Sixteen More Suits Loom Against Howard U.
FOUR HEROES OF WRECK
Will Take Man 21 Years to Serve Three Sentences
UNDER
the Dome
of the
CAPITOL
The much heralded dawn of a new day in politics for Negroes is again a myth and made so by the Negroes themselves.
At the beginning of the campaign many prominent, self-styled Negro leaders, cried from the housetops that they would work for this party or that without pay and would make their demands for the good of the race at the White House after election.
Ninety-five per cent of these money-mad yokels will be ashamed to show their faces to the successful candidates because in their avarice they not only took all they could get from the side they were supposed to support, but from the ther side as well.
The dawn of the new day for Negroes is here. The unscrupulous tactics displayed in this campaign by Negro leaders has proven to the white man that he has neither character, common honesty or plain decency. The next campaign may find him not wanted at all.
At a musical conference held recently in Rio De Janeiro Mme. Renato Almedia, discussing American music, declared that the Tango was essentially Negro, having been first played by Negro carnival actors in the River Plate cities.
White folks are constantly going out of their way to give the Negro credit for discovering things of no consequence. The Charleston, blackbottom, jazz, and blues are Negrcid creations. Everything that contributes to the progress of the world was discovered by white folk.
"The introduction of a bill to have Congress erect a building dedicated to the progress of the American Negro will be one of the first things I will push when that body convenes, Senator William Cabell Bruce, Democratic candidate for Congress from the State of Maryland, declared in his campaign speeches.
Why a building dedicated to Negro progress when this same Congress is constantly passing measures that hinder the furtherance of this progress?
A bill against lynching, disfranchisement and discrimination would be of greater value to the Negro than a building, were it built of gold and studded in diamonds. But campaign promises mean little anyway. Bruce was defeated.
Mothers who think it cute to see their little boys with dirty faces will probably be interested in the recent announcement of scientists that cancer can be caused by a dirty face. Dirty faces can be prevented but cancer is incurable.
Residents of Tennessee who raised such a howl over the teaching of evolution in the schools will find cause for alarm in the announcement that Lord Lugard, British member of the mandates commission of the league, has demanded that that body take steps to protect from extinction the gorillas and chimpanzees inhabiting mandated territories in Africa.
The commissioners are seriously considering listing the gorillas as defenceless members of the human race making them entitled to protection as "indigenous natives."
While Europe is passing laws to protect apes, America is sleeping on the Anti-lynch law designed to protect defenceless humans.
Three Terms of Seven Years Each To Run Consecu-
Seven years each on three charges of housebreaking and larceny were given William Jones, 21, of no fixed address, by Chief Justice Walter L. McCoy, in Criminal Division, District Supreme Court, Saturday. The terms, which are to run consecutively will keep Jones confined for the next 21 years. The man is alleged to have broken into the store of Ambrose R Swan, 3132 Fourteenth street, July 26, and stole a number of dresses. June 29, he entered the store of Dorothy M. Ahlers, 1108 Connecticut avenue, and took a quantity of women's wear and on the same day entered the store of Blanche Mills, 1733 L street, where he was arrested.
Chiropractors To Meet
The Washington City Chiropractors' Association will hold a very important meeting at the Grover Cleveland School, corner Eighth and T streets, northwest, at 8 p.m., Tuesday, November 20. Dr. Alverda C. Gates will deliver an interesting address, which will be followed by the annual election of officers for the ensuing year. Every member is earnestly requested to be present. Dr. H. U.

University Head Heard at Howard, Wednesday
Dr. C. H. Marvin, president of George Washington University, was the speaker at the Howard University assembly hour in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, on Wednesday morning. Dr. Marvin, drawing the suggestion from an Indian legend stated that students of the University in seeking the laws of life are preparing themselves for leadership of their group in our complex social order.
The speaker pointed out the dangers of deviation from the path of progress in the rush of modern life. To illustrate the principle he contrasted the means of travel sixty years ago and now. Ox driven caravans in their journey westward found little difference whether they turned slightly to the right or to the left of their course, but a slight deviation in the course of an aeroplane might mean disaster.

LINCOLN U. COACH IS OUSTED
Poor Showing of Team Blamed for Action of Faculty; Paid Full Salary
WAS HOWARD MENTOR
By Samuel H. Lacy
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa.—Reports that Dr. W. E. Morrison, for the past two years head coach of football at Lincoln University, had been dismissed from that position were confirmed by Dr. William H. Johnson, president of the school in an interview by phone, Thursday.
"The Faculty Athletic Committee," Dr. Johnson stated, "at a meeting last Wednesday night, made some provisions whereby Dr. Morrison would no longer coach the football team. The squad, for the remainder of the season, will be in charge of Timothy C. Myers, backfield coach, and formerly an assistant to Dr. Morrison."
System Failure
Dr. Morrison's dismissal is attributed to his failure to develop a (Continued on page 5)
Boy Held on One Charge, Faces Another
In addition to a 60-day sentence imposed by Judge Isaac R. Hitt, in Police Court, Saturday, Wesley S. Smith, 18, of 631 Florence street, northeast, was held for the action of the grand jury on still another charge. The sentence was fixed when Smith pleaded guilty to stealing a watch from Louis Coleman, his employer. The holding of Smith was demanded when it was found that he was guilty of entering the hardware store at 1434 Florida avenue. Smith is the same man who was arrested, last week, shortly after his decision to hunt ducks and reed birds in the rear of the District Jail, such hunting to be done with stolen weapons and ammunition.

Thirteen Students Barred From Medical School Await Outcome of Smith Suit
IGNORE LAW FACULTY
By Louis Lautier
Hearing on the petition of
Clarence I. (Tick) Smith, former
Howard University football star,
for a writ of mandamus to compel
President Mordecai W. Johnson
to attend the medical school
was continued until Friday by
Justice William Hitz in the District Supreme Court, November 9.
George D. Horning, Jr., counsel for Smith, made the request for the continuance on the ground that counsel for the university, President Johnson and the members of the executive committee, who are defendants in the case, was not ready. Justice Hitz granted the continuance.
Law Faculty Ignored
Meanwhile amazement is being expressed in university and legal circles as well as among the general public and patrons of the university that President Johnson should ignore the entire faculty of the law school in the selection of counsel to represent the university.
He chose the law firm of Colladay & Colladay, he advised a newspaper man Tuesday afternoon. Be-

Light-Fingered Pullman Porters Given Jail Terms
Charged with the thefts of 25 bed sheets, 25 pillow slips, and 14 table napkins, two men, Aubrey Davis and Coleman Duckett, Monday, were sent back to jail.
The two men were arraigned before Judge Isaac R. Hitt and accused of stealing the laundry from the Pullman Company. Assistant United States Attorney Albert Stern, in cross-examining, learned that the men had only recently been released from jail, and that they had formed the acquaintance of one another while serving terms. Each of the defendants told the court that he was implicated only as a companion to the other who was the real thief.
Sentences of a maximum degree were requested by Mr. Stern, in answer to which Judge Hitt imposed one year on each of the men.

