"Dixie is Dixie Once More" and 'Dixie Melody."
Man and woman, colored but of light shade, especially the girl. They open with "Dixie is Dixie Once More," which tells of our black fighters having returned and "dancing Mose is back in
civie clothes." After a dance number by the girl the man had another colored-soldier number, the lyric saying that all that was necessary to get colored men to fight was to feed them
plenty of chicken and "fighting gin." The girl in a sort of bathing suit costume, which showed her slender but shapely form, delivered "Dixie Melody" and followed with a dance which won returns. There was a dance finish that took them off fairly well.
