THE INNER - GRAND RATTLE JAMES LOWE, AN IMPRESSION An Artist Who Found Himself After Years of Wanderlust JAMES LOWE is an actor. He has played many parts both on the legitimate stage and before the motion picture camera. We have not yet had an opportunity to see him on either stage or screen but we have seen and talked with him out of character. We venture the opinion that he has seldom enacted a story more absorbing than his life, and never portrayed a character more vivid than his own. covers less than half a decade. Less than five years ago he was a $5 a day "extra", performing odd bits around the lots and sometimes risking his life in daring comedy stunts. Before that he was—well most everything. He is a tailor by trade and still thinks of himself as a tailor. But, although he does not admit it, there is a streak of the romantic in him that would not let him be satisfied in that prosaic trade. He is a spiritual gypsy, charged with a wanderlust that kept him roving from place to place until he had covered the vast North American Continent from the tropics to the Yukon. And a great deal of that wandering was devoted to the most romantic of callings—he was a mining prospector. HE WAS on the way to the Yukon country, making a second trip there, when fate collared him, turned his face toward the location lots of Hollywood and told him to step off. While roaming about the continent he had lost touch with his family. While waiting in Seattle for passage north he heard that his mother and a sister were living in Los Angeles and decided to visit them. It was during that visit that he got a chance to work at the profession for which he was born. ALTHOUGH HE had never attempted any professional acting, nor dreamed that he ever would, he was not unprepared for the work. He had always been a reader and a thinker with a decided leaning toward glamorous characters of the stage. One of his most vivid memories, he says, is Sir Henry Irving's performance of "Robespiere." His prospector's kit always contained a few books and he committed numerous dramatic passages to memory, and at times when he was alone in the moun- NEATLY FURNISHED apartment to sub-let.

He had all so taken part in amateur recitals and readings in various parts of the country. More than all this he is a born artist; and when he began to work in the Hollywood studios all he needed was stage and camera presence and drill in technique. HE OBTAINED the pricking of needed playing "extras" and minor roles in pictures in which Mr Murray, Corrine Griffith and other prominent stars were featured This tuition cost him dear, for laying the shooting of "Tumblessed" a Wm. S. Hart feature, Mr. Lovell was thrown by a wild man and his arm was broken in three places. This part of the picture was subsequently deleted. WHILE HE was employed in "super" roles for the screen he was doing more important work on the legitimate stage. The four Boilers, an esthetic club part into a part in "Failures," and his work was so impressive that he was subsequently elected to membership in the club. He became a member of the executive staff, and after the club decided to produce "The Emperor Jones" he was assigned to the leading role. California critics declare his portrayal of the character surpassed that of Charles S. Gilpin. WE ARE included to consider Lowe's work with the Pot Bottles the most important of his works up to this time. Mr. Lowe does not think so.

As for the other surprises promised by the Savoy people, we'll have to wait a while as we were unable to make Messrs. Buchanan and Parker open up. Charlie Buchanan just grinned that aggravating grin of his and said, "Just wait a while and we'll tell you in good time." Harold Parker was even less larconic. Harold just shook a finger and smiled that igmatic smile of his, that's almost as aggravating as Buchanan's grin. So we'll have to wait.

