I1URSDAY evening's re
turn engagement of the
Megacephalic and Mas
todonic Minstrels takes
front rank among the
aLS entertainment features of
its class given here, a brilliant success
from start to finish, the memory of which
will cause smiles for many a day. From
the time the curtains parted until they
closed there was not a dull moment,
snappy chorus work, excellent solos,
end men's gags, hits and roasts upon local
things, conditionvjuidjjeepie combining
to keep the company which taxed the
.Music Room of The Holly Inn to its ex
treme capacity continually entertained
and most of the time, in an uproar of
laughter.
Long before the hour set for opening
the Music Room was filled, and many lin
gered after the performance to extend
congratulations and to express their ap
preciation, a significant indication of the
character of the performance being an
enthusiastic demand for its repetition
during the coming week as an entertain
ment feature for the visiting golfers who
will be assembled here for the annual
Midwinter and Advertising contests.
Thus early the third engagement is being
anticipated, for new hits, new songs and
new features are promised if the company
can be kept together.
The curtain rose promptly at eight
thirty with the gajr company seated in
the usuil circle, the end men and women
in fantastic garb, backgrounded by the
chorus, the women in pink and white
checked skirts, and the men in evening
dress, with the interlocutor, white faced
and immaculate in the centre.
The usual opening chorus set the ball
rolling, and jokes, hits and roasts inter
mingled with solos, T. R. Newbold of
Washington, opening with 'Do, Ra, Me,
Fa, Sol, La, Si, Do." Miss Capel of Pitts
burg, sang "Robinson Crusoe's Isle"' ;
Mr. Cyrus N. Gorton of Buffalo, "Go
While the Goin' am Good" ; Mrs. W. F.
Wilson of Pittsburg, "Friends that are
Good and True" ; Mr. Charles Baxter of
Boston, "The Bird on Nellie's Hat" and
"I'd Rather be Outside Lookin' in Than
Inside Lookin' Out" : Mrs. David Flem
ing of Philadelphia, "Bill Simmonds,"
and Mr. Jay V. Hall of Pittsburg, "He
Walked Right in and Turned Around and
Walked Right Out Again," the first part
ending with a grand medley finale, "Way
Down upon the Suwannee River" and
"Dixie Land."
Encores greeted every soloist and the
response was usually a verse with a local
hit, Mrs. Fleming and Mr. Baxter being
the particular stars of the evening. No
bits, among them being first page stories
denying that Manager Creamer was
driven under a bed by an irate woman
guest, and a detailed and graphic descrip
tion of the annual Thanksgiving week
golf tournment.
There were also editorials (?) in the
usual happy style of the paper, lost and
found advertisements with sly pokes at
people, and most entertaining of all the
following query column :

management receiving its share.
The first of the second part was de
voted to solo buck and wing dances by
two colored caddies and Mr. Hall, the
whole three appearing later in a break
down which caught the crowd.
Last but not least was the appearance of
the Editor (?; of The Outlook with his
famous sheet "The Outburst," peaked
hat and all, from which he read choice
