SCHOLARSHIPS RURAL LIFE AWARDED TO AND RACE SERVICE MEN RELATIONS VOL. XXI. NO. 22 Virginia Colored Men Received 25,946.00 From Y. M. C. A. Funds Appropriated For Educational Purposes Richmond, Va.—November 1, 1919, the National War Work Council of the Young Men's Christian Association, set aside three million, one hundred seventy-six thousand five hundred sixty-two dollars ($3,175,562) to be available during the year 1920 for the Y.

Their allotment was twenty-five thousand, nine hundred dollars ($25,964). The Negro State Commission consisted of Dr. J. M.

C., May—Secretary of War Weeks has let it be known that any state in the Federalized National Guard, in such proportions as they may determine, on an absolute basis of fairness. This information the Secretary gave to Attorney W. Clarence Matthews of Boston, in an interview at the War Department. It repudiates the order issued by former secretary of war, Baker, which has caused nationwide criticism, and which has prevented Colored Americans from enlisting in National Guards except as "pioneer" or labor organizations. The Associated Negro Press recently carried an extensive story on this subject, which was laid personally before the Secretary of War, Vice President Coolidge, and others. Vice President Coolidge took a personal interest in the subject, for as Governor of Massachusetts, he was pre-empted by the war by including a battalion of Massachusetts National Guard in the regular state quota, in a manner in keeping with the traditions of the state. At that time Mr. Coolidge proceeded to organize anyway, and declared that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts would stand behind the organization until a change of administration. At the time of making this statement, Mr. Coolidge was not a candidate for any office. Robert M. Matthews, who was formerly assistant District Attorney in Boston, in company with a representative of the Associated Negro Press, took the subject up with the Vice President, and Mr. Matthews reminded the Vice President of his remark. The Vice President, true to his promise, took the matter up immediately with the Secretary of War. This decision by Secretary Weeks, who will doubtless issue a formal Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Illinois, and the District of Columbia, will have both national Guards for years, to organize just basis. It will also permit such other states as may desire to recognize Colored units, to organize on a basis in keeping with principle and justice. Senator Carraway of Arkansas has introduced a bill to exclude all Negro citizens from the Army and Navy, now henceforth and forever. It is stated that his bill will not get out of the Committee, but serves to show the spirit with which the Race, and other real Americans, must contend. Mr. R. E. Epps Run Over By Automobile Truck Mr. R. E. Epps, of 873 Goff Street was run over and had his leg cut off above the knee Saturday morning, May 21st at the corner of Church and Henry Streets. The truck that cut off Mr. Epps' leg was owned by Mr. Whitechurch of the county and was carrying strawberry pickers to the country. The driver claims that he lost control of the car. Mr. Epps is confined at St. Vincent's Hospital, where it is not expected that he will live. He is the father of Mrs. Elmora Felton of 963 Cambridge Street. Negro Farmers Need Protection, Says Dr. Moton In Address To Virginia Rural Life Conference Richmond, Va., May 26.—"The honest, industrious black man should be just as safe with his property and with his life, and just as safe in the private affairs of happiness, as any other American citizen. He should share in the privileges accord to other American citizens in exact proportion to the measure of his merit." Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, made this statement at the closing session of the Virginia Rural-Life Conference, which brought together, at the call of Gov. Westmoreland-Davis, some five hundred delegates from all sections of Virginia for the frank discussion of what should be done to give all rural citizens a safer and more profitable living. Hon. R. Walton Moore, chairman of the general committee, who presided over the conference, after its opening by Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell, of Richmond, was given authority to appoint a representative committee of twenty-five men and women to serve as a State Council of Rural Agencies. The question of race relations, expecting the South, said Dr. Moton in his address to the Fundamentals of an Improved Countryside, its very closely allied with country life as it affects my race. Eighty-five per cent of the Negroes in the South live in the country. They produce about 70 per cent of the cotton that is raised in America. It is very important for the country therefore and equally important for the Negroes in America for their own sales as American citizens and as human beings, as well as for the economic value to the country, that they should be made happy and contented in the country. This is just as important for the white man as it is for the Negro. "The interests of both races in the South are so closely interwoven, that what helps the progress of one helps the progress of the other. In order to attain and develop on our farms a strong and people, white as well as black, who will contribute to country life, certain things that have neglected in the past must be carefully in the future by the leaders of thought and action, as well as by Federal and State authorities. "FARMING MUST PAY "The conditions must be made possible for Negro to earn a comfortable living on the farm. We cannot have country life without people developed in any country until people are able to earn a decent living from the soil. Much has been done by our agricultural schools and colleges, but a great deal more must be done to find a Negro farmer intelligently the things necessary for his material happiness. This is fundamental. The Negro farmer, as well as other farmers, must be paid a fair price for the work, to bring this about, all farmers in the country must be encouraged in some form of cooperative marketing."

