The White Pledge Among Mayor Thompson is seized or it has regulated, being the white plague out to the South Side and the best respected citi- sions of the colored race and the white community on negro women. White girls some skilkirked them and others soliciting them, are frequenting the district after 1 o'clock as an accessory to the plague. And in all interference on account of color when white people are cultivating the social instead of civil rights. The only furniture will be for Mayor Thompson to send people home at one o'clock in the morning. People does civil day, unless everything else be closed except restaurants and drug stores as eastern norm wave does civil day, unless everything else be closed is getting to be just as general on Sundays, in tough joints, as though the mayor were open.

The Senate may be called to adjourn a level to latest of a series of tragic chapters in the history of the most turbulent island in the western hemisphere. It is known that the United States has been striving for years to crush out the revolutionary tendency among the people, and to promote orderly and good government. It is the hope of the United States that again this convention will start the little country on the road to peace and prosperity. The treaty seems to have been successful, and lishing in the island a benevolent despotism. Perhaps this is the best chance to done with civic circumstances. The conditions are extraordinary, and doubtless they had to be met in kind. But the establishment of benevolent despotism is hardly the only possibility. It must be difficult for any well-wisher of the United tates to refrain from hoping that it may proceed along this route.

NEWS OF THE NATION'S METROPOLIS The New York Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church Votes to Elevate Negroes to Bishopric. AN ELOQUENT APPEAL BY REV. W. H. BROOKS The large vote is supposed to have been wholly due to the result of the vote, and goes down in history as one of the most significant victories won for the race. Most of the clergymen of the body expressed very strongly on the importance of but was not appealed of Dr. Brooks. When Dr. Brooks made his plea before the conference, he made up of prominent members of the M. E. connection and conference and applauded vigorously the address. So the conference was a demonstration that he broke down in tears and wept. Dr. Brooks is one of the strongest men in the Methodist Church and the most prominent members of the race. He had been pastor of St. Mark's church for nineteen years, holding the longest record of service in the church. His pastorate has been especially brilliant and St. Mark's stands today as one of the best organized churches in the country. The progressive ideas a church house has been built where the institutional features of the church are conducted. The church has a fine example for the other bodies, and will have its result. Last week the Philadelphia and Baltimore conferences of the church held a stand against this measure. One of the white members of the conference openly stated that there was no man of integrity to take up the work of the bishopric. The friends throughout the nation will be glad to hear of the great victory. The question has become one of the great and vital matters before the church and will doubtless become one of the live issue. Young Contractor for the Metropolis.

