Points to Haiti
Senator Blaine began his speech in the senate last Wednesday. He pledged the floor late that afternoon, remarking that Friday, "With respect to Haiti and San Domingo, he said: 'Imperialism: Turn to Haiti, where officers of the army and navy, backed by an American army, govern or ally an American financial adviser dictates the finances and permits loans with United States government guarantees and where the Haitian government was set up by force of American government written by the personnel of the war-making power of America, and the adoption of that constitution ratified at an election which, if held in Haiti, would be declared null and void. 'There was no free ballot. The polling places were in charge of American murines. That which is guaranteed to every community in Haiti would be free elections was denied to the Haitians. The constitution imposed upon the Haitian people denied their guarantees compatible with a free government, free people, and provisions made satisfactory to American exploiters.
Tyranny by Arms
"The presence of armed forces carried its tyranny to such excesses as to deny to an amenable and distillable surrenderator King) the right of freedom of passage through that territory—his way barricaded and before him the battle of the saber and the menacing manure of gun. Sons are the consequences how they fall. Go to San Domingo, if you please, where an army was landed, the president of the republic dismissed, and for its congress dissolved, and where for its government administered its affairs by military decrees, enforced by a military government supported by some 2,500 marines. Of course, San Domingo may be given back her manure, her independence what circumstances? Providing she swiftly the military misrule and allow America to collect her customs and control the finances of her country, the senator from Connecticut (Mr. Bingham) yesterday if I approved of the act of the present administration in withdrawing from San Domingo. I do approve of the withdrawal of the senator from Connecticut out of San Domingo by any means. "The United States marines were withdrawn. But, sis, America is still in San Domingo with a power as large as that of force, and that is a strangle hold upon the finances San Domingo."

Not Able to
Halt Union
Rockville, Conn., Feb. 10.—Defying terrorizing threats, Clarence Kellem, a former sailor in the United States navy, and Beatrice Fuller, 19 (white), descendant of Mayflower ancestors, were married here Tuesday by Carl A. Goehring, justice of peace.
In complying with the civil laws of the state, it was necessary for the pair, to wait five days after making application for the license. My life was commended that the youth intended to marry the white girl, distasteable comment began to circulate. Several nights ago Kellem said that he received a telephone warning from him intended marriage.
Mother Gives Consent
On a high hill near Kellen's home a huge cross was burned Sunday night. It was later learned that the couple had left town prior to this time. Over twenty-five letters were received from the mother warning her against the union of the pair.
The couple read these over amid laughter and regretted that they could not answer them in this time. Miss Puller said, "is our only reply."
In reply to numerous inquiries as to her daughter's marriage, Mrs Helen Taylor, whose ancestors came from the area she had always found Kellen to be a perfect gentleman and exceedingly pleasant and that she would offer no objections to the union, Mrs splendid, and I know not, not making me ask, I love him," explained Miss Puller to newspaper reporters.
Because of the情况 prevailing as to the marriage of the pair, ministers became divided there with the greatest reluctance, there were others that flatly refused to perform the ceremonies.
The Rev. George Brookes, pastor of Union Congregational church, said that he would perform the ceremony.
Refuses to Unite Pair
"I told him I must have time to decide. It is a very delicate question, this one of giving religious apposition to marriage of a young Colonel Colonel man," the white clergyman asserted.
This opinion of local ministers delayed the marriage of the pair only 24 hours before the marriage held by the divinity, the couple appeared before the justice of peace and were united. At his work in the Springfield Mills, Kellem refused to make a statement. His wife said that already too much unnecessary comment had been given to their presence. Before the marriage, the young woman stated that she had met Kellem four months ago. She found him superior and so different from his sister, who was usually called on her. When she learned that Kellem was reciprocating her love, she explained that she decided to marry him in spite of all opposition. Kellem is the son of an old established family here. His mother was white and died two years ago. Since that time his father has married another woman. It was noted that gifts and other expressions of congratulation was received from Miss Fuller's girl chums and schoolmates. A reception at the home of the bride where both races will mingle freely.

Don't Take Advantage of Opportunities

Mullowney, president of Meharry Medical college, asserted that the young physicians were not taking to prepare themselves with greater efficiency in medical skill.

Fortune thing is that young men and women are not willing to take the punishment necessary for science," said Dr. Mullowney, a giant in the medical world." Dr. Mullowney asserted. "White graduates of medical dental schools are willing to teach and give years of sacrifice in study and research to train themselves as authorities in certain branches of their profession."
Future of School Good
He stressed the efficient training that students receive at Meharry. The future of the school is as bright as the past, has been a year since his aide at multimedia school, and all the medical graduates of any race who took the state board examination in Texas this year, Dr. Stanton, who is a former Meharry, is among the other graduate led in dentistry, Dr. Mullowey declared. The records that these young men are owed to Meharry, an imminent before the school is bearing fruit, the speaker pointed out. Not one in 120 graduates this year has failed, it was at this point that Dr. Mullowey touched upon the neglect of the young physician to take advantage of the medical preparation himself. Meharry needs well trained young teachers to take the place of the old veterans who have given the best years of their lives, and the speaker reminded his audience.
Tella Alumni to Give
In concluding his address, Dr. Mulowney appealed to the assembled alumni not to be stingy in giving out the book in the field making good care should not give a mere pittance for the maintenance of the institution that made you what you are today*.

Sam Gold, 19-year-old white youth, convicted twice by a jury for criminally assaulting Anna May Watts, a West side schoolgirl, was sentenced last week to two years in the penitentiary by Judge Otto Kerner in the criminal court.
Gold's first trial for the crime was before Judge Harry B. Miller. The jury returned a guilty verdict with the minimum penalty of one year in prison. The verdict aroused the lice of Judge Miller and Prosecuting Attorney John Kerner, who decided that Gold should have been given the maximum penalty of life.
A new trial was granted. Gold was convicted of assaulting a judge before Judge Kerner. A sentence of 10 years was recommended by the jury. Defense counsel last week appealed to the supreme court in view of the verdict. Judge Kerner reduced it to two years, explaining that if Gold appealed to the supreme court in view of the verdict, he could be reversed. As it is, Gold will serve the full two years, the court said.
Detroit Catholic Church
Destroved by Flames
Detroit, Mich., Feb. 10—The St. Benedict the Moor Catholic church, located at Beaulen and Elliott St., was destroyed by fire last Thursday. The church was holding mass for 50 worshipers when smoke coming from the basement was noticed by one of the acrylics, who called the priest's attention to go orderly from the church. Hardly had he finished speaking when flames burst through the floors, and the people hastily felt their way through the burning church to safety, outside, snatching whatever came within their reach. Rev. Duckett was the last person to leave the edifice, having rescued the blessed archment. The mass was completed by the coo. RIVER COCK Aves. The damage done by the flames, which started from an overheated furnace, amounted to $7,000, partly covered by insurance. The wood will be held in the rectory, 5523 Beechwood Ave. at the usual hour.

