In the choir, were Ada Overton, Grace Halliday and others, Harry T. Burleigh led the orchestra and George Walker introduced the song, "Hottest Coon in Dixie." The following season "The Policy Players" by Jesse A. Shipp, was produced. This was followed by "Sons of Ham," by Jesse A. Shipp, who had then joined the company, Mr. Williams appearing as Tobias Warmwood and Mr. Walker as Harty Laughter. The comedians were at that time married and their wives, Aida Overton Walker and Lotte Williams, were in the cast. The dancer gave Harty and Seaman the management of the company. "In Dahomey" was the next comedy produced, and the third under their management, which took over to company for two seasons, the company appearing before King Edward VII of England, where Mr. Walker introduced "On Broadway in Dahomey." This event was not only cabled throughout the civilized world but the New York newspapers pictured the company on full page sheets, and when the company returned to America they made a successful run on Broadway. The next production was "Abyssinia," by Jesse A. Shipp, the greatest Negro comedy that has ever been produced to this date. The original production which cost $30,000 and any white production. Unfortunately Harry and Seamon had retired from their management and a law suit was pending, and to add to the depression of Mr. Walker's energy, their new manager lacked integrity and was hostile to the proportions of the organization as a whole and caused the comedy to be chopped up in such a way that it had to take the road in a condensed form, much to the dissatisfaction of Mr. Walker, who ordered the season closed early. The following summer Mr. Walker had been made an offer of $1,000 a week to appear at Hamerstein's in New York, but stood out for $2,000 for the team and got it, "Bandiana Land," the next and last play in which Williams & Walker ever starred together, was in the height of its second season. It was during their winter engagement at Chicago in February, 1909, that Mr. Walker's mind began to relax and later, when the show was appearing at Louisville, Ky., Mr. Walker broke completely down and newspaper reporters who had observed his condition declared through the Associated press that would never be able to appear on the stage again. He was taken to his New York home, but the company moved the road for the remainder of the season with the team playing his role. From New York Mr. Walker was taken to a sanitary at the home of his mother, which he had built for her at Lawrence, Kansas. Growing restless, but harmless, and as his case was hopeless, he was taken back east by his friend and private secretary in the sanitary at Islip, Long Island, where he grew worse and died of the fatal paresis. Among performers who appeared in the most prominent productions of Williams and Walker were Jesse A. Shipp, Alex Rogers, James Lightfoot, George Hammond, J. Lub里利 Hill, Richard Conner, L. H. Soulsbury, Green Henry Taplier, Theodore Pankey, Lloyd G. Gibbs, Henry Troy, George Catlin, Hattie McIntosh, Ella Anderson, Anna Cook, Rosa Lee Tyler, Alice Mackey, Anita Wilkins, Madah Hyer, Magle Davis, and Abbie Mitchell. The funeral of Mr. Walker which took place in New York on Monday, January 9th, in which his wife Alda Overton Walker and his partner Bert A. Williams were present, was private. The body which was immediately forwarded to Lawrence, Kansas, arrived in Chicago on Wednesday, January 11, at 4:30 p.m. accompanied by Mrs. Alice Meyers, Mr. Walker's mother, who was joined by his bosom friend and former private secretary Mr. Green Henry Taplier who went with the funeral party to Lawrence, and Mrs. Jesse A. Shipp and a large cortege of theatrical people and friends were at the CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1911. A NECESSITY Y.M.C.A. GEE! IF MY PEOPLE COULD ONLY BUY THIS.

