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.

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.

VICTOR IN LIBRARY FIGHT Court Rules Library Is Not Part of Public School CHARLESTON, W. Va., Dec. 4.—The Charleston Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the colored citizens of Charleston won a sweeping victory in the case of Anderson H. Brown, E. L. Powell and W. W. Sanders vs. the Board of Education of the Charleston Independent School District when the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia handed down a decision this morning holding that "The Governing Board of the Public Library may not exclude persons therefrom on account of their colored, race or previous condition of servitude." The opinion was written by Judge Litz. The case arose out of a resolution passed by the Board of Education on December 12, 1927, which provided, "Resolved, that the Secretary be requested to write the Librarian of the Charleston Public Library to inform any colored citizens who come into the Library, that in as much as the Board has provided Garnett Branch Library for their exclusive use, they must use such Library instead of the Charleston Public Library and that the Librarian shall be instructed to refuse to serve them." Would Not Rescind On February 9, T. G. Nutter, president of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P., addressed the Board of Education a letter protesting against its action and challenging their right to pass such a resolution stating that their resolution was null and because they had only been authorized to establish a Public Library. In response to the letter, on February 21, the following action was taken by the board "The president called the attention of the board to a letter written by T. Gillis Nutter dated February 9, and after discussion thereof upon motion of Mr. Fruth, unanimously adopted, it was resolved that the board deem itself bound to establish and maintain separate libraries for the white and colored schools and citizens of this district and therefore declines to rescind its former orders dealing with this matter." Suit Filed At the next meeting of the executive committee of the N.A.A.C. P. branch Nutter was authorized to bring suit to compel the board to admit Negroes to the Charleston Public Library and to secure such assistance as he may desire and he employed C. E. Kimbrough, an attorney, to assist him in the prosecution of the suit. On March 13 the attorneys for the association had Messrs. Brown, Powell MORE ATTEMPT TO BLOCK (Continued from page 1) capital are: salaries, $175,220, and subsistence, $84,960. President Johnson Objects President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University was admonished by members of the subcommittee of the House appropriations committee for insisting upon a change in the policy of Federal contributions to the university, according to the published hearings on the Interior Department appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1930 made public Monday. Urged Increase Dr. Johnson urged an increase of $65,000 in the item for salaries. He asked the Congress to appropriate the sum of $225,000 toward the payment of salaries of officers, professors, teachers and other regular employees of the university. The Congress appropriated the sum of $160,000 to be used in the payment of salaries at Howard University in the current fiscal year. Representative Louis C. Crampton, Republican, of Michigan, chairman of the subcommittee, questioned the wisdom of increasing the Federal contribution for salaries. He warned Dr. Johnson that this was a change in policy that "may minimize the chance of getting the physical improvements that the institution needs." Speedy Truck Driver Slowed Down by Fine A fine of $25 was imposed, by Judge John P. P. McMahon, in Traffic Court, Monday, on Burton C. Lefridge, 1231 Twenty-fifth street, northwest, for having allegedly driven a solid tired truck at an excessive rate of speed. The penalty, according to the court, though heavy, was considered just in view of the numerous violations of the 15-mile speed limit, under which trucks are supposed to be operated. Policeman C. W. Peters, of the Fourteenth precinct testified the defendant drove 50 miles an hour on Massachusetts avenue. and Sanders to go to the Library and ask for books which they did and were refused and on March 29 a petition was filed asking for an alternative writ of mandamus compelling the Board of Education to admit Negroes to the Charleston Public Library and to use the same. The court in its opinion sustained every point raised by the plaintiffs and held that the library was not a part of the school system and that the Board of Education may not exclude persons therefrom on account of their color, race or prevails condition of servitude. Other Cities Affected This case is of tremendous importance to the colored citizens of West Virginia as Bluefield and Martinsburg had taken similar action and the colored citizens are excluded from the Public Library of those cities. The colored citizens are very jubilant over the decision. MORE SUICIDE (Continued from page 1) red to was Davis or her associate of two years ago could be ascertained. Had Nervous Disorder Miss Owens was a graduate from the Dunbar High School in the class of 1925. She was in her second year at Miner Normal, and was a practicing instructor in one of the local public schools at the time of her death. In an interview with Miss Jesse Thorpe, occupant of the first floor apartment at the Oregon avenue address, it was learned that Miss Owens had been suffering from a nervous disorder for the past two years. Pademonium Reigns When news of the girl's act reached