J., has entered suit for divorce against his wife, the former Elizabeth Hemings of Boston, on a charge of abandonment. The Suit was entered at the Essex County Court House in Newark and sent from there to the State Court of Records in Trenton during the week of April 9 by Attorney William P. Allen of Newark. Dr. Alexander graduated from Lincoln University in 1899. From there he went to Boston College of Physicians and Surgeons, which he finished in 1903. He interned in the North End Episcary in Boston and married Miss Elizabeth Hemings in May, 1904. The couple moved to Orange and lived together until the latter part of 1924, when Mrs. Alexander is alleged to have left and returned to Boston, where she has remained and is at present living at the home of her brother. There were no children by the marriage. Dr. Alexander was for a number of years graduate manager of Lincoln's football team, was president of the National Negro Medical Association in 1927, once president of the North Jersey Medical Society and for two terms, 1921-1922, was Republican Assemblyman from Essex County. He is at present a candidate for national delegate-at-large to the Republican convention. The defendant has not yet been served with the papers to answer the suit and no definite time has been set for them to be served. THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News Allcged "Fire Bug" Nabbed by Janitor Assistant Fire Marshal Questions Man Placed Under Arrest "He took a shovelful of hot coals from the furnace and emptied some into the paper barrel and then scattered the rest about the floor and on the window sills of the basement and set the place on fire!" This was the account of the eccentric, alleged conduct of John Bright, 27, 19 East 134th street, believed by the police to be a dangerous fire bug, as related Thursday by William Henry, the janitor, and John Watts, a tenant, at 29 West 129th street, where a small incendiary fire was discovered a few days previously, at which time small heaps of newspapers, were lighted in the hallway on the ground floor. Henry and Watts are said to have caught Bright in the act of distributing the hot coals and they both pounced upon him and subdued him and had a few friends sit on him while they went to the street to summon Patrolman Tolty of the West 123d street station. Bright was arrested on a charge of arson. Henry and Watts then gave an account of the incident to Assistant Fire Marshal Martin Scott, who grilled Bright far into the night in an effort to determine if he is responsible for a series of small fires that have occurred in Harlem recently. Bright's wife, Marle, is said to live at the 129th street address and is separated from him. The theory was advanced that Bright's act might have been one of 'revenge against his wife. DRAWS REVOLVER IN GAMBLING DISPUTE AND SLAYS PLAYER During a card-game Friday night at the home of George Banks, 118 West 134th street, a dispute arose over money and Banks is said to have whipped out his revolver and shot and killed Frank Trent, 30, 200 East Ninety-eighth street, who was sitting in at the game. The name of Jesse Fultz, 238 West 144th street, is given as a witness to the murder. Banks escaped immediately after the shooting. Dr. Perry Cheney To Lose License Judge William Allen Refuses to Set Aside Verdict of Conviction After once more giving the matter "careful consideration," Judge William Allen, sitting in Part I of General, Sessions Court, handed down a decision denying the motion, of attorneys for Dr. Perry Chaney, who sought to have his conviction set aside and a new trial granted him, which they hoped would have resulted in his being assolved from the charge of felonious assault, for which he is now serving his sixth month in Sing Sing Prison. The denial of this motion will mean that Dr. Cheney will lose his license as a practicing physician in the State of New York. His only appeal from Judge Allen's decision would be a plea for reinstatement to the Board of Regents of New York State upon the expiration of his term of confinement. AGED WOMAN SUFFERS LOSS OF MEMORY Suffering from loss of memory a woman said to be Mrs. Any Eckles, 90, was picked up by the police at 1:30 a.m. m. Saturday at 126th street and Eighth avenue, and taken to Bellevue Hospital. She is in Ward 39. According to Mr. Weissner of the Missings Persons Bureau, Mrs. Eckles has a daughter named Minkle Parama and a son who are said to be residents of Manhattan. Mrs. Eckles is said to have been born a slave in the State of South Carolina and married at the age of fifteen. She worked for the family of Lazarus Morris, white.

About 8:15 p. m. Trent. Banks and his wife and others were intent upon their card game when Mrs. Banks "won three hands." Trent apparently didn't like the way it was done, for he scooped up all the money from the table and pocketed it, it is said. Banks sprang to his feet and began to curse and demanded that Trent "put that money down." Trent is said to have lunged at Banks to strike him, whereupon Banks drew his gun and fired three times. One bullet struck Trent in the abdomen, the one in the breast, and the third one "finished him" in the head. He dropped to the floor dead.

His condition is said to be not serious. Brown is charged with juvenile delinquency and when discharged from the hospital will be arraigned in Children's Court. leak. Banks dashed out of the door and escaped before he could be pursued. Several policemen rushed to the scene, where the sound of the shots had already attracted a large crowd. Dr. Ghee was called from Harlem Hospital and he pronounced Trent dead on arrival. Detectives Burns and Scott of the West 135th street station came on the scene and investigated. They obtained a good description of Banks, whom they hope to apprehend within a short time. Trent's body was taken to the morgue and Medical Examiner Norris was notified. A slightly different version of the immediate cause of the killing was told by a witness, who said that Trent owed Banks some money and that payment was demanded. An argument arose and Trent struck Banks a blow in the face with his fist, the witness said, and Banks shot him dead. Two of the bullets that struck Trent in the head and breast pierced his right eye and passed through his heart, a medical examination of his body disclosed. The youth's mother is janitress at 176-173 East 123d street, where he lives, and about 11 o'clock Sunday morning she sent him on an errand. The boy carried a suitcase. Instead of making his exit from 176 Brown crossed over and came out of the basement of 180, which is under a radio store. He was espied by the policeman, who approached him for questioning. The boy said he became frightened at the sudden presence of Patrolman Lloyd, dropped the suitcase and ran. This action aroused the policeman's suspicions and he chased the boy, who ducked into 176 and out into the back yard where he attempted to climb over the fence. The policeman fired once in the air and then directly at Brown, who dropped to the ground with a bullet in his back. Patrolman Lloyd commanded a taxicab and took the boy to Harlem Hospital under arrest. Examination of the suitcase carried by the boy revealed that it contained only an empty bottle, and an investigation of the stores proved that no burglary had been committed. The youth was then placed under arrest and charged with juvenile delinquency. Captain Farley of the East 126th street station and Deputy Police inspector Ryan are conducting an investigation. Motorcycle Injures Two Crossing Lenox Avenue Evelyn Mordecal, 27, 207 West 144th street, suffered a compound fracture of the right leg, two broken teeth and a laceration of the lip, while Raphel Phillips, 32, 302 West 152d street, sustained a concussion of the brain, when both of them were struck and knocked down Friday night at 143d street and Lenox avenue, by a motorcycle driven by Charles Johnson, 114 Woodworth avenue, Yonkers, N.-Y. Both, were removed to Harlem Hospital for treatment by Dr. Salerino and Phillips was able to leave for home. The woman's condition at press time was reported as not serious. EXTRA REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION WHEREVER Possible Trade With Stores in Harlem: That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees. Bishop P. A. Wallace of Brooklyn Gives Detailed Account of Camden Accident, Which Cost One Man His Life and Dealt Injury to Scores of Others CAMDEN, N. J., April 23.—Death and disaster, horror and pain featured in the sudden closing of the New Jersey annual conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church when the wooden balcony, containing nearly 500 people, collapsed in the Wesley A. M. E. Church, Sycamore and Ann streets, where the conference was to close within twenty minutes Sunday night. George Brooks, 34. Keyport delegate, was killed outright, and scores were injured. A wild panic suddenly seized the 1,600 people that crowded the edifice to overflowing and a mad dash was made for every available exit. About 100 ministers were present, including Bishop P. A. Wallace of New York, who presided, but none of the ministers was injured. Bishop Wallace and his aids sought to calm the terror-stricken crowd, who by this time were afraid that the entire building might fall upon them. William T. Pennyfeather Released in $1,500 Bail for Further Hearing William T. Pennyfeathers, 17, 36 West 129th street, "the kid" who is said to have shot Wilbur Cohen, 25, bantamweight pig man. In the back about a month ago and afterwards gave himself up to the police in the District Attorney's office, was arraigned on a charge of felonious assault before Magistrate Dodge in Harlem Court Friday and was released under $1,500 bond to appear for a further hearing on May 4. Cohen came to court limping. He told the magistrate that he actually saw Pennyfeathers with a gun in his hand at the time of the shooting. When questioned by a reporter for The Amsterdam News, Pennyfeathers declined very positively to make any statements and seemed to resent being asked his motive for the assault of which he is accused. Cohen lives at 116 West 117th street. Caused Woman to Fall Out of Window Alexander Farley, 37, 2676 Eighth avenue, was sentenced to the Workhouse for four months by Magistrate Vitale in Harlem Court for attempting to assault Mrs. Ella Johnson, 221 West 141st street, causing her to fall out of the window of her home. Mrs. Johnson told the Magistrate that Farley, who was under the influence of liquor, came to her home and threatened to kill her. He chased her through the apartment and she locked herself in the bedroom. When Farley threatened to break open the door Mrs. Johnson grabbed up a bed sheet which she used as a rope and tried to lower herself out of the window. The sheet broke and she fell to the yard from the second floor window, sustaining injuries about her head and body. While the people's screams of pain and fright sent a chill up and down the spine and the whildest disorder continued, firemen and police arrived to begin rescue work. Buses and private automobiles were pressed into service to remove the injured to hospitals, and it was not until 2 o'clock Monday morning that the work was finished. "Never Saw Such a Sight" "Never in all my life have I seen anything like it," said Bishop Wallace, who was an eye-witness to the catastrophe, "and as long as I live I hope I never see it again." The Bishop gave a detailed account of the affair to a reporter of The Amsterdam News in New York City, Monday. He stated that the sermon had been preached and that within 20 minutes the people would be dismissed. "While I was standing on the rostrum reading my announcements I heard a crackling sound and looking under the balcony saw the center pillar sagging. The people under the balcony left their seats and rushed out from beneath it, shouting warnings as they ran. "Then the center pillar bent askew and sank through the floor and the balcony crashed down into those on the main floor. The people, over 200 of them, fell out of the balcony and tumbled pill moll upon others in the audience. Many Eascape by Miracle "It it was indeed a miracle that many were not killed and a greater number injured. Several people fell from the balcony into my arms and I caught them. In fact, part of the balcony crushed at my very feet. The sight was simply awful. There were more people injured in the stampede than there were by (Continued on Page 2) CORRECTIONS In an interview last week with Dr. E. W.

