C. Alleyne Allen's National News Bureau. 447 Lenox Avenue. New York City, October 2, 1916. When the National Race Congress, which opened in Washington on October 3, is well represented at the Congress. The Colored people here have taken a keen interest in the coming convention, and will send their best manhood and womanhood to Washington to join in the great movement. The great interest that has been taken in the coming congress is due to the visibility of the city and personal correspondent, who went before the churches, literaries and civil bodies of the city and personal convention. He called attention to the importance of having a large delegation from this race throughout the country if the race would respond to the call. As a result of his efforts, a big equation M, E, church last Thursday evening. A large and enthusiastic audience was present and manifested. G, G, G, presided, and in a stirring gaddress told of the necessity of the race getting together at this important condition of conditions in this country.

New York's Yorks Negro Regiment Praised by Governor Whitman as a "Military Hero." The Fifteenth Infantry, the Colored regiment of this city, which will soon be mastered in as a part of the Fifteenth National Guard, will be posted down Fifth Avenue last Sunday morning, 900 strong, headed by their colonels and regimental band, to the famous Union League building, where the people Governor Whitman of this State presented the regiment with both the state and national colors, which gives the regiment its name. The National Guard ranks of the country. Some Idea of Dr. C. C. Alleyne: The Rev R. D. C. Alleyne, who was elected to the editor's of the Quarterly Review of the A. M. E. Zion as a young man and forsoseful pastor in the opinion of our correspondent will reflect the highest credit on his new office. He one of its most promising young men, who was in line for something big in the church, was elected to the editor's of the Review, he was pastoring First Street church in Providence, where he did effervescence while pastoring that church that he attracted wide attention as correspondent of the Star of Zion, writing under In these articles he showed a splendid grasp upon the affairs of the church, as well as men and things, and as the leader of the church's material for a bigger job. For several years he has conducted the Beesley Column in the Review with much success, and brings to his new field a ripe experience. He has pastored the largest churches in the connection, and did, with great success, at John Wesley church in Washington. His election to this important post is viewed by the ablest men of the connection. Your correspondent has just received a copy of the current issue of the Review, and the latest correspondence in many ways to former numbers. The editorials bear upon timely reference to church and connection legislation, and contains articles by Ripon G. W. Clinton, Prof. W. O. Carr, Richard Cullins and Charles Martin. When your correspondent saw Dr. Alleyne in this city last week he was enthusiastic over the prospect that his new field offered. He was obtained in Charlotte, N. C., in 1903, by Bishop G. W. Clinton, and from that time he has risen steadily in the ranks of the church. FORMER COLORED SOLDIER SAYS TAGGART HAS PROVED FRIEND-ISH FOR HIS RACE. As a Star reader I would like to say a few things in reference to Senator Taggart has proved friend-ish for Negro. I am a former soldier of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry, I served in the regular army previous to the war, and have been a resident of Indianapolis since 1888, of these wars as a Senator of all qualities and a friend to the Colored people. What I have to say is from the letter to bear testimony as a Colored citizen of Indianapolis to what I know of this man who has always proved to me that he is a Colored people. As true American citizens we should make loyalty and honor our standard differences difference what a man's political affiliations are; if he is my friend, and a friend of my people, he has my confidence, and my esteem. Always Negroes Friend. Senator Taggart corresponded to the Negroes of Indiana that he is their friend. He has not hesitated to emulate them, and he has been everywhere he has any business that he has to employ help. All of his Colored help are well paid, many of them have been among the best Colored citizens of the state. During his short career in the United States senate he has been with the best interests of the whole country at heart, but true to his records, as a worthy citizen of his state. When the Caraway bill was introduced, the nation seemed to deprive the Colored citizens of the right of enlistment in the army and navy of the United States, and the nation was put to the secretary of war, in which he gave due credit to the Negro citizens and the African Americans, in order to efficiency in defense of the nation's flag and honor in all the crises of our country. No Use to Import Speaker. In view of these facts so well known to every intelligent Colored citizen and to it all becomes those who are unfriendly to the Democratic party to which he belongs, South to come to the state of Indiana and preach to its Colored citizens that they should vote for the Colored voters of the state, and flinch dust in their eyes. Mr. Taggart, may not "be able to stare at you," our brother from the Southland said, but until after the election in November, and the Colored brother has shown that they know and never desert a friend, we will not concern our brother has shown that they know and never desert a friend, we will not concern our brother has shown that they know and never desert a friend, we will not concern our brother has to say. He has a problem of his own in the Southland in an honest and honorable effort at his talents and time more profitably in an honest and honorable effort at his talents and time more profitably in an honest and honorable effort at to inform us of Indiana who are our friends and the motives influencing them in their dealings with and acc Urges Loyalty. It is the right and privilege of the Colored citizen as a person frends when and where he finds them, and to be true and loyal to them regardless of the party to which he is also his right and privilege to identify himself with the party of his own choice, and with his own reason and judgment approves. The Colored voters of this country vote for men and women and support parties because of the principles they stand for, rather than because of their names. Marked with red ink, the names that recognition from all parties to which they feel justly entitled and for which they are ever asked and are certain. In my judgment a brighter day in the political life of this nation, his color ceases to indicate, as it does now in most cases, the political party ourselves prudent, wide-awake progressive Aeamerican citizens, and then we are waking up again cognition from all parties. We must be men of depth and power and purity, confident and esteem of others. We must, like the waters of the ocean, become sweeter and purer by our own right actress. Respectfully William C.

