Comes then the disclosure of an unstate of affairs in that home, with the wife justifiably jealous of her unfaithful husband, and finally a scene of violence involving the robbery of the safe in the darkened room and the burglary in the husband, by Robert Strickland, when the lights go up. A return to the courtroom ends the first act. The same plan is followed in the second act. Strickland's little daughter gives her testimony, and the scene again changes to the Strickland home and discloses the reasons that Strickland have for wishing to kill Trask, Mrs. Strickland, who disappeared, is ordered to have committed self-destruction, and the trial shows the second day of the trial. Mrs. Strickland is the star witness, she having left a hospital after a dangerous illness to give her testimony. She lays bure the secret of her life and tells a story of an occurrence which happened thirteen years ago, which is presented in another change of scene. Finally there is a realistic scene in the juryroom, followed by the grand surprise of the juryroom resulting in the acquittal of Strickland, the demonstrative satisfaction of the judge. It is replete with tense and cumulative interest. Abbie Mitchell as the wife of the defendant does wonderfully well in the part, and Lawrence Chenault, who is one of the strongest players in the armament Corporation's galaxy, was amused by the glamour than as the man on trial. Little Freddie Brown, cast as the daughter of the two, is splendid; this child is a real prodigy and handles lines like an old-timer. J. Francis Moore, in the film *The Lost Girl*, wife is good, and A. B. De Comuthierre, cast as the libertine, is proper east, for it is a type for which he is splendidly fitted. Laura Bowman as his widow handles the portrayal with fine accuracy, and the secrety, who knows more than he tells, but who finally clears up the entire case, gives a fine demonstration of acting. Other parts well handled are Barrington Carter as the hotel agent Susie Sutton and Brown as a news agent Alice Gorkin as clerk, Sidney Kirk; The inner side of every cloud Is bright and shining; I therefore turn my clouds about And always wear them inside out To show the lining. patrick, who essays the role of the prosecuting attorney, has a wonderful opportunity and takes fine advantage of it, and as the attorney for the defense Babe Townsend is right up to usual standard. James Willis and John H. Simms complete the cast, with the exceptions of the jury. GRAND "The Flat Below," the first of the Miller & Lyles Co. production, opened to a large audience on Monday night. The play is an interesting and forceful comedy-drama without melodrama, with a strong laid right here in Chicago it could almost be called a rural type. It deals with one side of the social problem that is of more than passing interest to local people, inasmuch as it covers the well-known fact that so common in city life. In this play the jury deals with the securing of an apartment, through the aid of a ward-healing saloon-keeper, by a woman, who opens a buffet flat. In the flat above her live a hard-working, respectable lady, who is the estate man who handles the leases allows his greed for an extra ten-spot each month to get the better part of his judgment, and the condition which inevitably follows furnishes the settings for the piece. There is a minister who has been critiqued for attending halls games and participating in local politics; so when he brings a young girl from out of town to live in the flat of the respectable lady above mentioned, and the expenses of this hung play are paying the things start moving fast, especially the young lady in question. She is given refuge in "the flat below," and in the third act the operation of the up-to-date buffet flat is shown in full operation. The play discloses the minister in the midst of his flock has demanded his resignation on account of the scandal which actions have caused. It is here where the big, surprising denomence is made. We will not give it to you because it is too much for the splendid play and enjoy the discount of the guilty parties and the happiness of the others for yourself. Leon Diggs gives a very capable interpretation of the part of the Rev. Cort; he has many splendid speeches to make and delivers them all in a way that for high approval. He looks "the part for the audience." Of the audience from start to finish, Myrtle Porter, in private life Mrs. Aubrey Lyles, has the part of the pretty Ruth Covington, the innocent cause of all the trouble and the legitimate ward of the man of the cloth. Her appearance and manner lends remarkable tone to her efforts. As Clio Young, the keeper of the buffet flat, Bessie Oliva Miller uses the mannerisms that are required for the character to great advantage. There are moments when she is called upon to show strength in all the advantage of them, William D. Rivier, the bellicose, ward-heeling salmon-keeper. He has all the carmarks of that gentry plus a gruffness that fits well. The character of the nosing deacon, who is playing both ends against the middle and who in the end is well done by Charles H. Brudge, Mrs. Knox, who with the deacon furnishes what bit of comedy there is to the THE CHICAGO DEFENDER "BLIND HUSBANDS" The bestial nature of a librine officer, formerly of the Austrian army is relentlessly exposed in "Blind Husbands," the Universal photodrama of the Tyrolean Alps, which comes soon to the States and Owl Theatres. The principal role is played by Eric Stroheim, former lieutenant of the Austrian army, and his Husbands" Eric Stroheim portrays the rogance and supreme conceit that made the Teuton unit for the communion of humans. As a lieutenant of the Austrian army the starring victim goes to a fashionable resort in the Alps to prey on womankind, wife of the margaret Dr. Armstrong, who is a loved but badly neglected wife. Dr. Armstrong makes a discovery, suspects something worse, and his soul is seared and tortured when the lieutenant is killed. The fate of a lovebuzzard in the form of a man, is the theme of the story. Stroheim is remembered, even hated, by thousands of persons, for his portrayal of a Hun officer in the big Universal war-picture, "The Heart of Humans." "Blind Husbands" is pronounced as a during photodramma, based on the days immediately following the war, which cannot but open the eyes of the typical American husband to the danger of indifference toward the woman he selected as his lifemate. It is declared to be amazing in its inoffensive handling of so vital a theme. play, is a type that we see every day, a strict church member who countenances no wrong, but who, withal, caries a cross and pleases, is done by clever Cassie I. Shire, Jones does well as the real estate agent and has a good scene with Atron Jacques Twiggs, who