Fifteen nations of Europe and Asia are fighting the world's greatest war a war which strikes at the vitals of the world's most vulnerable people struggle. Whatever the outcome, national life or death will be the award in the final reckoning. Whoever the Negro in America has been fighting the fight for existence as a race. Enemies have assailed, friends have aided. It is to be regretted that the former have been taken down and the latter too quickly forgotten. Lincoln and Brown and Garrison of the past have fought for the Negro in America, and they have been reward. They are dead, and by many forgotten. In this, the second decade of the twentieth century, the Negro is not without his champions, who are fighting unselfishly, manfully and without reward. in the city of Indianapolis, in the state of Indiana, in the plains, who are ever ready to give a INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1916. —Lynoh in Rocky Mountain News listingen ear or a helping hand to any deserving plea for help. This number is one who has always been ready with the listening ear and the helping hand, and many Negroes with memories refreshed can personally recall, you have been given a job that did not meet with a rebuff. Has he helped your church, has he paid your rent, has he loaned you money you have been given employment and furnished you the means of making a livelihood, has he "been there" when you was out and doing your job. You who have lived in this city for twenty years or more, do you recall the ever-present smile, the hearty smile, the helping hand of your fellow citizen and friend, Senator Thomas Taggart? The time will soon come when you will be given your appreciation for what he has done for you or for your race. Are you not willing to give a hearty response? expect that every thought and observant Negro voter, who knows the real worth of a true friend, will seize the opportunity of his knowledge and evidence of his appreciation of such a friend as Senator Thomas Taggart, for all these who has shown himself to be of the Negro. F. A. STOKES, In the Indianapolis Star. SENATOR THOMAS TAGGART THE COLORED MAN'S FRIEND. I believe in a fair and a square deal for every man, irrespective of other conditions. A few evenings ago I listened to an unfair and an unjust attack by Henry Lincoln Johnson, a colored citizen of Atlanta, Ga., upon the Hon. Thomas Taggart of this city, who both as a citizen here and a senator at Washington has shown himself a consistent friend of the colored people of this country. For any politician, white or black, to come to Indiana and make an attack upon Mr. Taggart and his attitude toward the colored people, is to say the least foolhardy. The fair-minded, conservative, intelligent voter resents the slander. What I say for Mr. Taggart I say just as truly for the Hon. Harry S. New, candidate for the United States senatorship, who has given his able and loyal support to every worthy cause and effort of the colored people in this city and state. When a negro-hating Democrat introduced in the house of representatives a bill barring the further enlistment of colored men in the United States army and navy, Mr. Taggart opposed that unjust measure by calling the attention of the secretary of war to it and getting his assent, and that it would have the support of that department. Where were our Republican champions? Will Mr. Johnson dare affirm that all of the negro haters in this country are in the Democratic party? The truth is the colored race has friends and enemies in all of the parties and in sections of this country. In the United States, the do-not-signize this fact and deal with it in its merit is unworthy of the friendship of anybody. The bringing of Mr. Johnson here by the Republican party is in keeping with its unjust attitude toward the colored voters of the North. Mr. Johnson is a Southern gentleman without a vote, a mere consumer of谷物, a man of the most unfallable of the Colored men of the North. The Republican bosses may yet learn that it is at least good politics to consult and to reward the colored men of the North, especially when their suffrage is in question. That suffrage does not take kindly to the dictatorship of men like Mr. Johnson and it certainly resents his slander of the men here who have proved their friendship to the col-ored people.

Announcement of a big feature photoplay dealing with the Negro, to be produced with a Race Photo-play Corporation, in association with the Selig Polyscope Company, will be of interest to the colored race, inasmuch as the heralds of the company assure the public that the new picture will be "without prejudice—produced in the spirit of fact not fiction, sweetness not bitterness." The scenario for this new twelve-reel production has been entrusted to the hands of Emmett J. Scott, for eighteen years secretary to the late Booker T. Washington, and Geo. Frederic Wheeler, formerly with Triangle Film Corporation. The general supervision will be in charge of Edwin L. Banker who is well known in literary and dormitory picture circles. The photoplay will have for its foundation Booker T. Washington's autobiography "Up From Slavery," and through it will sound a note of racial understanding and helpfulness, which should go far in counteracting the note of animosity and discouragement caused by pernicious pictures now being exhibited. The project is being supported by the leading men and women of the country, and should have the heart of a country. PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY—SIX MONTHS, 85c; ONE YEAR, $1.50.

