Mrs. Hunt succumbed at her late residence 411 Florida avenue, and was buried from St. Luke's Episcopal Church Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Interment was in Harmony Cemetery. Mrs. Hunt is survived by her husband, James E. Hunt, and a daughter, Miss Eva Hunt. At Anniversary On May 15, 1927, Mrs. Hunt was one of the principal figures at the eighteenth celebration of the founding of Plymouth Church in Brooklyn from where she was sold to obtain her freedom in 1860. For 50 years she had kept the secret of her identity until she was persuaded by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, and now pastor of Plymouth Church, to attend the celebration.

Information to the effect that the arrests of the nine former employees followed a "frame-up" on the part of officials of the firm, led to an investigation. Five of the nine persons whose names were linked with the alleged thefts, expressed the opinion that the Dulin and Martin Co., preparing to enter their new building, mean to do so without the large number of Negro employees of which the organization has always boasted. Charges Frame-up Desirous of moving into the new quarters, now in the course of construction at Connecticut avenue and L street, northwest, with as few Negro workers as possible, the company, it is alleged, used the excuse that their colored employees were guilty of stealing, to cover up their discrimination. Most of the persons interviewed by Tribune reporters declared that the charges against them had been manufactured. Two of them, how- (Continued on page 5) Hard Hunt of time Succumbs JACK JOHNSON IS LINKED IN GRAFT Summoned as Witness CHICAGO—Jack Johnson, former champion heavyweight pugilist, was supoened as a witness to appear before the special investigating committee probing election graft and terrorism in which Oscar DePriest and Dan Jackson are now under indictment. The supoena was issued when a voluntary witness testified that he had been promised a place on the police force in return for financial contributions to the Democratic Campaign Fund. Sherdian A. Bruseax, Grand Jury investigator, declared that the witness had testified that he had handed Johnson a check for $100.

Suspecting that they were trying to bum a movie admission, she questioned them. They said they lived together, but under cross examination both gave different addresses. The lady seeing she was being tricked carried them to the Bandana Restaurant where they were forced to eat several sandwiches which proved such a task that they admitted that they had just finished their suppers. HOW'RD ENROUTE HOME FOR TRIAL Republican National Committeeman Visits Chicago Before Leaving for Mississippi Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, Monday, began the first lap of a journey which will probably take him to Jackson, Miss., to defend himself against charges of trafficking in Federal offices. He went from here to Chicago, where he will remain until election day. From Chicago he may go to Jackson, Miss. The hearing of all motions in the case against him is set for November 7. The trial of the case has been peremptory set for December 10. Four Others Indicted Mr. Howard is under indictment with Edward L. Patton, S. D. Redmond, A. M. Redmond, and Scott Hubbard, a white man. They are charged with conspiring to violate the Federal law against the sale and purchase of public offices. Want Cases Quashed The defendants are seeking to have the indictment quashed. One of their grounds is that there were no colored men on the panel from which the special grand jury was drawn. They claim that the grand (Continued on page 5) Tornado Leaves $3,000 Suit in its Wake ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The suit of Thomas E.

Four Others Indicted HOLD MARC'S GARVEY IN CANADA Provisional President of Africa Who Was Deported From U. S. Called Undesirable Alien ARRIVED SATURDAY MONTREAL, Canada. (Special—Marcus Garvey, self-styled Provisional President of Africa, who was recently deported from the United States, was placed under arrest. Wednesday night, shortly after his arrival here from Europe. Garvey was charged with being an undesirable alien. His aides were making strenuous appeals to Canadian authorities to gain temporary liberty for Garvey who was suddenly clapped into detention at the St. Antoine St., immigration bureau headquarters in Montreal, while hundreds of colored men and women awaited his appearance in Victoria Hall to tell them of the steps he had taken to bring the African colonization plan before the League of Nations. Arrested Leaving House As the audience was assembling and Garvey was attending a conference on Richmond Square, Detective Sergeant Bogli and Henry Squailard of the Dominion Immigration Bureau, were stationed outside the house. When he came out, they placed him under arrest. Hope, for Freedom Leslie G. Bell, Member of Parliament, addressed the audience in Victoria Hall and said the arrest was a complete surprise to him. He promised to do all he could to gain the leader's liberty and when the disappointed crowd had dispersed, he got in touch with the office of the Assistant Deputy Minister of Immigration at Ottowa. May Have Guard He was told that there was some chance that a guard would be assigned to accompany Garvey while he made his scheduled speeches and attended the affairs of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which he is president-general.

C.A., which has just completed a drive for $6,000, passed a test given by the Tribune when it provided accommodations for James Stewart, of Grattoes, Va., who was down and out, Tuesday night. Stewart, who was seeking food and shelter after riding a freight car from Philadelphia, complained that no Y.M.C.A. had any Christianity for the man in the street. He was asked to test the Twelfth Street Branch and report his reception. On Wednesday morning, he showed up smiling, rested and well fed. "They are O.K., editor," he said, "now I have to catch another freight for home." TENN. LEADER LOSES MOTHER Parent of Robert R.

WOMAN HELD FOR ACTION OF COURT WOMAN HELD FOR ACTION OF COURT Accomodates Visitor Who Dares Her To Shoot During Quarrel A coroner's jury, Monday, ordered Estelle Warren, 26 years old, of 451 Neale place, northwest, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the fatal shooting, early Sunday morning, of John T. Brown, 36, of the same address. The man died of a gunshot wound in the long following an argument and subsequent alteration at the Neale place address. According to the version given police by Estelle Warren, Brown and another woman, Shirley Taylor, who lives at the same house, got into an argument. As she is the occupant of the house, Miss Warren said, she interceded, and told Brown to leave the place. Several such requests on her part, Miss Warren declared, did nothing but further arouse the man's ire. She then, according to police, demanded that Brown get out, threatening to shoot. "Shoot and be damned," the man is alleged to have retorted. The woman did. Brown died in the patrol wagon of the Second Precinct, while on the way to Freedmen's Hospital. Recent Catastrophe at 14th and K Sts., in Which Two Died, Results in Edict The catastrophe which occurred last week at the corner of Fourteenth and K streets, northwest, in which two men lost their lives, resulted in the first anniversary celebration of the Past Noble Fathers Association, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, being barred from the new Masonic Temple building last Sunday afternoon. At the last moment word was received that the auditorium of the unfinished structure could not be used for meeting purposes. The meeting was then transferred to Odd Fellows Hall, with but few members in attendance. The main feature of the program was an anniversary sermon by Rev. Menoka, pastor of St. Paul A.M.E. Church. President Carmichael, founder of the association, presided. Visitation Postponed There will be no more meetings in the new Masonic Temple building at Tenth and U streets, northwest, until the structure is completed and ready for occupancy, according to information obtained at the Inspector of Buildings' Office. It is also learned that the Eastern Star visitations, which were to have taken place in the Eastern Star room during the latter part of this month, will be held instead at the Scottish Rite Hall on Eleventh street.

