VOL. XXVII No. 51. BANK IN MOUND BAYOU CLOSED Bank Examiner Stops Business on Technicality while Cashier Is Absent Examiner States there Were no irregularities in the Management but He Was not Satisfied with Collateral. NO APPEAL FROM DECISION Receiver Appointed for Masonic Benefit Association which Had Paid to Widows and Orphans $300,000 in Four Years—Both Companies to Reorganize. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE MOUND BAYOU, Miss., Sept. 15.—On August 19 the State Banking Commissioner ordered the doors of the Mound Bayou Bank, Chas, Banks, founder and cashier, closed for liquidation, because of dissatisfaction with the character of the securities representing the bank's collateral. The examiner announced that there were no irregularities in the management of the institution, but the securities represented Negro industry and Negro enterprises, covering for the most part the progress of the Negro town, and when realized upon would be covered by Negro money; therefore, for his purpose and according to his rule, they were not worth while. This action was taken in the absence of Mr. Banks, who was attending the session of the National Negro Business League. The examiner found, $40,000 in deposits and $9,000 in cash and sight exchange. The banking department of the State is clothed with absolute authority and there is no appeal from its decisions, so there was no recourse. Masonic Benefit Association Suspended The bank was founded eleven years ago and has been a potent factor in the development of Mound Bayou. It assisted in the industrial growth of the community, added an acreage of 30,000 acres, and acted as the fiscal agent of hundreds of the people in this section. Under the new banking law of Mississippi more than one hundred banks have been closed. The Mound Bayou Bank more nearly withstood the pressure than any of the others and many of the leading bankers of the State have expressed the opinion that it should not have been closed by the Banking Commissioner. A week after the bank was closed the Insurance Commissioner appointed a receiver for the Masonic Benefit Association, the pioneer Negro Insurance company of which Charles Banks was secretary and treasurer. Under the new law in Mississippi dealing with the operation of judgments, Mr. Banks found impossible to meet the judgments and pay the new taxes. The assessments collected were not sufficient for that purpose, so he had to ask for the appointment of a receiver. In four years Banks has paid out $30,000 to widows and orphans and at the same time reduced the indebtedness from $250,000 to less than $10,000. S. D. McNair, the receiver, in an address to the employees of the association, said that he had not found the slightest irregularity in the accounts or management, with the office handling approximately $150,000 yearly. Mr. Banks had done better, he said, than anybody else could have done, and ought to be praised, not blamed. No Reflection on Charlie Banks. In the unfortunate days which have come upon these two organizations there is no shadow or reflection upon the good name or business ability of Chas. Banks. Isaiah T. Monagometry, the founder of Mound Bayou, B. H. Creswell, the mayor, and Dr. W. P. Kyle, president of the Bank of Mound Bayou, are full of confidence and are heartily and sincerely co-operating with Mr. Banks in his efforts for the rejuvenating of the defunct institutions. Banks built the $100,000 oil mill, made the $100,000-ice plant a fact, formed the mercantile company, in which he is the largest stockholder, and it was through his efforts the bottling works and steam laundry became actualities. He was also the instrumentality in securing the beautiful Carnegie Library for the town. Investments in Mound Bayou are in no danger. All enterprises and industries are solid and safe. Another bank will be operated in Mound Bayou, for already the business people have made overtures to Mr. Banks to organize another bank. There will be another benefit association for the masons, with rules and regulations changed to conform to the new insurance law, and the windows and orphans of the masonic dead will be cared for as in the past.