DETECTIVE ARRESTS HIS ASSAILANT Identifies Prisoner as One of Pair Who Shot Him Three Months Ago With Bullet Wounds in Side and Hip, Detective Moore Returned Fire, Making Unforgettable Mark on Assailant's Face When Detective Harold Moore of the West 100th street police station was shot down by bandits three months ago, he retained consciousness just long enough to jerk his revolver from his pocket and fire a single shot at the two men who were blazing away at him. Moore fired that shot as he was lying on the sidewalk in front of a pawnshop at No. 800 Columbus avenue, with one bullet in his side and another in his hip. Just before he lapsed into unconsciousness he saw one of the thugs jerk his head backwards and a streak of red appear on his face. He knew, then, that his single shot had taken effect. TWO When help came the bandits had fled and moore was at the point of death. Rushed to Knickelbocker Hospital, he was saved by speedy medical attention. For weeks after he was discharged from the hospital Moore hunted for the bandits. "I'll know one of them, at least," he told his colleagues. "I put my mark on him." After weeks of searching had proved futile, Moore walked into Harlem Court. There, in the prisoner's pen, he saw a man with a thin scar running from his lower cheek up towards his ear—a scar that might have been made by a bullet fired close to the ground and pointing upwards. Moore walked over to the prisoner, Edward Gardner, 22, of No. 305 West 127th street, who was about to be arraigned on a charge of extortion. "Do you know me?" the detective asked. The prisoner shook his head. The detective added: "Well, I'm the man you shot three months ago in front of that pawnshop on Columbus avenue. Remember me now?" The startled prisoner stammered out a bewildered confession. Yes, he remembered that night, and the pawnshop and the shots. But how, he wanted to know, did Moore recognize him. Gardner, with a colored man, Michael Baylor, 31, 79 West 118th street, had been arrested three days previous to the court scene. It was charged they approached a maid named Annabelle Delk, employed at 800 Riverside drive, represented themselves as detectives, and threatened to arrest her on a serious charge unless she gave them money. She told police that she gave the pair $10 but, becoming suspicious, she called Patrolman Vienot of the West 135th street station, who arrested the pair. After Moore had told his strange story to Magistrate Dodge, the case was postponed until Friday, the two prisoners being held without bail. Prior to that time, Detective Moore said, he will go before the Grand Jury to present evidence warranting the indictment of Gardner on the shooting charge. The colored man, Baylor, has not been implicated in the shooting of the detective. Gardner, in his confession, said that following the shooting he was taken in an automobile to Plainfield, N. J., where he was confined to a hospital for five weeks. He declined to identify the man who was with him on the night of the shooting. Moore said that, on the night he was shot, he was attracted to the two men by their suspicious actions as they loitered in front of the pawnshop. His suspicions were confirmed when, as he approached to question them, both drew revolvers and opened fire. When again arraigned, Friday, be- fore Magistrate Dodge, Gardner and Baylor were held without ball for the Grand Jury. DR. DU BOIS TO CLOSE "BIG MEETING" SEASON Dr. W. E. DuBols, editor of The Crisis, and one of the most noted scholars of the country, will close the Sunday afternoon "Big Meetings" of the local branch of the Young Men's Christian Association 181 West 135th street, on Sunday, April 29, at 4 p. m.

Balcony Falls Harlem Nurses (Continued from Page 1) the falling balcony. Fortunately there were very few children in the church, but many of these were hurt. "Quite a number of women lost various amounts of money from $200 down. They left their coats, purses and everything they carried. The wife of one of the ministers was injured also." The man who met his death was trapped in a seat right under the part of the balcony that fell, it is said. Obviously, the entire balcony structure did not tumble down, but only part of it. Further Reports Further information from other witnesses to the crash revealed a more graphic picture of the disaster. Albert Flourney, a member of the church, after describing how the isles were crowded, both on the ground floor and in the balcony, said that he heard a cracking noise and a woman screamed "Fire!" Flourney looked toward the southwest section of the church and pandemonium broke loose. The overloaded balcony totered and a crowd of people rushed from beneath it. Then it fell with a crash over the heads of a few hundred more who were still beneath it. As it fell slantwise it left an aperture between the outer edge of it and the church wall. A few were injured here and all escape was cut off. The whole church trembled as if an earthquake had struck it and this crash sounded like an explosion. The Rev. D. Grectian Donova of Atlantic City said: "The pulpit swayed like a tree in the wind. It seemed as though the whole church was suddenly falling inward. Men, women and children tumbled down together from the balcony onto the heads of those seated in the center of the auditorium." Some of those in the balcony dived head foremost to the opposite side of the church. Benjamin Horner, a visiting churchman from Sommerville, said he fell upon another man, who was knocked unconscious under the impact. Mrs. Catherine Martin, 28, of South Ninth street, was knocked down by the falling balcony and trampled upon by the terrified people. Two men carried her from the building. One man was severely cut when he broke a window and teaped 20 feet to the ground. Several others escaped in like manner, but were unhurt. By clinging to the window sills, several of those in the balcony saved themselves from falling with it. Another man hung suspended on a rafter. Brooks, the man who was killed, was seated in a pew under the rear balcony and, just as he rose to join the crowd in its attempt to reach safety, the falling debris plumed him against the end of the pew and his back was broken. He died on the way to the hospital. The Rev. B. C. Robeson of Paterson, who was slight, injured when knocked against a pew in the terrific crush, probably saved many lives by remaining calm and blocking a mad rush for a small door. He also administered first aid to the injured who were carried out to the sidewalk. Auto Crashea With Victims While driving a number of the injured to Cooper Hospital, the machine of James Young of Atlantic City was overturned at Eighth and Walnut streets in a crush with another automobile. Young and John Nordozl, white, driver of the other motor car, were injured and the occupants of Young's car were badly shaken up. Mr. Flourney, John Bracken, the Rev. M. Donova, Bishop Wallace, George W. Boyer, and Patrolman Henry Hall, who sent in the first alarm for rescuers, were among those prominent in the heroic rescue work. All told, about fifty persons were injured and many others suffered minor bruises and shock. Investigation Started Mayor Wintlefield S. Price today ordered a rigid investigation into the falling of the church balcony. Last December he ordered a city-wide inspection of all gathering places in order to alert such a disaster. It is not known whether Wesley Church was inspected in December or not, as Commissioner Rhone could not be reached. The Rev. George 16, Ferris, former pastor of the church, was appointed to a church in Hammamshi, and the Rev. Donova suscode him as pastor of Wesley. The reading of the assignment was completed by Bishop Wallace at the home of the Rev, Mr. Ferris, following the church crash.