On last Sunday, the tenth anniversary of the signing of the armistice was observed. Throughout the world, men of high rank and low rank were making speeches, giving an inventory, so to speak, of the world's achievements during these last ten years, following the close of the greatest slaughter of human beings the world has ever known.

GARVEY RETURNS TO JAMAICA IN STE'RAGE
KINGSTON, Jamaica—Marcus Garvey, leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and his wife arrived here aboard the steamer Canadian Forrester from Canada. Both traveled in the steerage. Deportation of Garvey from Canada resulted from his denunciation of treatment of colored men under British and American flags. It was felt that he should not be permitted to use Canada as a place from which to cast aspersions upon a friendly neighbor.

G.O.P. Helps Build Church
ST. JOSEPH, Mo.-The Republican State Committee, here, has forwarded a check in the amount of $1,500 for the purpose of aiding the congregation of a church in Peniscat County in their work of rebuilding. The church was destroyed by fire.
A Republican rally was held at the church last week, at which Walter Lathen, of St. Louis, spoke. Later that night bullets were fired into his room, but he was uninjured. Shortly afterward the burning church was discovered. Feeling ran high in the county and two Federal agents were sent there to prevent an outbreak.

GIRL GIVES SELF UP AS POLICE HUNT
Young Woman Sat in Home for Two Hours After Emptying Shot Gun Into Man's Head
Walking into the Second Precinct Station even while police were combing the city for her, Mabel Butler, 27 years old, living at 85 Fenton place, northeast, gave herself into the arms of the law for the killing of Charles Riggs, 46, her alleged sweetheart, last Sunday night. Riggs was shot to death as he lay asleep in bed at the Fenton street address. According to the story of the woman, she and Riggs had had a bitter quarrel, earlier in the evening. She said that she feared for her safety, and when upon going upstairs at an angle, 11 o'clock, she found Riggs asleep, she went into a rage, pressed a shotgun against the back of his head and pulled the trigger. She admitted that she and Riggs had lived together for sometime, having recently moved here from Maryland.
Waited Two Hours
After the shooting, the woman declared, she went to her room, dressed, and went downstairs where she remained looking out of her front window for two hours. Leaving the house shortly after 1 o'clock, Miss Butler went to her mother's house in nearby L street, and then, upon the advice of her parent, to the police station.
A coroner's jury, at the inquest, Monday, ordered the woman held for the action of the grand jury.
DEHART HUBBARD SUED FOR DIV'RCE
Wife of Olympic Star and Broadjump Champion Charged with Non-Support
CINCINNATI, O.—Charging desertion and failure to support. Mrs. DeHart Hubbard, wife of the former athlete and broad jump champion, has filed suit for divorce in a local court. Mrs. Hubbard states that they were married on March 4, 1922, and are the parents of two children. She is asking that the court grant reasonable alimony since her husband has a very good position as director of recreational activities in the city and has other sources of income.
Olympic Star
Hubbard established a remarkable reputation as a track and field star while a student at the University of Michigan. While there he attained the intercollegiate broad jump and hop-step-and-jump titles. In 1924, he won the broad jump event for the United States at the Paris Olympic Games. Although he went as a representative of this country to the recent Amsterdam Olympics, Hubbard, due to a fractured ankle received during his training period, was unable to retain his crown.

NEGROES ARE HEROES OF SHIPWRECK
Three Men Saved 22 From Sea; One Man Rescued 20 Singlehanded
NEW YORK.—Four Negroes are acclaimed by survivors as the outstanding heroes of the disaster in which the illfated liner Verstris sauk off the Virginia coast with a toll of 108, Tuesday.
A tale of heroism that ranks with any in the annals of navigation was told by survivors who arrived aboard the Berlin here today.
All the survivors, save one of the 22 aboard the Berlin, owe their lives directly to four Negro members of the crew, A. Bannister, Joseph Alexcei, Fred Myricle, and Lionel Licorice, a Barbados native.
Swam Back to Shin
Following the launching of the lifeboats from the Vestris and the capsizing of two of them it was Bannister who swam back to the sinking ship and succeeded in launching a life boat unaided.
Picking up Alexcel and Myriele, Bannister piloted the boat to the relief of overcrowded lifeboats and those who were swimming in the water.
Had Given Up Hepe
To use the words of one of the passengers:
"We had given ourselves up for lost when we saw the Negroes coming to our relief. So sure we were that all was over that we told them to save themselves and not bother itth us.
"But they refused to desert us and at peril of their own lives stood by until we were all transferred to their boat and then to the Berlin. It was the bravest thing I have ever seen."
Nineteen persons in all were rescued by Bannister and his aides.
The only survivor aboard the Berlin not rescued by them was Walter Schmidt, who was picked up while swimming near the Berlin.
Saved 20 Singlehanded

Acristice Day Is Occasion For Many Fights
Evidently of the opinion that Armistice Day means no more to the citizens of the District of Columbia than Election Day, several local Negroes staged their own little private warfares while the rest of the country was rejoicing over the tenth anniversary of the cessation of hostilities on World War frontiers.
Police of two precincts report four fights. Two were between persons not related to one another, while the other two were of a civil or domestic nature. In all, however, a sliced shoulder, a rather deeply scraped throat, and a couple of split lips were found to be part of the day's work.
The family quarrels were between George Cole, 36, of 227 B street, southwest, and his wife, Mary, and Marchie and Malissa Lindsey, 930 Third street, southwest. Both resulted in the seeking of medical attention by the husbands. A third fight, between Laura Madden, 28, living at 329 H street, southwest, and Hillary Frederick, 910 F street, southwest, was one of the two staged by non-relatives. In the fourth alteration Robert Burns, 48, living at 442 Grays court, southwest, engaged an unknown assailant who cut him and escaped.
Police intervention and necessity for medical attention served as promoters of final armistices.

