BY ARCHBISHOP EVANS, D. 6. | Greeting! Greeting! Greeting! peat ‘Fo all to whom it shall concern, to you, and to each of you, I, Justus J. Evans, D. G, do now again make known unto You, that I saw the Lord descend to the earth from heaven and He stood en the earth before me face to face and talked with me concerning the things whereof I now speak to you; and if any man tells you my testimony is not true, he is a lar, and whosoever de- nies that what I say is TRUB, they are numbered with the damned; and if they continue, they shall be turned into that lake of fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels except they speed- ily repent. ‘Hear now what I say unto you, and take heed; be not stubborn in heart, nor be slothful in mind, to remain in un- belief; hear what I tell you and live, get understanding before you perish with the wicked. Hear me! Now, listen to what it is, that I now tell you; I am informed by the Lord “that at the time 2 of the end of the reign of the abomnia- tion, which maketh desolate, which was set up in the Holy place after the daily sacrifice was taken away,” as was spoken to the Prophet Daniel (see Dan. 12:9 to 13) by the Angel of the Lord. There must be a universal REVOLU- ‘TION, and “at that same time, the pow- ers of heaven must be shaken,” as was told by our Lord unto His early disci- ples, see Matt. 24:29 and 30, “and then shall All the tribes of the earth mourn,” there shall and must be “a time of trou- ble such as never was since there was a nation,” see Dan. 12:1, 2, 8, and at that TIME shall the True Righteous be de- livered; the Rolling Stone shall smite the golden image, and all kingdoms shall fall, and a revolution take place in all the churches, and the stars of heaven shall then fall to the earth, see Matt. 24:15, 22, 28, 29 ver.; that is to say, the ministers shall take sides with the un- righteous and the day of vengeance THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. must overtake them; and in order that the True Righteous, the rne Elects may escape, a New Church must be formed by order of the Lord, under the Royal leading of Angel Michael, seo Dan. 12:1, and this Church under the leader- ship of Michael shall take over the True Bfects, and the True Righteous into it, as a rescue boat takes {rom a sinking ship the Royal guests that are aboard of that sinking vessel, provided they will heed the warning of the res- cueing Crew, called the True Zights, and leave that doomed ship for the Zife Boat. Listen now to what I say unto you: “At that time the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall,” ‘seo Isaiah 40:28, 20, 31, and only they that do obey the voice of the Lord, Angel Michael, “they shall have new strength and shall mount up with wings as eagles do. Now, why will you halt between two opinions, 10! I have told you, get understanding by me, See! A new company of Royal Righteousness must now come into power, as the Lord demands, and for this cause I have made room for Seven hundred thousand True Elects of the True Righteous to come into the Com- pany of Angel Michael; which is known as The Royal Trust Company of the Living God, and of Christ the Lamb: get into this company if you want to tide over the great Day of God's Wrath, which is now fully come upon you, 0, my people in all the world.

I know you will never regret it. My husband was a drunker than you, and the most wicked man that our Lord ever let live, until all at once, after reading so often of this woman, I took up courage and let her near from me. Upon seeing it, she said it was absibles, I have a model man in every respect. I will praise this woman as long as I have breath. She made my husband a man, a husband, a gentleman. I am yours in Christ and S. M. T., MRS. T. G. D. Oklahoma, Okla. My Dear Friends: Do you remember my own volunteer statement because this lady has caused me to be so happy. I would like so much A. to give you my name, but I hope you know why. I went with a young man two years and we spat all the time. We did not appoint me, until I consulted this wonderful lady. Now we are married, and have been for near three years. He is 50 years old, and he months ago of this advice and he would not agree with me until he lost his job, and then made up his mind, and do you know that my husband has one of the best teachers in the school. No matter what you want to or know, let her hear from you, and I vow you will never regret it, cannot help be surprised, and I don't want what she is doing, and you never hear of a thing ugly that she has done. I visited her during the K. of P. Supreme Court, and I was a Christian and a leader in a good many church clubs. We chatted a good deal of such things. I find her very entertaining. I am, a ever friend, AM, OSS, OSSI. INDIANAPOLIS AVE. INDIANAPOLIS PUBLIC HOOD.

Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair, and, with a little combing, the hair becomes straight, not just for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder with marvelous does it its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not an other preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten.

