LONG HAIR THAT IS SOFT, SMOOTH AND GLOSS Quinade, invented by a New York Chemist, Stimulates and Nourishes the Roots of the Hair. Just as a good fertilizer nourishes the soil and produces a rich crop of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy create a healthy condition of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a big growth. QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under personal supervision of a registered pharmacist of over 25 years. This is a guarantee that NADE is as near pharmaceutically correct as can be. The ingredients are selected with great care and nothing enters this high class separation unless it is of the high quality. Seebys' QINASOAP, the ideal champo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It should be used about every two weeks. Both articles are sold by druggists and dealers at 256 each, or by the Drug Co. 79 E. 130th St. New York City, on receipt of price. Write for sample of QUINADE, mentioning the name of this paper.-Adult. WEST VIRGINIA Weston, W.

We have put up with the crumbs that have fallen from the white man’s table as our Portion so long we are considered ungrateful if we even dare to hint it is about time we were eating at the first table, The fact that we are paying for cake and ice cream and getting skimmed milk and hardtack should strike the average mind as being a trifle unjust. There are many good people who believe we should continue to take what is handed to us without complaint, in the hopes of getting more and better things in the future. Each individual is selfish, more or less; if the bread they cast upon the waters does not return to them a thousand fold, no more bread will they cast. To seat the dark man at the first table would be to deprive them- selves, perhaps, of a portion of some choice morsel—and what’s the use— the black people are not going to press their claims, so they should worry, Dr, Spingarn and some other estimable gentlemen are advocating the es- tablishment of a “Colored Officers’ Training Camp,” and put forth argu- ments in its favor that are worthy of consideration only because these gentlemen are sincere, friendly, and believe they are aiding us to take a step!forward, Lieut.-Col. Charles Young, stationed at Fort Huachuae, Arizona, is in a position where he cannot speak as freely as perhaps he should like, and, wifile he stands for absolute right, absolute justice, and absolute and un- qhalified equality of opportunity, he says: “I have learned that no one in tis world has all he wants. We must all, in actual practice, at times stoop 2 AA conquer, not cringing, but with our eyes upon a star, | admit that a whole loaf is better than a hdir;’ncthehalf beats none at all. Two wrongs never make a right. Let us train and prepera.ccurselves in every way for the eventualities that appear to be heading our way. Wé-ze going to need leaders for the Colored regiments. It does not matter how thep»ce made, so that we have them in the hour of need.” To ask for permission to fight with a class of people who absolutely need and cannot do without our service in the event of war, is a huge joke from every point of view. White, men have no objections to Colored regi- ments, if they can officer them—simply a continuation of the master and menial propaganda. A half toad isn’t always better than no loaf at all; better that we have no regiments than have them officered by white men, Prejudice is a barrier that cannot be broken down in a day, but the effort must come to break it, and there is no better time than the present to begin. When our country needs men to defend its honor, the black man shoulders his gun without a murmur, and the white man, through the kindness of his ‘heart, gives him a prominent place in the front ranks where the bullets are the thickest, and unfortunately, bullets are no respecters of persons, Though it might seem too idealistic to have mixed regiments, that is what Uncle Sam will be compelied to do, if we are to have a united country. No one denies that we sorely need efficient military training for offi- cers, privates and every citizen, but we do not want it, nor will we take it in a “Jim Crow” way, if we never get it, There are a few in our midst who are willing to sacrifice the many to gain some selfish point. Dr. Emil Hirsch, the best known Rabbi perhaps in this country, raised a protest against a movement to organize one or more exclusively Jewish regiments, holding if this country stood for anything it should stand for unity—one flag, one people, one country. If we are good enough to fight, we are good enough to receive the same preparatory training our white brothers receive. When a separate training camp is established for the Irish, German, Italian, Swede, and all other hyphenated Americans, then, and not till then, will we consider it our duty to support such an organization.

