More than 2000 people were at the dock on arrival of the steamer, and the Catholics of St. Patrick's Parish gave the most cordial and enthusiastic welcome to Monsignor O'Keefe, who is making a tour of the Caribbean islands, accompanied by his life long friend and fellow priest, Monsignor Chadwick, formerly chaplain on the U. S. S. Maine, which was aunk in Havana harbor.
Greeted With Flowers
Father Howard Joseph Harold of St. Patrick's, accompanied by Arnold M. Golden, a local churchman, went out in a boat and escorted the distinguished visitors sahore. On landing, the fathers, mothers, pupils of the parochial school and other members of the congregation, greeted them with beautiful flowers. The Drum and Fife Corps of the school played the National Anthem and the children sang the "Welcome Song."
More than 500 children were in the receiving group, and the monsignors were escorted from the dock to the grounds of St. Gerard's Hall, where more than 1,000 of the parishioners had assembled, and where the visitors were introduced by Mr. Golden, who had been formerly a member of the St. Benedict's congregation in New York City. Following his welcoming remarks, Mr. Golden read a poem dedicated to "Monsignor O'Keefe on His Visit to St. Croix" and written by Miss Marte Richards.
Appreciates Welcome.
In his response, Monsignor O'Keefe told of having known Mr. Golden in New York thirty years ago, and that when Mr. Golden returned to Saint Cross St. Benedict's had lost one of its best members. He expressed deepest appreciation of the surprise welcome which had been given him by the Virgin Islanders, and that he hoped soon to make a more extended visit to the islands.
Monsignor Chadwick was then presented by Monsignor O'Keefe, and told of his delight at the warm reception given his friend and companion, with whom he had been acquainted since entering school forty-five years ago. The gathering received the blessing from Monsignor O'Keefe before dispersing.
The surprise welcome came about through a cablegram sent Mr Golden, by William Henry Morales, a Virgin Islander now in New York, and a former protegee of the late Louis M. Golden, advising of the prelates impending arrival.

Kittrell, N. C—Mrs. Jennie M. Hunter, widow of the late Dr. E. H. Hunter, widow of the late Dr. E. H. Hunter, one of the ablest ministers of the A. M. E. Church, after his passing gave a check for $250 to Kittrell College, G. A.

She also gave many sets of dishes for the dining hall, and recently without solicitation, knowing the need of the school and being in sympathy with the present administration, she sent a check for $1,000, which is publicly acknowledged.

This gift is especially appreciated at this time as the school has about completed a new $250,000 library building which must be stocked with books.
Rosenwald Day To Be Observed By Schools
Nashville, Tenn — Rosenwald Day will be observed in schools and colleges throughout the South on March 1, with special programs and ceremonies. The movement to celebrate the great benefactor of Negro rural education began last year and was successful conducted in the United States. In Tennessee the leading colleges and universities are planning elaborate chapel prorgams for the occasion. At A. & I. State College the principal speakers will be S. L. Smith of the Rosenwald Fund, D. A. Forbes, R. E. Clay, Tennessee Rosenwald agent, and President W. J. Hale. We are proud of 4,138 Rosenwald separate buildings for shops and teachers' homes standing in fourteen Southern States. These schools represent an investment of $20,000,000. Of this total the Negroes have contributed approximately $4,000,000; white citizens have raised by direct gift $10,000,000; public tax funds have entered to the extent of approximately $12,000,000; and $1,000,000 have been given by Mr. Rosenwald. In 1927 he received the William E Harmon award for distinguished achievement in race relations

FLORIDA NEGRO
LYNCHED FOR
ALLEGED ATTACK
Taken From Tampa Jail
On Fake Letter Or-
dering Delivery
Brooksville, Fla.-Buster Allen, 18-year old Negro of Croom, twelve miles east of here, was lynched Monday night, February 18 after beng removed from a Tampa jail on a fake letter. It was alleged by Sheriff N. B. Cobb, that Allen attacked a girl last Saturday. A special session of the grand jury has been called to investigate the case. According to the sheriff's statement, Hernando county officers were notified of the attack and captured the Negro soon afterwards. News of the alleged crime soon spread over the country side and the prisoner was removed to Tampa by automobile for safe keeping.
Brought Fake Order.
Monday night two men appeared at the Hillborough county jail with a letter which they claimed had been written by Sheriff Cobb ordering the Negro delivered to them for return here, the body was found by passing mother T.J.