A good, sane Fourth without the death roll attachment is it. Brother Taft is now coming into his own. It's a shame he had to win his delegates twice. The Cubans may think that it is better to have rebelled and lost than not to have rebelled at all. Time has no right to be involuting, wrapping up, but expanding, sending us still greater examples of the human kind to glorify the possibilities of a great people in a great country. According to the last census, Indianapolis has 7,556 colored voters. If one should come up Indiana avenue a nice "sunshiny" day, he would think there were 75,556. Summer is well in the saddle and moving on at a satisfactory pace. Now is the time to begin for next winter. Don't get long on picnics. One outing—two at the most—ought to hold you. Mr. Roosevelt proves to be as partisan as he can possibly be. He is lking on what they are doing to him, but mum as a clam on what he did to them. We prefer to think of our Presidents as statesmen, not politicians. The preservation of this country country will depend on statesmanship and not merely politics. A majority gathered from the street corners does not equal the majority that is quietly toiling in shops and fields. A majority won by hurrah and excitement does not equal the majority won by quiet argument as to better policies. The white waiters of New York have discovered that the colored brother is useful to them at some time. They asked the colored waiters to stand by them in their strike in New York. If they had loved them all along instead of in the eleventh hour, they perhaps would have won their support. Moral: Do a little loving all along. President Taft told the colored voters what to expect in the very beginning, even before he was nominated. He was honorable and as fair as the situation warranted. If Mr. Roosevelt has more to offer, now's the time to get busy. Silence is not golden here. Men aren't given to doing more than they promise, especially politicians. The International Hotel Workers' Union opened a special bureau for enrolling the names of Negro waiters during the big strike in New York. It was insisted that their interests were the same—the white and colored waiters. Many of the colored waiters didn't see it that way. They insisted that the white union was organized mainly for the purpose of keeping the colored waiters out of first-class hotels. The Cuban Negroes have come to their inevitable—that's all. We may as well conclude that the white men are pretty much together the globe around on the Negro question. Where they are in large numbers, Negroes will be found in the back seats and will be found there until they come out on their own energy. Talking and fighting one's way will not mean much unless supported by thrift, intelligence and respectability. The dancing masters are having a time of it putting "Turkey Trot," "Bunny Hug" and "Grizzly Bear" to the bad. The International Association at Chicago this week declared against them again. Somehow, these ragtime dances seem to stick, due more to what suits the people than anything else. The dancing masters are all right in trying to put "out" the too suggestive, but they will have to be patient. The people know what they want. We will be careful not to confound the popular will as a thing wholly of numbers. As it is generally understood, numbers do stand for majority, and thus literally answering to our kind of government of majorities. It is plain enough, however, that mere numbers are not all of it. Ten careless, non-respecting citizens would outbalance eight highly self-respecting citizens, notwithstanding the government is dependent on the eight. They pay the taxes, employ the people and in all ways do what is needed to bring about a prosperous community. The mayor of Santiago, Cuba, and the members of the provincial council representing the committee of defense have handed in a protest to Gen. Jose D. J. Monteagudo, the commander of the government troops, against the arming of Negroes as guerillas. Gen- --- eral Monteagudo replied that a large proportion of the regular troops were Negroes and had hitherto proved perfectly reliable. There had not been a single case of desertion among them. This speaks very well for the Negro regulars, and because they know that the Negro race doesn't get a square deal. The voice of the primary is merely the technical voice of the electors, ruling because of a previous agreement to that effect. The actual voice and sentiment are with the real majorities, and which majorities are best understood to mean more than mere numbers. They include those individuals who possess those things which make for the substantial citizen, and on whom depends the greater things for progress in our communities. Unless this conserving force also enters in the result as an influence, the verdict is partial, not representative of that majority thought of by the founders of the government. A very few men are prepared to give advice on the Cuban situation. Rebellion is preferred to slavery, but it is not understood that the Cubans are in a state of bondage. They enjoy much more freedom than the Negroes of the States. Rebellion as