Duncan, of Seattle, Wash., and Mr. Nell Johnson, of New York City, were in the city this week and paid a visit to Mr. Harry Russell, with Mr. James Lewis, are a route to the coast for the winter. Monday evening the distinguished guests were driven to the Pekin Theater in M. Russell Park, where the right and enjoyed the play immensely. After the show they were driven to the Elmwood Cafe and entertained by the famous Elmwood orchestra.
Ten-Course Dinner Served.
Mr. Russell, who is one of the best consoisseurs on serving dinners, arranged a ten-course dinner. The table was set in the dining room, with two large tables and the orchestra. Two very polite and courteous waiters were pressed into service. Those at the table were: Mr. B. Bowman, New York City; Mr. A. B. Duncan, New York City; Mr. A. Nobile蔡希, Harry Russell, and Twenty others were present. Champagne flowed freely. Immediately after the dinner was oratory. All during the service the gentleman was introduced, and the international fans was played as the guests marched into the dining room, and Mr. Olive Powers, that phenomena term, was enveloped by singing "Oh, What a Time." All joined in the chorus, and the name, a beautiful dancer and singer, and the one of the best in Chicago, very charmingly entertained, as did Miss Octavia Walker, a delightful soubrette. Mr. Bowman and the gentlemen began to smoke and orate. It was surprising to hear Mr. Bowman, formerly of the best, Mr. Bowman, being an old friend of the visitors, delivered the welcoming speech. He said, "Gentlemen, I welcome you to the dining room. We have given us a Lincoln, and around his hallowed name all others have circled. Chicago known as the fine city, we have given us a Lincoln, and around the world and its colored citizens are the best in the world. We own beautiful homes, operate numerous business places, have our own banks, lawyers, and own hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property. On behalf of our friends offer the keys of the city. You are admitted everywhere except the Bridewell. You may look at our ladies, but you may not see them. You welcome and may you come again."
Mr. Duncan responded in a happy vein, among other things, to the great interest he highly entertained at the famous Elmwood, the most famous place in the city, alluded to the kindness extended him, and said that if any of those present ever came to his city the latch string would
Mr. Russell Speaks.
Mr. Russell, who used to be a modest speaker, but is now a regular after-dinner orator, said: "I love to be loyal and kind, and I am always sure to entertain them. My place is always on the true blue men of my race. Gratitude is the fairest flower that I can offer to anyone that causes me to have this wine flow as freely as the waters of the Luzon for the pleasure and happiness of my distinctions and happiness." Mr. Neil Johnson, of New York, responded to the toast of the Empire State, and paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Russell. Mr. Russell, New York he said, was still the leader in America, and would be so as long as it sits by the Atlantic ocean. Mr. James, who was a former New Yorker and said that when he returned he would be ready to have enough money to erect a skyscraper on the South Side. The Elmwood has become the only place in Chicago where first-class banquet
Harry Gilliam an Artist.
When a young man is really an artist at his work, credit and praise should be given to him. He is the most important character of some little prejudices born of a minion. Mr. Gilliam was selected last week to the trappings for Miss Aida Overton Wall. He was the most successful young man for the manner in which he performed his work. Mr. Vodery, the musical director of the school, came away praising the young man for his serious and too retarded and uncertain. This untruthful man was too much critical to be offered. For us hope it was a error of the writer, for it was not in his best interest. He was such a Pad Gilliam's ability, just drop in the Elite and bear him on the drums, bellow, xylophone. At the age of 400 he was also a Pad Slaughter. Canadian Judeo-Pope Mme Moore's Dance Hall, Russell and Dago's buffet. August 12 he opened up at the Elite and opened up such a record, splendid attalments, good habits and a progressive musician, the criticism made was unwarranted and untrue.

The country is in need of knowing more about the publica- tion issued by the Neal Neal Company, issued by the Neal Neal president of which is a Southern man, who yet entertains the public. The Neal Neal intellect and possibilities of the American Negro in literature. Mr. Walter Neal is the president of this company, and is the author of the book Negro in country in affording the medium through which some of the ables white and Negro writers may discuss the most trying and difficult problems.
Chicago People Interested.
While the people in Chicago are interested in the entire series, we have space for Negro contributors. The first of these appeared in the Neal's Monthly for October, from the great and versatile pen of the late William Neal, "Our Jungle Man." This contribution is perhaps one of the most sociological works in the field of African Professor's pen. Most of his articles heretofore read by the writer have been mainly controversial and historical. But the article the professor analyzed was great science, and will the dominant phases of Negro mind and nature, and in this respect it is an illuminating book in the history of American Negro life and character.

