10 MISS EVELYN PREER, as she looked upon her last theatrical appearance here, who has been signed by the Paramount-Christie Concern to take the leading role in "The Melancholy Dame," one of the four big movies being produced in Hollywood. Class Rush Rushes Youth to Hospital After Scrimmage Melancholy Dame MISS EVELYN PRE last theatrical appearance by the Paramount-Christie fthe in "The Melancholy movies being produced in Student Battle Follows Bison Inter-class Football Much of the dignity of the sophomore was destroyed as the annual battle between members of the first- and second-year classes of Howard University was decided in favor of the underclassmen, last Saturday afternoon. The yearly football game, which was won by the freshmen, was, as usual, followed by the traditional fight between supporters of the two class teams, and this latter, to add insult to injury, was also won by the first year boys. Acting in accordance with an established custom, members of the two classes who had not participated in the football game, made a rush for Clark Hall, dormitory for the university male students. The sophomores, reaching there first, fought to defend it against the first-year students, who acknowledge that it is their duty to enter the hall against the wishes of the upperclassmen. No definite reason is given for this supposed desire. It is merely a tradition. In the fight which followed, one freshman, Nunley Keets, 16-year-old son of Samuel H. Keets, local real estate dealer, of 617 Florida avenue, northwest, sustained slight injuries which necessitated hospital attention. He was accompanied to Freedmen's Hospital by a companion, Milton Larry, where he was treated for a fractured right hand and lacerations of the lip, by Dr. Howard H. McNeill. RACE CONGRESS TO MEET HERE, JAN. 1 At a meeting of its national executive committee that was held here during the holidays, the National Equal Rights League and Race Congress of America, Rev. Geo. F. Miller, of New York, president, voted to hold the fourteenth annual race congress and twenty-first annual league meeting in Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Third and I streets, northwest, from the night of January 1 to January 3, 1929. It was also voted that the object should be to call all the races together on the paramount object of "Completing emancipation by the removal of all traces and continuances of slavery in race and color restrictions." ```markdown ``` 21 CHICKENS COST PAIR 180 DAYS Men Who Took Fowl for Thanksgiving Dinners Will Spend Christmas in Jail The theft of chickens, destined to be, used as Thanksgiving Day dinners, resulted in the sentencing of Herman Richardson and Elmer Neal, both of Anacostia, D.C., to 180 days in jail, by Judge Ralph Given, in Police Court, last Wednesday. The men were accused by police of taking 21 chickens, 10 of which belonged to Louis Gardner of Anacostia. The ownership of the others was not ascertained. Witnesses were produced who claim they saw Richardson and Neal carrying the chickens in burlap bags up Sheriff road on Thanksgiving day. Neal also was accused jointly with Cephas Banks, colored, of joyriding in an automobile of T. Gartley, 2507 Nichols avenue, southeast, but was acquitted of that charge when the only evidence produced against him was a statement by Banks, who was himself held for the action of the grand jury under bond of $1,000. Dr. Hawkins Under Knife NEW YORK CITY—John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and president of the Prudential Bank of Washington, is slowly recovering from an operation which he underwent here, this week. During the recent presidential campaign, Mr. Hawkins acted as chairman of the colored voters division of the Republican National Committee. ARE FRI WIFE ONE DAY ONLY SUICIDE PENS LETTERS TO COOLIDGE'S SIGNATURE IS AFFIXED BEFORE BILL IS RECALLED Bill to Legalize Federal Support Will Prevent Southern Senators' Objections Time played an important part in the saving of the Howard University appropriations bill when Senator Park Tramell, of Florida, recalled the bill for reconsideration and debate Thursday, a few minutes after President Coolidge had already attached his signature making the University a Federal unit. The Senate Monday passed the bill authorizing annual appropriations for Howard University. This measure was passed by the House at the last session. It now goes to the President for his signature. This bill will put a stop to the practice in the House of making points of order against items for Howard University in the Interior Department appropriation bill. Howard University items have generally been stricken out on the ground that they are not authorized by laws. The Senate invariably reinserted them in the bill and they have been approved in conference. The Federal Government has been making appropriations for Howard University since 1879. The items for Howard University yare: salaries, $25,000; general expenses, $95,000; supplies and equipment, $26,800; completing and equipping chemistry building, $240,000, and additional amount for dormitory for women, $40,000. The items for Fredricks Her The items for Freedman's Hos (Continued on page 2) CAR CLEANER STRUCK BY LOCOMOTIVE Struck by a yard engine of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., while working on the tracks near the New York avenue bridge, last Friday. Early C. Woods, 20 years old, a car cleaner employed by the Washington Terminal Co., was seriously injured. Wood was found unconscious by A. H. Marvil, of 1307 Emerson street, northeast, who took him to the emergency room at Union Station, where he was given first aid by Dr. C. W. Harnsberger, a terminal physician. He later was taken to Emergency Hospital, where he was treated by Dr. Ignatius Rutoski for a compound fracture of the left hand and wrist, internal injuries and shock. Wood lives at 316 I street, southeast. Thomas Drug Store Robbed The drug store of Dr. Vincent Thomas, located at Twelfth and You streets was broken in and robbed by some unknown party between the hours midnight and dawn, Sunday. $300 worth of jewelry which was on display in a case was the only object of the intruder's visit, as nothing else was disturbed. A furnace shaker with which the door and the case had been smashed was left by the burglar. BILL AIMED AT KU KLUXINTRODUCED Persons Conspiring to Intimidate Others Subject To Fine and Imprisonment A bill aimed at the Ku Klux Klan was introduced in the House by Representative Victor L. Berger, Socialist, of Wisconsin, December 6. The Berger measure is largely copied from the act sof 1870-71. Its principal objects are to enforce the rights of citizens of the United States, to protect them against intimidations and threats, and to punish conspiracies against their rights. Fine and Imprisonment The bill would make it a felony for any two or more persons to conspire together or go in disguise upon the public highway or the premises of another with the intent to prevent or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise and enjoyment of his rights as a citizen. The penalty would be a fine not to exceed $5,000 and imprisonment not to exceed 10 years. MOTHER OF S. H. DUDLEY BURIED MONDAY Funeral services for Mrs. Maggie Dudley, the mother of Sherman H. Dudley, the theatrical promoter, business man and sportsman, was held from the home of her son, 1219 Sixth street, northwest, Monday afternoon. Mrs. Dudley died at her son's farm, Oxon Hill, Md., where she made her home, December 6. She is survived by her son and a sister, Mrs. Malisie Knight, of Chester, Pa. Letters and telegrams of consolation were received by Mr. Dudley from all over the country, signed by members of the theatrical profession who have been associated with him during his long and varied career.

