Willis joined in extending a hearty welcome to the delegates and visitors. Senator Willis Speaks In welcoming the convention on behalf of the State of Ohio, Senator Willis repeated in substance the address he delivered a few days previously in welcoming the National Negro Business League. He admonished the Negro to keep alive the religious spirit of his forefathers. He paid tribute to the loyalty of the race. "It has never produced a single anarchist, bolshevist, or traitor," he declared. He praised the valor of the Negro soldier through all the wars in which this country has been engaged.

Saunders) Doubtless, you have noticed at some time Mr. Bradley, the invalid who peddles confections in front of the Howard Theatre and vicinity. If there ever was a person worthy of charity, he is one. On Tuesday of last week, as the rain poured down, Mr. Lichtman, owner of the Howard, rushed out and wheeled this seemingly friendless man into the lobby of the theatre. Miss Mabel Whitman of the Whitman Sisters' show, witnessed the act of kindness. She paused beside the invalid, and said, "I see you're being pushed in out of the rain." "Yes," he replied, "Mr. Lightman never forgets me when it rains." He also divulged the information that he would gladly die and be out of his misery if it were not for his kiddies. So for these reasons, the heart and sympathy of Mabel Whitman went out to the man in the wheelchair. It is evident that a disabled man with four youngsters to support, a name to provide for and all that goes along with the two, can not do these things on the paltry sum, he gets from the sale of candy and chewing gum. After the conversation Miss Whitman decided that something should be done in the way of collecting funds to help Mr. Bradly, Mr. Lightman decided that Howard Theater would be the center of the attempt to aid him. That very night Miss Whitman began the drive, which, through her well known ability and the generosity of the patrons of Howard Theatre, netted $103.03 the first night; Wednesday matinee; $21.03; Wednesday night; $85.93; Thursday matinee; $23.33; Thursday night; $48.75; Friday matinee; $15.80; Friday night; $74.00 Friday mid-nite show; $85.25; Saturday matinee; $41.11; Saturday night; $73.53; Sunday matinee; $12.56; Sunday night; $60; Mr. Lightman added another $10 making a total of $670. The drive was begun by $10 from Mr. Lichtman and $10 from the Whitman sisters. The money has been placed in the Prudential Bank with trustees as follows: Mr. Banton, vice-president of the bank; Mr. A. E. Lichtman, and Mrs. Bertha Throckmartin, cashier of the Howard Theatre. Medical attention, a warm house, food and clothing for the winter, sanitation for both Mr. Bradley and children are the purposes for which the money will be used. Arrangement has been taken to insure the proper disposal of the fund. VIRGIN ISLANDER VISITS CITY Hon. R. I. Amphlett Leader, postmaster at Frederickstead, Virgin Islands, was a visitor here this week as the guest of Mr. Coage, of 1911 11th Street, Northwest.

NOMINATION FOR JUSTICE OF PEACE Tulsa, Okla., Aug. 15—With the main plank in her platform to "do what good I can to help the community and to give every man and woman a square deal," Mrs. Ellen Lathon, the first Negro woman in Tulsa to run for office won one of the Republican nominations for justice of the peace in the fourth district. Today was a happy one for Mrs. Lathon, but she celebrated her victory by staying at home with her daughter, Miss Mattie Lee, a graduate of Fisk College, Nashville, Tenn., and cleaning up the house. "No, I never practiced law, but I have studied it quite a bit and have always been interested in it. My husband was justice of the peace out here once so I learned about the job and its duties through helping him sometimes." Mrs. Lathon has made speeches in her district and conducted her campaign along the same plans that other candidates have done. She had 1,720 votes as compared to the 1,520 of her nearest opponent, H. C. Dickinson, a white man. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, AUGUST 27.1926 ```markdown ``` Gilchrist Stewart Dies Suddenly at Cleveland Cleveland, Aug. 25, (Special)—A pallet of sadness was cast over the Elk Convention here today when Atty, Gilchrist Stewart, the "little corporal," died suddenly this morning from an attack of acute indigestion.

Boston, Mass., Aug. 25 (Special)—The conventions of the Knights Templars, the Ancient Egyptian Arab Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the International Conference of Royal Arch Masons, the conference of Grand Masters of Prince Hall Masonry, the convention of the Order of Eastern Star, the annual session of the Heroines of Jericho, the meeting of the Order of Cyrenes, and the biennial "Amen Corner" of the Deacons Club, attracting nearly ten thousand Negro Masons to the Hub City, have been a revelation to the community. The local colored papers have been issuing special daily editions that are creditable and enterprising productions. Both the Guardian and the Chronicle have covered the different conventions in detail. The Shriners parade through the business streets of the city was declared to be the most picturesque and spectacular that the town has witnessed. Mecca Temple patrol of Washington commanded by Captain Ashton, a Washington policeman in private life, with its ornate uniform and spears, drew a lot of attention to the Shriners from the national capital. The marching club headed by Potentate Alston of the capital city was another interesting feature. Other temples in the parade included Syria of Boston; Arabic of Chicago; Sahara of Pittsburgh; Sinai of Cinecinnati; Azure of Atlantic City; Constantine of Providence; Pyramid of Philadelphia; Persian of Indianapolis; Hadji of Buffalo; Mecca of Toledo and Medina of New York City. Altogether more than 3,000 shriners were in line, with perhaps a hundred cars bearing Daughters of Isis, not the least attractive of which was the delegation from Oasis Court No. 2 of Washington.