With considerable anxiety the people await President Wilson's next move. The Negroes of this country will find it necessary to work out their destiny by whatsoever means. Because an individual is of a different party they should not hold that as an objection to which they cannot overcome. Senator Thomas Taggart has held the hand of what is considered the opposition. He concedes that for which the race is fighting—a common citizenship. His efforts should be thoroughly appreciated by every Negro in the country. Garrett A. Morgan, Colored, of Cleveland, O., is coming in for much praise for his heroism in the rescue work owing to the recent tunnel horror in that city. Many lives were lost, but the toll would have been greater had it not been for Mr. Morgan and a few assistants who rallied about him. Fortunately he had invented a safety hood to be used in the case of such happenings. The news of Mr. Morgan's heroism has reached the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, a representative of which having already called on him, and who was favorably impressed with his work, suggesting the presence of a guard and a malfunction of equipment and a malfunction. So in various ways our race is becoming entwined in the affairs of the country; it is found doing good as others are doing good, thus clearly establishing a right of existence through merit and value. An automobile in the parade on Friday of last week we think, passed without much comment. It was in somber colors and plain furnishings. The occupants were notably plain. The women wore those old-fashioned poke bonnets, void of all gayety. Their other clothing was in dark colors. The men wore medium tall black hats. They were in drab colors or something similar. It was easy to see that they stood for Quakers. The label read: "Fountain County, terminal of the underground railroad." It all appeared so insignificant. Doubtless it appealed to but very few people. The thousands of children had no conception of what it meant, excepting, perhaps, the older ones who know that history. It was where we were. No Negroes, came in, in that memorable parade. That county was the end of the line, the department receiving runaway slave rafters. The South. And as if by coercion it was given those weak, innocent-looking people to play one of the fiercest parts in the history of slavery in America. And they played it without fear or alarm holding it an abomination that man should be seriously subjected to man. And we were not forgotten in that glorious assembly. It was a lesson in hope and inspiration. In the language of Mr. Ingersoll, the past arose before us like a dream. That sweet, mild mannered sect seems to be withdrawing from the activities of men in these days. And to be romantic, yea, dramatic. It may be that they have played their part as planned from the beginning, and having no further mission are dropping out of the world's cast—and with lingering adieu. "Tis sweet to be remembered," somebody said. IS HE SINCERE? The Fraternal Informer of Philadelphia rises to ask is Charles Evans Hughes sincere? We cannot see why he should be thus questioned. At Nashville, Tennessee, he said when addressing Colored men: "You ask no special privilege because you are Colored men, and by the same token there shall be no discrimination against you because you are Colored men." The Informer does not think Mr. Hughes has said enough. What more could he have said? If Mr. Hughes lives up to the content of that simple statement, no more could justly be expected of him. That publication in commenting on what he said had this: "Now, from time immemorial, when the candidate for the President has been asked to question the question of Negro suffrage and treatment of the Colored man in the Southland as to lynching, the proposers have met with evasive replies," and the Negro has been left in the cold, cooling his heels running from his oppressors." We are not willing to burden Mr. Hughes or any other candidate with the responsibility of lynchings. It is a very elusive evil, consequently difficult to deal with because it is elusive and because it is no more or less than other crimes of murder, whether done singly or collectively, and because when a Colored person is lynched it is usually held to be a part of the race question, a thing which no man holds brief as to settlement. We wish Mr. Hughes to follow in the line of his Republican predecessors in event of his election. It is true some of the platforms of the party of former days had something to say on such disorders, also some of the addresses to Congress. They were followed with no effect, succeeding merely in divorcing many white Republicans who became convinced that serious phases of the party questioned or outdid outside of party lines. A special plea for Negroes became irritable not alone to white men but to thoughtful Negroes who began to see the necessity of proceeding the long, but sure way, of reaching the affections of the people. When Mr. Hughes assures us that he will stand for the essentials of citizenship, one of which is in opposition to segregation, he has gone his limit. Thoughtful Negroes know the extent of the executive's ability in such matters, consequently it is unfair to hold him to some ideal which would permit light of a fire or a demagogue if he Mr. Wilson promised, but did not perform. He permitted a violent interruption of the commonality of citizenship right under his nose and which he could have saved by merely raising his hands. We do not expect the same of Mr. Hughes. FESTIVITIES' "THROES." Indianapolis is yet in the "throes" of festivity, still celebrating the one hundred years of Indiana's statehood. This, the second week, is full with features and as entertaining, attractive and informing as those of last week. Perhaps the gala day of last week was last Friday, County Day, when the ninety-two counties of the state were represented in the parade. Without doubt the piece de resistance of that parade was the cavalcade of ladies—ninety-two—mounted on horses. It would be a very long story that did justice to that scene. It carried back to the days of knighthood, to King Arthur, the Holy Grail, to those periods of which Tennyson, Cervantes, Sir Walter Scott and others discoursed so knowingly. There was evidence that the dames, many of them, were up on chivalric lore, even back to antiquated Chaucer. Knight and squire alone were missing. Had these been there we would have had a repose all the ages. Ancient Greece and Rome were often seen by that loose-wearing tunic and simple, and the beauty was the great reason for its existence. We mean that tunic are for the beautiful, because they are so simple, requiring the complement of beautiful nature. The richer vestment represented the flowering of other ages—a splendid variety which fairly illumined the route of march. Horses and riders were bright and sheen with silk, satin and velvet and other material glimmering in the sun of that most perfect day. Nothing prettier could be more imaginable than these ladies, a dream cavalcade enroute to the tournament, as it were. Each lady and horse were a study; and they were studied most attentively. They moved slowly that the eager eyes might drink them in sufficiently. Most of them were attended by a groomsman, but there were those who were acquainted with horses, had their own mounts, and gave evidence of their acquaintance with them. Hearts were in accord along the route. Children were enraptured to see this vivid page torn from their body. They exhibited their approval of all it, for they love the transcendent beautiful—the unattainable—since their dreams came true. Men and women were also enchanted, held in a smell by the hour's witchery. Emphasizing the beauty and import of the parade were the presence of former President Taft and Governor Ralston. also other distinguished per sonages from all parts of the state where he were hailed with appropriate acclaim. The county represented by floats, decorated automobiles, and so forth, was the other stand-out feature. Here also was evidence of a variety of thought, making for a varied beauty of the total representation. Some of the floats were especially beautiful, no exaggeration, but insignificant. So most of them were symbolical, standing for ideas ancient and modern, a virtual renaissance, taking it all and of the world in literature, art and the industries. THE STRUGGLE TO RISE The struggle of the Negro race to rise is more than a party struggle. Of course, more is to be gained through adherence to large bodies of voters than through lesser bodies and single individuals when such bodies stand for the desired policies. The natural inclination of all men is to rise. Very rarely do individuals forget the means of their deliverance from oppression. We say this and yet we know at the same time that there is a universal disposition on the part of men to get away from obligations. This is particularly true among enlightened peoples, making the things of physical and spiritual slavery unthinkable as it concerns themselves, respectively. In other words, if men find a self-imposed voke as we may call it, scarcely bear- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER able, how much more difficult do they find it to bear the impositions of others With the ruling disposition of men to chafe under bonds of any kind we still find men and sets of men who are perfectly satisfied to see others burdened, knowing at the same time that they would not rest contented under similar restraints. This is why the Democratic party is so illogical in appealing to Negro voters. This is the reason that the Republican party of itself best recommends itself to the Negroes and to the highest intellectual and spiritually developed classes. Mankind is ever trying to wobble right. Everything that makes for the best manhood by way of teaching makes for this condition—to wobble right. Nothing by way of moral precept from the best thought or from God's own word approves of any relationship between men other than that of the broadest toleration and which is so often preached about under the head of brotherly love. As a party the Republicans stand for most as it concerns citizenship. Not that they as a party are ideal, since they stand by and see much civil wrong without raising even their eyes by way of protest. And as individuals there is but little difference between Republicans and Democrats of their respective sections. But the Negroes are in the attitude of drowning men grasping straws. The Republicans as a party is their best hope, and will ever be until some other greater party by way of numbers and brains comes to the front. It is no more than following the law of self-preservation and which all things animate follow, whether man or brute. The law is automatic, so to speak, self-governing, and we cannot escape any more. We must be vigilant, we shrink instinctively from terror or that which would destroy. The same theory holds in politics, throwing men from groups where are bound up harm, and to those groups that best answer their views of safety. Many Negroes had great hopes in the Progressive party; they saw it as God-send, and because neither of the older and greater parties answered fully their demands; one being more or less indifferent, the other being wholly indifferent and more or less obstructive. They saw in Mr. Roosevelt a new Abraham Lincoln who came for the other emancipation, which meant as they viewed it, that freedom that is the subject of resolutions in the conventions of Negro citizens. It was that undominated force which is resident in all men, as we have said, to rise, to reach the heights of other men, that they sought the new party, thinking that the day of the rise in their civil fortunes was at hand. But the Progressive party is no more, at least for the present. It has not the elements of resurrection, nor did it ever have. It was a political passion, and promising and beautiful as passion generally is, and but for a short period likewise. In coming back to the Republican party the Negroes have done the only thing left for them to do. The Democratic party offers the Negroes a stone, if it offers anything at all. It is too capable of mischief for Negroes, and too narrow as a national proposition for the educated masses who are more or less schooled in civil morals, meaning that they know too well the rule of the civil virtue to ever depart too greatly from it. Solomon said, train a child the way it should go in its youth and then it is old it will not depart it. The Negroic party's principle is practically the race question is trying to it, but somehow it manages to keep out of the anti-Negro law-making business, which business, together with other things, are the unjust impositions of men, and whose slavish tendency the Negroes try to escape, and who must ever try in answer to their nature to go forward. The struggle of the race to rise is not merely a party struggle. To rise through parties if possible, through the Progressive party if possible—through the Democratic party if possible—through the individuals of any or all of these if possible. For instance, in this state, Indiana, we have a Democratic Senator who makes a stand the Negro soldiers and his Representation efforts in behalf of the Negroes in the state is not questioned. He stands squares for the things that we, the Negroes, are fighting for. And yet, because of these political days we find some of us who in their zeal to serve the party have been careless about this avowed friendship. A friend in need is one indeed, is a very apt saying. We have been hounding Senator Tillman ever since he entered the Senate, and we have finally won a Democratic friend in that body who has the nerve to say, "I object." What will we do with him? Perhaps no other Democrat than Senator Taggart in the history of the United States since the Civil War, has openly and boldly challenged an expressed anti-Negro sentiment in that body or in either house. Some see designs in his stand—merely seeking election, they say; and thus impugging his motive they invite opposition through distrust, when his word is given and as any man gives his word. Many, however, take Mr. Taggart at his word. They are too well acquainted with white men to refuse friendship when offered. It is very good politics to have a strong Democratic friend in high places. President Wilson promised everything reasonable and our race fell for it; it got the stony stare, Mr. Taggart promised nothing. His appointment was not influenced through prospective favor of the race. Yet he stood up for the big governmental principles which he sailed. He is Senator; he is rich and powerful; he is doubted leader of India. Powerability, and a national force. Where will we turn for another of his kind? He stands for the Senate as Mr. Wilson stands for the Presidency. Is not Senator Thomas Taggart worth considering? Is he not an asset in the struggle to rise? 'HURRAH! HURRAH! AT LAST!

JACK TROTTER'S NEW YORK NOTES OF STAGE AND SPORT NEW LINCOLN THEATRE'S STOCK COMPANY OF COLORED PLAYERS MAKES A "BIG HIT" IN THEIR FIRST PRODUCTION OF DRAMA. The last line written by the last critic will announce that the "Country Boy"—the New Lincoln Theatre's first dramatic venture of the season—was a success with a capital S. The production with its beautifully odd but genuinely human story which tells about the heart affairs of a perfectly likable "Country Boy" who, feeling the call of a great city, departs forthwith to acquire some of its worldly goods. It tells of his failures and triumphs, of his miserableness and of his happiness. The play is far more interesting than a strongly written novel, for the reason that the chapters are unfolded by the action of human characters who are all very realistic. C. Creighton Thompson, as the boy from the country, lends a bit of clean wholesomeness in his portrayal which grips and holds you throughout the entire four acts of laughing, tearful developments. Miss Lillyn Browne, the clever and popular little comediene, was an able support to Mr. Thompson, as Jane Belknap, his sweetheart, and rendered a beautiful portrayal of a lovely and unaffected country girl, whose love for her sweetheart could not be dimmed through any forces or circumstances. Miss Ardelle Mitchell Taylor, Miss Evelyn Ellis, Mr. Jim Burris, Mr. Anthony D. Byrd and the rest of the company deserves special mention for the really great manner in which they presented their respective parts, for without them this play would have hardly attained the success which marked its appearance from the first day. PLAYERS WHO MADE SUCH A BIG SUCCESS IN MADAM X. ARE IN "THE CONSPIRACY," AT THE LAFAYETTE THIS WEEK. The big play-successes that are being produced at the Lafayette Playhouse by the Quality Amusement Company's All-Star Colored players are continuing to draw extraordinary but merited patronage from the residents of the city. As has always been the management's programme since its first attempt in the field of dramatics, the beautiful fifteen-hundred-seat playhouse is presenting this week the powerful production of Messrs. John Emerson and Robert Baker, called "THE CONSPIRACY." The same company which scored such a tremendous triumph with the production of "MADAM X." is cast in this week's show. The play itself is another serious effort made by serious writers to depict in a forceful and truthful way "big city life." There is much in the play that keeps its auditors only a moment from a laugh or a sob. The players, one and all alike, were as real in their presentations of characters as human beings could have possibly been. The success already achieved by the Quality Amusement Corporation in its business of presenting "drama" enacted by Colored players in such cities as New York, Baltimore, Md., and Washington, D. C., is only a pinhead in size when compared with the gigantic plans of this great enterprise to establish companies of the same kind and calibre to extend its work of educational theatricals in many of the important cities throughout the United States. The cast for this week's play, "The Conspiracy," is composed of the following people: following people: WINTROP CLAVERING.....TOM BROWN JACK HOWELL.....WALKER THOMPSON SAMUEL SHIPMAN.....E. E.

