Mr. Thomas Johnson will sing a program of opera songs, sentimental songs, spirituals and ballads at Blanchard Hall on next Tuesday, July 15th. This is Mr. Johnson's first recital in Los Angeles but it is not his first appearance. He won a lasting place in the hearts of Los Angeles' people who made his first public appearance two years ago at Wesley Chapel. He has endeared himself to all of Los Angeles, to laymen, to

Mr. Hugh E. Mavbeth,
Lissner Building, Los Angeles.
My dear Mr. Macbeth:
Just received your very courteous letter. Sorry I cannot be with you on July 7th at your "Over the Top" meeting. I have no doubt it will prove a tremendous success for three reasons:
First—The brains, enthusiasm and character of men like yourself, Troy Littlejohn and associates I met in my office some weeks ago are certain to carry you "Over the Top."
Secondly—You are acquiring a ranch; a principality if you please; of wonderful possibilities.
Thirdly—You are going into a new but near-by country of unexcelled climate, soil and natural advantages and you will be unhampered by race prejudice. In a word, you will be left free to work out your own destiny in a country smiled upon by God Social, industrial and intellectual Freedom await you. May you all put together and succeed together as you so richly deserve to do!
Sincerely your friend,
JOHN P. HOLLAND
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
In making an announcement in behalf of our grand entertainment which is to be at the T. M. Hall on Spring St., between Second and Third Sts., Friday evening, July 11, we have in our city, who will appear at the T. M. A., some of our best professional talent who have spent most of their young days abroad touring the world showing the people of Europe and Asia what our colored people really can do; it is something that each and every one cannot do. One of these great acts I shall

church people, and to "just folks" as well as to the critics.
Mr. Johnson is deservedly popular. His voice is baritone, of great resonance and range and his singing is especially characterized by a distinct utterance. His interpretations are intelligent and his personality sincere, friendly, wholly pleasing.
It is predicted that Blanchard Hall will be packed to capacity limit on Tuesday night. Tickets are selling fast—so it will be well to come early.
speak of—Prof. J. McKinney—a well-known and great colored magician with a reputation throughout the world. He joined the great Thurston magician in 1905 appearing in leading theatres throughout every country such as the Phillipine Islands; China; Japan; Australia; Ginapo; Malay Straits; Island of Java; British Burmah; Egypt; Africa; India, the home and land of magic; Greece; Rome; France; Austria; Germany; Holland; across the boundaries into Russia; England; besides many other countries.
Prof. McKinney will show many feats in Ledgedonian that looks seemingly impossible; some of them which will be manipulations of pigeons from flames of fire and water illusions, and the double trunk mystery.
Mr. and Mrs. Jalvan, one of our greatest juggling acts, who have played before Kings and Queens in Europe and Asia will do some wonderful and mystifying stunts which are great Oriental acts everywhere in the theatrical world. Bring your mother, father, sister, brother and sweetheart to witness a grand entertainment you cannot see often.
Reserve Seats 50 Cents; General Admission 25 and 35 Cents.
Good Music—Refreshments will be served—Plenty of fun from start to finish.
CARD OF THANKS
I wish to thank my many friends, and supporters, and the community at large, for their loyal support in electing me as President of the Forum—an organization that I feel is from its far famed reputation, and principles for which it stands, the greatest Civic Organization west of the Rocky Mountains, and possibly second to none in the United tates. I also wish to announce that I will always have an exceptional respect for the many ladies who took time, aside from their important business.

YOUNG MAN MAKING EFFORT TO COMPLETE EDUCATION
Young Singleton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Singleton of Allensworth is in the city for about eight weeks in which time, out of his sales of "The Practical Guide to Health," a book that should be in every home, he hopes to secure a scholarship in order that he may further continue his study of medicine at Loma Linda College.
Mr. Singleton has just graduated from the Pacific Union College of St. Helena, and he is one of our best young men, and it is hoped that the people of Los Angeles will not only make his stay pleasant, but will also do everything within their power to make it profitable by purchasing one of these books, that, as a student of medicine, Mr. Singleton recommends for all common ailments in the home.

