John Leonard Whitfield Slain Escaping Prison WOMAN'S NUDE BODY FOUND IN POND USE CLASSIFIED ADS FOR QUICK RESULTS VOL. XXIII. NO. 46 WOMA WHITFIELD IS SLAIN AFTER PRISONBREAK Found in Hiding at Guard's Home (Picture on Page 4) Columbus, Ohio, March 16. The desperate efforts to escape confinement behind prison bars finally brought to a close the sensational criminal career of John Leonard Whitfield (the man for whom the whole nation watched five years ago) Sunday when he was fatally wounded with shotgun slugs nine hours after he scaled the walls of the Ohio penitentiary under cover of darkness. Death came after he had been retreated from prison and removed to remote slugs which had torn through the lifo timer's gallbladder and stomach. While the debonnail "spark plague" was unleashed on Monday in a local morgue, prison officials were getting the complete story of the jail break from Oron Hill. white prison guard, and his wife, at whose home on the outskirts of Columbus the burial of Police Officer Dennis Grillin (white) in Cleveland May 11. 1923, sought refuge. The guard and wife under the law of the state are facing sentences of life imprisonment by adding a lifetime prisoner to escape. Guard Aids Murderer Hill in his confession admitted that he aided Whitford for easy money. He stated that the murderer, who had been trailed over the northern part of the city, had taken the agreement since he became a guard six weeks ago. Through the prison grapevine system Whitford knew that he had been out of work and had been assigned to the penitentiary. The guard was reminded by Whitford that he had five small children to look after and that a farm somewhere behind him and Akron, with $3,600 as a nest egg, would be the very thing for them. The guard said the constant reminder of his obligations to his family, his husband and Akron, and the plans for the break-in formulated. Whitford, who was clever with his hands, arranged with an unknown woman to get the money from the Cleveland jail, the woman and everything was taken to come to the jail and purchase a carved monkey, the signal for the "get-away." The woman, whose identity still a mystery, came to prison in a trusty bough. A trusty bough was to Whitford to get it. On the night of the break Whitford didn't sleep in his own bunk, but hid in the cellar with everything which Hill unlocked. When an outside tower guard went for Hill's coffee he slipped the bar on the door. Hill stated that he walked around the building he could say he didn't see anything. The murderer made a rope out of waste bed tickling he got from the woolen mills and threw that over the wall to eat from the he was about to eat from the wall to side. He lipped two miles, dressed in the guard's overcoat, to the home of Hill. Here he made his fatal mistake, instead of hiding in the burn in the house. Whitfield remained in the house to nurse his surmised ankle. Discover Absence Whitfield's absence was discovered at the regular prison roll call and general alarms were immediately issued. The prison officials investigated that both inside and outside aid had been given the murderer. Cellmates of Whitfield were closely questioned. The guards who were questioned were the suspicion was placed on HIll, who was ordered held in the guard room. HIll at this point gave the clue which led to the discovery and death of Whitfield. He notified his wife that he had been detained. This, prison officials believed, was his effort to get word to his home that he was under suspicion that Whitfield should act accordingly. Detective W. E. Folk, white officer of the Columbus police force, accuses prison clerk, left for the home of Hill in a pententary machine. Arriving at the guard's home they met with resistance from Mrs. Hill, they said. Resists Arrest The connation, however, was spawned by Wilt, who pushed last Mrs. Hill and started upstairs he left Bonzo on guard in the front of the house. Folk ran and caught glimpses of Whitfield, and the crowd on the porch window and out on the porch roof. Bonzo shot and shattered a window, No one knew whether he hit Whitfield.

M. E. church, Frederick and Antoine Sts., last Sunday was in an uproar after the congregation had been notified to quit the premises because of nonpayment of the church debt. During the most trying time in the history of the church Bishop W. T. Vernon was in Chicago addressing the chatuaqua presided over by Bishop A. L. Gaines. The notice of foreclosure served by sellers of the church on the officials of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church: Please take notice that the agreement between Burnette F. Stephenson and Hazel M. Stephenson, his purchaser, bearing date of June 19, 1927, for the sale and purchase of land herein described, is hereby cancelled and declared null and void, because of the failure on your part to perform the terms of said agreement, to failure to pay installments of interest and principal required thereby. Please take notice that you are forthwith to quit, surrender and deliver up possession to sellers of land which you now hold of said parties, under and by virtue of the aforesaid agreement, and you are hereby given notice that you will be held liable to all loss, damage and extortion by said sellers, by reason of any failure or delay on your part in obeying this notice. The payments hereof paid on account of said contract will be retained by said sellers as reasonable rental for said premises, and your failure to perform said contract. The machinery of Bethel church has not run smoothly since last summer when Bishop Vernon removed Rev. Joseph Gomez, who had contracted the church debt, and appointed Rev. G. M. Tanner in his stead. However, the laymen of the church protested bitterly against the conduct and appointment of Rev. Tanner and refused to allow him to occupy the pulpit. Rev. Tanner had an injunction served restraining the members from interfering with the conduct and performance of the service. A curload of detectives were detailed to keep down any demonstration. The trouble was seemingly settled when Bishop Vernon transferred Rev. Tanner to Grand Rapids and appointed Rev. E. D. Robinson in his stead. Mrs. C. S. Smith, widow of the late Bishop C. S. Smith, presented to the church last Sunday a plan by which the church can raise the much needed money. The members have pledged themselves to save Bethel. The approximate amount delinquent is $99,652.47, according to the foreclosure notice. Kills Self Two Weeks After Wife's Funeral Baltimore, Md.

Church Fights Bishop Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY S NUD Pullm MAY FIGHT NEW DECISION BY WALKOUT Commissioners Fail to O.K.Plea Kansas City, Mo., March 16.—The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is making immediate preparations to declare a strike on all Pullman cars, Ashley L. Totten, assistant general organizer of the brotherhood, has announced here. Totten said, when asked, would be to create an emergency which would invoke the services of the emergency board, created under the federal railway law, to wage dispute with the Pullman company. "When the order is passed to strike, it will be quite easy to interrupt interstate commerce to secure the emergency board," he explained. Totten declared the Pullman company had refused to arbitrate when urged to do so by the United States interstate board. A decision of the emergency board would be final, he said. Washington, D. C., March 16.—The interstate commerce commission last Friday dismissed for want of jurisdiction the complaint of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters against the Pullman company. The porters' union sought to have the commission order the Pullman company to cease and desist from permitting Pullman porters to receive tips from passengers. The commission found that "the real objectives sought are increased wages for the porters and mails" in the employ of the Pulman company. It also found that the complaint late wages, and consequently no authority to inquire into the justness of the complainants' demands, however meritorious they might prove to be. Commissioner Clyde B. Alchison dissented. He said that the complaint seems to state facts which, if established, may constitute violations of law, "which we should investigate can now be done here and inspection of the complaint the argument thereon." Commissioners Joseph B. Eastman and Ernest I. Lewis joined him in his dissenting opinion. *Text of Decision* A part of the text of the decision by Commissioner Ezra Brainard is as follows: "Complaint, an association of some 7,000 persons of the Negro race employed as porters and mails by the transportation of passengers in Pulman service, alleges in Pulman filed September 7, 1927, that certain practices of the defendant herein-after set forth are in violation of the law. We asked to order the defendant to cease and desist from these alleged unlawful practices. The defendant filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the ground that the complaint forth did state a cause of action over which we have jurisdiction and that we are without authority to grant the relief prayed for in the complaint or any relief. We assigned the motion for our argument before us, which has been had. "A motion to dismiss a complaint for the foregoing reasons is not specifically recognized in our rules of procedure, and we are generally overruled, but our practice permits amendment of the pleading in all cases where we are satisfied that the plaintiff's knowledge facts which, if well pleaded, would constitute a cause of action within our jurisdiction and entitle the complaint to a hearing counsel. "Counsel for both parties were permitted at the argument to amplify their written pleadings by stating that the plaintiff claimed could be proved by them if an opportunity for a hearing were afforded. For the purpose of this report we will treat the written pleadings as such, and such additional allegations of fact. Considera Wages "A motion to dismiss admits the truth of all facts well pleaded, and considers what practices are assailed. "It is stated that the regular monthly wage paid by the defendant is $7.25; that this wage is fixed after taking into consideration the amount which defendant estimates the portion of the sum of $7.25 is not more than one-half to two-thirds of the wage necessary to enable the said porters to (Continued on Page 2) FREE REV.

