TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1-THE FIILCNER ENTERTAINERS
MRS. CORNELIA FULCHER
MISS EVANGELINE FULCHER
MR. MAURICE LEE FULCHER
The Fulcher Entertainers are a unique organization. They present pro-
grams of unusual brightness and variety, consisting of humorous and dra-
matic monologues, music, and one or two short plays.
Mrs. Cornelia Fulcher has been acclaimed a negro dialect reader with-
out a peer. She has absorbed the atmosphere and traditions of the gen-
uine Southern negro; has made this especial line of work a life study and
she now stands unequaled In her line. Of late years she has almost
been forced to abandon other forms of expression so great has been the
clamor for the darkey monologues and readings.
Miss Evangeline Fulcher, aside from being the possessor of a beauti-
ful soprano voice, possesses dramatic ability in a marked degree. In her
interpretation of "Galatea,” her breezy widow in “A Box of Powders,"
her poetic and dramatic readings and in her mimicry, she proves herself
an artist in the first rank. Just now she is making a specialty of old
Scotch and English ballads, in which she is unusually successful.
Maurice Lee Fulcher is the pianist. His playing is marked with splen-
did technique and brilliancy of interpretation. His acting in short plays
and farces is clear cut and marked with a wealth of detail, showing much
study and experience. A proof of his versatility is his ability to suc-
cessfully assume the character of Pygma|ion, the Grecian sculptor, in
‘‘PygmaMqn and Galatea” and the stage-struck girl in Pauline Phelps’ “A
Trial Performance” the same evening.

Commissioner Mayfield of the Tex-
as Railroad Commission writes a no-
table letter to Railroad Commissioner
O. P. Gathlin of Ohio, who is chair-
man of committee on uniform classifi-
cation, which is to report at the con-
vention of railroad commissioners to
meet at an early date; in which he
says;
“I beg to advise that I have hesitat-
ed to express my opinion because my
views are so diametrically opposed to
what seems to be the popular trend
of opinion.
“In my judgment uniform classifi-
cation is little short of ah illusion; it
is absolutely impracticable and alto-
gether unwise. Classification is but a
process of rate making, and uniform
classification, to be of substantial val-
ue, must be followed by uniform rate
making which at once demonstrates
the utter absurdity of the scheme.
“Such a thing as uniform classifi-
cation can not be maintained within
the limits of even a state, much less
the union. For example, take the
conditions that prevail in the State
of Texas, where rates on state com-
merce are prescribed absolutely by a
guess of the government and uniform-
ity in all respects Is looked after with
especial care.
“The railroad commission of Texas
has prescribed a classification of its
own, and the Jact remains that not
exceeding 15 per cent of the com-
merce of this State is governed by
this classification, and I dare say the
same general conditions prevail in the
territory of official southern and west-
ern classification.
Within this State we have upward
of forty tariffs and most of the sep-
arate tariffs embrace Innumerable
commodities, and the whole of them
means nothing more nor less than the
classification difference from that pre-
scribed in the standard classification..
“There are many factors to be con-
sidered in rate making, and an im-
portant one is the character and den-
prescribed. These conditions shift
and differ as you shift and change
from one section of the country to an-
other and rates must be prescribed
taking into consideration those shift-
sity of a commodity for which a rate
ing conditions; and, therefore, I re-
peat that the scheme, in my opinion,
is visionary and absolutely impractica
ble.
“The interstate commerce law as It
is all right and Is wise and needed

one weak spot that ought to be reme-
died with all possible speed and the
