THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 47, A MUSICAL TREAT Last Monday night was a grand festival of Negro Music, using young and old, trained and untrained, but willing minds and determined spirits, to fill out a great chorus, under direction of Mr. George L. Johnson, Music Organizer, Playground and Recreation Association of America. He demonstrated his skill to organize, discover and train, because in a few weeks he had a chorus ready to entertain Wichita, and did credit to the occasion. Invitation was given to all who were interested in their community to take part. Mrs. Etoile Ballard, Mrs. Carrie Gay and Miss Watheir Cunningham were the accompanists and were at their best, with efficient service. Arthur Gosset No. 273, American Legion, and Wichita Park and Playgrounds Department are responsible for this evening of entertainment at the Forum. Before the raising of the curtain, one could hear the echoes of "Steal away To Jesus," led by Mrs. Yancy. When the curtain was raised, we found them in prayer, "Thy Will Be Done," led by Mr. Geo. L. Johnson and effectively sung by the choirs; "America" made us think of what a great country this is and protection it promises, while, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," told of the struggles the Negro is having to get this protection and rights. All enjoyed the "Hymn To Night" a Tenor Solo by Mr. Johnson, whose sweetness of tone charmed every soul in every number. "Listen To The Lambs," by the chorus brought out the cries of a struggling people Miss Mildred Griffin sang the solo part with solemn sweetness, "Blind Man Stood On The Road and Cried," was also sung by Miss Griffin with intense feeling. A Glee Club of select voices furnished a harmonious background whie Miss Laura Anderson sang, "To A Wild Rose," using her upper register to the surprise of her friends. With feeling Mrs. Mattle Copeland sang, "Poor Me." The audience went wild with aplauses when the Afro-American Quartet appeared. They sang, "Better Days Will Come Again," and "I Found a Horse Shoe," So completely did they captivate the audience until they had to give three encores: "Old Time Religion," "Old Ship of Zion" and "Sunshine Brings The Morn." Solo, "Bells of The Sea" by Mr. Homer Perry was enjoyed by all; "Goin' Home" sang by the Community Glee Club, Solo line by Mrs. Priscilla Williams, was sweetly rendered. "Song of The Heart," presented Miss Luverna Hall at her best. The applause brought an encore. "He Loved Her." "Swing Along" by chorus, was wonderful in its effect on the audience. "Let Me Ride," led by Miss Mildred Griffin and "Deep Down In My Heart" were deep in their harmony and thought. The audience was again charmed with two solos, "Rocky Road" and "Because" sung by Mr. George L. Johnson. The evening entertainment closed with "Been Down To The Sea" and Swing Low Sweet Charlot," latter led by Mrs. Copeland. The people are expressing themesles as well pleased and plans are on to have Mr. Johnson return another season. The Chorus was uniformly dressed; the ladies wearing all white and the men in black suits. --- Leavenworth News, INDEPENDENT BAPT. CHURCH REV. B. J.

TAMMANY AFRAID TO HAVE NEGRO DELEGATES (Prenton News Service) NEW YORK, Feb. 23—Fearing that the presence of a Negro delegate from New York at the Democratic National Convention in Houston, Tex., next July might harm the chances of Governor Al Smith in the South, has caused the Tammany chieftains to decide against the 1924 policy of Negro delegates. It is said that the decision was made on the advice of southern democratic leaders friendly to the candidacy of Governor Smith. It is said that northern democrats generally are not favorable to the idea, as they have been working like trojans for a heavy Negro vote, especially in Harlem in the past years. They pointed out that the Republicans have already decided to select a Negro delegate from the twenty-first district of New York and also a Negro alternate. New York democrats claim this change of froni will seriously hurt the party's future and declare it is an unwise move politically, at 10 a.m. m. with officers present; les- sion well explained by teachers, re- viewed by Pastor.

HONORS TO ATTUCKS OBSERVANCE OF "CITIZENSHIP FOUNDATION DAY" SUGGESTED BOSTON, MASS., Feb. 18, 1928—Following close upon Douglass Day, for public honors to a historic Colored American who wrought great benefit for his own race the National Equal Rights League and Race Congress of America today made public the text of an appeal to the race to observe "Attucks Day," or "Citizenship Foundation Day," on Monday, March 4th, in honor of Crispus Attucks, first martyr of the founding of the United States, thus doing public honor whereby we could show white Americans what great benefit a man of our race wrought for them. For cumulative effect the League recommends that again resolutions be adopted against federal segregation and for the enforcement of the 14th Amendment, to end the national scandal of still holding the race alone of the country's first martyr to national formation and independence, subject to lynching and disfranchisement in and by the southern states thereof and to segregation by the national government itself. These resolutions are to be sent to the seat of the national government, the former to Pres. Coolidge, the latter to Congress, state delegations, and members of the steering committee of the House with a copy of Rep. Tinkham, author of the resolve for reduction of southern representation, also copies given to daily press. Kans. Vocational School Mr. M. C.

The amount apportioned to the Churches to be pald monthly or quarterly to the State ‘office, the monthly or quarterly plan prefera- able because the State obligations are due monthly. For instance, if 25 churches give $5.00 each monthly, itm $125.00, and 25 churches give $3.00 each monthly it means $75.00, and 75 churches give $200 each monthly, ft menns $150.00, This would give the Convention $350 00 to meet her ieguler monthly obligations and reoney to apply on National Conven- 3 = tmauirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Of- ficers give this your hearty support? The Pastor. as God's Keyman, please rerd this letter to the Church and lad them forth In this much needed ee * eth Oe SRC SS a “bo and Lutiness-lke plan for our Con- vention.
