sweet singers and ebony colored fun
makers of Dixie Land have been
recognized for many years as a high
class standard attraction aid one
that has scored phenomenal popu-
lar success with theatregoers in all
sections of the country Among the
forty in its rank are to be found the
most talented Afro-American sing
ers,. dancers and comedians in the
world. Sissieretta Jones, the Black
Patti, the vocal star of the organiza-
ton, in addition to being the most
gifted singer of her race, enjoys the
distinction of having sung before
the largest audiences that ever as
sembled in Madison Square Garden,
New York City. and the first colored
singer, honored by royal command
to sing before the former Prince of
Wales, now King Edward VII OF
England. In this country the Black
Patti and the Troubadours, through
their refined and enjoyable stage
performances. have added largely to
the musical culture of the people.
Their revival of the sweet melodies
of the south reminiscent of anti
bellum days-the plantation, the
cotton fields and the levee has been
