ALL THE WORLD LOVES
A GOOD MINSTREL SHOW

Every class of theatrical Offering
appears to have its followers. Some
crave Shakespeare and the classics
some the morbid problem play. Others
the farce, some tragedy, some comedy
but everyone, almost without eXcep
tion, loves the minstrel show There
appears to be some responsive chord
sort of telephatic sympathy, be.
tween the merry, merry minstrels
and humanity difficult to understand
and still more difficult to describe
But that such feeling exists is am
ply proven by the large houses that
always greet minstrel company Of
known reputation and worth Rich
ards & Pringles Famous Company,
the largest minstrel organization up
on the road, undoubtedly the best,
and by far the Oldest, have been max
ing people laugh for thirty years
over a quarter of a century
You of the younger generation ask
your grandfather the first minstrel
company he can remember, and he
viii probably tell you Richards G.
Pringle's.
This company's age and popularity
is remarkable yet easily explained
They have always endeavored to
give the best minstrel show on the
road. and have always treated the
public fairly and honestly The pub
lie i'm turn have learned to rely upon
them, and have faith in their prom
ises.
They will appear at the Auditorium
on Wednesday. February "a.

PLAYS OF THE SOUTH
GROW IN POPULARITY

Players of the South possess an
indefinable charm and especially the
two founded on the popular novels
of Thomas Dixon, Jr.. The Traitor"
and The Clansman. One reason is
that the South is the native home of
romance, and a charming love story
always possesses potent appeal to
the theatergoers. 1t would take col
umns to inquire into the many other
causes of the remarkable popularity
of plays OF this type but the fact re-
mains that such plays are what the
public demands The success of The
Traitor" is even more remarkable
than that of The Clansman" for sue
cess is often hard to duplicate This
new play by Claiming Pollock and
Thomas Dixon. Jr. is manifestly a
great drama or it could not have
achieved such results Those who en-
ioyed The Clansman" and their
name is legion win be delighted to
learn that the dramatic sequel of that
much-talked of play viii be the at
traction at the Auditorium, Wednes-
day. March3