SCHOOL FOR DINING CAR MEN STARTED Philadelphia, Pa.—Plans for the establishment of cooking schools for the stewards, chefs, and waiters of its dining-car service were recently announced by the Pennsylvania Railroad. The first of the schools will be located in Columbus, Ohio, where the company has under construction a new commissary building. Similar schools later will be established at New York and Chicago.

The schools will consist of a reproduction of the latest Pennsylvania Railroad dining car kitchen. Graduates will be given diplomas. Hollywood, Calif., (Pacific Coast News Bureau). Acting upon the protests of the Westerners' Protective Association, an organization composed of one hundred and fifty cowboy motion picture actors and extras, the War Department last week transmitted to post commanders and naval heads an order signed by Brigadier General Lutz Wahl, acting adjutant general, forbidding them to lend government troops to motion picture companies where the use of such men keep civilians from employment. The cowboy actors, fifty per cent of whom served in the World War, based their protest on the theory that renting United States troops to private individuals for private gain is an unconstitutional practice, exposing federal property to risks of private enterprise and throwing hundreds of men out of work. They contended that the motion pirtue industry was using the political power of Will Hayes, czar of the movies, to employ soldiers, sailors and marines in pictures thus saving the cost of extra workers. 8.000 Soldiers in "Rough Riders" 8,000 Soldiers in "Rough Riders" The protective organization was formed and the fight undertaken following the use of the United States Marines in "Tell It to the Marines"; an, to stop the Famous-Players-Lasky company from using 8,000 soldiers at Ft. St. Houston near San Antonio, Texas, in their Spanish-American war drama "The Rough Riders" now entering production. Order Hits Colored Troops Order Hits Colored Troops The government order includes the 10th U. S. Cavalry stationed at Ft. Huachuaca, Ariz.; and the 25th Infantry at Camp Stephen D. Little near Nogales, Ariz., both of which have been used at various times in motion pictures. The famous "Fighting 10th" and their picturesque fort nestling among the hills a few miles from the Mexican border, have been the favorite ones chosen when real daring horsmanship has been needed. Marshall Nielan a few years ago transported a special train of Hollywood actors, carpenters, electricians, camera men, etc., including hundreds of Indian costumes and a big balloon from which to shoot scenes from the air, for his big special "Bob Hampton of Placer." In the thrilling fighting scenes one colored soldier was fatally injured when his horse stumbled and threw him under the hoofs of the charging troops. In Colored Pictures In 1921 George P. Johnson, director, and Harry Gant, cameraman of the Lincoln Motion Picture Co., were given authority to "shoot" scenes of the troops and fort for their pictorial film "A Day with the 10th Cavalry." Action pictures were also taken for atmosphere scenes to be used in a Lincoln special "Black Americans" which was started but later postponed. Featured in "The Golden Strain" Featured in "The Golden Strain" Last year the famous 10th and their historic fort were featured in "The Golden Strain," a story adapted by Eve Unselst from Peter B. Kyne's thrilling fiction story "Thoroughbreds." Using Fort Huachuca for the locale of his story, a tale of a West Point boy who came to famous old Huachuca with fear in his heart that he was a coward, director Victor Schertzinger produced a wonderful romance of the early frontier days in Arizona. The board of directors of the I. B. P. Order of Toussaint held their regular meeting Sunday, August 15, 1926, at the home of Katherine Plummer, Herndon, Va.

Waters, Jr.. Secretary, 420 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. SPEND YOUR EVENINGS AT DR. INGRAM, THE FEMALE SPECIALIST, SAYS, NOT APPENDICITIS It was quite a sad instant when mother, father and all had lost hopes of their daughter. They had good reason for losing these hopes. The daughter had refused to notice anyone at all and had been sick for more than two weeks. She also had refused to eat for five or six days. Physicians had diagnosed her case before her coming to Washington, D.C., appendicitis. This was more than four years ago, in 1922. Dr. Ingram contradicts this statement of appendicitis. In many instances when the cases come to be complicated and when they have been standing for many years, I will admit they will show symptoms of appendicitis when this can be gastric and neuritic conditions, especially of the female sex. My many years of experience has convinced me that women who are suffering from either ulcers, abscesses or swelling glands; when they have come to be nervous wrecks and have ulcers of the stomach with neuritis and gastritis, these will affect the entire system so it will prevent them from having the proper use of the limbs and will appear as though they are going to lose the use of the right hip, but not always the right, sometimes the left. The more serious pain will appear in the right side, then parallel to the right into the left. Usually it will reverse from the left to the right. When there is an ulcer of the stomach there will appear in many instances a tendency to nausea. There will be a continuation of this information in the next issue of this paper. I am always ready to give free information concerning female ailments at my office at the Whitelaw Hotel, 2nd floor, 13t. and T Streets, Northwest, Washington, D.C.

