s.Bnly'' Clark Is Again With the Field
Minstrel0.

Years ago Billy Clark was one Of Al.
G. Fields best liked funny men. For
the past several years his name has
been off the bills-his dron ways
missed from the Field Minstrels. We
note this season Billy Clark has re-
sumed his old place. and is one Of the
visibility risers with the old reliables.
Billy Clark, Doc Quigley, Tommy Dom
ely and Johnny Blackford were a host
of comedians in the younger days Of
the Field company. who made the well
kin ring. Bert Swor, Billy Clark, john
ny Dove. Billy Billings. West Alvey.
Harry Young. Boni Mack and others
form a comedy contingent that has the
punch which puts them away UP among
the fun makers of the minstrel stage.
1t is a big company, and there is much
to choose from. but give us the old
time MINISTRIES that can initiate the
antics Of the genuine coon. Therefore.
we are delighted to learn that Billy
Clark, one Of the real minstrels OF the
day, is back with Field.