The Indianapolis Star says that it is the friend of the colored people. We need friends too badly to turn it down. The movement to help the growth of the $250,000 fund for Tuskegee is meeting with favor in this city. The general disposition is to give. Just as soon as the executive committee's plans are perfected the campaign will be on. Among those favorably mentioned for nomination for state treasurer on the Republican ticket is Charles W. Lanz, of Bedford, Ind. He has a fine record as a Republican worker. In politics and business, he has been set down as a dependable individual, enjoying general esteem owing to his faithfulness to principles and men. From what is understood, Louisville is free from the "Jim Crow" street car touch. The senate passed a bill for a division in the cars, but when trying to make the house it was killed in the committee having charge of such measures. It is needless to say the colored citizens were greatly relieved when they got the news. A $100,000 hotel is proposed for Washington, D. C. Some hotel. And there seems to be something to it. The names of Judge R. H. Terrel and R. W. Thompson are among the promoters. Indianapolis had a 'similar dream a short time ago, but 'twas only that, and nothing more. The Washington bunch is a good one, and it should make good. That city, its army of governors, amasses, visiting friends, ought to be able to maintain a mode erated size, first-class hotel. What is needed all over the country is first-class concern, even if small. The Y. M. C. A.'s are illustrous examples of what we should have. Those beautiful civic temples are grand enough to entertain those among us of whatever feeling of personal grandeur. And they be bright ones upon us. Such institutions make for content; and contentment at our own will be a considerable factor in reducing the opposition to concerns by white people where 'tis written above the doors, 'Thou shall not enter.' Contentment makes for the right kind of independence, We take pleasure in referring Hardin Tolbert, our Frankfort, y., correspondent, to the Lexington News, which says that he is "falsifying the returns" of his commonwealth. The issue of March 18 devotes the entire editorial space to The Freeman under the caption of the "Persistent Freeman." We are inclined to like the name, but we do not care to send for the contents; we do not publish publication takes us severely to task because of our incorrigible correspondent. We have no desire to put correspondent out of commission. We know that he must be a "humdinger." because of the number of papers he sells for us in Kentucky. We know that he has to serve up some very savory things to do this, but we do not expect him to serve up unsavory things. And Mr. Tolbert says that he does not do so. We can not censure the lines of our correspondent, not that we have no desire to do so, but because we are impossible to watch the publication is charged in the instances rather than in correspondents. We say again that it is our desire that the truth be told, and that we in no wise countenance malicious tales, even to increase the sale of the paper. DAISY WALKER-BOOKER. From time to time letters have been written to The Freeman inquiring about a home in this city, Indianapolis, established and operated by Mrs. Daisy Walker-Booker in the interest of Colored girls. Really we have been annoyed by the result of the inquiries. At one time Daisy Walker, as she is best known, did conduct a home as she now advertises in her travels. The home, we think, is still in her name, and, we also think, is occupied by one or two persons, perhaps relatives. It is not now operated for the purposes announced in the beginning. It is not operated as a charitable institution in any sense of the word. It is not mentioned or thought of by the Colored people of this city. It, as an institution, is entirely out of public mind. We have no desire to put the little woman at a disadvantage. We know her well. She is a most delightful personage: one of the best women speakers in this country. Owing to her talent, we can sorry indeed to have to say a single word against her. But she is getting The Freeman in bad. She says, when attention is sent to our answers to telegrams sent to this office, that The Freeman is her enemy and that it is persecuting her. She jams good men of the Southern cities when visiting, turning the people against them by her tears and eloquence when they run her down. It is her defense, and she has won up until this time. The matter has been referred to the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce; it insists that nothing be given Mrs. Daisy Walker Booker, THE STAR COMES THROUGH. In reference to the charge made against the Star of this city that it was unfair to the colored people, that publication said: "A recent editorial in these columns in connection with the primaries of the 2016 election, involving or denoting a change from this paper's traditionally fair treatment of the Negro race. The utterance in this editorial pretened; but for the benefit of any misguided or malicious person it may be said that if this paper is unbroken stand citizens needs any reiteration, it is cheerfully vouchsafed. Are any of our men being used as a cozepin this matter what, will look foolish as time goes on?" The above editorial from that publication speaks for itself. However, we feel to say that, barring the very last lines, nothing more could be expected. If that publication thinks that its position was misunderstood, it is far from us to have it appear otherwise. It is sign enough that it wishes to be understood as a helpful people regardless of what it said or how we construed it, and we take it at that. As to the expression, "Are any of our good friends being used as a catspaw in this matter as being made to do what will look foolish as time goes on?" we can hardly see the necessity for such a question. But we are not inclined to question it, because the foregoing part of the editorial is sympathetic and kindly. We will say, however, that the thing was not agitated in behalf of any one or more people, but in views as to what we, the colored people, thought the first editorial meant. If we were duped it were by our own indements. However, the incident is closed. Last Sunday's Star had some complimentary things of the race, and as the management outlined in the conference with the committee. In this Shakespeare's tercentenary, we may conclude by saying, "All's well that ends well." THE PYTHIAN ENCAMPMENT. A St. Louis publication has it that a Chicago publication is trying to make it appear that St. Louis, since the passage of the segregation measure, is not a fit city for the 1917 encampment of the Knights of Pythias, The Chicago publication, or its correspondent, is very anxious to have the encampment in the great convention city. He would have it appear that Supreme Chancellor Green has pronounced against St. Louis owing to its late civil iniquity. The writer says, "Since this law of segregation has passed, Negroes have not been permitted to go outside of their district unless policemen have their eyes on them;" "have one rear seat in street cars;" "have a line limit after 9 p. m.; and mentions terrible punishments for violations. The article closes by appealing to Chancellor Green to do his duty and save the Pythians from such a place. The St. Louis publication denounces all of these charges as the basest