Former Asst. U.S. Attorney-General Out for Hoover PROMINENT PHYSICIAN SAYS WIFE BEAT HIM FROM OL' VIRGINNY W.H.LEWIS BACK IN REPUBLICAN FOLD AFTER BOLT Boston Lawyer and Former Assistant Attorney General Returns to G.O.P., He Announces TO SUPPORT HOOVER William H. Lewis of Boston, former Assistant Attorney General under President Taft, and one of the outstanding lawyers among the colored race, to-day declared himself for Herbert Hoover for President. Mr. Lewis' declaration followed a visit with Mr. Hoover at the Massachusetts avenue headquarters. Mr. Lewis later paid a brief visit to Chairman Hubert Work at Republican National Headquarters, and also talked with Walter H. Brown and other leaders in the campaign. Interests Lie with Hoover Mr. Lewis said: "Having gone off the reservation four years ago, many of my life-long Republican friends have urged me to come back to the fold. Accordingly, an interview was arranged for me with Mr. Hoover, the Republican candidate. "After a very lengthy interview with Mr. Hoover, I am satisfied that the interests of the colored American lie with the Republican nominee. "Mr. Hoover is a man of broad and catholic sympathies. His experience in dealing with men of all colors and racial extracts, renders him truly cosmopolitan. He realizes that our country is made up of many racial groups. He proposes to deal with the colored groups just as he does with all other Americans. Not a Bolter "I feel certain that we shall get a square deal with Mr. Hoover. I am satisfied. I am going to take a chance with Hoover." "In going back to my party, I (Continued on page 4) G. O. P. NERVOUS AS COAST STATE NEGROES WAVER G. O. P. NERVOUS AS COAST STATE NEGROES WAVER MAY SAVE NEW JERSEY Defection in the ranks of colored voters in four Atlantic seaboard states were reported to Republican headquarters here by campaign workers who were sent into them to canvass the situation. These states are Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Jersey. They have a total of 44 electoral votes and may determine the Presidential election. While defection exists to a great extent, Republican party managers at headquarters were told, recalcitrant colored Republicans would probably be regular and able to align their personal views with those of the party by November 6. New Jersey Man Go To Hoover The view was expressed that the colored vote in New Jersey would go to Hoover. But at present there is considerable unessiness about the situation in that state. Daniel E. Pomeroy, vice chairman of the Republican national committee; Hamilton F. Kean, the Republican nominee for United States Senator, and Senator Walter E. Edge are working toward satisfying colored voters and bringing them around to the support of the Hoover-Curtis ticket. Oliver Randolph, the Rev. William A. Byrd and George E. Bates, all of Newark, are working with them. Two young girls, Ida Mae Newman, 14, of 326 L street, southeast, and Esther Cummins, 15, of 917 Fourth street, southeast, and one man, Theodore Dickens, 31, 627 K street, southeast, were injured. Sunday when the automobile in which they were riding ran into a tree in Massachusetts avenue, northeast, between First and Second streets. Linwood Dudley, 24, 211 I street, southeast, the driver of the car, escaped without injury. Dudley told police of the Ninth street that he swerved his automobile to avoid colliding with an officer machine, and his car mounted the carb and struck the tree. The injured were treated at Casualty Hospital by Dr. J. Rogers Young. The conditions of none of them were considered serious. THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. FIRST ST., S. E. IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE tVol. VIII. No. 18 PROMINE FOU ONE IS KILLED AS AUTO PLUNGES OVER BANK Steering Gear Locks on Dangerous Curve, Man Hurled to Death TWO OTHERS HURT A steering-wheel locking device, for the second time in three weeks, spelt disaster for a capital motorist, Sunday, Leroy Whittington, 417 L street north-west, was killed instantly when the automobile in which he was riding en route to Shady Side, Md., failed to make a turn and ran over an embankment just south of Churehton. William Forbes, 1242 Duncan street, northeast, the driver of the car, and Charles Whittington, brother of the dead man who war also in the automobile, both escaped with minor injuries. According to the testimony at the inquest, held at Churchton, Monday, the steering wheel of the automobile locked, and the driver, as in the case where three white motorists were drowned when the car in which they were riding plunged over the sea wall at Hains Point early this month, was too surprised to act quickly enough. Consequently the occupants of the automobile were carried down the embankment, one of them to his death. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death, thereby absolving Forbes of all blame. WOULDN'T SELL GIN; HUSBAND BEAT HER SAYS WIFE Mrs. Hazel Queen Files Suit Against Spouse Who Abused Her NAMES OTHER WOMAN Mrs. Hazel Queen, 533 Florida avenue, northwest, last Friday, asked the District Supreme Court to grant her an absolute divorce from Richard Queen, 816 E street northwest. She named Mrs. Myrle Ross Alexander, a Government Printing Office employee, as the correspondent. Besides misconducting himself with the correspondent, Mrs. Queen charges that her husband gambled and sold whiskey in their home. She also charges that he tried to make her stay home and sell it for him, and when she refused he became abusive and beat her. Went to Dances In last May her husband began keeping company with the correspondent, Mrs. Queen alleges. He would often telephone Mrs. Alexander and take her to parties and dances, leaving her at home, the wife says, and whenever she spoke to him about it, he would become abusive. Mrs. Queen alleges that her husband and the correspondent misconducted themselves at the Maryland Courts where he is employed, September 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and at other places and at other times in the District of Columbia and at Vista, Maryland. The couple were married April 21, 1024. Attorney Charles E Robinson represents Mrs. Queen. WE BEG Washington Tribune A RALPH MATTHEWS AN EDITORIAL THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS opened to their classes here.

