HART There is probably no more popular screen star before the public than William Shatner, a charismatic character of the west. Never in the past has his remarkable talent been brought out as in the past, when which he has been guided to that master of directors, Thomas H. Ine. In the exercise of his skill in these roles, he has also played the latest Aircraft release, 'The Narrow Trail' a vehicle of more than usual power. It will be found to be to play the great west so superior that thunder affinities to remove it almost entirely from the field of compari- nies, his portrayal of ice Harding the band's lead singer, higher planes of artistry, for through his art he has visualized with sympa- thetic effect a ruminantly character which in his own might well have proven a caricature. 'ThearrowTrail' comes from the prestigious theater on Saturday of this showing in this neighborhood. INTOLRANCE The management of States theater, where "Intolerance" was shown a chance to age, is eager for the demand for re-booking a wonderful picture in the near future. The thousands who viewed the $2,000,000 spatula theatre is its most important opportunity to see it again at the popular photoplay house; it will remain for two days and this will most likely be the time it will be shown in the district. I want to say that this, has been the best year from a financial standpoint that my circuit has ever had. All of the houses have more money, but we need more live managers and box office attractions to get the job. I have changed the policy of every house on my circuit until I and who the public wanted and forced the managers to put it in and the people that they made money. We just want to see now is the Race滴滴 in motion pictures and the companies also. I want to give one night a week to Race films exclusively. I am sure it would be a new move to adopt this method, but the people we have enough pictures. Now then, the next move is to let one man handle all of the booking. I will screen the pictures that we will soon have them made. There is the Lincoln Film Co. with Noble Johnson, which is one of the most international stuff we want, and there is W. M. Foster, who can sure make them happen if he gets the right candidate for the job. There are some movies with no material at all. Now, how many managers are willing to help their own "bird" of course? I am in no way connected to them, but I believe I can book the pictures in every house that has a real manager. What is want to elevate my business? I am doing all I can to get box office attractions. I want more Race people working and more Race capitalize in the city. I won't do too late. The only theaters that have lost money this year were those who thought they knew more than their path. Why not put your house on the S. H. Dudley Circuit and make money, all the houses are doing now and they do it and don't interfere with, his plans and bookings. Now, there are other agents also, and to show you how to book your house let the Consolidated Vaudeville Manager book it. All I want is harmony elevation for my people and I am in the booking game—Sam Evans. Try him, also, as he may do more than either of us, as he is young and I am an agent handle your house. It is the only way to make business and get a good bill and have success. Think it over and get these pictures in our houses at All in favor, write to the Roll Top Desk and tell him and he realizes the real Bace man and never was or will be a knocker to anything the brother does. I have watched every move he has made, and I have kept up with him. Keep up, Tony. You are doing lots of good to the profession. I wish you had more like you. thank you for your help. I sincerely hope that it will do some good to all of my profession, regardless of what I get out of it for it to be. I am sure I will not dory. and I wish to say that S. H. Dudley's Theatrical Enterprises are the only ones of their kind in the world, booking the very best of everything. No "bull." Lock it over. S. H. DUDLEY, Grand Opening OF FEDERAL TAILORS "A HEART TO HEART TALK WITH THE PEOPLE" december, the most important month of the year carries with it the thought, "WHAT SHALL WE BUY HIM FOR CHRISTMAS?" money cannot be wasted these days on knick-nack and presents we usually give and so that thought comes again, "WHAT SHALL WE GIVE HIM?" The life of the subject of this sketch reads: a story by a stage play, Night's Circineusness-like first view, a ninety-eight oth of day on a farm in Tennesson, the labored here, barefoot, safety, the labored here, barefoot, normal until late at night, and oriented to town, as befits a man in adjoining the bread by the sweat of his life of age nine he was taken by his wife, of Cotter, to Brownville, Tenn., to hear a number of the wonderful Republican orator, compound the tenets of Republican speech.

