EAGLE BUILDING Dclrarile office spjte tr. lowesc renuls in Borough Mill section. Butting A fit I I Special lo The Eagle Setauket, Aug. 19 The team of Mclntyre and Heath, which went from kerosene lamps lo the footlights of modern Broadway, took its last bow last night as Thomas K. Heath died at his home here, one vear to the dRy after the death of his partner of 60 years, James Mclntyre.

The 85-year-old survivor of the team, who kept its memory Rreen, died ot a heart attack without knowing that his partner had preceded him. The famous minstrel team was formed in 1874 in the days of stage coaches and packet routes. Their Humor Was Clean The South was just emerging from the chaos of the Civil War and the West was overrun with Indian tribes when Mclntyre and Heath began introducing Stephen Foster melodies to miners and cattlemen, and carried across the country songs like "Dem Golden Slippers," "Tie Old Fashioned Church on the Hill" and "We Never Speak as We Pass By." Their routine was broad in humor and free of risque innuendo, with ancient wags that used to convulse their audiences. Mclntyre was born in Kenosha, in 1R57; Heath in Philadelphia, in 1853. but as children the pair lived in the South, where they studied the dialect and characteristics of the Negro.

Teamed Vp in Emergency When they teamed up In San An-ionio on May 12, 1874, they had arrived in separate blackface acts, but Heath's partner became ill, and Mc-Intvre took his place. Their first salary was $20 a week jointly. They were stranded in Louisville on mat first trip. It was not the last time Ihey were stranded. Scores ot towns in the South and Midwest saw them flat before they became affluent as the first team ever to be booked on the Keith circuit.

In 1921, Mclntyre recalled lo an Eagle reporter: "We were on the road once when 'on the road' meant traveling by wagon along routes that sometimes meant camping out between towns. We only did this once. Once was enough. We had bought a menagerie consisting ot a lion, a moih-eatn bear and an elephant which must have been old when Methu- saleh was a young man." Sold Elephant to Drunk With this menagerie, 1he players had camped at the side of the road. A drunk passed, saw the elephant and became hysterical, so much so that Mclntyre persuaded him to buy the animal to prove he was sober.

The selling price was enough to 6uv breakfast for the troupe. From trouping in Texas and performing at county fairs, the black face comedians went to Chicago, London and New York, traveling with Sills Brothers Circus. They became famous with a "coon buck" dance at the Tony Pastor Broadway Theater in 1880. From there they went to Weber and Fields, the Barnum and Bailey Circus and finally formed their own "GeorgU Minstrels," which set a vaudeville record, running 17 years without a change in routine. Skit Grew Into Rtvue The "Ham Tree," that skit about two Negroes imagining a land where hams grow on trees in a sweiuer swamp beside a beer river, was first embodied In the "Georgia Minstrels."
