m-HEATH
ATLANTA, Feb. 23. {IP)— Old-time
L minstrel shows are doomed, but girl
■ ie revues and movies will never
• drive the black face commedian from
> vaudeville.
l McIntyre and Heath, among the
* last of the veteran headliners, are
r convinced of this. For more than
i half a century they have been ca
: vorting beneath the smudge of cork,
) only in recent years to witness the
; gradual decline of minstrelsy.
There was a time when hundreds
1 of minstrel companies roamed the
. land. Their coming to town was tin
big event of the season. Now’ the
number has dwindled to a few and
only the cities and important towns
are played.
“It is impossible for us to com.
■ pete with pretty girl revues and
movies”, said McIntyre, who made
his first stage appearance here back,
in 1870. “But don’t you believe the
black face comedian will ever leave
vaudeville.

Earl Rossman, who accompanied the
Wilkins Arctic exploration party last
spring as photographer, has signed up
with the Adventure Magazine for an
expedition into Asia.
One of the results of Rossman’s
visit to Point Barrow is the publica
tion, of a book detailing his harrowing
experiences away from steam heat,
spats and bayrum toddies.
Ben Eielson says somebody was so
unkind as to place the volume among
current fiction on the news stands,
which is an apt classification for the
work.
Among the prominent high-ligtyits
of the tale is a recounting of the fact
that the author was the "only white
man” for miles around, while he re
mained marooned in the Arctic, due to
the wreck of a power-schooner. Du
ring his imolation his wants were
cared for by a schoolma’am, who
went out upon the ice, speared seals,
etc., and provided the food—while he
languished.
Neither Captain Wilkins nor Ben
Eielson could discover the name of
this feminine heroine in the book, so
they believe Rossman must have for
gotten it.