LOCAL U.N.I.A. CONVENTION CELEBRATES GARVEY'S BIRTHDAY The local organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its associate bodies held their annual convention last week at Walker Memorial Church on Thirteenth Street, between U and V Streets, Northwest. On Tuesday evening, the birthday of Marcus Garvey, national president of the organization. CHEER GARVEY Parade Opens Convention of Association He Founded New York, Aug. 16—Thousands of Negroes cheered the name of Marcus Aurelius Garvey, at one time provisional president of the African Republic, admiral of the Black Star Line and president-general and founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, at a parade opening the association's local convention. Garvey's absence, on account of imprisonment in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, seemed to stir the crowd to even greater applause than if he were leading the parade himself. Numerous banners bore the name of the self-styled leader of all the Negro people of the world, and two gold-braided lieutenants of Garvey supported in an automobile, a life-size oil portrait of him in full dress. ```markdown ``` Face Creams 55c Pond's Vanishing ..... 48c 56c Pond's Cold ..... 48c 55c D. & R.

Jones, the latter, with Officer Crook, arrested Roland Washington for the robbery of the shop of William Warren at 804 Florida Avenue, and upon a charge of assault and battery. Meanwhile headquarters detectives have been seeking the young man on charges of having committed robberies in about eight other stores. Washington was held for the grand jury on the robbery charge and given 180 days on the assault charge by Judge McDonald. In response to the attorney's request to fix bond on the robbery charge, the judge announced that none was needed as the above mentioned sentence would assure the police as to his whereabouts until the other cases came up. Within four days after his commitment to jail, Washington with three others were foiled in an arrangement to escape that involved the killing of a guard, and the use of a rope made of blankets. The plot was tipped off, according to reports from the jailer's office, in time to prevent the slaying of the guard with a piece of iron pipe that was found in Washington's cell.

SIX HOWARD B COACH WATSON WILL START WORK SEPT. 1 HOWARD'S FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Recently noting that "Bill" Roper of Princeton was to conduct a course in football at the Springfield College Summer School, Springfield, Mass., Doctor Scott, business manager of the board of athletic control of Howard University, immediately got in touch with the authorities of Springfield College and arranged for Coach Watson of Howard to "sit in" with Roper and other outstanding coaches who were scheduld for the Springfield conferences. These were quite intensive affairs. Coach Watson had the benefit of "inside conferences" with Messrs. Roper and Whitman of Princeton; Dan Kelly of Harvard; McLaughry, who coached Amherst last season and goes to Brown for 1926; Berry of Springfield, along with a large number of successful coaches of somewhat smaller schools. The conferences took form of a series of round table discussions in which the participants spent from eight to twelve hours a day, during that time discussing football alone. They were denominated by the Springfield officials as football "jambores." A Strong Machine Promised The Howard coach expressed great satisfaction upon his return and figures to provide the strongest machine that has ever represented Howard for the coming season. Practically all of last season's squad will return, and in addition some highly promising new material. Coach Watson will not only have the benefit of services of Long and Dokes, seasoned veterans of the last two years, but is planning to call to his aid certain successful backfield stars of other years also to assist him. Already orders have been placed by the Howard board of athletic control for new equipment: for the Bison team and the same moral support will be given this year as has been in other years, not only by members of the board of athletic control, but by the entire faculty, alumni, and student-body. All in all. Howard looks forward to a year of very great success With practice starting September 15, the team should be well under way for the first game October 9. The Howard Schedule The Howard schedule promises to be quite a heavy one. It is as follows: October— 2—open 9—Livingstone College, Howard Stadium. 16—Morehouse College, Howard 23—West Va. Coll.

Everything is in readiness for the preliminaries, and, unless the uniform seen happens, St. Paul's tutors will sit right down to hard work on the first day of training. The coaches have already mapped out their tactics, arranged their practice program and outlined the details of their 1926 campaign. Faces Heavy Schedule St. Paul faces the heaviest schedule in her gridiron history. The first three games will be played away from home and these will be association games. The Tigers will play every school of the C.I.A.A., and, in addition, will play St. Augustine's, their sister school, of Raleigh, N.C., and the North Carolina State College for Negroes of Durham.

