MINSTREL SHOW
JOKES CAUSING
SERIOUS TIME
Board of Censors Attempts to
Restrain Certain Lines
from Being Spoken.
I .art night a sol f-aj pointed boardj
of cemorn swooped down on the re
hearsal of the end men of the min-;
strcl show to be given next week!
at the Coliseum Theatre for the;
benelit of the local playgrounds and!
attempted to create a stampede as'
regards about 20 of the jokes which
are to be sprung. ,
The recent announcement that
civic matters, the legislature, pro
hibition and other topics are to be
treated ‘'rough-house" caused some
excitement anu.wg a certain eluent,
in Juneau; and it is understooiWhat
following a meeting of the element,
a board of censors was appointed
to give the jokes the “once oVetf" j
When the board of censors ar
rived at the tire hall last night.j
wltero the end men and the inter-;
..tutor were rehearsing, and stated,
he purpose of the attendance, a neat
riot resulted.
The board of censors members
<vere kindly but emphatically toldi
to “get out." In just as equally an
emphatic manner they came back
with the abrupt announcement they
would "not.”
As two women were on the board
of censors, the men members were
safely protected from assault al
though for a minute or so it looked
us If there would be a hot time.
Jokes Are Sprung.
Finally Dolly Gray. Chief of the
Department, and Harry Sperling.:
who is mainly responsible for ail of
lie jokes and business, decided that
f the board of censors could stand
'ho "razzin' " to be given, the end
men would give it to them. The
nkes. for the most part were sprung.
Objections to many of them flew fast
and furious from the board of cen
ors. The board thought certain
'hings were being handled altogether
'oo harshly although the jokes were
f the kind that could be sprung in
lie best of society.
Tlie board protested and protested,
lie end men said it was too late to
make any changes. The board in
irted. argued, wrangled, and then
tne cf I he female members of the
hoard, with all cf the sarcaism in
her system, advised that her com
i miens leavp the rehearsal and
f there was not a change of heart
n the part of the end men and the
management of the minstrel show,
'hi eniire matter might be referred
to thi> court on Profanity Hill or to
Prosecuting Attorney Shoup for legal
steps.
Get Legal Assistance.
Following tlie departure of the
board of censors, the end men con-'
tinned ns if nothing had happened;
but it was slated today that the in
cldent Is only a fore-runner of some-!
thing that is bound to happen. The'
end men say-they will not change a'
single joke and all will be sprung
no matter if the whole bunch is
pinched. I
The tire boys today went around!
quietly and secured promises from
every attorney in Juneau to act in
d< lease of the show, appear in court!
if legal action is taken, which sedms;
; b olutely possible. It now appears
that if the case is taken before!
Judge Reed, it will be against the'
fire boys by the United States gov
ernment.
The importance of last night's do-|
ings leaked out around Juneau dur-[
ing the day and the rush for re
served tickets was decidStlly no
ticca ole.
The playgrounds’ minstrel show |
management announces the perform-!
uncos will be given next Tuesday
and Wednesday nights notwithstand-,
ing the legal phases of the matter.
The jokes are not everything to
the big show as there are 20 vocal:
selections, ballads, quartette and!
comic songs to be put over.