Leaving with honors and distinctions in scholarship, with the plaudits of faculty and students still vinging in his ears, he had an assistant attorney general in the Land of dom. Having read that Illinois, the storious commonwealth of Grant and Lincoln, had an assistant attorney general in the land of intrepid Col. Franklin A. Dawson, he determined to study the lessons of Braco, Solon, Justinian and Blackstone in the city of-Chicago. Three books are dire poverty, lack of nourishing food, clothing with the jeers of the State, dudes and philosophers ringing in his ears, he plodded on, trusting in God and the star of his destiny. At last success, and we laid him leaving the classic halls of the Illinois College of Law and the Webster College of Law with the coveted degree.

Proctor Proctor was born at Johnstown, Pa., Dec. 15, 1896, and when a young lad he came to Chicago with the family, where he met the public school, and after finishing entered the Wendell Phillips high school, where he completed a three-year course. It was always his desire to cast his lot in the business world, and in answer to this call he matriculated Howard university, Washington, D. C. the commercial department, where he remained for three years. Shortly after war was declared returned to Chicago and enlisted in the machine gun company of the Eighth regiment. From the time of his enlistment up to his death he was considered a perfect officer and his rise from private to sergeant did not come as a surprise to those who knew him and did form his good fellowship. Captain Gwyn has lost one of his best men. Funeral services were held at Beran Baptist church, Fifty-second and Dearborn streets, Monday morning at 11:30. His body was laid to rest at Oakwood cemetery. Enlist in the Aviation Corps! Now that the War Department is straling every effort possible to make its strength tally with full regimental requirements of the foreign legions, all barriers or harmful powers are being torn asunder to accomplish this purpose. The emergency call that we have failed to answer thus far is in the United States army aviation corps. The part of the army is being looked upon by the means by which the United States can carry many and torment the city of Berlin, forcing the belligerents to their knees and establish peace. Surely we would enjoy the distinction of being among the number to bring about such a feat. We are not the first ranks of all the various department army, save the aviation corps. It is true that several had offered their services in this phase of army life when conditions were not favorable and we received with little favor by those who were in the department in charge, but as conditions are almost reverse to what they were then, it is imperative as well as dutiful to enlist in this corps of army workers. are numbered largely in the artillery, signet corps, dismounted cavalry, fighter corps, and many other walks of army life, but we are singularly objectionable to our absence in the aviation corps. Jews, Italians, Greeks and many other nations allied with us have a full repulsion against us, certainly no less adapted to this work than in fact, we are held as better mechanics, and our ability as fighters remains unquestioned.

Va., Dec. 14.—This city and district named Roscoe Cockling Simmons, famous writer and statesman, Friday-night, and he entertained the city in return. Col. Simmons delivered an address to the army before a cheering crowd of the city's addressers. The daily press made much the assurance and his address, but not half as much as his own people made of both him and his speech. The spokesman was at his best, as the reporters who sat under him and then lend pencils lifet at him and then lend pencils lifet at his visit to this section put the Race His visit much higher than many held it before. Col. Simmons spoke at the army. He was introduced by W. Justin Carter, the noted lawyer. On the platform were the leading men of this section, many great things he said were these: "Let me speak for one-tenth of the population of this country. Let me speak for the American Negro; native here and to the manor born. I will for him that he knows but one government speaks but one language, and claims but one flag—the flag that set him free. "Living side by side with the proudest and noblest figure of time; side by side with the American white man, the Frenchman, the German, the ment, has but one request. He asks for the gun of war, for the uniform of his country, and for the command from the officer, afraid of neither life nor death, which shown the field. He will do the rest." Freeman Must Pay "We live in the only free country in the world," said Col. Simmons. "To the question of 'Where is the government of liberty without a throne?' our nation makes the reply. To the challenge for the sign, every star in Old Glory makes the answer plain. The sign of the past are but a fairy tale comparison of the present on the battlefields of Europe. Let women weep and men pray, but it is liberty which exacts that freemen it to be free." Calla in Roosevelt Then he told of the desire of his Race to bear their share in the fight which will make for world democracy, he continued, "my country democracy," he owned in lessons of liberty. Why does the government hold back when apy and traitor ply their trade of death? Organize the American Negro, soldier among soldiers, as the Home Guards, among officers, as the House of Joseph, and I promise that apy and traitor will cry 'mercy' we are cry 'peace'. "All I am, all I hope to be, I owe to the American flag. That flag flew above Grant at Appomattox, above Meade at Pittsburg. Whoever, white or black, stands against that flag, stands against me." "Weep No More, My Lady" "My faith is planted in the American white man and in the unfailing promises of my God. When the solitary mighty army shall have sent the Hun to retrieve the Rhythe they are going to pick up Liberty from 'e dust of our land, wipe away the tear from her eyes, and tell her, 'Weep no more, my ady'," the orator made the assertion: "I speak for a Race of warriors, first in war, but last in peace; and the fact is they are not particular about peace at RAYMOND CENTER The Co-operative Buying Club will begin its buying for the holidays on Tuesday.