Out on Lee street, near Trestler, is a cabin where the nesting the cabin are large and magnificent oaks, whose branches reach far out and almost to the ground, but the Glynn county moss, thus making an ideal place for the habitat of a ghost. Here it is that the present one can be seen, that man is sitting between the hours of 7 and 12 o'clock, but can be seen only at varying periods. The ghost consists of a shadow passing from sometimes a stream and sometimes a river and then a boy. From COLORED ATTORNEY AND WIFE ORDERED FROM SLEEPING Special to The Freeman The Honorable Perry W.

The New Board of Education of the District of Columbia Sends the Bruce Machine to the Scrap Pile. ARKANSAS CLUB HONORS FOLKS FROM HOME! Following the trend of sentiment against the employment of day teachers, the department has been repeatedly touched upon in these columns, no teacher from now on, can get salary increases, and the rate salaries amount to $2,000 or more per annum. This will let out few who have been "hogging the market" and the benefits over a wider area of educational talent. It is believed that when teachers are given the best day, the best interests of both the scholars and the teacher are protected by having them work in the night—have in exceptional cases, where capable instructors cannot be secured. The department has divided equitably among as large a number as possible. The action of the department even though the new rule does not go far enough, it is a step in the right direction, and the hope is that the time is ripe for further consideration of the subject. There should be schools where it is possible to avoid. Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans to "Come Back." Far and away the most significant event of the meeting was the agreement within the system" be given to Dr Wilson Bruce Evans, former principal of the Armstrong School, the director of night schools. Dr. Evans was dismissed from these positions by a former Board of Education. The appeal of the court cases resulted in a finding that he had been unjustly separated from the school system, the court said. The petition to relinstate was a function belonging to the Board of Education. The appeal of the court cases is still pending. A new order of things coming in through the present Board impelled Dr. Evans to apply to the Board of Education so he is to be reinstated, without prejudice to the welfare of those holding places in the school system. The restoration of Dr. Evans is to be considered in the light of "censure" of a former Board for dismissing him, and to be assigned his last meeting left open the principalship of the Cardozo Vocational School it is believed to be quarter to this position. He practically laid the foundation for the Armstrong School system, now looming large, is the natural outgrowth of his constructive pioneer work. The return of Dr. Evans to the classroom has long been a worthy, faithful and valuable factor, is an instance of tardy justice, and a correction of one of the bad habits, "crucifixion" might be a better word.

