THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News Masonic Temple To Be Auctioned Final Judgment in Foreclosure Proceedings The Masonlo Temple, 144th street near Seventh avenue, unfinished dream of Harlem Masons, its steel girders standing gaud and sad against the sky, will go under the auctioneer's hammer at noon Feb. 2 at Joseph P. Day's auction rooms, 56 Vesey street. On Jan. 9 a final judgment of mortgage foreclosure and sale was obtained in the Supreme Court here before Justice Thomas C. T. Craif. The action was brought through Attorney Oliver D. Williams, white, 67 Wall street, for the protection of the bondholders, as work on the building had been stopped, and the Prince Hall Temple and Home Association, inc., manifested an inability to pay the interest due bondholders on their bonds. The trustees under mortgage and deed of trust dated June 1, 1926, executed by the Prince Hall Temple and Home Association, inc., are Joseph-Sullivan, Arthur A. Schomburg and Harvey E. Williams. It can be safely said now that these bondholders have not entirely lost their money invested, but the amount they will receive will depend on the price the property will bring at auction sale. The approximate amount of the lien or charge on the property is $56,727.25 with interest thereon from Nov. 26, 1927, together with the cost and allowance amounting to $505.65 with interest from Dec. 22, 1927. The expenses of the sale will be added to the indebtedness, also.

The victims, William Wyatt, William Rooks and Smithy Lucas, former residents of Tappahannock, Va., but now of Philadelphia, were returning to Tappahannock for a visit when confronted by the five handbills, four of them with drawn guns.

Mrs. McIntosh in making her petition told Justice Thompson in a matter-of-fact way that her husband had been physically incapable of carrying out the relations of a husband even from the time of their marriage.

Jams Finger Under Hammer of Assailant's Charged with robbery and violation of the Sullivan law, Bristol Drake, 28. 68 West 138th street, was held without ball for a further hearing by Magistrate McQuade when he was arraigned in Heights Court Friday. Drake is also accused of attempting to shoot Patrolman Edward Hannigan of the West 123d street station, who prevented the gun from dring by jamming his finger under the hammer, in the hallway of 220 West 121st street, where Drake was saluted and gunned, last Tuesday night.

Brooks Acted Without Authority When She Withdrew Funds to Incorporate The two opposing factions of Chapter 19, International, Benevolent and Protective Order of Moose, clashed in a bitter encounter before Judge Lewis in the Municipal Court Monday afternoon. Feeling ran so high among the members that Judge Lewis found it necessary to rap for order time after time. Mrs. Lella T. Mann, noble queen of Chapter 19, unincorporated, brought suit against Mrs. Carrie F. Brooks, ex-treasurer of the chapter. Each of these women represents a different side; both sides claim the title of Chapter 19, International, Benevolent and Protective Order of Moose. The controversy dates back to February 21, 1927. Some members of the chapter favored incorporation, while others opposed it. There was no split until February 21, when Mrs. Brooks, who was then treasurer of the chapter, withdrew $565.61 to incorporate the chapter. Acted Without Authority The question, as brought out in court, revolves about the validity of Mrs. Brooks' act in withdrawing the money for that purpose. She contended that her act was ratified by the executive committee of the newly incorporated body, and that she acted within her authority. Waiting to Rob First Man Along Patrolman Happens to Be the Man — Pair Held Two armed men, who the police say told them they were waiting to rob the first man who came along were held without bail for trial in Special Sessions when arraigned Friday before Magistrate Ewald in Harlem Court on charges of violating the Sullivan Law. Policeman DIPaola, East 126th street station, saw the two men Mrs. Mann, on the other hand, disputed this stand and alleged that Mrs. Brooks, as treasurer, had no right to withdraw money from the chapter fund without first getting the consent of the executive committee. Judge Lewis, after perusing the chapter's minutes and by laws, decided that Mrs. Brooks acted without proper authority. **Attempt at Conciliation Blocked** The Judge suggested to Attorney Thomas L. Higgins, counsellor for the plaintiff, that both factions call a joint meeting and settle the question out of court. The attorney opposed the suggestion on the grounds that attempts at conciliation have been made without success by the parent body. He said the plaintiff had then taken the suit to court as a last resort. **Defendant Accuses Attorney** When Attorney Higgins rejected steps for settlement out of court, Mrs. Brooks gave vent to her feelings by bitterly assaulting him. She approached Attorney Higgins, who was standing before the bench, and flatly accused him of fostering the litigation. **Date Set for Continuance** Finally, with Attorney Higgins still opposing his suggestion of an outside settlement, Judge Lewis ordered the trial to be set for continuation on February 10. The Judge dismissed court by saying, in part: "You people are a benevolent association. It seems to me that if there is a time to show it, now is that time." Since Mrs. Brooks acted not with wrongful intent, but under faulty advice, the Judge advised the members of the incorporated faction to collect the sum from their own group and present it to the parent body before the date set for further court action. DEAN BROWN OF YALE TO SPEAK IN HARLEM The Baptist churches of New York City have decided upon one night each month to be set aside as the date on which they will bring to Harlem, without any charge to the hearers, a speaker of international reputation.

Two armed men, who the police say told them they were waiting to rob the first man who came along, were held without bail for trial in Special Sessions when arraigned Friday before Magistrate Ewald in Harlem Court on charges of violating the Sullivan Law. Policeman Dilqola, East 126th street station, saw the two men crouched in the doorway of a loft building at 131st street and Park avenue, early Thursday morning. As he approached the men, one of them made a move as if to take something from his pocket. The policeman grabbed the man's hand and upon searching him found, he charges, a loaded revolver in his right-hand overcoat pocket. He gave his name as Edward Wright, 20, 118 West 127th street. Wright's companion gave his name as Luther Pate, 17, 238 West 134th street. When he was searched, the police allege, they found a bludgeon in his possession. When questioned in the police station the prisoners, the police say, told them they were in need of money and were waiting to rob the first man who came along. Mystic Shriners' Argument Ended WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16.—The Supreme Court of the United States has under consideration the Mystic Shrink case, in which Negro Shrinkers are seeking a review of the decision of Texas courts enjoining them from using the name, emblems and insignia of the Order of Mystic Shrine. Argument in the case was concluded by Attorney General Claude Pollard of Texas last Friday. He represented the white Shrinkers. Argument for the Negro Shrinkers was made last Thursday by Harold S. Davis, a law attorney. Samuel A. T. Watkins and James E. White, attorneys, of Chicago, IL, sat at the counsel table with Mr. Davis but took no part in the argument. By their questioning of counsel, some members of the Supreme Court indicated that they doubted that the court had jurisdiction to review the decision of the Texas courts. Attorney General Pollard advised them, however, that the question of jurisdiction had been purposely waived by the white Shrinkers in order that a final controlling decision might be obtained from the highest court on the right.

The second floor stairway was a roaring furnace and the fourth and fifth floors were also ablaze and smoke choked the hallways. Mrs Williams assisted in rousing the other tenants by screaming a warning up and down the dumbwaiter. As she crossed the kitchen door barefooted she could feel the heat of the flames under the floor. Her husband, W. M. Williams, and her three children were with her John W. Hern, her son, had not yet come home.

No estimate has been made of the damage. About 2 o'clock Monday morning scores of tenants scampered out of 48 West 131st street when the first and second floors caught fire.

Whittaker of Atlanta University addressed the intercollegiate Association on recent changes in Negro colleges. Sunday afternoon, at the Urban League Building, 208 West 136th street. Miss Julia Derricott of the international committee of the Y. W. C. A. presided. The outstanding changes, he said, have been as follows: First—The elimination of the elementary departments which began in 1900. Second—The elimination of the High School Department, which began in 1900 and step in the direction of transforming Negro colleges into universities. Third—The change in the curriculum to meet the present-day needs of students. "Around these changes," said Mr. Whittaker, "has arisen the question of demanding ratings from accredited college agencies.