a thing of protest is a pretty costly affair, and especially when nothing is gained. It may be that the spirit of rebellion as an expression of manhood adds to a people whether they are victors or victims, and we think this is the case when it is promoted by the nobility in man that refuses to see in any other man more than an equal. This has no reference to wealth, education, respectability; for they do require a different kind of respect. A home beautiful movement among the colored people is on in Nashville, Tenn. A good many more cities could stand moves of the kind, including Indianapolis. Premiums are now being awarded in Nashville for the best-bet premises. It is very much to the credit of those at the head of the movement that they are so thoughtful and interested. Poorly-kept premises are considered a sign of a colored people's community, and it is generally a true sign. This being a fact, it is up to them to make good the boast that we are no worse than others are. It is damaging enough accusation that colored people as residents bring down the price of property without it being borne out in evidence by way of ugly surroundings. Civic pride is a somewhat late development, but it seems to be on, and should be encouraged. Personal pride has been on for a long time. In fact, we have exhibited an undue share of that, and at the expense of the other. NEGRO K. OF P.'S WIN. The United States Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Negro Pythians, setting aside the decree of the Supreme Court of Georgia, which enjoined Negro men from incorporating a grand lodge in that State under the name of K. of P. Opinion of the court announced by Chief Justice White; Justice Holmes dissenting. We have felt all along that the Supreme Court would decide in favor of the Negro Knights when the circumstances were fairly put before it. We considered and appreciated the danger of using one's devices, patents and so forth. But, seemingly, in this case, the idea of the founder of the K. P. order meant to bestow a universal benefit if men chose to accept his works as such. Then, too, time had a part to play, undisturbed possession and the rest of it that tend to make good a claim. The result is most gratifying from more than one viewpoint. The Supreme Court can be trusted when the pressure is too severe. This fact is as important, if not more so, than the sweeping decision. The lodges could be as effective under another name, but confidence destroyed of the court would strike more than Pythians down. The colored people ought to feel pretty well about it. HE THINKS WE WISH TO "BELONG TO HIM." "He thinks we wish to belong to him." Someone said that Emerson said this of someone, who evidently thought that way as it concerned the people. Mr. Roosevelt thinks we wish to belong to him, and far too many are indulging him in his whim. He is demonstrating an unpleasant truth, nevertheless, and which is none too soon. He is demonstrating that the thing of hero worship is alarmingly big in man, and with but little encouragement can be carried to where his existence is threatened. It is a saving sense, all right enough, when ordinarily employed, since it means the honoring of those who give the country conspicuous service, meaning gratitude and appreciation, conserving qualities of progressive countries. Grant was an idol of the people. He was genuinely loved. He was not particularly brilliant in anything he did, but gave the impression as being solid, thorough and well balanced. In the movement for placing him in the executive chair for the third time, he manifested the same sterling qualities noted of when taking Richmond. He thought to answer the pressure brought to bear on him as a third term candidate in an affirmative way, but took no active steps in promoting it. Had he taken advantage of his opportunity as Roosevelt has, he would have brought about his nomination. This thought, of course, includes an eight-year period of training along presidential domination lines such as we have "enjoyed" under Roosevelt. Had Mr. Roosevelt been merely president during his terms, he would not have had the country worked up to the third term pitch. He has taught many of us to think that after him were the end of things—"he thinks we wish to belong to him." As a ruler in a small state, Mr. Roosevelt would be justified in using all the statecraft and politics he knows to bring about desired ends. We, with our limitations, written and understood have not anticipated the too dramatic in our political career. We have been unusually careful in selecting public servants proceeding along the theory of a principle of the prospective Republican platform suggested by Senator Root, that "the fundamental con- large were per en a hem. legro that square sideration is that public servants shall be soberly elected rather than carelessly elected and then cashiered." While this is not strictly applicable to the case in hand, yet it carried out will care for the situation, since it means selection of individuals for offices who will hold such offices as public trusts and not private snaps. honest girls, 'twas "some opening." Everything