Prisoners Have Same Names as Local Detectives The age old trouble between the mother-in-law and husband was brought into Judge John P. McMahon's Police Court, Monday, and resulted in a victory for the former when a settlement for at least 30 days was affected in the event the son-in-law cannot furnish bond of $100. Albert Swain, arraigned on a charge of threats of personal violence against his mother-in-law, Mrs. Lucinda Brown, was the loser in the duel. This loss was due largely to the alliance between his wife and her mother. The wife, Mrs. Lizzie Swain, corroborated the story of her mother which averred that Swain threatened to beat Mrs. Brown. WOMAN FALLS DOWN STAIRS Falling down a flight of stairs at her home, 39 O street southwest, last Sunday morning, Gertie Burnette, 28 years old, received lacerations of the upper lip and was treated at Freedmen's Hospital. Prisoners Have as Local WATCH THANKSGIVING LIQUOR Prohibition Enforcement Agents, throughout the country, have been warned to watch for the illicit use of wood alcohol during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Prohibition Commissioner J. M. Doran issued an order calling for a very rigid check on the substance offering as explanation for the precaution the large number of deaths which occurred at the same period of the year in 1927. HAVE YOU MET MAGGIE? No? Well look inside of this issue quick and examine the Magazine supplement to the Washington Tribune d Sister Immediate amputation of the right arm was found necessary Saturday when George Coates, 330 K street, southwest, slipped while feeding a sausage grinder at a local packing concern, and had that member badly mangled. Dr. I. Rutoski of the Emergency Hospital staff was forced to perform an emergency operation before removing him to the hospital, where the remainder of his arm was immediately amputated. Fellow employees said Coates' foot slipped as he started to operate the machine and he lurched forward. His right arm was caught in the fast moving blade and he did not succeed in wrenching it free until the arm had been crushed up to the elbow. DR. SCOTT IN CHICAGO Dr. Emr J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, of Howard University, attended the meeting of the National Council of the Young Men's Christian Association in Chicago, Ill., last week. Dr. Scott was recently a member of the council. e Same Names Detectives Tom Jackson and Paul Jones Arrested on Same Day Here Namesakes of two well known figures in police circles, were arrested on the same day at the Fourth Police Precinct, this week. Tom Jackson and Paul Jones will be found booked at the station house for violations against the District code. Both these names are familiar to local police in view of the fact that a Tom Jackson was recently retired as detective sergeant at the Central Bureau, and because Paul Jones is on the roll of sleuths at present. Jackson, a huckster, living at 328 F street, southwest, was arrested by Motorcycle Patrolman W. J. Cunningham for operating a motor vehicle without a permit. Jones was arrested by Officer R. M. Teates on charges of being drunk and disorderly. The latter lives at 104 E street, southwest. "Y" GIRLS PLAN PARTY A party is being given by the staff of the K street Y.W.C.A. this week for the staff members of the Richmond and Baltinore Associations. The occasion will offer opportunity for fellowship between the members of the respective staffs and also for becoming familiar with the work of the Y.W.C.A.'s in three cities. The staff of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. will share the responsibilities as hostess to the visitors as well as the pleasures of the festivities of the evening. LOOKING 'EM OVER WITH ACY SPORTS EDITOR The Blue and White following had exactly four opportunities to give vent to the "Old Howard Spirit," and yell, during the game last Saturday. Although the doughty Yellow Jackets did their darndest to prevent even a faint exclamation from the local audience, Simpson made his long end run, the Bison cheering section could yell. When Jack Young came back on the next play and duplicated Simpson's feat, the Howardites again gave a speel. Ross went over for the only Howard University touchdown and afforded his team's supporters their third chance to cheer. The longest and loudest cheer to emit from the west stands of the stadium, however, was for the Bisons' incapacitated fullback. When Dan Brown sitting in a roll-chair was pushed down the sidelines, during the intermission between halves he was accompanied by a thunderous greeting. With Bill Branch, stellar Yellow Jacket fullback, out of the game with a fractured leg, the West Virginia and Howard teams had at least one thing in common—the loss of great ball-carriers. Stew had the apparently self-possessed medical students cannot find some other form of recreation than parading themselves in the greatly segregated, but more greatly advertised, body they form while the real honest-to-goodness supporters of the Howard football team are in their enthusiasm gatherings for the benefit of the warriors. "You yell for them to get busted noses and sprained ears, then send 'em to us so we can experiment." Somebody mentioned the fact the other day that Howard students are Howard students regardless of whether they are studying to be doctors, lawyers, or Pullman porters. Assailing Charles Donehy, the field judge in last Saturday's game for a foul he called on the home boys at a crucial moment was entirely out of the question. Donehy saw Marshall foul a West Virginia player who was attempting to catch a forward pass, and so did the author of this column, who was less than 25 feet from the spot where the foul was committed. Donehy called the foul and a penalty on the Howard team ensued. He was booed and hissed at. He was even threatened. The foul, however, was not to be thus erased. It is at just such a moment that two entirely different natures in persons reveal themselves. Donehy, a former captain of the Bison team, called the play in spite of how badly it hurt his Alma Mater. He is a man. Another former player might make oath that he was looking right at the play, but since Howard committed the foul, that player would boo Donehy for calling it. Draw your own conclusions. TUSKEGEE, Ala.-Sliding thru the highly touted Tuskegee Tiger forward wall with barely 39 seconds of game time left, Tynes, plucky Wilberforce fullback, planted the oval beyond the goal line to give his teammates a tie in the first meeting of the two schools, which was staged in Alumni Bowl, here before 10,000 spectators, last Saturday. The game ended, Tuskegee, 6; Wilberforce, 6. The Tigers were the first to score. Ben Stevenson, the invincible, intercepted a Wilberforce pass and was down the field to a touchdown. He missed the try for the point. The visitors' score came in the final quarter. Force recovered a Tuskegee fumble on the 10-yard line, with 49 seconds to play. Three thrusts at the Tiger line availed the Big Green nothing, but on the fourth Tynes broke through. HOWARD-ATLANTA GAME DATE CHANGED ATLANTA, Ga.—The intersec- tional College Classic, Howard University versus Atlanta Uni- versity, has been changed from Saturday, November 10, to Monday, November 12. The Governor of Georgia has declared Monday as a public holiday in celebration of Armistice Day, and a large num- ber of colored and white business men have requested that the date of the game be changed to Monday in order that a larger crowd may witness the contest, as there is nothing of interest going on Monday. SEMINARY BEATS NORTH CAROLINA STATE LYNCHBURG, Va.—Flashing an attack that could not be denied, Virginia Seminary rode rough shod over North Carolina State College to the tune of 37-0, thus registering their first victory of the season, here last Saturday. With a varied assortment o' plays, including a daring forward passing attack, line plunges and deceptive plays, Virginia Seminary was master of the situation except in the early part of the first quarter when State played them on even terms. African Leads Ray by Two Laps at End (Crusader News Service) NEW YORK—El Ouafi, brown-skinned representative of Africa, Sunday night, proved his right to wear the crown of world's champion marathon runner in a gruelling and nerve-wracking race over the twenty-six-mile route in Madison Square Garden. Running with the easy stride of one of his native African antecope, El Ouafi led Ray into the finish by more than two laps in 2 hours and 44 minutes $5 2-5 seconds. The African won first prize of $4,000, while Ray received $1,000 as his share. "The Football Classic of the Year."

