1908" The crowd, including Mr..
Church, laughed most heartily; no one,
however, knew that they had been joked
by member OF the company, who
proved a hogshead of jokes personified.
Messrs. Will Golf, Kennedy and Billy
Bradley, were especially good and were
voclferOusly applauded. Mr. Ike Will
Ilams, the tenor, has excellent control of
his voice and he must be heard to be ap-
preciated. Misses Iva Harris, Grace
Jackson, Lizzie Roberts, Eva Leach, Ada
Jones and Miss Maize William are the
actresses with the company Each one
did her part well as did every member
of the company.
The specialties introduced in act two
in which Messrs Brooks, Williams, Miss
Leach and Happy Howe took part, were
very good. The cake walk in which the
entire company engaged surpassed any
thing ever witnessed here of its kind.
This is a good show and should be en-
cOuraged to continue its we'll begun
work. While the company had a good
audience, it is safe to say, had it adver-
tised to better advantage, the audi
torium would have been crowded to its
utmost capacity at each performance. A
great many readers of The Colored
American, in Memphis, did not know
the show was in the city, till it had left;
still others will not know it until they
read this article. Al who saw this three
CD act comedy company with its bright
costumes are hoping to see it again.

your correspondent asked Mr.. Chapelle
many questions about Mr.. Wetmore,
whose speech has endeared him to read
ers of The Colored American every
where After talking with a man who
had been a schoolmate of the most manly
leader the race has yet produced, your
correspondent was not surprised that
he had the manhood to stand up in the
face of his enemies and pour out the
feelings of a noble heart and mind, as
he aIu in the meeting of the City COun-
Gil of his home city.
This company is composed of forty
persons, each being artists in their diff
ferent ways. Happy Howe is a natural
born comedian and could not be other
wise, even at his own furenal. While
talking to some gentlemen in his park,
Mr.. Church's name was called by mem
Der in the crowd just as man was pas
sing who had every appearance of a
man just from some Way-dOwn planta-
ton in Mississippi. Hearing Mr..
Church name called, the farmer sud-
denly stopped, looked the men intently
IN the face, then at Mr.. Church, engaged
IN the following conversation. Farmer; :;
Lawdy me, is dat Mr. Church ?" Mr..
Church. showing signs of embarrassment
at such surprise being shown at his ap-
pearance, turned and walked away)
Farmer: ''Lawdy, how he has changed" I"
At this Mr.. Church turned and walked
close to the farmer, as if to let him get
Letter view of him, asking at the same
time. how long it had been since they
last met? Farmer: 20, man, long time
ago Mr.. Church: What year ?"

heartily for nearly four hours. Not the

rington. of Peoria; George V. Peck.
Of Rockford: Charles Il. Kindt and +.
Z. Powelson. comprising the theatri-
cal syndicate of Chamberlin. Harring-
ton x Co. has been filed at EaleSbure
by +. j. King. who represents Mr..
Berquist. the manager of the Auditor
ium. The suit is against the defend
ants as individuals. as we'll as Il com
pany. and promises To be of great in
terest, especially to theatrical people.
The defendants own majority of the
Auditorium stock. and conduct thea
tres in a number of cities. Service
has not Yet been had.
+. j. King. attorney for Mr.. Ber
quist, was seen TO learn the meaning,
and said: The suit is brought against
the defendants for damages resulting
from a conspiracy on their part to
boycott the Galesburg Auditorium.
The defendants control theatres at
Burlington, Peoria, Ottumwa. Fort
Madison, Keokuk, Canton. Moline,
Rock Island. Davenport. Rockford and
perhaps other places. We claim that
for the last two years. and especially
for the last year. they have made a
business Of instructing theatrical
managers that. if they played any of
their attractions at the Galesburg
Auditorium, they could not play these
attractions at any of the cities con-
trolled by the company.
Are in a Combination.
.sFThnCo oil nj,
tanned control Of theatres in various
ways. They control the bookings and
have charge of the management, but
do not in every case own the proper
ties. BY hctch-potch arrangement
or method, they have gone into'a COM
binatiCn or trust. and by such meth
ODDS. by threats and by intimidation
they have succeeded in depriving
theatrical people of the privilege of
coming here and have deprived Mr..
BerQuist of some of the best theatri-
cal plays on the road.
In December. 1902, they quietly
bought up the ma jority Of the stock
and are now seeking to get control of
the Auditorium and to destroy Ber-
quist's lease that he has until 1907. by
depriving him by means of this boy
colt of the opportunity of getting at
fractions at Galesburg by which to
pay rent. If they can compel him to
default On his rent, they can declare
forfeiture of his lease.
I'VE have ample proof of the boy
colt. We have a stack of letters six
inches high, containing cancellation of
contracts bytheatrical companies. and
saying that if they played in Gales
burg they would lose the theatres in
cities controlled by the syndicate"
