We have severe! coon dlulect. all disiinct-Idifferent, as everyone knows who is familial with Southern negroes, so you see H i not difficult tn figure out why we last longer than the average blackface actor, who may have no more Intimate knowledge of Bottthern negroes and their war than he has learned from the comic paper. Our old act, 'The Georgia Minstrels. has undoubtedly survived hundred of other negro turns because of our fidelity to the real negro type. This hit has been interpolated Inlu The H.iut Tree.' How well it goes, 1 leave it to the puli-ll- r to judge." The Judgment of the public Is shown by the great bit this attraction made at the New York Theatre and also in Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburg and Chicago, and undoubtedly sulwtan-tlaie- s Mr. McIntyre's explanation of their Kiiccet on the stage for over thirty years.

Some people think Mr. Heath and myself earn onr money easily, but once we had to work overtime for it, with a few extra hours thrown In. In the old days we did not figure the length of our working time on the stage hy minutes, as Is the custom today. Ws were with a minstrel how and the thing, we had to do would make an actor of this' genera tlon gasp. We appeared as end men In the first part and contributed a few dances. Then Mr. Heath would do a Dutch turn, after which we presented a negro act. something like one we are doing now. Next we appeared In white face aa a team, and finished up hy taking parts in a Jittle drama. Whenever we got a chance, we appeared at private entertalncenta for which we received the magnificent sum of $2. Our Joint weekly salary at that time was $20. We made our .first Important hit in Chicago, where we introduced buck and wing dancing. Nothing was known theij of genuine negro dsnclng. We were long time In the South and we made a study of the real dance steps of the Southern negro. After we introduced them for the first time In Chicago, they struck the public fancy and we Jumped into favor and our salary went up from $20 to $10(t a week.