Mrs. Mary Brewer Names
Individuals Omitted in
Omissions of the names of sev-
_ eral outstanding artists in an
article written by James Weldon
Johnson in the current issue of
Harper's magazine were called
to the attention of the editor of
the magazine in a letter by Mrs.
Mery G. Brewer, of this city,
this week.
In her letter Mrs. Brewer, who
lives at 1010 Fairmont street, had
the following to say: ;
“I have just read with keen in-
terest the article entitled ‘Race
Prejudice and the Negro Artist,’
by James Weldon Johnson, which
appears in the November issue of
your magazine. To my great as-
tonishment, Mr. Johnson has over-
looked, in his survey of the Ne-
gro's achievement in sculpture, the
one artist in this field who has won
recognition in notable art exhibits
and has received favorable criti-
cism from prominent art critics not
only in the north but in the na-
tion’s capital, in the south, where
one expects ‘no one to recognize
any activity of the kind.
Washington Woman Sculptress
“The work of May Howard Jack-
son, of Washington, whose collec-
tion of portrait busts of American
Negroes is unique, both in Ameri-
ca and abroad, has been exhibited
in Veerhoff's Gallery and the Cor-
coran Gallery of Art, at Washing-
ton, and at the National Academy
of Design in New York City. She

Won scholarship from the Phila-
delphia public schools to the Aca-
demy of Fine Arts for the Harmon
Foundation, in New York City,
“Leila Mecklin, art critic of
Washington, a native of Macon,
Ga., has commented’ on several oc-
casions upon Mrs, Jackson's work.
Speaking of ‘The Mulatto Mother
and her Child,’ she wrote in The
Evening Star of May 21, 1916: ‘The
child is especially well’ modeled—
childish, human, appealing, and
the two, as a group, hold well to-
gether, the sculpter’s conception
having found adequate plastic ex-
pression,’ ‘The Head of a Child,’
which was exhibited in the Cor-
coran Gallery for two years, from
1917 to 1919, received this tribute
from, Miss Mecklin: ‘It is an ad-
mirable piece ‘of work, well con-
structed, nicely modeled and ex-
pressive, and it-takes its place well
among the works in this gallery
by sculptors of more experience
and greater reputation,’ And this
froma southern white woman,
who found it impossible to win
for Mrs. Jackson membership in
the Washington Society of the
Fine Arts, because she has Negro
blood! The National Academy of
Design, which exhibited the Dust
of Kelly “Miller, Negro educator
and author, sent a messenger to
escertain whether the artist was
colored and thereafter extended
her no more invitations.
Field Untouched
“Here, then, is a woman who
has achieved in a field untouched
by any sculptor. Her work has
the elements of intrinsic. worth.
She is sincere. She has a subject
of universal appeal and a message
which she has expressed adequately
and with originality. She knows
her subject. Shunning the easier
role of posing as.a white artist,
she has elected to give her life to
this work, unpopular though it be.
Where else can one find busts of
Gntelligent Negroes? I have seen
fone in London, nor in Amsterdam,
nor in Paris,—of course none in
America. It is the African in his
primitive beauty that one finds in
the art galleries of the world. ‘The
composite group of American Ne-
groes has not yet been recognized
as a people in whom intellect, as
well as sensuality, exists in a’va-
riety of interesting forms, The
experiences of Mrs. Jackson, whose
work will live after her in spite of
the isolation and spiritual suifer-
ing which have been hers, are
splendid material for short story
writing. Neither white nor colored
America is yet ready to accept her
interpretation of the race prob-
Jem.’

G.0.P. VICTORY IS
DOOM FOR HOWARD
Mississippi Leaders Renew
Effort to Oust Commit-
teeman After Large
Poll .
|, JACKSON, Miss.—Because of a
factional disagreement two sets of
Republican electors were on_ the
official ballot and under a ruling,
Tuesday, by the Attorney General
and Secretary of State the ballots,
in so far as electorial votes were
concerned, were counted as if three
ere candidates were in the field.
¢ official ballot carried no party
designation over the electors, the
Democratic heading the ballot, with
the lily white Republican electors
of the Sheldon faction next, and
those of the faction led by Perry
W. Howard at the bottom.
Largest Poll
White Republicans, Wednesday,
freely indicated that the regime of
Perry Howard, national commit-
teeman, is near an end, and that
Lamont Rowland, who’ acted as
chairman of the ways and means
committee of the party, will be
recognized by the national commit-
tee before the end of the year.
‘The Republicans got thelr larg:
est vote since 1870 with 22,000 for
Hoover and 98,000 for Smith. It
was rumored around Jackson that
an entire state ticket will be of-
fered by the Republican party three
years hence.
WIFE SUPPORTED
MAN--GHARGE
Charging that for the past
three years his wife, Mrs. Olive
J. Brown, has been supported
end maintained by Mac MeWil-
liams, James W. Brown, 1431 8
street, northwest, last Wednes-
day, asked the District Supreme
Court to grant him an absolute
divorce. He names McWilliams
as the corespondent.
In his bill of complaint file
through poe ae H. Wilson
Brown alleges that his wife an
the corespondent are living to
gether at No. 1716 U street, north
west. From June, 1927, to Jan
uary, 1928, théy lived together a
‘the Whitelaw Hotel, Brown charg.
es,
The only occupation of his wife
at this time, he say., is housekeep-
ing for the corespondent, who
maintains her, dresses her, and
gives her spending change.”
Brown and his wife lived at 905
Westminster street, northwest, un-
til May 15, 1924, he claims, when
she deserted him. They were mar.
ried in Pautucket, R.L, November
5, 1917.
Before her desertion, Brown
states, his wife used viled and abu-
sive language to him and refused
to perform the duties of a wife.

800K CHANGED AFTER PROTEST
Armstrong Principal Objected to Use of Word "Nigger" in Pub-
lication
G. David Houston, principal of the Armstrong Technical High school, is in receipt of a letter of apology from the John C. Winston Company, Philadelphia publishers, for an insult to the Negro race which the recent publication, "The Pilgrim's Progress to Culture," carried. The letter to Mr. Houston, in addition to apologizing for the use of the objectionable term, assured him that the book containing it would be immediately called in and another, without the slur, released in its place.
"The Pilgrim's Progress to Culture" is one of a series of new publications marketed by the Grolier Society, publishers of "Books of Knowledge," and "Books of History." It was distributed among those who had previously made purchases of the society. Mr. Houston was one of the recipients.
While in the act of reviewing the publication, the Armstrong principal came across the following sentence, appearing under the sub-title, "The Art of Conversation" "most people born with a tongue between their teeth know how to talk more or less, but between talk and conversation there is much difference as between the beating of a nigger's tom-tom and a fantasia on the piano by a Paderewski." After having first brought the matter to the attention of Prof. Neville H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Mr. Houston forwarded a letter of protest to the Grolier Society, who in turn referred his communication to the Winston Company.
Immediately the letter of apology was forthcoming from the office of the publisher, and a proof of the revised page of the book inclosed. The new page substituted the word "savage" in the place of the objectionable reference.

