M An Evening In Dixie"
All too fust Is the old plantation
darkey with his delightful manners,
never failing courtesy, and humorous
dialect, disappearing from our midst.
The passing of each year leaves us 1
fewer and fewer of these valuable
friends, hs well as servants, who belonged
to our fathers and grandfathers
in the sixties. It is indeed
worth while for ua to seige every opportunity
vto keep alive in our own
minds, and hearts and to create in
the minds and hearts of our children,
vivid pictures of the old southern
negro, superstitious it's true, but unconsciously
humorous, full of wisdom,
instinctively polite, and faithful unto
death. It is right that we should
preserve and perpetuate bhis fast disappearing
type together with the folk
lore which he has given to us.
Soon the Camden grown ups are
going to have a rare opportunity to
refresh their memories of the plantation
negro, and the boys and girls
of our tpwn will have the pleasure
and privilege of hearing songs and
stories sung and told in true darkey
fashion.
On next Thursday evening, February
28th, ajt t>he school auditorium,
Mrs. Joel S. Aiken, of Greenwood,'
dialect reader, singer, and impersonator,
is going to present "An Evening
in Dixie," picturing in song, story,
and dress, the plantation life of the
Old South. She will specialize in negro
dialect and spirituals, choosing
her numbers from such writers as
Thomas Nelson Page and Paul Dunbar.
Mrs. Aiken herself, is a writer of
no mean reputation, and she will at
this time give interpretations of some
of her own contributions to literature.
This program is mostly humorous
but portrays, also, the pathos, superstition,
and philosophy to be found in
the southern folk lore. From all the
cities and .towns which Mrs. Aikeh
has visited come enthusiastic reports
lauding her inimitable readings,
bandanna songs and negro spirituals.
This promises to be one of the most
pleasurable entertainments of the
season, an added attraction will be
several numbers by Camden talent.
This program is being given for
the benefit of the Camden high school
Library. The entertainment is worthy
of your time and the cause is
worthy of your support; so plan for
a delightful "Evening In Dixie."
Time?8:30 p. m.?^admission 25, 35,
