News, Jan. 31, 1929: "Audience Delighted By Roland Hayes. Auditorium Crowded and Great Applause Given Singer. "Because there is nothing showy about it, it is almost possible at first to miss the full wonder of his voice, but never quite possible. Very soon one felt the compelling vitality of his tone, produced without effort and without restraint. Rich variety of tonal color plays over his singing. Individualistic as his style is, it is also completely candid and unaffected. The voice gained in warmth, power and sweetness as the program proceeded, and the effect of the lovely cantabile intensified. It was truly creative singing that the audience was hearing, springing out of some inner force within the artist and arousing indescribable emotions in those who listened."—Jane Judge. Savannah (Ga.) Press, Jan. 31, 1929: "Roland Hayes is Great Artist "Savannah paid tribute last night to one of America's greatest artists, when the capacity of the auditorium was taxed by those who went to hear Roland Hayes, the negro tenor. Seldom, if ever, has the local community heard so perfect an artist. His singing is marked by all the oustanding features which make for the real interpreter of song, and his wonderful insight into the compositions made the program one of rare beauty. "The variety of the program gave the artist full scope to show his remarkable powers of interpretation, each selection was different, the inner meaning of the music claiming the entire attention of the singer, and at times one forgot that it was a human being singing, it seemed as if he were a disembodied spirit breathing forth in perfect understanding the wonderful harmonies and meaning of the songs. His diction is the purest ever heard on a Savannah stage, and no matter what the language he sang in, every word was distinct and clear and at the same time the tonal effects were perfect. His mezzo voce work claimed a large amount of attention so artistic was it, and like all his singing was marked by the greatest simplicity."—Dora S. Mendes. PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Pittsburgs Again Welcomes Great Tenor Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Tuesday, Feb. 5, 1929: "Roland Hayes has taken care of himself for five years, and each season sees him growing stronger in art and surer as an attraction. To us he has the most marvelous stage presence. He stands there, and in pose he looks not unlike Whistler's 'Sarasate,' tremendously sensitive, tremendously intelligent. "We admire particularly his taste in songs; he seems unerring in his judgment. Other tenors may be ballad addicts but he seems to have a genuine feeling for the text, the song line and the composer. Of course we have long since ceased to marvel at his diction; he sings German as if he were born in Berlin, and not in Georgia; and his interpretation might be the envy of self-appointed lieder singers."—Harvey Gaul. Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph, Feb. 5, '29 "One never wearies of this singer's art. There is nothing sensational about his singing; only a deep musical nature and vast intelligence prompts his work."—J. Fred Lissfelt. LOCAL NEWS Mock Trial Held A mock court trial was held Dec. 6th in the basement of the A. M. E. Church. The defendant was charged with violatioin of the N. P. A. or a common charge of bootlegging. Messrs. Ray F. Lark and J. W. Barnes prosecuted the case for the government and A. R. Smith was attorney for the defense.

Now they wear them up to their step-ins. Frank Nelson, the great Hoosier poet, was examining gift books in an Indianapolis store and picked up a copy of his own book, "Along Life's Road." The saleslady hastened to assure him, not knowing Mr. Nelson, that the book was among the most popular gift books, and asked him if he had ever read it. "Oh, yes indeed" said Mr. Nelson, mindful of the long hours he had put in writing and rewriting each poem. "I have read it at least five times." From then on the saleslady recommended it highly, as well she might, by saying to each customer who came to the counter, "Here is a wonderful volume. This gentleman here (pointing to Mr. Nelson) has read it five times." PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Phoenix is growing, so! is Willard He is the man that made a fast nickel beat a slow dime.

The farm question, so-called farm relief, has been discussed so much that many a farmer has a wrong idea of what may be in store for him. His awakening may be like that of the boy who asked a grocer for a job. Grocer Wells only wanted to hire bright boys—those who could reason and think. So he said to the boy: "What would you do with a million dollars?" "Gosh," said the kid, "that's mor'n I expected to get at the start." Gob—Tell me, Cutie, have you ever been kissed? PETER M.