Taylor Head Coach Hubert Arnold Taylor, first assistant coach the past three years, succeeds Winston Douglas who was St. Paul's renowned mentor from 1921 to 1925, inclusive.

Mr. Taylor is an alumnus of St. Paul, class '16, and he did special work in physical education and athletics at Springfield College and the University of Pennsylvania. He coached St. Paul's successful football team in 1920. He was connected with the Newport News "Y" for five years after graduating from St. Paul. He is St. Paul's only five-letter man, having been awarded the official monograms in football, basketball, baseball, tennis and track. Maddux First Assistant Ashur Lee Maddux, former St. Paul baseball and football captain, star half-back, end and popular player, has been appointed first assistant football coach. Mr. Maddux is thoroughly familiar with the Douglas-Taylor famous system, having played three consecutive years on the celebrated "wonder team." He is a graduate of St. Paul. high school "22, junior college 24. The fact that Taylor and Maddux have been chosen to direct and supervise the coaching is indicative of no early change in the unique Douglas-Taylor style of play which has been so favorably commented upon by coaches of national repute and sports editors of recognized ability. 1925 Varsity Team Will Return The 1925 varsity team will return intact. Captain Booker Taliofero Pierce, 27, of Chapmanoke, N.C., will reach the school on September 10, which will give him ample time to have several conferences with the mentors and fully acquaint himself with the many and important duties devolving upon the coveted position to which he was unanimously elected by his teammates a year ago.

PREPARATIONS MADE FOR HORSE SHOW AT MANASSAS VA., LABOR DAY, SEPTEMBER 6 AND 7 The management of the Manassas Horse Show Association is now busy completing arrangements for the 22nd annual Horse Show and Racing events at Manassas, Va., beginning Labor Day, September 6 and ending September 7. This is a most popular social event with members of our group in this section of the country, having patrons from all parts of the states of Virginia and Maryland and from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, due to the holiday season and the splendid motor routes from all parts. Old friends you have not seen for years are usually at the Manassas Horse Show. Four good, traversable highways lead from Washington to Manassas. The most popular is across Key Bridge to Falls Church, Fairfax Courthouse, thence to Manassas. This year's amusement facilities constitute a beautiful ground comprising about 20 acres with grassy stretches and beautiful groves equipped with adequate water plant; a dancing pavilion continuously operated: grand strand and refreshment booths; a show ring in which provision is made for exhibiting twelve classes daily; half-mile race track, upon which three good races with substantial purses for the winners, are run daily; midway camps, carnivals, and a grand ball each night out of which all patrons can find the sort of amusement that, may, suit their fancy.

It has been brought to the attention of old and young by its recommendations as one of the most healthy sports. It has appealed particularly to women by its recommendations as a form and complexion beautifier. Therefore, our local swimming pools have been watched with unusual interest during this summer. Among them, stands out the pool at Howard University, which closed its first season of eight weeks, August 18. The advantages of the pool have been heralded by those who attended classes there. The pool is in the basement of the recently constructed gymnasium on the university campus. It is twenty by sixty feet, with a standard intercollegiate diving board. The water, which contains no chemicals, and comes direct from the district reservoir filters, (a sanitation afforded to few pools) changes every two hours. Opened in June On June 23, the pool opened, with Coach John Harold Burr as swimming instructor. A credit course in swimming, the fee for which was fifteen dollars, was offered, together with recreational classes for the summer students, internes, instructors, and any others who were connected with the university. As the season advanced, however, the restrictions for entrants became more liberal. The classes were held at three different periods each day. From eight to nine in the morning, the pool was open to men; from twelve to one in the afternoon, the credit course was given; and from one to three in the after- FOUNDED 1857 Negro "Spirituals" In this announcement I desire to express what I feel about this wonderful music of the Negro. Many of these melodies are unquestionably of ancient Tribal Origin and were brought to this country more than 300 years ago by those poor beings who, torn from their homes, were sold into slavery. Hearing them, you will find that many are expressive of deep sadness and suffering; rarely do they express worldly happiness or joy. Added to and taken from as time went on, they gradually became a fountain of hope and consolation—always expressing the negroes' faith in God and belief in immortality. The "old" negro of 50-100 years ago had a "spiritual complex" that passes modern understanding; with all honor, he clung reverently to "de word o' God" as expounded to him by his spiritual advisers. These "Negro Spirituals" will remain forever as "Classics" of the purest negro "blood" that ever found lodgment within our shores. They are as soul-stirring as the cry of Rachael. I recommend these songs to all lovers of Emotional, Uplifting, SPIRITUAL MUSIC. E. H. DROOP. 10,000 More New —of the DISCONTINUED Face. Regularly priced at 75 tomorrow morning at.....

