Field’s Minstrels.
Of this company, which appears
here Wednesday nlglit of this week,
tbe 17tb, the Indianapolis Journal
sayH:
A. f). Field’s Minstrels opened a
brief engagement at English’s
Opera-house last night before a
gcod-sizedaudience. The first part
Is a departure from the stereotyped
methods usually employed. It
represents the cabin of ustcumboat,
aud the specialties are introduced
during the progress of a meal. The
singing is of au attractive order,
care being taken to eliminate all
that Is old. Field, Van and Don
nelly are very funny In tlrelr comic
songs, and George Hassell surprised
the audience with the clearness
aud strength of bis soprano, for
that is just what his voice Is. His
selections were exceptionally well
received. The dancing tournament
Feteof the flowers," which opened
the second part, was a . novel feat
ure, and the statue clog which
formed a part of It was well done.
Cradoc, king of Roman axes, gave
last night’s audience something al
together new here, aud his act is
worth seeing. Van in his mono
logue was heartily encored, his
witticisms being a mixture of new
and old, with enough of the former
predominating to render bis spe
cialty enjoyable. Tbe Morissey
brothers do abrnt as clever a kuock
about act as was evei* seen, and they
nre liar 1 and successful workers.
The balancing act of Estus is won
derful, and his equal, even among
the Japs, Is difficult to find. The
Mlgnani troupe, formerly with the
Klralfy’e, got more music out of
wood and stone than would be
thought possible. They are the
original "musical pavers,” and
their act is always popular. The
after piece, called “Tho Governor’s
Guards lu Camp,” was of a mirth
provoking order. The company
will conclude Its engagement with
performances this afteraeon and
evening.
