Coburn's Greater Minstrel Praised for Fresh Stage Verses
The opening ensemble deviated from old stereotypes and drew strong audience approval. The Rajah palace setting, staged by Cowe, showcased several popular numbers including Underneath the Southern Moon by Ben Mack and Elmer Simons, The Fountain of Youth by Charlie Gano, and a skit with a trick mule featuring Harry Toledo. Gano was highlighted as a major talent. The second act offered vaudeville with comedians, acrobats, sax and accordion players, and a quartet, all receiving encores. Restino drew repeated calls back for the accordion, and Darktown's Preparedness Recruits tied into postwar minstrel tradition. The show ended as strongly as it began.
