Is Taken Over By Paramount Co., Big White Corporation President Pace Says Merger Will Result in Benefit to Stockholders in Colored Company Through Larger Distribution Facilities Gained and Royalties to Be Paid Monthly. The Black Swan Phonograph Company, founded in New York City by Harry H. Pace has entered into an arrangement by which it is to be merged with the Paramount Company, a producing corporation owned and operated by the Wisconsin Chair Company of Port Washington, Wis., conducting the New York Recording Laboratories in this city, with M. A. Supper as their representative. MICHIGAN C. BROWN AND HIS RISE FROM DINING CAR WAITER MICHIGAN C. BROWN AND HIS RISE FROM DINING CAR WAITER His Ability Recognized by Republican Leaders and He is Now Clerk in Municipal Court. We are often reminded by members of Tammany Hall of how that organization has given opportunity and responsibility in politics to its members until they have won fame in public life. But this has been no more true of colored Tammanyites than it has been of colored Republicans, for the Republican party in Harlem can point with pride to several successful Negroes who owe much of their success to party affiliation. A typical example of the growth of a man through politics is the story of Michigan C. Brown, assistant clerk of the Seventh District Court, and one of the active Republican workers of the 19th Assembly District. A few days ago a former employer, now an official of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was asked if he remembered Mr. Brown. He replied: "Certamy; I Black Swan Recognized Taken Over By Co., Big W President Pace Says Merger Stockholders in Colored Distribution Facilities Go Paid Monthly.

By this transaction, the unusual thing occurs of the merger of a big Negro company and a big white company. The negotiations covering the combination have been in process for several months. Mr Supper came to New York in January last and took up the matter with President Pace of the Black Swan and a tentative agreement was entered into with the board of directors. Mr Pace then went to Port Washington Wiss. and met the board of directors of the Wisconsin Chair (to bring the deal to a final settlement. The figures are not made public, but it is a practical certainty that the Black Swan Co. will receive not less than $50,000 for its phonographic interests. While the deal was in process another large competing company got wind of it and approached President Pace with a substantial counter offer but the Wisconsin people promptly hold the new offer and clinched its hold on the proposition. They take over the good will and trade name with the master plates of all the records herefore made by the Black Swan. Stockholders Protected President Face was called on by The Age and asked for a statement as to the effect the transaction would have on the interests of stockholders in the colored company. He gave the Age his personal assurance that stockholders will profit greatly by the transaction, as the Paramount Company will manufacture and distribute Black records from which Black Swan stockholders will receive definite payments each month. The following definite statement was given The Age by Mr. Face "The Black Swan Photograph Company as a corporation will continue in existence just as heretofore. It will become a holding company instead of an operating company. The Black Swan catalogue of several business master records is the most valuable in its kind in existence. Instead of a company operating that catalogue the Paramount Company will manufacture and distribute Black Swan Records from which the Black Swan Laws receive a definite amount each month."

(Special to The New York Age) Montgomery, Ala., charges of a most serious nature involving moral turpitude, are contained in sworn affidavits made by two former teachers at Snow Hill Institute, Wilcox County, Ala., against W. J. Edwards, principal of that institution. Both young ladies have resigned as teachers, their resignation being dated February 27, 1924, following an alleged attack by Edwards on February 21 on one of the teachers who had been called to his office supposedly on school business. The second teacher charges attempted assaults on her in the principal's private office, and also alleges that Edwards, while under the influence of intoxicants, attempted to enter her bed room at night after she had retired. Other charges embrace alleged indecency and intoxication, and are of a sort with similar charges made sometime ago by other female attaches of the institution. Copies of the sworn affidavits were filed with the board of trustees of Snow Hill Institute, and a committee of investigators were taken to bring the charges against Edwatty. This committee met here, in Montgomery and heard the stories of the two young women teachers, and left immediately for Snow Hill to continue the investigation. The young women left Snow Hill immediately after the alleged attempted assault on February 21, going to Tuskegee Institute for sanctuary, and coming here from that place, where, after consulting with the father of one of them, the resignations and charges were written, sworn to and forwarded to the school officials.

MONTGOMERY, MOUND BAYOU, MISS., DIED MARCH 6, 1924 Founder and Builder of Great Negro Town, Developer of Business Enterprise and Race Lover. Mound Bayou, Miss. — Isaiah Thornton Montgomery, founder and builder of Mound Bayou, one o f the largest Negro towns in America, died here on Thursday, March 6, at 1.40 o'clock, a.m. and was buried Sunday, March 9, from the Bethel A M E. Church, of which he was an active member, at 2 o'clock p. m. Born May 21, 1847, Mr. Montgomery was in his 77th year. Mr. Montgomery laid the beginnings of the town of Mound Bayou in 1887 when he purchased 1,000 acres of virgin land in the great Yazoo Delta where he built the first home and moved his family in 1888. With the cooperation of Major (george W. McGinnis, land commissioner of the L. & N.) & Texas R. R., with the assistance of a Mr. McCarty, civil engineer, the project of finding settlers for some 30,000 acres of rich alluvial land was taken up by Mr. Montgomery. The land was a rank growth of cane, briers and big timber, and innume able hardships had to be overcome by the pioneers in this movement but they persevered and today there are more than a thousand residents of Mound Bayou, surrounded by an agriculturally developed community of 3,000 people occupying the 30,000 acres originally selected by the founder Was a Dominant Figure The community, in its industrial expansion, has a gin and saw mill, a Farmers' Cooperative Mercantile Co. the largest business establishment in the town, and the Mound Bayou State Bank. Mr Montgomery was a dominant figure in all these enterprises. The latter years were devoted to developing the school system of the community and Mound Bayou now has a school building of the most modern type, costing to erect $115,000. But perhaps the most far reaching of his endeavors was the building up of the Mound Bayou National Farm Loan Association of which he was secretary-treasurer at the time of his death through which organization the farmers of this and neighboring communities were able to secure governmental loans and thus tide over various seasons of agricultural depression. Mr Montgomery was one of the founders along with the late Dr. Booker T Washington of the National Negro Business League was one of its earliest (Continued on Geognd Page) St. Cyprian's Chapel Starts Endowment Fund Drive For $100,000 With the Rt.

