buSLeT brOWn 1urnlSneo no end OF
fun last night at the first showing at
the Hipp. 1t Is really four part show,
Buster, Schultz the grocer, the police
man and the minister having all the
work. Everyone knows there isn't any
plot, it's all an unconnected series OF
happenings in which Buster Brown is
the attraction because of his inordi-
nate desire to raise Cain all the time.
This part which is the life Of the show
is taken by Fern DeLacey, and she is
q scream. 1t was her fayorite char
ARcter when she formerly was on the
s&tage. and she seemingly has grown
'better all the while. Billy Malone was
just right as the policeman, who found
It easy to takera nibble of about every
thing in the store and cap the climax
by eating the evidence. instead Of
drinking It. a little habit that is in.
dulged in OF the stage as well as on.
M Lamar, the new member of the
company, had the extreme pleasure OF
playing storekeeper last night, and he
ds excellent. Russell Heinrich as the
minister had unique character that
was responsible for coolies of fun.
Whether the hymn books which leaked
out OF the express package ran up hill
or not, there Is no denying that the
minister slipped down the stage steps
IN front, much to the delight Of the au-
dience. and the discontinue of the
parson who no doubt is applying
Sloan's liniment today to the spot
where It will do the most good. Ruth
Dale and Marie Kruger had the song
numbers, the latter closing the number

went over we'll. The real feature of
the evening was the aeroplane flight of
little June Henrici which took place
Immediately after the first show. The
seffictent stage corps at the Hipp had
eBnstructed a plane which was lowered
from the wings, and the little aviatrix
placed in it. The house was darkened
and only little flash light illuminate
ed her pretty countenance as she sang
sMother o. Mine" while her aeroplane
swung about over the footlights. Real
~ 1t required lot OF nerve, but that
seems to be the little stars middle
name, and she got as much pleasure
out of the performance as did host
OF friends that were there expressly to
see her. AS the curtain came down,
the applause was deaferIng, and It went
up for the encore. Dick Grady de-
clares he got so interested watching
her he forgot to play. but that didn:
make any difference. little June sang,
unaccompanied in perfect pitch, and
again got good hand. She is going
to make the flight again tonight, and
Saturday night, and for the benefit OF
the little folks who will be at the matt
NEE Saturday, she will give an exhibl.

almost unbelievable brutality and
injustice has come to us from
Georgia, in the form OF a sworn
statement by a colored clergy

a Georgia mob OF a colored nan

that he defended two colored
girls from attack.
You will notice the writer re-
fers to the silence OF Geofgia's

making such outrages impossible
Is to make them matters of com

clergyman's name Is withheld for
obvious reasons. His statement
