The Louisville Evening Post,:un,der
date of Tuesday, 'September 8,'" had
jjie-following account' of; this -.season 'a
production: - ' r '--v":" p '';
Enhanced by the glamor of a score
of opening '.nights at Macauley's r the
Al G. Field's Minstrels attraotail
full house of devotees of minstrelsy
w- season of 1912-13,-with their: per
formances on LaborDay, . afternoon
and evening. The interlocutor, end
jnan, "rulliid pahson,"-bell-hop, dus
jjv belle and -fantastic background,
with all the fittings and trappings of
real minstrelsy, delighted the audi
ence from the opening ensemble un
til "Old Glory' and "Star - Spangled
Banner rang down the curtain.' "En
joyment of the performance " was
somewhat marred by the - excessive
heat, which showed its effect on the
performers by causing' clothes and
paint of the dancers to mingle in
reckless abandon.
Spontaneous gales of merriment
vere evoked when - Gov.' . Bowen
discussed the liquor problem' in Ken
tuck and Al. G. Field himself, with
wide expansion of shiirt - front. ' and
.Apia giirth, took offense when Bert
gwor aired hig private political Views.
The trend of political sentiment In
the house co'udl be easily seen- when
the remark that Theodore Roosevelt
was the only statesman in the coun
try, and the conundrum, "If. it costs
a million -dollars to elect President
Taft, how much will it cost to elect
real President?" aroused instanta
neous applause. "Woodrow Wilsen,
Jlr. Bryan, George Washington,
Christopher Columbus and AflaTm and
Eve became involved in the political
tangle before Bert pulled . out with
Jiving colors.

: The latwr half of the show. is taken
&p with a travesty on the motor races
t Ormond Beach, in -which ;Gov.
Bowen tinkers -With the engine so
long that he is hurled into the "flies
at a terrific velocity, and gets nothing
out "$15 in the surplus fund" for his
exertion, which is promptly extricat
ed from his fingers to pay for moving
picture rights. "L1sh Murn's Dream.",
called a weird fantasy, gave expres