Three men were killed, one is severely injured and several others cut and bruised as the result of a rock cavehit, possibly caused by a dynamite blast a few minutes earlier in the excavation for the new subway at Broadway and 174th street last Wednesday night. Harry Evans, 27, 1643 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, and Timothy Vaughn, 20, 153 West 139th street, and George Soonakli, 20, 264 Seventh street, Jersey City, were killed. Roosevelt Peel, 28, white, 328 East 122d street, is in Columbus Hospital with internal injuries. Four others were treated for bruises or lacerations but were not kept at the hospital. The rock slide came without the slightest warning, survivors said. The blast, set off shortly after 9 o'clock, had preceded it ten minutes or more. Workmen went into the tunnel after the blast and tested the ceiling, finding it apparently perfect. Without warning, however, a large boulder fell from the ceiling a few minutes later, and a shower of smaller stones and debris followed instantly. TION?

Woodson, Editor of the Journal of Negro History, Speaks Carter G. Woodson, Editor of the Journal of Negro History, Speaks "Black Belts" in South Mean No Drainage or Sewerage, Disease, Segregation and Death—Cites Situation of American Indian "Segregation is the next step to extermination!" This was the ominous warning to the Negro of Carter G. Woodson, noted editor of the Journal of Negro History, who addressed the men's "Big Meeting" Sunday afternoon at the West 135th Street Branch Y, M. C. A. "Believe it or not, there are white men in this country who are planning to exterminate the Negro just the same as they have nearly exterminated the American Indian. White men are also planning to exterminate the black people of Africa and make it a white man's country. In Africa they are driving the black people out of the cities and putting them to work in the mines. White men have carried their venereal diseases to Africa and in the black colonies over there the natives are dying like flies." Mr. Woodson spoke of the South, where the Negro is segregated into "black belts," which have no drainage, sewage, paved streets or sanitation, and named Miami, Fla., as a chief example. In time, he says, disease will sweep the Negro center and kill them off. "In time your death rate will exceed your birth rate, all as the result of segregation" he emphasized. He cited instances of the white man's segregation of the American Indian on reservations and of providing the Indians with blankets laden with the germs of smallpox. The speaker said that the Negro has been educated in the wrong direction and for 300 years has been taught that he is inferior. The result has been that the Negro feels and believes that he is inferior and often asks to be segregated for this reason, he said. While our forfeiters fought segregation, the present generation compromises and yields to its influence, he declared. Science has proven that there is absolutely no basis for the belief that the Negro is any closer to the anthropoid ape than the white man, whose straight hair, thin "monkey lips" and hairy body might easily swing the evidence on his own side he stated. Mr. Woodson said, in substance, that he observed infinitely more beauty in the color and features of his owl than could ever be found in the white race. "It used to be religiously taught that all white people were pretty and that all colored people were ugly." The noted historian said that at the close of the Civil War the achievements of great Negro men were read about, discussed and exploited in the homes of the Negro everywhere, whereas today the Negro is grossly ignorant (almost 30 per cent) of the accomplishments of their own brilliant men and women. He spoke of hearing an otherwise cultured and intelligent Negro woman, upon seeing the picture of Frederick Douglass hanging on the wall in the home of a friend, ask: "Is that your grandfather?" Mr. Woodson declared: "The propaganda effort in education is to control the Negro's thoughts, for if you can control a man's thoughts you can control his actions. But only one man in every thousand is 'guilty' of thinking. The Negro is asleep, but he had better wake up and begin to think or God only knows what will become of him." The Negro should educate himself concerning his own history, said the famous editor, and, inspired by the record of the past, he should go forward to the achievements of the future. Mr. Woodson said he did not advise the Negro's complete withdrawal of interest in the area he came from, but every step of knowledge and experience he gets from the whites and adapt them to his own racial needs. ```markdown ``` Above all, the Negro should have a definite program and he proceeded to outline one: First, there should be at least one Negro newspaper read in every home and less time should be spent in reading the white dailies. Second, everyone should subscribe to at least one Negro magazine, Third, Negroes should read more of their own poetry and books by their own authors. Drama of Negroes by Negroes should be encouraged and "Little Theatre" movements should be started toward accomplishing this, he said. He spoke of Mollere as an outstanding example of interpreting the consciousness of his own people, and that Negro writers should likewise. Fourth, Negroes should improve their economic condition by patronizing each other in business and by organizing corporations and chain stores. In short, Negroes should become united in every phase of living, he said, and with confidence in himself, confidence in God, possession of wisdom and the ability to make things come true the things change the minds of the whites in their behalf and work out their own salvation with a new program. URBAN LEAGUE REPORTS UNEMPLOYMENT LESS The National Urban League, through its Department of Industrial Relations, of which T. Arnold Hill is director, reports that while unemployment is still abnormal the month of March witnessed the beginning of a gradual change for the better in the general unemployment situation which had been said to be the worst since 1921. Cleveland and Detroit show considerable gain. The most outstanding achievement came from Chicago, where the South Center Department Store has provided employment for thirty-five or forty Negro men and women out of a total force of one hundred. Negroes are occupying positions as assistant to the manager and assistant window trimmer. The same blank, fixed expression which has characterized James Weekly, 44, 192 West 134th street, since he was arrested last month for bigamy did not change one oota as he was being sentenced to the sentencing by Judge Allen in Part 1 of General Session Friday morning. The crime is probably by imprisonment of not less than six months or more than three years. The cause of its present woes is Irene Patton, his legal wife, now residing at the 13th street address, who successfully proved to the court that she was married to Weekly on June 13, 1925, in Detroit, Mich. She told probation officers that she and her husband became estranged about November, 1927, at which time she went to live with relatives. Weekly then met and married Lilly Robinson, 23, who makes her home on West, 134th Street. Lilly did not go to live with Weekly, however, as her bigmist husband told her that he wanted to find more suitable quarters and thought it best for her to remain where she was living. Last month Weekly, who was a former employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., met Irena and urged her to return to him. She agreed to this proposal and it was in this manner that she met Lally when the latter went to visit Weekly. During the course of their conversation the secret came out, and the subsequent arrest, trial and conviction of the bigamist followed. Five Nest Club Bandits Convicted Quintet, Including Woman, to Be Sentenced on May 8 May 8 The five bold bandits who terrorized night club patrons last month when they shot up and robbed the Nest Club Cabaret, 169 West 133d street, and the Sheep Club, 2168 Seventh avenue, were found guilty of robbery in the first degree by a jury which rendered its decision Wednesday evening in the case of the sheep club and Thursday evening in the case of the Nest Club, before Judge Donahan in Part III of General Sessions Court.

Attorney Louis A. Lavelle, 200 West 135th street, who represented the defendants, made a brilliant plan to the jury Wednesday evening at the conclusion of a lengthy hearing, but the evidence was against the defendants. Sentences will be imposed on the five defendants on May 8 in Part IV. Witnesses who testified against the defendants were: James Peterson, 574 St. Nicholas avenue; Stanley Martin, 2168 Seventh avenue; Willis McLean, 273 West 122d street; and John Green, 214 West Sixty-third street.

Pastor of Lafayette Presbyterian Church in Jersey City Dismissed Pastor of Lafayette Presbyterian Church in Jersey City Dismissed The dismissal of the Rev. William A. Byrd as pastor of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church, Summit avenue, Jersey City, ended a church rift of long standing. The rift started about two years ago and reached the point of an open split. The Rev. Mr. Byrd was officially removed as pastor of the church at a meeting of the Presbytery held in Paterson on Tuesday evening, April 17. The Rev. Dr. Graten, moderator of this district of the Presbytery, was in charge, and after a vote the pulpit of the church was declared open on June 1. The principal events leading up to the actual dismissal are as follows: 1. It is alleged that the Rev. Byrd was to read his resignation to the congregation on the fourth Sunday in February, in accordance with the instructions of the Presbytery. This was not done. books, one of which struck Dr. Graten in the side and another struck one of the elders, it is said. Police had been stationed outside and were called to object the group, but upon learning who they were and their mission, the policeman refused to carry out the wishes of part of the congregation. 4. On Monday evening, April 16, a meeting was held at the Jersey City church, under the auspices of the Presbytery. The right of the moderator to open the meeting before the packed house was contested, but the presence of the police prevented any 2. Easter Sunday a group from the Presbytery came to the regular morning service of this church to read a notice regarding a meeting to be held at the church on Monday evening, April 16. The congregation raised such a turnoff that the notice was not heard above the din. Audible references to the Presbytery as "Palefaces" were made. 3. Sunday morning, April 15, the group from the Presbytery attended the morning service reinforced by the moderator, the Rev. Dr. Gruten. The group was blissed. As the men were about to ascend the pulpit, it is reported that several of the Byrd faction pushed up to him as if to strike him.

