CREOLE FOLK LORE.
Miss Finch Distinctive Success Be
fore Twentieth Century Club.

Whoever proposed Miss Lucine Finch
as a Twentieth Century Club attraction
certainly made a discovery. for her
program of Creole, negro stories af-
forded one Of the best evenings. if not
the best. that the club has ever enjoyed.
1t was at once instructive. artistic and
intensely interesting. Miss Finch. as a
child had lived in the Creole south. An
old negro nanny had cared for her
and for her mother. In later years
Miss Finch had made a study Of the
negro folk lore and now mas several
programs prepared in which she tells
the stories told 10 her by che negroes
and sings their songs with rlnch ORA
matte interpretation of the pure negro
character. Her telling Of the story OF
Moses, and of the 'Creaiion, IN the
representation Of her Old negro mann
my, was an artistic bit Of comedy yet
replete with a wonderful portraya! OF
negro Imagination, philosophy and re-
ligion. Miss Finch lacks the character
istic southern drawl and accent in her
conversation but in her raci-ations the
born of familiarity.
She goes TO Fort Dodge today where
she appears in a childrens program in
which she tells some Of joel Chandler
Harris Uncle Remus tales.
The club met al the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs George A. Truner. Decorations OF
the home consisted OF red roses and poi
