1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1929 DePriest Closes Western Tour in Imperial Valley CONGRESSMAN OSCAR DePRIEST'S TO LOS ANGELES TRAILED BY MOVIE CAMERA KID HERMAN, INTREPID MOTION PICTURE DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, FILMS HIGHLIGHTS OF NOTED VISITOR AND PARTY VOLUME 42 DePriest CONGRESSMAN OSCAR ANGELES TRAILED KID HERMAN, INTREPID M PRODUCER, FILMS HIC VISITOR A One of the most devoted fans at a semi-private preview of a motion picture last Monday, the 29th of September, was the Hon. Oscar DePriest, Congressman from the First District of Illinois. It was the gala occasion of the showing of most of the movements of the Congressman and his distinguished party, since their arrival the day before. The Congressman was deeply impressed with the excellent results attained by Mr. Herman. The film at that time, recorded the arrival of DePriest and party, from the time they stepped from their car into the yards of the Southern Pacific station, until he returned to his hotel late that evening. There were scenes showing the tremendous early Sunday morning crowds awaiting the arrival of the train; scenes of the reception committee, of prominent citizens, with their welcome banners; of the sumptuous greeting itself, and the happy response on the part of the Congressman himself. Then the long line of flag be-decked automobiles forming a parade to the Dunbar Hotel, where a sumptuous suite of rooms were prepared. The additional scenes recorded of the Congressman with local notables were too hot for words. Especially those with his host and hosts, Editor and Mrs. J. B. Bass, Stepen Fetchit, the noted screen actor, and Little Farina, the pride of the "Qur Gang" comedies at Hal Roach Studio. The scenes shot of the triumphant march to the Shrine-Civic. Auditorium was magnificent; showing the various fraternal orders in their brilliant uniforms and the large motorcycle police escort. Other scenes were made of the distinguished visitor at a dinner, and with little children. The Congressman proved a willing and clever movie actor. DePriest Receives Ova tion at Imperial Valley Winding up his engagements in California, which by the way, have been one continued triumphant procession reaching from Oakland to San Diego with ovation after ovation Congressman Oscar DePriest in the heart of the mighty Imperial Valley delivered his last address to California citizens. In many respects the El Centro reception was equal to the ovation which he received in Los Angeles which is admitted to be by far the most wonderful ever accorded any member of our group. For, despite the dazzling temperature of 114 in the shade, the enthusiasm which greeted him was full of pep and rang true to the heart. The Salten Sea Lodge of Elks presented a magnificent parade headed by El Centro's band of 45 pieces and followed by a huge caravan of automobiles they paraded the principal streets of the city and to the large auditorium of the high school, an immense audience had gathered and after the rendition of an appropriate program and addresses of welcome on behalf of the Mayor, one by the District Attorney, one by J. R. Collins or behalf of the citizens, the judge of the Superior Court introduced the distinguished visitor. His reception was hearty and sincere and great applause, punctuated throughout its delivery. Proof W. A. Payne presided at the meeting and dd so in a most efficient and masterly manner. The K. of P. took charge of Mr. Depriest and his party with a reception after the speaking and a trip to Mexico sight seeing and served a novelty luncheon at the border. Mr. C. E. Collier is Chancellor Commander of Pride of the West Lodge, No. 29. Coming Up!

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1929 THE APEX NITE CLUB LETTERS OF CONGRATULATION The anniversary celebration of the Apex Nite Club last Friday night, made night club history, according to Curtis Mosby, the affable and genial manager. Never in the history of the Apex has there been such a demand for reservations, table occupied with folks intent on having a good time. The eleven vaudeville acts that were presented, in addition to the two regular shows were favorable received, by the guests of Mosby, on this occasion. There is no question, but what the "Syncopated Wedding" being one of the outstanding Revues yet produced and staged by this well known "impressario" of night club revues, Curtis Mosby, and his able assistant and entertainer, pretty little Mildred Washington. The Critics who reviewed the show, have all been unanimous in their praise of this sparkling, snappy show. Mosby made no idle boast when he called his show, "The Greatest Colored Floor Show in America," for it certainly is living up to its name and reputation, according to those who have seen it. Mosby, Mosby's Dixieland Blue Blowers, come in for their share of the many nice things said about the entire show, but then that is to be expected, for such a wonderful aggregation of musical talent, as has been assembled by Mosby. The dance and musical numbers presented by these boys are "up to the minute" in every respect, and please the patrons of this popular night club. Many suprises are in store for those who patronize the Apex, and Mosby promises that every night will be: a "banner." night at the Apex, with something doing every minute. "Uncle" Joe Watson's Daughter Gets A Job (By: A. N. P.) New York City, Oct. 8-On the recommendation of Forrester B. Washington, Director of the Atlanta School of Social Work, the Travelers' Aid Society of this city has just appointed Mrs. Sara D. King as one of its paid workers at the Pennsylvania Railroad Station, one of the largest stations in the world. Mrs. King graduated from the Atlanta School of Social Work in the class of 1927-1928 and has been employed by the Brooklyn Urban League. She is a daughter of Joseph Watson, well known citizen of Albany Ga. Her selection for the new position is notable from the fact that this is the most important Travelers' Aid position in the country that is open to a colored person.

Dear Mr. Bass; I heartily thank you for the ticket you sent me to the meeting at Shrine Auditorium last Sunday to celebrate the "Fiftieth Anniversary of the "California Eagle" and to do honor to Congressman Oscar Dellriest from Chicago. I attenued the meeting, sat on the platform and was delighted with the entire program. The Congressman showed himself worthy of the honor that has been placed upon him. I heartily congratulate you upon the Fiftieth Anniversary of your paper. I have been more or less familiar with its history for the past forty years, personally knew its founder and have always desired its success. With best wishes to your good wife and yourself in your splendid work in the field of journalism, I remain. Los Angeles, Cal. October 2, 199 Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bass. Dear Friend: Let me congratulate you on the 50th anniversary of the California Eagle and your splendid achievement in bringing Congressman Oscar DePriest to the Coast. It was a most inspiring program at the auditorium, afternoon. I thought of the founder's Eagle. Eagle J. E. Moore, whom I knew when I was little, felt that his pleased spirit must have been present to hallow the occasion. Many happy and prosperous returns of the day. KING'S DAUGHTERS AND SONS HOME Headquarters 1461 E. 2nd St. Lakewood, CA 91340 Sep 30 1929 California Eagle, Publishing, Co. Congratulations on this your fifth-eth anniversary.

More power to you and the Soaring Eagle. Yours truly, W. H. SANDERS (Please turn to page six) CHICAGO, UMION CHARITY CLUB ENTERAINS DePRIEST AT MID-NITE LUNGEON A mid-nite 'luncheon, sponsored by the "Chicago Union Charity" Club was given in honor of the Hon. Congressman Oscar DePriest and wife in the beautiful "Eve and Ann Tea Room," Pasadena last week; bringing to a claimax a week of brilliant lectures and social functions tendered by the leading clubs and organizations of California. The Congressman spoke to a packed house in Pasadena, one-half of which was largely composed of members of the "Chicago Union Charity Club." Upon entering the hall, the Congressman was greeted by a unique club yell as follows: A ruba dub dub, Chicago Club; Chicago Union Charity Club; Chicago Club it welcomes you. Doctors from every part of the globe were assembled at Newark, New Jersey to celebrate the 34th annual session of the National Medical Association, the largest organization of colored physicians in the world. The slogan that "Newark knows How" was more than demonstrated. All of the public buildings were thrown open to the convention members as they needed. The work of the Newark and New York societies had been so thorough that no plan for the entertainment, or educational benefit of the society was left incomplete. The door of the City hospital were open clinics and parts of the program were conducted here. The West Side High School was the privately owned hospitals of the city both colored and white made the members welcome to the operating rooms and to the clinical departments. The Race Hospital made us feel very proud—Dr. Kenney's Memorial Hospital and Dr. Wrights Sanitarium both welcomed the body. Appreciation The California Eagle and the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. desires to express their sincere appreciation to the organizations and to every citizen who so splendidly co-operated to make the coming of Congressman DePriest such a magnificent success which it proved to be. Both this institution and organization feel that the coming of this courageous and striking character has been of incalculable value to the people of this community, which cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, and we are further encouraged that all joined in to bring this situation. SOME HIGH LIGHTS ON THE PROGRAM There were so many very excellent features on the program presented by those thoughtful, serious medics gathered to learn to teach, and to exchange ideas, for the benefit of the health of humanity, that it is hard to choose the high lights. Therefore we will just run rapidly thru some parts of the program conscious that there is very much of value which is omitted. The Hospital Association gave a report which review of the critical situation among Negro Hospitals, seemed particularly commendable, and Dr. Green is to be greatly commanded for his truly hard and faithful work along that line. The Life Insurance Association occupied an important part on the program. The Surgical section of the Association was particularly interesting and helpful. Dr. P. M. Murry of New York demonstrated such high classed efficiency as a master surgeon that all of the members of the Association who craned the amphitheateres of the Beth Isreal Hospital (a very large hospital) and the white members of the staff, were alike filled with appreciation of the work of the great surgeon. Dr. Roscoe Giles of Chicago gave a marvelous paper on Saine Proferns Encounted in Intestinal Surgery. Dr. Ruth Temple of Los Angeles gave two numbers, a dry cline on modern Abstractes in and paper on the section on that dry late and wonderful life saving operation, the Low Cervical Casorean Section. It was stated on the floor of the association by one of the members that as far as was known Dr Ruth Temple was the only Negro surgeon in the world who had performed that particular and very practical form of the Cesarean Section. Dr. Otis Miller of Nashville, Tenn. read a most intensely practical paper on "Surgery in Tuberculosis" Dr. Willard Love gave some most excellent, points on "Surgery." The Dentist and Pharimicest had a full program consisting of clinics, demonstrations and splendid papers. The entire work of the association made the members feel that they had advanced a year in Medical science as well as a year in actual time since the 1928 convention. AT HOME AGAIN After an extensive tour of the East following the session of the Medical convention with Temple return to Los Angeles. Besides many tremendously interesting social contracts, and pleasures. The congressman's address was one of the most pointed orations given during his several speeches while in California. He spoke bitterly against separate schools which has been one of the important issues in California, while his advocacy of equal rights by the method of the ballot, and not social equality, was one of the highlights of his address. Mrs. Eva Burton, president, and Mrs. Sarah Turner, Secy., of the Chicago Union Charity Club deserve much praise for the splendid showing and delightful luncheon given in the Congressman's honor. The club will meet Sunday, Oct. 13th at the residence of Madame Outley, 5410 McKinley Ave. The California Eagle and the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. desires to express their sincere appreciation to the organizations and to every citizen who so splendidly co-operated to make the coming of Congressman DePriest such a magnificent success which it proved to be. Both this institution and organization feel that the coming of this courageous and striking character has been of incalculable value to the people of this community, which cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, and we are further encouraged that all joined in to bring this situation to pass. We especially desire to thank the New Age, the Flash, the Examiner, the Express, the Times, the Record for the publicity gives; the Elks Bnd; the Elks Drill Team; the American Legion; the Lincoln usherettes; the Dunbar Hotel; the City Officials of Los Angeles; the mighty chorus; the Hearts in Dixie chorus; the ushers under command of C. H. Alston; Mrs. Lauretta Butler and all other forces for their maintained support and service rendered. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE, J. B. Bass, Editor THE N. A. C. P. H. C. Hudson, Pres. A. OF P.