JURY HAS PERRY HOWARD'S CASE Jackson, Miss.—The case of Perry Howard, former Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi, and four other men indicted with him on charges of bartering Federal patronage is in the hands of the jury here. Final arguments were heard yesterday (Thursday) at 4:30 p.m. The trial began Monday. Defense counsel, Tuesday, laid the foundation for the impeachment of A. P. Russell by asking him on examination whether he had made statements to defense witnesses who were to be called later that he had almost unlimited funds with which to "frame the Negroes." Russell denied making the statement. The other defendants in the case with Howard are Dr. A. M. and S. D. Redmond, E. L. Patton and Scott Hubbard, the latter white. Under cross-examination Russell declared that he had dealt with all the defendants. Howard himself testified, Wednesday. He denied having received any money from A. P. Russell, white of Magee, Miss, for recommending him for the United States marshalship. Russell had testified on the opening day of the trial that he had given Howard $1,500 in the latter's office at 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, northwest, Washington, D.C., to become the United States marshal for the southern district of Mississippi. No Agreement Howard stated that F. S. Swalm, of Brookhaven, was his choice for the place, but he was informed by John Marshall, administrative assistant attorney general of the United States, that the Mississippi senators would oppose the confirmation of Swalm but that the appointment of Russell was acceptable to them. Thereupon, without any agreement with Russell, he stated, he recommended him for the office. HUSBAND DESERTED HER ON WEDDING NIGHT, WIFE SAYS IN SUIT MRS. JOYNER IS VICTOR IN SUIT Judgment Obtained Without Her Knowledge is Set Aside in Court Judge Nathan Cayton, in the municipal court of Columbia, last Monday, signed an order vacating a judgment obtained in this court against Mrs. Olivia B. Joyner by the General Contract Purchase Corporation, assignee of Electrical Homes, incorporated. Attorney J. Franklin Wilson represented Mrs. Joyner. The decision of Judge Cayton, it is believed, will end the practice of finance corporations obtaining confessed judgements against their clients without the knowledge of their clients. Bill Dismissed A clause in the contract signed by Mrs. Joyner empowered any attorney to appear for her in any court of record and confess judgment against her in favor of the holder of the contract for the amount due on the contract together with the cost of the suit and an attorney's fee of 15 per cent for collection. An attorney filed suit against her on the contract. His partner on the same day, signing himself as "attorney for the defendant", confessed judgment. This judgment was later filed in the District Supreme Court and an effort was made to sell her property to satisfy this judgment. Attorney Wilson opposed the sale, and the judgment creditor's bill was dismissed by Justice Hitzz. Associated with Attorney Wilson was Attorney Edmund M. Chaplin. FORD AGAIN HEADS MASONS Charles P. Ford, grand master of Masons, was re-elected head of that fraternity on Wednesday evening at the 80th annual session of the Masonic Grand Lodge, held at the Masonic Temple, Fifth street and Virginia avenue, southeast. Ford's election came by acclamation at the close of his annual address. All other present officers were unanimously re-elected, as follows: Albert Dotson, deputy grand master; James T. Diggs, senior grand warden; Joseph V. Getts, junior grand warden; Charles D. Freeman, grand secretary; Dr. William H. Jackson, grand treasurer. Appointive officers were re-appointed by the grand master. Officers will be installed at the continued session of the grand lodge on December 27.