C. Spaulding, secretary- Treasurer N. C. Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, N. C., Thursday night, May 19th, under the auspices for the Harding Progressive Club.

PHOENIX BANK URGESPROMPT BUILDING NEW MEASURES FOR BANKINGHOME HAITI'S RELIEF Suffolk Institution Will Enter Modern New Home About August 1st Special to The Journal and Guide Suffolk Va.—The officers and directors of the Phoenix Bank of Nassau and are looking forward to going into their new banking house about August 1. This building, when finished, will unquestionably be the most handsome and distinctive structure on Washington street between Main street and the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. It will be two stories, the bank occupying the first floor, while the second will be made into seven office rooms, which will be equipped with all modern conveniences including steam heat, etc. The front will be of stone with marble trimmings. The bank is equally as determined to give to its many customers the same additional protection and facilities as it is to furnish them with larger quarters. And in order to take care of this most important feature of banking business the directors plan to build a vault second to none in the city as to security. This vault will be constructed according to the latest methods and requirements. It will be equipped with the latest model vault door with an unburnable steel lining, a magneque burglar-proof money chest, and a sufficient number of standard constructed safe deposit boxes. The officers of the bank feel proud to say that, while the last twelve months have been very trying with banks throughout the country this institution has credibly held its own in every particular. In spite of the fact that it has never borrowed any money has always carried an unusually hard cash reserve, much greater than the holding laws require. The deposits have continued to grow every since the bank began business, March 15, 1919, with the written order of $13,000 which at this writing is $111,000. This splendid, growth bespeaks the unstinted support the public has given the institution.

As a consequence of the protest, a hearing was held on the very day on which the film was to be shown.

He said that he was out in fact of plight, except for one thing. And preceding to use the traditional Southern term "nigger" he discoursed on how the government should be saved the expense of trial of an alleged victim. When the folks throuthout got through with him, he didn't know whether he had been through a gin mill or a cyclone. And, ye gods, he is a candidate for U. S. Marshall—or rather he was a candidate.

To succeed it only means that you have to save—make a little sacrifice—do without a few luxuries you are now indulging in.

