in her monologue at Keiths is simply de-
iicious. She is one OF the few who can
sing coon" songs and make a decided
hit without resorting TO anything but a
legitimate dialect and wonderfully life
like reproduction OF the darkey walk. As
a stQry-teller, there are probably few
women on the stage who can approach
her; and the best OF IL is that her stories
are not only keenly pointed but clean
and fresh. She easily holds her own