Many of those attending the classes attributed this to the unusual personality of Mr. Burr. He is acclaimed to be cultured, courteous and efficient. He w.s well respected by his students. When interviewed by a Tribune reporter, Mr. Burr said: "I am safe in saying that about one hundred and eighty-three persons learned to swim at least forty feet at the university pool this season." He also said that he guarantees to teach the average person to swim in six lessons. In July, he conducted a swimming meet for his students, the details of which have already been published in the Tribune. He gave Red Cross life saving tests to those qualifying for them.

The show had its premiere at Hurtig and Seamon's own theatre on 125th Street, New York City. Billy Mitchell, Andrew Tribble, George Cooper, Leroy Broomfield, Alberta Perkins, Aurora Greeley, Emma Jackson, Grayee Rector, Amon Davis, and "Happy" Holmes are in the cast. Tim Brymn has charge of the orchestra. Dewey Weinglass has opened at the Lafayette Theatre, New York, a new production called "The Mysteries of 926." There is reason to expect the how to appear in Washington within few weeks. Paul Bass, Jenkins and enkins, George McClendon, the Tessianian Four, Margaret Simms, Eddie Jurke and Izzy Ringgold and the famous dancing demons are in the cast. Percy Driscoll and John McIntyre, a pair of Chicago concessioners who played the Lexington fair two weeks ago and have come East to try the local horse shows, fairs and picnics, were allers at the Tribune office with "Hoggy" Lewis, one of the store keepers whose face is familiar on every celebration ground in this vicinity.

WHITE ACTOR CLAIMS LIFE TO BE THREATENED BECAUSE OF PLAY Frankk Keenan, the white actor appearing in "Black Velvet" a malicious propaganda film against the colored people, and making personal appearances with the screened play, claim to have been the recipient of a letter threatening his life in Chicago. The epistle is said to have been signed "By 25,000 Negroes" and to have attached a clipping from a colored newspaper condemning the play. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1926 J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE SAM REEVIN MARKS CLOSE OF LONG ILLNESS WITH DECLARATION OF POLICY The 1926-27 season is near at hand. Applications for bookings to begin soon are coming in from the greater number of theatres that have been closed during the summer; also, from theatres from different parts of the country. It is a fact that more theatres were closed this summer than usual, but it is not because business was bad and they had to close, but due to the fact that the last season proved to be quite a profitable one, and expecting a still better season in the one that is coming. The managers took a little rest (and gave the performers one), and in the meantime, had their theatres "fixed up," and are ready for the season. The T.O.B.A. offices naturally were, to a certain extent, handicapped during the off-season. With the greater number of the theaters closed, it was impossible to take care of all the shows asking for bookings, and now with the advent of the new season, we are ready and will be able to take care of the shows applying for bookings. We have already arranged with several well-known attractions to tour the T.O.B.A. this coming season, and notwithstanding the rumor that the T.O.B.A will use tabs only the coming season, I wish to make it clear that this is not our intention, and we will not pursue such a policy. We need variety and as heretofore, we will use everything in the amusement line from singles, teams and trios, to companies of from thirty-five to forty people. It is also our intention to encourage and introduce more novelty acts on our vaudeville units the coming season. There is another important feature that I wish to make clear, and that is about salaries. I have received a number of letters from acts and managers of the smaller tabs, insisting that their productions are better than the other fellows', and hence, worth more money, and making the claim that all teams or companies receive the same salary, and as their act or company is the best, it is worth and should receive more money. I do not claim that the acts or companies have always received as much as the show was worth, nor that some have not been overpaid, but the fact is that we have no "set" nor "uniform" prices for the many attractions, for it is known that we paid to some individual teams, more than to some twelve or fifteen people tabs. We have teams on our books that we pay as high as $500 and $600 per week, to some musical tabs, as high as $2000 to $2,500 per week, and if some teams or companies receive an "ordinary" salary, it is because they have an "ordinary" act or company. The act usually receives in accordance with its drawing power. We are not setting a salary for an act or company, and sticking to that price forever—absolutely no—for as soon as the act or company improves and proves its value, we are willing and glad to pay in accordance with its improvement, but the increase in salary must be deserved and justified. Musical Tabs Some musical tabs work for a certain salary with a certain number of people. A few weeks later the same show picks up four or five more chorus girls, and hastens to inform the booking office that they have a "big show," and ask for double the salary they previously worked for, for they made so important an improvement. I do not know whether they don't understand, or think that the booking agent and managers don't understand, that the number of chorus girls does not make the show, and that by adding a few more girls that they "picked up," they only added excess weight to the ordinary show, which makes it harder to book. Sometimes the managers of musical tabs ask, "Why is it that so and so is getting steady bookings and more money for his show with less people, and I cannot get as much with a larger show?" There is only one answer to this. That the other fellow has what the public wants,—therefore, his show is in demand. Not until you have a show that draws can you expect the same consideration and salary. Think of This We have the bookings—give us the show, and if you have it, you will get the same consideration as the other fellow, but as long as you will permit your comedian to depend on smut and vulgarity, to be funny, as long as your comedian will wear the same old filthy overalls and shirt, as long as your "black face" will smear some cork on his face and the front of his ears, and leave his neck, behind his ears and under his chin, the natural color, as long as your chorus girls will be different sizes, and will all wear different dresses, and while "working in harmony" will make different steps, as long as you will use the same old songs and gags that the public is sick and tired of, as long as you will introduce a straight man who is funny to look at, and as long as you will "carry" a leading lady who cannot sing and proronely lead a chorus, then, no matter how much you may think of your show and your leading lady, you will not be able to get the consideration, the bookings and the money that the other fellow who has THE SHOW is getting. Do Better When your wife, your leading lady or your chorus girls go to buy a dress, they select the latest style, they would not accept an old style dress, even for half the price—yet, they introduce songs that are as old as the hills, songs REPUBLIC THEATRE You St.,near 14 Show Starts EVERY DAY at 3 p.m. W.