Be a Critic One of the best bills of the season opened her for the first half on Monday. There are so many good things offered (during the course of the program) that it is really hard for one to single a lead. However, a start will be made beginning at number one on the bill, which was Snow and His Ten. This act proved to be the fastest act of its kind ever seen here. Snow has built a reputation in the past for this quality, and he and the excellent crew of entertainers with which he has surrounded himself do more in the allotted fifteen minutes than any bunch that ever shook a leg in this house. The singing introduced, while fair, was secondary, as Booting began after a few lines and continued in a wide variety throughout, the strutting of Snow being a delightful feature. Maley & Woods, a real good dancing and singing pair, pleased, the male end of the act turning loose some clean cut dramatic work. This act had a novelty opening out of the ordinary. The middle of the bill was utilized by Jessie Shirley & Co., in a sketch called Silk "Threads; when the fact that bet- stones have often been seen here, lioned, it must not be supposed it's one isn't O K. However, it a little in certain places, but moment was such that interest it awake. The comedy of the Among the Movies Manager Al Gaines served the patrons of this theater an artistic treat when he repeated with "The Spoilers," and the feature did a remarkably good business. During the remainder of the week we had "Behind the Lines," two "Walk-in" the Dog" contests, "The Girl From Frisco," the Last Fraud," "Black Orchids" and "The Payment." On Sunday we have Autonio Moreno and Peggy Hyland in "A Rose of the South." THE LINCOLN On Monday we finished the Liberty serial and had the first episode of "The Purple Mask" to great business. Following Mike "The Lass of the Lumberlands," "The Lass of the Lumberlands," "The Yellow Monkey," "The Vampires," and the final number of "Climpson Stain." On Sunday we have Rebecca Warwick in the great World Feature, "All Man," and other good pictures. On Monday "The Supreme Sacrifice" drew an excellent attendance and the same was the rule for the balance of the week, during which we ran No. 14 of the Liberty serial, "The Thread of Life," "The Good Women," "The Man in Black," the final chapter of the sequel to "The Diamond from the Sky," "The Double Room Mystery," and "The End of the World." On Sunday we will have the Pathe hand colored five-reeler, "Sultana," and other attractions. THE STATES On Monday we presented the first two series of the new serial, "Pearl of Army," featuring Pearl White, and will continue to show it weekly until to finish of the serial which is claimed to be the best ever produced. Monday will be "The Army" day. During the balance of the week we have had "The Master of Thunder," "Shielding Shadow," "The Matrimonial," "The Crucial Test," "The Purple Mask," Theda Bara in "The Misen" and "A Woman Alone." Sunday brings Wm. Russell in "The Love Hermit," and others. program during the present week is boast right up to the standard and a choreography have had a good business. The amateur song contest, at which we distribute copies to the children and which takes place every Friday night is proving a great drawing card. We finished with "The Shielding Shadow" and started with the serial liberty during the week. On Sunday we have booked William Farnum in the great Fox feature, "Fighting Blood," and other good pictures. Don't miss this Sunday bill. THE ATLAS We did a great business with Theda Bara in "Her Double Life" on Monday night and business continued good durability. We had six of her "A Sister of Six," "The Shielding Shadow," "The Brand of Cowardice," "The Rough Neck," Charley Chaplin in "The Flourwalker," and "Saint, Devil and Woman." On Sunday we have booked Bessie Barrascale in the Triangle feature, "A Conner in Coleens" and the very latest Keystone comedies. Our billing during the current week has shown class and business has been exceedingly good. We have had during the week "The Right to Be Happy," "The Social Secretary," "Black Orchids," "The Chaperone," "A Woman Alone," and "The Breaker." Coming Sunday we have the special feature, "The Last Sentence," featuring Mark McDermott and Marian Nesbitt. We also have a Paramount travelogue and a Nestor comedy. THE FOUNTAIN "Twin Souls" was the feature that drew good houses on Monday night and business was fine during the week. Our song review remains as popular as ever. We also had this week "Going Straight," "The Girl From Frisco," "The Price of Same," "The Manager of the B. & A," and "The Man Who Went Sane." Sunday brings Theda Bara in "Romec and Juliet" and other pictures. Candy for the children at the Sunday matine. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 13.—This week has been a big one at this house. On two days we ran the great all-colored three-reel feature, "The Trooper of Troop K," and it proved a veritable sensation. The vaudeville was classy, and included Keene & Fox. This is some act and it is fit for the big time. It could hold its own with a company, Bledseax and Byrd, who made great and the real show stoppers. James Hutler, the drummer, is a knockout and is one of the regular features at this house. Business great and always growing.—Greer. The profession everywhere is asked to send in news matter or have your mail addressed to this office. THE GRAND THE PHOENIX THE LINCOLN THE WASHINGTON THE STATES THE STAR THE ATLAS THE PICKFORD THE FOUNTAIN THE VAUDETTE housemaid averaged about 900, which is counted good at this stage of the season. Eddie Foyer, actor, was next, and was clever enough to get away with a little burlesque chatter referring to the Threads thing which preceded him. His demonstration of the tough joint waiter's ordering system was a real riot. He then gave a sample of his histrionic putting on The Shooting of Dan McInnis, putting on the Harrorm Floor, the latter by selection and not from any choice of he or me). The five Normans, recognized as the best of the many club juggling acts, was last on, and held everyone for the curtain. The last half of last week held over Princess Wec Wec & Co., which continued very popular. Three Taketas, Japanese equilibriests, was right up to the standard of excellence set by the Japs who have equilibrired here in the past. Edith Note did some really wonderful lightning change work during the rendition of her songs. Pearl Bros. & Co. are in a newly plum act, pleased and Sebastian Mollery & Co., introduced a comedy bicycle act that scream from start to finish. Griffin Sisters & Co. will be the piece de resistance next week. The perfection of neatness is a fair way to describe the popular Jack Wigglins and his single here this week. He has many new features to offer and his songs and clever dancing places him in a class far above the singles ordinarily seen these days. The Marshall Sisters. Nina and Ethel, who were seen here as some time ago, are demonstrating the two as a real company and that the new crowd. The act is chock full of good things and the male impersonation by Miss Ethel is great. Ed Grin and Chick complete the bill. Ed has always been a great favorite with the patrons here and now, with his clever partner is going better than ever. This is one of the best bills seen here for some time.