plays the part of Royster, the flame of the girl. The thins, Pretty Bessie Trollie makes a hairsome stenographer as well as doubling as a member of the Clio "crew," and in this she is ably assisted by Ethel Patton and Mumie Brown, pretty and charming. Pretty Man Covington is perfectly done by Solomon Bruce; he gives a remarkably able interpretation and his future work will be watched with more than passing interest. Pretty Below" teaches a fine moral lesson and should be seen by all. Next week, "Who's Stealth?" THE MONOGRAM The bill here this week is a fine one and the nets are all going over with a bang. The Ida-Hoes, formerly the Jordans, are here with a new singing, talking and dancing offering. The team is a good one and well liked. The Do. Trio with Kuny Do. May Olden and Mildred Pelletier can capable a three as has been seen here or anywhere else for a long time. Their work is done with plenty of pep and dash, and those two qualities never fail to spell success. White & Bradford, seen here a few weeks ago, are playing a return with new material, and single for the week is the capable singing, Blanche Russell. She holds her own well and completes a bill of exceptional strength. Spanish was the universal language at University City recently during the filming of "Lasca," the film drama from the famous poem by Frank Desprez. The incidents upon which the poem is based place the film by the Rio Grande" and the beautiful heroine was a Castillian living in a little Mexican village just across the historic river. Because so many real Mexicans were used in the photodrama, and because it took to the realism in the minds of the plot, the Mexican Dawn, the director, insisted that Spanish be spoken whenever possible. Because Spanish, in its Mexican form is used generally in Southern California, this was not difficult. Frank Mayo and Edith Roberts, the actors, became quite proficient in the Castillian language " como esta usted" Miss Roberts would ask Mr. Mayo in the morning; to which he would reply, "Muy bien, gracias," the dialogue meaning: "How do you find yourself?" and "Very well, thank you. Supporting Miss Roberts and Mayo in the production are to be seen Arthur Jasmine, Voca Harty and Lloyd Whitlock. "Lasca" is to be shown at the Owl Theatre on Sunday. Sam R. McDaniel, Original Cream Puff, is at the Spokane Hotel Grill, Spokane, Wash., with a real bunch of Lazy entertainers. He sends greetings to Lazy entertainers Chrence Parker and W. Benton Overstreet, who he says should write at once. 'A-DAMSEL IN DISTRESS' June Caprice and Creighton Hale return to the States Theater next Sunday as co-stars of "A Damsel in Distress," a comedy drama that is being hailed as the best picture of its kind of the season. "A Damsel in Distress" ran serially by Poham Grenville Wodehouse, whose typewriter turns out funny stories and plays that bring him in an income rivaling that of the President of the United States, "A Damsel in Distress" offers splendid material for the Screen. Albert Capellani, who produced "Oh, Boy!" which Mr. Wodehouse also wrote in collaboration with Guy Bolton and Jerome Kern, and in which June Caprice and Creighton Hale were co-starred, is the producer of "Damsel in Distress" George Archaibaud directed it under the personal supervision of Capellani. "BAR FEET" New Disease on Increase Since July 1 Says Old Roll Top Desk Man There is a brand new disease prevalent all over the country. It is called "Bar Feet" by the experts, and it first began to attract serious attention along about July 1. In Chicago alone there are thousands and thousands of cases and even the best physicians are unable to give relief to those most seriousthems, and the treatment at all are allowed but a very limited number of prescriptions. The demand for the only known remedy has been so great that 90 percent of the druggists have run out of their supply and it is a common sight to see the afflicted journey from one apothecary shop to another in their vain attempts to get their prescriptions filled, and when they are successful the medicine must be consulted by a judge from the mugging and other facial gymnastics done by the "Bar Feet" victims. Symptoms The symptoms of "Bar Feet" vary. In some of the lesser cases it is shown by a longing look with a sort of far away expression in both eyes, while in the cases of the more seriously afflicted there is intense nervosity. In some cases the wagon rolls by with its load of "so near but yet so far" beer. Loss of temper is manifest at the slightest provocation and this latter is so acute that the writer heard a Yiddish groceryman get a good hawling out for having his stock of sauer krut displayed in a whisky barrel. Many of his customers have their eyes when they pass what at one time was a saloon, while others wear ear muffs regardless of the weather conditions, so that they will not hear the mollycoddle when the latter extends an invite to a Coca Cola or sarsaparilla "debauch". It is a system of the disease standing on the street so that one foot can be elevated to the curbstone. This is said to be done from force of habit, as was the action of a certain other gent who almost blinded himself trying to blow the foam off a cup of hot coffee. Treatment There is one victim of "Bar Feet" who is undergoing a course of treatment at home, and the world will hold its breath—which is unnecessary, inasmuch as there is nothing on it—until the success or failure of the experiment is made known. In this particular case the victim's wife has fitted the bedding room with a complete set of bottles and cruets; these have been filled with water of various colors; green, like creme de menthe; red, like granadine syrup; yellow, like vermouth; white, like Tom gin; amber, like 4½ per cent, and light brownish, like "boiled" in blood, in front of the sideboard shiny and placed, nice, shiny brass rail for his bed not at end of the rail sits a big brass cupidor. Over the mirror hangs a picture of Sam Langford and one of Jack Johnson, and between the two hangs a halfstone of a burlesque queen gleaned from the pages of the Police Gazette. There is also a box of bum eligurs, a nice box and a couple of books in sight and a motto which reads "Past of day, true of now." One of the wonders of the new disease is the effect which it is having on the personal appearance of those it has reached. They dress better, look neater and talk quieter than they did in the past, and it is rumored that many of them have started saying they never before could rub two dimes, who, if they had had a dollar, they raggedly that they would have had to carry it in their mouths to keep from losing it. So, after all, maybe "Bar Feet" is a real blessing in disguise. KLEIN SOUTH Martin Klein, head of the Consolida- tion in Atlanta, Ga., on important busi- ness.

