shows In and concise terms we feel he argument has several weak points which we would to point out and perhaps Mrs hinges her case the point that minstrel shows vW imeDted only in the spirit doses of laughter all clean fun no some when their racial religious or national origin is ridiculed We would agree with Mrs Ar- that it is of the utmost importance for people to be- able to laugh and forget their cares and the cares and troubles of the world But the fact is that the vast majority of the worlds problems are caused by one thing and one thing alone a lack of understanding This lack understanding is a terrible disease and tension hate and fear are but the symp toms To cure the symptoms by rogatory intent and with little no ridicule of the Negro race that in this time of ten sion and trouble people want indeed need to laugh and minstrel show provides an excellent vehicle for the presen tation of harmless humor The fact that some members cast are blackfaced and rse4 in grotesque costumes is to Mrs Ark install un- portent to the success of the hojifiLy fact that no offence is does hot necessarily mean is taken As Mrs points out It Is some- difficult for people who of a minority comprehend the deep of symptoms is only half of the cure We must conquer the disease itself and it seems highly illogical that minstrel shows which are offered as a partial cure for the symptoms should in themselves create even more misunderstanding thus strengthening the disease Finally if as Mrs says the black faces and the southern dialect are unimportant to the minstrel show and if as Mr and Mrs Hill point out these same black faces and dialect cause offence and humili ation to some members of the community would it not be a good idea to stop using them Yours truly illation
