AMUSEMENTS McIntyre and Heath undoubtedly owe much to their long and careful study of the varying dialects and mannerisms of the Southern negro as to their own innate sense of humor. They had the best of oppor tunities to study the negro at close range during the early years of their partnership, when their first formed organization, “McIntyre and Heath’s Minstrels,” was struggling through Southern territory not very long after the Civil War. McIntyre re cently admitted in a reminiscent mood the following: “Sometimes we had to go out in our burnt cork after measly bad business and by talking to the negroes get enough to-eat.” McIntyre and Heath in a communi cation that was read a few years ago before the New York Association of Ethnological Science, asserted that the colored roustabouts of Charles, ton, S. C., wharves spoke with a dis tinct Irish dialect, due to the asso ciation with the Irish immigrant's who landed in South Carolina about seventy years ago. The New Orel ans negro introduces many perver sions of French and Spanish dialect. The negro of the New Orleans levees can scarcely understand the darky deckhand who comes flat floating down from the Red River country, the once dreaded land which was the scene of many of the inci dents in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Again one finds heavier and lower pitched voices in South Carolina than in Vir ginia, Kentucky or Tennessee, where today the negro continues to be more purely African than in other sections. McIntyre speaks the Alabama and Heath the Georgian dialect, a study of the pronounciations prove most interesting. The two comedians will appear in John Cort’s elaborate 're vival of their mosit successful musical comedy, “The Ham Tree,” at the Eu gene theatre, Friday, February 2 0. adv.