Governor Favors Lynching for Slayer FLINT, Mich., Jan. 16.—Lynchburg of the flood slayer of fair-haled, blue-eyed Dorothy Schneider, five, would be far preferable to "one of these new-fangled insanity trials," Governor Fred W. Green told Sheriff Frank Green of Genesee County last night. Sheriff Green had asked Governor Green to he should do in the event of mob violence. The Governor was at Flint to spur efforts of the State's man hunters and offer a personal reward of $1,000 for the capture and conviction of the killer. No child in Michigan is safe so long as this flood remains at large, he said. "There is a cloud hanging over Michigan and every decent man and woman is aroused and they will never have the same faith in government," his guilty man is not apprehended and much in a vindictive spirit, but in the knowledge that no child is safe if this man is allowed to be at liberty," the Governor said. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 18, 1928 Rent Disputes in 7th District Court Thursday was a record day for the Seventh District Municipal Court. Judge Lewis tried 364 dispasses cases in the afternoon session between the hours of 2 and 4:30. The crowd of landlords and tenants far overtaxed the seating capacity of the small courtroom, so that by the opening of the session both sisters were blocked by standing persons. Approximately 80 per cent of the tenants were colored persons. In the majority of the cases, the only excuse on the part of the tenants was inability to pay. The back payments ranged from $40 to $300. The court in such instances issued final orders that the delinquent tenant pay the sum due within five days or vacate. Where the dispute involved the question of the amount of rent due, the court encountered a more serious difficulty, for the testimony for the clues was often conflicting and confused. John Carrington, 45 West 117th street, alleged that his landlord, Herman Cohen, white, agreed in Dept. 80 to reduce the rent from $25 to $50, and that the receipt for $2. Cohen denied any such agreement, but contended that he deducted $2 as a Christmas present for Carrington's children. The court ordered Carrington to pay $52 per month. Mrs. Jude Cushion, 452 St. Nicholas avenue, alleged that her landlord, Frank Pullman, set her rent at $72 per month. Pullman contended that the agreed rent was $73, but adultery and theft prevented the receipt for $75 in December. Mrs. Cushion was ordered to pay $72 per month. William Stovens, 286 West 147th street, charged that in December his landlord reduced his rent to reduce his rent from $45 to $40 per month, but that when he tendered Vogel $10 for the rent due in January, Vogel insisted that Stevens accepted a receipt for $45. Judge Judy McCarthy agreed to pay the court in court, and set the case for trial on January 13. Mrs. Jane Thompson. 887. Edge Brown. $60 per month for nine month out that her landlord, Hugo Kuehn, white, demanded $65 for the January thought. Thompson had been paying $60 and contended that the rent had always been $65.

Valet Loses Suit to Recover $775 Wages Valet Loses Suit to Recover $775 Wages Hollar Says George Jesse Agreed to Pay Hlm $60 Per Week Gladstone Hollar, 695 Lenox avenue, lost a suit for $775 brought against George Jessel, white, his former employer, on Friday. Jessel is the popular vaudeville star who is at present filling a New York engagement. The case was heard in the Seventh District Municipal Court before a jury. Hollar alleged that on May 14, 1927, Jesse agreed to pay him $46 per week as valet to accompany him to Los Angeles where Jesse was to fulfill a motion picture contract. The plaintiff further charged that Jesse at his own suggestion agreed to keep Hollar's wages for him until they returned to New York, and that he would advance him such sums as he would need from time to time. According to Hollar, during the entire stay of the engagement, he received sums of $183. Hollar employed in Jesse's employ for seven weeks after the return East and testified that when he approached Jesse in his suite in the Royal Hotel in Montreal Jesse discharged him and had him thrown out of the hotel. On the stand, Jesse denied all the charges. He admitted that he had employed Hollar for two years prior to the California engagement STREET ```markdown ``` at a salary of $40 per week, but contended that he took him on the trip as a favor and that the agreement called for all expenses and $20 per week, which had been paid each and every week of the engagement. Jesse asserted that he discharged Hollar in Montreal for insubordination and called that he had him thrown out of the hotel. He further charged Hollar with bringing the action as a spite suit. Hollar had no contract in writing nor witnesses to prove a verbal agreement. HAS WHITE CHILD; SENT OUT OF CITY KINSTON, N. C., Jan. 20—(P. N.

"Insurance Co.s' Acts Discriminate" Pace Writes Interesting Article for Southern Workman That the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company actively seeks to insure Negroes but will not employ them in any capacity is one of the silent facts brought out in the January number of The Southern Workman, published at Hampton Institute, Virginia, in its leading article, entitled "The Attitude of Life Insurance Companies Toward Negroes," by Harry H. Pace, president of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company. The writer develops the fact that the Prudential Insurance Company, second largest company in America, will not issue any form of policy to Negroes, having discontinued all insurance relations with colored people upon the publication, in 1896, of Dick Huffman's book, "Trace Traits and Tendencies of the American Negro." Mr. Hoffman predicted that the entire Negro race would have died out by 1950 due to tuberculosis and social diseases, causing nearly all insurance companies to reject Negroes or rate them up. During the National Urban League meeting in New York last year, following an address by Mr. Hoffman, Harry H. Pace, writer of The Southern Workman article, took Mr. Hoffman severely to task for his attitude. tures upon the race ar figures used in his book. Mr. Bee. Mr. Pace divides the surance companies into it according to their attituderegarding their insurance some of the contradiction attitude. The New York ploys Negroes in its hom very grudgingly insures a class, while the Metro sures everybody but will employment to Negroes in them money with which to homes. The Metropolitan, it follows, collected funds late a week from Negroes without turning back a dollar, them in wages or salaries. Twelve Negro life insurance companies have less insurance in them on their own people than this a company. Mr. Iacoco makes a p for racial patronage of these two companies in order to develop for mortgage loans and investments and for a deployment of Negro boys and girls who are coming out of schools.

At a meeting of the Republican State Committee hold here last Friday, Dr. Walter G. Alexander of Orango was selected as one of the seven delegates-at-large to the Republican National convention in Kansas City, and Mrs. Dessie B. Mention of Princeton was chosen one of the alternates-at-large. Dr. Alexander is a former Assemblyman from Essex County, and in 1824 was an alternate-at-large to the Republican convention in Cleveland, in the election he ran far ahead of his ticket. Mrs. Mention has been active for several years in Republican politics among women. She has been for a long while president of the Colored Republican Women's Conference of New Jersey, and has maintained a strong and aggressive organization among the women. The selection of Dr. Alexander and Mrs. Mention is of particular significance because of their independent attitude in the party in the past. There will be added importance to the position of Dr. Alexander because of the averted candidacy of Senator Walter E. Edge for the Vice-Presidential nomination. George E. Bates, grand secretary of the Elks, was an aspirant for the place allotted to Dr. Alexander. Bates was supported by Isaac Nutter of Atlantic City, who was at one time a powerful political factor in Atlantic City. Dr. Alexander was supported by Oliver Randolph, assistant district attorney, who is also a member of the State Republican Advisory Committee. Mourn Monroe's Demise The John H.

Acting upon the recommendations of the Colored Advisory Commission on Rehabilitation in the flood district, Secretary Herbert Hoover has outlined in a letter to Dr. Robert R. Moton, chairman of the Commission, a new program for relief work which provides for the appointment of one Negro worker for each white worker in the service of the Red Cross, so that both races will be equally represented. The program was effective January 1. Dr. J. S. Clark, president of Southern University, Baton Rouge, La., L. M. McCoy, president of Rust College, Holly Springs, Miss., and H. C. Ray, extension service state agent for Arkansas, all of whom are members of the Commission, have been appointed assistant reconstruction officers for their respective states to supervise relief work among Negroes in co-operation with the Red Cross workers. These with their staffs will be employed until April 1 to look after the needs of flood sufferers, helping them to get necessary provisions, clothing, and shelter, seed and livestock, and advising them in matters of planting and other agricultural problems. They will see that houses, which have been destroyed or damaged in a bulb, or repaired in a satisfactory manner either with local contractors or those brought in for the purpose. "In order that there can be no mistake or failure in this situation," Secretary Howard writes. "I have suggested that Messrs. Ray, McCoy and Clark comprise a committee advisory to the Red Cross, and that each of them shall strengthen his staff of assistants to a number equal to the national Red Cross representatives in the different counties; that these assistants undertake at once to complete a survey of the entire situation, bringing every case of failure or neglect to the Red Cross representative, who will at once investigate and find remedy." For a second time in less than a month, Secretary Hoover has taken definite action in compliance with the recommendations of the Advisory Commission, the first being the removal of Miss Cordra Townsend, Red Cross worker at Melleville, la., who was charged with discrimination against and neglect of colored people in relief work.