Some of the places, however, seem not to have been affected to this extent, and are already being used for other purposes. It is declared however, by persons familiar with the law, that all of these places will eventually be closed entirely and the owners of the premises will be deprived of all revenues during the life of the injunction. 20 Places Closed by Law Many Joints Still Running The rising of these places so far as the apparent outward effect is concerned, might be likened to the proveal drop off a bucket.

The Age called for the immediate investigation of the case of a drunken policeman, who in his frenzy shot up a Harlem cafe in the wild Western style shown on the films. This officer was a member of the special service division formed by Commissioner Enright to stop the illegal sale of liquor. The result of his wild shooting was the serious wounding of one of the occupants of the cafe and the hitting of another in the arm In view of the distorted accounts of the affair that were published in some of the daily papers, it is gratifying to note that the machinery of police investigation was promptly set in motion to probe the matter to the bottom. The inspector in charge of the district secured the names of the witnesses and a thorough investigation was promised. This is the only way to get at the facts in the case as already disclosed in The Age, and put them on record in the files of the department. If the stories told by the witnesses of the shooting and those who encountered the officer in his erratic career through the early part of the night, are verified officially, it will go far to establish his unfitness for police duty of any kind. The majority of the police force in New York is composed of men of decent and humane instincts who discharge their arduous and at times unpleasant duties with as little friction as possible. That a few of them are addicted to strong drink and under its influence become brutal and quarrelsome is not surprising. Such misconduct, however, should result in their dismissal from the service in which they figure as a public menace instead of a protection. Let the police probe do its full duty in this case, without fear or favor. The force must be purged of such dangerous elements MORE THIRD PARTY TALK. The Brooklyn Standard Union which still teta ns some of the olltime stalwart Republi canism accused into it by the late Murat Halstead recently avowed its belief that a third party might be a blessing in disguise. Following so close up, the expression of the New York Herald a few weeks ago that a three parts work which is a real confluent institution that indicates a significant trend of Republican thought and sentiment. The reason that underlie this expression as to the generality of a third party suffer in degree. The Herod would we come such a move as a means of taking the Republian party, its national members who have de- parted, on the traditional policy of protect- ing canals, as represented by Mr. Hirsch, the proprietor of that paper, and on the other hand, would me a third party as a mean of taking into the Solul South where, with the people in national attention, matters is a fraud and the m appea the s F ex it ol pla lim sa ha the Future the S abidt to ce t it w of the S Sout the S and cont as the S the S sect Kar The Starlight Lamp that was with the coming of the Republic is the greatest gift and not the least gift of the fact what that may show the cratute to progress Republic can. It would at least not be so. What would be more effective for Republic success however would be for the Re publicans to get back to basic principles and put new backbone into party policy. This would rally the dissatisfied elements which are now looking with anticipation to the formation of a new party. ADVANCE PUBLICITY. Not since the production of the Rev. Thomas, Dixon's notorious perversion of American history, called "The Birth of a Nation," on the films, has there been such a flood of advance notices as has preceded the coming of Eugene O'Neill's new play, "All God's Chillun Got Wings." Whether inspired, or not by a zealous publicity agent, the flood of comment in the daily press has been voluminous and at times a trifle venomous. The Dixon trick of sending provocative literature to prominent Negroes in order to arouse their protests against the production has not been tried. To those who are familiar with the not uncommon spectacle of two persons of different races mating legally in the bonds of matrimony, and leading a normal if sometimes isolated existence, it seems like a case of much ado about nothing. The editorial contention of the New York World that the production would be "an ill-advised performance" on the ground that "the marriage of white with Negro persons, defined as muscegenation, is illegal and punishable as a crime in more than half the States of the Union," is too narrow and inadequate to meet the issue, especially coming from "an institution that should always fight for progress and reform." Heywood Broun, an acute and discerning contributor to the same paper, in his column, "It Seems To Me," took a broader view when he said At the moment I am not going to debate the utility of laws against miscegenation. I do not intend to raise the question as to whether or not O'Neill's play indicates approval of the conduct of the characters whom he portrays. But I do want to protest against the theory that a playwright must be limited to lawabiding drama. The Old Soak and his friend Al committed acts which would have been illegal no only in Southern and border communities but in every State in the Union. More than that, Don Marquis, their creator, treated their trespasses with warm sympathy, if not with downright approval. As far as I can remember, the World did not inquire into the police powers of the State at the time "The Old Soak" was running on Broadway. There is no country in all this broad land in which Camille would not be subject to arrest because of her means of livelihood, and yet audiences are asked to weep over her misfortunes. They have wept consolently, and there has been no public movement to have the play withdrawn because Camille transgresses fundamental statutes. Hamlet suffered from the heresy of the Ku Klux Klan and undertook to take the law into his own hands. The play is still generally permitted Raffles was a thief, Jimmy Valentine a safe cracker, Cleopatra a courtesan, Tristan violated the Mann act, Rip Winkle deserted his wife Oedipus was incestuous, and the Pied Pipe the most flagrant kidnapper in literary history. It does not seem to me that any play should be condemned because it deals with conduct which is illegal in all Southern and border States A writer in the Morning Telegraph had an illnatured article in which he predicted that "Jim Crow theatres are to be the next novelty in New York," owing to the fact that there are so many "white and black and black and white and all black companies forming." According to his idea one half the house will be reserved for whites and the other half will be turned over to the Negroes. In a later issue of the same paper John S. Wise Jr. whose grandfather was Governor of Virginia when John Brown was hanged, was quoted as saying a few wise and many foolish things arent this play of O Neil. On the play itself he spoke rather moderately, considering his antecedents. "I don't see that any great harm can result from the production of M. O Neil's play. What if it does cause cuts and disorder?" We must have war There is nothing new in the problem that the play presents. These things do occur every day like the white man or woman making with the Negro. No good can result from it. The Anglo-Saxon was never meant to take the Anglo with the Negro. But he does and Mr. O'Neill is no doubt merely depicting a condition that exists. I regard Mr. O'Neill as a man who is a part it is interested in the possible gynaecia and the Negro. Perhaps I may be wrong but I think that heigma is treated in the marketing Burial characterization of Negroes as children incapable of original thought or action and the statement that their mental development stops at eighteen, show that Mr. Wise has not kept in step with modern research. Some scientists claim that the mental development of the bulk of Americans irrespective of race stops at the age of fourteen so Mr. Wise would place the Negro a little ahead of the average. As to devising an answer in an invention or constructive act performed by a Negro the names of Griffith, Wordsworth, electrical and George W. Carver, in chemical research would probably have no significance at all to Mr. Wise who judge all Negroes by the ten he has come in contact with in men's service as he specified. His opinion that all Negroes of intellectual attentions are not the credited to that the use of white blood with black blood in certain cases Mr. Wise treasures too much. an M. William K. Hale is a resident of Brooklyn and president of the organization known is the Legislative League of New York. His pro- spective result is testing against the contribution of the much enclosed play to by a member who endeared that the play was true life and should be given An amusing comment on all this hullabulloo appeared in the Boston Chronicle, which claims to be the "mouthpiece of 50,000 New England people" and "read only by worthwhile people." It said: While white folks protest play with white women marrying Negro, colored folks protest play because Negro marries white woman. Showing prejudice and prohibition aren't weaknesses of any one race. Perhaps Chinese will be only ones who'll pay box office to see the play. The advance publicity secured for this play shows a vital interest in the question presented, but the real test of its justification will be found in the conclusion of Mr. Broun, that if it is a good play "it ought to be produced. If it is a bad play it won't last long." So far the honors lie with the publicity agent, who has scored a big heap of advance notices, whether he was responsible for them or not. PHILADELPHIA POLITICS. Philadelphia politically is a stronghold of the Republican party, the machine organization there being like unto Tammany Hall in New York. The colored voters of Philadelphia, who are largely if not entirely adherents of the Republican party, it is claimed, represent one-tenth of the population. But they have not received a proportionate recognition in the apportionment of political patronage. Hence there are symptoms of dissatisfaction with the present management of the party. In fact it is charged, with every appearance of justification, that the organization leaders have failed to keep their promises to those of the race who sponsored the candidacy of Mr. Duckery in th elast mayoralty campaign. This accusation was made by Mr. Charles Fred White, in a letter addressed to the President of the City Councils. The writer of this letter is described as holding a $5,000 appointment, besides operating a prosperous real estate business, so his fight is not regarded as a selfish one. In his letter Mr White called attention to the fact that the appointments asked for had been agreed upon by the organization, which now attempts to evade its promises. He termed the men leading the organization as having proved themselves too selfish and too small to do the just thing and play fairly with the group of voters concerned. The support of Hon Gifford Pinchot for Governor was instanced as a proof of what these voters can do when they are aroused to action. Mr White affirms that the colored people of Philadelphia have begun to think for themselves and "even some of our old and contented followers are beginning to see that they have been duped politically." They are willing to unite behind any aggressive forward-looking man who will not sell them out, said Mr White, and help him to get what is due them. The only chance for the organization to entrench itself politically for the future, says this outspoken advocate, is by making the promised appointments Mr White is a vigorous pleader and he did not mince words in his letter of protest. But the Republican leaders in Philadelphia are a hard boiled lot and it may require a few defeats at the polls to make them see the light. But they should remember that the first article of any political creed is Keep every promise made to your constituents COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS The Savannah Tribune called attention to the fact that in comparison with the States Georgia is lagging in the rear in its treatment of the colored school system. It gives the following figures in support of this assertion. The percent of the white population is 58.1 and stood at 41.7. This can be readily seen that the percentage equal number. Yet, more the education given to the purposes for a gage $1,384,881 to white and only $1,384,881 to children. In cases clearer each year a recived $10,000 and a recived child received $2,881. Where the recived it? More expected the colored children of the white and they are allowed the greater amount. The result of the unequal apportionment of the apparent. The value of education is a means of making better terms has not yet dawned upon the schools authorities of many of the Southern States they wonder why migration continues. Hence compliance with law made breakfast priority the project. We can serve you also increase the size. We may later join the law breaking. We need a patent far to come.

