SMITH'S DRIVE The Greatest and Only Order House in SLIM SALARIES AND SLOW BUSI NESS WITH CABARETS, THE ATERES AND OTHER PLACES OF AMUSEMENT CAUSE OF GENERAL DIS- SATISFACTION. LOUISVILLE, K., Oct. 16.—(Special) —The greatest dissatisfaction in twenty years is at present being experienced in City. Unless conditions are quickly remedied there won't be a musician of Louisville. Unless the exodus of Louisville musicians headed by "Baby-Bobb Williams," and E. O. Coleman, Cornetist and Planist respectfully York for relief. Slim salaries without "rise" at any time in the future, but more likely a drop or a fall, are the general fate. Lets see some of the Condition. Very few of Louisville's musicians are able to get anything like what a musician of like ability in other cities can do. Louisville's Hamm-Pats" who play for a sack of tobacco and a glass of beer have ruined the town for good musicians to try to play there. There is not a plank in the city of Louisville, colored, who makes $15 per week, for his or her work; while other musicians ability as high as $18 and $20. There is not a Cornet player in the whole city of Louisville, colored who gets as much money as the other musicians not hardly cigar and lunch money. Not a Drummer gets over $8 in Louisville. Are they bad musicians? No. The Drummer and public proclaim them par excellence. Those Who Are Going and Gone. Miss Delores Wilson, Wilson, Louisville's wife. Miss Messrs, Messrs, Robert Williams and E. O. Coleman, cornetist and pianist respectfully, accompanied pianist, gone to Chicago; Oliver J. Coleman, Louisville's "Peerless Drummer," going to Detroit; John Trombone player, going to Detroit; Chick Johnson, pianist, going to Chicago; Trombone player, going to Orleans, she is a pianist; Miss Daisy Collins, mezzo-soprano, going to Chicago; Mr. Wallace Huey, gone to Indianapolis, concert pianist, gone to Indianapolis, Ind.; A. Spaulding, pianist, gone to Minnesotaville's Premier Entertainer, gone to Minneapolis, Minn.; Henry Grundy, violinist, gone to Johnson, W. V. The Case of the Dancing Classes. None of the dancing classes in the city of Louisville, colored, pay their musicians what they show them with other smaller and larger cities of the United States. Louisville dancing classes pay their musicians $2.50 per man for not less than $3.50 and $4.00 per man for the same amount of time and class of work negotiated. Utter Sterling is the only club that pays for larger musicians for their work—especially dancing players.

B. Scott, Mrs. J. C. Napier, Mrs. Dr. M. C. Coleman, of the C. M. E. church. These women spoke briefly, yet touchingly on the great church life, club life, and social and domestic life of "Mother" Sawyers. These ladies have been for a number of years associated with M. C. Napier's life. The following is the most important of her active life. The following: "And may He who has ever kept you and guided you through life's rough way. He who has been your comforter when hours of doubt may come to you, whisper words of peace and cheer. And shall in his own time see fit to call you from labor to reward in the great beyond where many loved ones are awaiting your arrival may two bright and shining angels come from the upper world and with a calm and peaceful birth. A language your light-in-law for ever and ever." The Historic St. John Church. He must just a little space in your invaluable paper to say a few words about the place. A grand old A. M.

THE SUCCESS OF THE HAWAIIAN PREVENTION AGENCY BILLHILL, AN AGENT Our goods have been on the market three years and have met with a suc- cess wherever they have been introduced. They always take the leader's advice and are used by giving better and quicker results. Our goods and methods in treating the scalp are known to be far more useful than any other system on the market today. Our agents are all successful and have little trouble in building up a scalp. We teach them more about the care of the scalp than just washing and straightening the hair. Our agents teach them how to use the scalp as the doctor does the body. By the customer explaining how their scalp feels and the action of their hair, we can help them to WHY their hair acts so and the cause of such actions. When our agents teach them how to concerning the different diseases and the proper care of them they don't have to guess what is wrong with a scalp. We teach them the scalp and by the customer explain- ing how their hair acts. They are able to treat that scalp and get it back in a healthy condition. Some people are of the opinion that what will grow one person's hair will not grow the other. The trouble lies in the treating of the scalp. If the scalp receives the proper treatment the hair is forced to grow. The main thing is getting the scalp in condition is using the right kind of shampoo. This being neglected by so many is why they fall. Our shampoo softens the hair, cures humor, slight cases of tetter and eczema; it opens the pores in the scalp. It clears the scalp of all impurities. We give our agents receipts for making tonics for the combing out of the hair, bad cases of tetter and eczema, so when a customer comes in with such a bad case that our shampoo can not cure up fast enough, they are able to cure it without any extra charges to the customer. These tonics are not sold by agents to customers, but they apply them to effect a cure when needed. Those who wish to give our goods a trial, send $1 for a five assorted shipment. Those desiring the agency send for addresses all mail to Mme. T. G. Bramlette, 624 N. West Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. HOW I CURED MY CATARRH TOLD IN A SIMPLE WAY Without Apparatus. Inhalers.

