Why They Called Him Speedy
By IRVIN S. COBB
DERT SWOR, the minstrel man, is something more than a mere
black-face comedian. He was born and reared in a hVxas town
and he probably knows as much about the true interpretation and,
what is more, the true delineation of certain negro types as any
living man. He knows what most Northern-born men do not, that
1 the essence of the Southern negro’s humor usually is based on a
I gorgeous hyperbole, a natural instinct for exaggerated comparisons.
Much of the material out of which he coins his laughs on the stage
j is based upon things he heard or saw when a boy down in Te^as.
One of his must popular wheezes is a faithful rendition-of some-
thing .which ■ a > colored man at Fort Worth shid years ago. Two
negroes were talking together.VAs Swor passed he gathered that the
subject under discussion was the relative fleetness of foot of the pair.
As ne oahke within earshot cne of them said:
• , *tTotl claims you is fist! You says you’s so fast folks calls you
speedy! Jest how fast is you, nigger?”
“Fll tell you how fast I is,” said the other. “De room whar I
