Colored comedians. It Isn’t their singing, dancing or instrumentation that makes them an act strong enough to follow, any sort of a turn on a program and “clean up.” It is Just their little bits of character acting. Those of us who have never been south and seen the illiterate coon, seem to feel just as well as those who have, that the characterizations are true. And being so, they are appreciated.
