Washington Tribune

TALENTED BEAUTY The Bruseaux--Wilson Controversy is Aired A. Easy to look at and easier to listen to. Miss Gladys E. Thomas, a senior at Oberlin Conservatory of Music, thrilled her audience at her graduation recital. Members of the faculty and eminent witnesses called the program one of the most perfectly rendered in the history of Oberlin. Miss Thomas is a daughter of Washington. Urging a compact organization of his race for the full attainment of their civil and political rights and the development of their economic well-being, Representative Oscar L. DePriest, Republican, of Illinois, stirred his audience in a speech before a mass meeting held under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, Tuesday night. Edward H. Morris, grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, of Chicago, Ill., introduced Mr. DePriest. He praised his fighting spirit, calling him courageous an da man who would brook no insult. Mr. DePriest has the interest of his people at heart, Mr. Morris said. Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, opened the meeting. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. The choir of the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church sang several selections. Mr. Thomas presented Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, chairman of the mebership campaign committee. Mrs. Hamilton presided. Mr. DePriest stated that the great trouble with a large number of Negroes today is that they still possess the slave spirit. Everything they do, they must tell the white man. Everything black is evil. Anything white has virtue. One of the primary handicaps of the race, he said, has been its dependence on "bread and butter" leadership. Such leadership, he declared, would sacrifice the race if their "bread and butter" the next morning depended upon their doing so. The time has come, he declared, when the race should get away from "bread and butter" leadership. The way of the Negro out of his economic plight, Mr. DePriest said, is through co-operation and the trading with those businesses that show him the most consideration. He pointed to the Chicago example. If a business did not employ colored people in its establishment and another did, the thing to do, he said, is to trade with the one giving members of the race employment. He suggested the extension of the method of politics lorganization to cover the economic situation—the organization of every block in a city, with one or two women responsible for that block and a house to house campaign. Mr. DrPriest proposed the passage of a Federal election law or the reduction of representation for those states in which disfranchisement is practiced. He is being treated as well as any other member of Congress, he said, but he is just a little loner. He expressed the wish that some other congressional district would send him company. Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuekegee Institute, Tuekegee, Ala., called at the White House on last Thursday. The subject of his conference with the President was not announced. When pressed for an opinion on the political outlook, by a representative of The Associated Negro Press, Dr. Moton said: "I have great hopes after talking with President Hoover, that the present administration is going to consider our group in a larger and finer way than has been true for many years." "I believe that the President is determined to be fair and square in his treatment of us and oblivious to creed or color. It is my sanguine opinion that we will receive greater recognition and be given fuller opportunity to serve our country's affairs in more responsible places than hitherto has ever been true." "I am not worried about the so-called Lily-White' situation in the south. There ought to be on each of the patronage committees which are being set up in the various states one or more Negro representatives, and I am hopeful that this will be done." Dr. Moton was accompanied on his visit to the White House by Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age.

(Special to the Tribune—"Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson has commercialized his office to the extent that he receives from the Elks in salary and honorariums not less than $20,000 a year, I dare say," asserted heridan A. Brusaux, of the Keystone Detective Agency, who made an investigation of Elk affairs for prominent Elks, in an interview, Monday. "The Grand Exalted Ruler maintains an office in Washington for the publication of his weekly newspaper at 907 U street, northwest. Incidentally his newspaper is edited by Robert J. Nelson, the secretary of the civil liberties commission, who is paid $100 a month by the Elks. Another employee of the Grand Exalted Ruler's newspaper is Charles A. Marshall, a chiropractor, who, by appointment of Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson, is a grand auditor.

Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, Perry W. Howard, grand legal adviser, branded as ridiculous the charges of Casper Holstein, of New York, that Mr. Wilson had accepted from him $1,000 not to split the order by taking the 1927 convention away from New York City. Mr. Wilson spurned an offer of $20,000 in cash made by Mr. Holstein for the assurance that there would be no interference with the meeting of the grand lodge in New York City in 1927. Mr. Howard declared, and told Mr. Holstein that there was not enough money in the National City Bank to bribe him. Mr. Howard admitted that Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson compelled (Continued on page 4) COLORED WORK TWENTY IN HOSPITAL Automobile Washer Rescue Gas Lade The chief hero of the recent Cleveland hospital disaster was Robert Chares, a colored worker, who was able to rescue 20 persons by unequaled display of courage and physical strength. Chares was washing automobiles near the hospital when the explosion took place, and clouds of poisonous gas began to pour through the building and out the windows. Flames shot from the roof and the sides of the building, and the patients and nurses crowded to up- THE WOMAN KILLED IN FALL FROM WINDOW Rolls From Kitchen Roof To the Ground Falling from a back window at the home of her daughter, Saturday, Mrs. Mahalia Gross, 69, of 1208 Wylie street, northeast, received injuries which resulted in her death, Sunday morning at 5 o'clock. When her daughter, Mrs. Millie Hall, left her upstairs, Saturday, for a moment, she lost her balance and fell out of the back window onto the roof of the kitchen and pulled off of it onto the ground. She fell on her face and left side. Her daughter ran to her and assisted her to her feet and into the house. She did not appear to be suffering badly, but retired. During the night she grew worse and passed away in the early morning. The funeral was held Thursday at Lane C. M. E. Church, Fourteenth and C streets, northeast, with the pastor, Rev. Threlkeld, officiating. Interment was in Woodlawn Cemetery. Mrs. Gross leaves only a daughter, Mrs. Hall, with whom she made her home.

Chares seized a ladder and set it up the side of the building, but it was too short to reach the windows. He lifted it on his shoulders, holding it in the clouds of gas and smoke while ten persons, all able to move from that window, climbed down. Then, dropping the ladder, Chares rushed into the building and rescued ten more by dragging them to safety. WINNNG COMI PATERNITY OF WIFE'S CHILD DENIED PATERNITY OF WIFE'S CHILD DENIED Husband Files Suit for Annulment of Marriage, Alleging Deception Denying the paternity of a child born to his wife 24 days after their marriage. Louis A. Dodson, 1900 Third street, northwest, asked the District Supreme Court, last Saturday, to annul his marriage to Mrs. Ethel Crockett Dodson. He alleges in his petition that he was induced to marry "by the false, deceptive and fraudulent representations of the defendant." She concealed from him, he says, her condition. A child was born to his wife April 27 last, he alleges. He is not the father, he declares. The name of the father is unknown to him, he adds. The couple were married April 3, 1929, in Alexandria, Va. Dodson is represented by Attorney George A. Parker. LEE COLEMAN DIES Lee Coleman died Saturday, May 15, after a brief illness. He was the son of the late Rev. Harry Lee Coleman.

LAND SALE APPROVED $26,000 To Be Distributed To Fifty Heirs of Original Members of Colored Union Benevolent Justice Jennings Bailey in equity court last Monday approved of the sale of two parcels of land by George E. Emmons, Harry A. Clarke and Whitefield McKinlay, permanent receivers of the Colored Union Benevolent Association, which is being dissolved under an act of Congress. The land was sold to the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. One parcel of 1,581 square feet was sold for the sum of $790.50. The other tract of 38,288 square feet, was sold for the sum of $25,064. Interested persons were given thirty days in which to show cause why the sale should not be finally ratified. The two parcels were parts of land which was used as a cemetery until 1889, when the health department directed that it be no longer used as a burial ground. This land was originally a part of the estate of John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States. It was conveyed to the trustees of the Union Benevolent Association, April 1, 1870. Descendants of John Quincy Adams sought to have the land reverted to them. They claimed that the land was conveyed in trust for the benefit of the Colored Union Benevolent Association for the sole purpose of carrying out its object of providing a cemetery for deceased members. When the object of the association was terminated, they contend- 20,000. MILE TIRE SALE 250,000. BANKRUPT STOCK 1/2 OFF!