Watson, 404 M street, northwest, in answer to the divorce bill of Mrs. Mabel Watson, filed last week, in which she charges cruelty. The divorce action is the outgrowth of domestic difficulties which were first brought to light when the physician is alleged to have kidnapped his wife and had her confined in the Gallinger Hospital for the Insane, while taking her for a ride one night. Mrs. Watson charges that her husband has been cruel, has been constantly in the company of other women, and refuses to provide for her support, causing her to live on the charity of friends. She asked for $100 monthly alimony for herself and one child, Pearl Alexander Watson.

MOTHER OF 2HELD IN MURDER OF SWEETHEART Lover Who Objected to Joy Ride with Another is Slain in Quarrel CHILD SOBS STORY The tearful testimony of a twelve-year-old daughter, at a coroner's inquest, Monday, failed in its attempt to exonerate Sadie Hatton, the mother, in the shooting to death, last Sunday night, of Joseph M. Miles, during an altercation at 217 Virginia avenue, southwest. Miles died at Casualty Hospital six hours after he was shot twice at the Virginia avenue address, where Mrs. Hatton lived. Little Myrtle Viola Hatton, the last witness, related amid tears and sobs, how she had seen Miles enter the room of her mother, had seen him cuff her about, and finally throw her mother on the bed and severely beat her. She told how she ran from the house and to a nearby grocery and called for police aid. Heard Fight The story of the child agreed, in every detail, with that of Grace Edwards, another eyewitness. Miss Edwards declared that Miles was in the act of beating Mrs. Hatton when she, aroused by a scuffle in the room next hers, entered Mrs. Hatton's room to investigate. Police Hear Shots Police of the Fifth precinct testified that their wagon arrived at the house just as the first report and flash of the revolver, held by Mrs. Hatton, was fired. The officers came upon the scene even as the scuffle was in progress between the two. They declared that they separated the man and woman shortly after the second bullet had been sent into Miles' body.