C. Hutchinson Opens New Recreation Academy for Bowling and Billiards at 685 Lenox Avenue, Northwest Corner 144th Street This new Recreation Academy is one of the most magnificent features of Harlem. It surpasses anything of its kind in the country and is a credit to its proprietors, and to the entire race. For the first time in the history of our people, these two fascinating forms of amusement, BOWLING and BILLIARDS, are placed at the disposal of our public on so lavish a scale and with so high a standard as to excel anything now to be found on Broadway. On first entrance, our patrons gasp, in admiration and astonishment at the sight afforded by 10,000 square feet of space unobstructed by a single post, devoted to the most luxurious and expensive Bowling Alleys and Billiard Tables that money can buy. The very size and arrangement of the Academy calls forth admiration. Imagine an immense room, 100 ft. long, and 100 ft. wide, affording 10,000 square feet of amusement space! Not a column, not a post, interferes with the view. A lofty domed roof, supported by immense arches, gives an air of spacious charm to the whole interior. At the same time, the domelike roof supplied with many skylights sends forth light and air to every corner of the magnificent hall. Numerous windows admit sunlight during the day, and in the evenings a marvelous electric lighting system, specially designed by an Edison engineer for the Academy, transforms night into day. The walls and ceiling are most tastefully decorated. Green foliage, most restful to the eye, extends from arch to arch, which support the roof. Could anyone desire a more charming and enjoyable a place to spend a delightful evening? Hutchinson's Recreation Academy This new Recreation Academy is scientifically planned to give our public healthful amusement. Do not confuse it with the old-fashioned, cheap amusement places of disrepute. The whole environment promotes the true sporting spirit, which aims to combine recreation with health. Unlike most Bowling Alleys which are located in ill-ventilated basements, these alleys are situated one flight up, in attractive pleasant surroundings. Young and old alike may enjoy a quiet game of Pocket Billiards or Carom Billiards, and then complete the evening's enjoyment by a more strenuous hour of exercise and sport on the elegant Bowling Alleys. Excellent ventilation, and splendid lighting in the meanwhile, have aided in perfecting the recreation afforded. To add to the comfort of the patrons, refreshments of all kinds may be purchased. Sporting New Sporting News COLORED JOCKEY WHIPS WHITE BOY AT BELMONT Two Boys Battle Desperately in Whip Duel As Horses Race to Barrier in Steeplechase Race The thousands of race goers who attended Belmont Park last Monday were given an extra thrill in the second race, a steeplechase event of two miles for three year old fillies, when Dave Holley, colored gave battle to A. Williams, a white rider. Holley was on the odds on favorite, Thomas Hitchcock's Lipingo, and Williams rode a long shot, Canterbury, owner by Bayard Warren. Holley, after a listless side for more than four fifths of the race, suddenly came to life in the closing stretch. He lifted his mount and made his bid for victory. Then something happened, but as yet, nobody has been able to discover just what. Holley reached out and struck the white boy, who was close up, a blow with his whip and from there on the two savagely fought as the fillies battled it out on their own hook, with the long shot getting the verdict by a questionable decision of the stewards. It was a disgraceful spectacle and the more so because the best horse at the weights was beaten when. Holley, after a poorly judged ride, gave way to his temper without thought of the main job at hand - the job of winning. He was punished by the stewards, who suspended him for the rest of the meeting and referred his case to the stewards of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association for further action if deemed advisable. The stewards, however, considered Holley the aggressor and let Williams off with a reprimand.

Friday, September 16, 1927 LIFE and ART THIS vacation has been the ad- venturers’ paradise. That is, in so far as the brave spirit finds joy in daring and adventurous pursuits. It has been particularly so for avia- tion and the followers of this great calling ONE who is not particular in line with this type of daring, stands in wonder at the great nerve and dar- ing of some men, who risk life and iverything for the one purpcse of reaching a certain goal, which in the eyes of the rest of %s may not seem to be so much worth reaching, after all. But life in the final an-, alysis is all together colored by the goass through which we are Icok- ing and what is one man’s meat and drink is another's poison. 1 HAVE looked at. some of thesy pilots in the movie news reels just prior to their starts on daring flights across unknown wastes of water and atmosphere, and hays always wondered what it was or is that impelled these men forward. In a like manner when Lindy made his wonderful triumph, I realized full well what this young man hel done and the great tension of nerve and muscle and brain that had been required to bring this thing to pass, yet I could not just see why it was necessary in the first place. s THE press and the more thought- ful friends tell us of course that transoceanic aviation must come and that these sacrifices are neces- sary to find out how it is to be done snd what methods are necessary to effect. this great stride forward. And then our uncertainty is some ' what. lessened. LIFE is a great paradox indeed. ' nm one instanee life is very dear, ind jn the same instance it is very ; ‘heap. “A legion will put forth un- yrecedented efforts to save one life, y vhich is in’ some sort of danger, . ind will Jand another to the sky s vho flings his life into the face of : ate, . JAMES LOWE (Continued from Page 2) part in the two-million dollar Uni- versal film “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. Most people, we suppose, will agree with him. Certainly , a tre- mendously larger audience will see him in that vehicle and it will gain him national if not world-wide publicity. THE Rockefeller Institute will go on year in and year out finding means to save life, and the scien. tists of the War Department will go on finding newer and greater means of destroying life. We say in our hearts that life is sweet and priceless and we utter in the same breath that we will die for a mere idea. What a Paradox! OF course the more thoughtful scientists will come forward with the view that no life is ever de- strcyed, that things only change states and that what was in the be- ginning is now and ever shall be. Yes, this seems reasonable, but is personality, individuality, nothing? Are you so anxious to lose our identity? ‘To fling into the face of the eternal force that formed u3 the very essence of the flower that has been formed from the elements ef its composition. IN other words, what is man striving for? Progress! Yes, pro- gres3 is ever the one single motive of the teeming tribes of men, and their progeny. But progress to- ward what? One can progress to- ward extinction. Do the races and, tribes of men, encrouch upon one another, so that there are at times extinction of one group and the survival of another group, which in lhe nature of the thing must %e fermed fittest? What then of the strivings and the hopes and the ‘cars of the unfortunate group that 1as been thus extinguished? Has he Cosmos no soul? Do we work or a continual progress that holds othing of worth from a standpoint f individual enjoyment? THIS is the German and Japan- se idea, that the individual is but re creature of the state, and that hatever sacrifice is to be made], yr the state is the one sole pur-f, ose and reason for existence.