the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where Mrs. Owens is employed, officials sought to break the sadness to the mother calmly. A friend of the girl and her mother, who was working next to the latter, was first told, and requested to tell Mrs. Owens. The friend immediately fainted and had to be carried out. The mother, when told, also fainted. Pandemonium reigned throughout the department. Was Church Worker Miss Owens was a member of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, having attended there since her childhood. She was much liked by her acquaintances, and was recognized as an excellent character. The girl's mother is her only immediate survivor. Youth Tries Death The tragic death of Miss Owens had a near tragic sequel when Joseph Davis, to whom one of the notes left by the girl was addressed, attempted to commit suicide Monday night at his home, 1423 Q street, northwest. Early Tuesday morning his mother, Mrs. Frances Davis, noticed the fumes of escaping gas and hurried to her son's room, where she found his prostrate form stretched across the bed and the gas jets wide open. The fire rescue squad, hastily summoned, revived young Davis after strenuous effort, and he was removed to Emergency Hospital for further treatment. It is understood that Davis, who is 21 years years old today, was despondent over the death of his intended bride. PRIZE RACE ANTHEM GROWING POPULAR Wellington Adams' prize race anthem entitled "Let Freedom's Music Ring," is being used by an increasing number of musical organizations throughout the country with much success as reported by the composer of Washington, D.C. Among recent presentations of the composition were the "Y.M.C.A. Festival Chorus," of 380 voices at St. Louis, Mo., last Sunday evening, C. Spencer Tocus, public school director, in charge, including thirteen participating choral groups. Works of Burleigh, Dett, and Cook also were presented with other master choral works. Miss Harriett I. Robinson, of Temple Theatre Building, Alton, Ill., reports that the people there were charmed with the song which is being frequently used both in church and concert work. SCHOOL NOTES SCHOOL CONTRACT AWARDED Bids for the erection of a ten- room addition to the Francis Jun- ior High School were opened at the District Building Monday, the Northeastern Construction Co. sub- mitting the lowest bid for the building. Congress appropriated $242,000 for the preparation of plans and completion of the addi- tion. Shaw Junior High School During the Club period, Friday, December 7, about two hundred pupils accompanied by the shop and science teachers visited the radio exhibit which was held on the fourth floor of Lansburgh's Department Store. On last Thursday morning the boys of the school were given an inspiring and practical talk by the first assistant superintendent of schools, Mr. Wilkinson, who related some of the personal experiences of his early life. The junior group of pupils were entertained at the regular assembly period on Monday by Miss Gatlett and four of her English pupils. The Girl Reserves Club, under the direction of Mrs. Maloney, meets at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., each Friday afternoon. The spirit of Christmas is being shown by the interest which pupils and teachers are manifesting in the coming events. There will be Christmas plays, a Christmas post office, a school tree, and special music in the Assembly Hall. In addition to these general activities, parties and socials are being planned for the various section rooms. Randall Junior High School A drama to inspire interest in the Junior Red Cross Society, entitled "Socks, Sir," was presented by the pupils of Section 7-7, under the direction of Mrs. A. V. W. McBeth, at the assembly hour, Friday. The characters in the play were as follows: Nathaniel Lewis, Charles Fauntroy, Maurice Young. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1928 COLUMBIA, S. C.—Henry Scrivens, recognized as the oldest prisoner, in point of service, in the state of Carolina, enjoys the distinction of being one jail inmate who dreads the possibility of his being released. Sentenced in 1885 for burglary and larceny to a term of life imprisonment, Scrivens has been in jail, except for a brief period, ever since. In 1924, he was paroled by Gov. Thomas G. McLeod, but hardly three months had passed before he returned and begged to be re-admitted. He is partly paralyzed and is almost deaf. The only time he leaves his cell block except for meals is a daily trip to the canteen for cigarettes. He knows only one of his prisoners by name, his deafness having made it difficult for him to learn others, and the men he knew in former years are either dead or have left prison. PEACEMAKER LANDS IN HOSPITAL The practice of acting in the role of peacemaker is not so healthy if Harold Lloyd, 21, 1251 Seventh street, northwest, is to be believed, following his experience of last Thursday morning. Lloyd, a cook at the Mid-City Hotel, near Seventh and L streets, northwest, was witness to a fight two men were waging in front of his place of employment. He elected to stop it. As he stepped in between the antagonists for the purpose of parting them, Lloyd received lacerations of the left hand, an incised wound of the forehead, and a stab wound of the left knee. Realizing his failure in the capacity of an arbiter, Lloyd retired, and walked to Freedmen's Hospital, where he was proffered medical attention by Dr. T. E. Percival. He later went home in an improved state. KELLY MILLER, JR. OPENS OFFICE NEW YORK.-Dr. Kelly Miller, Jr., son of Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University, Washington, D.C., has opened offices for medical practice at 2376 Seventh avenue, here.