It is a proof that the authorities did well to remove the reactionary element on the old Board that had denied a square deal, not only to Dr. Evans, but to countless others, whose cases possessed equal merit. Another notable reform, growing out of a training course out of an appointment in the atypical school, was the change in examination methods by the school, allowing a certificate of having once undergone a test in normal subjects, will be examined on these, in connection with special courses. This gives a normal certificate, while heretofore it was got considered, and gave no advantage to the usual individual who had had no normal training. Other Changes in the Schools. changes in the schools. As has been shown several weeks, Miss Joseph E. Wormley has been appointed assistant director of music, succeeding the late Richard Wormley, who stood that this selection was made directly by Mr. Thurston, and that Mr. Wormley has an interest of another candidate. For the Cardozo Vocational School, it is stated that Mr. Bruce fives either Nathaniel Board or Supt. Thurston remains to be seen how Supt. Thurston makes this matter, Miss Lola Johnson is transferred from Miner Normal School to Cardozo, whose merits have been before the Board for some time, is assigned to the school, and the school is toward which Mason Layton is named as a class five teacher at Randall School. Many other changes are announced, but these are the most important. The school is accustomed toward which anxious eyes are turned, there is a "new Richmond in the field." The friends of John W. F. Smith, now the vice president of public schools, are urging him to allow the use of his name in connection with this high office. Mr. Smith knows the life of the pioneer forces in its development. He comes from an old life, and is recognized while as well as the man of integrity whose whole life stands for a "square deal." The Smith boom is in emeritus yet. More will be heard of it later. Veteran Coachman of John R. McLean Pensioned—and Wedded. Mr. Nathaniel Robinson, for thirty-three years in the employ of the famed coachman, has been pensioned in the sum of $400 annually for life under the newspaper and political magnate.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX. BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, OCT. 7, 1916. Senator Thomas Taggart has been very helpful to the Colored people of this city and for many years. Perry N. Howard, president of the National Negro Bar Association in riding in a sleeper, accompanied by his wife, from New York to his home in Jackson, Miss., had trouble when he struck the Kentucky state line. He stuck up for his right to ride right where he was, and he rode. Speaking of exodus last week we said that one of the dangers was that new conditions might be created in the north if the Negroes came from the south in large numbers. This paragraph which concerns Philadelphia is seen in circulation: "Signs indicating segregation and jim crowing of Colored people have sprung up in all parts of the city since the influx of several thousand Negro laborers from the South, brought here principally by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and from the Northwest. "The Knickerbocker Theatre, 40th and Market streets, is, it is alleged, accepting Negro patrons, but segregating them." The departure of Dr. Stansfield for a new field of labor will be regretted keenly by the Colored people of this city. He will be remembered for his kindly expressions for them by him and his sympathies which were always extended owing to their struggle as a race. His departure, it will be noticed, is greatly regretted by the congregation which he served and by the citizens generally. The newspapers have praised him warmly for his work of uplift during his stay in this community. He was no limited in his endeavour, but he succeeded in people consequently the Colored people felt his touch. He appeared more than once before the Colored men of the Y. M. C. A., where he addressed them as men and brothers. He was greatly appreciated by them and the Colored people generally who had learned to know of him. It comes with poor grace from any Colored man of this community to speaks with indifference of Senator Thomas Taggart's life-long regard for the Colored people. That he now stands for office does not change anything. And if it may be feared that his party will work them injury he has already declared himself against measures that endanger them, thus assuring them that he may be counted on at all times to stand in their interest as citizens of the country. Parties, of cofarse, are vehicles with boring civil constructions; set there are civil bands is no less the man. Henry George said: "I stand for men." Beyond the mere name of party there is no just reason to make a fight on Mr. Taggart. He has overcome all reasonable objections to himself as a party man by his candid declarations, and which to together with his undoubted material support of the Colored people puts him in an attitude that should be appealing to them. During these busy political times it may be forgotten that the mob was again busy last week, claiming two victims, one in Tennessee and the other in Georgia. There seems to be but little else to do but to take note and register a protest. Merely the facts of the happenings have been given in the daily papers. Yet through it all our stock of optimism will have increased if at the end of the year it is found that there were fewer lynchings this year than last year. Whatever the toll of the present year it is reasonable to think that the evil is on the decline. A few years ago the number of victims ran up in to 10,000 and up again they have been a marked decrease. In a manner the iniquity is burning out, due, in some part to the fight that has been made on it by our own race and by the white people, many of whom have always fought it most bitterly. And, perhaps, if it is due in some part to the reflections of the mob element which is learning to appreciate the respectability of Negroes, their worth and value as citizens, seeing the difference in individuals, thus saving the thing of race assassination. The great Baptist church is no nearer together than it was before the two great conventions. And its a pity that 'it's true. The bottom of the trouble is the inability of organization as such to own and control property; and it appears to us that this will never be possible in the strictest sense until the organization is closer. Mere supervision based on support does not do the work. Really it appears that those flourishing institutions which are now the rock of division would not have been had they awaited the initiative of the convention as such. The National Baptist Training School of which Miss Burroughs is president, was under fire at Savannah, but seemingly, that lady made good in showing that the accounts of the school were regular. But at that the question of the ownership in fee simple has arisen. Funds have come from everywhere. Miss Burroughs has sold personal property to tide over the affairs of the school in stormy times. Her salary is greatly in arrears. To whom is she accountable? Will that church claim ownership because the institution is conducted under that denomination's influence? Is that church in a position to assume ownership? With every church absolute in its authority, and every minister a sovereign, it will have to do some fine maneuvering to own property jointly that will stand the josling of courts. SIEGE OF FESTIVITIES. Indianapolis is going through a stage of festivities in memory of the one hundredth year of the state's existence, growth and prosperity. The festivities are various; some are speculative, ruly pageant, showing the periods and customs and activities of the past and present as seen in the parades and other features, being at once interesting and informing. The initial parade last Monday was a procession of history, told by groups of old soldiers, young soldiers, "pioneer" women and men, boys and girls, all of whom played distinct parts—a travelogue of the "nation." There was the "Spirit of 76," that picturecases old fife-man, hair afloat, face aglow, of inspiration, striding along as youth, answering his soul's emotion. Then those veterans of the Civil War, and determined looking as if they had not repented a single day for the part they took in setting the union to rights. All along with applause they were poetical, setting in motion poetical thoughts—thoughts that the number of their order cannot be increased by any laws or rules, and they must go down to the last man, and as they do in, and most beautiful in resignation. That small group of Negro soldiers, also a remnant of our great war, came in for attention. They were humble appearing, yet stolid and heroic enough. They were poor apearing so far as their clothes are concerned, and they were meant to be as they ambled along gloriously mounted by thoughts suggested by the stirring martial music and the shouting multitudes. Many more features