PUBLIC AUDITORIUM. BANQUET AND GRILL ROOMS IN BUILDING Architect Tandy Drew Plans For Building—Chas. G. Generlette Is Exalted About the first of February, 1924, the Imperial Lodge, No. 121, I.B.P.O.E. of W., will complete their new club house at 160-104 West 129th street. The house has been erected during the past six months at a cost of $140,000, exclusive of furnishings, and is in many respects the most beautiful club house owned by Negroes in the country. The building is colonial style of red brick, trimmed in white limestone, and contains a large banquet room and grill in the basement, office rooms for the officers of the lodge on the first floor, a large public auditorium with balcony, and lodge rooms on the floors above. There is also a full equipment of shower baths, dressing rooms, lockers, etc., and provisions have been made for a roof garden in summer. While the building has been erected entirely by the Imperial Lodge, the auditorium will be rented to the public for dances and other social functions and the lodge rooms will be available for use by other fraternal organizations and clubs. For some time the members of this judge (which is the largest owned lea- ge in the world, numbering more than have been trying to obtain a com- site) for the building commission in 1921, and a building commission attended. But it was necessary to have a bond to secure the necessary money for the building's erection and thus the com- mute was unable to do. . 850,000 Loan Planted. Finally this committee disbanded and a board of directors was chosen, to handle the building project, with Assemblyman Henry W. Shields as chairman. He resigned and was succeeded by Jerome O'Ttley, a prominent real estate broker, in January, 1923. Mr. Otley got to work immediately and between January and May floated the building loan of $1000. Plans drawn by Vertner W. Tandy, a member of the lodge, and one of the most prominent architects of the race, has been accepted, and a contract for the building was awarded to Henry J. Passo, also a member of the lodge, J. Adams & Sons, contractors and builders. Construction was started immediately and has progressed without a halt. It is now almost complete, and the furnishings, including a pipe organ, will soon be installed. Associated with Mr. Otley as the board of directors for the construction of the building were: J. H. Dorsay, the president; Jeremiah Cox, secretary; and H. Adolph Howell, treasurer. The owners of the lodge are, Charles N. Genrette, exalted ruler; Henson J. Styles, financial secretary; Lewis H.

FALLING CEILING IN 63RD STREET THEATRE CAUSES PANIC, 4 MORT A patch of plaster eight feet square fell during the evening performance of the "White Carry" at Daly 63rd Street.

Real Negro Comedy Features "Runnin' Wild" at Colonial (By LESTER A. WALTON). "Baseballically" speaking, real Negro comedy is having its inning on Broadway. Pugilistically speaking, pure, unadifferentiated Negro comedy is landing a knockout at the Colonial Theatre with Miller & Lyles, stars of "Runnin' Wild" doing the walloping. There is a difference between ridicule and comedy. Ridicule provokes laughter and at the same time occasions displeasure and resentment. Comedy leaves no wounds; it is an acknowledled mental balm. Ridicule is an irritant while comedy is a conciliator. Some white comedians essaying to do black-face roles are protagonists of the ridicule method of manufacturing laughter. Without malice afterthought they poke fun at the Negro rather than give a true picture of the happy-go-lucky type. Such terms as "coon" and "nigger" have been worked overtime by them—also razor, gin, watermelon and chicken. Negro theatregoers have been charged with addiction to super-sensitiveness, and unjust accusation. What they seriously object to is the continual holding up of the race to derision and contempt. Who laughs more heartily (and I must confess most beisterously) at the talk and antics of Miller & Lyles than the Negro patrons? Who ever enjoyed more than Negroes the unintended and contagious humor dispensed by the greatest of all black-face comedians, the late Bert Williams? difference between a. Woolworth, "diamond" and a sparkler from Tiffany's. In "Runnin' Wild" Miller & Lyles are accorded strong support by an array of talented character artists who faithfully portray types we have seen in every day life. Mattie Wilkes, Ida Dukkan, C. Wesley Hill, Arthur D. Porter, Lippel Monogas, J. Wesley Jeffrey, Eddie Gray, Paul Floyd, Elizabeth Welsh and Georgia Harvey are among those impressive in the speaking of lines. All of the comedy scenes and talk in "Runnin' Wild" are not brand new. I have a distinct recollection of one of the situations being used in "Darkeydom" when Miller & Lyles appeared under my management some years ago; but reviving material from shows of yesterday, especially when the situations are sure fire laughter-getters, is permissible, and when you proceed on the theory there is nothing new under the sun. Miller & Lyles reach the crest of their Genuine Negro comedy is not only preferred to the imitation by colored Americans. White Americans have shown for the past three seasons in particular that their disabilities are more susceptible to the kind of comedy diffused by Miller & Lyles than by opponents of the McIntyre and Heath School. The reason for this is that the difference between the two is as marked as the LOCAL TAMMANYITES URGE NAMING NEGRO TO BOMBER COACH Supreme Court of Pennsylvania shall have been busy since it became known that Wade Muldoon and Commissioner Dwyer would retire from the New York State Atlantic Commission on January 1, urging Governor Smith to follow the lead of Pennsylvania and appoint a colored man as member of the Commission. They point out that all the recognition given local voters by the Democrats has been local positions and no state recognition has been given the colored voter, It seems, however, that they cannot agree on a single candidate. Several have been mentioned, among them being Andrew Mitchell of 673 Lettow avenue, who was formerly boxing manager at St. Christopher Club. Mitchell is well known in boxing circles, and trained such well known boxers as Benny Pompeau, Wilbur Cohen, Leroy Powell, Edwin Riley and others. The other candidates are men who have had little or no experience with the sport.

