City of Pious Regard and Brotherly Love. /SHAKSPEARE AND POMPEY JONES. ‘Sketch of a Colored Theatre on a Quaker City Saturday Night. “WHITE ON BLACK, BLACK THE PLAYER.” Experience of a Herald Correspondent Play- ing Reconstructed African. PHILADELPHIA, July 19, 1873. Mave you ever seon a negro show? I donot ‘mean a minstrel performance in which the actors are naturally white, nor a camp meeting nor a dove feast, wherein the characters are really Afri- wan, but a real, high-toned and legitimate tragedy, done entirely in black, It is almost useless for ame to pause for your reply. Unless at some period of your life you have been aresident of Philadelphia At is perfectly safe to presume that you never have, In every other city of the Union colored theatri- cals. along with the election of General Ben Butler to the Governorship of Massachusetts, and the success of the contemplated voyage to London by balloon, may very properly be con- ‘sidered as things of the future. In the City of Brotherly Love, however, they are precisely, in one respect, like the marriage ceremonies of the ‘Siamese—they occur so often that their enactment as attended with but very little interest, save to those who, like myself, detected in them charac- teristics which are original, unique and peculiar. After several hours of dusty travel through a country whose flatness is the only real rival that the pancake has, Tenovation and repair to a witty little negro, whom I had known in former days, aud who, for some reason or other, seems to have taken quite a fancy tome. He was a member of the brilliant and communicative school, with limbs hung AS LOOSELY AS A JUMPING JACK’S and with jaws that were as chattering as amon- Key’s. His impuise to make 4 noise was irresisti- die, and we fail to recall a single moment while he was with us in which this impulse did not get the «est of him. «It was not adouble shufle or a pigeon’s wing now and then, but pigeons’ wings and double shuMes all the time. Were the pinions to be carried from all the pigeons in =the world we believe’ that he could = furnish new ones at the very shortest notice, while, as for shuffles, we feel sure ‘that he could supply them for all the coil upon the face of the earth. He danced a breakdown while he brushed my coat, he whistled a jig while he Dlacked my shoes, and he went after my valise in a series of somersets, in which, so rapid were his evolutions, he appeared to be made up of innu- merable arms and legs. “Got a ’gagement to-night, boss?” he asked, pausing in his gymnastics jnst long enough to put ‘the question. “Well, suppose I have not, what then?’ I re- plied, “Tho’t mebbe you'd like to see de boys an’ de gals play the’tre wid de Romeo and Juliet, Eh?” “What boys and girls?’ I interrogated, slightly perplexed because I could not fully grasp his mean- ing. Why, us; all us boys an’ gals; ebbery one of us Diack ones. Got the’tre, scenes, actin’ trag’ dy. He, he, he! Golly.!” “O, 1 see,” was my reply; and I could not kelp Jaughing at the enthusiasm which burned upon his Brotesque little face. “You boys and girls have a theatre and you are going to play ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ Well, really that’s good, and I’m gure I ‘Wish you all success. I suppose you'll + DO IT UP BROWN, WoN’r You?” “Oh, yes, boss; we'll do it up in seberal colors— vrown, black an’ yaller, No discount on dem boys an’ gals, now, I tell you. No discount, at all, on dem. Dey hab practiced long, long time, boss, Aint ’shamed dis show dis time. Big Romeo; littie Juliet, Oh, dis ain't no ‘casional nigger theatre. Big, fust class trag’dy an’ no foolin’, Want to go?’ remembered that I had once heard Mr. Edwin Forrest tell of his experience in a darky theatre and of the immense amount of humor his visit afforded, so I informed my colored friend that ae would please me more than to accompany im. “How ‘ll we fx it, tho’? cried the little negro, a8 a troubled shadow flashed across his face. “Any Way to sult yourself,” said 1. “lt cannot make the slightest difference to me.” “Yes, boss; but dar am one accident in de way.” “An accident?” Lasked. “Yes; you warn’t vorued black! (Blissful acci- dent!) “Why,” said I surprised, “will they not let a ‘white man in ”” “Nebber, sir; nebber! nebber since dat dar one night. Gracious, boss,.but dat war a night! De niggers was giben de show, an’ de white he cum along an’ he say, ‘Open de door! 1 want to cum in.’ ‘Don’t know ye; nebber seed ye,’ say de man’ger. “Oh, let me in!’ say de man; ‘i’se white!’ ‘Can't he!p dat,’ say de man’ger.

