The comedy, which is brief but capably handled by Emma Griffin, is luxurious beauty a good opportunity to show how straight work of her sister was as pleasing as it was convicting. Mabel Griffin puts the punch in her Hawaiian song, and is backed by the full chorus in a classic manner. The dancing Hawaiian chorus is a thing of beauty, although very little of it is done with the feet. The music is luxurious dance differs and that, however, as it dances lightly and demonstration of what a finished artist can do was furnished by the clever performer. Miss Mattie Edwards, formerly of the Williams & Walker and other attractions of ye bygone days. She hit straight out with several numbers which lift her to the top to her style.

They have played every theater of any note through those sections with great success, the reports are certainly line. And these reports are certainly good, but never been a company seen at this popular theater that can eclipse the Drake-Walker aggregation for versatility and the ability to put their goods over in proper style. Everything from the chorus to theogue to a military drill, and the chorus to theogue to a military drill, seen at the Stroll houses as to be beyond comparison; indeed, the singing offered as a feature, and the way the songs are banded, shows the discriminating care with which the large chorus and the music are catchy. The musical comedian, is too well known to the patrons of the Monogram to need special mention; suffice to say that his work along that line stands out. The costumisation and the music is catchy. They will provide a routine for their second week and this engagement is sure to prove one long to be remembered. LULU COATES HOME Lulu Coates and her Cricket packs arrived in Chicago Monday morning.

There have been a great many critics who declare that "Neptune's Daughter" is greater than all other plays in which the famous Annette has appeared; be that as it may, the fact that she is a New Yorker ranks high in the firmament of great productions, and is recognized as the greatest triumph of the century, both from the standpoint of the spectacular as well as to interest and sensational-ly; is an eight reel, and there is more added to it, with eight thousand feet than is seen in the large features carrying twice its length.

FOUND GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER Reme, Ga., Jan. 26.—The jury which heard the evidence in the murder trial of Joe August, charged with the murder of his wife and her alleged paramour by striking them with an axe was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter. The jury brought in its verdict this afternoon in the Superior court. August had pleaded the "unwritten law." Judge Wright has not yet pronounced sentence. Without the slightest emotion, but with marked complacency, Joe August related the details of the best that he may tragedies ever enacted in Floyd county, and in which he played the leading role. August was placed on trial for the murder of his wife, Rosa August, on the night of the 5th of last December. He also killed his wife's paramour, Frank T. Townsend, the weapon used was a double-blade. Solicitor General Porter (white), who vigorously prosecuted the case, sought to show that August had a trap for his faithless wife, and that the double murder was premeditated. Attorney W. B. McHane, representing the defense, made a strong fight for his client, claiming that he justified in defending the sanctity of his life, as no evidence introduced for the defense was making his statement of the butchery in a quiet, unaffected manner. He stated that he had never suspected his wife, and when he saw Townsend enter his home he attempted to enter the house and found the front and rear doors locked. He saw an axe and climbed in the window, and then entered the adjoining room where his wife Townsend were he struck the man a terrific blow on the head, splitting it open. The same blow struck the woman across the face producing a fatal wound. MOZEE GIVEN SURPRISF Dr. Theodore E. Mozee, 5131 Wabash avenue, was the recipient of an expected welcome when he arrived home last Friday evening and found a house full of his gentlemen friends awaiting him. The stag, which had been arranged by Mrs. Mozee as a birthday surprise for her husband, was thoroughly enjoyable from every viewpoint. Among those guests were Mozee, William Sobers, David Manson, Charles Myers, Paul Crosswaithe, Midian Bovell, Chestnut, Frederick Pratt, Hale Parker, Messrs. Julius Avendorph, George Walker, John Auter, Charles Duke, Julian Lewis and Claude A. Barnett. Toastmaster Julius Avendorph suavely guided the festivities until the "wee sma hours", when the party sat down to a table adorned with good things. By this time the dinner was grown so general that further guidance was needed with "He's a Jolly Good Fellow", the sentiment of all, the party broke up, voting to remember forever Dr. Mozee's "umstethree" birthday.