HEGEMAN Late President Metropolitan Life Leaves Large Sum To Aid Deserving Challenges The joint board of the Katy Ferguson-Sojourner Truth Homes was given a fine New Year's present through the announcement made by Dr. Katherine B. Davis, chairman, that a legacy of $25,000 for the Harlem homes had been made by the late John R. Hegeman, formerly president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The gift comes to the homes for colored girls through the interest of Mrs. Haley Fiske, a member of the Katy Ferguson-Sojourner. Truth joint board, whose husband, Haley Fiske, an official of the Metropolitan, is one of the executors of the Hegeman will. This gift will make possible the re-opening of the Sojourner Truth Home, for delinquent girls, which has been closed for lack of funds with which to operate, as soon as a suitable building can be secured. A. I. Hart Co., Pioneer Race 5,10 and 25 Cents Store, In Involuntary Bankruptcy First Popular Price Store Organized in New York City By Negro Merchant Is Forced Into Receiver's Hands —Lock of Patronage from Public Is Cause. A petition of involuntary bankruptcy was filed against the A. I. Hart Company, which operates the 5, 10 and 25 cents store at 189th street and Seventh avenue, on Thursday afternoon, December 27. The sudden termination of the biggest venture of its kind among colored people in New York came just a little over a year after the enlarged establishment had been opened. The failure is said to have been due entirely to a lack of support on the part of the general public and not to bad management. At a meeting of the stockholders on Wednesday prior to the bankruptcy proceedings a resolution was passed approving the management of the store by A. I. Hart, the president and founder. For some months the store has been suffering from a lack of support and the expected Christmas business was disappointing. The management had planned to cut the store in half at the first of the year and submit a half to some one else, but the creditors were also hard up and would not wait longer for their money. was moved to its present location. According to Mr. Hart the store has assets enough to pay 100 per cent. on the dollar, and the only trouble is that he could not turn his stock over fast enough. The firm is represented by Assistant Corporation Counsel James S. Watson and the receiver is Paul Crandell. STOCKHOLDERS GIVE APPROVAL TO ACTS OF MANAGER A. I. HART Failure of A. I. Hart & Co. Founded Six Years Ago. The A. I. Hart Company was founded by Mr. Hart six years ago in a small store at 140th street and Seventh avenue. Business was good in 1017 and grew to such proportions during the next year that a branch establishment was opened further down Seventh avenue, near 133rd street. For a time the business, prospered, but with the slump in business in 1921 it became necessary to close the branch establishment. Mr. Hart decided that the new Renaissance Casino building would be a good location for his business so the stockholders of the company decided to hire the entire first floor of that building. When the building was completed about the time $2,000 NEEDED. The Urban League thanks all friends who are helping them put over their Drive. They still need $6,000, and are asking a continuance of the interest of the public. Quarters, half dollars and dollars will be appreciated. Dimes will not be refused. Arthur Holden, the chairman, who believes in cooperation and is doing a splendid work and is helping to put over a constructive program is sure that the people of Harlem are going to give this $6,000. It will mean $10,000 from a white friend. Call at the office, see Mr. Hubert, leave a piece of money today. Do it. Don't wait. 206 West 136th street. was moved to its present location.