To add to the large collection of floral offerings which came from New York and other places was a Laurel wreath of the "Frogs" tied with gold and green; a sheaf of wheat decorated with white incarnations from Dr. George C. Hall, William D. Neighbors, Frank L. Gale and other members of the Chicago branch of the National Negro Business Men's League of which Mr. Walker was a New York member, and a plain large green-wreath imbedded with bouquet violets sent by Manager Robert T. Motts and Sam Corker, Jr., acting manager of Motts Pekin Theatre, and Managers Martin Klein, of the Monogram and "Duke" Brennon, of the Grand Theatres in behalf of the Colored actors of Chicago. The card read: "To the people of Lawrence, Kansas, From the Colored Actors of Chicago," "In Memory of George W. Walker, of Williams and Walker"—including a poet inscription "See That His Grave's Kept Green," by Sylvester Rusell, the poem to be read at services and the wreath to be placed on Mr. Walker's grave by Green Henry Tapley. "See That His Grave's Kept Green." See that his grave's kept green!— As to the west we turn, and sigh; We chant farewell, though silently— And how with tear dimd' eye. See that his grave's kept green! Rejoice! Be glad; and do not weep; Pray that the winds breath soft and still— That he in peace may sleep. See that his grave's kept green!— As he retires from the show, George Walker, genius of his day— And "Nash" of long ago. See that his grave's kept green!— For there! His soul looks from the sky: The fairest angel ever seen— Now bids the world goodbye. SYLVESTER RUSSELL. A large bed of flowers, through Mr. Shipp and the Pekin stock company, most of all whom were members of the Williams and Walker company, was ordered to be made at Lawrence Kansas, and sent to the funeral. Out of respect for Jesse A. Shipp, the casket, which was of purple plush, was opened at the Polk street depot. Those who viewed the body Mr. and Mrs. Jesse A. Shipp, Mr. and Mrs. William S. Elkins, Mr. and Mrs. Sam H. M. Davis, Mrs. Hattie McIntosh, Sylvester Russell, Jerry Mills, Charles Glinp, George Williams, Leon Motts, S. M. Taylor, of Omaha, Neb. Chas.

Orator of the Evening. The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Hon. Charles Sumner, author of the Civil rights bill and formerly United States Senator from Massachusetts who spent his life as an advocate in behalf of the Negro slave took place at Ebenezer Baptist church Friday evening, January 6th, 1911. The orator of the occasion was Prof. Richard T. Greener, formerly United States Consul to Russia. The church was well filled with a highly intelligent audience, by observation. The meeting was presided over by John G. Jones, the wellknown Attorney, when as master, of ceremonies first introduced Rev. Thomas, pastor of the church, whose intelligence led him to speak in short and in eulogy of the chief speaker. After the choir had sang, Counselor Jones in introducing Prof. Greener spoke of him as the first Colored graduate of Harvard University, Secretary of the Grant Monument Fund, ex-Consul to Russia, under President McKinley and the most learned man the Negro race has produced. When Prof. Greener took the platform as a deafening applause and waving of handkerchiefs, to which he acknowledged with modesty. Then with an unassuming air of polish and dignity, he began his lecture by stating in reference to Thomas and Counselor Jones, that he did not come to count. He inferred that he had come to represent one of the greatest human characters in our history. He reminded us that we know but very little about our own race and added how strange it is that what the white people know about the Negro is also small in quantity. Charles Sumner is also small in quantity and tall and slender, noble looking and of dignity of alkind which indicated and proved that he was born 16 conquer. He was the grandest assertor of human rights, he said, who ever lived. Here he brought out the fact that when men who think they know what they do not understand, they stand up before the skillful, they are conquered. He spoke of how John Quincy Adams contended against slavery. In referring to Abraham Lincoln he said that Lincoln's father was shiftless and his mother's life was somewhat obscure as she had even boasted of the African blood which flowed through her veins, and which is so commonly infected among the white people, of the South. Returning to Sumner whom he landed and extolled as the finest product of human character and such a classical scholar that for learning his ability was supremely recognized, he said, was the correct conclusion of Chief Justice Story. He also made it plain that Sumner saw something more important to be fought, than to be lawyer; he had an idea; he was devoted to the cause of the Negro, in one idea of liberty equality and fraternity. Here Prof. Greener briefly related the fall of Chrispus attacks, the great Colored patriot, and told of