CLARK HAMPTON INST.—The Lincoln University Lion, proud, tawny, strong, fighting creature from Chester, Pa., roared, and roared loud, but he the day had passed that roar was reduced to a tender purr by Coach Gid Smith's Blue and White Seasiders. His men piled up a mountainous score of 36 points to Lincoln's 6 in the Armstrong Field Stadium. The second half found Hampton at her highest. Four touchdowns, two in each quarter, were made by the Blue and White. Thus a Lincoln lead, established early in the game, was obliterated by the Seaside doggedness. The aerial attack of the Lions was a big factor in their score. HOWARD PREXY AT SUFFOLK FAIR SUFFOLK, Va.—With a record-breaking attendance throughout the week, the Tidewater Fair reached its climax of educational interest, Friday when Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, president of Howard University, in a stirring address pointed out the practical virgin opportunities for the Negro and white man in the South, urged his people to a greater interest in agriculture and ended with a plea for Christian ideals in material life.

The Bison aggregation of Howard University Saturday was defeated by the Yellow Jackets of West Virginia Collegiate Institute at the Howard Stadium, 21-7. The West Virginia first touchdown occurred within one minute after the kickoff, when on the very first play Washington recovered Ross' fumble on Howard's 35-yard line and galloped through an open field for the initial score. Confusion of the nonplussed Bisons was only increased in the second quarter when Stevenson, the Keystone right tackle, blocked Jones' punt and recovered the ball, carrying it 40 yards for the second count. Scott again booted the piksel for the extra credit. During the entire first half West Virginia, though unable to gain a first down broke through Howard's line to smear almost every formation. The half ended with the ball in the Bisons' possession on their own 15-yard line. Beginning the second half, Jack Young was substituted for Wilson at fullback and Payne for Coles at quarter. Howard received the ball off and advanced the ball through grim determination, aided by a 35-yard run by Jack Young. With the ball on the Yellow Jackets' 5-yard line, within the first five minutes of play of this half, Howard was held for downs. West Virginia kicked out of danger to Shelton on their own 35-yard line, Marshall taking the ball around left end for first down on the next play. Through successive end runs of Marshall, Simpson and Ross, with a line plunge by Ross, the ball was placed in position to score, the Howard captain crushing through the line for Howard's first and only count. Payne kicked for the extra point. **Howard** W. Virginia Simpson L.E. Washington Webb L.T. Froe Hawkins L.G. Kyle Hayes Center Nelson Drew R.G. Scott Shelton R.T. (C) Stevenson Sallie R.E. C.

The score was 24-0. Advertised as a match for both teams, as the two, co-champions last year, encountered with no defeats chalked against either for the past two years, the game, though interesting for the Techites, was a disappointment from neutral observation. With the youthful Everett Armstrong at the helm, the Orange and Blue aggregation piled up a score on the Virginians, which the latter except on one occasion, did not even threaten.

They were sitting in the parlor with only candles throwing fitful rays over the red plush furniture, and shadows playing in the corners. Ever so often a cloud would unmask the face of the little moon and let his rays illuminate the room. A gentle breeze off the Mississippi River lazily wafted the lace curtains, while the smell of the pine woods pervaded the room. Nestling closer, her wavy black hair touching his cheek, Rose curled her soft, plump arm about Henry's neck and whispered low and sweet, "Yes, darling." To these two young people it seemed that the millennium had come, for their happiness was exquisite. A. U. BEATS TALLADEGA AFTER RALLY, 12-7 The Crimson Hurricane of Atlanta University swept over the Crimson Tornadoes of Talladega by the score of 12--7, in a hotly contested game, Friday afternoon. Talladega scored when Garner intercepted a pass from Wiggins and sprinted seventy yards for a touchdown. They held this lead until late in the fourth quarter, when Atlanta opened an aerial attack, Tik Edwards to Red Jones, and Edwards to Wiggins. Three long passes were sufficient to reverse the score in Atlanta's favor, Jones carrying the last pass over for the winning touchdown. ROAMERS DOWN EBENEZER, 12-0 The champion Ebenezer A.C. eleven was defeated last Sunday in Alexandria by the Roamer A.C. of that city, 12-0. The game was a hard-fought one and very spectacular. The two Virginians' scores came after marches of 40 and 50 yards, using their special off-tackle plays. The Alexandria boys made 12 first downs to the Church boys' 5. The entire Roamer team played good ball, with Scott, their big-boy guard, standing out because of his offensive as well as defensive playing. The deciding game of the Tribune League championship series will not be played this year. With the score of games won tied at one each, the team managers and league officials decided to postpone the deciding tilt. The contest will be played May 4, 1929, as the official opening for the 1929 league. The Anacostia Athletics came back strong on their own diamond, last Sunday and took the second game of the Tribune League Playoff Championship Series by a score of 6-0. With Bill Reid, stellar: fast ball artist on the mound, the Glass A champions had little trouble disposing Pee Wee Sheppard's fast Piedmont A.C. The stocky hurrier from across the pond combined a dazzling fast ball with a deceptive assortment of curves and a neat change of pace, and he thoroughly convinced Piedmont batters that the day was not to be theirs. The Anacostia batsmen, on the other hand, buried themselves with pounding on the offerings of Sanford, Piedmont ace. BABY JOE GANS EASY VICTOR OVER PALMER (Crusader News Service) NEW YORK, Oct—Baby Joe Gans of Los Angeles, weighing 139½ pounds, won the decision over Nick Palmer, white, of Brooklyn, 148 pounds, in the main bout at the Broadway Arena last night. Gans won every round, save the first, which could be called even. Congregation Adopts Program of New Pastor at Metropolitan Bapt. Church Men's Meeting The Talk of Town. Sunday Nov. 4 4 P.M. Y.M.C.A.

