James Hamilton Lewis elaborating upon the important part played by the Negro or the colored races in relation to establishing civilization throughout the Ancient Eastern World, thousands and thousands of years ago, to say the least, the very brilliantly written article which contained many startling statements touching upon the wonderful achievements of the colored races in the past in all those arts and sciences which will to the end of time be beneficial to all humanity, scattered throughout all parts of the civilized world. Owing to the fact that it has attracted wide attention; that it has been eagerly read and re-read by many of Africans, the First Ancient THE GREAT GREEK WHOSE IMPERISH-DR WRITINGS WILL WHO TRAVELED ON 17,000 MILES BUT THE ANCIENT WILD.

Before proceeding further, we must pause to briefly state that a great misfortune or an everlasting calamity has fallen upon the vast majority of the members of the colored race in this country, which will continue to hang over them like a heavy pall until they learn to familiarize themselves with the literary productions of the past and present which proclaims it to all the world that the highly educated colored man possesses the same 5 CENTS PER COPY SCHERVEN PHOTO Nominated for President of the United States at the Republican National Convention at Cleveland, Ohio on Thursday.

From time immemorial the colored people have been religiously taught to believe that they belonged to an inferior race; a race which has never accomplished anything for the lasting benefit of humanity, and ninety-nine times out of one hundred, whenever such rash and shallow statements are hurled into his face he stands still with his mouth closed tight and he is utterly unable to utter one word against such vicious statements or in his own defense for the simple reason that he will persist in closing his eyes to the bright noonday sunlight and absolutely refuses to keep abreast of the times and to familiarize himself with the history of his own race and with its remarkable strides forward in all those things which have been ennobling to the human race in all the ages of the past. If the many readers of this article will secure and read the various historical works which will be referred to from time to time as we proceed they will form a greater conception of mankind in general and a more noble or a broader conception of the immensity of the universe. For in the language of Confucius, the great Chinese lawgiver and philosopher, author of the Golden Rule, who lived five hundred and fifty years before the Christian era and two thirds of the human race believe in his teachings at the present time. "That we would rather subsist on one meal a day and let that meal consist of dry bread and a cup of water in order to save some of our earnings to purchase books, for without plenty of good books to read, life is only a dream or a passing cloud." With these introductory or preliminary remarks we will now proceed with our main subject. Herodotus, the great Greek historian, who passed away 408 years B.C., who traveled more than 17,000 miles throughout the ancient Eastern World, who has the great distinction of being THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JUNE 14, 1924 HON. CALVIN COOLIDGE among the first persons in the world to attempt to collect and to record the acts of men or of mankind into history, informs us by his imperishable works or writings which he has left behind which will grow better and brighter as we move onward in the ever increasing columns of humanity. That Homer, Josephus, Eusebius, Strabo, Solon, the great law giver of Athens, Plato, Lycurgus, Pythagoras and many of the other eminent scholars and illustrious men of Greece journeyed into Egypt to complete their studies or education and to draw from its fountain whatever was most rare and valuable in every kind of learning for Egypt was ever considered by all the ancients as the most renowned school for wisdom and politics and the source from whence most arts and sciences sprang, for that kingdom bestowed its noblest labors and finest arts on the improvements of mankind. Herodotus, who was the fairest of all of the writers or historians in dealing with the black or sunburn races throughout the old Eastern World, also informs us that Cham or Ham, the progenitor of the Negro race, settled in Egypt; that from him proceeded the Libyans; the Phutims; the Cushmis or the Ethiopians, who colonized the African side of the Red Sea, extended themselves indefinitely to the west and to the south of that great continent, that Egypt was called Chemira or the country of Ham; that the chief Deity of the ancient Egyptians was Hammon, or Ammon and was worshiped as a deification of Ham; that 34 Ethiopian kings ruled over Egypt in the full noontide of her prosperity and civilization; that the Carthagians, the inventors of the alphabet, the Canaanites, the Hamites, the Arabians, the Abyssinians, the Thebians and in fact all the dark, black or sunburn races throughout the ancient Eastern World, sprang from the same source or fountain head; that they