Let the New Year liars get themselves ready for business, as next Tuesday will be their time to act. If the Thanksgiving bird was not converted into a Christmas gift then it would so appear from the number sold. Even Charley Beckingham will not deny that he got more Christmas than he had the remotest idea of ever getting. Editor Ryan of The Forum of Tacoma got busy the last fifteen days in December and turned out a most creditable Christmas edition. Twenty turkeys for 100 prisoners may not have been a square deal from their viewpoint but it was a mighty big turkey deal for their stomachs. Chester Thorn for United States senator. Oh well, he is about on a par with Ankeny, who has barrels of money, but only a thimble full of sense. Mayor Moore is to be relieved of his double veto, so says the councilmen. If he was relieved of his single one at the same time Seattle would be a million times better off. Next Tuesday the black man of the United States will have cause to remember one A. Lincoln was once president of the United States. It was for a Seattle highwayman to be the first man to successfully find a woman's pocket. He was deserving of a better fate than a seventy-five cent reward. Sidney Sloan did not eat Christmas turkey at home, nor did he eat it in murderer's cell, as a jury of twelve men good and true decided Sidney did not do it. Grafted white skin on a black man has turned black. We can understand now why miscegenating with the Negro is so bitterly LE REPUBLIC SEATTLLE, WASHINGTON DECEMBER 21, 1906. opposed by many Caucasians—the Negro part would soon eat up the Caucasian part. Next. In the Washington street Christmas antipolice riots no Negroes participated, hence the associate press could not consistently send out a race riot report, which must have been a bitter disappointment to that bunch of news gatherers. And now the Blethens propose to own as many papers as Sammy Perkins and to that end they have two in Bellingham, two in Seattle and are making arrangements to own one in Everett and likewise one in Tacoma. Evidently they have the newspaper craze. "Former Senator Brown of Utah was not a Mormon," says the P.-I. The fact that he deserted the woman that made him was proof sufficient that he was not, for Mormons never go back on their women. Deserting the woman that makes them is purely a Christian type of Anglo-American citizenship. It is the truth that hurts, and that is why the Daily Swillbarrel had double fits when The Seattle Republican said Kenneth Mackintosh's candidacy for congress to succeed Humphrey would die a bornin for no other reason than because it would be supported by Blethonibus and his paper, but it's so. Colonel, "sho as shootin'." Having tired of conquering commercial worlds Samuel Hill threatens to break into the magic lantern business and begin a tour of barn-storming. It seems to be hard for men with millions to devise sufficient ways for the amusement of themselves. However, Sam Hill is one bloated bond holder that is on "good roads" for health and happiness not only for himself, but everybody else. Weyerhauser is richer than Rockefeller. He may have been when the report first went out, but when Rockefeller hears of it the price of kerosene will go so high that it will never come back till the Fourth of July and as a result a billion dollars will be added to his already uncountable fortune, all done for no other purpose than to be the richest man in the world. That alleged race riot down in Mississippi proved to be of the usual stripe of riots in the South, the whites rioting and the blacks running. The expert sharpshooters, however, winged ten of the fleeing blacks, which was a pretty good day's sport. We suppose the apologists for such outrages will say, "the darkies ought to learn to run faster if they want to keep down riots and save their lives." It is extremely doubtful whether a judge of a superior court in this state can legally send a person acquitted of murder in the first --- BLICAN degree on the grounds of insanity to the penitentiary for confinement therein. A person who is acquitted of murder on the grounds of insanity may be sent to an insane asylum and can only be held there so long as he shows signs of insanity. It seems that it would be wise for the various states of the Union to adopt the old English law, which provides life imprisonment in an asylum for any one found not guilty of murder on the grounds of insanity at the time the tragedy was committed. Sidney Sloan, the Spokane boy fratricide, has been committed to the state penitentiary by the trial judge, which is but inviting another big law suit and thus put the state to further expense. Sloan should be sent to the asylum, but if he is not now crazy the state has no legal right to detain him there. Our laws are lax in this particular and the only thing to do is for the legislature to strengthen the weak points. Just where the state of Washington is to get the $1,000,000 asked for the Seattle-Yukon exposition and the $250,000 asked for the improvement of the Columbia river is a puzzling problem. It is estimated that the state institutions and the various departments will require $4,259,000 for the next ditional required for the two projects mentioned the total budget will be $5,559,000. From general taxation for the next two years it is figured the state may receive $2,544,000.—Walla Walla Union. By stopping the leaks at the various state institutions. A bold stagger in that direction may be made. Someone has figured out that if the next legislature appropriates $1,000,000 for the Alaskan-Yukon-Pacific exposition, Whitman county will have to contribute over $56,000 in additional taxes. The exposition is a commendable project, but this state is in no position to contribute $1,000,00, and this county will strenuously object to an additional tax of $56,000.