Simpson — Band Leader's Salary Increased Monarch Lodge Expresses Appreciation to Fred W. Simpson As a mark of appreciation for the work Lide in Prew. W. Simpson has lived for Monarch Lodge No. 45, L. D. O. E. of W., with his famous Monarch Lodge, the lodge at its last regular meeting voted to place the band leader on a salary said to be larger by far than that paid to any other Negro band leader in the country by a fraternal body. The band will further honor Leight, Simpson by tendering him a banquet at Westminster Hall, 13 Lonox avenue, on the night of Monday, January 30, at which time the newly elected officers of Monarch Band will be installed. Several distinguished Elks will be among the guests of the band that night, which will mark the end of the administration of A. N. Hayne, for two years the band president, and begin that of Gillard Thompson, newly elected president. The recognition coming to the Montenegro now is the culmination of a life spent among musicians and in teaching Negroes the art of playing band music. Born in Indianapolis of a family of musicians, Lieut. Simpson, after playing on the stage for a number of years, made New York his home and as leader of the Fifteenth Infantry band, came into much prominence. Later, the entire band went into Monarch Lodge and under that name, steadily drilled by Simpson, the band has set a record by taking first prize at all Elk convention band contests in which it has entered for the past six years. In addition, it has the distinction of being the only Negro band to be regularly entered on the lists of high-class bands eligible to play in the city parks, including Central Park, where Monarch Band has played on several occasions.

E. B. WHAT, fewer bare knees? The Garment Retailers met last week at Hotel Astor and announced itself definitely against any further curtailment of the silhouette, "and, while there will be no evidence of ankle length skirts next season, neither will the feminine knee be so much in evidence" as heretofore. Tucks, sunburst effects, profuse lace trimming, uneven hamlines, embroidery in elaborate forms, hand-painted designs are some of the things displayed in the fashion parade. For four seasons we have had simplicity as the persistent feature of fashions, but now we are to have the most varied types of elaboration made since the war—in dress. Back to the knees—although the new skirts do not cover the knees by any great margin (some of them reach just an inch below and very few were more than two inches), they are to be covered. An inch or two won't make so much difference to those who own many, many short skirts. Just drop your hems—you won't even be reminded of the decorous skirt length of a decade ago.—T. F. B.

Good luggage, smart clothes and a general air of assurance inevitably awaken good service and way whether you are dealing with an American customs official or camel driver. We are presuming your jaint is to Cuba, Bermuda or some foreign parts. You can travel with large bags and no trunks, or you can travel with large trunks and thy bags. The man usually prefers the former way, because his wardrobe is less extensive. He feels much freer to wander about when he is unharmed with trunk checks. The woman, on the contrary, usually prefers to place the accent upon her trunks. Friends may try to discourage you by saying so much expense is added for trunks, but if you have travelled extensively, you know that trunk in reality adds very little to the expense of a trip and preserves good clothes in a magical manner. Packing agonies are old-fashioned. A good trunk, especially 1928 models, practically packs itself, so conveniently is it planned. Inside are places for hats, shoes, for electric trunks and fronting boards and hangers for every kind of clothing. Many fashionable women often take lamp shades, towels and bits of brocade to hang on hotel walls. The minute Milady arrives she spreads the dressing table with the fittings of her case and throws on the bed her pet pillow and her own cozy quilt. Dainty light quilts come in black quilted cases for this very purpose. "A Man's Bedroom" Let us not forget "Him." His room deserves as much "comfort" and beauty as any other part of the house. Today I am giving you an idea that works out beautifully and comfortably. Have the walls a soft gray—a silvery gray. The walls may be painted in this silver gray, or may be painted with a softness in that color. ing secretary; Mrs. A. C.

Arrange the bed to the best advantage in the room, according to the size. Close to the window, or so that the glow of the light falls near it, place the chiffonier or chest of drawers. At another side of the room have the dresser. If wall lights are in this room, have one on each side of the dresser. Hang a separate mirror over the dresser with the silk cord, stress the hanging sewing mirror because it is far more fashionable than the dressers with mirrors attached). On the chiffonier, or chest of drawers, place the casel type mirror which is separate and stands on the top of chest. Beside the bed, place a night table matching the rest of the furniture. On it have a mirror-black lamp base holding a shade of soft hanna silk. In one corner of the room have a large comfortable Coxwell chair, with the separate ottoman (have the colors blend, having black and hanna predominate). On the dresser place black candlesticks with hanna colored candles. Beside the Coxwell chair have a smoking stand of black wrought iron. Or a humidifier in the popular style which takes the semblance of another piece of furniture.

Household Hints Paper towels are useful for draining foods fried in deep fat or for greasing cake tins and molds. Wool stockings should be washed in warm but not in hot suds, and they should be rinsed well in water of the same temperature. They should not be ironed. Scrubbing brushes can keep mud off the kitchen floor as well as take it off, and with them less work. Mount a pair of them to a fireplace on either side of a shoe scraper on the back porch to take mud off the sides of shoes, too. MME.

The modern youth delights in dangling hose, flowing trousers, coiling coats, one glove, and what have you. He has even cast which the watch-chain, without which his father is not fully dressed. Perhaps this is the greatest of all the sins of modern dressing. Without a chain, or less than a pair with an attachment for the clothing, an expensive watch has about as much chance to remain unbroken with a modern youth as an ice-cream soda has of melting outside of a flapper. Throw inside the garters, the hat, and the winter underwear if you must, but stick to the watch-chain while you are going through the silly age.

DON'T GROW OLD ALL ALONE Write for information today Post Office Box 3273 Best Sport Pages in Greater New York EIGHT SWEDES NOT SO TERRIBLE NOW SWEDES NOT SO TERRIBLE NOW The Renaissance Took Ali the Sting Out of Olsen's Men Playing amateur rules throughout the entire game, the Renaissance Five defeated Olsen's Terrible Sweres of Coffeyville, Kansas, by the score of 76 to 42 at the Renaissance Casino, on Sunday night, before a capacity gathering of the faithful. Passing with scintillating deftness, and shooting with deadly accuracy, the colored champions found the basket safely thirty-six times from the floor. The visitors showed no mean ability themselves in caging the sphere, getting twenty safeties from different angles and distances. The game was remarkably clean only two of the four "Terrible Swares," four of which the Renaissance turned into points, while the home boys gave the visitors eleven chances for free tries from the foul line, only two of which they made. If there was ever an all-star exhibition, the Renaissance gave it on Sunday night, with almost perfect team work, passing and shooting. It was a ring of beauty to look at, every main sharing in the very commendable effort. Captain Slocum was out of the game due to illness, but Batch gave the fans a very good imitation of the brilliant captain, with his wonderful passing ability. Batch showed that he is entirely worthy of his regular place in the line-up of the famous team. Jenkins, Flall and Ricks all shone as only they can, and the fans went away with the satisfaction of seeing a truly wonderful exhibition by the Remainance. Next Sunday the Renaissance will battle the New York Whirlwinds and this game should again show the champions at the top of their form, for the Whirlwinds are sure to extend them to the limit. In the preliminary game last Sunday, the Scholastic defeated the Monitors by the score of 19 to 12, and next Sunday's game will bring together the Majesties and the Metro-Diamonds in a game for the Bob Douglas trophy.

Seminary five champs of the C. I. A. A., here as the five galloped home to a 82-29 victory. Recovering from a slump in the Howard game, Archer ran wild with a fusillade of short shots and follow ups from all angles, scoring a total of 9 points. Traylor and Crawford were contributors, donating 6 and 5 respectively, and the guarding of Sapp was so tenacious that he was scouted from the brawny or explosive fouls early in the second stake. Brown, who replaced him, played exceptionally well. Henderson of the Seminary was a contender, up 19 markers while Smith at forward was dangerous, pushing his total to 9. The going was exceedingly rough at times with the score seasuring to and fro until the last three minutes of play when and pulled overcame a one point lead and pulled ahead just before the final whistle. olden Leaf Social Club Staged Leap Year Party One of the most brilliant social affairs of the new year took place on Wednesday evening, Jan. 11, when the ladies of the Golden Leaf Social Club gave a dinner to Ellis Hill. 1068 Fulton street.

Any team from Pittsburgh without Posey in the line wouldn't have a chance to hope that arrangements can be made to bring Posey and his aggregation to town for one big game this season. Perhaps Posey can arrange a return game, and if it be so, we do not think that we will be against such a game. Go to it, Bob. Posey believes that he has enough basketball left in him to lead a victorious team against Renaissance, and as we look at it, we believe some new interruptions in the game will be standard to bathtub the venture if you don't say the word, Bob.

