Miss Edna H. Johnson Becomes Bride Of Brice Taylor Tuesday evening, February 3rd, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Silney S. Johnson of 1359 W. 35th Place, one of the prettiest weddings of the season was staged. Under an umbrella-shaped canopy of sweet peas, chinie lillies and maiden hair derns that dangled fairy-like from the ceiling, the bridal party marched to the subdued strains of Mendelssohn that seemed to blend together as if by Magic touch, the soft pink and orchid that pleased the eye in passing. The two tones were carried out in the dress of the brides-madis: "Miss Ruby Jefferson, graceful in a gorgeous orchid crepe and silver lace. A silver wreath adorned her hair. Her bouquet combined the shades of pink and orchid. Miss Winona Winder was charming in pink crepe, also wore a silver wreath in her hair. She carried a bouquet of pink and orchid sweet peas. Miss Robinez Robinson, maid of Honor, exquisite in a crepe-de chine combination of the two shades, wore a hat of pink with streamers of the two shades. She carried a bouquet of pink sweet peas. Little Georgetta Thomas, flower girl, dainty in pink silk accordion-planted dress carried a beautiful basket of pink sweet peas and fern. Then the bride, whispered "O-Oh's and "how sweet," "lovely" could be heard among the large gathering of friends as the bride, beautiful in Princess lace over white satin, haltingly, modestly, trustingly wended her way on the arm of her father along the flower-strewn path. Her veil of lace and meline was caught up at each side of her head with orange blossoms. She carried a showed bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. Under the umbrella-shaped canopy of sweet peas, china lilies and maiden-hair tern, the bride, Miss Edna H. Johnson, and Mr. Bruce Taylor were united in holy wedlock by Rev. A. P. Shaw, pastor of Wesley M. E. The groom's party consisted of Meers. Tom Reid and Dick Hawkins, groomsmen, college friends of the groom. Mr. Edward Grayson, childhood friend of the groom, served as best man. Little Wilbur Johnson, cousin of the bride was ring bearer. The song, "O Perfect Love" was sung by Mr. Wm. Stoard. Mrs. D.

STOKES PASSES OUT FUNERAL SERVICES AT SMITH & WILLIAMS CHAPEL Quite a distinct shock was the news of the passing out of M. G. Stokes, well-known and pioneer real estate broker on last Saturday at 5 p.m. As a matter of fact the news of his illness was not generally known. It seems that about a fortnight previous to his demise while working around his car he received a scratch on one of his limbs. The injury was so slight that he carelessly passed it by and it was some days before he discerned that it was infected and sought a physician. This delay proved fatal, for blood poisoning had set in to such an advanced stage that medical science failed to save his life. M. Mr. Stokes was well known, a familiar figure in business circles and had a host of friends and admirers. He was known as a steady, honorable and painstaking business man and had made in this section an enviable reputation in his line of effort. He perhaps had the largest clientage of rentals and insurance than any mem ber of our group in this section. Funeral services were held from the Chapel of the Smith & Williams Understaffing Parlors last Tuesday at 2 A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

"MISSING LINK" SKULL FOUND IN AFRICA, BELIEF New York, N. Y., Feb., 11.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—The daily papers here are carrying stories of the discovery of a skull of a human being, said to rank in intelligence between a man and an ape and to be more than 5,000,000 years old, in Bechuanaland, South Africa. Scientists believe the skull to be that of the much talked of "missing link" of the evolutionists. The skull was found quite accidently by Prof. Raymond Dart encrusted in limestone that had been dynamited from a cliff. STEVENS APPEAL DISMISSED STEVENS APPEAL DISMISSED DETECTIVE LIEUTENANT WINS IN HIGHEST STATE COURT On January 26th the Supreme Court of the State of California, sitting in bank at the Court Room in Los Angeles, upon motion of Thos. P. White and Hugh E. Macbeth, Attorneys for William L. Stevens, Detective Lieutenant of Los Angeles Police Department, ordered the appeal taken by Mrs. Stevens dismissed. Detective Lieut. Stevens after a bitterly contested suit in the Court room of Superior Judge Burnell last July was granted a divorce from his wife, Mrs. Willa A. Stevens. At the same time the Court confirmed and approved a property settlement which Mr. Stevens had entered into with his wife and which she was attacking. The Superior Court held that the property settlement was her free and voluntary act and that there was no fraud on the part of Mr. Stevens. Mrs. Stevens appealed to the Supreme Court of the State of California in an effort to set aside the judgment of divorce and the approval of the community property contract which Mr. Stevens had secured. This last action of the Supreme Court makes Mrs. Stevens' judgment final and ends the case. KILLS DOPE PEDDLER SO IT IS SAID Least suspecting a frame-up, Hugh Horsley of 834 E. 3rd Street, in complying with the request of a customer met her at the appointed place, 9th and Hooper to deliver the narcotics ordered. Just as he had made the sale an officer came up and quietly informed him that he was under arrest. Evidence was too much against him for him to make a fight so Horsley quickly decided that flight was the better method and straightway proceeded to put it in practice. It was a test as severe as any would be sprinter ever had put to him: on the cars off the cars in the alleys, along highways and by ways, in again and out again, on again and Horsley was a has been. You see Horsley proved the better spinner of the two so officer John M. Murphy (white) decided to stop him with a fleeter instrument. He shot severalf times to scare him, that not having any effect he fired to shoot him in the legs and shot him in the abdomen. Officer Murphy had given marked money to Corinne Jackson of Long Beach to purchase the Narcotics of Horsley. Mrs. Jackson gave it to Mrs. Cole of Holes McIlroy who made the purchase of Horsley at 9th and Hemlock when he was nabbed at by Officer Murphy. Murphy was acquitted by the coroner's jury Wednesday morning.