Beauty Preparations Co. Is Charged By Druggist With Using Unethical Methods In Advertising Its Goods
According to information furnished The New York Age by one of its readers, who is also operating a large drug store in Jersey City, one of the companies manufacturing preparations for improving the hair and skin of Negro patrons is not only trying to build up its business by a catering to supposed superstitious inclinations within the race, but is also appealing to the white drug trade by dubbing prospective Negro customers as "darkies."
"Harlem," the new play about Negro life in New York City, which opened at the Apollo Theatre, 42nd street West of Broadway, on Wednesday evening. February 20, is not for Negro theatre-goers, said the press representative, C. A. Leonard, to a representative of The Age. No advance publicity was sent any of the Negro papers, nor were any sent tickets for the opening. The Age has been informed.
When inquiry over the telephone as to the reason for apparent slight of the colored press was made, Mr. Leonard replied that the show was

The offending company is clled
as the Golden Brown Co. of Memphis, Tenn., originally founded by the late Mme. Hightower Since her death, the company, it is reported, has passed into the hands of men of another race, and it is this present management which is charged with responsibility for the slurring references to Negroes, and for the use of the unethical methods in trying to increase the volume of their business.
Offers "Good Luck" Bag.
The Age informant states that recent advertising matter sent out to druggists by this company, and, supposedly, intended to be sent only to white dealers, offers a "good luck" bag which, according to their claim, is "not sold at any price. A thousand dollars would not buy one, but you can have one free." The bag is described as being "an Algerian Majo Bag, containing certain rare ingredients, including snake root, lucky stones and other things supposed to bring good luck to the wearer." And in a circular letter to druggists, the company is quoted as writing:
"THE AVERAGE DARKY WILL BE VERY GLAD INDEED TO GET ONE OF THESE DYED-IN-THE-RED LUCKY BAGS."
And in another paragraph of the same letter occurs the expression, "We are carrying on an extensive industry in trade publications, magazines and in other mediums that the darky reads."
Another circular, which says The Age's informant, was evidently intended for distribution to the Negro trade, purports to quote the late Mme Hightower as saying, "Remember, we do not want to be
Dr. R. R. Moton Speaks To Agriculturalists At Dallas, Texas
Tuskegee, Ala.-Dr. Robert R. Moton and a party have returned home after a pleasant trip to New Orleans and Texas Dr. Moton, who is principal of Tuskegee Institute and president of the National Negro Business League was the principal speaker at the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding work, which was observed at Dallas, Texas, last week. He addressed 2500 people in the city auditorium of whom about 800 were members of the Negro race. While in Texas the party was also entertained by local business leagues of Dallas and Houston and by the Y. M. C. A. group of Fort Worth They also stopped in Prairie Vew. En route they stopped in New Orleans and were lavishly entertained. The party included Albon L. Holsey, G. Lake Imes, T. M. Campbell and Director Atkins of the Agricultural Department of Tuskegee.
primarily for "white consumption" and that perhaps later on some advertising would be carried in the colored press. He did not seem particularly enthusiastic to have the colored press review the play. This attitude is one of marked contrast to that adopted by Lew Leslie, producer of "Blackbird," and David Belasco, when he produced "Lute-Belle," another successful play in which a large number of colored people appeared. A large part of the success of these two shows may be directly traceable to the support given them by colored patrons.

Will Not Sell Goods
The Jersey City druggist expresses his indignation at the character of the Golden Brown Co.'s advertising matter in the following words:
"It is quite insulting to know that the Golden Brown Co. is endeavoring to build up a greater volume of business among my people by the encouragement of a supposed superstition. But that a company composed of men willing to O K the copy on this advertising matter (it reads like the product of an 8-year old), that they should refer to us as 'darkies', we who supply their bread and butter this is the last straw

Community Awards Made By Cleanup Bureau
Taukeegue Institute, Ala.-Cities and rural communities rated highest in the observance of National Negro Health Week, March 31 to April 7, will be awarded silver loving cups by the National Clean-Up and Paint-Up Bureau of New York City, according to announcement made here by Alton L. Hosey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, under whose auspices the observance is promoted.
The awards will be made as follows: To the rural community (county wide) making the best showing in the observance to the city of less than 100,000; and to the city of more than 100,000. An additional sweepstakes prize will be awarded to whichever of the three prize winners that in competitive comparison with the other two receives the highest rating.

The bureau seeks to stimulate interest in cleanliness and health by this means. The number of cities and communities entering the annual contest has steadily increased. Last year more than sixty reports were received.
Prizes were awarded at the meeting of the Business League in New York last August as follows. To Montgomery County, Maryland for the best showing among rural communities; to Henderson, tucky, for the best showing among cities of less than 100,000; and to Cincinnati for cities of more than 100,000.