C., March 16.—President Coolidge last Wednesday in a message to the senate transmitting a report by the secretary of state urged the congress to enact legislation authorizing an increase in the salary of the minister resident and consul general to Liberia from $5,000 to $10,000 a year. The president stated that he is "in full accord with the reasons advanced by the secretary of" In his report, bringing to the president's attention the matter of the salaries of the ministers and counsel of State Liber. Secretary of State Frank B. Kellog stated: "The salary of $5,000 now appropriated for this office is inadequate and is disproportionate to the salaries of service officers of the United States. Performs Other Services "The incumbent of this office is required to perform both diplomatic and consular functions, and for this dual service he receives a salary of only $5,000 per annum, which is $5,000 less than is paid to any other minister of the United States, $4,000 less than is paid to foreign service officers of class one, $3,000 less than is paid to foreign service officers of class two. "That a minister accredited to a foreign government should receive a salary no larger than that received by a second secretary is an anomaly in the foreign service of the United States which, in view of the undersigned, should, in fairness to the minister and for the sake of uniformity in the foreign service, be corrected." "Thus in 1925-26 the British consul general and the German consul at Monrovia each received a salary of $7,500 per annum, and in addition, entertainment and household allowances; in 1926-27 the British consul general received $9,272 salary, $2,195 local allowance, amounting to $11,465 more than double the entire compensation." station of the American minister and consul general, and in addition thereafter, a house is provided for him. The British vice-consul, a subordinate official, receives if married only about $400 per annum less than the American-consul general. The consular station, owned and furnished by the British government, is an elaborate two-story concrete building with 14 rooms and appurtenances. Germany, France and Spain occupy quarters for their representatives. "American capital is also entering Liberia on a large scale in the development of the American concession permits the planting of 1,000,000 acres, which is now being developed at the rate of about 20,000 acres per year and at an annual cost of a million dollars annually." The message from the president was read in the senate and referred to the minister for the duties. William T. Franch of St. Paul, Minn. is the minister resident and consul general to Liberia.

C., March 18—Rev. O. S. Bullock, pastor of the First Baptist church, Monday was exonerated of bastardy charges following a hearing before Justice of the Peace L. M. Waring in the city courtroom. The minister was accused by Miss Ella Evans, his former stenographer, of being the father of an illegitimate child born to her in January. Miss Evans gave notice of an appeal. The prosecution offered no testimony other than the affidavit of the girl on which the charges were based. In reply Rev. Bullock on the stand said that the girl was a militant with the woman, and offered as his principal witness James Davis, automobile mechanic, who admitted having had relations with the girl. Davis also stated that in January she had been at her request and had then told her and her mother that he was the father of the child and would marry her. A number of character witnesses appeared in Bullock who been in Foley for seven years and for 22 years has been in the ministry. Prominent Men Teatify W. T. Davis, registrar of vital statistics for Raleigh township, offered in evidence a copy of the birth certificate for the Evans girl's child, on which the name of the child was given by the mother, and on which the father was given as "James Davis," it being set out that he and the mother of the child were married. Dr. John T. Worthham, married that he had filled out the certificate from information furnished him either by the girl of her mother in the presence of the prosecutrix. Dr. Bullock's good character were Dr. Joseph L. Peacock, president of Shaw university, and others were Dr. A. W. Pegues of the Shaw university and Dr. Herry O'Kelly, Dean W. S. Turner, of Shaw university, and C. E. Lighter, prominent Raleigh citizens. Those of the witnesses who had cross-examination that her character was good prior to the birth of the illegitimate child. James Davis went into detail as to the circumstances with which he had become acquainted with the Evans woman, and bore up well under cross-examination by R. N. Simms, attorney for the woman. Davis made a good will towards the Evans woman, and direct and cross-examinations. He admitted under cross-examination that while he had been willing to marry the girl in January when he married the Evans woman, he changed his mind when it developed that she was charging someone else with being the father of the child. His employer had retained that interest in the matter, and Attorney Sawyer sat with defense counsel, W. B. Jones and Clyde A. Douglass, although he took no part in the question of witnesses or arguments of counsel. Following completion of the defense evidence, the attorneys submitted the case without argument and Justice Waring ruled that, in view of the testimony presented by the defense, no evidence offered by the prosecution, he found no evidence on which to hold against Dr. Bullock on the bantry charge. Baby in Court Attorney Simma gave notice of the appeal and attorneys parried over the question of whether Dr. Bullock was guilty of defending defense attorneys asserted they were prepared to give any bond desired but had never heard of a man, after being acquainted, being forced to put down the case of an appeal by the prosecution.

PART 1--PAGE 2 WHITFIELD IS SLAIN AFTER PRISON BREAK (Continued from Page 1) Event down. The two piled up and tumbled down the stairs, and when they untangled Whitfield ran back upstairs. Folk followed him, gun still in hand. ```markdown ``` "At the top of the stairs," Folk said, "he came at me again and my gun jammed. To save my life—literally—I couldn't make the trigger work. He had a butcher knife, and as I hit him he cut at me. Then I bluffed him and made him put his hands up. I bucked down him and kept him covered with the useless gun while he followed me." Plays "Good Fallow" Whitfield wanted to talk himself out of it—tried to play the good fellow that'd all right—I'll come. "he said," "When he got to the front porch he made another lunge at me with his knife." Folk said, "I grabbed him and tore down the sidewalk and tore down the sidewalk. But before he could turn the corner into an alley box shot—once or twice, or three times, don't know." Whitfield pushed over to the side of a shed and then lay down. "You've got me," was all he said, and here took up the tale as seen from his standpoint. "I was guarding outside when Folk went inside," he said. "I saw Whitfield burst through the window and out onto the porch roof, and I shot, and I shot, and I shot, and I ran inside and heard the scuffle he was having with Folk and the shooting. I saw him drop Folk with the chair, and I shot two or three times Shot as He Ran "Then I saw Folk bring him down stairs, and Whitfield's hands were above his head. And then there was a man in the back, and Whitfield as he broke away and ran." Whitfield was loaded into the penitentiary automobile and driven back to the prison he had so informally entered. "What clothing Whitfield had was civilian clothing, but when captured he were only trousers and a white shirt, unbuttoned at the neck. His clothes were in dark burglar's wounds were found in his desecrated body." History of Crime On the morning of May 11, 1923, Whitfield murdered Patroiman Dennis Whitfield, father of a murderer, the police station's questionable about the comparatively minor crime of stealing spark plugs. As a hunted policeman, he faced the police, facing him. Whitfield, with his dark skin bleached to whiteness by lemon juice, fed through five states in a year-old white sweetheart, Marie Price. After eluding the reaches of a native Whitfield, was recognized by a Madison, Wis. restaurant by "Chill Ail" Pelly, the proprietor. Detectives were unable to custody and started for headquarters. Daring the officers' guns, Whitfield broke loose, dashed in front of a street corner, and ran to the trooper. The manhunt was on again. Only a month later Whitfield was located in a Detroit lumberyard, where he held a job, and he was captured by Deputy Inspector Charles Nevel. Surrounded by deputy police, In Prison Five Years For 16 days during a special summer term of court Whitfield's trial for his life dragged on with the sweetness of his illness.

"The complainant concludes that the foregoing practices violate Section 101 of the published fares result in charges that are unjust and unreasonable.

THE ROBERT S. ABBOTT PUBLISHING CHICAGO, 2455 Indian Ave. Trol. 6087 Interested as second-issue matter Feb. 1, 1988 under a petition of U. of Chicago, under act of March 1, 1987. SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1928 GETS POST AS COUNSEL FOR COOK COUNTY Atty. N. K. M'Gill Will Receive $100 a Day Because of his excellent legal ability, Attorney Nathan K. McGill, general counsel for The Chicago Defender, the World's greatest Weekly, has been selected as special counsel for Cook county at a salary of $169 a day. It is the first time in history as fat as known that a member of our group has been given such an important position in a state government. Telegraph messages and letters from all sections of the country have been literally flowing into the office of Attorney McGill, congratulating him upon this signal honor. Attorney McGill was personally recommended to this position by State's Attorney Robert E. Crowne, who has shown every evidence of friendship both during the time when Mr. McGill was an assistant state attorney. He will be associated with Capt. Joseph P. Savage, counsel-in-chief, who was a former candidate for county judge. Following the announcement of the appointment, the many friends of Mr. McGill provided upon him, with the support of several foreign language newspapers, to become a candidate for court court judge at the April primaries. He declined because of his interest in the Chicago Defender, which is the biggest and greatest institution of its kind in this country, he says. Mr. McGill is also secretary for the Chicago Defender, besides being personal attorney for Editor Robert S. Abbott. After having been associated with the late Patrick H. O'Donnell of national and international fame in a case involving over $600,000, Mr. O'Donnell commended Mr. McGill in the following words: "Mr. McGill is the best lawyer than all the lawyers connected with my office. I could take him and rule the country." --- Hon. Robert S. Abbott, founder and editor of the Defender, was exceedingly happy because of the recognition he received for his regard as a most worthy recipient. In commenting on this appointment he said: "The reason Mr. McGill was personally recommended for this position by State's Attorney Crowne is because he is a man of exceptional ability, having been tried and tested." MOURN DEATH OF RODMAN WANAMAKER By EVANGELINE ROBERTS Among the thousands of mourners who last rested in the bier of Rodman Jr. in Philadelphia, Pa. Monday afternoon were crowds of our people, whose sorrow at the death of this princely philanthropist is echoed throughout the country. Memorial services were also held in Paris and London. The name of Wanamaker has always exemplified the highest in material and educational achievements. John Wanamaker Sr. founded the Wanamaker business in York, Philadelphia, London and Paris. Rodman, his son, began his career in the Philadelphia store. An attraction at this store is the Robert Curtis Ogden association, composed of employees of our Race, organized for recreational and educational purposes. Their band, consisting of more than 92 pieces, is the official music of the master. The daily concerts have grown to be a city institution. From this aggregation many embryo musicians have become recognized artists. As a generous patron of the arts Mr. Wanamaker sponsored the orchestra of the late Jim Europe, who before his tragic end in Boston in 1919 had become the famous band of the old 15th New York regiment. Under the patronage of Mr. Wanamaker and his family Europe became the choice in elite circles throughout the East and, with his musicians, reigned as the idol of the country's fashionable summer and winter resorts. The entire Wanamaker family attends Mr. Europe's funeral in New York. Prompted by the meeting of the National Association of Race Musicians in Philadelphia in 1926, the Rodman Wanamaker prizes, totalling more than $1,000, were offered as awards for musical compositions. Last year at the st. Louis meeting a Wanamaker announced the winners. Tuesday evening, between their acts at the Regal theater, members of the Right quintet, a group of New York singers, spoke of the nitrity of the deceased. They recalled a meeting with the senior John Wanamaker many years ago when they applauded the dinner party in the Waldorf-Astoria. Mr. Wanamaker, then an aged man, said: "I have always had sympathy and interest for your people. The first book I ever held in my hands was placed there by a man of your Race." Many of Mr. Wanamaker's benefactions are unknown, avoided any show, nullity. Of recent years he spent millions in promoting aviation, and his charities to those in distress are known both in America and Europe. Abyssinian Princess Is Greeted by British King London, England, March 16—Princess Yasminah, 7-year-old daughter of Prince Rus Tafari, regent of Abyssinia, whose family trace their ancestry back to the Queen of Sheba. last Saturday was presented to King George and Queen Mary in Buckingham Palace. Abyssinia braved a storm to visit the British majesties, who gave her a cordial reception. Her father, the ruler of Abyssinia, who was a guest of the British government in 1924, has a reputation of being a sanguacious and able prince and the palace attacheshes who watched the de- ferment of the ceremonies of presentation said that he lived up to the family traditions. CALLED TO DEATH McAlmont, Ark., March 16.—Abe Henderson, 65, was found last week murdered in front of his home. He had been shot in the chest. Police asserted that he had been slain by an unarmed Australian kid poisoned and been disturbed in his home to indicate robbery. The body, clad in night clothes, indicated that the aged man had been called from his bed and shot as he appeared in the doorway. When will warfare end?