were there, among those women who appeared as the nation's ancestry, humble representatives, and at the same time the "great first cause" of "all our greatness." The children, young boys and girls delighted in being a part of the pageant which is now history. And one, when thinking of it all, gets that awful feeling, that in another hundred years, not one of these will be left to tell the tale. But the occasion was two joyous, sentimental and hopeful for such heavy and disquieting thoughts. It was a splendid day and a splendid afair. EMPLOYMENT OF NEGROES According to Charles E. Hall, Colored, an expert in the Division of Revision and Results, furnishes the following facts concerning the employment of Negroes engaged in railroad work, and who would have been affected by the threatened strike: Officials, 37; conductors, 120; bagagemen, 225; freight agents, 17; ticket and station agents, 50; yardmen, 31; locomotive engineers, 355; locomotive freemen, 5,188; switchmen and flagmen, 2,127; brakemen, 4,719; foremen and overseers, 981; boiler washers and engine hostlers, 1,328; laborers, 87,188. Total 102,188. This does not include the army of porters of about 15,000. It will be remembered that these thousands of Negroes are employed largely in the South, the section that some wish to see abandoned. In the North the Negroes will be found in the list of railroad porters as the rule. Of course money is not the whole of life, but it is of more value to our race at this time than it is to the people around us. The kind of employment has much to do in fixing the status of a people. If we are found wholly in positions that are held as lowly we may rest assured that that's the estimate of us by those who have matters in charge, so we to speak. We said, last week, that the Negroes of the North were mainly laborers, porters, waiters and of similar occupations more or less servile. This splendid showing by Mr. Hall of officials, conductors, baggagemen, freight agents, ticket and station agents, locomotive engineers, locomotive firemen, and so on, has to do with the South absolutely. Here and there, perhaps, will be found the North. New York is a newly employed, but no one we think, will have the hard work to say that there are enough to disturb the tenor of the argument. And then, too, we should not forget that the condition presented by the railroads is repeated in most of the other industries. With all due respects to the white trades unions they are only strong in the North. The Southern white employer has been and is the buffer between them and the Negro laborers—an unexpected good that came out of the war, and right in the South where it was most needed. One feels to say that Providence figured directly in the affairs of the section, giving blessings that were masked and because most needed. If that section had the same industrial situations as the North, one can readily see that the prayers would be: "Give us this day our daily bread." We do not mean to lessen the value of civil and political rights. We mean to say that there is some sense of it we are not to disgrace our civil for it. We are not to disgrace our civil and at the same time we should not lose sight of the disposition to keep us from want. The South would feed and clothe us, denying nothing much, by way of employment that we be fed and clothed, keep those higher signs of citizenship for white people. The North has limitations in the matter of feeding and clothing, permitting us to do all we can within the limitations. It is not interested in promoting Negro citizenship, but does nothing to purposely obstruct it. So we have the two conditions, making it plain that salvation does not come especially through either, except only as we choose to work it out and which is quite as promising under one condition as the other. THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES. The special ordering about of a part of the citizens by others, and as an object lesson, teaching the inequality of the human family, when such teach to the finer views of thoughtful men, and to the religious, and to the written laws generally of states, is one of the very difficult things to understand. It is not difficult to understand that the thing could be done, no more than is difficult to understand that men can murder and steal, and also do the many other things which they are forbidden to do. It is difficult to understand how men can come to feel that they are so much more in their cre THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. tion than other men, that they think to divide the things of earth, taking the better for themselves. In the language of Cassius, what meat have they fed on? Great, big principles are meant in the foregoing, and which are the basis of our contention for an equal share in the great, big common things of the citizenship. We are not so careless or thoughtless as to think or hold that the case is clean cut, as it concerns our relationship. The Negroes concede something—that there is a dent in their line of civil formidability, notwithstanding the contents of the fifteenth amendment with the "race, color or previous condition of servitude" phase. This dent is due to the conception of the ideals of races and their preparedness for ultra citizenship. Our government in the '60s, those benevolent, civil philanthropical, God souled men, staked out a greater claim than our race could at once work. Nothing, says that amendment of the constitution, is to militate against us because of race, color or previous condition. And in the interest of the country's peace, we, ourselves, are repudiating much of the content and intent of the law. But despite this sensible spirit of compromise there are those who greedily grab up what we throw down and proceed to plunder us of what still remains to us. We have surrendered the citizens' rights to take part in many things. This has been done to the verge of destruction, but the good of the country, very often when many short-sighted white men stood ready to sacrifice all for dollars or to vent personal spleen. Our race for more than 50 years has been askest of the white race, "What will thou have us do?" This splendid spirit of surrender has been given the miser's heart, who would have all the gold for himself, giving up nothing. We do not have in mind those privileges which throw the races together in a social way. It is impossible to array an individual against his nature. But his nature has no right to dominate a sphere of influence other than which immediately surrounds. Such a sphere would be social or near social hence would mean the disturbing of one's personal comfort in event he had strong anti-race feeling. We find individuals who are as much concerned about the movements of Negroes generally as if they were in their immediate presence, and they conduct themselves accordingly, making rules for them that reach out after them as if any man had the authority. Be it understood, that whatever laws men may make that limits the movements of other citizens, are usurpative, and not founded on the nation's fundamentals, hence are no more or less than the instruments of trouble. Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just, said Shakespeare, that master mind of all the ages. Lincoln was right when he said that a nation could not endure half slave and half free. And had he lived until this day we think he would be insisting that the general government of a free people, whose equality before the laws is written in the basic principles, should stubbornly resist every inch of encroachment on those principles and their spirit. Bear in mind the Negroes are not asking interference in the thousand and one little meannesses that are to be met throughout the country. They are asking that they be protected in the essentials of citizenship. They view with alarm any hint or sign from the general government that it takes part in abridging any of these. They are righteously indignant at any such move, and should they not be they would be further debarred and for all time. President Wilson's sliding scale of citizenship is not liked. It is strange that such a brainy white man should be built up one so sidelight. Education broadens, it is said, and so we are made to think. But in some cases it seems to run upwards. The world loves to think of great big men, whose spiritual nature corresponds with the intellectual. In this respect it, we think, is disappointed in Mr. Wilson. He affects to be careless as to whether he succeeds himself, and similarly to some extent this is his greatest障碍. A strong mind is almost blasphemous when it comes to his disregard of the Negroes. Had they asked a place in his Cabinet or ministership to any of the great countries, we could well understand why he would put his foot down on it. And yet Negroes are citizens and entitled to any consideration paid any other man. But they merely ask to go as they have been, moving about at Washington, in the offices of the government, the country's offices and elsewhere. Notice!