The Rev. Clayton A. Powell, pastor, presided. Flashes of wisdom, embellished with curious phrases, were driven home on the tide of emotion. Mr. Morris dis-reeved with the possimistic view that all the good people are dead and said that people as good as those who over lived in the history of the world are with us today. "The man who sees nothing but evil in everyone does so because that man himself is full of evil." "Men cannot stand still; they either go forward or go backward. Because a thing is old is no proof that it is right. 'Woe unto those who are at ease in Zion' would mean in modern language, "No parking here," were some of his pithy injunctions.

BestAmusementPages in Greater New York Big Theatrical War Presaged by Return of Well-Known Manager Dramatic Sketches Have Won Place in Presentation Here and Raymond Snyder Is Said to Be Seriously Contemplating Reviving the Drama SEEK LAFAYETTE PLAYERS' RETURN Salacious Stuff and Thinly Veiled Suggestive Jokes Will Be Driven From Local Stage if Plans of Former Lincoln Theatre Manager Go Through as Planned While little jackasses hanging on the outer fringe of Negro journalists are braying in the forest of ignorance and yelping like wounded wolves caught in the sheepfold when they are hit, many things are happening in the world of the theatre of which they are oblivious. Strong language the reader will most likely remark, but strong language must be used at times to designate the paranoids as it has been used in the Senate, the House of Congress, in Parliament, and even at the Peace Table. The Amsterdam News took a decided stand in the case of the Negro Motion Pleturo Operators' fighting for manhood rights and a chance to earn a fair share of wages, the same as the whites doing the same work. The Amsterdam News has never deviated from a stand consistently maintained for something better in the Negro theatre in Harlem, and the good results are noted in at least two houses in the community. The owners of these houses show no hesitancy in stating that they have lost nothing by the experiment, and at one house no attempt is made to hide the enthusiasm marking the presentation of dramatic players during the past few weeks. At the Lincoln Theatre this week the Ida Anderson Players enter their ninth week in their presentation of "Within the Law." And now comes a persistent rumor, which apparently had some basis in fact when it was taken up by one of the most powerful and reliable dailies in Greater New York. That rumor is to the effect that Raymond Snyder, formerly manager of the Lincoln Theatre, will take over a new house to be constructed on the corner of 127th street and Seventh avenue. SIX If this project goes through it will throw this part of the city into a bitter theatrical war which is presaged by a stronger runaway audience than the old attempt to assemble all the old Lafayette Dramatic Players available and present not only the drama written by whites and acted by Negroes, but dramas written by Negroes and acted by Negroes. New talent will also be called in to novelette for the role of Robert Kevy called in the talent never before seen on the stage in Harlem and for years found success until the coming of those who thought that "Mamie, the Singer Sewing Machine Girl," should first arise as a star of "The Trial." "Within the Law" and a host of other sterling dramas. Readers of this paper are also reminded that even the Lafayette Theatre made a half-hearted attempt in getting in line with the trend of the show, presented at "Midnight" performances for an entire week, and Kirkpatrick and Bowman, preceded by Freck and Thompson, along with revues for two weeks. And as these lines are being written it is also rumored that something along dramatic lines will again be seen at this time next possibly on a larger scale in the near future. The Amsterdam News has never sought to dictate the policy of any theatre, but when its representatives note after a careful survey and more careful observation that a more ordinary stage which at an earlier day saw the celebrities of the world and the theatre come forth in quest of knowledge on the sturds of the Negro in the theaters in his own neighborhood, it was time to look with alarm to the return to the sturds of the 1820s, described as "a good place to keep away from" by "George Washington Bullion," brought to us in the original by S. H. Dudley in the Smart Set Company long years before S. Tutt Whitney brought us the same sturds of the 1820s, changed its name from the Southern Smart Set Company to the Smarter Set Company. Those were the days before there were "colored theatres" in Harlem—days before the coming of those revue producers who insist upon inflicting their presence in theaters by press upon those willing to listen their knowledge of things theatrical in Greater New York twenty-five and thirty years ago. These gentlemen blatantly roar of shows in those days which, in the truth were never heard very loudly and only heard about through the performers of those days. "George Washington Bullion," slated to engage in a duel, was asked what last request he had to make in the event of his opponent's death, which he replied mist a shout of uprighteous laughter in white theatres: "Tell my wife to keep away from 135th street!" If it is true that Mr. Snyder's heroism as manager of the new theatre will lead to a battle among theatre owners and managers on the basis outlined in paragraphs above, it will not do us any harm. Even at a certain theatre it can be noticed with what apathy can be expressed with an accompanied by, the enthusiastic wrigles of supporting choruses, are received by the audiences, it 1917 1929 FIRST ORGANDIE DRESS DANCE GIVEN BY MANHATTAN TEMPLE NO. 93, I.