MGILL General counsel for The Chicago Defender and former assistant state's attorney, who has just been appointed special counsel for Cook county at a salary of $160 a day. No cash honor has been conferred upon a member of the Race in like manner. Attorney McGill was personally recommended to the position by State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe. Associated with Attorney McGill will be Capt. Joseph P. Savage, counsel-in-chief and former candidate for county judge. Death Takes Stepfather of Attorney N. K. M'Gill Attorney Nathan K. McGill, general counsel for The Chicago Defender, the World's Greatest Weekly, left the city Tuesday night for Sanford, Fla., where he will attend the funeral of his stepfather, Rev. A. E. Irwin, who died early Tuesday morning following a prolonged illness. Rev. Irwin was a prominent citizen of Sanford and was well known in church and fraternal circles. He had gained the respect of men and women of the general public. His funeral will be held Friday at 11 a.m. Interment will be in the family cemetery. Rev. Irwin is survived by his widow, Mrs. Agnes McGill, whom he married in 1912. VISIT DEFENDER OFFICI James D. Williams, Flint, Mich. and F. G. Byrd, Waukegan, Ill., were officers at the Defender office. Mr. Williams is an employee of the Flint Country club. He is en route to Augusta, Ga., where he will visit relatives and friends. Millions of Fa on Dr. Caldwel Millions of Families Depend on Dr. Caldwell's Prescription When Dr. Caldwell started to practice medicine, back in 1877, the needs for a laxative were not as great as they are today. People lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain, wholesome food, and were well-fed. They shined. But even that early there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings to put into their system. So he wrote a prescription for a laxative to be used by his patients. The prescription for constipation that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended for women, children and elderly people, and they need just such a mild, safe, gentle Under successful management this prescription has proven its worth and is now the largest selling liquid laxative in the world. The fact that millions of bottles are used a year proves that it has won the confidence of the whole world. From headaches, biliousness to fatigue, indigestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia, colds and fevers. Millions of families are now never without Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Popsin, and if you will once start using it you will also always have a bottle of it.

YOUNG Citizens Flood Senate With Letters Columbus, Ohio, March 12. — Friends all over the country are urging congress to increase the present pension of Mrs. Ada M. Young, widow of Col. Charles Young, who was left with two minor children to rear and educate. Citizens have always felt that justice was not done to this loyal and capable American citizen, who should have, been made general, and they feel that the government in granting an increase will be only a smart part by way of separation. Those heading the movement throughout the state of Ohio are suggesting that every Spanish-American war veteran write a letter to the invalid pension commission committee of the house, urging favorable action on this bill, and that the agitation be taken up by every post the American Legion throughout the country. The bill introduced in the house of representatives February past, Senator Brand of Ohio reads as follows: Granting an increase of pention to Ada M. Young Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, that the secretary of the interior be, and he is hereby, authorized to place the pension roll subject to the provisions and limitations of the pension laws, the name of Ada M. Young, widow of Col. Charles Young, late of the United States army, and pay her a pension at the rate of 100 for lieu of that she is now receiving. It is hoped that the senate will be flooded with requests and that every ex-service man of color throughout the nation will feel an individual responsibility toward the memory of Colonel Young, who exemplified the best in American manhood. In honor of Colonel Young's birthday were held in many schools and colleges.

Ferguson, who is subject to falling spells, landed in the groove between the subway tracks. Motorman Strahl put on his brakes when he saw the man collapse, but several cars passed over the man body. When Dr. Wilkinson arrived from Hirnle hospital, it was found that Ferguson was not only alive, but inflicted. a great wall of lamentation, punctuated by an occasional utterance of "I surely will also Boots." For more than two hours it played a weird accompaniment to the solemn Baptist service conducted by Rev. J. H. Parker, pastor of Pleasant Green Baptist Church, "Boots," who came to St. Louis for graduation his first year, was known along the Mississippi river front, where since 1903 he had operated a saloon and roaming house.

Parisian Solution to Hair Growing Problem Those women who are in the uncomfortable, "growing their hair again" situation for their problem, need Persian solution to their problem. Instead of the usual uncompletely hairless wheels on the ear style, is both extremely smart and practical for the in-between stage. Hair are - rounded plaits or hair are - rounded low in the nape of the ears. The most attractive Victorian look to the earwars as they keep round each ear. Those whose hair is not yet long are hairs can use the short strenches every woman kept when she was first born. Sary can use the short strenches every woman kept when she was first born. Over the growing ends until they are long enough to be plaited. The variety to suit any face. For the woman with even, well out features, a central Madonna parting will probably be the most. If, however, she cannot stand anything quite so straight and severe, she can stand with the hair softly woven on either side. The pliantie, small faced girl may find that a frise is more becoming to her type, or one or two saucile lits on the forehead equally well with the hair softly woven on either side. The style is, of course, equally suitable to the woman who has always kept her hair and can burn really substantial stems. Bluefield, W.

Mrs. Esther Scott, 3124 Michigan Ave. entertained the members of the Advice to the Dear Princess: I have been helped so much by your advice to others that I am asking you to help me. I try to be right myself and I do not want to accuse anyone if they are not wrong. Here is my trouble: There is an old man, about 79, and he is very much a star friend, at least that is the suggestion to my wife. She is about 45 years younger than he is, but this old man seems to be very much interested in her and she seems the same way by him. Any time he can come to see her whether I am at home or not, he does it. It is never less than twice a week. He will do anything in his power for her. I have known him to do two favors for her, but tried to pay no attention to it. Yesterday I went to the store and when I returned, which was before they expected me. I saw something that I did not like at all. The old man reached for his hat, but when he did not see any change in me, he remained as if nothing had happened, and so did it. But I noticed they not been so excited. I want to be given the man, please tell me whether to allow him to come to my house when I am out of town.—D. L. F. The old friends of the family are good. It is difficult for some people to be real friends and pals and remain good. You must be the very best of friends and associated and yet never be the woman to be the very best of friends and associated and yet never be the many men who women love for their particular or peculiar little character, never think of the sexual part. Then there are other men who cannot go women unless they must proposition. Your own friend is really to old to fear, only the money will spend. That is the attraction her I feel sure, because an old man who does these days, unless he has money or unless he has been there so long that he heeds their proper, and when he sees home and wife to protect in whatever he deems proper, and when he sees them into him, I do not feel that you were seeing things. Your unexpected return is a man to sneak around his own home nor spy on his wife. He is his own English. When he don't like things, say Tell the old man that you would tell your wife to desist entertaining him and if she does not, and he does not, you will know that something is wrong. Dear Princess: I have been married for two years and my husband has never promised him. I know he was not a working man when I married him and I thought he was not a working man when I promised me faithfully he would go to work. He has always been nice to me, but he has always been a steady income. If he has anything I can always get it. If it is his last dime, he will be happy. Much that is. He would be a number one man if it was not for that fault. He would have lost confidence in him. He says he would do better but I am so discouraged. Dr. Lillian S.

