i THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1912. ' . m . LIHCOLtl MINSTREL SHOW PLEASES ALL Student Actors Make Instan taneous Hit at Perform ance in Bungalow. PLAY HAS VIM AND DASH Fare "Delicate IMnah" Is Bet of .Multitude of Excellent Enter tainment Feature Music Catches Popular Far. BY LEONE CASS BAER Whn the walls of Lincoln Hign achaol have crumbled Into historic dust and Its prrsent studrnts grown Into wtute-halred. or no-balred. but n erabie old gentlemen, they'll still ' mouthing with fondest recollections or tba time they showed Portland folk bow to pull off a real live, up-to-tne-mlucte minstrel ahow. For they cer tainly did that, and more, last even ing at tba Bungalow Theater. Just a handful, well a double handfull of boy frans the Lincoln High put the ahow on all by themselves, every speck of It except making their wearing apparel. Jf they had been given time tbey would have done that. too. Edgar B. Piper. Jr.. and Mandeil Wales were the chefs who concocted tba ebony dish and after they baJ pat In tba rich stuffing John E. Frank. In tba role of stage director, baked It Into a aavorlness for them. Aadleae " Taeater. Last evening It waa aerved before an audience that for size threatened to burst the seama of the Bungalow, and for enthusiasm out-rivalled a bunch of fana yelling for their home team. As a general rule the home-grown variety of minstrel show la a case of tha In discreet rushing la where angela fear to tread. And nearly every lodge, or der and what-not society grabs a mln atrel show aa the best meana of show ing off Individually and collectively Ita members, no matter what their pre vloas condition ot servitude or strata of histrionic ability might be or might not be. That is why the traditions about a minstrel show not bearing tba trade mark of Primrose or at least Lew Dook atader, not being tha real "pajenza waa mercilessly slaughtered last even ing and burled with no flowers. Tba Lincoln High mlnstreia made very other local affair of Its nature look like a large cry for succor. This Isn't fulsome flattery, and those who don't believe It can go thia afternoon or tbla evening and prove It to their en everlasting satisfaction. All Traditions Fellewed. From the first splash of merry mu sic, made by their own orchestra, to " tba fail of the final curtain, raised and lowered by tbelr own stagehands, the entertainment In every way waa worthy of Ita name. In true regulation style, according to all the established rules of mlnatreldom. since tbe days when Ham and his family gave the original one. this one departed not from tha primer of rules. First came tha ensemble, with Ita dingy gents. Its end men -and Its Inter locutor, followed by tbe plantation ex travaganza. In Just this and no more tha boye followed tha path. First of ail everyone of them waa letter per fect In bis role, no hitches or alarm log halts occurred, and the whole pro duction whirled along with a marathon glide that fairly dasxled. There wasn't one awkward situation or lapse of memory, everything and everybody dovetailed beautifully Into a harmon ious whale. Clarence Toung. -In evening dress, with a gay red ribbon across his chest that made him look like a poster of Prince Someone In the back of a mag a sine, was the distinguished interlocu tor. Ranged on either side of him In a seml-clrcle. were the "dlnges. clad in . Immaculate white, from shoes to gloves, and each an ebonlxed reproduc tion of the other. These men were Richard Case. Robert Fink. George Love. Carl tmmons. Jerome L, Hols men. Robert Hadiey. Charles Ahlsen. Kdlson Windgarde. Frank Shear. An thony Bancroft. Louis Brenner. Roland Bristol. BH1 Postlea. Henry Trowbridge. Merle Rousellot. Herbert Sessions and Martin Schade. On the end. resembling nothing so much as sticks of striped rd and white peppermint topped off wits dusky faces, were tha fair e men. Edgar Piper. Mandeil Weiss. Fran, els Provost and Russell Case. ass Catrte Hearer. The opening chorus by the "entire company consisted of a tuneful med ley of popular airs, sung with a swing and dash that set folks' feet a-tapplng silently. Then Russell Case and Fran cis Provost stepped out and parodied They're All Good American Names. substituting Instead tha cognomens of teachers and "profs." In rapid turn followed solo by Prank Shea. Jerome L. Holsman. Mandeil Weiss and Robert Fink. Bill Forties, Edgar Ilper and Richard Case, esch one Introducing various bits of tarpalchore and gener eusly responding to demands for re calls. Between each solo was sand wiched "Jokes. Jibes and Joshes, to Quota the programme. And they were new Jokes, bright Jibes and "classy Joshes, told Inimitably by the four end men. and extremely mirth-provoking. Aa a finale ot the first section, a trav esty on band-directing was given by "Madame Pascal. an nnprogrammea comedian, who acted as -a curtain dropper, with her baton wildly beating and the end men hammering tor dear Ufa en drums. Aa Intermission waa followed by a particularly attractive number. a couple of songs and a dance or two by Frank Shea and a mighty pretty little maid named Pauline Helntx. They did it so well the audience thought they were professionals that tn, tha part of the audience who didn't know they wrra students. Delleata Dlasb" le Hit. Then followed tha piece de resistance a cleverly put together hodgepodge of witty lines, ludicrous situations and catchy songs, set to the title at ''Deli cate Dinah." Edgar Piper wrote tha words ot both the sketch and Ita prin cipal song, which was set to rausio composed by Miss Constance -Piper. Given aa a solo, with danca steps to accent its delightful melody, and with a chorus of duky belles and beaux, Mr. I'tper'a rendition ot the song waa one of tbe real big rlota of the even ing. The two verses and chorus of "Delicate Dinah are aa follows: (mi sing ef beanttfal maiden. Of exquisite baauty and crac. Pot thr ail must acknowledge my Dinah la tt fairest by fr of her rsre. Her fame is both strong and substantial; h's emrle. luxurious, round. And I oimnly sar if ou look every where Her equal will never be found. CHORUS. Oh. ssr delicate Dinah.

My coal black affinity. Cornet Sola Appreciated. In the extravaganxa a touch of real minstrelsy was added with the vocal and Instrumental music. Of the latter. Andrew Loney's cornet aolo and 8ev erln Harkson's clarinet accompaniment was much applauded. In tha "noisy quartet" these two muslclana were fur ther supplemented by Sherman Hark aon and Walter Grebe. Mlsa Constancy Piper waa to have been the piano ac companist, but waa prevented through Illness. The orchestra waa under di rection of Tr. Frederick E. Chapman and the orchestra members were: Lee Bequalth and Paul Wilson, first vio lins: Clifford Drushel and Victor Hoe fllch. second violins: Severlnr Harkson. clarionet; Andrew Loney. Jr, cornet; Sherman Harkson. trombone; Walter Grebe., cello: Henry Helgesson, baas; George E. Qrlfflth, drums. Candy for sale In souvenir boxes waa sold about tha foyer by a aextet of pretty maids In dainty gowns. These were Mlsa Kathleen Bealy and Charlie Funton. of Lincoln High School; Ruth Cushtng and Myrtle Gram, of Jeffer aon High School; Lois Ladd and Haael Russell, of Waahlngton High School. Tbe decorationa were quite In keep ing with the spirit of tha affair, great quantities of pennants being used ef fectively abont tha boxea and across tha top of tba stage. This afternoon at a matinee and again this evening tha minstrels will ahow again at tha Bungalow. It's a well worth wh.ll at traction.

Governor Wilson said that while, ha la a firm believer in the representative form of government, yet when It ceases to represent the people some other form must be found to correct It. There are two theories of governy men." he said. "There are aome peo ple who believe that those who have tba biggest material stake In the de velopment of the country should guide Ita government.
