GRAND OPERA AT THE STADIUM Opens Next Wednesday Evening for Eight Consecutive Nights—The New "Negro" Opera, "Tom- Tom", a Feature. Thousands of visitors from all over Ohio will be in the city for the week-end performances of grand opera at the stadium and over fourth of July. Elsewhere in The Gazette it will be seen that each of the four grand operas will be presented twice and on a grander scale than has ever been seen anywhere in this country or abroad. The great soprano, Mary Garden, will sing the title role of Carmen and another great attraction, "Tom-Tom," the new "Negro" opera which will be given for the first time anywhere. The great Wagnerian favorite, "Valkyrie," also with an exceptional cast with its famous "Magic Fire Spell" and "Hide of the Valkyries," will make new grand opera history on the stadium's mammoth stage of 50,000 square feet. Camels and elephants will be seen in "Valkyrie," "Alda" and "TomTom." An amplification system has been installed and will mark an experience in sound transmission, installed. So all of the great audiences of 29,000, each evening, will hear perfectly the grand operas. There is a long list of great stars in addition to Mary Garden, Elsa Alsen, Jules Bledsoe and Fred Patton. Seats can be purchased at prices ranging from 25 cents to $2. Do not fall to see and hear all of the operas you can. It will be not only a treat but a musical education in part.

CLEVELAND'S YOUNG POET AND NOVELIST. M. BENNETT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN. LAST HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS. LANGSTON HUGHES SAYS "The Communist Party is the Only Party Fighting for Negro Rights" —To Visit Germany and Soviet Russia. New York City. — Langston Hughes, Cleveland, Ohio, novelist and poet, author of "The Weary Blues," "Fine Clothes to the Jew," "Not Without Laughter," etc., on the eve of his recent departure for Germany and the Soviet Union (Russia), said: "The hysterical fear of Communism displayed by whites is born of the fact that they fear it will awaken the Negro and lead him to take active steps to better his condition and thus upset the present economic regime with its great riches on one hand and great poverty on the other. He declared, 'The poet them pointed out that those Negroes who pretend to honor Nat Turner and John Brown and at the same time tell the people they must not fight for their rights at present are adding the oppressors rather than fighting them." "Negro leaders, who depend on rich philanthropists for their well-being, and who advise Negro workers to remain docile under the terrible weight of poverty, and to vote against them, will betraying the entire race by this policy. If the Communists do not awaken the Negroes, who will? Certainly not those race leaders whose jobs depend on white philanthropists and who preach 'be nice and keep quiet.' I give my support to the platform of the Communist party candidates because it is the only party that has a chance to win since the days of John Brown has there been a movement which really challenged the system more effectively than the Communist party." WALTER COHEN'S NIECE Assembling Creole Folk Songs—Receives a Master's Degree in Music from Oberlin Conservatory Oberlin, O. Camille L. Nickerson, instructor of music in the school of Music of Howard University, Washington, D. C., gave her graduate-ing recital in Oberlin Con- s yrery of Music, last week Mon- dernoy. Holder of a Rosenwald Fellowship for the study of music, this year, Miss Nickerson spent the year here and received a master of music degree, June 21. A native of New Orleans and of Missouri, Nickerson is especially interested in t he Creole folk music. She did notable work in this field for her master's thesis, arranging a number of tunes for performance. She has a Mus. B. degree from Oberlin Conservatory and is a member of Pkappa Lambda, national honorary music fraternity. She is a member of National Association of Musicians. Miss Nickerson is a niece of the Hon. Walter L. Cohen, Republican leader of Louisiana for years and until his death, last year. MINERS STOP A LYNCHING? Bridgeport, O.—Alex Dorsey, a miner of color, was taken from gangsters by colored and white miners, June 13. Dorsey, an organiser for the National Miners' Union and a member of its executive board, was speaking to a group of 200 miners and their families from Blaine, O. Suddenly two carloads of white thugs appeared and seized Dorsey. The miners then took him from them and told them that if Dorsey were injured, retribution would surely follow. THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish the NEWEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. Of The Republican Party and President Hoover Because "Lily-White" Delegations From the South Were Seated in the Republican National Convention, Last Week. Chicago, Ill.