Maybe you will, but I doubt it. Maybe I should try to encourage him, but somehow I cannot. Please, I say Princess, will you advise me—Billy. A man who has failed to connect himself in some line of occupation is dangerous. The longer a person follows a certain line the harder it is to quit it. I don't endeavor is the solution even if I can't do so. I can't be so good to make a living otherwise. There are too many men seeking comforts and unwilling to strive for them. When a woman marries a man who has never worked she works, but it is doubtful. If he will work for himself you could hardly expect him to work for some one else. I do not ensure you for losing confidence in him and reminding him of it. It would be amazing if you could stop trust him. Encouragement is the greatest of all beacon lights to success, but some people accept it only as a smoothing up or covering over for lazars. He will never be any different. If he will not work while he is young he cannot work when it gets old. It will have chosen a bar proposition. It will always be bad. Dear Princess: I have read your wonderful advice to others and I feel that you have been very helpful to women and have been for eight years. I have been very unhappy. My husband has been very unhappy. My husband does not think he does not cannot do anything to please him. He does not want to be alone and never wants me to visit or have visitors. I stay at home all the time to attend to children. He is 65 years and have four children. He is a hard working man and he curses me all of the time. My mother and my people have been wonderful and I have anything mean to him or about him, he so curses me all of the time. Where he has anything to do with, I have decided to leave him because I wanted to stay until the children grew large enough to take care of themselves. Worries. I will write on advice. Four children under 5 years of age is heir to the father and the father are absolutely in harmony with each other. Many women feel that a man is better than a man a better man. A man must be a real man before he can be a real father, a man manhood. It must be there to start with. Your husband would be like he is a man, and you would be one of those narrow-minded autocrats who feels that he must rule with an authority. The best remedy for a man like him is for his wife to get work done, and you must depend on him for everything he will treat you as he likes. Let him be a man, and you must force him to contribute to his children. He will turn about and he himself. You can remain with him and do this. Dear Friends: The old mall bag is your most important request. It's up to you. - Princess. WOMEN AND GIRLS REALTOR BE NOT SILENT Meritorious Acts Remain Unknown for Want of Publicity To conform with our promise to make a difference in the lives of children, render the greatest ever; we, began in the first issue of the new year to tell the story of our own lives of woman or girl. Space in each week's issue is devoted to some achievement but our garden must bear in mind that no one is to name a child as a gift. We must present a gift and only those will be published which are a chronicle of activities and experiences. Asking Co-operation Many thinks of an unusually complex and complicated by women and girls of the Race have been called to the attention of those being always in mind to please the great accomplishments of the sex.

Aims for Success It may often be an incentive for a young man to struggle unceasingly to master the eyes of the world are upon her, that the same eyes are watching every moment of her life offered for her intimate success. It is not belittling to declare that each and every moment of her life want a little praise for our efforts or engineer in any field. It does not apply to individual work alone, but sometimes classes and clubs of women are linked together in a meritorious nature to lend their strength to a venture, and the very same classes are being paramount in the mind of an individual often makes her succeed in Look for the Girl Women and girls are doing something very important. You may know about it, so why not let others know. If a young girl graduates from school, it is something unusual. If a woman girl competes in any line of endeavor and carries away a wine ribbon, the company will send her home. Search your home, your neighborhood, your school, your church, in fact, bring to light the doings of your own sex and send them with pictures when you go.

SHORTER HOURS TO WORK WOMEN Women's Bureau Director Gives Labor Data of Great Interest Women's wages are "still too low and reports Miss Mary Anderson, director of the women's bureau of the United States department of labor, said, "the wages still are bad in many mills, and factories," she continues. But on the other hand, she announces that women in factories still are bad in their legal hours of work shortened on Jan. 1. Women in women are in New York state," Miss Anderson said. "They have had their work time shortened by 48 hours, and women in factories, laundries, and mercantile establishments — and women in factories, laundries, and women in the state—may not work more than 48 hours, except that the women in the state—may not work more than nine hours are worked on any day from Monday to Friday and 48 hours are worked on Saturday.

Morton and Robinson (Leroy and Evon) kept the house in full humor the entire 15 minutes they held the downstairs door down St. Joe way, and as we understand it he has been interested in the show business ever since his school days.

Each gag and song was new and their voices were very good. Received a letter from an old friend, Julia Davis. Julia is heading a company of her own and, according to the letter, she is making good. They were very good. They were 13 on the stage and five in the pit. This week they are playing the Globe theater, Dilson, N. C. The writer is confident that the company will succeed. And as Julin, whom we know very well, The Gem theater is having one of the best runs of the season at the present time. Show business is genial, but the show is not the year, but Mr. Shriner, owner and manager of the Gem, believes that with good, first-class offerings there should be no such thing as dull business. Mr. Shriner will enter into this theater each night, we believe so too. Mr. Shriner returned from a month's visit in Iowa a few days ago. Mr. Shriner received word from Mr. Shriner at this moment of the death of his mother, who resided in Los Angeles, Calif. The body is being sent to Fairfax, Iowa, for burial.

Try to be a "standout" musician on your instrument and in your department and you will reap the benefit of being that way in the long run. We need flute players, oboe players, cello players, horn players, bassoon players and first-class violin players. These are the rare instruments in our realm. We have very few who can hit the bullseye. My advice to those who try to play these instruments is to get competent teachers, stay under them, and with hard daily practices you will become efficient and then can be classed in the feature bunch of musicians.

It confirms the argument that music is building the greatest city in the country for our musicians. Most of the musicians, men, highly educated in music and literature This is really gratifying, as in the musicians had a low standard. During the past 15 years that standard has been raised due to the situation has played its part among the melody-makers. On this busy corner are 69 first-class musicians among the five orchestral units working on definite contractual arrangements. In 222 the Metropolitan theater employs 15, the Apollo theater five, the Owl theater employs five and the Savoy ballroom employs two orchestras of 11 players in each orchestra. This is the host of this colorful situation and is proud of her musical bunch. Dangerous Habits Kidding each other, indulging in mon்கelsier chatter and other frivolities of a like nature some times cause hard feeling among musicians and in the end lost friendship. Probably nothing is meant by the kidding in the beginning, but is as a rule carried too far. The best way of all is to be a chatter is to go your idea time trying to learn something more about your art. Another dangerous habit is wine, women and song. Stay out of the night life resorts. It is all right now and then, but going to these places nightly is not a good thing for the health and your future. Those who have been the last time to go for their livelihood are excusable and will testify as to the unsanitary conditions of the rooms, where you can cut the smoke with a knife. If you are working in legitimate places the public will appreciate you more if you continue your activities to that place. I have walked into different areas of the public by the time I was holding fine theater jobs upon the bandstand playing with the orchestra when they should have been home in bed getting their rest so as to give efficient service on their own job the next day. You cannot stay up all night and render this service on your job. You lose your job and then wonder why all happens to the match or ourselves and the gentlemen and try your best to stop these dangerous habits.