So thinking, she mounts the family donkey and sets out for the lowland country, where she stumbles, she has over seen—a railroad train, which she thinks is a threshing machine. This is one of the unusual situations in "Heart o' the Hills," adapted from the story of John Fox Jr., in which Mary Pickford will be seen at the Vendome.Theater for three days, commencing Thursday of next week. This is the most international attraction, produced in her own studies, of which her mother is business-manager. As, Mayis.Hawn, Mary.Hickford is in love with Jason Honeycutt, a mountain boy, who chafes under the cruel treatment of his father and who jealous of the attentions which Mayis pays to one of the city aristocrats who visits in the mountains. As time passes Mavis and Jason take separate trails in their searches for education. They finally wind up, however, back as their mountain home is Jason's father and Mavis mother learns the importance of life. Just as Steva'Honeycutt is about to murder the Window Hawn, the most exciting moment of the story arrives. "THE NATURAL LAW" "THE NATURAL LAW" The love of a boy and girl, swept into the current of an adult passion, is the story of "The Natural Law," which comes to the States Theater on Friday and Saturday of the present week. When a girl goes out into the world to make her fight for success alone sooner or later she must face gonso serious situations. If she is as charming a girl as Ruth Stanley, the patient heroine in this picture she can not grace her audience. She occurs when theurgings of love and adventurous youth take hold of her soul. Sucha crisis is faced by Ruth Stanley, successful girl artist, two women. One typifies youth, with all its virile attractions, and the other maturity, with its fine balance between head and heart. One is a famous thief, the international marathon for America, the other is a physician, a man of deep thought and high ideals. The man of brains, knows the world well, enough to tear, for the girl, when he sees her gripped by an infatuation for the handsome youth. He points out to the girl the danger of allowing the man to dominate her soul? Calm, but with her ownish funds of knowledge. But youth not reason. He, holds out, his arms and says, "I love you and we are young." So she answers the call of youth and encounters more misfortunes than even the doctor predicted. The soul of the girl is wring with the anguish of impending disgrace, and all because, important of the world of men, and its weakness, answers the fortune. And the boy, is tortured, too, but his suffering makes him a man, and before the final curtain youth wins happiness. SATURDAY JANUARY 8, 1980 "THE BRUTE" "The Brute," which the new company of Lafayette Players will present at the Avenuio Theater next week, is something that every one should see. It has a theme which shows to what extremes a man will go to subject the humanity surrounding him if he succeeds rapidly in power. This theme is of interest to all and teaches a real been subjected during the past few years; while the majority of us have been subjected by so-called patriotism, by dominators of every description. The story is, not a war problem in the full meaning of the word; it deals with a greater problem—that is, the problem of war in the household—a woman has made more unhappy lives than the wars of Christendom; for there is no master-mepac to hardiness than the brute in the house; it male or female. This play depicts this phase of human life in such a manner that it strikes, home, and he or she who may unconsciously drift toward a brutal or tyrannical nature will, after seeing this, glady retrace their actions and bring happiness where otherwise they would have brought sorrow. The company presenting the play comes from New York, where they close on Saturday night, with "The Brute," and it is needed to that the artists will render one of the most perfect performances of one of the best plays of the season. "WHO'S STEALIN'?" Miller & Lyles, the famous comedians, who are presenting in repertoire of original plays at the Grand Theater, will be seen next week in a screaming musical comedy called "Who's Stirling?" The story is an interesting one and tells all about how two comedians Miller & Lyles own a small town. They have the two pretties in town and they each strive to have them outdo the entire community in the matter of dress, etc. In fact, there is a rivalry between the two women as to who will be making the best front, and in order to cloth them in the partings "work" in the case of the unbeknownst to each other with the effect that they each, becoming suspicious, write to a private detective agency for them to send on a man to catch this partner with the goods on him. The letter falls into the hands of a crook, who goes to the Iowa, town where he gets on the job and in a short time discovers that both of the partners are stealing, so he begins to steal himself. Things come to such a desperate pass that one of them again communicates with the agency, and a real detective called "Big Seven" presents to cover the assignment. The deputy commissioner, big-seven, constructions of a toilet, goods concern, and the mush is as screaming funny as possibly could be imagined. In the end the wives "wake up" to the fact that they have unconscious causes their husbands to go crooked by their vanity, and they promise that big-seven will cover the course of the comedy many song numbers, etc. will be presented by the capable cast of thirty artists. Don't fail to see this, attraction. The Bal Williams Co. is playing the Dreamland theater at Tulsa, Okla. EXTRAORDINARY ENGAGEMENT OF MILLER & LYLES AND CO. IN A REPERTOIRE OF PRODUCTIONS SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1920. EXTRAORDINARY ENGAGEMENT WRITT A Screaming Musical Comedy and all that goes with it PRESENTING Three ONE SHOW A NIGHT, E TWO SHOWS SUNDAY PRICES: 30c, DEAR OLD LUNNON NORRIS SMITH, DEFENDER EUROPEAN THEATRICAL SCRIBE, SENDS REAL DOPE. Well, it has been a long time since the readers of this section have lamped feed fresh from the chow box—speaking in connection of the lads and hassles abroad — so as a Christmas present, we offer the following letter. Get it: London, Eng. My Dear Friend Tony: At last I have made up my mind to sit down and give you an hour or so of my time and at the same time I wish to assure you that London, Eng. My Dear Friend Tony: At last I mind to sit down and give you an hour or so of my time and at the same time I wish to assure you that I will be more than little time. Norris Smith have had more than little time for letter writing for the past three or four months, as I had with the Ofay partner of mine. After I finish with him I think I will quality as a lawyer. But I suppose that you have troubles of your own so I won't or rather bunch of mine. Anyhow, since late afternoon I will for a partner and we did well. I had an opportunity to join the Southern Syncopated Orchestra, so I took the act off the road, but am booking it for next season and getting a much better piece. I will be on Monday with the orchestra and on Thursday they sprung a surprise on me by letting me sing a song, and I really, sing it with such good effect that I was retained in the regular line-up, so I gratification is felt by members of the orchestra as well as myself. Will Cook Laaves By the time this letter reaches you you will have heard of Will Marion Cook's arrival in American; the orchestra is still the talk of London. Carroll will not be older said, tell Tom Lemonier not to worry about those letters of his. Ha, ha!, Atta by well, Tony, this is some show, and I will give you the real dope on it in next; anyway, I will say that if every person would run until way after midnight, Mattte and Buddie Gilmore arrived about two months ago and took the big village by storm. Buddie is a drummer and then some. He only played the bass and the people are going mad to have him play for private home dances. Takes a Walk I was walking through King's Way the other day and saw a huge red motor car; it was so red that it attracted my attention. o I investigated and found that it was being driven by David Wheeler, the captain of their