 SEE OURSELVES AS OTHERS SEE Us.-It is said negro cannot initiate bis own characteristics. Though full of .eomical concets, original humor, prone to look upon the ludicrous side of all things save religion and death, he cannot go on the mimic stage and make others laugh at his portrayal of humor peculiar to his people. It was left for the white man to make the humor of the negro race. Popular in theatrical performance, E. M. Hall, Al G. Field, Tommy Donnelly, Harry Shunk, Billy Moore, Doc Quigley, Harry Howard and Eddie Horan are all we'll known names to those who enjoy good negro comedy. These stars are with the Al G. Field min strels and will be at O'Brien's opera house tonight.