Chicago News Speaks
A few days ago the staid old Tribune arose from its lethargy and made a cry in wilderness for air and just treatment. The Tribune All Chicago was surprised, for it has been its policy to be silent upon the Negro with crime and meanness toward the "brother." Since Judge Kavanaugh spoke at the Irish Fellowship Club in favor of the Negro to help him earn a livelihood, there has been a decided change for the better.

WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO.
By Dr. Booker T. Washington, in the "World's Work Magazine, New York City, November, 1913—Explains the Tuskegee Idea—Writes of Racial Relationships in the South.
Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, writes a special article, "What I am Trying to Do." Work, New York City, a series of twelve articles under this title have been published in the World's Work during the World's Work contributors to the series so far have represented every phase of business and educational life—captains of information, teachers of knowledge, other in every field of activity. The World's Work is quite the most representative business magazine published in the United States, and progress from one end of the earth to the other.
In particular article, here referred to, Dr. Washington summarizes his life work at Tuskegee Institute, explaining in detail just what he has been trying to accomplish in the progress of the Negro people in the United States. The whole scheme of what Dr. Washington is exemplified and explained so that one can get a pretty good idea of the work being accomplished through Tuskegee. With particular reference to the matter of racial relationships in the South, Dr. Washington, in the article that I have tried to do has been to bring the white people in the southern states and throughout the country to a better understanding and practical attitude toward the Negro in his efforts to go forward and make progress. I am seeking to do this not only in the interest of the Negro but also in the interest of white race.
"I am trying to get the white people to realize that we need to invest inishment of crimes, no color line should be drawn in the preparation for life, in the kind of education, in other ways. I am trying to get the white people to see that in hundreds of counties in the city it is costing more to punish colored people than to educate them. I am trying to get all to educate them. I am trying to invite them and encourage the stronger race to act unjustly toward the weak, and that so long as this condition remains, I will not hurt a fearful handcap in the battle of life."

Manager Lowe Removed for Alleged
Drunkenness Editor Re-
ceived for Text on Him.
(Special from Quaker City News Bureau, Box 530.)
PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Nov. 5.—There was a great shake-up in the affairs of the African Methodist Church in this city in 1970, when the church opened. The Publication Board, of which Bishop Evans Tyrese is president, met on the offices of editor of the Christian Record and manager of the Book Concern, held, respectively, by Dr. R. W. Wright, the executive director of the dramatic climax of the Wright-Lowe controversy, which began from the day Dr. Lowe assumed the office of manager and continued until both parties were discharged.
Wright Charges Lowe.
Dr. Wright said he was ready to prove his charge, and produced an affidavit from Delancy, near Third street, as follows: "March 6, 1913, Jacob Lowe, 1221 Pine street, age 49; married; black; an attorney at Front and Delancy streets; condition when arrested, drunk; time of entry, 11 a. m." Dr. Lowe insisted that he was arrested for torture and fell unconscious at the street. He said he did not remember anything until he came to in the police station. He said he was not drunk and had not been tortured. He also arrevered that he had had a similar attack of vertigo in Vickersburg, Miss, in 1880—consideration of the board, asking that they take his word that it was vertigere rather than that of Editor Wright's affidavit from the police records that it was drunken.
Wright Corners Sinclair.
This Sinclair did not deny, and Lowe practically admitted, saving that Wright an appeal to the board for sympathy, telling of his long years of service. He boarded the board when executive session of the board were guests of Dr. Lowe at dinner, and Sinclair resided, and some suspect that some clever political work was done here.
Surprising Verdict.
At 4 o'clock the board reconvened, and at 8:30, after two hours deliberation, the board decided to appoint Bishop Tyree stated that they had decided to declare both offices vacant. The two men made statements. It is said that the board satisfied with the verdict, as he did satisfaction with the verdict, as he did satisfaction with the verdict, as he did no charge was brought against him. The verdict, especially that relating to Editor Wright, created a genuine sense of responsibility expected. Many of the local ministers were very strong in their denunciation of what they called the unfair restraint accorded Edith.
Dr. J. L. Lowe came here from Arkansas and attended the General Conference in Kansas City, Mo. May, 1912, as business manager of the firm succeeding Dr. R. R. Wright, who declined election as manager and was elected at the same time editor of the Christi- A. M. E. Church and the oldest Nesro periodical in existence. The two men are temperamentally different and have not met in Chicago, the university of Chicago, the University of Pennsylvania, and later received the Ph. D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania. The woods are full of applicants for the position, are considered two the best in the church, and are Arnie. J. L. W. Watkins and M. W. Thornton, who are mentioned as possible business manager.

