STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE CO. SOLD BACK TO NEGROES First in Local Circulation. Vol. 5, No. 17 ST. LOUIS CORP. BUYS CO. BACK AT PRICE SAID TO BE $750,000 St. Louis, Mo.—Special—St. Louis Underwriters Corporation to take over entire business of old Insurance Company. Deal closed early part of this week. Business will be taken over on or before October 1st. Details not given out at the St. Louis Office. Announcements has just been made from the offices of the St. Louis Underwriters Corporation, 2803 Pine Bouluevard, that contracts were signed this week, whereby the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., becomes the property of this group of St. Louis business men, thereby bringing back to the Race this organization which was their pride. It is understood that the business is to be turned over to the Corporation on or about October 1, 1925. The deal represents approximately twenty-four million dollars' worth of insurance in force. Together with the business comes assets of close to three million dollars and a monthly income of close to one hundred thousand dollars. The transfer is made, including good will, the entire agency organization and clerical forces of the home office and branch offices in thirteen states. The St. Louis Underwriters Corporation, which is responsible for the redemption of the Standard Life, was founded by the president, who was formerly an agent of the Old Standard Life Insurance Company and who cherished the hope of being instrumental in bringing this gem back to the colored people. It will be remembered that at the time the Standard Life Insurance passed into the hands of the Southern Life, a promise was made by Mr Will G. Harris, president of the Southern Insurance Company, agreeing to sell the company back to any group of reputable Negroes within the next ten years. Several of the officers of the St. Louis Underwriters Corporation, particularly the president, had been instrumental in disposing of a large amount of stock and insurance of the Standard Life, and were naturally interested in its salvation. With this in view, Mr. Harris was approached and after several conferences in Nashville and St. Louis, the deal was finally consummated. The St. Louis Underwriters Corporation is composed of prominent Negro business men of St. Louis with the exception of Dr. T. J. Jackson, a wealthy resident of St. Charles, Mo. The Corporation has been very active in the business field during the past year. The Corporation has taken over the Douglass Life Insurance Company of St. Louis, chartered in Missouri for a price reported to be $160,000. They have also secured the majority of stock in the Midwest Life Insurance Company of Kansas City. The purchasing of the Standard Life Insurance is the climax of the company's activities. The sale price, not officially given out is stated unauthoritatively at $750,000 with liberal terms for payment. A new charter has been secured for the Standard Life in Tennessee, but its home office and all business offices will be moved to St. Louis, Mo. The St. Louis Underwriters will then merge the three companies and operate under the name of the Standard Life Insurance Company. The Underwriters Corporation is simply a holding corporation and are not in the insurance field at all. Among the personnel of the Corporation are leading business and professional men. The officers and directors are as follows: Wm. O. McMahon, president; H. W. Mosby secretary; A. C. Maclin, treasurer; R. F. Crenshaw, C. A. Pitman, Dr. T. J. Jackson, Dr. C. M. Powell, J. E. Mitchell, Dr. R. C. Haskell, M. L. Sanford, S. W. Williams, Dr. S. P. Stafford, Rev. B. F. Abbott, Dr. H. B. MeChenem, Prof. J. B. Coleman, Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins, Willis G. Mosely and Attorney Jos. L. McLemore Counsel. The Stantard Life Insurance Company was the first old line legal reserve company organized by Negroes. The first steps toward organizing the company were taken by Heman E. Perry in June 1908. A charger was secured in January 1909, but the company did not begin business operations until March 22, 1913. From this date on, the company grew rapidly until last January when the Southern Insurance Company of Nashville, Tenn., took over the business of the Stantard upon default of payments on money borrowed. The Southern Company, (white) secured the Standard for less than $175,000 in actual money loaned. Brokerages on these loans ran the (Continuing) The Washington Tribune IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES MARK LAST RITES OF HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E.

Bryant told the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead, and declared that Mr. Johnson, like Lazarus, is not dead but sleepep. "Death is not annihilation," said the Rev. Bryant.

E.LANE According to an unconfirmed rumour, Mr. Chas. E. Lane, Jr., has purchased the Lincoln Theatre on U Street, N.W., owned by Harry M. Crandall and the Stanley Theatre Corporation. Mr. Lane has made his offer to purchase, which, according to information, meets the terms laid down by Mr. Crandall, therefore, there is a reasonable certainty that no objections will be met. The financing of the deal as well as the sale was handled by Mortimer M. Harris, real estate broker, according to information. A Tribune reporter called at the Lincoln Theatre and interviewed Mr. Lane, but he would not commit himself, other than to say that an offer had been made by him personally, he declined to make any statement at this time, saying he would rather wait for more developments before saying anything. However, it was learned from good sources that the deal only awaits Mr. Crandall's signature for closing and this is looked for any hour. Mortimer M. Harris, who is the broker, also refused to commit himself other than to say that his office could easily handle the transaction if Mr. Lane desired to purchase the theatre. Dr. Lewis, Noted Dentist, Opens Offices Here Dr. Lewis, Noted Dentist, Opens Offices Here Of unusual interest to professional circles is the announcement that Dr. Stephen J. Lewis who has engaged in the practice of dentistry for the past sixteen years at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has located in the city and will have his new office at 104 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest. In making the announcement of his local plans, Dr. Lewis states that he will for the present engage in the general practice of his profession, he will practice of his profession, later he will specialize in dental diagnosis and exodontia. The addition of Dr. Lewis to the local professional group is a notable one. His activities in the interest of the Negro dental group nationally and particularly his work in the interest of higher standards and more adequate equipment in the dental colleges of Howard University and Meharry Medical College have done much to help both of these schools in their ratings. In both the National Medical Association and the Interstate Dental Association Dr. Lewis has long been an outstanding figure, serving as Dental Editor and member of the editorial staff of the Journal of the N.M.A. for eight years, as a member of the executive board for as long and having arranged and supervised the Dental Section programs for the annual sessions for the past decade. He is one of the most active forces behind the Interstate Dental Association and served as its president for two terms, being now a member of its Council of advisors. He is also a member of the American Dental Association, the Pennsylvania State Association and Harrisburg Dental Society the latter greeting him with a farewell banquet on the eve of his departure. He modestly states that he was the only Negro member of the Society. (Continued on page 6) MAXWELL'S BOOK SHOP IS LARGEST STORE OF ITS KIND OWNED BY NEGROES PULLMAN COMPANY BARS TRIBUNE FROM QUARTERS Because of the fact that the Tribune has given editorial encouragement to the Pullman Porters in the Porters' effort to organize a union of their own, the paper has already felt the heavy hand of corporate chastisement. For a number of years The Washington Tribune has been on sale in the commissary located in the Washington, D. C. terminal yard. Our railroad friends seemed to find pleasure in reading the columns of the Tribune, and gave expression to that fact by increased business at that particular stand. Within forty-eight hours after the appearance of our issue of September 5th, containing an editorial headed "Unionizing Pullman Porters" the agent came into our office; settled his bill and announced his discontinuance of the paper there. While the monetary loss is slight to us, the violation of the freedom of the press principal is great. The coercion upon the Negrorailway employee that is indicated needs be met; and we have met it. You will find the Tribune at Graves' Cafe, 16 G. Street Northwest and at Wood's Cafe 33 H street, Northeast on premises not dominated by the company. At these places you may read with freedom from fear of domineering influences. In addition to the news of your particular activities, you will find the Tribune filled with general news, theatricals and sports written as we know you like to have them. A paper whose editors have passed through several industrial battles, and participated in the World War, never quit at first reverse. When we are right, and know that we are right—we will never quit. LOCAL BOY TO EXHIBIT RING, RADIO Washington D.C. will be represented at the forth coming radio world's fair, New York and the Radio Show at Manchester, England by the exhibition of the finger radio set of Herman Burgess of 2462 Ontario Road, N.W.