Jan. 14. — Morehouse game back strong in the extra period to drub A. C. 23-15, and in so doing take their sixth consecutive game of the season. The game had ended in a 15-15 deadlock. Coach Harvey substituted A. Brown for Johnson. He inspired the aggregation and started the scoring when he sent a long one sizzling through the defense. The team were capable of desiderily by the spectacular drubbing, and the fast, yet accurate passing of the Morehouse team, and Drawford, Sipp and Dohba found it easy to sink shots to help give Morehouse the eight point margin. Late in the extra period, and trailing by some eight points, the Atlanta University forwards resorted to long shots from past mid-floor and failed to follow through. This erratic playing on the defense was a simple matter for Morehouse to win. ATLANTA UNIV. (15).

C. last Saturday night. Billy Grimes, the Australian, came back to the New York horizon, after an unsuccessful start in the final six-under, being held to a draw by sturdy little Bobby Nelson. They slugged away with rare abandon through the best part of the bout, with even honors all the way, and with the decision meeting with approval, weightsighed 127% pounds, Jack Palice, Fortham middleweight, was unsuccessful in his effort to turn the tables on Eddie Howie, colored Harlemite, who knocked him out in five rounds two weeks ago. Howie reportedly crushed the record held by the verdict. Howie had the best of the rough milking all the way, flowering Palice for nine on a right to the jaw in the fifth, and sopped him cold in the sixth, the ball celling the bout at nine, saving Palice from a knockout. Palice's nose bled badly and he was outweighed by 165.5. Howie was outweighed by two pounds. Upon examination in the dressing room, it was found that Palice had suffered a fractured nose as a result of the straight right-hand punch that had knocked him out, though the bell hit it from going on the records as much. Arthur "Fast Black" Lee, Jersey City welterweight, made his local debut in one of the sikes when he won from Henry Miller, rugged Bronxite. Miller served the purpose well, taking a fairly good heating, though he came back for more each time except in the third round, when Arthur gave his third victory. Miller made pretty good impression, with his forcing tactics, as well as the prodigious use of his left hand. At 1616, Lee outweighed Miller by two pounds. Willie Lucy, whose chief claim to glory is that he lives in the same neighborhood as does Mayer Jimmy Walker, battled to a draw with Mickey Sedin, "Furious" Tom Polesy, Scrantonian, in the first of the sikes. Lucy showed to good advantage against the tough, tough-upward wrestler, met with approval by the fans. At 1219, Lucy outweighed Sedin by four pounds.

An invitation from the Amateur Athletic Union to the Sporting Editor of the Amsterdam News to accompany the representatives of the Amsterdam University to the games next summer was received a few weeks ago. In it it physically possible it is our intention to take advantage of the opportunities the athletes when they go to Holland. For years we have been receiving the weekly releases from the Amateur Athletic Union and have been forced to lunch to themselves when the games are over. We thought we were getting our staff from the dailies. No fellows, the leaders apparently think well of us. SPECIAL BOUTS AT THE OLYMPIA SPECIAL BOUTS AT THE OLYMPIA Jimmy Moore, Harry Scott and Tommy Simms on Card for Tuesday Night A special show will be run off at the Olympia Boxing Club next Tuesday night, January 24, that should be the means of bringing all Harlem out to the former home of the Commonwealth Athletic Club. Three special ten round bouts will be provided that will bring to together Tommy Simms and George Amblard, the latter a coming French light-weight, who believes he can stop the crack Harlem fighter; Jimmy Moore and Eddie Tiernan and Harry Scott and Tommy Gervel. In this section of the city we have always run to mixed bouts, for we know only too well what a hard time the colored mitt-pusher has trying to get justice elsewhere. These three bouts should be the most excellent proof of the greatness since the days of Jesse McMahon and his Commonwealth Club. Jimmy Moore will be making his first bid for direct attention at the hands of his people when he appears at the Olympia next Tuesday night. Moore is one of the most successful fighters and is being managed by Walk Miller, the man who brought Tiger Flowers to the front. Walk Miller believes that in Moore he has one of the best color fighters in his stable and in sending him in against Tierian Walk feels that Jimmy will give a good account of himself. From time to time the Amsterdam News has carried accounts of the showing of Jimmy Scott, and for his past record alone patrons should book forward to seeing him. Jimmy Tails from Allentown, Pa., the home city of Allentown Joe Gans, and they do tell us that the little Pennsylvania town has sent out many a good boy. They have to go to some better than Tommy and Scott will be able to do his best to win from the white boy. A special effort is being made to make this show top anything of its kind being offered in the small clubs next week, and managers from all over are journeying to London with an idea of booking the winners of the make-up in impressive showing. This time will be an incentive to the boys to step from the first group, and the customers will enjoy the minute of the time spent at the Olympia. Majestics Continue to Win On Friday evening, Jan. 15, the Majesties defended the fast Comets of the brony by the close score of 24-20. On Sunday afternoon they traveled up to Williamsbridge and defended the Elmoor at the end of the game, which was 22-5. An extra deadline period had to be played. In this period the Majesties pulled away and won by the score of 33-1. In the Elmoor high-up was "Six" gorche, former Renaissance player, and "Putney" Honer, star of Exemplar Childs, but the score of the Majesties prevented these stars from getting close.

