There's just one reason why "Hu-
moresque" takes its place among the
big pictures of the day. It is a great
picture because it is human picture.
1t brushes away superhuities and goes
straight to the heart. You're sur
prised at the smile on your face-but
smile you do. The wetness on your
face IS tear. You didn't know you
were crying. That's "Humoresque."
Once in awhile stranger comes
along and sweeps you almost off your
seat. Vera Gordon is one of these.

est old dog in the world despite his
ferocious bark, is great. An unbe-

his will, becomes the loudest shout

The announcement of the forth
coming appearance here of Miss

it the assurance that amusement

hear the greatest jazz concert that
ever has been sent on tour
The appearance here of the star
will make one of the few stops be-
ing made on a trans-continen tour
which has been booked for her. Dur
ing her short career as a phonograp
star of the first rank flor Mamie's
fame came to her overnight.) Miss
Smith has done more than any other
singer perhaps in America to popular
ize the genuine "Blues" songs of the
day. In her hands a song like
Cray Blues" and "Lovin Sam From
Alabam" becomes potent living,
things, charged with pushing and
individual rythm which has never
Before been equaled by any singer
ofthis type in this country.
With the spontaneous success of
her first photograph records came

in view a company of well known
Colored entertainers and musicians
were assembled, and, with the orig
inal Mamie Smith Jazz Hounds Band,

Night after night this new CnlOred
star has been greeted by capacity
houses and in many instances it has
been necessary to call out police re
serves, so great has been the demand
of the public to gain admittarce to
her concerts.
Much interest has been manifest
ed in the coming engagement here,

artist and her company. and indi-
cations point to sold out house be-