red. Another joke, Ol OL. Now, won't he be mad when he reads this. I was with him when he bought the car in Glasgow; he paid £600 ($3,000) for it and could have sold it the next day for £80, so you can see that it must be a nice car. Scott, is still walking; he says that riding in motors is only for lazy people. I don't know the reason for his sudden economy; maybe he is trying to get Whaley's nanny. I saw Scott & Whaley's new show, "Me and My Dog" and even "The King of Spain" ever. They were in town last week at the Hammersmith Palace and next week they start a two weeks' engagement at the Kensington Theater. More of their showing there later. The Versailles have just finished two weeks at the Palace, for the King of Spain last week and were a great success. Mrs. Ed Whaley, better known as Belle Davis, opened with a real pickinny act at the Empire, Cardiff, Wales, last week, and I understand that the act is the best that I have done for it for her. Have just read of the Old Clet Club trial and am glad that the boys won the verdict over Deacon Johnson: the gang over here was delighted to hear of it. I was also glad to hear of Alex Rogers' success in the play, and I said that it won't take as long to write a letter as it does to write a play. I want to hear from him. Bill Grundy Calls Have just finished a matinee at the Prince of Wales Theater and Billy Grundy of Groundy & Young popped in to see the show. We also had Mr. and Mrs. Harry Scott and Mrs. Clarence Johnson in the front this afternoon, he may just be the fact that his May 19th, No. 24, the second day of this letter as it stands, and I am going to do my best to get this off to you tonight. Well, I had a long talk with Grundy about old Chicago and everybody and everything, not forgetting the Old Roll Top Desk that is sunny smile and dear old Stato street of Grundy & Young is still going fine and I have heard many fine reports about them. In fact, I went to see them during their second week at the Houston and they certainly did carry everything before them. I for one, I loved the gang at the theater that the "Old Lunnon" letter was in course of construction and they all said, "Don't forget to say something about me, Norris, when you write Tony." I really have so much to tell you that I don't know what to say first. George Archer had told me that he was at 57 Great Russell street, Bloomsbury, London, W. C. 2, and for you to remember him to all his friends in Chicago, I have just heard from my dear pal, William H. Dorsey; his address is Hotel Vondome, Yuna, Arls, and tell me that they were going to write him some good cheer. I wish to tell you that I received a great bunch of music from WHO'S STEALIN' New York, sent by Nat Sores, and all of it that I couldn't use I sent along. Plays for King If you notice any grease spots on this don't take offense, for I just had to use no old machine a good oiling, had Well, Tony, one bright day last August the Syncopaced Orchestra was commanded to play for his majesty, George of England, at Buckingham, hunting George of England, with some day, too, Carroll Morgan strutting his song, his song, "I've Got a Robe," and the king and all the royal family had a hearty laugh. Miss Lottie Goo sang "Mammy o' Mine" and it was very appreciated. In fact, all numbers Marlon Cook had a smile on his face that didn't come off for weeks. Mrs. Huston was up to philharmonic Hall to see last Monday night. She had just returned from gay Parise and was also in to see us. Glass & Belfast, back in England for three weeks after a fine engagement in Paris, Old John says that Paris is peaches; that is, Paris, France, not Paris, Texas. That the good London joke, so come through with the good London joke, also in Dublin and Belfast, Ireland, and he been kept very busy. I went to see Louis Douglas and his Offay partner last week at the Empire, Shoreditch; the set is known as Douglas & Walton, who halls from Philadelphia, he halls in England since 1903. He came here with a show called "In Old Kentucky," later being "In Dahomey" with Beile Davis. He left her and went for his covenant and Euwent into the Empire, where he went to the London Pavilion, the engagement being (for one month, but he stayed there four years. I do hope that some day you will have the opportunity of meeting him, for he is so more boy than girl himself a wife and married Will Murion Cook's daughter Marion, so you may be seeing him soon. Back on Job Wednesday Night—Just get back from the Philharmonic Hall and am at it again trying to get this letter (finished for Saturday's bont. Woll, pallie, all the boys over here send their best wishes to the New Chelf Club and they all say that they will be when they return. Now for some more time dope: Rastus & Banks have been in the provinces for several weeks and will be there for three or more weeks longer. The Four Black Diamonds serve in The Hague, Holland, and have Rotterdam and Utrecht to follow. Little Johnny Krauss is to tour about contracts not coming in fast enough and I try to add by putting the music to his lyrics, Ha, ha. George W. Mitchell is still looking over the old passports at the American consul's, 18 Swaindish Square, London, and would like to see the friends and relatives. Frank A. Denne, for tenor soloist with the 370th infantry Band, recently came over and is connected with the Syncopated Orchestra. He wishes to be remembered to the 5th bach and his friends in America, and would like to see George Dulf years ago when I was with man's Orchestra in Chicago. Just a few words for Mr. and Mrs. T. Edward Proctor, who wish to be remembered to all friends in Chicago and New York. Mr. Proctor was detalled here before he was stationed in States shipping board August and then pleased to say that he is now auditor, for which we should all feel proud. One Billy Farrell One Silly Farrell is still in this little village; his address is 4 Hart street, Bloomsbury, London, W. C. 2. He says tell Old Man Henderson Smith to write that he also tell Mons. Smith that he say write that our program of our engagement at Philharmonic Hall and everybody on it more than made good. I am also sending you a bill of the Second Victory that was and is anybody was there. You will notice that the music for this ball of balls was furnished by the Syncopated Orchestra and they made them not dance when the white band which was present played. It was the Royal Artillery Band and it is supposed to be the best band over here. One of the bands had Buddie Gimore come to her house long conversation and sono good champagne; Buddie was the hit of the ball. Frank Withers Talks I had a long talk with Frank Witers and his wife Maze, and Frank said that he will take the good old solid ground for his—no more airplanes for him. They wish to be remembered to us as though they will be here for some time, as they are playing the most dance club in London—the Portman Rooms—and Frank has charge of the band of twelve pieces. Some band, too, will give me my best wishes to regale us with the music. Club in New York and all my friends all over America. I think it is about time for me to be closing this and, believe me, I bet it will take you half a day getting it ready for the Old Band. I will give me good toy and good heck for the present and good heck for paper regularly and remember me to Mr. Abbott and all the Defender staff. Write again soon. This is absolutely the finish for this time; so Jia-Ta and let me hear from you soon. As ever, we will be at the BROAD street, BROADSbury, London, W. C. 2, England. BILLY DORSEY Billy Dorsey, the famous writer and arranger, who returned from Europe some months ago on account of illness, is fast improving at Yuma, Ariz. He sent the Old Roll Top Desk Man a fine photograph of himself, and, according to the appearance of it, Bill would like to be among his friends on the Stuart Island of dilly Circus. He would like to have lanyards from his friends, and mail will reach him if addressed in care of the Vendone Hotel, Yuma, Ariz. Another fine year is coming to a finish. We call it fine, despite the fact that there has been a couple of bar spots caused by last winter's flu epidemic and the more recent slowing up account