16 Negroes Killed As Tornado Sweeps Through Three States
Memphis, Tenn. — Tornadoes sweeping through three States Monday, February 25, took a toll of twenty-two dead, scores injured, swept down intervals, the winds swept down Northeast Texas, northwest Mississippi and southeast Arkansas, striking with the greatest fury at Duncan, Miss., a village with a population of 450. Out of the known dead at Duncan, 8 of the fourteen killed were Negroes.
In Texas two Negroes were killed at Grand Prairie. In Mississippi, 6 Negroes were killed when they were crushed to death in their homes. On a plantation 11 miles north of Marks, two Negroes were killed.
The twister struck Duncan at 2:30 p. m. and swept diagonally across the business section. All power was cut off and while rescue workers searched the wreckage in darkness, National Guardsmen patrolled the vicinity to prevent booting and vandalism.
Damage to the town and nearby communities was considerable but authorities made a complete check of the workers. The loss of life is also expected to be raised as rescue workers were busily engaged in searching the ruins.
C CENTS IN TEN CENTS IN
J J. A FOREIGN LAND
The class numbered 108, a final body of people, young and old, and Bishop Shipman, in expressing his gratification, took occasion to declare that this first confirmation group of St. Martin's held unsuspected power for the christianization of the community, city and state
Bishop Shipman Pleased
In his address, the bishop exphesed his gratification at the work which is being accomplished in this new field by the Rev. Mr. Johnson, and deplored the fact that the church's present capacity was insufficient to accommodate the vast crowd that came to witness the service.
Speaking to the class, Bishop Shipman said: "Unassisted power lay in the hands of this the first confirmation class of St. Martin's. If those confirmed will allow God to use you, not only will beautiful Harlem be saved, but the city, the state, the country, and, yes, the world will be conquered for Christ."
The Rev. John Wesley Johnson, vicerate of St. Oppianus Chapel, West 61rd street, father of St. Martin's vicar, under whose direction youmer Johnson has developed into a powerful exponent of the church's work in the community, assisted in the service.
The Morning Service
"Vanity" was the theme chosen Sunday morning by the vicar. The sermon was based on the text as found in the 8th verse of the 30th chapter of Proverbs: "Remove far from me, vanity."
"The Jews, were destined to become a great people, to take their places" in the front rank of the nations of the world, but because of their exclusiveness and great vanity," said Rev Johnson, "they have been scattered to the four cornerstones." "Generally speaking, since life is so brief and uncertain and because man has such a limited control over his destiny, nothing human has a right to be vain.
Causes of Vanity.
In making the personal application, Mr Johnson asked the question "What are some of the causes of vanity. Two of the fundamental causes are religion and education. Christ illustrated how deeply He understood the working of the human mind and the feelings in the human heart in the parable of the Pharisee and the sinner. Christians, instead of being humble, are prone to thank God that they are not like other men. Also education sometimes tends to fill a person with an undue amount of pride
"But if we would attain the estimable aims for which we are striving—that of getting ahead in this world as well as being true disciples of Christ then we should practice true fellowship and the spirit of fraternity, remembering that 'Pride goeth before a fall' and that 'a little learning is a dangerous thing.' Thus we will gain the goodwill of our fellows and become a real-influence for good in the community."
Flowers for the altar were contributed by Miss L. Gregg in memory of her mother, by Mrs. L. Penn for her father, Mrs Ashby for her grandmother, and Mrs Burke in honor of the confirmation daughter.

He is vice-president of Tagore's famous school for Indian youth at Santineketan in Bengal.
Appeal for Sympathy
Addressing the Sociology Club of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Andrew, Mr. Jacob and Mr. Johnson made appeals for an interchange of sympathy, understanding and love among Indians, Africans and Afriamericans "Tuskegee and Santiketan should be welded together in the same spirit, for they have spiritual qualities in common, and both should reach hands across seas to help Africa Leaders of Indian, African and Afriamerican thought should cultivate closer associations so that they may be the better able to understand one another," said Dr. Andrew. Mr Jacob young Indian row attending Columbia University, and a former student of Dr. Andrew, expressed appreciation for the services which his former teacher is rendering to India and joined him in urging closer union of the darker races.
"It is not money that we seek from our brothers in America, nor wholesale migration to the motherland," declared Mr. Johnson. "Rather it is sympathy and understanding of our struggle for advancement And Africa is advancing. She has a future. She will herself and will take her rightful place among the nations of the world. We will recain all that we have lost Europe."
Dr Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, assured the speakers of Tuskegee's appreciation of their problems and desire to aid in any possible way Cablegrams were sent to Tagore and Gandhi expressing this sympathy and understanding

stands, Mr De Priest 1s under indictment

the should be placed on trial. He is of
wourse entitled to the presumption of in-

both “houses of Congress have of late
years shown a disposition to be « trifle
finical in the admission of new members