BASS, National Committee-man. Thursday, February, 19th is the time, Assembly Auditorium, 833 Central Avenue is the place. WELL! The predicted day of doom has past and "Father Time" is still doling out the minutes and days. The sun still shines upon the just and the unjust. Hate, love, jealousies and all of those elementals which control human nature, still exist and are as far from the eradication as they were centuries past. It seems a travesty upon human intelligence when we think that there could be found even 140,000 people in this country who were so benighted as to believe that the Savior or man was going to appear in a cloud on one side of this Hemisphere over, relay up the coast of California from San Francisco, stoping at Los Angeles and Oakland, then step on the gas and give us the merry ha' ha' while those "Brides elect" looked down at the rest of us friving up. Such farcicism does need to create Agnosticism than any other medium. THIS month of February ushers in birthdays of three characters who were prominent in the making, maintaining and moulding the sentiment of this nation. One might scoff at the idea but we believe that when unprejudiced history is given it will write George Washington, founder. Abraham Lincoln, who maintained it, and Frederick Douglas who sowed the foundation for political equality for all. Speaking of Abraham Lincoln these lines of R. H. Steddard come to mind: This man whose homely face you look upon. Was one of nature's masterful, great men; Born with strong arm that unfought, battles won Direct of speech, and cunning with the pen. Chosen for large designs he had the art Straight to his mark which was the human heart: Wise, too, for what he could not break he bent. Upon his back a more than Atlas load the burden of the Commonwealth, was laid: He stooped, and rose up to it, though the road Shot suddenly downwards, not a whit dismayed. Hold, warriors, councillors, kings! All now give place To this dear benefactor of the Race. To mention Lincoln without reference to Frederick Douglas would cause an inharmonious chord in the harmonic of great American characters. If Lincoln caused the emancipation of a race Douglass fought for the emancipation of all oppressed. Primarily, his efforts were concentrated for the amelioration of the people of his Race, but as his years, ripened, he broadened out in the wider field of humanity. He was a tower of strength to the administration of President Lincoln, and his eloquence was one of the great factors in the moulding of sentiment favorable to the emancipation of the slaves. Having come from the shackles of human slavery he could pour out his heart in condemnation of its existence. It was through such eloquence as his that slavery became more and more odious to civilization. God raised him up to do a great work, which he faithfully performed; and in the years to come history will give him full credit for his work, done in the cause of humanity. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that: Thoughts are forces and each creates its kind, and the thoughts we entertain create conditions in nature as the thoughts that give them form. Now, when two men think exactly alike, one man does the thinking. We would not have all men to think alike. That would not be progress. When men agree without thought there can be no stability to the agreement, and that is one of the causes or so many racial enterprises. Agreement without thought: Men and women are carried away by the eloquent presentation of some project and without stopping to investigate the soundness or practicability of that project, give it their support, and then when they awake to the fact that they have followed some chimerical idea they berate all but the right persons; Themselves. If our men who aspire to leadership would bend their energy to the task of teaching us to think for ourselves they would be conferring the greatest boon a struggling people could enjoy. (Continued on page 6) PAGE----TEN Garvey's Last Stand Off again! On again! Gone again! Garvey! Garvey has lost his appeal and faces a possible five years in Federal Prison, or whatever number of months they may keep him before he can be paroled. And he certainly cannot complain of any undue haste in American courts, so far as he is concerned. They allowed him five whole weeks in 1822 to try and convict himself. Then they gave him several months in the city jail, in which to prepare his appeal. Finally they let him cut on ball, although he had threatened nearly everybody who had disagreed with him, including the prosecutor, and even the impartial and very patient judge. And then they kept postponing and postponing and postponing his case in appeal, until they allowed him to prepare his case in a great printed volume of three thousand pages! So that many people including Garvey, had begun to think that nothing would ever be done about it anyhow. But just as he found on the occasion or his trial in Judge Mack's court that volumes of spoken words could not stay his conviction, so now he finds in Judge Hough's court that volumes of printed words cannot reverse that conviction. Words, words, words! They are so big in Carnegie Hall and in Liberty Hall, where they are unopposed by facts. But oh! what impotent things words are, when they are just air or ink! We may be sorry that Garvey made it necessary for his career to end in jail, but we are not sorry to see him go to jail, since he did make it necessary. If jails cannot open for somebody when the ignorant and poor are ruthlessly robbed, then the jails ought to turn down. The governor of In- diana was sent to the penitentiary the other week, for stealing. The governor of Kansas is indicted on a charge of stealing. Washington Politicians and New York Millionaires are being "sent up" every week for stealing, enbezzling, misappropriating, defrauding, grafting, all those "nice" words only man stealing. Well, then, if all the rogues are to be sent to the penitentiary with the sole exception of those who steal from black people, that would be a discrimination against black people, indeed! And Garvey's career is no particular reflection on the race to which he belongs: why, some big white politicians and cabinet members in Washington stole more in a season than Garvey could have stolen in all the rest of his life. We believe that Garvey started out about six years ago with reasonable ideas and an honesty of purpose. But the egotism of any man is that man's greatest enemy. The one thing which no egotist can ever stand is prosperity. Egotism is a disease which grows rapidly worse in a condition of prosperity. We are profoundly sorry, and we fully approve the verdict. WILLIAM PICKENS, New York City, N. Y. February 4. 1825. IN MEMORY OF MY BOY Three years ago you left me dear, How sad has been my heart. But we hope in heaven to meet thee And there we will never part. Sometimes we sigh and then we cry, No tears up yonder and no sighing.

The spacious reception room of the church was beautifully decorated and the Stewardess board spared no palms in the preparation for the young people. A delicious menu was served.

The church is striving in every way to encourage her young people. Are you a member of the Young People's Parliament? If not, we are soliciting your membership. All are welcome.

INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Sunday, February 8th should take its place as a Red Letter Day in the history of the Race The exercises held at this church in Celebration of Race Day were of such a high order as to make an indelible impression upon the minds of all who were present. The choir under the leadership of its new director, Prof. W. H. Howard, rendered a musical program which can never be forgotten. The pastor, in his sermon of the morning eulogized, in glowing words, the virtues and achievements of the race during the past sixty years. We were urged to set aside vice and to place before us the virtues of mankind earnestly striving to emulate them. The evening program rendered by the Young People's Lycceum stands without a parallel in the history of Los Angeles. The speaker of the evening, Mr. Lekoy S.

Rozier, Pastor Despite the unfavorable weather, Pleasant Hill was blessed throughout the day with a good attendance. The Sunday School topic "Christ's Inter- cessory Praver" was so beautifully reviewed by Rev. Rozier, even the small children are equally as eager as the older when he takes the stand for review. Blessed with the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Ghost, Rev. Rozier still lives in a sphere to be pleased, understood and appreciated by all. Roy Rozier preached Sunday morals from Matt 21th chapter. His theme was "When will Jerusalem be destroyed? What is the sign of the coming of the Lord Jesus? What is the sign of the end of the world?" Truth the angel, of the Lord spoke through that Holy Prophet, uttering truth that the average mind of today is not capable to comprehend. Warrant us against false prophets, for if we know not the truth we will be deceived. The preacher that has not accepted the Holy Ghost into his life and is not lead by the Holy Ghost is false prophet. God will not trust his glorious Gospel with false prophets. Man has preached theory, dogmas, and opinions, but the Gospel of the Lord Jesus must be preached for a witness in all the world, it alone can save man. The preparation we are to make for His second coming is to swallow the word let it purge our confluence, our minds, our entire being, and have our robes made white in the blood of the Lamb. The mother's club headed by Sis Shumbrey met in the afternoon at which time Rev Rozier gave wife counsel to the mothers, admonishing them to be wise and peaceful like Huntley, a servant motherhood, not as suspicious the lust of the flesh, but according to the divine will of God. In the evening, Rev Rozier spoke from Rev 21, encouraging our hearts, asking us to fight on to the end, for we are truly on the winning side. Each night as the Holy Ghost dictates the God man will lead us into God's store house of truth for we are, blessed above many people. Come and hear the truth for it will save you, it will give you peace under all circumstances. Free dinner is served each Sunday after morning services. Missionary all day Thursday with free dinner served in the afternoon. You are welcome to worship with us at all times. ST. PAUL BAPTIST INSTITUTION AL CHURCH List and Naomi Avenue Rev. R. N. Holt, D.

Owing to inclement weather there were but few at Sunday school and divine service last Sunday. The lesson study was that of "The Mutual Glorification". Those taking part were greatly benefited.