were the founders of vast empires and kingdoms which stood for thousands of years; that they enslaved the Jew- ish race (God's chosen people), and were the masters of the then known world, while at that period those composing the Anglo-Saxon race were roving bands or herds of semi-savages in the remote parts of northern Europe, living in caves or dugouts subsisting on roots or herbs and raw flesh, which they gnawed from carcases of wild beasts. One of the most profound writers of ancient or modern times, in referring to the marvelous achievements of the ancient Egyptians says, "that for the past three thousand years the world has been mainly indebted for its advancement to the Semitic and Indo-European races, but it was otherwise in the first ages. Egypt and Babylon, which were founded by Nimrod, both descendants of Ham, led or blazed the way, and acted as the pioneers of mankind in the various untredden fields of art, literature, science, alphabetic writing, astronomy, history, chronology, architecture, plastic art, sculpture, navigation, agriculture, textile industry; all of them seem to have had their origin in one or the other of these two countries. The beginnings may have been often humble enough. We may laugh at the crude picture-writing, the uncouth brick pyramid, the coarse fabric, the homely and ill-shaped instruments, as they present themselves to our notice in the remains of these ancient nations, but they are really worthier of our admiration than of our ridicule. The first inventors of any art are among the greatest benefactors of the human race, and the bold step which they take from the unknown to the known, from blank ignorance to discovery, is equal to many steps of subsequent progress. "The commencement, says Aristotle, is more than half of the whole. The child is father of the man, both in the individual and the species. And the human race at the present day lies under infinite obligations to the genius and industry of the black races, who flourished and ruled over all sections of the ancient Eastern World." It has been maintained by Herodotus and by the other eminent writers and scholars, that the first library in the world was founded in Egypt; that most of its inhabitants were educated to that extent so that they could read and write or draw on smooth surface the words or expressions they wanted to use in their word or picture writing; that Free Masonry which has spread over the face of the whole earth originated in the land of Egypt; that the Sagas or the Egyptian Bible anti dates the Jewish or the Protestant Bible by more than 2,000 years; that many of its moral maxims, precepts, teachings, myths and myologies were incorporated into the latter Bible without the slightest changes or alterations; that the ancient Egyptians were the first in recorded history in showing difference to females and elderly people; that like the adherents of the religion of the cross, blessings were always asked by the Ancient Egyptians prior to partaking of their repasts. That the Ark which was greatly cherished by the Jewish people, which was illuminated at night, which they carried in front of them on their way to the land of Canaan belonged to the Egyptians for they had created it and they had not even loaned it to the Jewish people. The greatest historians of the past also inform us that the ancient Egyptians in all of their military grandure or glory, handed down to us the ten commandments, which Moses claimed were written by the finger of God upon two tables of stone on Mount Sina, that the ancient Egyptians studied the diseases of their country, compiled a Pharmacopocia and invented the signs which are used by all prescription druggists unto this day. It is also admitted by the Historians of the past that Cush who was the oldest son of Ham, and father of Nimrod who was the founder of the Babylonian Empire and the great city of Nineveh, which was one of the greatest cities in the ancient The commencement exercises of Walden College, Nashville, Tenn., were held recently in the Meharry Auditorium before a crowd which filled the auditorium to the point of overflowing. After the academic procession, Hon. J. C. Napier, member of the Board of Trustees, took charge as master of ceremonies. Rev. Dr. C. K. Brown, pastor of Clark Memorial Church, who pronounced the invocation, also introduced, in a happy way, the speaker of the occasion, Dr. Gilbert T. Rowe, editor of the Methodist Quarterly Review of the M. E. Church, South. In a forceful, yet eloquent, manner the speaker admonished the graduates to have definite convictions concerning the issues of life and never to compromise with regards to apparent status and condition, but, at any opportunity, to get zealously into the game of life and win. President T. R. Davis presented the diplomas and certificates to the forty-four graduates. Dr. H. H. Walker, alumnus of the school, awarded the prizes and Rev. J. B. Booth, district superintendent, pronounced the benediction. Another distinctive feature of the exercises was the music rendered by the Choral Society. The audience again showed