Mrs. Rosa Wotten is presenting Mrs. Cole.
Following is a part of a clipping from the Portland Star:
But that the Negro's sense of music may assume intellectual sturdiness, is not so generally known, and it was that quality which Lorenza Jordon-Cole conjoined with emotional fervor spiritual exaltation and rhythmic vigor last night in her debut recital given at the Fine Arts Hall where she was presented by her teacher, Marie Cashweiler, before a large audience.
Her Bhrams' G minor Rhapsodie was the opening offering and placed as though to assert at the very beginning of her professional career, Miss Cole's musical mentality and fine sanity. It is true that she emphasized the romantic elements of the composition to an extent that rendered Brahms at times, almost as sensuously appealing as Chopin, but a feeling for structure, form and the relation of the parts to the whole was dominant throughout. Brillance and power in the Leschetizky octave intermezzo with firmness in the rapid octave phases; less of croppes in the Liszt 'Waldesauchen' as though the Lesgetizky number had exhausted the player's wrists; a too vigorous interpretation of Debusy's 'Jardin sois la Pluie'; a charming performance of MacDowell's wayward 'Rigaudon' and a vigorous, though not always clear presentation of Chopin's Polonaise in F sharp minor, were elements and offerings that stamped the young Negress as an authentic artist. Of the two Negro folk songs, the first was splendidly the best, reflecting the passionate protest and spiritual revolt of souls harassed, superstitious, brilliantly played.
but crowned superbly with faith. This work. "I'm Troubled in My Mind," an arranged by Coleridge Taylor, is nothing less than a rhapsodie wrought to the point of fine frenzy. The same composer's transcription of a West Indian "Bamboula" has less muster and more spectacular value and was

A crowd which taxed the capacity of the hall was present for the occasion, some of them came to do honor to the president elect, some came out of their usual devotion to this civic body, some came to see the circus, these last ones were sadly disappointed for they saw indeed a dignified and highly creditable beginning of the term of office of the man who never quits, J. W. Coleman. This man who had put "pep" in the elections from time immemorial starts out to put "pep" and dignity in the proceedings of the Forum.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH—
740 Maple Ave.
Rcv. H. D. Prowd, Pastor.
Notwithstanding the hot weather our Sunday School was well attended last Sunday. The Superintendent's remarks on the Doctrines of the Baptist Church were well received and considered very timely. At the 11 o'clock service there was manifestly quite an out-pouring of the Holy Spirit as the people expressed themselves as the children and servants of God. Many joined the Church at the close, and a beautiful baptismal service concluded the most delightful worship. The Lord's Supper was observed at night, and the hand of fellowship was given to new members Mr. E. W. Layton, President of the Womens National Baptist Convention is coming here on or about the 27th and deliver a lecture Monday the 28th in one of our churches. She will be in San Diego Wednesday the 30th at Pasadena Friday the 1st; at San Bernardino, Monday the 4th; and at Bakersfield, Tuesday the 9th. Mrs. Layton is the biggest woman of the race and we rightly hope that all the people will give her the best welcome and the most kindly treatment of the West. Arrangements are now on foot for her visit among us.
Two large congregations worshiped at Wesley Sunday. The pastor's morning seton on "The Dedicated Life" was one of unusual power. Three persons were added to the church. Brother Stout reports good services at the Pullman Mission. There was one conversion.
Our July Day is this Sunday. The effort will take the form of a State Day: Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, California, and many other states are well organized for the effort. Brothers J. A. Jackson, Captain of Texas; Leonard Greene, Captain of Louisiana; Dr. Leonard Stovall, Captain of Georgia; and Brother O. S. Stout; Captain of the other States are determined to lead. The number present from each state will be counted. Let us see which state will have out the largest number at the services.
Come and hear one of the pastor's greatest sermons in the mornings; Roland W. Hayes will sing at the Evening Service. This is his only appearance before a colored audience while on the Coast this trip. Hear him. Silver offering. The pastor will represent Mississippi at the evening service with a short sermon; Mr. Hayes will represent Georgia, Tennessee and Massachusetts and other persons will be announced later to represent other states on the program.
Come and spend a great day with us.
PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST

Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor.
The Silent Processional to Rubenstein's Melody in F was an impressive introduction to the Sacramental service at this church last Sunday morning.
Brother Emmanuel Hall sang "He Lifted Me," with so much spiritual fervor that the large congregation felt the lifting power of God and sat in happy expectancy for the sermon by Rev. N. P. Greggs.
He chose as his theme "The Ministry of Suffering," taken from St. Luke 24:26, and step by step led to greatness, greatness of spirit, comes the realization of the truth that real only thru sorrow and affliction; that we may use affliction and sorrow as rungs to the ladder by which we climb to God, for thru much affliction we must enter into the kingdom of God, and if we would share the glory of our Master we must also share his sorrow, because thru suffering he entered into his glory.
The choir, directed by Rev. Greggs, as usual, inspired and enthused the congregation with its singing.