(2) Reliable Faith, synonym Confidence. (3) Saving faith, synonym Trust. (4) Dependable Faith. Synonym Only Hone. These several points were scripturally dealt with and applied, and that much to the edification of those present. The pain hindered our meeting at night, therefore our communion service will be observed this Sunday. We are thankful that our sick members are on the mend, and hope to be out soon. We capably invite all to our services, especially the strangers who come to our city. IL D, PROWD, Pastor. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH Hemlock at 12th Rev. J. D. Gordon, D.

The B. Y. P. U. lesson was very interesting and all enjoyed the program given by the "Ever Ready" group. At evening service the pastor brought us another wonderful message from Matt. 10:41-42.

William Franeis Evans. 1 If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened 16th Episcopal District Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, D. D. Bay of Biscay, Dec. 25, 1921. On this day, the anniversary of the birth of our Lord, we find ourselves on our way back to the Dark Continent to tell again the story of His coming two thousand years ago. Our party, which included besides Mrs. Brooks and myself, two others, Mrs. Helen Curtis of New York and Mr. Lorenz E. Graham of the University of California, sailed from New York aboard the steamer Deutschland on Thanksgiving Day. We were forced to wait several days for a Southbound vessel from Europe, whence we sailed on December 15th on board the Este from Hamburg, Germany. I had hoped to send to the people of America a long letter outlining the work which we hope to carry out in the next few years in Africa, but I have been spent in body and in mind and so busy in working out the shaller details that such a letter must be put off until a future time. We are now crossing the Bay of Biscaycay and our ship is being tossed about on the ocean's billows as though the Almighty were bent on showing man his insignificance. The wind screams through the rigging, lightening flashes across the sky, the waves pile high and angry waters sweep our deck from stem to stern. This vessel which seemed so mighty in calm waters, has become a match bax, unable to resist or make a move in its own defense. Never in my thirty years of travel over the seas have I known such a horrific experience. I have seen storms that threatened the lives of all those in reach but always they have spent their fury in a day or so. This storm has raged now for four days, and in the night the darkness adds its perils. But the God who divided the waters for the Israelites and the Saviour who said, "Peace, be still!" have not forsaken us and we creep slowly forward into the face of the wind, very slowly indeed, oftimes scarcely moving for hours. It is a wonderful lesson, wonderful and terrible, as his lessons of times are: the smallness of man with all his boasts, the goodness of God with all His strength. If the storm abates soon we shall be in the Canary Islands in a few days. Shortly after the first of the year we shall be back in the field at Monrovia, Liberia. At Monrovia and to the North and the South they are waiting at the schools, they are waiting with outstretched hands for that which they hope the people of America will have sent by us, your messengers. And what will we have to say? We will say that the people of America have heard their cry and are sending their sympathies and their dollars to brothers and sisters in need. And for them I wish to thank you, to thank you who have done any small thing to make their burdens higher. God has blessed you with the joy of giving to thy worthy neighbor. That He hay continue to bless you and prosper you both temporarily and spiritually is our prayer. I am. Yours for the salvation of Africa. W. SAMPSON BROOKS. NEGRO CHARACTERS IN ANCIENT BOOKS By Daniel W. Chase (For The Associated Negro Press) D. Appleton & Company, have published a novel by Robert McBlair, which bears the title "Mister Fish Kelly". The author tries to show how much humor there is in Negro life, and claims that the Negro is at his best in the South. The novel carries the name of the leading character, Fish Kelly is not at all a masterful man; he lacks initiative, and becomes easy prey to any one exhibiting stronger tendencies than his. He falls a victim to a member of his own race a little higher up. In fact it is a man with little brains who had money, and a polished dandy, kind of slick like who manages the money affairs. Little the name of the other man who poses as a lawyer and preacher, simply uses poor Kelly, but Kelly finally finds a way out. Kelly marries and is still an easy 'victim' but the spirit in him is lefty and the book ends by showing that even an "humble" slave can strike a telling blow for his freedom. "Negrolana" is the name of a book published by the Christopher Publishing House ($2.50). It is unique, the name of the author cannot be ascertained, but he believes that the work will have a wider circulation if the name of the author remains unknown. The writer is doubtless referred to in the foreword as "Dr. Frank" who has been a southern educator for twenty-five years, superintendent of schools in a Texas City. The book is a study of racial relations and conditions and aime to contribute to the understanding of the Negro and the supposed problem which his presence creates in American life so-called. There is nothing in the book to recommend its purchase for library use, and there is nothing that will give it a lasting place in literature. The author expresses his views as to mob violence, is of the opinion that the establishment of an African Republic would be the correct thing, and has his characters committing, and has his characters committing, whatever may be the color of his skin, would commit.

NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION MEMORIAL Whereas, so far as we are able to ascertain, there exists in our country no active association or other organization uniting any considerable number of the thousands of Negro men and women who are actively engaged in the practice of ancient and honorable legal profession, and Whereas, we feel that there should be some such organization perfected within the near future. Be it resolved that we hereby see apart August 1, 1925, at the court house in Des Moines, Iowa, at 10 o'clock A. M. as a time and place for the meeting to organize such National American Bar Association and hereby invite all local associations composed of lawyers of African descent or colored persons to send representatives to this meeting, and extend the privileges to all such individual lawyers who may come to take part in this meeting, and Be it further resolved by the members of the Iowa Negro Bar Association in 24th annual session assembled at Des Moines, Iowa, that we hereby extend an invitation to all sectional state, or local associations or other organizations of lawyers composed of Negroes or Americans of African descent or colored Americans to send one representative to the City of Des Moines, Iowa, on the 11th day of February 1926 for the purpose of assisting us in celebrating our 25th anniversary or Silver Jubilee GEORGE H.

MANY COUNTY AND CITY JOBS OPEN No many of our group who have framed the statement that janitor and street work is all that is available for us through the County and City Civil Service Commissions it might be enlightening to know that this is far from being a fact. Many Now Employed In the various departments of Los Angeles County whose main offices are in the County Hall of Records Building there are at present twelve ARROWHEAD REALTY CO. 2522 Central HUm. 2512 an Fernando Blvd. to Saugus, take e to the big sign : EUREKA VILLA members of the race, six ladies and six men employed along lines of clo ical and mechanical work which is very creditable, and all of their sal aries range from $25 to $20 monthly. More than half a dozen of our folks are working under Civil Service in several of the City Departments exclusive of janitors, elevator operators and street workers. There are over 3200 white in the City and County service, and the only reason there is not 500 of our race included is that very few of those that are capable of passing the rather rigid examinations will make a determined effort to obtain their full citizenship rights. The way to obtain a worth while job in the County or City Service is to enter every examination held for candidates on work within your reach and after passing the Civil Service competitive examinations and being placed on the Civil Service waiting list, you must then follow it right up with frequent curious enquiries as to who has been appointed ahead of you just when does your turn come, what vacancies are to be filled next, and etc, without waiting to be called for an interview, as you might be overlooked', for it must be admitted that while the department heads are not keen or even favorable toward our admission in large numbers, still they can't lawfully or otherwise successfully keep some of us out if we will maintain a determined strong forward pressure toward appointment after being certified by the Civil Service Commission. Watch Monthly Bulletins The L. A. County Civil Service Commission issues bimonthly bulletins containing information regarding next examinations which can be procured at 1007 Hall of Records Building. 220 N. Broadway. On the fifth floor of the Bullard Block corner N. Spring and Market streets the City Civil Service Commission issues similar bulletinse for your convenience. Keen Informed Nothing but almost criminal neiglence prevents us from being in touch with these matters as does those of the other race. Over 700 whites took an examination last year in which but four of our group appeared and but one of those fo our mind and as their failures to pass showed was really capable of doing this particular kind of work or make appearance so as to impress a department head after passing the examination.