METROPOLITAN ACCEPTS PLAN OF PASTOR Church Solidly Behind Leader Over Whom Dissertation Once Loomed The Metropolitan Baptist Church, under the leadership of its new pastor, Rev. E. C. Smith, A.B.B.D., at its regular business meeting, October 26, unanimously adopted the new program submitted by the pastor. The new program was first drawn up by the pastor and referred to a special committee for consideration.

When carried out, this will be one of the best organized churches in the connection. Back Pastor The church is jubilant over this new line of work, and has pledged new line of work, and have pledged themselves unanimously to stand behind the pastor and help carry out this new program. The members of the church and citizens of Washington are loud in their praise of the new pastor and how he is proving himself master of what was thought to be a very delicate situation.

O'Shields, of Portersville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine."

By all On Tuesday, November 6, those American citizens who, under present-day interpretation of the Constitution, are allowed to cast their votes, will have the privilege of exercising their franchise. The campaign this year has been one of the most momentous in the history of the nation. Whatever it has meant to the Catholics or Protestants, this campaign means more to the Negro, because this is the first time in American history that the Negro voter has definitely divided his political allegiance. Like other racial groups in America who live in every section of this broad land, the Negro finds himself face to face with the cold fact that his problems differ according to the sections in which he lives. The migration during the past fifteen years has carried Negro families into every nook and corner of the North, East and West. In cities where twenty years ago, a Negro was almost a curiosity, you now find hundreds of registered voters. As practically all of these migrants are from the South where many of them were denied the vote, those who have voted will not have age-long traditions to influence them as to what party or candidate they will cast their votes for. This will be the first national election for many of them to vote in. Reports from every section indicate that the Negroes are more alert to their constitutional rights than ever before. This is shown by the fact that they have registered in unprecedented numbers. In many states they have an opportunity to vote for various members of their race for city, county and state officers. In three states, New York, Illinois and Missouri, these voters will have the rare opportunity of voting for Negroes for Congress. In New York and Illinois, the two candidates are running on the Republican ticket, while in Missouri the candidate is running on the Democratic ticket. This campaign will be the first real test in race loyalty that the voters have been put to. In each of these Congressional districts where Negroes are candidates, a majority of the voters are Negroes, and if they cast a solid vote for the candidate of their own race, he will practically be assured of winning. No greater service can be rendered the race at this time than by the election of all three of these aspirants. As to the presidential candidates there is much division. Each group is equally enthusiastic and are well supplied with arguments to support their views. The fact that the race has heard both sides of the argument for the first time should place the voters in a better position to cast their ballots intelligently. It is the duty of every citizen to vote. And wherever this privilege can be enjoyed, full advantage should be taken of it. In a democracy the ballot is the throttle which regulates the progress of the nation. To the Negroes in the North, East, and West, who can vote and have it counted, evolves the duty of so voting that the condition of their brothers in blood in the southland may be materially improved to the end that some day in the not far distance he may exercise freely his right of franchise. By all means vote. A STEP FORWARD Beginning with this issu trated Feature Section become is carried as a supplement in paper, contains many features.

Amidst the mists and haziness of party promises, party denials party repudiations, party insults and party anything else you may have in mind, stands the Negro confused, beckoned to by the two parties, when "no one" is looking and waved back when "some one" is present or peeking around the corner. The G.O.P. finds him for the moment an unwelcome bed fellow and is looking for a corner into which to "ease" him, without hurting his feelings. The G.O.P. after more than a half century throwing at him brands of frightfulness that would make the World War look like a "Battle of Pillows" thrown by small children in a nursery, plays the Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde role, and forces the hand of the G.O.P. to be displayed in the open. Any race, man or woman, who has in the past, had any doubts as to where the group stood with the two parties, needs only a glance at the Bilbo-Ackerson skit, and the skit is elastic enough to take in as its characters those directly or indirectly connected with the supporting or "deporting" casts of the two major nominees. Debate is unnecessary to determine Mr. Hoover's stand on any future measures affecting the group. We reject him because of some of the friends he has made; he is the answer to a "Bourbon's prayer." Mr. Smith is sincere and well intentioned, but if elected, his first two or three years must fashion the frame work for his support for re-election. And we all know that Al does not choose to be a one-act performer in any dream. With Robinson, Blease, Gore and an army of gentlemen of the same persuasion, focusing the are light of suspicion on every move that Mr. Smith would make, we are convinced that "Ye" who would look in this direction to "sue for peace" would deserve a better fate.

THANKS FROM TEACHERS To the Editor of the Tribune: Thanks for calling attention last week, through the publication of the article by Mr. Gaines, to the many and increasingly burdensome demands (I say "demands" advisedly) made upon school teachers in connection with "drives" for various and sundry purposes, in the active leadership of which there is usually found one or more of the supervisory school officials. We have been called upon several times this year to contribute from our earnings to various drives—the N.E.A., the Sterling Relief, the Y.M.C.A., etc. And there will be many more before the school year closes. In addition to these hardships, teachers in a certain division usually receive a delicate intimation each year just before Christmas, that the supervisory principal would appreciate some little token of his charges' esteem and affection. Needless to relate, the token is always forthcoming. Foolhardy, indeed, is the teacher who "holds out" when the subscription list is passed around. The teachers as a whole appreciate the stand taken by the Tribune, and trust that you will con- PENNINGS of local POETS (Writers of verse, serious or light, may send to this column their "brain children."