Internal Health by Nature's Own Methods
If you are sick inside you are sick all over. When the stomach fails to digest its food, you are standing at the threshold of a series of aliments that may end in a complete physical wreck. Internal health means health throughout the body. Keep your stomach and other digestive organs clean and vigorous by giving them the natural stimulation of the roots, barks and herbs contained in Tanlac.
Tanlac is wonderful for indigestion and constipation—gas, pains, nausea, dizziness and headaches. It brings back lost appetite, helps you digest your food, and gain strength and weight.
Tanlac is as free from harmful drugs as the water you drink. It contains mineral drugs; it is made of roots, barks and herbs; nature's own medicines for the sick. For over 10 years it has been recommended by drummists who have watched its marvelous results. The cost is less than 2 cents a dose. Get a bottle of Tanlac from your drummist and give it a thorough trial. Your money back if doesn't help you.

WANT NEW BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL
The legislative committee of the Board of Education, of which Henry Gilligan is chairman, is being urged to include in its draft of a new five-year building program for the public schools of the District of Columbia an item for the purchase of a site and the erection of a new building for the Cardozo (business) high school.
PLAYGROUND URGED
The Colored Union Benevolent Association in a letter to the commissioners of the District of Columbia and Charles F. Carusi, president of the Board of Education, is urging the District to purchase five acres of land at Garfield school for playground purposes.
CADETS HONOR HEROES

JOHN R. HAWKINS THANKS VOTERS
Head of Republican National Committee Says There Is No Cause for Bitterness
Declaring that the election of Herbert Hoover to the presidency ushered in a new era in the progress and advancement of the Negro, Dr. John R. Hawkins, chairman of the Colored Voters' Division of the Republican National Committee, expressed his appreciation today for the organized effort and public support, which had made the work of the Negro Division a success.
Dr. Hawkins said: 'Whatever we have been able to accomplish in winning votes for Hoover and Curtis in this campaign has been the result of the fine team work and loyal spirit of my associate workers in the campaign. I greet you with this message of thanks, and rejoice with you over the splendid victory achieved in the election of Hoover and Curtis, as well as that of the successful Republican candidates in various states."
No Bitterness
"The people have spoken and we accept their verdict. Our campaign was pitched on a high plane, and we fought our battles in the open without malice and free from mud-slinging. There is no cause for rancor or bitterness anywhere."
HOWARD U. SUED

yond that he made no statement.
In choosing the firm of Colladay & Colladay, he went outside the faculty of the law school, which has on it members of the judiciary as well as leaders at the District of Columbia bar.
Outstanding Lawyers
The Howard University law faculty includes Chief Justice Fenton W. Booth of the United States Court of Claims, who is the dean of the law school; Judge James A. Cobb, of the Municipal Court, vice dean of the school of law; Dion Scott Birney, William L. Houston, Charles Vernon Imlay, James Petter Schick, Edward Stafford, the son of Justice Wendell P. Stafford of the District Supreme Court; James C. Waters, Jr., secretary of the law school and full-time professor; George E. C. Hayes, former associate of Judge Cobb in the active law practice; Charles Hamilton Houston, Gilbert L. Hall, of the law firm of Clephane and Latimer, and Earl Alexander.
Was Ousted
Smith bases his court action on the ground that he entered into a contract with the university. He claims that he paid his tuition and all fees required of him and was permitted to register and attend classes. At the end of a week he was handed a letter from Dean Edward A. Balloch of the medical school requesting him to withdraw. He refused. President. Johnson struck his name from the rolls of the university.
Others Await Outcome
There are three other boys, 'Red' Anderson, James Goodwin and James Washington, awaiting the outcome of the suit brought by "Tick" Smith. If the court should order him reinstated, they will bring similar suits to writs of mandamus to compel their attendance in the medical school. If they are successful, thirteen other boys, whose names are ahead of "Tick" Smith's on the waiting list, will file suits to gain admission in the medical school.
The number of students admitted to the freshman class in the medical school is 60. This quota had been obtained when "Tick" Smith was permitted to register and attend classes, university officials say.
MORE SHIPWRECK
(Continued from page 1)
orice, a quartermaster on the Vestris.
Alfredo Ramos, young Argentine swimming star, who was rescued after swimming and floating 14 hours, said the quartermaster saved 20 lives.
"That little Negro did what the officers of the Vestris failed to do," said Ramos, who was rescued by the Berlin.
"He took charge of boat No. 14 and not only saved the passengers, but occasionally jumped out to catch an oar or helpless passenger floating in the water. By the time the American shipper picked up the boat, he had saved 20 lives."
Modest Hero
"I cannot say that the officers of the Vestris could be praised for their endeavors to save us. The quartermaster was the only member of the crew who exerted himself in our behalf," was the assertion made by Ramos. Quartermaster Licorice sat unnoticed swinging his legs on the rail of the American shipper, until he was introduced to newspaper men by Ramos as a hero of the rescue. Fifteen Negro passengers were reported lost.
DUNBAR BANK TO
NEW YORK CITY.—The Dunbar National Bank of this city, announced, last week, through Roscoe Conkling Bruce, former assistant superintendent of Washington public schools, that the institution is about to inaugurate a new policy in an effort toward further efficiency. The plan is to employ qualified Negro men and women who are willing to pursue courses in banking, school fashion, while thus employed.
Bruce at present is the only colored director of the bank. At the same time he is resident manager of the Dunbar apartments, erected a 150th street and Eighth avenue by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in which the bank is located. Joseph D. Higgins, former vice-president of the American Exchange, Irving Trust Co., is president of the bank, and George C. Loomis, former asistant auditor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, is its cashier. The thrift, receiving and paying tellers, bookkeeper, vault custodian and special officers of the bank are colored.
INSURANCE MANAGERS'
ASSOCIATION MEETS
The District of Columbia Insurance Managers' Association has resumed its weekly luncheon meetings, the first of which for the fall and winter season was held on Thursday, October 25. The association meets each Thursday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock for the purpose of exchanging ideas with the view of increasing the general efficiency of each agency organization, and to make more efficient the service rendered the many thousands of policyholders now insured in colored companies in Washington.
At the meeting held Thursday, November 8, Mr. Elder, supervisor of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company led a discussion of the subject, "Selling the Job to the Man," which provoked a very lively and helpful discussion, since it is one of the problems of the manager to find men and women who possess the necessary prerequisites for the development of life insurance salesmen.
The association is again this year co-operating with the public school officials by supplementing the course in life insurance salesmanship with a series of practical lectures delivered by each manager. This course was introduced last year, with the association co-operating, as an experiment, but it proved to be both popular and practical and so, this year, it has been made a part of the night school curricula with credits granted as for other courses.
The membership of the association is composed of the managers of the various insurance companies of the District of Columbia, who represent the following companies: National Benefit Life, Chas. S. Elder, agency supervisor, Tecumseh Bradshaw, ordinary department manager and B. V. Lawson, manager of the mixed department; North Carolina Mutual Life, Chas. H. Fearing, district manager; Victory Life, J. Percy Bond, agency supervisor and Leroy Thornton, district manager; Supreme Life and Casualty Company, William Stevenson, District manager; Southern Aid Society of Virginia, John E. Hall, district manager; Richmond Beneficial Insurance Company, George S. Johnson, district manager. The president of the association is J. Percy Bond.
A unique feature of the weekly meetings is that each manager is required for a period of a month to serve as chairman, both at the luncheon and at the business meetings which follow. As each monthly chairman is required to conduct his own program, this feature has served to create new ideas. From time to time, the association has allied itself with civic work in the city.
LINCOLN COACH OUT
(Continued from page 1) system of physical education as well as to the poor showing of the Lincoln football team, last season. The faculty, alumni, and student body are said to have been dissatisfied with the methods of Dr. Morrison, in dealing with his players. It is also asserted that the former coach did not live up to his contract which called for the establishment of a department of physical education.
Was Howard Coach
Dr. Morrison is a graduate of Tufts College, where he was a star on the gridiron. He re-entered the game as a coach at Howard University. He served in that capacity prior to the advent of Louis L. Watson, and later in 1924 he served in the place of Watson, whom fraternity politics and scandal had temporarily ousted. Following his departure from the Hilltop school, Dr. Morrison opened dental offices in the capital, in which practice he was engaged when he was called to Lincoln to succeed the late Ulysses S. Young.
Gets Full Pay
The contract of Dr. Morrison was not to expire until next September, but with the decision of the Pennsylvania school officials to dismiss him, the former coach was paid in full. He is now at Ithaca, N.Y., where it is said the contemplates resuming his professional practice.