The women's auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention convened Wednesday, September 9, at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Mrs. S. W. Layton, president, in charge. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of Washington, D. C., made her annual report in which she said that we should have better church and home life among our people. She warned her listeners against slipshod preachers and declared that no good comes from the hundreds of churches which spring up like mushrooms under the direction of a preacher who can make his congregation shout and scream as if a nest of hornets had been let loose among them. Miss Eliza E. Peterson of Texarkana, Texas, lectured Sunday evening on the abolition of the liquor traffic, which was followed by jubilee singing. From Jersey City, N. J. From Oakland, Calif. From Auburn, N. Y. CONCRETE EXAMPLES OF PROGRESS IN OKLAHOMA A Few of the Many Who Have Started with Practically Nothing and Achieved Prosperity by Application and Sound Business Judgment. (By William Anthony Aery.) Foray Tom Watson watermelons, ranging in weight from forty-five to sixty-two pounds, recently attracted and held my attention in Muskogee. Okla, while I was passing through the splendid agricultural and industrial exhibit that had been arranged as a supplement or accessory to the meetings of the fifteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League. Fred Hawkins, a young, slim, dark-skinned Negro of East Muskegee, who is a share tenant, working a dozen acres of rich Arkansas bottom land, raised these melons. He was as proud of his achievement, expressed in luscious watermelons, as any man might be of a rich painting, a beautiful symphony, or a busy factory, which was his own. Hawkins was born thirty years ago in Indian Territory. When he was a mere child he lost his mother and father and was brought up, along with one sister, in a small town in Arkansas, were ignorant of book-learning, taught him to work, to save and to be honest. For two terms Hawkins attended the Orphan Home School on Old Agency Hill, which is on the outskirts of Muskegee. Hawkins is making hundreds of dollars for himself, as well as for his "boss man," from his cotton,corn,sweet potatoes—and watermelons. Negroes in Muskogee. Negroes in Muskocee, some 10,000 out of a total population of 35,000, have already made good in business. Edwin ```markdown ``` From Rachel Wis. From Springfield, Mo. From Newark, N. J. S. Monroe, city superintendent of the public schools, who is a broad-minded official, recently presented to the Negro Business League in Convention Hall, where over 4,000 white and black people had assembled to hear the facts of Negro progress, some interesting evidence that he had gathered. In Muskogee County, said Mr. Monroe, Negroes own and control 50,000 acres of valuable agricultural and oil land; Negroes own city real estate in Muskogee that is worth $1,500,000; the Negro business concerns of Muskogee have a value of at least $1,000,000. Here is a partial list of the Negro business enterprises of Muskogee, according to Mr. Monrog: One clothing store for men, 1 drygoods store, 1 ice company, 1 plumbing and plumbing supplies shop, 6 contractors and builders, 12 barber shops, 5 concrete contractors, 50 grocery stores, 4 drug stores, 1 harness shop, 20 restaurants, 8 blacksmith shops, 12 shoe shops, 12 tail shops, 1 dairy, 2 ice cream stores, 10 coal dealers, 2 undertakers, 1 steam laundry, 3 livery stables, 12 real estate brokers, 4 cab lines, 1 moving picture theatre, 1 bottling works. There are 30 Negro preachers, 4 dentists, 4 pharmacists, 14 lawyers, 3 nepicaliologists, 15 Baptist, 6 Methodist, 1 Christian, 1 Episcopal churches, 1 Church of Internal orders, 2 churches in the肌肉学校. Muskogee has four fine schools for its Negro children. The boys of the Manual Training High School did all the carpentry work last year on a strictly modern, six-room cottage, 41 by 47. feet, worth $2,000 and renting for $20 a month. The aggregate value of the Negro schools is $80,000 and 36 Negro teachers are employed in the public schools. Successful Negroes in Oklahoma. J. E. Thompson, of Clearview, Okla, which is one of several prosperous Negro settlements, controls, 5,000 acres of farm land; furnishes employment throughout the year for many members of his race; grows crops that are worth selling and brings the market to his products. The son of a slave woman, he began at the age of thirteen to farm on the half-and-half plan. After, making several good crops as a sharer, he bought 20 acres and then his real struggle commenced. To-day, at the age of fifty-five, Thompson actually owns 1,800 acres. S. J. Favor, of Shiloh, Okla., who came originally from Georgia, started with $1.25 in Oklahoma. To-day he owns 1,400 acres and is a *progressive* From San Antonio, Texas. From Cleveland, Ohio. From Geneva, N. Y. ENGINEER EMPLOYED AS WAITER IN RESTAURANT Investigation by The Age of Industrial Conditions to Open New Avenues CHANCES FOR GETTING WORK Men and Women with Trades and Professions Employed at Other Work Because of Failure to Secure Work for which They Are Trained.