Bride of Few Months Says Spouse Took French Leave on Honeymoon Her husband deserted her on their wedding night, Mrs. Catherine E. B. Johnson, 203 Virginia avenue, southwest, charges in her suit against Raymond N. Johnson, an employee of the Navy Yard, 137 L street, southeast. She asks the District Supreme Court to grant her separate maintenance. Mrs. Johnson declares in her bill of complaint that her husband left home on the day of their marriage. He did not return until the next day, she says. After spending the following night with her, she asserts, he again abandoned her coming back on four occasions. He definitely deserted her July 29, a month prior to the birth of their child, she states. Since their marriage he has only contributed a total of $65 toward her support, she charges. The couple were married March 27, last. They have one child. Attorneys Hayes and Davis represent Mrs. Johnson, in whose behalf the suit was filed by Mrs. Rachel Turner as next friend. IMPERSONAT'R OF FRIEND JAILED Man Who Pretended He Was Another to Obtain Licence Gets $300 Fine Caught in the act of attempting to obtain a motor vehicle's operator's permit for a friend who had paid him $15 in advance for his "favor." John Arthur Smith, 631 N street, northwest, a member of a popular local social club, was ordered by Judge John P. McMahon to pay a fine of $300 or serve 45 days in jail, last Thursday morning. According to the testimony of Traffic Bureau officials, Smith appeared at their office on November 28, swore he was Bailey, passed the tests and was given a 10-day permit. When he returned to get the permanent permit discrepancies in his statements had been discovered and he was arrested by Policeman Schrier. James Walter Carter, who posed as a licensed instructor for Smith, was also tried on the same charge, but sentence has not yet been imposed. Police are searching for Bailey.