BestAmusementPages in Greater New York ANENT "THE NEGRO ACTOR'S DEFICIT" Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty A Classic From Pen of Brilliant Young Writer Lewis Says Negro Actor Has Degraded Stage Below Notice of Better Classes Brilliant Young Writer Has Contributed One of the Best Articles on Negro Stage to the Magazine "Ebony and Topaz" HIS STORY RINGS WITH TRUTH Eloquently Confirms What We Have so Humbly Tried to Show—A Classic That Should Be Read by Every Thinking Negro—Lift Up Your Voices and Demand Better Things About two weeks ago we invested two dollars in a copy of "Ebony and Topaz," a recent contribution to Negro journalism by Opportunity Magazine, and after spending two nights and half a day with it we came to the conclusion that it has been many a day since we have invested two dollars with more profit. The joy of living in an age which made it possible to secure "Ebony and Topaz" is of such we fear it will be lasting. It has been our custom to ship our magazine to all cities and we are through with the ship. In this instance we will be forced to invest two more dollars, as "Ebony and Topaz" must remain with us. It will take the learned mind to place in writing the worth of this magazine, for so many things in praise of it is necessary we dare not attempt to tell of the joy which we found in reading it. Did we have it in our power, every man, woman and child with whom we are brought into contact would have a copy, but the best we can do is to make of ourselves an excellent companion to fly and induce all with whom we ARE brought into contact, to purchase a copy. From the covers of its pages we have held taken what we consider one of the best contributions on the Negro theatre, by Theophilus Lewis. This article is an eloquent, and the young man who has written it, for the first time, has been able to give us a glimpse of a condition which only the hams of the game will try to den. If in reproducing this article it must be the expense of the usual blah which fill these columns on our "nackchurch theatre", we have no excuse to own the works of workmen in parishioner communities the article to the owners of the theatre. Negro comedy is not free from the professionals, and those actors posing as leaders of thought in the professions. The Negro Actor's Deficit BY THE OPHILILUS LEWIS From "Ebony and Topaz" (Published by Opportunity Magazine) The actor makes the theatre. I bring himself from a crowd of worship for mimicry or simulation. His all limitations of familiar persons and nature excites widespread curiosity crystallizes transient curiosity into theatre a permanent institution of p. The theatre has now become an was an appendage of the church. Its ritual, religious propaganda or roll attract a definite social interest on and distinct from all other interests. People no longer go to see the mission. They go to see him fig a man, a humorous version of a nature, who began as a subordinate of and decides for himself whether he good or to making them harm The actor makes the theatre. He creates the theatre by distinguishing himself from a crowd of worshipers or revellers by his special talent for mimey or simulation. His ability to give clever and convincing limitations of familiar persons and situations and well known objects of nature excites widespread curiosity. By immproving his talent he crystallizes transient curiosity into continued interest and makes the theatre a permanent institution of public amusement. The theatre has now become an independent institution. Formerly it was an appendage of the church. Its performers were a part of religious ritual, religious propaganda or religious orgy. Now its performances attract a definite social interest on their own merits—an interest separate and distinct from all other interests, which no other institution can satisfy. People no longer go to see the actor simulate the story of the mission. They go to see him lig a lively step or enact a contemporary humorous version of the story of Potphar's wife. The actor, who began as a subordinate of the priest, has achieved his autonomy and decides for himself whether he shall devote his talent to making people, he really decides what happens, he really decides what he happens to. As the servant of the church the aaron devoted his skill to making his audience reverent. As the master of the theatre he specializes in making his audience merry. He eliminates the elements of ceremonial and worship and restricts the theatre solely to amusement. But the relationship between the church and the theatre has not been completely sovared. Neither the church, dominated by the priest, nor the theatre, controlled by the priest, or the material boon. Each is strictly a spiritual institution. The church endures because it satisfies men's deepest emotional cravings; the theatre, in its immature state, thrives because it caresses their lighter emotions. I have not, of course, attempted to trace the literal steps by which the neolyte becomes the actor and the mystery tableau or the revel evolves into the theatre. I am seeking merely to isolate the origin and the nature of the theatre as a means of leading up to the final responsibility and test the idea that the one who has been established as an autonomous institution, can be imported from one country to another. American, for example, borrowed its theatre along with its fundamentals of culture from Europe. We Africaners borrowed our theatre from our white compatriots, but transferring the theatre from one continent or culture to another continent, we were able to create an initial mature and more than importing British sparrows from abroad made in Baltimore oroles. The theatre is a spiritual institution in America and Australia as well as in Greece and England. It obtained its cultural license from the church and it has a similar spiritual function to perform. The actor began as a subordinate of an institution designed to exalt the theatre became independent he the theatre itself and an institution devoted much to artificating them. This, in a sense, is cultural degradation. If the actor permits the stage to remain at this level he is a social factor of negligible significance, except, perhaps, to the police. If, on the other hand, the actor advances the theatre to a point where it exalts as much as theatricals, where both colors and reflective styles are present a cultural agent no-coordinate with the priest and one of the most precious members of society. I can now consider what Negro actors have done with their theatre, or, if you prefer, what they have accomplished in the theatre. The test will be empirical. I will not compare the accomplishments of Negro actors with an ideal or a theory. I will compare their accomplishments with what actors of other peoples have accomplished, but assume the resources for whatever interesting circumstances exist in favor of Negro actors if they have failed to make the grade. The theatre, excepting the church and sports, is the most democratic of spiritual-and-industrials. Since sports are hardly influenced by art at all, while the church employs art merely as a hand-menid, the theatre is really the most democratic of arts. It evolved out of a crowd and its entertainment has always been adapted to mass rather than to individual enjoyment. More than any other esthetic Institution it reflects the spiritual life of a whole people. This is not to say the theatre appeals to every individual of a group. It is not to say if it has a healthy state, will representative individuals from every class of society, from the lowest to the highest. If it draws its patrons from any one class, either the lowest or the highest, to the exclusion of other levels of society, it will become either spiritually unaccented or spiritually emptious, hence unable to keep pace with the cultural progress. I like a waste of words to de- TEN he creates the theatre by distinguishers or revellers by his special talent ability to give clever and concluding situations and well known objects of. By improving his talent he continued interest and makes the public amusement. independent institution. Formerly it performers were a part of religious orgy. Now its performances own merits—an interest separate to, which no other institution can the actor simulate the story of the lively step or enact a contemporary the story of Potiphar's wife. The the priest, has achieved his autonomy shall devote his talent to making tre, for the reader is doubtless familiar with it already. It is well known that the Negro theatre appeals only to the lowest elements of the race. Not the lowest class economically, but the lowest intellectually and morally—the ignorant and deprived. The Negro theater rests on it and extends its performance with shameless apologies. The middle and upper classes hold it in contempt and the more intelligent actors themselves are disgusted with it. There is no better way to describe the attitude of respectable Negro actors than to their indifference to its frequent indecency. Unlike the white public, which is often alarmed by the moral tone of its theatre, the colored respectable classes seldom protest against the tendency of their state toward curpitude. The Negro theater's indecency does not offend them and they do not care whether it continues or not. The cause of the indifference of the better classes is obvious and the cause of the interest of the lead element is equally so. The general tone of the Negro stage has never risen above the level of the barrouse show. Its performances consist of a continuous display of imbecility and obscenity with obscene songs and with singing a song and vibrate his lips. An elongated comedian with legs like broomsticks will sing a song and proceed to make letter Zs and figure 4 with his limbs. When an actor has no physical deformity to capitalize he will make up for the deficiency by arranging himself in a suit of trick clothes. A derby three inches of diameters will his pants and his costume will hold his coat together, thirty-inch shoes will enclose his feet and a red tunnel patch will adorn the seat of his black breeches. Add to this a patter which depends on the misprunciation of words for its humor and some hyphays of ribald sex jokes and you have the entire gamut of amusement offered by the Negro stage. What it was thirty years ago once once the novice has worn off, can divert only the dull and deprived. The progressive classes are revolted by it. Fully eight out of ten colored actors will admit the deplorable condition of the Negro stage, only they will demur responsibility for it and place the blame on the public. They argue that if respectable colored people would patronize the stage, they would raise the standard of amusement, but since only members of the lower element fill the auditorium, they must play down to the level of their audience. This sounds plausible enough, but it is nevertheless highly specious. The public has no business in the theatre exe- cted, and occasionally exe- tailed. The rest is up to theatr- ist, whose part we will not consider for the present, and the actor. The actor is an artist, or he ought to be, and he must assume the same responsibility to the public every other artist assumes. A man goes to the theatre to see his spiritual likeness just as he goes to a portrait artist to have his physical likeness impleated. He has a little bit of Henry IV by Henry Iman, a man of Cyrano do Hercules in every Frenchman and a bit of Toussaint Louverture or Booker Washington in every Aframerican. The Englishman, the Frenchman and the Aframerican each wants to see the stage reflect his inner horisom, mobility and wit. No one wants to see the actor depict him as a gorilla any more than he wants to see a portrait artist paint his picture with the snout of a bear or the ears of an anaconda to business with him to tell him what he intends to use. Neither is it his concern what methods the actor employs. He has fulfilled approval or disapproval of the finished work. The artist, whether he is actor, joint- or poet, is a spiritual pioneer. Gainsborough did not ask the citizens of London how he should paint the Blue Boy, Keats did not canvass the town on how to write the Ode to a Nightingale, nor did the Parishians specify how Coyote would portray the role of