Hart & Co., Inc., Does Not Lessen Faith of Investors in Founder. The appointing of a receiver for the firm of A. I. Hart & Co., Inc., operating the first department store owned by members of the race in Harlem, has aroused considerable interest in the community. The appointment was made on Thursday, December 27, 1923, as the result of an involuntary petition in court, ruptery filed by certain of the creditors. The same evening a meeting of the stockholders of the company was held at Montserrat Hall, 207 West 137th street, attended by practically all who had invested in the proposition, and they board a clear and vivid explanation from Mr. Hart of the operation of the firm since the last stockholders' meeting in August, 1923. The stockholders put themselves on record as having the utmost confidence in the management of Mr. Hart, founder of the company, and who served as president, treasurer and manager. A resolution expressing this belief was passed and as a further expression of faith in him, Mr. Hart is to be the guest of honor at a dinner to be given by the stockholders at a later date. Mr. Hart is retained by the receiver as manager of the business during the setting up process.' ffices and Staff More Than 200 Cases Are Treated at Bellevue, While Harlem Hospital Handles 32 The Age Warned Its Readers of the Danger Attendant Upon Consumption of Alcoholic Concoctions Which Had Denatured Alcohol as Its Principal Base. LENOX AVENUE BOOTLEGGERS MAKE THEIR OWN, USING ALCOHOL AND WATER ON A FIFTY-FIFTY BASIS, FOR GIN AND CORN Poison alcohol, dispensed throughout New York City as hootch, claimed its toll during Christmas week. Up to Tuesday, January 1, eleven deaths had occurred and two hundred and six victims had been admitted at Bellevue Hospital for treatment. At Harlem Hospital, thirty-two alcoholic cases were treated, two resulting fatally. One death occurred Sunday and the other on New Year's Day. This is reported by hospital officials as an unusually large record. Sanford Chumbley, 35 years old, a tailor living at 218 West 133rd street, is being held on a charge of felonious assault for having shot his wife, Pearl Chumbley of 514 Lenox avenue, after a dispute on Wednesday night. December 26. Mrs. Chumbley was shot three times in the breast and is in a serious condition at Harlem Hospital. Chumbley, who was living apart from her husband, was arrested and began to show her. When she defended herself he drew his recorder and fired three shots into her breast. COLONED MAN HEADS PREScription DEPT., LIGGETT DRUG CO. Dr. George F. Clayton of 1737 Van Bureh street, Bronx, N. Y., is rendering valuable service as a manager of the prescription department of the Louis K. Liggett Co., which operates a chain of drug stores throughout the city. In a recent issue of Liggett Leader, the monthly magazine of the Liggett Drug Stores, he was given high praise for having "been very successful in doubling quantities on old prescriptions," and for having made many additional sales in other departments through constant intelligent suggestions. JUDGE FINES LOGAN THEN BOYS A SHAKE Charles Logan, living at 264 West 134th street, was selling tin snakes outside of the Hudson Terminal Building, and the imitation reptiles were, no life-line in their automatic gyrations that the street was blocked with a crowd that stopped to watch. As a result, Logan was haled to the Tombs Court and Magistrate Sweetsteen fired him $3 on a charge of disorderly conduct, arising out of the blocked side-walls. EIGHT WHITE MEN IN Oklahoma MUST FACE CURSE OF MURDER The Age has warned its readers of the danger attending consumption of the vile products masquerading as whiskey, gin and rum, sold by unscrupulous bootleggers to a thirsty clientele. Denatured alcohol, with bases of wood alcohol, benzine, kerosene, pyridin, camphor, nicotine, benzol, formaldehyde, iodine, sulphuric acid, soap and glycerine, is used by the illicit panders to the drinker's appetite, without regard to consequences which must ensue. In Harlem, according to information given The Age by a man closely identified with bootlegging operations since even before prohibition was put into force, the bootch seller handles several grades of alleged alcoholic beverages. From the seller, who has purchased alcohol in a base liquor, his customer a drink which has been transported with, the process being known as "cutting." Two-Powered Corn Whigkey. Corn whiskey, so called, has become the standard and most handled liquor in the Harlem section. It comes to the bootlegger's establishment, as a rule, in 5-gallon containers. In its original state it is of extremely high alcoholic content, said by some to be as much as 190 to 200 per cent. The human system cannot assimilate so powerful a drink, so it is put through the modifying process. The ordinary method, according to the informant, is to mix five gallons of water with each five gallons of corn whiskey, the result being a reduced alcoholic percentage that suits the well-seasoned drinker. But even this is too powerful for some of the drinkers, so further modification is resorted to. This two-powered throat lubricant is sometimes dispensed by the sherwed bootlegger in the guise of "good" rye whiskey, the only addition being burnt sugar or some other neutral coloring matter. As a rule, however, the rye and grain sold by the bootlegger is concocted from grain alcohol. The only difference is that an extract of the juniper berry is used for the grain, which, of course, is uncolored, while coloring matter and a grain extract is used for the specified rye. This product, either as grain or rye, is sold over the counter at 65 cents or half pint, and this is the price offered for the corn whiskey. By the drink is either 15 or 20 cents, according to the place at which it is bought. The Age's informant declared that at least one boilerger operating in her town had access to a supply of real brand of whiskey, made before the possibility era, and stored in government owned houses. If the customer is willing to pay the price, and the seller's compliance is in good working order, it is possible to secure this original bottling at half or more the half pint. It is necessary to state, however, that only the initiator gets this sort of whiskey. The; "wise" or "expert" judge of whiskey, who thinks he knows "good matter" when he tastes it, is usually taken advantage of by the booth seller. He will call for good rye at $1.50 a pint, thinking he is getting this pure malt whiskey, with a minimum of water added. As booded, whiskey is at least 100 proof, some water is present and the pageant "wise" judge finds he is selling a dollar by letting the booth logger add a little water to the whiskey he fears to售.