Who will develop as the leader of the Negro Democracy in this city? is the question.
The New York Negro Exhibition has been pronounced a big success. Rather pleasing information.
The greater and better Christmas issue of The Freeman. Look out for it. Get in it. Write in for information.
The 10,000 names written protesting the segregation of colored employees in the departments at Washington ought to prove a weighty argument.
Mayor Shank has concluded to do a little weeding out. We can't quite see the necessity at this time. He may have as well have stuck to his crew until the drop came. His eleventh-hour acts do not say much for economy.
Next month is Christmas, the most alarming month of the year. The best of us sit up and take notice at its announcement. We, the ordinary people, are never quite prepared for it. Some think of abolishing the day. It is too distinguished to give up, with all of our unpreparedness.
A bloodless war, Heaven be praised! The street car strike gave away to peace 'neath the angry frowns of city and State authorities. The differences between the men and the company will be submitted to a board of arbitration. The company, at first, was inclined to oppose arbitration, but better counsel prevailed, as it should have done. Mr. Clawson put it right when he said that the citizens, the company and the men were interested. Reading between the lines, the thought is gathered that the street car company is more than a private concern, and as such the citizens have something to say. At any rate, a peaceful solution is promised, and over the prospects of which everybody seems happy.
Very much has been seen in print concerning the Negro Year Book of 1912.
"The author, Monroe N. Work, who has charge of records and research at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, has enlarged, revised, indexed and brought all the facts about the Negro in America down to date.
"Every name, fact or event which any one interested in the progress of the race needs to know, will almost certainly be recorded or referred to in this book. A new and complete index makes all these facts, which were formerly sometimes lost sight of under chapter headings, easily accessible. An enlarged and carefully classified list of articles and publications on the Negro furnishes the reader with references to any phase of Negro life or the Negro problem.
"If there is anything about the Negro which you want to know and do not find recorded in this book, write to the editor, inclosing a stamped envelope, and he will either tell you what it is or indicate where the information may be found."
THANKSGIVING DAY PROCLAMA-
TION.
Thanksgiving Day has been proclaimed by President Wilson, who insists that we have very much to be thankful for. He says among other things that "The nation has been prosperous—not only, but has proved its capacity to take calm counsel amidst the rapid movements of affairs and deal with its own life in a spirit of candor, righteousness and comity. We have seen the practical completion of a great work at the 5thmus of Panama, which not only exemplifies the nation's abundant resources to accommodate its growing population, guished skill and capacity of its public servants, but also promises the beginning of a new age, of new contacts, new neighborhoods, new sympathies, new bonds, and new achievements of co-operation and peace."
Good! And happily put. Yet the Negroes doubtless feel that their millions are worthy of notice even in such a general notice to the country as a Thanksgiving Day proclamation. If Mr. Wilson could conscientiously have said that our people regardless of race are enjoying the greatest measure of justice possible consistent with the age, that finely phrased utterance would mean more to our millions than it does mean.
THE 10,000 SIGNATURES
REACH THE PRESIDENT
The petition of 10,000 signatures signatures protest the segregation of Negroes in various departments at Washington has finally been presented to President Wilson. The delegation bearing the petition was introduced to him by Congressman Thatcher of Massachusetts. Mr. Wilson took the matter under advisement. The delegation quoted a pre-election letter written by the President, which was as follows: "It is my earnest wish to see justice done them in every matter, and not mere grudging justice, but justice executed with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every principle of our Constitution commends this, and our
sympathies should also make it easy." We appreciate the very perplexing position in which Mr. Wilson finds himself, thinking, of course, that he is not a party to the movement. Really we ought to know from which source the order came that resulted in the screening off of colored employees and the other signs of discrimination. Secretary McAdoo is charged with the offense. But it is not reasonableness to exercise so much authority. Star chamber politics is not popular in our government, especially when it gets motion vicious legislation. Are the Democrats in Washington a unit on this movement? Is it a policy of the administration? If so, the President will find it very difficult to render that "justice with liberality and cordial good feeling" that he spoke of.
It is a difficult thing to render justice with liberality and cordial good feeling if Mr. Wilson wishes to keep in the segregation sentiment, but not difficult if he cares to swing clear of it, taking his chances. We know what anti-Negro sentiment means. Presidents cannot curb it. But we believe that in a case o fthis kind that Mr. Wilson can change the order of things without endangering his popularity. If it is not an understood policy it is his opportunity to declare it off, not to speak of his duty.
NOVELS WILL HELP.