Republican state con- tinuation after being named as a colored negate at argu- tion all Negro Democrats should be hung at trial. that he received prolonged applause, from the white Republicans but was hissed by those of his own race. The Leader said: 'We should ever bear in mind that we were all Negroes before we were members of any political party. Naming a Negro as one of the delegates to a Republican National Convention is about the biggest honor that the Republican party in Kentucky affords the race, and it. slinks into 'insignificance in comparison with the honors which come to Negroes in Illinois, New York and other States through the Democratic party. In New York there is a Negro Democrat on the Civil Service Commission, a position that pays a bigger salary, and is more honorable than that of any political job held by any Negro in this country. There is a Negro Democrat in the New York State Legislature. A few weeks ago a colored woman Democrat was appointed a member of the school board of New York City through the influence of Tammany Hall Democracy. These and many other Democrats have proven themselves worthy and are being so recognized by the party with which they are affiliated. They bring to the race in America more by the way of honor and recognition than that of an "instructed delegate" to a political convention, and we are wondering if Rev David means that these highly honored Negro Democrats should be hung. The political intolerance of which this preacher delegate gave so shocking an example is rapidly dying out among intelligent voters. The day when the late Senator Ingalls of Kansas could define a Negro Democrat as a political nonstrosity has long since passed away. The San Diego Eagle has a way of printing its pithy editorial notes under the heading of "The Eagle's Eye." It sized up the local religious situation as follows There are various denominations of religious precocious individuals to you four Baptists, two Methodists, and Seven Day Adventist, one Spiritualist, not to mention the Holy Rollers. All are working for one common cause and none with a fixed method. No program, just a church. A poor way to follow in the steps of the lowly Nazarene. From the time of His twelfth year to His crucifixion, He had His program. The elucidation of the most profound scholars can have no effect unless bickering, back biting and antagonism can be placed aside and the true preaching of the Word of God can be substituted. That is a pretty well discerned lot of denominations, which should meet the religious cravings of most any community. The recommendation as to a constructive program of church work and true preaching is worth consideration by both passors and people. How baseless charges of crime are faked against Negroes in the South was shown in the following case reported in the St. Luke Herald of Richmond. Arthur A Hirsch an employee at the First and Marshall Street corner store of the A & P Richmond chain of groceries and tea companies has sold his soul to the devil. He took money from the store in which he was employed, gambled it away around a gambling table, and when he knew that he could no longer hide his deeds pretended that Negroes entered the store and robbed it after knocking him unconscious by a blow over the head. He faked the pain so severely that he was hurried to the hospital apparently in a dying condition. After careful examination of the hospital staff of surgeons and doctors, no sign of a wound could be found about his body. Three suspicious Negroes were being held for the fake of me. Hirsch signed a confession that his statement was false and that he had taken the money himself. The Herald trained the white press for publishing the story with the softer message. That kindness is not often granted. The Kentucky Reprint published at Louisville announced that the Rising Suns of the District have met at our recent meeting of Internationals Why did it take so long? The Southern Union Committee of Constitute the great Republican State Convention to meet and discuss the issues we were Dr. H. Grace W. Dixon and I. W. H. Herbert W. L. Letter Andrews of the Baltimore Herbert and Communities to say to the her home, 1718 Famin street, when she was in the best possible health, and upon her -return- home, from New York City, she, in a conversation with Editor Loye, branded as utter falsehood some gossip respecting Mr. Baker's will that was in the air then, as it is with her now. The article concluded with the assurance that not a word of the gossip was true and "the sooner it is stopped the better it will be for all of us." If the Texas editor can silence the gossips in this fashion, he is a wonder. Unavoidable Consciousness From Democrat and Chronicle, Rochester, N. Y. Representatives of most of the large Negro organizations of the country meet in Chicago not long ago and voted to start a movement to establish in Washington a racial congress or conference body which shall work in the interests of the Negro race in the United States. Some papers are calling this an appeal to class consciousness and are saying that it should be heartily condemned as an effort to prevent true nationalization of the Negroes in the country. This seems quite unfair Negroes have race consciousness. How in the name of common sense can they help this? It is inevitable as a reflex from the class consciousness of our white races. If a Negro has any consciousness at all, consciousness of his race, and of certain limitations put on him because of it, is unavoidable. So any condemnation of Negroes for harboring race consciousness or class consciousness, if this name be insisted on, is nonseamless. They cannot help having this consciousness, and to make any appeal to Negroes in regard to special interests affecting them in a body is to appeal to race consciousness. This is no defense or any proposition that in motive looks to setting up in Washington another bloom animated by racial prejudices and acting to promote cleavage. But if the Negroes of the land are to be believed through their representations, the motive of this proposed Washington headquarters will be to advance the economies and social well-being of the Negroes, through better The Age Rea The Age Readers' Forum AN OPEN LETTER To Presidents of Negro Colleges I am a graduate of one of your colleges. I am also a product of the Graduate School of Business Administration at Harvard University. Up to a few months ago, most of my experience was in a professional junior executive position in the New England organization. I have seen how the average American attacks, and solves his difficult word problems. From my observation here in the South together with my experience and training elsewhere, I feel as though I might venture a few saddlight on the failure of our educational, social and business agencies to get actually down to bedrock and meet the condition of the Negro in America.

