run. The latest production oi
his famous Negro Folk play atari a
ed to "running" h?re in Friaco d
last Thursay, January 12, and tl
, from all local press reports its i v
a "Whow". Jester Hainatoa the tl
little gint staged the play, and i
? Joseph James is Brother Moses <1
head of the cult. '<
Will slope on down to Los An- a
geles this week, as the studios 1
are all cocked for a big spring, t
'J The "Wind" will soon be blowing, g

Kid Low Shoes stopped every ]

New York to join Hellza Poppin
. . . according to the Chicago
r daily papers. 'Was talking to f 1
I * columnist just before leaving Chi .l
and he let me run through the 1
back files. Here is what one veteran
columnist had to say,. . . .
''"This week there is a tap ydanc^r
in towtn billed as "Little Billy ^
Adams the world's greatest tap f
dancer". "Whether or not he is _
the greatest in, the world I do ncrt
knew . . . But he is the greatest I've
ever seen, and I have seen *
them all* on the big time, Bill Rob .
~inson included . . . This colored ?
lad stops the show night after
night". All other press reports ^
from the white papers ?ii the city .
" were along the same line . . . I '
suppose the only other "numbah
one", tap _dancer_ they had ever
seen before was "Bojangles"
_ whioh made me smile.
I don't know wh?ther or not ,
that boy will get out here as Wal .

Saturday we happened to be "
sitting in an office of the largest *
book store in the city located on f
Main street, where we had gooie '
to have a man sized clipping book '

to hold it. "No Mil' sissy scrap 1

noticed a quarter on the c

glancing cautiously around to see i
that no cme was looking, he took<?
it on top of the coin. <
He then stooped * and picked up f
the handkerchief, but the coin >
stuck firmly to the floor. He tried !
again with the same result . . . <
and brother, he was getting i
ready to make a third attempt <
when he happened to notice a sign i
