Polk Miller.
With banjo, song and story, Polk
Miller, assisted by his cOmrade -m-armS
and lifelong friend, Colonel Tom Book
er, of Amelia county, Va, two Confed
crate veterans, famous as entertainers,
will give FroStburg people glimpse of
the old South III concert arranged for
Monday evening, February I. in the
Frostburg Opera House, under the aus
pices of the Radcliffe Entertainment
Bureau.
1t is a melancholy thought, revived by
each annual reunion of the Boys in
Gray" that few more years will see
the last of the already thin line of those
who knew and lived i'll Dixie before the
big war. After that nobody Will be left
to tell of the things that were, except
the books. To the younger generation,
therefore, an entertainment by such a
man as Polk Miller-a typical gentle
man of the "old school," means some
thing more than merely an evenings
amusement Between the jokes and
funny stories will creep a more serious
thought. 1t may mean to many the last
they will have of seeing the atte-bciIum
South through the eyes of those who
have not simply read and heard of it,
but who have lived its life and shared
its sorrows and joys.
Mr.. Miller has absolutely no rival in
the delineation of the character of the
ancient darkey, and his songs and stories
have delighted thousands of people,
even in the largest cities of the North.
Ably assisted by Col. Booker, he pre-
sents program distinctly original,
unique and enjoyable. The 1.-TWO old
Confederates, " as they style themselves,
may not make another tour" and
there is every indication on the part of
the people of Frostburg not to fail to
take advantage of au opportunity that,
a few years from now, may be forever
beyond their reach.