its appreciative attitude by the generous applause for the musical numbers on the program. The Commencement season at Walden has been a success, for not only have the various programs reflected credit upon the high standard maintained at the college but also plans were perfected for the larger development of the in- Eastern world. That the City of Babylon has never been rivaled nor surpassed. Its hanging gardens, its tunnel under the river Enphrates, its solid wall which extend around the entire City, on the top of which could be driven at full speed twelve horses abreast and its works of art have been the marvel of all the ages of the past. The observatory which was established by Nimrod in the City of Babylon, was among the seven great wonders of the world. It was there that the astronomers during his lifetime completed a catalogue containing the names of ten hundred and sixty-eight stars; that they divided the days and nights into twelve hours each. Imparted the names to the planets which have never been changed and come within one sixteenth part of a minute of measuring the exact rotation of the earth. There may be some readers of this article who may doubt the truthfulness of the statements contained in it, if so we most respectfully refer them to the works or writings already mentioned, and to the following works: "The Seven Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World," by George Rawlinson, M. A.; "Charles Rollin's Ancient History of the Egyptians," Persians etc.; "A Thousand Miles Up The Nile" by Amelia B. Edwards; "Volney's Ruins and Revolutions of Ancient Empires," Sir Harry H. Johnston's, "Alien Races In Africa;" Winwood Read's, "Martydom of Man;" Pickering's Races of Man; Renan's history of, "The People of Israel;" John W. Draper's "History of the Conflict Between Science and Religion;" also his matchless production, "The Intellectual Development of Europe." Let us conclude by quoting from one of the wisest Egyptian Philosophers who lived five thousand, five hundred and fifty years before the Christian era: "Preserve thy self, moderate, thy self, instruct thy self, live for thy fellow citizens that they may live for thee." stitution. The Commencement also disclosed the fact that the Alumni, in a significant and unusual way, are working for the bigger outlook of the institution. President Davis, the Board of Trustees, the Faculty and students, thank all who have contributed to the success of the school year and are planning for an even greater success next year.

ACUSED OFFICER OF HELPING HIMSELF "TOO MUCH" TO HIS FRUIT William Jones, who sells fruit from a wagon at 31st and State streets, was hailed into court Wednesday morning, by an officer, for blocking the crossing. Jones was told to move his wagon from the corner but told the officer "if he wanted it moved, to move it himself." Jones had another story to tell, that the officer was helping himself too freely to the fruit on his wagon, and that his objection to his actions, was the probable cause of the arrest. He was told to either move his wagon or go out of business and have his license taken away. He consented to obey orders and "move on."

FORE ATTEMPTING TO INVES? IN REAL ESTATE. A TIMELY ARTICLE BY ATTORNEY ROBERT T. TERRY, 184 W. WASH. INGTON STREET. *As a lawyer, who is at all times an officer of the court, I feel it my duty to call the attention of the general public to certain things I have noticed in my practice and sound a warning that the public may be aware. I have reference to men or a class of men among our people who are operating as real estate brokers, under the name and guise of a worthy and honorable profession, but who in real- ity are more properly termed, “real estate sharks.” TI have had no quarrel with the real estate brokers, who are doing an honest and legitimate busi- ness, they are answering a great need among our people, but I have the most profound contempt for the real estate shark who practices his un- worthy calling upon the unsophisti- cated, and taking advantage of their ardent and worthy desire to obtain a home for themselves.

One of these sharks, through his agents or runners, who belonged to the same church that this poor woman did, made an appeal to her through her race pride and prejudice to other races, telling her that she should withdraw this money from the bank which was only paying her three per cent interest and let a group of her own people have this money and they would invest it in a home for her and would pay her eight per cent on the money, and that she might withdraw it at anytime she saw fit; but, alas, as soon as they had gotten her $800 she could néver again get in’ touch with them in anyway. This was more than two years ago. The woman, after using every other means to her knowledge to get back her money, finally came to me. The poor woman was desperate and asked me if I could help her. After making investigations I found that these men had been operating in violation of the security act known as the Blue Sky Law of the State of Illinois, which carries with it penalty of a penitentiary sentence.