ACK TO NOK SHOP IS STORE OF ITS ED BY NEGROES MAXWELL'S BOOK SHOP The formal opening of the new home of Maxwell's Book Shop was held Tuesday, September 15th. Mr. Joseph Maxwell, the genial proprietor has the distinction of conducting one of the largest book stores conducted by Negroes in the country. The new store is one of the most complete in the city. Its stock of books, school and office supplies is the largest of any up town store. Mr. Maxwell has added to his stock every book used by all Departments of Howard University, including its College, Theological Seminary, Medical and Law schools, Frelinghuysen University, Dunbar High and Armstrong Tech, Shaw and Randall Junior High, and all the graded schools. Also a full line of surgical instruments and supplies of all kind will be carried. This is an entirely new feature this year. In order to handle the crowds during school opening week, Mr. Maxwell has added extra help to his force of clerks in order that every patron will get quick and efficient service. The store will stay open every night until ten. The Maxwell's Book Shop was started about 3 years ago. It succeeded Hightower's Book Store when it went out of business, when Dr. Hightower mysteriously left the city, Mr. Maxwell, sensing the need of continuing such a business which had such a wonderful future, opened up next door to where Dr. Hightower conducted his place. Now, after three years of operation, Mr. Maxwell, for the want of additional space, was forced to purchase the building next door. This building has been renovated and equipped and now houses the largest business of its kind owned by Negroes. In addition to the sale of school books, the store handles popular books on Negro subjects, the Negro Year Book, and high grade stationary. A large and complete soda fountain has also been installed. Also, a circulating library branch has been secured, being the only branch library of its kind in this section. This library will give residents in the uptown section access to one of the largest circulating libraries in the world.

Book Your Dates Now No Increase in Rentals (See Second page for open dates) The Murray Palace Casino My People and Other Folks By J. A. Jackson It's funny what a lot of interesting and amusing little things come to one's notice while rambling about the town. And, it is just as strange how those little things, strike a responsive chord with people. It is true, though queer, also that the American reader likes to have some one on a newspaper upon whom they may pour the vials of their wrath and at whom they may pass the sarcastic grin of derision. The fellow whose name fills the byline at the top of a column thus serves a useful purpose from several angles about his life, any how his peace of mind is at stake. He can write a column and live however. He may even have friends in spite of the column. Yours truly wrote "Round about New York with Bill Board Jackson" and for that has lived to come to Washington. Time alone will tell whether he has been promoted or punished thereby. Not knowing which, we shall continue to 'Round about' with only the change of locale to mark the output. This being in the Nation's capital sort of enlarges the scope and by the same token provides greater chances for getting the bumping with which the life of the columnist usually terminates. But, any how here goes. Award us a palm or a fist just so we get some sort of hand. You know we have hobnobbed with actors long enough to want to know the reactions of audiences. When you buy the column you get with it the right to an opinion about it. Now this getting acquainted with a town is a hard job for a country-raised boy. And even though we have visited Washington very many times we have the same troubles as do others getting oriented to its customs, habits, mannerisms, etc. But we'll learn if we are permitted to stay long enough. First thing that struck us as odd is the prevailing habit of those who 'phone beginning their conversation without having acquainted the fellow at the other end of the wire with the identity of the person speaking. Smacks of deep secrecy of the gummiest gum shoe variety. Surely all telephone interviews are not of the sort that need be concealed. That's a persistent habit. Check it up for yourself if you don't believe it. Went over to Virginia for Labor Day. The tired feeling incident to a fifty mile auto tour was greatly relieved as the car reached the District end of the Potomac river bridge, there to be directed into traffic channels by a NEGRO POLICEMAN.

Even writers like to eat well. Not often does one find it possible to dine well at the prices that are within a pencil pusher's range, for contracts give the editorial folks some rather fine taste, tastes that are above their meagre means. That part is settled for us. Josephine Slaughter onetime operator of the Whitelair Dining room has one of those cozy little home dining rooms on T Street that would be distinguished if it were in Greenwich Village if it were in New York town for the character of its patrons. Besides good food one immediately realizes that he is in the company of nice folks albeit none of them give notice to him unless properly introduced. There is an atmosphere of intellect and good fellowship about the place. There is another place that we entered with fear and trembling out of that respect that is inspired by 'Big' names only to find that the members of the Mu-So-Lit Club were just regular folks who can laugh heartily as one of their number fails to make a point in the harmless game of Rotation pool and who enjoy 'sticking' a friend as much as do the less affluent folks who foregather in more plebian places.