Jazz music, which supplanted ragtime in name if not in fact and which is popular in Europe and America, simply because people have reached a stage in their evolution when they want live music, vocal as well as instrumental, as they crave for live things in most things, instead of dead music, stiff and staid, and dead other things - jazz music has been tried by a jury of 500 musical authorities, four hundred of whom voted unqualifiedly that jazz must go. That, however, does not signify that jazz is going. The music loving public will have the last word about that. The question was raised by George Ade, the novelist and critic, in an editorial in the Metropolitan magazine for April, and the poll of the 539 followed. Ade had said that "music is the universal heritage. Somewhere in the flower-dotted fields between Brahms and "The Maiden's Prayer," there is room for all of us to ramble. Be comforted by the reflection that all music is good." Ragtime has not gone, but has been displaced and its vulgarisms and crudities will appear in the music of the future but so refined as to be almost indiscoverable. It will be that way with ragtime also. There has been progressive development in dance and song music from the stiff and staid, the solemn and show, which used to go to the extreme, as ragtime and jazz have been doing, to the recklessness and vulgarity which has characterized the tendency for some time, but the happy medium will be reached after awhile. George Ade says wiesly that all music is good; that is, contains the element of goodness. Its language is universal and its appeal is to all creatures, which are all affected by it in one way or another. ROUGH GOING FOR LILYWRITE APPOINTES Mr. David H. Blair of North Carolina, who was appointed by the President to be Commissioner of Internal Revenue, had his appointment held up and his confirmation by the Senate put in jeopardy by Senator Hillman Johnson of California, who accused him of having "switched" at the Chicago Convention after he had been elected as a Johnson delegate, he shipped by, however, and he now on the payroll, although he is rated as millionaire and not in need of ready cash. A stiffer fight came upon the appointment of Frank A. Linney to he District Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. He is chairman of the Republican State Committee, and he also "switched" from Johnson at Chicago. The charge against him is that he had "tried to keep Negroes from voting at the late election," and even proposed as State chairman to enter into a working understanding with the Democrats to prevent them from voting. After listening to this sort of evidence against Linney, Senator Borah declared that he "would vote for a yellow dog before he would vote for Linney." Senator Reed, a Democrat, of Missouri, "also said as much." The Judiciary Committee voted down the motion made by Senator Overman, Democrat of North Carolina, to make a favorable report on the nomination, but, upon an earnest appeal from Senator Overman that Linney be heard in his own defense, the nomination was held over. But why should Senator Overman, a Democrat, have been deferred to in this matter by the Republican majority of the Judiciary Committee? The thing stinks. And we are shown by the Blair and Linney defection that black delegates were not the only ones who "switched" at Chicago. BISHOP GEORGE W. CLINTON Not only the Afro-American people but the country at large has lost a useful citizen in the death of Bishop George W. Clinton of North Carolina. His interest in the uplift work of the race was strong and helpful and covered a long period of years, as a successful pastor of African Methodist Epsicopal Zion churches, editor of church periodicals and Bishop of the church. Bishop Clinton had the rare faculty of making and holding friends. Like the late Bishop Alexander Walters, his abounding good nature was always in evidence and not only endeared to many but enabled him to accomplish many good works where he would have failed with a sterner and more unaccommodating disposition. He was not a great man, but he was a good man, who did well the many tasks imposed upon him by the nature of the many positions of honor and trust he was called upon to administer. CATTS "Be sure your sins will find you out," was never verified in a more emphatic case than that of Sidney J. Catts, late Governor of the turbulent State of Florida. As we understand it, Mr. Catts is some sort of prescriber, residing at an exclusive religious and educational place in West Florida called DeFuniak. He must be a carpet-bagger, one of the Northern reactionaries who have made Florida their home, and who some times out Herod Herod in their hatred and persecution of Afro-Americans. While he was Governor of Florida Catts waved the black flag all of the time. He stood in with the lycheechrus fund gave aid and encouragement to them and the mob spirit without blushing and with a brazenness that would have confused a wooden Injun, if anything could ruffle the serenity of that tobacco sign. Within, he disgraced his high office by constant brawns with newspaper men and others who questioned him and his ways: He constantly travelled for a fall, but it did not come upon him until after he had been retired to private life. Not long ago Catts was indicted by the Bradford county grand jury for receiving a bribe of $700 to use his influence and vote as a member of the Prison Board to secure a pardon for a white convict. The other day he was convicted by the Federal grand jury at Pensacola for peonage, the allegation being that he secured the pardon of "two Negro convicts," whom he constrained to work for him on his West Florida farm. Facing prison bars, it begins to look as if Catts' sins had not only found him out but that they were going "to do him." So be it. All of his sort should come by the same judgment. DEATH OF EDITOR PERRY Afro-American journalists generally will regret the death of Chris J. Perry, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune and President of the National Negro Press Association. For some thirty-six years Mr. Perry has been an active race journalist and positive force in the lock politic of the Quaker City. He built up a splendid newspaper plant, housed in a property he owned, and he made of his newspaper one of the strongest and most profitable of race newspapers. Mr. Perry was one time a member of the alderman board of Philadelphia and for years after was connected with the highways department of the city. He was a very thrifty citizen and owned much valuable real estate in Philadelphia and Atlantic City. He was not a brilliant but a well-balanced pladder, and made good in most that he undertook.

Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of North auc South America, paid an official visit to Arabia Temple No. 12, Tuesday evening, May 17, 1921. Portsmouth being the "KAIRO-WAN" City of the Temple, the illustrious Potentate Nobile Chester A. Reid "the Ohba ben Nafra" of this onis, ordered the sacred sandy desert to be moistened in the way lending water to the Mosque. MOSQUE his art was obeyed, and the scene featured that Grand Mosque of SIDI OKBA in the sacred city of the sands. The imposing aspect on entering the Temple, featured an "Arabic" appearance with artificial camels here and there, reminding one of ancient Arabia. After a very enjoyable and pleasant repast, following a most helpful and interesting address touching the interest of the order, the nobility of Auc South America gave great numbers to do honor to the distinguished visitor, repaired to their several homes with the pleasing satisfaction with the rare treat received. The Imperial Potentate then found protection under the dome of the Imperial Oriental Guide, Noble Barnes.