The Injunctions "It is necessary to differentiate between the fight to dissolve the New York State injunction and the litigation at Newark, N.J. The grand lodge at Cleveland pledged its resources behind the effort to dissolve the New York State injunction. The court proceedings in Newark had to do with the dissolution of a temporary injunction issued out by Manhattan, Monarch and Imperial lodges to restrain the grand lodge from meeting in any other place than New York City.

Pope B. Billups, Francis E. Rivers, and their associates got busy, with the grand exalted ruler placing the full weight of his influence, energy and the resources of the order behind their efforts, and the New York State injunction was dissolved. Wilson Opposes Expenditure Wilson Opposes Expenditure "The sum of $2,500, Mr. Holstein speaks of had to do solely with the litigation in Newark. The grand exalted ruler refused to stand for the expenditure of one penny of the order's money for that litigation. Mr. Holstein offered to advance the money and have himself reimbursed by the New York committee on arrangements, which was responsible for the litigation. "Mr. Holstein did advance the money, and the sum of $2,500 was disbursed among the following attorneys for their legal services: Arthur G. Froe, E. A. T. Watkins, Chicago, Ill.; Oliver Randolph, Newark, N.J.; Eugene R. Haynes, Asbury Park, N.J.; Leroy Jordan, Elizabeth, N.J.; and Louis R. Mehlinger. "Mr. Holstein knew these were the facts, but he did not tell the whole truth. Twenty $1,000 Bills "His statement with reference to Mr. Wilson accepting $1,000 from him 'not to split the order' is utterly ridiculous. Mr. Holstein came to Washington long before the grand lodge was to be convened or any injunction proceedings were begun. At the home of the grand exalted ruler and in the presence of Mr. Froe, the late Charles Picket, Dr. Charles B. Fisher, John T. Risher, S. A. T. Watkins, and others, tossed upon Mr. Wilson's bed twenty $1,000 bills, offering the money to Grand Exalted Ruler for his assurance that the grand lodge would meet in New York. "The grand exalted ruler resented Mr. Holstein's action as an offer of a bribe. Mr. Holstein made apologies and asked the grand exalted ruler what would induce him to assure him (Holstein) that the grand lodge would be held in New York. Wilson's Answer "Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson replied that when the New York lodges complied with the mandate of the Cleveland grand lodge and had the injunction of the white Elks dissolved, the grand lodge session would be held in New York City. 'There is not enough money in the National City Bank to induce me to carry the grand lodge to New York in the face of that injunction and endanger the liberty of the delegates,' he said. Does it appear tenable to any reasonable mind that Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson for the consideration of $1,000 would have carried the grand lodge to New York for Mr. Holstein when on another occasion he resented an offer of $20,000 to take it there? "As for the $5,000, this sum was appropriated by the grand lodge to the New York committee on arrangements as a result of the appeals on the part of the committee for an appropriation to meet a deficit, which they claimed was $15,000. The grand lodge would not consent to meet more than one-third of it. Mr. Holstein was one of the most vociferous petitioners for this appropriation and now after the grand lodge heard his appeal he seeks to take advantage of it as campaign thunder in his candidacy for the office of grand exalted ruler. "But I am at pains to understand why he enters such a strenuous objection to the payment of $2,500 to six Negro lawyers for Contractor and Builder We specialize in building and remodeling both home and business properties.