Church, Brooklyn, the Rev. C. P. Coles, pastor, are up in arms because of the action of Pastor Coles in refusing to receive Wayman D. P. Wilson, an expelled member, into the membership of the church on probation. This action was taken last Sunday night at the regular service in the presence of Presiding Elder Walters. Bishop Evans Tyree and the Rev. J. W. Rankin, secretary of missions. It is reported that a great commotion ensued when the members realized that the application of Wilson for reinstatement had been refused by the pastor, many of the members claiming that the discipline of the church calls for the restoration to membership of any expelled person when contrition and confession is followed by application to the church. It is also claimed that anyone can join on probation and that there is no precedent for Pastor Cole's action. The matter was taken up in the meeting of the official board on Tuesday night, according to information received, and members of the board are reported to have declared to the pastor that he had no right to defy church law by refusing to accept Wilson on probation. Wilson's public rejection and humiliation has caused many who were opposed to him to take up the cadgels in his behalf. SAVANNAH HAS NEW SAVANNAF, Ga., Sept. — John W.

LAST WEEK OF BEAUTY CONTEST Judges will have many Types of Beauty from which to Make a Selection of the "CHosen Fifteen." Age Subscriber Cannot Attend Festival at Manhattan Casino, but is Ree Arxious to Obtain Those "Chosen Fifteen" Most Beautiful Girls. This is the last week for entry of photographs in the Beauty Contest conducted by THE AGE and the National Exhibition and Amusement Co., in which the "Chosen Fifteen" most beautiful women of the Negro race will be selected and awarded handsome solid gold prizes. From every section of the country photos are coming, and the indications are that they will continue coming up to the last minute of Monday, September 21, the final day on which they will be received and entered, and possibly there will be some received after that time. The interest excited is country-wide and if every State is not represented certain it is that every section. The Beauty Contest editor has had his hands full in keeping record of the entries, and the judges' task is assuming herculean proportions. But it will be well and capably handled and the verdict will be the result of careful, unbiased action by the jury. As has been stated, the contest will be in connection with the Autumn Festival, which is to be held at Manhattan Center from September to October 2. The contest closes, September 21, and the judges are expected to announce on the nighting of the festival the names of the "Chosen Fifteen", most beautiful women of the Negro race in the United States. In addition a separate award will be made to the one woman chosen by the judges as the most beautiful in New York City or adjacent territory within a radius of 60 miles. The photographs of the "Chosen Fifteen" and of the local beauty will be on exhibition at the Casino on Thursday night, October 1, when all persons attending will receive as a souvenir a handsome folder in which will be printed beautiful half-tonne pictures of the "Chosen Fifteen." Some Interesting Letters Received. Letters received by the Beauty Contest editor show that the most lively interest in the outcome of the contest exists. From Montgomery, Ala., a subscriber to THE AGE writes: "Please inform me how can I obtain those "Chosen Fifteen" beautiful girls? I am real anxious to have them. As I cannot be at the Casino that night, I am awaiting an early reply." Of course, the subscriber did not really mean he wanted the girls; he wants the souvenir production which is to be given away on the night of October 1. Another letter, enclosing the picture of an American girl who is in Germany, said: "I think this contest gives our race a grand display of fine looking women." From Sheridan, Wyo., comes a request that if the group of the "Chosen Fifteen" is to be sold, please inform about the price. From Rochester comes a letter saying: "Please enter these photos in the Beauty Contest because I feel the Flower City should be recognized in your grand and noble attempt, to show to the world that we as a race have got some of the most beautiful women the sun ever shone upon." An Interesting Task. Among the pictures reproduced this week is one concerning which the following letter was received: "In your issue of August 27 there was a method suggested that the portraits be grouped in five classes. I hardly know what type I would he classed with. 