The musical play is being given by the Phyllis Wheatley Glee Club, and is under the personal supervision of Mrs. Blanche Mason. The receipts will go to the Phyllis Wheatley gymnasium fund. The cast is composed of some of the best known young men and women of the Twin Cities. Most of them have appeared in various other plays given in past years. This is the first musical production attempted by local talent and according to advance information the production will be a colorful one with beautiful songs, flashing Spanish costumes and gorgeous scenery. No expense has been spared to make this play a delight to both the eye and ear. Twenty-five senoritas, senors, noblemen, toreadors, soldiers, dancing girls, students and aviators, will parade before the footlights in "The Belle of Barcelona." According to an advance tip the love-making scenes between the hero, portrayed by Ira Allen and the heroine played by Thelma Wade, are something no one should miss. Clarence Hughes, known for his strong characterizations of villains is the heavy man in this play, and his wily and scheming attempts, to steal the love of the heroine cause many complications. Paul Curry, has the comedian role of a "red-headed Irishman." Oh, Boy! The other leading characters are portrayed by various other talented young folk.

P BABY CONTEST RACE IS AROUSING MUCH Competition has been running high for the past few weeks as Mothers and friends vie one with the other in selling votes for the different babies who are competing in the N. A. A. C P. Baby Contest. The N. A. A. C. P. whose far-reaching work is known to everyone, is using this method of raising money for its local treasury. This organization is planning quite an elaborate program for June 19 when William Pickens, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., will be in St. Paul to speak at St. James A. M. E. Church. At that time, the baby who brings in the most money will receive $10 and the next baby will be given a prize of $5. A. J. McGavock is offering a third prize. Help the N. A. A. C. P. and vote for a baby. It's only five cents a vote! The following babies are in the contest. Have you voted yet? Babies Herbert Foster, Jr., Mary Jane Syris, Patricia Ann Crump, Maurice Hickman, Jr., Jane Marie Hyde, Eugene Gardiner, Jr., Julia Lealtad, Eugene Reed, James Sterling Lacy, Muriel Holiday, Leatrice Inez Dodd, Yolande Corum, James Ross Culver, Gordon Elliott Weber, Cortland Tendle, Melvin Campbell, Betty Louise Dodd, Ventress Jackson, Nathaniel Foster, Gloria G. Luck, Kiram J. Douglass, and Peggy Marie Rhodes. CHICAGO DAILY BIG SUCCESS CHICAGO BULLETIN IS WELL RECEIVED BY PUBLIC IN WINDY CITY William Pickens Praises Effort to Provide Group With Daily Paper Twenty-eight employes, numerous newsboys, four linotype machines, and other equipment and the Messrs. F. S. Alexander and P. H. Pace, all assembled on Indiana Ave., Chicago, constitute the only full size. Negro daily newspaper published in the U. S. The Chicago Bulletin. Last week it has survived its tenth day of existence without visible difficulty, thus breaking the record of longevity of U. S. Negro dailies. Forecasts have been lugubrious "Race People" cynics predicted "are not sufficiently enthusiastic to support a race daily, however, they may staunchly support race weeklies." But publishers Alexander and Pace would not be downcast. They composed their Bulletin as an eight-page affair containing society columns, beauty hints, talks to women, amusement notes, a wit column and cartoons beside staple news columns—all Negro—executed from a Negro viewpoint. At the end of ten days the Bulletin claimed 4,500 circulation. On Saturdays it planned to issue a magazine section. Of this section, Field Secretary William Pickens of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People wrote: "Little brown girls, who will read romances, can read some romances about brown girls and bronze men and will not be confined to stories about Pola Negri and Peggy Joyce and other white ones." Mr. Pickens, himself an active journalist, was enthusiastic about the Bulletin. "A race with no daily paper," he wrote, "is helpless to combat the lies told on it every hour by other daily papers. My father used to say: 'A lie can travel 40 leagues while truth is pulling its boots.' Much worse, then for Truth, if he puts on his shoes only once a week. . . ."—Time Magazine. The N. A. A. C. P. Baby Contest will not be held on June 16 at Phyllis Wheatley House as planned. On account of Wm. Pickens, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., coming to Minneapolis on June, the 20th, the time and the place has been changed, and the CLOSE OF THE BABY CONTEST will be held in the assembly room, 4th Street entrance of the COURT HOUSE on June, the 20th, at 8 P. M. sharp. Don't forget the time and the date. DON'T MISS THE BELLE OF BARCELONA MONDAY NIGHT, ST. STEPHEN'S AUDITORIUM MINNEAPOLIS-ST, PAUL, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1927 LEON ABBEY IN SO. AM. MINNEAPOL1S BOY WHO HEADS OWN ORCHESTRA GETS SIX MONTHS CONTRACT IN BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA LEON ABBEY Leon Abbey, violinist and orchestra leader whose orchestra