Another slaying as a result of a dispute over money occurred Sunday afternoon when John Hart, 40 years old, 316 B. St. St., was shot. He was shot by a Western hotel, 303 Michigan Ave. by John Smith, one of the guests.
Smith was arrested by Officers Sutton and Graham of the 27th St. Hart and Graham of the 28th St. Hart in self-defense after the latter had attempted to attack him with a knife. Hart and another man named Warren, who were quarreling in Smith's apartment, tried to put them out. Hart then drew a knife, advanced on Smith and he fired. A coroner's jury under Warren ordered the time for communicating between Chicago and these from six to two minutes.

Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi and the state, said he would be out permitting the reading of these demands, referred them to a special committee. This committee reported that "Lily white" Republican were postoperative.
Seek Power in South
The avowed purpose of the "illy whites" is to gain control of the Republican organization in Mississippi from participation in the council of the party. They have secured a charter from the state. They sought recognition of the organization, of which Mr. Howard is the head, is the regular Republican party in Mississippi. The activities of the "illy white" party have been documented all factions of the regular Republican party in Mississippi.
The latest coalition includes Dr. S. D. Redmond, Thomas I. Keys of D.C. Redmond, A. Angela Mound, Mound Bayou, W. Moon, E. L. Patton, George S. Goodman of Holly
Laxative Habit
What do YOU do when the bowels need a little assistance? If you clearup the condition with some laxative made with CASCARA, there is no matter for the system-for the blood.
But if you don't KNOW the laxative you have learned to depend on is of harmless cascara, here's some information.
The bark of a tree called cascara is the most marvelous condition mankind has yet found. It stimulates the bowels muscular action, but does not work. A potent laxative forms the laxative HABIT. You always need more on the morrow. With cascara, you don't. Its gentle influence carries on sometimes for days. With less and less need of any aid, time goes by.
So, the very next time you feel sluggish, talo only a candy cascaret.

About 100 acres of ground, surrounded by a wide belt which the cabin was situated and where the simple grave is located, will be included in the memorial

DR. PENN SPEAKS
Sheridan, Wyo., Feb. 10.—Dr. I. Garland Penn of the Fulton St. Methodist church, Chicago, delivered a stirring address to a large audience at the Tuesday evening session of the district ministers conference being held at the Methodist church, thus usus "The Negro in American Life."
The basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical College in 1875, nor since he placed on the market the laxative prescription he had used in his practice, known to druggists and the public since 1892, as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Then, the treatment of constipation, billiousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions that result from constipation was entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is a combination of senna and other mild laxative herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and for you, and the better for the general health of all. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs?
A bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepin will last a family several months, and all can use it. It is good for the baby because pleasant to the taste, gentle in action, and free from narcotics. In the proper dose, given in the directions, it is equally effective at all ages. Elderly people will

THE MUSICAL BUNCH By DAVE PEYTON
Fess Williams
"Knocking" is one of the things
is one of the evils that should be
done.
eliminated from the ranks. While you are knuckling at the ground, probably climbing the ladder of success and paying little attention to the crowd. And leisure rans.
A.
The fellow who has pride and ambition to amount to something as idolized as the public, the final judges of one's destiny. All who do is only a boss.
the knocking you Dave Person do is only a boost for the one knocked. If you cannot speak well of a person say nothing, but if you can constructively and not maliciously. When you hear of some one being knocked, take notice to see if the person is in life. If we are ill no one notices us. So let them knock you bunch. All you do is to pay little attention to the knockers and keep climbing the ladder of fame, success
Those Knocked
In the musical arena those who are continually knocked are the leaders and contractors. These people are able to have the personality to do business for the players. After they get work for you all you can do is to stand around the corners and harp stern. They are written as stern, but for this reason has decided to blacklist the knocking brothers. This should be taken into consideration by all of the leaders and contractors. You can or can not curve them out and this deplorable situation will soon be wiped out. Another class of musicians knocked are the ones who are striving to accomplish something that goes for the poolrooms and gambling houses. They are called swelled heads because they choose to connect themselves with decent society and not make bumps out of
The Gutter
Bunch, let me say this: If the knockers want to stay in the gutter let them stay there. Only those in the gutter with them pay any attention their railing. They are doing something and mean a great deal in a community. You cannot go wrong by doing the right thing. We are all criticized and we should listen to it. But there is a vast difference between the gutter rapping. Stop knocking, bunch; you only elevate the one knocked.

Dorsey's Poem
Thomas Dorsey, one of the best musicians in the West, who has been sick for the past two years, but at this time getting along, pretty well, a pawn in the fight to the title of "The Song Is Ended." He got the inspiration one day while taking a walk. He gazed upon a war veteran with both arms severed, strolling among the things named popular song. He immediateled out his pen and scribbled the following: The war is ended but the memory linger on. Though the war are gone, But the memory linger on. The nights were splendid as the darkness passed away.
Fighting both night and day,
And the shells falling where they
were.
The only light was the moon.
Some took a journey that ended too
soon.
And souls descended, but peace came
with the dawn.
Those who were gone, but the
memories tingers on.
Johnson's Joymakers
Johnson's Joymakers, a red-hot bunch of eight musicians, are doing service at the White House cabaret Music in Montreal, Alberta Ferguson, who entertains. The whole gang is making a hit in the Southwest and this writer extends to them his hearty congratulations and wishes them a definite continuance.

A MANAGER'S REPORT
Clarence E. Muse's "Charleston Dandles" have just concluded a one-week having played at the Palm Beach to capacity attendance for the entire week. could not be exaggeration to say that Muse has given Greenwich theatergoers one of the finest, if not the best all-Colored attraction this week.