PRICE FIVE CENTS $500,000 Plant Dedicated Last Spring Best Equipped in Country for Negro Students According to announcement made to the press by President Mordecai W. Johnson, of Howard University, the 1928-29 school year will begin on October 1. New impetus has been added to the work in the School of Medicine and allied branches by the acquisition of the new medical building and equipment which was dedicated, before the close of school last year. It was erected at a cost of $500,000. Old Buildings Renovated The new building facilities will be available during the coming terms not only to medical students, but to the students of dentistry and pharmacy as well. The latter departments of the university long worked under a severe handicap imposed by lack of proper room. They were housed in an old army barracks, with limited space for equipment and student usage. Many New Students During the past year these facilities have attracted many more clinical patients. There is a children's clinic, serving the neighboring public schools, in which 2,161 children received attention last year. Clinics also are conducted for the Board of Charity and the District Board of Public Welfare. These, together with private patients, provide ample practice work for students of the senior, junior and sophomore classes. 21,755 Children Report to Classes as Fall School Term Opened Monday Compare Exelento products with any other 25c seller and you will join the thousands of other satisfied users.

Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools, this week. These pupils are distributed as follows: Miner Normal School, 441; Armstrong high, 1,020; Dunbar high, 1,417; Cardozo high, 202; Francis Junior high, 746; Randall junior high, 678; Shaw junior high, 1,083; Phelps Vocational, 190; Margaret Murray Washington Vocational, 150; division 10, 5,276; division 11, 2,860; division 12, 234; and division 13, 7,503. Too Many Absent Mr. Wilkinson advanced a number of reasons for the absence of approximately 3,000 pupils from school on the opening day. He believes that too many children are remaining out of school at the beginning of the school year. He is bringing this matter, he said, to the attention of school officials for the purpose of having a close study made of it to determine the causes and remedy the situation. Schools Changed The Shaw junior high school was transferred to the old McKinley Manual School building at Seventh street and Rhode Island avenue, the McKinley High school moving into its new building. The Margaret Murray Washington Vocational school for girls is temporarily housed in the Abbey-Simmons building on Pierce place between First street and New Jersey avenue, northwest.

LOUIS POST Otto Leland Bohanan Appointed Otto Leland Bohannan stopped over to visit his family last week. He was en route from New York City to St. Louis, Mo., where he has accepted a position in the Department of Music in the public schools. Mr. Robanan is the son of Addison L. Bohanan, of 1104 Howard avenue, Anacostia, D.C., and is a product of the city schools, graduating from the old M Street High School in 1910, and Howard University in 1914. Since that time he has been studying voice culture under private tutors in New York City, where he also conducted a studio for vocal study. February, 1928, he received the Master of Arts degree from Columbia University and a diploma for Supervisor of Public School Music. He was elected to membership in the Kappa Delta Pi Honorary Educational Fraternity, a THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1928 graduate fraternity which admits only those who have distinguished themselves in their particular work.