Don't Miss the Fun, Everybody Mask. Plenty of Good Music. THE APPOINTMENT of Mrs. Juanta Edwards to the Probation Department of the Police Department by Chief of Police Devis, is a practical demonstration of the efficacy of organized effort. When this young woman was unceremoniously dismissed some days back, the president of the police department, and Managing Editor of this paper gave him the case before the Police Commission, before the Chief of Police and these officials all gave them a listening ear and granted unto them their request. It would not be amiss to say at this juncture that the present administration of our city seems to be and we can say thus far it has proved itself friendly especially so to the interests of the common people which cannot help but call from them expressions of appreciation. MRS. CLARA HULBERT, wide awake and energetic worker for all things worthwhile contributed her full bit for the success of the big, celebration celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the California Eagle, featuring Congressman DePriest, under auspices of the California Eagle and the N. A. A. C. P. She indeed rendered invaluable service for which she is deserving of full credit. We would also call attention to the very splendid service of Mrs. A. C. Richardson who excelled in the sale of tickets and served faithfully and well in this as has been her custom for all worth while occasions. THE BANQUET given by the Westside Property Owners Association to Congressman DePriest will go down in the annals of history as the most colorful event ever staged in this section. The masterly presiding of Attorney Hugh Mackenzie to the sudden and unexpected flight of an aneropile across the banquet room just before the congressman arose to speak. The felicitation by Mayor Porter, City Attorney Werner and his wife, and in fact all responses were well worth while, therefore again and again the laurels go to Mrs. A. Hill and associates for this wonderful affair. IT WAS a high compliment to Los Angeles when congressman DePriest declared of all places where he has appeared, Los Angeles was best organized to receive him and gave the greatest demonstration of all the cities which he had visited. I HAVE been following very carefully three articles entitled the "Negro Problem" published in the August, September and October issues of the Bob Shuler's Magazine. In all three of the articles Mr. Shuler declares that there are Negroes who understand him and are keenly in sympathy with whatever he says about the "Negro Problem." Fighting Bob starts his concluding article by saying: "It is difficult to defeat a proud race. "It is easy to put to rout a race that has come to an apologetic position where it constantly battles on the defensive. "The Turk has dominated all who have come his way, not by superior intelligence or by any native ability that is peculiar to this man of the sand dunes, but because he has moved without epology through the generations, ever holding his head aloft, proud of his ancestry, proud of his achievements, proud of the fact that he belongs to the deserts of the world's waste places. "Such peoples are the hardest to subdue that the sun shines upon. "They refuse to mix their blood with the blood of the despised races about them. The integrity of their mace is their battle cry. The man who marries a Gentile outside the fold is worse than an infidel." The Negroes who are so whole heartedly in sympathy with Mr. Shuhei's discussion of the "Negro Problem" that we cannot understand his motive for it at this time. In this final article, he again shows the Jew in by sitting that the people have been hardened in restricted districts in almost every nation under the heavens. We admit that to a large extent the Jews, in most large cities, that is the poorer classes, live in segregated districts, not that however because such has been forced upon them but because of their own volition, and in order perhaps, to maintain their ancient customs and habit and not because, as has been suggested by Mr. Shuhei in this last chapter, they did not want to force themselves socially upon the Gentiles. The Flags taken out September 29th in Which the cars were draped, is not the property of the California Eagles, but belong to the city of Los Angeles. Therefore we ask all persons who still have them to return same to Eagle Office at once. Motion Pictures Drama In a month of multiplied preemeres locally perhaps the most widely anticipated one since news of its enthusiastic reception at a dual opening in New York has penetrated here is "Hallelujah" a massive visual and audible epic of the cottonfields of Tennessee directed by King Vidor and enacted entirely by a cast comprising the pick of colored histronic and vocal talent of stage renown. Doubly significant is the advent of "Hallelujah" here because it marks the dedication of the Fox Palace, the only two-a-day temple of the talkies on Broadway, a gift to the discriminate downtown amusement seeker on part of the Fox West Coast interests. This innate theatre has risen on the site of the Broadway Palace, originally the Orpheum, which, with the exception of little else but its outer wall and roof, was wrecked to make way for the modernized structure, which is to be conducted on a policy similar to that of the Carthay Circle and Granman's Chinese. "Hallelujah" and the Fox Palace, with its ivory, gold and rose and toulum and lobby of modern ebony and aluminum treatment, opens to a brilliant gala first audience on Wednesday, October 16 at 9 o'clock. Fourteen months in the making, "Hallelujah" is King Vidor's first talking-singing production. It is based on his own experiences as a boy in Texas and is produced on a scale comparable only to his renowned epilep of the d coughboy "The Big Parade," it is asserted. New York critics as one have extolled the production and was extended in addition the remarkable tribute of a 5-page resume of editorial comment in the last issue of a national magazine of contemporary news noted for its conservatism. The story has to do with Zeke, a carefree and likeable young buck, who goes to town with the profits of the season's cotton harvest to shop for the household and is lured into a crap game at a dance hall, where he has met Chick, who acts as "come-on" for Hot Shot, the gambler. He loses all and in a frenzy over his folly he scuffles with the gambler, a shot is fired and his young brother, come to fetch him home, is fatally wounded. The repentant youth falls on his knees on his arrival at the old cabin home and his father, an old person, his mother, and the children gather around him, moaning, chanting, invoking heavenly help in their darkest hour. A great white cloud blights out the sun, and in this Zeke sees an answer to his passionate prayer. It is the charisot of the Lord come to beer him on to salvation. As the cloud trifles on the morning sun strikes him full in the trees and Zeke stands transfixed, with streaming eyes and a face creaming with the happy conviction that the frey benediction of the sun spells forgiveness. He embarks on a career as an evangelist. Thousands flock to his revival and baptical meetings, and to one of these meetings comes Chick, the dance hall, who was the cause of all his woes. During the hysteria of a revival Chick throws herself into his arms, a convert to all appearances. While she is being immersed in the river to wash away her sin, she clings to Zeke in a seeming religious frenzy but the light in her eyes is not that of a saint. Zeke forgets his vows and goes away with the girl. He works in a sawmill to provide for her but her old parmourn the gambler, induces her to run away. Zeke follows the horse and buggy with a shotgun, and stalks them relentlessly. The play reaches its high point dramatically in the great cypress swamp scene, which is epic in its terrible grandur. Daniel Haynes remembered for his singing of "Old Man River" in the New York "Show Boat" company plays the role of Zeke with a grasp and psychological penetration which establish his performance as one of the greatest ones in screen anthology, according to press reports. He has been understudy to Gilpin, star of several colored attractions, such as "Earth" and "Rang Tang," is an ordained clergyman and a college graduate. Six feet in height he is adorned. MUSICAL COMEDY OPENS AT LINCOLN ON MONDAY Toe trickling tunes, the hottest dancers ever, seen in Los Angeles and songs that the whole town will be singing, hurrying and whistling before another week passes will be the order of things at the Lincoln Theatre next week when "Hit the Deck" will be presented by the new Lafayette Andrew Bishop will be seen as "Bilge," the sailor sweetheart of "Loooob" while Laura Bowman will have an opportunity to exhibit her ability as a finished comedienne in the role of the cook, "Lavina" who sings "Hafleman." Another favorite who has been abtained for the musical comedy cast is Charles Olden while others in the cast will include Thressa Brooks, Rupert Marks, Lionel Monagas, Billy Andrews, Cleo Desmond, Claude Collins, Robt. W. Brown and many others. A large chorus of dancing beauties will further enhance the beauty of the production while Mosby's Syncopators who are week by week becoming more popular with Lincoln audiences, will furnish musical accompaniment for the new show. "Hit the Deck" had its world premiere here a short time ago and since that time has broken box office records in New York, Chicago, London and many other cities where a show has to be outstanding to do good business. The story concerns a pretty girl, "Loooob," who keeps a coffee shop on the water front at Newport. Her sweetheart is a sailor who wins her when he proves that all sailors may not be classified as having a "girl in every port." EUGENE JACKSON "CHIN CAPIN" OF HEARTS IN DIXIE FAME RECEIVED BIG OVATIONIN SACRAMENTO WHILE FILM-ING "CAMEO KIRBY" Eugene Jackson, "Chincapln" of "Hearts in Dixie" fame received big ovation in Sacramento during the filming of Cameo Kirby Chincapln says he'll never receive the liberal hospitality that he received during his short stay there. Many hearty congratulations to Sacramento, Director Cummings and Fox Film Corporation for the grand style that we were received. Mr. J. J. Worthington, proprietor of Worth Hotel, 727 "K" St. throw his door and made us at home. He says he is always willing and ready to receive people, of our race and has received several grand lodges while in session there. Chincapln entertained at the Senator Theatre's 5th birthday anniversary. At hotel Senator Director Cummings and staff were guests of honor; the house went wild with applause. He also entertained Director of the State Attorney, Mr. Lentz and his office force of the State Educational Building. He could hardly get away from them. He visited the Capitol Building; Fort Sutter, accompanied by his mother and teacher, Newspaper photographers of Sacramento Bee; Sacramento Union met the train on our arrival and took photos of Chincapln standing with his yuke with Director Cummings and Harold Murray and Douglas Glimore, which appeared on the front page of the Sacramento Bee, and the Sacramento Union gave Chincapln a big write-up. A great future has been predicted for Chincapln. THE COMMENTATOR (Impressions of Thoughts and Things) Ah! I see by the papers, that Sena ton Sheppard (D) of Texas, author of the much lamented (18) prohibition amendment, has just introduced a measure to make the mere purchase of liquor a felony. My wont that put the necessary teeth in the old enforcement clause, though. Well, boys watch your/step, if this amendment goes thru.....Lets give our O.K. to the Junior Chamber of Commerce cleanup, program, by instituting a Central Avenue Beautiful program. But we can't stop with that though. Let us have a real, most up to date and modern fire station at 34th and Central. That old house has long been an eye sore. Besides, it is a fire trap, itself. However, we are not hesitant in our expression of appreciation, to Dist. Att'y Buron Fitts, for his timely aid in assisting us in our desire for a cleaner and better Central Ave. district.....Mathew (Tia Juane) Jones, do you remember him? well you will soon have occasion to see you; will soon appear upon the silver screen in a couple of Warner Bros. Vitaphone pictures, with AI Jolson. Strutt Michelfi rejoins Aurora Greylees show at the Cotton Club. Charlie Witty, and the Four Harmony Kings are with Ted Leyis's show at the Ambassador. Marguette Jones; where is she? You don't know? Neither do I. Entertainers who really rate will do well to steer clear of these nit-wits. The "might have been's" among the movie players are again discussing Stepin Fetchit, while he goes serenely about his business; and getting along in this old world....Although we live a long ways from New York, BY MAURICE RANCER When Joe Jordan and his orchestra of twenty-two pieces synchronized the musical score for Josephine Baker's film 'The Siren of the Tropics' he was the first composer and arranger of our race to accomplish such a feat. There have been several shorts made by all-colored orchestras, but 'The Siren of the Tropics' is a nine reel production, that was produced in Europe, which took much time and thought to pdpare a perfect score. Jordan picked such men as Allie Rose, himself a conductor of Lew Leslie's shows; Joe Smith, celebrated cornerist formerly with Fletcher Henderson's orchestra, Miley the trick cornetist from Duke Ellington's Cotton Club orchestra and others equally as capable. This orchestra not only synchronized the music, but Jordan composed and arranged the entire musical score, with the assistance of Forter Grainger, who wrote the Lyrics. Joe Jordan also, trained a special group of twenty voices, who sang the vocal selections for recording. After finishing the score for the picture, the orchestra, singers, directed by Jordan and Fertler Grainger, made a two reel short that accompanies 'The Siren of the Tropics' as a trailer. With the advert of the "talkies" a new vocabulary has come into the picture studios and new terms are coined daily. While the musical score of Josephine Baker's "The Siren of the Tropics" was being synchronized at the R. L. A. studios, a list of "talkies" studio words and phrases which will be interesting to the layman, was complied. Some of the mere pictures-que terms follow: PLAY BACK playing the rehearsal recording of a scene from wax disc so director and actors can hear how the scene will sound. PATTER BLENDER one who writes the ad-lib talk or patter which gets the actor into his song. FOOTAGE EATER an actor who does a lot of talking before the microphone eating up many feet of film. GRIEF shooting a lot of stuff that probably will be out and which means little. WILD SHOTS action without a "mike." SHORT short pictures, one or two reels. MIXER man who controls by means of dials the volume of sound as it comes through the "mike" on to the waxes. STUDIOPIDITY- stupidity of some one on the stage which spoils a "take." TO PLAY AWAY FROM THE MIKE to place orchestra so that the music will not be played directly in to the microphone. LENS LIZARD an actor that insists on getting in the fore-ground in front of the camera. INKIES incandescent lights which are used in talking pictures. TO KILL 'EM to turn lights off. HIT THE DECK electricians to come down from overhead lights. TO LOAD 'EM to place the film on the cameras. LOCK 'EM UP referring to the soundproof booths or camera meters inside the booths. TAG ending added to the musical composition at all good. The South means to the producers of pictures about one-third of their income for their productions that cost hundred of thousands of dollars, to produce, which may mean a let up on colored pictures or will at least illuminate colored artists from appearing in all-white casts. Attention may be called to King Vidor's "Hallelijah" which was presented here in New York City several weeks ago, when the people of our race went all up, in arms, and claimed that the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production was only trying to be little our rage. This picture only played in Harlem for three weeks and is still playing to capacity, down Broadway, at the Embassy Theater where the audience is mostly white. It is reported from the Metro-Goldwyn's New York office, that because of the trouble experienced in the presenting of "Hallelijah" in New York, they had called off the producing of the "All-Colored Revue" which was to be produced the same as the "Hollywood Revue of 1929." Mr. Harry Ralph, director of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, was sent here several weeks ago from Hollywood to pick the talent for this revue and up to now, nothing has been done. Every one is now waiting to see the results after presenting Josephine Baker's picture "The Siren of the Tropics," where she dominates all through the picture as the star and not as a feature, with an all-white cast. This production was produced in Europe where there is no color line, and it shows the equality of all races. In "The Siren of the Tropics" the story shows where Josephine vamps the lover, who is a young Nordic away from his white fiancee and then it shows her rapid rise to fame and wealth as a sensational dancer with Paris at her feet. There are many brilliant dancing scenes in color with Josephine Baker in front of sixty-four dancing girls and the color schemes plainly show her to be a Negro. The Gold Picture Corporation is also expecting a ban on this picture in several of the larger theaters throughout the South but have made arrangements to show it in Amories and convention halls. After this resolution made by the Southern exhibitors against Negroes in film, it remains to be seen whether the producers will risk the ban and create other pictures the size of "Hallelijah" and "The Siren of the Tropics."

