It v> ; jk *Hn> s ARTHUR COLLINS (Comedian) j Mr. Collins is one of the most suc ! cessful singers of "Coon Songs" now before the public. It has been freely j predicted that this type of song ! would cease to be the fashion, but J we can see few signs of any decrease |in popularity. Audiences, however, | are becoming more particular and l insist that the numbers must be well •sung and the words etxremely plain. | ; Mr. Collins is quite able to please his hearers in this respect and his work is always good, both in solos and tn clever duets with Mr. Harlan. These unique songs and specialties have amused countless record customers I during the past fifteen years. n _l_r j BYRON G. HARLAN (Tenor) Byron G. Harlan, the popular tenor and comedian, ts one of the most versatile of the company of entertainers, and really seems at home in almost any kind of work he essays. Mr. Harlan not only sings popular ballads in a remarkably pleasant tenor voice, but is one of the eleverest and most amusing of comedians, whether his Impersona tion be that of a typical Yankee, a darky wench or an end man in a minstrel show. Besides this graet array of talent there will be Vess Ossman, the fam ous banjo king, whose several num bers will add delight to the fine chosen program.