HOWARD WOMEN
HOLD DINNER
The seventh annual Howard Women's dinner was held in the dining hall of the University on Friday evening. Over three hundred and twenty-five women students, alumnae and friends sat at a long "H" shaped table symbolic of the Unity of all Howard women. The speaker of the evening was Mrs. Louise Johnson Lovett of the class of 1926, who made a deep impression on the women assembled by her appeal to them to add to their technical training that love and sympathy for their fellow men which alone can enable them to serve effectively human needs. Dean Slowe read a number of telegrams and messages from graduates all over the country. Special music was furnished by Mrs. Vivian King Bright, class of 1927, and the Women's Chorus under the direction of Miss Camille Nickerson, of the School of Music. Miss Jacque Wright, of the class of 1928 was chairman of the committee of arrangements.

VERSARY
ON November 25th next, this Company marks the thirtieth anniversary of its founding. The little ten by twelve office of thirty years ago has been multiplied an amazing number of times. Has grown into the "greatest Negro business enterprise in the world". This success has not come by chance. It is not the result of luck. It has come about through wise leadership and the strictest attention to the greatest good of the greatest number. It has come through providing insurance protection which is liberal, which is progressive, and which is planned to fit the needs and the pocketbooks of all classes of our people—whether their place be farm or fireside, office, workshop or mill. Leadership, plus industry, plus the highest ideals of service to the Race—these are some of the reasons why the National Benefit stands first among all Negro companies on its thirtieth anniversary. Certainly, we have good reason to celebrate this occasion.
And we are celebrating it . . . in the most fitting manner possible. We are celebrating it by the issuance of the new Seven Point Anniversary Policy, the most liberal, the most progressive insurance policy which we have seen in all these thirty years. In it are embodied the fruits of our experience. Under its provisions, for one small premium, you obtain protection in amounts from $1,000 to $5,000, with an endowment feature in addition. Under its provisions, for one small premium, you are substantially protected against practically every hazard of life.
There is a National Benefit branch office or representative conveniently near you. Ask him to explain this Anniversary Policy in detail, or write us at the Home Office.

The man was offered conveyance to Providence Hospital by a passing autoist, but he refused. His condition is said to be not serious.