STUMP, THE OLD-TIME TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS WORKED HIS WAY DOWN TO FORT WORTH, TEXAS, WHERE HE CAME IN CONTACT WITH HON. ROBERT R. JACKSON OF CHICAGO AND HON. S. W. GREEN, SUPREME CHANCELLOR OF THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS OF THE WORLD. Forth Worth, Texas.—Major R. R. Jackson, of Chicago, and he is one of the city fathers, was down here and you will put it down that I told you he made one more hit, and he spoke right from the shoulder. It was a pleasure to see him way down here in Texas, and he brought greetings from way up there in Chicago, and I was delighted to hear him tell the men of Texas to take down their sign. He said that it was time for the Negro, the country over, to take down the sign "Colored Man" and just be a man. The world wanted not a colored man nor a white man, but simply a man, and when the Huns were giving us Americans has-e-square-hull, President Wilson, himself and his party, had to set aside color and find a man, and a man who could out-think them Huns. Now it is over they want to get back to, white man and colored man, but man would have to count in this world. He made a wonderful speech, and then he showed the people about this military business. He is just a soldier. I am so glad that we have such a man. God give us more Jacksons. He had been sick, yet he got out of his bed in order to keep his engagement down here, and just as soon as he got to town he had to go to bed, and soon Dr. G. M. Muchus, one of the leading physicians in this part of the world was rigt by his side. He worked as only a doctor can work, and soon had them death bugs running to save their own lives, but believe me honey he killed them all and Major Jackson is a much improved man. It was interesting to come in touch with W. L. McCoy, of Chicago, general manager of the N. A. Franklin Manufacturing Company. This company has a chain of beauty parlors, coming in Chicago and ending in Houston, Texas. They have been in Chicago a few years and have purchased a fine business block on Indiana avenue, and they have purchased a home on Forestville avenue. They are doing things, and you put it down that I told you they are going to have a fine business place in Chicago that will make us all proud of them. How would you like to be down here in the Pythian Grand Lodge and see the good things that are going on here? The Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias is going on here, and honey it is one of the finest things I have seen among my people since I have been colored saying nothing about the time when I was a little white boy. I want to tell you a few things about it, but you will have to remember where I was when I wrote you that other letter. I was then in Texas as I remember, and now here I am still in the city or state. Bright and early on Monday morning, Miss Annie L.

E. Arlington Wilson, notifying me that she was ready to tome me over to Fort Worth. She was at something they called the steering wheel, and a young man was in the car carriage. In one hour they landed me in the Y.M.C.A. in this city. The secretary was out, and I went down to the McDonald building, and into it I entered when Dr. A. B. Borders, a friend of long standing and a friend of the late N. T. Wallis, a dentist, soon was shaking my lily black hand, and told me to make my headquarters in his office. He touchingly referred to the death of our friend, Dr. Wallis. Dr. Borders is indeed a fine young man, and I recall when the bugs first got after me down here in Texas, he gave me some medicine, and ordered me to bed, and Dr. Wallis told me of the wonderful water works he had in his home and wanted that I go there and go to bed, but I made my way to Guthrie, Oklahoma, and to the Park Sanitarium. Dr. Borders has a fine office down here and is a busy young man. He has two automobile car carriages, and then his wife is just a queen in the home. Miss Clarice Dillingham, an efficient clerk is in charge of Dr. Borders' office. It it fortunate that he has such a polite courteous young woman, who is well educated in charge, and who can put things over. She makes friends, and is always looking out for the office. She wrote some letters for me and was very kind during the session of the Grand Lodge. Speaking of Grand Lodge, I was there when Grand Chancellor W. S. Willis, sounded the gavel calling them to order. I heard him when he made his speech, or made, the remarks. He said some real things touching the work to be accomplished, and then congratulated the men on the success of the past year. Every Knight seemed happy and had a determined look on his face. I heard the Rev. Dr. R. S. Jenkins make the opening prayer. He made some prayer believe me honey. This was followed by the appointment of a committee on credentials. Now things started off in good shape until a man appeared at the door without the pass, yet he had authority from the State of Texas to enter and read a document to Grand Chancellor Willis, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal J. E. Smith, and the Assistant Grand Keeper of Records and Seals, Marshall. He was a deputy Sheriff, and some of the Knights had gone into Court got out an injunction touching the election of officers. Now that paper was read, and it was touching the election for Tuesday, but honey that paper looked like it was fixed up by a school boy.