Lest we forget, we may make enduring enemies during this campaign, and which is not at all necessary. Bear in mind that it is also a race struggle with us. Howard Drew, the well known Negro athlete of California will locate in Des Moines, Iowa. He will engage in the newspaper business, and at the same time he will prepare himself for the practice of law at Drake University. If he is as ambitious and successful in his new move as he has been in athletics one may expect to bear from him in a few years. Hughes and Fairbanks besides standing for what is considered the better governmental policies are of that party which promises most to the Negroes as citizens. That's the point with us. We need not be unduly disturbed about the national policies until we are full fledged citizens. Intelligence says that we should know enough to make distinctions, and it says also that men are not properly intelligent who are not intensely concerned about their individual freedom. Our Y. M. C. A. has now the distinction of having the largest membership of any colored association in the country. As the result of the campaign for members, which closed this week, 511 names were added to the enrollment, making a grand total of 1118. Mr. De Frantz, the efficient secretary, is coming in for considerable praise for his good work of management. He was encouraged by hearty support on part of the leaders and teams, all of which made it possible for the great success. Tennessee bids fair to loom up in the Republican column at the approaching election. The alarm was sounded during the recent registering that the Republicans were registering about three to one Democrat. The colored voters were notably active in some of the precincts of Memphis, registering as high as six to one Democrat. This activity was due to the ticket of Negro candidates. They voted on the nomination and the choice of the ticket including the congressman being made up of Negroes. The outcome of the peculiar political mixup will be watched with great interest. Senator Thomas Taggart stands for the essentials of citizenship to all citizens. His promise is as good as that of any other man. This together with his known regard for Negroes ought to raise him very high in their estimation. They should see to it, as far as they are concerned, that he and all such men are kept in high places. When they fail to make good is quite time enough to vote them out of power. When they fail then in the language of Thomas Hendricks we should vote to "turn the rascals out". As it concerns Mr. Taggart, he has been with us from his youth up. His life-long attitude of itself demands reciprocity. Whatever he had in mind he tendered us his services right where we need them most. If no Negro of us took notice of what he did in Congress or what he has done all the years we would be ashamed of our nationality. THE SENSITIVE FREEMAN The Charleston Observer of Charleston, W. Va., in reproducing an article from The Crisis under the caption of "A True Story of Indignities surfered by the Colored Race", had this as its frontispiece in the issue of October 13: "With due apology to the sensitive soul of The (Indianapolis) Freeman we here reproduce a story from the October issue of The Crisis." We don't quite get the drift of the brother, but we take it that he thinks we are chicken hearted as it concerns publishing details of those lynchings horrors. If such is the case he is very much mistaken. We do not, however, at this day see the necessity of spreading the news one more time, not held anything, to say against it. We are not exercising a censorship, nor do we have any such disposition. We did say we were opposed to the exhibition of those horrors in our publications, those pictures, and for reasons that we gave some time ago and which, we think, should be the view of our people generally. If we had shown all of the happenings since that awful Waco event it would have kept us fairly busy not to speak of it. We would have to commend the We congratulate the Observer on its comprehensive work. It has rapidly forged to the front, doing a great work in spreading the news of cheer and condemning and working against the things that sorely beset us. However, it must not get the idea that it is alone. We may differ some as to methods, but never as to the ends. We too cannot touch every our troubles, and which touched every man of us. GETTING RIGHT. Says: the New Age, a Los Angeles, California publication: There are degrees of goodness, even of "Jim Crowlinson," who is behind the hour behind and the morning train of the Yazoo and Mississippi alley fields and corn fields of Missig- sippi towards Vicksburg. Here is a whole chair car "For Colored Passengers"; clean, a carpet runner upon the seat, a rug on the seat and separate toilet and wash rooms for men and women. The car is filled and the passengers of both axes are seated. They areversation? Yes, but not loud, and many are reading papers and magazines. "Don't Spit," reads the sign in front, and continues, "It Annoys Others." There is no smoking. It is not allowed behind the rear and a half coach smokers next car back for men who use the weed. Neither is there a conductor or a peanut butcher in the car check or relief after a night upon a Frisco train out of Kansas City, where the fire relief after a night upon a Frisco sengers was half taken by the white train crew and altogether filled with smoke from their stinking pipes and sengers and two dining car waiters who had come forward for their evening smoke and to "look over" the collar of the sengers and two dining car waiters out of Cairo to Memphis over the Illinois-Central which had been used for the general smoker, over-invigilants, all of whom it and requested the men to stop their smoking, somewhat redeemed the sit-down even travel, through all its phases. How refreshing every sign of improvement Well, if we must have the "Jim Crow" institution let us have it at the best, just as the above recital. The laws in all instances call for the equal facilities. The interstate commerce commission recommended equal facilities. The railroad men in answer to Dr. Booker T. Washington promised equal facilities. With all this preponderance of demand and promise surely the Negroes should get the comforts and conveniences of travel in all parts of the country. When they do not get them they are actually defrauded since there are no reductions in fares. This proposition doubtless will be resented, but is it the truth? The whole thing is un-American, but it is the law in many communities. And we are advised to obey the law under any and all circumstances. It is right enough to obey the law, but no more should it be demanded of one than another. We admit the "emergency", if it may be called that. And since we admit the thing and abide by the terms as to it all lessen things should be cheerfully added unto us. It is like pulling eye teeth to get first class coaches, even for first Negroes. We should think that it is a fact that there are some Negroes who should have arrangements made for them on the sand cars. This battle must be fought with a two edged sword, cutting both ways. It is our salvation, if salvation is to come. FREQUENT. Lynchings are again occurring with alarming regularity. A week or so ago three Negroes were lynched, one in Tennessee and two in Georgia, one of whom was a woman. This week the startling information comes that two more Negroes were victims of a mob. Paducah, Ky, was the scene of this last happening, a most regret table thing, since that state was thought to have been getting more reasonable in its attitude to the race. And then, too, it was dangerously near the North where we are supposed to be nearly immuned from lawlessness of that kind. Of course, the country is very large, and of many millions, above ten millions being Negroes. That the mob "supersedes the" law now and then is not alarming in the sense that the Negroes are as sheep in shambles and waiting their turn. The people are not terror stricken as we think of the unfortunate Jews of the past Russia when life was a matter of speculation for the coming mornings. It is alarming in the sense that it may become the custom, and which reasonably enough could lead to the worst kind of condition, especially if there is no decided effort to head it off. It is useless to speak of the alleged crimes of the victims. The American mob stands for an idea, it is not parable as to the kind of crime or degree. The outrage of white women or the attempted outrage was the original excuse. But soon enough the mob came into its own throwing aside its disguise, making it plain that the intent is that the Negroes are to be spiritually dominated or subjected if not physically, and perhaps both. The society for the prevention of mob happenings seemingly, is not making much headway. It is our opinion that it will have to operate in two directions. While no deed committed by Negroes exceeds the law by way of punishment it is quite apparent that that society and other agencies of the kind will have to begin a work within the ranks, as well as without. We mean to say that mob rule can never be justified in civilized communities, but, nevertheless, we must be found doing things that tend to counteract it or whatever is necessary to drive it out. We can do that by defending the race. It is always the deed per se, not always the alleged crime, that paves the way for the mob. It is very often the reserve hate engendered by offenses or seeming offers that are endured from time to time, and which is unorked and pours out like a phial of wrath at a given opportunity. We need social evangelism in this, our Negro race. Our best friends are growing a little faint as we all notice, if we will. If we do not notice it then so much the worse for us—our perversity and denseness. Social evangelism is a great, big theme, it would be a great, big operation in event it could be. And whether it be or not, it is the thing needed. The delights of this world are too strong for many of our young men and women. If this is not always seen through ugly acts, it is seen through indifference to race to ideals, to church and to the general society of men. The Jews, the Japanese are altogether different in us in their social makeup, and why should this be? We have in mind the humble races, those who exist practically on the bounty of other men. If our people were more conservative; not so much content and aggressive much so displeasure at our press would disappear. We have that cook-of-the-walk sureness and directness in many things when the attitude should be humility. However, the thing seems to be inherent, and it must be admitted, of some value, since it means heads erect at any expense. But it is evident we carry it much too far and show it when it is entirely out of place. Very much could be said and done along this line and which would tend to put us in a better attitude with those around us. WHO TO VOTE FOR In these trying times it is up to the Negroes to help vote those in power who stand for the broad primacy of the party. In the past they, the Republican party, stands for such citizenship, consequently it appeals to them as voters. It is a great bulwark of defense of rights in common, yet it must be admitted that it cannot fully guarantee all that the Negroes expect. The Republicans have practically possessed the North since the Civil War. It is responsible in the larger part for the degree of freedom now enjoyed. And if the race is content with what it enjoys this article nor any other would be necessary that has in mind enlarging the present liberty. Logically, the situation is, that we have the Republicans as our friends, and who may be trusted to stand up for us as they have done in the past, but, since, in the nature of things, they can advance us no further it is clearly up to us to help in the matter if possible. The Negro finds it almost necessary to be a Republican. He is not very much moved by the issues as white men are moved. The Adamson law, the tariff, the country's foreign policies do not mean anything much to him as long as he suffers in the essentials of citizenship. More than one man has said that Negroes do not divide their votes according to the issues, thinking never of how impossibly bad he views of civil ment civil standing. They find it necessary to work to one end. Their absorbing question is, how to get the rights of citizens or, perhaps, how to maintain them? STARS THAT SHINE ON MANY CIRCUITS. Brooks & Bowen are at Pantages Theatre, Ogden, Utah. Johnson & Dean are playing at Proctor's in Yonkers, N. Y. Old Time Darkies are at the Orpheum in Salt Lake City, Utah. Bucker & Winifred are playing in Calgary at Pantages Theater. The Republicans will admit that they have done their best for our race; and it is not doubted. They must also admit that with all of their best civil irregularities continue. In some respects they increase. Surely they would not object if effort were made at any time that tended toward a better condition. Some of our own race are hide bound on this proposition, deriding the sympathy and support of others not of their party when it is plain enough that it is others' fault. We must be aware of stands, that must be won if we are to be relieved of what we think to be undue pressure. The Eight Black Dots are in Green Bay, Wis., this week, playing at the Orpheum. Copeland & Payton were on the first half at the Orpheum Theater in Jackson, Mich. Johnson & Wells played the first half of the week in New Rochelle, N. Y., at Loews. Mrs. Prampins appeared as a single on last Sunday night's bill at the Lafayette Theater. Tim Bryman's Broadway Band has just closed a successful season at the Palisades Park. Tom Brown, at his greatest, was seen as Winthrop Clavering in "The Conspiracy" at the Lafayette Theater last week. in "The Country Boy" at the New Lincoln Theatre last week. James Reese Europe's new act, consisting of ten musicians, will appear More and more it is evident that the Negro must stand to friends when and wherever he finds them. The proposition should not be considered alarming because the Republicans have long ago declared themselves. The result is that we are found in the folds of that party. But are we saved? Not at all. The Republicans as a party are enthusiastic about sentiment sufficient to guarantee further advance in citizenship. Theater last Sunday with new hats, new gowns, new shoes and new songs. Capt. Henry Wilson is shouting all aboard for those who wish to embark on his "moonlight" excursion to be given at St. Mark's Hall on October 23. The Walker Musical Club appeared in an operatic and dramatic soiree at the Salem Church on last Thursday night in the benefit of that church's grand rally. The Colored Amateur Billiard Players' Association of this city opened its billiard tournament of the season, beginning with Class D, on last Monday evening, October 26. If Senator Tillman should suddenly announce that he stood for the things Republicans stand for we insist that the Negroes of South Carolina could do no better thing than to split up their vote in the instance. At least nothing should be urged against him, and we should make converts wherever he could. The Sons and Daughters of St. Christopher Society in America, Inc., held their grand autumn entertainment and dance at Lenox Casino on last Thursday evening. Richard E. Abrams showed better form in "The Conspiracy" than we thought him capable of. His characterisation of Samuel Shipman, a very mouthy old man, was artistic. Peter K. Koch, assisted by the Metropolitan Dancing Masters' Association, will hold his first annual reception at Manhattan Casino on Thursday evening, October 26. We have a case in point in this state, Indiana. Senator Thomas Taggart has declared for the essentials of citizenship for Negroes, not merely a plattitudinal assertion, but he spoke definitely, and to a certain purpose. He stood for the enlistment of Negroes in the United States Army and Navy, a thing which was opposed by a fellow congressman. It was at that time that he also declared for the common rights of citizenship for all citizens. His opponent, being a Republican, it will be taken for granted, is no less in favor of the things for which Mr. Taggart stands. And on that presumption we see no cause to make small of any of his opponent's efforts on behalf of the race what ever they have been. As we view it, it would be unpardonable if none of the race showed apprehension for the grand position of Taggart for what he has done and what he has recommended to the good graces and consideration of men than his stand for this portion of God's common people, he has enough, since those that strive for the uplift of a people strive for the uplift of humanity. It is as giving a cup of cold water in His name. It should not be unnoted. One of the auditors in the New Lincoln Theater, where "The Country Boy" was