messed some of the most arristocratic
entertainments ever given in the city.
None has ever been given on a higher
order than was that given at Church's
Auditorium in September under the
auspices of the Negro letter carriers.
The Negro carriers of Memphis have
organized themselves into a society
whose object is to care for their sick
members and give high-class enter
tainments- This year was the celebra-
ton of their third anniversary.
Messrs. w. II. Owens and James H.
Pratt are president and secretary, re-
spectively. Much credit is due the
officers and the different committees
for working so earnestly to please the
public.
On the same night of this entertain
ment, Billy Kersands was billed to
appear at the Main Street Auditorium.
Knowing what a drawing card Ker-
sands in Memphis, the committee felt
very much discouraged, since they
could not postpone their entertain
ment. Calling his subcommittee to-
gether, President Owens explained that
every man must work earnestly, or
failure was certain. Never did body
of men work harder than did these,
and their efforts were crowned with
success. In addition to a high-claSS
vaudeville show and an open-air con-
cert by the Young Mems Business
Board, Miss Pearl M. Crawford was
billed to sing. For a number of years
Miss Crawford was a teacher in the
public schools of Memphis. From ear
remarkably sweet voice and natural
love for music. Literary entertain
ments were never gwen that her serv-
ices were not sought for. Following
the advice of her many friends, about
eight years ago Miss Crawford re-
signed her position as teacher and
made a trip to Europe, where she i'm
proved natures gift Cher voice. hun

Surprise should not, therefore, be
expressed why it is known that, not
withstanding Billy Kersands was ad-
vi OiHCu W appear dI IHS Ad1A oIICCI
Auditorium the same night, when the
advertising committee let the public
know that Miss Crawford would sing
at Church's Auditorium she was greet
ed by a large and enthusiastic audi
ence of representative citizens, who
clapped continually for her long be-
fore the program commenced. Miss
Crawford must be heard to be appre-
ciated. With her sweet, warbling,
birdlike voice, Miss Crawford bends
audiences at her viii. Two hundred
dollars a week would be a moderate
salary for a singer of such rare abil-
ity. provided her face was white.
If the rich men throughout the coun-
try would emulate the example of Mr..
Robert R. Church, of Memphis, in
building play houses, our women and
men similarly blessed by nature as
IS Miss Crawford, would have oppor-
tunities to devote their talents suffi-
GENTLY to enable us to boast of compa-
nies. not even operas excepted, equal