of fabrications. It says in demur, that the segregation measures are not in force and that they may never be. It further says, that there is no Jim Crow; no curfew. St. Louis is still the old St. Louis, and has thousands of dollars pledged to make the reauthorization of the Pythians what it ought to be. We have not mentioned the names of the quarreling papers because of the delicacy of butting in on some one else's proposition. However, we are anxious that the truth in the matter be known. The St. Louis publication evidently knows what it is talking about since it is on the spot. Anyhow, segregated cities, so far, are not different in aspect to other cities. The mean feature of segregation is not because that segregation is what it means. A great principle of republican government is violated when one citizen is put to unusual inconvenience, the same being unknown to others. Supreme Chancellor Green has said nothing that has reached the general public concerning a change of places. It is plain to see why the St. Louis people are so greatly worked up as indicated by the publication. The K. of P. encampment is the grandest Nogect spectra known to the race. Wherever there is patriotism the men are colored and oiled, and feet lifted up at the chances of might, glory and protection manifested by those splendid soldierly men, whether on the streets or in camp. The St. Louis people are in no mood to lose the encampment. Can you blame them? THE VICTORY THAT COUNTS. Some of us content for our rights in a style that make us more enemies or more pronounced enemies of those that we already have. We need to be courageous all right. But we should not get into the habit of thinking courage means making faces, calling names or using assaulting language. When we get so that we are abusive, vile and disrespectful in our "petitions" then we should be more敌对. That is, we should be ready to take our rights by force when our arguments amount to ultimatums. One would say, perhaps, that the situations often warrant the extremest language, and it does appear that way. But it is not language that counts most at all times. Says one of the excellent writers, "Manners maketh the man." And that is true. We have some among us who talk down at the big gate, as they used to say in slavery days, where it was safe to talk. We say a lot of little things when we are so sure that greatly modify in the presence of the enemy." Nor is the thing confined to our people. Most persons take liberties in the absence of the subjects. But these little things sometimes get to be known, and then comes the mischief. Manners do make the man, and not what he says so much. We can oppose segregation, or discrimination just as stubbornly by respectful, determined methods as by charging and tearing, using expressions that at no time get us nearer our desire and very often chill the spirit of those inclined toward us. We have in mind some of the expressions seen in print since the introduction of segregation at St. Louis. If it may be agreed that any language is justifiable in such events, it must be admitted that there is a danger of hardening the hearts of our modern Pharaohs. And if there be such a thing as winning by force along these lines it will be scarcely more than defeat if unattended by the beautiful spirit of sympathy noted elsewhere. Isolation—spiritual isolation—is both contag- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. ious and fatal. The point is, that if we win, let us win clean, taking with us our privileges and the spirit of encouragement at the same time. No man can hold another as mean or contemptible because he stands up rigidly for his rights. He can, however, with reason, condemn his methods of making them. We run some little risk in this matter, for while the white people seemed as if enjoined by heaven to see to the wants of the Negro, yet it will be noticed that among them there is fairly an evenness of opinion as to what extent they are obligated to do this. And should the notion ever obtain that we are insultingly aggressive, it can readily be seen what could happen to us. Respectability is a force in itself—respectable appearance. It is a great argument when the individual seeks employment. It is appreciated by the person giving the employment request because the person receives it. Just as sure as it holds good in such instances it holds in others. The petition presented by firm respectful men generally gets a hearing. We theoretically protest that we have no such classes in this country as the petitioned and the petitioner, and yet we do have those very beings who are not governed by the rules which are most effective in bringing about the desired results. IN OLD PADUCAH. The Rev. R. A. Adams, Our National Evanielist, Says "The Negro Race Has Lagged in the Matter of Producing Preachers"—Odd Fellows On a Lookout—Boyd and Gaines Await Relatives—Mrs. David Blain Enters the Beyond—Mrs. Eva Lewis and Mrs. Will Clemons Leave for New Orleans—Funeral of Collin Thompson Largely Attended At Washington Street Street Church—K. of P.'s Celebrate. (By J. J. Amos, 1063 North 7th St.) Special to the Freeman time ago, in March 30 — Some time ago, a writer in one of the leading journals threw out a challenge to the Negro race as follows: The Negro has prospered in the past, and the statutes orators, financiers and other eminent characters, but it has lagged in the mater of preachers. The Negro is the greatest Negro preacher?“ Where is the man who, as a minister, scholar, reasoner, can sway the thousands and take his place as the great national leader?“ The writer and many others believe that that challenge is soon to be answered; that the one greatest leader is found; and it only requires the support of the Negro ministry and the Negro press in enabling him to reach the thousands and move them, to fully demonstrate The preacher to whom we refer is the Rev. R. A. Adams, D. D. a native Miss. of Kansas, and the Rev. Kans, who served for twenty years in the pastorate in the A. M. E. church and who, five years ago gave up that position during which time he has accomplished more in this time than ever accomplished in any other than any dozen other ministers. These claims are not based upon theories, but facts—stubborn facts—factors that work in the conduct of raising rival ministers conducting his own chants, planning and directing Rev. R. A. Adams his own campaigns, he has brought into the Kingdom of God nearly ten years, during which time he has labored in nearly twenty states and in nearly the large cities of the midwest. A few of the records are as follows: Illinois, 1,206; Kansas, 800; Missouri, 1,000; West Virginia, 666; and Ohio, 1,555. Some results in cities are: Kansas City, 1,000; West Virginia, 666; and Ohio, 1,555. The modern methods used, the use of the English language, the one hundred to five hundred, the clean reasoning strengthened by the natural southern paths and permeable soil, are features which unimpeachable use of the English language, are features which attracted the most attention, and many of those of the white race. It is now practically conceded that Dr. Adams will be elected to superintendent of the M. E. Church by the General Conference, which convenes in Philadelphia. Pa. in May. **Odd Fellows Looking Out.** It is not certain what the origin of the West Kentucky Lodge No. 2331, G. U. of. O. F., is negotiating for a new Odd Fellows' Day.

