SW0R THREW STONE.
AT HOUSE MANAGER.
Now He Laughs About Time
He Wanted to Sell Al
Fields Show

One of the things Bert Swor likes
to talk about, now ana then, when
he meets other minstrel men and old
cronies, is how he first met AL G.
Field. It's just as good fun hearing
Bert tell a story off stage as in the
course of his appearances in the AL
G. Field Minstrels and he can always
get an audience at the slightest in
timation that he has something to
tell.
While still in his teens" Bert and
partner were employed as black
face comedians in medicine show
at Dallas, Tex. The Field show came
to Dallas and the two boys decided
they must see the show.
Presenting themselves at the door
OF the theatre they told who and
what they were and requested the
professional courtesy of being per-
mitted to see the performance. Mr..
Field himself was at the door. He
questioned the boys kindly. but Bert
took note that the house manage
at the ticket window was trying to
attract MIR. Fields attention, shaking
his head and frowning when he at
last succeeded. Thereupon the min
strel man told the lads that they
must see the house manager before
he could admit them.
Being refused by that worthy, the
boys left the theatre in some dud-
geon. and when they reached the
sidewalk, Swors partner hurled a
stone at the offending manager.
breaking the box office window.
Some years later. when Mr.. Swor
became member OF Mr.. Fields COM
pany. he reminded the latter of the
incident, and they often enjoyed a
good laugh at the incident
The AL G. Field Minstrels will close
their engagement at the jefferson