MAN CLEANING GUN SHOOTS SELF William J. Overton, 54 years old, of 2209 Ninth street, northwest, applied at Freedmen's Hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound of the left hand, and was rendered first aid by Dr. T. E. Percival, last Wednesday morning. Overton reported that the wound was received when he accidently discharged a .32 calibre revolver he was cleaning at his home. The bullet, which at first could not be located, was extracted by Dr. O. N. Simmons. MAN STRUCK BY AUTO Contusions of the left shoulder were suffered by John Powell, a chauffeur, living at 1206 Second street, southwest, when he was struck and knocked down by an automobile belonging to Louis Shelman, 1319½ Ninth street, southwest, last Tuesday night. The accident occurred at Seventh and M streets, southwest. Powell was carried to Freedmen's Hospital in the automobile of Shelman, and treated by Dr. D. W. Harper, of the hospital staff. Two, 60, Among Trio Accused of Larceny Two persons, George T. Webster, 703 Fourth street, southeast, and Mrs. Margaret Jones, 60 years old, forfeited collateral in Police Court, last Thursday morning when they were called upon to face charges of petit larceny in connection with the theft of newspapers from the "honor system" racks. The former forfeited $10 and the latter $5. Thomas Moore, 63, demanded a jury trial, after being accused of paying but 1 cent for a 3-cent paper. He was arrested by Policeman J. C. Jackson at Fourteenth and N streets. George Garner, Gerald Barnes, and Morris Swann. Quite a number of the boys of the section drilled in a company representing the United States soldiers in this play. Several girls represented Red Cross nurses. Other features of the program were "In Flanders Field," by Charles Tyler, "America's Answer" by James Clusley; "O, Captain, My Captain," by Charles Tyler; a vocal solo by Wm. Dozier, and a piano solo by Elizabeth Johnson. PLAN TESTIMONIAL TO J. R. HAWKINS Federation of Women Reorganize Club The Happy Hour Club of the Washington and Vicinity Federation of Women, has reorganized with Mrs. Addie Brooks as its president.

It has already helped four reserving families with clothing and food, and are planning to do their bit for the Christmas opportunities. The membership is growing, they hope to do much to help where help is needed. Woman Victim of Auto Struck and knocked down by an automobile early Monday morning as she was crossing the intersection at Georgia avenue and Fairmont street, northwest, Alberta McCarson, 34, living at 619 Fairmont street, sustained contusions of the left leg, a sprained hand and abrasions of the hip. The woman was conveyed to Freedmen's Hospital by Lonnie L. Embrey, white, of 1385 Potomac avenue, southeast, the driver of the car which struck her. There she was treated by Dr. F. D.

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.

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.

Faculty members, who refused regard the incident seriously, attributed the wide circulation of the erature to the aid of a few "sore-ad" students.

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.