The fundamental principles of the Klan are prejudice. It has been expressed in a past through the nightingrid depressions of masked gangs, gangs composed of citizens who have duly paid the trance or initiation—fee for the pagee. Race prejudice in an organization neither masked nor secret can mark itself in no such open fashion, and a fact little more potent than race prejudice disorganized and unaware of who is likely to pay $10 for the act to a quiet morning or evening hate he could have for nothing? For the accomplishment of its use the Klan must work in secret and conceal the identities of members. Who it comes into the open it is subject all the laws and social inhibitions it govern civilized conduct.

A SUGGESTION It is all very well and good for a student to study about Ignatus, Fe, and Count d'Artois, but it is more important to attack the vital day problems and dispose of them. I agree also that Negro schools must have the same curricula as white schools, nevertheless our schools must have more than that we are to help a bengali people. The larger universities are tacking present day problems of education by adding numerous modern courses to their curricula and eliminating many of the ancient ideas on education. Negro schools must definitely link up with the condition of the masses, and through intelligent publicity, control the thinking apparatus of the min farthest down. Instead of taking an abstract provincial, and hypothetical point, view the college professor through the various business and fraternal organizations, should extricate himself from the academic environment and see what he is teaching is hitting the mark. Then, too, if he has no definite, practical target he should get one. A sample investigation would show that many instances some of the course taught miss the target entirely. I do seriously whether there is a single self-among us that has any instruction who covers legal reserve fraternal insurance. I appeal to our university heads to mulate a wave of really getting at problem—which is the common man Durham, N. ( tunate scarcity of Negro hospitals bodies.