—Commoner. Whitman is found fighting everything from which she does not gain a direct profit. The Seattle Times has taken up the management of the next Republican legislature at Olympia. It claims to be doing this in behalf of Senator Piles. But the truth of the matter is of course that Blethen cannot bear to see anything run in the state without his meddling. It matters not what party is in power he must be consulted. Piles can be elected again a blamed sight easier without Mr. Blethen than he can with his aid. There is no opposition to Piles. He is making a valuable Senator, but the Washington legislature will have something to do besides listening to the Seattle Times.—White River Journal. Even to running to Judge Frater's court when he makes rulings contrary to the ideas along the line Blethonibus has ideas. APR 29 1952 CAN PRICE TEN CENTS. X * * * * * * Lage 2 Political: Pot-Pie To ‘sueceed: the late Charley Baker as county commissioner, Commissioners P. J. Smith and Dan Abrahams named Charles Beckingham of the Seventh ward of Seattle. The crop of candidates was rather limited in view of the fact it paved the way for elec- tion at the next regular election. Aught can- not be said against Beckingham and the Pie- maker believes he will make a competent offir cial, but it does seem that the commission- ers were in an awful hurry to fill the va- eaney. The selection of Beckingham as com- missioner left the position of purchasing agent vacant, which will not be filled until the new board is organized, and it is hinted that Commissioner P. J. Smith or John Wooding will pull the plum. If in the past the county affairs have been dominated by the ‘‘south district’? push, it has been noth- ing to what it’s going to be. ** # Speaking about the election of Becking- ham reminds the Pie-maker that Frank H. Paul’s name was used in connection with the election, without his knowledge or consent, and some one interested in the other candi- date’s election inspired a reporter on the Swillbarrel to publish an article against Paul, which is nothing short of criminal. Mr. Paul was not nor is not a candidate for office and it is not in the legal province of a newspaper to hold any man up to public ridicule and exposure, though there be grounds for it, un- less it be done to save the publie from being imposed upon, and as said above, Mr. Paul had nor has no intention of aspiring for that or any other office. Mr. Paul has ample grounds to institute both criminal and civil proceedings against the Swillbarrel and should do so at once. * * * “T believe I am well aware of the person who doped Johnny Dore into publishing what he did about me, and some day I perhaps will be able to repay the gentleman with com- pound interest. Men who are always in tha lime-light for some kind of a publie office should be very careful about attacking one man to serve the purpose of another, and, as said above, sooner or later I may be able to repay my friend with compound interest,’’ said Frank H. Paul one day this week. *- * * The Cosmopolitan for January has an ex- tensive article on Weyerhaeuser, the timber king, who, it claims, is more wealthy than Rockefeller or any other one man in the world. It also speaks of R. L. MeCormick as an associate in business with him and fur- ther declares McCormick is in closer touch with him and enjoys a greater degree of con- fidence with the lumber king than any one else. R. L. MeCormick, it will be remem- bered, is a candidate for United States sen- ator to succeed Senator Ankeny, and it is being hinted that when Ankeny can be brought around to seeing that even two ‘barrels’? will not pull him through, the greater part of his strength will go to Me- Cormick, which if true will mean that ha “Oh, yes! I am in favor of a direct pri- ser eee GS "THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN mary law,’’ said a well known politician one day this week, ‘‘but not to include the elee- tion of a United States senator, and unles* I miss my guess that’s the kind of a direct primary law the next legislature will pass— that is to say, a law that will include all the state, county and municipal officials.’”’ Such a law will not meet the demands of the pevu- ple and if passed it will be inviting a fight on the next Republican ticket that might re- sult disastrously. (By the Old Politician.) “For ways that are dark And tricks that are vain, The Heathen Chinee is peculiar.’ These lines as a text bring to my mind that we are fast approaching the harvest fes- tival of the practical politician. For months past the Croekers, Stevensons, Bakers and others of those who make their citizenship subsidiary to profitable polities, have been spending their Walla Walla uncle’s money to get ‘‘the boys in line’? and now the time is fast nearing when handsome profits are promised on the money invested. The leg- jslature is to meet! Those who have here- tofore profited by special legislation, will be again called upon to contribute for com tinued favors. The railroad commission bill will have to be amended and none but the railroads will be asked to make a direct con- tribution, although it is well understood that, ultimately the dear deluded people will have made good any deficits found in cor- poration exchequers. Smaller pay streaks will be uncovered, for, be it understood that the political financiers overlook no white . : “ee Z Be 3 7 z Cate 7 x, be BW a & Reh Oe ae i: E a os Be aah Ae ite Ore Pe ee Bee a Be, j a te ee oe é ee a eo ef ce ee Eee Bee ee SEE (4 oe Cee vy es a Ree a ag | : RR Wi.