NOVEMBER 2. 1928 PAGE ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL My dear Mr. Matthews:— I have been reading your column every week in the hope of finding something worth while. So far I have been disappointed. You write about bootleggers, numbers operators, pimps and other common things. I am a public school teacher and would like to read about something more elevating. Why don't you write about the public schools, Howard University or Freedmen's Hospital? Your kind and encouraging letter brought me no little pleasure. You helped me solve a problem that has been worrying me for sometime. I was of the opinion that only three people read this column. The linotype operator, the proofreader and myself. And here you come along and openly confess that you are a "Diplomat" addict. What is more encouraging is that you read it because it is punk. I am elated indeed to think that I can be punk enough to make somebody look for my stuff. That I take as quite an accomplishment. Just think what a circulation I can build up and how valuable I am to my employers if I could get—say 60 or 70 thousand readers buying the paper each week just to see how rotten I am. I shall use your letter as an argument when I ask for a raise. Shame on you for saying that bootlegging and numbers games and the like are not elevating subjects. A successful bootleger is a man to be admired. Most of them are unlearned men, possessing no degrees, diplomas or fraternity pins and at that they are making a greater success at their calling than the average druggist with all of his knowledge. They are brothers under the skin. Why don't I write about the public schools? Do you mean public school teachers? Well, I couldn't very well do that because it is not the purpose of this column to get anybody kicked out of their jobs, and being a public school teacher yourself, you know as well as I do that the least said about this noble profession the better for all concerned. Not being a member of the Board of Education a school supervisor, a principal or a student, I come in little contact with teachers during their working hours, but in the wee hours of the morning at places that I dare not mention I see quite a bit of them. If you want me to print this I would be glad to accommodate. Howard University is indeed a fitting subject, but there we strike a snag. No one, not even Emory B. Smith himself, who is paid good money for writing things about Howard University as head of the publicity department, can send out news without letting Dr. Johnson, the president pass on it. Suppose, for instance, I should write something or other about Howard University girls who have elaborately furnished apartments in the city, the rent of which is paid by our leading professional men who can afford to pay such rents, and I should carry the article all the way up to Howard for Dr. Johnson's approval and he would not consent to it being published. Why then I would have to come back and write something about bootleggers anyway so why waste all that time? Of course, I would not be an old meanie and write any such article. Not even mention it. Freedmen's Hospital? I am deeply interested in this venerable institution I pray about it every night. Just before going to bed I kneel down and say, "Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep, but should I get sick before I wake, for God's sake don't let them carry me to Freedmen's Hospital in that ramshackle, tumble down, antiquated emergency ambulance of theirs." Hoping these few lines will leave you greatly elevated, I am My dear Mr. Matthews:— I have been reading your colour something worth while. So far write about bootleggers, numbers, mon things.

I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race.

Sparrow (14) Miner Normal Girl Hurt Spraining a right-hand finger while playing basketball at Miner Normal School, last Friday, Julia Brashears, 20, a student there, living at 629 Acker street, northeast, walked to Freedmen's Hospital for first aid. Dr. W. H. Brown dressed the finger, after which Miss Brashears went home. ST. LUKE HEAD SPEAKS HERE Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, president of the St. Luke Bank and Trust Company, of Richmond, Va., and executive head of the Independent Order of St. Luke, addressed a meeting at Berean Baptist Church last Monday evening, on the subjects: "The Object and Purpose of Fraternal and Benevolent Organizations" and "Their Responsibilities to the Educational, Business, and Industrial Development of Our People." Mrs. Walker is an active member of the National Association of Colored Women and special courtesies were accorded by her by the local Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Washington branch of the Order of St. Luke. HOLD HALLOWEEN PARTY The Armstrong Athletic Association. Composed of over six hundred members, held a Halloween party in the gymnasium, on Monday afternoon, between three and five. Prizes, offered for the most beautiful and most comical costumes, were won by Margaret Jackson for the most beautiful, and Jacob Ford for the most comical. The prizes were pound boxes of choice chocolate candy. GHOSTS AND GOBLINS PARADE STREETS WITH FEW ARBESTS By Samuel Lacy Carnivall carnivall carnivall! One spirit prevailed over the whole city, Wednesday night as young and old promenaded the most popular streets, dressed in every describable costume creation, to do homage to the legendary arrival of the saints. Of the 130,000 Negroes who live in the Nation's Capital, only about 30,000 failed outright to appear on U street, northwest, between dusk of Wednesday and dawn of Thursday. At 10 o'clock, U street, generally recognized as the one thoroughfare in town where everybody who is anybody is bound to be seen on the event of a holiday, was a mass of surging humanity. Cars of the Capital Traction Co., and private automobiles were forced to progress through the zone between Fourteenth and Seventh streets, by inches. All Sizes Out There was to be seen every imaginable costume—pattern or otherwise. From the 130-pound baby cabriage, pushed through the huge throng by his parents of extremely dimutive proportions, to most horrible of dragon mockeries. From the ugliest creature ever dreamed of in the dill pickle and ice cream nightmare, the costume range shifted to the daintiest of ballet dancers. Play Pranks Pranks, played by the youngsters which set, by the way, was very well represented in the immense party of celebrants, included all the old tricks of removing the fence gates and overturning of garbage pails, as well as the latest in the frankish vogue. This modern form of adventure consisted of the marking "for sale" at little or nothing, the brand new Che-rolet coupe belonging to Detective R. L. Jones, of the Eighth Precinct. Halls Packed The Lincoln Colonnade, where the Royal Rooste: Social Club was entertaining, vass jammed, Murray's Palace Casino was packed to its rafters, the Pythian Temple auditorium together with the Silver Slipper Cabaret, in the same building, were both filled to capacity. The capacity of the Club Bohme and the Oriental Garder, cabarets were taxed. Dance hall and cabarets in other sections of the city reported the handling of capacity crowds. No Rough Stuff The festivities, even at its zenith, failed to exhibit anything but the best of spirit. All creeds, stations and descriptions mingled with a sense of good will. Police precincts report a night of exceptionally good conduct.

The commercial development of this tropical country, formerly the center of the slave trade, the statement says, has been remarkable, especially due to the great demand for cacao that has grown up in the last few years. With the development of the natural resources of the colony, it states, education and social agencies have been working to give the natives training and health. Only 21 Feet Above Sea Level The full text of the statement is as follows: "Lago, the most important town of the British Protectorate of Nigeria on the West Coast of Africa, has a population of 100,000 and is situated on an island in a large lagoon on the side of the Nigerian coast near Dahomy. At no place it is more than 21 feet above sea level. It is an important commercial center, the terminal of a 500-mile railroad, consumes 1,500,000 gallons of filtered water daily, and has electric, telephone, and radio service. Many Tribes "The inhabitants of Nigeria are not homogeneous, but are divided into a large number of tribes, of different origins, languages, religions, and characteristics, which vary greatly in intelligence and development. First School in 1899 "The first government school in Nigeria was opened in 1899, and between two and four thousand "bush" schools (private schools without Government inspection) existed in the Southern Provinces in 1926. Two Groups "The northern group of provinces number 12, and the southern 10, besides Lagos Colony and the British Cameroons. The United States has recently opened a consulate at Lagos.