another instance of how Texas was stolen from Mexico by the Americans in illustration of American misrepresentation. In speaking of Peace offerings in which the Emperor of Russia had advocated and Andrew Cox had appropriated ten millions was but the original dee Summer years ago, reiter speaker then told of an i Summer's college life, how, had made his speech, Hoi Quincy Adams greeted hi hailed him as a great coming sor; and Senator Hoar who wa a senior at Harvard, went direc. Brown University and Amherstlege and preached against slaver responding in many direction every time he was elected Ser 1848 John R. Giddings and John Quincy Adams (who on retiring from the Presidency had entered the Senate to aid the slaves and to help his devoted friend Sumner), were insulted on the floor, their petitions were rejected and knives were drew, in the contention. In speaking of William Llyod Garrison, Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner, Prof. Greener said that their very work was the prophecy of God and that such men who are fearless and truthful were generally winners. But the Americans, he told us, who spoke of themselves as blue-bloods were nothing but heirs to foreigners of low degree, refugees and prototypes. The Professor said that William Llyod Garrisons, grand son, with whom he is acquainted, did not know the history of his grandfather, he said the boy has it and had never read it until he had reminded him that Garrison had been in bad circumstances in the South and had been aided by Colored people. The grandson is now busy on a book in which he hopes to be of some help to the Colored people. Other things proceeding in Mr. Greener's discourse are that Tom Payne wrote to men in authority at certain necessary periods to make things as comfortable as possible for the Colored people. He criticised the Wig party for turning any way profitable to themselves and then said: "Few of the Republican office holders of today would have emancipated the Negro if they had had a chance. In speaking of how John Brown had led the fight which saved the State of Kansas was cited as proof of the loyalty, of the abolitionists of those days. Charles Sumner who was a man best fitted by temperament to be a leader was also of the same type. When Mr. Greener was in Russia he used to watch the habits of the former slaves, they had not had much education and they moped in a spirit of subjection wherein this country they are enjoying better privileges than the Negro: and he told how the Russian Jews come among the Negro and successful physicians in the town left his home via the M., K. & T. railway for McAlester, Okla. The doctor had purchased a railroad ticket and also a Pullman ticket to his place of destination, and his trip was pleasant and uneventful until he reached the town of Vinita, Akla. At this point he was informed by four big burly deputy sheriffs that he was under arrest and forcibly taken from the train and carried up town to be incarcerated in jail. The county judge refused to assume jurisdiction and the four officers then conducted their prisoner to a two by four justice of the peace. Here it was discovered the doctor had been arrested without a warrant and there was none of the train crew present to make a complaint, but a little thing like that made no difference to "hizzoner" and a fine of a dollar and costs was assessed against the prisoner and he was notified it was pay up or go to jail, and the whole amount was $15. outraged by a set of ig prejudiced devils who h to the fair state of Oklahoma.

To analyze hold-up's in all their different phases, confined only to the dark ignorant gloomy west, like lynching, is confined to the brights ignorant South and we find that, like lynching, it will soon spread its wings if not speedily checked at once. Where lynching is not justifiable, the only true way to dispose of hold up people is to be prepared to kill them at once before they kill you, especially in a city that is only half protected. The death of George W. Walker, of Williams and Walker brings to an end the 17 years of hearty enjoyment the public received from the greatest Negro team of actors who ever lived and the most popular pair of comedy stars America has ever produced. They were the two originals of their time. Best A. Williams, now travelling with a white company, has no doubt labored under a great burden of sorrow since the day his partner was declared hopelessly insane and that death at Brooklyn. N.

A CORRECTION In my story of the Charity Ball, published in last Saturday's issue of the Chicago Defender, these mistakes were inadvertently made: "Birds" should have read "Buds," while "elaborations" in the next paragraph should have been "elaborateness." Prof. Berry is too well known to need a correction in his name, but the "Prof. Barry" published meant the peerless leader of "the Eighth." WAYMAN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. 912 N.