Refined Entertainment The Best Place in Chicago to Spend a Pleasant Evening Corner 29th and State Sts. THE LOVE HERMIT The celebrated Mutual star, William Russell, will be seen in the great five reel release of the above title, which comes to the States theater for one day only, Sunday, Jan. 21st. It is a picture with "body" and a large and timely idea behind it. There is absorbing interest throughout the production. Tom Weston, a shrewe young broker, employed in the Wall street office of James Bolton, a heavy operator in stocks, succeeds in blocking the plans of a "bear" coterie to hammer down the stock of the C. & W., a fluctuating railway stock, and in making a million dollars for his chief. Grateful for the services of his employee, Bolton invites Tom and his brother Hal, with the flances of the latter, Grace Hammond, to spend the week end at the Bolton country house up the river. While there Tom has opportunity to pursue his hitherto distant affair with Marle, the broker's daughter, who unknown to him, is engaged to a young New Yorker named Jack Hillman. Marie is so much impressed with Weston that they are to all intents and purposes engaged within a few days and Weston is preparing to inform Bolton when the latter surprises the couple in an embrace and orders Weston from the house. To complicate matters, when discovered, the daughter denounces Weston for making love to her. Weston offers no explanation to Bolton, but determined to be revenged on both he and Marie, he enters the stock market in his own behalf. With his knowledge of Bolton's affairs he is enabled to corner the latter and bring him to the verge of ruin. Then Marie visits Weston's office, the long cherished grudge is banished. Bolton is let down easily, and there are wedding bells for the young folk. The play is a thrilling one, well acted and admirably filmed. GRIFFIN SISTERS On Monday night and all next week, the famous Chicago favorites, the Griffin Sisters, and their company of eight pony girls, will be the big noise at the Grand. It has been a long time since this pair of real performers have been seen on the Stroll, and the fact that the Sisters call Chicago their home lends zest to the engagement. It is claimed for the bunch of beauties which comprises the company that there has never been a real "Girl" act that carried so much real talent with the ability to put it over. Those of us who have had an opportunity in the past to get acquainted with the work of the stars in question will realize just what a "Girl" act will mean when it is considered that the Griffins wrote, rehearsed and staged the piece, which is billed, "A Bit of Hawai'i," and this being the case, front seats should be at a premium during this engagement. If the press notices which have reached the old roll-top desk signify anything the patrons of the Grand have some treat in store for them. All over the East the act has been a real sensation, and it has been featured on the best bills all over that section of the country. The Griffin Sisters' new creation, "The Dance of the Hula Squabs," will be the big feature. Let's not miss DEPPE IN RECITAL Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 19—Mr. Lois B. Deppe, the young dramatic baritone of Springfield, Ohio, who has been studying voice in New York, appeared at the Watt street school auditorium Jan. 10, 1917, in a joint recital in conjunction with Mme. Venzella Newsom-Jones, reader, a graduate of the King School of Oratory: Miss Edna M. Stratton, soprano, a student at Carnegie institute, and Miss Jemaine V. Carnegie, a graduate of the Pratt School of Music. The affair, which was a brilliant success, each participant being heartily received, was under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Lewis. Mr. Deppe was in excellent voice and presented a varied program, a feature of which was a group of songs by Negro composers, namely, "Jean," by Burleigh: "Since You Went Away," by Johnson: "The Robin and the Red, Red, Rose," by Roberts: "When you're come for the One You Love," by Thompson, and "When You Come to Me," by Wilson. On the strength of the impression made in this recital, Mr. Deppe can expect to be greeted by a full house on his next appearance in the city. Just every so often somebody kicks in something that is 100 per cent real stuff that carries the dopesky of more than passing interest. There is nothing hitting the old roll-top desk regularly that is of more interest than the letters of Norris Smith, who holds a prominent place in the American Colony at Foggrville, W. C. England, and in the last epistle arriving he says thusly: Farrell is once more in a first class theater, playing this year in the Drury Lane Theater Pantomime. You know Carlisle, that first came to this country as part of the team of Carlisle & Baker, and later of Carlisle & Wellman? Well, the gent is now doing a single and is passing as an Indian, the Prince Ragard. Lizzie Avery Gennner is back in London with her little son Carlo, and sends regards all the friends. Rastus & Banks are still in Denmark and are going to Russia, as are also Bark and Freeman. Rowland the Juggler is in Edinburgh, Scotland, leaving there next week for Copenhagen, Denmark. Tell Ruby Shaw that George Baker, my partner, wants to know he ever sees his mother or sister in