BUSINESS TALKS BY BUSINESS MEN In the past ten or fifteen years our people have become convinced in growing numbers of the need of more adequate life and health protection, and have purchased insurance policies in reliable concerns offering policies that carry worthwhile benefits for them in stress of sickness and death. Meanwhile the kind of insurance offered them has steadily improved both in liberality of premium rates and benefits offered. For instance, one of the most approved forms of life insurance now available to our masses is offered by the Underwriters Mutual Life Insurance Company of Chicago, which has cut the red tape in selling a high-class policy to colored people. Without even sending a high pressure salesman to prevail upon the insurance prospect or a physician to conduct an examination, this company will insure you upon the simple matter of your filling out the coupon attached to its advertisement in this paper, and sending it to the home office with the premium inclosed. The policies offered by this company carry very substantial benefits, and the premium rates are as low as a dollar per month. The cushion value also is comparable to that of ordinary life policies of the insurance companies in America. These policies are sold on a legal reserve basis. POSTAL CLERKS VOICE IRE AT METHODS An unusually large number of postal employees attended the monthly meeting of the Post Office Mutual Welfare Association, held Sunday afternoon at the National Alliance of Postal Employees headquarters in the Pendleton Building. John D. Gainey, railway mail chief clerk, and Neville H. Thomas, representing the N.A.A.C.P., were the principal speakers. Alleged discrimination in the rating of colored clerks in the local post office was discussed at length. Gainey stated that there was no disposition on the part of the Post Office Department to be unfair in the matter of ratings and attempted to show that the contention of the men was without foundation. Many present, however, appeared to resent Gainey's attitude, and cited specific instances where colored employees had been discriminated against.

GEORGIA EXELENTO FACE POWDER CARVED INITIALS ON SWEETHEART'S CHEST NEW YORK—The practice of a quaint old custom of his forefathers caused Chief Hawks, known in Harlem as Marcellus Hawkins, to post $20,000 in bail or be committed to jail to await grand jury action on a charge of felonious assault. Chief Hawks, who claims to be a Senesa Indian, was taken into custody on the charge as a result of his act of carving his initials on the chest of his sweetheart, Margaret Ricci, a white sculptress. When arraigned Chief Hawks explained that he had caught his fiancee in a lie, and that the only way a girl in such a predicament could atone for her act, according to the belief of his fathers, was to permit her lover to brand her with his initials.

Garvey In Canada, Urges Smith Support QUEBEC—Four million Negro voters in the United States will be asked to vote for Smith, declared Marcus Garvey, who is to make the appeal. Garvey was deported from the United States more than a year ago after having served a prison term in connection with his project of establishing a Negro free state on the African Gold Coast. Garvey was a passenger on the Empress of Scotland, which docked here tonight. “Our people have been traditionally Republican, but this year we will break away. I believe Smith to be a better man than Hoover. Hoover stands for the trusts. It is because of this that Harvey Firestone got his concessions in Liberia. That has put Liberia back 100 years.” FALLS ON GLASS; HURT Charles Morgan, 28 years old, of 2022 Fourth street, northwest, drove to Freedmen's Hospital, last Sunday for treatment of an incised wrist, which he received when he fell on a piece of glass at his home.

(Special to the Tribune)—Joseph L. McLemore, the regular Congressional nominee of the Democratic party of the 12th Congressional district, now represented by Congressman L. C. Dyer, is a disturbing factor to the Republican organization here. The Democrats made a strong bid for the Negro vote of St Louis when they ran McLemore in the primary and nominated him to run against the veteran L. C. Dyer, on the 6th of November. It was a master stroke and has made many friends among the Negroes of this city. There is some background for this. Republicans Failures Their Republican Governor Baker has been a failure as was their Republican Mayor Miller. There is much dissatisfaction in the ranks; therefore, McLemore's candidacy comes at a psychological time and is really worrying Mr. Dyer and his party. Heavy Registration In the recent registration the Negro voters increased more than 6,000 for a total of 35,124 with men leading by the number of 21,659 and the women trailing with 13,465. The total registration of the city was 363,847. Most of this colored vote is in the 12th Congressional district. Is Howard Man Mr. McLemore is a young man of fine qualities and an able lawyer. He finished his law course at Howard University in 1922. He is a member of the law firm of Bowles, Davis and McLemore, with offices in the People's Finance Building where they have four well appointed rooms. Mr. Davis was a member of the last Missouri Legislature. If elected McLemore will make a creditable representative of the 12th Congressional district as well as of the race. PROGRESSIVE A. E. JOHN H.

The anniversary celebration of the Princess Street Third Baptist Church was a huge success. Large crowds were in attendance at each of the anniversary exercises. The installation of the newly elected officers of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society of Roberts Chapel Auxiliary was a very impressive ceremony. The installation was conducted by the Washington Conference, under the supervision of Mrs. Fannie D. Tyler, secretary.

Mitchell, the commercial attache at Rome. In his report Mr. Mitchell states: "Abyssinia's efforts to obtain an outlet to the sea have been rewarded; it has now been announced that Italy will lease to that country for 130 years a piece of land in or near the port of Assab in Eritrea on the Red Sea, where a wharf, pier or jetty can be built. Site to be Selected "The exact site of the port is to be determined by a mixed commission. It is expected to be either a site of approximately 6,000 square meters in the town of Assab itself or a site of 30,000 square meters about two miles distant from the city. To Have Full Control "The Abyssinian Government will have complete control of the land so leased and will collect taxes on imports and exports without interference from the Italian authorities." Descendants of Solomon Abyssinia or Ethiopia is a mountainous, volcanic country in northeast Africa. It is bounded on the north by Eritrea (Italian), on the east by British and Italian Somalland, on the south by Kenya, and on the west by the Soudan.

FRATERNAL NEWS Eastern Star Visitations Announced Visitations to subordinate Eastern Star Chapters by Grand Royal Matron Daisy L. Booker and her cabinet, scheduled to have been held in the Eastern Star room of the new Masonic Temple building at Tenth and U streets, northwest, will be held instead in the consistory room of the Scottish Rite Temple. The change in place of meeting is due, it is understood, to the failure of the building inspector's office to permit the use of the new structure for meeting purposes prior to its completion, the new ruling being the result of the accident last week in which two laborers lost their lives at Fourteenth and K streets, northwest, in a cave-in. Dates of the visitations are as follows: November 5, Prince Hall Chapter; Nov. 6, Thrift Chapter; Nov. 7, Redemption Chapter; Nov. 12, Martha Chapter; Nov. 13, Datcher Chapter; Nov. 14, Ruth Chapter; Nov. 15, Queen Esther Chapter; Nov. 16, Fidelity Chapter; Nov. 19, Queen of Sheba Chapter; Nov. 21 Gethsemane Chapter; No. 22, Naomi Chapter; Nov. 27, Electa Chapter; Nov. 28, Miriam Chapter.