Rev. F. W. Haynes is here from Pasadena to conduct the funeral this afternoon. The fellow who gets absolutely wedded to one way of doing, is unwilling to adapt himself to new improvements or environment, is riding for a fall. Some day he is going to find himself in the predicament that the old maid did. For thirty years she had looked under her bed every night. When she took her first ride in a Pullman sleeping car and was assigned an upper berth she looked under her bed before retiring and there he was. Smith asked Brown to have a drink with him and the latter refused. But why not? said Smith. Well, replied Brown, there are really three reasons. First, I promised my wife on her death bed that I would stop drinking. Second, it's too early in the morning. And. third. I've just had a drink. What has become of the Prisoner's song?—MRS. B. My Dear Madam: It was lost on the Sidewalks of New York. A lady went to a drug store and asked for a bottle of medicine that the druggist could recommend as "good for man or beast." She said her husband was sick and she wanted to be sure of getting the right medicine. Dr. Swan, to patient—"You certainly have acute appendicitis." Sweet Young Thing—"You flatter me." What makes you look so disconsolate? Pete wants me to be pall bearer at his wife's funeral again. Well, it's not your funeral. Thats just the trouble. I was pall bearer for his first wife, and for his second wife. And then he married that Perkins girl and she died, and now his fourth wife is dead, and he is giving me a chance to be one of her pall bearers. And you know I hate to be accepting favors all the time and never doing any. --- Page Fifteen PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Arizona LAUNDRY 100% SOFT WATER Corner Adams and 3rd Street White Autos MISSION DAIRY, INC.

Jefferson Phone 30684 THE MAN OF GALILEE More than nineteen centuries ago, in an obscure corner of Imperial Rome, the nobelst personality that ever graced the shores of time was ignobly born. Out of the ranks of a despised and oppressed people, he arose to the apex of moral and spiritual grandeur. Being priest and prophet of this world, and a king of an invisible kingdom, for more than three years he ministered to a world that was in immeasurable need. He came into the world not so much to reveal God unto men as to reveal man unto himself—to show him the possibilities of human flesh in its most lowly form. And yet, great as his achievements were, it is scarcely possible to appraise the life of this man apart from the religious and political forces which affected him. The age which gave birth to Jesus was characterized by a kind of religious over-poise, and a spiritual darkness that was complete and overwhelming. Then as now, and whenever and wherever people take their religion too seriously, and a priestcraft takes the ascendency, a rigid ecclesiasticism dominated the spiritual life of the masses. The once native outpouring of a great people had become scarcely more than an elaborate system of worship; the dead letter of the law had supplanted the revelations of a living God. Religion was no longer a way of life—it was a doctrine. At one time it had gushed from the heart; now it was shut up in books. Against the doctrine of self-centered aggressiveness of his people, he preached the truth of social responsibility; he taught that only through self-subordination to the interest of the many could a man find the fulfillment of his being. For the negative and prohibitive religion of the Jews, he offered a positive religion of the spirit. He talked of the "whosoever will" the "whatsoever-ismore," "the turning of the other cheek," and "the righteousness that exceeds that of the Pharisees." He Page Five taught that the king not a mere mental a living fire wrapped a soul. Here, then, in est ligion of Jesus, strip and deep rooted p stand the teachings Galilee in their av naked simplicity; he articulate hankering struggle and hope a Defiant of set f o tions, Jesus of Galile emancipation of man ty and grandeur of his life and in his d complete embodiment cepts which he expo taught that the kingdom of God was not a mere mental abstraction, but a living fire wrapped up in the human soul. Here, then, in essence, is the religion of Jesus, stripped of its creeds and deep rooted platitudes. Here stand the teachings of the Man of Galilee in their awful beauty and naked simplicity; here they are—the articulate hankerings of those who struggle and hope and pray. Defiant of set forms and conventions, Jesus of Galilee preached the emancipation of man. And the beauty and grandeur of it all is, that in his life and in his death, he was the complete embodiment of those precepts which he expounded. LOCAL NEWS New Pastor Here The C. M.