The Boston has the following to say of them: "Mrs. Maud Cuney Hare, lecturer and musician, was the author of the history of Afro-American music, in its illustration, of which she was assisted by Mr. Wm. H. Richardson, barrister, and was a simple man of speaking, combined with her artistic performance as a pianist, both in solo work and as an accompanist, won the admiration of many people. She is one of many people to hear these talented Afro-Americans at St. Paul's Monday night, and you may encourage your business for this engagement. Judge Chas. Kerr, has the door open at Liberty Baptist church, and lets Rev. R. H. Hill have services at the Liberty Baptist church on Goodlee street, scores another great point, when he joined the church for delivering the baccalaureate sermon of the public school, a sign was over the door of the church and a new lock on the door for forbidding his entrance. Hill joined the church with a clean sweep with his hypocrites, all of the choir members who danced were turned out of church. He consecutively moved to rowdy houses. There are two factions in the church, Simmons and Turner factions, is against Rev. Hill, while the other faction is against him. Rev. Hill won a decision over this same faction some few weeks ago. Rev. Hill declares he will supplant the church's keepers who are fighting him. He has a strong following and not afraid to speak the truth.

The fine art of making motion pictures has not been confined to a special people. This fact was proven last season, and the fact that a remarkable person, the splendid picture by the Peter P. Jones Film Company of Chicago were shown at the festival of which there were pictures of that remarkable character in keeping with the splendid spirit. These are so artistically colored people have been shown and which showed that they have a certain ability to cause feelings of the ability. Since then both the idea and ability have greatly improved. In fact, Peter P. Jones, the artist, is an industry. The great hall was a very successful place with the best that is being turned out anywhere. which booths presides cheer, happy faced women and men whose plush features and energetic personality are the splendid people of that remarkable character in keeping with the splendid spirit.