CAPITAL EDITION NTS IN TWO SECTIONS SECTION ONE LIFE SUICIDE PENS LETTERS TO BOY FRIENDS Wedding Nears As Miner Girl Writes of a Previous "Affair," Then Takes Own Life Four letters, neatly written and addressed, three to individual friends and the fourth to "whom it may concern," failed to establish a definite motive for the suicide of Grace Eunice Owens, 19-year-old Miner Normal School junior, who ended her own life with a bullet in the heart, Monday afternoon. The letters, one to "Dear Joe," another to "Billy," and a third reading "Dear Agnes," were found on a table in the kitchen of the third floor apartment at 1706 Oregon avenue, northwest, where the girl lived with her mother, Mrs. Gertrude Owens. The girl herself law on the floor beside the table, a 38 calibre revolver less than two feet away from her prostrate body, when Miss Agnes Washington, a visiting girl friend from Stubenville, Ohio, discovered her, Miss Washington, for whom the note, "Dear Agnes" was meant, was ascending the stairs to the apartment when she heard the shot which ended the life of Miss Owens. Had Purchased Ring The "Joe" referred to is believed to be a Joseph Davis, to whom the young woman was engaged to be married. Davis and Miss Owens, according to police, had selected the diamond for their proposed betrothal only last Saturday. The letter to "Billy" is believed to have been directed to William Cook, a senior at a local high school, another friend of the girl. Each of the notes spoke of "an affair" with a man two years ago, police declare, but none of them is detailed enough to fully explain the relationship. One of them stated that she "had wrecked his life," but whether the man refer- JAMES CHILD NOT DEAD Confusion was caused by a statement in the last issue of the Tribune to the effect that James F. Child, of 1931 Eleventh street, northwest, was dead in a story of a court case brought by his wife and daughter. The sentence should have read that his second wife, mother of one of the contesting parties, was deceased and not Mr. Child. The Tribune regrets the error. MAN VICTIM OF OWN BURGLAR TRAP Opening the door of his garage at 2227 Ninth street, northwest, last Wednesday, William Overton, of that address learned that the product of an invention will, if not guarded against, work on the inventor equally as effectively as it will on an alien. Overton, having been the victim of several thefts of tires and tools from his garage recently, installed an apparatus for the purpose of making an intruder shoot himself. The pistol, which was concealed near the entrance, discharged as Overton, unmindfully opened the door and walked into the place. The man was shot through the hand. He went to Freedmen's Hospital, received medical attention and then returned home to remove and discard the invention.

PUT THE BOARD ON RECORD The proposal of Methodist ministers to present a petition to the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, asking the board to go on record as to its support of the moral fight of the Negro against disfranchisement, discrimination, etc., is a good one. This board has solicited the support of Negro preachers everywhere in their fight for the passage and enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. Their support was given generously. Now, these ministers think, and rightly so, that the time has come for the great and powerful Methodist Board to lend its support to the Negro's cause. If the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution is a moral issue, then surely the enforcement of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments which affect definitely the lives and liberty of human beings, is equally a moral question.

NEGRO QUESTIONS Answers to last week's questions: 1. In 1846, Moses Dickson and eleven free Negroes organized at St. Louis the Knights of Liberty for the purpose of over-throwing slavery. (Illustrated Feature Section, November 3, 1928; page 2, column 4.) 2. The second settler in Alabama was a Negro. He was a member of the De Soto expedition in 1540. He liked the country and settled among the Indians. (Illustrated Feature Section, November 3, 1928; page 2, column 4.) FORUM LAMENTS PASING OF HOW-ARD SPIRIT Dear Editor: In speaking of the football game I would like to express my opinion of so-called school spirit at Howard in relation or comparison to that displayed by the few loyal rooters representing Lincoln on Thanksgiving Day. I was more than surprised to notice the apparent lack of interest display by Howard rooters. I was seated in a box back of the dug-out nearest the entrance which put me closer to the Howard followers than it did to Lincoln, but I failed to notice any display of enthusiasm as is expected by Howard "being the home team and outnumbering Lincoln rooters at least five to one," whereas on the other side of the field the cry of "Hold that line," ets., would be distinctively heard and the yell starting with a whistle seemed to drown out the Howard spirit. What is the matter with us? Where is that good old Howard spirit? Respectfully yours, Frank Butler. ARTHUR HAS PARTY Arthur Mason West, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter W. West, 1526 U street, northwest, entertained a few of his young friends on Monday evening, the occasion being his fifth birthday. Following an evening of games, refreshments were served. Guests present included Evelyn Edmonston, Alma Lucas, Malissa Cooke, Elizabeth Allen, Harriet Clarke, Gladys Haley, Mary Bargsdale, Pauline Watts, Helen and Edna West, Jack Walker, Ralph Cooke, Harold Clarke, Rodney Lucas, George Harrod, James Wright, Carlisle, and the Allen brothers. A NEGRO LIFE In order to live a good "Negro" life, we must do things that are right to do. Some of the things are as follows: 1. Never say the word "nigger." 2. Go to school all you can, and don't have your name on the list with those who do not go. 3. Never start a fight or stand around a fight; do this because it is right. 4. Never use profane language. 5. Always try to up-hold your race—never try to pull it down. 6. Be on time at all times, and try not to get the name of being "slow." 7. Every time we use the word "nigger" we show lack of personel pride. 8. Never gossip about anybody. Jennie Taylor (11) 1017 3rd St., N.W.