It is often said that "comparisons are they are in order in this particular in respective merits of the actors in the theatre." In the general summary, after all, cast strikes a higher average. Some actors and possessing the technical skills the very fast of their being genuine. Neal always kept in mind that the white actor. As for the singing, it is more charge existing between the two organizations in Negro Spirituals as they only can be a sing so soulfully and feelingly is the singing. Several encores were taken and would develop into a singing rather than a Evelyn Ellis as Leola, the sister, her as an actress of unquestioned ability reached by the Negro in the realm of standard set by which all artists of higher performance in "Roseanne" no character is no need of indulgence in mental reseractress, she is a clever actress. Charles S Gilpin, the most distinguished cast, is a marked improvement over the Mt Zon Church scene he is a "singularly noticeable that he pays strict attention large Bible and wearing dust-covered clothing his former admirers. He knows. There is a question as to whether an author in the last act when Cucero Brown the mob. Is he as repentant a creature to be? It would be unfair and untrue to say in the title role as Crystal Hearne. She theories she ought not be expected to act. Crystal Hearne is a finished of years of experience on the stage and he study but very little actual experience be well. Only once did she rise to the coact. In most of the other scenes she lack more an example of self control than lack too quickly is pronounced. Lillian Brown as Sus Trimpy Snow, the original, as is Lloyd Gibbs as the role. Other members in the cast who are Brown as Rodney Margaret H Brown Alex Gray, Jeanne Roberts, Arthur G. Bessie Whitman, Walter Hilliard, Charles Turner and Joseph Loomis. Whether or not "Roseanne" will be Negro cast the present producers will those interested in the development of the thought that the present experiment giving preference to a competent colored "Roseanne" made its initial bow to New York theatregoers with an all-colored cast at the Shubert Riviera Theatre, Broadway and Ninety-Seventh Street, Monday evening. Many in the large audience had previously seen the play downtown presented by white actors and were present chiefly to make comparisons. It is often said that "comparisons are odious." This may be true. However, they are in order in this particular instance if we are to correctly gauge the respective merits of the actors in the two companies. In the general summary, after all points pro and con are totalled, the colored cast strikes a higher average some of its members are not nearly the polished actors and possessing the technical skill of their white predecessors; nevertheless the very fact of their being genuine Negroes adds much to realism. Formerly one always kept in mind that the-white actors were not the real thing but an imitation. As for the singing, it is more sharply differentiated than the racial distinctions existing between the two organizations in question. The colored actors are heard in Negro Spirituals as they only can be sung by members of the race. This ability to sing so soulfully and feelingly is the price paid by the Negro for untold suffering. Several encores were taken and at one time it looked as if the performance would develop into a singing rather than a dramatic entertainment. Evelyn Ellis as Leola, the sister, gives a sterling performance which stamps her as an actress of unquestioned ability. Her work clearly defines the distance reached by the Negro in the realm of emotional acting. She meets the high standard set by which all artists of high calibre must be judged. In appraising Her performance in "Roseanne" no charitable consideration is necessary. There is no need of indulgence in mental reservation. Miss Ellis is not a clever colored actress, she is a clever actress. Charles S Gilpin, the most distinguished and best known member of the east, is a marked improvement over the white actor who played the part. In the Mr Zion Church scene he is a "singing preacher" par excellence. It is agreeably noticeable that he pays strict attention to detail, such as preaching from a large Bible and wearing dust-covered clothing after spending a night in the swamp eluding his former admirers. He knows Negro life and faithfully depicts it. There is a question as to whether Mr Gilpin's interpretation is that of the author in the last act when Cicero Broun pleads to "Roseanne" to save him from the mob. Is he as repentant a creature as Nan Bagby Stephens would have him to be? It would be unfair and untrue to say that Rose McLendon is as convincing in the title role as Crystal Hearne. She is not According to accepted rules and theories she ought not be expected to measure up to Miss Hearne's high plane of acting Crystal Hearne is a finished actress who is what she is in consequence of years of experience on the stage and hard study. Miss McLendon has had some study but very little actual experience before the footlights. She does surprisingly well. Only once did she rise to the occasion That was at the end of the first act In most of the other scenes she lacked fire, she is more placid than hysterical, more an example of self control than lack of it Her tendency to pick up her lines too quickly is pronounced. Lillian Brown as Sus Trimpy Snow is a far more convincing character than the original, as Lloyd Gibbs as the Blind Singer Other members in the cast who make a good impression are C Edward Brown as Rodney Margaret H Brown as Sus Landy Gray, Louis Schooler as Alex Gray, Jeanne Roberts, Arthur Gaines, Minnie Johnson, Marian Laventore, Bessie Whitman, Walter Hilliard, Charles H Downz, Marian Taylor, John W Turner and Joseph Loomis. Whether or not "Roseanne" will make its way back to Broadway with a Negro cast the present producers will find in it a strong road attraction, and those interested in the development of Negro drama will find much comfort in the thought that the present experiment has fully demonstrated the advisability of giving preference to a competent colored cast when Negro life is to be portrayed.

AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE She was the rage of blase Broadway, a mystery woman whose secret was deep as the soul of Russia that lay hidden in her eyes. She was Olga Farnova, beautiful, luscious, desired by men. Of all the men who paid homage to fascinating Farnovoa (Mae Murray), none loved her so sincerely, so passionately as Eric Von Corland (Freeman Wood), the son of an old Knickerbocker family. So at last she summed to his entreaties, gave up her dancing career, and married him Boasting the blood of Russian nobility, Olga was accepted by Mrs Van Corland (Mathilda Brundage). Eric's mother. They were going to be very happy. But the past is not dead to the living and out of Farimova's past, like the hideous specter of a nightmare came Kamnoff (Flimo Lincoln), the man with a scar, and a vengeance unfulfilled. On the same ship that bore him from Russia was the pleasant girl Zita (Miss Murray), coming to this great strange country to find her sister. And the likeness of her sister on a photograph she showed to Kamnoff brought back to this sinister figure memories so bitter of a mighty long ago in a Russian dive and of a dangling girl and the scar she left him that Kamnoff schemed to make the innocent Zita the instrument of his revenge. West Va. Institute Five Defeats Wilberforce Team (Special Correspondence) Institute W Va. In a speedy hard fought game here in Marshall the West Virginia College Institute surprised the team at Wilberforce University and handed them their only defeat in fifteen games by the score of 23 to 14. An account of the game is a story of the triumph of teamwork over individual players. The Wilberforceans handled the fall like men who were familiar with everything connected with basketball. The dribbling and dribging of Pete Willett and Winfang Ward were exhibitions such as have never before been seen in the West Virginia court. The work of Hudson at center too was a wonder to play of that lanky lads at the handle a basketball. But Institute had a well drilled team of versatile and agile men who repeatedly kicked up the attempt in the Ohio state and which in turn shot a mass of carries the ball with start to end to the opponents goal. --- "Going White," a three-act drama by Floumoy Miller, is the attraction at the Lafayette Theatre this week. Unlike the play of last week this little drama has many points to recommend it to the atregoer. It is the story of a family of mulatto colored people who leave their home in the South because the son (Gus Smith) defends his sister from an attack by a white man and in doing so kills the man. He escapes and his mother and sister follow him into a northern city. The daughter (Edna Thomas) in order to get work passes for a white actress. After two years she is a star, with her mother (Dora Dean) acting as her maid How she is discovered to be colored by her manager (Barrington Carter) is the most interesting part of the play. But as he has invested a large amount of money in the show, he does not at once give her racial identity to the public. She is finally, however, forced out of the show business and two years later the brother and son completes a course in dentistry and is able to support the family in Chicago. Their happiness is complete when a former neighbor in the South (Annie Freeman) visits them and tells Tom that the man he was supposed to have killed did not die from the blow he struck and that he was not wanted by the police. The play is short but well staged and the acting of Edna Thomas and Annie Freeman was especially good. As the gossipy neighbor, Miss Freeman, turnsishes plenty of comedy relief to an otherwise serious situation It is unfortunate that the intellectuals who witnessed last week's show did not come out to encourage a much more worthwhile dramatic effort The attraction at the Lafayette the week of March 17 will be Manne Smith and her Jazz Hounds, and Joe Shettell's Revue. Peerless Girls Five and Brooklyn "Y" in Tie Game In a basketball game between he Brooklyn Y. W C. A., and the Peerless Five, played at the "Y" court, Saturday afternoon, February 23, the two teams appeared pretty well matched. The score was tied several times during the game, and at the final stillet was 13 13. After an additional five minutes play, the score still remained 13-13, and the two teams agreed to end the game. The Peerless Five defeated the Mysterious Five in their third game at St Mark's Hall, February 15th. The score was 14-12, giving the Peerless a victory of two out of three games played.

The Panthers played their best game of the season and exhibited that wonderful fighting spirit which the Union teams have been known to exhibit. the last The court was small and the ceiling low. These factors at first put the "Seasiders" at a slight disadvantage but they soon over came them. The guarding was fast and close.

Man has a lyric voice of great sweetness, and he uses it with all.

At times he have gotten rid of it and his voice would ring out with a rarity and resonance, as was the case when he sang the high note in hear a thrush at eve," but it invariably returned, and it was in presence in the final number, "Onaway, awake, Beloved!" from Coleridge-Hawatha's Wedding Feast."

The "Hiawatha" number would have been more effective at stage of the program, and I would suggest the example set by Roland placing the Negro Spirituals always at end of recital. At first sight, arrangement aroused curiosity, but the first concert sung by Hayes had proved it to be a most excellent idea. Moss sang the following numbers: "For you alone" (Giehl); "I know garden" (d'Hardelot); "Like stars above" (Squire); "I hear a thrush calman." "Who knows?"

Yesterday, ERLANGER ZIEGELD and DILLINGHAM combined for better MUSICAL COMEDY-To-day B. P. KEITH, P. F. PROCTOR and B. S. MOSS have pooled interest for bigger VAUDEVILLE-Why not at least three of our PROMOTERS, CON-TRACTORS or ORCHESTRA LEADERS, combine their GOOD-WILL, backed by CHARACTER and a BUSINESS CHARTER, to maintain, enlarge and PERPETUATE our line? All that is required is calmness, a clear understanding and COURAGE. The field of operation is open here in NEW YORK, and the time of our ENDEAVOR is NOW! Whether we want to admit it or not, as we are constituted, we are PARTNERS at least, but, without understanding—to say nothing of full knowledge of PARTNERSHIP. And there is an undercurrent of distrust and open rebellion against PARTNERSHIP. RESPONSIBILITIES—nity thought of overhead, big or little. Referring to our columns in The New York Age of Saturday, February 23, 1924, we called attention to the Season of 1917 and 1918. Practically the 'same personnel in one combination worked thirty weeks under our contract, making a gross of over $25,000, and three men of the combination refused to pay the agreed five per cent commission. Litigation against the management of the ORCHESTRA revealed the fact that the five per cent had been deducted, but the protest of the men in question (and of importance to the ORCHESTRA) was that they would quit if the money was paid the contractor. It was another case of contract jumping, so familiar and to common with some SINGERS and PLAYERS. The litigation also brought out and emphasized the fact that MEMBERSHIP CORPORATIONS have no right to do business for pecuniary gain; hence the MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS of all kinds so badly ORGANIZED Finding it next to impossible to operate and protect our investment as we were—we proceeded to organize a BUSINESS CORPORATION as the BACKBONE of the struggling MEMBERSHIP CORPORATION, with the combination referred to above, as the nucleus of the new project. The combination as a whole signed their names and pledged again to support the business idea. All being untonized it was easy to go on. So a BUSINESS CHARTER was secured to annex business with our former investment which was without LEGAL protection, and through the BUSINESS CORPORATION stock could be sold and enough money realized to relive our former effort of all responsibility not set forth—nor could be set forth in the MEMBERSHIP CHARTER. The outcome of the venture is recorded history, and can be had at will. These experiences brought home to us much valuable KNOWLEDGE where only some sort of OPINION existed before, and we are now doing bigger and better things and will become stronger as we go further. We stand still only because not enough ENERGY, VITALITY and CONSISTENT WORK ARE DEVOTED TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES Mme. Mason to Sing.