—(CNA) Police attacked a protest-meeting of workers before the Vincennes Hotel here, last week, to protest against the segregation there of our delegates to the Republican national convention. A number of the workers were arrested, including Leondis MacDonald, our candidate for governor of Illinois on communist party ticket, and D. R. Poindexter, our candidate (Communist) for Congress in the Second District. The seating of "illy-white" factions from three southern states, the rejection of a plank against lynching and "jim-crowism", the adoption of a milk-and-water plank of vague and hypocritical promises to the Afro-American, the segregation of our delegates, and the renaming of "illy-white" Hoover—this is the bid for the vote of the Afro-American made by the Republican party where he concurred with the vote here last week Tuesday. Delegates from the "illy-white" factions of Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina were seated in the convention. And as a pre-election gesture, the so-called "black-and-tan" factions of Mississippi and Tennessee were seated—over the vigorous protests of Hoover spokesmen, however. The vague statement appearing in the Republican platform to the effect that the Republican party "will continue to be the friend of the Negro" can be seen as a recalled that the Republican national convention of 1928 adopted a similar plank. How were the election promises of 1928 kept? Here is what the party has done in the last four years of the Hoover administration: It has refused to abish "jim-crowism" in the civil service. It has extended segregation in the government departments in Washington, D. C. It has introduced brazen "jim-crowism" into important government projects —notably Boulder Dam. It has "jim-crowed" our Gold-Star mothers. It has consistently refused to take the mug wave to shine the mug wave of lynchings. Under the pretext of "cleaning up," it has removed Afro-American Republicans from its committees in southern states. Through its state department, it has harassed and secured the arrest of Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two of the Scottsboro victims, on her tour of Europe. It has britt pressure to bear on the authorities in Honolulu to force them to free four self-confessed white lynchers of a Hawaiian native. It retains in its naval service the leader of this lynch-party. It has sent its forces abroad to oppress the natives of Haiti and Liberia. Herbert Hoover, the leader and candidate of the party, has followed consistently a policy of catering to the worst Negro-hating elements in the country. He has refused to receive delegations with Afro-Americans — even with those bootlicking reformists who would willingly lower themselves to be photographed with him. He has refused to receive delegations that desired to discuss lynch-murder. He has named for appointment to the positions of U. S. Marshals, in Mississippi and Georgia, two of the most outspoken Negro-haters in the country. He has taken the lead in the process of turning the Republican party into an avowed party of the "illy-white."

Again there are rumors of efforts being made by several of our local doctors, with the help of several whites, to gain public support for a "jim-crow" hospital for this city. How much truth is there in the rumors? I wonder. --- The presentation spectacularly of Miss Shirley Graham's new opera, "Tom-Tom," and that of the great Wagnerian opera, "Valkyrie," at the stadium, an evening each of the last half of next week and the first half of the week following, during the performances of grand opera in this city, is a recognition, respectively, of "Negro" and German talent and love of music that both those classes of local residents will undoubtedly fully appreciate, and show the same, by a large attendance at least at each of the four evenings these operas are given. Elsewhere in this paper will be found additional information, relative to the operas in question, any of our readers may desire. Mrs. Annie E. Malone, president of Poro College, Inc., Chicago, presided at the graduating exercises of the local Poro classes at Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church, last week Thursday evening. The exercises were under the auspices of a club of which the pastor's wife, Mrs. H. W. Evans, is president, and Ida Miller Johnson, manager. The educational film, "Poro College in Moving Pictures," and Mrs. Malone's very interesting talk, were the features of the evening. It is greatly regretted that proper local publicity was not given the visit of Mrs. Malone because hundreds of her friends and admirers here did not know of her presence in the city. Therefore, did not get to see and hear her. All would have been glad to do so had they known of her visit. Recent developments seem to indicate unquestionably, that Luke Murray, an Afro-American chauffeur from Atlanta, was taken on the night of June 7, 1932, from a jail at South Point, O., near Ironton, brutally lynch-murdered and his body thrown into the Ohio River. Six whites have been arrested and are being held on charges of second-degree murder in connection with Murray's death. We are waiting patiently to see what court action will result in. Meantime, if any of our readers will send us the address of any of Murray's near relatives in Georgia or elsewhere, it will enable us to acquaint them with their