was tastefully arranged, and the large tent was filled to overflowing with the impatient patrons, eager to see the best bill that has been presented in our city for months. The only disappointment of the evening was the failure of the ever popular Miss Fannie Wise to arrive in time to take part in the opening. We hasten to performers, far and near as front rank performers, will tell "Picks," Sammy and Aaron, are the fea- other when Some me are a PRO Keegee Mr. Roosevelt uses his opportunity as if it were the unusual, playing to the "galleries," where the thing of hero worship is rampant, and where there is not much thought of enduring government, winning on its creed, profession and practices, rather than on the reputations and activities of individuals as such. The ex-President has some goodly qualities, true enough, but has absolutely nothing to his credit that entitles him to be considered great, except in his activity, and which has been more to keep him in the public mind than to serve the public. He has played ever string which has meant Roosevelt advancement through the cheap and easy route of personal admiration. A series of good fortune led him to the presidency supported by his show and tinsel—the ultra theatrical, that deludes for the moment, but which will not stand the hard and stern wear of sturdy progression. AT KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL. Commencement of the Normal Institute and the Clinton Street High School—Dr. H. P. Taylor a Candidate for Grand Medical Registrar of the State K. of P's—New Enterprise—Tallaboo Victory—Mrs. Saffell's Reception for Tallaboo a Large Social "Hit." By Hardin Tolbert, At People's Pharmacist Both Phones 666-623, 233 Frankfort (Ky. Special Frankfort (KY). Specialist. A three-course menu was served. A three-course menu was served. The closing of the Clinton Street High School marked a great epoch in its history. There never was a larger crowd than the students who attended the chapel to witness the commendable exercises. The kindergarten and intermediate classes held their exercises on the campus. A melodramma was presented by the faculty, and showed a very artistic taste in the teachers' selection of pieces. Miss Selena Mayo, director of the domestic science department, was the principal exercises were held at the Capital Theater Thursday evening. The largest crowd of colored and white people that ever assembled in the school district of graduates from the high school department were presented: Misses S. A. Taylor, K. W. Hancock, A. Hays, E. O. Hays, and S. E. James. The following were from the domestic science department: Misses F. Robinson, M. B. Smith, L. S. Harris, E. W. James, Jessi Harris, E. S. James. An in-to-date program was rendered. Superintendent H. C. McKee presented the diplomas. Dr. H. P. Smith, of Versailles, made the "hit of all ages" to the students of the college and was highly praised by both the white and colored people—people of high standing and education, who are able to fully appreciate the work of the faculty. Taylor is a graduate of the famous Medary Medical College, and is one of the main workers of the K. of P.—one who has worked hard for the program. Taylor is centered Dr. Taylor Weaver for the grand medical registrar of the State, and there is no question as to his ability to fill the position ably. The attention of the faculty is centered Dr. Taylor Weaver that every knight is loyal to the idea of Pythianism, and as a result of this loyalty, we are sure Dr Taylor will be excused for the position of State. Dr. Underwood presented Professor with a diamond ring as a token from the people for his faithful services. We are sure Dr Taylor Weaver at the Clinton Street High School. A nice program was rendered, and a four-course menu served. The U. B. F. and S. M. T. held their annual service at the Corinthian Baptist Church. Special interurban cars came from corinthian churches for number of visitors and friends was present witness the occasion. Rev. E. J. Jackson delivered an eloquent sermon. A splendid program was rendered. Mr. Luke Bucy is one of the highly respected citizens of this city and is a widower. His residence is on Washington street. He has a cozy room furnished by a plumbing he purchased for his daughter, who is now dead. He values this piece of furniture highly. Mr. Bucy is a member of the G. A. R. and, he is a perfect gentleman in every respect. For years he was employed at the State House. Mr. John Hush has launched a new enterprise on Normal Heights. It is a first-class restaurant, and Saturday was a young man who is taking the right steps. He is ably assisted by his wife. We hope to see this settlement of colored people conduct the business of the little town. The regret of many citizens is expressed at the departure of Mrs. Florence Young, a popular young woman, who will be married to Mrs. Young. Mrs. Young was highly entertained by Mrs. Wood family and Mrs. J. H. Trumble at the residence of Mrs. James Brown. Mrs. Brown's lovely home is modern throughout and is an ideal place. Mrs. Young encounters many of her friends and invites them to Harrisburg as her