One of the big novelties in Minstrelsy this season and a leading feature with Mahara's Minstrels is the appearance in the first part of eight handsomely costumed Jady vocalists. This double quartette of ladies are graduates of the famous Dunavin Musicall College , where all the high-grade colored musi cians are educated. Jt is an acknow- ledged 'fact that singing features of this organization compare favorably with the finest operatic companies m ex istence and surpass in excellence of harmony all so-called Minstrel vocalists. It has always been the endeavor of Ma- hara Brothers to excel in singing feat ures , and these.ladies , aided by twenty male voices in grand chorus certainly prove that the management has "struck the'keynote to success , and also in- vigorat6s the life of ministrelsy. . 50 YEARS' EXPERIENCE ' of TRADE MARKS DESIGNS . , . .