By CHARLES O'NEIL
CHARLES UNNEL
Kansas City, Mo. -- Recovered from a very serious illness of three weeks duration, I will endeavor to let the theoretical fans know what has been taking place at the Lincoln Center, and the changes have occurred that will be of interest to the performers.
In the first place the theater is undergoing a thorough remodeling in the rest rooms have been installed and the dressing rooms are being taken care of. Two new picture machines costing $1,000 each have also been installed along with other new equipment.
According to the manager's statement, only the best of stage productions will be engaged in the future, but the rest rooms have been knoled in the selection of his future bookings. This house being consolidated with the larger white theaters. Loew-Midland and Universal pictures will be the order of the day.
Last week "The Big Parade," a wartime picture, was shown to a packed house each night, and considering the patrons, with two shows a night, it proves that Kay-See is ranting with the larger cities in the metropolitan patrons. The present week's offering is "Ben," a nighttime screen productions of all time, with a special stage offering.
The orchestra under the leadership of Harry Dillard, has been increased to 120 musicians, the sclans in the city. A special treat given to the patrons was the appearance of Charles Willis, national stage star on the Pantigues circuit, who is rendered several select numbers.
Willis, a tenor, is too well known as an artist for a discussion of his talent and his polished and effective style. He is the standard of the circuit he is now playing. Another singer who is attracting much attention in the West is Miss Iola Burton, a local product, who is several selections on the program.
Miss Burton recently returned from a successful engagement over the Pantagoras time with "Three Black Diamonds", the same being Maceo Brown and Brown all of this city. These three hoofers have a versatile assortment of steps and are graceful and fast. One of the blits is a slow motion pantomime before going into a dance and this added further novelty to the clean-cut appearance and way of wearing makes them an attractive trio.
SILAS GREEN SHOW
One of the most successful aggregations traveling in the South is the 2013 tour of the show. The show carries a full line of equipment and its own palace car, purchased some time ago, which is reputed to have cost around $50,000, but the show is free. The show and Fountain Woods leads the orchestra and band. This writer thanks them for their kind remembrance last week in shipping North a line box of Florida fruit.
Frisco and Eucalyptus played the week of the 30th at the Bowdin Square Center. Don Cassius, and broke up with their husband Al Stanfield and Hester Brown, write in Kelth's Boston office.

An article by Theophilus Lewis, published in the Opportunity magazine and reprinted in the Amsterdam News, places the blame for the degeneracy of our theater upon the cue-laden shoulders of the actors. We raise our voices in loud and vehement protest and exclaim, "NOT
Our deficit. We plead guilty of being abundantly lacking in initiative,苛勤ly wasteful of time and talent, immeasurably distant from perfection, sometimes lacking in race pride and not always vitally concerned about patriotism. But all of us are not morons, imbeciles, nit-wits and jackasses. Some are better and some are worse.
To say that the actors are to blame for the degeneracy of our theater or stage, or to assume or aver that they can control the situation is crediting them with too much ability and power. As well declare that our cooks, managers and actors have not been responsible for the "blues" and the consequent decline in popularity of the classics.
Observation and experience has proven to us that the actor is a marionette, dancing or performing as the managers, playwrights, producers and managers. We have seen that the actor is vulgarity and lewdness under protest. Deep-rooted in the heart of every actor worthy the name is the insatiable desire to do something that is really worth while: to sing a classic, write a symphony, to enact a stellar dramatic role or to interpret an aesthetic dance. But where will he find a market for his work? We will see them from in sufficient numbers to make it profitable for managers and performers?
About 25 years ago, Bob Motts opened his Pekin theater. Associated with J. Ed. Green, Jerry Mills, Will Murray Cooke, Joe Jordan, Will Tyler, Frances Mores, Lawrence Chenault, Harrison Stewart, Lottie Grudy, Pearl White and several others whose names I cannot at this moment recall. While the performances were a novelty to the whites, the theater flourished. Afterwards our "better class" failed to support it and the theater
Were not the Lafayette Players a talented group of actors? Did they not artistically interpret some of the best dramas from the pens of the greatest playwrights? Here then was the opportunity for the so-called "better class" to make permanent a high class of entertainment. But it was not the only class that could be unbound by the nature. The "better class" run true to form. It has never supported anything but its snobbery and its egotism.
Bob Russell wrote and presented more than a hundred plays and musical concessions. Even on one occasion, the household entertainment, yet he died in poverty and practically unknown, except to a few friends and the actors who knew and loved him. Whitney and Tutt presented the "Mayer of Newtown," "George Washington Bullion Abroad," "My People," "Darkest Americans," "Children of the Sun" and "Baboula," high-class, enjoyable entertainments, yet they did not have the financial success they deserved because the "better class" failed to support them.
Billy King laughed at a "better class" that flocked to hear "String Beans" tell his smilies jokes and condemned him afterwards. "I'll give them what they are really looking for," said Billy. He did, and made more money than any of our producers with the possible exception of Irvin C. Miller.
Irvin C. Miller is an astute showman. He keeps his thumb on the public's pulse and prescribes the class of entertainment it desires. He is as familiar with the idiosyncrasies and desires of the protectorat and the clown as he is familiar with the "Better Skin Models," condemned by many for its flaunting display of naked female pulchritude, has netted a larger profit than any other show ever presented upon our stage. If there be any of the "better class" who have not seen