of the coal strike. While the account of the coal strike, particularly "murvelous" to have about, the fact that salaries have been better and that work has been steadier cannot be be a good cause for happiness. VAUDEVILLE The vaudeville acts have fared splendidly; the "worthy" ones have had it upon them heavy in the way of consecutive time, while all the "unworthy" ones have gotten their broad hooks upon all they wanted. What is the effect on the classes? Well, the former is the "worthy" ones are those who go after it, get it, take it and go to it, to their own welfare and the satisfaction of those who pay the freight as well as those who sign them up, while the other, the "unworthy" ones are those who wait when they wake up in time, take what is left upon their late arrival, "can" all of it that might cause them to lose a few minutes rest or miss a meal at home and work what is tasteful to them with indifferent effort and results in a short journey. The latter class, however, are NOT in the majority, thanks. Reports coming in, constantly during the closing year from the following acts would indicate that there is a world of "setting pretty being done" on earth, which is not the same as it is known, which is exactly as it should be, for where on earth is there a "separate race" that provides as great an amount and variety of talent? The condition again exemplifies the Old Roll Top Desk Man's off repeated statements and that any time you see one of our "offerings" on an Ofay bill it is surely qualifying or it wouldn't be there — it must be 100 per cent pure and nine times out of ten is the strongest thing the line-up is regardless of what "spread" the prejudice on prejudiced stage or house manager places it in. The acts: Moss & Frye, Glenn & Jonkins, Rucker & Winfred, Jones & Johnson, Fiddler & Stevens, Tabor & Green, Brooks & George, Green & Pugh, Davis & Walker, Miller & Lyles, Go Got 'Em Rogers, Clarence Dotson, Johnny Kirkman, Old Darkins Quartet, Exposition Four, Smith & Troy, Cook & Smith, Harper & Blanks, Panama Trio, Abyssinian Three, Howard & Craddock, Brown & Crumbley, Johnny Wood, Anderson & Goines, Hartington & Mills, Stafford & Watts, Dave Lillian, McCormick, Jeffrey, Jette, Minus & Bryant, Floyd & Lemonier, Gant & Perkins, Whitman Sisters, Bolanges Bill Robinson, Cooper & Coleman, Stevens & Purcell, Brown & Demont, The Kemps, Dancing Demons, Four Dancing Johnson, Green, Bailey, Dustin & Delaney, Ruth, Russell & Ross, As, Tribble & Thomas, Simms & Powers, Williams & Taylor, Adams & Maxey, Jones & Jones, Allen & Jones, Minstrel Morris, Marshall & Covert, The Bruces and several others that we are not able to call to mind. ROAD ATTRACTIONS There are several road attractions and all apparently doing well. No previous season has marked the great success that is being enjoyed by Salem Smurter So Co. ("Children of the Sun" deserve it all, too, for it is a real show and is proving a revelation to those who had an idea that we were dead ones when it came to matters of race. It is not alone in its glory, for witness the immense success of the Billy King company, whose repertoire of three plays, "Over the Top," "Their Off" and "Exploits in Africa," made the entire country cries out for Roosters坐 its seat. While White Rose has been the writer's good fortune to witness a performance of Frank Montgomery and Florence McCallin's "Pollies," the reports which have arrived now indicate in India that they take to India, they have. In New Greater Minstrels is another aggregation that has been getting a fine grip on the kale, and the success of Old Kentucky can be accounted for when you remember the work of Mansz Campbell and the balance of the "support." OTHER ACTS There are other acts that it would be an injustice to overlook. They are all working all the time, and while some are with road attractions others are strutting their stuff through the town for the booking (the booking "independent". But they are all at it all the time, and here they are: Smith & Butler, Tiny Tim Owlsley, Lena Wilson, Edwards & Edwards, John Wilson, Edwards, John, Jerome & Delmas, White & Beaford, Taylor & Martin, White & Langford, Clark & Kinky, Bart Kennet, Wells & Wells, The Woodens, Philip Giles, Good & Jones Buzzi* Burton & Co, Charles Anderson, Davis & Early, James Anderson, Davis & Early, Nugent, Porter & Porter, Two Sweets, Chicken Reel Boomer, Harris & Ames Variety Ten. Turner & Davenport and many others. BIG BUNCHES Among the larger sets there is soldom any open time. They are always busier than the proverbial cat on a leash. There is also more comedy, chase, skate, and ability to a "Smoke" tabloid than is generally found in a half dozen Oatley food shows. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER WITH BURLESQUE ETC. WITH BURLEQUE, ETC. Several of the strongest burlesque shows in the country prestigiously through the services of our "folks," and chief among them should be mentioned popular Lulu Coates & Crackerjacks, doing their third season with the Hurtig & Seamon people and stopping all shows as spotted by the audience. The act is a sensation today, as it has been for years, and Miss Coates, who has accepted European contracts, turned down an offer from her present employers that would have looked like a movie star years ago. Then there is Johnny "Gravy" Irins, who is doing his third term with Monte Carlo Girls, working throughout the show with the principals and doing a number with great results, surrounded by the entire chorus, Boutte & Carter, also on the third line around as special workers with the Round the Town Co. and Pleasant Billy Cumby, billboarded, programmed and press-noticed until you would see a circus had his town, and all because he was a great performer could send to send along as chief laughter getter with the Beauty Revue," Walker Thompson, late of the Lafayette Players, had his great quartet with the "See-Saw Co." a great, big production that made good, and the same token making good, speaking part and doing a number, is making the same impression at the same time, same place, same show. The Musical Spillers, featured with the seek-A-Boo, "get more out of it" than on the book, being connected, which all goes to show we are sitting tight for true in this line of endeavor. LEGITIMATE The Lafayette Players are still in the lead. In the fast few months they have added a musical comedy, under direction of Alex Rodgers, and after a successful run in Chicago it "cleaned up" in Pittsburgh, Pa., and is today jamming the Lafayette theater in New Orleans to show. The dramatic end of the Players' season, with new dances, and few withdrawals, which fact is as encouraging as it is gratifying. The same "stars" (twinkle in the ranks that were there last year and have, if anything, added greatly to their career) are the additional experience and training, as well as the large rocket among the males, as Abbie Mitchel in the female section, though such sterling actors as Laura Bowman, Cleo Desmond, Inez Chough, Alice Gorgas, Carolina Freeman, Evelyn Chas, Chas, Olden, Arthur Ray, Chas, Mabo, Abby, Jacqueline Coughault, B. De Comathe, Cook H. L. Pryor, Lilipop Monagas, Sid Kirkpatrick and Bussie Sutton and others must not be overlooked. Luke Scott, who has a small company now playing in the South, is breaking in territory that some day will be a fruitful and larger corporations, and cleaning up a new arena while he is doing it. Anita Bush is also there with a clever group and from all indications will be much heard from during the season. EUROPE A comprehensive idea can be gleaned regarding conditions in Europe by reading the wonderful "Lannon Letter" in this issue, sent by our European dramatic representative, Norris Smith, in 1991. This one, follow him, as he is there with regularity—just like a duck. DEATHS And now we come, to the spot where we have to line up those who have passed into the great beyond since the time of the first one, this one. Follow him, as he is there with regularity—up for your personal. The list will be found names that have meant much to us in the past and we know that you will join the Old Roll Top Desk Man in a silent little prayer that you so rest in peace.