Lewis, 28 W., 132d St. (Harlem 5449) MRS, LELA S. KELLAR, Chairman of Entertainment Committees must have been rather disconcerting to one little lady billed as the brightest luminary in a drammant of "stars" in what they called artistic dancing in go-go dancers after daylight and after night and before the stage without so much as a "cat call" from the gallery. Dumb as the yokels are they recognized without any effort that the only claim to artistic ability the lady has is that she was with any member of the chorus could have put on with as much effect. The revue form of entertainment has been worked to death by too much sameness. Leonard Harper and Clarence Robinson are the only two men in the game presenting something a little different, and they stand so high above the others that even these two are forced at times to use so-called comedians that fail miserably to fit into the schemes of their artistic attempts. levies can be split to fit in with dramatic playlets, for what, after all is said and done, constitute the present day tabloid as presented by time and a half out of ten "producer" things more than the average yokel that progresses than a week. Even so-called musical comedies of the present day with an attempt of the thread of a story running throughout, are nothing but enlarged tabs built on the foundation of the time-worn and moss-grown jokes. For the edification of readers seeking their enterance elsewhere than in Harper's paper, these are outlined in a revue as presented in his lem by almost every producer, and to verify it readers are asked to retain copies and check up. The return of Raymond Snyder to Harlem in September, if recent rumors are true, will perhaps usher us into a new era, seeing the most encouraging arm in color and the sooner the better. Perhaps we will even return to those entertaining musical comedies such as Whitney and Tutt produced which found success in those parts, even though the nightger Southland. Such movies give actors playing the theaters an opportunity of becoming acquainted with their families instead of spending the better part of their lives running to the theaters to put on three shows, which they will appear in "midnight shows" which in variably start between 1:30 and 2:00 clock in the morning. Cullen Wedding Gown to Be Shown at Fashion Show the wedding gown of Mrs. N. Yolande Du Bois Cullen, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. E. B. Du Bois, will be exhibited in the Fashion Show Promenade to be given by the Utopla Neighborhood Club at Manhattan Casino Friday evening, April 27. The bridesmalls' dresses will be worn by dresses Margaret and Anna Welmion, Ruth McCook and Robert Bosley. Miss Marie Macdonell will be the center figure in the presentation of a Shahrzad tale of the Arabian nights, with Humberto Pereira of Greenwich Village as the cruel master. This presentation of American gowns in an Arabian night's setting promises to be an innovation of unusual beauty. POWERS PASSES AWAY The news of the death of Ollie Powers in Chicago came as a great shock to his many friends in this city. Powers died after an operation. Cook County Hospital on Saturday, April 11, is here born Louisville, Ky., and appeared with the Georgia Minstrels for quite some time. Possessing a sweet tenor voice, he came to this city with Shelton Brooks and Cecilia of the close of which he filled many devil dates in the East, and the team of Brooks and Powers became well known. His wife had hoped to establish a home of their own in this city years ago but Powers returned West. He also left a four-year-old child. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1928 Our Performers in Europe Our Performers in Europe Our Quarterly Letter From Alberta News of London By Ivan H. Brownling G. H. Elliott, the ever popular chocolate-colored American heiress in town with American Empire, with Norman Long and his smile, Cornelia and Eddie, and Hargreaves and Dodd, amongst others. Noble Sissie has just composed yet another new song called "Limehouse Rose," which he is featuring in his act with enormous success. It is a song of Limehouse district with great rhythm and lyrics, a in "Limehouse Blues." "Brown Bird's" Called Spectacular. One of the brightest and most spectacular revues seen at the South London Theatre for some time was "Brown Bird's" presented by Will Garland. The scenery and costumes were excellent, and the comedy, dancing and singing of a very high and entertaining nature, was a delight. The band made the house rock with laughter. They are two of the most colored comics I have seen. Garland's rotundity and joyful face soon put the audience in a jolly mood, and Eddie's clever antics and fun-making made a hit, Dorothy Venton, Etan-cropped and dainty, helped with good singing and dancing. Jim and Jack shared the act of steering dancing at its highest perfection, and the character studies, Grundy and Panham more dancing, and Hilda Brown some delightful singing and so did Stadle Doug—C. P. in Encore. Hunter Still Going Over Hik. "Black Birds," presented by T. Elder Hearn, played to capacity at the Pence Empire here this week. Built chiefly on American lines, with good scenery and unique dressing, it is out of reach of the public. The trains several good sketches, which include "The George Washington Hoorn, "The Hunted Castle," and "Mose on the Phone." The company is well han- dled by Clinton Taylor and Eddie Hunter. They have an abundance of material at their disposal, and had no difficulty in keeping the house in a merry mood. Eva Sherman, who has moved to Chicago, is a big asset to the show. Johnny Nilc came in for a special round of applause for his舞姿特效, and the audience had further opportunities for appreciating his talent in several other scenes. Robert Williams is also another trump card (the Ace) in the show. The vocal honors go to Anita Edwards, Flosse Pence and Norman Ackwood, who can play the piano. George Minott, Hort Russell and Lee Walker all fill their parts well, and the girls have plenty of "kick" in them. —P. A. B. in Encore. Slastic Continues to Score: (From the Blirkhead Advertiser) LIVERPOOL, Eng.—Unless one has an intimate and merely a generous knowledge of each turn, there must be an intriguing speculative interest in the nature of each turn, much depends upon the blending of entertaining qualities. Even when every precaution has been taken in the way of discrimination there is always an element of anxiety as to the all-round appeal of the bill until it is put to the test. The bill is often quickly, the cedar of that first performance gives intense satisfaction to those responsible for the arrangement of the bill, and after the first house on Monday night, M. D. J. Clarke and his manager, Mr. B. B. Clarke, were probably acquiring themselves in a good week's business, for the program, from beginning to end, provided a continuity of really excellent vaudeville fare. At the risk of missing something good, the audience had performance to concentrate on the program and incidental pleasures of an evening out. Noble Sissie heads the bill—has been before—but, whether memory played pranks or what, his work seemed to excel his previous efforts. Mutual confidence exists between Sissie and his friend, the artist of the colored vocalist, this is a large and contributing factor to the delightful nature of the turn. With an inspired sympathy with varying phases of his numbers and sympathy conveyed in the interpretation, Noble Sissie sang "Broken Hearted" and "Blue Heaven" to the keen enjoyment of the audience, and he showed his versatility by presenting a dramatic and expressive monologue dealing with "No Man's Land." Sissie turn was an artistic treat and Miller had no easy task to follow. Your letter came a few days ago. Thanks very much for my same. I want to also thank you for sending the Amsterdam News each week, as I do enjoy reading it. I am stopping, with Mr. John Payne, a London favorite, Mr. Payne is a noted baritone and was planning to give a concert May 10th at Grotrian Hall, but was asked by Sir Alfred Burt, Mr. Hammerstein and the management of "Show Bout" to postpone News of Paris By A. F. Rosemund Habib Bengla, the celebrated Negro actor, is co-starring with Charlotte Lyses in "Gutlibi" at the Theatre de la Madeleine. The work is in three acts, with a prologue. The critics have (long ago) proclaimed one of the greatest actors in Europe. Kent and Bernice (Mr. and Mrs. Kent), variety dancers and versatile entertainers of New York, have recently arrived here. They were formerly with the "Raring to Go" company. We heard the premiers of Turandot the other night. Since the movies have invaded the field of the spoken drama and opera for material, we think there will be many offers for the screen rights. It would make one of the most gorgeous spectacles yet filmed. Renee Adoree would make a good Turandot and Ramon Novarro would be at home as the Persian prince. Cecil Do Mille would be our choice as director. Eddie Burks, the eccentric dancer, begins an engagement at the Empire Music Hall on April 5th. (Jack Hylton's Hand are the headliners.) He recently filled successful engagements in Nice, France, and New York and is one of the stars at this year's Bal du Couture at the opera house and has been the featured attraction at the Palermo Zelll (after Buddy Glimore left for south America) and Chez Jane Augert (formerly Chez Josephine Baker). Monsieur and Madame Charles Bosw announce the marriage of their daughter Lacoume to Mr. Robby Jones. The marriage was solemnized on March 24th, "Bobby," who is well known in Pittsburgh and New York, is the director of the "Cracker Jack" (orchestra) and was the comedian of the first New York Symphony Orchestra. Zelll's opened on April 11th, after having been closed for three months, "Joe" Zelll, the owner of the cabaret and a friend and pal of all the musicians, took a much needed rest at St. Mortilla's name orchestra will furnish the music. A small party of friends, including the writer, witnessed the Moulin Rouge Revue from back stage, as the guests of Johnny Hudgins. The genial comedian showed us how the scenery and curtains are worked by a small army of stage hands. He introduced us to diorama and stage design and the members of the ballet. During the entrée the Hudgins' valet served refreshments in the cozy dressing room. R. Percival Parham, the Boston organist and singer, is now in Paris. He expects to study piano and voice here. Seth Weeks' Orchestra played for the McCarne afternoon reception given by the Baron and Baroness Robert Rothchild in their magnificent mansion in the Avenue Marigny. Glover Compton, the popular Chicago pianist, successfully underwent a minor operation at the American Hospital. He is now enjoying good health and is still the master of all billiard play. Boland Hayes, the world renowned tenor, has returned from his tour of Russia, where he was acclaimed by gross and public as one of the greatest artists who have visited that great country. John B. Forrester, composer and arranger, has published a new waits and an Oriental Coquet called "Oriental Love." Copies will be sent to America soon. The "New Yorkers," the symphonic jazz orchestra at the Embassy Club, are going to the aristocratic resort "Le Toquet" for a ten-day vacation engagement. They will return to the Embassy Club and remain until June. They are booked for the full summer season at Le Toquet. The wedding of Mile, Rene Bouquet and Henry George Walton was celebrated on March 27. An elaborate banquet was given at Chez Florence. Among the guests were a number of the musical celebrities, friends and relatives of the tenor, Waltown. A concert of the International Five, most famous entertainers in Europe. his concert to train the singing chorus of the show and to maintain the high standard of singing while the show runs. The Se. Majestic arrived yesterday with the twelve colored dancing girls that are to open in "Show Bowl" and, to my great surprise, little Viola Coulom and Norma Davis were among them. They arrived in London about 3:30 p.m., called me about 5:10 and were at my home about 5:30. Goe, but it was lovely to see and talk with some one from home. Recordless of how well we performed, she has a desire to be back home at some time or to see, some one from home. London is waiting with outstretched arms to welcome "Paul Roberson." The English people idolize him. His new record "I'm gonna Tell God All My Words" gets Home. is selling so fast one has to positively stand in line to get it. Miss Marion Anderson, the noted contralto of Philadelphia, who is studying here in London, is also stopping with Payne. She had, as you know, a beautiful voice, but you should hear her now. When she is heard in concert she is known among the world's greatest contenders. Noble Hidele is hitting on all six. He has some beautiful songs on the market, namely, "Nebraska" and "Guilding Me. Back Homs." The Three Edibles are booked solid till December, 1929. They are certainly favorites. Williams and Taylor are with the new edition of "Blackbird" and are scoring a big success. In the days ago, while standing in front of the Albany chatting with Tim lay, when a familiar voice said; "fido- le, Alberta." When I looked around it was Eddie Hunter. Well, you know without my saying it, I felt like I was right in New York. Thy and I asked poor Eddie a thousand questions about home. He is making quite a hit in "blackbirds" and said he liked London, with its fogs and rain. Well, Mr. Dougherty, I must say good-bye for this time. Please let me hear from you when you have time.

