From the time the curtain .goes up
at the opening of the minstrel show
until it drops upon the coscluslon of
"Prolesror" E. Cook Pattern's great
est of all modern displays of mystic
necromancy there will be something
doing, and there will be hearty laugh
every second. 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

that there is something, doing out

will outclass anything that has ever
been seen in-the CherryfCity, or any
place for that matter.
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. Epley is all "swelled.
up" over the important of Ma -
ailed position in the renter of the
chorus but the endmen. composed of
"Hilly" Uttn. "Charlie." Know

While, haw some things . that .they
will spring upon "Hoc", that ar In
tended to take thv conceit out of

wltnrftseii to be, appreciated.
Th'j soloists: John W. Todd. John
Traefcer. O. A. May. O. B. 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-

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.