He thanked those who had aided at Highland Beach, Md., when Mr. Johnson was stricken, those who had sent expressions of sympathy to the family, those who sent floral tributes, among whom was President Coolidge, and those who contributed the use of their automobiles for the funeral. He especially commented upon the magnanimity of Governor John H. Bartlett, the first assistant Postmaster General, who contributed the services of three fine automobiles. "These expressions of esteem in which Mr. Johnson was held," said Mr. Howard, "affected me greatly and I am p.o.foundly grateful." COOLIDGE SENDS LETTER OF CONDOLENCE TO MRS. GEORGIA JOHNSON One of the first letters of condolence received by Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson upon the death of her husband, Henry Lincoln Johnson upon the death of her husband, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committeeman for Georgia, came from President Coolidge. Immediately upon his arrival from Swampscott, Mass., last Thursday, he was informed of the death of Mr. Johnson. He wrote Mrs. Johnson as follows: "My dear Mrs. Johnson: "At the moment of my return to Washington today, I have received intelligence of the death of your husband. I wish you to know of my sorrow at his passing, and of the sympathy which I feel for you and your sons in your great loss. I have long known and prized the loyalty of Mr. Johnson to his party and to myself, personally, and I recognize that in his death his associates lose a valued friend and his race one of its ablest and most consistent defenders.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1925 Baptists Vote Against Evolution Baptists Vote Against Evolution Baltimore, Md.,—(The Associated Negro Press)—All the general officers of the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, the Rev. L.K. Williams, president, were re-elected at the sessions held here this week.

In reality, it seems, now that the trip is over, that we were just there to have our heart gladened by the expressions of interest from our many professional friends, most of whom backed their words with real practical assistance such as a newspaper thrives upon. And, we got some news. Evelyn Mason, Lionel Monagas and DoDo Green are in rehearsal with anotherwise all-white cast in the Anderson drama, Appearances. Henry Haumel is preparing to open the Theatrical employees club house on 46 Street, and he advises that the organization will have a close affiliation with the Actors Equity Association, thus affording a fine protection for the Negro professionals who so far have failed to avail themselves of the C. A. U. or any other similar organized means of defense. The Hightower Trio, playing Patchogue this week have a bunch of Loew contracts that begin immediately. The "How Come" show seems to be on the verge of having some thing happen. Saw Mr. Grisman in the Hurtig and Sesmon office, and met George Cooper in the Lincoln theatre office. Neither would commit themselves to a statement just now. Charles Matson, the Gayetty theatre booker is arranging to have a series of three week tours about six weeks apart for a number of the big name dance orchestras. Alex Fennor, Clef Club, President declares the winter season just approaching promises to be a very profitable one for the "Clefites." Bailey and Teare promise to play Washington soon so that we may look over their new act. Mr. and Mrs. Al. Dow who have been sending the vaudeville Units into the Howard Theatre, Washington have made a trip to the city to look after their interests. Elcha, the Photographer is in his new quarters in the Navy Bldg. and the Progressive studios may safely be said to have as fine a theatrical studio as one would wish. H. D. Collins is busy moving his from the old Putman Bldg., too busy to give but much news, but we found Henry Wooten, "Big" Lillard and his partner, Henri Bowman, and Al. Wells in his office, and they are all happy. Bert Jones had Willie Gleen visiting his office when he dropped in, and that called for an old fashioned gabfest. Bert has about thirty colored acts at work just now. Met a fine reception at the Hurtig and Seamon office and learned from them that Richmond seems to have already gotten over the harmony spirit that the Elks engendered in that city. Seems that the White musicians there don't want to play in the pit with the "Seven Eleven" musicians. Well, the boys are all good A. F. M. card carriers, and they are Elks, so we shall see what we shall see in Richmond next week. Ray and Lloyd have a new act too and the pictures look well. We know they are artists, so the act is sure to be a winner. Heinietta Loveless is playing a Brooklyn Picture house for the time being, while her husband Mr. McClain is in rehearsal with "Chocolate Dandies." No doubt she will join him. Incidentally Lew Payton who is conducting the rehearsals has a fine show in the making. It at the Lafayette theatre, next week. Jolly John Larkins is being booked out of the Casey Office. "Mississippi Days," a tabloid that is destined for the better presentation made its initial bow at the Lafayette this week. Billy Cumby, Baby Jackson, Helene Justa and Jimmy Marshall are the featured people in a piece that is elaborately equipped; and they, are supported by eight very youthful and trim looking choristers. 言妙 The Musical Spillers and Green and Bumsky are the big drawing cards at the Lincoln Theatre. Bob Slater secretary of the C. V. B. A. is back in town after a trip to Chicago to handle some Columbia circuit matters. Eddie Langford and Gonzelle White with their bunch are in town, and Eddie swears that he will lay off if he has to be in Washington for the Supreme Council of Masonry. Henry Wooten and his wife are in town. Henry has been ill for a few days, but reports himself again O.K. Saw the D. R. C. Gang, and was motored about town by Earl Dancer in the big car that he and Ethel Waters have made so well known that Earl sports an official badge for the police games. "Tip" Harris has the usual good fellowship group about him in the Lafayette cafe. Yes, we had a fine two days in New York. "TOO BAD" "TOO BAD" Will Marion Cook, who is visiting Washington this week, has written the ensembles for a new Schubert production that will in all probability have its preire at a Washington theatre about October 26. It will be called "Too Bad". Sidney-Basha wrote the music. Andres Razaef and Russo Simmons wrote the lyrics and all the dances have been arranged by Louis Doulgass and Leonard Harper while Abbie Mitchell and Jesse Shipp are staging the book, and Will MarionCook is general director. Fifty people are promised in the show with Ethel Waters, now staring at the Plantation room. Abbie Mitchell, Laura Bowman, Ada Ward, Richard B. Harrison, and Sidney Kistpatrick have been named in the east. Mr. Cook will personally direct a super-jazz orchestra, and the "Old Master" feels that he has his masterpiece in hand in this show. The Marks Music Company and the Schirmer Company both share his opinion as the music of the show has already been contracted for in so far as the publication rights are concerned. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE Official Organ of the Colored Actors Union. HERE AND THERE HERE AND THERE The Editor of this page has some information that would be of interest to a high class tabloid producer who would be interested in a Havanna engagement. Charlie Johnson and his band has closed their summer season at the Smile-a-while Inn Asbury Park, N.J. and have determined to make winter quarters in Washington. The Initial engagement in this city will be at Murray Brothers Casino under the auspices of a local club. The singing girls will be included in the offering. They are Sybil Jenefir and Corinne Brown of this city and Jean Gillespie of New York. The band has an offer for the Sesquicentennial at Philadelphia, next summer. Claude Hopkins and his bunch of ten musicians have an eight months engagement supporting Carolyn Dudley at The Champs Elysees in Paris, France. They sailed September 16th, in the S. S. Berengia. Henry Goodman, Percy Johnson and Daniel Doy are two other Washington boys in the outfit. Ernest Hill, Joe Hamer and Henry Saparo are the other mom- The Editor of the Page was the guest of Leigh Whipper and the United States Amusement Co., in their big beautiful theatre in Newark, N.J. last Sunday. There is no mistaking the fine character of the new institution. The house was comfortably filled for the supper show, and an excellent bill greeted them and the larger audience that followed. Neatness and efficiency impresses the visitor from the time the cashier smiles upon one from the wicket until after one has visited the performers in the fine big clean dressing rooms, the finest we have seen in a house devoted to Negro performances and patronage. Nicely costumed, smiling ushers escorts one down the aisles lighting the way with Everreadys. AORKING good band graces the pit, and Warner feature pictures put one in tune with a sense of rest and pleasure before the vaudeville bill begins. The last half of last week brought a rather good bill to this new Theatre. It was thought that it would be hard to supply one to follow the opening but the Holiday crowd took to the new show and the result is it went over for another big week. Wells and Wells very good, opened, followed by Bowman & White fair, with better material would do better. Gertrude Stuffern did exceptionally well in No. 3 spot and Billy Cumber and Jimmy Marshall repeated their success of the first part of the week. Doyle & Willie closed the bill to a riot and made the audience ask for more. The Smarter Set opened on Monday and did a turnaway business, they played the tab Betwix & Between and held their audience. Whitney was very good as well as his assistant Joe Purnell, they added Hargrave and Kennedy to their bill for the week. Homer Tutt is a great business man and can boast of having one of the finest aggregations on the road this season way above any he has had in former years. No visit to Newark would be complete without a comment upon the assistant manager, "Dago" White who solicitously seeks after a knowledge of the tastes of every patron. The Officials of the concern too, all of them, seem to be most anxious to make every one feel at ease. As a social and entertainment center, the house is a distinct contribution to the community life of the city; and as an economic contribution to race wealth, the Orpheum theatre with the 30 heretofer non-existant jobs for Neges, not counting the performers, is bound to give it importance. Take it from the Page, Leigh Whipper has done something WILLIAMS AND TAYLOR CLEAN UP London, Aug. 99 (Special to the Bill Board)—Williams and Taylor cleaned up with their dancing at the Holborn Empire Theatre last week. NEWEST THING IN COLORED CABARET PLANNED FOR NEW ORLEANS New Orleans, Sept. 5.—The latest in colored cabarets has been established in this city by B. F. Brennan. The structure at 1114-18 Perdido with three floors has been leased for a term of years and the doors will be thrown open, late in September. The ground floor will be operated as a Chinese restaurant and cabaret for colored people exclusively and will be designated the Pekin. Here Chinese dishes and waiters, colored entertainers and jazz bands will reign. The second floor will be called the Cinderella Ballroom and will have high-grade cabaret features, while the third will be given over to amusement of every description on the same plan as the old-time museum of decades past. It is estimated that approximately $50,000 will be expended in the venture. —The Billboard C. A. U.

