THE HOME TALENT SHOWS.

Why is it that most of the home
concerts and minstrels are failure?
First, because they lack the old stuff
of stopping and listening to ones who
know more than they do. The anna
teur or home talent don't like to stop
and study and without practice they
are consequently failure. | remem-
ber some four or five years ago, when
Prof. Mills was taking out big
vaudeville company, composed of Will
lie Burns, Arlena Burns, Josephine
Allen and myself, and to make good
we had to rehearse every day in the
week for seven long months. And
then we just did know our lines. 1t
takes practice to make perfect in any
thing, and until the amateur stops and
realizes the fact, he or she will never
make success as performer.

ABOUT BUSINESS.

Day dreams are not business plans.
Every dollar invested many business

ployed and at least six per cent. on
the investment. outside OF the ex-
penses incidental to the business.
Out OF a dozen ventures even among
white people with all their experience
and advantages. ten will fail to come
up TO this standard Of success. 1t is
no wonder that we too fail. But we
owe 1t to ourselves to surround our
endeavor with as many careful plans
as possible, and then give to them
the last measure of energy. We can
not hold meetings. explain the desira-
bility of a venture. and then go home,

CHICAGO NEGRO THEATRES IN

Information from Chicago is as fol-
lows: At meeting which was held
at the booking Office of Chas. o. Hard

days ago, in which he and Duke Bren-
non (white), manager of the Grand
Theatre picture house, and also man.
ager of the New Grand (colored)
theatre, which will. open in a few
weeks, had made an effort to control
the bookings of all colored theatres of
the Middle West in favor of the two
Grand theatres. AS against the lit
tie Monogram theatre just block up

thriving business. After the meet
ing had taken place and the alliance
was said to have been effected, Hard
ing and Brennon disagreed and Bren-
non withdrew from the firm, Grip
ping its possibility. The Grand Is
now booked by Mr. Cox and the Mon

YOUNG NEGRO BOXERS HANDI.
CAPPED.

Is it an up hill pull or a down hill
drag? Who knows? But one thing
we do know is that in some profes-
sions it is getting awfully hard for
the negro to climb, and if he does it
must be among his own people

wCult; be for some of our young negro
boys right here in Denver if they only
had chance. There are several
white boxers in the city and state
who are making quite livelihood at
the game, but when it comes time for
them to sign articles with negro boy
they are just gone, and colored box
er has to be big favorite with the

Jack has got more sense than people

NOTES FROM THE R. M. A. CLUB.

AS the time rolls on, so does the
people, and the times and styles are
changing daily. So is the R. NJ: A.
club. A business and pleasure place
that has grown wonderfully in the
last few months. The management
contemplates organizing one of the
best baseball teams in the West and
also crack lawn tennis team, some
thing that will keep up the good spir-
its of the people. Denver needs more
amusements and the R. NJ. A. club is
going to try and give them to you.