presented last week, was heard to exclaim: "Gee! that actor, Burris, slams his personality over!" George (Eddie) Brown is daily developing into "bigness," his work in last week's production at the Lafayette Theatre, "The Conspiracy," showed fine improvement over his work when seen here before. Joseph H. Douglass, the noted violinist, appeared in a recital on last Thursday evening at Mother Zion A. M. E. Church. Mr. Douglass was assisted by the famous soprano, Mme. Lulu Robinson Jones. Da Maitre Martin, the New Lincoln Theater's famous bass violinist, is kept exceedingly busy through the duties of her theater position and that of assistant to her husband in the Martin-Smith Music School Settlement. Mrs. Camille Wonders, once the leading soprano of John isham's famous Octoorons and a well-known figure in concerts and vaudeville throughout the country, is lying dangerously ill at West One Hundred Thirty-fifth street, this city. Miss Marjorie Jipp, New York City's most popular young woman, at least the great Metropolis so decided in a recent popularity contest, when it presented her with an automobile, is the prima dona at Goladraben's beautiful dining room. Babe Townsend rendered a splendid impersonation of a degenerate professor in "The Conspiracy." This statement, though, is nothing new in the way of news, as all of the roles assumed by Mr. Townsend are done to the essence of perfection. The manager of the Avon Robinson show, which is appearing in Havana, Cuba, writes that the manager of the theater informed him after the second day's performance that the entire house had been sold out for three weeks in advance. Robert J. Young, one of the country's best known musicians and the manager of the celebrated "Royal Poincaré Sextette" and of the Quality Amusement Corporation's Colonial Theater in Baltimore, Md., paid a visit to New York City last Friday, October 13. Abraham Lincoln was no more in principle than Thomas Taggart in the instance, nor Lovejoy, nor Frederick Douglass, nor William Lloyd Garrison, nor any of the rest of those immortals who are so because of us. Lionel Monagas makes a breezy delineation of a wide-awake newspaper reporter, in "The Misleading Lady," at the New Lincoln Theatre, this week. Miss Laura Bowman, as Martha Washington Johnson, constituted a major part of the humor in "The Conspiracy." Little May Brown drew a genuine surprise into the hundreds who for seasons, had seen her do only dance numbers without even a line of song. But she put over lines, real speaking lines which had a meaning, in last week's "Country Boy" played at the New Lincoln. Men have been mean enough to speak of Mr. Taggart's life long charity and mercy as something not worth mentioning. And when speaking of those things they were so warped as to hide the things which they may have considered big things, his ex pressions owing to the proposed army and navy bill. These were Negroes and who purposely worked around his expression or referred to them as a Taggart coup de'etat or blarney to win the Negro voters, thus doing that gentleman an injustice, the first that has come from our race, and from where it was least expected. Walter M. Hunter, New York City's famous baritone, is giving a series of recitals, the first one to be held at Bethel A. M. E. Church on November 13. Mr. Ramon P. De Toro will be the accompanist to Mr. Hunter's singing, while Jesse C. Young will render violin solos. The Quality Amusement Corporation is preparing to present a genuine Broadway musical comedy in the form of "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway," one of the latest and greatest of George M. Cohan's successes, at its string of theaters located in this city, Washington, D. C., and Baltimore, Md. Scott Joplin, whose eminence as a composer of ragtime music has led him to join the Ragtime "King" in convalescence from a serious illness. In order to gain complete rest, he is expected to spend some time in Chicago at his sister's home. He is expected to be back in the Metropolis, though, in time to get off several new numbers for various big productions, especially the great ragtime number which he has already commenced, "Symphony." The time has not come for our race to speak with contempt of positions among us of waiters and porters. Take these away, including the laborers and the material foundation of the race is gone. Not more than ten percent of the race is found in other capacities. It is averted that because lifted mortgages and helped at building churches it should not make him more eligible to eat in the United States. What must we hate? What more shall we hate of men? What will men say if we fail to recognize such an individual? "THE LURE," A FORCEFUL PLAY, AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATER. For the author to have created "The Lure" was a task worth while in playwriting. For the Quality Amusement Corporation to include in their great list of plays to be reproduced by their Colored players was a thoughtful consideration, for which they are this week being rewarded by having its Lafayette Theatre continually packed. The play is a "White Slave" product and dwells in a tense, open way on existing evils. The acting of Miss Inez Clough, Mr. Andrew Bishop, Will Cooke and the rest of the cast is well done. As for Miss Anita Bush, we do not see how there could be very much improvement in her way of playing "the girl." The cast: The Mother, Marie Young; the Doctor, Will Cooke; Bob McAuley, Andrew S. Bishop; the Girl, Anita Bush; Carrie, Carlotta Freeman; Captain Jim Maguire, Luke A. Scott; Madame Catherine Lockwood, Inez Clough; Paul, Lawrence E. Chenault; Nell, Ruth Carr; Wilson, Charles Wilkes. Synopsis: Act I—Home of the Girl and the Mother. Act II—Home of Madame Catherine Lockwood. Act III—Back to the home of the Girl and the Mother. We need the addition of Taggart to the forces that are holding in our favor as citizens of this country. Here is no speculation as to what might or might not be. Segregation, lynching and proscription generally are not decreasing. We will do the proper thing if we would gladly welcome accessions to our ranks of friends, prayerfully welcoming them, doing all that is reasonable to show them that they are appreciated. THE MUSICAL BYRONS, IN A NEW HAWAIIAN ACT, CREATE MUCH CRITICAL COMMENT. With the appearance of Hawaiian song numbers about twelve months back on the musical horizon of New York, there appeared almost simultaneously with them a form of dance which was quite uncommon, by virtue of the fact that it is indulged in by only beautifully formed women who go through certain measured steps with a peculiar twisting and wigging of their very scantily attired bodies. Though many theatergoers who had long since become hardened to the attractiveness of beautiful women through long patronage of vaudeville and burlesque shows, they all sat up and looked askance at the imported exercise, which stood in bold relief when compared with the dances of this city's civilization. TEN DARK KNIGHTS. We closed our four weeks' run in the Windy City at McVicker's Theater to a big success, and are at the Orpheum Theater, Detroit, Mich., this week. Many of the boys' lady friends were down to see the Knights off for the East and bid them godspeed. They all know the Knights have been in Chicago for we left a nice reputation among fans, and requests at many receptions and parties. But, like all other new things which are invented to entertain New Yorkers, if it is dolled up in a bit of spice, this dance won its place in the dining rooms and showhouses of the aristocrats as well as in the smaller places catering to the dimes and quarters of the masses. Patrons who at first looked at these dances through spread fingers soon came to use opera glasses. What had at first shocked New Yorkers soon came to be the rage. Thus it was an act by five Byron brothers, America's five peerless musicians, came to stage an act which would fit in easily, with the times and demands. Mr. Alonzo Williams, the "Buffet" make-up artist, the flats, Scored heavily. Aaron Thompson, the banker, is very thrilled by his books. George Wright is all smiles. During the Byron brothers' career in their new musical career (named for professional reasons the Monahalia Sextette) they have attained as much eminence if not more than any other act featuring the "hula hula dance" in the entire country. The theatrical papers wherever they have appeared have given generally unstinted praise, many of them going so far as to state that "it's the greatest act" of its kind on the boards, and one from which all others in trying to introduce this dance might well pattern after. Yet, appearing in last week's issue of the "Variety" were criticisms which smacked unmistakably of a displeased advertising representative. He had this to say, "the Monahalia Sextette is a woman-mimicking Hawaiians through the strings of Colored confetti confound their neck and last season's shirts cut up for ashes around their waists, while the cans worn by the men would start a riot if they ever wore William Israel sends regards to St. Louis fraternity. Washington is very quiet for some reason. He is going East, so he is looking ahead. Little Gilbert Hicks, the wee comedian, is making good and is a valuable Hoakum for Mr. James Brooks and they are making a No. 1 team and draw rounds of applause in their funniest wit and humor. Too much praise can not be given our hustling and able manager, Mr. Henderson Smith. Best them on Broadway. They play musical instruments Hawaiians never heard of, much less play. The Colored dancer with her long length grass skirt and high cut evening waist is about the funniest thing as a "cooch" dancer who ever had the nerve to step on a professional stage. The act was a formerly known as the Five Byrons, when they were just Colored. It shows what a "fad" will do. Still the Byrons are a bit late. Without the woman and just as Colored musicians they would seem to have a good a chance. In the review of the Columbia bill last Sunday in this issue Wynn mentions this act and its reception at the house."—Sime. Upon questioning of she the C. D. Byron, to furnish some reason for publication of the above article, he informed us that the Variety's advertising agent had approached their act for an advertisement and that, not having any use for it in that periodical at that time, refused him. Yet the Billboard, one of this country's best theatrical magazines, neither minced its words nor spared its ink in voicing its sentiments on this act. It had this to say: "The Monahulah Sextette proved that Bronxites as well as the rest of the country like Hawaiian music, and these boys can tainly know how to play it. They were accorded the biggest aplause of the afternoon after their Hawaiian song number, and their little bare-footed dancer pleased mightily with her native steps, accompanied by cornet, saxophone, ukelele, etc. This sextette will make a hit on any bill." And following this splendid criticism came the following one published in the New York Star, another theatrical magazine, issue of October 18. The Star had this titled "The sextette are six Colored instrumented at the finish by what appaure a real Hawaiian dancer. This is without a doubt the cleanest and most refined "hula" we have ever seen, and that goes for all trying to introduce the dance in native fashion. The act went big." Attacked as they were in the dark by a pen-and-ink-armed bandit, the Byron brothers (Monahulla Sextette) continue to be so much in demand that on many occasions a week's work to them means their appearance in as many as three separate theaters each day and night. "THE MAN OF THE HOUR" AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATER Commencing with the matinee Monday, the Quality Amusement Corporation's stock company, with Mrs. C. H. Anderson, will offer a big revival of George Broadhurst's famously successful play of love and politics, "The Man of the Hour." In the whole long list of stock company successes, and the local stock companies have produced many plays that have proved uncommonly successful, there is not one that can be remembered that has achieved such a degree of success or become so popular as this powerful Broadhurst story of graft in municipal politics with its strong and convincing argument for clean politics and good government. Not only does "The Man of the Hour" rank among the most successful plays that have ever occupied the local stages, but it is one of the few really great hits of the past few years on the American stage, and although it has been seen here before, it has never had such a splendid cast as will mark the presentation of Lefayette. Probably nothing that this organization has given in many months has allowed the opportunities for fine acting and individual effort for every member of the company as "The Man of the Hour." Mr. Broadhurst has written a play that is tremendously interesting from the rise to the fall of the curtain; and while it contains many big and powerful dramatic situations and strong dramatic climaxes, it also has a wealth of clean, brilliant humor. His story, that of the young mayor who is placed in office by the politicians and who refuses to be a tool in their hands, is well known to local theatergoers. Mrs. Anderson will have splendid opportunities for effective acting as Dallas Wainwright. A GREAT SHOW, A BIG SHOW, AT THE LINCOLN THEATER The Lincoln Players came across with another solid hit on Monday night, when they covered themselves with glory in Paul Dicky and Charles Goddard's success, "The Misleading Lady." The play is one of the most pretentious and difficult plays for any stock company to handle, but be it said to the credit of the Lincoln aggregation, they put it over to the extreme satisfaction of the critical crowd who packed the theater. Space prevents a lengthy review of the plot, but we go on record as stamping it as one of the most delightful offerings seen in Harlem. The scenic requirements and effects were perfect, and the acting of the different members of the large cast left nothing to be desired. In the leading male role, that of Jack Cregan, C. Creighton Thompson fitted in admirably, and conveyed a most clear idea of the character the authors had in mind when they created that unusual type of the rugged man who had seen life in all its phases, and while he claimed to know all about bucking horses and cannibals, etc., he was not far amiss in his judgment of the fair sex. Miss Lilly Brown, in the title role, demonstrated that she could portray the society girl as well and she did the did the simple country maiden in last year's offering. She made a pretty and well known Steeler. The part is a most exacting one, but she was equal to it in every respect. We had again a little bouquet to the comical Jim Burris, for while he shone a considerable glory in last week's bill, he fairly outdid himself in the part, "poleon," the lunatic. It was an excellent conception Mr. Burris had, and he convulsed the large audience with laughter on his every line. The other members who, while having very little scope for the showing off of their talents, appeared at ease and to the manor born. In order that the patrons of the popular Lincoln shall have an opportunity to witness the best in vaudeville, and more of it, the management has struck upon a plan whereby the play in future will be condensed to run in a shorter space of time, affording room for the introduction of five big vaudeville numbers. This will without doubt prove most satisfactory to the clientele of the theater, as there is a goodly portion of Harlem theater-goers who desire a variety in their entertainment. This will on a whole offer the most varied and delightful brand of diversion presented at any theater in Greater New York. It is in line with the policy of the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Street Theater to give its patrons just what they demand, and that the change will be accepted with acclaim is a foregone conclusion. IRVIN C. MILLER'S PLAY, "JAKE'S FAMILY," STOLEN BY LEIGH WHIPPER AND CALLED "THIS WAY OUT." Chicago, Ill., Oct. 16, 1916. It is with regret that I have to announce that the young man in the East by Mr. Leigh Whipper called "This Way Out" is none other than my own original play, "Jake's Family," which he has stolen and is using without my permission. The story of my play is well known, for I have produced it in Chicago, Indianapolis, Memphis, Detroit, Mobile, Nashville and Jacksonville, Fla., and it was a much talked of play. When I produced it at the Crown Garden, Indianapolis, with Doe Doe Green as Uncle Jake and Mr. Tim Owlsley's two young boys as part of his family, it was reviewed in the columns of The Freeman by Mr. Lewis, who can bear me out in this statement. I make this announcement as a warning to managers, as I intend to take legal action against Mr. Whipper at once. You're very truly.

