THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, lWj, THE NEW YORK AGE, "DARKYDOM." (FROM VARIETY.) "Darkydora" is an, all-colored show, with Miller and Lyles starred. It open- at the Fafayette on upper 7th avenue last and may be still there, as Friday night found a capacity house by 8 .05, the regular performance not starting until 8: JO. The interim was filled in with a film. All-colored shows have an attraction to those who like to see something dif ferent in the musical comedy line once in a while, when the show is good and "Darkydom" is good, made so, mostly by the stars witn their comeay. Miller and Lyles have played in vaude ville.

They are not the ordinary colored two-act, straight and comic. Both of these men are comedians, which makes their combination an unusual or extraordinary one, especially since both are good comedians. In fact( Miller and Lyles, as per their work in this production, take first rank among all actual colored teams on the stage, in current or past times, for it would not belittle Bert Williams as the great single co median he is, to say that Miller and Lyles are a funnier team than Williams and Walker were. There is another distinctive comedian in this troupe. Allie Gillam.

taking the role of a colored hobo. Were his stage partner, Will A. Cook, up to Gillam's mark, there would be another fine team, but anyway, a show with three corking comedions should be chough. The show is much the stronger on the comedy end. Nothing startling about the music.

A fairlv pood book has been written by Henry Troy, who is also very prominent and agreeable in the performance as the singing "straight man." It tells of two tramps (Miller Lyles) who were caught while steal ins a ride on the special train of the road' president -The special had the right of road but was switched onto a siding in order the tramps would be thrown off. While on the siding a freight running without orders passed the special, and the president noting the narrow escape, sent his valet (Mr. to find the tramps whose stolen ride averted a calamity, and give them $500. The valet goes into Mound Bayou. Miss, where the entire locale of the piece has been' placed, and runs across another set of local bums (Oillam and Cook).

Steve Jenkins (Mr. Miller) and Sam Peok (Mr. Lyles had wandered into the village. Hearing the valet speak to the locals about stealing a ride, Jenkins and Peck suspect he is a railroad detective, searching for them. The story then continues with' the two local tramps trying to secure the while the two hoboes entiled to it are running away from the reward.

Incidental to the action are four scenes, three of them in the final act of the two. Nineteen musical numbers especially written are by. Will Marlon Cook in music and Henry S. Creamer, lyrics. Jesse A.

Shipp and Will A. Cook staged the show. A new move ment in chorus girl work is a quick moving action, so neat in its simplicity 'it's odd no white producer thought of it hen. there is a new bit of comedy busi ness on a cellar door, the scene taken by Miller and Lyles. It is funny enough to be minutely described, in a review of the piece by a daily.

"New comedy bus iness" is so rare this cellar-door bit stands out like the Statute does down the bay. The singing department is led by Mr. Troy. Abbie Mitchell. Fannie Wise and Opal Cooper.

Mr. Cooper has a lyric tenor that were he not colored would land him in very fast singing company. Miss Mitchell is the same Abbie. a fin ished artiste of her race who never seems to grow older. She did the ballads wonderfully well and it's worth listen ing to her for comparative ounxMea with the flood of lately recruited white singers ot tier line onto the stage.

Frank Walker plays a Chfnaman un assumingly and makes the character good for laughs in a quiet manner. The chorus is large, with several boys in it, four of them composing a quartet A little girl who divals the ace ot spades tor color and a racinar en gine for ginger outdistances all the others for getting-over personality and work. She is Ida Forsyne. There might be a soubfet role written in the piece for her. The girl doesn't deserve to remain in the ranks, for two reasons, she is beyond that, and "shows up" the other chorus girls is the disadvantage of the performance.

Mist Fnrvn UA "Scay-a-da-Mootch," one of the best rags ot the, evening, but it remains a question whether any but a colored person could get the number over as it should be done. Helen Baxter, another chorister, did very well with "Rat-a-Tat" that called for a conventional, drum chorus behind her. It was this number that kept the lady drummer of the iayenes temale orchestra on the jump every minute. The colored female orchestra may be a part of the snow, i ne rag numbers, however, need all the volume that mav be eiven thorn and it's up to the show's management io ucciae wneme tne woman players can do this. The musical end is strongest on ballads, of the straight and rag kind.

In the early part of the show they followed eacjt other too rapidly, and this part of the performance was somewhat ragged. 'It will likely be remedied to provide beter entrances, although a shift in the numbers and perhans an elimination or so would be of help. "Live and Die in Dixieland" is the finale of the first part. In the second act, Mr. Troy has nicely done, and Crei8nton Thompson sings 'tJhost Ship" which is very well led up p.

through the continual insistence of a 'nut (De Koven Thompson), who wants to tell a ghost story. (This idea of listening to a ghost story- appeared to particularly amuse the colored attendance at the Lafayette.) 1 Mr. Thompon makes his "nut" a sort of Dr Dippy" role, but it fits in. Miss Mitchells best number was "Daddy Lips," but she did a "Smoke" song well Lester A. Walton, a prominent Negro, also concerned in the management of the theatre, and connected with the recognized colored organ, The Ace, has Darkydom" under his direction.

It looks like a show that can be rounded into a standard colored attraction, good for touring purposes for a long time to come, while those two crackajack years, Au- ext receding ii.a a i this state. funy Miler and Lyles (who are both young), remain the standard bearers. Of course, as might be concluded, Darkydom" was not extravagantly em bellished sartorially or scenically at the Lafayette. That was not necessary, and will probably be attended to when Mr. Walton assures himself he has a show in "Darkydom." He may be assured of it He has, and the only thing needed besides building it up, is judgment in bookings.