As this production is to be a series of surprises it is difficult to present all the details. However, this much is certain: The Inimitable Fess Williams will be the ringmaster, cracking the jaws of his boys can play. In the sawdust ring will be a splendid array of talent including that peer of cerdians, Marshall Rogers, with Dink Stewart assisting in the provocation of laughter, and again demonstrate their versatility, while Johnny Woods and other well-known stars will have some very original offerings. The dainty Regal Stoppers will show some all new and wild characters, both wild and trained of animals, both wild and trained. Dave Peyton and the Regal symphony orchestra will deliver "March Slav" as the overture, one of Tchaikovsky's most famous and best liked compositions. Sammy Williams at the Barton grand organ will have some brand new novelties and some songs for the Regal patrons to sing. The screen offering is "The Noose," with popular Richard Barthelmess heading a notable supporting cast. "The Noose" is tense drama concerning gangster life and run runners. It is counted as one of Broadway's greatest stage plays and is even more sensational as a picture. Richard Barthelmess is the ideal type to portray Nickie Elkins, the buy who so narrowly escapes the gallows, and is also the artist who can best bring to the screen a sincere portrayal of the misguided youth, victim of circumstances and prey of gangsters. LINGOLN PERRY'S LETTER This week finds the Race artists of Los Angeles well represented, not only before the footlights, but also after the firehouse houses. The Criterion, showing "The Patent eLather Kid," with Raymond Turner doing an interesting dance in Lou Channey's latest release, "The City." Channey is supporting this picture with a cathetre scene that supports my first picture in the event after much red carpet cancellation, Mr. Panagans will open his theater next change with the picture that was my first picture in the event, and will be scheduled to open at the Metropolitan theater Dec. 15, and after it was learned that all the acting honors were heaped on Snowden and myself, for some reason it was canceled and "Man, Woman and Sin," starring John Gilbert, was a financial culture was selected. As a matter of fact the reason "Old Kentucky," so far as the West Coast theater was concerned, was because it did not agree to a personal appearance in a Fauconh and Marcos prologue at the price they offered, which itself has a movie contract and the signing of a contract for a prologue might night throw the party concerned in a picture. Of course the most important cancelled. Of course the booking agents did not look at it that way. They came to work for them all the year without any trouble about salary, had big head because I was in pictures, and that a personal appearance and a feature in downtown theater would not downtown theater would add too much to my already achievement. So "Old Kentucky" was forgotten until "Old Kentucky" was shown at the appearance. The "Show Bout" is still in preparation and the latest information is that Charles Ragers has been selected to play in the Dollard's direction. As yet no Race artists have been cast. Universal Studios have arranged an company called Cabin to show, touring the leading theaters, and on account of some discord work has ceased on the picture in which Carolyn Snowden and her, Carolyn Snowden and myself, and positively will not go into shooting until December. The only reason for this is that the director, Stahl, the director general of the firm, wants to direct the picture himself. That throws me in doubt as to whether my contract will be renewed. Henry Starr and Cliff Richie are among the many names mentioned when reading the news from the Coast, including myself and all that I have witnessed and marveled at or omitted and mades of little or no importance mentioned. This we will try to improve on in the future. Because two of these neglected, who can be seen always in their limousines, who can be seen in the car or to coming from an engagement, who can be heard most any time over the radio and who are indeed recognized as the best, two most melodious boys in the West, are no other than Henry Cliff, pianist and songwriter, whose "Sweet-Slinging Cliff" The Lincoln theater has announced that all who want to see Bilo Sam Russell of the Doc Stratine Chocolate Company, March 15 because after then the policy of the house will be strictly vaudeville and pictures. All the local papers speak very highly of the company, which has been giving, and to my opinion I think Mr.Kramer in the near future will be asked to produce another. Bilo, Lonnie or some comrade of the Doc Stratine Chocolate Company, surrounded by a cast such as Doc Stratine's Chocolate Scandals, because our people are always asking for the Doc Stratine Chocolate Company to think they want. Doc has not announced anything definitely, but the gang keeps cracking about State St. and other ample places for them. The California for a husband, so I guess she'll have to choose California. FAWCETT'S MUSTACHE TO GO Hollywood.—George Fawcett, veteran actor, is doubly happy now that "Tempest" the new John Barrymore piece has practically completed after more than four months of camera activity. One reason is that his role in the Barrymore feature, which is laid in modern Russia, affords him the opportunity to work with studio executives will win Fawcett new laurels. The other reason is that he can shave off the "handle bar" type of mustache which has been a trademark of some of Fawcett's closest friends failed to recognize him when he passed them on the street, and the lovable old screen artist avers that, much as he liked the role in "Tempest," will be elated to again be himself. --- --- STAGE Chicago Theatrical News Ed Daly and his "Rarin' to Go" show opened at the Grand剧院 Monday, March 12 to a packed house.

LINWOOD'S LETTER Columbus, Ohio. — Dear Friend Dave: Since 1916 Butter Beans and Susie have held the record with their drawing power for a single day's performance at the Koppi theater, Detroit, Mich. All books and records were searched and it was found that the Whitmans and their gang had broken all previous records. Now the Whitmans and their gang have such records as this have been broken by the gang since the opening of the season. March 5, Detroit had what was known as the greatest contest of dancers ever staged west of New York. Dances from all parts of the city assembled in the stone ballroom and were accustomed to the best dancer of the state. The affair was staged by E. E. Dudley, one of the most wide-awake amusement programs in Detroit, the manager of the Koppi theater. O. Harvey entertained the members of the gang at his club in Detroit. The group included Easie Whitman, Alice Whitman, Miss Bernice Ellis, Miss Ellis is holding the spot held by Minto Cato and a few other members. Other members present were Boots Bryant, Joe Oliver, Rust Wright, Lillian Steptoe, Ernest Smith, Paulyton, R. Gregory, Sahnelh Robertson, William Johnson, Willie Toewsweet, Alma Travis and Sterling Payne. Green, formerly with the team of Green and Price, would like to have the performers playing Detroit pay him a visit. Clean and funny, the two doors from the Koonin theater. Columbus, Ohio We opened at the Pythian theater Monday, March 4, and were greeted by a large crowd after-going public of Columbia is always glad to have the gang among them and proves it by their attendance and behavior at the Pythian theater and one can always be sure of a quiet and pleasant evening when visiting this house. Manager Eger is always door with an extended hand for all. In a talk with the writer Mr. Eger said that he had not had the opportunity to person since the opening of the theater, and this person was an ofay, which says a lot for the faucet pairs and this person is the find Miss Hattle Unphrey, and we must not forget two dainty little ushers, Miss Eobby Curtis and Miss Mary Miller, who say that you obtain good seats to see that you obtain good seats, Bally Jackson, assistant house manager; James Conley, stage manager; Miller, assistant, and Arnette Miller. Ethel Waters' "Miriam" left Columbus for Chicago Monday, March 4. Irvin C. Miller's *Carolina Nights* in Columbus Ohio, March 3. The number of the company motorized to New York. People carrying a show should, for the benefit of the show, break up all syndicates, for they cause nothing but trouble. You can be well as the show, a bad name. Folks, when you go to theaters, go there with your mind on your work and forget to forget. When you leave your hotel, be chorus girl, prima donna, stage manager, straight man, comedian, musician, or orchestra leader, leave all personal feelings in the lobby or your room. If ever you are given a position that puts you over a group of people and one gets to the point where he can prove, not red of this person in the right way by giving a two weeks' notice. Don't make things miserable for them in order to make them give up and prove, not only making a bad name for yourself. They will no doubt tell everybody about you and this will probably keep good people from getting a good job. They will no doubt do too many cuties and shekls among us. Leo Mosely received your copies of "Gilded Kisses" and it is being rehearsed with chorus. The gang is at the Palace theater, Dayton, Ohio.

MENT TIMELY TOPICS By SALEM TU Again Mr. Lewis Tau A few weeks ago, in an article en- prove to one Mr. Lewis, theatrical cri- actor was not entirely responsible for Again Mr. Lewis Takes His Pen in Hand A few weeks ago, in an article entitled, "Not Guilty," we made effort to prove to one Mr. Lewis, the theatrical critic and magazine writer, that the Race actor was not entirely responsible for the vulgarity, nudeness and profanity too frequently greets the patrons of our theaters. Mr. Lewis not only sticks to his argument, but goes on to say that not until such showmen as Whitney and Martin exterminated will the Exorcist reach a cultural tone in harmony with Mr. Lewis' refined sensibilities. In the language of one William Shakespeare, "that we will most anxiously use out of all without foundation and when we reserved. No one can reach a cultural tone in harmony with Mr. Lewis' refined sensibilities. No one has ever heard me use profanity on or off stage. No matter what Mr. Lewis may think the Exorcist may be, we certain do not will show evidence that Whitney and Tutt have always consistently tried to uplift the standard of Race show business. We are confident that the public will vouch for these statements. An intelligent discussion of so vital a question, situation or problem, as the Negro actor and the stage, should be productive of some good results. Not guilty to Mr. Lewis' bitter denunciation of the Negro actor's Defect. I eagerly anticipated his reply. I sincerely hoped that he would score some good points in favor of his argument. Truthfully, I am disappointed. As a member of my company not after reading Mr. Lewis' reply: "Mr. Lewis replied, he did not say anything." tion of the Negri city, "The Negri actor's difficult, "Sincerely hoped that he would argument. Truthfully, I am disappeared put it after reading Mr. Lewis's not say anything." "I will be to secure my good lost his powers of discernment, sell partisan that he is no longer eligible verdict.

