13 TJTZTX W CO It 1 C. IVofri'o IIiii-treliMii. Its Beauties and Deformities. V.'liiiiisici.lilios or ih I.usimss Eiid-.Uou a illiddle-Men. Veuci Who licit lias ever witnessed the triumphant air w till which the curtain rises upon the dinky band which constitutes a modern minstrel troupe can foriH't the vision, and not wish to possess eonic explicit information in regard to the lives and habits of Its members ? The are an en trancing throng, from the corpulont and cute darkey (and he is generally both) who occupies the position of "middle-man" to the versatile creature known as end-man, whose principal duties socra to be to twirl his tambourine around on the end of his thumb, and to innko panto mimic contortions meant to be picturesquely reflective upon the conduct of the other mem bers of the troupe. It is now nearly thirty years since negro mln strelisui began to be practised as a distinct pro fession. Its history as a separate aud special business begins as far back as the year 1312. Between then and the present time it bus drawn Into its embrace some of the most successful comedians, members of the legitimate drama, and Las been the means of presenting to the public some of the finest burlesque and finest specimens of ballai'-slnglng with which cul tured audiences have become familiar. Perhaps this is the reason why negro mlnstrelism is so greatly affected by that class of people which will not patronize the theatre, and who believe the opera to be the favorite gateway of Avernus. Such people must find some excuse for their Inconsistency, and they discover it in the great and genuine fun and the extremely simple, unaffected meledles thai are almost always to be enjoyed at burnt-oerk entertainments. Let it not be thought that these entertainments are lightly provided, or that they cause but little toil and cure on the part of thoso who furnish thorn. Because the fronts of minstrel halls are frequently seen ornameotod with knots of men remarkable for sickly complexions, bold eyes, and dhunonds, the settings of whleh are clogged with dirt, It is too of ten imagined that the burnt cork nrtlt-t leads a lazy life, and that his most important morning task consists in visiting the treasurer and drawing his salary for the preced ing night. The truth is, that excellence in this as in any other field i only attained by hard work, and the clog-danaer who enchants you with his reverberating paa and the transactor of the wench-business who delights you with his falsetto cavatina, have to keep at their work all the time just as surely as a circus ridor or a pianist does in order not to lose the knack of jumpiug through the hoops or harmonizing the proper chords. The burnt corklst who makes a mark in his profession is obliged to have a very fair degree of energy and perseverance. There are enough rivals in all the departments of the business to rendor a devoted attention to it ab solutely necessary. The man who is not an en thusiast in the work never rises out of the me diocre position in which he commenced the life, and just in proportion as that enthusiasm wanes o does the estimation in which the burnt-corklst is held by the public Perhaps one of the most singular features connected with the profession is the department known as the "wench business.'' This is com paratively a late omtcropping of burnt-corkism, not having been in existence longer than the last ten years. The business is a totally distinct one from the mere representation of a ."nigger girl." The artist who excels in the wench business is presumed to imitate all the airs and graces of a fashionable and popular prima donna. lie must divest himself as much as poHsible of any visible attribute of masculinity. His voice must be trained into that of an accom plished falsetto, and the more he is gifted with burlesque humor the : reater are his chanees of success. And yet, however much we may admire the art with which the transformation is effected, the character is always one which evokes some degree of contempt, for one can never see a man entirely lose all vestiges of manhood even In a play without visiting him with something very like a sneer. No art, indeed, on the part of the wench-delineator can supply the absence of that natnral femlnl city which is usually found in those who attempt that line of parts. They are generally nlmlny-plmlny hybrid-looking creatures off the tage, haloed witn an Ella Zoyara sort of repu tation, and remarkable in private life for those mincing ways which come in so aptly behind the footlights. Indeed, many ol them carry into private life those womanish peculiarities which are fostered by their professional employ Blent and are the result of what might be called the business habits of many years. There is more than one instance on record of a burnt-cork male prima donna, whose make up on the stage converted him into the life-like ness of a genuine woman, transacting in private life those duties which generally fall to the lot of the feminine mind and hand such as keeping a set of rooms in order, making the beds, doing the cooking, sewing, aud marketing, and at tending to all the details of feminine house keeping. In this manner two or more members of a minstrel troupe occasionally live together lu a modest set of rooms, each contributing his proportion