l and O' Cotton Attracts
Overflow Crowd
In spite of numerous activi¬
ties scheduled in Savannah.
“Land O’ Oatton” attracted an
overflow crowd to Meldrim
Auditorium. “Land o Cotton"
was given by the Alpha Theta
Zeta chapter of Zeta Phi Beta
Sorority.
“Land O’ Cotton” was a com-
plete minstrel show in one act.
It moved fast as the six come¬
dians exchanged hilarious jokes
with each other and the inter¬
locutor. The dancers showed
their skill in an excellent soft-
shoe and a stately sailor dance.
The minstrel opened with a
snappy welcoming song inter¬
spersed with lines of old famil¬
iar songs that were sung in min¬
strels long ago. At one point
in the song, the six comedians
entered a comical routine.
The audience was in stitches
when it heard how Jack found
out that gratitude was not a
fish, how Dick told about the
new radio inventions, how Har¬
ry described his marriage, how
rjm recited his poetry and
Sound, to his amazement, that
Shakespeare was dead, the com¬
plicated waj Joe described how
his dogs catch fish and the
kind of work he does while
Tcm tried to find out what the
dogs’ names were and why Joe
didn't clean clothes if he work¬
ed for a clothes cleaner.
The dialogue was written by
Arthur Kaser, lyrics by Johnson
and Kaser, and music by Fred¬
rick Johnson.
Characters were: Interlocuter
_William White, Ella Fisher;
Comedians: Tom Cook — Gwen¬
dolyn Keith; Joe McDonald —
Frankie Golden; Harry Rich¬
ards Eugenia Durden; Dick
—
Hawkins — Matilda Rivers; Jim

son—Anita Stripling.

on. Ensemble: Mary Council,