Ware, the Republican boss o1. the city of
-Philadelphia, The grounds for exclusion
Sin such cases may not always be politr-
cal, or because of the failure to represent
a majority of the voters of the commun-
ity, but may be ascribed to the general
ground of moral fitness or character. A
man may possess all the quahfications
demanded by the constitution, and may
have received a greater number «i votes
than auy of his opponents, yet 1 Con-
gress does not want him as 2 member,
he may be excluded. And this 1s because
each house is the sole judge of the eligi:
Dility of its membership
Tn view of the personal chevacterisucs
“wand the tendency to vatuperation, and at
‘times personal violence om the part of
tertain members from the South, it is
" purious that neither house has endeav-
“pred to exclude any of them on the
ground of persorial unfitness, especially
gs their utles to their seats ate based on
the suppression of the suffrage “This ef
fort at exclusion is most frequently exer:
cised against Republicans. or once in 2
Vpwhile, a Socialast, by the combination o|
iRepubhicans with Democrats
So 1é objection 1s raised to administer

Priest, it may not be solely on account

indictment against him could esther be
Brought to tral or dismissed before he 1s

- Among those who voted to withdraw
the marines from Nicaragua was Senstoy
Borah, which was in contrast with his
faction in the previous session, when he
was in favor of keeping them there, until
after the election. « Now that the election
is over, he takes the view that the ma-

an armed force in Nicaragua is significant
as to the future prospect of the prolong:

The resolution introduced by Senator
King of Utah, calling for the return of
the marines and the ending of the occu-

buried in committee, was defeated with-
out a rolk call. ‘The evidence taken by

CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
---
St. James Pres. Church
The final Sunday in February was a day of marked interest in St. James, with a large interest in St. James' center, a morning children's sermon by the pastor William Lloyd Ims, based on Isaiah 55. The general sermon, The Church and the Drama, was a portrayal of the church's community, its faith, and its honest-minded leaders in artistic and the pastor took occasion to praise those colorful artists of the drama who, in spite of difficulties, have made great things, and have made worthy contributions, with all mentioned three outstanding plays with deep moral purpose; "Mr. Moneypenny" by Chamming Pollock, "The Revolt" by Henry Griggle, and "The Griggle" by Ethan Morrison. "In these examples, the pastor said, 'we find the deep desire to express moral truth in noble and artistic form. In such fields of effort, the Church should help us and the Dracula with the Church."

Bethel A. M. E. Church
Last Sunday was observed as Social Service Day at Bethel Young People's Lyceum. Short talks were given by Miss Ethel Cairn, Attorney at Law, and James H. Hubert of the New York Urban League. The main address was by Duse Mohammed Alt, historian and lecturer, of Egypt and North Africa, who brought interesting facts and pleaded for race pride among the African ancestry as proof of the fact. He also stated that Christ was a black man, as well as Moses and Noah.
There was a resitiation by Master Will Jones, and musical selections by Mediasene L. J. Sullivan, Laude Jones, Candis Day and Em Etm Booker, Mrs. Lottie B. Wade was mistress on ceremonies and Mrs. L.

Sanders, by the Samuel Westfield is president and Miss Imlair Dunny, secretary, Oscar De Brunet, conductor. Concert will be at Refuel next Sunday afternoon at four o'clock.
We cannot say whether the pastor received his inspiration from the beautiful flowers that adorned the altar or not but we are not sure. The pastor has the oldest sermons it has been our pleasure to listen to on Sunday morning to a large and appreciative audience. Hebrews 3.3 was the text chosen. 2 p.m. the Church School conduct. The attendance was good. 6 p.m. 4 F. L. hour was observed. The Pastor Ai served a delicious dinner last Sunday, Ms. Ophela Wilson is president. The Y. P. D. of the Sunday school sparing a drama to be presided over. The altar was beautifully decorated last Sunday, a tribute from the officers and auxiliaries to the memory of the late Dr. Henry K.