has been the toast of New York for the past two years, sailed recently for Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he and his eleven-piece orchestra have a six months contract. Leon is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. L. Abbey, 414 East 25th street. He spent most of his boyhood in Minneapolis, and is a graduate of Central High School. Mr. Abbey left the Twin Cities with J. Rosamond Johnson, noted musician, while Mr. Johnson was playing here six years ago. Since that time Mr. Abbey has appeared in all of the principal cities of the country. Two LEON A WORD TO VOTERS By E. G. Harris 723 Wash. Ave. So. Every voter should go to the polls on June 13 and cast their vote for Mayor Leach, a man that has his past record for his platform. With what Leach has done to make Minneapolis a better city I believe he will be in a better position to carry out what is needed. I believe under his administration the working man will get more consideration, especially the colored man. The colored man should vote for whom he wants and ask for what he needs. We need better opportunities when it comes to work in Minneapolis. Most of the large firms in this city have excluded colored help altogether. It is true that some of our group will not take care of their jobs when they have them, but the better working class should have a chance to prove themselves worthy. We have but few men of our race working for the city, although we have several money tax payers, not even a janitor at the Court House. I am forced to believe that we have a brighter hope for the future. Let our Motto be Political advertisement for which $5.00 is to be paid. Mrs. Beatrice Topp is now living at 615 Bassett place. Mr. and Mrs. L. Fernando Anderson accompanied by Mrs. Mattie Abbey, Mrs. Gertrude A. Thomas, Loyal Lady Ruler of the Golden Circle, motored to St. Paul Sunday to attend the first annual sermon of the Golden Circle. --- years ago he formed his present musical organization, which has been called one of the best orchestras in the country. After a long engagement at the Savoy ballroom, Harlem's chief palace of dancing, Mr. Abbey and his organization sailed May 7, for South America, on the steamship Southern Cross. Last week his parents received a cablegram from him telling of their safe arrival. The Twin Cities should be proud of this local boy who has made the grade. Leon has made many boyhood friends in Minneapolis, and his unassuming manner on his infrequent visits here have made a lasting impression. ABBEY TWO HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS RECEIVE GIRL RESERVE RINGS Saturday afternoon the Girl Reserves of St. Paul held their Annual Court of Awards at the Y. W. C. A. camp at Lake Elmo, at which time honors and rings were awarded. Marguerite Tresvan and Anna Foster, Girl Reserves of the Central Avenue Branch were two of the seventeen girls awarded rings, which represents the highest honor that can be attained by a Girl Reserve. The ring is a symbol of growth towards the Girl Reserve ideals in knowledge, health service and spirit. Fifteen girls were chosen by the St. Paul Girl Reserve clubs as the most representative, all around Girl Reserves of the city, and were presented with blue triangles in recognition of their popularity. Henrietta Bonaparte, president of the High School Reserve Club of the Central Avenue Branch, was chosen as honor girl of that club. Five advisors, including Miss Hazel Wigington of the Central Avenue Branch were also awarded rings for loyal service. The honors and rings were awarded in a very impressive service led by a queen who had been chosen from among the honor girls. Talks were given by a number of girls receiving rings. Anna Foster spoke on "What I Expect My Girl Reserve Ring to Mean to Me." An interpretation of the Girl Reserve Code was given by the honor girls. Mrs. Laura Seymour has visiting her, her brother, Mr. Albert Young of New York City. Mr. Young is on his vacation and he is to remain in the city indefinitely. Mr. Young is also the brother of Mr. J. T. Young of St. Paul. --- A GLIMPSE OF CHICAGO WOMEN'S CLUB AND WELFARE ACTIVITIES AS SEEN BY A WEEK-END VISITOR By Wm. Smith It is admitted that the information gleaned in a week-end visit would be all too little to give full and complete understanding of the many activities which engage the attention of Chicago's Club Women and Welfare Workers. None the less, the brief view vouchsafed the writer, was most illuminating bringing out as it did, the work of two most important Chicago social agencies, the Friendship House and Phyllis Wheatley and the interesting personalities behind the social activities of the Ester Social Register together with a personal interview with Chicago's stormy petral, Ida Wells Barnett. Friendship House, it was explained by Mrs. Ada Waters, the superintendent, is one of the service units established by the Women's Home Missionary secretary under the direction of M. E. Church-one in a chain of such institutions advantageously placed all over the U. S., caring for the interest of all the varied groups of our cosmopolitan population. Friendship House cares for the social needs of Chicago's colored