West Palm Beach gave the Silas

never have I enjoyed myself more
than I have in the past weekend in West

past week at West Palm Beach. Robert Horn, the beloved drove up in his brand new Packard, took me and the bunch over to that is owned John by he and John Collier, and after we gave the club the once-over, where experience from the good old days was they just keep it in different places. Bob took me to his beautiful home, where his attractive wife that he had to get on the job of checking his books and said: "Here is the house key and key to the cellar. This front room is yours, and you will motor you any place you want to go, and the car is lilled with gas; and for fear you may want something I have forgotten, here's a little that's all I can do." Well, take it from Joy, there wasn't anything else to do.
Some of the girls wanted to see the "Little Monte Carlo" so we took them there and for them to see what the days of 49 really looked like. Jersey Summons, my old schoolmate from State College, danced and ducted the finest barber shop in West Palm Beach. The Silas Green orchestra played for a dance after the girls danced. Jones and Eubie Blake, the latter of "Shuffle Along" fame, had just arrived in the city, and maybe we didn't have some. Mrs. Mimile Horne, Mrs. Nea Horns, and Mrs. McCarthy, of course Mrs. Wooodle mench had to take me for a little pain in his sport: model Cadillac. Dr. Miller and staff to his home for lunch.
Miami, Fla. gave us a turn-away business. I was kept busy meeting old friends. Called on a number of my former patients to see how they were doing. I met with my office. Found tables, cabinets, etc. just as I left them; only needed a little dusting off and then go to work. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't afford it. The Green Show hasn't expired. Visitors called to look the "car beautiful" over (speaking of our all-star Fullman) were Dr. and Mrs. Sawyer, owners of the Mary Elizabeth hotel, and the most prominent physician in Miami. Ms. Sawyer was a resident, Dr. L. K. Pharr, the undertaker; Mrs. S. E. Thompson, D. A. Dorsey, owner of the Dorsey hotel, and many other prominent residents of Miami.
Henrietta Off
Henrietta Collier has landed in Cuba and I am about as happy as a kid. Her dadmy promised her the trip, and although business in the States demanded his attention, he realized that Henrietta had worked hard to make a hurried trip to Georgia, he left orders for Mrs. Freddie Howell of Chattanooga, Tenn., formerly my nurse, to chaperon the little miss to the capital of Cuba. She will return, methinks, when her bank roll gives out, or the customs officers "the her lady buys everything in Cuba that she sees.
What's the Matter Now?
so wants to be reminded of it when a little word of affection means so much. You worth a million dollars know that you don't have to guess and you don't have to guess about it. I really think a word of appreciation from managers as well as artists would show gratitude for favors or help them extend it. I really want to hear a little applause. We all look for a little praise, and it means much. One can feel a warmth around th heart. It stimulates us to greater efforts. Nagging and grumbling drive a wife away from home; likewise a husband from a wife, a good artist from a show, or a manager take other steps. A constant drop of rain on a solid rock will penetrate it. So don't a Dumb Dora be yourself. Better results will come. Mail will reach the Silas Green bunch at St. Augustine, 13th; Ferendale, 14th; Jacksonville, 15th; Madison, 16th; Tallahassee, 17th; Lake City, 18th, all Florida, and Valdosta, Ga, 20th.
FLORENCE MILLS MEMORIAL
their readers, noticed that every week there is a news bit from the Florence Mills Theatrical association? The association is stepping and the memorial fund is growing better. Their next prospective visit will be in Washington, D. C. on Feb. 12. By special wire news has come of the benefit staged on Jan. 16 in Los Angeles by the imitative Bill (Bojangles) Robinson in aid of the Florence Mills memorial fund. It was a played to a packed house were such movie stars as Low Cody, Ruth Roland and Wm. Desmond; our old friends, Moss and Frye, with the favorite vaudeville stars, Melt Kee, Trahan and Milice, John Steel Jack, Bonnie Rubin and Jerry Ruth McIlan, Bennie Rubin and dozens more, even to the Chinese Lee Fong quartet. Of course on the spot was Doc Stratine, whose personal assistance and memored the night's success. A debers from his company with Bloo augur, on route via air mail for the press.
The association and officers take his opportunity to thank Curtis W. Lansville for the donation of the theater and the support given the benefit by the management. Again "Bo" has shown his heart where the actor or those of the theater are located and thanks. To those who participated in the least or on the program we repeat "We thank you." In the meantime another meeting of the association called at the Lafayette theater on Thursday, Feb. 2.