to the general expense, and, strange as It may seem, the one who enacts the wench business npon the stage transacting those duties which custom usually assigns to the feminine bead of every household. Ills life off the stage becomes merely a continuation of his life upon it. When he appears behind the footlights the public merely behold a glorified exaggeration of what he really is in private lire, lie can make bonnets line a manner ana dresses uko a modiste. He can make dishes as good as those described in Miss Leslie's cookery-book, and the room or set of rooms in which ne lives are as neat as though he were in reality an old maid with no other aim in life than to prevent dust enough to settle to be picked up on the point of a pin. It not unfreqnently happens that the dresses of the entire troupe, particularly on the setting up of a "spectacular" piece where new nee are required, are made up by him, and that to his taste la costume and deft thread and needle the gorgeonsness ef the principal toilets is due. The notorious burnt-eorkist known as the Only Leon, and belonging to Kelly & Leon's Minstrels, New York city, is perhaps the most celebrated and unique doer of the wench-business extant. Seriously speaking he deserves to be called an artist, for be hesitates at nothing that will enhance the completeness of the rotes THE DAILY JTVlNGTELEGltAPn--PniL he tukes upon himself. He is possessed of qulta j nnfflclent brains to write such a burlesque as will tJci- with n New York audloncefdr! so'voral inotiilm at a time. He drosses his parti sump tuoudy. The more drosses ho can manage 10 wear during tl delineation of anyone particu lar rote, mid the more expensive, and startling Is their description, i'uo butter ho is satisfied. 'I lie foremost iL'treH in the foremost theatre of ilic I'mti-d Siiiu-H i not more expensively at tired i linn I .evii U winKi Ha is presenting some, !au)iile role. -Toe tee n Uie '"Grand Diietiesso'' never wore larger or more extravagant train'. 1 1 is etae jewels are among the most costly pro curable, and in ttia general dash aud dazzle of his ennemhlc lie goes far ahead of any other "weuchlst" in the profession. As an actor, too, he is not wlthoat a good deal of piquancy. Ills estrsordinary falsetto growing raggoder, alaul with every suason aids him to perfection in bis burlesque of such parts as "Marguerite" and "Boulotte." The practice of many years has bestowed upon him a knack of ogling and wriggling, a saucy, woman-like coeuetry of manner upon the stage that many actresses would like to be the happy possessors of, and which, to say the least, are very singular accom plishments in a man. In private life Loon is noted fer the quietness and modesty of his manners, and an almost girlish bashf ulness when particular attention is directed to him. The salaries of negro minstrels vary between twenty dollars and two hundred dollars per week. Twenty-five dollars per week may be assumed as the average. They don't like to play before cheap audiences, and the crowning boast of those that have played to dollar-and-a-half audiences is that they obtained "opera prices." Another thing that managers ef minstrel com panies who are minstrels themselves pride themselves upon is the thorough knowledge of music as a science which the members of their troupe possess, and the pure fuu and humor of the performance. That they give you as good music as you will get at the Italian opera, and that the cream of burlesque is furnished by them in a purer state than you would obtain it fro.a the Lydla Thompson burlesque troupe, are two of the chief tenets in the negro minstrels' belief. "We don't want none of your opera trash," said a celebrated minstrel to me one day. "We've got a better tenor in our troupe to-day than Brignoli ever was or ever can be. Brlgnoli ! (with a sardonic laugh) Why, he dou't amount to a row of pins. lie can't hold a candle up to him. And as for your burlesque, the publie laughs more in ten minutes at our enter tainment than it doe in three hours over Lydia Thompson's. We take the lasides right out of burlesque, we do, hand it over, and flop it down," and the speaker suited the action to the word as though he were really disembowelling the theme that he was talking about. They are very chary about admitting any new feature into the traditional performances. I was one day present at the rehearsal of a min strel troupe, when a new comer, who was nego tiating for an engagement, asked permission to try a new instrument before the manager. The latter assented, and the man forthwith un packed the instrument and placed it upon the stage. At first appearance it was something like an oblong box; but, seizing hold of a handle at each side, the man drew the contents of the box into an upright position, and lu an Instant you saw before you aa excellent imitation of a harmonicon. He sat down to play, and it sounded like oae a little more reedy, perhaps In fact,' the Instrument was intended to chime in with an orchestra and imitate the notes of reed instruments. The manager listened to it at first with admiration, then with an air of pen sivc disappointment. Finally he decided that the affair was very nice, but entirely too churchy" for a negro minstrel audience. He bad "felt the public" for many years, he said, and he did not