The managers of above described tabs try in all ways to find out "how much" the ether show is getting, but don't even think of trying to find out the reason why, and if you tell them, they will insist that their show is as good and even better than the other fellow's. Now, the season is here. The theatres are re-opening. We can still use quite a number of shows, and from the above, it is plain as to who will get the preference. SAM E.

This attraction comes direct from the West, where it has been playing for the past year. It is offered as, and is the original company. The demand was made with the eastern managers with the understanding that the show would come to the theatres of the East just as it appeared in the West and South, without changes in personnel, and the management can truthfully guarantee that the patrons of the Howard will see the original show with the original cast. Of the many shows offered, this is the season's best offering.

Liberal cash pries were awarded to the winners. While the attendance was fully up to that of preceding years, concessioners report that the volume of money spent was somewhat less than usual. VALENTINO PICTURE AT THE DUNBAR If you liked Rudolph Valentino in "Monsieur Beaucaire" you will love him in "A Sainted Devil." The scenes in "A Sainted Devil" are laid in the Argentine, in the elaborate palaces of the nobility, in the picturesque haunts of the lower classes and in the rugged mountain fastnesses of that romantic land. You will see the ever popular Rudy as "Don Alonzo," son of a millionaire, engaged to be married to the lovely "Julietta" (Helen D'Algy). Fired by the jealousy of the tiger-woman, "Carlotta" (Nita Naldi), a bandit band sweeps down from the mountain haunt and kidnaps "Julietta" in the midst of the wedding revelries. "Don Alonzo," who has been well night mortally wounded in the fight for his bride, vows a terrible vengeance upon her abductors. Later, believing "Julietta" unfaithful, he becomes the sworn enemy of the fair sex and uses them as his playthings, one after the other, when finally, learning the truth and clashing with the bandit IC THEATRE You St., near 14 RRY DAY at 3 p.m. Phone, North 7956 AND FINAL WEEK OF SUCCESS PICTURES" SUNDAY—August 29 BRAHAM LINCOLN" has never revealed a film as great!