right to five thousand dollars under our Ohio Anti-Lynching law, providing of course it is established in the court that he was lynch-murdered. If this proves to be the case, it is the first lynchning Ohio has had in many years. Since the enactment of the law in 1896, thirty-six years ago, there have not been as many lynchings and mob-demonstrations in Ohio as there were in this state in 1893 alone. It looks as if at 12th Ward Democratic club "flare-up" of several weeks ago, which resulted in Ward Leader Dr. L. L. Rodgers losing his job as a city district physician, has resulted in nothing more than a multiplication of words. Rodgers' threatened expose of rotten Democratic political conditions in that ward and Mayor Ray Miller's promised public investigation of the charges that city jobs were being sold and "protection" money from unlawful sources accepted by the Democratic club of the ward—both have failed to materialize and apparently with no prospect of their doing so. Rodgers backed down pronto, quicker than Miller. The result seems to be the appointment. the first of the week, of a Dr. Cox (white) to succeed Dr. Rodgers as a city physician. This ought to cause Rodgers to go thru with his threatened expose unless the mayor gives him another job in the near future. Two other officers of the 12th Ward Democratic club were also suspended from their city jobs when Dr. Rodgers first felt the political ax. People are still more or less patiently awaiting Mayor Miller's promised investigation of the rotten Democratic political conditions existing in Ward 12. BELATED RECOGNITION IN PART Needham Roberts of Trenton, N. J., and Henry Johnson of Albany, members of the 369th U. S. Inf., A. E. F., two of our heroes of the World War who were among the first to show exceptional bravery in action, were promptly awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French government. They were the first American soldiers to be so decorated by the French. Both were severely wounded when they alone fought off thirty-six German soldiers and saved from possible capture many of their comrades. Johnson later died as a result of his injuries. Recently our government awarded Roberts the Purple Heart, a medal engraved with his name, "because of a wound he received in action, May 5, 1918." It is a new citation given only to wounded veterans. It seems that our government has not as yet officially learned of Roberts' and Johnson's major act of bravery. It may, however, after Roberts' death. THE SMITH BANQUET And Reception a Fine Tribute to His Long and Successful City Service—Presented a Cane and a Friendship Scroll—Mayor McKisson's Regime Recalled The banquet-reception, last week Thursday evening, at Mt. Zion Cong. church, tendered Chas. S. Smith, retired (on pension) secretary to the public safety director, was the successful social function anticipated, being attended by about 75 city officials, "brother Elks," members of the American Baptist Church. More than 25 years ago, Mr. Smith was made stenographer to the local chief of police, the first one. He held the position of secretary thru three city administrations. In his address, Safety Director Frank J. Merrick (Dem.) said very pertinently: "Charlie Smith—as we all know him—rose above politics in surviving its many changes, and that is high testimonial to the worth of any public service. I will join with other guests here tonight in wishing him many years of health and happiness." Local Elks presented Mr. Smith with a gold-banded cane, while Rev. Russell S. Brown, pastor of the church, presented him with a friendship scroll which had been signed by the guests, one of whom would surely have been the editor of The Gazette but for the lateness of the receipt, this holds an invitation to the affair. This made it impossible to break a previous engagement of a week's standing. "Curly-Haired Bob" was the man who, as mayor of Cleveland, gave our people more and better recognition in this city's administration of affairs than any other mayor we had had up to his time. It was Mayor McKisson who appointed, for the editor of The Gazette, former Secretary Chas. S. Smith and Patrolman John F. Chaffin (deceased), on the same day, more than 25 years ago, to serve the city's service to the city, and in so doing reflected great credit upon our people of this community as well as themselves. SMUGGLED INTO BELGIUM! A Scottsdale Mother, Mrs. Wright Dalley Her Address. Paris, France—Mrs. Ada Wright of Chattanooga, Tenn., U. S. A., mother of Roy and Andy, two of the nine framed Scottsboro boy-victims, was smuggled over the Belgian border, June 15, to speak to a meeting of 5,000 Belgian workers. Mrs. Wright's presence in Belgium had been prohibited by the government, and her appearance in Brussels a few days earlier had led to her arrest and deportation. The Belgian government admitted that in expelling Mrs. Wright, it was yielding to pressure from the American (U. S.) embassy. At the same time Mrs. Wright was placed under arrest, the King and Queen of Belgium were preparing a reception for Amelia Earhart (white), American aviatrix.