Mr. Bohanan is now working for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music, having passed the matriculation examination with honors. Y.W.C.A. GIRLS DISTRESSED FOLKS The Residence Committee held its first meeting of the fall on September 7. Among the interesting subjects discussed was that of a young man and his wife who had walked from New York and were on their way to Columbus, Ohio. They were without funds, and the wife was blind in one eye and deaf. While the man slept at the Salvation Army home, the "Y" kept the woman for two nights, and furnished her and her husband with food. "Y" friends gave the girl clothing, and sent them on their way in good condition. Another case was that of a mother and a young baby who had come to the city and had no place to go. The "Y" does not ordinarily take babies, but this one was allowed to remain until the house secretary, Mrs. McRae, could find a satisfactory home for them. Such incidents go to show that the one aim of the Y.W.C.A. is service. Girl Reserve News The final details of camp breaking were executed last week and "Pine Bluff" was snugly closed up for the winter. Tuesday, a large number of the campers met at the "Y" for a get-together. The girls brought lunches and hiked to Rock Creek Park. Miss Ruff and Miss Washington, accompanied by Miss S. B. Greene, sponsored the outing. There will be a meeting of graded school girls, Monday, September 17, at the "Y". All graded school girls who belong, who have belonged or who are interested in belonging to the "Y" are invited to come. All high school clubs will hold an opening meeting on September 18, at 3:30. Come and bring your friends. MISS BROOKS BACK FROM EUROPEAN TOUR Miss Julia E. Brooks, Dean of Girls at Dunbar High School, returned to the States on the steamer Majestic, Tuesday, September 11. Miss Brooks spent two months in France and England, being the guest of her sister, Mrs. Antoinette Mitchell, in Paris. In England, Miss Brooks visited Wells Cathedral, Gladstoneberry Abbey, Salisbury Cathedral, and places of historical interest in and about London. In Somerset, England, she was the guest of the granddaughter of John Bright. Here she had the opportunity of observing a novel school system in operation. Most interesting in this system, according to Miss Brooks, were the opin-air school for infants from 5 to 7 years of age, and the continuation school. Somerset is a factory district and the poorer children do not attend school beyond the lower grades, except when they are exceptionally brilliant. The Norman's Memorial Boys' Club reopened Friday, September 7, 1928, at Metropolitan Baptist Church after a long vacation. Beauty actions actresses, society n and men have preparations.

Miller (white), for many years, Carolyn Lewis, of this city, filed suit for the title to the estate of more than 1,000 acres of land, of which Dr. Miller is reputed to have been the owner. Louis Miller, nearest kin of the deceased doctor, and several other relatives the reputed heirs, were named as the defendants. Dr. Miller died owing land in Patyette, Madison and Jessamine Counties. A will which he left was declared invalid. Dr. Miller, a former political leader and a graduate of Johns-Hopkins and Hiedelberg Universities, died several months ago after a period in which for a time he was said to have been "missing" in Indiana. He had been noted for various eccentricities and when his body was brought to Lexington a clash developed between relatives for its possession. The plaintiff declares that Dr. Miller had on numerous occasions, promised to convey his land to her, but that he died before the deeds could be executed.

Little did President L. K. Williams, of Chicago, suspect that Democrat emissaries were working in the ranks of his organization until he discovered what was characterized as a "gum shoe" method of obtaining the endorsement of Baptist ministers for the Al Smith ticket. When the real purpose of the Democratic emissaries was brought to the attention of Dr. Williams and other leaders of the convention, a resolution was presented to drive out the Smith workers and another resolution which read: "Resolved, That in the opinion of the convention it is not safe to place the reins of government in the hands of any person who lightly esteems the Constitution, the fundamental law of the land, conceived in the wisdom of the founders of this Republic and enlarged and strengthened by very important amendments held and regarded as essential to the freedom and well-being of all citizens of the country." MINISTER BEATEN BY HOODLUMS ATHENS, Tenn.—Rev. Thomas Lungsford, a Holiness preacher, and his brother, Henry Lungsford, were set upon by a group of intoxicated men here Monday, when they sought to rent a house, and severely beaten and cut, according to the explanation they gave policemen when they turned up at the police headquarters swathed in bandages. A subsequent investigation led to the arrest of Robert Keith, who was identified as one of the assailants.

