And it's awful.y nice you know, to have somebody sort of look after you like that, you know, and-well-'
 "The wrist watch?' I inquired. 'T was at a party up Chicago way, he drawled on, and there were lo+ of stage people at the party; especially interesting were Louis Mann and Sam Bernard, who were playing Friendly Enemies at that time.

 'Is there demand for minstrelsy? Is it as popular as all that% he re- peated my questions after me. "More so-lots more so; people are simply crazy about minstrels; the music and the dancing and the dialect stories will never grow old and they seem to be- come more popular every season"
 And I believe it, judging from the vast throngs who are enjoying Mir. Swor and his funny stories and his singing and dancing and-everytning.

 wien I tell it to you any more than I did when Bert Swor,

VI M Y CUUTsB yUu WUTI UeIItVe It W y wien I tell it to you any more
 than I did when Bert Swor, the famous minstrel man told it to me yesterday afternoon-that he had never appeared before the footlights in all his long and eventful career without experiencing the most terrific attack of stage fright"
 When you see this clever and amus- ing young man made up' to look like everything under the sun but kitchen stove-strolling leisurely out on the stage taking in the situation, and pulling" some of that funny stuff of his that just makes you laugh so hard that you have to hold your sides to keep them from splitting--youd never dream that he has moments like real, rightly, honest-to- goodness hu- man being; you'd never believe that anything under the sun could "phaze" him. But my friends, even as yon and I, he can be "phazed"-and guess what does dt? That big packed and damned audience sitting right out in front of him round at the Lyric until he finds out whether or not he and if are Friendly Enemies''-and he's just that n-e-r-v-o-u-s that he can hardly live.
 Bert Swor is one of the incest minA strel men I've ever met; in fact, he's one Of the incest any-kind- of-men I've ever met; clean cut, high minded, clev- er-this boy from up in Tennessee. who has made thousands laugh at his jokes and his minstrelsy. who has drfv- en away dull care from the brows of hundreds who have basked in the sun shlne of his wit and humor--is just a regular fellow" teven as you and D. generous big-hearted, bright, amusing and just as attractive as he can be.