Poking his chin out just a trifle too far during a friendly sparring match at his home, caused Lawrence James, 23 years old, of 1922 Thirteenth street, northwest, to seek medical aid at Freedmen's Hospital.
LOOKING 'EM OVER WITH ACY SPORTS EDITOR
Local institutions, organizations and promoters who are endeavoring to commercialize on athletics seem all to be approaching their objective in a manner that is radically wrong. This seems to be true from university football (the best paying sport played and capitalized hereabout) to sandlot baseball where passing the hat makes it the poorest "draw."
Exhorbitant admission prices, failure to utilize the few facilities and accommodations offered to the best advantage, bad policies in advertising, and the desire and determination to win at any cost, seem to be the most outstanding among the obstacles placed in the way of the promoters, by themselves.
Until a working public is educated to the belief that it will be able to see better football when Howard and Lincoln or Howard and Tuskegee play, it will be useless for the promoters of such games to cater to anything but the "leisure class"—or to the type which attends such games purely for social purposes. It seems but reasonable that the toll-worn individual, who wishes to break the continuity of his monotonous grind at work, will seek recreational diversion. But as long as that individual feels that he can obtain the same results at a municipal field or public gymnasium that he would get by going to a stadium or hall, the free proposition is going to get the call.
To pay a dollar and more for entrance into an enclosure where seats are not to be had or where the absence of press-box accommodations require the presence of reporters on the field of play—continually obstructing the vision of "ront-room-seats"—is not acceptable to the cash customer who attends for the purpose of seeing the game—not to be seen. This same individual is disgusted, after having spent a large per cent of his allowance or budget, he looks on at a contest which fall sprovokingly far below its promise in the advertisement preceding it.
To add insult to injury this same "paid admission"—who in many instances has left his fireside and newspaper or radio where he could have rested comfortably and read or listen unmolested—static excluded—to a good scrap between fellows paid for fighting—must bear with several fist fights on the parts of opposing players. When I write this, I'm reminded of the time three weeks ago when West Virginia beat Howard in the FOOTBALL GAME. Of course I didn't pass through the turnstile by means of finance, but I should certainly liked to have had about 49 of the "paid admissions" who felt as I did about the way the Blue and White players slugged and kicked and kneed and even bit the Mountaineer gridders simply because they were losing. I'd be willing to wager the Bisons would have been buffaloed. Three years ago a policy was inaugurated by a local promoter, whereby women are admitted to his park on a certain day free of charge. The idea was put into practice three years ago. Today more women understand fully and PAY to see the sport than have been known to attend such contests in the history of the sport. That promoter was willing to suffer financially while teaching those who in a few years have enabled him to capitalize on their education.
The abolition of exhilarant prices will bring more people out to learn and understand what they are looking at. Having established a "gate," the promoter is able to improve on what he is selling. Better accommodations, more comfort, and attractions that will live up to their advertisement will be the result.
Until the players themselves, however, are educated to the fundamental principles of sport competition—win or lose, play the game—the public will have to stomach such disgraceful proceedings as occurred during the university football game. When the promoters demand that the players present a GAME instead of a FIGHT, their consumers will be better pleased.
In starting at the bottom of the ladder and sacrificing a little of the so-called "quality" in their attractions, the promoting geniuses will find it can be done. A good prescription, I believe, would call for the little teams who PLAY THE GAME; in continual doses until the big teams, who feel they must win at all costs, learn they can be done without.

PAINE SCORES OVER CLAFLIN ELEVEN
AUGUSTA, Ga.—Paine College maintained her winning streak over the Claflin Panthers and for the fourth time in as many seasons defeated the opposing aggregation in a hectic struggle by a 12-7 score. Coming from behind after the Claflin aggregation had piled up a 7-0 lead, the Paine Lions roared and clawed, ripped and tore their way through the crumbling Claflin eleven to victory. The game was thrilling throughout and the spectators were brought to their feet more than once by the sensational runs of Bowman and Washington, of Paine, and Murray and Knight of Claflin.
The Armstrong Technical High School football warriors battled the strong Union High School eleven to a scoreless draw in their annual Inter-State High School Athletic Conference meeting at Howard University Stadium, here last Friday.
Time and again the chesty aggregation from the Virginia institution threatened to break the monotony of a zero-all pastime, but on each occasion the flexible Tech defense rose to its peak as impenetrable. The local school was seriously handicapped by the loss of several of its stars, but the players who were eligible, and who did play showed that fight and team spirit will bring good results, even against odds.

For the second time this season, the crack Alexander Roamer grid machine conquered the local Ebenezer eleven. The score was 8-6, and the battle was fought before a huge crowd at 4½ and Maine streets, Sunday.
Washington sandlot fans are loud in their condemnation of the unfair treatment accorded the Roamers.
The Roamers are hard pressed for games, since no local teams are anxious to meet this crack team.

BLUEFIELD, W. Va. — With "Beany" Drew displaying one of the greatest punting exhibitions seen on a West Virginia gridiron for many years, Coach Harry Jefferson's Bluefield Collegiate Institute e'ven trounced the crack West Virginia Yellowjackets to the tune of 13-0 here last Saturday before a crowd that literally jammed every inch of the Beeye Bowl. The stellar Big Blue end, by placing his kicks well, keeping them between the Yellowjackets five- and ten-yard lines, shared with his captain, Ted Gallion the honor that is due the 1927 champions for stopping the heretofore unbeaten Mountaineer gridders.

Breaking through the Douglass High School line to tackle "Mickey" McDaniels, Baltimore back, behind his own goal line, "Horse" Gilmore, stellar Red and Black end, crowned himself with glory in bringing a 2-0 victory to the staggering Dunbar High School grid team, at Griffith Stadium, here last Friday. The local team, facing seemingly unconquerable odds by reason of their season of continuous setbacks, fought the Oriole aggregation to a standstill. Minns, doing the punting for the Poets, had somewhat the best of the duel with Doran, Douglas kicker. Lyons who called signals for the First Street School showed good judgment, and took advantage of the breaks afforded by the stronger visiting machine's fumbles.
Three days of celebration of the Homecoming exercises at Wilberforce University will be featured by the football contest between the Virginia Union Eleven and the Wilberforce gridders, slated for Saturday.
Bison Aerial Attack Wins From Georgia Eleven
Marshall, Coles and Simpson Figure in West's "Screen Pass" Attack Which Completely Bewilders Atlantans. Ross Shows Form in Broken Field Runs.
ATLANTA, Ga.—Staging a game uphill fight the Howard University Bisons emerged the victor in the first setback of the sensor of the cagey Atlanta University football team, here last Saturday by a score of 13-7. Led by Captain Hose Ross, whose sensational play along with Jack Coles at halfback was a feature of the affair, the Capital City aggregation completely outclassed Coach Alken's Crismon Hurricane.
A forward pass, completed behind their goal line, but which the ampire ruled had been caught while the receiver was out of bounds, was disallowed as an Atlanta touchdown. The decision was protested by the A. U. mentor, and an intention of taking it up at the next meeting of the Southern Coaches' Association was announced.
The Atlantans scored first. A forward pass, Edwards to Wiggins, accounted for the touchdown. The latter then kicked goal for the extra point, placing his team 7 points in the van. This lead was good for the remainder of the quarter, but in the second period the visitors launched an aerial attack, the deception of which kept the Crimson players completely baffled. Harry Payne, barking signals for the Blue and White machine, repeatedly called for passes. Marshall doing the heaving was the usual figure of accuracy. His totes to Coles on the famous Howard "screen pass," were unfathomable in so far as the Alken cohorts were concerned. These passes, sandwiched in between a series of brilliant broken field spurts by Ross, were the real weapons by which the Atlanta lead was overcome.
Dennie Simpson, versatile wingman of the Bison flock, was also in the limelight. It was his catching of a pass just before the end of the half that placed the

BALTIMORE, Md.—Morgan College took Bordentown Institute into camp by the score of 30 to 0, here last Saturday.
Morgan's second string started the game, and during the first quarter neither team had any decided advantage. At the beginning of the second quarter the first string line-up went into the game in a body. They got going rather slowly and the second quarter produced only one score. Hicks pushed this over after a steady advance from Morgan's own 35 yard line. The pass for point failed.