CLIO SCHOOL CLIO SCHOOL Institution of Mental Sciences and Character Analysis Now an Established Fact; Only School of Its Kind Operated for and by Member of the Race The opening of the Clio School of Mental Science and Character Analysis, on the afternoon of Monday, January 15, was attended despite the inclement weather; the students filled the handsome parlor of the school, which is situated at 3389 Calumet avenue, and the select musical program rendered was well received. The artists were the Danny Brown, Aedna L. L. Price and Messia Clarence Lee and Anthony Banks. Prof. Adena Minott, the hostess, was ably assisted by Medames Elizabeth Lindsay-Scott, Ward Bush-Banks, who also assisted in serving the dainty repast prepared. This opening revealed the fact that there is being established in our midst a new school along the lines of progressive, scientific thoughts with the object of demonstrating to people the purpose and usfulness of these sciences as applied to the battleman of their wars. Prof. Adena C. E. Minott, of New York City, who has founded this school, is a Race woman of learning and culture and PROF. MINOTT And Group of Graduates comes to Chicago well recommended, having lived and practiced in the east for seventeen years and having taught and taught the sciences of the country. She is the only member of the Race who has been received and graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences of Phenology andington, D. C., and the Fowler & Wells American Institute of Anthropology, New York City, the only institutions in America teaching these subjects. From the colleges of the University of the titles of Bachelor of Phenology and Mistress of Science and from the latter a Medal of Merit. She was also made fellow and member of this institute in 1910. Richard T. Greener, of Anthropology is a branch of the Fowler Institute of London, England, and was incorporated by special act of the legislature of the State of New York in -Prvd. Richard T. Greener, who presided at the opening, in introducing Prof. Minott, the speaker of the afternoon, explained that the mental sciences of the human being, and wholesome, in the light of the latest scientific discoveries of the workings of the mind, although the truths are as old as the ancient acquires, an interview with Prof. Minott, the said. "The study and practice of character analysis as taught at the Cloe school, embraces all that is substantially known and understood, together with a knowledge of practical or business psychology for men and women; teaching them to become better acquainted and to understand the nature of their character, explained that private analyses of character of people are given at the school daily and each evening excepting Sundays, and that these delineations enable them to understand their lives. It teaches parents to fully understand their children and to place them in the sphere, vocation or calling them, they are adopted and in which line they will make the best success of their lives. The school is now registering applicants for a class course which will open on Monday, the 10th of ten weeks, with two classes each week, enabling students at the end of that period to read the characters of a book, a poem or a short or handwriting and will include short courses in anatomy, physiology, hygiene and business psychology or for a course in the study of the well known physician, is being arranged with to assist in lecturing to this class who are prominent physicians of city will address the class during the course. "Such a course must be very expensive." we ventured. "Not by any means," was the answer. "A very nominal price has been set for the purpose of bringing the courses within reach." "What of your private delineations?" "They too are practically nominal although the analysis is very exhaustive and covers every point of interest to the client." "What concrete benefits do you figure these instructions will give your students?" we finally asked. "They gain from it mental concentration, self control, police efficiency and the success of information to follow with knowledge of people." Cio School of Mental Sciences must not be confounded with the cheap fortune-telling institutions with which Chi School of Mental Sciences must follow a graceful degree. It is an institution of higher education and scientific research and is the pioneer school of its kind in the world. Many of Chi School's most esteemed students in the world and the success of the venture is already assured. "MEDICO'S" OFFICERS FOR 1917 Officers for the year 1917 of the Physicians.

