Pharsonian Minstrel Show. large number of new songs. Six end men created the usual merri ment. McCoy, Breese, Nicholson, Von Senden, Waha and Armstrong received most favor at the hands of the appreciative audience, with their songs. In the olio, Foster and Armstrong as Crane and Barton in the sketch “On and Off,” came in for a good round of applause, and tne musical melange given by Ober, Chapman and Snavely was a big success. Snavely proved himself a versatile musician, and the comedy part was well carried by the other members of the trio. Waha. in a song sketch, made a hit. The final scene, The Lamb’s Club entertainment, was the best part of the evening’s program. The mem bers of the club were presented in a grill room scene, which was most effectively staged, and had some unique lighting' effects. The songs introduced in this act were very ap propriate, and Foster, as Senorita Inez Panatella in her latest dance, brought forth much applause by rendering the nearesi approach to a Salome dance seen in State College. Though the show dragged a little owing to frequent changes of cos tumes and stage change, it was a big success and merited the many ap proving comments it has received. New Publication.
