A new minstrelsy combination but made up of artists very familiar to burnt cork with the two end men having offered, minstrel acts in vaudeville. They are Frank McBride and Hawthorne. There is a girl interlocutor (probably the same as in Hawthorne's former turn), that leaving a "circle" of four, the quartet showing fairly good voices. The six men enter in "one," exhibiting very loud minstrel clothes, exiting after a brief number, the act going to full stage the men by then having stripped to neat minstrel apparel. The end men are in dinner suits with cerise lapels, the circle being adorned in white evening clothes. The turn measures up to others of a similar class though it could cut a few minutes without damage.