RADIO DEPARTMENT WITH OUR GIRLS One of the most important developments in radio this week was the announcement made through the Association Press that Dr. Lee De Forest had developed a thermophone which he coined insulated the audible microphone issued by Dr. Philip Thomas. By coining the thermophone with a talking motion picture process, he announced had found it possible to record the most sounds of the human voice and put instruments with perfect fidelity synchronize them perfectly with the picture. Finally, he said, talking "movies" could simply of running a talking machine while the picture was being played on the screen. The microphone consists of two small electrodes placed diametrically opposite each other in a ring insulating material. A high voltage applied to the electrodes is said to form between them a "glow discharge," having the peculiar property of being affected by sound waves and causing changes exactly corresponding to the sound waves in the time of the current to the electrodes. The glow discharge, which is said to be neither a spark nor an arc, will, it was said, respond to the untermost limit of sound vibrations and thus permit identification and study of all sounds in the ultra-audible region. Another great step in the advancement of radio is the desire to begin teaching a new language, a universal language, particularly for European countries where sometimes within a radius of a few hundred miles, as many as five languages are spoken. It is estimated that the teaching of this language, which would be a sort of "English lingo," might take four years and cost about $100,000 to make the language popular. All of which shows that out of the Great Unknown has come a force which will in time make of this world a great family and every one will if he so wishes to keep in constant touch with everyone.