Lodge was ready for it, and the necessary reports were made, the officers were elected, and so it was all over. The election was unanimous and strictly in keeping with the law of Texas, and the Law of the order. KLAN PUT TO ROUT BY INDIANA DEMOCRATS Indianapolis.—Overwhelming the tenacious opposition of a Ku Klux Joyland Amus at 33rd street and You may say all you want, but the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias is blessed with a lawyer, Hon. A. C. Wells, one of the best and finest in the country. He is not a pigmy but a real educated lawyer that knows the law and knows how to execute it. I think if he belonged in Cook County, Illinois, they would make him a Judge up there, but he is working with his people in Texas, and is a real busy man. It is indeed a pleasure to be at a meeting of this kind. After this paper had been served, then the Pythian law was read, which prohibited a brother from going to the civil courts before he had used efforts within the order to adjust his complaints. They were then declared out of order and could not represent their lodges in the grand lodge. They tucked some part of their anatomy and walked out seemingly singing "No One to Welcome Us Home." I will bet you my head to a ginger cake that it will not be long before them buddies will be on the outside looking in. For they had something about the careless use of the funds, and the reports made showed differently. Just to think the interest on the money paid all salaries, and the Grand Chancellor is paid a salary of $6,000, and then the Grand Keeper of Records and Seals is paid a salary, giving his entire time to the work—in fact all the officers were paid out of the interest on the money of the Grand Lodge and the main money had not been touched. What do you think of this? Would you call that an organization The business of the whole Grand Lodge went over eight hundred thousand dollars, and they had a cash asset right now of over half million, and it doth not yet appear all it shall be. Nearly seven thousand new members reported during the past 12 months, and it continues to grow. New lodges reported, and I wish you could have seen them Knights shouting and praising Grand Chancellor Willis. All of the finance was brought out in the report of J. E. Smith, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal. The money is in various banks, and certificates from the banks were displayed showing the amount of money in each. We have done come. These are my people and I felt proud. We are not only making men educated, but we are making men who can deal in finance, men of thought, men of action. I had the pleasure of coming in touch with that wonderful character Prof. A. S. Jackson, of Waco, the Commissioner of Education of the African Methodist Episcopal church, who is doing his part, and who is active, I met other big men down here. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop, but I am not through talking about all the things I have seen since I have been in this city, and if I would write a week I would not be through. I tell the world they had one more parade here on Wednesday, and a Mardigras Parade Wednesday night. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, one of the most remarkable men of the race and a leader of men, was here, and if you will remember he is the Supreme Chancellor of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. It is a great thing to be able to see a great man like this. I will soon have to bring this letter to a stop. God bless you. Write to me when you can do so. HON. JAMES W. BREEN KLAN PUT TO ROUT BY INDIANA DEMOCRATS Indianapolis.—Overwhelming the tenacious opposition of a Ku Klux Klan bloc wielding approximately one-fourth of the votes, the Democratic state convention here rededicated the party to the constitutional guaranies of freedom of worship and expression and nominated for governor Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch of Indianapolis, who was opposed by the klan in the recent state primary. State Senator Joseph M. Cravens of Madison, supported by the klan forces, held a vote of 300 through the last of three ballots. Later a motion by Cravens' followers to make the nomination unanimous carried by acclamation. Dr. McCulloch, in a field of five won a plurality of 42,000 in the primary, but failed to secure a majority, which threw the nomination to the convention. He survived seven opponents. The Hoosier delegation to the national convention, headed by Tom Taggart of French Lick and avowedly favorable to United States Senator Samuel Ralston, was uninstructed. Parliamentary wrangling by the opposition after the reading of the plank on "freedom and liberty," served only to delay for a moment the thunderous acclamation which wrote the pronouncement into the platform. "We condemn all efforts to stir up race and class hatreds and the creation of dissension amongst our people," the plank read. MAN CHARGES WIFE OF INFIDELITY With the Aid of an Officer, Breaks in Room, Finds Another Man's Shoes Under His Bed Atta De Piest, who is now living separate and apart from her husband, Howard De Priest, was in court Wednesday morning, charged with infidelity, by her husband. Mr. De Priest stated that for some time he and his wife have been separated; that he had been ordered to pay a stipulated amount of alimony by the court, each week, but suspicioned of being intimate with another man, set out to watch her actions. On Tuesday night, armed with a policeman, he entered their apartment and found another man's clothes and shoes in her room, but the man was in another room in the same house. The case was dismissed as no disturbance of any kind was related and suggested that it be taken up in the court of Domestic Relations. MAN ACCUSED OF CUTTING WOMAN IN THE DARK Henry Murphy was arrested last Friday night, charged with having cut Mrs. Stella Harris, as he jumped from a dark doorway on Dearborn street. Mrs. Harris alleges that she was on he way home when the incident occurred and that she had seen the man several times before, and that he had insisted on keeping company with her to which she refused and lays this as the basis of the assault. Murphy denies seeing her before and knew nothing of the so-called attack. He also accuses her of being a dope fiend. Judge Jno. A. Bugee discharged him as a case of mistaken identity. * JOYLAND-CHICAGO'S PLEASURE SPOT Joyland Amusement Park, located at 33rd street and Wabash avenue, has exceeded every expectation in providing joy and pleasure for every one, from kiddies to grown ups.