At night the pastor preached and one more came forward and united making seven accessiones for the day. Three were converts. A large number commumed and the Presiding Elder's assessment of $70.00 was more than raised with ease, aside from a benevolent offering of nearly $25.00 for one of our sick and incapacitated brothers.

Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor.
The past sabbath was indeed a day of rejoicing at this church. At 3 p.m. the Presiding Elder was represented by Dr. S. M. Beane who preached for him in his 4th and last quarterly meeting, the preacher seemed to have been at his best, and preached an excellent sermon to the satisfaction of all his hearers and many shouts of joy were heard. Rev. R. House assisted by the brthren present consecrated and administered the Holy Communion.
The churches were well represented through their pastors. At the evening hour the Rev. G. W. Bussey of Paradena brought us another highly spiritual message to the satisfaction of all. Sunday was also the opening of our financial drive to raise our quota for the year, all who have soliciting cards or books may turn them in as fast as possible. The big church had its first rehearsal Tuesday evening, with a large number present. I desire to thank the churches who are rallying to our assistance in this effort. The regular rehearsals will be held, each Tuesday at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 5 p.m. All persons taking part will be present at one or both if possible. Regular services Sunday, July 15th All are welcome to our services.
HAMILTON M. E. CHURCH
Cor. 18th St. and Naomi Avenue
Rcv. S. M. Beame, Pastor.
Sunday was a glorious day at Hamilton. The Sunday School held its session at the regular hour, ninethirty. It being the first Sunday in the month it was Centenary day, and the pupils paid their Centenary pledges. The lesson was profitable. The pastor preached a helpful and instructive sermon from the subject "Despised and Rejected," at the morning hour. This discourse was thoroughly enjoyed by those who
heard it. The Commission of the Lord's Supper was administered at the close of sermon. This sacred and solemn service made a profound impression upon those present. The pastor preached a very interesting sermon at Ward Chapel A. M. E. Church at three o'clock in the afternoon, from the subject, "The Joys of the Christian Life." The night service was uninteresting in the extreme, the pastor taking as his subject, "Consideration of Christ." His sermon was a plea for a greater consideration of Jesus and less of dogmas and doctrine. You are invited to worship at this church and you will always find a cordial welcome.
LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRIGATIONAL CHURCH—
34th St. and Centra Avenue
E. E. Lightner, Pastor.
"He preached unto them, Jesus." Acts 17.18, was the text used by the pastor as he spoke to the splendid audience assembled on last Sunday morning. Sergt. Luther T. Snow of the 25th Infantry, was accepted into the membership of the Church, following which a large crowd of members and friends partook of the Lord's Supper. The vocal solo by Miss Juanita Patton was a work of art and a benediction to all present. The evening service the pastor gave the third in a series on "The Messages to the Churches of Asia." Quite a nice sum was added to the rally fund, which was continued.
This Sunday will be of special interest. The pastor will occupy the pulpit morning and evening. Morning subject: "What eest Thou;" Evening, "Fourth in Series, Messages to the Churches."
Come where a hearty welcome awaits you.

BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST—
(Holiness)
Hooper Ave. and East Adams St.
Elder Wm. A. Washington, Pastor
The past Sunday was a glorious day at Bethel Sunday School; it was well attended and had a profitable session. At the morning hour the
pastor delivered a wonderful sermon, Text, St. John 9:23. The message was indeed edifying and very helpful. The manifestation of the Holy Spirit was made known in power and demonstration. Holiness is not a doctrine nor a theological expression, but a state of being—"Be ye holy for I am holy." Nor is salvation merely the joining of the church, but a reality to the man or woman who has been born again. At this service we were blessed with two conversions and one accession to the membership. At 7 p. m. three persons—precious sbuls—were baptized At 8 p. m. the pastor delivered another helpful and inspired message Text, Acts 2:5-8. At this service seats were not available for all present. The Lord is wonderfully blessing his messenger. Don't fall to hear him. Excellent singing by the Choir Next week services as usual—Al welcome.

Work on the reconstruction of the bruned building has begun, in about four months we hope to be in our new edifice. In many respects it will be the best edifice of our groupe in the city. In a later note we will make mention of some of the features in which it will be excellent. Also a statement of monies raised, expenditures and obligations, we are launching a campaign to raise $1,000 by the time that the building is complete to lessen the obligation incurred by the reconstruction.

“THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD.’
(By Rev. J. Logan Craw.)
{Continued from last issue)
The Rible declares men equal.
Acts 17° 24-28 delares: “God that
made the world and all things there-
‘in, seeing that he is Lord of heaven
‘and earth, dwelleth not in temples
made with hands, neither is worship-
"pd with men’s hands, as though they
needed anything, seeing he giveth to
all life, and breath and all things:
and hath made of one blood all na-
tions of men to dwell on all the face
of the earth, and hath determined the
times before appointed and the
bonnds of their habitations; that
they should seek the Lord, if haply
they might feel after him, and find
him, though he be not far from ev-
eryone of us.” For in him we live.
and have our being.” Here we have
an aviomatic truth, -pertraying the
equality of Men. * The Constitation
of the United ‘States proclaims them
equal. To make it so Indeed and in
truth fs the sacred obligation which
Almighty God has placed upon the
church and State. Not alone out'ot
self-respect, but from the lowed mo-
tive of self-preservation.—we must
discharge this duty to our fellowman
For unless we level up society, oth-
ers will level down society. As be-
tween the two. the former process i
democratic, the latter is not. This,
therefore is the Cherch’s day of op
portunity. Christiafcty was bora for
such an hour as this. It was design:
ed to be a vast unifying influence
a:zong the nations. The movement
started well. The solidarity of so
ciety was fearlessly proclaimed a
Jerusalem, the seat of ‘bigotry, ‘@
‘Athers, the seat of learning, and 9
Rome, the seat of. the mighty. Th
essntial onness of all races was se
forph:in convincing arguments an
differenco.between the Jew and th
" Greek,—barbarian and scythian
bondman and freeman. “Racisl™ dis
jthuctions—Social distinctjons—a I
wwere erased—and at Pentacost the
high water-mark of pure democracy
was established. Hence ,the church
came and now in these days of Re-
construction and Treaty making the
Church and the World are at it in
righteous combat perhaps as never
hefore. Yes. the church is awake.
‘The Dry Bones are living. To quote

A NEW ROAD THAT LEADS
TO INDEPENDENGE
Monday evening at Wesley
Chapel one.of the largest gath-
erings of the race’ that ever
came together to corisider so
serious a problem as the Lower
California movement was siz-
zling with interest, and at the
close of personal observations
told by Messrs. Jerome Hill,
T. W. Poinsett, V. M. Cole, R.
G. Lamar, C. Troy and Mrs.
Claudius Troy enthusiasm was
rampant and the directors are
glad to announce that they
have gone “over the top,” and
beyond.
At the close of the remarks
of the gentlemen, who satis-
factorially told the story of
«what they saw of the wonder-
ful Santa Clara Ranch, Atty.
Macbeth took his place at the
Jarmtern and Mr. T. W. Troy at
the canvass, and for about 15
minutes the great gathering
covered the ranch; visiting the
Sulphur Springs; watched the
corn and wheat grow and saw
through it all a great future for
themselves and posterity.
In order that persons inter-
ested in Lower California lands
may see for themselves the
company, starting July 21, will
rum regular weekly trips’ from
Los Angeles to Santa Clara;
those wishing to go are urged
to make:reservation in advance
with Mr. J. M. Littlejohn at
the office of the Lower Califor-
nia Mexican Land and Devel-
opment Company, 220-221-
Lissner Bldg., 524 So. Spring
St., or telephone Main 3239:
DOING SOMETHING
Within the past few weeks
great progress has been made
by the race in this particular
section by a practical demons-
tration of “Doing Something.”
To our mind the achievements
along the line of real effort sur-
passes all previous attempts,
and will give such an impetus
to future propositions that no
longer will the wail of “we
can’t” prevail. ;
Notable among the achieve-
ments has been the production
of a super-photoplay, “Injus-
tice,” this in itself was a most
remarkable and striking in-
stance of the great possibilities,
when attempted with a deter-
mination for success The fact
that the Democracy Film Co.
really produced and now has
ready for the screen’ a $15,000
production, speaks louder than
words of the real possibilities
before. us. ¢
Another notable event is the
acquisition by the Lower Cali-
fornia and Mexican Develop-
ment Company of productive
land, less than 200 miles from
Los Angeles, which is now on
the market and will shortly
yield forth the. products of the
earth by this people.
Another event at our very
door has been the fact that we
have the spectacle of a real or-
ganization among the men and
women of this city who essay
to do something along business
lines—The Progressive Busi-
ness League is making com-
mendable progress and with
its continued growth, it will
doubtless render great service
-to the future progress: of this
people along business lines,
And after all we are really
qualifying on: the proposition
of “Doing Something.”
The new regime has now
taken up the reins of our city
government. Much is expected
vof the same, the chief expecta-
tion is that there will be a fair
and-square deal for all of the
‘eitizens of this community. It
is-glso expected that with the

We hope and trust that these
things shall come to. pass—all
for the betterment and future
progress of our great city.

