The band boys* entertainment on Eri day evening drew a large crowd at the o|>era house, which whs well filled. The first part of the program was musical and minstrel in character, and when the curtain rose a scene presen ted itself which was something new for Tillamook. The entire band, which had been augmented by a number of local musicians,appeared as a colored troupe, dressed in white jackets, while the leading charac. ters wore black, high colors and gorge­ ous red ties. And with new scenery the boys presented a fine appearance in their new role. They then played some good music, which included the follow pieces, made up with vocal solos and choruses ; March, "Hambletonian"........ R. B. Hall Band. Vocal, ' Any Rags"......... Barney Fagan. J. Al. Smith. Overture, "Sure Thing"..... •Tobani. Band. Vocal, “My Dusky Queen”...... Hylands, R. W. Watson. March, “Give the Countersign"...Houten. Band. Vocal,"Capering on theGreen,"Edmonds. Fred Sappington. Selection, "Southern Memories," Hecker. Band. \ ocal, ‘Mississippi Mamir.ie," Sterling. P. J. Sharp. March, “Copper Queen" ..........Schermcr. Band. The second part was made up of short sketches, the two best characters being F. L. Sappington and W.H. Evans, espe­ cially the latter, who took the part of "Parson Johnson," and he did so in a style which entitled him to the honor of being the best character player in the minstrel trou|>e. The closing piece was a farce, entitled “A Close Shave." which caused considerable laughter, the charac­ ters in which did remarkably well, and included the following ; Barber Tonsor.................... Walter Baker. Mike, apprentice......... Fred Sappington. Zeb, nigger flunkey ......... R. W. Watson. ( rusty, eccentric individual. Sollie Smith. Simper, a dude .................... W. Trombley. Heavy Face, a knocker... Walter Pettevs. Conductor W. Trombley has certainly brought the band upto a standard where thev play good music, as all can testify to who heard them on Friday.