CITY If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened PASADENA By: W. MATT SOLOMON Despite the inclement weather on last Sunday morning a large crowd was out to Sunday School at the opening hour. As a result of the interesting teachers conference on the past Friday evening all were brimming over with enthusiasm to impart to the scholars their facts concerning the lesson. The singing as usual was full of life conducted by our chorister, Capt. Reynolds. Immediately following Sunday School the church services were ushered into place with a spiritual songfest by the congregation. The pastor preached a most wonderful sermon from the subject: "The depth of prayer," which was enthusiastically received by his hearers. After the nivitation song, "Nip" Simpson "hit the trail" for a full acknowledgment of the saving power of prayer amid thunderous Amens. The whole day's service was replete with surprising unevepectables, when at the evening service another young man came forward for addition to member ship. Thus closed another day of service for God. Mrs. Cassie Sweet is convalescing from a recent illness at Palms Springs at which place she expects to spend several weeks. GROUND BREAKING GROUND BREAKING The Ground Breaking of Friendship Baptist Church which has on two former occasions been postponed on account of inevitable happenings has been definitely arranged for the first Sunday in March at which time all of the church in Los Angeles and vicinity are expected to co-operate and make this occasion one of the biggest held in Southern California. The same program as pre-arranged will be carried out by the Masters of Cere monies, Rev. W. R. Carter and Capt. Wm. Reynolds. Representatives from the Southern California convention and the local Baptist Churches (white) are expected to participate in the exercises. Mr. Van Williams, chairman of Building Committee will make a further statement in the next issue of this paper. Watch for details.

Besides being an accomplished musician he is also employed in the government service in Oakland, Californii, where he resides. SCHOOL OF MISSIONS SCHOOL OF MISSIONS Wonderfully large crowds are attending the school of mission on Thursday nights at Friendship Baptist Church. At the last meeting more than one hundred persons were present, quite an increase over the former week, which was the first night. The large men's class occupy nearly the whole of the Sunday chool room. Much interest is manifested by this group taught by Capt. Reynolds. The Senior class by Mrs. L. H. Ferd boasts of having nearly half a hundred with an invitation for others. The young ladies group by Mrs. Williams is very enthusiastic through the activity of the many girls who are tutored by her. The Cecelian Class composed of the young misses of Friendship Baptist Church of which Mrs. M. E. Reynolds is teacher was installed on last Thursday night at the conclusion of the mission study class by Mrs. E. O. Solomona, Director of Religious Education. She also reorganized the Woman's Mission Auxiliary of that church and organized the girls of the intermediate class to be known as the Sweet Pea Class at the home of Mrs. H. H. Lamkins on Orange Grove avenue, after which a luncheon was served to the many happy youngsters. Fred Stokes and family left this week for an extended stay in St. Louis. 0----00----0 Much is the concern of the Building Committee of the First A. M. E. Church since the information comes to them of the contemplated move to cut through a street closely adjoining their property, however they hope to overcome any impediment that might seem to interrupt them in their building program.

Club held at the residence of Mrs. Austin. Mrs Austin was voted an ideal hostess. SEATTLE Rev. T. F. Jones, pastor of A. M. E. church preached last Sunday one of his usual soul inspiring sermons. The fact that his congregations were deeply moved is evidenced by the continued daily talk in regard to his wonderful discourses. Mrs. Emma J. Goldstone, a native of Xenia, Ohio, but who has made her home in Seattle for the past decade is enjoying a short vacation. Mrs. Goldstone is maid for Mrs. Marme duke who is one of Seattle's pioneer families. Mrs. Goldstone seems to be enjoying a much needed rest.

A., Meeting, Sunday, February 8th, 1925. Mrs. A. McGan and Miss Bailey rendered a duet which was very highly appreciated by the audience: President Posey spoke as follows: Being president of this organization it becomes my duty to explain the principles upon which it is founded, and wherein we differ from the many so called up lift organizations that have been organized heretofore. The U. N. I. A. is chiefly distinguished from other Negro organizations; in that they endeavor to teach our boys and girls to be good servants, while we try to teach them to learn to be respectable citizens, and to be independent men and women. A careful observation has revealed the fact that all other organizations, limited as they are in their sphere of activities, and a very good thing for a few who might enjoy certain social standing, they do absolutely no good for the masses of Negroes, in other words they seek to avoid the economical and industrial problems that handicap the Negroes, while the U. N. I. A. seeks to solve them. * * * * It represents the first organized efforts in the history of the bitterly despised and persecuted Negroes to rise to the status of men, and by unity of thought, unity of purpose, and unity of effort become "Masters of their own destiny." Therefore it is natural that the K. N. I. A. is not a perfect organization. I am here reminded of the opinion of Prof Kelly Miller who recently wrote of the "Garvey Movement" thus. He likened it unto a familiar religious song entitled, "I am sometimes up, and I am sometimes down, and I am sometimes almost level, with the ground". But he concluded by saving that an organization with such a bold fearless and cauricious leader as Marcus Garvey at its head. It is impossible to predict what will be his destiny. It would hardly be fair not to mention the musical classics rendered by Prof Goodwin and his orchestra on the occasion. Rev. R A. Garrison who acted as master of ceremonies in well chosen words introduced Mr. Hugh Gordon as the smoker of the afternoon. * * * Mr. Gordon is an orator of renown, a deep thinker, and a student of political economy in no small degree. We feel very grateful to Mr. Gordon for the wonderful constructive thoughts conveyed, in such an eloquent and forceful manner. We take this means to invite the public to attend our Sunday mass meetings held at 2 o'clock every Sunday afternoon at 21st and Naomi St. Next Sunday Hon. Fred Williams.