Venable and Clifford, the clever novelty act, repeated the success at the Lafayette Theatre on last Sunday night that they made a week ago at The New Lincoln. A. G. Brooks, in an act of doing something resembling something else, such as imitations of sounds and ventrilolquism, was an interesting feature on last Sunday night's bill at the Lafayette Theatre. Bennie Payton has, with the assistance of Leon Williams, made up a minstrel show extraordinary to play in the "rich" folks villages of Jersey state. The performers forming the cast are: John A. Woods, Gaines Vaughner, Floyd & Beaman, Bozant & Granger, Tom Fletcher, Little Jeff, Jack Thornton, Eddie Gray, the famous tenor and composer, and Leon Williams, manager. Frank Montgomery, of the trio Montgomery, McClain and Glenn, has just completed his work of staging a big musical comedy production called "The Frolics of 1917." This show represents the number of six that Mr. Montgomery has arranged the dances for and staged this summer. The others being: "Hello Girls," "Lady Buccaneers," "Girls From the Frolics," "Greeves & Dixon's Revue," and "The High Life Girls." Reese Dupree, the singing cabaret, brought to Sunday night vaudeville at the Lafayette Theatre some of the politest yet popular, cleanest yet richest store of songs and singing that have been presented in this house in many a day. And he had with him for an accompanist Lester Wilson, who, as a tickler of the black and white ivories, compares inch to inch with many of the best that we have seen in variety. "The Misery" which Mr. Wilson executes, half in its regular measure and the other half in ragtime, pleased his auditors so greatly that he had to respond to two encores. The numbers sung by Mr. Dupree were: "The Call of Dixie Land," "Batchelor Days," "Honolulu Blues" (words and music by the accompanist, Lester Wilson), and "Walking the Dog."

Enoch the "Fish Man" was the world's best-made film. A small number of the audience's satisfaction of the audiences which are so much more humorous, and, as is well known, are, as is more water besides doing a number of the other films. It contains the main data, including remaining under water three minutes and the more of the data. Stamper and James, in songs and dances, made many. Miss James gave the good and good information to the new friends, which was heartily encored. Floyd and Beman as the "Butler and the book" with "nifty, nonsense, and good" and "not only for the good and good to be able and evering, which pleased. The Whitman sisters in their books were produced by You Miss Goo to the Front. They're all good and good of entertainers and the act was much, liked. The excellent arrangement of the film also the most important of the scenic surroundings alike aided in bringing the entire of the film. The film was the most popular of the enthusiasm proves that a good act and good players are keenly appreciate. The "Wash the" needs to be so unclogizing. It is one of the most on-the-air and two scenes are full of action. The film is the most popular of the film and the fascinate the attention and kindle the imagination. The cast includes Leigh McBride and James, the new feathers and eleven others, Johnnie Peterson and help others who fill in minor parts and help the entertainment. Those are all the most exacting the call. Emma Michaels, the leading director of the film, was at the time and playing. As Mrs. Walton, she was with captivating skill, transformed her personality an appropriate role in this story. It has been a natural test for the characters as splendidly as she did in this, one may predict for her as a population of a Philadelphia. Her voice was flung up. Whitner, the leading man, has the qualification for successful acting in any of the films. The film was the most important of the plot as depicted represents Mr. Walton's home. Mr. Walton, a family member of the film, has his home furnished magnificently. His wife, of course, is one of the leading families in the town and entertains lavallers. During the term of her cells his wife has been sent for a bl relatives in the South to be and live with them.

And points to the man who says "if you don't like my style, the way out." arrive (Johnnie Peterson as the old woman, Frank Johnson as the old man) is the first step in the relationship child. They are a typical trio and take you back to ante-bellum days, their juggeras, including chickens, pigs, and poultry and the poultry of the parlor. Imagine the consternation of the society wife. In the meantime they have to have the South and the wife's folks insist that she send for them and bring them to the home. They have been appeals to her husband, he tells he spent all he had in bringing up his folks, that she should go to he friends. In the meantime Mr. Walton is despised father, overhearing her ap- rescue with money he had saved while in the South. Every one becomes reconciled and it is once more a happy one. Mr. Walton is always an uninjured by singing "Bye and Bye," with a refrain and shuffle by the entire commoner. He has a very long and so-called as this theater, has returned from her summer vacation. Every young welcomed the back. She is quite a favorite with the house. She is always because she understands her business and everything moves with that precision and the time they may feel home. She is a valuable asset and deserves everything she gets. ALEXANDER TOLLIVER'S BIG SHOW. We are still in the state of China, China. The week of October 2 was played in Charlotte, N.

Dramatic Editor The Indianapolis Freeman. Dear Sir: As there has been an article sent into the office of Mrs. Dora Patterson-Freeman's funner service and we have not seen it in your paper, and we professionals, what few who were in Detroit at the time gave her a nice flower tribute and from the article I read in the paper of week before last, did not read as if she had any friends except Miss Laura Baily. But that is a big mistake. She had a good husband and he put her away nicely, as she was insured, and Mrs. Baily was well paid for her room as Mrs. Patterson-Freeman roomed with Mrs. Baily a short time before she died. She had more, too Mrs. Barnett, 272 Gratiot avenue, Detroit. STAGE GOSSIP J.R. DAVIDSON STAGE NOTES. Silk Bates is in Indianapolis, after a trip South. Would like to hear from friends.

Dewarman Niles is now the talk of Memphis. He appeared last week at the bristolton Theatre and was the headliner. Beyond all doubt, he is the greatest known today. It is a pity that his esteemed talent as this has been kind of shows where it is just given away. He does not know his value. While he has several diamonds, which denotes prosperity, yet he should be and is worthy of being featured with higher class shows. Speaking of this scientific one artist, he is made of art, skill and grace. Most pleasing in personality, an artist in his particular line, standing at the top of his profession without a like or equal. There were people to turn out last week to see him who never attend theatres. Niles is quite a drawing card, and is truly incomparable, for since the days of Marsh Craig there is not a contortionist known that can compare with him. The way he bends, dislocates his joints and twists his body, is seemingly impossible and is wonderful to see. Anyone who pays admission to see Dewayman Niles will see their money's worth. This week he is a special feature at the Colored Tri-State Fair. STRING BEANS AND BENROW In Their Musical Comedy Company at the Washington Theatre, Indianapolis—Crowding Them in as Usual. The String Beans-Benbow attraction, playing this week at the Washington Theatre, will be one of tests. Its, this third appearance during the limited season of this house, removes all doubt as to its being the popular musical still playing before Colored audiences. It must be admitted that Beans' popularity has much to do with this. How- BABY BENBOW. ever, there are other good, successful players in the bunch. Baby Benbow is a dream girl of a performer, who pleases all that see and hear, who pleases, noted for pretty deeds and prances, a manner also makes a hit in everything she renders.

Peat is well known and popular to the patrons of this house. He is a man of great intellect, and some parts of his work. His jokes were big hits, even if they were not all new. His stump speech also went big. His stage capers brought down the Ethel Hudson. Miss Hudson, who is assisting String beans, goes good stage personality and pleasing audience, and pleasing songs she sings. "Walking the Dog," she sings, a most pleasing feature of the show.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW By Sylvester Russell ANITA PATTI BROWN AT BETHEL Sings Sellika, Marguerita and Lucia in Character Scenes From the Operas in Costumes-Scores A. E. Shure and additional and gallery were both full last year's day evening week, October 5th, when I entered at 8:30 p.m. to hear Madam Brown's show on the general 东坡礼场 received seat which the distinguished diva had ordained for special occupations. The man was to the other part of the literal public. I hadn't time to stay but lingered to hear the opera I sighed for Boston, Gotham or Quak-man's show. I had a good place to see grand opera and understand it better than they do in the Windy City stage. I was not more patient of how I was with the exception of the class of people who single at their own ignorance, there was an air of information, the information of the people of social prominence and formal domain who had assembled to the greatest color of the personal home and homeage to her art. It was the proud moment of 8:46 p.m. when in Meyerbeers L'Africaine, a varietard in the city, was called to the home. It is not an air which brings out the volume and timbre of a conqu� of the "suit of the resonance of the madam's voice" but the response of the more resourceful than ever, in art perfection, won immediate recognition. The new building from Goundo's "Faust" was a very small building where the character to the plaintive innocence of the character, with less dramatic value, and a more specific analysis of the beauty of a voice of sweetness. It was the mad scene from Donizetti's "Lucia di Lannmermoor," which chal- Anita Patti Brown we have the voice of Marcella Sembrich, with a little less of the experience of a lack of greatest experience. But the musty was sang as Madam Brown had never articulated before in grand opera. Not only was it so much so much as the character of the caracts in stammatto were time-excluded and flute-like in distinctness. There was no dramatic tragedy in the show. It was the most important one of these are expelled and excused when a concert voice has won its way. Harristed by the Harrell, he buoy in his own work, "The New York's days" upon us two years, the berto movements by de Berlote. His method, style, grace, activity and unquestionably, made his life aю主义, intensity of devotion and artistic in-stinct all-bode tidings that he will become a really great artist. His work was so good that he had a great instrument will only need careful tuition to mature in a perfect future. He has made his work more popular than in the E.D. by the Chopin. The accompanants of the work are the legger's and the J.E. de Jocelong's, who be so soulless and is still color-blind, but is ripening in art; and Estelle, Major's work, has been a good model of the American Alexander spoke on Brazil, but time was up and I had to leave. Madam Fairfax, Hit of the Bill at the Grand Theatre — Petricola and Moss & Frye Share Honors— Stella Harris, Bert Grant and Campbell & Meeker, Hits of Last Week's War Madam Hurd Fairfax and Master Harry Stafford, her son, who were unaware of her name, last Monday evening, was a decision in the wager of genuine appraisal. After she had finished the sextet from "Lucia," imitating the tenor and singers voice, it is easy to state that if the madam is anything she is a finished trained singer who voices so well that she could easily qualify in grand opera. Harry Stafford, too, is one of the cleverest of boy chorus place as servants in the white folks parlor, could easily answer as a novice in high class vaudeville. The ordinary oddity of relaxation of memory in ignorance of conceit, was a lucky thing, but she was a fun especially for the unconscious white people who like darky humor. Their sons, however, were captivated who returned for the third time popular, is an artist and a talented singer whose songs and steps belong to her as a clever copiest. Besides Patricola, the singer in a neat little cooling sketch, and Paul and Pauline, courtship aristasts, especially the man, were excep- The last half of last week had Estelle Harris and her "Jaz" singers, dancers and�sangling, a fundamental and well-known and high-favo throughout the week. Miss Harris today is today a singer in her life who can easily command her song, but the time has been too long. She is buxom and pleasing no appearance and is an alto voice that is robust and is characteristic. The band has been a great準備者, that her color is light. Of the people in the act, Anna Holt, a sweet voiced soprano, is a nice introductory pop-dance and Oprah's Gross, and a plentiful steppers in buck dancing. We Benton arrests the composition of the band's new band, and the artist with a string quartet, makes a novel combination. Bert Grant, former partner of Irving Jones, has been a member of the band's new band, and he has one first appearance at the Grand as a single specialty artist. His pork-dance is a very vigorous pleasure and his colored dandy scene took high rank as Grant is a matured artist. When he came on the band, he audied as a daily artist, as applauded. They remembered that he had grown too lazy to dance after he had made a situation. He had a very r圈的, but he must come back. His song, "All Birds Look Like Chickens to Me," still lives. The white acts had Camp-the-blue-skies of the band, the two-legged up-top-top duets.