GLEANINGS FROM THE NEW LINCOLN THEATRE For the variety bill of last week, the New Lincoln Theatre presented artists and photo-pictures of a sterling character. Among the Colored artists who appeared to good advantage were Stamper and James, a team possessing more than ordinary ability. Miss James was interestingly effective in her delivery of a parody on "I Didn't Want To Do It" and made quite a success in her imitations of the famous Bert Williams in songs and eccentric dances. The important feature to this act, however, was in "Walking The Dog." Mr. Stamper for his part displayed some very uncommon and invigorating dancing. During the latter part of the week this house presented one of the best vaudeville bills that it has had during the entire year. Venable and Clifford (Mother and son), offered brand new and popular songs with novelty dance steps which were genuinely appealing. Mrs. Venable, who is of small stature and extremely graceful and lithe, kept her auditors highly entertained with really excellent singing and dancing for the full fifteen minutes of the act. The clever team composed of Demos Jones and Ella Ross, put their novelty singing, talking and dancing act over with a bang! There is a certain amount of cheerfulness which this team puts in their act that makes it actually catching. They each sing songs in wonderful singing voices and do some dancing which is quite out of the ordinary. More than everything else, Jones & Ross' biggest success was made through the cleanness of their act. They never once while playing the New Lincoln, stopped to the "suggestive" to secure applause. The calibre of their act made it unnecessary. It was left to the Lafayette Theatre management to show the New Yorkers something really NEW. With only two days in which to advertise this new venture, two days, mind you, to make known to the largest Colored population in the United States their intentions, this theatre pulled an overwhelming success in the introduction of a midnight performance given by the Smart Set Company on last Thursday night, securing an attendance which equalled some of the crowds which attended the regular shows. This midnight performance rendered by Messrs. Salem Whitney, Homet Tut, Blanche Thompson and the rest of the Smart Set Company's perfetive solution to the problem of giving all New York an opportunity of witnessing the show. The success of this innovation made as a temporary accommodation to the theatre-going public was astounding however, that it is more than likely to become a fixed policy with the managers of this house, when in the future they present a successful production. The Colored people of this city continue to respond in overflowing numbers to the beckon of drama productions as presented by the Quality Amusement Company's Colored players, evidencing through such responses just appreciation and enthusiasm for their successful attempts to present a more educational form of the theatricals. This week's production of "The Family's Cupboard," which is at the Lafayette International rated nature as sensation as did "Madam Xi." The first day's matinee turned people away not only for the reason that the house had sold every seat, but because the crowd of people who were standing inside were so large that to let more enter would have been a direct violation of the New York fire laws. SAINT PETER AND THE ROYAL GIANT. He stood without the pearly gates, No glance could eer be sweeter, As all expectant and prepared He smiled at Old Saint Peter. "What have you done?" Saint Peter asked. The while his keys jingled. "No one but men of consequence Among my crowd have mingled." The applicant just cleared his throat And answered quite in reason, "I made ten home-runs down below, And all in this last season." "My average now beats all the rest, I've not struck out but once, although I don't suppose that mattered." He edged up closer to the gate, He now was most defiant. Said he, "You've simply got to let me in, For I'm a Royal Giant." Saint Peter grinned, then clapped his hand, Upon the Royal's shoulder, Said he, "You'll wear a crown of gold Before you're any older." "If you're a Royal Giant, why, Your heaven has now begun, And I am mighty, give me the hae You've made your last home-run." -Edna Perry Booth. Dedicated to Charles Babcock Earle.

