MAHARA'S MINSTRELS.
(San Jose Daily Mtrcnry Feb. 1, 1904.)
"At the Victory Theater last
night Mahara'b minstrels were
greeted by a large and enthusiastic
audience. The show waa a surprise
to all, , being the largest and best
minstrel company ever in San Jose.
The singing was far Buperior to
many companies who boast of an
all-star cast.
"Mahara's carry a lady chorus,
which is quite an innovation fof a
minstrel company. The curtain
rises on a large company of colored
ladies and gentlemen. The fun
makers and the singing brought
numerous responses. The principal
comedians, Gordon Collins and Bill
McCarver. kept the house in con
vulsions The singing . by the
chorus' was far abve the average.
The olio was interspersed by some I
strong vaudeville acts. The hoop
rolling act of John English was ex
ceptionally titles .
The show concludes with the one-
act opera, Dusty Maidens," which
shows up the whole company to
advantage in the "Florodora" drills,
marches and cake, walking.
