This -will, nnquestion ably. be the biggest entertainment and the classiest, too. that the Cher rians have ever attempted and it will be a surprise even to the most sanguine. ' King BIng Hal Patton has been In Portland for several days on Cherrlan "business,' which has to do with the minstrel show and entertatnmept ex traordinary, and when "Hal" goes any place on "business" the people of Salem and surrounding country know that there is something, doing out of the usual. C. D. Clancy, chair man of the decorations committee. has' olfo been in Portland for two days.

FUg Comic Parade Tueiy. Tuesday noonApril 23, there will be a big parade through the streets of the city as preliminary an nounrement of the performance. The minstrels will be out in run costume, headed by the Clrmian band, and it wiH be worth going miles to witness. 1 ThU reature is under the direction of Atthur Wallace, assisted by Elmer Daue and Paul Stege. The ' full, chorus. Including the funny black face end men .and escorted by the Cberrlans in uniform will constitute the parade and. just In the nature of a taste of what may be expected on the two night of the performance, ther will be laughs a-plenty. "Billy" ex-King BIng Lerchen, who will hold down one of the ends in the minstrel show, himself a comedian of known reputation and ability. Is traveling salesman (when he works) and, during his tours of the i-tate. has been keeping his weather eye open for something new and novel in the way of entertain ment and he has succeeded in pick ing up some teal screams. Just leave it to "Billy," he knows a good thin? when he sees It and" ne" prom ises to spring some extra , features that will raise the house. ' Th3 chorus has been rehearsing zealously every night for the past two weeks and has developed such marvelous perfection in harmony and volume as to provoke Director John W. Todd to tears of genuine joy and astonishment. He is very enthus iastlc'over the results that have been obtained and that he is Justified in so being, the public will freely testi fy when he.produces the goods. In- terlouctor H. C.

Gingrich and Albert Uillr, are in splendid voice and "figure" and will do the leading parts Juatlc. The songs, as stated before, are of the latest pa triotic composition and have never been heard bete before. Aside from the new reatures that "Billy" lerchen has signed up or the performance. 'there will be the mysterious comedian who will give a blackface monologue under the title of a "Confidential Chat" which will provoke 'screams of laughter. "He" (that's as far as we can go toward the Identity) H a. wonder In his line of running funny talk and he is load ed to the guards for tlie occasion! This feature alone is a good top-liner for the flit class vaudeville, and he" is "It" with a "capital "I". Cooke Put ton' Big AcU Now a Cherrlan minstrelsy, or any other Salem entertainment of high order of excellence .would . not be complete without Homo kind of a stunt by E. Cooke Patton, the wizard of Fpookey realm. Cooke will be ther- with bells for this occasion and his exhibition will be of a scope and character never before witnessed in Salem or the state of Oregon. He has been cpending 'several days in Port land completing his arrangements and, incidentally, selecting the costu- . . ............. . -afivjjy.j z mes for the leading parts n the min strel (how. Cooke can always be depended upon to spring a surprise hut, this time-he has exceeded even his own expectations and his exhibition of a "Nigh i in Spookville" la certainly a wonder. He has gone to great ex pen.ne in securing his stage settings and paraphernalia, for this event and when he appear in his cabinet of profound mystery, things will hap pen In such rapid-fire succession and such astounding aspect thateverybody will wonder how. in the world ' he can do it. ,' For instance:' He waves his hand or stamps his foot, and objects of all sorts and descriptions, such as oranges, balls, batons, tables; flow ers, flags, vases, and even butter flies float out of nothing and Into reality before the eyes of the audience. It Is really an astonishing and marv elons performance and one rarely seen eff the circuit of firse class vaudeville. Everyone of his stunts is entirely new, Cooke having spent man rleepless 'night and serious day. In' studying them out In detail and the way he does things actually makis the flesh creep. Then there Is the human hand, alive and as nat ural as life, that comes floating mys teriously out of the nowhere at the bidding of Cooke, and but wait until you see It, for' bne must' sot give away state secrets and Bo telling what dire clamlty Cooke might bring down on a fellow's head if he be trayed a confidence. So you have to see for yourself.