Advertising Rates made known upon application EDITORIALS LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS DAYS This week marks the anniversary and noble characters, Lincoln was b woods of Kentucky; Douglass was Maryland. The heights to which L results of his service to humanity. T This week marks the anniversary of the birth of two great and noble characters, Lincoln was born in a hut in the back woods of Kentucky; Douglass was born a chattel slave in Maryland. The heights to which Lincoln rose was the natural results of his service to humanity. The eminence which Douglass gained was the result of his refusal to remain in chains, for he burst the chains which held him down and rose up to his fuller statue and rendered a service indeed along side of Lincoln which struck the shackles of slavery from the limbs of his race. It is therefore meet and proper that our group will on each anniversary of these great men celebrate the anniversary of their birth. We are firm in the belief that Lincoln was the earth-born savior of mankind and that his soul revolted at very sight of human beings being held in bondage. Some have said that Lincoln only signed the emancipation proclamation as a war measure and that he was content to allow slavery to exist otherwise. As a matten of fact Lincoln was horror stricken when he first saw the slave pen and auction block, when making a trip down the Mississippi river and at that time without any reservation he spoke and said, "If ever I get a chance to hit that thing, I am going to hit it hard." He got the chance and sounded the death knell of slavery when he affixed his signature to the emancipation proclamation which made free men out of four million souls. Lincoln was born in Hardin, Kentucky, 1810. Fred Douglass broke his chains and ran away from slavery only to serve another soul in the mighty movement which chrystallized into a sentiment which ultimately gained freedom for his race. His voice unlike any other by its superior inflection rebelverated all over the world and joining forces with all anti-slavery movements was invaluable to the cause of freedom. He, though born a slave held many position of honor and trust and his stewardship reflected credit not only upon himself, this country but his race as well. Douglass as near as can be learned was born on or about the 14th of February, this situation coupled with the similarity of effort and the cause for which they labored makes it indeed a opportunity to celebrate the anniversary of these two great characters at this time. MORRISON AND HIS MUSICAL ORGANIZATION. A clean-cut and versatile musical organization is that of George Morrison now playing at one of our local playhouses. The fame of this great orchestra precedes it and has made for itself a distinctive niche in accomplishments for the race. Others might well emulate Morrison's example, he is proficient, studious, broad-gauged and uses every ounce of his power to further and promote race enterprise and at all times and places his service is even available to his people. We are pleased to have this great aggregation in our midst and bid them a most cordial welcome. SUPPORT RACE BUSINESS OF COURSE. We hear vehement protest of roads against business men of the white race when they from time to time begin to weed out and drop from their pay rolls the members of our group. We too protest against it, especially so when we are strong patrons of the business firms from which they have been eliminated. Our protest, however, is only on the basis of justice and right and at no time does it extend to finding fault with a firm for dismissal of anybody for failing to become proficient in their particular work. But at that price an empty protest is all that we have to offer and behind this there is a reason, that reason is absolutely a reflection upon the sagacity, astuteness and lack of enterprise by the members of our very own group. Prators tell you that "he who would be free, must strike the first blow," we will venture the assertion if we rise in the business world we must create business concerns of our own. The issue is clear and slowly but just as sure as fate places heretofore occupied by our group in many business places will fade away and if this is not an incentive to support race business concerns we fail to understand even ourselves. The successful business man of the white race marvels that the members of our group are lacking in concentration and co-operation and his admiration for the progress of the race thus far would be a hundred fold more were it evident that the race could demonstrate its capacity for building up business according to its numbers. The time is ripe the opportunity at hand to concentra along business lines give a strong support to Negro business house the stronger the support the greater business houses you will have, the more positions they will have to fill and after all in supporting race business. You are but supporting yourselves. We suggest that as a concentration has been made on the undertaking business, the evidence is complete as to the efficacy of the same, why not use the same concentration along any other lines of business, when we do this we will rise and build up business concerns that are really worth while, not unlike those which have been reared by the Japanese, the Greeks, the Italians, and so on. According to indications the Hon. Bascome Slemp, retiring secretary to President Coolidge departs with the everlasting gratitude of the leaders of our group in Washington. PAGE----SIX If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened By: Twinkling Star WE congratulate the Junior Branch of the local N. A. A. C. P. on its daring and enterprising attempt to stage Dr. W. E. B. DuBois" "Star of Ethiopia" We predict that this will mean more in a racial way to Los Angeles and its environs than any other single effort of its kind in the last generation. DuBois is an unquestioned authority on Negro history, and when he projects anything of such a nature, involving this phase of his comprehensive knowledge, one can sit back with comfortable assurance that its spectacular and artistic features will be negligible in comparison with its spiritual and educational value. The Los Angeles Junior Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is, we understand, a growing and powerful civic organization of young people, and we have no doubt that, with the type of young men and women of which it is evidently composed, it is in a position to undertake and execute big things. Young people, our eyes are on you. We shall call and inspect your methods soon. THE Fellow who believes that he is walking on easy street with every man to whom he throws down a challenge is living in a fool's paradise! THE latest feature in academic quackery is that you first earn an M.A. and then a B.A. This is what some little musical (?) darling—glorying, apparently, in sweet and bisilful ignorance—assured a few folks recently. These poor dumb and foolish "little tots" (?) knew nothing of academic life until informer by this startling cloud burst "from the East" that now, at a tender age, she had finished reading for her Master's degree and would be "through" 'after obtaining her A.B.! Our Masters—when shall we Negroes quit fooling ourselves? When shall we cease lying and shamming. When shall we quit downright faking and dissembling? WE understand that this city is now the host of one of the most scholarly and academically distinguished Black men in Christendom! isn't it gloriously interesting? IF we have knowledge, instead of illuminating the lives of others, we seem to want it concentrated into a blinding halo move our heads. What does it profit a man if he knows the truth and constantly keeps it hidden as he heads a deceitful and vain existence? Miss Naida Portia McCullough is to be congratulated on the musical talent accorded while she visited in the East. There are very few, if any, pianist in this city, or in the West for that matter, who can approach Miss McCullough in range of finished and skillful performance on apiano. AFTER recently listening with amusement to some decadent ramblings on "Negro Spirituals", we concluded that some people have about as much reason with a subject for a proposed discourse as a cat has for choosing hot bricks on which to stand! SPEAKING before the Ebol Club last Monday, Dr Robert A. Millikan, the noted scientist and winner of last year's Nobel Prize in Physics, maintained that the mark of true education was the urge manifested by the individual to constantly discover truth. Said he: "We have not had the scientific view in the past. We have jumped to conclusions influenced by preconceptions and prejudices". The distinguished scholar and thinker observed that "character was caught, not taught" which made it necessary to choose teachers of integrity, honor and intellectual force. To all of which we say, because TRUE, well said, Doctor! MR. Self proclaimed thinker and scholar, how much of truth are you seeking to discover? What about the cobwebs of your sense of moral and intellectual freedom? Get out of your little, narrow rut and drive yourself to the goal of liberalism, even though you find your enemies there! WELL, Sister Rowen and her crowd are just one more indication that all medieval thinking is not out of the world. As prophets, they are a disappointed lot. As religionists, they are somewhat vague on the difference between SPIRIT and MATTER. They expect to stop at different planets on their way up to Heaven to get food, end, perhaps, "wash up" before undertaking another lap of the journey. Now, we do not hold that there is much metaphysical certainty, but olks should learn a little about the force of gravity before committing such scientific blunders as did the tweenites. Nature's laws may, after all, be God's laws. WE are not surprised at the tadpole which is “dished” out to us from some of the pulpits when one or two dear great and scholarly (?) preachers among us shamelessly admit that they do not prepare their sermons. They simply take and announce a text. That’s all too obvious! MR. preacher, do you realize that you are stamped as a denominational bigot and as a fawning pulpit caterer when, either from your pulpit or through the press, you praise your church members so much more often than you do anybody else? King Solomon wisely observed: “A man that flattereth his neighbor spreadeth a net for his feet.” (Prov. 29:5) IF the good men did lived after them some of us would have as much claim on immortality as a canary bird. ONE of the tasks to which our in- intelligence should dedicate itself is that of driving, in a determined way, the EGO out of our so-called leaders. It projects itself in one form and another, because encouraged by ignorance and thoughtlessness. The form with which we are concerned at this writing is that pertaining to the selfish celebration of little incosequential events, common to the life of any individual. Every time we lift our heads we see some ordinary fellow publicly celebrate his birthday, or his first, second or fifth anniversary of ordinary salutied service. Everytime he passes a year in an ordinary JOB he flaunts it in the face of the public as a mark of his great (?) and mighty (?) achievement; he proclaims it as a sign, that, by his unusual (?) practical ability he has brought something to pass; he exploits it at the expense of ignorance and keeps on fooling himself and a few foolish people that he is GREAT! To be GREAT is outside of the pale of exploitation and unrestrained bombast and egotism. To be GREAT is to be outside of the circle of narrow prejudices, jealousies and envies. To be GREAT lifts us above hypocrisy and couples us with the simple, sympathetic Christlike understanding of men. It invites their cordial relationship rather than alienates and antagonizes them. Abraham Lincoln had it. Read his life, if you haven't, and again, if you have. "LET none prescene to wear an un deserved dignity". (Shak, "Mer . of Von.") LOS ANGELES JUNIOR N. A. A. C. P. TO STAGE GIGANTIC RACE PLAY HISTORIC SPECTACLE, "STAR OF ETHIOPIA," BY DR. W. E. B. DUBOIS, TO BE PRESENTED NEXT JUNE * "The Star of Ethiopia," a gigantic pageant, written by the noted scholar and author, Dr. W. E. B. Dulois, will be the feature of features in Los Angeles and Southern California early in the approaching summer. The pageant portrays the history of the Negro race from prehistoric times to the same time, the exponents of the Christian truth exploited her weaknesses and failures and enslaved and humiliated her sons and daughters to their growing economic and material advantages. From the sound of the African tom tons, symbolizing the barbarous outpourings of our course and uncoot emotions, to the elevated and sublime productions of Coleidge-Taylo's marvelous genius; from savage molleys to the cultured and refined tunes of James Rosamond Johnson + Negro music, expressing the original and now revolutionized beauty of the spiritual and artistic culture of the Black man, folks as the moving transitions of the mighty spectacle of our whole history. In five scenes and twelve episodes, DuBois' stupendous 'magery unfolds to us the dramatic story of our hardships and sufferings, triumphs and successes. To the white world the pageant will be a tremendous revolution. To the Black world its picture of our life will be a stirring inspiration. Its purpose is to educate each one of us - Black and White alike. The news of the staging of the pageant early next June, under the personal direction of its distinguished author and a corps of trained and experienced dramatic craftsmen, has evidently swept intelligent Los Angeles like wild fire, judged by the manner in which groups of popular ladies and gentlemen have voluntarily placed themselves behind it for the purpose of obtaining financial guarantees for the preliminary expenses attached to such an undertaking. The past week alone witnessed an army of capable and enthusiastic workers who, after aligning themselves together, are now out to ensure the successful enactment of the story of their suffering, but nevertheless triumphant race. Les Angeles cannot fall behind such centers as New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., where the pageant was presented with unusual success. Praised by some of the most reputable magazines of the country, it was the topic of discussion among 'groups of the most cultured minds of both races and drew the undived support of Cabinet Ministers and government officials, financial magnates and literary, authorities, Federal Justices and popular philanthropists, all of whom acclaimed it as the messenger of a new understanding between the two races because of its penetrating truth and enlightening power. Charles A. Biggers, president of Biggers' Business College and Twepiteth Century Correspondence School was the speaker of the Day in Lincoln Day Celebration at the Hyland Park Presbyterian Church, one of the leading white churches of Los Angeles. His subject was "Lincoln's Impishable Monuments and Accomplishments of the Negro Since Emanuplication." From all reports, Professor Biggers address to this large white audience was a splendid one and he registered high in appreciation, doing great credt as an orator and representative of his race at large, and for the Colored people of Los Angeles.