Friday, October 11, 1929 In The Social Whirl BRILLIANT WEDDING RECEPTION On the evening of September 19th the elite of society turned out to pay their respects to the season's most popular young couple, Mr. and Mrs. William E. Hall (nee Willie B. Hoard) It was indeed a gorgeous affair. During the evening about one hundred and twenty-five guests came to wish Mr. and Mrs. Hall a pleasant voyage upon the sea of matrimony. The young ladies were charming and petite in their evening gowns, and the gentlemen were handsomely attired in their full dress. The young bride was chic indeed in a specially designed creation of pastel pink and blue taffeta. A beautiful program was enjoyed by all as follows: Instrumental Solo—Miss Ester Lay (also accompany for the evening.) Tenor Solo—Mr. Elfie Lay Ethne Stain. Vocal Solo—Miss Anna Maria Griffith (playing own accompaniment.) Reading Miss Edythe Fortier. Sole—M. Ergen J. Allen. Whistling Sole—Miss Hilda Henry. Sole—Mr. Charles White. Sole—Mr. I.

Hoard (mother of the bride) gave a very humorous and enjoyable reading. Delicious punch, cake, ice cream and candy was served. Many beautiful and useful gifts were received by the happy pair. The two most outstanding ones was a baby grand piano gift of the bride's parents, and a wedding cake given by Mrs. Allie Busby, who has known the groom's family for years. Mrs. William Hall is the popular and attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Hoard of East Thirty-fifth street.

Logwood of Oakland, California visiting her sister, Mrs. Mattie Jackson, 1117 E. 10th departed for her home last Sunday, Sept. 29th after having spent a most enjoyable visit. ```markdown ``` No Place Like Home Bouncing from the California Limited Thursday arriving from New York looking as young as her delightful son Ulysses, who has made a wonderful success on Broadway in eccentric dancing was none other than the charming Hattie Robinson, with a most radiant smile which seemed to have been the happiest one in quite some time. Mr. Henry Robinson headed the line of most intimate friends to welcome her home to stay which accounted for the lovely smile. Mrs. Robinson and two red caps were loaded down with flowers, baskets of fruits, candy and everything imagable for one who is so well loved on departure. The girl, Jyda bidowed her "Au Revoir" Sunday after a sumptuous luncheon given by her sister, Mrs. Gertie Lamb. It wouldn't be a real world if Dame Rumor and housewives telephone gossip didn't exist. After the arrival of Hattie Robinson telephone and back yard chats have been some busy. She was elegant indeed in her dark green tweed traveling suit shoes and bag to match. A most becoming shade of tan was the blouse, hat and gloves. To make a perfect outfit she wore two fluge tan Fox scaris. Just four months previous Mrs. Robinson was enjoying a visit here which she was eloborately entertained. Her only escot during the holiday, was the former husband and father of the talented son. After the worm welcome Thursday night she assured her loyal friends she would give them a ring after the week end motor trip was over. Now the question is will it be to show them a ring? We wonder.

Ceo Desmond and Laura Bowman, the Lincoln favorites, returned to the Lincoln for the Sellyan-Goulding play "Dancing Mothers," and received a rousing hand of welcome. Abbie Mitchell, as the mother who rebelled against being pushed into the background, is excellent, and her wonderful talent shows to much more advantage in this play than last week's attraction, "Third Degree." Theresa Brooks as the madcap daughter, is excellent, as is Andrew Bishop, portraying the man-about-town. Rupert Marks as the husband, who, like a good many men with families, likes to play, but renounces his wife for doing likewise, gives a fine performance. His excellent characterization "The Mother in 'Dancing Mothers' is not one small part of the goose and spontaneity which characterize his every performance. All the women of the cast were beautifully gowned, especially Miss Desmond and Miss Bowman, who appeared in several creations. James Harris says he is seeking an appointment to the zoo (caretaker to the snakes) as he is an authority on that species of reptile.