The home was beautifully decorated in Pink and white which colors were carefully, cleverly and artistically carried out even in the refreshments. The wonderful cake, which was a product of the hostess' own hands was a lovely pink and white and the beauty was not in the looks. Salad, olives and pink and white ice cream was served. Fifthly friends spent a very enjoyable evening. Miss Marshall received many complimentary gifts while congratulations for her achievements were showered in alumina.

A JOLLY FOURTH
Thirty-six young people although some had passed the two score and ten land mark, yet every last one was young, and every heart gay on that day ofollition the fourth of July. Like birds out of case they new hither and thither among the trees along the winding brooks of the woodlands. You see it was just a never-to-be-forgotten time and all seemed determined to make the best of it.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Banks invited a host of friends and relatives to partake of the bountieous offerings of the surroundings of their country home, located in the hills of San Fernando Valley. Thirty-four friends and relatives availed themselves of the opportunity and by way of auto didst seek out the dwelling place of their country friends.
Base ball target shooting, hiking, swinging, story telling and singing under shade trees; feeding hooks postering the goat were some of the ways in which they spent their idle time—then—
Thirty-three persons seated around a table that stretched across the big, clean-swept yard a table that groomed under its burden of every kind of foli in all its variety—while Mr. Banks served his superintendent kid, dripping and brown from the cinders, an hour, two, or three spent thus, and then after that—Well, there was nothing to do then but to lounge around and dose. Great buckets of ice cold lemonade acted as restorative to enable them to board the automobiles that took them singing happily away
Such was a day which many de-
veloped "the happiest" of their lives
sports in the country made posi-
bly a friend!
The day was an exceedingly joy-
ous one for Mrs. Jacks as it was the
first meeting of her brother Julius
Albrighton in nearly two years, as he
had returned only a day before from
camp, having been oversaid.
THE FRIENDSHIP BAPSTIST
CHURCH OF WAKEFIELD.
Five weeks ago a band of Christians meeting that their children formerly not willing to treat them as becoming Christians at their own church edified — The Macdonalds Baptist Church of Watts—shook the dust from off their feet and be them have the church frame they had built all to themselves. Another building they sought and were invited in a small building in the downtown section of Watts. To the pulpit of this newly appointed temple they called the Rev A. P. Hansse, who had resigned because of the friction, his former pulpit at the Macedonia Church. Here these 24 members have labored for those past five weeks and they feel that there is must be the work of God from the wonderful results that their labor has wrought. Twenty-one members in five weeks have laid on the altar for the use in the building of a Zion $60,000. Truth this magnificent and still they are laboring cheerfully and without spiritual hearts to make this church that will be erected in the heart of the business section of Watts, a building of which no one would be ashamed.
The third Sunday in June was Rally Day. On this day Rev Moore the overseer of Baptists in this section of the country was with them. Rev W. H. Tillman of the Friendship Baptist Church of Padua preached the sermon for the occasion. Rev. Brewer and congregation of Long Beach also Rev. Mrs. W. R. Carter were present to assist them. A great time they had which encouraged them to go on and upward. Their next rally is scheduled for the 3rd Sunday in August.
Wouldn't it make you feel peeved, if after, you had studiously finished college, well equipped with an education, intelligent and refined and had acquired, enough of this old world, goods in the form of a house with all necessary comforts; and an automobile and had even slightly sub
mitted to his incessant wooing and he had afterwards proved to be a peach of a hubby and you were otherwise incumbered with luxuries and the only thing that rippled the glassy smoothness of your young life was your constant failure to win certain laurels in the orem of a beautiful silver sup, the temporary property of a pretty winsome and elf-like maiden with wonderful accomplishments, etc., who when you had laboriously amuled to the top-most rung of the ladder of fame and reached out for such trophy, this gentle maiden gracefully removes same far from your reach to a higher and more difficult pinnacle, and then you had to battle for it still another year? Say! would it not set your anguora?
In a general way such has been the intableable misfortune of Mrs. Henry Young, but she is game and come up sniffing, and she looks more dangerous each time she tries, just watch her, she'll win a crown yet.
So thus the apparently invincible Fern Caldwell obtained full possession of the Southern California championship cup, after winning a place upon it three successive years.
In the July 4th tournament at Santa Monica, Mrs. Perry Norris of the Seattle Alpha Tennis and Outing Club, and Mrs. Win Allen of the Omega Club and Mrs. Young of the Young Ladies' Athletic League all poined upon poor little Miss Caldwell and while at times the crowd stood breathless around the sun-purched arena watching hostilities amid visions of the title being wafted away to the Northern Metropolis, but the color bearer proved to be still tres of the exciting situation when the pinch came.
With more practice and a little more speed Mrs. Allen may win with the family den with a string of trophies.
dress. Norris while not the champion of the North is glamorous up for that title and is a flashy player of ability and choice she struts up on her back hand work may one day wear a crown of honour she has a disorientating way of putting the pill where the opponent is hurt, and her service is a caution but once the possessive chivalry shows her stride and it was quick joy with triumph.
The surprise of the day occurred when Paul Davis stopped the "knockout drops" to champion Harper. The unruly winnings were statistically and digitally corroded that the good natural Edison was totally unaware of the prize or discovery of its loss for quite a spell. Just whether the ex-hip hop and 7 days, or Phil was in a real youth" turned no one seems to know. His body was done for the one wounded and hungry. Do you know who camped home in two dormsers?
Broyles was now under the direct observation of the peerless Ballinger group who was stationed next up.
It was like tossing a chunk of raw beef into a cage of terroiris buns, and there they chawed and managed each other until it was too dark to locate their adversary with the make-up. They were finally separated and dragged off the court's when the match stood one set all and three to two in games with Kemp holding the ball. The match was finished Monday afternoon at the Alpna Courts.
Broyles could not overcome Balsot hot service, although Kemp had to exude himself considerably it was discovered after the dust and smoke had cleared away that Kemp had the Championship hung to his left wisdom tooth and that he had announced his wish of oil of defeat.
The scores: Mrs. Norris eliminated Mrs. Allen by a score of 6-2, 6-13; Mrs. Young lost to Miss Caldwell 4-6, 6-3, 6-0; Mrs. Caldwell removed Mrs. Norris from the horizon 6-2, 6-4; Peters toyed with Mack White 6-2, 6-3; Thos Bain fell before Water McNeal 6-4, 6-1; Goo Johnson lost to our Al Matthews 6-4, 6-2; Weed Philip Davis harponed Wilm Allen 6-2, 6-3; Rav Matthews grabbed a tough bird and was pocked by Hassel Davis 7-5, 1-6, 6-4; Arthur Maloney stunned Ernest Bynum 6-4, 6-1; Dr. B. J. Jordan pulled Chester Williams McHers 6-0, 7-5; Little Phil Davis depleted champion dille Harris' chest 3-2, 3-6, 6-0; Hassel Davis lost to Toco Boryles 6-1, 9-1; Maloney struck a snag when he met E. J. Peters 6-3, 6-2; McNeal snubbed off Al Matthews 6-4, 4-6, 6-4; Doc Jordan failed to prevent Kemp from publishing his ivories 6-4, 6-0; Broyles operated on little Philip and he succumbed 6-3, 6-4; Peters scrubbed up with McNeal 6-0, 6-0; Broyles man-handed Peters 6-1, 8-6; Kemp wins title in a hot scrimmage with Eroyles 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.
The Western Federation of Tennis
Clubs decided to appropriate $300.00
to send Ballinger Kemp to the N
ational tournament in N. Y., he will
leave about August 1st.
There is but $200.00 of this in
sight so the finance committee ur-
gently requests that all advertis-