I told a newspaper reporter that he was profitable for an agent to be unblessed in sales to the public, rather than to the newspaper. Then they don't want it. What the public wants is experienced writers and that is why the Freeman is in demand without being sold on the street. Virgil Shepperd, of "Indie" was in town last week. Robb Scott of Wycliffe's Ginger Band is here. They want to date James Butler, trap drummer of the Detroit Vaudette, is here also, on a two weeks' visit. Clarence Dotson, known as "Dotson, the black steeper," is here with the steppe show at the Star and Garter theatre. "Dot" greeted us all as Sunday went out and all the actors lined up.

The Champion Magazine for October is out with a beautiful frontispiece. J. Fenton Johnson is a young man who has been a teacher in a study which in the toil of his vocation will naturally broaden his experience. Woodrow Wilson, whose administration has been racially dissatisfactory with other condemnation of the Democracy, has been a teacher in a small classic song in each number. In addition, Mr. Johnson is possibly a critic entrain by assumption, an eclectic writer, a naturally goes with and hampers the mind of a most delicate choice of human beings. The Passing of the Colored Politician, by William H. Ferris, is an all-interesting epistle and quite the interesting subject the subject was well chosen. He compares them with heavenly things as a grand reduction of their assendency, and several prominent men of past records. John R. Lynch, who once presided as temporary chairman of the National Coalition in 1884 was not even a delegate at the coliseum, but was warmly greeted by the president, who once Register of the Treasury, was only a contested delegate. Harry Roosevelt's nomination in 1904, was not a delegate but a sergeant-at-arms, standing with a policeman at gates in 1912 and 33 in 1916. Then in a passage Ferris says: "Hi. means that the black man must use the struggle to overcome the white brother, and that is now, is a question of survival of the littest." The type of racial man wanted and of how Frederick Douglas once subdued the white majority is honored by the massive white majority. Nearing the close of his article, Frederick Douglas criticized the critical game the black man does not ask for charity or sympathy but for an argument, which he believes, that Charles E. Hutton should, be willing to give. The President's Speech If Theodore Roosevelt is the "voice," And Charles E. Hughes the "Secrete Parts," The President has made a speech, Which shows his mind in queer up starts. The "Secret Parts" so pre-arranged, Seems out of place in this campaign; The Princeton college, President; Is bordering on things insane.