DR. C: H..HINES A Great Man Has Fallen Victim to Death "Leaves have their time to fail, And flowers to wither at the North Wind's breath. But thou hast all seasons for thine own, O death." Dr. C. H. Hines died May 14, 1921. He was born near Fayetteville, N. C. April 1, 1922. Age 49 years, 1 month, 12 days. He received his academic training in Wharton College, Penn, and his professional course in Shaw University at Raleigh, N. C. He began to practicive medicine in Edenton, N. C. One year, from this date, he married one of the best and most popular young women of Edenton, N. C. Miss Julia Cunchart. The union was a happy one. They hiked affectionately together, and had the highest respect for each other. God blessed them with three children, one son and two daughters. Dr. Hines was a man of spendid physique, a genial disposition, affable and courteous in his demeanor. He was a skilled physician and therefore he was so successful with violent crimes. He was an ardent and enthusiastic Christian worker in the church and Sunday School. He was never too tired to stay for the church and Sunday School. He sowed abundantly for the Master, and surely his gift will give unto him an abundant harvest. He was a kind and loving father and husband. He made ample support and preparation for his family. He built a maintained farm and drugged Edaton, N. C. in the midst of life we are in death. How sad, how true. Death the retentless mower of life, crept stenchily and reached out his hand and struck the fatal blow. He rallied for a few days, and then sank. Life's work was nearly ended, he gave an account of his stewardship here below. We believe that he received the welcome plaudit, "Well done." It was love for the Master and His cause that prompted him to work earnestly and faithfully in the church and in the Sunday School. His only desire during his illness was, to go Home. To which home the Home of the Church would come. The church of the eternal world and the music of Heaven falsed upon the drums of the spiritual ear; its desire for that home increases. He leaves to mourn a wife, one daughter, one son. Four brothers four sisters, and a host of relatives and friends. There's a widness in God's mercy Like the widness of the sea: There is mind in his justice Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the weary, And more for the good There is mercy with the Sorrow There is healing in his blood. For the love of God is broader Than the measures of Man's mind, And the heart of the eternal, Is most wonderfully kind. Dr Hines accumulated great wealth the few years that he lived Resolutions From Providence Missionary Baptist Church and Sunday School Edenton, N. C. May 11, 1921 Dear Mrs. Kings: We know how futile it is to address words, life words, to you in this moment of supreme aggrish, with which it has pleased you, with which it will not, say, fear that that the loss of your kind, good and generous husband is a source of deep sorrow to the numerous friends who had the privilege of knowing him, and to more than yours, in deep sympathy and affection.

But we want them to know that their kindness is very much appreciated by the Salvation Army, already it has brought us into closer relationship.

NORFOLK SUNDAL SCHOOL PARADE ASSOCIATION Mr. Editor: In these reconstruction days, it is highly important that the Christian Church and all its agencies present a united front in "holding up the blood-stained banner of King Emanuel." More and more it must display its esprit of face of a doubtful, vertical but dying man, not be saved by discussion, dissension and jealousness among the members of His body. So the Sunday schools of all denominations, large and small, of this city, propose to give an ocular demonstration of Christian unity of purpose and loyalty in a union parade on the afternoon of Sunday, June 12th, next morning. an earnest of their sincere desire and devotion to go into the highways and hedges and compel the unsaved to accept the lovely Nazarine's love. The next meeting of the above association will be held in the First Baptist Sunday school auditorium on Sunday, 3:30 p. m., May 29th. Each and every Sunday school is hereby invited and urged to send not over three representatives. Plans and instructions for the parade will be finally decided upon and issued. And it is hoped that we shall have the encouragement, unstinted support and prayers of all who long for His coming and "want to be in that number when the saints go marching home." M. E. DIGGS, Pres. Lt. P. M. Thun, Ph.D. Chr. Clum, Parade Y. W. C. A. VESPERS The Needle Craft Art Circle, of which Mrs. Ruth J. Bass is president, entertained at vespers last Sunday.