PERRY HOWARD (Continued from page 1) jury was selected from their political opponents who were bent upon returning an indictment regardless of the evidence. They also claim that the jury panel was illegally drawn. The jury commission, they say, consisted of three Republicans. It should have been made up of two Republicans and one Democrat. Object to Mrs. Willebrandt The defendants also ask that the indictment be quashed on the ground that improper persons were in the grand jury at the time the indictment was voted. They refer to Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, assistant attorney general, who went to Mississippi to present the charges against Mr. Howard to the grand jury; Miller E. McGilchrist, a special assistant to the attorney general who accompanied Mrs. Willebrandt, and J. C. Tyler, former United States marshal for the southern district of Mississippi, who failed to get a re-appointment because Mr. Howard would not endorse him for the office.

"PINKY" DIES (Continued from page 1) Afro-American, $2,000; the Louis-Port Tobacco, Charles County, Md. She was separated at the age of 7 from her mother by the latter's sale as a slave. Soon afterward she and her grandmother were sold to a trader in Batilimore. The grandmother, however, had saved enough money to buy her own freedom and to lease "Pinkey." Learning of the reputation gained by Henry Ward Beecher as a champion for the freedom of the Negroes, the grandmother reached him through a friend and prevailed upon him to aid her in securing "Pinkey's" freedom. Visits Girl's Owner Mr. Beecher then visited the girl's owner, who set a price upon her head of $900. Beecher then began to prepare his famous address, which resulted in the $1,100 being raised. "Pinkey," trembling with fright, sat on the rostrum while Beecher's eloquence caused women to become hysterical and men to toss money into the collection plates. Following the signing of the bill of sale, the girl was taken to live with the family of John Falkner Blake, who had executed the sale, in Alexandria. The child was then given the name of Rose Ward, after Rose Terry, the author, and Henry Ward Beecher. She treasured up to the time of her death the bill of sale which gave her freedom.

Estimates of the percentage of colored voters who will desert the Republican party vary. ‘They range from 25 to 65 per cent, Strategy Went Wrong Republican strategy has gone wrong. The Republican manage: ment figured on breaking the “Solid South,” and getting the electoral votes cf Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida, Tennessee and Ken- tucky. Virginia and Florida are conceded to the Democrats. North Carolina is listed as leaning toward the Democratic column. Kentucky and Tennessee are doubtful, the Republicans having the advantage in the former and the Democrats in the latter. Fear Ku Klux Colored yoters believe that the Republican party has waged a cam- ign of racial as well as religion have been made to colored voters to stand by the party of Lincoln In the South, Republicans have fos tered charges that Governor Alfred FE. Smtih, the Democratic candidate, yeas responsible for racial equality in schools and dance halls; that he had appointed erdinand Q. Mor- ton a Civil Service Commissioner; that he endorsed miscegenation, and so on. Much of the literature contained a picture of Mr. Morton dictating to a white woman sten ographer.

"Raisin' Cain" Forgets Its Name and Becomes Good Vaudeville Bill MANY STARS APPEAR Seldom will you find as many individual stars on one bill as appear in the offering "Raisin' Cain" at the Howard Theatre, this week. NEW YORK—Roland Hayes America's foremost tenor, who will appear in recital at Carnegie Hall here on Thursday evening, November 15. Mr. Hayes has just returned from a European tour. After you are comfortably seated you would do well to forget the name of the offering because after the opening number the show loses all track of being a tab and contents itself with being a good vaudeville. "FORGOTTEN FACES" AT BROADWAY NEXT WEEK This condition of affairs, which by far gives the customers a better break for their money is the result of the management having assembled a number of performers who are worthy of headline honors in their own right and they do everything to prove it. The show settles down to a singing contest in which Chappelle and Stinette, Ida Cox, Charles Anderson, Gussie Gould, Billie McKenzie and Elijah Chapman participate in turn. At the close of the performance it is a tosse up. For Sunday and Monday the offering at the Broadway will be that wonderful crook story, "Forgotten Faces" with a cast such as is seldom seen in one picture. The story starts out with a hold-up in a gambling house and an element of mystery is at once introduced. The following star players take the leading parts: Clive Brook, William Powell, Fred Kohler (of underworld fame), Mary Brian, Baclanova and Jack Luden. Charles Anderson and Anita Stinette crowd each on reaching the high notes. And Chappie Chappelle and Chapman run neck and neck on the ballads. (Jimmy Stewart and Reginald York take care of the dancing but this team fails to click due to the fact that as a dancing team they are badly mismated as to height. Tuesday only, by special request, a return engagement of the "I'll girl, Clara Bow, in "Red Hair" Wednesday and Thursday, Pola Negri in her latest success, "Loves of an Actress." Friday and Saturday, a great double feature bill, consisting of Lon Chaney in "Mockery" and Alice White in "Lingerie." The much enjoyed "Talent Nights" have been re-established and will be presented every Thursday night at nine o'clock. Slim Thompson, David Voiles and Eddie Matthews handle the comedy with varying success. "Black Belt" Ready Soon "The Whip" with Sound Effects at the Republic "Black Belt," a new play which has been announced by several producers, now is once more likely to reach production. The technical producer will be Sidney Phillips, a theatrical casting agent, but the rumor is that George Jessel, white, will do the financing. "The Whip," the most sensational of the Drury Lane melodramas will be the feature screen attraction at the Republic from Saturday to Wednesday, November 3, 4.