people, its efforts directed toward the welfare of young women between 16 and 25. It is in no sense a charity organization. It gives for a very reasonable cost a home to young women who have none, and surrounds that home with every Christian guardianship, with all the comforts a home GEORGE LEACH FOR MAYOR Thousands of men and women in all walks of life are enthusiastically urging the re-election of Mayor George E. Leach. His RECORD is his PLATFORM. What is that record? Has he given Minneapolis an economical administration? Has he given a SQUARE DEAL to all the groups which make up our citizenship? Has he been the guiding factor in making Minneapolis "A strikeless city?" Has he been a builder or a destroyer? And above all, HAS THE LAW BEEN ENFORCED UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION? What Mayor Leach has done for the city of Minneapolis in the past, he will do in the future if he is returned to office. MAYOR LEACH IS THE PEOPLE'S MAYOR! During his tenure of office, Mayor Leach has been of the people and for BROOKLYN GEO. E. LEACH Being asked what has given him the greatest satisfaction in his public career, he answered in effect that it is the fact that his friends are not limited to any favored group; that they include people of every nationality, color and creed, whether native or foreign born; in other words, that he has won the supreme award of tolerance—the confidence of the people without distinction as to class. His mandate is the will of the citizenry of Minneapolis. Once that will is known he is scrupulously particular in its observance as, for instance, in the well remembered case of the Auditorium fight, when he unswervingly demanded that the expressed (Continued on Page 4) Price 5 Cents CHICAGO BANKER AND BUSINESS HONORED SPINGARN MEDAL FOR 1927 GOES TO ANTHONY OVERTON A Pioneer in Life Insurance Organization for Negroes New York, June 8.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, today announced that the Spingarn Medal Award Committee had met in its offices yesterday and awarded the Spingarn Medal for 1927, to Anthony Overton of Chicago, president of the Victory Life Insurance Company, president of the Douglas National Bank of Chicago and manufacturer. In Recognition of Business Ability The medal is awarded to Mr. Overton "because of his success in a long business career and for the crowning achievement of securing the admission of the Victory Life Insurance Company as the first Negro organization permitted to do insurance business under the rigid requirements of the state of New York." This is the thirteenth award of the Spingarn Medal which goes annually to the United States citizen of African descent deemed to have most signally distinguished himself or herself in some honorable field of human endeavor. Committee of Award The members of the Committee on Award of the Spingarn Medal are: Bishop John Hurst, chairman; Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College; Colonel Theodore Roosevelt; Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of The Nation; Dr. J. H. Dillard, director of the Jeanes and Slater Funds; and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of The Crisis. Col. Roosevelt and Dr. Dillard were unable to attend the meeting but expressed their preferences in writing. The medal will be presented by Zona Gale, the novelist, at the 18th Annual Conference in Indianapolis, June 22 to 28, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Established Manufacturing Co. Mr. Overton was born in Monroe, Louisiana, in 1865, was educated in Washburn College and received the degree of L.L.B. from the University of Kansas in 1888, being admitted to the bar in the same year. Mr. Overton was judge of the Municipal Court in Shawnee County, Kansas, from 1888 to 1889. In 1898 he established the Overton Hygienic Co., manufacturing baking powder, extracts and toilet preparations, of which he is still president. The plant was removed to Chicago in 1911. He is now president of the Douglass National Bank and the Victory Life Insurance Company, which he organized in 1923, and a member of numerous fraternal bodies. Since its organization the Victory Life Insurance Company has loaned more than $233,000 to Negro property owners, only one loan exceeding $15,-000, the bulk of the loans being for sums under $5,000. In April of this year the company had close to $5,000,-000 of insurance in force in ten states outside of Illinois. The company is developing Negro actuaries and prepared its own valuations and all statements for the years 1925 and 1926, in its own office.

BASTIS Alderman 6th Ward Inserted by 6th Ward Negro Bastis for Alderman Club Mr. Sheffield has rendered a service of inestimable value to the City of Minneapolis for the past eight years in a broad, constructive, comprehensive and business-like manner and the upbuilding of our industrial, commercial and civic interests serving on many important committees.

Mr. Sheffield has proved himself to be the type of substantial business man such as we need in our City Council. Mr. Sheffield received over one thousand more votes in the Primary Election than all other candidates combined, carrying every precinct.

