192 MB" JACKSON PROMOTES GIGANTIC EXPOSIT ION "MILE CHICAGO TO BE SCENE OF MARDI GRAS CHICAGO, Nov. 18. (By A. N. J.

A. "Billboard" Jackson, the affable and active theatrical critic, formerly connected with the Billboard and later with the Tribune up in Washington, has come to Chicago, determined to gather up the winds in his hands and hold them stilL Since arriving here a month ago he has initiited one of the biggest promotional scheme this city has ever witnessed. Joining hands with Illinois Masons (Jackson is a thirty third himself), there is to be held in the famous Eighth Regiment armory an eight day exposition and Mardi Gras. The proceeds are to go toward helping to complete the million dollar temple the Masons are building. The former Billboard man is enthusiastic about the project and likens the impending December exposition to the old time fairs in one's home town.

This is how he explains: The fair in the 'Old Home Town' was to its community just what the exposition, trade shows, style shows, of our city are to our public. "Sugar coated education is the basic purpose of all these institutions. Knowledge of new creations, inventions and methods of doing things are th real purposes behind them. The joy of social contact with one's fellow men and women, the thrill of exciting performances and the pleasure of witnessing artists in unusual performances constitute the sugar coating. Music, as a rule, is the seductive packing into which the whole is assembled.

Gee! What a week was Fair Week. The Prince Hall Temple Association, within whose membership may be found a majority of the substantial citizens of Chicago, will present from December 1 to 18. inclusive, the first bona fide Mardi Gras and Mid Winter Exposition ever presented to our people on the elaborate scale for which these events are famous. And this is froing to bo no miniature affair, he concluded. A combination of national distributors of standard merchandise, local merchants and our own commercial enterprises will provide the educational features and emphasize our progress while a professionally conducted show "and continuous dancing will assure amusement.

A higher standard of excellence in booking a meritorious line of attrac i tions over its enterprising circuit seems to be the one outstanding aim of the Theater Owners Booking Association. Present indications point in such a direction, following the hire and cry which is btin raised by enthusiastic theatergoers everywhere. At the present time there are no better or higher grade of attractions being routed over any amusement circuit t'lan those under the direction of this group. There was a time when the cry wont up that the managers over the large circuit were not adhering to the policy of providing theater pat rons of each house with a line of box office attractions, something that struck their fancy.

18. Seymour James, husband of Jeanette Taylor James, with whom he headed for years the famous straight turn billed "Seymour Jeanette," died at the family apartment at 4124 South Parkway, on Tuesday night, November 9. Seymour was a victim of heart disease, superinduced by years of dancing, at which line of work he was recognized as one of the best in the world. He had suffered for several years, but the affliction did not reach the acute stage until six weeks when the act, which carried a six piece orchestra, was forced to cancel a long tour of the Pan tages Time, while playing an engagement at Kansas City, Mo. He was 27 years of age.

had worked with Jeanette eight years and had been married to her for four, the cere mony taking place on July 18, 1922. Aside from the widow, who will continue with the act, he is survived by both parents, his father being superintendent of the Statesville formal School at Atlanta, and his mother residing at the place of Seymour's birth, Wrightsville, Ga. The remains were accompanied to the latter place by the widow, and the funeral occurred the past Sunday. Charles Jackson, Chicago's leading mortician, prepared and shipped the body. Many floral offerings attest ed to the popularity of the deceased.

Long Career Despite the fact that Seymour James was but 27 years of age at the time of his death, his career in the show business was a lengthy one. He started as a juvenile dancer at the age of 12 and following in quick succession came tours with the orig inal Florida Blossoms company, Richard Pringles Minstrels, the Georgia Minstrels and later he was featured with the Auto Girls com fiany on the Mutual WheeL It was ollowing the latter engagement that he joined with Jeanette. They had considerable success in straight vau deville but gained their first real recognition as one of the featured turns with O'Neil Greenwald's celebrated "Plantation Days." With this they toured to the coast and return and it is a peculiar twist of circumstances that the very last bit of work done by Seymour occurred in the same theater and on the same circuit over which he made his first trans continental trip, two years previously. Seymour James," affectionately called "Seemie" by those closely acquainted with him, was a real artist. He was a clean cut youngster who at all times showed good breeding and he spent his spare time in ad ding to his "bag" of professional I tricks.

As a consequence he stood i head and shoulders above the ordi nary dancers and was recognized as ...1 in Vi eltAun vnlr fa 1 was of the straight type and ranked right along with such stars as the great Bill Robinson, Clarence Dot son, Eddie Rector, the late Maxie McCree and others of that class, and with the clever Jeanette formed a "mixed" team which was novel i I Former Colored Film Producer Manager Of Title Co.
