THE STATESMAN-
SPORTS AND
THE STAGE
By Leon Pryor
THE LORRAINE THEATRE, FIVE
POINTS.
Say folks, how about the support
that you said you would give to any
one of our race if you thought that
they needed your help in any kind of
business? Say,- how about the little
theatre out on the avenue near Five
Points that is being run and conduct
ed by one of our people, and a woman
at that? Are you giving your support
to the Lorraine theatre, a colored
amusement place, the same as a
white man gives to his brother or sis
ter? No. I am thinking that the
people of Denver as a whole are the
most selfish in helping one another
than any other place I have heard of.
And, dear people, if you will only stop
and think, you will soon come to real
ize that a business cannot live unless
it has the support of the people, mat
ters not what it is, and if our people
don’t patronize one another in -busi
ness, our business must soon go to
the wall, all for the lack of support.
And, people, it is true we haven’t got
a very big theatre for this city, but at
present I don't see how a larger
house could exist when it is almost
an impossibility for a small one to do
so. And now there is only one thing
that I would advise, and that is to
brace up and give a little more sup
port to the place that needs it the
most, and then in the future we might
be able to see into a larger theatre.
But we must crawl before walking.
And what the Lorraine theatre needs
is help, help, help!
IO! BACCHE! IO! BACCHE:
The campfires of the war, the foy
ers of the hotels, the lounging rooms
of the great social clubs find a worthy
rival in the Railroad Men and Wait
ers’ club of 2149 Curtis street, where
these snowy days the boys are accus
tomed to assemble and relate their
travels and drink the health of each
other in the delightful concoctions of
the mixologist. The club is the sec
ond home with a special niche re
served for Bacchus, the genius who
presides over festive hospitality.
THE NEGRO DRAMATICALLY.
Is the Negro up to the standing of
the white man? 1 mean dramatically
speaking. That is a question that
has been on hand for the past few
years, since the Negro has progressed
so fast in the theatrical world. Will
he in time invade the dramatical field
and be as successful as he has .wen
in comedy? Will he be able i® get
the expression, the feelings, the ges
tures the same as some of the white
dramatic stars? Drama is something
that has to be studied more than a
day. It is something that, has to w'ork
within the person himself, or in other
words it must be not only inspiring
jo the actor himself but to the people
before whom he is appearing. And
it will no doubt be some time before
the Negro actor can be perfected up
to the standing of the white man.

WILLIAMS AND JONES.
The team of Williams and Jones,
fresh from the South, have opened up
on the Joel circuit for a run of ten
weeks. The act is composed of com
edy, song and dance work.
CUBAN STARS TO TOUR THE
WORLD.
The fast Cuban stars baseball team
that defeated the world’s champion
ship team, the Philadelphia Nationals,
it is said will play ball all over the
world this season, even playing in
countries abroad.
DENVER ED MARTIN.
The old-time heavyweight boxer of
this city, Denver Ed Martin, is now
playing two roles, one boxing and the
other wrestling, and it is said be is
doing well in both. And anyone go
ing as far northwest as Seattle, Port
land or any part of that country will
have much to do in trying to heat
Denver Ed.
JEFF COMING BACK AGAIN.
I Oh, my, will wonders never cease,
!or Is it possible that the people are
1 to still live and fall to such dope as
j one James Jeffries, the late title
! holder of the heavyweight class, is
| trying to hand out after that fata!
day, the 4th of July, 1910, when Jack
Johnson, the clever Negro, now cham
pion of the world, stepped In and
stole the candy in what was called a
shame to take the money fight after
Jack had won. Why It’s awful the
way some people think that they can
make money on something that is as
uncertain as the weather in Denver.
In an article lately issued by Jef
fries a few days ago, he has said that
he will start all over again by first
taking on such men as Carl Morris,
Jim Smith and other white hopes,
and then he wil ltry after Palzer.
and then once more he will try to
win back the crown that he failed to
keep from the now noted king of the
ring, golden smile Jack A. Johnsin.
Will It ever come to pass in the near
future that we will see it billed
everywhere that Jack and Jim are to
meet again. Well, from my candid
opinion, Jeff has about as much
chance of coming back as the little
boy had who tried to kill a dozen
birds with one stone.' But maybe Jeff
figures on lucking out with Jack in
case they were to ever meet "again.
I’ve been told that good things come
only once in life. If that’s tht case#
Jeff in his last fight with Jack got a
good beating and I guess if they «r«r
8
meet again he will get a —well, you
know what kind of a mauling I think
Jack would give him. So let’s tell
Jeff to change his brand.
FRANK MONTGOMERY AND DIXIE
COMPANY.
Mr. Frank Montgomery, the man
from Indianapolis who started out
this season to do the South with his
company of Dixie Trotters, is making
good his word and meeting with much
success throughout the South. The
Dixie Trottera are supposed to be the
fastest singers and danvers in the
country and they are open to meet all
comers, white or black, with money
to back them.
TOPEKA WANTS A COLORED
THEATER.
Rumors a friend from the biggest
city in the world, Topeka. Kans. He
tells me that Mr. Nick Childs and a
few other prominent Negro business
men of that city are strongly figuring
on a colored play house. And my
friend also tells me that they have
got money to work with. So hoop
’er up. Kansas, you have certainly got
it on Denver.
THE AUTUMN LEAF DANCE A BIG
SUCCESS.
On last Monday night at Eureka
hall there gathered something like
300 people, all in attendance to the
now famous Autumn Leaf club dance,
and every one had the time of their
lives. There were quite a few mask
ed and some were out in their best.
The prizes were won by Miss Irene
Stewart, Mrs. J. Cliffton and Willie
Muskogee. The order was A No. 1
and Managers Felix Wells and Wil
liam Gist wish to thank the public
for such loyal attendance and good
manners, and hope in the near future
to give all of Denver the treat of this
year.

"Five years ago two doctors told
me I had only two years to live.” This
startling statement was made by Still
man Green, Malachite, Col. "They
told me I would die with consump
tion. It was up to me then to try
the best lung medicine and I began
to use Dr. King’s New Discovery. It
was well I did, for today I am work
ing and believe I owe my life to this
great throat and lung cure that has
cheated the grace of another victim.”
It’s folly to suffer with coughs, colds
or other throat and lung troubles
now. Take the cure that’s safest.
