Minstrelsy up TO date Is vastly diff
ferent from what the old boys recall
as the stunts offered by Dan Bryant
in his little playhouse in New York
City, in the seventies, when the black
man was shown in the habit as he
lived way down south and when Dave
Wambold, he of the compelling tenor
voice, sent across the footlights
chords that ring in memory over years
and years: and when Charley Backus.
one of the real blackface comedians.
reused a riot of laughs by his funny
sayings and when McAndrews. the
watermelon man." said some things
to his mule that wouldn't look well in
holy writ. Early in the eighties came
Jack Haverly, who. with his 'masto-
don ninstrels" and the slogan 80
count 'ern-4O-,' introduced vaude-
Vile features into what he was pleas
ed to call negro minstrelsy.

Another automobile accident

life. He with Mrs. Arnett and
two children were returning from

iting a son and to bring home a
grandchild, and along a narrow
strip of road, with deep gullies
on each side, they met a buggy
and in trying to pass the auto
went into the ditch, pinning Mr.,
Arnett beneath. His skull was
crushed and death resulted al.
most instantly. It is said Mr..
Arnett was running his machine
slowly, owing to the narrow road
way, and presumably he got too
near the edge, causing the ma
chine to topple over. He was a.
bout 50 years old and leaves his
wife, and many relatives. The