(Continued on page 9) (New York News)—In one of the most stirring and able addresses of his brilliant career, Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, aroused a great throng of students and professors at New York University on Tuesday morning. His subject was, "Conquest of Prejudices." He called attention to the fact that the scientific and technical mastery of natural resources by the leaders of the western world had enabled them to extend their industries throughout the extent of the world and to make the world physically one. The world was still dangerously divided, however, by prejudices separating human beings into racial and national groups. 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 mankind in co-operative enterprises. He expressed the hope that there might be a rapidly developing understanding between the white and colored youth of the United States preliminary to their co-operation in the wider field of international and world race co-operation.

Bordentown, Spruel Captain, Preps for Hard BORDENTOWN, N.J. — Samuel Spruel, lanky guard and letter man for the past two seasons on Bordentown basketball teams, will captain the quintet of the popular New Jersey prep school for the coming season. Spruel, who hails from Moorestown, is well known to followers of the Bordentown teams for his passing and pivoting with the sphere. Coach Granger predicts another Bordentown year in basketball, which means a plentiful supply of fast, big men for his squad. Stretch Russ, the six foot lad who piled up an average of ten points a game last season, is back again for his senior year. Likewise with Roger Hamilton, midget running mate at forward position to Russ. Doman at guard and Hilton at center were dependable substitutes last year who are shaping up well in early season workouts.

Fisk did quick thinking and passing for its points in the second half. Early in the third quarter Captain Thornhill gave the signal to open fireworks. Starting from their own 30-yard line and aided by two first downs the Fisk Bulldogs, biting hard, playing low, hitting hard and passing true, fought an uphill battle, and with Yost running 41 yards on an intercepted forward pass, placed the ball on Tennessee State's 25-yard line. From this point Fisk had little trouble scoring. CAPITAL BACKETBALL Team W. L. Pct.

Only on one occasion, that being at the start of the game when the Monumentals caged two field goals in rapid-fire order, was the difference in points even as much as 4 points. When the forty-minute whistle blew the teams were tied at 21, and the gallery was in an uproar. Soup Turner, expelled by Referee Gibson for unsportsmanly conduct, made way for "Hooks" Givens, who had previously been withdrawn. Givens, after a beautiful follow-up shot for two points, looped a difficult basket from the side-line, which added to a foul goal by Lacy, bettered the two points scored by the locals, via Lewis' field goal. ```markdown ``` Com'unity g f tp Scholastics g f tp Lecy,f... 1 1 1 3 Roades,f... 1 3 5 Givens,f... 3 0 6 Wyatt,f... 3 0 6 Thomas,c... 2 5 9 Ailor,c... 1 0 2 Lee,g... 1 0 2 Lewis,c... 3 1 7 Turner,g-f 1 0 2 Venje,g... 0 0 0 Johnson,g... 1 2 4 Payne,g... 1 1 3 Referee: Gibson; scorer: Coving- ton; timer: Chase.

Suspension Placed on Union School COMMUNITY FIVE LOSES TO SCHOS 25 TO 23 Inability to cage the sphere caused the downfall of the Community A. A. Yellowjackets in the opening game of Washington basketball, at the Lincoln Colonnade, Tuesday night. As a result, the Baltimore Scholastics handed the locals as neat a lacing as they have suffered in the past two years. The score was 25-23. Waging a relentless attack which literally tore the Orange and Black defense to shreds, and then throwing up an impenetrable guarding game, the visiting aggregation outplayed their hosts in every department of the game. From the very start of the affair, the Schools were never far behind, and except for the first few minutes either led or tied all the way. The local team, in its debut before a home town audience, experienced no little difficulty in sinking baskets. Time after time, the Community offense would break through the opposing lines, only to have the shooter miss an easy try for the goal. On numerous occasions, Orange and Black players stood under the basket unguarded, took long passes from upcourt, and failed to count. The invaders, on the other hand, with Wyatt, Lewis and Rhodes playing stellar floor games, were making good their tries for the net. The visitors missed only a few of numerous foul shots, accorded them as the Yellowjackets became overzealous in their desire to snatch the game from the fire.