I am asking that song of mine, which you told me was a peach, to an act which started out of this place; the name of the act is Peate and Repeate; it is a song that changed the title of the song from "Molly, Keep Me on Your Mind," to "Don't Forsake Me, Molly Mush." They were a hit at the Skunkton night and I understand that they are booked for a three day stand at the Tootentoo theater. I am working on a new song number which I will call "The Bumble Bumble Bee." You can watch you on the night and you to tell what you think of it, and if you think the story in it is good? Here it is: The Bumble Bee is not a bird. Altho I've heard him sing; He's busy, yes, from morn to night, On foot or on the wing. It's pleasant to see him about. When you are out sitting, You can watch you on him. He'll spill your disposing. Chorus— O, Bumble Bee, O, Bumble Bee, I know you are no singer; I'll have to duck your singer. I consider this the best thing I have turned out since my big hit, "O, Sweetheart, Lay Your Pencil Down, You're Only Drawing Flies" which I will show you this melody for this one, Dave Payton or Clarence Jones? Let me hear from you soon. Yours very truly, Gerty Perch. REPLY—Dear Gerty—I certainly consider you a lucky person to sell that song you claim the act bought from you. At the time you sent me ```markdown ``` A DOUBLE TRAGEDY Mr. Tillman came home at 11 o'clock, entered, found his wife sitting on settee, and then entered the police headquarters and upon responding police found conditions as related. He asked whether Fred Simpson shot and killed Mrs. George Tillman then killed himself or whether both were victims of a double murder. Mr. Tillman is held as a suspect and shot himself through the heart and then loaded the gun. He is one of the best known Colored men in Battle Creek. He will be deceased. The coroner's funeral will be held Monday to establish facts. WRIGHT ADDRESSES LYCEUM Hon. Edward W. Wright, assistant corporation counsel of the city of Chicago and president of the Bar Association, was the speaker at Grace Presbyterian church last Sunday. His subject was *Women in the Church*. He was introduced by Dr. Julian Lewis. This was the first time that the lawyer had delivered an address in public since his appointment and he was brimful of thought on the Race question. He told the people that he would be the people and emphasized the fact that it was incumbent upon such organizations as the Young People's Lyceum to help the "newcomers" to become used to the actions and ways of the people of Chicago and to help the public places, on the street cars, on Heurged the support of Race leaders found worthy and strongly endorsed the idea of going to the bank, saving your money. Miss Lillian Brown, accompanied by T. W. Lewis, was highly appreciated. A certificate of $25 was presented to the Lyceum from Mr. Emmett J. Scott for the money sent to the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. It was framed and will be hung in the library. Katherine Johnson, professor of Wake Forest University and lecturer, will speak on Feb. 4.

The team you mention must be a whang from you for so long it was consecutive, and no doubt it will be. I want you for you to have them boosting your compositions. I don't think they did right in changing the title of the song, but the situation is entirely too sloppy. This Bumble Bee thing is a hummer and the story it carries is away out of the rear end of one of these honeybears, but it melody to this number, all the melody to see my eye turning a corner teutes before my head got there. I think I would prefer to have Dave hummers than Clarence Jones, the latter being a complete teet-o-tail. The part where you speak of sitting much of a warm good dope, and taking qualities of the Buzzer is a lesson. I don't think that this song is as good as some of the others which you have submitted, especially your hit called 'If You Should Want Me While I'm Gone, Just Wring the Baby's Shirt. However, there is a song of this description, and I will mention to Mule Bradford, who may be glad to introduce it through the wonderful tenor, Billy E.

C. of Atlantic City, because of the severe traffic on the street, and because of the Alpha on Christmas day, and because of the decisive victory of the Vandal A.

Moreover, the remembrance of their defeat last season by Lincoln, plus the fact that it was accomplished minus the support of the Miami team, who pilots the team again this season whispers to the 'Vs that it is no mean for with whom they have to do battle.