this show it is because they have not had the time, the money, or they do not attend theaters.
We were standing at the rear of the auditorium in the Lafayette theater, watching a particularly salacious dance, when a well-known society woman spoke to us. She waved her jeweled fingers towards the stage and said: "Mr. Whitney, that is the kind of entertainment the people desire. I have seen every one of the wonderful shows Whitney and Tutt ever presented, and will never more interest you than my advice, lay aside your ideals for a while; stop trying to uplift and educate people who do not wish to be uplifted or educated. Give them what they want and make yourself some money."
Mr. Lewis writes: "If the Negro actor the artist he should be, he would not complain of being dominated by the audience. He would master his audience and make it like a progressively higher form of entertainment."
. . . . .
When, allow me to ask, did ever the actor force the public to accept a form of entertainment it did not desire? If it is possible of accomplishment, kindly give us the formula. Before any reform can be accomplished, the desire and need for reform must be implanted in the people's mind and heart. Even the government must intervene, aided by its army, navy and billions of dollars cannot enforce the 18th amendment.
Few actors are playwrights. Many of the best actors, white and Colored, are near illiterates. They are dependent upon the playwright for their material and the playwright is dependent upon the promoters and managers for the opportunity to produce his play. Let the playwright write to the opportunity to produce his plays, the office loss to produce them and see how quickly the actors will lend themselves to the experiment.
Mr. Lewis continues: "Drama and vaudeville. The comparison optionizes the Negro actor's deficit. We think of the French theater in terms of its Talmus, Coquelins, Bernhardus and Quintrys. We think of the English theater in terms of its Burages, Irvings, Garricks, Siddones, Bracegirdles and Ellen Terrys. We think of the American theater in terms of its Forrests, Hackettis, Fisks and Barrymores. We think of the Negro theater in terms of its Johnny Hudginses, Billy Mileses, Hammert Harringtons and Miller and Lyles."
Our theater is in nowise disgraced when we think of it in terms of the above named gentlemen and actors. Comparisons are nearly always adious. This one is at least ill put and unfriendly. Why expect us to develop actors who are not so good at developing? Yet, these same actors, whom he has sarcastically named are holding their own with the best. Mr. Lewis' inferiority complex may prevent him from seeing the fact, yet it nevertheless obtains.
Race theaters are scarcely 25 years old. Their promoters established them, firm in the belief that our "better class" would prefer patronizing them to being segregated, "Jim Crowed" and illuminated in the white theaters. They were doomed to be mistaken. The "better class" still prefers to go where it is not wanted.
"But what about our Cloughs, Pryors, Desmonds and Bishops?" asks Mr. Lewis. Then he states: "If the whole kit and caboodle of them were worth the grave dust of Joseph Jefferson they wouldn't have to hang around Broadway stage doors crying for dramatic handouts at $35 a week top."
The Pekin actors and then the Cloughs, Desmonds, Pryors and Bishops were the first to convince white America that our players could really act. They certainly do not deserve the slur from a young scribe whose years and experience are not sufficient to elect him a competent judge. It is much more critical than an ability to do what he is not accomplished. It is more creditable for them to hang around Broadway stage doors, waiting a chance to do something artistic, than to waste their talent and impoverish themselves playing to a local few of the "better class." And some of those, sarcastically mentioned, have found the handouts so profitable that it will doubtless take Mr. Lewis a long time to be recognized as their financial equal.
Billy Mills is the only one of those mentioned as representing the theater who has spent any considerable time playing in our theaters. Had he not been a critic, he would not simply be the rainday, Butter Beans and Susie, Eilah Waters, Chas, Glipin, the Cloughs, Pryors, Desmonds, Bishops, Oldens, Thompson, Decomatheres, Clereners, Moores, Irvin C. Miller, Quintard Miller, Amon Davis, Billy King, Sherman Dudley, the Whitman Sisters, Dodo Green, Sam Grey and Whitney and Tutt as representative of our theaters he would have been near the fact. All of them were not simply the best talent in theaters, but only a few have been sked by the white crickets and are therefore without Mr. Lewis' notice.
Says Mr. Lewis: "The actor imbued with a sense of Race pride and responsibility, like Ethel Waters, or the late Bob Cole and Florence Mills, is a rare bird in the ranks of Negro performers."
Bob and Florence have passed. God rest their souls, but why forget or neglect to mention George Walker, Earnest Hogan, Dad Lucus, Kelly and Catlin and Alda Overton? They were not wanting in Race pride and sense of responsibility. Ethel is still with us and of us. She would be one of the most talented and intelligent people in the industry and add patrons. And she has often said to this writer: "If anything happens I always figure on going back to them, for I believe they love me and will receive me as they have always done." She does not credit the acclaim of the audiences before which she is now playing any more than she did in the past. She is doing the same things and singing the same class of songs: "Shakin' That Tling" and wriggling the Black Bottom not one wit better, only as time, study and work have improved her art, than before she came within the notice of so celebrated a critic as Mr. Lewis. Ethel will laugh long and loudly to learn about the Negro culture. All she does belongs to us and we will not allow Mr. Lewis to give her to the white folk.
Listen to this: "The Negro actor has not only failed to make the stage a vital part of his cultural life, he has degraded it below the notice of the 'better class' of the Race."
For the sake of knowledge will Mr. Lewis kindly define just what he means by the "better class": "We have kindly association with all classes, yet we have not had any association with the better class." Our mind, education, money, professional titles or college degrees not always determine eligibility to the "better class".
Without rancor, in a spirit of resentment, or because of umbrage at his remarks, we would wish to see Mr. Lewis write an uplift play, select his actors, finance the venture and attempt a tour of the Race theaters. Only in this manner will he ever be able to prove the dignity of his so-called 'beauty' play, the 'better class' because it is fondly and often would not batter down the theater doors to see his play, and he would return a wiser and poorer scribe.
Our theater has evolved from a boony tank to its present-day status. Twenty years ago there were only two or three. Today we have nearly 400. Not only have they increased in number, but in size, comfort and beauty. The managers and actors were unable to force the kind of entertainment on the patrons who attended that they desired to deliver. The 'better class' did not attend. But the standard of entertainment has shown a steady upward improvement. And that without the aid of the critters and with the aid of a few of the 'better chas'.
This is the age of thrills. Folk crowd to a naked show because it is denounced or forbidden. Therein lies the kick. We are drunk with freedom. We will not have any person or person to situate our personal experiences. We will not have any person like it, but we are forbidden. In this manner we prove to ourselves our inalienable right to drink whatsoever we please. Slowly but surely, theater devotees are tiring of vulgarity and nudeness. They are being satisfied. And so surely as truth crushed to earth will rise again, that right will eventually prevail, so again will art get a showing.
Mr. Lewis says: "The few performers intelligent enough to sense what is wrong with our theater lack sufficient energy to make even a gesture at reform."
Discounting the intelligence for the desire, we can lay claim to having made an emphatic gesture towards reform, but one finds it difficult to keep up even a gesture on an empty stomach.
The analogy Mr. Lewis draws between the actor and the painter is not a true one. The painter decides what brushes and pigments he will use, but the promoters, managers and playwrights decide what roles the actor will portray, "Nathaniel Hawthorne" and "Rip Van Winkle" made Joseph Jefferson the didn't make them. Dana Quinn, David Warfield, Shakepear great both and Barrett. Great actors are pretty much the result of great plays and clever exploitation it seems to us.
The public is a capricious thing. If, as Mr. Lewis suggests, we attempted to enact a portrayal of Toussaint Laperrote we would most like have to give great prizes to the bluest actor in our film about portraying Booker T. Washington? The so-called "better class" did not fall upon his neck while he lived. Why should we presume that it would take more kindly to a stage portrayal of the great educator? Allow us to ask, what great reform was ever conceived and carried to fruition by the "better class"? as we behold it is composed of clean livers, righteous thinkers, who love virtue, despise hypocrisy and have an acquaintanceship with truth and honesty. These are not always to be found on "Strivers row" or the boulevards. You will often find them among the washer-women, in the kitchens, carrying the hod, hustling baggage, on the farms, digging ditches, portering on trains, sometimes in amen corners, even among actors and sometimes among the "better class." These are God's anointed, and it is upon their backs that the Race will climb to its place in the sum.
Milton Starr, ex-president of the T. O. E. A. has lost none of his enthalpy for the success of the organization. For it he predicts a glorious future. Blifou patrons were enthusiastic in their praise of "Desires of 1923."
The Douglass hotel is a very fine place to stop if one likes peace and the homelike atmosphere. The Washington has been remodeled and is a good hotel.
Had a letter from Mrs. Isis Fountaine, late manager of the "Desires." She is now with Mr. Miller's "All Girl Revue" and says it is a dandy show. Mrs. Fountaine is an excellent manager and is a great favorite with the "Desires" company. All send their best regards.