JACK JOHNSON AT 51 SEEKS RING BATTLES Jack Johnson, for many years the heavyweight champion of the world, but now 51 years old, wants to stage a comeback. He wants to start fighting his way back toward the top of the heavyweight pile, and he states most positively that he knows he can outsmart and outbox and outpoint most of the heavyweight contenders who abound in these parts of the United States. "Please take me seriously," said Johnson. "I'd admire to get a bout with either Jimmy Maloney or Jack Sharkey. Yes, sir, I certainly believe that I'd have a good chance against either one of them. My best chance would be in my superior knowledge of the game and its tricks. I'd outscore them enough to beat them and get the decision. "At my age—yes, sir, it's fifty-one—you have to go about such things as conditioning carefully. But, glory, I've never allowed myself to get very far out of condition. That may sound funny to some of you who have heard different stories, but they'll tell stories. "I can box and counter and feint just as well as I ever did. I'm not so fast on my feet, but I have speed in other ways. Just give me the chance."

ATLANTA, Ga.—Tuskegee probably cinched her fifth straight southern championship here today by defeating Atlanta University, 10 to 7, in 60 minutes of the most hectic gridiron struggle of the season. Whatever hopes of the conference championship the Crimson Hurricane may have had were blasted when the pistol barked out two sharp signals indicating that the game was over with Tuskegee leading three points ahead. Although defeated the genial Atlanta University coach still smiles and has set his hopes on a victory over the Tigers a year from this date. Eight thousand persons witnessed the great grid game. In the stands were Bob Zuppke, coach of the championship Illinois football team; Chick Meehan, coach of the championship New York University team; A. B. Nixon, graduate manager, New York University; O. B. Keeler, noted sports writer; Horace C. Renegar, Associated Press sports writer; W. A. Alexander, coach of Georgia Tech; Walter Eckallson, of the Chicago Tribune; Warren Brown, of the Chicago News; Coach Robertson, of Oglethorpe, and assistant coach Nutty Campbell, along with a group of football coaches and sport experts. Another SHINBERG'S MUSIC SHOP 1346 U St., N.W. FOUR LOCAL LADS NAMED ON TWO ALL C.I.A.A. MYTHICAL SELECTIONS PETERSBURG, Va.—A release of the All-Star Committee of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association sent out early this week disclosed that four Washington boys were selected as All-Conference material for the 1928 mythical C.L.A.A. eleven. Ed Davis, youngest of the well-known Davis brothers of this city, was given the call as the most capable quarterback in the association. Red Fowler, former Dunbar High product, and captain of the Virginia Seminary eleven this fall, was again placed at end on the first team. Fowler was chosen last year also. Red Dabney, who finished the Armstrong Technical High School last season, in his first year of collegiate football, was picked over any of the star backs at Virginia State College where he attended, including Captain Overby, who was secured on the second eleven. Slim Henderson, another former Tech star, obtained the popular vote for end on the second team. First Team Second Team Fowler, Seminary End Streeter, A.A.T. Gaines, Hampton Tackle Coles, A.A.T.