THE CHICAGO DEP STIGALL AWARDED FIGHT ON A FOUL "Well Laid Plans of Men and Mice Oft Gang Aglee" True in This Case Frostburg, Md., Jan. 26—The "many art of self-defense" received a severe jolt last Monday night, insofar, at least, as to set the patrons of the sport in this city and vicinity to figuring as to whether everything in that line is, or not, safe to watch. Above board, for the honor of the sport and the satisfaction of the large numbers who usually go to witness the events, there are several intervals. To this end, the bout of Mcdon day night has been the occasion of much adverse criticism as to the methods employed by the big moguls of the club and the fans and details for the said exhibition. For some time past the Eureka Athletic club has had an able and valiant defender of its title in the person of the most successful, but has not only become a local favorite, but has also met "in season and out of season," met all comers, good, bad and indifferent—in his class and many out of his class, about a murmur, and to show that he was a good player. He met and subdued boxers considerably heavier than himself, succeeding in putting up exhibitions that were unquestionably some of the best ever witnessed in his city, and has thereby succeeded in placing himself in line as a drawing card. But for some time there has seemed to be an undercurrent that has boded no good to "Little Arthur's" rising success, and the climax was reached on the night before the things in the history of boxing in Fresburg was pulled off. The bout was widely advertised, and Stigall's opponent was named as "Kid" Stewart, of Boston, who no advance information as to weight, no record, no out, and the first time "Little Arthur" heild his opponent at the ringside. He was almost a giant in stature, weighing, it is variously estimated, from ten to as high as twenty-five pounds more than the previous record in the ring proved that he possessed sufficient science and knowledge of the game to have been at least heard from somewhere before. But diligent inquiry and search of all available sources failed to find the previous record of the said "Kid" Stewart. Hereabout are compelled to believe the visiting whirlwind on Monday night was not "Kid" Stewart at all, but some high class boxer brought here under an as-suited name with the evident purpose of putting the kibosh on "Little Arthur" Stigall. Stigall's proper course should have been to absolutely refuse to enter the ring, for the reason that his opponent was a man of great strength. But in order to give the assembled "fans" at least an exhibition he agreed to go in provided New York rules would record. This was at first objected to and then accepted in opposition. The fight started and duried. Six rounds that it continued. Stigall fouled one time after another, the evil dent desire upon the part of the said man being to put "Little Arthur" down and then to be possible. During the melee things went from bad to worse, rule after rule being fragmently violated, so that in the sixth round Samuel Morgan was forced to disguise the imported "howling dervish" and the light, therefore, was Stigall's on a foul. OHIOCHE DEFENDER SERVICE S. Francisco, Cat., Jan. 26.—One of the defenders over given at Dreamland was that an Nate Simpson (white) over Eddie Palmer; Palmer won so far that there seemed no doubt he would get the unanimous verdict of any number of judges. The judges would not for several minutes when Simpson was dead, but Palmer, Among other advantages Palmer, had two knockouts to his credit. In the special event Sailor Fliz (white) was given a decision over Cyclone Willi- ham, he was hardly entitled to. Had Williham, boy instead of a member of the Race, would have had would have the verdict of the judges, but our fighters have to win by a pretty wide margin to get what is coming to them. William was adjudged loser because he was a little hacking in agree- ness and refused to do his share in the leading. At that, he hit Fliz at least five times for every blow he received.

