OLD M|NsTRELsYIs
PASSING DECLARE
.M'|NTYRE- HEATH

ATLANTA, Feb. %. (P)-Old-time
minstrel shows are doomed, but girl
lie revues and movies will never
drive the black face comedian from
vaudeville.
Mcintyre and Heath, among the
last of the veteran headliners, are
convinced of this. For more than
half a century they have been ca
vorting beneath the smudge of cork,
only in recent years to witness the
gradual decline of minstrelsy.
There was time wien hundreds
of minstrel companies roamed the
land. Their coming to town was thu
big event of the season. Now the
number has dwindled to a few and
only the cities and important towns
are played
1T is impossible for us to COM
pete with pretty girl revues and
movies, said Mcintyre, who made
his first stage appearance here back
in 1870. But don't you believe the
black face comedian will ever leave
vaudeville.

EARL ROssMAN's BOOK
AMONG CURRENT FICTION

Earl Rossman, who accompanied the
Wilkins Arctic exploration party last
spring as photographer, has signed up
with the Adventure Magazine for an
expedition into ASIA
One of the results of Rossman's
visit to Point Barrow is the publica-
ton of book detailing his narrowing
experiences away from steam heat,
spats and bayrum toddies.
Ben Eielson says somebody was so
unkind as to place the volume among
current fiction on the news stands,
which is an apt classification for the
work.
Among the prominent high-lights
of the tale is recounting of the fact
that the author was the "only white
man" for miles around, while he re-
manned marooned in the Arctic, due to
the wreck of a power-schooner. Du-
ring his imolation his wants were
cared for by a schoolma'am, who
went out upon the ice, speared seals,
etc., and provided the food-while he
languished.
Neither Captain Wilkins nor Ben
Eielson could discover the name Of
this feminine heroine in the book, so
they believe Rossman must have for
gotten it.