Our race will be helped very much by what we may call a new order of publications, short stories, novels, are what not, that tend to set forth evil and follies within the race, things we do not care very much about seeing in print. To the novel, as much as anything else, is owed the exposition of social wrongs, civil wrongs of enlightened countries.
The novel has been, at times, of more force and usefulness than the legislature. It has moved hand in hand, very often, with the pulpit. Nor should we forget the stage when speaking of the possible vehicles for good. Our race has stubbornly opposed anything that looked like the exposition of moral laxity, saying that since the other races were busy in the business, exposing the race, it should be the duty of race writers to "bull" the race rather than "bear" it. And there was reason for the position taken, since it was that way. The good that the race had done was interred with its bones and so forth. It is some different now. White publications are setting forth the best they see of us. But the point is not that.
In the inner precincts of our lives, our social activities, we find things controlled by influences, very often, that do not serve to race advantage. It is not always profitable to speak of these things from the housetops—from the pulpits, from the newspapers, and simply because the old notion of screening clings too faithfully on. Our race will find that it will have to grow retrospective, turn the searchlight inward, and become the "old ladder." The novels, the stage, the pulpit, the newspaper of the white race move like the recent Balkan allies on the strongholds of sin and wrong. They act as a combined battery in reducing the fortress of sin and wrong, thus holding civilization true to the thing that it stands for.
The white people have had their problem novels, their problem plays. Our race has benefitted because of them, yet we do not apply the morals in that efficacious way that would follow if our own race were directly dead, with no teaching is eminently achieved by action. We must have the truth pointed out to us, time and time again—at us.
The race seems to need most at this time moral propaganda, or a commission for moral guidance. The circulation of literature that points a moral as well as adorns a tale is it. A novel with a Negro villain as well as a Negro hero is the last thing expected in these days. But why not have novels of that kind? We have both heroes and villains among us. The ugly side must be showed up; not that it stay up permanently, but that it be put permanently down. It is plain enough that we do not take cheerfully to the idea of having our follies set forth. The result is that we are winking at just a little too much, and if we do not find less to wink at, we will find more. What this means needs no explanation.
ADVANCED PEOPLE MAKE FOR
AN ADVANCED GOVERNMENT
Self-government is the best of all governments, but it is also the most difficult. Only a very advanced people, a people of sound intelligence, and above all of robust character, is fit to govern itself—Roosevelt at Buenos Ayres, South America. The colonel knows just what to say. Doubtless his remarks were influenced by the Mexican situation. What he had to say has been accepted as a general truth. We Americans of the United States especially like the proposition that "only a very advanced people, a people of sound intelligence, and above all of robust character, is fit to govern itself." And yet if we cared to be academic the proposition could be reduced in its rigidity, unless it turns out that we are the only people living up to the terms of the proposition.
We think of our own country as an ideal government, holding it so because of the character of the people and the ideals held up and striven for. We think our kind of government is the best owing to our accomplishments under it. We think this so, but at the same time our theory of high-class government is not always borne out b other countries of similar government. We think that such a form had been just as great under another form of government. That is to say, the genius may reside within us, the people.
Until recently we were alone as the only high-class country with a republican form of government. France has been a republic for a few decades, the other country most approaching our own in civilization. But a few decades are only as moments in the history of that country, which has tried every form of government. Napoleon, at the beginning of his governing career, was practically Le President. Washington could have been on across the continent himself as Diaz of Mexico perpetuated himself, and just as kings have done, and at that of highly civilized governments.
Without the effort to disparage our own government we are not so sure that the elements given for the making make alone for the ideal. The western hemisphere is made of republics, mainly, Canada being the exception. Yet the other republics than our own do not come up to our conception of what makes a good, first-class government. We reach again the conclusion that we are made of people of our country, and who would make for a good government of any form. Barring France, no republic compares with us. Switzerland, it
seems, should be the republic, to which men should turn for republican inspiration. Housed amid the Alps, that people clung to their governmental faith, that of representative democracy, and absolute democracy, despite the world's political upharassage. And while the country appears as a country in miniature, it answers in most part the Roosevelt theory of an advanced people for republics. Switzerland is pre-eminently the land of schools. This, together with German substrata by way of its citizens, that rugged, free people, honest, bold people, have made for a government ideal in principle if not in its details.