Not only in the South, but some of that low class are finding their way up into North. No longer than last summer two ministers of the gospel on the (?) of the city came over on the South Side to attend a convention and tried to induce a lady on Wabash avenue to rent them rooms for immoral purposes and were refused; and it is this class of men in Savannah, Ga., that are preaching daily to sunners to go to Christ and get ready for heaven and other junk, and at the same time throwing away their political opportunity for a dollar. The Negroes of the city of Savannah he only ones in the entire state who are allowed to vote, and it seems that the leaders of the race would protect that men with life, and when that class of skunks come into their midst, they would kick him out or run them back to Atlanta can and Augusta, Ga., where the Negro men allow whit' men to ruin their daughters and sweethearts without uttering a pr esf. We are glad the Savannah Tribune has hurled this good at that white folks class of Negro teachers, and we hope the day is not far when a man cannot lay upon a tale of cotton and see in a vision the words, G. P. Christ; and start out to preach, but one and every one will represent some college and not some bale of cotton. The following is the editorial: "When it is generally known that the number of registered voters among the Negro clergymen of this city is practically n nil there will probably be a little astonishment. The proportion of them that can exercise the right of suffrage is so small that it is a shame to make it known. Out of about a hundred of them who more of less every Sunday give out wise counsel to our people in and around Savannah, but six of them can take part in the coming election. Of course there is a very small fraction of this large number of ineligibles who are property owners in other cities and therefore prefer to be politically associated elsewhere, but this percentage is so small that it might as well be lost sight of. The fact stands out prominently that our ministers as a whole have been too neglectful of their political obligations and as a consequence they have been denied the priceless privilege of voting, which every dutiful citizen should have. There is no class of men who exert the amount of influence which these men have over our people, and if they, as a whole, are careless, negligent and unmindful of their political affairs and rights as citizens, how can they expect those whom they lead to exercise any care about the rights of franchise? It is the minister's duty, in fact more so his than that of any ordinary individual, for he is supposed to have a deeper insight into life, thereby enabling him to better distinguish be- SA ACC REAL EST MAN MOR LO.

Church Wednesday afternoon, January 11, in charge of the tabernacle. Mrs. Nash was a good Christian woman and a member of the Second Baptist Church, who was beloved by all who knew her best. The pastor, Rev. C. G. Chimm, conducted the services assisted by Rev. J. H. Allen. Interment in Northern Peace. Be he to her ashes. She leaves a daughter, grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. McLinda Lindsay has opened up a first-class restaurant on South Ninth street, and invites all her friends to call in and see her when wanting anything in her line of business. She has plenty of good things to eat. Call in and see her. The Government newspapers will be on sale February 1, 1911. Washington, D. C., Herald, 25c a month or $2.00 a year. See J. H. Arnold, Government news dealer, Box 247, Lexington, Mo. Sunday night some of our young people acted very bad in church, laughing and talking while the pastor was preaching. Some of our young people act like heathens. They have no respect for the house of God or themselves either. It is a shame and disgrace the way some of the young women act in the house of God, and it is not stopped at once. The next time it happens the names will be published—By the Factor. Notice—The Chicago Defender will not be sold on credit. You must pay cash or you get no papers, 25c a month. 5e a copy, or $1.50 a year. J. H. Arnold, agent. Mayview News By Miss Frances Bradford.

Hockley Smiley. ne Caterer of today differs greatly to the man who called ‘himself a ca- terer say fifteen years ago, At thal Period in the Eastern cities in par ticular a walter who was fortunate enough to be hired to serve a parts or two, generally went home with the price of the “Job” In nls pocket and iis head full of ideas. ‘The next day his neighbors would be surprised to see a sign of the Japanned tin vari ety nailed upon his windows or door reading: . GEORGE JONES, Caterer. The adorning of the front of the house with this ofttimes misused term has, in many cases, stimulated dom mant ability and he successful mas ters,of the art of @ latter day owe their beginning to this small sign. ‘The pioneers in the catering bust ness’ in Philadelphia, Baltimore anc Washington met thelr greatest oppo sition from the rank and file of the men whom they employed, Ths wait ers and