It would be unwise to at tempt too much too soon with two comedians who are there, but still have to be "made. When Miller and Lyle the "made" Mr. Walton can take a long chance. Until then he should be satisfied to trot along. Sime.

Editor's NoTE--ronVfv' is America's leading theatrical weekly. LAFAYETTE THEATRE. How careful Morgenstern and Wal ton are of the reputation of their play house on seventh avenue was demonstrated Monday when they cancelled the King Stock Co. There has never been a time since they have been in possession of the Lafayette that they have not been very careful of the character, of their performances. On ac count of the lewdness of the perform ance the management deemed it xonly right, in justice to their patrons, to put an entirely new show in for the rest of the week.

The Lafayette management were ex tremely fortunate in' locating the Five Byron Brothers, who are ever welcome favorites in Harlem.

Pollard who assisted Captain Andrews in the toe work, outpunted the Yale toe artists bv ten yards at each exchange. Pollard gained more ground than any other Brown player. His end run of thirty yards featured the third period, while his catching ot punts and his clever and fast runs back held Brown safe after its lead of three points had been secured. This is not the first game Pollard has starred in, as he has been play ing high-grade football all season.

With Thanksgiving Day just two weeks off excitement is running high at the prospects of the opening of tne basketball season in New York, All the clubs are hard at work putting their teams through a system of practice and training with the one thought in mind and that the winnig of the coveted title of champions.

New York and New Jersey will fight it out on Manhattan Casino court on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day, November 25, when the "Incorporators" fepresentipg; New York will line-up against the. Imperials of Orange, N-. J-This will start he balL rolling -Stic a big way and from then on the big games will continue until the end of the sea son. I have, learned from good authority that the Smart Set basketball teams have disbanded and the different players hare joined other clubs. Payton.

one of the best players of the Carlton Y. M. is doubtful whether he will be able to give much time to the game this season owing to the great amount of time needed for his studies. Still I might mention that the referee's whistle is a strong temptation for a basketball player, and he generally finds it pretty hard to resist the call of the courts. This season all teams in the field for the championship will have to meet all other teams in th field who are con tenders for the titL.

There will be' no hiding behind technicality and standing on ceremony and each team will have to be ready to meet all comers. No one man, or no one club can, or ever will be able to control basketball so any one laboring under that impression mav as well give up the idea. The public nas a good deal to say about basketball and they know what they want and although certain issues may be sidetracked tor a while, it is only a matter of time when they must meet The public supports these different organizations and the organizations must cater to the nub uc. mere win be no favoritism and each club will have to fight for the championship. It will not be handed put on a silver platter.

Furthermore, no one club wil decide the title. Public opinion will have a strong bearing on the case, ihe new York Ace. The New York News, The Amsterdam News, and he New Jersey Informer will stand together on this matter of fairness and justice. Fredie Lowry of the St. Christopher Club of St Philips Parish was badly hurt in a game about a week ago: His ankle was in such bad condition that he was laid up for a week.

Although he is out now he has to use a cane. It is doubtful if Lowry will be able to play tor a couple of months. This acci dent reminds me of how very unlucky he is. Lowry has had quite a Ions career, in basket ball and has been badly hurt on several occasions. Here hop ing he will soon be alright again.

The Spartans are working hard. The delegation the Imperials will bring to New York on Thanksgiving Day will be the biggest that ever came from Jersey to witness a same. The Imperials can play basketball so the game against the world champion Incorporators will be a hummer. There are so many things to atract at Manhattan Casino on Thanksgiving Day that everybody from everywhere will be there. Basketball, music, dancing, colors flags, pennants, barges, souvenirs, pictures and a score of pretty girls as officials will make the day one long to be remembered.

Read advertisement of the game. The Delaney Rifles of Pittsburgh. Pa- are not only basketball players but are also followers of the gridiron which will be proven when they meet Lincoln University in a football match on 1 hanksgiving Day. Imperials Defeat Soldier. That the Imperials of Orange, N.

intend to be strong contenders for the championship honors this season was evidenced by the game they played against the -team of Company st regiment at Douglas Auditorium on tti day evening. The Imperials were scheduled to play the Spartans of New York but the New York boys did not show up so the soldier team was sub stitutcd. The Imperials played their usual good fast game and an improvement in team work was noticeable and although the soldiers have a big strong team the Imperial's better knowledge of the game allowed them to win by the final score of 58-2. If the jersey boys play like this against the "Incorporators" on Thanksgiving Day, the world cham pions will have to look to their laurels.

M. C. A. Beats Somerville. At Olympic Field last Saturday thf Colored Men's Branch Y.

M. C. football team defeated the football team of the Somerville A. C. in a thrilling contest by the score of 21 to IS before a small corwd of enthusiastic spectators.

For a time It looked as if the New York team would go down to debeat but as the newness wore off the backs charged almost at will through Som-ervllle's line and several long end runs were made. Somerville could not gain any ground through the Y. M. C. line, but made telling use of the forward pass.

Somerville made two touchdowps as the result of well executed passes from Moore to Newt Carson in the first period of play. After that nary- a first down did- Somerville make. Forbes and Gunn skinned tackle repeatedly for ten to thirty yard gains and Watklns always bored through for the necessary down distance. Both Forbes and Gunn tore off a beautiful run for forty-five yards for two touchdowns and the defensive work of Forbes was good. 1 The passing of Moore to Newt Car son featured Somervllle's play.

New York entire line held well, the play of Oantt, Ricks and Layton being es pecially good. Gardner generalship and Cheering words to the boys had the desired effect. The work of Perkins, Gunn, Watklns and Forbes has seldom been excelled. Clean playing marked the contest and the remarkable condition of the men is proved by the fact that not one man was removed for physical disabil ity. Virginia Normal Defeats St.