is contracted for by Clarence Jones.
Mr. Dickerson replaces Jimmy Bell in the director's seat.
Reuhen Reeves, the cornetist, has taken Chicago by storm. He is in a class by himself. Not only a jazz artist is he, but a finished trumpeter. He is in Fess Williams band at the concert. He is distinctly individual. His tones are clear and definite as a bell lick. He jazzes artistically and his work is void of blasty, sloppy tones that are slickening to love. To Chicago has the hottest trumpeter yet to hit the Windy City.
Sammy Williams and Upses Chambers are the clever organists now stationed at the Regal theater. Both are picture cue artists and the town is talking about them. They play the organ like it should be played.
The ball given last week for disabled musicians drew a large crowd, but the enormous expense for the ballroom and advertising was just another affair. Nevertheless another affair will be given soon for the same purpose.
Chirence Black and Charles Eigar with their crack bands, are still doing their stuff nightly at the Savoy ballroom, the pride of the South side. J. J. Fagin, owner of the Savoy will have nothing but good music He is the man responsible for the success of Fess Williams in the East Fess made his fame in Fagin's Savoy ballroom in New York. Verona Biggs, president of musician's local 205, has the orchestra at the Owl theater and the five-piece unit is the talk of the district. They play good picture music and in orchestral specialties they are superb.
VIENNA POLICE GUARD FOR JOSEPHINE BAKER
Vienna, Austria—A police guard was placed around Joseph Baker, American dancer, who has become a student of the French capital because university students had declared their intention of preventing Race artists from placing in Vienna. In the court, the escorted dancer from the station to a hotel, in front of which students assembled. The streets were afterwards cleared in view of the students' resentment against the jazz opera "Johannie," in which a Race man boasts that all white women capitulate to him, posing as executives to protect the young woman all the time she is here. Students throw chemical bombs containing sneezing powder at a performance, causing a number of women to fall. Twelve students were arrested.
RAGE LIFE PLAY TO BE
STAGED ON BROADWAY
New York—F. Ray Cormstock announces that he will present "Meek the life of Race people in the oil fields of Texas at the Princess theater. The producer is Lester A. Walton. New York's first author and the author is Frank Wilson, now playing the title role in "Forgy." "Meek Mose" is the initial effort of a play by Walton, to establish a Race theater on Broadway. The new play, like the popular Theater Guild productions, includes a number of adoring spirituals.
JEANNETTE HITTING
The clever Jeanneette and her big act rioted on the bill at the Hippophoenie theater. Cleveland, last week, has been a great place to praise the praise of the clever actress and her gang. Here is just what one of them had to say of her act:
"Mrs Seymour. Like Ethel Waters, has an exhilarating personality, a natural charm, and a talent that makes her singing and dancing distinctive. She is the only Negro male impersonator that we have ever seen in vaudeville, yet she wears her hair in a bun and a man. Her band is small but it dispenses an excellent brand of music."
STARS INVADE CLEVELAND
Two great record stars, Ethel Waters and Mamie Smith. Invaded Cleveland last week and stopped train traffic. Mamie was her first at the Globe theater and Ethel at her bunch triumphed at the Colonial. The latter has been on a three week's run at every performance. Both companies stopped at the Lincoln hotel.
Allen McMillan and Ione Stewart have teamed in a new act consisting of singing, talking and dancing. They are working in and around Chicago. They recently appeared on the bill "The Dancing Home for Girls. They were forced to take many bows.

AMON'S PEN
AMON'S PEN
By AMON DAVIS
Columbus, Ohio.—We are now playing my old partner's home town, Columbus, Ohio. I am speaking of Jodee Kidd at the present time. I have spent many pleasant weeks here with different friends. One of my pals here is very pleasant, she always makes it very pleasant, she shows the folk and he is a regular follow.
We spent a very good week in Cincinnati last week. Business was good and fun galore. I was up to look over the stage, we were Charles S. Plain and I used to go to the old Dunbark theater, and as far as recommendations and comfort for the performer, the old Dunbark, as old as the Dunbark, as old as the theater here hosted a great deal of how anyone who will put so much money in a theater building and let a contractor draw up a house plan like the one the NYC theater has put up.
The main fault with the man or firm that has a theater erected, I mean the ones that accept those kind of all wrong plans that they don't know all about the nature of the show, and won't stand to be told anything about it, and are too proud to ask anyone. The answer is the poor actor has to suffer the Giscomforts of all wrong plans that once that has witnessed a show that had to be put on with nothing to work with, on or by on account of no place to hang scenery and no room to place or put whatever flat stuff the show is show is bad, no matter how good the show may be. All who know me know that I am not a kicker, but the managers want us to give good shows is in us, so why not give the proper theaters to give a good show in? Am I right or wrong I ask you. We go to the Globe theater in Cleveland next week for the week. Then Kodiak will show my friend John Mason. Well, Rare, how's tricks? Tell little fast Speedy Smith I say, "Good-bye, old Stovey; good luck, old pal." I am going to the coast. Come on and go with me. Where money grows on trees. He hit.
Well, Roy Carter, I know you and Goubey are cleaning up over on "-i11" with your dancing. Go on with em, boy; I know you will show him. Good luck, my boy. If you hit there first tell em about me. I will roll in later with the old sport model.
The gang tells me to broadcast a good luck to everybody greeting for you with the gang again with the gang again. Well, Jack Goldberg was through hee- Wednesday to visit the show and, and my old time friend of "How Come" days with him, Sam Grisman, and they were the same old smiling good fellow that made everybody on the show like him and had some very good news for me that made me feel good. It will all come out in the wash as soon as I set to New York city—and how Well, you tell you later through the W.G. W.
"Tokio," one of Irvin Millers shows, played here two weeks ago and left a fine reputation behind it. The Elks made a home and all the Bills made it very pleasant for us. Miss Helen Battles was the only Daughter Elk there and the brothers just swamped her with love. We were whisked home in private cars and called it an evening well spent. Next week we will be at the Globe theater, Cleveland, Ohio, opening Feb. 15. In New York city, it won't be now.
York city: It won't be long now.

Silly Question
Rufus Norman
OUR attention is called to one
Pauline Jackson, 580 St. Nicholas
Ave. New York city, who would like
to form the English channel in
August.
This young lady has been given a
great deal of publicity since swimming in Wrigley's marathon race in
in Toronto, Canada. No, she didn't win,
but out of all the titles she had,
was given out as six and one-half
hours which gave her recognition.
Mille Cade Carson, the only mother
to swim the English channel, and
Bella Heath, who won the championship for women's endurance, have
started an association and they
thought so much of Pauline that they
have made her a member. So far she
is only representative of her Race,
no other group has ever swam
the channel.
Pauline needs help. It costs a thousand dollars more for a lot of other expenses. Can't you think of some way to help you? You can write to her about the negotiation?