And to prove that the death of a gent. Miller declared, on numer this possession that would serve that when he presented them to the treatment of Negro boxers is untimelyy, to say the least best friends in the boxing g The American Negro's prizefighting industry suffered a severe blow with the death, apparently at his own hands, of Walk Miller, nationally known as the manager of the stable of "fighters who fight." Miller, probably one of the best known managers in the realm of pugilism, was the discoverer, handler and best friend of the late Theodore (Tiger) Flowers, former middle and light heavyweight champion of the world. The finding of Miller, dead on his camp site at Kingston, N.Y., Sunday, by Jess McMahon, former New York promoter, brought to a close the life of a Nordic, whom the Negro race through the immortal Georgia Deacon, had won as friend and admirer. Miller's stable of fighters, which made famous the slogan "fighters who fight," included more Negro boxers than that of any other leading prizefight manager in the country. Bob Lawson, Sunny Jim Williams, and Al Brown are the most outstanding and best known of his colored string. Miller, on numerous occasions, admitted that he owed the greater portion of his success to a Negro fighter. Whenever there was a question as to whether he made Flowers the fighter he was or whether Flowers made him, Miller, the manager he was, Miller almost always settled the query with "The Deacon and I made each other." And so it was. Had it not been for Miller, Flowers would never have been discovered so that he could climb to the heights he reached, and if there had been no Georgia Deacon to be discovered it is doubtful that Walk Miller would have ever been the nationally known figure he was. The story of Flowers' discovery and the beginning of a staunch friendship between Miller and the former champion dates back several years. It was something like six or seven years ago, that Miller, then operating in the south, matched a Negro middleweight, Billy Hooper, by name, with Flowers. Hooper was under the management of an Atlanta, Ga., billiard parlor proprietor, and Flowers was a slightly known novice boxing under the name of Theodore Flowers. Hooper fought the novice and the novice beat him. His pride thus injured the middleweight begged Miller for another chance to meet Flowers that he might "mop him up." Miller again matched the two boxers, but this time instead of whipping the novice, Hooper suffered an even worse beating than the first. Immediately after the second victory over Hooper, an agreement was reached between Flowers and Miller whereby the former was to become Miller's club-room porter and fight on the side. It was a lifetime contract. From that time on, a friendship existed between the two which is seldom, if ever, paralleled by two men of two distinct races. When Flowers died last November, as the result of an operation on his eye, Miller became frantic. He is said to have cried out on a Broadway corner the night of the Tiger's death, "They have killed my CHAMPION. I knew they would do it. Now they've DONE it." When asked the meaning of these statements, Miller declared that since the rise of Flowers to pugilistic heights, a certain clique in the ring racket had toiled incessantly to mar the record of the invincible Flowers. Miller pointed to the Chicago fight when Flowers was deliberately robbed of the decision over Mickey Walker, and declared it was a "frame-up" and the work of a ring of gamblers and gunmen. Publicly he swore vengeance on what he called "The Ring," and then went so far as to gather affidavits in an attempt to prove that he and his fighter had been victims of "The Ring." Later Miller openly alleged and attempted to prove that the death of the Deacon was not altogether an accident. Miller declared, on numerous occasions, that he had affidavits in his possession that would serve to break up the boxing "ring," and that when he presented them they would expose much in regard to the treatment of Negro boxers throughout the country. The death of Miller is untimelyy, to say the least, and the Negro race has lost one of its best friends in the boxing game. What promises to be the most outstanding contest of the 1928 Tribune League baseball season will take place on the Monument Grounds Diamond number 8. Sunday. The league leading Hillsdale A.C. baseball team will meet the second place Anacostia Athletics in what may prove to be the deciding issue of the Class A pennant chase. Each of these teams has a victory over the other. Each also has two wins over the Arlington Athletics, three placers, themselves not to be considered out of the running. The Arlington nine, on the other hand, has successfully turned both of these back on one occasion. With Stewart and Berry at the top of their forms, the Anacostians are fully confident that they will be able to knock the chesty Hillsdale clan from its lofty perch. The league leaders, on the other hand, feel safe with Lynn, their ace in the hole, and Jakie Levie, curve ball artist, "ready and rarin'" to work. As this game grows in importance as the day draws nigh, a crowd of at least 1,500 Tribune league fans is expected to witness the proceedings. POTOMAC PRESIDENT RECOV ERING FROM ILLNESS William E.