Indianapolis, and to write to him at my address. How are my friends Bill Foster, Sylvester Russell, Phil R. Miller, Walter Kane, Sam Davis of Davis & Walker, Sam Patterson, Col. Marshall, Maj. R. R. Jackson, and all the rest of the citizens? Remember me to them all. Well, Old Pal, I hope you won't take as long in replying to my letter as I have taken in replying to yours. I hope you and all the staff have a successful New Year. A Tute-Ler, Norris Smith, 56 Broad St., London, W. C., Eng. TE KELLEF NOW AT THE DEBAKER THEA IN Even in our big cities a woman's life is oftimes a very lonely one. An honest housewife is a beautiful thing to see and yet there are few other than these wives who realize the bareness there can be in a perfectly comfortable and happy home. In this play the girl is even denied the opportunity of spending an evening with friends, as her husband's position is in a small switch tower entirely excluded from all save one daily communication with the outer world and living people. The play is bound to grip attention and hold it to the very last. Alice Brady plays the leading role with the charm and art that has made her one of the biggest stars in picturedom. "A Woman Alone" is a remarkably strong feature and the following is a short synopsis of the story which will give you a good insight as to the theme; Just above the time that Nellie Waldron is beginning to fall under the spell of oppression brought on by the unnatural loneliness of her home, Stephen Carter stops off at the little switch tower with his son Stephen Jr. The latter is a young man who has been accustomed to having his own way regardless of the feelings of others. He is rather bored by the trip he has been making with his father and is attracted by the winnie Nellie. See the way compassion keeps following this innocent girl. She is made to undergo many hardships, from which she really should have been shielded. The entire story, in five great reels, will be shown at the States theater for one day, Saturday Jan. 20th, and a great entertainment is in store for those attending. NEW YORK NEWS By Billy E.

GO TO BANK DAY URGED GO TO BANK DAY URGED The City of Chicago has had every kind of day observed that comes up. There is Tag Day, Mothers' Day, Go to Church Day, Buy a Book Day, Health Day, Home Coming Day, Prayer Day and maybe more. They have been wisely observed and no doubt very effective. What the Chicago Defender would like to see among our people is a "Go to Bank Day." It would like to see the ministers of the churches urge its members to have a day each week or month, the time your salary is received to go to a bank, start a savings account, no matter how small. The time is here when such should be inculcated in the minds of our people, in the hearts of the young men and women. Too much of the money made by our people is spent foolishly and frivolously. Every day, cases are known where people who have made good money while in affliction comes upon them they are penniless, to a society with insurance. There are others to make "good money," enough to buy home or eat in good securities, but do not use for their old age, depending upon their friend to keep the "wolf from the door." Of the days named above, to the Defender's is the most needed. Beginning with this week, this paper is going to urge all its newsboys to start a savings account with some bank. This paper wants the boys to conserve their earnings. it wants its readers, in fact the whole Race to save part of what they make. Let the leaders of the Race in their addresses before large gatherings urge a "Go to Bank Day" and the same thing could be properly urged in lodge rooms and secret societies. The minister that had a good, healthy set of people who save their money can be depended upon to help the church and members of lodges who save their money can always be ready to pay their fees. The old adage, "Dollar Is Your Best Friend," is as true today as it was thousands of years ago. If you doubt the banks, start an account or savings with "Ucle Sam's" bank.

A Tribute WILLIAM WALLACE BAGBY BY W. ALLISON SWEENEY The Celestial City: Guard at the Gate: "Who have you; some Prince of a Realm, Duke, Count, Millionaire, or one of those grinning Hypocrites, who down where you come from, prayed long prayers, and then WRONGED HIS FELLOW MEN?" "Neither of these, sir—I bring you a MAN!" "Say no more! Pass in and find a place, GLOSE TO THE IVORY THRONE." In the death of William Wallace Bagby of the firm of Bagby Bros., 3704 State street, the business world of Chicago, and beyond it the Race—in which there is room for many more of his kind for a member, who in many respects was an inspiration and a model. Absolutely square and honest in his personal and business relations with his fellow man; his simple word being as reliable and gilt edged as his signed agreement, his whole life was one long proof that HONESTY is not only the BEST policy, but the ONLY one that in the long run—as man's life is lived, and rated, that brings a SURE reward: The unqualified esteem and praise of those acquainted with him in the years "When he was at his best," and who never faltered or changed in that esteem down to the time, and covering it, when the years demanding their toll—he was 69—his eye had lost its lustre and his step its spring.