COLORED GIRL MAKES VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM Miss Pearl Corine Renfroe, Hutchinson, Kansas, a student in the freshman class of Science, Literature and the Arts at the University of Minnesota, has won the distinction of being the first colored girl to win numerals in atletics at Minnesota. Miss Renfroe won the position as pitcher on the freshman baseball team, the team which won the all-University championship. The winners largely attribute their success to the prowess of Miss Renfroe as their pitcher. Her playing was of such stellar character that she was placed on the women's varsity team, a distinction won by only three freshmen girls. She has also been made a member of the Women's Athletic Association, an organization of college women of recognized athletic ability. Not only in athletics is Miss Renfroe representative, but in scholastic achievements, having an honor and a letter student prior to her coming here. She bids well to continue her success at Minnesota. Seldom do we find girls of our race who can be so versatile as to represent us in scholastic, musical and athletic attainment. We are both glad and proud to welcome Miss Renfroe to the Twin Cities, as being our own and wish her success and good luck. May her activities stimulate and encourage other young women of our race, that we may in time attain our just and rightful place as people of a nation. It is Miss Renfroe's goal to win a coveted "M" before she finishes her college career, an honor which few girls receive. The student is required to gain one thousand points by placing in various interclass sports, such as field hockey, basketball, track, baseball and swimming. DUNCAN-MITCHELL NUPTIALS Rev. C. R. Waters officiated at the marriage ceremony of Miss Kathryn B. Duncan and Mr. Roy Mitchell at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Duncan, the parents of the bride, Wednesday, June 8, at 8:30 P. M. The guests were Mrs. C. R. Waters, Mr. and Mrs. George Peters, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Joyce, Miss Mildred Buttner and Mr. George Johnson, Mrs. L. C. Griffen, Mrs. Henry Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Williams, Miss Armeda Wilkins and Mr. Earl Wilkins. Mr. Williams acted as best man and the bride's father gave her away. After the ceremony a light luncheon was served to the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell will live at the home of the bride's parents, 3313 25th Ave. So., Minneapolis. should have, with companionship, desirable in every social and intellectual way and with such inspirations as lead its young people on to higher attainments. As I sat at dinner with the supervisors and the young women of the Home and listened to their Memorial Day program; as I marked the poise and understanding of Miss Thelma Wallace, the young woman who presided, noted the decorum, the interest and co-operation of all the girls as they sang or prayed or read and was made to understand that this was not a special manner called upon for a special occasion, but the usual daily manner of their contacts, I could well believe that Friendship House in nurturing these young women not only gives them valuable aid, but as well adds to the potential well being of all Chicago and to our group as a whole. This impression was confirmed by facts given me later by Mrs. Waters—facts which space does not permit of record here. Later in the day, in the parlors of the house, as a guest of the Ester Social Register, it was my privilege to meet many outstanding Chicago Club Women and some distinguished women from elsewhere. Mrs. Fannie Bowers in explaining the club's purposes, said its main object was to entertain distinguished visitors and through the medium of their membership bring them into touch with the several organizations represented, into the best social life of the city and assure a sympathetic hearing for any special object which induced their presence in Chicago. Following its usual procedure a short program preceded the presentation of the visitors among whom were Mrs. Ruff, treasurer, State Fed. of Ill.; Mrs. Fannie Givins, national chairman of Fine Arts; Mrs. Minnie L. Patterson, national chairman, Arts and Crafts; Miss Gantz, a native African young woman in America for a brief rest before returning to her home in Monrovia, Liberia, where she is teaching. Mrs. Fannie Turner, past president, Chicago City Federation, presided and presented the program and the guests. Mrs. Grace Outlaw, chairman of music of the City Federation, was at the piano and sang, by the insistent request of many, a composition of her own. Mrs. R. P. Settles, formerly of Minneapolis, but now of Chicago, was Lady of Courtesy, a position which put upon her the duty of introductions and a supervision of the afternoon's entertainment. Mrs. Sallie L. Adams is president of the Social Register. It is quite impossible to recall the names of the many women who were of that group. It is equally impossible to forget the earnestness, the intelligence, the alertness which seemed to characterize each and all of the women present. This gives to the Social Register a dignity and value far beyond the usual club association. Leaving Friendship House our next stop was Phyllis Wheatley. I was being guided by Mrs. Jennie B. Jones, prominent business woman, and Mrs. Lila B. Cannon, Chicago's best loved club woman. At Phyllis Wheatley I was given over into the hands of Miss Clark, its capable