guests. Mrs. Lizzie Waters spent Sunday in Versailles. Mrs. George Slaughters, of Lexington, spent a few days in the city, the guest of Miss Katie Willis. Miss Dot Mac Douthitt, of Mt. Sterling, a very popular and famous young lady, who is a teacher in the public schools, was the guest of the city and attended the commencement of K. N. I. I. THESPIANISM IN LOUISVILLE, KY. (By James H. Price.) On Monday night the Walnut Street Park theater opened as per schedule and honest girls, 'twas "some opening." Everything was tastefully arranged, and the large tent was filled to overflowing with the impatient patrons, eager to see the performance, and eager to enjoy the city for months. The only disappointment of the evening was the failure of the ever popular Miss Fannie Wise to arrive time to take part in the opener. When Wise arrived, as front rank performers, with their "Picks", Sammy and Aaron, are the feature act, and are undoubtedly "bottled in" for the show. The cavort nimbly about the stage as of vore, displaying gorgeous gowns and dainty lingerie. Miss Essie starring with the best actress, is the only one if such they must be called, but this term reminds us of plantation work, and these accomplished lads have long since graduated from college, and the best minor act in the business, entertain immensely with singing and dancing, and hold their own at all times. Aaron, straight, is especially fitting, articulation, and poise. The only exception is the excellence. His "Ever Loving Blue-Eyed Sue" is the class. Manager Clark is to be commended for his splendid opener, and next week, Muriel Ringgold, Ram Smith, and Whitman Sisters and Picks. The Ruby Theater The Ruby theater hands us a very classy bill, and the theater bugs are responding accordingly. Brown and Williams, of Williams and Walker, and Smart and their artistic make-up and cultivated voices at once stamp them as "having 'em." "What Makes Life Worth While," original by Mr. Williams, gets 'em Closer, the closing song, "is the King." The king is a pleasing diversion. Brown and Crosby, late with "My Friend From Dixie," have a neat turn and the audiences seem very much interested. The voice is very daly, and while she doesn't possess a strong voice, 'tis of sufficient volume to enable her to successfully do her song. Brown, very neat and clever, scores monologue specialist, completes the bill, and gets by nicely with his eccentricities. The Critic Insulted. Wi'hin the last six or seven months, and all during the winter time when we are in the office, the theater has provided the preter of the Olio theater has provided the theater going public with inferior acts for the most part, refusing to pay for legitimate acts. Some of these acts were criticized by the public, and criticize same harshly on several occasions. Mr. Hogan has taken exception to, and says that he has been malicious and boastful about the occasion, stands matters, a newspaper is a public servant, elected to kick when the public is treated unfairly and without consideration, and boasts that the occasion others handle same. Mr. Hogan has an owner manager need be afraid of good, clean acts, but the writer of this article will at all times seriously condemn an act that he considers to be unfair to America. No fair minded manager will object to just criticism, not only that but will do their utmost to assist in the support of all good, clean, legitimate acts. THE UNION THEATER, INDIANAPOLIS—A BILL OF GOOD ATTRACTIONS. WHITE AND WHITE. Song Hit, "I Want All That I Gave You," by Lillie White. White and White, Charlie and Lillie are putting on some laughable stuff; especially where Charlie is compelled to disrobe at the point of a gun in Lillies hand and you are not sure what to You." He comes off with the duds, but he is in his contortionist outfit at the wind up ready for his "death defying feats." A contortionist he is positively the only individual that can dislocate his neck and keep right on living. He throws his two hands behind his head at the neck and slowly lifts his hands back falls on two hands just as if he were to do a back hand spring, resting on his hands, however while his head swings backward and forward. In Greenwood, S. C., not long since he was disturbed by a boisterous crowd while doing this feat. He holds that if his head and neck are in plumb with the neck bent, he is now moved him while his neck and head were out of gear. He twisted them to one side, and, of course, they did not go to their usual place, doomed to remain required to be in shape. This work is alarming all through most wonderful. The team work is clever. Charlie shows him a comedian and pleasing style. Miss White is the vim, sings well and holds her own in the sound. We were at the Olie Theater, Louisville. GREER AND GREER. Featuring "All Night Long"—Marie Greer. This team puts on a good quality of singing, talking and dancing. The male member of the team is Miss Greer, who knows how to put the talk to him. His eccentric dancing is amusing and gets him in good style. It is his own composition. Miss Greer is an earnest, pleasing worker. Her Spot-light song, "All Night," is a song that takes