ISADOR MILLER MANUFACTURING FURRIER 809 11th STREET, N.W. Phone, Main 5628 --- --- By the Sports Editor The return of Dennis Simpson, star end, and Harry Webb, guard, of the famous 1926 Bison eleven, and of Captain "Hoss" Ross, Jack Coles, Dan Brown, "Li'l Crow" Hawkins, Fats Hall, "Big Crow" Rainey and Joe Drew, of last year's team marked the first week of the training grind for the Howard University gridders. Beginning with twenty men, last Saturday, most of them recruits from high and preparatory schools, Coach Charlie West launched on a campaign preliminary to making his debut in the role of a gridiron mentor, which is to take place exactly two weeks from tomorrow (Saturday). The new coach finds himself facing the task of almost completely remoulding a line. Only Webb, Hall, Rainey and Hawkins remain as a nucleus around which West might hope to build a wall. Of this quartet, however, only Hawkins and Rainey have played together with any consistency. Dr. West named, as his assistants, two former players who finished their careers as Bison linesmen, last year. Milfred "Biff" Martin, 1927 captain, and Robert "Bobo" Miller, both of them all-American selections during their terms as Howard gridmen, are in charge of the tutoring of the line candidates. The Blue and white might well be expected to present a combination of backs which should be capable of living up to the reputation established the past three years by their stellar array of ball-carriers. In addition to Coles, Ross and Brown, all too well known to describe, the Bison mentor finds a dearth of backfield material which will keep him from turning the bald spot gray. Besides Wallace Thorne, Armstrong graduate, who was one of the leading backs of the 1927 intercholastic season, West has a superb passer in the person of Billy Marshall, New Jersey high school lad. Boyd, last year the understudy for Tick Smith, is also back in harness, and with the reporting of Jack Young, who is already in town, next week, it appears as if the Bisons have little to worry over in so far as their backfield is concerned. In establishing an open running offense, as it appears West intends doing, the coach will use every advantage he has in the way of speed. None of the ball-carriers mentioned here can be called actually slow of hoof, hence the apparent West style of play should prove best suited for the offense of the 1928 edition of the Howard University football team VIRGINIA SEMINARY ISSUES GRID CALL On September 29, Virginia Seminary meets North Carolina College, at Lynchburg, Va. On October 6, Seminary meets Hampton Institute at Hampton, Va. Several valuable men leave the team this year because their time is out. They are: Walker, Tucker, Jeffries, Scott, Moore, and Jordan. The places of these men will be hard to fill. The men who are expected to report to start the hard grind this season are: Captain Red Fowler (All-American end), Red Davis, Rainey, Sim Henderson, Sedgwick Holland, Horton, Taylor, Smutty, Martin, Madison, Bell, Bates, Mule Womack, Hughes, Underdown, Royal, and a few more new men. Virginia Seminary has such teams as A.&T., Union, Virginia State College, Shaw, Bluefield, St. Paul, Hampton, and Lincoln University, to meet. QUALITY SERVICE THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY.

BLACK HORNETS Sheffield's Washington Black Sox broke even in their double-header with the crack Charlotte Black Hornets, last Sunday, at Union League baseball park, losing the first game, 4-2, and capturing the nightcap, 8-1, in 7 innings. Niekens, fast ball artist of the Slimenites, worked the opener and acquitted himself creditably. His dazzling fast ball sandwiched between a deceptive change of pace, kept the invaders guessing from start to finish, and had it not been for one bad inning, the fifth, he would have emerged with the victory in spite of poor support from his mates. Crossfire Bland toiled for the Sox in the second encounter, and backed by superb pinch batting had little difficulty taking the verdict. Four hits were all the Washington team was able to garner in the first contest, and they were kept so well scattered by Coleman, the opposing hurler, that they would have been, were it not for some skilful base running, of little use to the locals' cause. # FIRST GAME Orientals Hartferds r h p h p h Richardson,lf 3 0 0 Hall,se 5 0 2 Davis,as 5 1 2 Collier,c 5 1 2 Greenfeld,c 4 0 1 Long,3b 4 0 1 Wash'ton,2b. 4 0 1crip,1b. 4 0 1 Hicks,if. 4 0 1Rush,cf. 5 1 1 Burges,1b. 4 1 2 Baucher,2b. 3 0 1 Lews,3b. 4 1 Slater,rf. 3 0 1 Adam,a.p. 4 0 0 Beewell,lf. 3 0 0 Adam,a.p. 4 0 0 Rush,fm.p. 3 0 0 Jarmon.1 2Barry. 1 1 1 Hans.1 1 1 1 to the loft Bland's his assort much in Carolina Hornets Lindsey,as. deDewall,3b. to Houston,lb. teckner,if.