Bridge St. A. M. E. Church
"The Self-Dedication of Jesus" was the thought around which the pastor, Dr. Edward Erpast Tyler, centered the thinking of the vast congregation that greeted him Simone, the daughter of the pastor, being a period of Lent, it was well that we gave a portion of widening Jesus. In connection with what he stated that one of the criticisms by the Roman Catholic Church of the other Christian demonic interpretations on the Bible, and as a result we have many crises. The Catholic Church does its own interpretation and as a result they have one creed. Dr. Tyler stressed the point that the big thing is not so much interpretation but getting to the "connection" with the topic he beautifully described and explained
why Jesus was baptised by John. It was because he the God-man, wanted to identify Himself in the fullest manner with the human race, for He did not want to be separate and apart from us. Thus he re-dedicated in. In this life most of us narrow ourselves down to the things we can can see, handle and touch. We should not bend all our efforts, in this direction but seek the higher spiritual things of life. Weier points on the same were. Sometimes we are asked because we see those who serve God in spirit and in truth suffer and have trials. This should not disturb us as long as we "are out there with God." It will should be our will. Some seek to be holy and sanctified, but we are in itself but a means to and end. Four persons joined the church when the invitation was extended. Among them was Edward Cargill, a secretary of Brooklyn Lodge of Elks. 4 p.m., there was a special religious service held under the auspices of the missionary forum. It was well attended.
At the evening hour there was a song service led by Evangelist Ihenson and others. This was followed by a drama, entitled "Daniel" It was given by the Young People's Missionary Society. Special music was played. The importance and significance of the message that the drama brought to the large congregation, apparently was not missed by a single person and it made a deep impression. Next Sunday will be a big day at Bridge Street in the morning, for Bishop Joshua H. Jones will make an eponymous吻 to this church since he has been assigned to this district.
Grace Church of Harlem
On Sunday morning, Dr. A. C. Garner of Grace Congregational Church took his sermon from the 19th chapter of St. John, lst to 27th chapter of St. John, thst to day sermon and Dr. Garner made the best of his subject.

At St. Sunday, community will be served at the coming service. I tapped that all the faces will be present, as a special session will be preached by the pastor.
Fourth Moravian Church
Lent again reminds us of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. Was ever love like God? Was ever love like Jesus? Was ever love like ours? Let us go to Calvary with Jesus and await Him at the Tomb. To lay life down for his friends man has not greater love than that. Christ has not greater love than that. Christ has promised that His death is available for the ungrateful, the disobedient, the unmerciful for all whose needs are great. Nothing frustrates the love of God but man's will. Christ sacrifices Himself to bring eternal good to others. Sin and Satan bid us refuse the gift. Our best friend is our enemy. Our worst friend is our enemy. Polluted and unclean Christ can save us. His death avails. Or Jesus let the persecuted one in our life suffer and bind us closer to Thee. The storms come on as Christ shine out.
The following books are presented for lenten reading in "Liturgia" and "Vitae" texts. "Thursday" might illustrated lecture "Life of Christ in Art."
On Sunday, Mr. Stevens presents
his program at 5:30 p.m.

Emanuel A. M. E. Church
A large and appreciative audience greeted the pastor, Rev. D. Ward Nichols, at the morning service, the congregation listened attentively and asked, "The Finality of the Christian Religion," closing the series of sermons on "Five Great Religions of the World."
He pointed out that Christianity is the culminating point of all religions and asked, "What question? Art Thou that should come, or look we for another?" as did John the Baptist. But we might know that Jesus is the complete revelation of God. We have not been able to comprehend the complete revelation that has been made through Jesus Christ, but as we grow in grace and knowledge we discover more and more of this revelation. Beautiful message was enthusiastically received by the congregation.
The Sunday school held its session at the usual hour, Henry Newell were added to the roll and a number of visitors were present and entertained the Bible classes one and two, at which time a beneficial round

It also marked the annual consideration of men's work. The morning message was delivered by the Rev. A. M Currie. The speaker spoke upon the necessity of practicing the Golden Rule in daily living. Bishop Robert C. Lawson, of the Refuge Church of Christ, emphasized that personal vigor and action should build the church of food.

THE material contrast between the structure with which Boswell lived and the Washington work of his own plant is sufficiently striking to be enough for one man to bring it to imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement. The education and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women, and the training of a new class of commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like Tuskegee the light of the homely but ever living truth which must form the back of women and Women to Secure an Excellent Literary and Normal Course, and a Course in Mechanical Industries, Women's Industries or Agriculture