Last week we really had a wonderful column. Almost every member wrote something. I, being somewhat slow did not manage to get in with the rest, but I shall increase the New Year. Trusting we all had a joyous Christmas, and wishing a prosperous New Year to all Your Sister. DEAR SISTERS I just want to say a few words to you all of the social opens again. I am having a most wonderful time during these holidays. I am just back from a breakfast dance. "Lill," the Daring Hail was there introducing a few stories from Little Old New York, while "Brown Eyes" gave her fingers a good exercise over the piano keys. The column was very interesting the last two weeks. Now, I want to thank each one of my sisters for their hearty cooperation in making my suggestion a success. Every article was wonderful. I trust we have in our list of regulations for the New Year just one, resulting, to write to the column a bit more regular than we did in the last year. With much love, success and happiness to all. "WILHELMINA" The column was exceptionally good last week, and "Innocent" article was wonderful. Keep up the good work LYNCHINGS DECREASE 50 PER CENT IN 1923 The annual summary of mob activities was tabulated by Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records, and Press it shows that 1923 was marked by a reduction in number of lynchings of more than fifty per cent. Only 28 persons were murdered by mobs as against 17 during 1922, or 29 less. Seven persons were taken from jails and six officers, a total of 13 taken into the hands of the law.

This offer gives everyone a chance to own a radio set. At a recent reception and fair given by the St. Luke's Mission in their building on Edgicomba avenue, New York, one of the members brought his radio receiving set and gave a wonderful evening's concert. A little boy, a son of one of the trustees just could not keep away from the radio during the entire evening. His last prayer the night before Christmas was "May I, too, have a radio set?" His father tells the Radio Editor that Santa Claus broult him a radio set.

Boost Radio to Congress. Indications are that the U. S. Bureau of the Budget will only approve of appropriations amounting to one-sixth of the Department of Commerce's lowest estimate as necessary for the administration of Radio matters during the next fiscal year. With all forms of Radio activity increasing, the scope of the Radio section has been extended until several times the work is being done by the same field force and the same personnel in the Washington office, that existed before broadcasting and extensive amateur activities began. The department needs both more men and money. Vassar Graduate Talks. Miss Louise Hammond, who is a Vassar graduate and who has been for ten years a missionary in Wusik China, talks from station WOR Thursday afternoon on tunes of Chinese poetry, giving examples of poems as chanted by Chinese children. Some of Miss Hammond's translations of Chinese poems into English to fit the original poem tunes were published in Poetry Magazine last year. dearest.

American Negro music had its origin in Sad 2, the music of the, white folks The Negroes heard the sailors of France, ‘Spain and’ England sing their songs of home and the sea inthe ports of ‘ the West Indies and the Spanish Main, in the old dzys. ‘They heard them 1.2 in New Orleans and Charleston and Norfotk and New York and Boston, Gi, . even to Portland, Me.