Osyrrano. Each of these artists divined the spiritual needs of the time and proceeded to satisfy those needs. He did not say people have never seen a picture, poem or acting like I have in mind, so I must not produce it till they let me know they are ready to appreciate it. Still that is precisely what the Xero Theater says the substance of the compilations. It is the better classes from the theatre presents him from raising the standard of entertainment. If the Negro actor was the artist he should be, he would not complain of being dominated by his audience. Instead, he would master his audience and make it like a progressively higher form of amusement. It goes without saying that no actor, whatever his genius, can make a How Come? audience like the Master Builder. And it like the professor how an actor can be so bad as to make any audience dislike Cyrano de Bergerac. It can be logically objected that heroic plays like the latter are few and far between. It can be just as logically replied that melodramas are easy to obtain and that they would uplift the present audience of the Negro theatre and at the same time attract patrons from higher levels of the race. The theater has always brought their stage to this transition period from a lower to a higher form of amusement simply means they lack imagination and energy. It is easier to wear the same old trick clothes and spill off the same old patter than to learn the lines of a play, so our actors follow the line of no resistance and keep doing the same old stuff. It is not true that they are compelled to play down the lines of a play, so they are limited to the limit of their own ability. The only thing that distinguishes the flashy dressed hoodlum in the box seat from the actor on the stage is that the former eats more and drinks less. Like most shoddy characters, the Negro actor, as a rule, is wholly lacking in race pride. This is not surprising, for pride of race is akin to pride in self, and incompetence and lack of patriotism commonly go together. The genuine artist is always a patriot at bottom. He may incessantly have his own heart and heart he cherishes an intense affection for them. Some first-rate artists like Underewald even do not disdain to assume political office. The artist imbued with a sense of race pride and responsibility, like Ethel Waters or the late Bob Cole and Florence Mills, is a rare bird in the ranks of Negro performers. Instead of doing their best to make the Negro theatre a house of loveliness for the diversion of Negro audiences, most colored actors are forever trying their hardest to get out of it altogether, using it only as a stoppingstone to popularity with white audiences. The Broadway biography deville is the goal of every colored performer. Not all of them reach their goal, of course, but it is always present in their dreams, and they do not feel that they have made a success until they have heard the applause of Caucasian palms. The Negro stage is so much a thing apart from the interests of the race at large that it is hardly probable that any colored apologists for it will be found outside the ranks of professional actors. There may be known, and they may argue that the actor cannot have made such a dismal failure of his theatre, for white people frequently attend its performances and enjoy them. These white visitors, it may be pointed out, are often members of the cultured classes and quite famous with the best of their own stage efforts. The Negro actors, while white visitors have not seen the same actors doing the same thing year after year for two decades. Hence they mistake what is novel to them for originality on the part of the actor, just as they are likely to mistake his obscurity for sophistication. Even so, they do not compare the Negro stage with their own, for they are the actors in the terms of drama, while they think of the Negro stage in terms of vaudeville. Drama and vaudeville. The comparison optimizes the Negro actor's deficit. We think of the French theatre in terms of its Talmus, Coquelins, Bernhardts and Quitrys. We think of the English theatre in terms of its Burbages, Irvinga Garricks, Siddhnes, Bracclejos and Quitrys. We think of the American theatre in terms of Hackets, Flakes and Barrymores. We think of the Negro theatre in terms of Johnny Hudgins, Billy Mills, Hammie Harrington and Miller and Lyles, but what about our Cloughs, Pryors, Desmonds and Bishops? Simply this: if the whole kit and caboodle of them were African, Joseph Jefferson they wouldn't have around Broadway stage doors crying for dramatic handcuffs at $25 a week top. The cultural value of the actor, I said in the beginning of this article, must be judged by his ability to raise the theatre above the plane of amusement and make it an instrument for the expression of the higher spiritual life of his people. The theatre should be a reflection and color of the general pattern of life which it is a part. The Negro actor has not only failed to make the stage a vital part of our cultural life; he has degraded it below the notice of the better classes of the race. Our stage does not influence our culture even to the extent of providing matinees idols for the choir of choirglois. Instead it underscores exclusively to individualize the foole-minded and deprived elements of the race. Worse. The majority of our actors are ignorant of both the nature and the history of the theatre and have only the vanguard suspicion why the respectable classes ignore their existence. The few performers intelligent enough to sense what is wrong with the stage must make even a gesture of reform. In his account with his race the balance of the Negro remains heavily in the red. HENDERSON HIT AT LAFAYETTE Harlem has waited for two long years for an opportunity to hear the best known aggregation of colored musicians on the stage and those who took in the opening performance of this piece, the Lafayette Theatre were amply rewarded for their walk." And when the curtain parted and Pletret Henderson and his boys went into action the applause that greeted them was deafening. When the numbers and the set of the company took the center of the stage, the company understood better than ever why Pletret Henderson enjoys such tremendous popularity wherever good music is appreciated—whether it is at the Capitol Theatre, the Rosebold Dance Hall or the Lafayette Theatre. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. JAN. 18. 1928 I am a constant reader of The Amsterdam News, which I have found to be a good and interesting paper. In fact, to my mind, I think it is the best on the market. What I am trying to get at is this: I see some of our best sports are being written up in this particular paper. I have been wondering how they get there. My friends, all have advised me to go into vaudeville, and I have not seen or read of one single chance to even get a tryout. Always have believed myself a born comedian, and I am seeking information as to how I would get the chance. Thanking you for any information that you might give, I am. We are anxious to arrange a series of games with Commonwealth Big Five, the first to be played here and one in your city, when we start East late in February. I should be pleased to have you turn this letter over to the management, or proper channels, so that we may govern our schedule accordingly. I am certain we are able to offer the club sufficient inducements to come here, as the team is backed by the Elks of Chicago. Hoping you will give this your earliest possible attention, I am, Yours in sports, AL. MONROE. As we do not know the address of the manager of the Commonwealth Big Five, thought we would publish your letter, Al. Oh, you'll hear from them, alright. Being a constant reader of The Amsterdam News every week, I notice that it is your intention to receive and publish all news concerning acts, etc., at home and abroad. I have just signed up "Ellison's Trio" for a long run in St. Johns, Newfoundland, and after my contract expires up there I have another big engagement for South America waiting for me. I formally had a music school downtown, New York, and successfully coached the leading lady of the "Show Boat" now playing the Ziegfeld Theatre, 54th street and 6th avenue. My out-of-town engagements have become so numerous that I had to close my school until summer opens. I have an offer to open a tenor-banjo, guitar and mandolin school in St. Johns; also in the different cities that I appear in in South America. From what I can learn from my representative in Rio Janeiro, Brazil, there is a great field for any good tenor-banjo teacher. While I am only carrying three to St. Johns, I will carry ten to Buenos Aires and "Rio." We sail for St. Johns, N. F., Saturday, Jan. 14, 1928. Would Foster Memorial for Our Boxers Philadelphia Mask and Wig Club, 927 South 15th street, Philadelphia, Pa. ugherty. I am taking this pleasure to write you, as it seems that so many memorials of the day are drawing the public attention, and being in the order of the day for suggesting memorials to our fallen heroes. It behooves me to ask for one such memorial that I hope will take anchorage before our new year runs out. I don't know what the rest of the public will think about it, but it has laid so heavily on my brain for the last eight or ten years, that to have a chance to put it before the public as in order serves me in an attitude of non-regret for the delay in presentation. When I mention boxers I do not mean those boys who are actually doing their stuff right now, far from it. For instance, go back a few years when McVey died, and how! And numerous others that are living now that just can pull the grade. Just imagine yourself that you see passing before your eyes Sam Langford, Joe Jeanette, Wolcott, Thompson and others that are too numerous to mention that have at times popped up through some newspaper as old and desitétate, with a hand out for alms. If I have gone too far, mark some of this out, but such should not be. A home for these boys where they can comfortably enjoy the rest of their days on this old earth would be one of the most fitting memorials in the world, and to be a memorial to Tiger Flowers would be still greater. What do you think of it? Being a constant reader of The Amsterdam News and having noticed a few mentions of us in your paper, we're taking this opportunity of thanking you for your kindness. We being the first colored ballroom dance team in Europe, I'm sure we have quite a bit of news that will interest you. First of all we are taking in and enjoying all of the beautiful and historical things which only Europe can offer. It is four months since we've been here and during that time we have played the Green Park Hotel in London, which is the most ultra place in London and frequented by royalty. One evening we were in a very chic night club called Chez Victor. The Prince of Wales was there also. Having seen us dance at the hotel, he requested us to dance again for him, which, indeed, was an honor. He liked the "Black Bottom" so well he wanted us to give him lessons, but, of course, that was quite impossible, as we were leaving the next day to fulfill an engagement at the Florida Club in Paris. We also had great success there. We have been working until last week in the Gaumont Palace in Paris. Gaumont is like the Capitol Theatre in New York. We worked on the stage with E. Nock Light's Band, white Americans. It was really marvelous to see the way we were received over the band, no doubt, because we are colored and the only ones of our type here. We are now on the Rivera for the season. It is extremely interesting and beautiful here. Just now we're dancing in the Ambassadeurs Casino, a place that most white dance teams can't qualify for. So you see, after all, it pays to be colored, especially in this country. We have made a host of friends and well liked by all. We see Mr. and Mrs. Hudgins often. They're both well and becoming real Parisians. Johnny is, as usual, a tremendous success. He is now in the new Moulin Rouge show. He is as funny as ever, and the French people are crazy about him. Josephine Baker is finishing in the Folies Bergere and going to St Moritz for a rest. She is still the sweetheart of Paris, and the same sweet kid that I worked with in the chorus of "Shuffle Along."