E. church, the mother church of the colored work of the Diocese of Southern Virginia, was the scene Sunday, May 15th, of a service of great beauty and of a very unusual character. The occasion was a special commemorative celebration the 50th year of the ordination of the Rev. Giles Buckner Cooke, for the to be ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and the 83rd anniversary of his birth. Rev. Mr. Cooke, a white clergyman, was rector of the church in its incipiency and guided its destinies for many years. His splendid zeal and devoted conservation saved St. Stephen's to the Episcopal Church and in a general way the colored work in the diocese, for St. Stephen's has been the neuces around which the colored work began since 1871. It was to express the feelings of gratitude and love for this pioneer church educator and gallant Confederate soldier that colored men and women met in St. Stephen's yesterday. Truly an unusual sight for even Virginia, where race relations are of the best. It was inspiring and illuminating testimony to the value and effect of religion on race relations and a splendid tribute to the Catholicity of the Church which first emancipated the Negro from the darkness and superstition of African fetichism into the marvelous light of the Gospel and whose ministrations know no color, as spoke and women got up and spoke to the hearts of the debt of gratitude their race owed to the Confederate Major and Christian minister who sat in their midst. the anniversary sermon was preached by Ardeacon Russell of Lawrenceville, and others who paid glowing tributes to the noble character of Dr. Cooke were Rev. E. E. Joseph, Rev. Joseph W. Carroll Prof. J. E. Wheels, Mrs. J. H. Pollard, Mr. W. Shields, Mrs. J. H. Pollard, Mr. W. A. Bragg and Dr. W. F. Clarke.

E. chap., accompanied by Rev. T. N. Austin, rendered a splendid and much appreciated missionary service when they visited the home and bedside of Mrs. U. G.

Brown, Elizabeth City loses one of its most constructive and forward looking citizens; Eastern Carolina, her most ambitious and progressive Negro, and Albemarle Bank one of its most loyal supporters, enthusiastic members and valued officers. In fact its very organization was due largely to his vision, constructiveness, ambition and indefatigable labor, with a genius for plans, organization and achievement he was ever looking forward to bigger, broader and more constructive things and plans for the race with which he was identified. Broad of mind, generous of heart and big of soul, his was the mould of men that "knowing right dare maintain it," and which permits no service or sacrifice to come between loyalty to friends or devotion to cause. As friend, companion, associate, we shall miss him. Miss his service from our cause, his presence from our meetings, his spirit from our lives. For his was over the spirit of conviviality and good cheer, of sunshine and not of shadow; of hope, optimism and future. And knowing this we pause, for human mind cannot fathom motives or interpret intentions. All that was or is of our friend is now a finished chapter, a sealed book, whose pages may be turned only by the omnipotent finger and its record read and understood by the infinite mind. "Into that silent land! Oh, who shall us thither? Clouds in the evening sky more darkly gather and shattered wrecks lie thicker on the strand. Who leads us with a gentle hand; thither, O thither into the S. Land? Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me. And may there be no monning of the bar, when I put out to sea; but such a tide as moving seems a sleep, too full for sound and foam, when that which drew from out the boundless deep turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, and after that the dark, and may there be no sadness of farewell—when I embark; for though from out the bourne of time and place the flood may bear me, for I hope to see my Pilot, face to face, when I have crossed the bar. Albemarle Bank therefore wishes to herewith record its highest esteem and genuine respect for its deceased promoter, stockholder, director and counsel, its most grateful appreciation of the invaluable and meritorious services which he rendered, and at the same time convey to the relatives and especially his faithful and honored widow its every expression of sympathy, sorrow and condolence and pledge to her in this sad hour of beement every facility and resource of service, counsel, means or assistance that it may be ours to command as an institution or of its officials both individually and collectively.—E. L. Hoffler, president; W. H. Holland, cashier. * Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Brown returned to New York Monday having attended the funeral of his brother, Atty C. W.