Since then both the idea and ability have greatly improved. In fact, Peter P. Jones, the artist, is an industry. The great hall was a very successful place with the best that is being turned out anywhere. Mr. Jones is a graduate photographer; he is a member of the American Museum of Natural History. He taken prizes in both art and this work. As a color artist he is listed with the best in the world. His work includes the Victoria Museum, the Jones was identified with the Victor Georg galleries; was also with Moffet; and of the development of the Museum studio. Beyond all of this almost matchless experience is the grand work which was thrown on the table to the view of the curious throngs. As for things that stand for the real and enduring, and for monuments of the past, the splendid buildings and spacious well-kept grounds of Tuskegee are the most inspiring. One thinks of all this scene as a memorial to the member of the race, and occupied by the race. Nothing like these scenes have been seen here before. The presentation is decidedly the Eighth Regiment scene. The dusky hued American sons, with their models, looking for the world, in their fine ensemble pose and pose as those classic, martial frieze which the ancient Greek and Roman architecture. A distinct feature of these pictures is where the troops are being renamed noisios, Col. Dennison and his staff of officers. Here the artist and his subjects seem to have been at their best, and the severest art critic would have been convinced and satisfied. This fine work was carried out in the 1930s in Cuba," and in the pleasing little drama which was supposed to have been enacted on that soil. In the playlet "Cuba," and in the little known to the moving picture art, Nothing was undone that tended to make a complete and satisfactory work. The colonel's daughter, "Luce," the captain who courted her and the major who loved her, left an impression on the memory owing to the faithfulness to the ways of men. It is a rare thing to see a major in a race as a rascal or a seconddral. As the story goes, Major Duplex was that, because, worsted in his love by Capitan, he was cut, the plot was clean cut, holding through in spite of the spirit of war that enveloped all. One gets a real glimpse with all of its possible horror. The Lincoln Jubilee Exposition is an opportunity to learn what was done in the past. I thought to have been the best held in memory of the fifty years of free speech and of revelation to all who did not have the pleasure of seeing the show as it was in Chicago. Everything shown was of richness and plenty, and over The comedy scenes are but another evidence of the versatility and ability of the comedian is funny, and which is not so, is when he has no lines to speak. His course is greatly assisted by the artist who must get the comedian right in his characters, and which must be assembled right and correctly photographed. Peter P. Jones has done all of this. Peter publicizes the sample of a number of movies the more phases of moving picture making become, and he becomes a hesitant in going to see the picture films, fine art value, thus reducing to the credit of the Negro artist. Mr. Jones films, rakes, admits of but little distinction between the races when considering similar lines. They stand also as repre sentation of management production speaks of the re-birth, situation, somewhat in answer to that origi nate of contempt and reflection known as the re-birth of a nation, the story of the ascent from life's fuse, to the Negroes fused and became with other people in the great melting pot, to show the ugly past; it is known well enough. The victories are the subject, leaving it to the dead past to burry its The management says that it has merely presents a beginning. It looks for opportunities. Our race profits largely by seeing white pictures, but there are many pictures of ourselves by ourselves. The tendency of ourselves to come from pictures of the race. Thing of it! A race will not amount to much if it has no ideals or "idols." The management of ourselves applauded and if they keep this up its mission will be as sure and certain as those of the church and school room.

(By Jack Trotter.) Special to The Freeman: NEW YORK CITY—At last the La-fayette theater has come back into its own life, it has the theatre to stood the brunt of severe criticism, weathered the frowns of public dislike and disapproval for ever so many arisen from the rut of colorless laborers, and the public oppose had placed it, and under the almost super-human powers of the new management has again been brought to a place of rest in comfortable peace and security. And all of this has happened through the remarkable direct appeal by the new management, put forth in the form of a brand new policy which stated the elimination of vaudeville and moving pictures, and the introduction of solely to the reproducing of the best and most successful plays in America and acted by the best aggregation of talent, time combined can bring together. To say that the beginning of the new policy under which the first play was made in the court in the Law) was a success, would so to speak be putting it a trifle moderate. It was an undressed riot! So well did the people take to this new policy, and the first performance was double that which attended the house under the old policy. And best of all is the patron's manner in which they tell their friends about it. In one day that enthusiastic audience has done more advertising of real worth than could have otherwise been done, and hundreds of dollars and weeks of time. NOTES FROM DANVILLE, VA.

America is a free country and therefore is everybody's country, and the only place upon American soil.