J., Jan. 26.—In one of the fastest basket ball games ever witnessed at the seashore town Alpha Big Five of New York city was defeated by the Vandal A. C. to the tune of 34. The TWAM team how complete Alpha was outclassed by the seashore lads. They outspaced the visitors consistently. Their team work was infinitely better than Alpha's and was indicative of the style of play that has swept aside all Vandal opponents and how complete Alpha was versatile in all departments. While the heaviest scoring fell upon the forwards, Alpha found a quintette with guards equally dangerous as scoring units, and ever alert on the defense. Though Arthur Lauray was the coach, the clever floor work and a sturdy defensive game eveled up matters with the Howard University star. Alpha in the second tried hard to stage a come-back. Rhode replaced Good at guard, and with Glimore as a pivot, with accurate pass, and with sagging, and seagull guarding within the court. Howard broke loose at a crucial moment and whizzed a circus shot through the net and Lauray followed with a sensational one hand stab from the side of the cage. That finished Alpha. In the second tried hard to score a whirlwind. With the referee's whistle the Vandals had a defense and presented a defense that was almost impregnable. Before Alpha could get started the Vandals had a 11 to 1 lead. In the second tried hard to score a whirlwind the score at half time stood 30 to 16. Vandals. Glimore. Wiggins and Thomas starred for Alpha. It was hard to pick an individual star for the Vandals. The systematic manner in which the Vandals went about their work spoke to Joseph Altman and the winning lance displayed when that style of play was called for elicited applause time and again from the capacity crowd. What the Vandals lacked in size and weight they made up for in skill and speed they discussed the playing of the victors. They had come to the shore confident of a victory and were surprised at the showing of the Vandals. They say what they will do to the Vandals on Manhattan Casino court. Well, they can't win championship on Manhattan Casino court. Vandals, 46. Field. Foul. Total.