Josephine Baker, Bee Foote, Mrs. Mabel Hopkins and Hartwell Cook will supplement the cast. A fraud order was issued by the Post Office Department recently against the Manhattan Music Company, at 1367 Broadway, N.Y., and A. Rossi, manager, and their officers and agents as such, on the allegation that they are engaged on conducting a scheme for obtaining money thru the mails by false and Tradulent pretenses. According to the department, Rossi was the principal in the concern which induced amateur poets and others to submit lyrics for songs which, it was alleged, were set to music and published after a fee, usually $30, was paid. According to W. C. T. Ayres the Whitman sisters and their "Gang" were as big draws at the Dunbar Theatre, Columbus, Ohio, on the third engagement there for the season as on the previous engagements. There is no occasion for a detailed review of one of the fastest little shows on the road today, for the whole profession knows its speed and calibre. Suburban Gardens Had Successful Season Suburban Gardens, the largest Negro park in Washington, in fact in the Nation, closed its Fifth season on Sunday night, September 13th. The season was the most successful one in the history of a corporate project that had for part of that time been somewhat of a doubtful prospect. This season's success was accomplished during a year that has been the most disastrous in the history of out-door amusements. Behind this season's annual report of the park management lays an inside story of interest. In 1922, the writer, then on the staff of the Billboard, in the course of his travels in the interests of his publication visited the $75,000 Suburban Gardens project that was scattered over seven acres of as beautiful suburban hillside property as one could find anywhere. Visits to other enterprises of similar type had ill prepared the visiting writer to expect such a complete and all-embracing place of amusement for and by Nargreos. But there it was. However, we found the fly in the ointment. Rides there were, and concessions too; likewise a dance hall restaurant and all of the other accessories of an institution of the kind. But nowhere could a responsible official be found, and everywhere was evidences of an inefficient management. When later in print these things were pointed out, the poor scribe was verbally castigated for having brought forth the facts in a story in unvarnished truth, the presented solely as an assistance toward the needed improvements. Truth finally prevailed and the directors began to see a light. One of them visited the office of the greatest theatrical publication, and others thru their own channels took counsel elsewhere. The net result was that a radical change of policy went into effect for the season just closed. F. Morris Murray, a young man of ability, legal training, long business experience, some amusement knowledge acquired through theatre ownership and management; and a reputation for business integrity acquired through association with his brothers in a printing business that is almost as old as are the boys, was selected as manager. He did not assume to know parks, out he did know enough to visit other places of the sort and to seek the advice and assistance of those who had practical knowledge of the business. He made comparisons of costs, surveys of economical conditions of patrons, comparisons of the transportation facilities of parks, large and small. He sought public information, drawing card possibilities, free Reol Production Press The World S. H. D.