'My father is one-half Negro, one-quarter Indian and one-quarter white; my mother is an octooroon, with a mixture of French and Irish.' It will be an interesting task to try and pick out the young woman's picture which is referred to in this wise. It was hoped that all the pictures received could be reproduced in the columns of THE AGE prior to the conclusion of the contest. But that will be an absolute impossibility. Although the columns' of the paper have been taxed each week in the effort to give as many photos as possible, there are now on hand, nearly one hundred photos which have not been reproduced. In THE AGE of Semester 24 and October 1 as many more as can possibly be used will appear, but it does not now seem probable that all can be used. This is a source of regret to THE AGE management, but it shows also how much pulling power THE AGE has with its readers. It is most gratifying to secure such results in so short a time. While the contest is limited to women of the United States, pictures have been received from Canada, from British Columbia, and from Germany, the United States, the United States their pictures will be considered in the contest. Handsome solid gold bar pins will be awarded the "Chosen Fifteen," and the most beautiful woman in New York and vicinity will receive in addition a beautiful solid gold javalliers and chain. Each prize will be suitably engraved, commemorating the Beauty Contest of Tire New York Ace and the Autumn Festival of the National Exhibition and Amusement Cos. at Manhattan Casino, September 28 to October 2. NEGRO TO ADDRESS INTERNATIONAL BODY. Special to Tire New York Ace. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Sept. 15. -For the first time, in the history of the International Congress on Home Education, to meet for the first time in America, September 22-29, in this city a Negro will read a paper before that body in the person of Dr. John P. Turner of Philadelphia. He has also been appointed one of the committee of seven censors to review and pass on all papers read before the American Open-Air School Association, a part of the above congress. Dr. Turner has been invited to read a paper on "The Open-Air Class at the Thomas. Durham Public Class." His PETER H. HARRIS DR. JOHN P. TURNER position as medical inspector of public schools, representing a district in which there are more than 3,000 children under his direct and daily supervision, where the most delicate skill is required as well as highest efficiency maintained, amply qualifies him to produce such a paper with credit to himself and the race. When the permanent medical inspectors of the public schools of Philadelphia were appointed by the Director of Public Health two years ago he was the only Negro. Dr. Turner will go as a delegate from this city to the National Medical Association, to be held at Raleigh, N. C. August 26, and will deliver an address, subject: "The Value of School Medical Inspection." He is an assistant surgeon in the Douglass Hospital, medical director in the Keystone Aid Society and one of the official examiners of the Knights of Pythias.

Speaking of a resolu- tion introduced by Senator T. S. Manvix of Virginia,.in the interest of an appropriation for the Negro Emancipation Celebration in Vir- ginia, Senator Fray S. Witte of Mabama, spoke as follows: - Me, Ware: Mr. resident, | wish to concur in what the Senator fron! Vir gima (Me.