(93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. However, being the president of an inn, restaurant, eating house, bar-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the facilities or privileges, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the persecutor in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Scott.

In eleventh-century Persia, a secret order was founded by Hassan ben Sabbah, indulging in the use of the Oriental drug hashish, and, when under its influence, in the practice of secret murder. The murderous drinker of hashish came to be called hashab in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assasin!

(Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C.)—WNU Service BESHITE its growth and experience compared with London, and the flow of gold toward the British capital, New York retains its position as the world's leading banker. New York is a city of superlatives. It is man's incomparable feat! As incredible almost as that ants should have built the Andes! Go up on any high hotel roof after sunset and watch the city come to life. By electric moons, rainbows, and fixed comets you see Manhattan blaze from dusk into gorgeous theatrical illumination. Tunnels lead from it in many directions. Through them thousands of tenants arrive each morning after many miles of underground travel, as through them one may wander, as the streets of a subterranean city. this human prairie-dog town are more than 50 places to eat, and stores ing everything from office supplies a lingerie to thermos bottles, sunnies, lamps, books, and haberdashery. From these commercial catacombs of may ride all the way out to Long Island without ever coming into the open air. It's twinkling skyline ebbs and flows in tides of tempo and color. As each edifice melts into new lights and shadows, all the architectural phantasmalia of the ages, linked even with earth's ancient scars, seems to unfold. In fancy you see a phantom city, a kaleidoscopic riot of Alps and Acropolis; Ming tombs, Taj Mahal, and Pyramids; Glibartal, Pamana canal, Tower of Babel, with Grand canyon and Yangtze gorges formed by street caverns far below; Cologne cathedral, Pkles Peak, and St. Peter's, a Chinese Wall against a Sahara desert of tamp-lift sky; towers and turrets, mosques, minarets, domes, steeples, roof tanks and penthouses all heaped and crowding and seeming to burn as smoke moves in electric light. Next day, from the same high place, see it again—realistic, notisy, its streets crowded with traffic. New York never rests. Higher and ever higher rise the skyscrapers. Their mastodont bulk; their grace of geometric design; their dizzy height and fearsome beauty—at first they almost hint that man's monsters have run away with him, Stare up at such a building and it fairly dominates one's mind and body. From their upper stories you see bits of fog floating by. Miles to the east stretches Long Island; to the south is the Statue of Liberty, and Staten Island; to the west spreads New Jersey, and to the north that part of the city beyond Central park. Below lie mere pigly structures of six and eight stories. Here and there, up from among them, other skyscrapers rise in this swiftly changing region of Mid-Manhattan. In their myriad windows one sees girls pounding typewriters or powdering their noses; but, save for a faint metallic city hum from far below, there is no sound. Vertical Travel Is Immense. These high buildings, that visitors from all over the world stare at with such astonishment, make New York what it is—the supreme wonder of the modern world. When the first "skyscraper," of only 13 stories, went up on lower Broadway, people feared it. Those in adjacent houses moved out in alarm. Now, higher and higher they go-50, 60, 70, 85 stories. So many there are, and so high, that today the vertical travel in New York actually exceeds the horizontal. In other words, elevators carry more passengers than do all the surface cars, elevated trains, taxis, busses, and subways combined. In one skyscraper 21 elevators cover a mileage equal to the run of the Twentieth Century Limited from New York to Chicago, daily. One of the big problems in New York is getting the occupants of skyscrapers in and out on time. The larger buildings hold anywhere from 5,000 to 15,000, and even 20,000 workers. In some are found people from practically