King Emily Darktown journal face face which that last season comedies and plays even draw bigger this season, which that last season comedies and plays even draw bigger this season, where Billy King an old-time gentleman, incidentally meets a pretty lady reporter on the street and follows her, who buys out the establishment between numerous complications, which offer generous amusements and also sang "In My Place of Business," with greater effect than ever. Howard Kelby out, was good but over dignified and too handsome for the part. Georgia Kelly intohosh, as the indignant woman who came to whip the editor, was a nice scene for both of the stars. Estelle Walker unusual. Billy Walker, who was made up similar to the last play, was good and Gertrude Saunders presented. White vaudeville acts presented Edgar & balel several feet away. Frank & May, who their real names, were good juggernauts, but lesslessly. Lewis & Chapin, in an apogetic odd humor act, which moved slow, could have been better, as both are good dancers and the man a good STRAINE & BAILEY'S COMEDY CO AT NEW MONOGRAM. Tim Moore Furnishes Fun. "Mose's Entrance Into Society," in short, was a real musical comedy and would have been completely legitimate the step of the play to himself in the scene instead of to the audience, but Elwood Brown was an good Strainer as the date was good. Gertrude Brown were both satisfactory. Elwood Brown was an excellent singer and dancer, was fair as the waiter. There was a good singing chorus and the music was all rich. Josie Graham, Littleton, Edna Young are also with the show. Billy Mills in "The Stranded Actor" At the Monogram Everybody knows that Billy Mills is one of the funny black face comedians and as the soft fellow who gave all his away to pretty girls, furried and furious, he gave a farce comedy of small stage amusement. The people in support were Maud Freibey and Lena Wilson, who were the stars of the show. Cross was a good straight, and Clarence Greer, who had a cold and had to omit his tenor solo, did well in a rover's character. Flossy Cross and Dana Wiley, a good pianist leader, were inclusive.

In announcing the booking of "Who's Guilty?" for fourteen weeks at this popular theatre, Mr. C. H. Douglass, cured for his patrons the best film attraction that money can buy. The first chapter, "Puppets of Fate," it destined to be the prize attraction in the shadow world, and is likely that The Douglass will be jammed and crammed throughout the film's long engagement. It will be at this house, "Graft," "The Iron Claw," and "Peg o' the Ring." Each day's offerings include gripping dramas and films that will not permit the subjects and players.

Va., a nice mining town, and the natives will welcome us back as this was one of our first towns out last season. Our opening was a grand success at Salsbury, N. C., April 19, as the weather was fair, but just a little crisp in the morning. Everywhere you look about the show you can see an improvement over duction and in every way worthy of the great leader and scholar, as well as the man who is given in five scenes and thirteen episodes. 1,078 persons, men, women and children. There are 27 musical numbers. The special music was written or composed by the choir. Selections were also sung from the compositions of S. Colin Campbell and James Johnson. Will Marion Cook.

The chief prays to the Thunder God in the Black Rock and offers the blood sacrifice of a child. Shange, the Thunder God, opposes summons Ethiopia. He hands her the Star of Faith. Ethiopia approaches the savages. They, lifting up earth to the Star, discard the ring. They dance and build in joy. Finally they start on a great foray to kill and tame the wild beasts. Scene 2. The Dream of Egypt, Egyptian mulattos, by attacking the star, destroy a beautiful temple. The Kushites return in triumph from their hunt; they discover the Egyptians and prepare to attack them. The priests bol of a common religion. The chief is chosen Pahroah. The new Pharaoh weds an Egyptian princess. Ethiopia returns to Egypt. The Pharaoh bol of the Thunder God, who leads all back to central forests of Africa. Scene 4 shows the slaves on the slave ships surrounded by the ghosts of Slavey. The slaves are surrounded by Oceanea, a voke of slavery. Osceola, an Indian, revolts against slavery on account of his Negro wife but the slaves dare to fight in vain, until John Brown throws a flaming torch on the Black Rock, where Ethiopia lies buried. He falls dead but angles arise and sing Ethiopia songs. He is killed by Negro Christianity conducts the great march of Freedom. Nat Turner leads in the furies of insurrection.

I want only people that have a reputation on the stage and that are extraordinarily good. I will be glad to explain further my great proposition in this new movie adventure, you will be very glad indeed to offer you a job with our company if you are capable of handling the end of the company that I am in hopes you are, and you will be from you at your earliest opportunity.