director. There is a most noticeable resemblance between Miss Clark of Phyllis Wheatley, Mrs. Waters of Friendship House and Miss W. Gertrude Brown of Phyllis Wheatley, Minneapolis. While this resemblance is part physical—the three women might be members of one family—it is more certainly not of the flesh. They are alike in their characteristics. The same outstanding intelligence, the same deep human interests and that knack of making you feel very much at home and at once. Miss Clark has had wonderful success with Phyllis Wheatley—like Friendship House it offers a home for young women and has now reached its maximum capacity in caring for 30. Unlike its Minneapolis namesake, it is supported almost altogether by its own people. A tag day, contributions by church and other orions, together with payments for board and room from the girls made up its income. Miss Clark is hoping for larger quarters where she can introduce some of the features we have in Minneapolis. Our last visit of the day was with Ida Wells Barnett whom I have called Chicago's stormy petrel —not because she is inclined to seek trouble or delights in it, rather because the years of her rich life from early youth until this present, have been spent battling for the rights of her people. As teacher, lecturer and leader at all times. and in many places she has upheld and encouraged her race and fought with tongue and pen against discriminations, lynchings and injustices of every nature. The hour I was privileged to spend with her was filled with fascinating reminiscences that carried one back over the years, and over the lands of America and Europe, amid scenes and experiences which I hope some day Ida Wells Barnett will incorporate in a biography for the rising generation. CHICAGO WOMEN TWIN CITY HERALD Mrs. J. C. Huggins left the city on Wednesday evening on the Pioneer Limited to Chicago and after a few days' visit there with friends and relatives will return to her home in Memphis.

Burgil, Prop, Minneapoli Death suddenly claimed Lyman Grant Stovall, well known Minneapolis resident, Sunday, June 5, at the family residence, 3741 4th Ave. He was the son of Rev. T. B. Stovall, prominent Minneapolis minister. Mr. Stovall's illness was of short duration and was not considered serious enough by his family to warrant summoning a physician. His death was wholly unexpected as his illness was not considered serious. Members of the family waited on him at 5 o'clock Sunday morning, two hours later, at 7 o'clock he was found dead. The coroner's inquest report showed that the death was caused by the formation of a blood clot, resulting from blood poisoning, caused by infected tonsils, Mr. Stovall had not been in the best of health for two years because of a severe attack of scarlet fever in 1925. The deceased was born, November 17, 1900, being 26 years old, he moved with his parents to Minneapolis from Davenport, Iowa. He attended the public schools here, advancing to his junior year at Central High School. He was prominent in all of the worthwhile activities of the younger group a member of the Palestine Lodge No. 7, F. and A. M. and full member of St. Peter A. M. E. Church.

KOHEN 13 South 5th Street Diamonds - Watches GEORGE E. LEACH FOR MAYOR will of the people be obeyed. There is no one so great but must treat him with respect, and there is no one so humble but may greet him as a friend. A vote for Col. Leach is a vote for a friend of all the people. The Police Force of Minneapolis is numerically below that of other American Cities of the same size. While raising our City to topmost rank in the nation in law enforcement, policemen are still found available to protect our every school crossing, thus giving Minneapolis the lowest child fatality rate in the nation. Mayor Leach has sponsored sports programs for our youth, realizing that innocent sport is the surest and cheapest means of juvenile crime prevention. He is personally active in the original project and helped secure the fund needed to organize the child-guidance clinic that has helped reduce our baby death rate to the lowest in the world. Surely this service to our children merits our continued support and our vote for Leach for Mayor. The criminal element always welcomes a change in city government, especially when it involves the removal of an efficient Police Chief. While the new Chief is getting to know them, they are enjoying immunity. No business house prospers by frequent change of officers and even so our Cities are commencing to appreciate the need of retaining in office men who have proven their competence. Many American Towns boast of having the same Mayor at their head for longer periods than Mayor Leach has served. We believe the conduct of our cityi's business is too important to change our government, merely to permit others to have a turn at running things. The splendid administration of Mayor Leach has proven to be beyond the attack even of his opponents. Our fellow citizens well realize that whispering campaigns are but the last resort—used only when legitimate attack is impossible, and an evidence of such impossibility. The faithful soldier, firm but kindly officer, efficient executive and honorable gentleman has served us well and we want his tenure of office to be continued. We therefore, unite in asking you, Voter of Minneapolis, to join with us and support and Vote for GEORGE E. LEACH, for Mayor. Mayoralty Election-June 13th. HERBERT T. PARK, Campaign Manager.
