ORIGINAL STORIES IN NEGRO DIALECT. 
Marion Franklin Ham kept his 
audience interested and amused for 
an hour and a half last Sunday night 
at the Village’ church by reading 
“The Educational Value of Huckle- 
berry Tarts,” “The Fruits of Pro- 
crastination” and “Marse Andy’s 
Christmas Party,” three of his orig- 
inal stories told in Negro dialect. 
The first story was about a colored 
boy who got himself into trouble by 
stealing huckleberry tarts that were 
made for the white people on the 
plantation. The second described 
how “Uncle Kinchin” lost his index 
finger by having it chopped off by his 
wife while he was holding a hen for 
her to kill—thus leaving a finger and 
not a hen’s head on the chopping- 
block. And the third story gave a 
vivid picture of a Christmas party 
given in the Sunny South in ante- 
bellum days. 
Mr. Ham has acquired a wonder- 
ful mastery of the Negro dialect and

KertH’s THEATRE, Boston. 
One of the big headline attractions 
for the week of Jan. 8 will be the su- 
preme dancing stars of Europe, Theo- 
dore Kosloff, late Premier Danseur 
cf the Imperial Ballets of Moscow 
and Petrograd, with Vlasta Maslova 
and his own big Russian Ballet in a 
series of Dance Divertissments. Kos- 
loff himself is a wonderful dancer 
while Vlasta Maslova he has a wom- 
an of unusual grace, beauty and ex- 
pression. All the Ballets will be 
clothed in costumes and settings from 
the Imperial Theatre in Moscow while 
music will be furnished by an aug- 
mented orchestra and M. Kosloff’s 
cwn famous Russian orchestra. The 
bill surrounding the Russian Ballet 
promises to be one of the best of the 
season. Julius Tannen, the “Chatter- 
Lox,” will appear for the first time in 
several years in Boston direct from 
his tremendous hit at Keith’s Palace 
Theatre, New York City. Mr. Tan- 
nen is one of the funniest comedians

mutter.

HENRY JEWETT PLAYERS. 
“Man and Superman,” Bernard 
Shaw’s great satire on modern court- 
ship opens the week of January 8th 
at the Copley Theatre. The Henry 
yewett Players are planning to make 
it the most notable production thus 
far in their season of repertory. 
“Man and Superman” is Mr. 
Shaw’s treatment of the Nietzschean 
theory that man today has fallen to 
the point where he has only one am- 
lition—to get rich, and woman to the 
point where she has only one desire 
—to get married. 
Boston THEATRE. 
There has appeared a photo drama, 
“The Price of Silence,” starring that 
popular star William Farnum. It is

tion and child slavery. William Far- 
num in the “Price of Silence,” will 
be the first of the big new 1917 De 
Luxe William Fox productions to be 
shown for the first time at the Boston 
Theatre commencing Monday, Jan. 8. 
It will be surrounded by one of the 
strongest vaudeville bills of the year.

martyr’s crown never has head enough
