FROM NEBRASKA
TO TENNESSEE.
(Continued from first page.)
gyman’s Colored nurse girl. Of course
a nurse girl implies children to be
nursed and cared for. The good doc
tor, D.D., not M.D., or DD.S; has two
or three lovely children, who are very
fond of “nursie”—strange, isn’t it,
since they are white and she is black ?
Nursie is fond of them.
“Nursie” likes to attend picture
shows. The nearest one which ad
mits Colored people is on Beale ave
nue, Memphis’ famous Colored Broad
way, if you please, several blocks
away.
“Nursie” said the employer: “I don’t
care to go to Beale avenue every time
I want to attend the movies.”
The good doctor said: “Of course
you don’t. Well, just take the chil
dren and go to the ‘X’, ” naming an ex
clusive (for white people only) pic
ture theatre near by.
So Nursie takes the children and
has entre to the exclusive movie the
atre. She couldn’t go alone, of course.
She would be excluded.
And Also to the Circus.
A circus was in town. Not when
I was there in February. Two such
attractions—ahem—could hardly be
there at the same time, without either
one or the other attraction suffering.
Modesty forbids my saying which at
traction would have suffered in that
event. The circus was there last year.
Circuses have their exits and their
entrances,” too, “this side for white,”
“this side for Colored.”
The reverend doctor took his wife
and children—simply “to see the ani
mals,” of course. This is the way
my good father, who was a Methodist
class leader, but loved a circus, used
to jusitfy ris attendance. He had to
go to “take the children to see the
animals,” but somehow we all got to
see the trapeze performers, bare-back
riders, clowns and everything
else there was to see. This good doc
tor, like my father, doubtless, took
his children to “see the animals.”
“Nursie” went^ too, to take care of
the children. Did she enter by the
way provided “for Colored people?”
No! The good doctor simply said to
the doorkeeper, “Servant,” and Nursie
went in along with the rest of the
white folks and sat in the reserved
seat section to see the show.
