Ilall, and all of them are stars. Al Field is probably the bent minstrel exponent of the genuine .South ern “ nigger” on the stage. Every act and every word of Ids is so true to life that it is extremely comical. That fat, lazy drawling way of Al’s would make a sick man laugh. K. M Hall, l.anjolst.
