Successful Minstrel Show in Opera House
A St Charles I O B U minstrel evening drew a large audience despite threats of bad weather. Edward F Christie directed the musical program with strong local talent and several out of town soloists. The Verdi Musical Club and a full chorus delivered a lively finale, with an extensive intermission program and a huskin bee to close.