STRING BEANS AND BENBOW In Their Second Week at the Wash ington Theater, Indianapolis—Continued Success With Their Musical Comedy Company. (By Billy Lewis.) The String Beans and Benbow musical comedy attraction is still standing. The girls are doing their second week. But very little difference is noted in the size and as to how they receive the show. The opening this week was noted (for the girls) as the girls and the cheery disposition of all. The girls wore new outfits from BABY BENBOW. "tip to tip." The songs were spirited and musical, four numbers being sung in the opening, being set off with neat movements, and dances. Baby Benbow. This little lady has been often referred to, owing to her refreshing, warm skin, as being of splendid stage personality. She is what is spoken of as petit; not only small but accompanied by all the graces that go to mankind. Her childish form is greatly in her favor since it gives the graces of the child of stage genius perhaps the most delightful seen on the stage. Miss Benbion throw away that little girl and mount it or the other kind, making fine success with either, something that only a few perennials can set her off splendidly, appearing as a divine little Turkish lady or Egyp BENBOW AND BABY. tian with her silken trousers and so forth. She was nicely received for the rendition of her Egyptian songs. The lady is a little prize, and who will please wherever she goes. I said last week that Peat was a standard attraction. Perhaps this is about as good a compliment as could be paid him. He is always a success. He is a feminist and a name with him; he actually makes good-looking women all the time. He helps the attraction very much, giving it pleasing variety. He will be remembered as a man who was favorites when the house who were favorites when the house was called the Crown Garden theater. String Bean. Beans appeared to distinct advantage when he essayed a comedy roll something with Ernest Hogan was his best friend with Ernest Hogan was his best days. Here was a true touch of his days when he will do when he is at his zenith as a comedian. He did not forget to Dudley or some one else of that class. The Four Hundred ball was Bean's opportunity and he did not forget to Dudley or some one else of that class. Hogan work but there was much that he did that was similar to the work of that great comedian. Anything he did to his peculiarities to his peculiarities. His planologue took as usual. And nobody showed up to contest him for the superiority in his comedy. William Benbow Benbow showed his capacity as straight this week, which, together with his previous very pleasing entertainment. By the time Benbow was with Beans at the beginning of his career at Montgomery, he was already a successful man. He has done much to make the show a success. He is known for his manhood. The young men of the chorus and the quartet were entertaining in their work all through. The girls were seen playing the instruments and their way no to the ball. These were Ethel Hudson, Marie Burton, Marion Williams, and Rory Williams. The young men are Roy Rush, Willie Rush, Harold Williams and Mr. Jerry Reed. The company leaves for Louis after their present engagement. BLACK SENSATION HEADED EAST Sam Collins, Black Sensation Co., is headed East, and will be seen at the Helen Revels.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW WILSON & WILSON AT GRAND. Moore & Jenkins Make Good on the Last Half of Last Week. The Wilson Brothers were quite the theatrical when they made Monday evening in a monstrous bill of mostly all male performers. Alfred Wilson, the elder, who has been long dialect Negro preacher, again duplicated his former success of a few years ago when he moved to Austin. Wilson's brother, who played Cumbys' old part, is a young comedian who needs development. He could see the skeleton of Cumby, but his dancing on the finish fully qualified. Raynard's Crotia was a Servian serenade characteristic of matrimonial life in their native country. There was a singer who is a good tenor singer and the instrumental sexetite from "Lucia", including the lead on the harp, was especial Six Castillons were aerial tumblers and splendid acrobats. F. E. Gordon was a big fan of the nipular. His egg trick, with the assistance of a young colored boy, was a decided hit. Marsh & Lowerance were a big fan of the scene with the jugglers dressed in similar costume. Their work was a big fan of the man was the best ever. The last half of last week had Patricola, who remained popular all the time. Old Minstrel Many was a good one act play and showed the star to be a man of the moment. The last expression as the curtain dropped was crude for a finish. The Four Pierrots, stilted at first, dressed like an anarchist. The coloredancers. Nole Jesta and Nole were experts on one and two wheeled bicycles, doore and the coloredman. The fair median, who good buck and clog dancer; the comedian copies after Aubrey Lyles of the show. Was hardly original but both were fair singers and pleased. The regular Friday evening Walking the Dog" was hardly original. Cook & Stevens will head the bill. Old Monogram Closes Its Doors Codozoe & Whitson of the Elite With the ringing down of the curtain, last Sunday evening, on the Musical Millers Company, the old Monogram Theatre closed its doors to the public as a vaudeville house. H. B. Miller, proprietor of both the old and new Monograms, has leased the house to Art Doodow and "Lovie Joe" Whitson to be caused in connection with the Elite cafe next door. The Monogram Theatre was first opened as a small picture house by Marks, a pawnbroker, who committed suicide about six years ago. J. Ed. Green afterwards opened the house as a vaudeville theatre under the management of himself and Marion Brooks. Green's health soon failed and at Green's death the house passed into the hands of H. B. Miller, who installed his brother-in-law, Martin B. Klein, as manager. The house played many notable performers and others, including String Beans, who made a reputation there. Sweatman & Dorsey's famous orchestras were also an addition. Fanny Ford and Gertrude Caunders at the New Monogram. I saw a funny star last Monday night when "Mule" Bradford, his wife and I attended a program. The closing of the old Monogram had caused a dullness to hang over the room, and seeing some jolly, so Mr. Ford, of Ford & Ford, appeared and, aside from some of his ancient daffydills and other old monograms, afforded pleasure in talk, songs and dancing, and his over-fat wife, too, is now famous beauty and singer, late of Billy King's Company, was a vocal stature and star, also. Toy & Toy's manager, managers, clever, were also on the bill. And now to renew the old-time favorite with manager, H. B. Miller of Manager Kid, will probably get their heads together; they have and their schooling in life, though but paying proposition when seeing the point.