air that is well sung and with a musical voice. "The Flagman," by the male member, is well received. He is assisted by the stage lighted up and going along. The house enjoyed this immensely. The team works in a considerable experience stage, having been with some of the larger aggregations, such as Black Patti's. They are well received. Song Hit, "Please Don't Take My Baby, Grand." Miss Bumray is a hold-over from last week, one of the Victoria Four. She proved a jewel of the bunch, punching Please Don't Take by Baby Grand. She has been singing voice and manners won for her at once. This week she adds "Oceana Roll," which with her stage setting for four songs, makes a single number. She makes this song about Pliano Joe fairly descriptive, telling "them" to take all he has, the clothes on the rack and those on his back, the dog and those so they leave his piano his baby grand. Miss Bumbray has made a place for others and is a favorite in less than two weeks. She is a splendid looker and wears good clothes. She is received nicely by the girls. EMMET ANTHONY Comedian—Can Make Good on Any Bill. If comedians were marked bad, indifferent, good, excellent, Emmet Anthony would be set down in the excellent class. He is a young man who is droll by nature; he carries this further in his stage work, but he is not a comedian. And then he has no waste expression; that is, he is all hits. If he should happen to tell an old "gag," he takes his time; dresses it up like a comedian and it comes out in a taking style. However, he is original, and does not need to imitate anybody. He belongs to those few who set the pace, such as Bert Wilhelm. His singing is just as unique, interesting and taking. "Who's Who and What's What" is cleverly done and gets him the hands. Anthony will answer on any bill. HAPPY LOCKHART. Featureting, "The Houn' Dawg" Song, Lockhart makes a happy hit in the well known "Houn Dog" song. Got a a quiet kickin' dog that puts it on in that quiet "Innocence Abroad" way that is amusing. He has also an interesting line of talks with a good style. His gang is of the eccentric kind. He gets his share of the applause. DRACO'S DOGS. smaller, smaller, smaller bigger, bigger, bigger sitting, sitting, sitting seeping.

She is also threatened with tuberculosis. She clever soubrette and character woman had to cancer and engagement at the hospital in Chicago with Eileen last night. She hopes to take her next engagement in Philadephia soon. It is strange that there are no nice little dramatic stunts and comedies seen on our stage such as seen in all vaudeville shows. Take Keith's house in Indianapolis, the bill never consist of whistling and dancing, as most of colored houses. It must be the audiences are not prepared for the little fifteen performers can't get the stuff over right; morals, little comedies that tell something and amuse in the audience. Get me, pretence. Some say the little dramas won't take, or that the little comedies of the higher order won't. When the Whitman Stallion were in Indianapolis they didn't. The little comedy for a close friend went big. This was fine bed, and yet they could have done something much better along the line, for it is in them. Others can do better and perhaps do better than reach this three to four people. The stage carpenters and so forth will swel lest the numbers. Elaborate setting list is all they need. Perhaps a drama would be required, drop.

THE NEW CROWN GARDEN String-Beans a Hit, as Well as Thornton and Long. Monday night the Crown Garden offered to its patrons four big acts, and each act proved to be a hit. The Crown's shows are, as a rule, always good. Even now, during this hot weather, the Crown is centilated, which makes it a very pleasant place for one to spend an evening in witnessing an entertainment. Manager Tim is always busy in his wizard way of handling the show situation; in bringing to light something new in the show-going public wishes to see. The Original String Beans. Known to us generally as May and May, was, as usual, a riot. Mr. May is becoming more of a egregious comedian than the usual day of love. Mr. May looks the same as when we last saw her—young and pretty. Their act is a singing and talking one, but good, good music. They are the usual songs, all of which are hits“Ball the Jack Rage,”“All Night Long” and others. Mr. May also presides at the annual drawing card. Some act and some drawing card. Thornton and Long. Two men who know how and do deliver the goods. The comedian of this team, Mr. Thornton, is very clever, using some good songs, his best hit being "Bring Back My Loving Man." Mr. Long as a straight man is, indeed, very clever. Between he and me and everyone there are very nice situations brought to light. Mr. Long's big son hit is. "You've Got Me Hypnotized." The audience began to laugh from the audience, and the audience finished the finish. In a song number; namely, "You Can't Expect Kisses From Me," with telephone effect, many laughs were Chas. Gilpin Is one more clever colored actor. As an a character comedian Mr. Gilpin pleased the Crown audience in every respect. Variety is what the show-going audience