that kInd of entertainment until it
has won a place among their people,
which place must be always among
our people. AS q start II encourages
faith. self.reliance and hope for our
boys to tell in jokes and in song of
our misfortunes, oppression and faults
which silently but effectively appeal
10 our better natures because of in
spiration received from many good
words dropped and hints suggested
from our trials and errors. A coined.
ian can say in joke something he dare
not breathe in seriousness, yet the
effect will be produced.
In speaking of the second act too
much credit cannot be given to the
originator OF the scene and stage fur
ni,ure. for It was typical place
which may be called a club-hotel in
any large city. The plano was the
most expensive article and the clerks
bar and desk was the most used.
while no carpe, graccd the floors TO

as this scene was many an honest
person. as the Black Politician the

money and which role was so success
fully played by Leon Pryor, has been
neeeed out Of his money in the same
way in such places. Icons suit sent

was "Lottie Gotall and Then Some.

neatly dressed. so natural he looked,