When the Armstrong Technical High School football team engages the fast, scrappy aggregation of football tossers representing the Peabody High School, Petersburg, Va., at the Howard University Stadium, here this afternoon, local fans will be in for a treat extraordinaire. Both elevens are battling for the Interstate High School Athletic Conference title for 1928. Both coaches, Westmoreland, of Armstrong, and Galloway, of Peabody, are adherents of the open style of play. With this in view the game is expected to go to the team best equipped with a speedy running attack and aerial game.
In the event of a tie between Armstrong and Peabody this Friday, Peabody high will of course be declared the champion of the Inter-State High School Athletic Conference, when the coaches and officials meet in their first annual meeting in Richmond, Va., Saturday, December 1, 1928.

WHITMAN DOES THE UNUSUAL IN REVUE
Tap Dancing Chorines Stop Show; Billy Higgins and Johnny Lee Long Funny
You who think originality on the etstag is completely dead would do well to see "Fancy Trimmings," headed by Ernest Whitman at the Howard, this week.
Mr. Whitman succeeds in doing things different, if not much better than most producers who have been here this season. His first departure from the sterotype comes the raising of the curtain when he opens the revue with a single spot instead of allowing the chorus to work the audience up with a blaze of glory and pep, considered among showfolk essential. The number uniquely presented is "King for a Day."
Galaxy of Stars
Surrounding Mr. Whitman are a number of talented performers who fit well into his scheme of things. Billy Higgins and Johnny Lee Long handle the comedy situations and Cooper and Thomas, old favorites, score with their singing and dancing routine. Miss Audrey Thomas has a pleasing voice, but does not succeed so well with her yodeling. Putney Dandridge, formerly of the Drake and Walker Company, appears at the piano with Miss Nattley Long. Miss Long was not very convincing in this number, but succeeded nicely in her rendition of "My Castles in Spain." Several jubilee selections by a good chorus were introduced with good results. Katherine Patterson, a girl with naughty eyes, puts a bit of personality into her songs and a clever chorus presents an ensemble tap dance that stops the show. Three dancing boys in a skit "Headed for Harlem," are good on their feet, but introduce

Two Little Houses on Way to
Child-brides Who Gave Up Pots and Pans for Footlights Meeting with Success
Two little housewives who deserted the pots and pans for the bright lights are now well on their way to stardom. They are petite Fannie Cotton and Joyce Robinson, who appeared here last week with Leonard Harper's Revue.
"Itit was our fault," both declared, "that their marital venture panned out unsuccessful. Friend hubby was to blame in both cases. "And then too," both admitted, "we married rather young."
Hubby Grew Mean
Little Mrs. Cotton, who for the past year and a half has been a star of Club Kentucky at Broadway and 49th street, was reared in a New Jersey town, a mere subway ride from the great white way, and there she essayed to be nothing more pretenuous than a little high school girl. Completing her course at 16, she a short while later entered into holy wedlock. A little son was born. And then sobs the little wife, "M! husband grew mean and wouldn't support me, so I just went on the stage and supported myself." She is just 18 now.
Mrs. Robinson's experience was almost identical. She tried her hand at the domestic life in Chicago. Things went wrong, so she took to the cabarets. Life here wao strenuous so she abandoned the thought of a stage career. Later with three other young women she tried vaudeville with some success. Her real chance came, however, when she teamed with Miss Rookie Davis, also of Chicago, and formed the act of Topsy and Eva, Miss Davis, working under cork. The novelty of their act has won them constant bookings and they are much in demand by producers.

tion and the English say he can never leave. The song that has made him famous is "Roll Away Clouds." He is doing an important role in the great London musical comedy "Virginia."
D. C. Actress Ran Away As Doctors Waited
When doctors in the French Hospital in New York entered the operating room to remove the appendix of Miss Bee Foote, musical comedy star, they found the table deserted and the little actress gone. "I just lost my nerve," declared Miss Foote, who for two years was an entertainer at Club La Boheme, here, but now a member of the "Monkey Shines" Company. That was several months ago. Since then Miss Foote mustered the courage and had the annoying appendix removed. When she appeared at the Howard Theatre last week, it was her first return to the stage after an absence of eight months.
BE BURLESQUE ON NEGRO
GREENVILLE, Miss. — Race leaders here, after hearing rumors that drift from the list where King Vidor with a number of colorful actors is filming "Hallelujah," fear the picture will be another burlesque on the race, instead of the creditable drama it was first announced. Among the actors chosen by Vidor to take the lead in the play are Daniel Haynes, who has been with Florenze Ziegfeld's "Show Boat." Honey Brown, who has been dancing star at the Club Harlem, New York City, and Florence Belle de Knight. In his search for types Vidor made tests in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

Star of "Singing Fool" Once Lived Among Negroes In Washington
HAS MADE MILLION
Does it pay to be black? Al Jolson, burnt cork artist, appearing this week at the Republic Theatre in the "Singing Fool," will testify in the affirmative. Jolson has made a cool million as a black face comedian.
Besides the fortune he has accumulated on the stage and in motion pictures, Jolson stands to receive around $75,000 from his double Brunswick record of "Sonny Boy," and "There's a Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder.' He's drawing a straight 10 per cent on each record that's sold.
These two numbers are the hits of the show and can be heard at Reid's Corner.
How He Became Blackface
Jolson tells an interesting story of how he came to adopt his black-face makeup for stage work, and what a decided effect it had on his early success.
"I was appearing in vaudeville," Jolson says, "and while I had attained a measure of success, I was not creating the riotous enthusiasm that I wanted to create. I began casting about for the solution of this puzzling problem, but found myself unable to arrive at a definite decision as to just what was needed.
Lived Here
"Finally the solution came from an entirely unexpected source. While living in Washington, D.C., in the midst of Negroes, I had often imitated their dialect. At the time I was playing an engagement in Brooklyn, and had an aged Negro to assist me in dressing. "Boss," said he, one night, 'why don't you put some black on yo' face? Why don't you sing yo' songs all blacked up that-a-way. That always makes 'em laugh."
Made Instant Hit
"I got some burnt cork, and put on a rehearsal for the benefit of the old man. In his opinion, I was an unqualified success. 'Mistah Jolson,' he said, beaming, 'you is just as funny as me.' "Following this, I tried out the experiment on a theatre audience, and the change was so well received that I have clung to the characterization ever since."

