j "Big" John Vogela and his aggre-jlgation of minstrels, all white, some Jmale, others of the other sex, got in n

touch again with us at the Maryland j5Theatre last night an4 got pretty jflclose to our hearts, although "Big" JJohn and his crew of fun makers !are no strangers. It wasn't a bad'l

| show.fact, twas a pretty good show, I| got better as it progessed and practi- IJ cally pleased a good house. There ,1were some classy doings on and off |

j some singing that was quite up to Ithe mark, some good dancing, some Iwhimsicalities that we::t well, and Ithen some. ''Big" John, who grows 9more like Grover Cleveland daily,smiled broadly as he stood in frcnt Iand listened to tne repeated applause. |You can say what you uarn please, I

but Cumberlanders like a good mia- Hstrel show. That's why "Big" John jcomes here with his drafted crew of Imerry-makers;. John says, "I'm too Jfat to fight, but I'm trying to "do my Ibit" by pleasing and amusing, themultitude. Am I right or am I

wrong?" John, you've got the right Iidea, all right. Keep it up Your |bun^h of merrymakers are welcome 9soon again. IThere was our old friend, Tom |

Donnelly, who always gets by with Ieclat. Then Mack and Miller, who hadthem agoing for twenty minutes all I

i by themselves. Some classy "girls," Itrulv. Juulienne Fox and Leland Foster B

j helped things along well, also "Fun-Bny 'Nick." j I

j John leads off his show with "The I

j Rainbow Palace" potpourri of min-, |strelsy, combining a bunch of goodpopular songs and some humor of Ithe catchy kind. Even some new jok- I

i es were to be had. The concluding Hskit "On to Chihuahua" a military bit Hof joshing wound up an evening thatsent all home witn a smne aimosi as

broad as "Big" John Vogel carriedafter he witnessed the good receptionCumberland gave his bunch.