It is small, soft and pliable and positively cannot be detected through 6. The soft, pliable hands hold the Appliance do not give one the pleasant sensation of wearing nausea.

JAMES AND STOVALL RETURN EN GAGEMENT-PAYING TO PACK ED HOUSES-AT THE WASHING TON THEATRE THIS WEEK.

Standing room only each night. The company comes back with a stunt called "The best to be seen by Colored performers." James is fine in his character of a James also Colored gentleman from St. Augustine, Fla. He is an artist of the "makin' up" art, not to speak of the "makeup" work. He works this week stumps him as a standard performer, whom one would be pleased to see more than once in a performance. On his splendid "make up" and work, Stovall, who has already been re-recited, funnels of comedians, outclasses his work of last week. His Monday night's work was simply great. On Tuesday he omitted many of the good lines of the dog stunt. Really, he did not know how good he would like to do. The whole show from beginning to end was full of happy and interesting news, and the news that the sold ten newspapers to the Colored colonel and which contained news of himself. A fine, successful attraction, full of ironicness, depending purely on merit to win. NOTES FROM WOOTEN'S BON TON SHOW (By L. Walton.) NOTES FROM A. A. WRIGHT'S BAND WITH SPARKS' SHOWS.

Draws a Full House at the Grand—"Jaz" Singers, Dancers and Players Assist Her. Estelle Harris, late of Billy King's company, who can now claim to be the greatest American stage artist, made her first appearance at the Grand last Monday evening as a vauduelle star, and made a joint appearance. The house was full and people were lined up for both performances. She was assisted by the singer, duo Boss Overstreet, the pianist and composer, Miss Harris, who wore a costume of a white dress and wore her songs: "Alabama Tango Band," "Happy Shout," and "New Dance That everybody in all by Mr. Overstreet, Anna Holt, who was in good voice, sang two songs, Etta Gross danced cleverly and the band did not need to flip flop, were good numbers, including the string musicians, Sam Arnold, Matt Harris and Kawana Japs, foot jugglers; the Kuehns, a double voice man, good in support, in a skiffle last half of last week retained "The Ten Dark Nights", a face comedian, and little Gilbert Hickens, the comical boy. Besides Henderson Smith other musicians are, Mopin weaving contingent, the weakling Indian, clever ability and a kid's voice in addition, and the girl is also a good actress.

Bryant Recital at Olivet. Theodore P. Bryant gave another one of his chamber recitals at Olivet and I dropped in on the middle of the program, "Ah Love But a Day" and "You Walk," and "I Love Sickness" and "Invictus" showed that his baritone, lacking in sweetness, never added on moreplicity of expression, which is indeed his duet with Goosette, a good light tenor, highly educated, forced him to play Goosette gave two organ numbers and was a good accompanist, assisted by T.

The Musical Millers Family opened well this house with their stock company The Old Monogram. String Beans and Benbow are on the stage. Benbow shows their burlesque company. I visited Benbow at the back door to make sure I was in the theater. Between a nervous breakdown for fear of a threat of being attacked, I entered Monogram and the back door at the Grand.

Another cab driven by a woman turned and run up on the sidewalk and smashed the United Airlines store window. There is too much speeding since those fast yellow cabs come into play.

Thanking you truly, RASTUS CALLOWAY. Red and Blue Eleven Last Season Pulled Great Throwing Play—Washington and Jefferson Showed What Might Be Done. The wise football coach is he who is paying a great deal of attention to the forward passing attack, a branch of offense which has more possibilities in the way of consistency than most followers of the game believe. As Washington and Jefferson played the short, sharp passing game last season there were few risks and a great many first downs. The ball was thrown from the kicker's position to a man just beyond the line of scrimmage, the ball going straight and true as a bullet. Princeton put this sort of pass to excellent use in the plays leading up to her touchdown against Yale last season. Reggie Brown of Harvard thus describes a new sort of forward pass which Pennsylvania put on in the latter part of the season: "With only the passer in the back field five yards or more back behind a scrimmage line of seven men, the other three players were sent way out into the open field and lined up together parallel to the scrimmage line, extended and one yard behind it. "On signal, just before the snap of the ball, these three men out in the open field jumped up on to the scrimmage line, extended, and three players on the scrimmage line nearest the side line jumped back one yard behind the scrimmage line. The ball was then snapped to the passer, who forward passed far down the field to one of the players who had jumped back of the scrimmage line before the snap. "Before the forward and backward jump of the players there were four men eligible out in the open field to take a forward pass and the opposing defense had to plan to protect against them, but immediately upon the jump three eligible men were transferred to the side toward the side line, which necessitated a quick shifting of defensive responsibility to that side of the field. Unless properly defended against, Ruby Theatre Stock companies write for open dates. Producers for permanent stock let me hear from you A Pair of Singing, Talking and Dancing Comedians Coming your way soon. Now playing the Park Theatre Dallas, Texas. WANTED!

