S. D.: There are several fellows
l like and / desire to be married.
Tell me if any of these fellows
mean business as / need help in the
home?
Answer: None of them will con-
sent to get married although all
of them pretend to you they would
take you in a minute. Before you
get married you should try to find
a husband interested in your same
work and one that could help you
along this line. These fellows you
go with couldn't be of much benefit
along that line.
G. W.: The girl ! have been in
love with for several months
doesn't seem to love me. Is that
he way or not? Tell me when the
l941 Astrology Readings will be
out.
Answer: Young man, it seems to
me that you have acted such
fool" over this girl that she
doesn't take you seriously she
knows you love her and doesn't
waste her time worrying over you.
Why don't you get another girl on
the side D.. make her jealous. Yes,
my new 1871 AstrOlOgy Readings
are ready. Send for yours today.
They cost a quarter and l will be
glad to give you my free opinion on
three questions. Send your birth
date.
L. H. D.: My husband left me
seven years ago and is now teach
ing in college. / am in love with
another man and want to marry
him. Must l get a divorce from my
husband or let my boy friend buy
it?
Answer: After giving your case
careful consideration l feel that you
should see a lawyer and get your
own divorce. You have a little
daughter that your husband should
be taking care of. Talk with some
good attorney in your city and ex-
plain the case in detail, and you
will get it worked out satisfactorily
whereby you can get married again.
B. H.: The boy 1 go with is nice

kept the crowd in gales of laugh
ter. We doubt whether male min
strels could have handled the end
men posts with greater eclat. Tall
ambling Anita Mason, dancing
Thelma Wade, droll Mae Marshall
and funny disconnected Marie
Hughes gave outstanding per-
formances.
Blanche Mason sang I'm Never
Smile Again" and appeared in a
scene from Cole & Johnson's RED
Moon" the musical show which was
the toast of many old-timers.
Mabel Craft pleased with that old
standby THE Weary Blues" Helen
Smith got the evenings first en-
core with rendition of "Now I Lay
Me Down to Dream" The "Shine"
chorus by the entire cast and an
imitation of Ted Lewis by Frances
Brown literally brought down the
house. Maxine Jones, a veteran of
local productions, sang in pleasant
encore exacting style you Tell Me
Your Dream"
Finally at the beginning of the
second act Miss Dial, a KSTP ar
fist, who had been in the orchestra
pit at the piano, made her appear
ance on the stage, played and sang
number panicking the audience
who asked for and received two
encores. Other numbers were a
fortune teller skit with Iva Masse-
gill, an Egyptian Dance by Timma
Leah Marshall, another musical
skit featuring Halle Batrum, sing
er, and Elizabeth Hughes, Gwen
dolyn Hughes, Doris Escue, Eva
Ign Escue and Harriet Thompson
billed as the Five Little Pepper
Pods who did some furious Utter
bugging to the delight of most of
the audience. Helen Curry and
Beulah Mitchell with their burnt
cork removed from their faces ex-
hibited the old-time dances.
The overture and intermission
music and tunes for the dancing
which followed was furnished by
the remarkable creation of Jean
cite Dorsey, the Phyllis Wheatley
Down-Beats who swung to the en-.
tire satisfaction of the young
dancing jitterbugs and their sit
ting, foot-patting oldsters.
Now that we have patteo every,
body on the back we doubt wheth
er we'll be bothered by the com
plants mentioned in our first para
graph. Fortunately, what we have
written is the truth and nothing
but the truth and we could easily
sit through another performance o.
the minstrel it was just tina
good!

their moneys worth.
In recent years we have lodged
writing up" the many amateur
shows assigning some other mem
Der of the staff who was perhaps
less critical. From long experience
we learned the brethren usually re-
sent very deeply anything but
heaps of praise! Even among pro-
fessionals, it is a known fact, rec
ognized in all Negro newspaper Of
fees that no Negro actor ever gives
a bad, inept or poor performance.
That is the reason all theatre pages
of the large papers like the De-
fender, Afro, Courier, Call or Guide
are filled with fulsome praise of
Negro actors and musicians. If one
read only the Negro papers the in
escapable conclusion of the reader
would be that no Negro actor, or
chestra or performer ever gave a
bad performance. The adjectives
are lavished without stint. When a
Negro actor is PANIED by a Negro
paper it's the NEWS of the WEEK
and for weeks the paper and its
editor are threatened with boycott,
physical harm and many other dire
consequences.
Of course, the boycotts would
hardly work because Negro actors
usually read their Negro news
papers FREE as do some of our
constituents.
However, we started out to re-
view for our readers the highly en-
joyable St. Thomas Guild Ladies'
Minstrel which, postponed Nov. II,
was presented Friday night of last
week to the great pleasure and en-
joyment of a large crowd including
your correspondent at Knicker-
booker Hall in Minneapolis.
1t was a neat show, amateur, it's
true, but with a deft professional
touch which made it laughable,
tuneful and almost amazing in the
talent it exhibited. All except
Auzie Dial were home talent. This
Dial lady's song delineations alone
were worth the price Of admission.
AS musical director she paced the
show through two hours of fine en-
tertainment.
From the minute Frances Smith
Brown as interlocutor began intro
ducing end "men" Helen Curry,
Mae Marshall, Marie Hughes, Beu-
lab Mitchell, Anita Mason and
Thelma Wade, until the finale with
entire cast singing "Old Man
Nose" the minstrel was a rib-tick-
ling success.
The end men answered to such
we'll known Mill City names as
tom Carroll" "Joe Levy" "HO-
bart Mitchell" "Dr. Brown" Tai
mage Carey" and Boyd Craw-
ford"
Most of the jokes were aged but
the end men put them over in such
fine style that they kept the crowd
roaring. Their songs hit the mark.

choking smoke. Otherwise, Chief

of an explosion through smoke and
gases. Firemen wore gas masks.

and part Of the pulpit splashing
down into the water-filled base