He gives his renters comfortable houses, some pasture for their stock, and such conveniences as good shins and running water. Favor won much of his success through diversified farming. Long ago he cut loose from cotton as the sole crop. He advises his fellow farmers to alfalfa and hogs in order to lift their mortgage. Favor advertises on a big signboard at the entrance to his plantation what he hints to sell and also posts a notice of what he wishes to buy. He believes in advertising the name of his farm—"Eastview Stock Farm"—and in conducting his business as expertly as the town merchant or banker conducts his affairs. J. I. Teer, of Holly Springs, Miss, has succeeded in handling people as well as raising farm crops and stock. It was in 1890 that Teer started with ten dollars in borrowed cash to grow cotton—the best cotton. Now he owns 2,000 acres of land worth about $70,000, and employs 20 families which help him care for 20 mules, 100 head of cattle, and vast fields of corn. From being a cowboy, poorly paid and badly sheltered, to being a prosperous plantation owner and stockraiser, is the story of Jake Simmons, one of the keen Negro business men of Haskell, Okla. In 1886 Simmons first began farming and met with a crop failure. He borrowed $80 from his boss and started again, after he had secured a contract to cut 18,000 rails as a side line. He exchanged a trade with the Choctaw country and here he found himself. Now Simmons actually owns, in his own name, 1,800 acres—700 being in active cultivation—270 head of cattle, 150 hogs, and over 700 hens. He owns a tenroom house in which his ten children have the 'conveniences of modern country life. Raises Fourteen-ounce Peaches Logan Morgan, who lives within four miles of Muskogee, Okla., finds that no color line is drawn in the market against his twelve and fourteen ounce Alberta peaches, which bring $2 a bushel in the orchard. Twenty-one years' experience in the Southwest, "as an unlearned man among many grafters," to quote him exactly, has taught him the value of remaining quietly at work and of producing among other crops "peaches that can be grown." Morgan lives married twenty years ago when he had only six "hits" and an $18 pony. Now he owns 1,400 acres of land, with more than one-half their farm holdings in money and cover crops. J. W. Whitlow has the good will and confidence of the best white fokels in Maun County, Ala., because, through thirty years, he has been a good farmer and has added to the prosperity of the community. When Whitlow married he paid fifty cents for a jean coat and borrowed money with which to get a marriage license. For some months he and his wife used three bushels from March to July. Whitlow, now raises 150 bales of cotton each season, makes $75 a month in his milk business, and owns 8 horses, 36 mules, and 1,500 acres of land. Receives Rentals of $1,000 a Month. John B. Keys, who came to Oklahoma as a homemaster in 1891, with $65 in his pockets, is one of the wealthiest Negroes in Okmulgee, a thriving city 30 miles from Muskogee, rich in oil and gas properties. Keys owns a solid block of two-story buildings in the heart of the best business section, together with 6 cotages and 6 store buildings, and has the respect of his white and black business owners. His annual amount to $1,000 a month, from $100,000 worth of buildings, and his receipts from the sale of groceries amount to $1,200 a day. W. Gilliam runs a first-class general store in Oklahoma, Miss., and has for his customers some of the best white people. In March, 1886, Gilliam's father died, leaving destitute a wife and eight children—four boys and four girls. Young Gilliam earned his first money by hunting for old, dirty bones, which he sold for a few cents a bushel. In 1893 he bought his first bill of groceries for $81. In 1897 he began a business in notions with a stock worth $50. A little later he opened a shoe line with $30 worth of good but inexpensive footwear. Now he employs six clerks, does an annual business of over $40,000, and has a substantial brick store. He lives, with his family, in a twelve-room house, has 12 tenants, and owns 80 acres of farm land. W. H. FURNISS GETS BACK FROM GERMANY Among the passengers returning from Europe on the Holland-American liner Potsdam, which docked at New York, New York, on April 15, 1915, was of Indianapolis, Mr. Farniss sailed from Rotterdam, Holland, September 5. During the mobilization of the German army Mr. Furniss was in Hamburg, and he comments most interestingly on the conditions that obtained. One striking feature of the army movement was the alacrity and cheerfulness of the response of the German citizens to the call to arms. He said that the men were daily away while the women with sharp stifling stifness made them farewell. If there was any hesitancy on the part of the men in responding they were most of the award by their women folks. It is considerable difficulty was experienced in seizing message of America, Mr. Furniss finally landed on stage, on his Postdam from Rotterdam, by his son and family, in order to secure comfortable quarters, had to take passage on a vessel calling for Haiyt, from which country they will come on to the United States. About six weeks will be required for the trip. Kempner Harrold and Wife Back From Berlin. Among the passengers on the White star line steamer Celtic, which reached this port Friday..morning..September 11, wore Mr. and Mrs. W. Kemper Harrad of Atlanta, Ga.