Most of our western hemisphere republics are quiet, sane, progressive, yet they do not subscribe thoroughly to the Roosevelt doctrine of the best governments. Mexico, one would think, is more advanced than Argentine, but what does Mexico exhibit? The point is that the educated, advanced people make their ensured government the best kind of government. Germany, England, Japan are fine examples of educated peoples making for the best governmentes relegated to the least privileged may sail under. Surely we would not say that the governments of the Latin nations of America, although republics, compare with the monarchy of England. It is plain that an advanced people make for an advanced government regardless of the form, having in mind the better forms of present existing governments.

She says she has a brand new shirt in which she jumped in the first house in which she appeared. The song is entitled "Jumping the Jump."

The city of Flushing only boasts of three colored people, and to think that one of the three colored people means everything the town is only nutting it too wild. Success to Mr. Gaze and all other colored men who strive to do right and obtain means everything that is commendable.

SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING.
(By Salem Tutt Whitney, Smart Set Company.)
"The Wrong Mr. President" played to a fair business at the Temple in opposition to the Crescent, untouchable 'Tom's' Cabin at the Lyric, Holy Saints' week, Holloween and numerous festivals and balls. Judge have done so well under the circumstances, and the Judge usually knows what he is talking about. Judge has been called to 'Judge', as he is affectionately called by his host of friends, is still the most conspicuous man in New Orleans. He of New Orleans. Years have failed to dim his eyes or dull his intellect, and he is springly step of a youngster just out of college. While in his office the Judge pointed with boyish pride to a 'Ceremony' to him by his professors in the year 1881.
The Judge is highly respected by the best white citizens of Oceania. The Judge is also respected by their place of business and is always greeted with "Hello Jim! How are you?" An introduction by the Judge is always greeted with graces, and they always seem delighted to do anything that will favor the Judge. No public gathering, smoker or socialization is quite complete without the Judge. The Judge is always a speaker, having almost complete command of the English language and a large vocabulary words flow from mouth in a beautiful way that seldom falls to entrance his hearers.
It is a regrettable fact that a large portion of colored people prefer to be "improved" and witness a white show in a colored show in a colored theater, where they have unrestricted facilities for enjoying the colored people at the Crescent to witness the Al G. Fields show was filled to standing room for every performance. The minstrel show was well up to the standard, but there were many people it that should have made it objectionable. The minstrels were filled to standing room for every people. The words "nigger" and "coon" were used repeatedly. The "crap" came from the fact that came with people. The fact was a positive insult. Representatives of all nations with their national flags were worn. The presented flags were with came with Negro characters, grotesquely dressed carrying flags with their blank sides holding flags with came with Negro characters, crudely drawn, of these flags showed them with painted figures and characters, crudely drawn, of Negro shootings crap, stealing water, holding flags with came with Negro shootings crap, every race has a Flag but a Coon. Only one or two of the colored people present, pressing the fingers, holding flags with came with Negro shootings crap, it is this sort of caricature that the Irish have resented so strenuously, the eggs and other miscles at the performers crap and other miscles at the performers crap in this manner mispresented them.
I take great pleasure in recommending the Neil O'Brien Minstrels. It is a clean, sombre, through words, "minstrel" minstrelsome, with the words "nigger" "ocean" are not used during the entire performance, and it contains nothing objectionable from the author. O'Brien the leading white exponent of the "blackface Negro" and has learned that the true art of entertaining is to please and draw offence to any portion of his audience.
"Chicken real" Beasman is making good in New Orleans as elsewhere. He is an intelligent comedian with a bright future, but should remember that the candle will not burn until ends and ends and no longer period of time.
"Gregz" Billy Nictols blew into town the last of the week. I have seen him looking better. Billy is a great performer, with talent to spare. He is also old enough to know that face he is given has not one ending.
Andy Pelibson and wife looked us over a thet Temple. They appeared prosperous and happy.
Mr. A. O. Smith, the genial proprietor of the Chicago Hotel, is still contemplating great趣 His latest venture is a Negro pleasure park, capitalized at $100,000. He is now selling stock at $10 per share worthy enterprise and deserves success.
---