Everybody but the New Haven and Cleveland 'Dekes' admit it with him. To them it becomes a scrapping bit of talk. The Washington Deacons headed by Senior Crawford Jones with Director Finley Wilson and the biggest Party of honorarie in one town in the land are buzzing around like bees in a hive, so we may expect some big news to break soon. Senior Pickett of New Haven is again on the job in his corner, having concluded his summer engagement at a resort that kept him out of the City for a time. President Billy King. Let's hear from you. Are you coming to the Supreme council in Washington, October 18th? New York Items The Cotton Club is slated to open on October 1. They have a fine array of stars. Walter Brooks is staging the show and is promising something new in costumes, songs and dancing. The new Revue opens at the Club Alabam next week. Mr. (Bunny) Weldon, the producer has arranged a novel and beautiful revue. Johnny Hudgins is the star as well as Abbie Mitchell, Jean Starr, Clarence Robinson, Hartwell Cook and many others. Billy Fowler's band still holds fort and pleasing the public every night. C. A. Matson returned to New York Labor Day from a tour with Henderson's Ten Collegians, directed by Horace Henderson, brother of Fletcher Henderson. They visited many New England towns, playing dances. This band of young musicians has truly made good, both in their department and in their playing. We expect a great deal of them in the next year or so. Miss Alberta Hunter was in the city the early part of the week. She has some thirty weeks booked for the United Time. We wish her success. Will Marion Cook is selecting talent for the Broadway Production "Sunshine Sammy". So far, he has booked some of the best talent that there is in New York and the show promises to be a singing show, as well as being spiced with comedy and dancing. Sissle and Blake are leaving for Europe in the near future. The Lafayette maintains it's standard of good shows, combined with pictures and bears out the statements of many old timers, that with proper management the Lafayette would be a drawing card. Crowds are very good and the people as a whole are well satisfied with the productions. The Orpheum Theater in Newark reports to be doing banner business, under the skillful direction of Leigh Whipper. act uses and abuses and picnic promotion ideas. Then he got to work. The answer is an official report of gross income that is larger than ever before with a cost record that is less. This the young man accomplished by providing the business with the most modern and approved systems of business handling, and the best possible equipment for conducting the business practices. He installed a group of efficient employees of the sort that obliged him to make not a single change in personnel during the season. No law suits have accompanied the season's burial, all accident claims, and there were only four were covers on the program. He delivered thefer increasing business on the usual low periods helped the business. In fact Suburban Gardens has in this season vindicated the assertion of the Billboard that a Negro park could be made a profitable venture if given a fair chance. ns Corporation ents Renowned UDLEY Colored Star in MONEY" Drama Hit of the Year! Cast of Colored Artists SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1925 By Charles A. Matson TRICAL New Race Theatre for Nashville From the Nashville Globe, September The Bijou Amusement Co. of this city, makes announcement of the forthcoming construction of a new theatre for Nashville. This newly projected theatre will be the Sixth of the string of theatres operated by the local company. At present, in addition to the Bijou and Lincoln Theatres which are owned and operated by the Bijou Amusement Co., this company also owns and operates the Lincoln Theatre in Charleston, S. C., the Royal Theatre in Columbia, S. C., and the Lenox Theatre in Augusta, Ga. The local amusement company about three months ago acquired possession of the old Masonic Building located almost directly across Fourth Avenue from the site of the Bijou Theatre. Plans have been completed for the remodeling of this building into the handsomest moving picture theatre for colored people in the South. The new theatre, which when completed will be known as the Royal. Many new innovations in theatre construction and outfitting, will be carried out. The new Royal Theatre will be equipped for both vaudeville and pictures, although it was planned to operate the theatre from the start as a picture house. The Bijou Amusement Co., was established in Nashville in 1916 by its present manager, Milton Starr and during the nine years of its operation has served the amusement needs of local colored people. Mr. Starr in addition to being the president of the Bijou Amusement is also the president of the Theatre Owners' Booking Association. This Association is now the largest colored Theatrical Agency in the whole world and controls the vaudeville bookings of practically all colored vaudeville theatres in America. This association provides vaudeville to more than 80 theatres located in the largest cities in the eastern half of the United States. The newest New York club to maintain a colored supper show is the Swanee. Bert Jonas has placed a remarkable bunch of professionals in the new 125 st. place. Francis Smith formerly of Foxworth, heads the list. Grace Rector, Leona Williams, Eddie and Jimmie White, Princess Helene, Slim and Rose Henderson, with a chorus of eight girls complete the production. Eddie Green staged the piece under the general supervision of Joe Ward. Dan Ward wrote the lyrics. The place was once known as the Alamo, and played a white band those days.

Her style of rendering songs found immediate favor with the blase habitues of The Kentucky club and in short order the young lady in question had a following. Peggy English had arrived. Her fame as a crooning melodist spread rapidly and it was only natural that the record companies should evince an interest in recording Miss English. After traveling from one to another making tests Miss English seemed no further ahead. Overcrowded schedules, so-called hard-boiled recording managers, undecisive committees found Miss English in statu quo so far as reaching the public on records was concerned. However, Joe Davis, Broadway music publisher, became interested in Miss English with the result that he arranged an audition with Mr. Walter Haenschen, Recording Manager of the Brunswich and Vocalion Laboratories. Miss English had the voice—Mr. Haenschen had the musical and recording directing—and now the public are able to obtain Vocalion records by Miss English. Her first selection, now on sale, include "Want A Little Lovin'," "Charleston Baby of Mine," "Don't Try to Cry Your Way Back to Me" and "You Can't Shush Katty." Laurinburg, N. C.—B. N.