Just as the street ability of the last two named players was together they made 22 points. The Collegians will go up against the Scholastic A. F. of Pittsburgh Jan. 12 and with their greatly changed line-up are confident of victory. This is the Collegians' schedule for January, Jan. 4, Marysville at Columbus, Jan. 5 Dayton at Dayton, Jan. 6 Indianapolis at Indianapolis, Jan. 11 Dayton at Columbus, Jan. 12 Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh, Jan. 13 Hampton at Hampton, Jan. 26 Cincinnati at Columbus. the first instance of such a case. Mr. Lewis was selected on an all-star team composed of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania players in the nine-league. Mr. Camp started selecting his team of four-players. Solomon Butler proved a hero in the league, running the team from the quarterback position. No doubt had he matriculated at a larger school he would have attracted more attention. The only difference between him and Pollard was that Pollard (in the balloon) had their eyes on Pollard (in the balloon) more to advertise the Brown University anything has ever been done before. The same thing applies to Butler at Dubuque. Who ever heard of Dubuque before? Yet with this lad Butler at quarterback turned every college elecment that played in the defeat. Not once, but on several occasions the grasped the pigskin and, by clever, fast and wonderful dodging has carried it the total length of the field for a touchdown, the most remarkable feat was fumbling a kite on own one-yard line, regaining in behind it and, though tackled several times, he finally downed behind the visitors' goal. Brown and Morrison at Tufts, Triggs and Broyn at Syracuse, Williams, a suburban man, and several others have done well for our team, with won letters. In the high schools in nearly every city of any size was one of our boys plugging away, determined to win the varsity eleven. Many made good. Gallerie in Boston New York had some, so did Philadelphia. Chicago shone when Hokie, Gibbs and Sam Paton made the All-Star high. Aurora turned out one of the fastest ends in the west. So did Des Moines. It is well understood that when one of our boys makes a team here, where there are mixed schools, he has done something just a little bit better than his white playmate; stood the test a little more severely and also had to stand the taunts of the public, who often turn on to see these games. There are others too numerous to mention, as we know their last names, our correspondents in the various towns not having seen fit to send us the matter. Drew Returned to Form Track work, on the other hand, showed the white race that we were still supreme in the athletic world. Howard Drew came back in New York in the indoor meets, surprising every one. Morse, although robbed at the National A. A. games, showed he was up to all that in the indoor meets, and Pollard, Motley, Burwell brothers, Greger, White and others showed their heels to all comers. None, however, came to the attention of the world as did Blinga Diamond, who surprised every one by equalizing the world's second after it had took place previously by Meredith Bingo, and he had been able to have hung up a mark that would have withstood the outlaws of athletes for years to come. Here in Chicago, was a good array of track talent in the schools. Bill Butler, Lowls, Gibbs, Sheppard and a few others now wear the letters of the track. One club made a gobble effort to do some track work, but outside some minor local meets they were unable to do anything, letting the big meets go by without any competition whatsoever. Chechers had said they too. Postoffice had raised their own city city hall. New York attracts the cuc rewards. Triggs was the only college man to make a gry. Bosball is an umbrella, was king. The American Giants cook everything in their path wherever square and fair umplimg was given. Their long jump from the coast to Havana, Cuba, and back set a record. Indianapollah had a fair, club, but their tendency to rob visiting teams of depligs put a damn on their play. MITCHELL COMING FAST By a Star Correspondent St. Louis, Mo. Jan. 5—Jack Mitchell, who has been boxing before various clubs of this city for the past few years, is doing such sterling work that he is fast taking the place of other boys of his weight as the head liner in some of the bouts. Friday night he met Battling Gahee at the Future City Athletic Club. Mitchell, who assisted Sam Langford in his training here for his bout with Jim Johnson, won the economics of that judge of boxers, and has taken on what he used, to lack: plenty of confidence in his ability to deliver. Time was when Jack was considered to be full of "yellow" caused by his poor showing of a couple of years ago with "Buss" Harding Jack quit cold and St. Louis. Harding made Jack quit cold and in such a manner that he became "joke" not so now. Mitchell is one of the toughest propositions in this section of the country at 158 pounds and has the selence, build and aggressiveness to make him a dangerous man for any of the boys to face at that weight. His future in the ring is assured and he will be heard from in some big events before the winter is much older. DREW TRAINS AT DRAKE DREW TRAINS AT DRAKE Des Moines, Jan. 1, Howard P. Drew is training again. Look out. Some records may go to smash again. Despite the fact that his parents and the faculty of Drake do not want him to train, fearing an added injury to his already injured side, Drawe is playing basketball, which he thinks will build up his condition. Drawe will be seen in action at the Smart Set Athletic club, at the Smart Set intended to run in the Milrose games, but unfortunately the Wanamaker club is holding their athletic carnival the same week that Drake students are taking their midyear examinations. ANOTHER CHAMPION COMING Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 5.—Perhaps the highest price ever paid for a "coon dog" in this country was paid for "Butter," Alabama's greatest coon dog, by William Litchford, well known member of the face and owner of the Litchford hotel. The owner was through G. A. Bridgeford, director of the Tuskegee Institute, "Butter" has a record of 72 coons being treed this season. Mr. Litchford is a great coon hunter. they bumped into the Royal Giants, who made the row hard to hoe. In Atlantic City was another good ball team. John Donaldson probably got more press his record with the All-Star player. His record with the All-Star player was remarkable. Along with Reddling and Joe Williams of the Lincoln Giants he hold the strike-out record of the season, although the last two pitched against ex-big leaguers every Sunday. He manned the Twins easily outdrew all other cities. The Twins sixth infantry ball team kept Honolulu in excitement. Basketball is king in the east, the Chicago Y. M. C. A. having not put forth the necessary effort to land "big game," teams around Chicago. The Yankees and teams around Chicago. The Yankees and teams around Chicago. The Scholastics of Pittsburg, Incorporators, Spartans, St. Christophers showing New York the game. Hampton, Lincoln and Howard find their way to the big city each year.