Miss Emma Elliott entertained a party of friends from New York last Thursday, week in elegant style in the Royce Hotel. Miss Elliott is an adept at making chicken salad. Lew La Mar was in town last week. He looked like a wall flower. He is domiciled in business in Detroit, but he was here trying to clinch a certain book to book under his own management. Sidney Perrin and Joe Sandifer were at the Plaza during the last half of the season, with Gary to follow this week. It is understood that they will have a date at the Grand. Anderson and Goines were in the city last week, at the Red. Al Anderson greeted me at Bell's lunch room. The eastern favorites are at present on the Western Vaudeville Assn. time. Clarence Cameron White, the great vaudeville star of the new St. Marks A. M. E. church, 50th and Wabash Avenue, Monday and Dorset of Boston, a dramatic reader of considerable note, and Mrs. Willie M. Sloan, soprano of this city, will be the accompanist and will expect to be painstaking and cautious in tone moderation. Julius N. Avenson is manager. It is to be said that society will turn out enmassse. Estella Harris and her "Jaz" entertainers were at the Appolo theatre the last half of last week. Miss Harris has a new pet fox, ci de vea, so he is to play the Midway, Alabamba and Academy of the local city times. Pankey and McCarrer are back in town for a few days rest. Mr. Pankey has a new pet fox, ci de vea, so he Pankey says so many things that honestly its almost impossible to even jot the matter down in shorthand. Happy Kimball, the young comedian from the south, is preparing a new act for the cage and elsewhere. Herbert Benson the young singer of the Musical Milleton calls home in Pittsburgh on account of the illness of his father. J. A. Rajah, assisted by Princess Olive Rajah and Costa Villata, playing the role of the teacher, the Western Vaudeville time Nov. 1st. Villata is working the audience with Princes Rajah and makes the act twice and interesting as on former occasions. --- "The Carolina Girls" with Jimmie Marshall and Emmett Anthony opened last week at Miles City Montana with Helena, Butte and Spokane, Wash., to follow. The act which is owned by Teenan Jones and booked through the Simon agency had opened for three days at the Academy before leaving. Wyckiff's Ginger Band which arrived in the city from Milwaukee, Wis., has left for Indianapolis. Its members consist of J. H. Wyckiff, Roy Wolfscale, Donnell Howard, Ed Green, Robert J. Scott, Lockwood Lewis and Oscar Holder. Jennie Ringgold McAdoo is the special entertainer. Lulu Coates and her Crackerjack have returned from Indianapolis. They opened this week at the Parkway, Missy Jones has three lives over boys, Larry Irons, Archie Ware and Wilfrid Blanks. I am always interested in the "picks". They generally make the best comedians on the stage. So I gave them a shop talk. Master Felix Miller of the Musical Millers who was my son at the Grall and supper was present with the party. His ambition had been to be a trap drummer. He has reached his ambition at the age of 17. When the midnight hour had come I sent him home. The Cabarets were well attended last week. The Panama had a wonderful bunch of entertainers up and down stairs. Teenan Jones place was a big-ம், the Panda with a bury Holmes, tenor, and a fine orchestra is doing nicely. The Elite and Ogden cafes continue to be crowded. At the Little Palace, Harry Baskin's entertainers consisting of May Brown, Gussie Smith, The Brown, and The L. A. M. "Dunbar's Old Tini" Darkies consisting of Goodbar, Connelly, Johnson and Turner, the best colored quartette, and the best-called "Celebrity" feted at Hite's Waldorf cafe, Los Angeles, Cal.