If the of these of us are the roles who at the end of the event to prove with his subject, nor is he intimately and accomplishments of some of the the men. When Mr. Lewis speaks of the is being done by Race actors upon stage was degenerate at its incl and intelligence to recommend it. It will end the progress that ning and the innumerable handicap raising the standard of the Race Acts cannot be laughed or ridic tions to be only to to our theaters to more than 400. the best white theaters. The cliented Many who formerly scored a Race Managers and actors will not be sl ing from the stage. What Mr. Lewis thinks of me as what Mr. Lewis has to say of my have contributed to the stage demand for the benefit of the project. Mr. Lewis writes: "An actor will be exactly what Whitney and Tutti have career. We put out show after show because we wished to exploit our the role of the project. We will the theaters to mixed audiences from N.Y. the Lexington theater, New York city (Continue) Where to Buy O I am compelled to score my good friend Romeo. Either he is biased, has lost his powers of discernment selling his papers or is so enthusiastic partisan that he is no longer eligible to sit upon a jury and render a just judgment. I am not a judge, and I fail to catch even a reflection from the brilliancy of his reply. The work of Whitney and Tutt in past years and up to the present time bears record that we have always stood for the highest and best that the Negro stage could produce. We do not favor indecency of any sort by any actor appearing upon any stage. We reiterate that the actor alone is the most important day-day condition. Any manager reserves the right to cancel an uncleasant act or performance at a moment's notice. If the things said and done upon the stage, which Mr. Lewis scores so indignantly, were not sanctioned by the managers they could not be said and done. If salaciousness, nudity and double-entendre were not allowed, the actors would not allow the actors to indulge this form of entertainment. Our playwright and producers include some of these features in their shows because they are desired by the managers and the majority of the theatergoers. It is as plain as the nonday sun in a cloudless sky. The evidence is irreputable. The actors are not the ones who books those of us on the road who attempt to evade the popular demand. I am going to attempt to prove that Mr. Lewis is not entirely familiar with his subject, nor is he intimately acquainted with the characters, ideals and accomplishments of some of the actors whom he makes derogatory mention. Mr. Lewis speaks of the Negro stage, I presume he refers to what is being done by Race actors upon the stages of Race theaters. The Negro stage was degenerate at its inclination. Starting with nothing of culture and intelligence to recommend it, it could hardly deteriorate. Instead, the wind of its progress has been steadily upward. Despite the lowly beginnings and challenges of the actors, producers and actors are raising the standard of the Race theaters. Facts cannot be laughed or ridiculed away. From two or three honeykonks, frequented only by honky tonkers, we have increased the number of our theaters to more than 400. Some of these compare favorably with the many theaters in New York, but many who formerly scorned a Race theater are now frequent attenders. Managers and actors will not be slow to meet the demands of this class of patrons. What Mr. Lewis thinks of me as an individual is of small moment. But what Mr. Lewis has to say of my work upon the stage or rather what I am doing there, he says, "I am not a performer. Mr. Lewis writes: "An actor with a following can capitalize his ability for the benefit of his ideals. He can demand increased salary or box office percentages until he becomes substantial enough to produce his own." That is exactly what Whitney and Tutt have done the greater part of their show career. We put out show after show, ignoring the offers of white producers who are not interested in our work. We have shown a clean, wholesome entertainment. Our shows are presented in white theaters to mixed audiences from New York to New Orleans. We played the Lexington theater, New York city, and received a favorable mention. We Where to Buy OKeh Race Records 234 Bondo St....St. Paul, Minn.

At Daytona Mount, Bethune welcomed us to the Bethune-Cookman college and Major Pope sure did McKinsey and Thomas made things great at Ormond. At Leesburg Shorty Brown and my old pal, Den.

Galthe entertained the boys royal and at Brunswick Dr. R. N. Jackson gave us entertainment with the capital E. and in Savannah I met several of my old-time friends of the show game. The first one was Jim Green, "Old Snake; then Billy ("Poorboy") Cross. Uncle George, J. L. Lee and several others that I cannot remember. Called on Prof. George Williams, band leader, who sure is at home living there. He gave me some real solos for my boys. While in Savannah we were on the program with the Silver Tone quintet at the city auditorium, and the boys showed up well. On our way driving back we saw a show car at Kings. Stopping, we found out it was the new A. G. Allen's minstrels. We stopped for a brief chat with Kid and Edna Talley. They both were looking at the picture of health. By the time this is on the press the old man will be up the line a little farther, as I have resigned at Claflin to take up the white top work again and will start at once getting the hand in shape for the John Robinson circus. Expect to have a hunch this season. Some of the gang that will be on hand are Shelton Sainey, hot trumpet; Frank Sloan, some reed man; P. Reamey, clarinet and sax; A. V. Bass, Sousaphone; Charles Lockett, trombone; Duke Davis, alto and comedian; Sam ("Sweetboy") Short, bass drum and comedian; Buster Rideout, snare drum and traps, and of course the old man will be in there somewhere.

NEW BARRYMORE FILM Hollywood.—When the cameras cease grinding in a big motion picture, the best is the impetus. John Barrymore is one of the United Artists, many more weeks' work is required before the film may be shown, cutting and editing the hundreds of thousands of feet of film down to the few thousand feet which make up the length of the film. Task practice as important as the actual shooting of the scenes. Temple is which with the exception of the director, now the only person in the hands of the cutters, represents approximately 400,000 feet of film and when finally edited will be less than Supervisor John W. Considine J.D. Director Sam Taylor and his staff have made the preliminary cuts in the latest Barrymore picture, which is now on Curtis-Hoffman in Russia. "Tempset" is the famous star's biggest and costliest production and is scheduled for release in the portitions outstanding 1928 specials. The supporting cast is made up of internationally known screen players, including the European star: Louis Wolfe, George Fawcett, Ulrich Hauri, Boris Albert, and hundreds of others. Charles Rosher headed the camera months after the four months of shooting, and Wiliam Cameron Menzes designed the sets. Alice Jackson wants to hear from her sister Mary Kine.

As to the influence of our Smarter Set shows, Dr. Lester, dean at Neharry university, said the Smarter Set shows had done more to inspire the youthful and the more of the people who are the people of the country. In 17th, the book of the great theatrical book, the show of the middle West, to New York to get their season's booking, those from the middle West and South rated as as one of the three biggest attractions. Bengal High School. All the books are the most popular book in the United States. A delegation of students from the Johns Hopkins university of Baltimore witnessed a performance of our "Children of the Sun". Afterwards they were given the机会 to explain the show was "delightfully surprising entertainment, but it was the most important to show the show of the young. Mr. Wels Parker, scholar, etimologist and archaeologist, supplied the historical data for "Our Children of the Sun", which in the opinion of Dr. B. Wiekham and hundreds of others was ten years in advance of the times. We have never presented a show or a tabloid without introducing a different, if not an original comedy situation. We laid the scenes for our story in the new show, and the show was the first to present new dances and comedy situations. We emphatically deny that we have contributed in any way as Mr. Lewis terms it, to the demoralization of the show. The work of the school was not only for the data. Mr. Lewis says that I doubt the actor's ability because I ask: "When did ever the actor force the public to accept a form of entertainment it did not desire?" an atti tasking the question. Mr. Lewis presented the book as an argument to the group. "I am all the more to create a following does it." The statement is absurd. Rather the actors divines or accidentally stumbles upon something the public really likes. The story is not very likely to be a big-game, a show business. Neither actors' managers care to gamble with the content and no matter how forcibly it may appeal to them. If they feel that it will not prove acceptable to the public. They know from experience that if the story is not the right one we are the idea of forcing people to pay, we see something, they do not like is ridiculous. To clinch his argument Mr. Lewis says: "For example, a certain actor used in the game, a big bit by leading a trained mule on the stage. Did the actor go on a position to help the public build a good demeaning of the act, or did he think it up himself and spring it on his audience as a big surprise and make them like it?". Mr. Lewis's information was S. H. Dudley who made such a tremendous hand with his time in the mule. Mr. Dudley was one of our three best comedians—Earnest Hogan, Bert Williams and S. H. Dudley. His comedy was of that spontaneous, effervescent variety that tickled the same way as him. He was a serious man, and he was so high degree. Yet, Mr. Dudley did not for his mule upon the public. He, a showman enough to know that a trained mule, like a trained monkey, always makes a humorous appeal to an audience. Mr. Lewis, who had been the one who had he should be a copy-cat a plagiarist. An actor should always be studying, inventing and presenting something new or different to entertain his audience. But when an actor has a new idea and presents it, if it does not hit he cannot force the action to make it so good, he has to be a man who has never possible to force the public to accept what it does not want in the theatrical line, the worry of promoters, managers, playwrights and actors would be at an end. Then, he would be no more Broadway flops. The Jolisons, the "Bones" and "Bones" are not so concerned about the vehicles in which they are booked to appear. Mr. Dudley was a comedian with a large and enthusiastic following, but he never pointed to force the public to accept him in a serious dramatic role. Bert Williams is the leader of the show. He has a long history of role but, said he, "The people want me to make them laugh, they wouldn't accept me in a dramatic role." Mr. Lewis, who has been the most�, this moment I can only think of one actor and one actress who have anything distinctive to offer." Mark well, he did not say who is offering anything distinctive, but who has anything distinctive to offer. Mr. Lewis does not know all the actors nor all the actresses who have the power to be the only actors who are the most. What has something stored away in his brain, something he would like to do. But when he suggests it to the managers too often they tell him the public wants to see you do so-and-so, sing the song that made you popular, etc., he is going to get the cost of encounters to force the producers and the manager to take the change with a little time. He says: "Whint Dodo Green did last week. Emmett Anthony is doing a weekend and Slim Henderson will do next week. Week after week brings a new round of the new group's support to the theater." The comedians whose names he mentioned are not mediocre actors. Each one enjoys the Broadway stamp of approval. They may at times give a mediocre performance but they are unable of the best. We will be the best of the show. We will be the best of the theaters are crowded to see the shows. Dodo Green has at least three books that he has tried again and again to secure the financial backing for the promotion. Mr. Lewis says. I lack patriotism and distrust my people because I said: "If we attempted to enact a portrayal of Toussaint L'Overture we would most likely have to make the great patriot do the black bottom to put him into the work of the show. And he's a great man. We know the two negroes are a lack of fools." It means no such thing. I was not referring to the race in general, but to the majority of those who attend our theaters who would know little or nothing of Toussaint L'Overture or his history. I am not the most likely one of the most likely people who would know Kelly Miller in our "Darkest Americans" show; he was truthfully portrayed as a scholar and a thinker, yet we were amazed to find how many persons who saw the show had never heard of the great scholarly chillers. In the case of the show, he was very significantly�erally criticized by one of our leading critics for introducing the character. I know from sad experience and loss of money that a show cannot depend upon our thinkers, scholars and aristocrats for its support, so managers are more aware of their role in the show. I am not the most likely one of the most likely people who are working to appreciate a higher form of entertainment. About 15 years ago we introduced an animated moving picture section in one of our shows called "The Lover," and the other, the athletic content of audience crafted with laughter. Chus. E. Burton, then with the Columbia Burlesque wheel, said: "Salom, you will have to cut that scene, it will not be appreciated by enough of your people." It was the most important event to see the series are source of education and our theatre patrons are profited thereby. Mr. Lewis must remember that New York is just a one week stand. When we build a show to cover the circuit, we must build to please the new show. It is a good one of the new New York city. Here is another phase of Race show business that Mr. Lewis has permeated theaters. White promoters and managers have theaters for certain classes or kinds of entertainments and each of these theaters has its clientele. We have theaters like theaters of the same with those like vaudeville, funny comedy, musical comedy or grand opera. We have but one theater in most of the cities and we are compelled to please all who all attend, no matter how different their tastes. Mr. Lewis takes his pen in hand and writes thusly: "So long as men like Mr. Whitney comprise the main personnel of our stage—and I say they are not the only ones who are acquainted with the general progress of the Race." Doubless Mr. Lewis is sincere, but he cannot be familiar with my work nor is he acquainted with my ideals. We have our amount of our courage, our affordances and our resources the good will of the majority of all classes. "Our stage," says Mr. Lewis, "needs new blood, new ideas, new ideals and new men and women. It needs new actors with courage enough to break the rules of the audience. It needs a show technique of the Uncle Tom who have dominated it for 20 years." By all means let us have new ideas, new blood and new ideals. But does women in the theatrical game as at the present time. Only one of the old line producers is now active. Whatever the conditions are at the present time, the new blood of which Mr. Lewis speaks, must take the greatest Looking over some of the productions of the new blood, I have wondered from what source they dug up some of the material that the old blood has been made from. I don't know if the old blood can be matched by the wisdom, experience and equanimity of age. I can't conceive that youth can be better qualified to write of the many complex emotions that people experience. Because a man may be old, counting the number of years he has lived, it does not necessarily mean that he cannot be mentally young. Again, one may be in point of service, and yet mentally and physically young, and yet can pull our fingers at Mr. Lewis and laugh in the face of father time. Sehk!

