It was her thot they eelcbr-ited'the twenty-fifth anniversary of their ) idnctlon of "The (Jeorgln Min strels" their original Uackfaco skit, which they haic been using In their repertory for nioro than forty jears. It was In this city that they celebrated their fortieth vnr in tho profession, and during their last np penranco at Keith's they celebrated tho an niversary of their partnership, which oc curred in 1S71. nurlmj their engagement here next week these blackface funsters will present their famous travesty called "On Otiard." and it will ho the first time in ten years that they have played It here. This piece has been used at Intervnls by Mclntyre and Heath for almost forty years, and hos had almost ns much to do with making them Interna tionally known as "The Georgia Minstrels." More than a quarter of n century ago they made a trip t.irough Europe, being among tlie first of the American blackface come dians to cross the ocean. While they had been more popularly Identified with 'iThe Georgia Minstrels," th latter sketch did not tako as well with the foreign theatre goers as -"On Ouard," rrcause of Its military character, which was easier for the people over there to understand. Later, when Mc. intyre und Heath made a second tour of Kngland as tho starn of n, minstrel troupe, they used "On Guard" as an 'uftcralece building it up througli the addition of other' members of tho company. "On Guard" was used for many years by the minstrels as their contribution Ut the combination variety show which toured tho country under the title of Mclntyre and Heath's High I'rlza IdealH. This was long before tho present hlgh-cinsj vaudeville was Inau gurated, but "On Oua"l" has lasted as long as any of tho others, and is Mire to revive memories of tho past In the minds of those who retnember it. If is particularly apropos at conditions In the country at present, and nlthough the principals have added few lines of business which bring the tl up-to-date, they never depart from their char acters of tho old-time darkles before the war.