OUTLOOK GLOOMY AT BOTH HIGH SCHOOLS First week of basketball practice at the Armstrong Technical High School, finds Coach E. P. Westmoreland reluctant about talking in regard to his team's chances for the coming court season. The Orange and Blue mentor, usually confident whenever discussion of his teams is in progress, would give no indication as to how he left over his 1929 court prospects. Although he has only one member of the 1928 varsity back for this year, Coach West hopes to be able to depend on several newcomers to fill the vacancies left by the graduation of four of his veterans. Both Thorne and Dabney, star guards of the Tech team last year graduated as did Graham, stellar, guard and White, spectacular forward. Only "Mel" Lancaster, this year's captain, is available from the first-stringers of 1928. Frank H. Perkins seems pessimistic when questioned in regard to the promise of his court material for the fast approaching season. Coach Perkins, considerably handicapped through the loss of most of his last year dependables, faces a difficult task rebuilding a representative machine for this year. Having graduated Jackson and Syphax, versatile forwards, and Sewell and Berry, stalwart guards, the First Street School passed on the most outstanding of its 1928 court performers. In addition Tate, the 1928 Red and Black center has been transferred to Armstrong. The Poet tutor is now working diligently in an effort to build around Captain Ed Amos as a nucleus. Neither of the schools will begin competitive work before the return of the students from the Christmas recess. 'KEGEES SCORE OVER ANCIENT RIVALS, 21-0 SILSBY FIELD, Talladega, Ala. Nov. 29 - Talladega and Tuskegee met in their annual football game today before a large crowd of students and alumni of both institutions. This game dates back to the 90s and through all these years the interest in the meeting of the two schools, in friendly football rivalry, has been sustained. In the game today Tuskegee came through with a 21 to 0 victory. It was only after the hardest sort of playing that Tuskegee with the aid of a great running attack scored the first touchdown late in the second quarter. The Tuskegee aggregation had expected a close fight from the Talladega Tornado and these predictions were not amiss. Immediately after the game opened there was a decided maroon hue on the field as Talladega rushed Tuskegee from the start. But the Tigers played inspired football, and after stemming the Talladega tide, launched an offensive which carried them to victory. KAPPA TO FIGHT OMEGA FOR CHRISTMAS BASKETBALL CLASSIC The Interfraternal basketball season for 1928-29 opens when the representatives of the local chapters of Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi clash at the Lincoln Colonnade on December 26.

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.

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. EARL DANCER OPERATED ON Earl Dancer, who has been confined at the Wiley Wilson Sanitarium for the last two weeks, underwent an operation for an infection of the throat, Saturday morning, and will be forced to remain in said hospital for at least another week. 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" at the Howard Next Week Owing to the tremendous public demand the Howard Theatre management has secured a return engagement of the famous stage success, "Deep Harlem," for one week only, beginning Monday matinee, December 17. "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. On the screen for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be seen Reginald Denny in "Good Morning Judge." On the screen for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be seen Irene Rich in "Craig's Wife."

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. On Thursday and Friday, the screen attraction will be Jack Holt in Zane Gray's latest story of the West, and the open spaces, "Avalanche," and in this picture Mr. Holt portrays his great brotherly love for his younger brother, protecting him against the vices of the gambling dens of the old West. All through the picture, however, there runs a beautiful love theme. To further round out the program for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday only you will have the opportunity of hearing as well as seeing the famous Fox Movietone News, in which the news events of the day are brought to you in sound and pictures. There will also be a complete change of Vitaphone and Movie-tone acts, with each change of feature picture. Theatre STUDIED ATMOSPHERE When Harry Pollard was signed to direct the famous Harriett Beecher Stowe epic for Universal his first move was to gather together a staff of experts, who went with him to the locale of the story. Every foot of ground was gone over, Negro cabins were inspected, in short, everything that could be done to get the correct atmosphere was done. James B. Lowe, a Negro actor, takes the leading role. LESLIE PLANS NEW REVUE NEW YORK.—Lew Leslie, made rich by his "Blackbirds," insists that in March or thereabouts he will present an "international re- vue." Thereby, he says, he means that he will use players of various nationalities, some of whom are being gathered overseas this very moment by A. H. Woods, who will be Mr. Leslie's partner in the enterprise.

Jack Goldberg, white, one of the potential forces in the organization of the Majestic Theatrical Circuit which has been supplying colored houses with musical shows during the present season has announced his severance with that enterprise since he plans to place a series of Negro talking acts in the all-movie houses' catering to colored patrons. He declares that his is the largest talking motion picture company in the market today and that several short films have already been made and have the approval of the leading theatre managers and owners. . Among the artists who have already been signed to make talking shorts are Moss and Frye, Mamie Smith and other leading artists. A complete musical comedy with a cast of from twenty to fifty people and dramas with all colored actors are also included in the plans of the new concern. In his announcement Mr. Goldberg does not disclose what will become of the Majestic Circuit which provides employment for 500 or more actors. There are thirteen companies working the circuit in the East. (Continued from page 5) MR. AND MRS.