Mt. Olivet Baptist Church
Sunday morning, February 24, there was a large attendance, at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. The pastor, after a long hour from 1st Corinthians 2nd chapter 14-15 verses, "But the natural man can receive not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foodliness unto him; neither can he know them, nor the spiritual judgement, but he that is spiritual judgement all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." Subject: "Spirit of Discernment."
He said one does not have to become eccentric, queer, erag or imposing to be spiritual. Moral egotism is no symbol of spirituality. In fact, egotism and spirituality are contrary terms. To become spiritual, one must humble, as in the case of the Pharisee and Plubitan. Constant repression, philosophy or system built on "Dona" are false. Neither should it be to be a goody-goody, for this kind of people can also be good-for-nothing.
To be spiritual-minded is life, and life is vitality, enthusiasm, continuous development. Religion sets free the totality of man. In speaking young people who wish to withhold the totality of man or law, he illustrated such action by comparing it with traffic at a busy hour on a busy corner with no traffic officer nor signal lights. The inevitable result would be disgrace and shame. He also spoke of the harm of the child in the row cell of intellectuality and formality and staying there. A spirit-filled man is a mystery. He spoke of the time of the past when religion was a kind of mystery anyway, and that now no one has respect for it. He told the christians from unbelievers.
At the evening service, the pastor preached from Matthew 16: 17 and 23rd verses. 17th verse. "And Jesus answered and asked unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in you." But he turned and said unto Peter. Get the hind him, Satan, thou art an offence unto me, for thou favours not the things that be of God but those that be of man."
The pastor reminded us that our best moments are often followed by our worst. He also reminded us that we should begin the beginning of His ministry, was told the identical words that were spoken to him when he used Peter to help persuade Christ from His mission. One can not be in his mind or in his heart, one would or would not do. He emphasized how Christ told us to watch, and also the words: "If any man would come after me let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow such a courageous christian, for one must not be afraid to speak the truth, afraid of persecution, of opposition, of losing friendship, of being misunderstood, on, or ever crucified. Man can be lifted to great heights or dropped to the lowest depths. Two people joined the church during the day and the collection was $1700.
St. Paul Baptist Church
We have just closed a most successful revival series, running from November 11 to 22. Rev James William Young preacher, belonging to the Little Mt.

Religious Education, one of the greatest needs in the christian church, was presented in a sequestration on The Qualifications Church in Chicago, W.berger jr., director of Religious Education Department of the A. M. K. Zion Church, at Fleet Street Church on Sunday morning. Prof. Eichlerberger is naturally endowed with a high order of intellect and is highly engaged by study. His mind is enriched by prefound learning, drawn from every realm of thought as it relates to the modern day program. The congregation listened with great interest to the speaker, and gained much of the valuable knowledge he had give.
A number of dutiful visitors were seen in the large congregation present, and several visited the Sunday school session, where more valuable information was gained from Eichlerberger's membership of the National Board of the Y. M. C. A. and his wife; Mrs. Hattie E. Eichlerberger of Chicago, and Mrs. Brown
Forty-eight registered delegates and several others from this church joined the hospitality of the members of Mother A. M. E.

HOWARD DEFEATS
LINCOLN FIVE
IN RETURN GAME
Eisons Turn Tables On
Lions In Game At
East Orange
East Orange, N. J.—Revenge was sweet to the Howard Bison in defeating the Lincoln Lion at East Orange, N. J. on Washington's Birthday.
The fast that Lincoln had emerged victorious in the New York game intensified the interest in the Orange conflict. This accounted for the largest attendance that has greeted Howard in its games with Lincoln and Morgan, playing under the auspices of the North Jersey Howard Alumna's association.
Coates, Hall and Simpson, in the first half, accounted for twelve points for Howard while Lincoln nided by Weatherless and Whittington, trailed close behind with a disadvantage of only a two-point margin at half time.
Howard Gaine Advantage
During this period both teams realized the large size of the court and attempted to adapt their offensive to a conservation of energy for the final stun a Howard gained the advantage through long shots and equally long passes. In the second half both teams started out fast and furious, with Howard looking like an unbeatable combination when it gathered six points in rapid succession before Lincoln was able to score. DaCosta was injected into the game for Lincoln. This proved to be a most timely substitution as Lincoln took on new life and threatened to surpass the fighting Bison, but when the score was tied at 23, all and only another minute to play Howard called 'time out' to talk things over. As play was resumed Simpson, Howard's Ace, assisted by Harris made the sensational shot which decided the game in the Bison's favor.
Eager for Rubber Game
Both teams are eager to play off the tie, each one being desperately determined to win. The rubber game was scheduled to be played in Washington, February 27, but due to a great demand for a return game in New York City, where our audience of 4,000 people can be accommodating it has been decided to postpone the game until some time in March, provided proper arrangements can be made to play the same in New York City.