One of the scenes in "Deep Harlem" depicts these types although they do not go the limit that "Pleasure Man" went. The show was raided after the first performance and everybody connected with the presentation from the author to the stage carpenter were placed under arrest. Lewis Objects Theophilus Lewis, foremost New York Negro critic, scored Whitney and Tutt for resorting to smut in putting over the Seventh Avenue scene in which these characters appear. Salem Whitney answering the criticism in the current issue of 5, 6, and 7. Dorothy Mackaill, Lowell Sherman, Anna Q. Nilsson, Ralph Forbes and Marc MacDermott head the cast. "The Whip" is shown with synchronized music and sound effects. You see and hear the racing horses, the smashing auto crash and the great train wreck, also a synchronized music score by a 100-piece orchestra. It is a story of ritzy women, scandal, a dishonored woman avenging her wrong and tells what happens when a beautiful girl gambles her heart on a horse. See and hear "The Whip," the picture that never stops being a sensation. "Danger Street," a slashing epic of gangland, starring Warner Baxter, will be shown on Thursday and Friday, November 8 and 9. The theme of the story revolves around a handsome and popular society man of New York's four hundred, who, after losing the girl he loves, departs for the tenderloin district, hoping that he may become mixed up with its gunmen and eventually meet destruction. He gets his wish in so far as meeting up with the gunmen is concerned. There will be a complete change of Vitaphone acts with each feature picture. Lincoln Has "The Patriot" and "King of Kings" The Lincoln Theatre offers its patrons two of the best pictures of the year in playing for the first of the week, "The Patriot" with Emil Jannings and for the last half "The King of Kings" by popular demand. On Saturday, November 3, the feature will be "The Patriot," directed by that master of subtlety, Ernst Lubitsch, "The Patriot," brings to the screen a story of the Russian court a century ago which, for suspense, dramatic force and lavishness of production, has rarely been equalled, never surpassed, in any local theatre.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1928 the Chicago Defender, has the following to say: "The characters speak for themselves, it is real life, and not even the most sensitive seem to be offended by it. In our 'Fifty-fifty' sketch we were misquoted by the critic. Homer has become conscious-stricken and endeavors to prove that he has not always been the fifty-fifty partner that the theatrical profession and public has thought him to be. I declare that I have treated him as badly as he has treated me and also try to prove my contention. At last I am angered when he informs me that the minister he secured to marry me was an undertaker. I tell him it was fifty-fifty up to that point, but that dirty trick dissolves our partnership. Then I ask him one last question: "What became of those parties I introduced to you at the masquerade ball?" "A moment's hesitation, then I say: 'Do you know that was a sissy?' Mr. Lewis is the first to object to those lines as vulgar. We have broadcast the sketch with those lines included as far South as Macon, Ga., and over such stations as WEAF and WOR, New York City. I remember that the great Theodore Roosevelt in a public speech compared, or referred to, a class certain of men as sissies." plays a role opposite Jannings which offers marvelous opportunities for her suave and meticulously careful artistry. Lewis Stone, who plays the name part of "The Patriot," presents a character which, for dignity and convincing realism, might be that of the original. Count Pahlen, whose name is plastered all over the pages of Russian history of a century ago. Other members of the cast, Tullio Carminati, Vera Voronina, Harry Cording and others, under the masterly direction of Lubitsch, present character studies which are amazingly real. "King of Kings," the religious drama, will play a return engagement by popular demand beginning November 8. "Monkey Shines," Howard Stage Offering The special bill at the Howard Theatre beginning Monday November 5, will be Leonard Harper with his latest and greatest revue, "Monkey Shines of 1928," an all-star cast of players with funny comedians playing the leading comedy parts, with spirit and understanding and extract fun in a generous measure. They are bubbling over with puns and witlcisms that are as wholesome as they are comical. The details have not been slighted. The scenic settings are on a lavish scale and gives stage pictures such as are not seen outside of the theatres that charge twice as much for their seats. It has been proven that the theatre-going public recognizes real merit, and will liberally partonize an offering that gives value received. Ever since the initial performance crowded houses have greeted this attraction. The company is one of real merit selected after careful study, and you are assured of an evening of 100 per cent wholesome entertainment.

Local Boy LOCAL BOY SCORING IN CHICAGO Jammy Dyer, Dunbar Grad Meeting with Success as Show Producer in West STARTED HERE Close to the top of the list of Washingtonians who went to the big city and made good is that of Sammy Dyer, local boy, who is staging shows with much success in Chicago cabarets. Sammy's recent success, "Syncopated Rhythm" was presented at the Sunset Cabaret where it was hailed as one of the most novel offerings seen for sometime. With "Rosetime Revue" Sammy Dyer was educated in our schools, finishing Dunbar in '22. He started his career in the memorable Rosetime Revue, a member of the team Glascoe and Dyer. They later worked in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York Night Clubs, and were seen last with Irving C. Miller's "Dancing Days," during the summer of '25. Joined "Runnin' Wild" After a vaudeville tour the team broke, Sammy Dyer joining "Runnin' Wild." At the end of that season he joined "How Come" which closed in Chicago. Then Sammy joined "Carolyn Williams and Boys Act" which went to the coast playing in San Francisco a season. He came east again in "Plantation Days" which played the Howard. Going west again he settled in Chicago and has been working his way up in night clubs until he is now staging in Chicago's best. Incidently Sammy Dyer is an artist of note having done oil portraits of Miller and Lyles, Jack Carter of "Porgy," and Jey Starr. Perhaps his best work is his portrait of the late "Lady" Florence Mills which hangs in the lobby of the Regal Theatre, Chicago HOWAR SEVENTH STREET at T.

The picture is an African feature, the action of which is supposed to have been taken here September 14. The majority of the actors in the play are colored. Whites, of course, have most of the leading parts. The biggest part of the task of selecting the cast of 600 needed to go on location fell to the lot of Nathan Curry, well known actor who has filled many prominent parts during the last few years. Noble Johnson, who has played important parts in some of the greatest features made by studios here, including the bronze man in the "Ten Commandments," is playing as a captain of Egyptian soldiers in the present production. George Reed is to be a leader of the dervishes. RD THE T. NORTHWEST x Begin.

She has established a fine reputation on the wireless and is often heard over the same. Besides her cabaret work, she is now appearing as a curtain raiser in May Edington's play, "Deadlock." Albert Limpus, the big critic, describes Miss Jackson as the female Paul Robeson. Miss Jackson has a charming personality and was one of the outstanding hits at the much talked about party of John C. Payne. Her style of entertaining and accompanying herself at the piano has made her very popular in the West end and being of the unusual pretty brown skin color she attracts a lot of attention. VINCENT SMITH HAS HARDEST JOB The hardest job backstage is that of the "flyman" according to Vincient Smith, who has been pulling curtains in the theatres for nine years. Time is the most important element in handling the drops Smith declares now that short skirts are the vogue. The whole effect of a sketch may be lost unless the curtain is dropped at the right moment. Smith has been employed at the Howard Theatre here for two years. He handles from 20 to 30 curtains each performance. There are three ropes to each curtain which must never be confused. FIRST TIME ON STAGE Elijah Chapman, local boy, who is playing in the offering at the Howard Theatre this week is making his first professional appearance on the stage. Chapman, who is known locally as "Grapes" has been singing in cabarets and has a remarkable voice. He is teamed with Slim Thompson.

BILL ROBINSON NOT PERMITTED TO ACT NEW YORK—Bill Robinson, of "Blackbirds," was billed at the Palace, New York, this week but did not appear. The Eltinge theatre management advised the Keith office that if the Palace attempted to play Robinson, an injunction would be sought. The theatre's right to do so is in its booking contract which denies the right of any actor in the show to appear in another theatre during its run at the Eltinge. An exception in Robinson's case was requested but refused. It appears that a contract for the Palace date was signed by the Keith office but Robinson did not affix his signature. The dancer said that if the Palace insisted on his appearance he would refuse but was willing to pay over an amount equal to his salary, to be applied on a substitute turn. RACE GIRL STARRING IN MEXICO NEW YORK—Emma Maitland is at present starring in the Latin countries, having completed a successful week in Mexico City where she played the Teatro Policamero.