With Old Rellable Jasper on the mound for the Wrecking Crew, the 25th Infantry twisted the tail of the redchevron team from the Artillery Brigade (white) to the tune of 6 to 0 on the post diamond here: At no time was Jasper in any danger. One man, Miller, touched him for a safety and stole second in the first inning. In the second inning Gauthier singled to left, but the other seven frames were goose eggs both for hits and for runs. The pitching of Burnett, for the Artillery was far above his last performance against the Wrecking Crew. This time he held them to eight scat hits, none of which would have counted, but recept in the eighth inning, when in triple, by sing a sacrifice fly, and two hit batters, four runs to Burnett's opponents, two runs in the third inning were casioned by two singles, a fumble ar wild heave by Montgomery to see in an attempt to catch Rogan off kick, and such the attempt results the ball hitting Rogan and bouncing from his midriff into pitched, ping Rogan and Smith, who was on to come home.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER KICKS IN The Management of the Franklin Theater Makes Explanation to Member of Race Who Brings Suit $50,000 Fund Now Being Raised in Chicago With Which to Fight Public Houses, Theaters, Restaurants, Hotels, Etc., Which Discriminate on Account of Color When A. L. Donald of 3650 Calumet avenue won his suit against the Franklin Theater, which is located near Calumet avenue, on Thirty-first street, he demonstrated to the management of that third-rate place of amusement that any discrimination that they might practice upon the members of the race might, in the end, prove costly to them. While it is a fact that the theater management has been granted a new trial by Judge Trude, on a technicality, it is also a fact that Mr. Donald's success at the first trial would have been repeated at the second if he had cared to have gone along with the case. However, it was not his intention to try for a monetary gain, but just for the end which has apparently been accomplished, as witness this letter which was mailed to him a few days ago: Chicago, Dec. 27, 1916. Mr. A. L. Donald. Dear Sir, Relatively to the matter of your failure to procure a seat on the main floor of the Franklin Theater, on the 21st day of October last, we beg to assure you that the only reason therefor was the fact that all the seats on the main floor of the theater that we were filled. It is not the policy of this theater to discriminate against the covered car, any other race or creed, as long patrons are orderly and well behaved. There is at present a movement on foot among our people in Chicago to raise a promissory and emergency fund for the fighting of just such cases. It cannot be impressed too strongly upon the minds of the managers and proprietors of public places, that is, the places which depend upon the public for financial support and profit, that every one of their efforts at this rotten practice of discrimination will be fought out in the courts to the last ditch. We are not in the race-hating South, where the people with the skin of darker hue have no recognized rights, and the sooner that these individuals who practice such things realize it the better they will be off. Every case of this kind should be reported to The Defender at once and each individual report will be given proper attention. A NOTE OR TWO Davis & Stafford, featured with the Miss Puss Puss Puss Burlesque Co. are at the Gaiety Theater, Toronto, Can. this week.

They are playing a long engagement at the Bijou theater over there. Miss Lulu Coates and her Cracker-jacks are away up in town and are knocking them off their seats as usual. A letter hit the old rolltop desk early this A. M. from Thomas and McDonald, who are with the "Brazilian Nuts." They are at Wilkesbarre, Pa., the last half of the present week.

Saturday and Sunday, January 6th and 7th. Continuous 11:30 to 12 P. M. All Seats 15 Cents at the PICKFORD THEATER 35th Street and Michigan Avenue "THE HOUSE OF BETTER PICTURES" Clara Kimball Young Following several releases in which World pictures offered big all-star casts, the most recent World's feature of the popular Clara Kimball Young has been announced on the regular program. The title of the play is "The Rise of Susan," and it is a story strictly American in locale and personnel. There is plenty of comedy offered, chiefly coming from the parvenn, Mrs. Luckett, who has become possessed of an extensive fortune, yet is unable to obtain her cherished wish of becoming a shining light in society. At last her hopes seem about to be realized, as her social secretary arranges to present at one of her affairs a countess who has heretofore refused to appear in public. Preparations are extensive and hurried for the grand affair, and when word is received from the countess that she will not be able to attend—the word arriving the day of the ball—poor Mrs. Luckett is frantic. To disappoint the guests she has lavelted means ruin. Then she decides upon a typically American expedient—"bluff." At her modiste's Mrs. Luckett had been greatly impressed by the regal carriage of one of the models. She prevails upon the girl to impersonate the titled personage, who is not known by any one in the city. Thus begins "The Rise of Susan" at the States theater, and thus will begin a very enjoyable time for those who witness the play at that house on Saturday, Jan. 7. BUNDRANT IN RECITAL Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 5,—Prof. T. W. Bundrant appeared in recital at the Minneapolis School of Dramatic Art last Tuesday evening, before a critical Muso-hit audience, and carried away the honors contended for. His unique renditions were of a character befitting an artist in manner, form and choice. Mr. Bundrant was very able assisted by his wife at the piano. The program selected was of wide diversion, and was added by such talent as that of Madame Addle Crawford Minor. Miss Alberta Bell of St. Paul, and Miss Gracia Corneal, violinist. The sub-zero weather prevented the attendance, of many holders of tickets for this affair, which was most highly commended by the audience. MILES HARRIS DEAD Detroit Mich., Jan. 2.-Miles Harris, former drummer at the Grand Theater, Chicago, and lately connected with a branch of the Shhok Orchestra, died here after a lingering illness.