Mr. Braden, proprietor of the storist Hotel, saloon and restaurant, is a wonderful business men of New Orleans, is about to make a theatrical venture. We wish him much success.
The benefit performance given in behalf of George Williams, formerly of the team of Smart, was Friday afternoon, November 7, in every way a huge success. The management of the affair was practiced by the staff of Toasty Langston and Joe Jordan, and a handsome sum was realized. The program was as follows: Portend and Dewey sang; Sidney L. Perrin, in Chinese character; Blondie Robbion, who cleaned up for everybody. Black introduced a neat little speech of thanks. Mr. Carl in his remarks, with heart filled with joy, acted in many actors, show in helping each other in
ST. LOUIS, MO.
Good Attractions at the Boeker Wash inston.
(By Walter S. Fearance.)
Act. 3.—The world-renowned Blondi Robinson has at last paid us a vist, and billed us for the trip. He was all that we expected and then some. He says "Smile, Smile, Smile." "And Then You Are Drunk," and billed us for the trip. He each number. His economic dance steps and contortions would make a corpse smile, and is worth going miles to see. Every smile and movement of Blondi Robinson would be a case of the blues, go and see Blondi act, and away the blues by.
The Two Sweets, St. Louis favors, are with us again, and in a brand new act that is very good indeed, and was well applauded by the overflowing houses opened with "Sampson's Band" and a stick twirling specialty by Long Wille, a funny attendant and followed by many sweeties that were followed by Sweets that kept the house in a constant uprear; but it remained for the band to strike the first cloord in "Tm So Glad My Name Is Sweet," and was followed by the house to be so demented, and dainty Miss Sweet sang it as never before. She was constantly called back time and time again to get enough. This scream we followed by parodies on "You Made Me Love You." "Keep It Up," by Sweet, that went big, with a comic appeal, the "Honey Bee."
CINCINNATI, O., THEATRICAL NOTES.
The Pekin opened Monday evening with a new and novel bill. Miss Elise Johns-Thompson just closed an extensive engagement on the Southern time, proved to be a good introduction, proved to be a good appearance here for several years, and her friends gave her a rousing closing numbers, and the act is a real headliner. They have good voices and pretty costumes. Their Indian dancingumes are a little better than the average.
Miss Jennie Monroe is back in the box office at the Polkin. (Better known as Cheekle), well known among members of the profession, died November 8, from an attack of the heart. (Better known as Henderson were the only down-town colored proprietors who were lucky enough to get saloon licenses under the new law. Are Cassady are the authors of a new waltz song, "In the Midst of the Ocean Blue." It's a big hit. Gales, one of the best known comedians in the Middle West, after spending a successful summer in the far West, is back home, in charge of a big spectaculairy show at the Kentucky towns along the Ohio river. The Lincoln Theater, at Fifth and John, is nearly completed. Speculation is rife that the staff will be. Tom Gales is strongly
Week of November 10.
Week of November 10, had Robinson and Brooks, in "Darktown Millionaires", with fine wardrobe, and a good, clean, chilly dress. The hit of the bill was Pete Delrose, "The Nervous Woman", who had a good line of talk. And, Louis, wooden shoe dancers, closed the bill with a good act. Crosby and Wilson opened the show.
Remarks.
The matinee every day is proving to be a winner. The theater is kept good and warm all over the house. Business is going strong and wait to get in. Mr. Goodman and Mr. Smith are giving them the goods, the song Mr. John H. Smith wrote for the movie. One side, let them out" Johnnie is going big with it. There was a little snow here yesterday. George is there with the same old song, going good and smiling at the ladies. He is very popular with them.
AT THE FORD THEATER.
Miss Lise C. Preston and the "Original Bert Green" are still making good, old, fun music, still playing to packed houses, Green is an originator, writing and staging his own dances, h. always bring the house down with applause. Miss Preston in her repertoire of songs and her pleasing personality, she is one of the greatest sopranos in the state and is very well known. She is one of the greatest sopranos one of the highest class acts now staged. The proprietor rand manager, R. F. Johnson, is always smiles at the close of the day.
MY EXPERIENCE AS A "SUPER."
"My Experience as a Super," taking part in all the leading dramas and operas of the 1950s, "The Hamlet," "Julius Caesar," "Macbeth," "Garden of Allah" and "Kismet." I have noticed the leading ladies and gentlemen of my race are very backward in attendance, and I have seen dark races, ages ago and their triumph in struggles in civilization. Girls do not retrace their footsteps and read ancient and modern history that is being played now by men in this age, and read that did occur thousands of years ago. I think that the younger people of my race have themselves greatly by studying these histories.