Address mail to "When I Hear that Jaz Band Play" By Eddie Gray and Jerry Joyce By Clarence M. Jones Composer of "One Wonderful Night," "Only You," Etc. the defensive side would find that it was forced to protect against a forward pass to any one of four eligibles with only one man available for the purpose." It will thus be seen what a coach with a constructive mind can do in the way of devising forward pass strategy. There are those who believe that some day a bright coach who has on his eleven an unerring passer and a catcher of the Merilil type is going to present for consideration the unassailable forward pass. The rules committee has shown no desire to interfere with the logical working out of this method of attack, but wishes it to be operated strictly on its merits. The new forward pass rule placed in the book last winter is an earnest of its desire in this respect. This rule stipulates that hereafter guards, tackles and center may not be come eligible to receive the ball simply by dropping a yard back of the line of scrimmage before the ball is put into play. A player occupying any one of these positions is eligible to receive a forward pass provided he is on the end of the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped; provided, also, he is five yards back of the line of scrimmage when play starts. Officials in past years have found it impossible to follow shifting linesmen in their movements, and there is no doubt that very frequently forward passes have been received by men who were not eligible to take them. The new rule will hit some tricky coaches, but will not bother the honest, fair minded instructors at all. Frank Hinkey's lateral pass is not as dead as some persons seem to think. It has its uses and will be used by the leading elevens, will be used to some extent by Yale probably. As the chief vehicle of attack it has grave weaknesses, as the Elis conclusively demonstrated, but Princeton put it to excellent use in the Harvard game, while in the Yale contest only a dropped ball prevented the Tigers from scoring on the lateral throw. Any well coached defense will know how to cope with the play, while at the same time its unexpected use may result in a long gain, if not a score. When in Huntington, W.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 68 A successful man always has enemies, while a neer do well arouses little enmity. The Smart Set in "How Newtown Prepared" broke the house record for attendance at the Lafayette Theater ... The clever productions by the Colored players of the Elite Amusement Park in New York, Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia. The overworked expression, "pretty good for Colored people," has the criticism of these talented players. The Colored *Vaudeville Benevolent Association* has taken a new lease of life. Its spacious and well equipped quarters are the town's own headline performers. It is a place where they can meet, play a friendly game of cards or pool, dismisseinse them in the good old days when Colored show business was in its heyday. With the good ties with James Slater treasurer. The association is on a good financial basis and ready to meet all its obligations. But it has one best bet for Colored performers. Evon Robinson, wife of the celebrated producer and composer, John Lubrie Hill, who died recently, served for Cuba in the company thirty apples. Among the company are many of the best known vaudeville and musical stars, and that they will so delight the islanders with their artistic ability and their department that there be a royal company that the new Colored company that makes the trip to Cuba. Al Walls of Tolliver's Great Shows writes that the company is meeting with success everywhere. The Tolliver aggregation contains more high-quality artists than before assembled with a Colored company. However, this does not constitute Mr. Tolliver's idea of a Colored company, but a bursary underbed in his bonnet. One of these days it will escape and the country will be electrified by the advent of Colored circus. We hope that we may do something to hasten the day, and wish Mr. Tolliver and the members of his great company every succes . . .

Owing to an unprecedented sale of seats for Thursday of the Smart Set's THE METROPOLITAN THEATER MEMPHIS, TENN. (By Single Henry Jines.) This week we seem to be 'Banner' week for this house. The offerings are superior to anything that has played to the house. A. Barrasso, always picks a winner, and from all points of view I can willfully say that this is the best week of the year because the theater-goers in this section are the same as in the large cities—when there is something to see the yare to do, and when later being the finest in the country, but I will say it has a capacity seatage of one thousand, and on Monday we will have dred people turned away who wanted to witness a real show. A. Barrasso makes it very pleasant for the perseverance when playing for him. The orchestra, which consists of six capable musicians, is under the leadership, and will appear in these columns next week, as it seems as if standard acts are hard to secure here, so we are able to have several people employed here whose names will appear in my next issue. The show this week is clean, classy and adds a gingerly touch to A. Barrasso smile this week is as follows: Opening Number. Night Time Down in Dixieland was the curtain raises and takes the steps we appropriate and taking to the eye. This number is like a big production. This show is headed by those two well known gentlemen, Ralphie Johnson, featuring Single Henry Jines, the Koloree Kandy Kid', late star, "Broadway Rastus".

Who recently joined this show, was seen to good advantage in various engagement at the Lafayette, the company was compelled to give a midnight performance to accommodate the many guests attending the matinee and regular night performance. The house was well filled for the midnight show and showcased the attendance in a body of Young Jesse Shipe's Association. More than 150 of the young men who compose this social body attended the white carnation. Their vigorous applause and spontaneous laughter made the performers forget their fatigue, and the best of the three performances. Miss Jemima B Hillman received many compliments for her costume creations seen with "How Newtown Prepared." Miss Hillman's work in this particular line cannot be excelled by any costume designer, but she is growing in favor and demand. The rehearsals for "This Way Out," a musical comedy, by Leigh Whipner are nearing completion. The show will have its first presentation at Gibson's performance, the production will be furnished by the well-known composers, Bob Rickett and Domer Brown. The cast will in attendance be one of the most promising to be one of the musical comedy successes of the season. Unbiased, impartial and intelligent criticism is no doubt beneficial, and an important tool for effective presentation. The majority of Coore performers are inclined to receive all adverse criticism as a "knockout," and assume that the dramatic scene is somewhat motivic for making his criticism. Failure to advertise in a paper or a lack of proper respect for the press representatives often leaves the screen bare, so criticism should ignored. Then there is the young dramatic critic, with a passing knowledge of the theatrical game, who feels necessary to save criticism, whatever of drama, comedy or music that comes within his notice, that the publisher appreciates of his ability as a critic. But after all the critic is but one person, and the criticism is his perseverance, he pennsens agents for advertising a show in advance, but all the favorable criticism they can have is not if the show fails to please the public. So after all, it is the general public that the producer of a show successes that ever played Philadelphia was severely condemned by every draughtsman who prevailed dogs was of feats, but it proves that when the public sees an entertainment it feels capable of financial success of any show depends upon a favorable verdict, not from the critic, but from the theater-going public. parts of the entire performance, and was ably assisted by the entire cast of the show to Mary Daniels at the New Queen Theater, Birmingham, Ala., also Charlezette McCann ams.