Phil Edwards, hailed as the greatest middle distance ever developed in the Negro race, easily retained his title as the 600-yard champion at the Metropolitan A. A. U. games at Madison Square Garden Saturday night February 23.
Edwards, a rew days before, won the Canadian 600 yard champion, ship and Saturday night he almost established a new american record.

. FROM THE BENCH
Member Teams Of League
Announce Reserve
List of Players
Philadelphia Pa—When the newly formed American Negro League met here Saturday, February 23, the most interesting announcement of the session came from J. Henry Lloyd, manager of the Lincoln Giants, and who has played on nearly all the leading colleges of the country during the season. Lloyd announced that he would not be a regular member of the Lincoln's this season. He said that George Scales would be moved over to second base and that Billy Yancey of Philadelphia would be the regular shortstop. If the manager of the Lincoln carries out his announced policy not to play but to manage the team from the bench, it will be the first time he has not been a regular starter over twenty years. His retirement from active participation in the game will be keenly felt by the old-time fans.
To Rotate Umpires
Another important announcement coming from the League Saturday was that the club-owners have worked out a definite system of rotating umpires this season, thus making it very difficult for an umpire to face a called home team. A special meeting of League officials will be held Friday of the week to adopt the schedule. The following men were paid on the reserve lists of the various clubs.

"The Lion and Mouse"
At Lafayette T'atre
The case of Monday's matinee performance at the Lafayette Theatre are found scores of patrons asking each other, as they left the theatre "Which do you like best the rescue or the picture?" This reviewer would find it difficult to answer that question himself because the rescue is the finest which the Lafayette Theatre has presented in many months, and the picture is one of the most gripping screen dramas silent or talking—which it has ever been our pleasure to witness.
Doc Straane, the producer of the revue, whips, he calls "Tell Him 'Bout Me.' From Overture to finale it is an undated success of wonderful musical comedy situations. The girls certainly dance, the comedians are real funs the peculiarly are the finest and the music is such a only Doc Hays famous. UM. Alabama Orchestra can furnish. And all this is set against a most pleasing background of beautiful actors and gorgeous costumes.
The big cast includes the following well known actors: Don Straine and Lila Helen Stokes, Audrey Thomas, John La Bue, the California Pep Marti, York Cooper and Fiona Lumpstead, the chorus from Philadelphia's Club Alabama and the famous Alam Serrades under leadership Dr. Hyder.
The postopia feature is the Autophone talking drama 'The Lion and the Mouse'. This is the best of the talking pictures which have been produced to date. Aside from the fact that it relates a gripping heart-touching story scenes of unforgettable drama, the featured players is one of the world's greatest actors—Lonel Barrymore, a member of the most famous family actors in the world including John Barrymore and Ethel Barrymore. Seeing and hearing Lonel Barrymore enact the role of the ruthless financier who crushes everyone who opposes him is a new-to-be-forgetten treat.
Either stage or screen show at the Lafayette Theatre this week is worth a visit. Together, they pro-duce one of the finest shows that can be found in this city. In order to accommodate as many possible with seats the performer at the Lafayette are continuous some of the fire fight and speed of former years Long and efficient mannequins, accordingly Trayler was the outstanding player for the Morehouse team, while Alexander was the high scorer for the Seensiders, scoring 17 points. Alexander was again the hugh
Theatre This Week
The glorious hey-dey of the Lincoln Theatre was brought to mind Monday when a capacity audience filled the theatre to witness the opening performance of Leonard Harper's "Crazy Rhythm Capers" and to see the one and only Jack Johnson in action as an actor and as a fighter Judged by the enthusiasm of the patrons, the show was enjoyed more thoroughly than any in their memory
Johnson certainly was a little. The audience cheered him to the echo when he told of his greatest ring battles, they marveled at his powerful figure as he donned a pair of gloves and fighted togs and they roared with laughter as he toyed with one of the comedians and a volunteer fighter from the audience. The concensus of opinion of the patrons was that he is almost as good an actor as he was a great fighter. Johnson has promised to reveal some of the intimate secrets of the prize ring which the world thought were forever lost with the passing of Tex Rickard before he terminates his week's engagement at the Lincoln Theatre.
The musical revue which is being presented around Jack Johnson is one of the finest Harlem has ever seen. It kept the audience applauding and rocking with laughter. The feature act in the revue is that of Al Moore and Freddie Washington, two of the greatest dancers on the American stage. This famous pair have just returned from an engagement of two years in the capitols of Europe where they were one of the great sensations of the stage. They rendered a Tango and a Chinese dance which brought storms of applause. In addition to those mentioned above, the cast of "Crazy Rhythm Caney" includes Troy Brown, the sat and funny comedian, Skeeter Winston, Ozie McPherson, one of the greatest of Blues singers, and Howard Elmore, a sweet-voced tenor and aplendid dramatic artist. There is a fine chorus and a red hot jazz band under the direction of Pringsley.
The photoplay for the week is the splendid Underworld drama "Outcast" starring Corinne Griffith and Edmund Lowe. The Lincoln Theatre has taken on new life and vigor under its new management and a visit there will mean an afternoon or evening spent most enjoyably

