Al. O. Field's Beat.Before a huge audience In the after-
noon and literally a sold-out house atnlgrit. the Al. G. Field s Minstrels gavtyesterday the most screamingly funn>performance that 1 have ever witnesseoby this organization. And this, tooIn spite of the fact that this old-younpminstrel of some twenty-five years olfame is not working himself. In hiestead we had Burt Swor (for years-in musical comedy), John Healy. DotQulgiey and Gov. Bowcn, besides an
unusually clever entertainer namedNick Glynn. with his pockets full olmusical oddities; a chorus of ringingpower, several men whose f-olo workdelighted the big audiences, and lot."of new and laugnable gags.This man Heuly grows more absurrt
each season; every year the chronictheatre-goers, who have known hispeculiar style for many a day, almostyell their joy ut the utter foollshnes.-of him. Doc Qulgiey and Gov. Bowenare as clever and funny as ever, andBurt Swor is a more than valuable ad¬dition to Mr. Field's company. lithas a sort of monologue during oneof the changes in which he does u dla-.logue between a darkey, who ribs him¬self up with a "Swift and Enston" gun,and his girl that made even the topgallery shout Its approval.The "scenic surprises" and "transfor¬
mations" were wonderfully pretty; th»chorus sang, as has been mentioned,with ringing pow"er. in spite of thefact that it does not as yet- sing alto¬gether as a unit. Tho soprano. Her¬bert Wllllson, and first tenor. WalterSherwood, who stood together, in par¬ticular, had an unpleasant trick ofcoming Into the choruses a fraction ofn beat too soon, but this Is doubtlesähypercritical, and. besides, will be cor¬rected after the organlzatlr>n has beentogether a little longer. And, beside:1again, the audience went crazy aboutthe singing of both of these men, sopossibly, they should be allowed somolittle liberties, and their voices are re-marknble, whether every semi-muslclanlikes them or not. Jack Richards andJacl< King Allman also sang their wayInto the heart of the house. But thejman to whom chorus singers shoulubow Is the steady war-horse of a sec-ond bass, who stands on the right end.looking from the house, and sings con-¦latently and conscientiously throughthe performance, and runs down any¬where he pleases, with ease and abso¬lute certainty, holding down the restof the chorus, which stands on Its toeswhen an opportunity of volume Is of¬fered. The Interlocutor has a goodvoice and reads his few lines pleas¬ingly, hut it Is respectfully suggestedthat, as he Is made up without theblack face, he do not say "you was,"and, further, that he do not. In the restof the tour through the South, speakof a negro servant girl as "this younglady."But enough of "criticism"; the show-
is absurdly clever and amusing.thatball game In Itself Is worth seeing sev¬eral times.ond who wants a half-waytechnical criticism of a minstrel per¬formance anyhow? W. D. G.