Had these birds of prey not been in nature cowards, instead of attempting to amend the state constitu- tion so that the law of eminent domain might be extended to the appropriation of private property for private purposes, they would go directly to the state vaults and re- lieve the people of any unnecessary burden, but, owing to their timid natures they have satisfied themselves by only removing state revenues by indirect methods. That is, the railroads are muleted only in turn to de- mand repayment of the taxpayer. The log. ger is taxed and we pay more for lumber; street railways demand ‘special privileges and we get poorer service; the fish cannery- man danees to the music of the lobby and consequently canned salmon goes up and the income of the fisherman falls in pro- portion. The American flag floating over our state house is a misnomer; it should be red, traversed by white letters bearing the legend “*Auction Sale.’’ The same men using the same methods have, year after year, plied their vocation. None quits his lucrative practice unless called hence and the latter contingeney seldom occurs, as we all know, want and death stalk hand in hand, while O48 LEGIT Mk enol tek sa rel aay December 28 1906 Aiea. 4 eet Ree ee ect RGR OROTRL MESS pe PO Mae oS Pepe ay aren oS pe ee Pr Peet geo ae Bf és S BASE ATT: a : Bere |.

The fight inaugurated by Senator Booth and others to wrest the appointment of committees from the president of the senate is the real battle of the people of this state to eliminate graft from the legislature. It must be remembered that all legislation fraught with good to the people has been killed in the senate. While the house has made mistakes; has had its corrupt members and has often been found wanting, yet it is to the senate which after all we owe almost all our vicious legislation and most of the pernicious practices which go on at Olympia between the opening and closing of the legislature. The "push" in the upper house, by allowing its presiding officer to participate in the good things offered by the combination, control the senate committees and the committees backed by a united force always manage to block any legislation inimical to its interests as well as to carry through those things which give promise of financial profit. Mr. Booth and others of the senate-elect, protest against the methods of the past and insist that a caucus of the upper house indicate to the presiding officer the personnel of the several committees, hoping by this method to overcome the evils of the past.—King County News. * * * The official vote of the state of Washington in the recent election shows that 114, 747 votes were cast. The Republican plurality as computed from the congressional vote was 40,686. In the general election of 1904 with the excitement of a national and state election the total vote was 145,151, and the highest Republican plurality 73,442. The first proposed amendment to the state constitution lost by 1,786 votes, while the second, giving logging concerns the right of eminent domain, was defeated by 5,727. The Socialists cast 8,431, as against 10,028 in 1904. The Prohibitionists polled 2,584, as against 3,229 in 1904.—News Item. * * * Eugene B. Hyde, former receiver of the U. S. land office at Spokane, is being boosted for the nomination for mayor of that city on the Republican ticket. Mr. Hyde is one of the cleanest and most influential men the city has, and if elected would give the city a clean, business-like administration, and it's a cinch that most of the lobsters on the city hall pay roll would be compelled to seek greener pastures.—Exchange. \* \* \* Yes, dear reader, the last one of the members of the Young Men's Republican Club has gotten an office. GROWTH OF WEALTH Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Agricul-presents figures of crop values for 1906 which fairly stagger the imagination. The total value on the farms is $6,794,000,000. Small wonder that raliroad traffic is congested T THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN And full explanation lies herein of industrial expansion. Crops are the basis of conditions. It is impossible or the intellect to mirror such figures, but it is easy enough to comprehend that they spell wealth for our agricultural producers, who are so large an element of our population. Every farmer and planter enters the much-berated capitalist class—becomes a buyer of manufactured articles of all kinds, from the most common necessaries to the costliest luxuries. Thus the wealth dug from the earth flows as a beneficent stream through every channel of commerce. Some illustrative comparisons are made. Total crop value for one year comes close to the entire capitalization of the country's railroads. The value of the corn crop approximates that of the Steel Corporation. The value of the cotton crop is close to that of the Standard Oil Company. Indeed, such illustrations could be indefinitely extended. It seems to us that this vast wealth-producing race of farmers are not in need of paternalistic nursing; nor need they stand in fear