00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.460
At that time, line 19, 6, 7, and 8.

2
00:00:57.380 --> 00:00:59.740
At that time, line 19, 6, 7, and 8.

3
00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:29.740
At that time, line 19, 6, 7, and 8.

4
00:01:56.360 --> 00:01:59.720
At that time, line 19, 6, 7, and 8.

5
00:02:18.220 --> 00:02:22.360
The Ebony Film Corporation.

6
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:33.420
And it turned out a revelation that such a thing could happen because they were so good at mimic and expression.

7
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:57.160
Now, Father operated a barbershop in the Rogers Park area, and I think it was the only one between Main Street, Evanston and Wilson Avenue in Ravenswood.

8
00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:15.280
Well, the district school in Rose Hill, but he didn't like Evanston, so he landed in the far north part of Lakeview.

9
00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:21.220
They call it Edgewater. Those days they called it Rose Hill.

10
00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:49.320
You couldn't tell because they're all black-faced, but the black fellows were on the end, and they produced a real comedy.

11
00:03:59.540 --> 00:04:00.940
You

12
00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:30.920
You

13
00:05:05.780 --> 00:05:07.180
You

14
00:05:15.580 --> 00:05:16.620
You

15
00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:27.360
This man, everybody knew he was a cook or something for some of those resorters.

16
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:35.400
He walked into a fish store one time.

17
00:05:36.660 --> 00:05:47.520
He hummed, seeing nothing, just humming along, and he went back looking at the fish and showing them how they had them at that time.

18
00:05:47.660 --> 00:05:49.940
Ice and table and fish.

19
00:05:51.580 --> 00:05:52.600
Still humming.

20
00:05:54.220 --> 00:05:57.640
Finally, one of the clerks yelled out to him,

21
00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:05.920
Hey, what's the matter with you and those fish? What did you do to those fish alone?

22
00:06:07.140 --> 00:06:09.820
And this fellow said, I ain't doing anything to fish.

23
00:06:11.540 --> 00:06:14.340
He says, I'm just talking to them, that's all.

24
00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:16.980
Everybody laughed.

25
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.100
What did you say to the fish?

26
00:06:22.320 --> 00:06:29.020
I said, I only asked them if there's any news from the sea.

27
00:06:29.700 --> 00:06:30.700
They laughed.

28
00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:33.360
And I said, well, did the fish talk back?

29
00:06:33.460 --> 00:06:34.840
Yeah, they talked back.

30
00:06:35.400 --> 00:06:37.560
They said, there ain't no news.

31
00:06:38.660 --> 00:06:41.140
It's been six weeks since I've been there.

32
00:06:41.820 --> 00:06:42.720
Do you get it?

33
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.120
You