Our school is growing very fast, and we look forward to the day when this afternoon school will call hundreds of girls and boys from the streets and other places less desirous. This is only the day dream coming true, as we have long wished for this matured vision. We feel that God is pleased, as we are commanded to go into the hedges and highways and gather the precious souls and teach them of the Savior of the world. We are pleased to know that so many ministers and church leaders, are well pleased and are offering their service. Why not? Any one will wish to see the work of God progress. We extend a hearty welcome to all who will come out and help us to dq work for the king. A valentine social hour is planned for next Sunday afternoon. Eerybody welcome. Mrs. B. E. PRENTICE, Supt. Mrs. M. A. DUNSCOMB, Sect. COMMENTS BY WHEATON (Continued from page 1 But there are so many of our erstwhile vanguard men who seem to have no desire to encourage the laity to think for themselves. It might jeopardise their slim hb14 in the front rank. We had one leader, now passed, the late Booker T. Washington, who encouraged individual thought. It was an education to attend one of the early conferences when the farmers from the outlying districts would come to Tuskegee to give their views upon patterns of farming. That great educator would scan the gathering and if he found some diffident personage who was too shy to give public expression to his thoughts, he would adroitly encourage him and often, very often, some thought gem would be uncovered which would prove a valuable asset to the conference. Parents encourage individual thought in your boys and girls: rightly guided; they will prove a most valuable aid in the moulding of character. "Hat in hand." We hear that expression so much that we have been seeking some definition for its use. Many of us mistake civility and common politeness for servility and slavishness. Having occasion to visit the office of a man who wished, if he showed efficiency, progress, we were humiliated by the young man keeping his cap on his head all during the conference with the man who would have employed him, although we were in the private office of that man. Now mind you; every one in that office was uncovered but that young fellow who had a perverted idea of politeness and thought that he would be showing some sign of inferiority by the removal of his head covering. No doubt that young man, who really did make a fine impression by his intelligent answers to questions asked wonders why he did not receive that appointment. Well! He had a false idea, or a distorted conception between the words civility and servility. The position which was at stake required the utmost savvity of manners and politeness was one of the main requisites in coming in contact with his public "Hat in hand." There is a vast difference between the man who crawls slavishly and the man who makes common politeness one of his personal assets. You can not assume a position of superiority by boorishness neither can you enforce a claim of equality in any sense by obnoxious manners. Obsequiousness is undesirable, but false pride is damnable and should be obiterated from the minds of our young people who are on the way to a likelihood.

Munion stopped the White Kings in their tracks, but the game was hopelessly lost. The Kings won 11-6. Incidentally Munion fanned home run "Buzz" Arlett twice. Arlett got a homer off Curry in the inning and Lindimore gathered two, along with three other hits that gave him a perfect bating average.

Sunday at th e White Sox Park, in a game that was played in a drizzling rain. As advertised, Drake and Payne hooked up in a pitcher's battle that was decided in the ninth inning when the White Knaps scored three runs. The final score was 3-1. As mentioned above, "Dobie" Moore was n the calcium's glare all afternoon. He had apparently won the game for Drake when he ht a home run, that run beng the only run for eight innings for either club. Two hits and a walk to Buzz Arlett filled the bases for the White Kings. Then up came Faulk a weak hitter. After getting two, strikes he worked Drake to the three and two hole and of course on the next pitched ball, all the runners were in motion. Falk hit sharply to Moore who let the ball get between his legs. Before he could retrieve it two runners crossed the plate. He was so disgusted that he picked up the ball and addressed a few remarks to it. In the mean time, Arlett dashed in from third. The Sox were unable to score in their half. The second game was postponed because of rain.