of railroads or trusts of any kind. To paraphrase the old Jingo lines: "They've got the farms, they've got the men They've got the money, too." Important, too, vastly important, is the grasp these crops give us on international trade. We become the great food-house of the world at a time when consumptive demand is greater than ever—when every bushel of grain and every pound of cotton left after supplying our own enormous consumption can be sold profitably abroad. Wonderful is the transformation from conditions existing only a few years ago. Bradstreet must doff its hat to the American farmer—must sooner or later realize that the sod of toil is putting effective veto on theories which seek to discredit prosperity. Even the American hen clucks defiance at pessimism as she generouslff adds to the national wealth. Nor is there the least sign of retrogression.—Wall Street Daily News.

If such a war of extermiantion should ever come on and should the dark races wipe out the white races that would simply be another instance of history repeating itself. We learn from the Bible that at the time of and before and after the days of King Solomon, the black race or the race now styled Negro ruled the world. In them rested the civilized arts and the inhabitants of the world were theirs for slaves. Then centuries past and the white races became the masters of the blacks, whose conquering reign of ages came to an end at the overthrow of Carthage. Nearly two thousand years have passed since the fall of Carthage and according to Du Bois' philosophy the world is ripe for another war of extermination and the next turn of the wheel of Time may bring the Mongolian or Yellow race to the mastership of the world. How easy it is for the philosopher and the writer to seem to see a swinging to and fro of the pendulum of the Clock of Time sweeping nations and races into the sea of oblivion, but after all is there merit in such prophecies? If men are able to settle personal differences why are not nations and races able to settle contentions without resorting to wars of exterminations? Either there is no Alwise who rules the universe or He has a motive in such wars that it is beyond the mind of man to comprehend. But through all the ages of which we have any record it has been a rising and falling of nations and a ruling and a conquering of races. The Negro Press throughout the country is almost a unit in its fierce denunciation of Prof. Booker T. Washington and it has only an excuse for so doing Prof. Washington's preaching of peace between the whites and the blacks of the United States. What strange freaks come over an oppressed people. Like the human beings who suddenly loses a sound mind their best and closest friends become their most deadly enemies. Prof. Washington may see the settling of the race troubles in this country from a different view of point than an overwhelming majority of the other members of his race, nevertheless he sees it as he does see it and is entitled to his viewpoint without being villified by his brethren or any one else. But from whatever viewpoint he may see it, whether in the main right or wrong, every act and every move that has been made by Booker T. Washington seems to have been done with no other purpose than the gaining of a new foothold for the black man. Grant he has to an extent truckled to Southern white sentiment as to the black man still in truckling to that sentiment he has been able to place black artisans in positions they never would have otherwise been able to have attained had not Booker Washington vouched for them. There is an anti-Negro feeling among the whites all over the United States and at some THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN places more pronounced than at others; therefore with this feeling prevalent every where the black man has two courses to pursue in order to succeed. First pick up bag and baggage and go to some other country, which is either uninhabited or inhabited only by black folk with whom they can soon assimilate. Secondly, remain in the United States and use diplomacy—that is make haste slowly—just as Booker T. Washington is teaching. But whether go or stay there is no justification in Negro editors eternally holding up Booker T. Washington as an enemy and a traitor to the black folk of the United States, when they know they are simply lying like dogs and deceiving the public. The Negro member of the Mississippi legislature in reconstruction days, who, after dictating an exhaustive letter to his family, which lauded himself to the skies, and started it to the postoffice, but who subsequently overtook the writer and plead with him to open the letter as he had forgotten something, which after being done dramatically drew himself to his full height and said, "darfore, dat's big word, put dat in too," has found his equal in an Afro-American deacon of the Negro Baptist church in Virginia, who is on the foreign missionary board. A number of well educated young Negro men made application to be sent to South Africa as missionaries. They were put through an exhaustive examination, but every one of them failed and when they questioned the "deacon" on what points they failed he said because you could not tell the name of Lazarus' dog. “‘Well, how do you expect us to know the dog's name? It isn't mentioned in any ecclesiastical work,’ answered the students. “‘Yes, it is,’ replied the deacon, and turning to the Bible, he read the verse: 'Moreover, the dog came and licked the sores of Lazarus.' 