Across the wide black cover on a peel of white back-ground is engraved in large red and blue letters "POEMS." On the first page we find the following: MY BOOK OF POEMS "Laboro Parestare"( "I Labor to Excell"). To Be A Postess. On the third page is: "Dedicate to the personal memory of myself and works." Originated May 16, 1922. On the fourth page is the preface. Here I try to explain my purpose and aim for writing this book, and that my intention is not to broadcast my work but more for a personal memory to myself. Therefore I kindly ask "everyone who by chance may get a glance at this book, remember, it is my personal memory book and pass over mistakes without casting a critical eye upon its contents and you will do a good deed towards me by doing so." On the sixth page is the "CONTENTS." I am going to pick out the best poems and tell you in the best way I can about them in my next two articles. The first poem we find is "Tijen Tis Spring." As it is so very near spring I am going to give you this poem in this article. Without any alteration at all I am repeating the poem just as it is written in the book. This poem is listed with some of my oldest ones, composed in 1921. THEN TIS SPRING. When the old oaken tree gives out it's leaves, That have hidden all the winter. When the budding flowers peeps out to see, What the wonderful outside world might be Then 'tis spring: When the baby birds start fluttering their wings And the laughing brook begins to sing, And the wind play hide and seek with with the rain, As it dashes against the window pane, Then 'tis spring: When all the earth seems full of glee, And the Sun play take and give with the Sea, When the happy children with gladness are singing, And on the bough the sparrow is swinging. When all the earth seems calm and mild. And fond memory carries me back To the days when I was a child. When the March wind blow, and the showers pour, Then 'tis spring All these signs and many more, Tells us what we want to know. Now let us all in glad song sing, To welcome the happy days of spring. DEAREST SISTERS This is my third lecture on Applied Psychology by Mrs McCollum, a noted lecturer and author I wish it were possible for each one of you to have been there. She has a magnetic personality and every evening when she came out to deliver her lecture she would bow, and smile so sweetly and say, "How are all of you this evening?" and then everyone would say, "Fine and dandy—Why shouldn't we be?" The sub-conscious mind is my favored subject You are listening to me with your conscious mind, you are thinking and arguing, and you should. The day is gone when people follow like a herd of sheep There are different types of intellect For instance, If you had a headache and asperine will relieve you, you will use them regardless of what I say Each individual is going to take and modify everything I say. Out from the conscious mind there has been a great discovery since Jesus came 2,000 years ago,—this discovery of the sub-conscious mind Your conscious mind reason and judges everything I say, but you will draw a conclusion and you are gently leading down to the realm of the sub-conscious mind and idea, a power You are a spark of the divine you never came into existence you always were. The sub conscious mind does not argue or reason but works out just what is handed to it. "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he." It is all mind. Everytime an idea enters your mind you have a change in law. You are consciously aware that I am here and this beautiful bouquet of flowers is near me. I wonder how much of you are aware of the powers of the sub-conscious. You don't know how to heal your heart how to grow finger na. you to grow hair on your head. You must do these things except for one humble of as the Master said. I except you become as a little child the business of ing last of this to meet the need of which we are one in the conscious powers, should be done forth. We need change our esteem value, to evolve our self-abilities to actualize the next is called merita (tendency to come where you are and know nothing at it). We are all content to be nert when we are powerful. These powers will liberate us one per cent of our powers in the conscious mind. 90 per cent is evolved in the subconscious mind. You are indeed a sleeping genius. The first requirement is actually wish to grow. The minute you want a thing bad enough, you will get it. As soon as you are ready to receive these things, you will have right on it. You are going to have that one thing needed. To evolve your sense to what you are, like serve, and grow on this earth. I every man there openeth a way, and way, and a way. And the high soul climbs the high way. Add the low soul grope the low And in between on the miety flat. The rest drift to and fro But now to every man there openeth A high way and a low And every man decideeth Which way his soul shall go. "PIT-a-PAT." It has been such a long long time since I've written to the column that I feel like quite a strategist, and I guess I am! How are all of you? I am feeling fine and have just finished a week's vacation *uring* which time I enjoyed myself thoroughly Now, next week I must go back to school and start studying even harder. "Fay," I was delighted to hear from you and you must surely write again. "Pit-a-Pat," "Tiny," and "Wilhelmina," you mustn't adopt my habits. Please write, as I am looking for a letter from you all. Girls, especially "Wilhelmina" and "Pit-a-Pat," I hope you will forgive me for my past negligence. I will endeavor to do much better from now on. Lovingly, Here I am again. How is everyone and what have you been doing? "Wilhelmina," your letters are very interesting. Isn't it lovely, girls, to think that very soon summer will be here again? If any of the girls are thinking of coming to New York, please let me know. I am putting my name and address at the end of this letter. I am getting married the first part of June, my fiance comes from Athens, Ga. "Wilhelmina," all the Wonder Girls are going to be my bridesmaids; there are ten of them. The Wonder Girls gave me a lovely surprise shower about a month ago. We meet every Friday evening at one of the girls' homes, so this Friday I went to club meeting as usual at "Bubble" "house, and there were quite a few boys there. I thought that was funny as we never have boys at our meetings. I asked "Snookums" what the boys were doing there and she said, "oh they were just some friends, to take the girls home after the meeting", and I believed it until my mother came in and a few other ladies. But I had a lovely time and they gave me some very useful presents "Marshmallow." I am writing you a letter too. My name is Audrey Bolden, 313 East 54th street. New York. Goodbye girls.