The main auditorium was very cleverly decorated. Delicately colored crepe paper was artistically wound around the many fern and flower containers, the large and imaginable hue bedecked the pulpit, the piano, the floor sweet fragrant flowers everywhere. At 8:45 the program began, "Zion Awake" was the opening number by the choir. Scripture was read and servant prayer was offered by Rev. J. W. Wright of San Bernardino. The anthem "Steel Away" followed the invocation. Miss Martha Luke, a very talented, recent accession to the choir recited, "Go Ahead." Miss Luke, in her placid manner impressed her hearers quite favorably. A tenor solo by Mr. J. Langley was very effectively rendered. He sang "When the veil is lifted" Welcome address by Miss R. E. Young. The choir then sang the Welcome song. The timely words and lifting tone made the Pastor and guests feel doubly welcome. Madam E. Brooks, one of the most skillful musicians of the day, played an exceptionally interesting piano number; such accuracy, such poise, such velocity marvelous undeniably a genius. An encore was naturally demanded. plishing his vocal duet was then rendered in vocal drums and Mrs. T. Stevens, Mrs. N. Russell, another late accession to the choir, recited, "Keep a-pluggin' away." You go to indeed. Mr. A. Walker sang in clear, accentant bass notes, "He's Able and Will ing." Miss I. M. Marshall played a very difficult instrumental number. Her interpretation and rendition of the piece was so delightfully given until she was enthusiastically enriched. Our Pastor Rev. A. T. Hines, then for "ten minutes" explained in his usually charming manner the details of the trip. This concluded the program. The banquet hall was exquisite. Rainbow colored crepe paper was gracefully draped across the room. The tables, with their snowy lines, polished silver, glittering glass-ware, and dainty favors looked extremely nice. Willow branches in appropriate containers graced three corners of the room; the fourth corner looked oh so classic with a clear-toned piano in it. The entire scene was fascinating to behold. The very atmosphere seemed to bespeak honor, respect, love. The receiving line of beautifully gowned matrons ushered the guests in with an effusive air-not exaggerated. A collectable menu was served the fifty guests and chair members. It consisted of jellied salad, baked ham candied yams, baked pears, buttered beans dessert and coffee. During the repast the ministers and honored guests paid their tributes of respect to Rev. Hines. At blitting intervals solos were rendered. Miss E. Adams very sweetly sang "Rose in the Bud." Mr. Charles White, in a silvery voice sang, "The Indian Love Call." At the conclusion of the affair everyone left declaring it to be the best of the entire season. As I said before, honor, respect, and love truly prompted, such an ovation. The choir, under the proficient direction of Miss Ina M. Marshall, sponsored this most elaborate feat. Each member lent personal charm to the alluring musical numbers that were rendered. The four lovely young women who were ushers added oh, so much dignity to the event. Their exquisite evening frocks created quite a sensation. Their attentive courtesy and interest was the real key note to such home-like comfort. Their names are as follows: Mesdames B. H. Albritton, S. Winn, L. Brown, P. DeQuir. Mrs. S. Winn made quite a fetching little banquet hall matron in her naturally winsome manner, she reigned supreme supervisor of the hall. Mrs. J. Luke, as toast mistress was unusually attractive. Everyone caught her contagious spirit of joyousness. FOR RENT: Unfurnished 8-room house, including apartment modern, garage. 635 E. $5th Place.

DAVID BRUNSON, Husband DR. C. H. JONES, Brother ATTY JUNIUS JONES, Brother C. C. JONES, Brother WINDY JONES, Brother UNION BAPSTIST CHURCH 110TH AT WILMINGTON, SO, LOS ANGELES, CALIF.-REV. DEMPSEY, PASTOR. Sunday school was opened at the usual hour by the superintendent, Bro. Smith. All present entered into the services with that spirit of enthusiasm that brings forth results of which we might well be proud. The Pastor was rather hasty in his review of the lesson, thus making way for the greater services to follow, which began at 11 o'clock alarm. Rev. Pulan introducing the pastor, paid a wonderful tribute to the type of man that the Union Baptist church is fortunate in having as pastor. Rev. Dempsey took his text from the Book of Matthew 27:22. The text follows "-Pilate said unto them, what shall I do then, with Jesus which is called Christ?" He Christ is on my hands." The pastor was very much in accord with the Sunday school lesson during his discourse in having us to realize that we have Jesus on our hands and what shall we do with him? As he dealt with his bishop he sent home to the sobbing audience. Climaxing the day's services was the arrival of Rev. Bro. Rozier, pastor of Pleasant Hill Baptist church and his troupe of coworkers. We had dinner on the grounds and everybody had enough and some to spare, no one wanted for anything as Sisters Bailey, Keys, Evans and others were on every hand to deliver to the wants of everyone present. In the order we went immediately in services the pastor, who introduced Rev. Bro. Rozier, referred to Rev. Rozier's fame as one of the best preachers of Los Angeles. Rev. Rozier took his text from St. John 1:48; text "Nathaniel said unto him whence knoweth thou me?" It is needless to say that Rev. Rozier in treating his subject, reached away upon the shelf of do nothing and seized the cake and brought it down within reach of the thirsty souls and scattered its crumbs far and wide; and proved that he did possess the spirit of evangelism. He called for at the end of his sermon a handsome donation from Pleasant Hill Baptist church to the Union Baptist church of South Los Angeles. The donation amounted to the sum of $16.30. We thank the captains of the various tribes of the Union Baptist church for the sum of $103.00 raised in the rally. REV. J. A. PULLEN, Reporter PASTOR OBSERVES ANNIVER SARY The Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church Corner of Vernon and Hooper Avenues, will conclude the observance of the 14th anniversary of the Pastorate of Rev.

ROBINSON, IN EXPLANATION OF SISTER'S FUNERAL AND BURIAL. It is cue my friends to explain the reason they were not notified as promised by me, of the funeral and burial of my sister, Lila Robinson, who passed away at the General Hospital, September 25th. My sister's nephew, who came here about three months ago was stopping at the James Wood Undertaking parlor in Pasadena. He had already sent the news to my sisters, one in Buffalo, N. Y., the other in South Carolina and to his mother in Philadelphia. My sister had left Buffalo. I immediately notified the parlor to hold the body until my sister arrived, that I would have her make the selection as to her burial. Mrs. Wood with whom I talked said she would abide by my request. I knew that it would take about six days for my sister to arrive. On Sunday the 29th, I went over to the parlor and found all preparations made for the burial at 2 p. m., Monday, the 30th. She was already placed in the casket and the funeral was announced in the daily papers in Pasadena. Mrs. Woods could not explain why it was done and Mr. Woods could not be seen. So I told her positively that the funeral could not be held Monday, as they had planned to bury the body without my knowledge before my sister arrived. I went to Conner-Johnson's parlorers and signed papers for them to get the body. About 1:30 p. m., Monday, Mr. Woods came to my place, and apoligized to me for what had been done, and stated that every thing was arranged with Conner-Johnson and that he was going to turn the body over to them. We had a hansakeh and parted friendly. About two hours' later, Mr. Conner phoned me that he could not get the body, that Mr. Woods had phoned him that a Baptist preacher named Carrier had told him not to give it up, although he had in his possession at the time a check from Conner-Johnson for $65.00 for his services. On Monday night I sent a telegram to the Parlor 87 So. Vernon to my sister who was coming from New York. They sent the telegram back to the office stating she had arrived, there were no charges to be paid on it. She was taken off the bus somewhere (she could not tell) and put in Woods' automobile and taken to Rev. Carter's Friday, October 11, 1929 house at 2:30 a.m., Wednesday. She had been in town nine hours before I knew she was here, she called me over the phone and I sent a taxi and had her brought to Los Angeles and took her down to Conner-Johnson's; both they and myself explained to her just what I had done to keep them from burying her before she arrived. She plainly had me to understand that before she would refrain from being guided by Carter's dictation, that the forty-five years that had bound us together as sister; and brother was broken and so it was and ever will be. I was determined that my sister should have a respectable and peaceful burial, so I served papers on Mr. Woods, restraining him from burying the body Thursday, Mrs. Woods, wite of said undertaker who was present and five or more others, flew into a rage, snatched the papers out of his hand and threw them on the ground and said, "Don't you read them." A few minutes later they had two uniformed police there, one of them took the paper and read it and took it back on the ground. I came back to Los Angeles and the service went on, with two uniformed police, standing guard at the church police and only twenty-five per cent attendance, with the excepcional of the officers and one Negro police of Los Angeles and this is the way my beloved sister was put away against my will Signed—Truthfully. S. J. ROBINSON. 2113 So. Central Avenue. He Slipped Away; Friends Shocked "The days of our years are three-score and ten; and if by reason of strength they be forescore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off and we fly away." Seventy-eight years was the span allotted to the late Mr. Philip Green who while he had lived his three-score and unexpectedly to his family and friends in the early morning hours of Tuesday, September 17th, he passes on to the realms beyond the skies. Upon his many friends and acquaintances unaware of his illness, the news of his death fell with a great shock, to them as he virtually slipped away. Impressive were the funeral services which were conducted at the Beth Eden Baptist Church by Pastor, Rev. E. E. Burkhalter and participated in by Rev. J. D. Gordon of many years acquaintance with the deceased and his family and Father W.-T. Cleghorn who paid reserved tribute to the sterling character and lovable personality of a man whose whole career is the story of honesty, industry, self-reliance and perseverance; of one who loved right and hated wrong, of one who was a lover and a doer of truth; of a man who day by day walked on the line of rectitude. In attendance were scores of friends mace here where Mr. Givens and his family took up their residence more than twenty years ago. A gorgeous array of beautiful flowers attested his standing in the community. Mr. Givens was born in Kentucky in 1858. His father was a Baptist minister and when he was twenty-one years of age he became the superintendent of the Sunday School in the Church of which his father was pastor, in Neosha, Missouri. In 1879 he married Miss Cordelia Perry and out of that union were born fifteen children, nine of whom are now living. He is survived by his widow, nine children, sixteen grand-children, four great grandchildren, a sister and a number of nephews and nieces. Happy in the highest degree, he made all about him feel the sunshine of his own soul. His every act was in the direction of the true, the sweet, the natural and the gentle.