The show is now routed East and will probably go on Broadway shortly for a run in New York. He played in played Chicago eight times this season. Billy Jones, the popular singer, is down in Palm Beach, Fla., introduces Billy to Palm Beach. Billy will leave Palm Beach for Jacksonville, Fla., either March 16 or 22, and will plug some new numbers in. He will give a big hit in his planagogue, possession a wonderful dramatic bartone voice of great tanger and sweetness. Many of his songs will give this singer a big welcome when he returns to the big city. He made a big hit in the prolonged season in London, and have booked return dates in cabarres and at the Rose and the Empress rooms for next week. Many copies of the new number, Gilded Kisses, has since been sent to the Broadway theater, and the song is to be broadcast and introduced extensively in New York. Miss Albany Jones, phonograph artist, will be performing at the New York concert, Miss Mary Wilson, who has made a reputation in her line at Palm Beach, Florida, and will walk at the Pointe Hotel, will teach about March 24, and probably will be featured in a Broadway production. Miss Albany Jones will be associated, assisted by the Four Composers Ivy Anderson and Four Emperors of Music, opened at the Tivoli theater, and assisted by the Four Composers. According to reports the Black Bottom Folies are scoring a big success. They are en route to Jamaica, where they will perform in New Orleans to follow.

NORMA TALMADGE TALKS Troussers for women will never become popular despite the efforts of many designers, nine fashion, to make them so. It is my opinion that women will never be able to dress in skirts for the dull dumonty trousers. Women are unbeautiful, no matter what may be said of their greater convenience, and women as a rule will not reinishquish their present apparel for the mere sake of utility. In France during my recent visit to Paris, I saw the favor of the bifurcated trousers for sport and seaside wear. In a fast game of tennis, in golfing and hikking, I saw the movement of movement, but once these sports are over the thoroughly feminine ruffles and laces get back into her ruffles and her laces. It is worthy of note that well-designed blouses, blouses with blazer innovation strictly alone, not because they shun the trousers as immodest, but because their adoption is greatest possible quality—charm.

COAST DOPE BY BUDDY BROWN San Francisco, Cal.—The old "Coast Dope" serge has been on the sick list for years, and will try to keep up the column from now on. The illness was not so much physical—rather a mental illness—but personal matters that need not be mentioned. Now that we (Johnson Giles) have been able to gelces once more, we find improvement in our mental condition. We had a nice "break" in southern California; we had six weeks spent there. Found a good many of the tribe out of work because of poor as they could be, but everyone has for the future when spring opens up in full. Doc Straine and bunch are closing in on going to work, just what the future policy of the house will be, but I heard that someone will buy that company and local talent would be the best bet for the Lincoln. Most of suggestion I would say that some one like Carolyn Snowden, Lincoln Perry, Frisie Nick, Tommy Harris and several others who have harris and nightly. Only a suggestion. Good luck to Doc Straine and company. They have made history in West. Uke Rob Williams is doing his stuff in and around I. A. and getting along fine. Bert Chadwick blew into town just before we left, looking the pleasures of health, and is holding contracts to open on the Pan time very soon. The Fucker, his daughter, going to take a company to make into one of the finest theaters in the West for a run of six months, the theater in question being the Carthay Circle, very exclusive and never before playing a Race aggregation.

Monday—We are here by invitation of the Cuyahoga lodge of Elks, who are the citizens committee in jiving with the city this city the annual Willberforce-West Virginia football game on next Thanksgiving day. The club committee that plotted me around is working, it looks to us like the game is almost cinched for this town and this is the best town so far that we have laid our hands on to handle a game of its kind. They can house, feed and entertain. The feeding problem has been a problem at the Lincoln-Howard game and we are a spacious dining room and a theater that can feed any kind of a crowd. In fact, we haven't anything like it Columbus and metaphor has Detroit. When we saw the hotels and the Phyllis Wheatley Y we were sold on Cleveland. We convince us further that they had the ups and everybody else, we were apprised of the fact that the chamber of commerce. Dan Hanna Jr., who is the grandson of the famous Mark Hanna, and the great Dan Hanna, the state senator, the United States senator and a group of white business men will work in conjunction with the Elks and citizens committee and no counter attraction in the town. The game will be played here that day. All other cities will have to go some to beat Cleveland out. WENDELL PHILLIPS came with a North Point, lightweight championship. Thousands of people were disappointed in not being able to see the game. The officiating, according to our reporter who covered the game, was excellent.

Get out and make enough points to the other fellow can't catch you and can win any --- --- ONE thing that surprises us is the way that Tuskegee and Hampton are working on their relay games when they go to outdo their first attempt of last year and Hampton each year is finding new schools listed in all --- RODENT S. ABBOTT, owner and publisher of The Chicago Defender, announces that he will give the mile relay at Hampton. This trophy supplains the former one given for the 440-yard run. The trophy is the first of the school winning it three times. Lincoln will put in a strong bid for it this year, while Chas, Williams, and the other players are anxious that his team win it, lus-much as Mr. Abbott is a graduate of Hampton and president of the national Hampton alumni association.

AND the eastern papers have gone on record against school and college elevers by playing professional teams. The Baltimore Afro-American are making strong lights against the practice. Both papers are to be combined with a sport editors with such a vision. --- A WEBK ago the Wilberforce university five was scheduled to play the Ritz club in Pittsburgh, but when the folks turned out they found an audience and Wilberforce not putting in an appearance. Tonight Wilberforce disappointed a packed house at the Elks club by cancelling a game with the Cleveland Elks at the state side. Somebody needs to show a little house-cleaning at Wilberforce. In the first place the whole system is wrong. The athletic council should be abolished and a new one formed. The university member from the state side and one from the church side. The chairman of the body should be the athletic director of the school. Unable to get into Wilberforce is not going to get anywhere by accepting contracts and not carrying them out. In the first place, they are going to run into a lawsuit, and in the second place, they lose office in the school and the college teams will soon play to equity hills. CIRCUS GIANTS Portsmouth, Ohio.

Harris graduated from the amateur class and has been making rapid strides.

He should have little trouble in stopping any opponent that Abel picks for him across the pond. M'VEY WINSEASILY OVER FRANK KEARNS Syrueac, N. Y., March 10—Frank Kearns is looked upon as quite a hard guy by the folks over in Uttica, but in the Arena ring with dusky Jack Kearns, he looked mild as pink tea. Jack spent a delightful half hour cuffing Frankie about, accepted the judges' decision with a yawn and caught the rattler back to Harlem where men occasionally met. As a match it was a fleep—the only bad spot on the card. McVey, who rights "behind his hands," gave a brilliant exhibition of offensive and offensive boxing at such intervals as he played. Kearns, his body painted red by trumping lefts and rights, ran away from start to finish, but then he didn't know anything else to do about HUFF SIGNS KIDNEY AS DAYTON COACH Dayton, Ohio, March 15—John Henry Franklin, known to baseball as Kidney, came to agreement with Eddie Huff, manager of Dayton Independents to serve as base coach country.

