old Jokes, and expected people to keep

negro flavor was crowded out. Spec
tacular display was called in to help
the waning popularity of the songs and
dances. The genuine negro dresses
gave way to satins and velvets. Men
ratified bones and beat the tambourine
dressed as Hamlet, Macbeth and other
Shakespearean characters. Every inno-
walton of this kind seemed to hasten
the end. Declining interest was not TO
be revived by any such devices. Null
tipi:1ation of performers did no more to
win back popularity TO the negro min
strels. They seemed doomed. So 1t
happens that one of the questions of
the show business" to-day is: What
killed negro minstrelsy?" Whatever
the answer may be, It's inference is in
variably that nothing will revive that
old-time diversion. 1t has had its day
