RAVINIA’S MINSTREL " snow MARCH 23-29: Thursday, Much 18, 1930 Gen. JJackson Showboat Troupe ls new? for This Port; eatures (By F. V. Degenhardt) _ Yes sir, the ol' "Ginral" Jackson showboat troupe is headin' this way, --chutreine up the Mississippi under full steam, and will pull into dock at the foot of Roger William avenue on March 28.29. And this bunch is jes’ got everything,-yes sir, every-' thing. Swell little hoofers whut does buck and wing, and barrel-chested bassos whut.sure kin sing. Octoroon gals tum ol' New Orleans with that eome.thither look, and pearly teeth that glisten as they lean over the footlights to sing "Wop't You Come and Play with Me?" And hooters,--- say, folks, you never seen such step- pers Voodoo men from canebreak country of Louisiana,-sureenough medicine show men with the funniest gags in the world,-tumbfers, come- dians, ginirhiun-olad Topsies, big- footed tap dancers, and a trained chorus of dancing-singing mummy- shouting chocolate drops! Man oh man, dey tum-dat', all, der Jes' am! Magnolius Conception The entire scenic effects for this production have been ‘constructed in our own studios, and present a mag- nifieent, magnolius conception of the ante-bellum south, rich with the fra- grance tit Wisteria blossoms, and eu- calyptus buds. You will be taken back to the days of the hoop-skirt and crinolines, when the darkies gathered down at the levee as the old showboat came to town. . And right this moment the Ravinia showboat am chuggin’ up the Missis- sippi, loaded to the rails with a pep- perfied Iconglomeration of high-step- ' ping melodious smokes! Boy, is dey got fun! Dey all is Jes' bustin' out with wiseeracks,-crazy as a bunch of March hares, and rarin' to got. As Mister Frogleg Leonard done express hit,- _ "Ah kin shake mah shoulders Ah kin shake mah knees Ah'm a free-born American Ah kind shake whut Ah please'." "Exeus'. me fo' interruptin' you', Mister Froglez," chimed in Hamfat Bennett, "but whut bizness is yo' mi when de show season closes?" "Oh," replied Froglog, "Ah drives a bus whut holds 14 people with up- holstered seats." "By the way Ham- fat," asked Frogleg, "How come yo' is so bowletrited'.'" "Well, yo' see when Ah wuz a little baby mah puppy done swat so many Mes on mah haid dat he bent mah laigs," said Hamfat. 'Tat let me act yo' 3 question, Ham- fat,-ef one of de gals wuz to fall in the water what would you all dot" cnme buck Frogleg. "Why," said Hamfnt, "Ah would throw her a cake of soap." "A cake of soap, - why would you all do dat?" "To wash her back," laughed Hamfat. "Man, said Froglez. yo' is Jes' full of foolishness tonittht,--you all bet. ter save some of dem gags fo' de show." But we all ain't worrying about dat, 'cause we is just bustin' with jokes. "Ah guess Ah'll go sit on deck with mnh gal and watch the yellow moon come up," said Frogleg. "Wait a'minit, Ah wants to at yo' Jes' one question mo,' "said Hamfat, "Why is yo' gal’s teeth like de stirs?" "Shu' Ah don't know." "Why, Catttrtt dey comes out every night!" roared Hamfat. _ Well folks, we will see yo' all di- rectly up yander in Ravinia on March 28, 29,-en don't fergit to git yo' tickets early!