MOVE ON TO BAR NEGRO SAILORS MOVE ON TO BAR NEGRO SAILORS Vestric Disaster Taken as Basis to Rid American Lines of Negro Seamen NEW YORK (CNS). — Big business is determined to further prosecute its historic persecution of the Negro worker. Taking advantage of the now discredited lies against the Negro members of the Vestris crew, James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel Corporation, came forward at a luncheon meeting of the American Merchant Marine Library Association at the Munson, building 67 Wall street, with the suggestion that Negro workers be barred from American ships in future. "Our country is outstanding in its work of providing safety at sea," said Farrell, "and with a better type of seaman our ships are bound to be safer. But we will not get much material to man our merchant marine of the future unless we employ white men who are Americans or who can speak the English language." In other words, white men, whether foreign or native, but no colored Americans. Frank C. Munson, another big capitalist and president of the Munson Lines, expressed his agreement with Farrell. In face of the report of Captain E. P. Jossop exonerating and praising the Negro members of the Vestris crew and placing the blame for the Vestris disaster squarely upon the shoulders of Captain Carey and his officers whose actions in the emergency he branded as consisting of incompetence and "sheer stupidity," Munson had the temerity to refer to the loss of the Vestris as an example of the failure of a crew to do its duty, and pointed out that the crew were not of the type of men suggested by his fellow capitalist, Farrell. That is, they were not white men! Another SHINBERG'S MUSIC SHOP 1346 U St., N.W. A. E. LEMETTA RIDLEY Nashville, Tenn.

The use of Nelson's Hair Dress- ing causes it to grow very fast and also gives the hair a gloss." It is amazing to learn how many people have used Nelson's for long periods. Nelson's is the pioneer hair dressing, and is the favorite with those who take pride in their appearance. Sold by druggists everywhere NELSON MFG. CO., Richmond, Va.

Madden, representative from the First Chicago District. Four uniformed brass bands have been engaged to form an escort to DePriest. AVERY FINED IN RAILROAD PASS CASE RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 11.—J. M. Avery, an executive of a North Carolina Negro life insurance company, was fined $500 today and given a three months' suspended jail sentence after he had pleaded guilty to illegal use of passes of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. The case of W. F. Denny, lawyer, reported ill in a Washington hospital, was postponed. L. F. Chapman, former chief of the C. and O. free pass bureau, who last summer issued large numbers of passes to Negroes going to the Elks' Convention in Chicago, is serving a term in Atlanta penitentiary.