King Lyde, old Chicago boys were among the party of welcome. The quartette will open at the same time. The Col. next week They stopped the show both at Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. --- The Thompson-Hoyne squabble over Captain Healey's shake-up does not appear to be a political thunderbolt in a city rocket at the Republican party and quite natal to the missiles scatter over the black belt in the city. The tame exposure of the Beaux-Arts club, formerly the Fekin theatre and the Johnson's place, only brings out the fact that Chicago has really improved its smoking and dancing after hours, nothing more. They prohibit a lot of undesirables and the wide open notority of the cigar bars have been commonly concluded and glaring prostitution circumvented. The Musical Millers Stock Company, which played at the two Monogram theatres during the last two weeks, was the first of the first stage artists and for several reasons which must be defined for their own good, for the sake of others in the profession and the use of the first place the family are pretty good musicians but they need much more attention to the first place they will be able to play before they will be able to play in their own house. The time has been more to me to be a good family. This family does not need any stock company to play the big time. What they do is to play good music and to be good for their musical act, with comedy and dancing by the youngest boy only and the most active and the best of the money they deserve needs to get the money for and out-of-the-way money. The dress comedy is the first line of the "The Is What It" is what will need if Mr. Miller understands what he sees in reading in order to get people to be so good and to be good and to be good for their musical act, with comedy and dancing by the youngest boy only and the most active and the best of the money they deserve needs to get the money for and out-of-the-way money. The dress comedy is the first line of the "The Is What It" is what will need if Mr. Miller understands what he sees in reading in order to get people to be so good and to be good for their musical act, with comedy and dancing by the youngest boy only and the most active and the best of the money they combination. Managers will continue combination but must see the point and show it later. Never Answer Back. (Title quoted from a Speech by Mrs. Booker T. Washington.) When a child with real knowledge of your art, Tells the public all, and your faults know. Never answer back; Bear the foul thought all alone, Public you do your own, So now you're greeted. When your bitter angry passions graduate, Tell your temper to be still, mum and wise; __even answer back; If you lack common sense, Wit grows at your expense, So oft repeated. When the best of critics die and leave the world, A tainment amateurs their flags unforl; Never answer back; The taste is worse'd, The public must be nursed, So you be seated.

