Dec. 1 Here They Are The Epitome of Colored Artists Shufflin’ Band Says the “Baltimore American”:— 'Liza is a colored girl, but like most colored girls in stage entertainment, ’Liza does not hop around, gyrate with swinging arms and shuffling feet, bucking, winging and whooping. 'Liza stands still and sings, and as she sings she pictures the hut down south where her mammy waits—sings with a note of sympathy and a crooning sweetness that makes her song-story a real thing. ’Liza tells you just why she wants to see her Mammy—sells you the idea that a trip to Alabama is the most desired thing in the world and puts you in the mood to “kick-in” for a railroad ticket.