Blivens hails from Canada and it is hoped that he takes his share of the purse and returns there. He fought Larry like Strangler Lewis is would Jack Dempsey. He spent almost every minute of the ten rounds hanging around Larry's neck. Larry tried to do his best but couldn't, the endearing hugs of Blivens making boxing almost impossible. Larry won the decision for trying but we bet he hasn't carried such a load around his neck before in his life. FRENCHIE'S KNOCK DOWN WINS Ted Frenchie, boxing a return engagement with Jack Lee won the referee's not over the plodding Jack. A beautiful right to the jaw put Jack down in the second round but he bounced up without a count and his fighting instinct carrie dhim thru to the end of the match apparently unhurt. He said after the bout that he didn't know what happened after that right cross until he came to himself in the dressing room. The bout was for six rounds. In the second go of the evening, Leo Vagues and Burt McCoy boxed to a draw. It was a very fast event with both boys on their toes throughout the entire six rounds. Willie Shields lost the decision to Dannie Karlson in the four round curtain raiser. Willie landed often on Karlson's jaw but Karlson had hite endurance and shook off Willie's leads and kept boring in to a decision. Dandy Jack Thompson and Eddie Sylvester are billed as the main eventers for next week. WILLS HAS BIC EDGE ON GIBBONS (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., Feb. 11. 19 Tom Gibbons ever faces the brown panther, better known as Harry Wills, in the ring he will be under a big handicap. Trained to fighting shape, Wills would be some 35 pounds heavier and nearly six inches taller. Gibbons at 36 is three years older than Wills. In this respect Gibbons will hardly meet the boxer. Yet Gibbons wants to be heavyweight champion, but he does not relish fighting either of the two Negro heavyweights. Wills or Godfrey, who, outside of Dempsey, says, the white sport writers, are the outstanding figures among the heavyweight fighters.

BERLENBACH ASKS POST PONEMENT OF TIGER BOUT (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., Feb. 11. According to a statement issued by Tex Rickard Tuesday night, the Paul Berlenbach-Tiger Flowers match, scheduled for Madison Square Garden, February 26th, has been postponed due to the withdrawal of Berlenback. The white fighter did not assign any reason other than to say that he will not be able to fight again until March. Yet Berlenbach is scheduled to fight in Philadelphia on the ninth of this month.

Note: Last week we published only a part of an article the same being an account of the basketball game between the Crown City Basketball team and the L. A Hi Y Club.

Club out classes them with snappy passes and quick shooting, Paadena' all around athlete who is well known as "Slick" Stocke was made captain this year. He carried his men to their first victory. He has several of the last year's men and also "Nip" Simpson back from the north who helped strengthen on the team; also Hawkins from Los Angeles.

Captain Stocks shooting six baskets, two fouls, and "Nip" Simpson makes three baskets one foul. These men were supported by "Kirk" Turner and Short, subs were Brown, Hawkins, nd Shaw.

The final core of the heavyweights' game was 38 to 7. This year C. C. Club is also trying hard to turn out a lightweight team qual the heavyweight players who were out on the floor for the first time Saturday. The lads went out on the floor with plenty of fight and played a fast game until the half, but began to weaken from then on. The Hi Y out played them but they put up a game fight as long as they could last. Captain Paul Ford. Bill Martin were the outstanding players of C. C. Club team, with the support of Ira Hawkins Lawrence Brown, James Price, Pegston Prince. The final score of the lightweight game was 13 to 7 in favor of L. A. Hi. The two C. C. Club teams are at hard training for their next game which is to be played in Los Angeles at the Jefferson High school, 38th St. and Compton, Thursday evening, Feb. Money Checks New Flowers-Delaney Go (By The Associated Negro Press) New Yerk, N. Y., Feb. 10.—Efforts to match Tiger Flowers with Jask Delaney, the boxer who stopped the Tiger in this city recently, failed, according to an announcement here Wednesday when it was reported that Flowers demanded more money than Tex Rickard wished to pay him in view of his showing against Delaney at the last meeting of the pair. The status of the fight at present is that it is definitely off, but Rickard in timed that other arrangements might be made to match someone with Delaney. Allentown Joe Gans is said to be under consideration for a return match with Delaney in the big city. My Pitching Experience BY: EARL C. GURLEY Of the St. Louis Giants In the spring of 1919, while helping to pitch Howard high school which I attended, to the championship of the city schools, in my home town, Chattanooga, Tenn., by luck I won the deciding game of the series. While leaving the field a fellow came up to me and said that was a wonderful game you pitched and you should be in the Southern League. I thanked him and started off, when he continued, I can get you a job, if you want one. I turned to him and said, all right. The next day he came by my home which was Saturday and said come on they are waiting on you, and really it seemed like a joke, but when I got over to the field where they were practicing for the Southern League, I found out differently. He gave me an introduction to the manager, whose name was Bishop. Then he asked me what I could do, so I said I can pitch a little, but there is a lot I can learn. He acknowledged that with a smile and said here is a uniform. I put it on in a little house nearby. After practice he said you will report to me Monday at 9:30 o'clock. Training season nearly over I really doubted myself when they were letting those that didn't make good go, but to my surprise the manager did not let me go. Well, the season started. My first game I lost, ten to three. The manager came to me and said you will have to beat that. All my teammates were talking around that I could not pitch and why should he hold me, but I guess he still saw something good in me, and too, I suppose. I was more nervous than anything else. However, with all that discouragement I still believed that I could pitch. Then all the stars began to falter, and to my encourage able spirit, I began to win. Then came a most trying test. Nashville at that time was tied with us for third place, and we were then in Nashville. We won the first game, lost the second and tied the third. Sunday came and a large crowd really did me a lot more harm than it does now. Well again fate played my hand. I won. That night I could send a telegram home to tell the good news. After a couple more months the season closed again and I went back to school. And the next spring I as traded to Nashville with a group of players. (To be continued.)

TENNIS CHATTER Western Federation Sends Charles Black In Quest of July 4th Battle Ground; Edgar G. Brown May Be Reinstated By William Mells Watson 1355 Court St., DRexel 3742 At its meeting last Wednesday night the Fed armed the chairman of the 1925 tournament committee, Charles Black with enough mazuma to tour Southern California during his spare moments and with the authority to make definite arrangements for holding the Fourth Annual Pacific Coast Championship Tournament, Saturday and Sunday, July 4. 5, 1925, in any town he decides upon, so he prepared for news soon as Brother Black is some detective and may even find a play ground right in your back yard. Brown May Return The signed apology recently published in Eastern papers which was written by Edgar G. Brown, National Men's singles champion, who was suspended two years ago by the American Tennis Association for misconduct; seems to have had the much hoped for effect on the A. T. A. the executive committee of which is soon to take action toward raising the champ's suspension according to rumor. This being true will please a host of net worshipers who believe the Black Bill Tilden has been thoroughly and sufficiently spanked for his misdeeds and that the net fraternity will profit by his return.

