The point developed to which
we wish to call special attention
is that the selection of sppoin:ee'

Giddens, a white man, had no say

understanding that Walter Conan,
a saddle colored negro holds q like

Monte Marte," a tabloid version Of
the famous musical comedy OF the
same name. occupies the leading
position on a bill brimming over
with good things. Il tells of the
tangled love affairs that occur. and
is fun of sunshine and melody.
1t enlists the services of two ex-
cellent comedians, a handsome tenor
and a bevy OF pretty girls. Marva

serious work, appears in her newest
comedy success, Don't Get Per

nal. for it tells how happer leaves
the comparative safety Of Broadway
for the perils OF rural life. It has
la decidedly ironic twist, and is full
of quaint humor.

the leading man, which is as it
should be.

and adventure of a primitive girl
who has chosen to wear mans att
tire and fight her own battle for ex-
istence far removed from the centers
Of civilization.
Teddie Gerard is a pretty actress,

Running through the list Of min

be named that we're kept up TO their
original high standard after their
founders had passed on?
This question carries more por-
tent than the average person may
suppose Ilustrious names and great
regulations carry weight, and It is
unfortunately true that many a
show presented under the trade
mark of a great name has failed to
live up to its erswhile glory.
For thirty-four years, the name OF
Al. G.. Field has been one TO con-
lure with. II stands for the highest
standard in minstrel production.
Each succeeding year has noted in
creasing merit and popularity.
When AL G.. Field passed TO the
Great Beyond, his friends and ad-
mirers feared that his passing might
mean the decline OF the organization
which he had founded and brought
to so brilliant a height. Some OF the
wise ones" shook their heads. "The
minstrels will be on the toboggan,
they croaked. Not so, however
The friends and critics Of the or

that not only is the current produc-

but that It actually surpasses all for