Frances Nelson and Arthur Ashley are co-stars in this great feature, which comes to the States theater next Sunday, Jan. 7, and this fact alone would be an incentive for the discriminating patrons of this theater to witness this best of the World Film Corporation's productions. Very frequently conditions force the fair daughters of the smaller towns and rural districts to disregard traditions. Heading the subtle cell of the big city, she will pack her traveling bag and a few days later he seen gazing wild-eyed at the long sky line of one of the places that appeals to her innocent mind as "The City of Hope," no doubt wondering if the clouds kiss the tall towers that rise high heavenward. "To her it is the "City Where Dreams Come True," where the fairy prince who awaits her arrival will make vanish her sorrows, that all may be happy again. And so all fairy daughters may find it, like Louise Lloyd, they seek through the right way what most women deserve—eternal happiness. "What Happened at 22" does not often happen, but, supported by an excellent cast, the two stars ably demonstrate what did happen, and what every woman and every man had ought to guard against. It is a clean, wholesome, interesting and well worth seeing play, with enough thrills to satisfy all. PHILADELPHIA NEWS By Mile Bradford Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 5.—The Prince of Hayt, forty people, headed by Bradford & Janetine, will open at the Standard theater on Jan. 22.

CITY CLUBS MUST HELP The women of this city are fortunate to have the clubs they are interested in. Of mornings the cars are crowded with hundreds going to work. For the most part they are orderly, but there could be a few who are not so orderly and the Defender—and it is very reliable—that some of the women who are working in the hotels are not behaving the way they should. They begin to make enemies out of the women they have to work beside; that they cut some capers rather unbecomingly, and fusses with the white women who have worked there for years and that they don't have to work, as they have a faith in God. These women who are guilty of such gross misconduct should stop and think means to them and the Race to carry them. They are a reflection and will in the future hurt chances for others to get work for our women to do their best favor by good department. It would be a wise step if some of the women's clubs face and see what the matter square in the face and see what the Race to carry them and their best conditions. It would be better to do some work along this line, that we would the prettiest dress at the meeting, and we would take a hand, alone, "self help and racial upkeep"; let other clubs do likewise.

To the Chicago Defender: This paper is so used to arousing the interest of the public, why it has not asked the questioned ago—"Should a Minister Have an Education?" Yes, he should have nothing wrong before he should be allowed to enter the pulpit. This part of the country is too small to be a minister. A person can be thrusted for a sermon and go to the church and when he gets there he can hear one of the people that so off to different schools and are surrounded by good teachings, and they would like to meet different homes they would like to meet in different places of training instead of running to the pulpit. I really believe the devil accomplishes one of his great tasks when he gets there and he pulpit. Lots of them do not believe in education. They teach their people to be a minister, a minister is a corrent one. He should be educated—Ed Hill, Pascagola, Miss. CHINAMAN INSULTS FLAG CHINAMAN INSULTS FLAG A.