Social Tide Ebbs as Society Catches Breath Between Thanksgiving and Christmas WOMAN'S SOCIETY Lull in Social Activities Broken Only by Mu-So-Lit There was no outstanding social event last week. After the attenuous days and nights of the Thanksgiving celebration in connection with the Howard-Lincoln football game, society remained quiet save for a few card parties. This week promises only a little more activity. The Mu-So-Lit Club is having its annual charity dance at the Murray Palace Casino, Friday evening, December 14. This dance should be well attended. It will be a little staid, but it is the only attraction of the evening and the younger set—the sons and daughters of the Mu-So-Lit Club members—may enlist this annual charity affair by their presence. On Saturday evening, December 15, Dr. W. Henry Greene and Mr. Mortimer M. Harris will be the hosts to the local graduate chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. These monthly meetings of the Kappas, at which there is always a feast, are quite enjoyable, but when Dr. Greene and Mr. Harris entertain they are out of the ordinary and are always looked forward to by the membership. Of course, it is a stag affair. A GAY PARTY Mr. and Mrs. John T. Carpenter, of 2603 Eleventh street, northwest, entertained at breakfast, Saturday morning, in honor of Mrs. Mary Williams, of Norfolk; Miss Ethel Smith, of Philadelphia; Miss Margaret Wood, of Kentucky; Miss Smith, Miss Angeline Hancock, and Messrs.

Invited to meet these charming guests were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ackers, Mr. and Mrs. Guy West, Mrs. Coates, Mrs. Margaret Hogan White, Mrs. Corrine Burrell, Mrs. Mabel Rector, Mrs. Mayme Henderson, Mrs. Cliffie Maney, Mrs. Helen Lewis, and Mr. Walker. The gathering was an all day affair with luncheon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Turner, dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford Mason, and tea with Mr. Bailey. The ensemble party ended with a formal reception at the home of Mrs. Mabel Pector, on Thomas street, given by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ackers, Mr. and Mrs. Guy West, and Mrs. Mabel Rector. Fifty additional guests were invited to the reception which proved to be one of the most pleasant and brilliant of the holiday season. CARNIVAL IN FULL SWING The annual carnival of the Phyllis Wheatley "Y" held forth this week with pleasurable crowds each night. The carnival was under the general supervision of Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, ably assisted by Miss Mary Martin, Mrs. A. E. Cromwell, Mrs. J.

RABBI SIMON URGES RACIAL SELF-RESPECT Before a large audience of students, educators and intellectuals from the city, Rev. Dr. Abram Simon, pastor of the Hebrew Congregation, addressed the Forum, Wednesday night. Dr. Simon spoke on Salvation for Oppressed Minorities, and approached his subject from the angles of the biological phase of escape from a minority place; second, the effect of a growing sentininess of right in the world; third, philosophic appreciation of self, and finally cultural growth. "Unless a minority is willing to place its birth rate above its death rate and keep it there, it can not become a majority," said the speaker. "Increase or die out, is the warning." Dr. Simon paid a tribute to the vision and work of the late Woodrow Wilson who made the existence of small nations possible by creating the League of Nations which has granted individuality to groups of people formed by language, religion and race, and has guaranteed to others equality regardless of those differences. He sees in the increased conscience of the world, hope for the progress of a minority that is unwilling to simply dig its own grave by standing supinely indifferent and sterile. Urging "an aggressive propulsion forward," Dr. Simon rose to inspiring oratory when he told how the Hebrews had stood for one God amidst all the peoples of the world who believed in a plurality of God. "A minority has the duty to be right, righteously," said he. Urging his hearers to engage in self-criticism to remove weaknesses the speaker held out the hope that creative cultural offerings by a minority would win the world's respect ultimately. HOWARD PREXY IS SPEAKER AT SHAW RALEIGH, N.C.—Shaw University celebrated its sixty-third anniversary by observing Founder's Day Thursday, December 13. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, of Howard University, was the chief speaker. Dr. Johnson urged the races in America to co-operate in every way possible in the promotion of goodwill. At the same time he urged the Negro to rely on himself as never before in establishing his sure place in our American life and the life of the world. The day marked the beginning of an effort by the American Baptist Home Mission Society, the alumni, the Baptists of North Carolina and friends to raise for Shaw University $550,000 for expansion in equipment, and personnel. The exercises began with a brief memorial at the grave of Henry Martin Tupper, the founder, a Massachusetts soldier in the Civil War. Many graduates took part in the various exercises of the day. A big feature was the alumn luncheon.