Mrs. Collins had a difficult task to accommodate those anxious to enter her race track.

AN OPEN LETTER
After a hard fought fight, entailing big effort, in which I was manfully assisted by Chaplain W. W. E. Gladden, President of The Democracy Film Corporation, and the Members of the Board of Directors, we have, I think, produced a Super-Feature Film—"INJUSTICE"—that will go far towards eliminating "Race Prejudice," and that will be a credit to the Colored Race. It was a colossal undertaking—a new venture is always looked up with suspicion—but, somehow, a goodly number of wide-awake people deemed one worthy of being considered seriously in this new and great undertaking. For that I thank you. The conception of this undertaking was mine, and the confidence you placed in my ability to bring it to a fruitful issue will not be misplaced, I assure you. The Production of "INJUSTICE" is now completed and will be shown at 2 "Grand Opening Performances" on Sunday, July 20th; 12.30, 2.30, 4.30, 6.30, 8.30 p.m. Won't you try to be there, dear
Friends, at one of those performances, and give this undertaking a big "Send Off?" It is an answer to "The Clansman." That should be sufficient to have it receive your endorsement. The picture will be shown in New York, Chicago, Washington and St. Louis within a few weeks, and subsequently in every portion of the inhabited earth. We are almost immediately going ahead to produce other pictures, and I firmly believe that we shall establish a permanent industry here, in Los Angeles, that will be second to none in the film business—and remember—the film business is now the FIFTH BIGGEST INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATES. A lot will depend on the "Send Off" that you give to "INJUSTICE." Will you make it a bumper one? We have worked very hard, and we intend to continue to work very hard, to establish an Industry here, in Los Angeles, that will bring big wealth to the Colored Community here, but our efforts will be hampered greatly if you, dear Friends, hold yourselves aloof. I make this appeal, very earnestly,—will you come to one of the Grand Opening Performances of "INJUSTICE?" I think you will enjoy it. You will have some hearty laughs, and I think you will shed some tears. I sincerely thank those who co-operated with me and those who financially interested themselves in this undertaking. I will make it my earnest effort to help to make every dollar invested in the Democracy Film Corporation worth $1,000.00 a share.