sees, and Mr. Gilpin's part of the entertainment gave the Crown bill that touch. Gardner and Graham are both clever performers. The act offered by this clever pair was pleasing. The act offered by the audience. What more can be asked for. Miss Graham is a dainty little sou THE WEDDING OF THE MARRIED COPPER AND SILVER COPPER GARDNER AND GRAHAM. brette, who dances and sings well. The boyman song and dance number offered by Mr. Gardner was a knockout. This team won their way into the hearts of the audience. Gardner and Graham are good. The Crown orchestra still hands out good music. Prof. W. A. Kelly knows how. I see where Miss Ada Banks Davis in planoiage, will headline at the Crown performance, good shows are welcome to see and Tim E. Owsley says we shall have them. By K. C. E. LOUISVILLE CUBS DEFEAT EV.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW UMBRIAN GLEE CLUB CON- CERT AT QUINN CHAPEL Madam Anita Patti Brown Charms -Her Hearers in Scene "from the Lakme" Chicago has long been known for its notable June concerts, which take the place of weddings, and in this particular season, the Michigan float heavier upon the air than in any other city, the most wonderful of musical events can safely be ventured upon without any fear or terror of the church season. Limiting the number of Church events, occasion of June 5 again presented a large audience to honor the Umbrian Glee Club with its new edition of mandolin and guitar numbers. But the artistic and social event of the month is Madam Anita Patti Brown, a woman who possesses the most remarkable coloratura voice of any singer of her race. The artistic singer must make it plain that we are working in the regions of the higher art and education, which appeals only to those who are intelligent enough to understand. We were not only the first to some of the illiterate singers and dancers get angry and kick up because they do not understand, but we were seated in a temple where concerted actors with the ability of ability and learning would be barred. The Umbria Glee Club was with us again in better form than we have heard in the past. We have the energy of their new director, Pedro T. Tinsley, "Legend of the Rhine" was given in a spirted manner. "The Glee Club" and "Tar's Farewell" met with immediate favor on its popularity, it being well sung. The mandolin and guitar club made its first appearance and like babies in the cradle, found encouragement, for their reading was very good, while their weariness of the guitar played by Livelier music would have been best, for the guitars dragged woefully, but withal, their really acceptable appearance served as a good preparatory school Robert M. Shelby's mandolin soles were quite a surprise in symphonic harmony, and marvelous in a way, especially the prison music from "I Trovatore," which only a lack in time to its difficult fingering, is perfect. Mrs. L. B. Smith accompanied the madam nicely and recited. T. Theodore had carefully and cordially Jordan played for the glee club. A Good Comedy Bill at the New Grand We were enthused by good comedy fitters and artificial hypnotism at the New Grand Hotel, the Rogers and Wiley, one of the brightest colored teams in vaudelle, were a popular return card. Stella Wiley is as chick as ever, and the Rogers in beak-biting brought forth the heartiest encores on the bill. Gerard and Gardner was the best white act. Eddie Girard, who is a known actress, and Rogers over with fun, especially in a hypnotic spell when Miss Gardner, who is a good singer, had thrown a spell upon Adler. Adler was a comedian hypnotism introduced the man as a mimic, and some of his imitations were natural and great. Morrissey and I was in a singing and dancing old some good gags. One fellow had nerve and the other was clever enough to have branched out. The Four Nelson Comeques were simply immense. The last half of last week had "A Night in a Monkey Music Hall," which was simply great. The band was simply great. Lowell and Esther Drew in "At the Drug Store" were clever. "Esmerela," an xylophonist, easily made good, and Johnny Fogarty might give us another call and bring his leading lady. Lively Colored Acts Fill the Mono- gram. There was much merriment in the bill which filled the Monogram on last Monday evening's 8 o'clock performance. Siblings and below them, the line, made their dangerous bow to the Windy City. If I am to speak of the comedian as a fun-maker, should say that he is good expressionist. The lad is too lovely and equal to the demands of her work. Their act was well framed, and their dialogue was very good, except a few expressionist performance. All their songs were good, including "Lingering Love," a duet which made a hit. Green, Pugh and Green evaporated in the mono solo sketch of the kind created quite as much good fun as they did on their former visit. Earl Walker and Miss Taylor, a new Walker, whose work and style is well known, had to labor throughout the dialogue and songs besides his dancing. Hattie Garland, a singing soubret with a song, gave good satisfaction and will be able to return again if she can bring some new songs of the same order and dresses well.