LULU COATES & CO. Montreal, Quebec, Jan. 2.—"New Social Maids," Hurtig & Seamon's biggest success, is the offering of the week at the Gayetty Theater, and it is drawing capacity houses at every performance. The special attraction is the known *Coates* and *Coates & Crackerjacks*, and it is providing as popular as it has been in the past three seasons. Miss Coates has added several new features to her routine, and the turn, which has always been noted for its marvelous touch, is a real sensation. The entire cast is well-represented. The costing and scenic effects are wonderful. Next week, Lyceum Theater, Albany, N. Y. Lulu Coates & Crackerjacks, featured with the Hurtig & Seamon Social Maids Co., are at the Gayetty Theater, Montreal, Quebec. FOR COLORED PEOPLE PROPER SPIRIT The fo owing paragraphs appeared in another publication a few days ago, and the Old Roll Top Desk Man uses it because it sure seems too worthy of the space which it will occupy. Gather this: One of the members of an audience to which the famous black face comes, Melntyre and Heath, were playful in their usual use of the epithet "Nigger" and wrote to them asking that they be more considerate of the feelings of the Negro portion of their audience. The following is the reply: or MENTHOR & HEALTH. Such a reply is gratifying and as these actors are, so are many others. They are used by actors and others indiscriminately and often we out malicious intent but we, individually should make ourselves responsible for the courteous correction of those who use it about us whether they are our own black friends or others who are thoughtless. MRS. E. B. DUDLEY Mrs. E. B. Dudley, wife of the famous owner and manager of the Vanderette Theater, Detroit, Mich., was in Chicago last week and called at the Old Roll Top Desk. Mrs. Dudley was on a business trip preparing a series of several feature pictures among them being the new Michelau special feature, "Within Our Gates." The handsome lady was looking like a million dollars and brought a world of cheer to the O. R. T. D. Man in the shape of a Christmas offering of wide dimensions from her husband. Green & Bailey, getting a world of fine press notices, are splitting the week between Lynn and Fitchburg, Mass. A.

THE AWAKENING OF THE NEGRO The condition of the Negro business men in Chicago today should be a warning to every Race-loving Negro in the United States TO GET TOGETHER. Because during the past fifty years those who have lived in Chicago have made MILLIONAIRES among every nationality known to civilization that offered them the least bit of encouragement for their patronage and they have also made a PAUPER of every Negro who dared to enter into competition with these people for our trade. The results of our loyalty to the other fellow find us today without any State Banks, Legal Reserve Life Insurance Companies, Fire Insurance Companies, Wholesale Houses of any kind whatever, Department Stores, Laundries, First Class Hotels and various other business establishments necessary for the unbuilding of a Bace. WORLD'S WAR DISCOVERS NEGROES' BEST FRIEND The one fault which has retarded our progress more than all of the others combined has been caused by our permitting the other fellow to plant the seed of DISTRUST among us and so well did he plant the seed that not until the recent war did the Negro realize that his best friend was his own people. No matter what our past grievances have been or what our future understanding may be, when the smoke of Distrust has cleared away and the harsh words spoken have ceased to cause pain, every Negro must be found cemented together "ONE FOR ALL, AND ALL FOR ONE." LIBERTY LIFE TO OUR RESCUE The LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of ILLINOIS is going to be to the Negroes what the other Life Insurance Companies are to the white race, a medium through which they can obtain cheap money on approved securities. Without an available supply of cheap interest money there is but little hope for our financial development as a Race of people. The success of Standard Life of Atlanta, Ga., and the North Carolina Mutual of Durham, N. C., is sufficient proof that our men are capable of managing large financial institutions. Life Insurance Companies of the United States control more money than all of the National Banks, State Banks and Private Banks combined. AN APPEAL TO EVERY RACE LOVING NEGRO More than Fifteen Million loyal Race loving Negroes are interested in the Liberty Life Insurance Company, and the few thousand shares of stock we haveleft cannot last very long, because every day subscriptions are being received from all parts of the country. Every Negro should consider it his indispensable duty to invest at least $30.00 in fostering a noble undertaking.

The most unfortunate man during the tourney, with the possible exception of Crawford, who lost all his games, was Kid Kurby, who played well. His game Thursday afternoon with Minor Haney, when he was defeated, 200 to 198, was the most spectacular exhibition during the three days' play. On Friday evening Kurby won his first win, and gave a splendid exhibition of the masso shot. "Globe Trotter" Springs Surprise J. H. Porter, the head coach better known as the "Globe Potter," won his first three games in mastery style.