That service, price and quality overcome the obstacles of color in business is the conclusion of the investigators who conducted the survey of Negro business after having examined more than 3000 businesses in thirty-two cities of fifteen states during the past eight months. The preliminary report was made here this week to Dr. Robert R. Moton, President of the National Negro Business League, under whose auspices the survey was conducted. "Many of our business men too often confine themselves only to the Negro market—a field necessarily limited by the wealth and buying power of the group served," the report reads. Cases are cited where Negroes have been able to compete in the open market against all comers. "These furnish ample evidence that given a thorough knowledge of their businesses with fair capital, Negroes can successfully compete in the open market regardless of the racial factors. This presents the most fruitful field for further expansion." Negro business enterprises, the report reveals, are still predominantly individual enterprises. Especially is this true in the retail field. Too few partnerships exist and not enough corporations. There are, however, many hopeful signs of cooperative efforts as indicated in the advancement of the insurance and industrial fields. There is a definite need for development of cooperative buying among Negro grocers and druggists. The individual operator, with limited capitalization, stock, credit and equipment, is facing a crisis because of chain and cut-rate store competition. This is general throughout the retail field, and is not peculiar to the Negro small merchant. On the other hand, there are outstanding examples of splendid and profitable retail stores operated by individuals. Problems confronting Negro business men as stated by the investigators —Wendell Bolton, Bert M. Roddy and J. H. Harmon—include the following: 1. More adequate financing and credit facilities for legitimate enterprises. 2. More direct and profitable investment of surplus funds of Negro fraternal organizations to the benefit of the race. 3. Elimination of overcrowding of PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING certain fields with small, undercapitalized, poorly managed individual businesses. 4. Appreciation of the value of advertising. 5. Development of new fields of business. 6. The perpetuation of older businesses from one generation to the next. Too many die with the passing of the founders. 7. Specialized training of larger numbers to meet the growing demands of business organizations. "The survey has definitely shown the need for the continued intensive program of the National Negro Business League in the education of our business men and women in business methods of buying, selling, display, advertising, budget-making and record keeping." the report states. "The field work has thoroughly convinced hundreds of our business men that the National Negro Business League is rendering a valuable service to them and to the nation in its effort to encourage and stimulate better and larger businesses operated by Negroes." Work has begun on compilation of statistical tables, interpretation and editing of the final report from which much valuable information is expected. "This survey is a mirror for Negro business," says Albon L. Holsey, Secretary of the League under whose direction the study was made. "It should show us just where we stand in business—our weaknesses, so that our opportunities, so that we may recognize them and take advantage of them." The Negro business enterprises of the following cities were investigated: Golumbus, Macon, Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia; Mobile and Birmingham, Alabama; Pensacola, Jacksonville and Tallahassee, Florida; Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina; Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Asheville, North Carolina; Knoxville and Nashville, Tennessee; Little Rock Arkansas; Jackson, Mississippi; New Orleans, Louisiana; Houston, and Dallas, Oklahoma City, Boley, Muskogee and Tulsa, Okla.; Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri; Kansas City, Kas.; Indianapolis, Indiana; Louisville, Kentucky; Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio; Richmond, Virginia. The National Negro Business League for wich the study was made was founded in 1900 by Booker T. Washington "to promote the commercial and financial development of the Negro." Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, is President; Albon L. Holsey, Secretary; and A. H. Lewis of Jacksonville, Treasurer. The League has local organizations in all the larger cities of the country. Making Progress Tanner Chapel A. M. E. Church, 8th and Jefferson, is going forward under the able leadership of Rev. A. H. Hamilton, who is serving his fourth year. It is spiritually alive and financially progressive.