A record-breaking crowd is expected to see the STRING BEANS AND HIS FUTURE In Training for a Big Star. One question which is foremost among the performers and also the most important of String Beans? He and his company are again in Indianapolis this week, making the third time they have been here the reopening of the Old Crown Garden Theater, now known as the Washington Theater. Beans is rapidly developing into a comedian, the must be admitted that much of his present popularity is due to his oddities, his eccentricities, differing wholly from the rest of the stage. I said some time ago that he was a caricature by way of a comedian just like those cartoons seen in the movies, current happenings, true enough, but in a very much exaggerated way. He is a study because so different and yet so much seen in the race in a general way. Beans' past, however, many think, will not be the Beans of the future. At this time he has just what pleases colored audiences as we find them at colored playhouses. His strange comedy and his blues, especially when at the piano, create a furore. He will be readily conceded to be the blues master piano player of the world. That says very much. But one will not easily conceive of anything better of the kind. Great piano artists often find it necessary to label their positions before most people know his subject or the thought that they wish to convey. Beans' work talks for itself. It suggests its own kind of name, and which no one knows in particular, not even Beans, but at that those blues say something definite. They moan and weep and cry, setting up kindred emotions in the listeners, and who often must yell, or give vent to their feelings in some way for relief. I am not much on blues; don't think much of any variety of them. But if they are anything, Beans has got them. S. H. Dudley is watching Beans, having mind hitching him up with a touring route of a few years ago. Beans is in training for the big event. He is learning to depend on good communication, which, in event he makes the necessary progress, together with his standout individuality, will make him the best money-getter. He is race. As it is, Beans is now the best money-getter. He is known as the salvation man, the pinch hitter for managers. He puts money in their pockets. Beans is yet a young man; really, he is a man, but he is the street. He has good common sense, and holds a good conversation; not stupid, as he appears on the stage. He is a man, and he respects. He is so strong in his character that one expects to see him on the street as he appears on the stage. He is a man, and he says too generous. At any rate this man is a man, and to whom it is only to be announced that Beans is at such and a Beans and they are there in force. He is pleasing to meet, and companionable. He has plenty of good street clothes, and a Beans and they are there in force. He has a good-sized diamond in one gold teeth, as that of a standing challenge fighter. He can well do so, for his personalities is his bank account and he manages it. As the present theater-going people and managers see it Beans is a man, and he respects. He is a Lewis, stage reviewer at Indianapolis. THE DEATH AND FUNERAL OF MRS. DORA PATTerson R. DORA PATTerson Detroit, Mich. Oct. 11, 1916. A very sad and pathetic funeral ceremony was held on Saturday, September 30, 1916, at the chapel of Undertaker Davis on Ben- nifield Avenue. Miss Patterson departed this life on Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, the 27th day of September. She left a very friendship and spoke to Misses Jessie Harris and Mrs. Barnet, her landlady and friend. She told them to tell all of the performers to pray for her and she would be all right, because she was ready to operate and if she lived it was all right and if not it was all right. She was ready, as she looked as if she had just lain down for a beautiful sleep. Dora was a partner of Mr. J. Barnet, a friend of Misses Virginia and educated in New York. She was the founder of the Patterson one of the greatest trios on the bible. Dora Patterson's life was an unselfish one, devoted to the happiness of others, and knew her was to love her; too short was her life, because she was so sweet and pure her soul, who came into her life to wrap the drapery of her couch about her and close her eyes in a clammy embrace. She was put away nice. She was insured and the leading colored undertaker of Detroit had charge of the car. Her casket was nice and a funeral car carried eighteen persons. Those who accompanied the remains to the cemetery of Richard Freeman, the husband of the deceased; Miss Barnett, the landlady of both; Miss Laura Bally, Miss Josephine Bally, Miss Ray Bally, Miss Margie Crosby and Mr. Bob Davis of Davis & Elmore, Mr. Bob Davis of Davis & Elmore, and a few other friends of the deceased. The husband, Mr. Freeman, wishes to thank all of the friends who renamed their services to him in his bereavement. P. S.-Dora Freeman and husband P. S.-Dora Freeman and husband until a week or two before her death, vicious to that time she spent her remaining days at the home of Mrs. Barron. She was a leading lady in "The Trip to Africa." She leaves a dear husband here in Detroit who was simulating her dear mother, we learn, is in Petersburg. Va. who also mourns the loss of her dear daughter. The interviews were conducted by the Rev. J. E. Evans, of Bethel A. M. E. Church of this city and was a friend of the respect Dora's just words were am ready," and the Rev. Evans beautifully portrayed the life that awaited her grand, and among the many beautiful offerings was a beautiful cross presented by the few performers in the city. The ribbon was the "Our Dear Friend." Miss Josephine Tobias sent a beautiful song of the deceased, "Perfect which was rendered in a way that will never be forgotten by those present.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 师 The Joe Simm's Stock company is playing with much success in and about Washinton. Tolliver and Chappelle are presenting a new and pleasing skeleton at the 9th. Mr. Tolliver and Miss Chappelle are among the foremost exponents of Colored vaudeville. Steve Mobley, better known as "Bam," the black-face comedian, with company, 15 people is playing the only time he worked through the New England states. John Gibson, owner of the New Standard theater, states that business is unusually good. It is impossible to accommodate the large crowds that Simm's stock company has built and the extraordinary vaudeville furnished by this hustling manager. The Howard theater is still the place beautiful. Mr. Andrew Thomas has a large collection of plays in any way. He is very aly assisted in keeping his house up to its high standards. The shows are a marvel of all managers dealing in movies. Every evening at 6:30 p.m., see the high class pictures Mr. Thomas offers for their approval. It is doubtful if supper shows are so attended anywhere else in the country. --- "The annual whist tournament was played between Andrew Thomas and the Smart Set Company. The playing resulted in a 12 to 5 victory for Whitency and Tutt. This is the first time the Smart Setters. They stand ready and will meet to all comers while en route. They have never been beaten in a series extending over six --- S. H. Dudley's extensive theoretical enterprises are being looked after by Miss Desdemona Barnett, Miss Barnett also finds time to manage the theater of theatre in W., during the year of the premier comedian. Miss Barnett's duties are multifarious but are the executives from the intelligence, finality and dispatch of one of the big line theatrical magnates. Miss Desdemona has possessed a charming personality, a pretty face and is assisted in her work by an excellent education. She is scarcely out of her "teens" which fact makes her work all the more wonderful. The female orchestras under the direction of Miss Marie Lucas, at the Lafayette theater, and work and the Columbias, the Saltimore's are to be light, commended for their fine work. It has not been our pleasure to have our music played more satisfactorily by other orchestras anywhere en route. "This Way Out," a musical comedy playlet, writer and staged by Leigh Whipper had its first presentation in Gibson's New Standard. Mr. Gibson states that the comedy found great favor with Philadelphia audiences, packaging the theater at a very performing No Smart Set presentation in recent years has drawn larger crowds at the THE PASSING SHOW IN WASHINGTON. Whitney's "Smart Set" Hits High Water Marks Newtown Prepared? (By R. W. Thompson.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 4. —Welcomed as a temporary change from a stricty to a relaxed standing, the Smart Set was greeted by an audience Monday evening that packed the Howard University campus as a gala one and fashionable Washington turned out in all its culture and best clothes this year. The event, "Prepared," Salem Tutt Whitney was there in all his glory, and was never a funnier vein. Homer Tutt had a long some clothes that were a last-word in the art, and the last of the "Study in Black and White" with all of the hallmarks of "logical successor to the late George Walker." Miss Blanche Thompson, the sweet-lovely made pictures of the Sonos, Flores, and the host of new admirers. Her solo, "My Sweet Hawaiian Home," was a gem and her high notes of rang true and clear. Her rendition of Turko with Mr. Tutt was a masterpiece of unfuel-ing singing and nimble dancing. Mattie Lewis is not less cute than her predecessor. Miss Akers, as "Moana," and she got a funct of the "gahs," and she came on the stage. Whitney has two good songs and an abundance of comedy talk, and his duet. "You Worries Me," with Miss Lewis, came in for a witty�. In her海峡 and home as at home, he's the suffragette "looked the nart" in his striking make-up as the Turkish prince. Estella Cash, Carrie King, Emma Jackson, Sweet Ray, Helen Jackson, Gira Shop, Grill, O. Carter, Dave Liston, Helen Jackson, Lee Marshall, Tommy Hall, Alzonos, Fenderson, Al F. Watts, Sam Gardner, Dave Liston, Virginia Wheeler, Billie Young and others are assigned to role the show them off to marks role of the The chorus was made up of exceptionally pretty girls and they were as sprightly and well-known as a smallness of the metals to be. The costumes were fresh and showed up beautifully in the big scenes, particularly in the Oriental garden where the world is so smart. Miss Cash was good as the princess and her Egyptian dance went off well. Miss Emma Jackson led the train in apple-pleards and saw sweetly, unable to find the time to complete the raft, and the moving pictures of the stormy gallows. The story was that the old woman was the Turkish drill was a trifle ragged at the first performance, but a few rehearsals will bring the rapid movement. The book's "The Book of the Time" was interestingly with "preparedness," the central theme of the revised edition of "Bullion, and the referenced," and the "Tropical" at its age. The "Carazal," brought down the house. The plot needs tightening up in some spots, but as plot is a negligible quantity in a conglomeration, it is not as much as a "good" as "how Newtown" prepared, as "designed to be, it will not be difficult to lick the connecting threads into the proper means." The playwright put the piece together "for laughing purposes only." Judged by the continuous roar of laughter which greeted the witty success and the situations, the book The scenery is adequate, and is not less appropriate because it is more like true of the music. There is much that is new, some that is reminiscent of the old tunes, and some that is interpolated from the popular hits of the day: but, it is all good and enjoyable. We enjoy an enjoyable Whitneyesque style. We would have liked some more of the "old tunes" and the addition of the "Girl Set Tango" might not be out of place. In casting the new comedy, Mr. Whitney's delicacy of the girls and boys in the rear ranks and where they have shown merit, we have added them to reach the altitude of "stars". The show is in all respects fully up to musical comedy, but it will grow even better as time goes by and the players become more fanciful and they move between the lines of their parts. The Whitney-Tutt-Thompson aggregation deserves great faith and sublime courage in blazing the way to higher things in stage life and for the company, together when Howard theater, Washington, than How Newtown prepared. R. W. Howell, the director and dramatic critic, says that the show contains all the elements to be desired in a first-class musical comedy. J. Finley Wilson is making the Washington Eagle flap its wings and represents the race of the Race journals of the country. First Nighters. There is a class of theater-goers who call themselves "first-nighters" which means that they attend the first performance of every show or vaudeville bill presented at their favorite theater. These, "first-nighters" are usually very critical and severe in their judgment of any show. I have often wondered at this, it seems to me that first nighters should really be sympathetic, and instead of encouraging the players by their coldness and "you've-got-to-show me" attitude, they should be generous with their applause and quick to show their appreciation of any meritorious work of the performers. It is very seldom that an opening performance is entirely satisfying to the producers of any show. The opening is always attended with many unforeseen difficulties. The performers are usually under a severe mental and nervous strain and if the "first nighters" coldwater their early efforts in the show they are likely to become discouraged and work far below their standard. The shifting of the scenery is new to the local stage hands and is seen in the shifting of scenes, no matter how complex the mistakes may never reach the observation of the audience but they irritate and sometimes completely demoralize their cues at an open performance and so can hold true regarding electrical effects. The local electricians often miss their cues at an open performance and so can hold true best scores. Then there is the local orchestra to be considered, they have had perhaps the most experience in music, learn and commit all the cues that introduce different songs and musical numbers and can be more miserably the music as artistically and confidently at a first performance as at a second or third, any more. They can also be more miserably at a first performance from the sorry work of the local orchestra, so one can be more confident that will or will not audience. The changing of a single word will make a joke that failed, a joke that will fail, a shifting of a character will remedy a scene that failed, and so on, but the show must have the first present of the changes. The real reason that these changes are necessary is a conscientious critic should always see a second performance of an act or show before the first. By all means be a "first-nighter" if possible, because the "first-nighter" expands and affects things that are never repeated at the first performance. But I would have the "first-nighters" from their judgment throne, assume a receptive attitude and enjoy the show if possible. everybody else was falling by the wayside in despair. The Smart Set is going on a long tour of the South, and this excellent set will give you a welcome in every city, town and hamlet. These artists are helping, more than most are willing to admit, to solve the omnipresent 'race prob- Abbie Mitchell Caps Climax in "Madame X." As "Madame X" in Brisson's celebrated play of the same name, Mississica was the first to be called the "the man" upon her brilliant career. She was a marvel and sustained the trying role with a force and finish that has not been surprised by the Bariot's Barclay Dorothy Donnelly, Eugenie Blair, or any of the great stars who have preceded her in the part. In fact, he has been a major star in the life of his life, and he is the character that the audience did not see Abbie Mitchell all the way. He was a "Master," and he was the first to be found in the same place as the receipt stakes some distance beyond the goal reached by its nearest rival. With it, "Raymond Florio," the "Elbowman" of "Raymond Florio," the eloquent young lawyer who pleads the case of his mother without having a letter to the family in the presence of the client, was superb. His delivery of the speech for the defense in the trial scene was the best thing he has done in the case of the "Elbowman," and he was the most humanistic and unwhelming person, and was his banner impression, and awoke the unknowingness of the man. He had been a firm선거 in its midst a legitimate actor that takes rank with Mansfield, Mantell, Bell, and Henry, and the "Fondage" has "arrived." Lawrence Chenault made much out of the "Lerogue," and Miss Laura Bowman brought out all the good things that he felt in the house of Florio. Miss Iris Hall made a pretty picture as "Raymond's" sweetheart and Sidney Grant's "Barnes's" show in his new show of comedy as the precious pair of confidence swindlers who sought to secure "Raymonds"'s birthright fortune. E. A. Arenas, "The New Little" as the porter at the "Three Crowns," which afforded him an excellent opportunity to get in some quiet summa and should be fine style. Miss Alice Gorgas was effective as the chambermaid at the hotel, and Henry Williams was itself as the stalkers of the state in the trial scheme. "I'd be Townsend as "Noel," friend of "Floriot," Wild, honored, and gave one of the clearest-cut portrayals of character he has yet placed before a Washington audience. The scene effects were, magnificent and the incidental music, lighting, etc., combined to give an entirely satisfying performance. Massey's papers were present during the week and all joined heartily in praise of the masterly work of Abbie Mitchell. "Close-Up" Views of Plays and Play ers. "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway is coming." The Griffin Sisters, after four big weeks here, are at the Star in Baltimore this week. The matinees are growing in magnitude. Washington may yet become a banner "matinee town." The vivacious Miss Virginia Warner, who is in Washington girl, shows up well in the Smart Set "How Newtown Prepared." Rumor has it that Charles E. Lane, who has just abandoned the stage for the school library, is to join the ranks of benefices in the near future. All Washington is eager to have Mary H. Dugay cast of the Broadway players. As an ingeneue and in sympathetic character roles, Miss George stands in a class alone. The departure of the "old war broke out," Mary H. Dugay says he now has "no one to blame things on." Lew is waking up the mourners in Happy Harlem, New York City. Miss Iris Hall, the magnetic ingenuine, will Will A. Cooke, the agile comedian de luxe, wishes that his group of playmates be stationary permanently in Washington in there is a "reason in both instances?" The inimitable Joe Simms is heading a good comedy show of eight plays, and he will be week at Dudley's and are repeating this week at the Blue Mouse. Simms and makes a worthy successor THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. to Walker Thompson. Miss Helen Hubbard, a live wire, is doing a dancing ballet, especially in taking fashion. Laurence Morgan is on the managerial end. Edward Minor's orchestra is an enjoyable feature of the performances at the Howard. These versatile musicians do everything from "Foet and Foet," to "Walking the Dog" as a "clean-up." Edward Tolliver and Miss Goldie Chappelle, in their new Hawaiian musical act, are at the New Lincoln in Honolulu to follow. Competent critics say they have the best act of their long and successful career. The men of the "Family Cupboard" company will be special guests of the concert upon invitation of President W. Singleton, Vice-President R. W. Thompson and F. L. Cardozo, chairman of the executive committee. The Bon Ton burlesques featured the principal song and dance numbers during their recent engagement at the Gayetey. Ben Welch and his cohorts must have the right to use a choice lot of the late Mr. Hill's best musical comedy hits. Frank Washington is making an admirable stage manager and is handling the massive scenery of the city with skill and accuracy. The waits between the acts are distressingly long, but the difficulty seems to lie the fact that "Wash" needs two additional helpers to speed up the work. Miss Laura Powers' host of admirers are looking forward to her appearance here in "The Conspiracy". This gifted character delineator is to see the first time the film is in a blackface picture—the of a southern "mammy". She is "game," and a finished performance may be expected. Miss Louise Cook, prima donna soprana of Dunbar's "Tennessee Ten." She is the first week of the 9th. During the "layoff" period of the troup, Miss Cook has been doing a sister act in this vicinity of the city, and is a manager. Miss Cook is a Washington product and is a "classy" singer. Mrs. Mae Olden, remembered for her clever work with the Lincoln Stock Company in New York City and prior to her retirement, has a smart Set, comes here next week as "Mary Burke a social secretary," in "The Family Cupboard." She is the writer of Charles Olden, one of the Broadway players "best bets" in character parts. That Adonis of Scribes, Romeo L. Dougherty is to venture into the mazes of matrimony at an early date. Here's looking at you, old boy! May I see you? You're a sweet song. Let us wrap the walls of the "war widows" will be turned into mithful melody by the consulting reflection that the sea is still full of desirable fish luxuries to be caught. A first-class vaudieville house is needed in Washington—one that will seat about 1,200 and have a stage adequate for the presentation of the big-ranged rambances for the tabloid dramas or playlets. Such a house is needed to supply the demand for high-class-vaudieville houses—one that is not since the Howard is definitely the home of the substantial drama, there would be no competition between it and the kind of a house just described. A strong demand is being made that the local theaters advertise in some way shown during the week. Busy people want to know what they are going to see and they wish to have the list in such a convenient form as to select the features that appeal to their individual taste and they wish to give day, date and name picture in the paper. Baltimore is away ahead of Washington in the matter of advertising attractions. The friends of Miss Cleo Desmond manage to give her a chance to what she should do with a romantic and emotional role. The wise ones contend that the very charmingly as Mrs. Anderson, Miss Mitchel or Miss Clough, and they are "just dying" to see her put over some Desmond is capable of doing anything in the theatrical line and should be given an opportunity to display the very charming side of her manifold talents. “The Lure” is scheduled for the Howard the week of October 16, with “The Conspiracy” to follow on the 23rd. “Faust,” in dramatic form, is underlined. Director Winn is to introduce in the play six of the telling songs of the operatic version, including the “the” of the song, the flow of song, and four others. This is the first time such a combination has been attempted on any stage by artists of any race. Sidney Kirkpatrick is to assay the role of “Mephisto,” Miss Laura Bowman is to be “Dame Martha,” and Miss Debbie Mitchell is to appear as “Marguerite.” The efficacy of the “hammer” as an instrument for reform is strikingly shown in the enforced retirement of David W. Griffith, produced in “The Back of a Gloof” from the “movie” field. Growing tired of lawsuits, injunction and battles all over the country with a pugnacious public, Mr. Griffith has abandoned flimland and will henceforth be identified with the spoken drama. It must not be overlooked that the burgeous Ameritology had much to do with the knocking out of this apostle of the picture evil. In the language of our good friend, John Quincy Adams, of the St. Paul Appeal, “Great is the Hammer” The real negro is having his innings in the big white burlesque in the big black musical no chance "under cork" when the genuine article is around. The managers are utilizing caged comedians in all areas—music, musical productions—where a comedian is the coined artist of merit is rapidly coming into his own. "Toots" Davies and his band are the comedian of the Gayetey a week or so ago with Bedinil's "Puss Puss" company, and house next week with the "Midnight Maidens," putting over the best work city for the negro comedian and he should not fail to make the most of --- Messrs. A. C. Winn and Edgar Forrest are "whangs" as stage directors and colorists. They are amazing colored artists. They are amazing Broadway and adding largely to their repertoire, and they are dramatic. The colored artists are agreeably surprising everybody by the sturdy manner in which they are presenting themselves, and hard work" to memorize in a week or so the lines and "business" of a big stage. They are endeavors of the brightest stars of the American stage. A prominent Broadway manager, after witnessing a performance, "How in the h—l do you do it?" The colored men and women read the new and brilliant era in the dramatic world and they are determined to "make good." Their failure at this stage is a new failure" in the higher realm of art.