The game was full of speedy ball, the passing, shooting, cueing and team work of both teams bating of first class order. The "T" game in close-in work near the basket which was responsible for a large number of baskets. Kosmos team represents a local Masonic lodge and numbers of eta men in the city, "Germany" Schaefer was a team in himself, being responsible for six baskets and two free throws. His teammates failed to make the support necessary to make his style of play Felix and Stoebert were also in the limelight for Kosmos. For Wabash Captain Blutt led his team with six baskets and four free throws. Bob Baskett the tall man also played and played his usually strong floor game. Duff at center, who made his first appearance of the year, exhibited his old time form and in a few perior jumping was responsible for many of the Wabash rushes. Thomas and Hubbard at guard played steady games, the former using his long reach Kosmos boys to penetrate. Early in the second half Ralph Revalls replaced Duff at center and showed he has not forgotten how to handle the ball. Revalls will bear watching this season as he is a playful player and handles the ball clearly.

D TITLE f BASEBALL Defender by Andrew ("Rubs") Foster, American Giants Baseball Team PITFALLS of BASEBALL Written Exclusively for the Chicago Defender by Andrew ("Rube") Foster, Manager of the Famous Giants Baseball Team In again taking up this subject I am going to touch on the disadvantage clubs have had to encounter to keep the game in front of them. All clubs have had good intentions, mean it all, many, times hoping against that some foreseeled miracle would happen to enlighten them on their way to a successful season. It is not appeared, when it does come up that you will find that the club will be interested in the clubs. When you scan the list of the past and present owners of the Colts, you will find among them, men who are not duo success, with a few exceptions. Andrew Foster uniforms and advance money. It is nature, and the expense of only salaries in a position to do much damage to the club and burdened with heavy overhead expense. Admitting that the clubs are important to the success of both parties, one would have to compete with the heavy expense to compete with the clubs with apparently no expense, yet they must do more, and have. Ball Parks Necessary It is very necessary that we have parks to play in. Without there there would not be no incentive for one to choose baseball as the profession. Yet these parks must not be burdened to heavy as when they go baseball North will pass along, as the building regulations are real and real estate so high that the expected colored owners to promote such expensive plant just to be giving employment to a profession when it must be at a loss, for cannot get the men to come together for some plans for the betterment of the team. We cannot get along without organization. Neither will we have sufficient parks to play in to warrant paying greater salaries than we are at present. We must organize. There are thousands of doings every day an organization. The money will naturally come from the whites. The game be supported; better than the American game. The money will $5,000 per month. Then will come the cry that it's a shame, that all this money goes into the hands of the players. Yet we will be the ones at fault. The game will entail salaries and make money, as they will systematize it, build sufficient parks and give employment to many hundred Colored players. There is no problem. But that we have reached! Rentals of all parks have gone up. At any minute the leases of present parks can be terminated. Many Colored men with money have legged into the game, but they want it patterned after the way leagues are conducted. Last Attempt to Get Owners Together The time I will ever try and interact. Colored in to get together on some working basis, I have so often been refused the neces- sary capital, not dearing to give to the team.

Address In again taking up this subject I am going to touch on the disadvantage clubs have had to encounter to keep the game in front of the people. Some have had good intentions, meant it helps, hoping against hope that some unforeseen miracle would happen to enlighten you in a way; that unforeseen h a n d has not appeared. When it does come you will find that the game will be interested in the clubs. PETER BROWN When you scan Andrew Foster the list of the past and present owners of the clubs, you will find among them, management, any success, with a few exceptions. To be successful in anything, one must pattern after systems and methods of who man have made success in the same club, and who man have not put into the heads of those that want to promote the game. A practice among the various club owners has been to take men from different clubs, many times after they drove them to the clubs where they are leaving. It has gotten so bad managers do not trust players, nor do the players trust the managers. It's folly for one to teach a player to jump to pay the manager he leaves and expect him to return with him. When some one persuades the same man to leave him, disgusted, he will wire you. "If you play such a club, I will not play you." This stopped the habit of taking each other's until they have so complicated things they do not play each other. Organized Baseball Great Pattern In organized baseball each club secures men from different clubs. It must be an agreement between the club owners that a player is the property of the club who retains his services and that there is no ball club in the country that chooses its players. Even the big leagues do not tamper with different clubs' players. With all the money invested in their clubs, they have deemed it necessary to form some agreement to work by their club owners. Our club owners laugh at such protection and have year after year done just the opposite. Players Do Not Want Organization layers DO NOT want Organization I. I will have several players and they asked me to organize organization would hurt their chances as to salaries. When the club owners get together they will pay what they please: we do not want organizations. I said if you ever expect to really make more money, you should done through organization. There are several players playing ball that get more to play one season than the salary list of any three Colored clubs at the present time. They play under organization. We realize that if protection was given men there would be money put into baseball, parks would be built, that it would offer inducences to players to try and develop, knowing there was future attached to their profession. Assets of Our Clubs The time has passed when you can camouflage the public. The public has been wised up to many things. Now it up to the men who want to conquer the city. They have besides bunk. There are not four colored clubs North that could not go out of the business today and lose nothing but the uniforms they had last season; yet they will parade around and tell the world that they are clubs like the A.

I’ve tried all kinds of tonics, but nothing can do any good. It falls continually. Answer: The hair is an important anatomical element of the skin to understand. The relations of the hair are followed by the follicle to be best understood by imagining the lower or fibrous portion of the skin to be soft and plastic and the upper epidermis layers to be pushed down into penetrating hair; the sheaths of the hair are thus seen to be cellular and to a certain extent correspond with the epidermis. We need not dwell here on the epidermis of the different hair sheaths. The point to be remembered is that they are cellular, like the epidermis, reaching up into and forming the lining of the corium; at the bottom of the cell lined hair follicle, the fibrous elements of the corium rise and form what is embedded on the hair papilla, which is embounded by the lower portion of the hair. The hair itself is composed, like the epidermis, of cells, and is a product of the root sheath proper, at the lowest portion of the hair. The healthy hair is pulled out, or falls naturally, a new one begins to form around the papilla, and the hair may be reproduced indefinitely. Knowing the reproduced indefinitely, knowing the readily be soon why so many of the hair tonics cannot produce the wonderful effects claimed for them. If it is claimed, self-addressed envelope will soon be sent with information. Address all mail to Lella Hubbard, care Chicago Defender. CLERKS TO BE CHANGED. Washington, D.

