Th Original Sandy Dixit Minstrels.
I a real colored minstrel variety
show. It ia the real thing and has set
a standard for Simon pure, old time
negro minstrelsy that puts it in a
das by itself. It haa no competitors
for it is absolutely alone, unequalled
and unrivaled, and this expression is
shared by th dramtic writers in all
the cities where, th "Original Dandy
Dixie Minstrels" have thus far pre
sented their inimitable performance.
Th iNew York Herald for instance,
declare that it ia unquestionably the
best negro minstrel abow ever seen in
this country; the New Orleans Piea
nna declares that it is the very best
colored minstrel organisation that has
ever appeared in th Crescent City,
The Dallas Times-Herald in review
ing the first performance in that city
said: "The house was packed, th ap
plause was vociferous for . the start
AH the old time darkey songs were
sung and all . the old time darkey
dances with new time frill were giv
en by tbe light-stepping son of Afri-eanus,'-
Burnt eork minstrelsy is all
right, but these minstrels were made

close to first place, as amusement and
fun creators.'" : " ;

Great Excitement At The Pastime
Saturday Bight Be Daaaag Ex
cept Destruction f BL
Tbe reel of a picture that was. be
ing exhibited at tbe Pastime picture
show caught fir Saturday night,
causing great excitement among tbe
spectators at tha abow and necessitat
ed calling out tha fire depart meat.
The fire started about 030 o'clock,
at a time when th streets were
crowded with people, who made a rush
tor tha seene. On account of tha well
protected booth, which kept the flames
confined and tbe presence of mind of
Palmer Stickley, who wss operating
the machine, a serious catastrophe
was probably averted. Young Stick
ley mastered the situation by picking
op ths burning film, crawling down
from ths booth and tossing it into the
street Th fire wss caused by the
reel, which ia of celluloid - and of
course ia easily inflammable, catching
fir by being exposed to the beat from
a nearby electric light while not be
ing operated, tha operator making the
mistake of stopping hia machine and
not turning out th lights. The reels
are valued at about $100 each and it
is not known whether the company
carries insurance on them or the own
ers will be held responsible.
When the alarm was turned in and
the fire alarm sounded a flutter of ex
citement ahot through the audience
at the opera bouse for "The Clans
man." Several arose and started to
rush out but they were stopped with
little effort, and in a few minutes the
incident waa over.