T readily saw that he meant that I should stain «my skin and go to bis theatre as @ darky. All at once many recollections of the past came to mind; remembered how often | had taken part in negro minstrels; | remembered how my school days had echoed with the sharp rattle of the bones, and how many a wild college nigit had sped on to the duli beat of the tamborine.

The pantaloons I wore I had bought of John ‘Wanamaker in thejafternoon, and they were of that | brilliant orange tint so popular with the african race that our dealers find it almost inpossible to supply the demand, By accident I had brought a velvet coat with me, and this, along with @ magic rutile tacked down my shirt front, a gaudy Reman scarf, gathered in a huge knot under my chin, and @ littie brown hat set away back on my head, pro- Gnoed @ periect and complete transformation.

Ob, 80 many black faces as peered up into mine. T ‘Was really afraid those great big eyes would pene- trate the Vain layer ef cork and detect my original complexion. There was no suspicion, however, identified with those glances, steady and critical though they were, and all the uneasiness attend- ant upon my entrance was very soon dis- ed, The room w! plain, small, ungraced yy any floral adornment, and dimly lighted by a swinging Boe. The auditors were not your Alaska street blacks, with ragged clothes, hag- gard faces amd curbstone lips; they were none of Ha disorderly and besotted sort, with proclivi- ‘tes to thieving and gouging out each other's eyes; they were NONE OF YOUR MISERABLE, CONTEMPTIBLE, VAGA- BOND WIFE BEATERS, who won’t work when they can steal, and whose only visiwle sustenance is derived from gin, Oh, NO; none such as these, but the elegant and the beautiful negroes, culled trom the highest circles of African aristocracy, grouped together in all the graces and refinements of wealth, and whose conversation cemprehended all the interest- ing wpics of the time. I mean Ww fay that they were coachmen and waiting matd who, by their association with the high-tone whites, have absorbed a great many of their pecu- liar ideas concerning ali in poorer circumstances than themselves, and hence are inciined to treat with contempt and disdain: those others oi their race whom chance has thrown in a littie lower social rank, can’t help noting a peculiar characteristic of Philadelphia negroes in respect to this, which Ihave never seen 80 conspicuously sipares. elsewhere. It is in this city that the feeling of pride and the reverence for family dis- tinction which deepen and tov often crop out in ross deformities a8 we journey farther south, first begin to show themselves; but the SOUIAL LINKS DRAWN BY THR WHITE MAN are not one-half so hard nor one-hal! 80 cruel a8 those which are drawn by the black. A poor negro in Philadelphia, who has no connection with one of the aristocratic famities or who is not an employé in one of the first class hotels, is almost sure to dne of the most deplorable and wretched human beings whom you could Os8l- bly meet, and in almost every instance is justly regarded as & vagrant and a thief, It was not this latter class that I beheld, but the class which is considered as the upper ten, I had never seen 60 many well-dressed negroes in my life. Atri- can taste develops into all sorts of senentecitey: as a matter of course; but the costumes upon sides were neat and clean, and we feel sale in Ba; ing that @ finer assortment of blacks had never been made in the entire history of their race. THE STAGE was just sucha one as I have often assisted in -building when a boy, and just such @ one as almost every reader can easily call to mind, The floor was levei, and every negro ranch within a be of two wiles had been emptied to supply the chairs, I nave been wondering ever since I came home which was — truly the most remarkable, the collection of darkies or the collection of chairs, The orchestra consisted ot two men, and only two. I counted them back- ward and jorward and two was all that I could pos- sibly make; indeed, one of these was so small that Thad my doubts whether he could be considered a fair count, A long table ran in front of them, upon which rested flutes, horns, fifes, tiddies and drums. It was only when these two men were fairly at work that you could see what an immense number they constituted, Their tatent was exceedingly versatile and their proficiency re- markable in the extreme, When they played the clatter which followed the interchange of in- struments was almost as loud as the music itself. Firat, one would diop @ flute and catch up a horn, then down would go the horn and up would come a drum, while in the more vehement and rapid passages their change was kept up with such speed that the atmosphere immediately about their heads seemed made up of FLUTES AND WHISTLES AND FIDDLE STRINGS. ‘They snatched their instruments out of the zephyrs, as it were, and the norns, a8 if suspended by some invisible attraction, seemed ‘to whirl in the air like spinning wheels. I failed to ascer- tain what selection they played. I have Hid doubts about its being a selection at all. Iregard it, rather, as the product of enthusi- asm, a8 a sort ef an Tapros pea performance, urged on at-a break-neck speed by the spur of the moment. The audience, however, regarded it in a