The town is the most popular town of the State of Little John's show. And, believe us, we did not turn them away like lots other shows do, but we held them to the door and give the second show. This was probably will not hold in the Carolina. C. R. O. business. Right off the hall, Greenville, S. C., 9-14. The bunch is in good health except Mrs. Sallie Callaway has been ill, this week.

R. has been ill, but, it is is reverencing nicely. The Carrie Bailey is screaming them nightly with syncopated walk and the Memphis blues. She simply takes them on the street. Mrs. Brown is throwing the "Little Yellow Fellow," and, believe me, she scores. Mrs. S. Hutchison is singing "Regular Guy" with great success. Mr. Geo. A. Riley is our car. The local station owner and is putting on some show, believe me. Mr. Riley is a droll comedian right and keeps the audience in an uproar of laughter. Mr. Joe Doke's springings come more than one comedy and harmony singing. "Alabama Jubilee," and "Loading Up the Mandlay" continue. to be some attractions. Mr. Arthur Brown, better known as "Memphis," has been a beloved musician and regarded with his funny talk. Memphis leaves the audience calling him back when he gets through with "Way Down in Memphis." He is a musician and regularly holding his own. Kid Owens uses his feet with some more class and, believe me, he knows just how to pick them up. Mr. Lewis is a musician and regards orchestra is rendering some nice selections which meet the audiences' approval. Mr. James Lewis sends a message to the company. Mr. Littlejohn seems all of smiles over the bunch and still keeps saying he will stay right all the time. He bucks and budges to all in and out of the profession. Mr. Geo. A.

Taylor's Champions Win Sensational Game Last Sunday Over a Picked White Team at Federal Park to the the Tune of 1 to 0. (By "Young" Knox.) In a game marked by a variety of thrills, our A. B. C's defeated the All Professionals, 1 to 0 at Federal Park last Sunday in one of the best games seen at the local park this best games. Dietz Johnson was in the season. Dietz Johnson was in the box, and Dietz was in the pink of condition. Neft of the Boston Nationals, who worked for the Professionals, was also in good condition, and struck out the first two men that faced him. He struck out five men in the first three innings, but after the fourth inning, the boys began to solve his slants, and in the seventh, but for a wonderful throw by McCarty, would have scored. However, in the eighth inning the bombardment came off. Charleston and Jim Taylor were the batting and fielding stars respectively. Charleston got two of the A. B. C's six hits, and in the sixth inning, Jim got all three of the YOUNG KNOX. chances. One of them was a very difficult chance, and Brother Jim had to doff his cap as he came into the dugout. Everybody was excited. It was a most splendid game. Dieta deserves every bit of credit given him. At no time during the game, he in danger of being hit by a man reached second base during the game. The white boys but four but four hits off of the ball three of what he was playing in, and Dieta also struck out an man, Lucid, the right fielder of the Professionals, struck out four times. The same man, Sunday, said that the Progression will have a stronger lineup. Let us hope that we will be just as successful as we were last Sunday.

Fisher swung at three, and missed them all. Baumann hit to DeMoss, and second at second. No runs, one hit, no errors. The crowd cheerd as Nehf went to the mound. He responded by striking out Shively and Clark. T. Nehf was runs, hits, no errors. Second Inning—McCarty was out, DeMoss to B. Taylor. Totten flew out to Brown, T. Nehf struck out. No runs, no errors. B. Taylor let three strikes go by him and was called out. Powell was T. Pittetch. T. Powell was out, Bruhaker to Fisher. No runs, no errors. Third Inning—Lucid struck out, Bokel popped up to B. Taylor. Nehf was DeMoss to B. Taylor. No runs, no errors. DeMoss struck out. Nehf was pitching brilliantly, and the fans were wowed by his pitching. He hit the first ball pitched for a deep fly to left field but it struck foul Johnson then walked. Shively flew out Johnson then walked. No runs, no hits, no errors. Fourth Inning—Brubaker struck out. Fisher fouled out to Shively. Baumann was out, down to B. Taylor. No runs.

