"Dumont's Minstrels" Featuring John E. Murphy, Harry C. Shunk, George Wilson, F.R. Farron (Who scored a big hit with "Wedding Bells"), Allen Carter, Edwin Goldrick, James E. Dempsey, Vic Richards, Carroll Johnson and Alf S. Gibson. As a first part finale there was a
travesty bit called "The Merry Opera
War," with several operatic selections well
rendered. In the "Lucia" sextet number
Master Fagan, a boy soprano, made his
bow. George Wilson came next with his
singing and talking act and Miller and
Mack, a pair of clever dancers, closed.
Each act was received with the warmest
recognition and the afterpiece, "Who Discovered
The North Pole," met with an
equally cordial reception.
