THE LONG EXPECTED

Haryey's Greater Minstrels headed
by Ed Tolliver and Clarence Powell,
both natural comedians, is due here
September 4 at the Orpheum. They
are both natural from the fact that
they act natural, just what they are,
the regular dyed in the wool negro
comedians, and they do their best to
create laughter and create furore
of amusement at every performance.
Travelling in their own eighty foot
car, this company of forty colored
artists are playing the principal
cities and towns Of the state and
judging from press comments and
verbal criticisms heard. Harvey's

COLORED MINIS
TRELS ARE THE BEST

The modern minstrely, evolved
from the colored race. The negro IL
he can be restrained from becoming
self conscious makes the best min
strel man. Any person is sure of a
good laugh If they can but be around
a group of negroes thirty minutes
without the latter knowing they are
near, because the colored man is then
perfectly natural. This show is COM
ing to the Orpheum theater Thurs
day, Sept. 4.
There have been many colored
minstrel shows which were unsatis-
factory in their entertainment be-
cause the colored performers were
self conscious and did not act
natural. Mr.. R. M. Harvey, we'll

clever colored people who were not
posers, who were capable of always
remaining natural-even on the