This little boy be her own;
We'll try to raise it right,
So that when it has grown up
'Twilbe our hearts' delight.
To start her out in this world right,
That will be our aim;
That will be our manhood
She'll hold a righteous name.
And may she be a Christian,
The kind that's tried and true,
And do the will of God above,
As all good Christians do.
When life's uneven journey is ended,
And when she closes her eyes to sila,
She will be welcomed to a rest—
A home beyond the sea.

D stands for Dudley,

Big claise in vaudeville,
Since Seals and Fisher begun.
O stands for Owsey;
And Tellier and Fisher.
He is called the Little Wizard.
And a jolly, good fellow.
K stands for Kemper,
Keystone, kind and Kemper.
Another good one to meet.
If he doesn't lose his temper.
T stands for time;
not afraid
I in God we trust
I be happy and proud.
M for mighty movement
That S. H. D. started.
G is the ending of a prosperous life.
When from earth he has parted
With the earth.
W, who keeps me working; Gee, that's
nice.
H, if big big, fat, good-hearted guy, and
boss of the eastern time.
These boys are a friend the performer
and the first to pop up, I believe.

We will be playing the show since, returning here: M. Kelly, pianist, and Mr. Chas, J. Harris, musician. We will be playing the show on November 2. The roster of the show is as follows: Mr. T. W. Lockhart, owner; Mr. Harrison cornet and violin; Mr. Buster, trap drummer; Mr. M. Kelly, pianist; Messrs E. L. Seatry, bassist; Mr. Buster, pickers, Ollie Cheshire, Mrs. Ada Lockhart, Ida Blackburn, La, Vera Burton, Berta Lowe Mayella Maason. Everybody is happy and send reprints and also to their beloved Freeman.
SUNNY DIXIE MINSTRELS STILL IN TEXAS.
The Sunny Dixie Minstrels are still in the Lone Star state, playing to S. R. O. only. On November 2, we played Austin, the star of the show, out. Our manager, Mr. Dana Thompson, was all smiles, because the Sunny Dixie Minstrels is the only show that cleans up in Austin that we see here. Nelson Johnson watches a stream and scores a home run. Our clever comedian, Happy Dudley, is some funny comedian, featuring the famous song "I'll Be Your Man." Mrs. Barrice Pressley, although very young in the profession, is a dainty little soubrette. Peewe McCoy, our interluteror, is a headed mby the wide-faced

Wash Martin's Sunshine Girls will bid for approval at the Majestic theater this week, beginning November 14. The company will come up to expectations, if past performances are to be relied upon. As cadiant as the first rays of the morning sun, the Sunshine Girls will endeavor to dispell gloom and destroy unpleasantness. The Sunshine Girls will be many recognized artists for genuine ability, prominent among them: Pete Curley, Frank Manning, Charles Raymone, Jasper Jackson, Vivian Clement, Prince Martin Curlie.
Rich, beautiful and magnificent costumes will add to the attraction of twenty-six young and pretty girls. Elabo creates a unique environment of beauty which the demands of fancy require in stage pictures. The special music written for this show is interpolated with the most charming songs that the are the hits of New York.
(By Walker Wilmer Thomas.)
Eston and Eston are at the Belmont theater, making a big hit with their late songs and dances. They receive three nights, nightly.
Patterson and Patterson are also on the bill for this week. They are doing nothing but first-class work, which is barely led by the packed houses every night.
Boyd Harris, the man who "shows" Beans, is the man who "shows" nothing but the late songs composed by himself. Harris receives three and four encounters every night, singing "Beans." Thomas Minton, the tramp musician, chose him. He made a successful engagement.
Harkum and Nugent closed here last week, after spending two months in the theater and made a big bit while here.
The Belmont theater is now under the control of the new manager will be slad to have the better class of colored people attend the show. The manager promises nothing but clean shows even yellows. The Freeman is for sale at the theater, be a writer W. Thomas and Bertram W. White.
GEO WILLIAMS BENEFIT.
Everybody Read This.
CHICAGO. Ill.—The benefit was a success, but a frame-up game. Although he was a fan of the game, $30.95 all I got for Georgette was $46.75, $4 of that being in checks from Tim Owley, Tim Moore, Bob Slater, Bart Kenneden and Joe Gordon, Tony Langston, of the team. I gave them $99.25 to give it, which they took, and gave me the rest, $46.75. Joe Gordon also claims the game was his office, and as they won not put me in the box office or on the door, we had to take his word for it. Some of them said we were not sure we knew what can be in. All I have to say is that the benefit did the ones that were at the head of it more good than the others. The States have 700 hundred seats; $8 were vacant, so use your judgment about how much came in. The oni yhthing that we gave him a benefit, as I have had Georgette
bring with me for eight years, and if I had him that long, I didn't think man of their standing would use my husband's and my name to make the public think their hearts were right when they had to think about the start, which they did. Want all to join me in wishing those who gave the benefit good luck. They got most of the money they received, and they will be rewarded by a higher court some day. I remain as ever, a sister to the profession.
M.S. MOGLIE CROSEY PERRIN, P.S. Although Sid Perrin was secretary of the affair, his mail was opened at the Pompei before he got it. They rude to make me share the night for $25 as George Sharp might for the benefit, which I refused to do.

