"Negro Entertainment" A Big Success at Marshall Courthouse, May 1, 1925

Negro Entertainment a Pleasing Event

The “negro entertainment” given last Friday night at the Courthouse was a success in every way, and enjoyed by those who attended. The costuming was splendid and was in itself a sufficient cause for laughter, but the parts were well-acted and caused all to enjoy the entertainment. A good little sum was realized for the Presbyterian Missionary Society, under whose auspices the entertainment was given.

The characters were slightly different from those printed, Mr. J.A. Dennis taking the part of Mr. McElroy and a special reading was given by Miss Pearl Tweed.