To look at things through the white man's eyes, or, to be less figurative but none the less assertive or correct, to maintain the white brother's viewpoint of things and form conclusions thereby, is a besetting sin of the average colored American. This indictment is broad, sweeping and general, and includes members of the race engaged in all avenues of endeavor. Those connected with the theatrical profession and those deeply interested in the welfare of the theatrical profession are, therefore, not excepted. This article is not intended as a tirade against the white man; neither is it my purpose to inflict on the readers of The Age a long dissertation on "Race Prejudice." As to the white man's ideas and methods of doing business, he must be right if results count for anything. He owns all the railroads, large buildings and, big banks; in fact, he owns almost everything. He is a success, which means that in achieving same he is a disciple of such cardinal business virtues as aggressiveness, sacrifice, integrity, reliability, system and competency, and it would be well for the colored man to become thoroughly inoculated with his white brother's viewpoint in this direction. In seeking to drive home the idea that the colored American should look at conditions in the theatrical world as it directly affects him through the colored man's eyes. I have taken a somewhat circuitous route, but there are times when the "a straight line is the shortest distance between two points" process of reasoning is not always the best one. The recent success of the Allies against the Germans, after a journey over a route resembling a line drawn by a two-year-old child, is a case in point. Here we are at the opening of the new theatrical season, awaiting with hailed breath, optimistic, yet apprehensive, the verdict of white vaudeville managers relative to the booking of colored acts. As forecasted in these columns a short time ago, indications are that the colored performer will enjoy a prosperous season, as colored acts will be more in demand, due to the European war, in which German acts are persona non grata in some sections of the United States, as are French and English turns. But what is the colored American doing aside from watching, waiting, talking and scheming to materially change conditions for the better? That is, what great concerted movement is on foot in which the colored theatregoer and colored performer are playing an important part? There is but one answer—none! This strange condition is due in the main to the habit of the colored American to look at things through the white man's eyes. As the white theatrical promoter has not shown for several years an interest in colored theatrical attractions our colored citizens have grown into the habit of rating all racial theatrical propositions far below par. And yet, were white theatrical men to wax enthusiastic over colored theatricals, the colored American would hastily assume a corresponding state of mind and vell hip, hip, hooray! Here is a striking example of the utter inability of the colored American to place an estimate on his own ability until after the white American has given his O. K. Seldom do colored Americans put the proper value on their men and women until the Caucasian has placed his stamp of approval, and yet some of our speakers indignantly deny on the platform that the colored American is in his infantile stage of development. We should not expect the white man to agree with us in toto on matters directly affecting the colored American. In the first place, he is not as conversant with true conditions as we are. He is usually sincere and his deductions and attitude are usually well meant. White people, as a rule, form positive opinions of the colored man from one or two individual instances. Supposing the colored man's methods of learning the white man was similar? He would not be as well acquainted with his pale-faced brother as he is. To my mind one of the greatest fares being enacted in America to-day is the uncompromising insistence of the white people to spend thousands, of dollars annually in research work on various "isms" and "ologies" and their downright refusal to spend a cent in research work toward intelligently and effectively solving one of the greatest questions that affects our body politic. If, therefore, it is true that the white American, to a large degree, is ignorant of conditions as they directly affect us, it behooves us to first form our own proper estimate of value. That the average colored American is oftimes carried away by noise, glare and glitter, and is apt to put his O. K. on the unreal, rather than the real, is admitted. But-individual instances of that sort would have no influence. It is the consensus of opinion that invariably decrees what is and what is not.