"The Girl Who Came Back", Said By Many to Be One of the Beat Dramas Ever Staged In Norfolk. Miss Ellis Is Real Star. By H. C. YOUNG That the Lafayette players of New York made good on their return engagement to Norfolk last week was attested by the appreciation shown by the capacity audiences at all four performances of "The Girl Who Came Back," during the latter half of the week. From the first rise of the curtain until the last going down of the game the crowds were held spellbound. It is the consensus of opinion here that no dramatic company seen in action has surpassed the artistic work of the LaFayette Players in "The Girl Who Came Back," staged under the personal direction of Mr. George McEntee. The play was the story of a girl, through whose life ran misfortune beginning with her being sent to jail for a theft of which she was innocent and of which her brate, drunken father was the real perpetrator of the crime. When she had served her term in prison and returned home, executed by a probation officer, whose chief design was to get her into his clutches for his own immoral purposes, she was rejected by her father, which threw her upon the cold mercies of the world. Regardless of her difficult situation she refrained from evil and kept her determination to be honest and upright. She met, fell in love with and married Williard Overman, the pampered son of Brand Overman, millionaire, who, when finding it out, strenuously objected to the match and bent all of his energies and efforts to have the marriage annuled. To carry out his plans, he employed George Braunard the degenerate probation officer, who had tried to get her into his clutches since she had served her term in prison, and Perry Bradley, his exon-in-law, a secret service bureau operative to frame her up. Their plans would have carried, however, had not their plot been spoiled by the shooting of Perry Bradley by Overman, the girl's husband and the getting into the scheme of the district Attorney. The play ended with the happy uniting of Betty Valentine, the at the NORFOLK AUDITORIUM JUNE 2, 1921 from 8 to 11:30 p. m.