Song Hit of "Blackbirds"
Was Thought Failure
Seldom in the history of show business has a song had the dramatic background that "I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby," hit melody in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928," is now enjoying. Written by Dorothy Fields, daughter of the veteran actor and producer, Lew Fields; and Jimmy McHugh, it appeared doomed to failure until Lew Leslie saw in it the possibilities which have made it the most sensational song hit of the last five years.
Contrary to the custom followed by Miss Fields, she thought of the title of the song before a bar of music had been written for it. Jimmy McHugh was so impressed by the title he wrote the first draft of the melody the same afternoon and finished the final draft the following night. "Delmar's Revels" was about to open at the time and in search of a hit number for the show accepted this song. For reasons that are still unexplainable, the number failed to register and was withdrawn from the show before the Broadway premiere. The disappointed authors discarded the number and turned to other material.
Several months later Lew Leslie contracted with them to write the music and lyrics of "Blackbirds." The score was completely turned out when Leslie asked them to write what he termed "A croning ballad that could also be used as a dance number."

GEORGE BANCROFT
AT DUNBAR THEATRE
George Bancroft, Evelyn Brent, and William Powell will be shown in "The Dragett," an all-powered fledged excitement picture, at the Dunbar Theatre, for two days, Friday and Saturday. Step into "The Drag Net," Paramount's great drama of the Underworld. A murder trial is on. The noose is tightening about the neck of Monk Castoni, leader of the underworld. The witness—a former member of the gang—takes the stand, ready to squeal. Crack! A shot rings out from nowhere. The witness crumples to the floor. This is the beginning of the story in which George Bancroft captures honors for his dramatic portrayal of the hardened, iron-fisted Detective Nolan.

A FIRST RUN PICTURE AT THE BROADWAY
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the Broadway will present for the first showing in Washington, Jack London's "Prowlers of the Sea". The picture deals with gun snugglers and a Cuban vampire and is filled with action and intrigue. The cast includes Ricardo Cortez, Carmel Myers and George Fawcette. For Tuesday and Wednesday, Norma Talmadge will be seen in the world's renowned classic drama "Camille." Friday and Saturday, two features will be presented—Richard Dix in his latest offering, "Warming Up", which was recently shown at the Lincoln, and a Tiffany Special, "Ladies of the Night Club." Coming soon, "Ben Hur."
ANDREW TRIBBLE AT HOWARD NEXT WEEK
For the week beginning Monday, November 19, the Howard management is presenting "Andrew Tribble" in his greatest character presentation, "Ophelia Snow" from Baltimore." The Theatre goers have long remembered Mr Tribble for this characterization and the entire production is woven around him. Supporting Andrew Tribble will be seen such outstanding artists as Billie Mitchell, Hazel Lee Trio, the Brooks Sisters, and many others too numerous to mention at this time. Also a large and beautiful chorus of snappy dancers.
The screen attraction for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be "Mid-night Madness," starring Clive Brook, as king of the underworld, supported by Jacqueline Logan. It is the story of the secretary to a diamond broker who marries one of her employers' customers. It shows the heroic struggle of the husband to win his wife's love. The picture was adapted by Robert N. Lee, from the stage play "The Lion Trap."
For Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there will be seen William Haines in "Excess Baggage."
Josephine Dunn, the comic in "Excess Baggage" who becomes a movie star, is a newcomer who should go a long way.
Friday night, big midnight ramble will be held.
Wednesday night will be known as "Opportunity Night," at which time the contestants will be awarded three cash prizes as selected by the audience.
Saturday night will be gift night at which time the holders of the lucky tickets will be given a hand-some gift which they will long cherish and remember.

Charles Farrell in "Fazil" At the Lincoln Theatre
Charles Farrel is promised in a totally different type of characterization in the title role of "Fazil," the new Fox film which will be presented at the Lincoln Theatre for five days, beginning Saturday, November 17.
In this production Farrell, co-featured with Gerta Nissen, portrays a man of great self-will, but it is quite distinct from the cocksure confidence of Chico in "Seventh Heaven," or the dreamy aspirations of Gino in "Street Angel."
As part of his new characterization Farrell appears with a moustache a striking departure for this young star, who has hitherto appeared clean-shaven in all his pictures. The hirsute adornment is considered to lend a new aspect to his face.
In this screen adaptation of Pierre Frondale's play, "L'Insoumise," he is made the motivating force for a dramatic struggle between the convictions of East and West. He moves through Venice, where he captures the first woman who has ever moved his heart; through Paris, where he takes her on his honeymoon, and through Arabia, where the conflict that inevitably ferments between the pair moves to its end.
To further embellish the program for Saturday, Sunday and Monday only the Fox Movietone news will be added.
From Saturday to Wednesday, inclusive, there will be heard as well as seen on the Movietone the latest act of those well-known colored entertainers, Miller and Lyles, in "The Mayor of Jimtown."
On Thursday and Friday, November 22 and 23, the feature attraction will be "The Night Flyer," starring William Boyd and Jobyna Ralston. This production has all those elements that embrace fine screen entertainment—fast melodrama, thrills and appeal.
On Thursday and Friday, there will be a complete change of Vitaphone acts, as it is the policy of the management to make complete change of Vitaphone acts with each change of photoplay.
AL JOLSON HELD OVER FOR SECOND AND FINAL WEEK
"You ain't seen nothing yet." That seemed to be the general opinion of the many thousands who had witnessed Al Jolson in "The Singing Fool," expressed to the many thousands who couldn't get in the Republic to see this picture during its first week's engagement. And because the crowds have been so enormous, we are compelled to hold over this picture for a second and final week, starting Saturday, November 17. However, this is positively your last chance to see "The Singing Fool." It will not be shown at any

other theatre with Vitaphone. Not only is Al Jolson revealed as the world's greatest entertainer in "The Singing Fool," but this picture stamps him as a great dramatic star.
He reaches the depths of tragedy as the father who has become estranged from his son because of an unfaithful wife. At the last meeting between Jolson and Sonny Boy the height of pathos is reached. Three-year-old Davey Lee, as Sonny Boy, Josephine Dunn as the wife, and Betty Bronson as the girl who stood by him, form a great supporting cast for Jolson.