The movies have virtually overlooked the woman of this type who is so prevalent in real life, declares Carey Wilson, author and producer of "The most attractive and very often the most attractive and the most interesting member of her sex. Picture writers, the producer believes, are prone to overlook realities in an attempt to create types and personalities too blazer. As the producer of all Miss Dove's pictures during the coming season, Wilson declares every care will be taken to provide the star with stories perfectly suited to her beauty. Wilson also gives her every opportunity for the dramatic ability which has advanced her so rapidly in her screen position. "The Stolen Bride" was directed by Alexander Korda, and in addition to Miss Dove, has Lloyd Hughes, Lilian Tashman, Armand Kallz, Cleve Moore, Frank Beall and others in the cast.

They have what is said to be the youngest chorus and also the oldest performer, working or retired, on the American stage. He is Jalvan, who, it is said, has been "picking them up and laying them down, down under," judging from his performance Monday, who probably is looting that same thing for another century.

The poppy sprites in "Stomping Around" do much to uphold the reputation of the theatre that has raised the standard of ensemble barlam. Sterling Grant, he of the red hair and pleasing tenor voice, sings "Marquita," a song of infrating rhythm, as it should be sung. He sings equally well in Spanish as in English.

It is my earnest request, that no one, minister especially, or politician, use what they call their "pill." I feel, and the public feel, that my influence or good is just as far teaching as any other, and that more people out of jail, and rescued them from the courts, than any two colored persons in Brooklyn. "I have not asked anyone to come to me," I ask. I think the committee and loyal friends for what they have done, but my request is that they go to the rescue of the masses. In this case I am fully prepared to fight my own battle and to give the right of Harten and co-operate with the people about a better day for the Negro throughout this country."

Buffalo avenue and Dean street, a few days ago, when their pastor, the Rev. Dr. Lowry, would no longer act as shepherd of the stock. Dr. Lowry has been pastor of this church since a number of the members of what was known as Union Bethel and Dean avenue and Dean street withdrew and started a new church. They used the name Union Bethel because of a legal technicality and Dr. C. P. Cole, the pastor of the group that remained. They chose Bethel A. M. E. Church. The great stir was due to the fact that many of the members of the new church thought that Dr. Lowber would be better suited to the England Conference by Bishop William Wilkins, the First Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church. This transfer was made possible by the death of the late Rev. Robinson. Dr. Lowber will take charge of the church from persons close to Dr. Lowber it was learned that he has long wanted a transfer, for he thought that he was the innocent victim of a combination of abuse and neglect in the midst of a row he was in that he be transferred, but as a loyal member of the A. M. E. Church he observed the orders of his presiding elder and bishop. Dr. Lowber was sent to Union Rethul Church several years ago when the Rev. Montrose W. Thornton was presiding elder of the Brooklyn District of the Rev. Annual Conference of the A. W. E. Church. The recognition of this group was the cause of a great verbal fight on the floor of the conference, the principal diplomatic bearing Jer. W. I. Cole, pastor of the members who remained at the old church, and Dr. Thornton. Dr. Thornton won and the new group was recognized by Bishop Heard, who used the term "Union Bachel No. 2." Since this element left there was a legal row over money that was in the bank, and Dr. Cole won this battle. He has been able to start a new church, and Dr. Cole cornered the cornerstone Sunday, Jan. 5. It is reported that the Rev. Mr. Collins will be the new pastor of the Union Bethel flock, "whose shepherd is gone," to use the words of the late Dart Williams. 14.

A feature of the evening was the rendering of several vocal numbers by Mrs. Walker in a very pleasing manner. The young people of Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church have organized a literary club. This is the first of its kind in the church. They plan to offer many special features to the public from time to time. Their first effort was a mass meeting at the church on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 8. "Is the Negro Youth Preparing to Meet the Future?" was the topic for discussion. The thirteenth anniversary and annual installation of officers of the Society of the Sons of Virginia, Inc., was held in Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening, Jan. 6. The Rev. James A. Manning installed the following officers: N. B. Dodson, president; G. B. Mumford, vice-president; I. H. Hodges, financial secretary, and A. R. Nash, treasurer. A collation was served upon the conclusion of the installation exercises. The Charity Club of Excelsior Temple No. 35 of the Daughter Eilis held their regular monthly meeting at the home of Daughter Manie Bough. 35 Marion Tremblay was the guest. Upon the conclusion of business an elaborate collation was served. Daughter Eila Reed is president of the club. The Marching Club of Brooklyn Lodge, of which Henry H. Klimbough is president, is doing great work towards their "On to Chicago" movement. Miss Bertie Jackson, of 588 Putnam academy, has few friends at her home on Tuesday evening, Jan. 3. Among those present were Misses Henrietta Page, Gladys Jackson, Jackson Johnson, Waldine Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Alfonzo Walcott, Lawrence Gorilla, Bennett Browning, Winfield Jackson, Music and games were the features of the evening. The Drill Club of Excelsior Temple No. 35 of the Daughter Eilis will hold their regular monthly meeting at the home of the president, Daughter Pearl Reid, 1608 Fulton street. The members of Linen Shower Club No. 1, of which Miss Eather Bradley is president, hold their regular meeting at the home of Mrs. J. M. Page, 95 Kingston Street, London, J10. After the business of the evening had been finished the hostess served a very appetizing repast. The first case before newly elected Supreme Court Justice J. R. Johnson was sent to IV on January 10 was that of George White, a 12-year-old boy, who brought a damage suit against R. F. Keth for injuries sustained when the boy was struck by a sign blown from one of the Keith theatres in 1925. The Get-Together Club met at the BOOK REVIEW PLAYS OF NEGRO LIFE. Selected and edited by Dr. Alain Locke and Montgomery Gregory. Harper Brothers. $5. Alain Locke and Montgomery Gregory have selected and edited a most remarkable publication under the title of "Plays of Negro Life," which will doubtless serve as a guide for Negro play-writing, in the future. The reading and theatre-going public owe these young men a debt of everlasting gratitude for collecting in book form the best plays to date of Negro life. home of Mrs. Ella Reid, 59 Irving place, last week. After business was completed, a social hour was enjoyed by all. Those present were: Mrs. Hunta president; Mrs. Wilkerson, secretary; Mrs. Levi, assistant secretary; Mrs. Dawkins, Mrs. Warfield, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Treadwell, Mrs. Dickerson, Mrs. Senga, Mrs. Williams. Among the twenty plays selected that stand out most significantly are: "The Dreamy Kid," "The Emperor Jones," by Eugene O'Neill; "The Rider of Dreams" and "The Danse Calenda" by Ridgley Torrence; "The No Count Boy" and "In Abraham's Bosom" by Paul The Nazarene Church The Rev. Dr. Henry Henry Proctor sounded "The Bugle Call of God" in his morning sermon and at the evening hour he gave a picture of the living Christ, as the first of the series he is preaching on the Book of Romans. The following is the series of sermons from the last book of the Bible; January 22, "The Message of Christ to the Church of Today"; January 29, "The Song of the Lamb"; February 9, "The Song of the Lamb"; February 18, "The Mark of the Beast"; February 28, "The Battles of the Powers"; March 4, "A Vision of the Dend"; March 11, "A New Heaven and a New Earth"; March 18, "The City of God"; March 25, "The River of Life." Reports of the annual meeting of the church progress in all departments. Fifty-one new members had been received and $33,000 had passed through the treasury of the church, including the building fund. Great rejoicing was caused by the exhibition of the treasury of the deed to the new church home. The following new officers were chosen: Deacons, N. J. Minor, Jas. Pettus; deaconeses, Mrs. A. Hudson and Mrs. L. Lehman; superintendent, Miss C. Tshabalani; trustees, L. H. Batley, S. C. Hudnell, Luckete, L. Barry, contributed $300.

Bohmanlain Immohan was given by Miss Wilson Wilhelm of 258-A Clifton place, who is one of the popular debutantes, on Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 3.

Those productions by O'Neill, Torrence and Gren show more mastery of technique than the others. However, all of the plays are of a high standard and serve as a measuring stick for those writers who produce plays in the future. The work of Paul Green is, deserving of special mention, Green, a southern white man, appears to fully understand the Negro, and knows how to turn his observations of actual Negro life into dramatic material which is, unoffensive to Negro readers in all stages of educational standing. While the Negro writers, represented in the collection of plays, do not measure up to the white writers—Torrence, Green O'Neill, the mathematician, the technician, the dramatic dancer, they, perhaps, show a marked ability at approaching the white man's standard of dramatic handling of material. Possible lack of practical experience or probably a desire to set a standard all their own causes the slight difference. Then, on the other hand it is possible that Negro writers are so close to the situations and actual facts of Negro life they are unable to view conditions in a sort of detached way. Personally, I am favorably impressed with the manner in which Negro writers have handled the material, probably because I, too, am averse to the white man's standard of measuring the artistic or any other values of Negro life. These Negro writers have reached a high standard of excellence in their work of portraiture, and have been measured as measured by the white man's standard. Less than twenty years SEVENTEEN ago few whites and practically no Negro writers attended the Nellie Kirk. With the impetus gained in the past decade, who knows but what in ten news more Negro writers will have achieved the highest possible standard of efficiency in this Taking all in 'all', Locke and Gregory have given the public a collection of plays about Negro life that should be real and not just a mock of Negro but whites as well. All of these plays get over a magnificent idea, which is bound to be helpful to the Negro in more ways than can be at about time imagined in bringing about understanding between the races. Then, too, plays about Negro life that get on the stage as these have direct attention to the battle. The book does not help but prove beneficial in the long run. Locko and Gregory deserve a world of credit for the subtitle, "A Negro cuban in for a big-share of credit as publishers of the book." MNERS OF THE BOOK WILLIAM P. BAYLESS.