Billy Ewings clever drunk was well matched to hit the people with the stuff that is their own particular line. The show brought a great deal of criticism, but the players, because the act could not have been done better. The play simply attacks the most sacred things and will Buster Howler, from the Great Stupper Show, brought us on a way to his home in Florida.

STRING BEANS STILL AT WASH- INGTON THEATER, INDIAN- APOLIS, IND. Tells a Bit of His Experiences to The Freeman Representative—In a Way to Be the Leading Comedian of His Race. (By Billy Lewis.) Last week I had something to say about Dudley hopes to take him over either as a star for a big aggregation or as a partner, depending, perhaps, on what happens. Dudley hopes to take him over either as a star for a big aggregation or as a partner, depending, perhaps, on what happens. This week Beans was very much in evidence at this playhouse, the Washington observatory that he stuffed. He is not known for sticking very close to his lines, depending on his wit and observation, but the stuff that is unexpected. He together with Benbow as straight and the rest of the team are very much the same. Hogan's For Hundred ball. Here he stuck close enough to his lines, taking but little liberty and that little was for him. He is not a part of the same success, owing very much to Beans' conceptions of his spartan. If his future man partners are similar parts for him, where there is "horse play," as it is called, he will walk right away with it, in a way that he would not do, like Eva Tanguay. He doesn't seem to be doing so much; but it is so difficult to imagine it. He is his own copyright. In a conversation with that eccentric comedian he said that when he and his friend were at the invitation of Martin Kline, and who has had much to do in placing Him since that time, they came from the same school. He has having enough success to warrant Mr. Kline to offer them $65 per week. At first the style of work, he says, was a bit more formal, but the legitimate. He says that he found it necessary to do what his audiences expected of him. He found what they expected of him. He found that since, and everybody knows with what success, he has made all kinds of money, being easy the best attraction of colored show business. But he seems more anxious to do something that he would not do, to make money. He is ambitious to do notcher, and unless all signs fail he will reach his mark. The manager he has met with him to the best in comedy will do something big for both himself and Beans. He is very popular with all classes who are interested in comedy thoroughly enjoyed. His comedianism at times is of the very highest order. And if he can be held to those high standards all the time his future is assured. GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THE ATRE. PHILADELPHIA. Appreciation of the new bill of acts scheduled this week at Gibson's New Standard Theatre fetch applause all week that reaches crescendo with the new musical, the clever musical entertainers who are Philadelphia boys, coming from an old adobe building family. They are certainly adept at creating the theatre and they make a splendid impression with their high class musical act and soon the audience unites in their admiration of their which brings murmurs of approbation. They perform artistically on the slide tuba concerto and colloin Bob Kelly, the cornet composer, ducer, and his partner, Gocin Catlin, in a skit of their own, "The Chinaman and the Snake," the snake talk, and with the assistance of a new $200 drop they produce much laughter—just what the act is meant to do. Without a name, but has a number—that all, and his philosophy is humorous. George Catlin has the reputation of being one of the most comic songs with unction and "balls the pack" so cleverly that the patrons are lot to part with her and Bradford Catlin, the comedian, pany, with their popularity have caught the people of this city and are appearing this week for the third time in sucessy skit, "Luciana Greens' Wedding," in which they introduce a number of new things, including dancing and a new musical, which are spred up to the limit.

A "big-head" is significant of a small intellect. Don't drift with the tide; set the prow of your boat toward success, be sure that your steering gear is in and let nothing drive you from your course until you reach the goal. Consider color a handicap, not a bar to success. The road to success is a rough one and cannot be negotiated by cowards. A "swell-head" throws many a one off their equilibrium and allows one to trip up and fall at the very threshold of success. Take care of your work and your business take care of itself. If your market price does not increase there is something wrong with the market. You will cease just about what we are worth. Give the very best that you have and sooner or later you work will be worth and you will receive wages worthy of your hire. If you are dissatisfied with your job, quit; but don't quit until you have found a job that will be able to secure that the new job is a better one before quitting the old one. The reason that the army of the unemployed has been the major of the men enlisted, quit their old jobs before they had found better ones. Members of all the theatrical companies who have been fortunate enough to work in the theater house, West Baden, Ind., will be grieved to learn of the death of the venerable theater house, West Baden Opera House, Col. Lee Sinclair. W. J. Prow, manager of the West Baden Opera House, the venerable theater Journal, has written a beautiful story of the life and glorious achievements of the hotel manager, counted as the eighth wonder of the world, stands a magnificent monument to the thrill, the intricate and constructive ability of its lamented owner. We played the Soldiers' Home, Johnson City, Tenn., and the grizzled old veteran of the town and enjoyed seeing "How Newton Prepared." All were delighted with the performance. Bowed, bent and erect, the old soldiers are making their bravest fight against unconquerable Time. Relentlessly, they will erect, are fighting every inch of the way, holding on tenaciously. Their ranks are thinning and weak, and they are fighting their every footstep. But they face this imperial tyrant with the same courage, and they are slapping their cannon's mouth. Back of the Home is the last resting place of these honored veterans, and with mathematical precision, are rapidly increasing in number, and in a few years, very well, they are soldier answer to the roll call of his Creator, join the army triumphant and serve through eternity beneath the glorious banner of The Prince of . . . The Smart Set Company made a triumphal tour of Virginia, Norfolk, Newport News and in earnest enthusiasm and pronounced it the best Smart Set production that has yet toured that state. Col. Lewis, editor of the Newport News Star and his faithful helpmate, Lillain Lewis, proprietress of the WeUgah hotel, are the most conspicuous business life. They stand for all that is highest and best in both the Mrs. Lewis is the originator of the Mrs. Grow Hair Tonic, which has a large second only to the South and stands second only to Madame Walker in this line of work. Criticisms of "How Newton Walken Prepared," by the dramatic editors of the leading colored journals and was the leading author of the South, prove interesting to the readers of this column. Prof. Grey in The Philadelphia Tribune "How Newtown Prepared," should be one of the enduring highlights of this home scenic investiture, the tasteful costuming, the chorus, the incidental music and the movies, the incarnate art of "After the Storm." And Saved with good effect are features to win applause, and maintained from the time we get acquainted at "Possum Corners. Newtown, until the elimination of a few faulty lines and improvement on the closing of the second act, the compact and as satisfying a musical comedy as one could desire. Take it all in all it is a smart entertainment in every particular." From the Amstetten News, N. Y. "How Newtown Prepared" is a satisfying entertainment and reflects great credit on its producers and originators." "That Whitney and Tutt could, after so short a time, stage an attraction that would be a great show," Lafayette this week, speaks volumes for these two artists who have for so many seasons stemmed the excitement before the public something worth while. Salem Tutt Whitney J. H. Hoover, a former student at the school to improve with age, and their work Dear H. H: T. I am a stage-struck girl. In fact, I finished the correspondence with the author.