The champion Oriental Tigers split their double header with the crack Hartford A.C.

Manager Mac Adams pitched the first game for the Oriental, and breezed along in fine style until the ninth, when he weakened, and the Hartfords, aided by three pinch hitters hopped on him for seven hits and five runs. Adams went into the ninth leading, 3 to 2. Van Landingham, Hartford ace, pitched a good game, letting the champions down with nine well-scattered hits. Adams was nicked for a total of fourteen hits. Red Powell was great in the second game, granting but four hits, and practically winning his own game by clutching a double with one on in the third inning.

Cal.-With the selection of the United States as host to the 1932 Olympic Games, it begins to appear that the Negro race will be represented by a woman track marvel. This feminine aspirant for athletic honors, which will bring credit to the race, is Miss Jessie Rayford, who reides with her parents on the west side. Jessie is the only daughter, a pretty girl devoted to athletic sports. She is very proficient student of Manual Arts High School, and in addition to her studies has gone in for track and field, to the extent that she is one of the best girl athletes in the city. Jessie drew a deal of attention last Decoration Day at the "Y.B.L.A." track meet when she won a medal for the broad jump with a leap of 15 feet, and doing the 100-yard dash in 12 seconds. She has frequently been close to equalling the world's record in various events in which she participated. She intends to devote her time till 1932 to perfection on the 100-yard dash and the broad jump. She is of a slender boyish build, possessing a world of energy and enthusiasm.

EIGHT MALE HAS LEADING ROLE J. Willis Cross Trips to Triumph in Musical Comedy Here Dance Trio Win Much Applause for Eccentrici- There are a number of things about "Syncapated Sue," playing at the Howard this week, you'll like. There are a few things you won't care so much about. Syncapated Sue is a sweet young lass with hair just between the auburn that makes women wild and the blonde that gentlemen prefer. Syncapated Sue has dainty twinkling feet upon which she dances feather like. She kicks high and points her toes, displaying dainty undies and laughs with a merry tinkle in her voice. She coos in a most moonlightish fashion, but alack and alas! when you see Syncapated Sue in her dressing room, back stage minus her blonde wig, you are surprised to learn that Syncapated Sue is not a she at all, but a he and her name—I mean his name is J. Willis Cross. Local Boys Star Perhaps you like being deceived like that. Perhaps to you such a perfect impersonation, which in all justice you must admit, is art. If you do, then J. Willis Cross is one of the things about Syncopated Sue you'll like. Going by the reception and applause of the audience and with no intention of just giving the home talent a break, the next best thing you'll find are three local dancing boys who really know their shoe-leather. They are Edward Morton, Wilbur Wallace and Joseph Sewell. A MUSICAL COCKTAIL WITH A KICK THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. A THEATR A THEATRE ted Sue' Perfe who got their first break at an amateur show here several weeks ago Girls Please Then there is Edna Taylor, who really knows how to wear clothes, and Malinda and Alberta, who can sing almost as well as they dance, which is unusual in a sister team. Genevieve Beckett, rightly called the nightingale, slips between the curtains and renders one of the most pleasing songs it's been my good fortune to hear in a month of Sundays and Zu Peck, the stout chorus girl on the end, fully earns her pay check when she leans up against the moulding and whistles an accompaniment. Chorus Peppy James Collins and Jimmy Robinson manage to squeeze out a bundle of laughs in spite of the fact that they haven't anything particularly funny to say. May Bell does something or other, but you'll like it because May Bell does it. Ralph Francho and Elmore Floyd are responsible for the book and lyrics. You'll like the lyrics; they are tuneful. The chorus works hard and the first nighters took more kindly to them than they do to most chorus girls. The Southern Pickaninny quartet added much to the show. "Syncopated Sue" has a little plot creeping through and the show is one of the cleanest that has played here in many moons. You'll find "Syncopated Sue" throughout a perfect lady.