Yet we much friction between the two races, that race relations may become more white press—even the fairest—continue. Race as criminal upon the mere lack that some unseen force is fostering a races fighting each other, despite the for better race relations. On the fifth of this month, "The World," (New York) erstwhile fair and accurate in its published news, carried on its front page in "scare-head" type, "Negro Kidnaps Girl of 6"; and on the seventh, two days later, in an article treating the same case, it came forth in similar type, "Daly Girl Slain by Youth, 20." The point is that in the article on the Seventh, it was found that the Negro who kidnapped the Daly girl turned out to be a white youth of twenty years of age, but no mention was made concerning the mistaken identity, Saturday, of the girl's kidnapper. This is another instance of the white press's habit of attributing all crimes and misdemeanors, where the identities of the ones committing them are unknown, to the Negro. In the "Washington Herald" of September Ninth, "a colored man" was accused of attacking Helen Ridenour, white, "as she was about to enter her apartment." Perhaps, when the truth is known, her assailant will be white. It is not difficult to find instances of the Negro being made the "goat" in cases of mistaken identity. Yet we wonder why there is so much friction between the two races. How can it be expected that race relations may become more harmonious when the white press—even the fairest—continues its policy of branding the Race as criminal upon the mere lack of identity? It appears that some unseen force is fostering a movement to keep the two races fighting each other, despite the—shall we call it?—clamour for better race relations.

Nor do we know the co-ordinate efforts which these two producing than the Negro race. The effects of the conditions under which the idea of the causes; but we have been the theory which might enable us to find it taken sufficient time to collect the data scientific explanation nor to procure it. Indeed, recognize the fact that we are as dissimilar to our white brother. We deny the fact that something is retaliations. Nor can we, likewise, claim that is a flagrant, is basic in its nature, great crisis, race hatred, segregation,endant evils are cast to the winds, a alike—both striving for a common absence of a crisis that we feel and know that we suspect them to be "produce the heart." We consider them articles; subjects reverent to our white broth; that the consolations legitimately derived with the pains of their perpetuation. What we hope the Association for the History and the fourth estate will ally in the Negro a well founded belief thatpective of the color of his skin; that high which every individual must pass; thick, each alike, is not the man, but his which his own real self constructed lived during the period of its incarnation; that we expect the fourth estate to play man's real self free from the thought he unhampered, more real, more wakeful hopeful existence may begin. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, in conjunction with the Negro Press, celebrated the Tenth Anniversary of the Assiciation, last week at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. We know no agency as far reaching in its scope as the fourth estate—the press. Nor do we know any race more in need of the co-ordinate efforts which these two agencies are capable of producing than the Negro race. We feel the effects of the conditions under which we live, and we have some idea of the causes; but we have been so eager to formulate a theory which might enable us to find a remedy that we have not taken sufficient time to collect the data necessary to arrive at a scientific explanation nor to procure a satisfactory remedy. We must, indeed, recognize the fact that we are laboring under conditions dissimilar to our white brother. We can not conscientiously deny the fact that something is retarding harmonious race relations. Nor can we, likewise, claim that the race hatred, which is so flagrant, is basic in its nature; for, in the event of a great crisis, race hatred, segregation, discrimination and their attendant evils are cast to the winds, and white and black become alike—both striving for a common goal. It is only during the absence of a crisis that we feel and know these evils. And it is then that we suspect them to be "products of the mind and not of the heart." We consider them articles of belief—yet to be proved; subjects reverent to our white brother, but vague, so vague that the consolations legitimately derived are not commensurate with the pains of their perpetuation. It is here that we hope the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and the fourth estate will ally themselves to create first in the Negro a well founded belief that a man is but a man, irrespective of the color of his skin; that life is an adventure through which every individual must pass; that the body white or black, each alike, is not the man, but his instrument, a mechanism which his own real self constructed and more and more inhabited during the period of its incarnation in matter. It is here that we expect the fourth estate to play an important role in setting man's real self free from the thought of the flesh that his more unhampered, more real, more wakeful, more intelligent, more hopeful existence may begin.

Henry Lincoln Johnson, most commonly known as "Linc," has gone to the great beyond; leaving behind him years of hardships, study and sincere endeavors. Of him it can be truthfully said that, as a Republican, he was circumscribed and guided by those things, which to his mind, appertained to the success of his party. He was for the party, right or wrong. If it was right, he labored earnestly to keep it right; if it was wrong, he brought his all to bear in an effort to get it right. With him, it was party, first, last and always. Whether or not he may be classified as a logician, it can be said that his knowledge of men and things and his ability—shall we say—to reason enabled him to sway men in such a manner as to be seldom forced to take the loser's end.

The funerty does not permit the military to end of any kind. The fundamental militia The gravest mistake, perhaps, that Colonel Mitchell has made is his attempt to reform the administration of the Air Service, not as a military man, but as a civilian. There must be military discipline if there is to be military efficiency. And no matter how vague the term "insubordination" may be, a military officer can not be permitted to conduct a public propaganda or a Congressional lobby of his own as if he were a civilian. If he conscientiously believes that certain agitation is necessary, he should make his suggestions through the regular channels and then, if his recommendations are ignored, he should resign his commission before attempting to carry on his agitation. Freedom of speech and the rights of liberty are not the same under military discipline as in civilian life. The fundamental rule of civil liberty does not permit the military to engage in political agitation of any kind. The fundamental military rule is that all officers attend to their duties and abstain from publicity. Yet, nothing denies them publicity as a civilian. It is not the truth or falsity of Colonel Mitchell's charges, but his right, as an officer, to conduct a propaganda. The Department of War can not afford to display gross favoritism or abject fear of Colonel Mitchell's political strength; it can not grant him liberties which it does not grant any other officer who is as sincerely convinced he is right as is Colonel Mitchell, if the Department hopes to maintain its self-respect. It is not the uniforms, nor the guns which make the army; it is the discipline. Without discipline, the army is nothing more than a mob. Military and civilian attitudes can not be mixed if the safety and effectiveness of each is to be maintained. Therefore, let Congress and the President determine the truth or falsity of Colonel Mitchell's charges, and the Department of War make a civilian out of the Colonel. If the charges are sustained by a civilian body, make the Colonel Secretary of War so that he may reorganize the entire service. has succumbed to the manly onslaughts of deportment from those to whom it wont to be addressed and now "George," the last of the trio of prejudice born nicknames has been given a body blow.