COLORED AND WHITE PERRY in The Year's Biggest Musical Comedy AT THE FAYETT Lewis Had No Trouble Winning TO THE intelligent reader of these columns it must have been very evident that Theophilus Lewis won hands down from Salem Tutt Whitney, in what eventually turned out to be a controversy over what Mr. Lewis so aptly called "The Negro Actor's Deficit," in an illuminating article in "Ebony and Topaz," a publication put out by Opportunity Magazine. It is so easy to confirm the statements made by Mr. Lewis we are not at all surprised that during the course of the discussion we have not received one letter from the theatrical world in defense of their champion, while, on the other hand, we have received several letters praising Mr. Lewis. The other night the writer had occasion to pay a visit to the Putnam Theatre in Brooklyn and saw the book of history, in which the achievements (?) of the Negro in those theatres wherein he has carried on for the past quarter of a century was brought forth and a page taken therefrom. It was the most inane and child-like attempt at entertainment it has been our misfortune to witness in many years. In one section we saw four young ladies trying to make up one section of the evening as a chorus, while in the other four others tried to recall Hawaiian days in the theatre, wherein the grass skirt and the hula played such an important part. Then came the picture. Historians in search of information on the early attempts of screen entertainment would have found at the Putnam what they were seeking, for this picture carried all the earmarks of having been created at a time when the industry was still in its infancy and staggering along for lack of the actors that came after to make Hollywood the place it is today. It was a time-worn, moss-grown English picture, with scenes laid around a great race horse. We did not wonder that the theatre was more than half empty and that enthusiasm was at such a low ebb that the circus barkers blatantly selling their "prize candy packages," with raucuous voices, came as a relief. We strove manfully to "see it through," but had to give up. To think that in this day and time we can be carried back twenty-five years to the babyish efforts of producers still unschooled in the art of entertainment! Then the thought came to us how theatrical managers can kid themselves into believing they are doing their best by the public by giving such trash. Our fight for something worth while in the theatre as it concerns the Negro had the stamp of approval placed upon it when every theatre in Harlem catering to Negroes by the revue route tried, if nothing else, to present something a little more wholesome than the nauseating brain (?) children of simpleton minds known as revues. It is a most shameful reflection upon us that a big mouth blues singer (?), a few "hoofers," would-be comedians, and an untrained chorus doing the same thing week in and week out should suffice as entertainment for us. The men producing shows for our present day theatre that can furnish us with something above the average can be named on the fingers of one hand, even if one did chop off two fingers of that same hand. The yokels must be saved, even against their will, and we feel that Theophilus Lewis has made a wonderful contribution towards helping to lay a better foundation when he conducted his case in these columns.

At its theure the first two acts of the ver reliable "Within the Law" is presented, to be followed next week by the last two big acts. The presentation is so appealing to audiences in these columns it is safe to witness that every person witnessing its week's show will be on hand ext week. We have so often singled out each performer for special mention in these columns we consider it a taste of time to dilate on this end of the entertainment. Readers are only conversant with the words of last composing the da Andersson and the introduction of the English gentleman making his first appearance here. This long man is cast in the role of a wyer. There is no let-up in the warmth with which the players are received, in the contrary, despite the enthusiasm of Lincoln audiences during the play, without fear of being charged with tracing the truth that it was aviation which was tendered Miss Anderson and her company at the penning. Observers with confidence, Negroes to win constant approval, are more than pleased with the success of the dramatic offerings. The picture end of the bill for the utter half of the week will be that much talked about story, "Sorrell and Son." Manager Murphy said, "Responding to his picture, we felt he was announcing presentation at his theatre of the five greatest motion pictures ever made. Underworld Show At the Alhambra 'Three in One" at This House Drawing Many These Days These Days Anybody who is looking for trills will find plenty of them this week in the drama, "In the Underworld," by Fitzgerald Murphy. This week's offering of the Alhambra layers has its location in a den ofooks and counterfeiters. It is aided dion, richly furnished andounding in works of art, yet it is headquarters of a desperateuz. Their plots against an helress use many exciting occurrences. Dna Thomas is most effective as victim of the conspirators and, course, J. Lawrence Criner is chief of the rogues, known as the Tiger. His confederates are hurls at Mons George Wiltshire and Ted Blackman. Susie Sutton is the bejeweled id crafty keeper of the luxuriousive and Alice Gorgas a victim who nally nails revenge. Edward hompson, as the head of the set service, runs down the social unites and rescues the girl. There enormous applause at the surive odoring. **Laughing Through.** The most gorgeous comedies ever in the music comedy part of the program, laughing Through. Never were the sixteen Alhambra girls so bewitching. The costumes worn on glates by famous playwrights by pale dancers executed by the Scheringer-Anderson Studio, which creates the costumes for the "Ziegfeld Polles." But the gorgeousness does not shadow the fun. "Ashes" and Apus, that is, Jools Burns and Apus, that is, Boo Burns and Manda Randolph, Viola McCoy and Liz Dennis in staging a rejection that is a comical sate on Irish society. Alma Rubens is the photoplay for "Youth for Sale," a flery romance of drama for life. The brightly performance, as always, will be on Wednesday night. "House of Lies" Next. The Alhambra Players will present next week an entirely different kind of drama dealing with a new rich family and called "The house of Lies." It provides excellent opportunity or all the players and is what is something called an "evening press" bill. The revenue by the Alhambra conedlans will be "Southbound", on a railroad trip, instead of the irrepressible Sandy Burns. The picture feature starting Monday "The Unnamed Woman," with Herbert Rawlinson as featured player. HELLOI HERE WE GO FIRST ANNUAL BALL JOLI COEUR CLUB At the NEW HARLEM CASINO Friday Evening, April 27 Admilation, 75 Cents LINCOLN-ALHAMBRA SKETCHES GO OVER BIG Lafayette Offers Black and White Revue Pemberton to Present Four Plays Next Season BROCK PEMHERTON, who has made no productions this season, has begun work on four plays which will constitute the backbone of his program for next season. The first production will reach New York in August and the second will do that all four will have had a broadway showing by the end of October. "Goln' Home," an after-the-winter drama by Ransom Rideout, will be Mr. Pemberton's first production. Originally called "Ded River," a film which previously use this play won the first prize recent nation-wide contest conducted by the Drama League of America and Longmans Green & Co. The judgewere N. K. Reed, of that publishing firm, Walter Prichard Eaton and Mr. Pemberton. Previous to that the play was presented by the Pasadena context host by the Pasadena Community Playhouse and was performed by the Berkley Little Theatre. Since its acceptance by Mr. Pemberton it has been considerably revived under his direction by the Goln' Home, the French seaport his biographical novel and soldiers ready for the Atlantic crossing home are prominent among its personages. The second offering will be a melodrama by Paul Osborn called "The Lodge." This is based on a short story by Roland Holm entitled "On the Infinity." It is of the high-bat rather than the cushion school of melodrama. "With Headlines" is the tentative title of another play by Mr. Osborn included in the program. Originally it was called "Sideshow," but an invasion of misfits on Mr. Osborn's office on college campus and another play of circus life, caused the abandonment of that title. To forestall an onrush of young men with copies of the "American Mercury" in their pockets, the producer announces that "With Headlines" is not a news story but one with a background of college life, being slated for presentation this season and Mr. Pemberton was recently on the point of concluding negotiations with Basil Silney and Mary Ellis for its inclusion on their program at the farrick when he decided that, in much as he liked, his favorite plays, he would hold it for publication outside of repertoire next season. "Toloniel's Ladies," a paraphrase of Kipling's suggestion that there is no sub-utility difference between the Colonel's indy and Judy O'Grady, is the author's own original slated for this season was withheld because the services of a woman star were not available. Negotiations with a star are pending. The author, Fannie Henshall Lea, is a recipient of the "Saturday Evening Post" and several women's magazines. This is her first play to be accepted. As usual, Mr. Femberton will produce the plays under his own direction, and the decor will be by the designers who have done his previous productions. Our Negro Artists Enjoy Gold Service Banquet PARIS, France.-Soth Weeks, the Paris impressario and virtuoso of the mandolin and guitar, and Andrew Rosemond, the distinguished violinist and teacher, had the unique exertion to play the banquet with complete gold service. The artists, who were served the same as the guests, ate in a dining room of marble and mirrors. This now famous banquet was given by the pianist, who was Russian Ambassador (France) before the revolution) in his magnificent triplex mansion in the Bois de moulogne. The artists gave a program of Negro pianist was white, as no Negro was available.) The guests left the ballroom and repaired to the beautiful salle de reception to hear the Negro artists. The program was very well received by the guests, most of whom were of royalty from all over Europe. Seth Weeks, who made a tour of Russia before the revolution, is well known in Paris, London and Berlin. His work as impresario is confined to the museum of儒斯塔 European society. He is also a former president of the Cefcl Club, New York City. Mr. Rosemond, who made a three-year tour of the world, was formerly head of the violin department of the Berlin Philharmonic Music School, New York City. He was also a member to continue his study in Europe. Mr. Rosemond returns to America in September for a concert tour. "Porgy" Accepted in Boston After Some Minor Changes In spite of alarms and apprehensions at the Hollis Monday evening, April 9, "Porgy" has come safely through the Bostonian censorship. The Licensing Clerk suggested an amendment to the colored people of Catfish how make innocently free with the name of Jesus. The spokesmen of the Theatre Guild and the Hollis readily agreed, the dissensions are also more than a few, and are clearly the ed. In fact, there was general surprise at so few and immaterial objections. For a fortnight, then, "Porgy," its original and, compelling self, will flourish in Boston. JOLSON AT LAFAYETTE "The Jazz Singer," which has just finished its "year," which has broadway, will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre next week. All Jolson, one of the world's greatest pantheon," and all-around entertainers, is the star. "The Jazz Singer has been universally acclaimed as the best picture in years. The stage program for the week will be Ed. Small's Paradise Revue, with Charlie Johnson's famous band, and augmented by a group of additional chorus girls and comedians. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25 1928 Another Batch Making History in Dramatic Sketches at the Alhambra 3 EDNA LEWIS THOMAS Miss Thomas, after closing with "Lulu Belle," came to the Alhambra Players. J. LAWRENCE CRINER Mr. Criner makes a most likable villain in the dramatic sketches. ALICE GORGAS As a member of the Original Lafayette Players, Miss Gorgas made a name for herself. CHARLES MOORE Mr. Moore returned to New York, after an absence of many years, to appear in the drama. SUSIE SUTTON This is the original "Breezy Susie," beloved as a member of the old Lafayette Stock Company. EDDIE THOMPSON In whatever he does, the work of this performer always stands out. A welcome addition to the Alhambra. Despite the Claim of Those Seeking to Deny a Better and More Wholesome Form of Entertainment in Negro Theatres, the Dramatic Sketches Being Offered at the Alhambra Theatre Have Found a Ready Response at the Hands of the Colored People in Harlem. The Management Maintains an Atmosphere at the Alhambra Which Makes the House an Ideal One for the Presentation of a Higher Form of Amusement. Mixed Revue at The Lafayette Novelty Offered at Big Seventh Avenue House This Week "Novelty" is the keynote of this week's show at the Lafayette Theatre. In spite of the heavy rain, the theatre was packed to capacity at Monday's matinee. The cast is composed of both colored and white artists—exactly forty-seven in number—thirty-one colored and sixteen white. The cast includes seven actors colored contiguent being led by Baby Cox, Laura Bowman, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Billy Mitchell and Russell Lee; the white group by performers said to be well known on television, designated by Flo Ziegfeld, both colored and white artists work together—chorus number following chorus number, comedy situation following comedy situation, dance following dance following grand finale of fun, dance and song with the whole company on the stage. Baby Cox can dance, sing and talk as few girls can. She "stopped the show" time and again. Then, there was the offering of Stinley Moore's *The Big Show*. These two dramatic stars appeared in a delightful song and comedy hit which brought a storm of applause and kept them bowing for two full minutes. Then there was a little dance, and the performances, who sang and danced to the delight of the whole audience. All these novel surprises occurred in the offerings of the colored performers. The white entertainers of the show were included in ten beautiful chorus girls and a group of comedians whose work is a real delight. The feature photoplay for the week is the film version of John Erskine's novel *The Life of Ivan Brown*. Marla Corda, Ricardo Cortez and Lewis Stone are the stars. Drama Sketches Attracting Attention of Newspapers The Herald Tribune of last Sunday contained a photograph of Edna Thomas, the charming leading woman of the Alhambra Players. This is the first time that a downtown newspaper has carried the portrait of any of the Harlem talent while appearing at a Harlem theatre. There has been much favorable comment upon this evidence of the increasing appreciation of the things theatrical now going on uptown, and the Alhambra Theatre is in the front rank of the factors that has brought Harlem talent to favorable notice. Many downtown people are making the journey to the Alhambra to see the museums are doing, as well as the comedians and the popular Alhambra Girls.