What to rem忘 to tempt the audience appetite and why cid he satisfy the most whimsical. The Brahms symphony was the most course and, weighty as it is, only seasoned habitues could digest it, but not all of them were with tempting v兰ds that what he presents is tasty and digestible; of course with the exception of his latest impressionistic composing, His "Tuh Warzen," a collection of seven movements of Boltshovists, Reds and Villas, embracing many possible exceptions one at a time. No, the "Climax," in which he exhibited the only sane movement in the number of wonderfully grand and Wagnerian styles, worthy of the time he gave it. The other movements, with repeat- ing passages of bells, marimbas, muted songs, and melodies, mute the piano strings, were far too exotic for the civilized appetite; in fact, same musicians are tempted to class him a bubble blowers who find their ultra modern compositions bursting in thin air. A large number of the musical set was conducted to hear his inter- pretation of the melody and red bass and were fully compensated by going.

It does not look very reasonable, does it?

What the New Year Should Bring The New Year brings with it, increasing responsibilities by reason of the increasing burdens placed upon us, and the need to solve certain economic questions affecting their own condition. It is hoped that this year will bring about a change in the way we shop, which will be a larger percentage of our people running grocery stores and butcher shops in order that they may be benefited economically by the vast increase in the number of other classes of people who afterwards moved to Hyde Park and Kenwood districts and then form organizations to help them. This year that this year will bring with it a new awakening along all lines of industrial activities as well as a new racial solidarity having as its aim and object among our group one for all and others. Cease to Enrich Others **Case to Enrich Others** We have to enrich others to past several years the attitude of a certain type of business men in the district between 36th and 38th streets and their disposition clearly shows that their experience is quite equal to that by traveling a path of least resistance. They not only sell inferior goods in most instances, but specialize in giving shoes of weight as well and in giving the weight of publications operated by our people. It is up to us to withdraw our support from these insolent and in many instances insulting shoes keepers and live in our people. We cannot hope to succeed in commercial activities unless we combine our forces against those people whose activities threaten our economic future. **Elmer Cheeks in City** Elmer Cheeks of Detroit, Mich., a member of the Alpha Phil Alpha, was a city this week visiting old friends.

THE POLITICAL POT By A. N. FIELDS ALL ROADS WILL LEAD to Chicago on Jan. 5, to what will be termed the most important political pow-wow since the landing of the nation in 1865, a continent. In fact the year 1920 is destined to bring with it more historical events than has ever before faced the nation. It will be a time when nations slowly rising from a baptism of blood and fire, asking for a new "Magna Charta," which will differ in its scope from the one handed down from the barons and commons of England, and signed June 15, 1215, at a place called Runnymede. The new "Magna Charta" must carry with it the religious liberty and must embody elements which will create in this country more deep seated American outlaws of which will come a satisfactory redemption of our economic, social and political life. THE EARLY MORNING OF THE twentieth century found us with most of our cherished hopes and ideals blazing in the air. We are now in the world over are puzzled with great economic questions and groping in the wilderness of new thought and asking why we are so large enough in vision to triumph over irrational impulses and barbarous propensities, and lead their country to a new era of reasoning strife, into a path, of general peace and concord. Hence America, in common with other countries, is seeking a new star whose brilliant work will to un advantage in the coming crisis. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE appear to find in National Chairman Will H. Hale the task of plotting the political shift on the nation into a safe port. Upon his shoulders falls the important task of aiding in the selection of a president to be a new spirit of Americanism. This Americanism must carry with it no shatter influences of bygone days, but must breathe the wholesome qualities of Americanism for all Americans without regard to race or color. Who will this man be? President Mays Goes South President R. L. Mays of the Railway Men's International Association left campus for an extended trip South, through Boston, for the philis, Tenn., and Savannah, Ga.

IN MEMORIAM In sad and loving memory of my beloved friend, "Louie," who passed away three years ago today, Jan. 1, 1971. When we laid your endearled form and made you laugh, we were the quiet city of the dead, it cast a shadow of gloom over us, But shadows are not always what they seem. Because God's love sometimes appears as the white rose of death. Devoted friend, Joseph H. Preston. In loving memory of our dear daughter and sister, Myrtle Russell Chavis, who passed away one year ago today, Jan. 2, 1918. "More and more each day we miss you, Friends may be missed but little know the sorrow that lies with our hearts concealed. Peaceful be thy rest, dear daughter and sister, it is sweet to breathe thy name; in life we do ye dearly, in death we do same. Please do parent Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Russell and sisters, Mrs. Flo Payne, Mrs. Laura Black. In sad and loving memory of our dear mother, Mrs. Mayme Baker, who died. 30, 1917. "Gone," but not out of sight. "I have a voice in vain. The golden gates were open, a gentle voice said 'Come,' and with a farewell unspoken she calmly entered home."—Loving daughters, Mrs. Junjuan Person and Mrs. Phyllis HEATING PROBLEMS By Eugene J. Marshall At the present time a large number of suits are being instituted against landlords because of insufficient heat. In the great majority of instances the tenants have failed to obtain relief from the courts. Sometimes, however, the tenants have failed to get judgment against their landlords because of the carelessness and neglect of the tenants themselves, and none of the tenants came to my attention a few days ago. When the case came up in court it looked as if the tenant would have no trouble at all in getting a judgment against the landlord, but when the tenant showed that there had not been a sufficient amount of heat and the landlord did not make much of an effort to rebut the testimony, but when the tenant failed to keep the covenants of his lease with reference to furnishing heat he was very much surprised when the landlord required him to furnish the lease not require him to furnish heat. The lease was offered in evidence and an examination of it showed that the landlord had inspected a provision in the lease that he did not notice the furnishing heat and the tenant had been so negligent and careless in signing the lease that he did not notice the majority of laudlands try the great majority of landlords try good services, but at the same time we know that there are some who do not hesitate to take advantage of the tenant, and I think that the best way for all tenants to protect themselves against dishonest landlords is by each and every tenant, being extremely careful and I think that one of his leases before he signs them.

With this kind of a record, we should know how to guard against liabilities incurred. It is a fact which cannot be disputed, that we are all people throughout our country, and that we are not, however, receiving the results of our efforts, nor knowing how we are because there are comparatively no financial corporations operated by us, which, of course, we are not, however, being considered in the commercial activities of our country.