Hale denced the charge as a frame-up to get Mr. Johnson back to West Virginia. Upon the request for a date, Commissioner Richard W. Hale, leading lawyer for Mr. Johnson, said the date should be set after the resurrection. Never since "The Birth of a Nation" were there so many people of the Racca interested in a case which has created further controversy over the United States. Fully 500 were present at the hearing. Much credit should be given to William Monroe Trotter, secretary of the Equal Rights League, for his assistance in securing additional counsel to defend him against the charge. There are five lawyers representing Mr. Johnson and the indications are that he will never be returned to West Virginia for trial. Mrs. Johnson, the wife of Mr. Johnson, was the judge's hand.

The clubs as follows: Editor Chicago Davis In regard to the question of providing Christmas kits for the men of the One Hundred and Eighty-third brigade at Camp Grant, III, I am welcome to the assembly as well provided for as the other men, and, if possible, a little better. I know that arrangements are being made to care for the men of the white regiment, applying to you to ask that you be master up with the Colored clubs and organizations. We have on our roll today ninety-six officers and 1,021 enlisted men, but we are taking care to ask that by Christmas we shall have about 1,125 enlisted Colored men. If you can arrange to have Christmas kits for ninety-six officers and 1,125 men, I know that it will be very easy. By Christmas kits, I mean a package to contain four or five articles, such as a corn cob pipe, a package of tobacco, cigarettes, a sweet chocolate, a set of dominoes, a quick game and things on that order. If any of the ladies have relatives or friends among our men, they can put whatever they wish into their name and company. I will see that they are given to the persons for whom they were intended and will update the unaddressed ones among the other men.

St. Christopher, "red and black" machine, however finished may be their attainments as a basket ball aggregation, seemed on Thursday evening last to be shy on hospitality. With Manager Vaughn's, Lightning Five journeying all the way from the peaceful burg of Brooklyn, at the invitation of Manager Rolston, it must be said they were not accorded the deference usually shown distinguished visitors. St. Christopher seemed not to consider at all the aspirations of Manager Vaughn's talent, but sailed into them from the first toot of the whistle and Carlton never from that time was in a position to assert their mission or object in coming over. The game opened with St. Christopher's reliance being placed in the great forwards, Robeson and C. Jenkins; H. Jenkins at center and Bradford and Capers at guard. Manager Yaughn placed Brooklyn's hopes in the UNION—1917 CHAMPIONS Richmond, Va., Dec. 14—The Virginia University aggregation of this year broke all of its previous records in the season. The season, the season, Union has decisively beaten the leading contenders for the championship crown. The score in neither the Hampton nor the Howard game was close. Union really outplayed her opponents. Hampton, although much heavier than the Unionists, was completely outclassed by their lighter and more aggressive opponent. Hampton howls at the Unionists, and the Unionists on account of the war. Union has also suffered a similar fate. She lost five of her stars, including her captain. The impenetrable line produced by Coach Robinson contained only three regulars, and the team made any consistent gains against it this season. The red and steel backfield was easily the season's peer. In Gregory and Huduc Union has developed a strong team produced since the Jays of Terry and Gray of Howard. Gregory is conceded by all to be one of if not the fastest player that has ever thrown the molecule into the air. Huduc left vacant by Gayle, and even excels the great Hampton star in defensive work. There are not three men on all the other teams combined that can compare with this trio. Woody work with the team to self and has been a great factor in the team's success. Curt. Purvey, last season All-American tackle, stands head and shoulders above any other team on the ground and style of playing has been the undoing of her opponents. Some of the teams with regret acknowledge Union's superiority, which can't be doubted. Even Lincoln after being defeated by a victorious victim, sought a chance to come back. Hampton after her crushing slaughter of Howard on Thanksgiving day dreamed of another chance at victory. Why? Any team he so unportmanlike as to he礼应 to give honor to whom honor is due, or to make frivolous excuses for its defeat, or even to establish a precedent for best team won and today the red and steel machine stands as the premier squad of the association. Union's record for the season is as follows: 0 wins, 0 losses, 0 total. 0 Union championship. Union 34, V. N. I. I. 0; Union 91. Opponents 0. 9TH ST.