March 12.—Cleveland wants the annual Turkey day football game between Wilberforce University and the West Virginia Institute elevens, and Cleveland is going out in a manner that almost makes sure that the 1928 classic will be played there. Armed with a letter from Dan Hanna Jr., grandson of the late Mark Hanna of Republican fame, and will promote the county representatives in the Ohio state legislature, plus that of the mayor, city prosecutor and the United States senator, the committee of Congress, among other committees of citizens, among whom are Dr. LeRoy Bundy, Sid Thompson, Attorney Tom Fleming, A. E. Wynne, Editor Harry Smith, Attorney Norman Ghee, Ralph Hawkins and others, both qualified and shown to Charles Mitchell, Dan Fugerson and other members of the institute staff just what Cleveland can do in the way of hindering the game. Coach Dick Bentley, a couple of weeks ago, but Charles Points failed to put in an appearance. It is expected that a conference with President Jones of Wilberforce, Massachusetts, at Wilberforce and President Davis of Institute will take place some time in April if not before. It will be about ready for the two schools to sign the contract and the game is assured. The Chamber of Commerce of this city is heartily in accord with the state law, because there is no attraction on Thanksgiving day in this city, the high school season ending the Saturday morning. The committees here point out that in Columbus there is a high school game held in the morning and a Chick Harley day in the afternoon. More, because in Columbus hasn't been what it should be because the social activities take Columbus folks away from the bus has really exceeded six thousand, Cleveland can put eight thousand or better in Luna park, the Indiana park, or the new proposed municipal place they decide to play the game. The dining room of the Elks' Rest can accommodate and feed more people alone than all Columbus can, say that in addition to this place there are the Majestic and other hotels and the Y. W. C. A. Already rates have been granted by railroads out of the W. Y. C. A. Already the Elks and the citizens' committee plan on holding a gala reception and dance at the city auditorium which will surpass anything later given in Washington following the game there at the Convention hall. The Elks point out that Cleveland can overhandle the game, take care of the crowds and feed the same, and that in addition both the Republican convention and the Elks' convention.

Chicago Derender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY CHICAGO HIGH SCHOOL LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPS THE WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL CAGE SQUAD SOUTHERN SPORTDOM By Eric Roberts WE have been patiently waiting for FIRST TEAM Fisk to play four more games in order to receive conference consideration in the presentation of the conference championship. Things are all gumped up right now, and three teams have a good claim to first honors. The southern conference employs the Dickinson rating system in selecting conference champs. On the face of records, Fisk has the best claim with seven victories and one defeat. But the conference requires a minimum of 12 conference games to be considered a team's winner in preparation. Brown holds a good claim in defeating Clark twice during the season. Clark has played 12 games and has won 10 wins, while Brown has won 11 who, according to conference methods, Clark would be the logical winner despite the two defests suffered in the first round according to the Dickinson rating system the teams are standing like this: Incidentally Morehouse, who defeated Morris Brown once during the year, has a better record than the team with six wins and three defeats. So it would be hard to name any certain team as champs, although Clark has the best of the affair in so far as record is considered. Three Morris Brown, but it seems rather absurd to place the conquerors of the Clark Panther away down in fourth place. The only thing that matters is the partnership is the negative amount of games that the gold and blue team has played. Clark's claim to the baton is lessened by the bitter rating of Lyle and his purple cohorts. So we are content to keep out of this championship affair and let the conference officials determine that at their next championships if the situation remains as it now appears. The only thing that can change the entire order of affairs is the possibility that Flek Morris Brown should win five straight games, she would still have a record inferior in wins and losses to those of Clark and Fisk. According to regular rating, the conference finished the season standing like this: Fisk 7 1 .875 Clark 10 2 .833 Morhouse 6 3 .667 Morrow Brown 6 3 .667 Tuskegee 5 3 .500 Alabama 4 5 .444 Tennessee 2 4 .400 Atlanta 1 6 .143 Tampa 1 6 .143 Knoxville 0 4 .000 THE end of the cage season finds a number of the coaches attempting to name their mythical all-southern team.

Guard Now after you have finished throwing your bricks we will attempt to throw them into the basket. Calbert alone is the one man who by his absence caused Morris Brown to overheat Clark. Had Calbert stay, the game would be a lot worse. The man is good enough to be the difference between two first rate teams, he is good enough for any mythical basketball player. In two years he has outhumped him, and he is absolutely one of the best guards we have ever seen. The other men speak for themselves. Hazard and Calbert are the most spectacular basket silhouettes of the season, but his floor work was not quite as good as that of some of the other players. The man to hit his stride at the close of the season. Had he maintained this spurt all the year he would have been sure of a first position. Hopson and Anderson are the best forwards of the season. ROBERTS and Bradley as a unit are hard to beat. Roberts shoots from most any position he may play, and he is the best loop basket ringer in the South, but his floor work is nothing to brag about. We accepted second-banded opinion in naming Yost at the ball in handling the ball and working the floor. Beck when in form is very pleasing to look on. His floor work is beautiful and his ability to pivot is spectacular. He usually catches a ball turning away from the opposing player. This is a very hard position, but without deliberate fouling, Sapp has been the backbone of Morehouse's defense. The basketball season is all over, we weaken our attention from the court to the ball diamond. Clark opens the season today with a game at Morehouse.

KELLUM With their short pass attack working perfectly under the basket, Wendell Phillips lightweight basketball team of the South-Central section flag, fought its way to the championship of the College Public High School league. Saved by Harrison Harrison by playing Harrison Tech, 33 to 10. at Crane gymnasium, Oakley Blvd. and W. Valley Blvd. before a crowd which was limited to 1,700 by the local drive seats in the STEM. ```markdown ``` It was the first time in five years that the Southsiders had won a basketball championship and was the first time in twice as many years that the school had gained undisputed possession of the city cage pony title. Displaying the same whirlwind passing and accurate shooting that brought them through the Central section league race with but one defeat and through the semifinals with no losses, the Phillips aggregation was complete master of the situation three-fourths of the contest. The score might have been 43 to 10 had the 39th St. lads elected to make as many points as possible, but Coach Norman J. Harris was satisfied to keep a few baskets out in front. He instructed his players to protect their advantage by holding the ball. This they did in grand style. Experts who saw the championship games easily agreed that the Phillips team had given the finest demonstration of team precision and smooth play that has been witnessed in the league this season, heavyweight division included. Phillips entered the game a slight favor by virtue of its enviable record of 39 points, two aggregate count of 82 points against 38 for an average of better than 27 points per game. They won seven out of eight league games and won 16 of 22 games with clean slates. But Harrison's record was almost as good. The far West side quintet, in its third game, included the two playoff games in the tie, scored a total of 94 points to 68 by opponents. This gave Harrison Harrison had beaten Medellín to 16, and trimmed Roosevelt, last year's titleholders, 21 to 14, for the win. Outside of the first seven minutes of play, Phillips held sway throughout. Only once was the count knotted and that was 15 seconds before the run needed for the end of the first quarter. Phillips started the scoring one minute and 40 seconds after the ball received a poke from center. Phillips received a poke from center from the sidelines. This was the only shot during the game. Pullins followed a few seconds later and then South side cheering section was wild with joy, but soon calmed down when Chichele and Uhler scored from under the basket. The basket from center next play Pullins received the ball and tossed it to Carey. A poke, Carey to Harper, was good for a basket. A ringer by Carey put Phillips on the long end of a 12 to 6 score at the intermission. Phillips started the third quarter by driving out of defensive formation and per and Carey succeeded in tossing in a ringer each. The best Harrison could do was to score one point, which was trailing at the third period 16 to 8. Phillips continued its stalling game in the last perfect opportunity they held the ball in front of the opposing team of position, and then Carey and Harper would make a swift rush to the end zone, and Coach Harris before the final gum barked. Coach Harris sent in his entire second team, but even these youngsters coach for a fighting Harrison quintet. While Harrison was centering its attack on Captain Pullins, Henry Harper and Theodore Carey were "getting away" under the basket. These two ladies topped Phillips' scoring, four rouser each. Pullins entered the locker room and Lawson Miller, lanky center, was responsible for the first basket.

News of Bolden's re-election came early, and the announcement that Hildale no longer is a member of the Eastern Colored league. Bolden succeeds Charles Freeman as president of the club. When Freeman resigned, the entire cabinet of officers retired with him. Although Bolden will act as president and run the business affairs of the club, he is named vice president and manager. Mayo will have charge of the club on the ball field, following the same rules as the men employed during his 18 years as manager. He replaces Bill Francis. Mayo was with Hildale back in 1941 when he was known as one of the first basemen in Colored baseball. While the re-election of Bolden was looked for, Hilldale's resignation from the Eastern Colored league was in his surprise. The fact that Brooklyn Royal Giants have quit the league and Harrisburg Giants are now defunct had something to do with Hilldale's action.