Joiner BLACK AND WHITE CLUB OFFICERS RESIGN Charlie Lee and Edwin Leak Out as Managers of Popular Social Organization Much surprise and speculation resulted in social pleasure circles this week following the announcement that Edwin Leak, president, and Charlie F. Lee, treasurer and business manager, resigned from the Black and White Circle Club, Incorporated, last week. The club is one of the most popular of the weekly dancing classes with a large following throughout the city. Mr. Lee was a leading force in organizing and in the maintenance of the club, which is more than a year old. The cause for the withdrawal of the officers was not disclosed. Mr. Lee and Mr. Leak have declared their intentions to promote dances on their own account in the future and will be known as the "Happy Pals."

The Black and White Club will continue to function under the guidance of new officers who have guidance of new officers.

The result of these unconquered prejudices has been the turning of our most valuable technical and intellectual accomplishments into weapons of self destruction. The major task before the youth of this generation is, the human task of overcoming these prejudices and uniting separated groups of man- kind in co-operative enterprises. He expressed the hope that there might be a rapidly developing un- derstanding between the white and ‘colored youth of the United States preliminary to their co-operation in ‘the wider field of international and ifarid race co-operation, SPECIAL SERVICES IN ALEXANDRIA Special services will be held at Roberts Chapel, Sunday, December 16, at 3 p.m., given under the aus- pices of the Sunshine Club of Rob- erts Chapel MLE, Chureh.

Calif.-The invention of the Vitaphone has done much in the last few months to make the Negro actor a potent factor in the picture world, because it gives expression to his natural talent--singing. Three new all-colored pictures are in course of production in Hollywood following closely upon the heels of King Vidor's "Hallelujah," which is nearing completion. They are "The Melancholy Dame," from a story by Octavius Roy Cohen, being produced by Christie-Pamount Co. "Hearts in Dixie," by the William Fox Concern, and the famous Broadway success, "Show Boat." The latter while not all colored, has a preponderance of the southern Negro atmosphere and plenty of good music. The three efforts represent employment for more than one thousand Negroes. Evelyn Preer Universal is completing "Show Boat" which, while not all-colored by any means, contains much of colored music and characterization. The Paramount-Christie comedy has in its cast Evelyn Preer, said by Dayid Belasco to be the best colored actress in the country, who understudied Leonore Ulric in "Lulu Bell." Hollywood casting offices have a PAVES WAY FOR NEGRO ACTORS IN wealth of colored talent to draw from locally due to the existence o. the Lafayette players, a colored stock company, which plays all the successes, white or black, but with all colored casts. Good Music Folks that get dewy eyes over Dixie and thoughts of mint juleps and colored mammals are due for something of a treat when "Hearts in Dixie" arrives on the talking screen. The entire cast is colored and all the songs, of which there are plenty, are authentic colored melodies of the period prior to 1870. A large company left the Fox Studio to make scenes in the cotton fields around Bakersfield, Cal. A chorus of thirty-five voices selected from the best colored talent on the coast will sing the songs of the cotton pickers as they work in the fields. The story concerns an old colored laborer who was wise enough to see the futility of the vooDOism and howling revival religion of his race and who groped to find the answer to puzzling problems of ignorance, superstition and indulence that surrounded the post-war colored man. Story Pathetic He saves enough money out of his wages to send his youngest child, a boy, north to get the schooling that means a chance for him. The old man realizes that by so doing he is separating himself forever from the boy who will outgrow the ignorance and squalor of his childhood home, but he feels that it is the only way to give the boy his chance. The story ends with the boy going blithely north on the river steamboat leaving the broken old man behind. Gilpin Has Lead Charles Gilpin of Emperor Jones fame, has the leading role, assisted by a colored cast including Eugene Jackson, Stepin Fechit, Bernice Pilot, Gertrude Howard, Jack Williams and Madame Jule Te Wah, a voodoo woman. Apul Sloan, who is directing the picture, says the subject matter of the story was so serious and pathetic that he was worried about how he was going to get in some comedy re- 1920 BETTY BRONSON, who will play a leading role in "Companionate Marriage," at the Republic next week. liefs. But as soon as the cast gathered on the set the comedy took care of itself even to a mule kicking a prop cart all to smithereens. Bill Robinson, now with "Blackbirds," will become associated with the Albertina Rasch Studio within the next few weeks. Bill will devote three days a week to teaching tap routines to the Rasch Units.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. DECEMBER 14. 1928 ANDY RAZAF SCORES HITS WITH SONGS Andy Razaf, New York's young premier lyricist makes a perfect score and deserves honorable mention. Razaf wrote all the lyrics for the eight songs that were recently recorded and made popular by the one and only Ethel Waters. They were "Guess Who's In Town," "Organ Grinder Blues," "West End Blues," "Get Up Off Your Knees," "My Baby Sure Knows How To Love," "Lonesome Swallow," "Do What You Did Last Night," and "Handy Man." "Handy Man," one of the most talked of low-downs in years, was written entirely by Andy Razaf and is one of Columbia's best sellers. Razaf also assisted with the lyrics for "Keep Shufflin" and "Deep Harlem," and is now writing hits, such as "Dusty Stevedors," and "Louisiana" in conjunction with (our Black Gene Austin) J. C. Johnson. "Companionate Marriage" At the Republic Judge Ben B. Lindsey's story of "Companionate Marriage," the most discussed question in America today, will be the screen attraction at the Republic Theatre for five days, Saturday to Wednesday, December 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19. Betty Bronson and Alec B. Francis have the leading roles in this startling drama that shows just how this scheme works out. The picture is human, true and convincing. It pictures in detail what every girl thinks but never discusses. Is "Companionate Marriage" really a solution to the divorce problem? Don't decide until you've seen both kinds lived upon the screen in one of the most startling, and thrill-packed dramas ever shown. "The Grip of the Yukon," starring Francis X. Bushman and Neil Hamilton will be shown on Thursday and Friday, December 20 and 21. It is one of the most vivid screen versions of the great snow country of Alaska. A girl falls in love with her father's murderer and fate brings them to a dramatic climax. Different Vitaphone and Movietone acts will be shown with each change of feature picture.

