BURNS MAN ID
TELL OF FRAUD
Detective Reed Star Witness
in South Carolina Primary
Investigation.
SPARTANBURG, S. C., Sept. 24.
The committee investigating alleged
frauds in the recent primary election
In South Carolina this afternoon began
hearing testimony of witnesses who
have made investigations in this part
of the state. The Spartanburg sub
committee has collected considerable
data of alleged irregularities, including
350 duplicate names on the club rolls.
E. S. Reed, the Burns detective who
laid the trap for Samuel J. Nichols, the
Spartanburg attorney involved in the
alleged pardon-selling scandal that was
exposed before the primary, is expected
to be tlie star witness before the com
mittee at the sessions here. He has not
arrived, or at least has not made his
presence known, but is slated to take
the witness stand. Reed, with six as
sistants, has been investigating irregu
larities in Greenville county and is ex
pected to make public the results of
the work.
Chairman W. F. Stevenson and other
members of the committee reached
Spartanburg early this morning. At*
torneys for both the Biease faction and
the Jones side are here. Mr. Steven
son stated that the committee
had named various sub-committees
throughout the state to Investigate the
frauds in these respective districts and
tliat the Investigation here would be
along the lines of hearing the reports
and considering affidavits that are to
be submitted.
AT THE THEATERS
AL FIELD’S MINSTRELS A
BLENDING OF OLD AND NEW
All of the most pleasing features In
songs, costumes and phantasy of the
modem minstrels are presented this year
by Al Field, while the old-time negro and
the songs and dances which really make
such a show are also preserved in their
best light.
A packed house, in which society in
all its glory vied with the gallery and bal
cony In all their enthusiasm, met Field
and his melody and fun makers last night
at the Atlanta, and none went away dis
appointed.
The old semi-circle was minus when
the curtain arose on the opening scene,
sometimes called the “first part,” but
so different In this show as to be un
recognizable.
The minstrel is really an extravaganza,
with the usual lack of plot of extrava
ganzas. It opens on a hotel plaza set
ting, and the time Is supposed to be the
night before the Ormond Beach auto
races. Here the guests are the singers
and the fun-makers are the waiters and
the bell boys are the chorus.
The guests are fantastically attired in
the costumes of the Spanish cavalier, and
the waiters alone, in their costumes, re
mind one of the old-fashioned minstrel,
lu this scene are presented the best of the
old and new songs, and here the old
minstrel friends so long presented by
Field are given their chance—and accept
it splendidly.
Among the ballads presented were
"Asleep in the Deep," by Harry Frillman,
and "No One Knows,” by Walter Sher
wood, with encores. The best received
song of all was the baritone solo of Jack
Richards, “Till ths Sands of the Desert
Grow Cold,” with "If Dreams Were Sold”
as an encore.
Gov. Bowen's “Rag, Rag, Rag," and Ed
die Dunigan's "Way Down South” were
also especially pleasing.
John Healy, perhaps the best stump
speaking character actor In the black
face realm today, sang his old success,
"Old Black Joe,” and danced his rheu
matic clog amidst gales of applause. This
was looked forward to, and his appear
ance was the siganl for a hearty and sin
cere welcome.
The “after part” was given over al
most exclusively to the four principal
comedlans--Bert Swor, Gov. Bowen, John
Healy and Steve Werher —although they
were ably assisted by many lesser lights
Field’s minstrels this season is like the
show when it was In the heyday of its
success. The scenery and lighting ef
fects are gorgeous, the artists are real ar
tists with the “real goods,” the jokes are
funny and told exactly right, and an
evening spent with the show is an evening
profitably spent.
Here tonight and tomorrow matinee and
night at the Atlanta. It's not Just as
good; it’s better.
BILL AT GRAND MAKES
BIG HIT WITH PACKED HOUSE
The vaudeville bill at the Grand this
week is a wonder. The entire offering
is up to date in every particular, with
three or four high lights away above the
average Froslnl comes next to last on
the bill, but first in favor of the audience
His playing on the accordion must be
heard in order to understand the furore of
applause he creates. Again and again
the audience called for more, and only
desisted from further encores out of
sympathy for the slight figure and the
ready, smiling face of the player, whose
music is a manual labor as well as a
spiritual inspiration. Frosini is worth go
ing to hear if there was nothing else on
the bill. After he comes on, one almost
forgets there was anything else, but a
second thought recalls many pleasing fea
tures.
“More Sinned Against Than Usual”
was received with thorough appreciation
At the close of the number, the hero and
heroine were applauded with feeling, and
the villain hissed In the regulation way.
the audience falling Into the spirit of
the “meller-drammer” along with the
cost. Vlvla Ogden, of Mis’ Hazy fame
in “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,” is
a member of nte cast, which is fully com
petent and includes eleven members.
The Herrens wore a delightful sur
prise, one of the brothers offering the Im
personation of a very charming and hand
some woman, wearing stunning gowns.
Not even a suspicion crossed the minds
of “her” admirers until the beautiful
titlan-colored coiffure came off at the
close of the act, revealing the close
cropped hair of a young man. The act
Is one of the best ever of Its kind, and
the female impersonator was so earnestly
recalled he had to plead his discomfort in
"this strait-jacket’’ In order to be let off.
Miss Elida Morris, a charming singer,
is a splendid feature of the bill, and other
members are the LaVlne-Cimaron trio,
giving an acrobatic act. In an original
and amusing form; the Ferrell brothers,
offering a fine bicycle act, and the three
Parrell sisters, in a clever and pleasing
gymnastic novelty.
“THE GOOSE GIRL" DRAWS
GOOD AUDIENCE AT LYRIC
“The Goose Girl,” a clean, wholesome
drama, with a company of well trained
and pleasing people, opened a week's en
gagement at the Lyric Monday night,
and pieased a good-sized audience.
This company is composed almost whol
ly of the same people who appeared in
the same play at the Lyric last season,
and time has only improved this splendid
company.
If the approval shown by those at the
Initial performance Is an indicator, the
Lyric will do an increased business the
remainder of the week, and It is well
worth the time and money to see this
show. It is clean, interesting and well
presented.
"The Goose Girl" will be at the Lyric
for the entire week, with matinees
Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday.