Their saving at times was wonderful, but they lacked the shooting cyes. But for the latter defect the game would have not shown such a top-sided score. The defense was excellent game.

Gambler, captain and coach of the soldiers, played a whirlwind game, as did Leuts. Tuck and Garrett. Ferguson was too completely covered.

WABASH BOTS TEAM BEATS.FIRST NATIONALS The Wabash avenue Y boy team opened their season last Saturday with two victories to their credit. The juniors started the ball rolling by running over the fast 105-pound team from the Bohemian Settle House during the first half of the time. The youngsters handled the ball like old timers, passing around their opponents with ease. Reginald Waddell starred for his team, caging four baskets rapid succession from the first date and the half. National baskets was a walkaway for the Miller and Winters cared each from the floor.

PATRIOTIC CLUB HOLDS CONTEST FOR SOLDIERS The essay contest and musicle under the auspices of the Young Women's Patriotic Club of Bethel A. M. E. church, W. 30. M. Cook, D. D., pastor, was held Sunday, Dec. 6. Although the thermometer registered five degrees above zero, a splendid audience greeted the efforts of Mrs. Irene McCoy Galine, who was the leader in the contest movement. In order to increase the interest in the contest Mrs. Galine urged C. J. Jackson, jeweler, 3242 South State street, to give the successful contestants prizes. The subject was "The Woman in War." The first prize was a diamond ring and the second a beautiful diamond lavender. The winner of the first prize was Mrs. Patula Brown of Herman Baptist School, who had been used that women were in the present war and told of the history of the noted women who had taken part in other wars. The thought was brought out that while they are doing their part on the battle field, it was the part on the battle field and had given up on left, widowed and yet, set knitting, mending and sending things to the front that her son might feel the comfort that her son might be in the trenches. The winner of the second prize was Mrs. La Ursa Snelson, St. Mary A. M. E. church Sunday school, and the winner of the second prize was the "story" of the noble deeds of women on the battle field—was a "perfect picture." She, too, brought out the many practical things that men are doing on the battle field in the present crisis. Mrs. Snelson showed the importance of receiving great applause. Others on the program were Miss E. Ferguson, Lincoln Memorial Sunday school; Miss Eleanor Garnett, Maywood Baptist Sunday school and Mrs. Leona Barer, Bethel Sunday school. The aim of the program was to send Sunday school literature to the soldiers at Camp Grant and Logan.

Praised the young women and the Jackson, the jeweler, for his generosity. The judges were white women from the National Board of Defense. C. BIGGS' MODERN DAIRY M.