different light, and wildi applauded the men who made the noise, They did not do so after the man- ner in which we have learned to applaud the some- what mechanica! Mr, Booth, but in a way which clearly indicate that they considered this feariul FEES 4s a grosid and glorious orchestral attain- men: AT THE CONCLUDING BLAST, which was by all odds the most ‘“biasted” one I ever heard, [turned about for my companion and found hin gone. He was nowhere to be seen, In the course of about ten minutes, however, the great sheet whien constituted the curtain was puiled aside, and just behind a row of candies, which ran along the stage, | recognized my own little copper-colored—the restless, uneasy, but *oute little rascal who had brought me there, How in the world can! describe his costume ? Gather together from under the mighty looms of all nations the fabrics of every chime, Get them of all colors, mtx them, tear them, cut them into hash, then run them thragh the looms again until in one piece of* loth you have the elements of all vestments, yon whose surface every known color and tint will answer, “Here ;” then, perhaps, you will gain some idea of the coat which this young officer wore, What would Jacob’s coat have amounted to alongside of this? Nothing, and it’s a shame to mention the two in the same con- nection, My friend produced that coat with the aid of a brush, a paint brush, He did not tell me so, but I feel sure of it. He had a pair of “leggins’ on which were as dingy and stiff as though they had been made from a section of stove pipe, and his hat was the most sublime head piece that I had ever seen. I'll not attempt to reproduce his opening speech. If 1 should the typo who would be obliged to set it up would quit the HERALD and abuse my memory for- ever. Such a mass of unintelligible words, such reckless profusion of gesticulation, such frantic ve- hemence in his jumps and strides, served only to manifest his personal enthusiasm and bring into immediate service all his powers of limb and lung. By and by he became tangled. His ideas of what came next grew confused, and he came to a full pause. He attempted to goon, but nothing worked except his arms, It was a feartul moment for the darky— because a welcome speech should always Proceed smoothly. By and by his mouth was seen to move as though he was muttering to himself, and soon od movements became so rapid that it seemed as THE GYMNASTIO PROPENSITIES OF HIS LEGS and arms had completely aeserted them and set- tled in his lips, which actually described all those pce figures known only to the ancient egyptians and to a few modern engineers. it was in vain, however, and the pause was becom- ing terrible. Suddenly he came forward a step or two, and ina tone of voice which comprehended Wachtel’s highest note and many others higher #ull, he delivered the tollowing couplet :— Dar nebber was a tale of deeper woe Dan dat ob Ro-me-et an’ Ju-li-o. Away he went, and up shot the curtain. Out ae one side of the stage came a huge negro, who sat “Lam de Romeo.” And out from the other side of the stage came a little womaa, whe satd, “T am de Juliet.” While immediately after out rushed a half dozen others, who said that they wereever so many other persons. You see this was a shrewd dodge upon their part to aveid the expense of printing programmes. The costumes of all were of the sume @rder as the one mentioned above. Where in the world the actors found the text in which they indulged Teannot imagine. Some of it Was Shakspeare, but a great deal more of it was their own. The play was cut about as much as poor Romeo would have been could Juhet have fulfilled her wish and had him made into stars, so that all the world might fallin love with night. Take into consideration the fact that they played but a single scene, and that this scene was butchered in a manner which rendered it per- Jeotiy trightiul, and you will gain s idea of the impression which this representation made upon m e. ‘The scene they played was the last one, ana of course of the most tragic nature. No words can portray the excitement of the black Juliet, nor describe the magnificent manner in which she k i) ‘self with an ivory-handied carving knife of the most liberal proportions. “Stop dat noise, den I'll be brief!" seid she. “Oh, pd d dagger, dis is dy sheaf; rust dar an‘ let me die!

I had conrented to appear like a negro, and I deter- mined to preserve the identity of my appearance by acting like one. On my way home, theretore, I dove into liquor shops, cigar stores and ice cream saloons, xicking up as much riot as I pessibly could, and singing about all the roaring songs I knew. The result was thas in five minutes after my appearance in any garden resort the white people would generally leave with about as Much alacrity as they will leave @ camp meeting upon the approach of a hornet, I have distinct recollections of innumerable grasps made around my neck by several irate proprietors, and some- tlines platter, glasses and all those other imple- ments into which crockery bad sbaped itself, would ass in alarming proximity to ny head, Every- Boay considered Ine entirely out of place, and had any individual whom I confronted arisen to com- pletely annihilate me I honestly believe that no soul would have made a single effort to save my life.