THE PRICE OF ABOVE APARTMENT $2,000 PAYABLE IN EASY INSTALLMENTS i - , Admission to this co-operative group will be reserved for men and women who require the environment of refined life. a “Lincoln Mansion” is designed to meet the exacting demands of the busy New Yorker of refined taste and moderate means. ce, Apartments of five and six rooms, if desired; can: now be chosen, but to delay in selection, might make it impossible to execute these changes in the plan, which can easliy be made at aie nineties ein ai eRe ch SO THAT THE PUBLIC MAY KNOW The benefits of co-operative ownership are many. The Tenant-owner assures himself of a permanent home —in this case of a home in a desirable location, which might be prohibitive to him without co-operative organi- zation. Moreover, he assures to himself a thoroughly ‘well-built home, carefully planned for economy of opera- tion and avoidance of repairs. He guarantees himself a residence in a building occupied by persons having. his own social standards and ideals. Financially he profits by investing his funds in a safe and sure proposition— one of which his family lawyer and banker will approve. Moreover, he profits in his monthly expenditures, be- cause, while the actual cost of running the Batiding is the same thet a landlord would have to pay, the savings, that result through the avoidance of unrented apart- ments, the expense of frequent repairs and redecoration due to change in tenancy, and the large profit that 4 landlord’ expecta, revert to the Tenant-owner in lowered “rents,” Further financial benefit arises from the a% amortization of the mortgage, which annually augments the value of the property, in addition to the increased value of tha real estate, due to the construction of a fine, modern bullding and steadily improving surround- ings.

It has been said that the Re- publican party was not giving him a square deal and that he should re- tafiate by: voting against it; that as long as he acted the part ofa political slave he would be treated as one. THIS ADVICE has its merits, for the Republican party has not been treating the Negro right. But what is the Negro to do? If the Democratic party lived up fo its professions of democracy, the Negro would do well to join it; but ever since Jefferson's day the Democrats have been getting farther and farther away from their professions. More and more the Na- tional Democratic party has been coming under the domination of the South. Grover Cleveland was the only great Democratic leader who did not cater to the South; Woodrow Wilson preached about the “new freedom” and it turned out to be the cated dlo-éeys’ and now comes Gov= ernor Smith with a Jackson day let= ter subscribing to every principle of -the Solid South. GOVERNOR SMITH’S letter advo- cates “the greatest degree of local self-government by the states,’ which is just what the Southern Democrats want. It means, in so many words, no interference with Iynching, no agitation against the nullification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, no objection to the South’s doing as it pleases with the Negro. It means that the divergence between the Northern and the Southern Democrats, which gave some hope to the Negro in local elections, is to be smoothed away in the interest of Democratic harmony. As is shown by the selection of Houston, Texas, for the National ‘Democratic convention, Democratic tarmony means Southern domina- fion. Any eye that can see a chance for justice to the Negro in the Na- tional Democratic party is either more or Jess than human. | A Great Project A BILL has been introduced Congress to erect a National M A BILL has been introduced in Congress to erect a National Me- lish, French and German songs and several Negro Spirituals, In. spite of his recent tndisposition, his voice seemed even hetter than ever, In tho German love songs, partleuwlar- ly, hls voice had all the charm and sweetness that won tustent favor when be first sang in America after his triumphant success abroad. En- sore after encore was necessary, un- Ul he had responded ofght times, But tt was his singing of the Spirituals over which the audience went wild, and “bravos" rang throngh the hall. -These numbers included: “Done Mate My Yow," “It's Me, O Lord," “Peter, Go Ring Dem Bells,” and “Camp Meetin'." At the’ finish of the program the andlence Kept {ts sent to a man, and began to call for Its fayorite Spirituals, Hayes sang severul and ended with “Crucifixion,” a Spirttuat in which he fs at bis beat, At the clove, hundred flocked to shake his hand backstage, When last soon he had his right hand in his pocket and was shaking with lls lett, the first having given out tinder the prossure. As one of bis admirers who was French Ovation s 8 udience “Goes Wild” Over Several Spirituals Special to The Amsteriam News) PARIS, Jan. 16—Roland Hayes, sted tenor, was given a tremendous vation here Inst week on the occa- on of his first apeparance for the sazon. His friends and admirers uned out In force and crowded alle Pleyel, the largest concert all in the city. The audferice, com. ed largely of Engilsh, Americans ad the social and musical elite of aris, gave hint an uproarious wel. ome at his appearance, perhaps slipsing any wudignce, in America, ‘His roportoire consisted of Eng- morial Building as a tribute to the Negro’s contribution to the achieve ments of America. This building, ii erected, will have a Hall of Fame, art and music rooms, statues, reading rooms, tablets, a museum and an auditorium. Every part of it will be used to depict and perpetuate some historical event in which the Negro has distinguished himself. THIS is the greatest cultural proj ect evér undertaken in behalf of the Negro. The place of the Negro in the ‘history of America has been sadly overlooked. His services in the Rev- olution, in the War of 1812, in the Civil War and in the Spanish-Amer- ican War are ignored in the school histories. Unless a Negro child has enlightened parents he ‘is likely to grow up in ignorance of his race’s achievements, though he wifl know all about the achievements of other races. APART from his military record the Negro has done a great deal for this country. His unpaid slave fabor laid the economic foundation of America; the cotton he picked went into Northern mills and enriched all sections of the country. He has al- ways heen the economic mainstay of the South, and, now his music is being hailed as America’s only origi- nal contribution to the cufture of the world. Itis fitting that a Negro Pan- theon should be erected in the na-. tional capital, and all Negroes should write to their Congressmen urging support of the bill. No Need to Worry THERE SEEMS to be a widespread fear among scientists that the human race is degenerating. Two weeks ago at Battle Creek, Michigan, hundreds of scientific authorities had a confer- ence to 2’scuss means of promoting longer life dnd general race im provement, to find some way to save man from the fate of other forms of life which have run their course and disappeared from the face of the earth, IT MAY SEEM unthinkable that the human race shoutd die out, but after all it is only the course of nature. Just as the dinosaurs and other ani- mals died off and gave way to man, so man may eventually die off and be succeeded by some higher form of life. Man may think that a higher form of being than himself is impos- sible, but probably the dinosaurs thought the same thing of them- selves. Each form of life thinks it is the last word in creation. If the theory of evolution is sound man is only a step in a stairway and not the highest step; there is no reason why evolution should stop with man. JUST as it was impossible for the dinosaurs to foresee the advent of man, so it is impossible ior man to foresee what higher type of being will come after him.

Menck- en's observation that the Negro had hardly risen to the first class order of merit in the domain of literature or art. The recent refusal of Professor B. G. Brawley of Shaw University to accept an award of $100 as second prize in his field recalls this promise to my mind. It is not entirely clear whether Mr. Brawley's refusal is based upon the fact that he did not receive the first prize or because the basis of com- petition was confined to Ne- groes, which of itselé made the whole a second class one by virtue of its limitations. ‘Do literary contests confined to Negro contestants presuppose a Wouble standard of excellence— one for Negroes and one for white people? Are not Negroes eligible to enter any Iterary or sclentific contest proposed for American scholats and thinkers? I can re- call that Prot. Isaac Fisher of Fisk Unfversity won the first prize of $500 offered by the Literary Di- gest for the best essay on “Tem- Derance.” While these racial con- tests serve the obviously useful purpose of stimulating timid and hesitant Negro talent, yet they should not lead to a self-satisfied complaceincy which would estop ambition for unrestricted compe- tition, ‘The Negro bus been 60 long deprived of an equal chance and a fair fteld that he has be- come Sutimidated in hie spirit; he withdraws from contests for fear of prejudice and discrimination.

There 1s no color line in the democracy of let- ters. 1 fudge it unworthy of Mr. Mencken, who hates the trite and the commonplace, to deem it worth while to mention such an opvious fact that the Negro has not as yet reached supreme and untversal excellence in creative art.