Among all who have been musicians and died young, it is hard to thank of one who in his short life has so typified the ideal radiance of youth and beauty in this composition. "The Wedding. Feast." The men and women who compose this club deserve to feel proud that the high appreciation and love the high appreciation of the club have worked so long and faithfully. Why should there not be a feeling of loyalty with such an organization as the Apollo Musical Club of Chicago, the oldest and bestette of the Apollo Club of Chicago took part, using for its first number *Wild, Out Bells*, (Gounod) for the second number *The Lost Chord* (Mann), and *The Song of the visitors* was all that could be sung. They sang with a view of observing the music and the music. It is indeed a sign of progress when twelve white singers make such a concert to come out of such an inclement evening to participate in a mixed program. "Art knows no color." George E. Duncan directed his precision and showed an intimate knowledge of the work at hand. A very decided asset in Mr. Duncan's makeup is enthuliasm, and while he what he does know he knows to be very fiber, to the very bottom. Mrs. Plagie Blair maintained appended equilibrium and used good judgment in her accompaniments. D. H. Lucas, the tenor solos of the sextet, sang the "Inset" (Buck) "If You Were Lo Le Me" (McDermid) with a great dekade of intelligence, but his singing was without warmth of soul and unsympathetic. "Music speaks to the heart one when it comes from the heart." Mr. Lucas responded to an encore with two verses ("Walter E. Garsett" as the Robbie" Walter E. Garsett, as the Robbie" guished himself in his rendering of the "Cradle Song" and "Evenite Bells" (McFarland). --- T. Theo. Taylor used on this session "The Romance" (Grinfield) and "Rhap- node my Brahms. Mr. Taylor earned a happily responded to "Dee's River" S. Coleridge-Taylor. W. Henry Hackey layed the role of the "Gentle Chhlabos," sarc in accents sweet and tender, sangu in tones emotion, "Onnay, Awake, Be- bewed." Mrs. Blanche Doyne, Peyton sang two selections, "Roles, Idol of My Heard," (Meyerber) and "Daddy's Sweetheart" (Lehmman). Mrs. Peyton basks in natural voice, but lacks training in worship generally. She should be encouraged to make up serious study. There are three things that should not be allowed on programs that present to be artistic: Fick intralured soloists of any kind; seed, plantation songs; and music by Mrs. Stone's jubilee singers, who write "Hoor, Hoor, Hoor," "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," etc. They have their place in concert, but not on programs of the short. Third speechmaking of the kind we were compelled to listen to on this occasion. Dr. George C. Hall was the logical decision to speak, explaining the purpose of the concerts, and why it was necessary to access the chosen words. Let us be that this wrong.

CHILLY DOPE Just as the writer was making himself comfortable behind the old base-burner opposite the Old Roll Top Desk, all the joy was taken out of life by the following letter, which had icicles on the roof. It tells a tale of success, which should be joy to those who wish folks well. Here it is, mug good peoples: "Mason City, In., Dec. 8, 1917.

ONE MORE GONE News reached the Old Roll Top Desk the first thing Monday morning of the death of Charley Hart, one of the Race's most famous comedians. Hart had long career, which began about twenty years ago, when he joined the Williams & Walker Canes to Bert Williams. Later with Dan Avery he was starred in The Sons of Ham, while the W. & W. show was in West. At that time they were under the direction of the comedian Clemon, and at the end of their contract into vaudeville, playing with unvarying success over the big time circuits until the death of Avery some few years ago. Hart had spent most of the last ten years being starring with a great "Review" in London, Eng. at which place his death occurred on Nov. 30th, according to reports. He leaves a widow, residing at 28 West 98th street, New York. S. H. DUDLEY S. H. Dudley, the celebrated comedian, is in Chicago this week. He is the featured comedian with the Dave McCoy show of the longest burlesque companies on the big wheel. Dud, who also has many business interests, is on a long contract at a big salary and is considered one of the strongest addicts attraction workers. He works from start to finish and he makes the whoo world laugh. Go on, Dud. ON THE FILM George Paul, the enterprising manager of the popular States theater, made films of the great United States warehouse fire which occurred late last week. He also took pictures in front of the lobby, the patrons entering the lobby Sunday afternoon, and both of these views will be shown during the running of "Within the Law" on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the present week. CARITA DAY Carita Day Bronson, who has retired from the stage, has opened a hat shop and is doing fine. Miss Day, who has had a wide experience in this line, is well qualified, and her many friends in and out of the profession will be pleased to learn that her venture is proving a success right from the beginning. Her ad appears upon another page of the Defender. MOOREHOUSE COLLEGE Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 14.—Each week brings with it its own big events and life in general. The week beginning Sunday, Dec. 2, was especially noteworthy. The Y. M. C. A. was especially blessed in that out of his busy life Dr. J. W. E.