The company will open at the Lafayette on the afternoon of Monday, September 21, and the engagement will be for one week only. This season Manager Rudolph Voelcker is presenting; the Black Patti Musical Comedy Co. in a three-act musical comedy entitled "Lucky Sam from Alabam." The book and lyrics of the piece are by Harrison Stewart. Will A. Cooke and Harrison, Stewart have looked after the staging. other field of endeavor. This statement applies to the North, East, South and West. The South is the most fertile section already open for operation. There clean, high-class vaudeville for colored people is in its infancy, prejudice against the mixing of colored and white people in places of public accommodation is rampant, and thousands of self-respecting colored citizens are longing for wholesome, instructive amusement because they have no place to go. The majority of white men in the South who conduct theatres for colored people are doing more harm than good, for they cater to the worst type of Negro and care naught for decency, conducting business for money only. Colored Americans had better look at the theatrical situation out of their own eyes, as they are fully aware of conditions; for, if they wait until the white man sees the wonderful opportunities extant to make money, they will wake up some fine morning to discover that one of the largest and most productive theatrical circuits in the United States is owned and controlled solely by white men, and that the money to run the circuit and enrich the promoters is coming from the pockets of colored Americans, North, East, South and West.

RICHARDSON, Manager aug 27-41 Booking Office: 428 Lenox Ave. Tel. 4974 Harlem have been held over for the second half. The greatest applause-getters on the bill was the Drake Trio, which came to New York from somewhere —evidently the South. This act will prove a strong attraction for any colored house. The male member of the trio gets a big hand in all of his songs. He should pay more attention to his annunciation. The female member of the turn sings pleasingly and shows considerable promise. The pick carries off dancing honors and is some drummer. The act is a trifle too long and needs polishing up here and there. It is one of the best new acts that has come to the Lafayette. The engagement of the trio has been prolonged, and the newcomers will be seen at the Lafayette the last half. John W. Cooper, ventrilouquist, returned to Harlem after several months' absence, and scored his usual hit. He is of that school of performers who is always studying to improve his act, and the fact that he is constantly working shows that his policy must be the correct one. Joe Johnson & Co. (known on the big time as Joe Deming & Co.) were hilarious in their parlor car act, and Hale & Roon did a terpsichorean specialty which was classy and entertaining. Austin & Moore, acrobats, opened the bill, putting the audience in a good humor with their work. The bill the second half of last week was the subject of much com- PRICES THURSDAY, SEPT. 17, 1914 plimentary comment. Burris & Austin headlined the bill, doing a blackface turn which contained numerous laughs. Buster Austin bears, watching as a comedian. Another act to score in laugh-making was Floyd & Washington. It cannot be said that this team has an act of "too much sameness," as they introduce quite an original idea, and should experience no trouble getting booking. Marjorie Sipp is back in New York and she went big in songs. Her work shows marked improvement. Steiner & Swayne, Rolls & Co. and George Rose helped in making the bill a strong one. A large turnout is expected at the Lafayette Theatre Friday afternoon and evening of this week, when benefit performances will be given in aid of the Hope Day Nursery. Mrs. Daisy C. Reed and her associates have been working zealously to make the benefit a big success. COMING FROM ABROAD. The large influx of Americans to these shores, who have left Europe on account of the big war is responsible for the presence in New York of a large number of colored performers who have been abroad for many months. Among those to reach New York of recent date are Ida Forcene, known on the stage as "Topsy" Sirene Newarro of Brown and Newarro, Leo Bailey of the former team of King and Bailey, and Pearl Taylor. tS re, wae esd’ tt Sunday marked the- closing of. the Soprst. yeue cof” the” church's: existence ; “gervfees—tiitouxhout - the entire day were largely attended, 6 Pastor Bolden’ sermon’ was Impres- sive, site naldy that the Binmactueloa Lord of Lite, placed the righteousnens of Goll as a thing to be ‘solght atter fon equal basia with seeking tho King: dom of God; therefore His saying may ~pead.this was, “Seek first the Kingdom of God, and first the righteousness of God.” ‘The righteousness of God ts a thing” we are, endeavoring to Inveati- gate In order that wo might get & clearer view of the! righteousness, of Gol, uso thing ‘of equal” importance with the Kingdom of God, wo shall fave to note the difference that wo.be- eve thero.ta between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven.