Read the Freeman weekly and look out for big fall number of mine. Dear Hot; I am a female wrestler in the new production is of a high order. We have spoken so much with in the past month of 'How Newtown was' that we have a length of this splendid vehicle. On the whole, for an evening's enjoyment we recommend our readers to make a visit to the Lafayette theater this week and witness this sure cure for blues. By Luclen White—New York Age. "How Newtown Prepared," with Whitney, Tutt and Thompson at the Lafayette. This play will probably serve to maintain their popularity, and to maintain their reputation. The book is clumsily constructed and awkwardly expressed. There is no particularly striking musicality, but the character three, and he is a past-master in the art of expressing droll comedy with an absence of visible effort. He is droll and amusing and an unpleasant form, never in better working condition. J. Homer Tutt, as "Sam Cain," has a number of opportunities to form him in formiering creations of the sartorial art, including the uniform of an officer in the army, in a droll and graceful appearance. Miss Thompson is as charming and graceful as ever, and has all the subtly required for the portrayal of the character allotted to R. W. Thompson—The Freeman and The Eagle. "How Newtown Prepared." The playwright put the piece together "for the continuous roar of laughter which greeted the witty salads and comic situations, the bookmakers wrought the continuous roar of laughter, exceptional pretty girls and they were as sprightly and well trained as particularly in the scenes. The costumes were fresh and showed up beautifully in the big scenes, particularly in the scenes. The plot of brilliant color. The Whitney-Tutt-Thompson aggregation deserves great credit for their sarcastic keepers in courage in blazing the way to higher things in stage life and for their sarcastic keepers in company together on everybody else was falling by the wayside in despair. From the Norfolk Ledger-Despatch— White Dally, "The Smart Set" Given At Colonial Alliance, the production Production Gets Hearty Re- An all-Negro cast produced "The Smart Set" at the Colonial last night. This play and its companion, the Colonial Norfolk, gave them a hearty welcome. There is a sterling worth about this play which reflects credit for its production, producing it. The The Smart Set offers something really unique and interesting, and there are some good, that is, where the colored actors played most naturally. The cast ranged, in shade, from the darkest part of the play, to the ebony black of the principal comedians. Salem Whitney, as George Washington, and put it across well. There was an abundance of music which was far above passable. The chorus was exceedingly well appealed in quite attractive costumes. The staging of the performance was rather interesting, as scenes from the second act, opening hode to Allah deserves especial mention. Its effect was pretty spectacular, worthy and calls for favorable comment on its producers and creators. The Smart Set Company, headed by Blanche Thompson, Tutt Whitney and Homer Tutt, played a double date at the Columbia yesterday to a house which, though slightly top heavy, showed marked enthusiasm and interest down stairs. Tutt Whitney and his aggregation have been coming to Bristol for years and he has a following here who vote him one of the most intelligent exponents of the peculiarities of his race and though the show takes on polish as the time goes by, this colored boy still holds fast to the traits that brought him into popularity more than a decade ago and gives a first class delineation of the careless happy go lucky Negro characteristics as we know them in the South. On the other hand Blanche Thompson and Homer Tutt are exponents of a more advanced stage and put over some stuff that marks them artists in an altogether different line. They leave the old idea of minstrelsy in the back ground and work up much aesthetic stuff that would be of credit to many white performers of pretense and incrementality to furnish an excellent feed." to the comedy of Whitney, and relieve the comedy of any suspicion of its being forced To the credit of the principals of the aggregation, too, and stage their concoctions and are constantly adding to their fun making them more witnesses an improvement in their productions and the way they put them on stage, also figures in the comedy of the production, while Carrie King features in the song numbers, and female voices furnishes and female voices furnishes ensembles of considerable note in which voices of marked ability are noticeable. The production is extremely well suited to the extended patronage that it is acquiring and adding to each season. who wants to join a show, work in vaudville or something to earn a few dollars in Texas, therefore, would like for you to recommend some of your friends in this part of the country to you. You may be successful. Now, Hot, you know it will be quite difficult for me to find a lady partner to take up with some gentleman. My hair is very long. You think that in rough clinching the gentleman will get caught in my hair and are very invisible. And when you recommend, Athletic Alice. Answer—Chinz Moore is the one for the place. You need not worry about your hair, but if Chinz ever gets to fumbling around your collar—GOOD TEN DARK KNIGHTS (By Pearl Moppire.) We are the feature act at McVicker's Theatre for the week of October 9th and will be open virtually with a lot of fun and merriment. The act goes even greater down town in the loop district, which speaks to the city's affluence at the smaller theaters in Chicago.

"Little Arthur" Receives Offer from Clermont Sporting Club of Brooklyn and His Fight With Gibbons on Oct. 18 May Be His Last Appearance Here. "Little Arthur" Stigall, the colorful fighter who came to Cumberland several months ago and who set the fight by his clever boxing, has been successful in securing a match with Tommy Gibbons, of New York, for a ten-minute fight with the Elite Club of Frostburg, Wednesday night, October 18. It will be the first time that Stigall has stepped in to fight with Gibbons in an excellent record, having fought such boys as Willie Sanger, K. O. Grant, and a great many others. Gibbons defeated Young Hallman at Altoona on September 27, and challenged the winner. At the time the challenge was made the fight was to have taken place at Altoona, but Gibbons was unable to make the guarantee worth while for Gibbons to come to Frostburg, the Eureka Club was successful in landing the victory—The Cumberland Evening News.

Melissa the Southern light-heavyweight champion. When he played to an invitation affair for women only and a crowd of three hundred soared the ballroom as the champion as he went through his calisthenics on the ballroom floor of the theatre. Mears was attired in full length green silk court shoes and fast rounds with his sparring partners. Miss Priscilla and several of the society girls watched the champion in his court shoes and used two men in his boxing workout. He went through eight boxes of boxing in addition to his other workouts. Brown and Washington were the new faces seen in the ring against Battling Mears.

Battling Mears may never fight again if he is beaten in this fight, and he may be, as he has been out of the ring for nine months, but he is showing to be in fairly good condition, having knocked out all of his sparring partners that have worked with him for the fight. If Mears is beaten no doubt he will be willing to give up the game, as he is the owner of a beautiful little farm and a bungalow home, and too, lost his father a few weeks ago, and it is well understood that he carried insurance to the amount of something over eighty-one hundred dollars. Mears is a long kid, standing 6 feet 1 inch in his stocking feet and weighing around 180 or 185 pounds. He hails from the Windy City. He predicts going East about January if he is successful in this fight. He will not be afraid to tackle any of the heavies, as Jones has been known as one of the hardest boys that ever entered this state, winning over some good ones in easy form. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT. George Dixon claims the Colored championship for 116 to 120 pounds, and any boy in the world will class. Dixon says that he will make 115 pounds to meet the Young Zulu Kid, winner take all.

They don't think that because a man's skin is black he should be persecuted and be punished." "I'm not broke, as some of the American paper companies broke.

The house was sold out Sunday night before the orchestra went into the pit.
