There are few people in Richmond wfo
know that their city is becC:nir:: famous
abroad as manufacturing centre for
preparations which. it is claimed. are
destined TO tighten the complexion OF the
Negro, and straighten his hair.
The manufacturers OF these preparations
are doing a fourishing business. There
are in Richmond at this time five firms
which are daily shipping to nearly all
parts Of the world preparations which
are guaranteed TO stTaishten the hair and
tighten the skin of the colored man.

There are many believers-in the virtues

rarily shelved. and the society drama is
taking a rlucii-needed Lenten rest.
PRIMROSE AND DOCKSTADER
Primrose and Dockstader are said to
have the finest company on the road this
season. An individual goes TO minstrel

Pickaninny movements are as graceful
as they are artistic. Mr.. Dockstader's
representations are side-splitting. He
never offends but his intelligent mind
and happy intentions guide him into
in sympathy with all he says and does.
Besides this, he delights with topical
songs and monologues that keep the
house bubbling over with good humor.
There is a special novelty in Bogart and
O'Brien's musical turn-a new act-''Thes
Choir Boys Dream. It is original,
beautiful and Impressive. The thrilling

the comedy is one of the phenomenal hits

pronounced the acme of the jolliest kind
of joNiality seen in the western InctroD-s
oils in years And the critics have been
uncommonir generous in their praise of
this merry musical melange, in which it
is said there is never a dull moment OF

is backed by gorgeous settings and fan
tastic stage pictures, emphasized by

most famous old men of the staSe-Den-

and Joseph Jefferson-have appeared or
Will appear at the Academy this season.
1t is. perhaps, necessary to speak of them
as old men, for Thompson and Barnabee
are both siXty-eisht and Jefferson is sew
enty-two years old.
They say that a man is al young as he
feels, and it might be added, as he acts.
Surely Father Time has made a mistake
in his reckoning. These are only boys.
H. C. Barnabee has been acting since
1865. In 1887, with Tom Karl and w. II.
Macdonald, he organized the famous
Bostonians. And yet after these many
years of arduous toll and struggle he
said to me the other day: Il feel as
young as ever and act and sing as well
as / ever did. And he meant it. not in
an egotistical spirit, but as an expression
4 of the wonderful vitality that keeps him
SO young. 1t seemed almost incredible
that the Oldest member of the company
has not missed a performance, while near
sly every other one has been incapacitat-
cd for work by illness. J