THE football rules committee certainly clarified some rules when they made three changes in the 1928 rules and these changes lessen the worry of some players the world of football is pulled out but would cause them embarrassment because of the different way opposing coaches interpreted the meaning of the said rules.

WE have wondered why the Illinois Athletic club didn't think of Phil Edwards, the New York university coach, first-class opponents for Dr. Peltzer, the German crack runner. They sought Lloyd Hahn of the Boston Athletic association, but Hahn couldn't come on that day.

DON MAXWELL, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, went on the warpath in Sunday's issue and took a look at the team that gave them an old-fashioned spanking, which they needed. For a long time we have been under the same roof that the team some follow with the "guts" would "turn the horse out of the barn," and so Mr. Maxwell did.
The team's decision that affects the cinder path and the tanbark boards affects the boxing and basketball games.
We have been wondering just how many college teams are really amateurs? Some of the coaches apparently don't know what an amateur is and know that they professionalize team when they play their boys against any team that has players that are paid irrespective of the fact that they are professional. We get only our expenses out of it."
That doesn't take the taint off the player and the result is sooner or later that bob up into hellscape situation.
Somebody is going to come along and make good for a world record, a world record for a team. That somebody will in all probability get "kicked" off the team or the record will go into the discard and be a stuck pig that we are being lassoed because "we're Colored" when as a matter of fact we assume the team is a amateurism and get away with it. Physical Director/Crawford will give us, starting next week, two arrows that the subject from two different angles.

A FELLOW from Philadelphia writes that he read where Sunny Jim Williams fought Wolcott Langford in 1827 and that his information was that Wolcott Langford didn't fight Sunny Jim Williams in 1837, because Sunny Jim Williams was in Australia while Wolcott was beaten by Dave Ulman and three times by Jock Malone. He did, however, fight Sunny Jim Williams on the same card that the late Tiger Flowers fought Lou Bogash at Aurora and took a good pasting. It was few years ago when it was Wolcott's first start the fans overlooked it. Langford is pretty tough, but any boxer on the order of Shade, Uhlan, McVey or Williams can whip him. Under regularly you wouldn't have had to ask such a foolish question.

THEY have a fellow out in California named Rufus Norman, who goes to California and wants to play football. According to broad-minded sport writers like Mark Kelley and Harry Levette, Norman is a hard, fast player, but not as other than in the scrub line-up against the regulars.
Muffed Punt and Other Rules Changed for Betterment of Game; Officials' Work Easier
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 6.—The football rules committee ended a two-day session at the Seaview Golf club, Absecon, N.J., a short distance from here, and in those two days cleared up several rules that will materially benefit the game next fall.
The slight changes will in no way affect the game, as none as presented to the public but does relieve the officials of considerable responsibility and give the public a little chance of understanding of some plays that in 1927 seemed to be the source of many controversies.
It is possible that the rules will be altered, but the changes the rules committee sought to eliminate the games of games being won by errors. The changes are as follows:
1.—Backward pass must be thrown two yards through the air to come
2-Elimination of the muff and fumble clause regarding pants; ball to kicking side; ball to receiving team if it goes out of bounds, regardless of whether it was touched in flicking side; team attaching been fumled.
3-In all shifts players must come to a stop for one second after coming in motion, providing he comes to a definite stop before the ball is put in play.
4-In all forward passes no player of side in possession of the ball, either before or after the pass has been made, shall interfere in any manner with an opponent and count "their" side in possession into the rule to discourage screen passing.
7—Close line play was defined as the space between the two defensive tackles and three yards either side of the scrimmage line.
Explanation of Backward Pass
After considering the backward pass, the same time showing no inclination to revert to the 1926 rules, the committee decided that a lateral pass must be thrown over the protection which governed the play a year ago. If such a pass is made but the ball strikes the ground, the ground is thrown down a down at the point where it struck the ground. On the fourth down the ball shall go to the opponents. If the ball strikes the ground, it is played yards, it is illegal and shall be played like any other formation. If the ball strikes the ground, it is a fumble and be played like any other loose ball.
This places a reward on good defensive-play. Last year the aggressive onwards played double or triple pass formations. If the ball struck the ground on a handed backward pass, the offending 11 did not lose possession. The play simply counted down.
Regarding the handling of punts, the words muff and fumble have been eliminated in the player attempt to fumble it he must recover it in the field of play to retain possession. If the kicking team recovers, it in their hands. If the catcher fumbles the ball so that it goes out of bounds, it is the receiving team's ball at the point of contact. In less of how many of the kicking team touched it before it crossed the side line. In other words the general rule is that the ball in the end of play will not govern in this case. A kicking team to obtain possession of the ball on a fumbled punt must do so in the field
Bar Map in Motion
Last year there was a difference of opinion as to whether a player could be in motion toward his own goal and a committee ruled this cannot be done and has modified the rule to such an extent by saying that all players must come to an absolute stop for a score. This rule does not apply to teams using set offensive formations.
The committee, however, will permit one man to be in motion before a score. This rule does not apply for instance, an end may be in motion along the scrimmage line, but he must come to a stop for a fraction of a second before the ball is in motion. For instance, an end may be in motion after the shifted players have come to a stop for one second, but the end also must stop for a fraction of a second. The committee ruled that two or more men constitute a shift and that if one man is shifting he should be ruled under the player in motion college.
The committee reported that a growing tendency of coaches to use the screen forward pass had necessitated a rule discouraging this practice. As a result, a was changed to read as follows:
"If the side in possession of the ball makes a forward pass, no player of the side who has crossed the line of scrimmage, shall, either before or after the pass has been made in any way, shall not be touched until the ball has been touched, except in an actual attempt to catch or bat the ball himself."
Penalty for Interference
In other years passers delayed as long as possible in order to permit men to get passers secured in uniform or eligible receivers. If forwardes continue this practice of breaking through to hinder members of the defense in getting to the ball, the men would be penalized accordingly. The committee was insistent upon striking a way to discourage screen forward men from passing the pass ward will now realize its forwards must not give protection to their receivers. In this connection the question of long-term buck for receivers was discussed. Members of the

Ball Dead if it Hits Post
Any kicked ball or one which has been touched in the field of play and is alive becomes dead the moment the ball is kicked. Last year ball on the kick-off, free kicks or punts which had beep touched in the field and which struck the uprights or crossbars and the back into the field were ruled alive.