Drama, spectacle and unequaled camera effects are the outstanding features promised in 'Sunrise,' the Fox special dealing with the contrast between fast city life and rural vulture, which will come to the Dongluang Theatre on Saturday, March 21 in a run of 3 days.
F. W. Murman, who was brought from Europe by William Fox in order to direct this picture, selected an original theme by Herman Südmann on which to build the plot, but the director's embellishments in the way of scenery, action and photography bring him as much credit for the production as is due the noted author.
When Mr. Murrain started work on "Sunrise," in the Fox Studios it was with the understanding that his word was to be final with regard to all items of production from the selection of the cast to the final editing of the film. The results which he obtained, and which have been widely applauded in New York and Philadelphia, los Angeles and Tampa, with the show at $2.20, show that the confidence which was placed in Mr. Murrain was fully justified.
The leading roles are passed by Janet Gaynor and George O'Brien and a special score for the picture was arranged by the celebrated "Roxy," S L Rothafel.

Lew Leslie Discusses Changing Viewpoint Towards Negro Shows
By LEW LESLIE
Inecessitates to be a difference in opinion between critics of the drama and the professional playgoer over the important question of what constitutes Negro art. As the producer of "Blackbirds" which is entering its eleventh month on Broadway, I believe I am in a position to settle the moop point in much as could be done in the Metropolitan press regarding this situation from time to time.
Whenever a Negro musical ex-travaganza is brought to town and it doesn't show the Ethiopian in the settings and song background that is supposed to be essentially his by birthright, the critics as-sert the Negro is invading a tannah territory and the blackbird has been no exception to the rule. Be spite the quality of its entertainment and the fact that playgrounds have found a touch to their liking, critics still express disapproval over the modern settings, lighting effects, and costumes in the production. It's great entertainment that invariably was, but it wasn't Negro. The theatre has made great strides in the last twenties five years. There was a time when it was considered good drama for actors to talk out loud

to themelslys. The settings and lighting, when judged by modern standards, were really amateurish. Even plays are written differently today than a quarter of a century ago. Not only that, but the playgoers themselves have improved with the times. Modern inventions have completely reorganized life and the Negro has naturally been reorganized along with white folks.
There was a time when all that was expected of the Negro actor was to make funny faces. The more he could cug, the greater a comedian he was considered. His background invariably was either a cottonfield plantation or levee. That is whire he was supposed to belong and to put him any place else scenically was nothing short of theatrical suicide. And yet, despite the fact that art has entered the world, no one actor and the fact that untold thousands have deserted their southern homes for life in the large cities, critics still expect the Ethiopian in the theatre to present a picture of plantation life and no other.
I have been watching the evolution of the Ethiopian theatre for almost twenty years. For the last eight years I have been producing Negro revues and musical comedies. I know for a fact that life's perspective has changed for the Negro. He thinks and acts along with his music by his brethren. His theatre has emerged from the stage in which it has wallowed for years. Not only has the Negro theatre produced real artists, not nugget stars of years ago, but its songs, music, scene background skits, and lighting are all artistically modern "Blackbirds" is an importer of Caucasian shows-only in point of scenery and mechanical equipment that is used in France, England, Italy and the United States of material offered it is essentially Ethiopian, modern and up to the minute in every way.
It is rather surprising that those who make dramatic criticism their study should be the first to

let go unrecognized the tremendous changes taking place in the national existence of the Negro. He has assimilated whatever the white man has had to offer and so like him that to present the Negro in settings other than he has grown accustomed to in real life, or to give him material foreign to present existence, would be like liking a movie like meo and Juliet" in a night club setting, with a jazz band to add to the unreality of the scene.
It seems to me that playwrights and not the critics have recognized the metamorphosis that has marked Negro art in America. They are, after all, the final judge, and if they find "Blackbirds" realistic, if they feel we are presenting the Negro as he is today, we have gone a long way to overcome the prejudice we have exerted, that the Negro is only at home in the theatre when he sings of Dixie or is picking cotton on a plantation