every state in the Union. Even with express elevators, it takes nearly an hour to empty some of the larger buildings and get the people away from the ground floor and entrances, because of congested subways. If they all came down at once, it would pile people up ten or twelve deep in the streets around a building. The New York skyscraper is a city in itself, with all a city's problems of traffic, water, heat, lights, sewage, fire and police protection, and cleaning. Its total floor area equals that of many a farm. To run the elevators of one of them requires a starter, six assistant starters, 35 operators, and a crew of ten maintenance men. Since water from fire hydrants can be squirted upward only about 150 feet, and since firemen cannot drag a hose up 50 or 75 stories, a skyscraper has its own upright water mains, tanks and high-pressure pumps, with an elaborate system of alarms and extinguishing apparatus. Beneath one building are turntables for buses from railway terminals Tunnels lead from it in many directions. Through them thousands of its tenants arrive each morning after many miles of underground travel, and through them one may wander, as in the streets of a subterranean city. In this human prairie-dog town are more than 50 places to eat, and stores selling everything from office supplies and lingerie to thermos bottles, sunray lamps, cigars, books and haberdashery. From these commercial catacombs one may ride all the way out to Long Island without ever coming into the open air. Speed in New Construction. But New York's greatness is not in structure alone. It lies also in the speed at which life moves and new buildings displace the old. This swift transition stuns even the blase New Yorker. Troy was wrecked and rebuilt nine times. Here history repeats. Compare the skyline now with pictures of the same region made only ten years ago. You will see that palatial homes have been demolished and whole residence districts swept away to clear sites for higher buildings. You see buildings like the famous Waldorf-As torla to junk, and hard on the heels of its wreck come giants like the amazing Empire State building. To widen streets, houses are sliced off in front as with giant shears. Four hundred buildings wrecked to extend a subway spur; trainloads of dirt hauled to the river front and dumped to make a park below Riverside drive. In cyclonic devastation, whole neighborhoods are razed for new bridge approaches. Swiftly the old landmarks fade Only Grant's tomb and similar objects of sentiment seem safe. If even the Sphinx stood on Fifth Avenue, somebody would probably want to wreck it to build a skyscraper! Here is no space for static things. By many cuts and running it fast, imagine this picture shown in, say, two or three hours. You would see old buildings crumbling down and new skyscrapers hastening heavenward, pushing up like giant mushrooms. It would be unendurable. Compared with medieval cities, think how fast New York grows. Today, in New York, bricklayers may run walls up two stories in a day. A building of 50 floors is begun and finished in about the same time it used to take a Sloux to kill a buffalo and tan its hide for his wigwam. Between crowds and skyscrapers is reciprocal affinity. Each is the cause of the other. Into that part of Manhattan below Fifty-ninth street there comes to work every morning an army of people equal to the population of Paris or Chicago. No other spot on earth is so crowded with men and houses. It reminds you of one certain rock near a coast where cormorants, gulls, and pelicans all come to roost. Other islets are near, but the fussing birds crowd and defile only their favorite rock. They pack it so tight that if one bird raises a wing to stretch, another is pushed into the sea. On, Under and Over Manhattan. Thus men crowd Manhattan rock. Not only that. They bore holes in it, dig tunnels under rivers, and push bridges over to it, so that still more men may reach it hastily. The passengers on its transport lines each year outnumber all the people in the world. Those passing through Times Square subway station alone last year equaled in number half the inhabitants of the western hemisphere. So jammed is Fifth avenue now that in busy hours a man walking goes faster than a bus. In many streets motors average less than four miles an hour. New York's fight to keep men