Christopher Columbus discovered America on October 12, 1492. But Columbus Day, although a legal holiday, is less generally celebrated than almost any other; and it is to be feared that if the widespread feeling that we have more than enough of holidays should lead to a call for the elimination of some of them many persons would vote in favor of dispensing with Columbus Day. This is not as it should be. Not only the American countries but all the world should pause on the anniversary to do honor to the great explorer, for the people of every quarter of the globe have profitted by his discovery. Columbus sought a new, short route to the East Indies. Europeans desired that commerce with the East should be facilitated that they might the more readily procure spices. They lacked means to preserve food. Their diet was monotonous, and spices were greatly in demand to flavor unpalatable food. Columbus did not bring Europeans closer to the East Indian spices that they craved, but his discovery gave them potatoes, maize, tomatoes and other foods which imparted needed variety to their fare. This is but one of innumerable ways in which mankind has materially benefitted from the establishment of contact between America and the older continents. But it is not for the material blessings that he brought the world but for the glorious example that he gave of courage and perseverance that the day of Columbus' great achievement should be remembered. He remains a model to be held up for the emulation of men in his daring to question the science of his age, in his willingness to face the terrors of the unknown. His triumph over ignorance and superstition has encouraged bold spirits everywhere to stand up for what they believe to be the truth and to face danger, if necessary, to prove their theories.

Among educational campaigns being conducted under various auspices is one giving every man and every woman a reminder of the duty of making a will and of appointing competent and responsible executors. The importance of this should be plain, yet thousands die yearly without leaving wills. Under the circumstance, their property is disposed of according to state laws, which cannot undertake to deal with the families in accordance with individual requirements. Frequently injustice results, with much suffering entailed. This emphasizes the duty of making a will. Men and women should realize that only in this way can their estates be distributed as they would wish. The chief trouble, however, is simply neglect. Some who realize their duty to have their wills drawn keep putting off the discharge of it to "another time." But a fatal accident or a sudden illness affecting their minds and rendering them mentally incompetent to the end may occur and, obviously, make it impossible to repair the neglect. While the normal expectation of those in their prime is to live to "three score and ten" or more, it is only common sense and common prudence to recognize the uncertainty of like. Although the drawing of a will naturally takes into consideration the certainty of the coming of death some time to the testator, it should consantly be kept uppermost that the whole purpose of the instrument is the service of ife; the care of the dear ones of the descendant who remain behind or the cause of humanity in general. The drawing of a will ought to be recognized as a thign not to be "put off."

It is ever thus when autumn's tints are on the leaves and work becomes burdensome during the latter half of the afternoon. To baseball followers in every part of the United States the playing of the world series typifies all the superlatives of perfection in the great national pastime, and their interest in the series never wanes until the final decision is rendered. It matters not whether the fans live in the cities whose teams are clashing for baseballdom's stellar honors or whether they have their habitat in even the most isolated of villages, the same keen, enthusiastic interest is all-pervading. Baseball truly can be termed the great American sport, and the number of participants who engage in the playing of it at some time or other during the season is far in excess of the number indulging in any other form of athletic diversion. It is a clean, wholesome sport, and no better finale could be given to the season's windup than the playing of the world series contests. Boys will be boys and girls will too in a few years.