THE HURRAH SEASON Church conferences and conventions will be over after another week, and the Hurrah Boys will have just enough time to get a little rest and to absorb the political dope that will be provided for them before the congressional campaign opens. By October first the spellbinders will be busy. Thanksgiving comes in November for most folks, but "dough day," that final settlement day for political heelers, comes on the Saturday before election. For that, the boys give whatever thanks they are capable of feeling. Incidentally, it is because the "hustlerati" all participate in dough-day festivities that they are without influence with local or national administrations thereafter. Political parties believe that a laborer is worthy of his hire; but they likewise believe that when once paid he is paid, whether it be in the coin of the realm or in the better currency of fair consideration in the matter of civil rights, consideration before the law and appointment to office. Colored politicians, or alleged politicians, get paid too soon and too little for them ever to be an asset to their people unless the wage scale is elevated greatly. It may take a strike on the part of the people to effect the raise. CLOSING TIME gard for quitting time, have oft. been instrumental in retarding the progress of business, especially among Negroes. An example of the precise importance of "closing time" with a young Negro business man was disclosed last week when the owner of a U Street barber shop informed a customer about to enter: "It is too late. We close at eight o'clock." A look at the watch revealed that it yet lacked ten minutes to eight, whereupon the ambitious (to close) owner handed out the information that it would be eight by the time the customers now occupying the chairs had been finished with. Consistent regard for anything brings its just reward. Trying hard enough and often enough to close will eventually bring about the desired end as it does in all cases. A business is presumably opened to make money. Of course, if it is opened just to close, that too, may be accomplished. Such business men usually close for good, sooner or later. Man gets what he strives for. TEXAS DIGNITY Austin, Tex., Aug. 18 (By A.P.)—If men passengers on Texas railroads wish to ride in their stocking feet, they may do so without interference from the Texas railroad commission. The commission today declined to act on a petition signed by a woman demanding a rule that JAMES WELDON GARLAND ELECTED PRESIDENT OF GARLAND FUND New York, Aug. 24—At a regular meeting, several days ago, the American Fund for Public Service, (known as the Garland Fund in honor of its donor), James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was elected president, it was announced today. The Garland Fund made an initial gift of $5,000 to the Legal Defense Fund raised by the N.A.A.C.P. and further gifts upward of $21,000 as the N.A.A.C.P., met its offers. Mr. Johnson has for several years been one of the board administering the Garland Fund, other officers being: Clinton Golden, vice-president; Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, secretary; Morris Ernst, treasurer; Lewis Gannett, assistant treasurer; Robert W. Dunn, Ben Gittow, Roger Baldwin, Norman Thomas, H. H. Bronch, Frieda Kirchwey, William Z. Foster and Professor Scott Nearing. With the exception of Mr. Johnson, all of the members of the board are white persons, as is the donor of the fund. NEGRO CLUB WOMEN VISIT UNIVERSAL CITY STUDIO Universal City, Calif., Aug. 24, (Pacific Coast News Bureau, exclusive dispatch)—A decided treat for four high officers of the National Association of Colored Women was a recent visit to the Universal Motion Picture Studio. They were guests on the set of the "Sensation Seekers" which is being directed by Lois Weber and in which Caroline Snowden and her revue were featured in the opening scenes. The members of the party were: Elizabeth Davis, historian of the association; Minnie A. Collins, founder of the Phyllis Wheatley Home for Girls in Chicago; Fannie Morgan Perkins, chairman of the financial committee of the Wheatley Home and Julia Lindsay Gibson, founder of the community center, Peoria, Ill. --- Washington, D.C., by PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc.