FINED $200 AND COSTS FOR CARRYING GUN William Blan, charged with carrying a gun, was fined $200 and costs Wednesday morning. His alibi was that he had been "stuck up" several times. He is in business, at 53rd and Federal streets, and each day carries his money to the bank for deposit. Fearing that he would be held up and relieved of his money by hold-up men, he carried this gun for protection. He was in the vicinity of 52nd and Dearborn when arrested. He was assured by the court, that the city of Chicago would afford him all the protection he needed. Some time ago, Blan was held up but by prompt service of the ever-ready policemen, the man was instantly killed by a never-failing bullet.

Bohi and Liveright, 61 W. 48th St., New York City. Price $2.00. By Mail, $2.10. This is Mr. O'Neill's third play dealing with the Negro. It is a theme that appeals deeply to his imagination and that he always presents with great power. The play has been much commented upon, owing partly to the excitement at the announcement that it would be produced in New York with a mixed cast. The production, however, has passed off without a ripple and Robeson has acceptably maintained the important leading role. The scene is laid in New York in a poor neighborhood where white and colored children play together and have a good time, the Negro made conscious, however, by jibes, of his race. Jim Harris has a little sweet-heart, Ella, a white child, "painty-face," they call her because of her pink cheeks, whom he is always ready to defend, and who shyly says, "I like you, Jim." Later she works his ruin. Deserted by a cheap white with whom she has lived, her baby dead, her family throwing her off, Jim, out of his great love, marries her. They go to France where they are happy at first, but later she grows apprehensive, fearful of meeting someone from home, while he feels that he should be back in the race conflict. So they return and the end of the play shows the woman stark mad, the man perhaps soon to become so. This is what happens when Jim and Ella marry, but events are only a part of the play. The thing that seems to hold the playwright in its clutch is the belief in the inferiority complex that JOYL Chicago's Wonder Rides, Shows, Games, Musi Now Open for Pep—Pleasure—Joy Bigger and Best Admission 33rd Street and ARRESTED FOR THREAT TO KILL John Cephus was before Judge Bugeen Wednesday morning, on a charge of threatening Judson's life. Judson O'Neal stated that on May 28, he entered the defendant's store, to collect a sum of thirty-one dollars owed him. When accosted, about the amount, an argument ensued, in which the defendant threatened to kill him if he ever darkened his door again. Mr. Cephus' testimony was corroborated by a customer in the store at the time by the name of Smith. The case was dismissed. ```markdown ``` shadows continually Jim's wife. This colored boy is the superior of all the white boys about him. He has a generous spirit and a fine mind, but the white world refuses him success. He describes what happens to him when he is called upon to recite. "It's all in my head, all fine and correct to a T. Then I'm called on—I stand up—all the white faces looking at me—and I can feel their eyes—I hear my own voice sounding funny, trembling—and all of a sudden it's all gone in my head—there's nothing remembered—and I hear myself stuttering—and give up—sit down." "And it's the same in the written exams." This is what the white world does to Jim Harris. And if the world without stultifies his efforts, his wife pushes him down ten fold more. Her superiority complex makes her, cheap little thing that she is, feel herself superior to the finest black. She will kill him if he succeeds in his ambition to pass at the Bar. In her madness she attempts this more than once. "I'm so happy," she cries, when he fails. "I was praying with all my might. God don't let Jim pass." I had gone thus far in my review when Rosalie Jonas, author of many exquisite poems on the Negro, came in after seeing the play and told me I was all wrong. It is, she declares, first and always a marvellous love story. Jim Harris has no inferiority complex. If he had he would be aggressive, bumpious. (She's right there). He is a highly sensitive person, a poet, living in a world that enjoys crushing his kind. His love for his wife is among the most perfect examples of selfless devotion in all dramatic literature. O'Neill here reaches the peak of his great genius. Another critic would give another viewpoint. You must read the play to know it, and then read it again.