There were some clever bits of communication by neglecting to outline situations and build around them. This act was pretty fair, but could have been better, perhaps by neglecting to outline situations and build around them. The finale was "America," I love You," with feature effects, such as the "Goddess of Liberty," in center and left, and the "Migrant Soldier," with a "Mexican Soldier" to the left, which rounded out cheers of applauses.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA PHILADELPHIA. (By J. H. Gray.) It will be difficult for manager Gibson to excel the bill which he presented to Smith and Mills full of fun and action opened the show; a novelty act that was appreciated was the offering of cigars, and Mills duggold, the girl with the elastic face. Their eccentricities were enjoyable in the extreme, but the cigars and Mills duggold, the girl with the elastic face. Their new songs, "Who came along?" and "Who come along?" created much merriment and caught on immediately. Miss Ringgold created more laughs to the minute than any other actress on the stage when Watts was a smoker from Smokerville, smoking three cigars at one time, and then took them out lit and commenced smoking again. It was a meritorious telling points failed of proper emphasis as they soon became favorites. They went on to acrobatics, the three Herbert Brothers all around acrobats, in daring feats in their artistic pantomime creation furnished thrills which electrified the crowd. Tolliver and Chappelle a clever couple, were prime favorites in their new book, and danced and danced. They had plenty of diversion in the course of their act which was new stuff. The imitation of Chick-fil-A man and their exemplification of the Hawaiian Hula-Hula in costume was heartily enjoyed. Deas and Reed in sensational comedy and eccentric dancing kept everybody in good humor as they knew what the characters were doing. The Angels Doll enthused everybody. The Whitman sisters, Essie, Mae, Alberta and Baby Alice, offered a pretend musical comedy which gave them vast opportunities to amuse the patrons, young men. It was one continuous feast, merriment. The girls were graceful and looked pretty in their new frocks and turtlenecks, "I want a man to keep me" and "Honey two step" were a scream.

Ing topic ever since the featherweight champion polished off George Chaney. his only rival for the honors of bis class. Both of these men have disap- pointed so often in their recent bouts that the fans are slow to become en- thusiastic over a no decision affair be. tween the two, but there would be a great deal of interest in a twenty round battle to a decision. In the end New York probably will get the match, for Welsh is too shrewd to risk his crown with Kilbane until he has felt the featherweight cham- pion out and discovered how be stands with him, ‘The referee question and the size of the purse are other obsta- cles in the way of a twenty round con. test. If Welsh insists upon selecting his own referee, as usual, no promoter could afford to guarantee the men a large sum, because that might simply make a joke of the whole affair. Kilbane 1s generally conceded to have a better chance of stopping Welsh than any other man who could be se- lected, Kilbane would be outweighed by many pounds, of course, for, though he often fights at 130 pounds, his very best fighting weight is at the feather- weight limit. On the other hand, he is almost as tall as Welsh, and there is not much difference in thelr reach. ‘The important feature is that Kilbane is by far the better hitter, Kilbane ts just as good a ring gen- eral and fs much faster. His detense fs not quite as complete as that of Welsh, but that is merely because Welsh devotes all his time to covering and playing safe, Kilbane fs no mark for any one, but he is willing to take any reasonable chance in order to land solidly when the occasion requires such tactics. No real bitter can avoid ev- erything that comes bis way. 34th & South Wabash Ave, Douglas 9997 New in Chicago For Wife, Mother or Daughter Recommended by Press and Pulpit F. C. Brown, Prop.

That is what {t has done. ‘The players have objected to decisions and still do it, but they complain tame- ly and afterward go about their busi ness. Umpires likewise show an improve- ment since they received word that they will be upheld. Apparently the verdict of the league has given them more confidence, for they make thelt decisions instantly and with the al that they are always right. None of the aggressiveness or spirit has been extracted from the sport be cause of Tener’s ruling. If anything the game Is played with more zest ‘The players concentrate their minds on their work instead of on the de cisions of the arbiters. ‘They hustle just the same, knowing that when 4 verdict is given it is rendered fairly.