Death Claims One Who Has Been a Mother to Thousands of Performers. It was indeed a terrible surprise to the performers, living at the metropolitan Theatre, when, after the show, they returned to their lodgings and found their landlady, Mrs. Mary McCoy. The doctor said she was really dead, even after the doctor had pronounced her so. It did not seem real. It seemed that she was dead, but life's battle for her was over. She served dinner, as was her cus- tomer, an hour five o'clock, and apparently wanted to be alone. When her she had gone out, Later, while returning home, she was attacked by a man who was vomiting. She was hurried home and then summoned, but she died before her reached her side. These were her friends in the war. I will live until the doctor comes."

She never held anyone's always account of a board bill and would always head, and may the best you can; some day, and send it back to me. How many land-ladies we have got like that? God be merciful.

The Jolly Jokers Minstrels, home talent, gave an excellent performance March 15, at the Elm Street Theatre, for benefit of Methodist church.

It was under the leadership of four young men, who knew something of the theatrical business, and was composed of business, business manager; B. V. Armstead, secretary and treasurer; Charles Johnson, stage manager; George Randall, life and who did work to make it a success. The company was composed of sixteen live young men and each a live talent, and who did work to make it a success.

The $1 Theatre, S. A. (Buddie) Austin, producer and stage manager, is also the host of a show to turn the maway and the people of Atlanta are showing that they apply their skills to clean shows by filling the $1 Theatre on c'clock in the morning until 11 c'clock night, which is more than any other theatre in Atlanta can truthfully say. Mr. Bailey, the owner of the 81 Theatre, wishes to state that he had the time to satisfy a debt that was owed him by String Beans, the amount of money more managers would take these means of getting teirr money who was a lot better for both the manager and more managers. Mr. Bailey claims that he has got several actors out of jail who would run and such treatment has made it hard for actors that really need assistance. Beans claims that the other shows have been done since Buddie Austin has been producing for me which he has been done since weeks, writing two dramas each week, doing by another colored producer. If I should ever need a life saver for my children, I would long enough to book clean acts and not a bunch of smut. I have in my possession a bunch of legitimate performers head by head.

Sunday morning bright and early we vamposed on a slow train through the town. The company is composed of an aggregation of very capable enter- It has never been our pleasure to meet a more refined and talented group of musicians and players. All are artists on their respective instruments. They study continually and aspire to be more proficient in their music. The length of their engagement in this high class hostelry is the best possible recommendation. They have carefully selected from the master musicians carefully selected from the master musicians. Their fastidious appearance and modest deportment has won them innumerable friends amounting to more than 200 so long as the Hollden management desires this form of entertainment. The boys served J. Homer Tutt and yours truly with a savory luncheon in the grill at the Hollden festival. The singing is a program to be rendered by the players Sunday evening the 26th, at Zion church: 1.