COLUMBUS MAKE A WILL ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened COMMENTS Governor C. C. Young completed the personnel of his "Bridge the Bay" committee and with the appointments already made by President Hoover to study the feasibility of erecting the span across San Francisco Bay, the Pacific Coast metropolis is one step nearer to the goal of its ambition. The question of adequate transportation between the cities of Oakland and San Francisco has been one of the momentous problems. For a number of years different plans for a span over the bay have been put forward and as often been rejected by the war and navy departments. War preparedness has blocked every attempt of civic progress. Lately the rapid growth of the population in the bay area has compelled the "War Lords" to heed to public opinion and the National Government has joined with the state to study the project and see if some method of construction cannot be evolved that will give relief to the congested avenue of traffic and yet give a maximum of safety in case of war. Local jealousies seem to have been buried and both cities now realize the importance of concordant action. The personnel of the committee consists of two engineers each from the navy and army, and four civilian engineers. Aside from four laymen, War nor preparedness for war can long stand in the path of progress. With the international treaties now in vogue "Mars" is manacled and woe to the nation who seeks to unbind him. Does it not seem an irony on the intelligent construction of our laws when any section of the nation so construes them to allow the rule of the mob to be superior to that of constituted authority? And yet, that is just what the citizens (?) of Gastonia and vicinity are doing. They claim that the preaching of Communism is a violation of the law. But instead of haling the violators before the court of justice and there determine the fact, they load up their shot guns and other deadly weapons and shoot down i nmurderous onslaught men and women. Those who have a belief in the theories of communism are negligible. If the theories are without soundness, then the preachments will prove futile because fallacious. But the soundness of mob murder can never be agreed to and the revolting scenes which attend them only makes converts to that which is decried. But then, what more can be expected from a section which places a minimum on education for all of the people and circumscribes the knowledge of good citizenship. The indiscriminate killing of men and women combined with the orphaning of little children, speaks non too well for the Southern conception of lawfulness. One of the Southern California school districts maintains a separate school for Mexicans. The matter was called to the attention of the state department of education, and the attention of the Attorney Generel. Webb was called to the case and his opinion solicited. The Attorney General ruled that "establishment of separate schools for Mexican children is not permissable in California." He ruled that schools with special hours could legally be established for the convenience of Mexican or other children who work on farms, but that children must be permitted to select the schools they wish to attend and that such schools could not be limited to Mexicans. Now: it is hoped that that class of our citizenry who have not been acquainted with the laws governing the school system of California, and who, because of previous environs prior to their coming to the state, have advocated segregated schools, will see the fallacy in their continued attitude toward such, and cease their clamor. California bows to no state in the union of states in her efforts to give to the Nation a type of American citizenship which, it is hoped, will prove the leaven of the whole. One could never imagine a mob in California killing a woman because of her socialistic affiliation. They might send her to jail, but murder her? Never! Fanaticism is the handmaid of ignorance. It was demonstrated in a most gruesome manner lately, when in Chicago, a so-called Arabic or Moorish cult caused the death of three people, two officers of the law and one of the cult in an orgie of fanatic frenzy. It is alleged, that persons from the southern states, passing themselves off for sheiks of the desert gathered about them numbers of followers who contributed to their upkeep. It is said that the "graft" was good and a contest for the leadership of the cult was the cause which lead to the ultimate killing of the officers and one other. Had the ones who contributed to the treasury not been so ignorant as to believe the mouthings of demagogic fanatics there would have been no need for the killings. Ignorance was the means of working the mass up to the pitch of fanaticism which defied authority. There is much to be accomplished in the education of the Negro mass. When we have an outstanding character who attains to some prominence, there is a great song of "Hallelujah." The great mass still in the throes of primitive ignorance is forgotten. There is a greater work than the bestowal of collegiate scholarships. The rational education of the mass is of far greater importance than the higher education of the few. The educational fund of the fraternal order of Elks could be placed to better advantage by appropriating the fund to the betterment of schools in the rural districts of the South than by the giving of a couple of scholarships to favorite sections for the furtherance of fraternal politics. Well, the "Big Parade" is over. Let's review it and see whether we have been sane or carried on the wave of blind enthusiasm. We have reference to the California visit of the Hon. Oscar DePriest, congressman, Illinois. Has the parading of the congressman been of benefit to the group racially or to himself. Has the preemption of him as an individual representative of a single group enhanced his prestige as a law-maker of the nation? Come, let's reason together and consider the matter sanely, soberly. His progress across the continent has been heralded as a triumphal march. Where the triumph? Has the parading of "Our Congressman" with military pomp and brass bands tendered to increase his efficiency in the law-making body of the nation? Or has it not been a source of amusement, as well as pleasure, to the non-Negro who has viewed our childish glee. Instead of taking the official as a matter of course we have caused national amusement by our primitive exuberance. It has not been told in confidence but is openly said in kindly criticism, that the Congressman has allowed his tongue too much latitude. It cannot be gainsaid, but what his reply to the threat of the Alabama senator, Heffin, who threatened to throw him from the Senate rest room should he find him there, was as ill timed as the threat of the Alabama man was assinine. Congressmen are elected to make laws for the nation and no particular group. Should any discriminatory measure be proposed the Negro would be the first to stand on his constitutional rights. Let's be consistent; be citizens of America: asking no more nor standing for no less than other CITIZENS. The gauntlet has been thrown and the president, Hoover, has accepted the challenge to stop the flow of illicit beverage in the District of Columbia: Washington, it is claimed, has not been a shining example for the rest of the cities of the nation in its observance of the law governing Prohibition. It has been openly asserted that four-fifths of the law-makers who vote dry, much less the protelariat, look upon the wine "when it is red," and quaff of the products of the Still when thirsty. It is claimed that if the President can affect a cure for the ills of prohibition in the District and immediate environs of the Capital, a morale will have been engineered which will have a beneficial effect upon the entire country. The Prohi's and anti-saloon bloc are hilarious with joy, but the "Wets" smile sardonicically and bet that "It Can't Be Done." Here's hoping! (?) PLAIN FACTS BY: DR. RUTH J. TEMPLER Specializing in Women's Diseases and Obstetrics [NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this column to Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 803 E. 321] St., Phone, IIIU. 3419 or VA. 1221] There are some psychological facts which seem to remain true to form in all races, in all climes, and in all stations of life. One of these facts is that whatever the cause of death, whenever or wherever it occurs, if a physician has been so unfortunate as have been consulted at any time concerning the case then, to a certain definite proportion of the persons who knew the dead one, the physician was surely "to blame" for the death. In this world where life is so near to death, in this world where deaths are so painfully frequent, it is a common sight to us to watch the circle of friends after life has departed from a body. Besides those dear ones who came in to be of actual service, the mob of curious gather and before they try to lift a hand to help—they begin to talk. The very first question is usually, "Who was her doctor?" and then, "well, its certainly too bad he didn't save her. Why didn't he do this or why didn't he do that?" "If he hed' only done such and such a thing, why, she would have been alright!" To the neighborhood gossip there is positively no question that had the doctor only followed the cause which she considered his path of duty, that he had done such and such a thing, have lived. This kindly neighbor has been in medical school one day in her life. She has never taken any course in the art, or science of healing and yet she honestly considers herself perfectly capable of criticizing wisely a physician who has spent half a life time in the serious study of the medical art. Nor is it only the gossip who talks thus who blames the doctor for all deaths in the neighborhood. The better type of man or woman is very likely to do the same thing. There are two very obvious causes for this. First, death is a stranger to us. We one and all hate, and when it does come into our mind and rudely snatch away a loved one, a neighbor or close acquaintance, we are HURT, and we are filled with resentment! We cannot see God and we do not see the devil when we are hurt we MUST blame some one. This is the first cause—the natural resentment in the human heart against death. Secondly, the doctor is considered by a second creator, and he falls the response one to he, he has, to their hearts, failed in his divinely appointed task, and therefore deserves blame. In other words an awful catastrophy has happened, that is plain. We cannot get to God, we do not want to get to the devil so it is mischievous to have some one between the two, right here before us to blame; to our heart's content for this awful thing which has come to hurt us. FTEN THE MOST NELECTFUL PATIENTS LOUDEST BLAME As I consider this subject so many cases teem into my mind, cases in which doctors have been even unusually faithful, but in which the patient has been so careless, that you would have that she was not interested in herself at all. All of the work of the doctor, who may have been very seriously worried about her, could not get the patient, to even carry out his orders concerning herself. I shall site a few cases to illustrate. One day I was called by another doctor who told me that he had a very sick woman in labor which he would like for me to see with him. I hurried to the patient's home, and on examination found her in eclipsia (a very profoundly serious complication of pregnancy.) Her doctor had recognized this condition at once and knew its seriousness that was why he had asked me to come and consult with him concerning her. Without one moments delay, we be- un treatment, rushed the patient into the hospital where proper measures were completed. By very hard work over a long period of time we got a live mother and a living baby. But did the family appreciate the hard work of the first doctor who had the Use? No indeed! To state the case honestly, as far as I as a physician had been brought to the patient's trouble had been brought by her own hard- headedness and outward co-operation with her doctor. He had told her many months before to bring a sample of her urine to his office every two weeks and to come herself for examination. He had found some bad elements in her urine and had put her on a strict diet. The patient felt "pretty good," she thought, her doctor rather foolish to want her to go to so much trouble; so she did not go to the office, and she did not stay on the diet. Any way, her mother had one dozen children, without all of that foolishness and so why should she worry herself to reath? But in spite of the fact that she had stubbornly put her will, and her judgment against that of her doctor—when she developed a case of that dread condition—eclampsia, then her "doctor was to blame" and from the very first time when he had seen her, she had used her own judgment and refused his. She had done as her family and her neighbors said entirely ignored her physician, and yet when she and her neighbors had developed in her a serious case of eclampsia, she and her family were loud and fierce in their "thame of the doctor." A SUBJECT OF GREAT CONCERN TO ALL The subject of responsibility in sickness and death is a very practical one for every human being to face and understand perfectly. For only as the various divisions of this responsibility are placed where they belong can the great mass of the people—the laymen, receive the best from those guardians of their health—the physician. It is for this reason that we shall devote several talks to this tremendously important subject. LETTERS OF CONGRATULATION (Continued from Page One) 1468 E. 20th St. Los Angeles, Calif. Sept. 21st, 1929 Mrs. C. A. Bass. Calif. Eagle Publishing Co. Los Angeles, Calif. My dear Mrs. Bass: Just a word to compliment the California Eagle on its Fiftieth Anniversary, also in celebrating the same by giving to the people of Los Angeles a historical treat, in bringing before them the Honorable Oscar DePriest. U. S. Congressman, whom, we are sure, brought to all Angles, a message well worth the heart. I am hoping for you with your sundial ideas of Race advancement the full cooperation of all groups. I wish for the California Eagle, many years of prosperity, and that all of your efforts be crowned with success. CLARA C. HULBERT * * * My dear Mrs. Bass: To you and your good husband my sincere congratulations. Few people work as hard as you two have to unite the forces of your group. You know, I am with you and hardly a day passes when I do not scrap with white lilies to make them at least be square and realize that you are a progressive and deserving and peace-loving people. All success to you both. Yesterday after the fine reception given in honor of Congressman DePriest, the most fetching number of which was the song of that sweet child, the song of Welcome, I met my own dear Claud P. H., whom I had known in Calexico, then welcomed him back as a soldier. How we rejoiced in each other's reunion. Well, you will see me soon to talk over Honolulu matters. Meanwhile, I thank you sincerely for having given me the opportunity of a Sunday afternoon well spent for and among people whose cause I have mad my own. As I said in one of my letters to you, it's a case of Multiply and Fight if necessary. Victory must come. Cordially and devotedly. Yours for racial equality. JULIUS C. BEHNKE. THE GARY AMERICAN Gary, Indiana. October 2, 1929. My dear Mrs. Bass: Please accept my congratulations upon the fiftieth anniversary of The California, Eagle. Any Negro newspaper which can exist for fifty years, in the face of indifference on the part of some and distrust on the part of others, deserves high praise. Few people realize the amount of hard work, study and application that must go into the conduct or the building of a great newspaper, which is like an unrelenting machine that makes unceasing demand upon those who gather, write and edit its news. Los Angeles has had many publications of one type or another. It was the Waterloo of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., who, with millions found the way impossible. In the City of Angels, a fickle public is quick to --- Friday, October 11, 1929 NEGRO PHILOSOPHY BY: THE DEACON Why spend any money Sending missionaries abroad To teach the happy heathen How to serve our Lord. With a Bible in one hand And a sword in the other We rob him of his birth-right And then call him brother. The heathen doesn't know How to lie or steal Until he is imbued With the missionary zeal. There is no lynch law In heathen lands No mob violence, Or Ku Klux Klan. There are no Jim Crow cars And no separate schools There is no segregation In the swimming pools. There are no scandal-mongers To poison the mind Of race against race And man against mankind. There are no bootleggers No grafting police No Thomas Heffins And no Cole Blease. The heathens are happy Without mansions in the skies, And "when ignorance is bliss" "Tis folly to be wise." We lie and steal Whenever we can And delight in oppressing Our fellow-man. We lynch human beings Chain them to a stake Saturate them with oil And a bon-fire make. We want everything separate For black and white. And we work on the principle That might makes right. We violate the laws Of both God and man And then to ease our conscience We organize a missionary band.