"Policeman" seems to have found his "batting eye" again and the way he is slamming the old pill - O Boy! He is heading the team in batting and while on the last trip he is credited with three home runs. Aln't so bad, eh? He has been "panned" more than any other man on the team by the home crowd of "kickers," but is now getting the glad band from the same gang. Chappie's judgment wins. A movement is on foot to organize a colored baseball league, consisting of eight cities of Virginia, North Carolina and the District of Columbia. If the movement succeeds, and it bids fair to do so, it is planned to have inter-league series between the Western and Southern Nerves league. A meeting of the team is scheduled for next week in Washington. One of the most prominent Nerves row in national politics is backing the project. We wish them success and praise the promoters our heart support. Virginia Normal Petersburg, Va.—The local baseball season closed here Saturday with a game between Hampton and Virginia Normal. The Hampton boys were outplayed in every department of the game. Only two men got as far as third base. Robinson started the game on the mound for Hampton but Petersburg seemed to like his style of pitching and drove him from the game in the first inning. Chambleen, Hampton's star pitcher came to the rescue and temporarily checked the hitting and scoring. But soon the "Wrecking Crew" got busy again and hit Chamberlin consistently throughout the game, piling up a total of eight runs—six of which were made on Chamberlin. Braxton pitched for Petersburg and pitched his usual steady game. He pitched nine men and walked one and allowed four scattered hits. He seemed to have the Hampton team entirely at his mercy. Beside the pitching of Braxton and the catching of Moses, other features of the game were the batting of Nicholas and the around playing of Turner and Coles. The team work was good. For Hampton the batting of Rosebury was a feature as well as a catch by right fielder. Rosebury and the playing of wood. Virginia Normal lays claim to the championship of the Association, having won six games and lost none. Later (Murray) The funeral of Mr. Lonnie Norfleet was held at Bethel Tuesday. Rev. B. F. Gardner preached the sermon, Mr. Norfleet's sisters were here from Norfolk. * On Thursday the funeral of Mrs. Sarah Eley of Isle of Wight County, was held at the Christian Home church. The pastor, Rev. B. F. Gardner, preached the sermon. She was a member of the Sister Tents No. 61. * On Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Boone were called to Suffolk to attend the funeral of their sister, Mrs. Sarah Phillip. * The Children's Day service will be held the second Sunday in June. Next Week Another Big Week at the Attucks girl, with her husband and the acceptance of them both by the Wealthy Valentine. Miss Evelyn Ellis as Bettie Valentine proved herself a most capable artist, interpreting her piece in a most masterful manner. Miss Inez Clough, who played the double role of Mary Valentine, her mother and Mercedes Valentine, a wordly Woman, deserves great praise also for the manner in which she mastered both parts. Miss Ethel Pope, an old Norfolk favorite, as the servant girl was indeed a clever character, injecting into the play enough comedy to give it an even balance. J. Francis Mores as Brand Overman, father of Willard Overman, could not have placed a better interpretation upon his lines; while Arthur Simmons as Willard Overman will long be remembered for the manner in which he characterized, the over-indulged son. A better character than William (Babe) Townsend could not have been selected for the probation officer, and Harry Plater as Jerry Wolf a gentleman of the underworld was just as natural as if he had been a real Jerry Wolf. Richard Gregg as Jim Valentine, Bettie's Father and Walter Robinson also deserve the most favorable mention. Manager Cross and Assistant Manager Kelly are putting the Attucks over in big style. They have promised the public the best there is in the theoretical world and are certainly demonstrating their ability to deliver the promised goods. We believe the public of Norfolk is going to demonstrate its appreciation of their efforts by keeping the box office busy. The Common Law Right on the heels of "The Girl Who Came Back" so well presented at the Attucks the last half of last week by the LaFayette Players of New York came the gripping and thrilling comedy drama, "The Common Law", staged by the same group of players the first half of this week and "The Common Law" was none the less enjoyable than "The Girl Who Came Back" With the exception of Monday night, when a terrific storm was raging, capacity audiences applauded the LaFayette Players in the "Common Law" again and again. When it comes to genuine artistic stage work these players are certainly in a distinctive class, for their work is certainly of a very high order "The Common Law" is a four act drama and was produced under the direction of Mr. George McEntee. The first scene was enacted in the studio of Louis Neville who was of wealthy parentage but not contented to live off of his father's fortune. He was inlined toward art and was determined to make his way in the world through his chosen profession over the protests of his mother whose opinion it was that he could not hold up the family honor and do the work of an artist. Up to this time Neville's handicap had been his inability to secure the proper model to give him the inspiration so much needed in his work. In the scene appeared Rita Tevis, John Burleson and Sam Ogilvy, friends of Neville's who were very much interested in his success and were bending their efforts in assisting him in finding the much needed model. There also appeared in the scene Jose Querida, the world's most eminent artist and who with cunning and chicanery was bending his efforts to retard the progress of Neville, because of his great fear of Neville's becoming more eminent than he. It was also in this scene that Valerie West, the heroine of the story appeared upon the scene through the efforts of Rita Tevis and was engaged by Neville as a model. Miss West was a charming young woman without parents who had been striving against odds to make her way in the world and who, as a last resort had come to the studio hoping to find work to keep her body and soul together. After the engagement of the services of Miss West, Neville's art was a success. He won in a contest against Querida, his eminent rival which only served to make him more embittered against Neville. The second scene was enacted in the same studio on New Year's eve when Sam Orilvy gave a party in celebration of the event. It was during this scene that Jose Querita, the pretended friend but arch enemy of Neville, who realized that Neville had fallen in love with Miss West, his model began his intrigue to separate them and win Miss West for himself. Realizing what the attitude of Neville's mother would be with reference to his marriage to his model, Querita informed her of the fondness of her Manager Cross has another big treat in store for the patrons of Norfolk finest and most popular colored playhouse next week. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, "The Sport of the Gods", written by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the race's premier poet and author, a photo drama, enacted by all-star colored cast will be screened, followed by the LaFayette Players, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in "The Girl of The Underworld", a four-act melodrama, under the personal direction of Mr. Wm. (Bubc) Thompson, featuring Miss Edna Thomas as the leading star. The patrons of the Attucks will remember Miss Thomas as the leading lady in "Confidence", one of the best dramatic sketches staged in this city. Not for many a moon have the theatre goers of this city been favored with such quality attractions all during one week. Those who miss seeing these features will certainly miss an opportunity of a lifetime The principal characters in "The At the Attucks Monday, Tuesday, Wed. Scene. From PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR'S THE SPORT OF THE GODS son, for the woman who had helped to make his work a success and arranged for her to see Miss West in Neville's absence and appeal to her to give him up. After the interview with Neville's mother Miss West decided that she could not marry Neville as it would mean the ending of his brilliant career and offered him herself as a common law wife. Neville could not understand why she had changed her attitude toward him but flatly refused her offer, standing by his determination to marry her. The scene ended with the disappearance of Miss West who concealed her whereabouts to all but her friend Rita Tevis. The next scene was enacted in Rita's apartment, with Neville and his friends appearing there in quest of Velerie. Rita promised that she would solve the mystery and bring Velerie and Neville together. After Neville had left Rita's apartment his mother also appeared there seeking a further interview with Velerie but was folled in her attempt to do so by Rita who made her admit her identity. Ogilvy who was in the adjoining room during the visit of Mrs. Neville, recognized her as the woman who had interviewed Velerie on the night of the New Year's party and so informed Rita who then concluded that she was the cause of Velerie's decision not to marry Neville. Velerie then appeared and Rita rwamed from her the truth about the whole matter. Rita then signaled Neville who was awaiting on the outside of Velerie's arrival, Neville and Velerie were then left by themselves but his persuasion of her to marry him was of no avail and he left in despair. Following Neville's departure Querida came upon the scene and attempted an assault upon Velerie who succeeded in throwing him through the window of the apartment. She thinking that she had done him great injury fled to Neville's studio where all of the participants appeared upon the scene, just after a warm interview between Neville and his mother, which terminated in Neville his mother that Velerie was a far better girl than the society vamp who spent all of her time wooing and winning the wealthiest man and his determination to marry her if she would have him. Velerie fell into a swoon, the mother's sympathy seemed to be touched. She took her into her arms and upbraided her son for leaving her at the mercy of Querida. After learning the story of the girl's life from her own lips and seeing the picture of her mother which she wore in her locket, she recognized the picture as that of her denest schoolgirl chum and welcomed Velerie to her home as her son's wife. John Burleson who had figured in the story as one of Neville's staunchest friends, whose doctor had ordered him to Arizona because of ill health was, too, in love with Rita who was also in love with him and the story ended with the uniting of two couples instead of one and the complete defeat of the schemes of Querida. The characters as they appeared were Miss Evelyn Ellis as Velicer West, Miss Inez Clough as Miss Neville, Miss Ethel Pope as Rita Tevis, Mr. Arthur Simmons as Louis Neville, Mr. William (Bube) Thompson as John Burleson, Mr. J. Francis Mores as Jose Querida, Mr. Harry Plater as Sam Orgivly, Mr. Richard Gregg as Jimmy, the Butler too much could not be said of the artistic portrayal of the characters represented in the play by the members of the cast. Miss Ellis is a star of unusual ability and it is safe to predict that sometime in the near future she will have won fame before the footlights on Broadway. Mr. Plater was a steller light in holding up the comedy end of the Sport of the Gods" are interpreted on the screen by Leon Williams, George Stewart, Lawrence Chenault, Elizabeth Boyer, Jim Burris, Ruby Mason, and Edna Morton Wilson Robert Levy personally supervised the production under the direction of Henry Vernot "The Sport of the God's" is a stirring melodrama of the under world and exposes in a dramatic manner the methods and lives of the underworld's most sinister characters. Woven in with the element of melodrama are the threads of pathos, romance and love and altogether director Vernot has created a pantomimic attraction that stands unequalled for its entertainment value. There are few Americans who have not read one or more of Mr. Dunbar's works. He is (considered one of American's greatest exponents of contemporaneous literature. "The Sport of the God's" is a picture that everyone should see and affords entertainment for man, woman and child.

