A writer on one of the New York mu.
steal journals, in expressing his opinion
of some co1ored dancers who were rem.
dering "rag-time cake walk" once
wrote that all colored actors We're not
as good as they could be, because Their
acting was merely an imitation of the
white mans imitation of the coIored
man. This writer went on to say. that
the only genuine rug-time cake walking
festival he had ever seen was down in
Alabama once, when big cake walking
festival was held between some Mobile
and Savannah eolored folks. That cake
walk, he said, was real cake walk. The
folks who took part in it had never been
used to seeing minstrel shows and other
comic productions where the white man
BACKED up to impersonate a dusly'
skinned comedian, and, therefore, did not
put on that pedant affectation and com
zeal imitation of the white mans acting
as it is seen and heard in the north.
The exhibition last night at the Trad
es Grand opera house of "The Hottest
Coon Dixie,' brought the words o.
the writer on that musical paper back
to the writer of this article. The acting
in seThe Hottest Coon in Dixie" would
have been n great deal better had moi
the colored actors tried too closely t.
initiate the white mans imitation of Tho
eolored man.
A large audience was present Mt thu

THEATRICAL NOTES.


PLANTATION of every funny saying or wit
ticism that Is gotten off. Take, for in
stance, an actor in one of the eomical
cIimaxes where his quick and original
naneuvers bring roars of laughter from
the on-lookers. As soon as he becomes
aware that the audience is apphuding
that one little feature more than is or
dinarily expected, he at once begins to
repeat it and continues, over and over,
until every laughing voice has subsidized
and the majority of those assembled in
the housc gets sick and tired of hearing
and seeing it,
What makes good comedy is the con
tinued. quick, snappy and clear rendition
of these funny acts, passing rapidly from
one to the other 50 that the attention
of the house Is attracted in pleasure
BILE expectance and continuously, rather
than fatiguing them in unnecessary rep
clifton and explanation. As general
rule, the average American theater au-
dience Is amply intelligent to grasp any
little funny points, Puns, Jokes, witt
cisms or eomicaiities, without the actors
explaining, analysing, parsing or deciin-
ing them.
Outside of these two things, the re-
production of the Hottest Coon in
Dixie" was very good. It pleased the
audience fairly wen, but in the oPin-
ion OF the dramatic critic of this paper
1t could be Improved upon as suggested
in the criticism above
The singing was not as good as was
expected, although it was very credita-
Ible. The trick dogs. monkeys and other
animals were very good. The sleight-
f-hand and ledgerdemain act was good
and much enjoyed. Taken altogether
the show was as good an Entertainment
as those of other like productionslon the
road.

TENNIS The UNIVERSAL GAME.

Certainly of them all tennis is the
most universal; small boys, girls, wom-
en-. men OF three generations play IT.,
and the crack has not very much more
enjoyment out of it than the duffC~.
So long as a player feels within him
possibilities of growth he enjoys the
same: and even when these fail, even
when he realizes that he is slipping
backward he clings on, light-heartedly
contesting every inch of the decline
with some of his contemporaries. IF
I cannot keep pace with the advancing
battalion. l shall not head those who
are in retreat" cries our optimist; and
so-because tennis players are gene
ally optimists-you will see on any
warm summer day veterans urging
their old limbs upon the grassy courts,
crouching in their play with racket
held stifHy. trotting with little, timo-
rous steps, polling at the ball with the
gesture OF uncertain vision; and you
watch them awhile and think perhaps
in tne vrlde OF your youth There
can't be much fun in that" And then,
while you are looking on. they begin
to wrangle about some point; they are
suspicious as to whether or not that
hall actually did strike the line; and
such verbal vitality as those four old
men will then display. congregating
at the net, wagging their heads, and
finally examining the ball itself for
traces of whitewash! You do not
doubt it any longer that their tennis
is something of extreme moment 10
them; and you wonder if with your
own occasional slipshod in difference
to your rights on doubtful points you
90 not show an unworthy slight regard
for the noble game.-Arthur Stanwood
Pier in Atlantic.

NOW HE is A WISER DOG.

There was a dog, knew him well,
A live dog was he;
His tail was brown, his body black.
AS black as black could be.
He saw a cat, a p!nk-eyed cat,
A cat with sharp toenails,
And grayish back. and spotted legs,
And whitest OF white tails.
He gave a bark. nimble jump,
And. like a streak of blue.
Shot through the air, as at that cat
The wrathful doggie flew
The cat it spat, its back went up,
Shrill rang its piercing walls;
The fur it flew, the dog he howled,
And deep the sharp toenails
Ploughed through the hide and tore tbs
nose,
And scratched that CANNES eye,
Till with howl, the dog turned round
And back again did fly.
And now he is a wiser dog,
And cats he does eschew;
He'll never try again, think,
A pussycat to chew.