Call the missionaries home Or take a stand For the Fatherhood of God Ang the Brotherhood of man. welcome new journalistic ventures and applaud them for a moment, but when the newness has worn off, the newcomer gets very little notice, and unless it possesses the pristine vigor of a great soul, it soon perishes. Although new publications have come and gone in an unbroken line of successive failures, the Eagle has remained. It is this nautilus life of The California Eagle that is most impressive to me, for, like the great redwood trees of California, with their memorable rings telling of past seasons and eras, with their scars and lean years, it still stands, at once the guardian of the cultural bequests of a brave past and the sentry of the listening post envisioning the future and interpreting it in terms of future glory, its head among the clouds maybe, but its roots firmly imbedded in solid ground. The Eagle is impersonal; it is an institution, "the fourth estate." There is no capital "I" in its alphabet, so an humble oarsman of the gallery—bound by chains whose every pinch is a caress—mily, without appearing to cast a boomeranging bouquet, declare: With wonderful deathless ditties You build up a world's great city And out of a fabulous story You fashion an empire's glory. Yours cordially. CHAUNCEY TOWNSEND. Mrs. Charlotte Spoor-Bars, Manag ing Editor. The California Engle, Los Angeles, Calif. Musical Education John A. Gray, prominent musician who recently returned from two years study in Europe is offering complete courses in musical education. Of special interest is the course in Solfegie for singers, violinists, and players of orchestral instruments. Solfegie teaches, musical notation, ear-training sight singing, rhythm, transposition, musical dictation, elementary harmony, in fact all the fundamentals of musical theory. Mr. Gray uses the French system which develops absolute pitch and lays the foundation for all musical training. Classes are now forming for solfegie at the rate of 25 cents per lesson. Classes in harmony and piano are also forming. Owing to the insistent demands for lessons in the French language Mr. Gray has decided to form a class in conversational French which will be limited to serious students. Studio is located at 766 E. 18th Street - ATHLITE 7666. --- "OLE VIRGINNY" BY: IDELL A. BATEMAN "Carry me back to Ole Virginny. Dah's whah de cotton, corn and sweet potatoes grow. Dah's whah de Lirds warble sweet in de springtime. Dah's whah die ole darkey's hart goes long to go." AU REVOIR CHICAGO P Cleveland, Ohio It wasn't long ledge of a certain class of folk of open spaces, but I received know- ledge of a certain class of folk of color known as the "Dikties." The Dikties of Cleveland may be listed in the same category with the "High brown," "the Swells," the "Snobs, "Upper Tens" or the "400's" of other communities. I was told, quite seriously so, in hushed tones of great import, while we passed through a certain neighborhood, that the people there "owned their own homes" and were therefore known as the "Digles." The idea was amusing to me. The thought of the ownership of a home as distinguishing any being above another had never occurred to me. Our West where everyone, who intends to abide a year or two, buys a home to keep from paying for it, without getting the deeds, homes are so common that they lose their valuation, I suppose. The neighborhood under discussion appeared to me like so many neighborhoods throughout the country of old fashioned big roomed high cellinged inconvenient houses where "who folks" having lived and died for many generations, upon deciding to migrate to newer, cleaner, more attractive parts of the city, sell all that is left of their dirt, rot and germs to eager black purchasers at fabulous sums of gold and green-back. That anything so little, should really turn the heads of sensible folk causing them to grasp their skirts in passing that they might not touch and be contaminated by some poor, unfortunate who still pinches out his little dribbles monthly; feeding the greedy who was inconceivable. The pathetic pride of such people touched me sorrelly. It did not stop in the neighborhood, stitting the social relationship only. Verily, it entered into the House of God, so that certain churches were pointed out as those of the "Ditries." A low-brow, I was told, would be made to feel very much out-of-place, should he, by accident stumble into one of these houses of man; dedicated to the Lowly Nazarese, born in a manger: who had not where to lay His head. New York J. ALLEN REESE You have seen nothing like New York City unless you have seen New York. A big city, crammed full of interest, Wall Street, from whose financial center the money markets of the world take their orders, Metropolitan Life Insurance tower housing, "the light that never fails," Woolworth's $8 story building, the Flat front, building, Warnamaker's, Brooklyn Bridge, Riverside Drive, five million human souls within her borders rushing from morn'ull night and all over again from night'ull morning is New York. Here, as in all of the big, centers, transportation is a problem but New York has done much to facilitate matrery the operation of its extensive subway surface and elevated railway systems. Central and Bronx Parks, Double Deck Bushes on fashionable Fifth Ave, the Statue of Liberty on Bledsoe Island, Grant's Tomb and Harlem unmistakably emphasize the individuality of this community and it is well in the vanguard of other metropolitan, communities in the application of engineering skill, rapid transportation and architectural attainment. Here we find the Negro carving a niche in present day civilization. We note the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and office of the National Urban League. Here the "Crisis", "Opportunity", The New York Age" and the Amsterdam News are published. The life story of Alice Foot McDougal proves very interesting and among other things, ten years ago she went from office to office down town to work in the company of the companies. Today this woman is giving employment to 475 "brown-skinned Negro girls" who serve as waitresses in the five Tea Gardens of the Alice Foot McDougal Corporation. Besties these girls many of the group are employed as chefs and waffle makers. Harlem. Here we virtually have a city within a city for Harlem's black population is far in excess of the population of many of the larger cities of the country. Lenox Avenue seems the artery which most of the inhabitants traverse though 7th and 8th streets are by no means neglected. At 8 P. M. on Saturday we saw more Negro on 9th and 10th streets than we find of the white population on Spring between 5th and 6th streets any day at 4 P. M. Negroes are engaged in every imaginable livelihood in this vicinity and their chief competitor is the Jew, Harlem Station of the Post Office is manned from *turnover* members of the army. In the profession of groves have distinguished themselves and St. Vincent Hospital is an evidence thereof. Housing conditions in my opinion are better than in many of the cities where the influx of Negro population has been felt. Tuskegee Inst., Ala., Oct. 11.—By ANR.—Clad in the garb which she wore in the hinterland of Liberia Kikat shift, hiding breeches, kna-shad, leather boots. Miss Rebecca E. Davis, former Jeanes worker in the African republic, lectured to students of Tuskegee Institute Sunday evening on the mammals and customs of the peoples of Liberia and the resources and potentialities of the country. Miss Davis has recently returned from Liberia, where she introduced educational methods among the rural schools similar to those which the Anna T. Jeanes Foundation sponsors among rural schools for Negroes of the South. Prior to her appointment to African service she had been a Jeanes worker in Tennessee and a social worker in the City of Cleveland. Liberia needs such a school as Tuskegee Institute and men with the spirit of Booker T. Washington, Miss Davis said. This is what we are trying to develop at the new Booker T. Washington Agricultural and Industrial Institute at Kakata where the youth of the country will be trained to become intelligent producers. The African is a race from whom the American Negro may well be proud to have descended. They are little looking people stalker and well built, intelligent, and well manned. And in regions where they are entouched by white civilization lying and tarsery are unknown. Miss Davis paid tribute to the memorial of James T. Tablesley educational officer who was associated in New York, and who recently died of yellow fever a martyr to education in Africa. superior officers and were to get all the glory and the rewards. But while the whites were raucous and cuckolding each other, Masa harangues the native soldiers and leads them in an attack which wipes out the whites, all except the weakening Lucien, whom Yaja out of pity saved. It is noticeable that as soon as Masa reappeared, Yaja, who had supposed him dead, took her first opportunity to leave her last white man and return to him. He was the only man whom she had ever loved and respected. But Masa, while he understood the situation, was so absorbed in his great aim that he had no immediate use or time for Yaja, and the story actually concluded (un-American again!) without having the black man to take up again with this strayed black wife, whom he had once loved as the apple of his eye. There is no effort made in this whole story to still or protect or white supporter. It is just a story of two cultures of humans brilliant, even to each other, hidden under a mask of social formalities and polite formulas; but more social and of other matters than the murder and the more merciless than the direct killings of the savages, the wiser blacks noticed that the whites dagger each other with terrible words and concealed thrusts. And the greatest disillusionment of all was to watch the way of the white masters with the black woman. It would seem that the black woman is the nemesis of the white man in such a situation. As the whites concealed their selfish thrusts and brutal rivals under clothing of social formalities, so they clothed their animal bodies, under pretentious garments; while the blacks, pressed in their lacerated features and tattooed bellies, do not suffer much by comparisons. The story is "different" because it describes the drama in the clash of two differing cultures, without trying to prove anything.

If I knew you and you know me what beautiful friends we would be. This is a country to you and I, coming through the California Eagle that we may get in close touch with one other. Therefore I am asking this favor of you because I am one of you. If you are the pastor of a church, president of a lodge or club, leader of a missionary society or business group, owner of a pool or dance hall, I have a message for you, that will do you good. The favor I ask is just a few minutes to talk to you in your gatherings. The secret care of all the world's ill has been given to man many centuries ago, but never has been tried totally. I am using this panacea as a basis for my life work. I teach, preach and practice it and it has worked for me and I know it will work for you, individually and collectively. But you will have to practice it regularly everyday as you would take the medicine prescribed by your physician, if you wore ill. Do it with faith, hope and love. We say we want freedom, we want our rights (if there is any such thing) we want this and we want that. Well, we may have anything we desire, if we know how to go about getting it. The secret is in the penacea I am going to ask you now to try. Are you ready to try it? Here it is. Found in the Bible the greatest of all Books. This question was asked the Master—Which is the first commandment of all? Jesus, answered him. The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord; And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength; this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self, there is none other commandment greater than these. And the scribes said unto him, well, Master, thou hast said the truth; for there is one God; and there is none other but he, and to love him with all their heart and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offering and sacrifice. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him. Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. Adced to this, do unto others as you would have them do unto you put you into the Kingdom, and the Kingdom of God is in you. It is righteousness peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. This is the remedy try it. Get your Bible and read it, and read it again and again Mark 12:28-34. Jesus Christ is the way shower, to love, joy, peace and happiness. You say it can be done O, yes it can. You haven’t tried it. This is the Golden rule and it works. Let us try it, begin now, every day every hour think about it, talk about it, act that way because it not been done is no reason why it cannot be done. If you will do this there is no that can stand against your world’s ill. Mentally, spiritually, morally, politically, industrially and financially. Memories those times and times again. Let your motto be love to God and you be to love, what he is and where he is. Until then think on these things: California Eagle.

After all, the Negro, in his simple, unsophisticated way, has developed out of the American milieu a form of expression a mood, a literary genre, a folk-tradition that are distinctly and undeniably American."

Negroes Rally to Morehouse Drive (By: A. N. P.) Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 9—Dr. John Hope anouncees that the campaign to se- curce $600,000 in additional endowment for Morehouse College is progressing rapidly.

At present campaigns to be launched during the 'all' are being planned for several larger cities of the North. One gratifying feature of the campaign is that so many of the students who pledged last year made substantial payments on their pledges from their earnings during the summer, and a recent checkup reveals that payments on all other pledges have come in rather promptly. Morehouse hopes that this generosity and promptness in pledges and payments will continue throughout the campaign. Worth Telling the World! Direct from Factory!