The foregoing is an exact reprint of an Associated Press story that is perhaps as revealing as news can be of the degree of culture, (or may we say civilization?) that prevails in a state that boasts of having the most rigid transportation laws prevailing in the country with reference to segregating the races while traveling. The fact that the uncouth practice of removing the shoes should rise to the dignity of judicial consideration, gives an excellent slant upon the mental calibre of the citizenship of the people concerned. No doubt many of the colored citizens of Texas are habituated to the undignified procedure of giving the feet a bit of air while riding on the cars; but they may be forgiven as following the general practice set by the "superior race." The fact remains, however, that Texas seems to be in need of considerable education along several lines before it is safe for democracy, or sanitary for democrats. However, 'there is hope. VIRGINIA HAS ANOTHER LYNCHING After more than a year of freedom from manifestations of the lynch-law spirit, Virginia history was again killed by a lynching. This time it was at Wytheville, in WYthe County, about seventy miles west of Roanoke. On August 15, about fifty masked men "stormed" the county jail, "overpowered" the guard in charge and lynched Raymond Bird, aged 31, who was in jail charged with having made a criminal attack upon the 19-year-old daughter of his employer on a farm nearby. The attack was alleged to have been made about three months ago, though the girl is said to have confessed very recently, and the man was arrested about ten days ago. Reports are to the effect that fear of the man compelled silence on the part of the girl. As usual, the coroner's jury is unable to learn who it was that almost shot the head off of the man and then carried him twelve miles away to hang him from a tree near the scene of his alleged crime. How the color line does fade out in the time of human distress!! In war, at time when floods prevail; during the adjustment period after a fire, in fact anytime when there is genuine anxiety that searches deep into humanity. Whittimore, the Baltimore murderer hanged a week since was just like the others of his vaunted race. His last recourse was to the skill of a Negro lawyer. It availed him not, but, anyhow, he had the chance. How real dangers temper the prejudice of the American white man. VIRGINIA SENTIMENT REACTS AGAINST LYNCHING Continued from page (1) stances those charged with the safe-keeping of their prisoners have fulfilled their obligations to the State. The editorial concludes: "Iresponsible mobs must not be allowed to think they can enter a Virginia jail and set Virginia laws at naught with impunity. If they erroneously suppose they can do so and 'get away with it' they must be taught otherwise in a stern and impressive fashion." The Roanoke Times recalls that lynchings in Virginia have been few, but states, with the Lynchburg News, that it is not enough to point to that fact, and that "the reign of lynch law must be stamped out entirely if the Commonwealth is to take its rightful place among those States where the law is supreme and life and property are safe." Lynching in Virginia can be prevented, declares the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, which vigorously calls for action in the present case. The mob was masked, it says, but holds that "It is inconceivable that so large a number of persons could engage in a criminal enterprise without leaving some traces by which at least a few of them might be identified." FEDERATED WOMEN'S CLUBS INDORSE PULLMAN PORTERS UNION Oakland, Cal.—The National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs passed a resolution indorsing the organization of the Pullman Porters Union at their annual session in this city. Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, in an address, unqualifiedly indorsed the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The resolutions adopted were as strongly worded as were those passed by the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of the state of New York a week earlier. The National Urban League has likewise indorsed the movement. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams E. H. DROOP ON PAUL ROBESON AND THE SPIRITIALS AND THE SPIRITUALS Edward H. Droop, one of our best known music merchants and an outstanding citizen, recently wrote a public statement concerning Paul Robeson, bass singer, and the Negro "Spirituals." It is the most striking public expression about Negro art and music in the local white press it has been our privilege to read, so much so that we are republishing for our readers, as follows: Paul Robeson "The most artistic and the foremost bass singer of the Negro Race is Paul Robeson. . . A voice of rare musical quality, of a 'depth' that makes the blood tingle, of a 'richness' that has few equals! All of which lend themselves incomparably to the interpretation and singing of these old 'classics' of his race." Negro "Spirituals" "... I desire to express what I feel about this wonderful music of the Negro. "Many of these melodies are unquestionably of ancient tribal origin and were brought to this country more than three hundred years ago by those poor beings who, torn from their homes, were sold into slavery. Hearing them, you will find that many are expressive of deep sadness and suffering; rarely do they express worldly happiness or joy. "Added to and taken from as time went on, they gradually became a fountain of hope and consolation, always expressing the Negroes' faith in God and belief in immortality. "The old' Negro of fifty to one hundred years ago had a 'spiritual complex' that passes modern understanding; with all honor, he clung reverently to 'de word o' God' as expounded to him by his spiritual advisers. "These 'Negro Spirituals' will remain forever as 'classics' of the purest Negro 'blood' that ever found lodgment within our shores. They are soul-stirring as the cry of Rachael. "I recommend these songs to all lovers of emotional, uplifting, spiritual Music." This remarkable expression comes from the pen of one of the fairest minded white men in Washington today; proven by contact and association both in business and profession with those of color. Mr. Droop, so far as we know, has never refused to aid any worthy musical enterprise brought to his attention. He gave the late "Artist Course Series" promoted by our race, the utmost encouragement and support and personally praised the race artists who appeared here. In numerous other ways, he has aided local music teachers in their annual recitals by pupils. Such white citizens as Mr. Droop are indeed worthy of our racial respect and goodwill. BACKGROUND FOR NEGRO MUSIC "If Harling, Gershwin and others writing jazz operas and jazz symphonies can develop the background for Negro life that Cadman has for his Indian music, perhaps they can hand down to future generations music that will be held in the same respect as the works of the great masters of generations passed." Thus writes Howard Bailey, commenting on W. Franke Harling's new creation, "Deep River." It is set in the South, and is built about Negro melodies varying from the jazzy type to the deep spiritual music for which the race is famous. One of the sensations of the past season of the Chicago Opera Company was the opera, "A Light From St. Agnes," and "Deep River" will be the author's second jazz opera presentation, opening in Philadelphia on September 20 and in New York on October 4. It is worth passing notice to note the national trend for sometime towards Negro melodies as indicating a deeper regard for its place in the realm of musical art. DRAMATIC READER ESTABLISHES REPUTATION AT HOWARD UNIVER- Mrs. Essie Queen Love, assisted by a group of vocal solists, presented a program of dramatic readings and character sketches in the library of Howard University on Thursday evening, August 12, that very definitely established the young woman in the esteem of the university authorities as an artist. A comparatively small though enthusiastic audience witnessed the performance, but they have reported upon the work witnessed with such unanimous favor that a repetition would undoubtedly fill a larger hall. Lincoln Harris, the veteran playwright, was among those present, and his comment was as comprehensive as could be. He said: "I want that woman in the next race drama I present. She deserves her chance in a real show. She is a genuine artist." Her offering consisted of a half dozen numbers by Paul Lawrence Dunbar with some humorous, classic and dramatic readings from Rio Cooper Megru and Maurice Level. The Misses Fannie Ross, Callie Dill, Lillian Poindexter and Mamie Holden gave variety to the program with vocal numbers that were of unusual merit. Miss Thelda Bell and Miss Thelma Scott acted as mistress of ceremonies and hostess respectively. YOUNG MEN'S CLUB MEETS The Young Men's Club held its regular meeting on Thursday evening, at the residence of its business manager, J. M. Jackson, 629 Fairmont Street, Northwest. During the absence of the president, J. H. Cole, vice-president Robert Eldridge, presided. The members outlined a large program for the coming winter. They intend to stage debates.