The show is well equipped with the latest in technology, C. L. Erickson, who is bole owner, purchased a combination car which is about 80 feet long and one of the most beautiful cars in the leadership of Prof. Frank Moulton well pleases the public. Costumed in brand new uniforms consisting of long red coats and high silk hats, they pre- pared for the show. Watts of minstrel fame, is the princi- cal comedian, also stage manager and pro- sperer. Watts is really funny and gets the lion's share of applause. Mr. Edward Cohen is manager and Guy Erickson, brother of I. C. Erickson, are gentlemen and far different from the majority of managers, as they make themselves one of the boys. Other managers of the company will be mentioned later. NOTES FROM TRI CITY ORCHES TRA. FLORENCE ALA The Tri-City gave a social and entertainment at the Benevolent Hall last Friday night and had a very large crowd. Mr. L. Brewer has just got in his new supply of groceries and runs a first class uno-store store at 509 East Houston in honor to a host in hospital. He has seven couples that played cards and enjoyed themselves very much. Howard was married last Sunday to Miss Alice Brown, the daughter of Mrs. Mille Brown. Mr. R. B. Buckingham of 310 East Alabama street has houses to rent and rooms to rent. He dishes your trade at his grocery store. Mrs. Paulene Poole is sick at her home and the orchestra sends their regards to people in and out of the profession. LOMAX AND WATTS AT THE QUEEN AND HER BIRMING- MING. ALI ARABA Lomax & Watts, after spending a delightful time doing the Marda Gras in New Orleans, opened up at the New Orleans Jazz Club, the week of the 13th and met their best friends Marry & Seymour and Berry & Washington. It filled our hearts with joy and excitement, and friends and to hear the orchestra play Seymour & Marry's openings and to see how they have improved since we have last saw them. We must say they are amazing. The entire bill was good. Johnson & Baylor were also on the bill and are scoring them nightly. I will advise all acts playing the bass to correspond with the L. Lavage as they week weeks solid booking, and the biggest jump for a team is $3.20. He reminds us of Chintz & Elh More, who all unite when they pay you your salary. GRAND OPENING OF THE OHIO THEATRE, LOUISVILLE, KY. Clark Amusement Company, Proprietor, Joseph J. Jr., General Manager, Manager came the real scream of the bill, the one and only Johnne Woods, world's greatest ventriloquist. He is without a doubt in a class by himself. He was a complete scream. It was a laugh for every second he was on the stage. Miss Nina Mitchell was fourth on the bill and she was a decided hit. It is without a question of a doubt that Miss Mitchell is one of Americas most popular prima donna. Tim Moore and Miss Gertie Brown closed the bill and they were a riot from start to finish. It seemed as if the audience would go in to convulsions. It was a hard spot for Moore & Brown, but they easily got through. This show was pronounced by press and public to be one of the greatest shows ever seen in Louisville and Manager Clark deserves much credit. Mr. Clark knows exactly what the public wants and he says he intends to give it to them, both in vaudeville and pictures. The orchestra is under the direction of Prof. James Clark, Louisville's most popular pianist. He is assisted by John Emery, trombonist, and Lovey Taylor, drummer. Wm. Robinson is operator, J. Clark, Sr., stage manager, and Mary Lee Robinson is the ticket seller. THE ACTOR'S TROUBLES IN THE SOUTH. Why is it that the managers over the South will send acts into New Orleans and will not book any acts out. They can write to all the managers that they know and they won't answer first thing you can see, "Want all good acts to write," but they won't answer them. Some good acts are here and can not get out. Why are they here? here, but won't take any from here. There is always some misunderstanding. Some say that the Iroquois is a tribe that worked with the Temple but that the Temple is not so much. Some people who worked have not got their money yet. The time will come when they will work with the acts because if they are not able to get their money for their work they are unable to get out. Some says, "You can't pay your own way out!" Well, if you don't, you will never get out, and after you have paid the fare out of the pay you received, you can leave. The managers down here pay $35 to $40 for a team. A ticket for the nearest jump will cost you at least $11. So you see you have got to take that or you don't. If you don't take it one else will. M. J. BERT. SWQR Principal Corridor Bldg.

The enterprise of Manager Gibson of Gibson's New Standard Theater is appalled at the lack of that celebrated comedian, Sherman H. Dudley, assisted by W. H. Ramsey and his buddy, having their first appearance here since their return East from the Pacific coast, their reception was something in the nature of a "Welcome home," buddy of the mule him this trip. Sylvester Russell says: "Folks said he had a mule Arent worth a penny. This. This. This. Plenty of amusing routine. Ramsey has a voice that is of sentimental quality and the opportunities arising for him are endless. Ramsey sings: "My Mother's Rosary." Dudley is seen at his best and is well supported by the leading straight man in his Smart Set Co. Dudley sang: "He's My Cousin if I were a dog."

Miss Shadney and Mills with an ability to Harbor Hairy and Mills with an ability to make faces smile, found a welcome. Pete and Turner, Pete and Turner, dance and percussion and are a w able asset to the bill. Billy King and Company rounded out the show in a wonderful comedy, "Mis Uobody's Hotel," which is at its best a tenuous tsk, that is agreeable rather than pointed, and agreeable rather than effect. However, it is a diverting piece, and, played as it is by an ex- entertaining purpose. This farce gives Billy King, who is the greatest Negro character artist on the American stage of the family to encounter another one of his funniest characters. His Organ Grinder." His work and makeup are especially inspired. In this in- pantomime and jargon to portray the annoyance that noise was to him in the hostelry where he and his mon- pants were dressed.

Gilbert refused to ac cept money because he does not wis! to be classed as a professional. The ‘Twenty-ftth secured nine out of the possible eleven points in the 100-yard dash.
