GREAT SUCCESS
They went to laugh, and they did.
It was certainly a case of laugh and
the balance of the 700 people who at
tended the Moose minstrels last night
would laugh with you. Empress thea
tre was crowded and no one called
upon the ticket seller to refund their
money. The show was worth the price
and Director Wilford and troupe lived
up to their advertisements.
While it was necessary to applaud
the orchestra into motion and music,
after it did start, things went through
with a whoop. Not a hitch nor a miss
marred the evening’s program that
was good from start to finish and evi
denced the result of thorough training.
The scenery, furnished by the Alaska
Labor Union, was shifted silently and
swiftly and showed the deft hand of
George Purvis, whom the members of j
the company desire to thank at this
time for his proffered assistance.
Red, and white, and black was the
prevailing color scheme, and no one
could guess, by looking at them, that
Howard, Small, Rice, Potter, Koberly,
McBride, Vint, Korth, O’Neill, Ogelvie,
Sleuter, Thompson, McManima, Au
mann, Hoefel, Locke, Keys and Wil
ford sat around the half circle, presid
ed over by Fred Martin, with the as
sistance of Hale Schaleben.
The local hits were good, and many
of them went home, but no one took
offense, for it was all said in jest. The
audience appreciated the efforts and
responded spontaneously and vocifer
ously. The recent action of the auth
orities and the gambling cases came
in for the major share of quibs and
jests, and O’Reilly, Summy, Shonbeck,
David and other world-wide celebrities,
were, not overlooked in the vein of
humor that prevailed throughout the
evening. ,
The solos were all very good, while
the choruses lacked pep and volume
The usual bones and tambourines were
in evidence but were appai^ntly used
as ornaments; they couldn’t speak for
themselves.
The curtain raised on the grand en
semble and the fun commenced and
lasted throughout the entire program.
Every member was greeted with ap
plause from the audience, that con
tinually called for an encore. The bur
lesque fashion show was a scream, and
the hit of the evening. From “Here
comes the bride,” to the falling leaves
and the fairy in night de robe, the
house was in an uproar.
Master Hale Schaleben had won the
Anchorage audience in his previous
performances and he did not disap
point them last night. In the future a
minstrel show in Anchorage without
Harold Howard will be a misnomer.
He was the stellar star among a ga
laxy of stage artists. Nothing but
praise has been heard on the streets
today for the Moose minstrels and to
Director Wilford should go the major
credit. The stage setting was appro
priate, the suits and make-ups were
splendid and the troupe, individually
and collectively, are to be compli
mented oh the manner they carried
out a program that gave two hours of
continuous enjoyment and pleasure to
an appreciative Anchorage audience.
The Moose delivered and it is the com
mon request that they repeat.