Theatrical Notes again Palmous G and band story chara gener tong doning world lost nearly time Gloria and affair marrié to give it that through spher ago, Whitney and Tutt's "Smarter Set" to Play at Howard Sept.28 Comes news, having been broadcast from New York, under date of September 15, coming from J. Homer Tutt Whitney and Tutt's "Smarter Set" company to the following effect: Monday September 7, Labor Day, saw the season's opening at the Lafayette theatre, New York, of the "Smarter Set" company. The show has handsome costumes and new music. It boasts of the fastest dancing chorus upon an American stage. After completing a week's run at the Lafayette theatre, the show played the Orpheum theatre, Leigh Whipper's house in Newark, N.J. Either Philadelphia or Baltimore, will play the show during the week of September 21. The Howard Theatre, Washington, D.C., plays the show, the week of September 28. Suggestion was made to have the show play Cleveland, O., on September 28, then Columbus, Ohio, back to Pittsburgh, then back to Detroit. In other words, it would only be a case of feeding the railroads, railroads getting all the money, show receiving nothing in return. A new sketch "Non-Sense" has also been placed in the show. Salem Tutt Whitney, has also written new sketches for three of Keith's shows headliners. As to the season's tour of the "Smarter Set" Company, 1925-1926, this will take in about thirty-five weeks. A tour to the Pacific coast is also contemplated by both managers of the successful organization. "Sun-Up" the play that touched the heart of Broadway, will be shown at the Republic Theatre on Sunday and Monday, September 20, 21. It is a Metro Goldwyn picture with Conrad Nagel, Pauline Starke and Lucille La-Verne in the cast. It is a story of moonlight and romance in the Carolina hills, of a mountain lad called to war, then reported killed in action, only to unexpectedly return and lead his people into the dawn of a new day. Gloria Swanson in her newest and best picture "The Coast of Folly" will be the feature attraction on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, September 22, 23, 24, 25. Once FORUM on A.

Sherrill, appeals to the public for much needed funds for additional equipment necessary to carry on the work. Our local civic Band deserves the wholehearted support of all citizens especially those of our particular group since it is the only similar band group giving park concerts under Col. Sherrill and are given the same recognition as other local bands. Indeed, they have served the public creditably and willingly in the various parks and the response should be representative of the nation's capital. According to information in our possession, colored citizens shall have some part in the musical festival to be held next May. The District Commissioners plan to call a meeting of a number of prominent citizens of both races in the District Building to devise definite plans in the matter. The seventy-fifth anniversary of Jenny Lind's first concert in America was celebrated last Friday at the Aquarium, formerly Castle Garden. Think of it, an audience of 10,000 greeted the Swedish Nightingale in the same place on September 11, 1850, and people paid $20 to sit in rowboats out in the bay to catch just the sound of her voice. Prof. John W. Work, singer, educator and scholar passed away recently in New York City.

WILLIAMS 50 Livingston Street, Brooklyn, N.Y., Dept. 61 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE The Salesperson THERE ARE NO BORN SALESMEN Dear Editor: Salesmanship is nothing more than common sense plus a good Line. A good Line is a proposition with merit in it. Whatever work a person is engaged in, it is because that is the work of his or her choice. A Doctor is a Doctor because he chooses to be one, a Dentist, Mechanic, Barber, Cook, Butler, Waiter, Chauffeur, etc., yet none of them were born such. So often do you hear folks say of a successful Salesman, "He is a born Salesman." Nothing is further from the truth. He is a success because he believes in the thing he is selling, knows more about it than the prospective purchaser. He can so intelligently explain his proposition that he gets the customer's interest. From this point the customer actually begins to sell himself and then only the required Salesman's formality of closing the sale, with the name on the dotted line or collecting the required deposit. There are, however, many square pegs in round holes. Circumstances have thrown many people in mis-fit jobs. They know they are out of place, but through false fear they won't let go, hanging on, waiting for something to come their way. Does it ever come? In most salaried jobs, the colored man is the last one hired and the first one fired. When he suddenly finds himself out of a job, he takes time to reflect and take stock of himself, and if he is wise will choose the field he is better fitted to become a success in. Note that I say, "become a success in," because no man can be the success, the first week he is bound to be several weeks hence. You ask the question; what is the best field for the average colored man or woman? My answer is Salesmanship. Get into the selling game—and keep in it. Try first selling one article and then another until you get hold of the one or two that you can handle best and sell easiest—then stick. The results will surprise you. There will be days that your commissions will in one day equal the week's salary of your former job, commissions in one week, a month's salary. Your friends may not understand how you get along with seemingly so little effort, while just a little while ago when you were on a sure thing salary you exhibited such a strain. A salaried man always believes he's worth more than he gets and in many instances it is true. In Salesmanship you get all that you are worth and there is no limit. Salesmanship in many respects beats the professional man. While the professional man has to wait in his office for clients, patients etc., the Salesman goes out and gets his. The above is just a few sidelights on opportunities offered in the field of selling. Watch this column regularly for interesting facts. It's the first department of its kind ever introduced in a colored newspaper and is devoted entirely to those who do and would sell. By L. H. FISHER 1915 7th Street, N.W. THE PASSING OF "GEORGE" "Uncle" as an address or title has gone into tradition along with the ignorance with which it was born. "Boy" FRANCE TRULY LAND OF THE FREE For the past three weeks the glorious name of France, yea Paris and its immediate environs has been ringing in our ears. The success and encouragement of colored musicians in almost every capacity over there is indeed thrilling to those of us who would see her proud flag from afar unstained by ignominious caste and circumscribed citizenship. Maude Wanzer writes from France: "The Director of the Conservatory is really a broad and intelligent man as well as a musician. I have never in my life been accorded the kindness and welcome he extended to me. Each day he shakes my hand and says something encouraging. When they were making the pictures of one class, I thought it another, he caught my arm and took me flying through the corridor and up the stairs, calling "Encore" and rushed me into the picture. It is such a pity that other members of my race did not come on for the trouble is truly not over here .... the trouble is not in France you may assure the Negroes." Miss Wanzer reports cordial treatment from the American students at the Conservatory, even from Texas girls. This reminds the writer of a statement by a friend from South America who said that white Americans were cordial all the way North until after passing the Statue of Liberty then American prejudice got busy working overtime and none of the so-called white-friend-acquaintances associated or spoke on equal terms thereafter. So too with those Americans over there when they do return home sentiment will surely divide them in favor of "home rule." Miss Wanzer a music student from America, it was sought to bar from going to France to study in Fontainebleau but the strong hand of the N. A. A. C.

