is FEATURE AT FORSYTH

For the Forsyth for next week the
management has arranged a bill of pop

prove to be the best edition of this re-
markable form of entertainment that

The feature of the bill will be the
famous minstrel star, George Wilson, of
waltz Ne Again fame. Wilson has
been the recognized star of all black
face artists for a number of years. He
has been at the head of mis- own organi-

Dockstader, Primrose and all of the
other present-day leaders in minstrelsy.

self and the theatergoers. He has been