While in Europe he will visit Eng: land and France and then push or to Germany where he will meet Roland Hayes. LIKE SEVERAL million picture fans we are eagerly looking for ward to the time when we can see Mr. Lowe in Universal’s release of “Uncle Tom.” Like a smaller but, we believe, more ‘discriminating audience we are hoping to see him in Porgy or Deep River, another American stage play in which he has been offered a part. More fort- unate than these, we have enjoyed the prévilege of seeing him in the natural flesh. As he wrote in the ‘beginning he has a far more vivid character than any he has been called on to portray before camera or audience. WHILE CONVERSING with him we easily understood why the Po: Boilers readily slected him to mem- bership iu their club. Themselves men rich in esthetic feeling they recognized him as a kindred spirit. Within the actor, the mere skillful performer of stage tricks, one quickly perceives the philosopher and dreamer. It is the eternal questioning of the philosopher in him which inspires his wanderlust. It is also the source of his urge to act. The restlessness in his blood that impels him to move his body to far off places is akin to the itch | of the spirit that prompts him io explore the recesses of alien souls. That is what all significant acting is. The actor searches the minds of the characters he portrays as the traveler seeks to discover the mysteries of strange and distant lands. James Lowe is the perpetu- ul seeker. HIS UNREMITTING quest for he significant, the poigmant and he unrealized has woven itself in he fibre of his being.

Jimmy Walker's first move after arriving here several days ago, was to visit Josephine Baker's night club, where the vivacious bronze beauty greeted him with characteristic Southern dialect slang: "Well' if it ain't the Mayor of Harlem," was Josie's greetings as she grasped the Honorable Jimmy's hand in a hearty welcoming grasp. The Mayor gave the reporters assigned to cover his activities a merry chase during the past few days as he sought old friends sojourning in the big French Metropolis. They spent many a wild hour and many more Francs in taxi-fare trying to locate the ever roaming Jimmy. They arrived just a few minutes after Jimmy had left Miss Baker's establishment but knew by the genial Josephine's roguish smile that the big boss of New York City had been there. "Yes," said Josephine, "the Mayor just left after meeting my friends here and we all think he's a prince." Then, pausing a moment, continued, "I introduced him as the Mayor of Harlem, but I'm sure he didn't take offense at my mistake. You see, Harlem is all New York to members of my race." Miss Baker is the spectacular young lady who recently startled the world by announcing her marriage to an Italian Count. Josephine came here from her beloved Harlem a little over two years ago and won instant fame and favor by her unique comedy mannerisms in her theatrical engagements. RUTH L. and Marion S. will have to move to New York. Getting up at 5 and 6 a. m. in the morning to make trains won't go so well this winter. WHAT'S the matter with Genavee? She's all right. I don't see why people don't keep their doors closed Sunday mornings. And that's a wise crack. LUCILLE L. are you still receiving your phone calls every morning? Tell those parties that send you flowers to send string beans or spinach. We find more use for those. Notice that "we?" JIMMY S. why don't you try and be on time once in a while? Young gentlemen should never make ladies wait on corners if they expect to be late,—especially married ladies. Excuse it, please. UTUMN approaches. The near end of nightingales' swan songs is just a whisper away. Green grass and leafy trees now to be found in rare locations of the great cemented spaces will soon be but a memory. Our own children and those of our neighbors, who have innocently or otherwise provided sidewalk nuisances and auto drivers with thrills, are already parked in brain building emporiums, assuring for a few hours a day at least "safety" for peace loving pedestrians. But still society moves swiftly and charmingly on. Page 10 MRS. Bertha Joyce was the charming hostess at one of the most enjoyable parties of the season, during the early part of last week. The party was given as a surprise to Mr. William Lee, her cousin, in honor of his birthday, at his beautiful apartment at 1980 7th avenue. The guests assembled at 10. Dancing, whist and "500" were the amusements of the evening and at midnight a beautiful birthday cake was cut and served with a delicious supper.

