The following is what tlie itristol, Teiin.,
Courier has to say of tlie Al fi. Field
Minstrels and Spectacular Pantomine of
Aladdin Co., wbieli will give on.t perfor
inanee at Opera House this city on bat
unlay evening, Feb. Kith:
The theatrical season in Itristol was
opened l ist nittht by Al fi. Field’s big
minstrel company. A better show could
not have been selected to open the house,
and the audience was delighted with the
program offered them. The comedians
are Al O Field, Tommy Donelly, llarry
Shunk and K. M. Ilall, and all of them
are stars. Al Field is probably the bent
minstrel exponent of the genuine .South
ern “ nigger” on the stage. Every act
and every word of Ids is so true to life
that it is extremely comical. That fat,
lazy drawling way of Al’s would make a
sick man laugh. K. M Hall, l.anjolst.
Kent the audience wild with delight.
Nothing like hU playing h:m ever been
heard here, lie In a negro coined inn of
the find rank, and Ik full of an indexcri*
ide drollery that i« an unique as it U ir 1
rcHUtlhlr. The Martinetti llruthcr* did 1
a Mplendid tumbling art ; tlie Alvarez
Family did a novel and charming mmd-
eal act; Arthur Yule, triple-voiced vo-
ealiht and inimie,deliglited the audience
The voealiNlK of tlie allow are many, and
all of them aix good. Tlie hIiow laat
night Htreiigt belied* the popular verdict:
“The heat minHtrel allow ou the road.”