Ben was out on a deep fly to McCormick runs, McCormick runs, McCormick runs, McCormick and Pittteen all out, J. Taylor to B. Taylor. Jim did some brilliant fielding in innings, and he was forced to defend. He received as he went to the dugout. No runs, no hits, no errors. Charles bounced down the third base lime, and beat it out. This was the first hit the As off Nehf. DeMoss forced Charles it was evident that the As were beginning to solve the slants of Nehf this point, and the white boy was running in him. No runs, one hit, no errors. Sixth Inning—Lucid struck out out was out on a high out to B. Taylor. No runs, no hits, no errors. Johnson and Shively struck out. Johnson walked. J. Taylor flew out to deep in left field than Baumann, Jim's hit, would have been good for three but as Paddy has played against Brutus, so much, he knows where to play for him. No runs, no no errors. Sixth Inning—Brubaker flew out to Brutus. Baumann hit one to Johnson, but it was too hot for Dicta and DeMoss could recover the ball, Baumann was safe, McCarty forced Baumann. B. Taylor walked. Powell forced Berkeley singled to center for his second hit. McCarty fumbled the ball. Powell went the way to third. DeMoss flew to Berkeley, and when Powell tried to score, McCarty throw him out. It was a perfect throw. One hit, no runs one error. Eighth Inning—Totten hit one to Berkeley go to center and a more perfect throw. got Totten by a step. Totten hit an easy one to B. Taylor, but it was unassisted. Lucid struck out for the third time. No runs, no no errors. Here's where the works came off. Brown beat out a hit to short and second round. Brown going to third. Shively singled center and Brown scored. Clark singled to left. When Jake singled. Shively stopped at second. Then Jim singled center and when Shively tried to score, he was called out on a close decision. Bickel dropped the ball, but Umpire Geisel did not see it. From there he was standing, so he called Shively out. In the meantime, J. Tay- lor forgot himself and started toward home plate, and he was tagged out. One run, four hits, no errors. Ninth Inning—Dowling batted for Bickel and flew out to Brown. It was a difficult catch, and the fans were out. He was hit by a grounder under it. Nehr beat out a hit to short. Nehr was caught stealing. Powell hit to second. Nehr beat out a hit to second. Fisher was caught by Johnson to B. Taylor. And here ended a game that will go down in the game. A game that will never be forgotten. Notes of the Victory. In the sixth inning, Jim Taylor retired the side by himself, playing perfect on three difficult chances. Bickel, a semi-pro, took the place of Ruderman behind the bat and he held the down fairly well. Charlton was the batting star of the day, getting all of the hits. The fielding honors were divided about equally in the infield. Dicta struck out Lucid, the right fielder of the white boys, four times. Lucid has the rep of being a heavy fielder, too, but Johnson had his measure. President McGill of the Indianapolis Association club prevented several big leaguers from playing. I hope he was not the one who was playing ball. I wonder what he was for some of those boys. Leary never saw the day he was half as fast as Ben Taylor. Some of the fans were disappointed in Rousch, who were billed to appear, but were ordered by the National Commission not to play against the A. B. C. s., who gave him the ball, letting their men play, and it isn't the fear of them getting hurt either. If there is anything in signs, it came true yesterday. They say when a pitcher strikes out the first man, it is a bad sign. This proved the case yesterday. This was also shown Saturday in the world's series games. Marquard struck out Hooper, the first man to face him in the game, and he lost. So pitchers, beware of that first man. Geisel, without a doubt, is a very good umpire, but he pulled an awful raw deal Sunday. In the eighth inning, Shively tried to score from second on Jim Taylor's single, and when Bickel tried to touch Shively he dropped the ball, but Geisel claimed he did not see it. When Manager Taylor asked him to confer with McCarthy, he refused to do so. So there was no kick coming from the Professionals on the umpiring. The All-Pros played well, but they faltered and fell and so came the end of a perfect day. Good bye until next week. AMERICAN GIANTS BEAT MAG NETS; SCORE 12.6. CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 12—The American Giants won the odd game from the Magnets on the season's series Sunday, and the Giants won the game in the twelve runs, and after that they played listless ball. The Magnets created a game in the seventh, but runs in the seventh, but Whitworth, the Giants pitcher, was not letting out a pitch, and the Magnets lasted only three innings before the Giants onlaugh, but at that the Magnets played miserable ball behind him, succeeded him and pitched a good game in the field for the losers.

Prince Rorter, Lige Fisher, Sam Tubbs, Prince Albert "Yellow of Cleveland, Jack Williams and the standout on the Browns, who were noticed at the game that Ardell Taylor and Willie Brown are this standout on the Browns, who Italians rallied and drove long clean hits out of everybody's reach. They then changed pitchers, putting Treese and seeing first until the eighth, when the game was called on account of dark- ness. The Browns' weakness after stealing Crazy Britt from the Cuviers to pitch the game lost to Stars, Britt mak- ing a strike-out. All-Italians AB. H.PO. A.E.

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 7.—Mexican Joe Rivers does not impress one as a prize fighter. He is a most gentle-manly young fellow, and by his unassuming ways he is sure to make a hit with a stranger. Joe talks to me with a calm and solidness on the subject of prize fighting. He likes to talk about his big ranch in California. The ranch has cost Joe a small fortune and it may cost him considerable money. He is a good man, and he is some dispute over the title and he is going back to California shortly to fight the matter in court. A friend of former years put a raw deal over one of the two men who had been sent into court. Some one asked Rivers if he would like to take a smash at his false friend. He replied: "I never had but one fight in my life outside of the prize ring." He asked a man who had been a innocent party to the scrap, but it cost me several hundred dollars to keep out of jail, and I swore I would never again get into such a mess. I was driving my alone along a road that was a long way, and he was blocked the road with his waggon. I said something grumpy under my breath and the man heard me. He followed me down the road in a third of a mile. He was a man of a like nature, and he was a giant of a man, I feared he might kill me, so I brought the old right into play and knocked him out on the road. He had me arrested, and the trial was postponed until the trial was over. He got off going to court. The prosecuting witness finally disappeared and called everything even when I paid my attorney about $150. I had no one to call him, and he was not yet. I got stung right and left. I am a peaceful citizen and want to be known as such." YOUNG GUNBOAT SMITH WILL MEET BUNOAT BOAT AT AT- LANT BUNOAT ATE, OCT. 17 Bout Staged at Odd Felows' Roof Garden. Promoter C.

White, age 60 was accused by the wife of a white photographer and the father of three children of things unbecoming a minister of the gospel. We hope he will be able to work with the children, it is stated that white boys are arrested and accused of contributing to juvenile delinquency of 12 and 13-year-old colored Martin Klein. a Chicago booking agent for colored actors and theaters, and a lawyer in the Lincoln Theater exclusively, deliberately came here and accepted two hundred dollars from Mrs. Ellen Dempsey, a lawyer for an exclusive contract to book her house, the Pekin Theater, for a year. He either thought the business was too good, or he ignorant there is no ill feeling between the management of these houses. But they both set their legal advisers to work seriously and costly trouble for Klein, and both houses may book independent. And Daly is a much wanted man ground here. Hennan Jansing and Bert Kein show their appreciation of negro enterprise, especially to the team that becomes their subscribers to the Freeman again. More like these fellows and the world wouldn't be made more diverse before our next issue. He is trade man and has a good business; about the best working in our city. She is serving my family. Bessie Hocker remains with us yet. She is a woman of color, and count heard the plea of two aged colored women, one asking her daughter's help to escape the raids, and the other to escape a $50 bill. fine for a misdemeanor she committed. He heard their stories and then granted her requests. It is said that justice in bishops' courts is based on the as- judge Bell can not see but he has a feeling for deserving colored people. As it nears election we can see the colored boys in the Boys boys, we would like to look you over between campaigns. You would be worth more to your party if you were a judge. Walter Lud- ington or Charles, Helms. At the Pekin another good bill of vaudville and a crowd a little short of good pictures, and the acts were Seymour and Pellabon, a neat little double. He is a good dancer and a fair comedian. The rapid fire was weak on account of the age of the host, Ministrel Morris, the laugh getting juggler, whose gift of "gab" kidding himself, proved to be a great starred and easily starred. The bill closing, Harper and Blank. Leonard Harper and easily starred. There is no doubt they are great little works and well made ended up a storm. There is no doubt the low comedy is out of place. James and Stovall Stock Company seemed to draw as the house was packed. "Finley" was so pleased he repeatedly treated the company to candy and cigars. They opened with James and a pony chorus, then an olio that was good. A girl with a big voice did a single. Stovall and "Old Folks" had a good double that kept going on. Clever Billie Ewing and his cards held them mystified until the coming of the comedy drama, "The Wayward Son," in which Deloyns shows as a cowardly mother beating son who was afterwards killed by Stovall. Was Procycle, the boy, Mabel Arrant, make a quick character change, doubling. Tillie Johnson was good as was also Mrs. Aulblot and Miss Roudey. They did eight weeks on the stroll with this company and came in town with plenty of "jack," but a lock on it as far as the Freeman "ad" business concerned. Stovall was loaded with hundred dollar bills. The last half of a musical "tab" entitled "The Two Imposters," was a good show and well received. Houze and Houze remained over Sunday, and will leave Tuesday. Houze and Houze and Lollie Ford were the best double acts in last week's bill. Lollie gets the knockers told about in the Freeman.