Arnold REPUBLIC THEATRE BAND APPEALS TO THE PUBLIC NOTES again the famous star brings us a Palm Beach as a background. Glorious Gloria's gowns are more numerous and more gorgeous than ever. The story reveals Miss Swanson in a dual characterization, first as a belle of a generation ago, who started the tongue of scandal wagging by abandoning her bore of a millionaire husband and flinging herself into a new world of romance and excitement that lost her to the view of friends for nearly twenty-years. In the meantime her daughter, also played by Gloria, has grown to womanhood and has become involved in a love affair with a very wealthy young married clubman whose wife declines to grant him a divorce, and sees to it that the girl's name is blazoned through the newspapers of two hemispheres. The belle of twenty-years ago, reading of her daughter's predicament, hurries across the ocean and opens war on the heartless wife, which starts a battle of wits between the two women, and which terminates in the mother trapping the wife in a compromising situation, and eventually clearing her daughter's name.

AT THE HOWARD The Howard Theatre opened its second week with a jam up show headed by Edith Wilson and Doc Strain, supported by an all-star cast. The show was snappy from beginning to end. It opened with Juanita's trapeze act, followed by Duckett and Madison, comedians. Then Buck and Bubbles, with a clever piano and dancing act; Edith Wilson, as hard-hearted Hannan and Doc Strain, the man with a wicked hip, who says he is slow but sure. The main attraction was Billy Mitchell's Revue of 1926, with such stars as Dick Canomay, Paul Sullivan dancers; John Churchill, soloist; Billy Andrews, Tootsie Jordan and Billy Kelly, dancers. Billy Mitchell sang "You are the flower of my heart, sweet ilodine" made a big hit with the public because they had the pleasure of joining him in the chorus. "RUNNIN' WILD" If superlatives were not frowned on in newspaper offices one might be tempted to describe Miller Bros. new revue, "RUNNIN' WILD" as the most enjoyable all-colored musical comedy of the past decade. One may be permitted to say however, that it's just about ninety-eight per cent good, and after witnessing the play at The Howard Theatre during its weeks engagement in Waashington, D.C., commencing Monday Matinee, some will say that's a conservative estimate. It was good enough, anyway, to play with Miller and Lyles at the Colonial Theatre, New York, for one year, and six months at the Woods Theatre, Chicago.

(Continued from page 1) Dr. Lewis is a frequent contributor to current professional publications, is the author and founder of the Interstate Dental Association Senior Lecture Course at Howard and Meharry Dental Colleges and delivered the first of the lecture series at the schools. He is the organizer and president of the Dental Alumni Association of Howard University and in addition to his professional work and many activities outside of it, has found time to conduct dental clinics and lecture in practically every section of the country during the past few years. During Dental Week in the state of Pennsylvania last Spring he was selected to broadcast a lecture on Dental Hygiene. This selection was regarded by the profession as a high honor and a testimonial to his proficiency and professional probity. In coming to Washington, Dr. Lewis leaves a field pregnant with his activities. He was identified with all local, civic, religious and political movements in Harrisburg. He was an official of the Presbyterian church, one of the organizers and member of the board of managers of the Y. M. C.

SCOUT TRAINING NEITHER MILITARY NOR ANTI-MILITARY The boy scout movement neither promotes nor discourages military training, its chief concern being the development of character and personal efficiency of teen-age boys. To accomplish this, the program necessarily includes special attention to the virtues of loyalty, reverence, courtesy, chivalry, bravery, obedience, order, resourcefulness, cleanliness, cheerfulness, kindness, temperance, neatness, moral courage, alertness, physical strength, and endurance. To this end, special attention is given in patriotism, signaling, cooking, camping, first aid to the injured, how to care for oneself in the open, chivalry, woodcraft, personal hygiene, and the general principles conducive to good discipline. While some of these things are included in the ordinary preparation for the responsibilities of the life of the soldier, in the scout program they are all indispensable if a scout is to live up to the motto, "Be Prepared" and so fulfill his obligations as a citizen in times of peace, no matter how humble his position may be. This means personal efficiency and character development, and thus makes the boy scout movement in reality as a strong factor as any other one agency which the country now has for preparedness. The uniform, the patrol, the troop the special scout drills and activities are not for military tactics, nor can they be fairly considered as military training when these terms are correctly used. They are for the uniformity, the harmony, and rhythm of spirit which boys learn in scouting. It is in the wearing of the uniform, and the doing of things together as scouts that they absorb the force and truth of the Scout Law which states that "a scout is a friend to all and a brother to every other scout." The rifle, the sword, and other purely military accountment are not included in the equipment of troops of Boy Scouts of America. ON THE SCOUTS' BOOKSHELF WOODCRAFT SERIES. By Dan Beard.

Somewhere a woman, thrusting fear away, Faces the future bravely for your sake, Toils on from dawn till dark, from day to day. Fights back her tears, nor heeds the bitter ache; She loves you, trusts you, breathes in prayer your name— Soil not her faith in you by sin or shame. Somewhere a woman watches, thrilled with pride— Shrined in her heart, you share a place with none; She toils, she waits, she prays, till side by side You stand together when the fight is done. Oh, keep for her dear sake a stainless name, Bring bach to her a manhood free from shame. —Selected To be feared of a thing and yet to do it, is just what makes the prettiest kind of man.—Stevenson.

The rise and fall of every Nation and civilization has paralleled the rise and fall of the home and family of that Nation and civilization. In the hurley, burley rush of our present mode of life the family and its members seem to be hurried onward as if by a centrifugal force. One great remedy lies in the owning of homes, and protecting these homes purchased by wage earned money. Be it ever so humble, the home that is owned by the occupant has always been the greatest of magnets to draw and hold individual members of the family group. Should you have trouble with your first trust interest or second trust payment and interest or taxes we would be glad to serve your need.