We are carrying three new cars and a number of business and a bright clean performance. Mr. Sparks put on a special car for his family and it is a thing of beauty and in so doing, he is the funder, as the quarters for the people are as good as the best. Mr. A. Wright has the quarters for his band and shows it on the road, as Mr. Sparks fixed up the end of his last year's sleep- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. METROPOLITAN THEATER, MEMPHIS, TENN. (By E. Klemon Anderson.) Magnificent in the splendid, gorgeous costumes and with a bevy of pretty girl Bruce Currie, the company is more than Monday evening. Man to one of the most intelligent, enthusiastic and appreciative audiences ever seen, the company is the extreme advance advertising given out by the manager, Mr. A. Barasso, and the good impression made by the company. The display of the company which was evidence a week before the appearance of the company, caused Memphis theater-goers to watch and await the appearance of this splendid company of players. On the opening night no one was disappointed, the course was tracked to the city, the S. R. being displayed one hour and ten minutes before the curtain went up. After the first night's performance, the company was "ing" for the company as everybody who saw the show became a walking talking advertisement, being so well pleased with this exceptional com- "King Rastus" Brown is storming the house at each performance with his trademarkly can dance, and is indesfatigable in it, seeming to enjoy it as much as the clowns. This year's offering is a three-act comedy entitled, "The Grocery Store," another of Mr. Bruce's creations. Mr. Bruce is the star, while the comedy is being dispensed by Bruce and Harris. "The Grocery Store" is going big, the musical number well trained chorus, under the direction of Mr. B. E. Edwards, are up to applause. Mr. Edwards deserves much credit for his accomplishment in the second to none and with few equals. The company is being shown many social courtesies during their engagement here, and we regret very much leave, but as their future, booking them up with a hopes of a return engagement as soon as they can give it to us. The release cashier, Mrs. Inetz Jades, says it is a pleasure to sell tickets for a show like Bruce and Bruce, even if there is a little more love she has her a smile with their admission. Mr. A. Barrasso is as proud of this company as a little boy is of his first pair of "red top" boots—he is all smiles. Mr. Masby Wilson, head usher, and Mr. James Higgitt, house policeman, say the never-before seen crowds to look after before. We are looking forward for another rebound—breaker, "The Musical Millers," soon. An orchestra under the direction of Professor Parker, violin; John Dunn, cornet; Alex Valentine, trombone; Will Towns, clarinet and Sam Baker, drum; is "out the door." K. Anderson, assistant manager and critic, has just returned from a tour of the East and middle West, where he visited all the theaters on the circuit. From J. H. Maloney's Model Mobile Minstrels. Well, we are in the state of North Carolina and we now have the warm weather. No more overcools but palm beaches instead. The show is moving smooth and making money and that's what pleases the musician and makes the ghost walk every Sunday. R. J. Anderson with us some few weeks past and he is a strong improvement both in band and orchestra. Mrs. Hattie Moore, wife of Mr. Billy Moore, our trumpet player, joined us as Messrs. C. and S. Moore with the Mobile Minstrels but she has seen the foot-lights before. She comes on stage and she acts with say more of her next week. Mabel Davenport has joined hands with that funny little comedian, Happy Jack Furgerson, and they have an act that pleases the show-goers people. Say, boys, we have got some baseball 'em. Here are a few stars of the team: Buddy Glenn, captain; Blue Steel, manager; Jas. Crosby, treasurer; Rustus Mitcher; Rastus Jenkins, catcher; Julius Pollock, center field; Happy Jack Furguson, right field; Blue Steel, first field; Henry James, Billy Moore; short stop; Henry James, left field; John Ringland, third base. We have just received our new maroon suits, trimmed in white with yellow lining, and we have a nice showout. We have only played two games this season, one at Maxton, N. C., and one at Red Springs, N. C. (the two games are to Red Springs, sec. 10 to 11). We are pleased to say that all are fairly well and send best wishes to J. C. O'Brien's No. 1 and No. 2 Georgia Minstrels. Mr. Mahoney, our manager is using precaution in making the Mobile Minstrels the best tented show on the road. We are very proud of Crosby, uses every effort in his power to keep the program up to the time with new songs and new jokes and we are in saying that we are second to none. Jenkins and Jenkins are going nicely. Blue Steel and Blue Steel never are doing fine in their particular lines. Of course you who read know that James Crosby is doing a monologue in over every night with a vim. Crosby sends regards to Jesse Reeves and Will Baynard. Keep up, old pallies, Mrs. Mahoney and her little daughter, Maurine, and mine, Mr. Mahoney, many friends through North Carolina and other states where they have been. Mr. Mahoney, a member of Mahoney Minis, threw from the wagons in Smithfield, N. C.