Figuerda St. Los Angeles Curtis Mosby king of Nite Clubs, did himself noble last Friday night at his beautiful Apex night club on Central Avenue, when he celebrates his first anniversary. The club was just one year old on October the 4th. Mosby is the man that had made something go where others had failed. Curtis stuck at the game and worked hard. His wonderful band stuck by him in the Jean days and helped the headsmack chick. Beyond a doubt Curtis has the best dance band on the Pacific Coast and it gets better every week. Two of the outstanding members of Mosby's famous bane are John Porter and C. L. Berks Porter plays the cornet and Berks plays the banjo and they are past masters on their instruments. Porter has the reputation of making his golden horn talk, so good is he. One of his favorite numbers is Deep Henderson and the little fat player really gets away. C. L. is a strummer right on out of this world on the banjo and none on the coast can compare with him, even Eddie Peabody has to take a back seat when the man with the long Curly Locks starts and then lets go on that helped instrument of his. STANDING ROOM ONLY Now to get down to the big show that came off Friday night. that came off Friday night. First Curtis is one of the biggest stars in the band, and even had the pleasure of enjoying. There was a small cover charge of $2.50, but bothathered not them they flocked there and flocked. By the time things were getting under way they were stand-along along the side lines so to speak. BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED NOW FOR THE SHOW Clarence Muse, the incomparable was the master of ceremonies, when they come any better at this job than the "Hearts in Dixie Star" I will be here to see them. TED LEWIS AND PARTY The king of jazz with his party of Musical Klowns were given a knock down first to the crowded house and the man that made a dream famous sounded like all the hands in Los Angeles. STEP THERE As the rounds of the tables were made many stars of the stage and screen were pointed out for the benefit of the night Hawks. Stephen Fetchit the Fox star was there, it a large party at a ring side table. SYNCOPATED WEDDING The special arrangement created by Mildred Washington and Mosby known as the Syncopated Wedding was done by spelling out and voted the best presentation ever shown at the club. Blue Hawwi a speciality by Suex Hoy the girl with the Chop Suex man gave them something to talk about. The Drinard Trio brought down their share of the sugar and were realy good. HEADLINERS FROM ORPHUEM Several numbers snack out of the Orpheum were presented for the approval of Moshy's guest and went the right way. Lawrenceville, Va., Oct 11—By A.N.P.-Followers of the Lincoln Lions who have been so apious to get a line of Coach Bill Taylor's 1929 Ion Pack, got their opportunity here Friday afternoon when the Lions defeated the St. Paul Tigers in one of the most stubbornly fought games ever witnessed at Russel Field, by a score of 12-6. Presenting a running attack which no Lincoln team has boosted since the days of Lys Young, when the present Lion Mentor was a player, the Lions swept the St. Paul Tigers off of their feet for long and substalent gains. The Tigers, however, presented a stubborn defense when their goal line was threatened and succeeded in turning back the invasion on several occasions. Anerson, Lewis, Harmon and Clark a quartet of kickers, runners and passers, brought the crowd to their feet time and again by spectacular runs which gave the Lion rooters confidence that the Lion Pack of this year will be a formidable contender for conference honors. St Paul followers, however saw nothing to discourage them. The Tigers were deafed but at no time did they give ground, every inch had to be fought for, and the playing of Wells and Wicks was almost phenomenal. In fact, it was due to this combination that the Tigers scored wick Wicks blocked a kick and Wells recovered the ball and ran for a touchdown. The Lions showed that in Anderson, Clark, and Harmon they have three of the best painters in the Conference, but if Coach Taylor does not want his pack to be on the losing end of some of the important games this season he will have to make his boys do a lot of work in place kicking and drop-kicking. Sydnor has shown much progress in his phase of the game and this defect should be corrected before the next game. KNOWVILLE GRID SEASON TO OPEN WITH KY. STATE Knoxville, Tenn., Oct.11—By A.N. P.-Knoxville College, Bulldogs, under the direction of Coach Wallace O. Hawkins, pry the lid off the 1929 grid season Saturday afternoon when they journey to Frankfort, Ky., for a game with Kentucky State. Practice has been under way for three weeks and material which looked green at the beginning of the season is beginning into shape. SCHEDULE Billy Townsend, the blond countryman of Wildcat Carter, has the Indian sign on Leah Carter and just about ruined him just Tuesday night in the main show at the Olympics. In the first place it wasn't a fight. Townsend just walked out, stuck out his left and cussed with his right and Carter went down. From then on it wasn't a thing but knock down, and plenty of them. The writer counted eleven during the two sounds, up to the time the referees stopped the battle. Indian Siew In the second place the white boy from Vancouver, Mike the Indian sign on Art Hildington boy, known for days as the inferior complex. I think the pale face had several of these so-called complexes on the dark-slimmed boy. Carter walked out and Townsend met hint in the center of the ring, with a right to the chin and down went a million dollar higher, but worth about two cents, because he has a chin weaker than tissue paper. And to top it all Leslie helped Townsend find that weak spot by holding his chin sky-high as he always did and the blond kid found it no difficult task to level on the jaw and drive home blows that made every black man in Doyle's arena feel the blows right along with the fastest kid in the world today. It was a terrible thing for us blacks to watch, but couldn't be helped and we should take our medicine like Carter did and come back again and again to back our boys. The Wilcott, was game as they make them, although hurt something terrible, he came back time and time again after a knockdown to take another one on the lag. He was trying to fight as long as he could hold up his hands. But for all his gameness there is no reason in the world why a man should he made to go to the floor nine times in a single round. Carter has been fighting something like five years and after last nights, showing many have hinted that the kid might be through, which would sure be a tough break for him and his new handlers. And then others have said that Carter is killing himself by fighting at 135 pounds. They claim that the Cat should take a lay off and come back in the ring as a welterweight. He is growing fast every day. A tough break kid, that's Carter. Woods Stopped in Semi-Final Joe Guerriero put the skids on Danny Woods in the second heat of the window bout. Gerrero put lets and right hands all over Danny and made him like it. Woods was hanging on the ropes in the second when the third man stepped in and called a halt. Hector McDonald took five out of six rounds from aaron. Referee Bob White got plenty ruzzing when he called Mission Bob's hand over Matt Cahs. Programs, flipps, paper wands and everything the fauci could get their hands on was used as a means of telling Bob White that they thought less than less of him as a ret. Several times the ring had to be cleared. Jess Vasquez took the duke over Art Molino according to White and the fans didn't like the way he called this one either. Bob had a hot night in October and no less. THE MUSIC OF THE WEST WESTERN MUSIC MISS EVELYN PREER Miss Evelyn Preer the most beautiful colored actress on the magazine today, who will be seen in the much talked of musical show 'Hit The Deck.' Miss Preer took the north by storm and will be seen at her best in this THE NEW YORK TIMES Newly arrived singer from Loew's Circuit. Honored guest at Tivoli Mid-Night Show. Huerta Evans the 'fast stopping little Cuban from Los Angeles, invaded' San Berardo and walked away with a ten round decision over Checkie Herman the Mexican favorite. Evans best the Mex. all the way and had him bleeding like a stock hog at the end of the ten cantos. Herman put up a game battle but could do nothing against the stronger Evans. Huerta outboxed him and at times made him look bad. Herman was making a so called comebreak, but he didn't come hack very far. Chickie hau knocked out a setup in a hot round at Sa nBerdao a couple of weeks before and thought that he comebreak and give Evans a hot time, but found it otherwise. WANTS JIMMY BLACK Chickie says that he wants Jimmy Black, Ed. Duval's flashy feather just once more and then he will be satisfied. Black gave Herman the worst beating he ever had a month or so back and every since Chickie has been on his triathlon Jimmy knocked him from gillar to post and man handled him something fierce. He took care of him in the clinches as if he was a mere babe in the dark woods. HAD BEATEN JIMMY This little Battling Mex. had beaten Jimmy twice before, that is what the referee said, but there were a whole lot of fans that differed with the third man. Black should have had at least in both of the privous battles a draw. It made Jimmy so hot that he kept after his manager to get Herman for him again and he would put his lights out for him in a hurry and he did that thing, and no less. There was no doubt whatsoever as to who was the winner in the last bout. HAD BETTER STAY FROM BLACK I Checkie knows what is good for him he had better stay away from the little black ace. Jimmy has hit his stride now and he is unboutable. No body is laying a glove on him so to speak. He is outhousing them and out hitting them. He has one of the snapest lefts in the business and knows how to do it. SHOULD BE ON TOP Black should be on the top. To speak plain, he should be fighting main events at the Olympic club in Los Angeles. He rates and has these coming to him. He is a diamond rough and it isn't so rough after all. JOHNNY ADAMS BACK IN TOP SPOT The Mountain Lion is coming back again. Again I say, it makes the third time in two months and if I started to count the many times that he was headed on a comebreak I would loose count and go to sleep as if I were counting sheep. The old Berdoo favorite made such a good impression at Ontario a week or so ago, he had taken it upon him self to take the game serious once again. Johnny fought that tough Tommy Ellis at Ontario and his showing was so good Hess 'Ellins the promoter at Berdoo signed him for a main event this Thursday with Jog Arçunçu, the fighting Mek. from Santa Monica. It should be a battle from start to finish. Joe lights and thats Johnny's name. Let en go. 3826-3828 CENTRAL AVE.

Oct. 11-By A.N.P. Joseph D. Bibb, editor of the Chicago Whip, and prominent local attorney was only sworn in as a member of the Board of Directors of the Chicago Public Library, here Thursday morning. Mr. Bibb's name was presented to the city Council Wednesday by Mayor William Hale Thompson and was unanimously approved by the body. This marks the second time in the history of Chicago that a Negro has been appointed to the Board of Directors of Chicago Public Library. The first to be appointed was George B. Hall, who was appointed by Mr. Dever and who served as a member until Mr. Bibb's appointment. This position is second in importance only to the Board of Education, on which no Negro has served in spite of campaign promises of mayoralty candidates for the past several years. The Chicago Public Library with its various branches, holds an important place in the lives of Chicagoans. During Dr. Hall's tenure of office he succeeded in securing a Southside Branch, and also placed several members of our group in important positions. Chicagoans are pressing the selection of Editor Bibb. In him they feel that Negroes will have a representative on the board who will follow the precedent set by his predecessor and fight for the riftfs of the group. For several years, as editor of the Chicago Whip, Mr. Bibb has fought the battles of the group and at the present time is waging a campaign against merchants who thrive on Negro patronage yet refuse to employ Negroes. Through this campaign scores of Negro youths have secured employment and been applauded up to Negroes in Chicago. Mr. Bibb is the indorsement of Congressman Oscar Priest, Alderman Louis B. Anderson, and Bishop A. J. Carpy of the Civil Service Commission. Inter-Racial Peace Com-mittee Sponsors Youth Peace Contests Ivan J. Johnson, III. Attorney-At-Law Suite 709-14 Bryson Bldg. 115 So.

Omaha, Nebraska, Oct. 11—By A. N.P.-The Mississippi Bosters visited Omaha, Nebraska, in Monday and made the accustomed round of the undertaking established round one of those visited being that of J. D. Lewis (colored) 2310 N 24th St. considered by many to be the finest of the race in the United States. Mrs. Hazel Lewis, wife of the undertaker, and well-known fraternal, club, and church woman, conducted the inspector around, and began giving information about when bodies arrived and when the funerals would take place. Finally Mrs. Lewis escorted the men to the Embalming room where the body of the late Emanuel Young lie in state. The same questions were asked about his date of death etc. Mrs. Lewis answered this man died March 16, 1929 and we have not decided to bury him as his aged mother has no money, and he is no trouble to us here, as we simply move him around when he is in the funeral of anyone who must have speedy funeral. Mr. Lewis declares that the keeping of Young is practically inexpensive as he only gives him a clean sheet for covering about every two or three days; otherwise, no one touches him. Mr. Lewis lives over his modern frugal home with his wife and two daughters, Charlene aged 17 and Lorene, 14 years old. Emanuel Young formerly lived in Oakloosa, Kansas, before coming to Omaha, his mother never having had the money to come to Omaha. LOUISANANS ORGANIZE CIVIC LEAGUE Alexandria, La. Oct 11—By A.N.