This is a yearly event which those interested in music of a high standing look forward to with anticipated pleasure. When a school has the backing of twenty-one years of service and has stood the acid test of well-known musicians, as well as a discerning public, it must indeed be be a well-fitted to give the public a recital of high calibre. This year's recital promises to be the best yet given. As guest soloist the school will present Mr. Hargesetton, the distinguished pianist who will play first movement of the Mendelsohn Concerto with the orchestra.

Alhambra People Holding Center of the Spotlight In the eight months since the Alhambra Theatre was opened by the present management the style of entertainment instituted there has acquired not only a national, but an international, fame. Demands have come from various cities in America and from several foreign centers for the Alhambra type of show. Plans are afoot to seek companies abroad, and many applications are coming in from talent. An Alhambra troupe is now at the Royal Theatre, in Baltimore, presenting "Circus Days." Included in the personnel are: Hilda Rogers, Sam Crackshot, Angie Mitchell, Slim Thompson, Malinda and Alberta, Henry Williams and others, besides a large chorus of Alhambra Girls and Robert's Animal Circus, George Mule, Maud' and the well-known bounding act, the Murray Brothers.

What the theatre requires, and, for that matter, the church, is those gifted spirits, who cannot be dominated by public caprice; who give the people what they need, not what they want. William Winter years ago marked the paucity of the supply of such artists, and added that while the popular mandate "may control a jester, it cannot regulate a genius." To what desirable end is a cathedral with no vital message to fill its "long drawn aisles and fretted vaults"? Until another Liddon or a Phillips Brooks ascends the pulpit the purpose of the structure remains unfilled. So it is with the theatre. Its very wealth of accessories frequently advertises to the discerning eye its poverty of essentials. If dramatic authors can secure great actors ahead, they will be the less likely to set down the mean, the trifling, the vapid or the base in their parts. The inspired individual on the stage cannot become enthusiastic over piffle or putrescence as he can over the dramatic realities that make or mar a nation's wellbeing.

EJGHT "BOJANGLES" ROHINSON, the famous dancer and juggernaut, tells of a white man who was tried in a Georgia court before a jury on which there was one colored man. The lawyers for the defendant got in touch with this colored juror, paid him $.000 and promised him $2,000 more if he could get the jury to render a verdict of manslaughter. The jury took the case, argued over it for two days and finally returned a verdict of manslaughter. Stated, the defendant's lawyer hastened to add the additional demands to offer his congratulations, which were accepted by the colored juror with the following comment. "Yes, sir, thank you, Mr. Jones. That sure was a hard job, I had to argue there for two whole days, 'cause 'leven of them men wanted to 'quit that guy.'" We don't blame that juror. There was no stipulation in the agreement that he would have gotten his money if the defendant was acquitted.

Always helpful SOLD BY DRUGGISTS EVERYWHERE MUSIC Joint Choir Concert At Salem Church From whatever angle it may be regarded, there can be no dental that there exists a wealth of vocal talent among the varolus church choirs that took part in the benefit ceremony given at Salem M. E. Church on Sunday afternoon. Seven choirs took part in the concert, the proceeds of which were donated to a fund for Prof. Rudolph Grant, organist and choir director of Salem Church, who has been confined to his home because of illness. It was a great tribute and a notable expession of the loyalty that exists among the church choirs of the city. The program started auspiciously with the rendition of Ithign's anthem, "The Lord is Great," by the choir of St. Mark's Church. The oratorio sings of this group justifies their distinction as a choir of high attainment, but they exhibited many flaws in this particular presentation. The bass section is too sonorous and gives one the impression of a museless melange in which the arrangement of voices is rather unbalanced. With these reservations the rendition was successful. Turner's "Son of My Soul" was rendered exceedingly well by the choir of Rush Memorial Church, directed by Prof. Noble Ross. The control of voices of a low tonal quality enabled this group of singers to show up to good advantage. High praise is given the Salem quartette, comprised of Jennie Golins, soprano; George Simmons, tenor; Sadie M. Grenade, contralto and Julesius Williams, basso-pittoro. Buck's "Te Deum" was considerably enhanced by the melodious blending of voices of a rich texture as evidenced by this quartette. The Emanuel M. E. Choir, directed by Prof. Herbert Allen, sang Mendelssohn's "Rise Up, Arise Ye," the soprano section leaves much to be desired but, on the whole, the addition was good. "God So Loved the World," a movement from Stether's "Crucifixion," was fairly well interpreted by the chair of Mother Zion Church. There was a decided lack of support from the bass section, but this defect was adroitly covered by the high quality and tension of voices of the contralto and tenor sections. A fine arrangement of voices in all four parts was evidenced in the condition of Tour's anthem, "God Hath Appointed a Day." It was offered by the Bethel Church "Holr," directed by Prof. Joseph Vandervall, and was, in our estimation, the best rendered of the afternoon. A contritto sang the leading parts in Stether's "Carol," and was presented by the chair of Mt. Direct Baptist Church, directed by Prof. Lorenzo Dyer. The voice of this soloist gave evidence of a limited range and was rather developed in its higher registry. With this exception, the singing was good. An intelligent interpretation of Randegueh's musical composition of the 10th Psalm was rendered by the choir of the Abyssinian Church. Uninstudied praise is given them for their thoughtful execution of detail. Deserving of high mention was the work of Doris Trottman, Minnie Brown and Daisy Harding, sopranos, who contributed individual scores to the program. The voice of Miss Brown, in particular, was exceedingly fresh and rhythmic, but possesses the semblance of another condition. A pleasing revelation of effective singing was also offered by Messrs. R. W. Momm and James DeWitt Spencer. Under more favorable conditions these two singers would achieve high acclaim, James Brown, bass-buffo, offered a rich voice of several good tones, but showed lack of intimacy between his middle and higher registry.—E. T. R. Talley-Murray Studio Recital Juvenile talent assumed a prominent part in the joint recital of the Sonoma Talley and Margaret Murray music studios, which was rendered at Imperial Hall before an audience of meagre proportions Saturday evening.