and things in motion knows no fault. It has built a great elevated express highway, a novel thoroughfare many feet above the street. It runs along the Hudson river water front-from Canal street north to Seventy-second, with ramps for access and egress at a few important cross-town streets. At Seventy-second its outlet is Riverside drive. Think what this means to crowded New York! A broad free path of two 30-foot roadways, with no grade crossings, able to carry from 5,000 to 9,000 motor cars an hour, at a speed of 35 miles—right over all congestion. Then there's the new tunnel, to run under tidewater from Brooklyn out to Staten Island. It will take two to four years to bore this bold submarine high way. THE GAETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1932. By CHERIE NICHOLAS INTERNATIONAL IT SEEMS that fashion is delivering a series of "chalk talks" this season. At any rate, the very newest laces and fabrics are carrying over the message that to be "chalky" is to be chic. This luster-lack vogue is the latest sensation in realms of fashion. Smart laces especially feature these fascinating dull-finished effects. The name of this very new and beautiful type of chalky-surfaced lace is as intriguing as the lace itself. When you go lace-frock-hunting just mention peau d'ange (Angel skin) to the madam or salesperson who awaits your pleasure, for such is the title some genius of fashion, gifted with imagination, has bestowed upon laces of this character. Forthwith you will be shown an array of laces such as your eye ne'er gazed upon until this season—free from garish luster, chalklike and soft and altogether lovely. Much of the charm of these chalky-surfaced laces rest in their delectable colorings which run the range of enchanting pastels as well as including the now-so-fashionable off-white, also the new chalk white which is the last word. Be they ever so simple in their styling, gowns made of these beguiling lusterless laces are convincingly high-class and up-to-date looking. The exquisite gowns pictured are winsome exponents of the present vogue for mellowed chalky surfaces and colorings. They bear that unmistakable this-season's air about them which is so much to be coveted. Their backgrounds, comparing the two gowns, are their distinguishing feature. In each instance their floral patternings are in that dull finish which seems as if done in chalk on sheer grounds. M This good looking sports frock made of shell pink linen shows the smartness of simple tailored styling. The shoes are of pale blue kid trimmed with deeper blue. That's what fashion-wise young girls will be wearing this late spring and summer—shoes of finest kid in pastel colorings with their pink, blue or yellow sports clothes. Hats help carry out the color scheme. The one in the picture is pale blue to match the shoes. Note the open-mesh background of the lace which fashions the jacketed dress to the right in the picture. This type is a general favorite. Most every lace crock has a matching jacket and this gracious costume is no exception. The presence of these complementary jackets tunes in with the trend of the mode which is to dress rather less formally than heretofore. Be a lace dress ever so formal with an extreme low-cut-at-the-back decolletage, its ultra formality is modified to occasion with the denning of a sleeved jacket. The bolero form is the preferred type, and in almost every instance the sleeves are belled. The lace employed for the gown illustrated to the left has a background which suggests chiffon or georgette, but the flowers are as if chalked on by an artist's band. Small wonder is it, that the call of the lace gown continues so insistently. Not only does it qualify from the standpoint of beauty and make esthetic appeal, but women flitting about, spending a week-end here and there find that the lace frock is ever ready at a moment's notice to go dining and dancing or to attend any social event where one must dress to festive environment, for neither does it wrinkle nor does it crush, but comes out as fresh and lovely as when it started on its journey from home. That which applies to the newest laces applies also to the latest fabrics, especially the smartest prints, the latest versions of which are taking on a chalklike finish which differentiates them decidedly from last season's crepes and other silken sheers.