Walker Mfg. company takes this method of notifying all users of the goods and preparations of said company that on and after January 1st 1917, no goods will be shipped or mailed to any address from the factory except to regular registered agents who have taken the trade and otherwise qualified as agents of the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Company. This will not be done to work a hardship upon any one but to protect the regular agents of the company from fakes and imposters. So great is the demand for the goods of the company until the company finds it hard to supply such demand, and in order to avoid delay and complication after said date will refuse to make order unless they come from regular agents whose name appears on the books of the company. THE MADAM C. J. WALKER MFG. COMPANY. Short Flights By R W. Thompson. It is to be "Doctor Moton" after this. This is not proving to be a good year for political graffers or monument sharks. Dr. R. R.

C. the race owes him a debt of gratitude for valuable services rendered in the past. Dollars will restore him to health and future usefulness. The activity of the Washington Bee in littering at the school fight at Washington is represented by a minus sign. This is unlike the doughty Chase of old. Verily, Bee has lost its sting! Is there a reason? Would it not be happy stroke for Tuskegee Institute and the crowning point of a life of fruitful strenuosity if Theodore Roosevelt would accept the humiliation of the board of trustees of the university of the second vault of the death of Seth Low? Miss Nannie H. Eurroughs, as president of the National Training School of Nursing, has so-called National Baptist Convention can move her an inch out of the place she has made for herself—the haven she has created for the development of American womanhood. Falling in line with the trend against hyphenated citizenship, the Negro has almost eschewed the use of the once-favored "Afro-American." A university for 30 years ought to give us warrants to describe ourselves as real, full-fledged and undiluted Americans. That Virginia itinerary of the Negro Organization Society, headed by Dr. R. R. Motton, was of great benefit, both in terms of the whites and the blacks of the Booker T. Washington state tours, which did so much to promote a better understanding of the resurgence of whites and the blacks of the nation. Our "national conferences" would be stronger and productive of greater results if the things said and done had a wider publicity among the forces we work with. Let us talk little from talk that stops in our corner. Let the moving powers of the nation know that we are doing and that we are doing. Publicity is the door to Opportunity. The second number of the Champion Magazine, of Chicago, is in keeping with the first issue. It is filling a long-leaf want. The editor, Fenton Johnson, deserves unstinted praise for putting on a marvelous a splendid production. It also has the hardest of the thinking people of the race everywhere. The Champion will grow in strength and force of arms, supply of skill, mildly behind. Thus we think they will do, or we shall be grievously disappointed. While wielding the "hammer" is not a pleasant function, yet there are times when a "knock" is as necessary and the people people agree with, arguing that St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal on that point. That which is good and "constructive" is praised—but, as Brother Adams well says? "Thousands of social wrongs exist, which must be hammered until long may it exist to knock down the Wrong; to build up Right." The hammer has its uses; but we must exercise磨槊men that its uses do not abuse. The boosting program inaugurated by the National Negro Business League is a step in the direction of the growth of business or for that matter, we must cut a wider swain in the world of business, and a commercial revival is of as much substantial importance as the growth which has a place at least once a year in every well-regulated community. The spirit of making money is essential to the success of the movements inspired by lofty thought and moral values and the school strong—and business development produces the money. Dr. James E. Shepard is arousing interest anew in the educational problems of the race through his monster conference of educators scheduled to meet at the University of N.C. on November 21 to 24. It will bring together a group of the thinking men and women of the land and sound heads there is bound to come good results to the youth of the race. By his persistent energy and earnest efforts, people. Dr. Shepard has won a place in the front rank of all educators of the nation. During conferences and meetings, he will be an illuminated position on the map. Complaint is being made that certain moving picture theaters in Philadelphia are refusing to admit colored patrons. Investigations have unearthed the fact that a group of these theaters have banded themselves together in an agreement to exclude Negroes, despite the protection supposed to be offered by the civil rights law of the state of Pennsylvania, and these owners declare they will stand together in resistance of all suits aggrieved Negroes may bring against them in the courts. The situation is giving the thoughtful Negroes of Philadelphia considerable concern and prompt action is to be taken against all managers who persiat in refusing admittance to orderly and presentable colored persons. The trouble is said to have grown out of the practice of low THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. bred white individuals of spitting on colored *atrons* at certain theaters, wearing necks, tramping on their feet, making insulting comments in the hearing of colorized men in the museum, giving the colorized men an annoyance. The fall campaign for the collection of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund is now on in earnest. The movement should be launched in every community, and the pledged vigor until the pledged amount is raised. A short campaign full of life, the patrons, organizations, clubs and societies, the known among our people should be given an opportunity to contribute to this fund. The Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee Institute is a noble purpose. It is the monument that could be erected to the memory of the race's peerless leader. Why not a military department at Howard University? In the past few years, the university has spirt of "preparedness" has laid the foundation of a military department at Howard University and an army officer is to be detailed there to establish the new branch of the military. The principal institution for the higher education be behind Harvard, especially when this military department can be backed by the United States government is Howard's chief backer and Uncle Sam is ever ready to make the black soldier a vital factor in the nation's defense corps. Willforce has shown that the thing can be moved for a military department at Howard University? The National Negro Press Association is making a commendable fight note for decency and fair play is being struck today than has ever been done. The news matter has been inmeasurably improved, the typography has grown in artistic excellence, the editions become more reliable and consistent, the columns have been free from blackmail, scanners have been banished to the rear and the few that have been left are blacklisted and devoid of influence Association has made itself a potent agency for the uplift of race journalism. The newspaper's chain is the lack of adequate financial support at the hands of the men so faithfully serve. The latter condition should not continue to exist. We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of a finely-executed photo of Mr. Boyd, the general manager of the National Baptist Publishing House and the "live wire" corresponding secretary of the National Baptist Board, who is the Boyd oweer of the race's most progressive young men and his name in the movement is synonym of success. We are personally indebted to Mr. Boyd for the loyal and unswerving support of the National Negro Press Association, and it is a pleasure to thank him as president of the National Negro Press Association, and it will be a pleasure to sanctum. It will prove to be an inspiration when the fires of optimism burn in the sample of achievement through aggressive action is needed. Pictures of men of Mr. Boyd's stamp are positive assets for our daily struggle for civic betterment. Now that Taft and Roosevelt have met and "shaken hands across the bloody chasm, there are inputting men and Pythias" act could not be pulled off between certain warring forces among our people, or even among our enemies, could the doom of peace be persuaded to hover between Charles W. Anderson and Fred P. Jones; Armond W. Scott and W. L. Houston; Edward H. Morris and Ben Cyril V. Briggs; R. S. Abbott and Roscoe Conkling Simmons; W. Calvin Chase and Roscoe Conkling Bruce; A. W. Clifford and Ralph W. Tyler—and countless others who have long been parties to deadly feuds or on the run. Let us all be willing to bury the hatchet, in the midst of this dangerous no profit in the nursing of personal grievances. If we have an enemy to whom we have done anything, we are obliged give him with all possible promptness. In his widely-circulated invitation to educators to assemble at the National Training School at Durham, N.C., November 21 to 24, Dr. James E. Shepard makes it plain that there will be no charge for entertainment—that every hospitality will be at the disposal of the visitors absolutely free. The conference should be attended by every colored educator who wishes to see our educational problems dissected in a frank, fearless and helpful manner. Instruction, to be effective, must be standardized, and funds, to reach the unreacued, must be equitably distributed. Teacher training must be emphasized, as well as student training, and the rural districts must receive attention along with that of the city people. System must take the place of haphazard benefactions in the aid extended Negro schools and the suggested "clearing house" will come in for careful examination. These and kindred questions will be included in the program now being prepared for the Durham Conference, devised and called by Dr. Shepard. Educators who plan to attend should notify Dr. Shepard at once, that he may make adequate arrangements for entertaining them at his great school. Segregation in the matter of residence is not a question to be handled positively and social issues can be adjusted only by the law of natural selection. There is no such thing as a social stratification as the term. Individuals and circumstances govern the matter of personal identity, like as a person is fixed" and the rich will live where their means permit them to live. People like as a person are closed against all who have not the necessary "bid". This is as it should be operated under a public license, are not "social" institutions. Their status is one of public service, and must be able and willing to pay the price. Price will largely govern conditions of taurants, common carriers, and even churches. To enjoy exclusiveness costs money. To enjoy naturally the places, associations and indulgences in keeping with their means; those who break the black. The black man of large means is so scarce that he constitutes no service to be taken on its merits. Good conduct is to be presumed on behalf of all citizens. The preservation of order is to be solved by the minions of the law. Additional Stage Notes Additional Stage Notes TWO REAL SHOWS MET SUNDAY, OCT. 1, AT YAZO CITY, MISS. A. D. King, Band Leader Silas Green C., Meets the Students at His Home Town. Huntington's Mighty Minstrels and Silas Green Meet.

It is some palace car. SILAS GREEN CO.

SHEE SELEY SHOW, WITH CLARENCE POWELL. Beyond all doubt, this is the incomparable show. Never in the history of tented organizations has a show of this calibre been seen under a white top, and never such a galaxy of stars has ever been assembled as Capt. Sheesley has. When you see our gorgeous electrical first part, costumed to the very acme of style and quality, you only ask where will he stop or where will he stop in order to make this the real leader in up-to-date minstrelsy? The time-worn more fun than forty clowns, make a mule laugh, and many others which space will not permit us to use, can all be truthfully applied to the Sheesley show, where every comedian is a riot, every dancer is a show stopper and the singing superb. You must agree with those who say nightly the one-word sentences, wonderful, great, superior and classy. More wiB be said next week with the full roster. WANTED.
