will mover again be guilty of going to

sermon began, the sexton turned down

yielded to II desire to sleep. He came
suddenly to his senses, however, when
the minister exclaimed, loudly, " More
light! more light. :"

realized that he had made AZ mistake,
even before some one told him that the
minister had been quoting the dying

THE THEATRES

"The Suwanee River" may be q mus
ical farce. but it is really only another
form Of negro minstrels. Its theme is
the evolution Of the negro and it begins
with him in his native jungle. It takes
him all the way from the Zulu war
dance to the cake walk. The first act
is laid in Africa among the negroes as
nature made them, the second on the
Suwanee River among the elavee, and
the third among the emancipated
colored citizens in New York.
The negro is a natural comedian. II
he is let alone he dances well, for his
instinct Of time is perfect. and he sings
well, for he has a quick ear for anything
in the shape Of an air and his voice is
generally pleasant to listen to. But il
you 60 to cultivating him ten to one you
spoil him. You make him rigid and
self conscious and he loses all the
catchy little tricks that he learned by
himself. There are few of the negroes
in this "Afro-American" farce who are
simple and natural, but the majority Of
them exaggerate the dialect and over
color other race characteristics.