PETT PHILADELPHIA OFFICE CLUB PARREE OPENS THE Club Paree, located at 16th street and Lombard streets, formally the "Cinderella Inn", newly decorated, opened its doors to the public amusement seekers of Philadelphia on Labor Day evening. Every seat of the more than 250 was occupied and the gay throng made the opening one of the most auspicious in the memory of the old rst nighters. William (Daddy) Rudd is manager and Harry Coyne is proprietor. Olga Wright, Viola Halloway, Marie Moore and Oscar Howard comprise the entertainment staff whilst Cliffs Arcadians, dispensers of real jazz music, kept the gay amusement seekers on their loes throughout the evening. JUST FOR FUN POLITICALLY speaking, the dark horses in the race, meaning race for nomination, are too numerous to mention. Everything seems to hinge on the organization indorsement. OFFERS of three to one that (Daddy) Wright gets the indorsement for magistrate are being offered with plenty of money in sight around the Leftridge Buliding. FOLLOWERS of Magistrate Henry are offering to bet a million that the indorsement goes to the present holder of office with no money in sight. ACCORDING to F. Grant Gilmore, somebody played him a dirty trick. They waited until he went to N. Y. C. to try and get his candidate to withdraw THE joke of it was Casselle. According to Gilmore, Casselle he didn't know what to do when pressure was brought to bear so he left town until such time as he could be advised by Gilmore. TOM Swann, the dean of them all, voiced his opinion thusly: Oh Well, they don't know. Had they asked me to get him off, I would have asked them for something and that something would have run well up into the figures. WHEN asked point blank who was the man, Doc Lewis started to talk of the economic conditions of Atlantic City and of the record run that he had just made coming up in the old Hudson. The little group disbanded much enlightened after his talk. Believe me, Charlie knows his onions. No. 40 down Lombard and out South. --- CLERKSHIPS are being promfreely. About five trailers have referred to themselves as the next clerk of Magistrate Court. WILLIAM says we ought to have a colored magistrate in there and I am for Charles Fred, but I am afraid that he will be right so often and prove it so conclusively that they will put him right out again. PHIA SECTION TUS, Dist. Mgr. ICE: 1026 S. 17th STREET MITTEN MERRY HIT A P. B THE Mitten Me group of 35 race m the direction of Pr was one of the ori WONDER if a copy of the picture of the young Democratic Club made some time ago on the Douglass Hospital steps, could be had for reproduction. SAM Brown, as always, is right up in there. "More of Moore," or something like that seems to be paramount in his mind. IF the time wasn't so short we would suggest the forming of a candidate's league and let the boys play mass meetings around the circuit, making Casselle president of the league and Carl Warrick, Umpire-in-Chief. ALL of the games could be played according to the Marquis of Queensbury rules. MUD for slinging purposes could be kept out of the parks. JOHN Gatling is so darn previous that he is already planning a street parade for Henry, copy for signs reading something like this, "Henry the Man," "All Hail, the Conquering Hero Comes," "When better records are made, Henry will make them." etc. MERCER. grits his teeth and says, -?* -e*- , He shall not pass. And then the fun began. JOE Sherrell sits back and sings "I am looking at the World through Stockyard colored glasses and every thing is Bully Now." WE, yes we-us, wants to know why Selma C. played the window seat, jam up, in the Strand, Thursday night. Harold W., must have her, water on. WHAT happened to the Playboy so soon?