War Tax The World of Religion The attendance at Mother Zion Church, the last Sunday morning in the year, was so large that seals to accommodate all we not to be had. Dr. Brown preached a special sermon appropriate to the passing of the old year, "The Art of Forgetting." Phillip This last Sunday of the year, 'Old Year Sunday,' places us in a reflective mood. While it is not in our calendar of Holy Days, doubleless no other day except Easter has suggested more profound thought, more eloquent expression and promoted nobler living. We naturally think of Life, its brevity, its uncertainty, our opportunity improvement neglected, too often neglected, our advancing years and the approach of the end. "It should be the desire of every naughtier this morning to trivialize herself or herself, to wisely redemote the time, to become more acceptable Christians, both in the right of God and man. There are sins to be forgiven, temptations to resist, battles to be taught, victories to be won, persecuctions and sufferings to endure." At the close of the sermon an impressive appeal was made and ten persons were received into the church. The Sunday-school convened at 2 o'clock. This service, notwithstanding the fact that many of the teachers were out of the city on Christmas holiday visits, was largely attended. The offering was $5. In order that the work of the Sunday-school might be more effective and a wider interest nurtured in the entire community, a Parent-Teacher Organization operating under the auspices of the Sunday-school has been created. On Tuesday evening, from 6 to 8 o'clock, at the Brotherhood House, there was a social gathering of this body for the purpose of a better mutual cooperation in the work during the year 1924. At 4 p.m. the Lycceum Choral rendered, a beautiful cantata under the direction of Mrs. Bertha DeVernay. At 8 p.m., the Senior and Intermediate Christian Endeavor Societete presented a cantata "The Messiah Comes." Bishop J. S. Caldwell worehipped with us at this service. "I will and testimonial meetings will be held Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings." Next Sunday, Dr. B. G. Shaw will preach morning and evening. At 11 a.m., the pastor will organize the junior congregation, followed by a sermon to the children, "I am the Door." Grace Church of Harlem. Christmas week at the Grace Congregational Church of Harlem was celebrated with great enthusiasm. The church was used by the Charity Bureau, of which the pastor is chaplain, to send out two hundred and thirteen well filled baskets to the needy of Harlem. This work was done on Christmas Eve. Mrs. Critchlow is president and- Mrs. M. Walter French, secretary. On Christmas day the Swedes held their Christmas tree. Wednesday December 26, Grace Church held a community service, with Christmas tree. The four-hundred children enjoyed the afternoon in great glee. The children were the cream and cake in the banquet of the church and tables had been pre-arranged. Then the audience filed into the auditorium and Lieut. Mikell of the 30th Infantry N. Y. N. G., with his bays' orchestra, entertained the audience. After this members of the "hunnin' Wild Co.'" James Johnson and Smalls and Mrs. Harvey, rendered fine music, answering many questions. Then followed a program of the children themself, Scott the superintendent, conducted a cantata, "Red Riding Hood," with Miss Olivet Miller and Jerry Queen. Then the task of giving, out more than three-hundred presents, began. These presents, were contributed by Messrs Miller and Lyles; the Bible Class of Broadway Tabernacle, per Mrs. Carhart; Mr. and Mrs. Gould; and a donation from Dearborn, per Mr. Curran; the teachers of the church school and members and friends who did the work of serving and distributing presents. It was the most generous and friendly Christmas one could wish. The pastor encouraged the kids to be free and they caught the one. Last Sunday the church was well filled to hear the closing old-year sermon from the pastor. It was well worth hearing and the audience enjoyed the service. The church sang well and the choir joined the church: Mr. and Mrs. John Barnwell, Mrs. Blanche Johnson, Mrs. Clara Morris and Herjietta Raspberry. The pastor and wife acknowledge gifts from the pastor's aid society of Grace Church; Mrs. Lucy Craig, Washington, D. C.; W. A. Hoisey, Washington, D. C.; W. A. Hoisey, Mrs. Marguerite Byers, Mrs. A. Douglas and Mrs. L. Armistead, Mrs. Husrietta Harris and Mrs. Anna Brooks of Washington, D. C.; and many beautiful Christmas cards from many friends. Mrs. Garner also received faithful gifts from Miss Emma Maynard, Chicago, IL; and Mrs. Eliza Dickson, Knoxville, Tenn. Watch meeting was celebrated with a sacred program, including Editor Hire K.

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high priest, and my Benedict." At the time David wrote this psalm he had an experience. Any knowledge of God is experimental. The result of these wonderful sayings in the Bible was that the men who wrote them had personal knowledge of God and contact with Him. The greatest thing for people who are striving to be God witnesses in the world today is for them to follow in the footsteps of those who testify to the saving and redeeming power of out Lord the Emmanuel. Some people have said and do still say "experience" their teacher." Ye man of God's experience has been in their down fall. This might have been happened if they had taken the kindly advice and testimony of those who know. Then another great thought is to have friendship with God. Some people only know God or go to Him when they are sick or have trouble. Why not go to God when you are well and happy? Do not have it only said, "That God is God, friend," but you be it. "That God is God, Think on this thing for us, 'The Lord bath done things for us, when we sohed'." Is there no great experience you, my friends, have had, that makes you fully realize that God is all and in all to you? That He is your life, your breath, the very source of your being? See the God-Spirit in everything. Always think, "My neighbor is perish. Be as near that perfection is perish as you can, and good and perfection in everything else. Live the life of God and always say as He said, I do always the will of my Father which is in heaven." At 2 o'clock the Sunday-school was opened by Superintendent Hogans.

Joseph Phipps assistant pastor, takin' up the lead. He took two of the I Peter, 1:16, and discharged the therem "The infallibility of the Bible." In order for the Bible to be infallable the men who wrote it must have been the subjects of plenary inspiration while composing the book. This, the text declares, was true of the men who wrote the Bible. Hence presumption is in fact the infallibility of faith and from the interim external evidence found in the Scriptures themselves every Christian should receive the Bible as the orly infallable rule of faith and practice. At the close of the sermon eight new members joined the church and one infant was baptized.