PHILADELPHIA, July 19, 1873, The arrest in this city of Frederick A. Showers, Jr., charged with forgery, has created a decided sensation in certain aristocratic circles in which the young man has hitherto moved, At first it was rumored that his arrest was effected through a | misunderstanding, and that he was not guilty of the grave charge; but this has now entirely fallen througit, as recent development: slow that he ts a | forger to the extent of $30,000, and parties in dif | ferent cities whom he has victimized are constantly | being heard from, and by next week it is expected that the full amount of his swindling will be made known. Showers is but twenty-three years of age, and ts a graduate of one of THB CITY UNIVERSITIES, His father is a wealthy contractor and has for many years been identified with the Pennsy!vania Railroad Company, A few years ago he took his son as a bookkeeper and private secretary. While holding these pesitions the latter bepame famillar- ized though his dealings with various large firms throughout the country and was enabled to ply his trade with success. A year or 80 ago, as 1s stated, young Showers broke an engagement of marriage which he had contracted with the daughter ef a wealthy Philadelphia iron merchant, and ran away with s notorious Wood street cour- tesan. After expending thousands of dollars to gratify her taste he returned to his former home and promised to reform. He was forgiven; but his patience was of short duration, as his parent soon discovered that he was losing money in a mysterious manner, and at last, as is alleged, traced the matter to his son. Oriminations and re- criminations foilowed, and a3 a result he left the city. Previous to his departure, however, he secured a number of BLANK BANK CHECKS, to which he affixed the name of his father and used them with disastrous effect to the latter. So numerous and glaring were young Showers’ for- geries that the police oi several cities were Rotified to be on the lookout for him, While in Philadetphia his plan of operations | was to call at the various stores with which his father was in the habit of transacting business, and, atter purchasing something valuable, made ayment with forgea checks and received balances | in cash. In this manner he swindied several Pnila- | deiphia merchants out of sams ranging from two | hundred to ene thousand dollars and fled betore fod forgeries were detected. He was next heard ‘om IN NEW YORK, where he plied his game with consummate boldness and success and left “Gotham” behind with debts | variously estimated at from three to fivé thousand | dollars, the greater portion of which was obtained by forged checks. While in Pittsburg two or three months ago he catlied father’s and produced tion, in which it was requested that money required by him would be promptly paid oy his father. The result was that the day after its presentation the gentleman was again visited by young Showers, who presented a forged check and departed with $300, and was never heard of again until the voung scapegrace’s father notified him of the forgery. From Pittsburg he | was apon @ iriend of hi letter ef TRACED TO CUICAGO by a detective, who, however, failed to run afoul of the dexterous bird of fight, but discovered fresh tracks in Chicago, but in that city was doomed to disappoiniment, as young Showers by some means became aware that he was being hunted and left for Toledo on a propeller, While im the Queen City he victimized five or six mer- chants and railroad men to the tune of several thousand dollars, and consequently is very badly wanted out there. Upon one occasion while talk- ing to.a friend of his father's he was RECOGNIZED by a Pittsburg merchant whom he had swindled, and while the latter was searching for an officer he made lis escape by jumping down a fight of stairs leading bo the street and made good his escape. Chief of Police Heines, of Phiadeiphia, bas long been on the lookout for snowers, and on Thursday last received imformation that he had arrived in the city and Was stopping at a small hotel in the northern portion of the city under an assumed name. Ue despatched an officer, who found | owers and immediately arrested him. Upon peing searched numerous checks with his father’s signature jorged were found concealed upon his | person. He was taken to th eniral Office, and while being interrogated he was deteeted by Cap- tain Heines in the endeavor to throw away A BADGE, which, upon examination, proved to be a badge issued by the Sherif of New York, How he became possessed of this useful little article is # myster: that oply the Sherim’s department of New Yori can solve. While in prison here he has been visited daily bY his victims, who are yreatly incensed against Wim. His father refases to atd hit in any Way, and seems determined to allow the law to take its course, Showers is @ tall, fne-looking young man, with jet black hair, a small mustache, mild blue cyes, and is dressed in the height of fashion, He maintains @ stolid indifference as to his fate, Die wae erraigned to-day pad was faily commi nod, 4 FIOHIO TRAGEDY. The Prisoner Held for Trial. PHILADELPHIA, July 19, 1873.
