I played at the Majestic Theater. I was the first Negro attraction that ever played in Texas on the major circuit. It was on the Interstate at the time, the Majestic here in Dallas, Ft. Worth, San Antone-- I did the whole thing. Of course, I ve been back here several times since then. I ve been at the State Fair, at the bicentennial in 1938, and back again with Porgy & Bess, the musical-- we opened that here-- and then back again with Hello Dolly with Pearl Bailey at the Music Hall, and with the Globetrotters here at SMU, and of course back here again at the Venetian in the Fairmount Hotel."