C. C. SPAULDING, President J. M. AVERY, Secretary 8-5-8t general manager, suggested that, colored men be employed wherever the company was short of help. The suggestion was trown upon at first. The management said, "we need skilled men, mechanics—we can not find enougil colored men to do the work." Mr.arker insisted that he could get them and with faint hope, the management said "Do to it." And this was where our friend proved himself another Booker T. Washington—that is, he had to undergo many hardships to gain his object in fact, he had to stoop to conquer. Just at that time the South was having labor troubles of its own and it, was from the south that Parker expected to get his labor, and to induce laborers to leave the South at this time entailed great danger, and a Negro doing so, if caught, would have had as much chance of escaping a coat of tar and feathers as a snowball would have in another "Black Tom" explosion. However, Parker took his chances. He traveled 'jim crowed;' in some places it was necessary for him to disguise himself, in others he was subjected to humiliations, but he accomplished his mission. After making a tour of the Negro schools where mechanics are trained and visiting the mecahinal shops of the different cities and towns, disguised as a workman, he returned to Chicago and informed the management that he had the mechanics and other help they needed. Shofly after that, the company had trouble with its laundry workers in one of its laundry plants. Again, Mr. Parker said "Give my people a chance." The fact that he could get Negro mechanics was sufficient proof that he could go. Negro laundresses, so there was no hesitancy in allowing him to try. Since then, the Pullman Company has employed Negro workers in every department of its vast industrial system. It employs more colored people than any other single corporation in APARTMENT TO RENT IN THE "WESTMINISTER" ELEVATOR The Most Beautiful House In New York References Required 6, 7, 8 and 10 Rooms 355 West 145th St Cor: St. Nicholas Ave. See Superintendent ForSale 5 Rooms and Bath Gas, Electric sewers and heat.

One one-hundredth' percent of the Negro population of the United States are Pullman employees and when one remembers that 50 percent of them became employees through the segregation and efforts of one man, there is nothing to do but admit that he is deserving of much credit. It might be interesting to know why Mr. Parker was chosen as confidential agent by the manager of the company. Some years ago, the management heard rumors that the porters were very much disatisfied with the conditions existing in their respective districts. So, with a view toward finding out if conditions were as bad as they were said to be, the company summoned a representative porter from each of its various districts to Chicago to attend a conference. Mr Parker was one of the representatives who attended the conference and Mr. Hungerford, the manager, asked each porter there, "How is your district?" "Are the men treated alright?" "Are the men represented answersed," "Yes, sir, my district is alright." The manager continued, "You have nothing to complain of then?" "Same reply, 'No sir,'" The manager said to Parker, who was representing the Cincinnati district. What have you to say—is your district alright?" Parker answered, "Mr Hungerford, my district is rotten." Then he went on to enumerate the abuses which existed in his district. He ended by saying, "These men have lied to you, they have not told you the truth—they are afraid to." Of course the manager had admitted that there was some truth—these rumors, but he wanted the men to say 'so' Anyway, from that day Perry Parker got the reputation of being a man who had backbone, and the manager decided that he was too valuable a man to remain a mere porter. It may be said to his everlasting credit, that at no stage of the game has he ever attended to deceive or betray his former fellow workers. We heard an old porter remark, the other day, "Perry Parker is a great man." We said, "Why do you think so." "Well, he said, considering that he is in the official family and must always give the management his first consideration yet he is always doing something to help us, either directly or indirectly." Negroe, of Mr Perry Parker's calibre are wanted in many other places besides the Pullman service—if we observe rigly @ Spring St. Treatam N.

Calendar Clubs Develop Fine Comradeship They are having splendid monthly joint meetings of the Calendar Clubs in the Membership Department. There are twelve Calendar clubs and, formerly, they meet separately. For the present, however, four clubs meet together and this engenders a fine spirit of comradeship in the work and helps all to know each other better. The first part of the meeting is given to business; a social help follows, and there is usually an informal program and, often, a cup of tea. There is, in this Branch, a splendid membership in a group of earnest, interested women, who are willing to bear any responsibility that means more opportunity, and help for the girls. This Branch is, here, for the advantage of every girl and woman in Harlem and in ten thousand—instead of the thousand thousand will be joined in part in its work by joining troops with the membership. The swimming pool grows in popular daily. It! It is a fine place in which to keep fit and to find on end of fun.

On March 27 there will be a swimming contest between the girls from Lincoln and the girls from Harlem Hospitals. There will be a ropogonian Abyssinian and Mt Calvary Churches. There are large and active groups in the hospitals and churches in the Physical Department. It is splendid to see the girls—who have had facilities for physical work so short a time—building up fine healthy bodies and enjoying fellowship in wholesome recreation with other girls. On Saturday, March 1, the basketball game between the girls St. Markeau and St. Mary's Reserve team was marked by a fine spirit of sportsmanship and friendliness. The score was 28-10 in favor of the "Y" girls. Interest runs high on Saturday afternoons in the poster-making and interior decorating classes. The hour is 2.30 and the courses are designed for practical use. On Wednesday evenings there are two classes of special interest—Designing and Draping, and a new class in crochet heading to beginners.

There were lour services, and the Sunday-school. At 11 a.m. the priest and choir sang the Litany. The choir also sang two beautiful anthems. Taking as his subject, 'Prayer and Fasting,' lather I. Elliott Durant told the congregation that prayer and fasting were essential in the Christian life, because they strengthened character and brought the individual closer to God. Prayer and fasting he defended, were the only weapons to successfully combat the evil in the human nature which helped us to make a stand against the world, the fierce enemy.