New inspiration and new desires were given but the same old faith. Our last Connectional Day will be Sunday August 3rd at which time our Educational Rally will be pulled off by Miss Edna Culpepper.
Our Dollar Money we are collecting as we go. Let every member and friend do his part and we will have success. "Nothing succeeds like success."

JACK DEMPSEY NEW WORLD'S,
CHAMPION KNOCKS OUT‘
JESS WfLLARD—THRER,
ROUNDS
(Wm. M. Watson)”
the World
Esx-champion Jess Willard was’ de-
throned after three terrific rounds of
the bloodiest four shortest champion-
ship huttles on record. A scan of the
dope shows that the Kansas giant af-
tr having been floored 6 times in
the first round managed to stall
tbrough the second ahd third but was
unable to respond for the fourth
round: his second, Walter Monohan
tossed a blood-spattered towel into
the ring at the beginning of the
iourth roun@ denoting the Jess was
through. Poor old Jess, 37 years old
was now going through what his pre-
decessor Juck Johnson probably sut-
fered at Havana, Cuba, April 5, 1915.
Althongh after 26 rounds of the best
that Willard could do in the-way of
dueking and dodging Jack's mighty
whip, he had not beaten or bruised
Jack wh} was then 37 anything like
Deupsey did in 3 rounds and then
old foxy Jack Johnson fell over more
trom sheer exhaustion: from his own
«forts, Reports by the scribes say
that Willard was a helpless, bleedirg,
tembling mass of hyman bulk for
hours after the bout, and had to be
helped to his dressing room ‘The
geng saved Willard from defeat in the
inst round after he kissed the canvass
the sixth time and Jack was unable
to apply the sleeping powders in the
second round being tired of knock-
ing the ponderous, bleding and reel-
ing champion about the ring.
Hight and left jabs were cutting
Willard -to ribbons all through the
third and he almost fell into his corn-
er, and there he sat a sad sight in-
ued: completely helpless. his chief
second wishing to save him further
punishment talked to him hurriedly
ani then spoke to Ollie Pecord the
referee, who while the howling mob
was yelling for him to stop it. ascer-
tained Willard’s willingness by a nod
of his asking head. the referee threw
ip his hands and hurried to Demp-
wy's corner and pulling ‘the new
champion ‘toward the center of the
ring umid a riotous uproar of fans
end just then Dempsey realized that
Willurd’s seconds had thrown up the
sponges und that he had cuddled
Jess of his crown. Thus the heavy-
weight title was hifted from the
shouldets of the slow | cumberson
Kansas fafmer to the Colorado lion's
broad nimble back
Witlurd is far from a poor looser
however, and acknowledges that
Dempsey won because he is the best
juw-breaker in the world today, alsc
that he. Willard, was in the pink of
vondition for his age, but that the
powerful pitcher simply approached
the old well once,too numerous.
‘The outcome of the July 4th frac
us simply substintuates Jack John.
son's eleventh hour claim, that he
had a pretty tough time avoiding
putting Willard to sleep in the earl;
rounds, and Jess was a much better
man then than now. s0 how coul:
they have avoided the services of a1
undertaker if Johnson had reall;
tried to demonstrate his mighty lef
pacon-fetcher upon Willard’s pape
jaw. '
Jack Dempsey's metoric record
brief as it is, stamps him as one o
the best heavy-weights of the las
decade. The old war-horse, Jin
Flynn elaims a knockout over Demy
sey, but the records don’t bear th
Public Fireman out, although it doe
show: Flynn knocked out by Demy
sey in-one round.
Jess Willard/on the other hand be
ing the biggest mauler ever to, hol
the title was without a doubt th