BELTS ARE FEATURE OF SPRING STYLES Belts, and more belts; buckles of steel, of chromium, of wood, of bright red and green metallic effects, and new ribbon, chain, suede, patent leather, kid, cloth and every other kind of belt materials for those who want to make their own belts—all these are seen in the stores this spring. Even then the belt field is not exhausted. Combinations of belts, pocketbooks and scarfs which match are being shown. Or perhaps the belt and bag are of different, but harmonizing shades. At any rate, the fashion is for belted effects, and a woman may be as daring as she wishes, putting a green belt on a yellow dress and adding a touch of green to her yellow bag. Striped belts are good, plaid woven belts in woolen materials are smart with navy blue or other solid color frocks, and the ribbon counters are doing a rushing business in a wide, heavy shiny sort of ribbon for use as belts. Perforations Are Only Trimming for Footwear Oxford, pumps and one straps are all smart with tailored clothes—but smartest if they are sporty in appearance, and their heels are not too high. Perforations are really the only trimming that tailored street shoes may wear. Here is a new idea for your feet. Developed in calfskin, these unlined shoes feel like a glove on the foot. Not only do they have no lining, but no boxing across the toe, and no seams across the vamp. Perforations make them even more comfortable for summer. Three-Starred Bags Bags are starred not only in the fashion sense but in reality, for many of the smartest new ones of patent leather have three large silver stars running diagonally across one corner. SCENE IN SECOND ACT OF THE OPERA, "TOM-TOM." ALFRED MILLER OUR "STARS" IN THE NEW OPERA, "TOM-TOM." Nearly two hundred of our men and women sit in a semi-circle at rehearsals in the gymnasium of K. of C. hall, 2612 Prospect Ave., while in the center stands a soft-spoken young lady, Miss Shirley Graham, whose new opera, "Tom-Tom," promises to create a sensation on its world premiere in the stadium at an early date. Miss Graham personally directs the great chorus, in another part of the hall, the auditorium, Maestro Carlo Peroni directs the choruses to be heard in "Carmen" and "Alda." From 2 to 4 p. m., Charles Weldman, the creative dance artist, with Doris Humphreys, spaces the ballet with their modern numbers to be given in these operas. Thus, the picture grows for the second grand opera season in the stadium from June 29 to July 6. River" of the Ziefgeld success, "Show Boat," and of "Deep River," gained his greatest fame in Europe. Lillian Cowan also of N. Y. City, formerly one of our Cleveland girls who for more than three years starred as the soprano in "Porgy," has been secured to sing the role of "The Girl" in "Tom-Tom." Charlotte Murray, another of our prominent New York church and concert singers, will have the mezzo-soprano role, "The Mother," while another contralto role, "The Mammy," will be sung by Mary Branch, well-known local artist. Still another Cleverheart in the cast will be brought her from New York, is Luther King, ten de luxe, who will have the part, "The Boy." King was graduated from Brett Memorial and Collinwood High schools went to New York to complete his numerous "extra" production to be authentic and the producers, Laurence A.

The opening scene of the second act shows the Africans in America. The final act takes them to Harlem, carrying all the time the transition of conditions of life, and changes in music, with the tom-tom underlying them all. Miss Graham, the daughter of a lay Methodist minister, doing post-graduation work, returns to jungle voodoo and ancient African taboos from her father, once a missionary in Africa. The cast for her opera will bring here one of our best baritones, Jules Bledsoe, to sing the role of "Voodoo Man." Bledsoe, a famous "Old Man WOODSON WRONG! When Jane Hunter found the Negro women of Cleveland excluded from the W. W. C. A. there, she went to the Negroes themselves and established a Phillis Wheatley Association, a home for colored working girls; and the liberal whites came to her support. When, thereafter, the effort became a great success and some suggested that she come under the management of the jimcrowing Y. W. C. A. Jane Hunter replied that she would never do it. Some one offered her a few thousand dollars on the condition that she accept such dictation from those who were carrying out segregation in the name of God; but Jane Hunter, being the great woman that she is, told them where to go with that gift. And she succeeded as all earnest workers who succeed; they have whatever good workhood enough to frown upon those who try to buy us.