cooks that Martin Cowary Joshua B. Matthews and A. F. (Com modore) | Stevens of Philadelphia Hughes and Harris of Baltimore and the Wormley's of Washington em ployed, considered a moth or two suf ficleat to enable them to tell the pub. lic by sign and card that they, too, were full fledged masters of’ the work, i Nor was it a difficult thing to do ‘The waiter with Influence enough or the hustle to get work could satisfac torily serve a wedding or party. As a rule, the embroy caterer made i his business to purchase a pair of five or sixdight candlebras (includ ing the green bags to cover them) and he was ready for business. China linen and silverware could ve rented from several large firms who would deliver and call for same, Even the menu could be furnished in the same way, Taking the Quaker City as an example, this was the rule. ‘The ero: quettes and fried oysters would come from “Augustines,” the ice cream and other sweets from Dexter's -or Sla ter’s, and the Terrapin from Tevis ‘The help was easy to get, and thus the affair was complete. ‘The chicken salad alono Was prepared at home, for no cateter allowed this important dish to be prepared by other hands than his own, The style then was to eut and season the chicken and pack it in a vessel by itself. The mayon: aise dressing was prepared and pack ed in another vessel. These two ves sels, together with the large pans to mix’ them fn, formed the bulk of the load from the eaterer’s home (unless the two candlebras could be mention. ed); but, as a rule, the caterer and his ‘wife carried them in their arms. Time, however, has changed _ this style. The up to date caterer of to day must be able to handle every de. tail of the business. First, he must be able to furnish a menu sultable to the palate of every nation that on- tertains; second. he must be able to display ‘a varied and costly assort ment of linens, china, silverware, glassware and decorations. His stock must Include everything’ necessary for the largest dance or reception, and the ever-changing service for formal dinners and luncheons, From the canopy at the front door to the racks for wraps in the dressing rooms he must be able to draw upon his own stock, “Above all he must be a stu- dent ‘of the business, well versed in color schemes, aad ‘In the arrange- ment of flowers, This is an idea of the eastern caterer of today.

So many things have happened during the past and present week it will no doubt be a refreshing treat to read of what Mr. Jesse Shipp had in store for us at the Pekin this week. It will do well to say in brief that the actors appearing in the cast of the plays now being presented weekly at Motts' Theatre are all talented artists of experience, and what they need is more encouragement by applause from the intelligent people whenever art appears before them, and it remains for the educated as well, to build art up to a higher standard of humor so that we may continue to laugh at Mr. Shipp's great ability in presenting one continuous round of highly refreshing and legitimate fun. Shelton Brooks, the clever young comedian who follows after the star of Cliff of Bert A. Williams, danced wonderfully well and quite got away from himself in presenting the character of a porter. His song was everything to the production, and a great winner to the proceeds at the box office. Allie Gillman, a new edition, a tramp edition of course and very entertaining also, added to the splendid work of two good actors, Charles Glipin and Jerry Mills, and an over-land ticket agent, well enacted by Billy Johnson. Fanny Wise trilled in "Sing, Sweet Bird," as only she can. The Inn Keeper, Mrs. McIntosh, prepossessing in art, and the lunch counter girl, Lottie Grady, who looked pretty and sang as well, and Ada Banks, whose tremolo is false, but whose voice will do, and a quartet which, composed of Lloyd G. Gibbs, Clarence Tinsdale, William C. Elkins and W. D. Coleman, completed a bill that cannot well be surpassed. Wilson & Cumby Fill the Monogram. It was nothing unusual to see Wilson and Cumby fill the Monogram. They could fill any theatre if they only had a comedy in which to star and theatres to play in like Williams and Walker had, so great is the results of their work which space prevents being commented upon. The two Samoan Girls, La Belle Glenn soprano; and Helen Goodman, contralto, was the best applauded singing act that has played this house. Helen Goodman, as an Indian Squaw, is a real artist, and Miss Glenn's singing, as usual, was of a very high order. The scenic effects in the Red Moon, which changes its color, was novel and their duet was commendable. Ora Criswell, a singing soubret, was magnetically entrancing. Trudell and Fuller gave pleasure in a return date. Simma and Thompson at the Grand. Joe Simms and Walker Thompson, in another new sketch, shows how easy a team of original and progres- ive actors can keep in work. These fair actors are presenting real legit- imate comedy and of a kind, and the only kind, that will advance Colored actors of the future. They