BILLY PIERCE STAGES DANCES FOR 'WHOOPEE' Hailed as Ziegfeld's greatest wonder by the New York dramatic critics, "Whoopee" enjoyed its premiere Tuesday night at the Amsterdam Theatre with one of the greatest galaxy of stars ever assembled in one production. "Whoopee" is a rapid moving musical scintillating with rich witt and the fastest dancing ever attempted before the footlights. It brought again into the limelight Billy Pierce, the grand master of the terpsichorean art. Among the stars occupying principal roles are his former pupils in the form of Mary Jane, Francis Upton and Patsy O'Day, now being glorified. Billy Pierce is now busy staging all the dances for Lew Field's new Broadway production, which bea.3 the signs of another golden egg for the versatile Billy Pierce.

"Deep Harlem" is the most stupendous colored revue now on the road and this is the last opportunity of the theatre goers in Washington to see this outstanding attraction prior to its Broadway opening. The admission prices will be the same for this attraction as heretofore and it is hoped that the thousands of theatre goers who were unable to gain admission owing to the tremendous crowds during the last visit of "Deep Harlem," will avail themselves of the opportunity afforded to see the greatest road attraction of the season. "Deep Harlem" carries a company of fifty singers, dancers, comedians and dramatic artists together with the wealth of gorgeous scenery and spetacular lighting affects.

IN RETURN ENGAGEMENT Lon Chaney in "While the City Sleeps," at the Lincoln Theatre On the screen for Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be seen Lon Chaney in "While the City Sleeps." Lon Chaney, whose roles usually are those of menace, has a new angle on sinister portrayals in his latest and one of his most sensational screen plays in "While the City Sleeps," coming to the Lincoln Theatre. Never was he as deadly menacing as in some of its scenes, still in these more than any other his audience is with him. For he is menacing this time to those who lurk in sinister shadows and themselves menace others. Chaney plays a 'painclothes detective in a vivid story of the "in- STAGE SCREEN at Howard Theatre side" of the New York police, and a deadly gang war is the background of the stirring story. A pretty love tale is woven through it.