Miller, veteran producer will open his new season when the "Merry Go Round," a revue of 40 people, opens September 10, at the Lafayette Theatre. The showman will place at least three shows on the road, he announced this week, and "Brownskin Models," the best known Miller show, now in its fourth edition, will be included in the entertainment melange. Ralph Francho, who wrote the lyrics for "Syncopated Sue," is only 19 years of age. He started on the stage two years ago. J. Willis Cross, who plays the leading role in the same production started on the stage with Lubery Hill's "Darktown Follies," in 1914, but has been off of the stage for four years during which time he conducted a window cleaning business in Harlem. He is playing his second week since his return. * * * * The Southern Pickaninnies have been singing together since they were little boys.

Composer Launches Project Alone When Producers Fail to Show Interest NEW YORK—"Voodoo," the first Negro grand opera to be presented here, had its premier at the Palm Garden, 306 West Fifty-second street, Monday night. The presentation is sponsored by Valdo Lawrence Freeman, son of H. Lawrence Freeman, the composer, and is scheduled to run at the Palm Garden only one week. New York critics are not enthused over the opera although it is said to have many good features in the musical scores. The settings are not pretentious enough to do credit to an offering that essays to command a place in this field of musical endeavor. Critics on the Variety Magazine, one of the leading theatrical journals of New York, go so far as to call the offering a curious theatrical abortion, but goes n to say: cal abortion, but goes on to say: abortive monstrosity of grand opera jazzaque, is none the less not without its interesting aspects. Those hardy students of the contemporary theatre in all its manifestations may find something of interest for them in this presentation." The presentation, which is admittedly a benefit for the composer to aid him in his work includes the following cast: William H. Holland, basso; Thomas T. Hall and Valdo Freeman, baritones; Carlotta Freeman, Doris Trotman and Rosetta Jones, sopranos; Ray Yates and Joseph Northern, tenors; and Marie Woodby, contralto with an alternate cast comprising Cordella Paterson, Rosetta Jones, Luther Lamont, Blanche Smith, John H. Eckles, Leo C. Evans, and Harold Bryant. ```markdown ``` The offering suffers from a lack of financial backing as the composer after two years of trying to interest parties in the undertaking presented the opera himself. Freeman is the only Negro listed in "The American Opera and It's Composers."

CAPITAL WON'T GET 'BLACKBIRDS' NEW YORK SAYS Advance Agents Here to Arrange Engagement, but Broadway Holds Show WILL CHANGE TH'ATRES Must Vacate Liberty to Make Way for "Mr. Moneypenny" Plans to bring "Blackbirds" of 1928 into the Howard Theatre, direct from its run at the Liberty Theatre, New York, will probably be cancelled. Broadway refuses to give the ebony fowl up. Agents for the show were in the city several weeks ago to arrange for an engagement here. When the show took the road, but when the ten weeks run at the Liberty nears its close to make way for Mr. Pollock's new attraction, "Mr. Moneypenny," which is scheduled to open next month, "Blackbirds" finds itself enjoying capacity houses at every performance and tickets being sold far in advance.

The show exceeded the notations of Lew Leslie, himself, I became one of the most popu-attractions on Broadway. The show will be forced to vate the Liberty, but not for the road. It will find another nesting place along the gay white way, where it will remain indefinitely. "Blackbirds" is conceded the greatest of all colored revues, Shuffle Along not excepted.