think they would stand anything quite so "churchy" as that. The man's singing was vetoed by the discriminating manager for the same reason. He had an ex cellent tenor voice, and sang with feeling and expression, but he was unfortunate in his selec tion. Instead of sticking to some slmplo English ballad that would most likely have led to an en gagement, he chose a tiresome solo from some oratorio, and crushed his prospect with the first few bars. If the reader ever feels a desire to write a play or acting sketch, for the style of perform ance scarcely deserves to be called a play I advise him not to take the trouble to write it in rhyme, and not to stud it with too many or too pointed jokes, while he will never get the manager of a minstrel troupe to acknowledge that it is too good for them, that will certainly be the truth, and his burlesque ot course It will be a burlesque will most decidedly be rejected. Perfect rhymes, polished wit, and spicy songs are all wasted upon that class of performers The brilliant polntedness to which your couplets are refined will go for nothing at all. The most of your jokes will not be discovered, and your eengs will be p voh-poohed. What the minstrel wants is good coarse slang. The colors must be laid on with a whitewash brush, not a camel's hair pencil. Remember that they are to bo socn by several hundred average-minded people in the full flare of the burnt-cork footlights, and not to be read in an intellectual study beneath the glow of argand burners The intense delight with which the jigs and break-downs of mlnstrelism are surveyed by genuine negroes arises from the fact that these dances are exact reproductions of the ones which used to be in vogue among the colored people ot the South. Every step and motion bas been photographed with keen artistic eyes, andi reproduced with wonderful exactness. The wonderful delight in them exhibited by negro people can only be compared to the frantic ad aiirution of the Arabs for the performances of the French conjurer and plenipotentiary, Robert Iloudin. They flung themselves on their baoks and threw their feet in the air, and M. Iloudin avers that this gave him more profound satisfaction than the liveliest applause of the most aristocratic Parisian salont. Where do minstrels get their jokos from is a question that is often asked, and which it is hardly necessary to answer. In the first place, they have very few new jokes. The old ones are repeated week after week and season after season. At the same time it is not to be denied that In exceptional cases the "end-man" of a troupe, upon whom the duty devolves of fur nishing jokes, goos through all the comic alma nacs and the miscellaneous eolnmns ot many a newspaper in order to discover new ones. Few of them are the creation ef bis own brain. The San Francisco Minstrels in New York are a noteworthy exception in this respect. The genial Billy Birch sits at one end of the dusky segment behind the footlights, and the almost equally genial Billy Bacchus at the other. Mid way between sits Bernard, the inimitable "middle-man," and these three eenerally ill some portion of the evening with tnelr humorous im provisations. Still, at almost any entertainment ot the kind you must stand the chance of hear- ing some favorite minstrel, who understands his business, explain that ho can't sing to-night. He cut his little finger nail too close, and as a result caught cold. Or yon hear quall-on-toast de scribed as a pig's foot with a chlcken-wlng sewed to it. Or else yon are told that the speaker sent away a cob of corn, with tho direc tions that more beans should bo put on it. AH these are standard jokes. No one knows how many years they have been in existence, or how many years they will continue. Occasionally minstrels allow a performer to appear with a white face, but not very often. When this is allowed it is a special condition of the contract. The permission to wear a white face is accorded almost exclusively to boys with soprano voiccs.who sing ono or two sentimental songs during the evening, as was the caso with Master Cokcr, who travelled with Wood's Minstrels some years ago, and Master Raphael de Bolla, who last year sang at Bryant's, in New York. An exception is sometimes made in favor of harpists and other instrumentalists who form temporary connections with a troupe, and the merit of whose performances is sufficient to counterbalance any prejudices they may have against burnt-cork. The prices paid by minstrel managers to outside parties who furnish eongs, jokes, or burlesques are not very high. Ten dollar will perhaps be given for a sentimental song, but ten to one the piece will have to be altered to suit the requirements of tho tenor, who pro nounces it "not quite strong enough for him. Five dollars Is paid for a good joke or a good eotnlc song and fifty dollars for a burlesque. The terms upon which managers prefer accepting pieces is "io much down" (not much, the reader may bo confident) and a certain sum, which sec ma extravagantly large to the needy applicant, at the eud of the season should the urlesque prove successful. As a rule, professional minstrels, however well paid, do not save money. Their way of life presents temptations akin to those of the theatre, and they pluck the roses as they pass. A I.I ttABA.