Mahoney In Tip Top Form Hurls His Team To Victory. Best Game of Season. Chappie's Giants Going In Big League Style By (Stumpp) Jordan Chappie Johnson and his Giants returned to town Monday and began their work by cleaning up for the Washington Hra big league style. They had just returned from a successful road trip on which they had won from every team they met, including a series from the Salem team, and thought it beffeting from them to finish the Washington team. Mishoney, pitching his first game of the season, was on the mound for the Giants, and what he not have on the ball was not well mentions in two frames, permitting them to score in the fifth and ninth innings. In several innings the Braves threatened to become dangerous but Miee tightened up and wouldn't allow himself. He grew up on the Hra to deserve all the credit, for the game, however, for his teammates gave him air-light support. Wheeler started for the visitors, but lasted only until the fifth frame, when the Giants' team took up the role to retire in favor of Johnson, who took up his garden and succeeded in checking the onslaught. The features of the game were two fast double plays by Howard, Lewis and Winters, and a long play by Johnson. The playing of the short field by Kenner, of the visitors, was the bright spot in Washington's defense. It was the smoother game home of this season. Chapple was as appy as he was and kept his boys on the jump. Every man seemed to have had his eye on the ball. NORFOLK GTS. Ab. R. H. Do. A.

LEE'S HURLING TOO MUCH FOR WASHINGTON The bleaves met their second defeat at the hands of the Giants Wednesday, thanks to the superior twirling of Chapple's "Gold Dust Twinn" No. 2, who was in the form and held the Washington boys safe all the way. Wheeler started for Washington, and lasted until the Giants' loss to the Rams. Pratt, who finished the game, the fielding was slow and batless at times owing to the heavy condition of the grounds. The bright feature of the game was the playing of Crum at second, for the visitors and the pitching of Lace of Norfolk, he having twelve strike-outs but for the defensive in the first innning.