—Prof Carter G. Woodson. Someone has greatly misinformed Prof. Woodson, "Jane" Hunter, or Jennie Hunter as she was known at that time, did NOT "go to the Negroes" of Cleveland for the purpose stated, nor did she or they "establish a Phillis Wheatley Association, a home for colored working girls." As a matter of fact, Mrs. W. C. Schofield, a wealthy white resident of this city who, if memory serves us correctly, was at the head of the Negroes, was the Miss Hunter to promote the P. W. A. which was intended to become a branch of the local "Y", and did relieve it from a pressure to open it to our women of this community eligible to membership in the same, but who were being barred because of their color and race connection. "Liberal whites," under Mrs. Schofield's leadership and other wealthy whites, established the P. W. A. and have ever since controlled and supported it with what assistance, financial and otherwise, they could afford. It was the community. It was the insistence upon the part of others of our people of this community that prevented the P. W. A. from becoming, as originally intended, a branch of the local Y. W. C. A.—a black tail to a white kite"—in the face of the fact that Miss Hunter was sent to New York City by them to prepare to conduct such a branch. If Miss Hunter ever told them that "she would never do it" and if anyone offered her such a thousand dollars" do such a thing," she told them where to go with River" of the Ziefeld success, "Show Boat," and of "Deep River," gained his greatest fame in Europe, Lillian Cowan also of N. Y. City, formerly one of our Cleveland girls who for more than a second year "Porks" has been secured to sing the role of "The Girl" in "Tom-Tom." Charlotte Murray, another of our prominent New York church and concert singers, will have the mezzo-soprane role, "The Mother," while another contralto role, "The Mammy," will be sung by Mary Branch, well known for her concert singers. Cleveland in the cast, but who will be brought here from New York, is Luther King, tenor de luxe, who will have the part, "The Boy." King was graduated from Brett Memorial and Collinwood High schools here went to New York to complete his studies and became a concert singer. Singer, King, like Miss Cowan, got his musical start here. He studied under Cassius C. Chapel at the Cleveland Music School Settlement while Miss Cowan was the pupil of Mrs. Rachel Walker Turner. A triple role of "Leader-Preacher-Captain" will be carried by Augustus Grist, our well-known local baritone completing the list of principals these days, although many times one have been assigned to others of our local singers. Besides these stars and the giant chorus, there are dancers, groups for pantomime, warriors to represent Africans of the jungle, and Lovely Frock By Emmu Lovely Frock of Cotton Mesh 1 By Emma Lou Fetta NEW York City.—A durene cotton frock which gains its charm from the texture of the material and the cut of the dress.

The Phillis Wheatley Association and home succeeded because the "liberal whites," referred to, controlled and supported it and continue to do so; and were still are determined, to "lim-crow" our After Read subscribe after numerous "extras." Every detail of the production of "Tom-Tom" will be authentic and realistic, announce the producers, Dr. Ernest Lert and Laurence A. Higgins. The Playhouse Settlement, under Russell W. Jelliffe, is conducting a contest for the best full-set designs of masks, costumes, tatoo designs, spear heads, shields and such. To make the set less messy, I. Akazia Steady, missionary of Africa, has been secured to collaborate with Dr. Ernest Lert in staging some of the scenes. The two performances of "Tom-Tom" will present many of these native jungle scenes, given for the first time in history on any stage. In the final act to connect Africa and America, there will be a great explosion showing a mammoth stage set in the stadium. Elaborate staging pins also call for elevated hills which run across the city, automobiles and cabaret scenes in the final act showing New York's Harlem. The opera is replete with African music, spirituals and modern "Blues." While the dancing groups will be extremely realistic, the same music will be more traditional in Alda and Carmen. "The Dance of Victory" in "Aida" will cover practically the entire stage with the dancers coming in from all entrances. In Carmen there will be the Festival of Rhythms, the movements of rhythm in the tavern scene and a pantomime number before the second act. of Cotton Mesh Lou Fetta The interesting durene mesh is extremely durable.

They were not trying to "buy us," but apparently succeeded in getting at least one "Negro" of this community to do their bidding. ding It Reading It