Amusements ~ MOTION PICTURES ~ Drama Music DANCES ~ CONCERTS ~ PLAYS ~ COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES ~ CAFES ~ BEACHES- World Famed Roland Hayes Will Sing For Angelenos PAGE----EIGHT Ann DA World F Great Tenor To Appear In Two Concerts At Philharmonic The greatest event of this or any season is the coming of Roland Hayes in two concerts to the Philharmonic Auditorium, Monday, February 16th, and Friday, February 20th. Hayes, the magnificent, regardless of color is one of the tenors on the concert stage in the world today. No classical event could interest our population as this one and it is a certainty that Philharmonic Auditorium will be crowded with members of the Race, both Monday and Friday nights. Originally Roland Hayes was booked for one appearance but the demand for seats made a second night a necessity. Even tho this exceptional artist is being held over for a second night those who delay in securing their tickets will be disappointed. ROLAND HAYES George Lesueur Smith, manager of the Auditorium Aviro Series in carrying out his policy of new and intercooling artists for Los Angeles, has completed arrangements for two concert appearances for Poetica Hayes the Negro Tenor, who without a doubt is one of the greatest figures in the musical world today. Mr. Hayes will appear at the Philharmonic Auditorium February 16 and 20. The circumstances of Roland Hayter rise to fame are of greatest interest. He spent his childhood on the small Georgia farm of his mother, who was born in slavery. He went to school and worked "turn about" with his brother, for the family means were very limited. He was perceptually singing at work and at play and the remarks of his friends on his voice stirred an ambition which he scared dared express. He went off to Nashville and worked his way through Fisk University, gleaning all the vocal training that institution afforded. He was sent to Boston with the Fisk Jubilee Singers and it was her that Hubbard heard him sing. The musician was so struck by his remarkable natural voice that he took entire charge of his development. Roland Hayes' debut was in Sympheny Hall, Boston, in winter of 1917. This, and a few appearances in other cities, brought universally hearty enthusiasm and commendation. Much encouraged. Hayes assiduously pursued his studies, and in 1920 sailed for Europe to try his fortune there. He landed in London unknown and with scarcely enough money to give an introductory recital. This recital attracted immediate attention. It was shortly followed by a royal summons to appear before King George in Buckingham Palace, and this put the seal on his fame. Thenceforth the public crowded to as many recitals as he could give, and each would be followed by columns of praise. Musical Paris soon heard 'of this strange, new figure of the English concert halls, and there followed an invitation from the French conductor, Gabriel Pierne, who wanted him for soloist at Colonne Concerts. Such was his introduction to Paris and a public which proved as enthusiastic as London. Vienna was his next objective. And again the reception of the English and French capitals was repeated. As the French were delighted with his utter command of their own language and melodic style so were the critics of Vienna with his singing of the German 'Lieder'. Surely a severe test and an eloquent proof of his mastery of the lyric idiom of the two languages. America has not failed in its appreciation of its great artist and a concert tour of this country this season has been arranged with over eight appearances, two of which will be at the Phfharmonic Auditorium next week. "STEPPIN' HIGH" REACHES MISSOURI (By The Associated Negro Press) Kansas City, Mo.

ALEXANDER FULTON OPENS NEW ANGELUS It is always a pleasure to record the achievements of Angelenos who make a name for themselves in the theatrical world, but it is an especial pleasure to reprint the comments on Horold Browning, who claims Los Angeles as his home. Harold as it is generally known, is appearing in Sissle and Blake's "Chocolate Dandies" which is the greatest musical attraction coursing the country today. This is his third year with the Sissle and Blake organization and he is now considered one of the best leading men on the stage today. Commenting upon his work, The Indianapolis News says, "Ivan H. Browning is the juvenile, agreeably crouning ballard with Miss Gee. His voice has improved in the last season and is pleasant to hear." From the Louisville Daily Herald comes the following, "Lattice Gee," famous Creole soprano, and Ivan H. Browning a dapper looking young tenor contribute a number of appealing solos and duets in their love scenes. Lattice Gee and Ivan H. Browning, prima donna and leading man, toulful favor with the audience, especially in the "Slave of Love, Number 2", says the Louisville, Kentucky Post. This week "Chocolate Dandies" is playing Kansas City and from these they move to Omaha. There is a bare possibility that Sissle and Blake may decide to come farther west and even to Los Angeles. SUNSHINE SAMMY Ernest Morrison, known wherever motion pictures have been exhibited, under the screen mule of Sunshine Sammy, is now a star of the stage. Accompanied by is father, Joseph, his partner, Harold Laquet, and a teacher, Miss Znobia Frierson, Sammy boarded a Southern Pacific train last Sunday morning. The ultimate stopping place of the quartette will be New York but Sammy and his partner will play in almost every southern state on route. The first stop was scheduled to be Houston, Texas, Galveston is next on the list with Dallas and Beaumont to follow. From Texas the party goes into Louisiana, followed by stones in Alabama and on up the Eastern Coast into New York. Sammy became famous while working at the Hal Roach Studio support. ALEXANDER FUL ANGEL Central Avenue is again ablaze with a musical comedy show. Heretofore we have had producers. Thurston Briggs. Bill Tucker or Pierson and Mitchell, but this time Alexander Fulton is the man behind the gun. Fulton's show opened at the New Angelus Theatre Monday night and he had alline waiting for the second show which means that the house was sold out at the opening. --- * JAMES LOWE IN CAST POTBOILERS' PLAY James Lows, local motion picture actor will appear in "Failures," a play of the speaking stage to be presented by the Potboilers at their art center and auditorium on Grand Avenue, near Ninth street. Mr. Lewe has a very small but important part in "Failures" and if it succeeds in getting over it may mean something greater in the near future. "Failures, a play of unusual dramatic strength, will be the seventh production of the Potboiler Players in their new theatre in the Denishawn building, 930 Grand Avenue. It is scheduled for five nights, commencing Monday, February 16th. "Failures", while written by a Frenchman, Lonormand, of the Pirodellian school, is universal in its appeal. Weaving through the sordid details of life which are used up particularly by Lonormand, is the theme a triumph of love over unusual depths of degradation and poverty. Unsuccessful in their chosen calling, verging on a starvation which only great sacrifices from both can alleviate, a young playwright and his actress wife find that most of the great adventure of living is as bitter as gall. Consistently plunging into a whirlpool of dark despair, they are as constantly lifted from out its swirling depths by the wings of their exalted love. But their moments of exaltation GOES ON STAGE lag Snub Pollard and Harold Lloyd. His first picture was with Baby Marie Osborne. Arbuckle used him after that in the "Sheriff" a picture that attracted the attention of Hal Roach. It is not believed that Sammy is lost to his first love, the silver screen. It will take about six months to complete his present tour, and the older Morrison retires to give out any information concerning Sammy after that time. Sammy and his partner, Harold Bacquet are doing a song and dance turn. The father has also frequently weked in pictures and was injured while doing a very important part of the jockey, in the "Dixie Handicap" for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He is entirely recovered now and will look out for the business end of the Sammy LTON OPENS NEW US Alna Hightower's Syncopaters were in the pit for the show which will continuall this week with a new pro- duction being rehearsed for next week.

Many motur experts believe that the general adoption of the four- wheel brake on American niotor cars will greatly help the problem of re- lieving congestion in city tra fc be vauge. it will permit greater speed wih no sacrifice of safety In traffic conditions, speed is gov erned by ability to stop and not by the power of your motor, says J.
