pie all the time.’ Such was brought,
to bear on last Friday night, when

LAST CURTAIN FOB
BERT WILLIAMS THE
PREMIER COMEDIAN
(Continued from Page 1.)
In 19u:i, whan the Williams and
Walker company played at the Shaf
tesbury Theater, in l^ondon, Williams
was invit ><1 to attend a lawn party
at Buckingham Palace to entertain
guests at the birthday celebration of
the Prince of Wales. His demeanor
so delighted royalty that he remained
until ins death a favorite with Ix>n
doners.
Forms Partnership With Walker.
It was in 1895 he met George Wal- j
ker In betroit, with whom he formed j
a partnership thut lasted until the
latter’s death In 1909. They made!
the name of Williams and Walker!
famous throughout the Flngllsh-speak
Ing world. Their first appearance in
New York was in 1896 and 1897. In
_
1902 they went to England whart
their American success wbb duplicat
ed. Among the attractions made fa
mous by this team were “The Policy
Players,” "Bandanna Land.” “Abysin
nia,” “The Gold Bug,” “Senegambian
Carnival,” “SonB of Ham” and “In
Dahomey.” It was with the Iasi
named production that they appeard bc
successfully In London. Georgo Wal
ker died In 1907 and Williams wat
featured alone In “A Load of Coal.’
In 1911 he made a Ziegfleld contract
under which he appeared in “The Fol
lies” for ten years. The comedian is
said to have left a large fortune, which
goes to his wife, Lottie Williams
Funeral services were held Tuesday
at 12:30 p. n>. in St. Philip’s Episcopal
Church, the Rev. Hutchens Chew
Bishop, rector of the parish, officiat
ing. On Wednesday the body was
taken to the Masonic Temple, where
services were held by St. Ceclle Lodge.
Burial was In Woodlawn Cemetery.
Williams became a member of the
Masonic order In Edinburgh In 1907.
An Asset of the Race.
Booker T. Washington wrote of Wil
liams:
"Bert Williams is a tremendous as
set lo the Negro race. The fact of his
success aids tho Negro many times
more than he could have helped the
race by merely contenting himself to
whine about racial difficulties. The
fact Is the American people are ready
to honor any man who does something
worth while, irrespective of his color.”
CRISPUS ATTUCKS
CELEBRATION
A GREAT SUCCESS
(Continued from Page X.)
The last speaker was the Rev. John
Albert Williams, who was charged
with “spilling the beans” in the ad
dress above quoted. But Dr. W. W.
Peebles soothed the outraged patriot
ism of the audience, by stating that
“while there may be a question in the
minds of some people as to whether
Attucks was a rioter or patriot, I am
quite sure that the 12,000,000 Negroes
of America need more rioters like
Crispus Attucks.” (Great applause.)
Mrs. J. Alice Stewart in thanking
all for their hearty co-operation, took
the opportunity of saying that no
matter what others might think she
was convinced as others were con
vinced that Crispus Attucks was a
hero and a martyr to American lib
erty. This also brought great ap
plause and put the audience in tune
for the benediction which was pro
nounced by the Rev. J. D. Crum.
Thus happily ended Omaha’s cele
bration of the day, which was a de
cided success.