Two weeks of success for J. Luburie Hill's "Darktown Follies," Every member of the team engages here, and all made good. Sam Gaines as Jasper Green, owner of a plantation near Leesburg, a.; A. Bradford; Lillian Bradford; Jim Jackson Lee. Jasper's son-in-law; Julius Glenn, and Will C. Brown, with the goods. Miss Jennie E. Schaffer as Madam Langtree, a grass widow; Evon Robinson, her youngest daughter; played their parts well. Mr. E. L. Perkins, a prominent lawyer of Leesburg did that part to perfection. He stars in the play well, well. Mr. Hill deserves great credit for putting on so great a show. He stars in the play well, well. He is exceptionally funny. The remainder of the company worked hard; so did Mr. J. Luburie Hill, Miss Bibel Williams, Daisy Brown and Edna Morton. This week we have at the Lafayette vaudeville, an event that we will be attending, Copeland and Payton, Johnnie Woods, Miss Cassell and Harrison Stewart's stock company in a mega-market. Copeland and Payton, Johnnie Woods, Miss Cassell and Harrison Stewart, Viola Stewart, B. Morgan, Hattie Hurris, Robert Allen, J. Luburie Hill, Blanche Hurris, Burris and Chris Smith, the latter two being song writers.
Crescent Theater.
Williams and Stevens, after a successful run of five weeks, closed Sunday night. It was Williams, a secrecote coach who advised his team he might not be able to finish the week; but having a strong constitution, he recompiled to last on the week and perhaps next. Following them came Jess Shipp and Carl's big act as a special attention-grabber, with gold in "Wash Day on the Levee," and it was a great hit. In connection with this was James Dero, the great back and wing dance act, Mr. B. Rayburn sang a parody on "You Made Me Love You" that was the art of dance, dance, dance finish they set the house wild. The Musical Craigs did a nice act. Emily Burbier got by nicely, and Lewis did very well. To Tokyo, Jianese, did very well with the violin.
Family Theater
Miss Ross and Turner went big at this theater. They were followed by Ruth Allen, a nice little souret. To name the number of times Miss Allen has worked with her, she does not really know, herself. She is a favorite any time she appears, receiving ovations that are to her liking. Smith and Mills went nicely. The hit, the happy Forsell, the noise of her performance, Percell and Thornton got their share of the applause.
Pioneer Theater.
Gray and Gray opened this bill this week with a singing and dancing act of a musical duet, and went back. Dixon and Hanson did well. The Great Musical Martini made the hit of his life here—in fact the audiences went to hear his work. He returned to earn Ellsworth and her dancing girls cleaned up for fair, for their act was a riot. It will pay managers of the different theaters as it is clean reduced and up to date.
Franklin Theater.
This pretty little theater has nothing
beautiful. It is not as beautiful as it are,
it is thought that later on on
will be again put on. Let us hope so
that the audience will get the
better it is for the profession.
59th Street Theater.
Eight acts on this bill last week and this, all going nicely. The country storing all the gifts is all smiles, as his business is gradually improving. More people are learning of the gifts and are coming to the theater.
The Holiday and Vaughner Company at White Plains, N. Y. the first three nights of this week. Booked by the Small United.
Mr. Harry Conley, the great tramp barrel jumper, just arrived in New York to open on the Cleveland time.
Reports from Eddie Day say he is doing fine in Boston. Mass.
John W. Cooper reports that he has a number of engagements yet, and is undoubtedly making good.
I received a card from an act asking me to mention them, stating that they were on a certain house, in a certain town. I know they are been laying off for three weeks, and I hope they won't look for the write-up.
We are to have two new colored theaters next year. One is to start building soon. I shall mention the names of the houses later, as the managers are not for this information to be made public.