Their own children, their big brother and sister, also accompanied them. At the evening service the Rev. Mr. Hayes, after saying he would not preach, but would give a short talk, chose his subject from ballet: "Lift on your eyes on high and behold who lath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number. He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one folleth"; and he preached a wonderful sermon on treating away from man-made things, out into space and silence, to feel the nearness of God."

PRICES 750 BIG CONCERT by Concord Baptist Church Choir CARLTON TO HOLD NEWS To Investigate Brooks Shooting Claim That Colored Man Was Shot Without Provocation As a result of the activities of the Borough Civic Association District Attorney Charles Dodd has promised to start an investigation into the shooting of Eugene Brooks of 1763 Prospect place, if the facts warrant it. On Friday a committee from the organization was able to secure antisavvies from several persons, who stated that Brooks at no time was armed and that he could have been arrested without being "shot down like a dog." These persons were eye-witnesses to the shooting. Brooks was placed in Prospect place and was 33 years old, was shot a 2 a.m. m. on March 31. All of the daily papers having their story on the information received from the police stated that "a huge Negro bandit had been shot." The police said that she had seen Brooks she thought he was losing his mind as he told her that he had to preschool about Jesus, and while talking he continued to walk up and down the street. About 1:30 a.m. m. she was in 1755 Prospect place and heard a call from her head in when they saw her looking out of the window. She did this and closed the window, but this did not ston her from observing what went on. She saw Brooks talking the police and then walk away. Not long after she and police were doing it all. At no time did she see Brooks with a revolver. Miss Rita Benton, white, of 1744 Prospect place, also signed an affair. She stated that that she was the police officer the hallway and became afraid and rushed up fire escape. From her statement there were policemen in the hall talking to Brooks. One of them turned a flashlight on him. Brooks turned his back and walked down the hall when she heard shots fired, and as Brooks ran out of the hall, she heard him say "You can kill me but kill Jesus." Burgundy, of 235 Halsey street in the Saratoga County apartment, also saw the shootout, in his statement Burgundy tells how he was out with a department truck at Prospect place. He stated he saw two policemen standing and firing a doorway. He saw a man who later ran up to him and struck on officer run up to him and struck on officer head with his nightstick and uttered an oath, and stated if the man moved they would give him more. Burgundy stated that at no time was a revolver in Brooks hand, cold night used, he was able to very plainly. He offered to take the man to the hospital in his truck but the policemen refused the offer. He waited to see what was done. The policemen, he further stated, placed on the running-board of a department car and two men stood on him. Burgundy may be remembered as the hero of a fire that occurred in the Eastern parkway section several years ago. Abel Shenker, white, of 1744 Prospect place, also signed a statement as to what occurred. She tells how she was aroused by her neighbor, Mrs. Golsstein, asking her husband to get the police. She telephoned for the officers, not knowingly in his Brooks trouble, for she and her husband pleaded and considered him a religious fanatic, and her husband had often talked to Brooks and was always able to quiet him when he commenced to talk religion too much. She stated that Brooks went from house to house to Brooks and was always able to quiet Lord was coming. He was a hard working longshoreman and was never known to carry a revolver. The committee from the Borough Civic Association held two interviews with District Attorney Dodd, Lord was coming. He was a hard working longshoreman and was never known to carry a revolver.

WASHINGTON, Newton Eugene—In his memory of my dear brother, who deprived this life March, 1824, in New York City. March days again are here, To me the saddest of the year, For it was on the eleventh day God called my brother away. Dear brother, though I loved you, God loved you the best. He knew you were thirst and weary. So He called you home to rest. Four years have passed, My heart's still more; As time goes on I miss you more. Your gentle smile, your loving face, No one can fill your vacant place. From a world of sorrow and pain To the land of peace and rest God has taken you, brother, Where you have found eternal rest.

CHICAGO’S LESSON ‘THE WORST political and moral disaster in years, from the Negro’s point of view, occurred in Chicago last week. In the First Congressional District of {inois, with the col- cored voters outnumbering the whites five to one, William L. Dawson, Negro aspirant to Congress, was defeated in the primaries by Martin B. Madden, white. . ‘CONSIDERING the known aggressiveness of the Chicago Negro, this news was incredible, but it turned out to be piti- fully true. It was also cpparent that such a result could have come about only by dirty work somewhere. Soon came the astonishing report that while the Negro masses of Chicago were eager to see a Negro in Congress, the idea was openly opposed by all the Negro press except one or two papers, by all the Negro officeholders, and by most of the educated and prosperous Negro citizens, who managed to convince the people that the time was not ripe to send a Negro to Congress. IF THIS REPORT is true it is the most disgracing thing in the history of Negro leadership. What happened to the vaunted Negro press of Chicago, which has always named itself the most fearless and incorruptible defender of the race? What came over the educated group, that they should push the Negro back instead of forward? For several years ‘an uneasy suspicion has been growing, a creeping presenti- ment that only the masses had the true interests of the Negro at heart and that the educated class were too often the will- ing tools and decoys of white people who wished to keep the Negro down. The Chicago disaster will certainly en- courage that suspicion. And’ it is just as well. If Negro political and social leadership is rotten, if it exists only to ‘sell and betray its followers for every mess of pottage, it is better for the people to know it once and for all and cast it out. Once this is done, they can get new leadership. The Negro has had honest leaders in the past and he can have them again. _ BITTER ae the Chicago lesson is, the Negro may profit "sy it, and nowhere more than in New York. The’ Negroes here have the same chance that the Chicago Negro allowed to slip; they can put a Negro in Congress if they will get together and use their full voting power. .Fifty thousand votes will elect a Negro Congressman, and Harlem has more vetes than 50,000. The Amsterdam News would say to them: “Look well to your leaders. If any man or any newspaper, however famous, or for any reason whatever, tells you that the time is not ripe for a Negro Congressman, turn a deaf car. Shout down any leader who says ‘You can’t.” NO ANALOGY? ALL WHO WISH to see how far a hair-splitting lawyer can go should read the article in last week's Liberty on the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth Amendments to the Constitution. Senator George of Georgia boldiy admits that the South is violating the spirit of the Fourteenth and Fif- teenth Amendments and saye it will continue to do so, In this there is nothing new; but he goes on to say that the South is right in violating the Fourteenth and Fifteenth ‘Amendments and the Northern Wets are wrong in violating the Eighteenth Amendment. HE SAYS: “There is no honest analogy between the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and the Eighteenth. In the former certain rights were specified, and no duties placed on anybody to enforce them, In the latter amendment ‘specific duties were set forth, and the Volstead Act pass=d to describe the manner in which these duties were to be car- ried out. . . . Itisa simple thing to kill the Eighteenth Amendment. All the Wets have to do is to elect a House of Representatives and a Senate to repeal the Volstead Act and refuse to pass any enforcing: measure in its place. ‘There will then be no way of compelling obedience to the Eigh- teenth Amendment.” IN OTHER WORDS, no matter what the Constitution says, a man has the right to do anything he can get away with. If the law against robbery and murder is not strictly enforced, a man has a perfect right to rob ai:2 kill his neigh: ‘bors, The Senator is trapped by his own logic; he admits that it would be right to violate the Eighteenth Amendment if the Volstead act were repealed. By inference he upholds the violation of any constitutional amendment and of the body of the Constitution itself, IN SPITE of the Senator's quibbling, he knows that there is a decided analogy between the three amendments. Each of them is a part of the United States Constitution—the supreme law of the land—and each of them is expressed in unmistakable language. The fact that two of them are not buttressed by appropriate legislation does not give any man the moral or legal right to defy them. If it is wrong to violate the Eighteenth it is wrong to violate the Fourteenth end Fifteenth.

THE NEGRO has passed through three distinct stages since the Civil War.. From 1870 to 1900 the most admired Negroce were preachers, teachers, doctors or politicians. Then came the Booker T. Wahington period, when economic development was the watchword, and all young Negroes were told either to teach or go into business, In that way a Paul Rebcecn would have been scolded for fooling away his time in singing and acting, and a Countee Cullen would have beer called the victim of a mirvlaced education. NOW the third stage is upon va. and Newro artists of all kinds are coming into their own.