DAMIE DOINGS
BY ERIC ROBERTS
WELL they're off at last and each week ushers in one thrill after another. Nine conference teams have swung into action and right now the basketball pastime is at the zenith of its popular favor. The teams are battling with heart; soul and body to outsmart the opposition, and this is causing some somewhat whitewashed excitement. But still considered the logical leader of the conference by virtue of its defeat of Clark university at the start of the 2014 season, the team defeat the Morris Brown team since that date. The teams in Alabama and Tennessee have entered the fry game with teams from other states with an amount of trouble. The Atlanta teams are showing a superiority which has been characteristic of their encounter with teams from other states with an amount of trouble. The Morris Brown team during the latter part of the present month.
MOREHOUSE has had an in and out season. At one time the maroon looks like a million dollars, and at other intervals does not regress. They have teamed every team it has made at least once with the exception of the Clark Panthers, who have taken the maroon into camp on two occasions. Tuskegee and Alabama seem to have teams that have hung up a record that could be called impressive. Knoxville jumped into the fray last week only to receive a brace of overwhelming defense. The team's Fisk Bulldogs. Tennessee State has a team, but has not engaged in a conference game to date. The conference coaches here in Atlanta have been very good, which is giving a fine account of itself. They have styled themselves the "Congregational Flashes." They defeated Morris Brown and were in turn defeated by Atlanta university.
IN keeping apace with conference affairs it becomes astounding to bring to the board of schools are involved. The bowl out on professional performers, the limit applied to the number of years a student will be allowed to compete in athletics, and the scholarly requirements are all for the betterment of the student himself. Since freshmen will be allowed to carry athletic equipment about a fresh team at every institution next year? It would be a grand idea we think so, too. It would give graduate students a chance to enter the latter which otherwise would be idle a whole year. February is here and basketball will soon say goodbye to the picture.

CLARK WINS, 20-14, FROM MOREHOUSE 5
Rally Gives Victors the Game
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 4—The game with Morehouse was the most hotly contested game seen in the contest, but the pregame teams were determined to win and fought like two cornered cats. Both teams guarded wildfire and bushland, having scored just five points. Morehouse spring a bewildering passing game that baffled the Panther five to the extreme. The possession was held in check and did not register a single basket during the first half. Only two miraculous one handed backward heaves, coming from the hands of the Panther, stopped Black in the running during the first half.
The Morehouse guards were on the Clark sharpshooters; it was the finishing guard of Sapp that offset many of the Clark attempts at the basket. The second half began with Morehouse the lead and forging ahead with a free throw by Dobbs.
Then like a tumult the Clark team came to itself and showered basket balls. The team came to Johnson and Skip Hazzard run in and out among the Maroons and kept the ball against the backboard. With the team coming down and Morehouse promptly came to life and her total up to 14 Squat Johnson ended the Clark tally with a long looping heave that found its way without touching the rim of the basket.

Ed Rile, who ha been sojourning in California, and Jelly Gardner are among the players who have been in Cuba and California who are back in Chicago. Ed will most likely play first again for Detroit. Gardner is likely to be seen in the uniform of a western club.
American Gin fans are puzzled over the silence regarding the 39th St. club, Owner Trimble lives in Princeton, Ill., where he does a lot of hunting when not bothering with the hothouses. He promises to come out with some news soon.
Baseball didn't go so well in Cuba this winter. The racing there attracted the crowds in the afternoon so the games were switched to the morning and although bang up contests were to be seen the gate was small.
Out in California it was just a little better.
Harney is back, ready for a season's good work, and he can do his stuff on the mound as we all know.
Somebody asked about brother Woods. All we know is that he was late for church last Sunday morning. Maybe he stopped to hold a little church meeting all his own.
And the boys will come drifting back one by one. Each week another face appears. DeMoss dropped into the office last week.
Willie Foster stopped on his way back from Cuba to visit some school friend in Mississippi.
No, we haven't heard a word as to who the Cuban Stars will have in their line-up.
Judge Huston went to Detroit this week.
Some of the big guns in western baseball are expected in Chicago between now and Feb. 16. If you wish to leave for the East where a joint meeting will be held with the Eastern league magnate.

WHEN YOU DON'T
WANT TO EAT
Or What You Eat Hurts or Makes You Sick
Try a little diapspin. It's powerful in the stomach-contains real digesters that lend a hand to do the work a strong and healthy stomach can do. You can eat foods as fresh bread, pastry and rich rice. It enables you to get away with sausage, baked beans or mince pie. But no matter what you eat, even if you eat your billions or your stomach gets gassy, with heartburn or sour rinses, diapspin almost instantly makes the gas, makes you feel comfortable and enables you to digest and empty stomach on time and ready for the next meal. Get a 60-cent package of Fape's diapspin on time and ready for the next meal. It will surely bring you stomach comfort.

Drive out Rheumatic pains!
There is only one satisfactory way to drive out rheumatic pains from your joints and muscles and that is by driving out of your system the poison acids which cause inflammation and suffering.
Prescription C-2228 attacks rheumatism at its source and helps to cleanse the system of poison accumulations.
C-2223 is the original prescription of a reputable physician who used it in the treatment of sub-acute and chronic rheumatic aches and pains of the joints and muscles, gout and neuralgia.
It is pleasant to take, effective and safe. Your drugist sells the regular $1.00 size and the 50c trial size on a money-back guarantee. Ask for it by its original number:

"For fifteen years I have been using Black-Draught, when needed, for billowing and congestion." says Mr. J. O. Woolreid of Oriental N. C., "and I have always found it to be reliable and effective. It certainly comes up to all the good things that are said for it, and I am glad to recommend it.
"I have found that Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT purges the system of the poisons which accumulate when the organs do not act well, and I would not be without it.
"I always give Black-Draught to the children for colds (when a laxative is needed). It is fine for that."
"My trouble is chiefly conspiration which is always no better than beheads, backaches, and painful sides. I think Black-Drummet is the quickest and best raiser for this."