have splendid singing voices and Simma's dancing is clever. Thompson's new character sketch work was quite a surprise and the team was loudly applauded. Pauline Dempsey, in a new specialty, was generously received and can be numbered with the progres- ives. The Misses Mitchell and Brady, in a fetching act, prospered. Miss Mitchell's improvement made up for what Miss Brady lost in an opening song, a little mite suggestive for an actress who is sweet and pretty. Madge Clinton and her picks, held over from last week, scored heavily. Mrs. Dorsey, leader of Ebenezer Church choir, who sang Rose of Heaven at Prof. Greener's lecture, was highly pleasing. Alonzo A. Govern, a young lyric writer of the Howard Theatre, Washington, D. C., has arrived in the city to become active in the show business. Napoleon Johnson of the Ten Dark Nights' Company, a brother to George Bailey, is ill at St. Luke's Hospital, having underwent a successful operation. W. Roger Jones, a tenor singer and lyric writer and formerly a student of Tuskegee Institute, has entered the Centralizing School of Music in the Fine Arts Building for a ten weeks' special course in vocal training. The Umbrían Glee Club will appear at Bethel A. M. E. Church on Tuesday evening, Jan. 17th. Madame Anita Pattin Brown will be the bright particular star of the evening; and her only appearance this winter. There has been local changes with the musicians of late; they have been moving around like squirrels. Prof. Burch is now pianist of the Pekin Orchestra; Prof. W. C. Sweatman the tenor expert, is at the Monogram; of. William Dorssey, pianist and naged, is still at the same house; orge Reeves, the thrifty trap drum, has moved from the Pekin to complete the Monogram make-up of ree good lookers.

Jack Gleason of San Francisco, who with Tex Rickard promoted the Johnson-Jeffries fight, is planning to match the colored heavyweight and Al Kaufman in a twenty, round battle in England during coronation week in June. The coronation is set for June 22. $60,000 is the amount Jack offers for the fight and he believes he can get Jeff's conqueror to accept. Gleason has been in the city for several days, but his mission was not learned until today, when a local theatrical man who is said to be a partner in the move made known the above. Gleason and his partner yesterday stated that Johnson had agreed to meet Kaufman for the $50,000 purse, but he was holding out for $45,000 for his end. Of course Kaufman would be unwilling to fight for $5,000, but the promoters think the two big fellows will be able to agree on the division of the spoils. Jack Gleason already has an option on the Stadium in London for one day during the week. The building will accommodate 28,000 people. HOTEL NEWS All Up-to-Date Hotel News and News of Bell-Hops. By S. Adams. A grand furniture season is now progressing in Grand Rapids, Mich. At which city twice during the year (Jan. 1st to Feb. 1st inclusive, and July 1st to Aug. 1st inclusive) is held this very excellent exhibition. Hotel Paulintl and cafe of which there is no better known or more beautiful in the state, is the headquarters of the furniture dealers. An extra crew of men was secured from Detroit, Mich., and Chicago to assist the regular waiter during the seasons. J. J. Davis, a popular young man of the south side, opened the Bradley Grill Room on Thanksgiving evening with a crew of seven men. Since then business has increased to such an extent that a larger number of men are now employed, fifteen in all. Mr. Davis is one of our most promising young head waiters and is very anxious that business will enable him to increase his crew to double its size. The Defender wishes for Mr. Davis all good things as he is more than deserving. Morpheus, the God of sleep was almost the cause of death (?) by asphyxiation of one of our popular hotel men, R. P. King. A few nights ago, upon arriving home from work, Mr. King detected a faint odor of gas, but not thinking it anything serious, the gentleman retired and remember he is some sleeper, and was soon lost in dreamland. A difficulty in breathing awakened Mr. King who immediately realized his imminent danger. By a strenuous effort he managed to open the window, this was about 6:30 a. m. and that was a little late for King to be getting up, but he made the boys understand that he was not seriously hurt. Oh! you gas! Again we hear from the glorious west! Chester Stamps another of our boys, has but recently returned from a trip to Portland, Ore. Mr. Stamps reports everything O. K. and says, "if the young hotel man wants to make money and will stand for a quiet life, he can over get the cash out west, the trouble is, if the men have seen the sunny side of State street, in old Chi, they can't get the airships out of their heads, but if you decide to go west just look up at the airships and say, "Fare thee." I'm on my way, "then the gold will be yours." Miss Gussie Blye of Higginshville, spent a few days in our city among friends last week. OLASSIFIED COLUMN. FURNISHED ROOMS. For Rent.