'There it is,’ said the old man gravely. 'You didn't know the dog's name was 'Moreover,' so we couldn't pass you.'' Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise. ROOSEVELT RUNS RIOT. It begins to look as if President Theodore Roosevelt is to reverse himself on the rights of the black man of this country just as did Andrew Johnson, the vice president, who became president after the assassination of the immortal Lincoln. Prior to Johnson's election he was looked upon as the Moses of the Negro, and the very mention of his name brought joy to their hearts and his elevation to the presidency inspired them to hope that even more, if such was possible, would be done for them than had been done at the hands of the saintly Lincoln. But in Andrew Johnson, who hailed from the "po' white trash" element of the South, there was a lingering desire to be a great captain among the "blue bloods" of the South and when they prostrated themselves before him as president of the United States one of them, it was more than he could stand and he at once deserted the forces that put him in power and endeavored to surrender the United States to the Southern rebels. December 28.1906 and reminded him of the fact that he was OUR PRESIDENT THEODORE PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT, So often did he attempt it and so bold and flagrant did he become in those attempts that patience with the Union men in congress ceased to be a virtue, and he barely escaped impeachment at their hands. When, however, he retired from the White House it was more like leaving a prison than from the most honored spot in the hearts of the greatest nation on earth. He showed no friendship for the down-trodden people after he become a Southern sympathizer. Theodore Roosevelt was the first president of this country since Lincoln that went out of his way to announce with blaring trumpets from the house top that he stood for a "square deal for the black man,' that because a man's skin was black he would never "shut the door of hope against him," and yet despite those protestations of friendship for the black man, he after a few visits to the South, where the Southern gentry prostrated themselves at his feet and reminded him of the fact that he was "half a Southern" and for that reason should not interfere with the South in the treatment it meted out to the Negro, seems to have been completely captured by the Southerners and since that time the black man has received but little consideration at the hands of President Theodore Roosevelt. The president's threat that he will veto any measure that congress may pass with the view of reinstanting the companies discharged without honor and if the measure is passed over his veto, he will not enforce the measure even though it brings about impeach, ment proceedings, shows how bitter he has become against the man for whom he stood for a square deal but a short time since. The president has been grossly imposed upon by a lot of heartless Southern whelps and he can but realize that now, but rather than see the rebels of the South set down on he becomes vindictive and jeopardizes his own honor and good name. President Theodore Roosevelt, like President Andrew Johnson, will never be impeached and perhaps never have to face an impeachment court, but he will get some severe jolts, yes, so severe that his final retiring from office like Johnson will by no means be in a flame of glory. The president's special message which implied that the Negro soldiers were the aggressors in that Brownsville riot may or may not be true, for even white men, and ‘December 28, 1906 one a Southerner, do not agree with his al- legations. We, however, are yet of the opin. ion that the president bélieves he is right, only he has taken the views of prejudiced men on which to base his belief. SOUTHERN MAN’S IDEAS. Speaking about President Roosevelt’s ap- parent change of heart as to a square deal for the black man of this country the fol- lowing from John Temple Graves, editor of the Atlanta of Atlanta, Ga., will show the drift of thought along this line: “Tt is quite evident that the president has learned much about the Negro that he did not know when he entered upon his official life. A good deal of the merely theoretical philanthrophy of those earlier days has faded in the closer study and observation of the race which has so long aspired to rest as the wards of the nation. The president’s two Southern visits, the Brownsville inci- dent and other developments in connection with the Negro race, have opened his eyes to a clearer comprehension of the Southern problem than he has enjoyed before, and this larger vision is distinctly expressed in the very wholesome and acceptable recom- mendations which the president embodies in his message. Mr. Roosevelt has doubtless learned much and like the brave man that he is, does not hesitate to tacitly confess his errors of pre- vious judgment, and to accept the lessons which time and closer observation have taught him. Atlanta’s hospitality was not spent in vain, nor were the series of receptions ae- corded Mr. Roosevelt by the Southern cities without the wholesome and delectable fruits of information and reformation.”’ NORTHERN MAN TALKS. The following from the editor of the Post- Intelligencer of Seattle, who is a Northern man by birth, but who early went South and for years resided in Atlanta, where he sub- sequently married a Southern lady, will give the reader a different viewpoint of the presi: dent and his erities: Negroes, and organizations composed of Negroes, will not gain anything by abusing and denouncing President Roosevelt on ae- count of his dismissal of Negro soldiers im- plicated in the disgraceful affair at Browns- ville, Tex. The fact is, Negroes who hava been heaping abuse upon the president on account of his attitude toward the Browns- ville soldiers are merely aggravating a bad situation, and besides are not doing the square thing, or the decent thing, by the president of the United States. President Roosevelt, in the nature of the case, knows more about what actually hap- pened at Brownsville than his intemperate eritics know, and while he may have made some mistake in sweeping an entire battal- ion from the service on accoutn of the mis- deeds of a few men, he has shown a frank and friendly attitude toward the Negroes dismissed which leaves little room to doubt that he will finally right any wrong which may have been done individual members of the companies booted out of the service. In view of these facts, there is little rea- son for the intemperate speech many Negroes THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN —THE HOUSE OF QUALIT — \e carry the greatest line of PIANos in the world...... —VICTOR TALKING MACHINES— SHERMAN, CLAY & CO. seeeee 1406 2ND AVENUE are indulging now over the Brownsville in- cident. Nor is there any special reason why the United States senate should work itself into a fine frenzy over the affair. It has been apparent from the beginning that presi- dent Roosevelt intended to deal justly with members of the companies who were really without blame; yet Negro leaders in all parts of the country have utterly failed to credit the president with any such motive; on the other hand, they have persisted in the policy of abusing him because of a supposed in- justice to innocent and unoffending members of the companies dismissed. No good can come of such conduct. Presi- dent Roosevelt has not deserved the abuse heaped upon him. From the very beginning he has shown a disposition to do the square and decent thing, and it is difficult to under- stand why the Negroes and their pretended friends in and out of the United States sen- ate should ask for more than this. Negroes innocent of blame in the Brownsville affair will in the end get justice. Negroes who de- serve to be punished will be and should be punished. The additional investigation about to be made will probably result in drawing the line sharply between the good and the bad of the flock, and the country will probably be given the truth and the whole truth.

HARRIS ELDON'S GORGEOUS COMEDY THE BELLE OF JAPAN BY A. GORDON COMEDY OO'S LOVEY IS OO? "Tilly Olson," the Swedish comedy at the Seattle Theatre this week, is just as good as any other of its character or kind. It would bear comparison with "Yon Yonson," "Ole Olson" and others, and the novelty of a Swedish heroine will appeal to lots of people. Emily Erickson Green, who plays the part of "Tilly Olson," is a Swede to the manor born; of course her dialect is perfect, and she does not exaggerate the character beyond the limit of dramatic possibilities. True, some of the situations are necessarily exaggerated, but the character is always within the scope of probability. The management is wise in the selection of his company, for a more competent cast has not been seen at a popular priced theatre here for a year; and, as a fact, there are a great many actors appearing at the high priced houses, that would not stand comparison with the company at the Seattle Theatre this week. "Tilly Olson" will be at the Seattle Theatre until Saturday night, December 29th.

It remained for G. Harris Eldon to commission that well known American dramatist, H. Grattan Donnelly, to take up that country and present it to the theatre goers in its true light. To be accurate and to gain full knowledge of the Japanese, Mr. Donnelly made a trip to Japan and his observations while there furnished him his plto for this comedy drama, that will be a revelation to all. The beautiful scenery and costumes will be especially attractive, but they will be secondary compared to the singing, dancing and comedy which pervades throughout the entire performance.