Dempsey is by far the most popu-

clever manager, Jack Kearns, hassal-

movie concern at $7,000.00 per week,

Please allow me spac: in your va.n-
able paper to call the rftention of onr
people to the fact that ws havelin our
midst another good lawyer. white Le
is virtuelly unknown to our people
generaily in this community he is
nevertheless here with the goods. in
the person of Attorney Fred Mason,
‘formerly of Houston, Texas.
Mr. Mason defended me in the case
of The Peoplg of California ys Leon
McCloney in the Superior Court. and
he assisted Mr. Burnett, also cplored.
in defense of my wife, both of us
were jointly charged in the same in-
alctment. but had separate trials. 1
guess the public generally will re-
member that we were charged with
the murder of a soldier by the name
of Charley Kempliny at the St. Fran-
cis Hotel on B. Sth St.. about the 25th
of February, 1919. At our examina-
tion trial before the Justice of the
Peace, on March 12, 1919, we never
ad Mr. Mason in the case. and we
were both bound over to the Superior
|Court without bail and T stayed in
jJail from February 25th to June 24th
| About March 18th my sister receiy-
jed word from my father in Beaumont.
|Texas, to find Attorney Fred Mason,
lus none of us here knew anything
jahout him he was induced. on ac-
jedunt of the friendly relations that
jexisted between he end my father,
jto take up my defense. Right here
|] will state that there were two criti-
cal moments in my life that I will
never forget; the first was on the
20th of June, when Atty. Mason an-
nounced readiness for trial, and 1
knowing at that time that T was on
trial for my life. My wife having al-
ready been tried the day before and
convicted of murder in the 2nd de-
gree. You can imagine my suspense;
and the next trying moment of my life
Iwas onagne 24th of June about i245
jwhen (saw that jury coming in with
|the verdict in my case. It would be
hard for me to tell all that I thought
and all that I saw in my mind’s eye
from the time that they came in the
door until the clerk of the Court read
the paper down to where it said No!
Guilty.
‘| When Atty. Mason announced his
readiness: for trial, he then made :

fight began in dead earnest and |

S BY JOHN A. GRAY
world’s greatest singers for the past
ten years, will perhaps be interesting
[10 the music lover.
| ‘The voice is the most perfect me-
dium with which to express the whole
pane of human emotions and there-
fore is tho most expressive instru-
ment. if we may all it such, in the
musica! world,
‘The Song Recital is the highest
form of vocal endeavor, the culmina-
tion of any singer's career.
Greater, and more exciting than
Grand Opera, because the addition
of scenery, costumes, orchestral set-
ting, acting and the assistance of
other soloists and the chorus In opera
make the singer’s work much easier
than in recital
Here the singer has nothing but
his or her personality, intelligence,
interpretation, ete., to support him
He must know how to hold the at-
tention und interest of his audience
and render his numbers fn such a
panner that their meuning is readily
Heasped.
A beautiful voice without pereon-
ality has less favorable chances on a
concert platform than a mediocre
voice, well-trained, backed by a
strong personality. » Personality does
nit mean a beautifil face or figure
alone—rather the contrary. For ex-
ample, Schumann-Heink—4he peer of
contraltos is anything but beautiful,
jbat her magnetism is felt the monient
she steps on the platform. You feel
drawn irresistably to her and in a
few moments ¥ou are erving or
laughing or passing through some
other emotional phase.
Unlike the instrumentalist, the vo-
calist has more freedom in the _ar-
rangement of his program. There
[seems to be-no hard and fast rules to
follow although a general scheme has
been universally recognized
In most eases un aria from an op-
era is used in the begining generally
from the early Malian school on ac-
count of the purity of its construction
or a group of carly Italian songs and
then might come a French group fol-
lowed by English, Russian, Norweg:
ian, ete. “Gometimes these groups are
mixed. “It all depends upon the
character of each song. The rule be-
ing to have as much variety as pos.
sible between the songs that follov
Jeach other. Never sing several songs
in succession of the same type. For
instance if a song Is sung that is sad
Jit may bring tears. The next. if it
is sad may moisten eyes, the next {
|the same will cause little efect, an¢
|the fourth will bore the audience. The

is preferable to use instrumentalists
as helpers but if another vocalist ts
used it should be of the opposite sex.
In conclusion we may sum up dur
program in one word—"Variety" And
to give this variety the singer must
be able to sing in different styles and
languages.
Therefore training, training, train-
ing is absolutely necessary.
Remember that the public does not
pay to hear a mere beautiful voice
but that it does pay to hear training
joven if there is a very ordinary voice
That ix one reason why there are so
few Negro artists in a race that bas
the most beautiful voices. They are
not willing to work for the necessary
eouipment.
