Main 933. DIRECTION OF MR. WILLIAM MOORE PATCH Tk TAXI GIRLS li THERE is not a more interesting personality on the contemporary stage than Clifton Crawford, erstwhile star of "The Quaker Girl," "The Three Twins-' and Mother Goose." An Englishman by birth, Mr. Crawford has been thoroughly Americanized during the decade or more that he has been entertaining people of the States. Born with a native sense of humor, quite singular with an Knglishman.

it was an easy matter for him to absorb a Yankee point of view and to understand at par all the angles of the American character and the kind of fun "Indigenous to the soil." In this ready assimilation lies Mr. Crawford's chief success with American audiences, who have long since learned to regard him as a native son. Indeed. Mr. Crawford personally has lost so much of the English manner and the English accent and all the other hall marks of the genus Britain, that it would require almost a microseropie examination to detect the fact that he was born within hearing of the famous Bow Bells and therefore Is a Cockney gentleman.

He was discovered by Joseph Hart, some time after the dawn of the twentieth century, and was introduced to American theater goers in vaudeville with a uniquo monologue entitled "Twenty Minutes in One." This consisted of singing, dancing and repartee, recitations and impersonations. A distinct impression wa-s left by Mr. Crawford in the first stage of his American experiences by his dignified recitation of Kipling's "Gunga Din" and "Danny Deever," and also the dramatic manner-in which he told the story as written by Lord Tennyson of the famous "Charge of the Light Even at this time Mr. Crawford revealed his amusing versatility by reciting the latter poem in a comedy vein, and showing how various personages at an English soiree would tell the story "Of The Gallant 600." He was subsequently given leading part in the OPENING MTT1I SPEtTAt MATIXEK (LUIOR DAY) MONDAV. The World's Greatest Reunited.

In stock Miss Morton has varied and useful experience. She played leads in one of the Vaughn Glaser companies in Cleveland and has at various times been associated with stock companies in Ottawa, Canada, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia and Providence, where very recently the Tribune of that city paid her the tribute of being the most versatile leading woman that 1 had ever had. Miss Morton spent several weeks recently with her home folks in Pittsburgh prior to going to her new work in Florida. It will be interesting also to Plttshurghers to know that the manager of the company in which Miss Morton will play leads is George Sammis, who was at one time manager of the Duquesne Theater in this citv.

"Billy "VVhitlock is undoubtedly the originator of this form of entertainment," said Mr. Trimrose. "On the benefit night of Dick Mvers in the Walnut Street Theater. Philadelphia in 1839, Billy AVhitlock, Dick Myers and Master John, Diamond appeared in a musical sketch. "VVhitlock played the banjo.

Myers the violin and Diamond the fiddle." They appeared in black face. The novelty, slight as it was, was an immediate success, and two years later the idea was extended. 'Dan' Emmett. the author of Frank Brower and 'Dick' Pelham joined, in. and negro minstrelsy was started on a career which has lasted for 70 years.

"The minstrel show was built up from the historic 'first part," the famed semicircle, with bones and tamhorine at the ends," says the Vetera minstrel star. "This was found in the first real minstrel show, and has continued down to the present day, although instead of two "end men' we now have 10. But the real old-timo company had but one 'bones' and, one Sambo, or Snow, as he was sometimes addressed by the interlocutor or middleman. The old minstrels were fertile of songs that lingered in the memory.