H. Dyett, Pope, Billups and others." WIFE EXALTED RULER'S SECRETARY (Continued from page 1) Home is Office "When the grand exalted ruler is in Washington, he receives his callers and answers correspondence at his home, 1813 Vernon street, northwest. His wife acts as his secretary. It is only fair to presume that the clerk allowance of $100 a month goes to her or into the family coffers, of which, I am told, she is the custodian. "At the grand lodge session here last year, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson required the services of four secretaries, Edward Lawson, Frank D. Wilson, Joseph H. B. Evans, and Frank A. Byron. Each of them was paid $100 except Lawson who received $114.10. "He required 20 special police officers for his protection. The grand lodge paid $1918 to these officers: P. T. Brown, $2; Herbert S. Harth, $10; J. T. Grimes, $4; Robert L. Henderson, $4; Major R. R. Jackson, $42 Littleton McDuff, $42; Matthew Russell, $42; Frank Sutton, $35; W. M. Wise, $42; T. H. Whitfield, $42 Wallace Williams, $42; Willie White, $42; James H. Williams, $42; John C. Johnson, $42; B. H. Wade, $60; William Middleton, $52; John Armstrong, $52; John T. Scott, $15; James B. Tucker, $40; W. S. Williams, $15; W. Franklin, $45. Ruler for Seven Years "Mr. Wilson has been the grand exalted ruler for seven years. In that period he has fattened on the emulators of the office. The office was not intended as a job for anyone. It is an honor to which any Elk may aspire. There never will be a more propitious time than the grand lodge session at Atlantic City in August to choose a successor to this czar of Elkdom who has squandered the funds of the order." Bruseaux concluded his tirade. The office of grand exalted ruler cost the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World the sum of $10,394 for the grand lodge year from August 12, 1927, to August 6, 1928, according to the minutes of the twenty-ninth annual grand lodge session held here last August. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson in that twelve-month period drew salary and expenses thirteen times in amounts varying from $669.50 to $902.40, the minutes show. Salary and expenses totaled $9.783.77. Wilson's Salary The salary of the grand exalted ruler is fixed at $5,000 a year. He is allowed clerk hire of $1,200 a year. The amount he received exceeds by $3,583 the amount he is entitled to receive as salary and clerk hire. Mr. Brusesaux pointed out. No explanation is made in the minutes of the difference between the sum of $516.67 that Mr. Wilson is entitled to receive monthly as salary for himself and clerk hire and the amount he was actually paid. The thirteen entries simply show that Mr. Wilson was paid the various amounts for salary and expenses.

Other Money Received In addition to the total of $9,783.77 for salary and expenses, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson also received the sum of $90 for commission for a lodge at Mounds, Ill.; $222.46 for a trip to Chicago and Memphis, and $7.95 for postage. His printing cost $235.26 additional. Legal services rendered him by Francis E. Rivers, an attorney of New York, cost the order $25, although Perry W. Howard, grand legal adviser, is paid a salary of $1,200 a year. This total of $10,394.44 represents money that Grand Exalted Ruler received from the grand lodge treasury. Other moneys, Mr. Brusaeux observed, were paid him by local lodges. Whenever the grand exalted ruler institutes a lodge he receives a commission, the detective stated. Whenever Mr. Wilson visits a lodge, dedicates a home, or does anything in connection with his duties as grand exalted ruler, he receives his expenses and an honorarium, Mr. Brusaeux said.

Harris made short work of possible hits, The Hilldales did not seem to be able to hit in a pinch. In three or four instances they had the bases full, but no one was able to get_a hit. Once in the ninth in- ning there were two men on bases ang, Meredith and C. Green. were sent into pinch hit, but Moten had them fanning the air too. The Giants started off with a two-run lead in the first inning and con- tinued to lead throughout the whole game., ‘They gathered three more runs in the fourth, three in the sixth, and one in the seventh. The Hillsdales scored one in the third, two in the fourth, and three in the eighth when Broadus, their hard- hitting ve fielder, hit a home- run over the center fielder’s head, Although the Hillsdales lost a hard-fought game, they are ac- credited with the first home run for the 1929 season of the Tribune ‘League.

It seems as if many of the teams are not in the pink’ of condition, which of course is not really expected so early in the “season. ‘The Togans. lost a Yery hard game, one that seemed to be a sure victory in the seventh inning when the score stood 8 to 0. They were playing the Arling- ton A.C., of South Washington, Va., gn theit own diamond in Ivy City ‘The Togans’ pitcher held the Ar- {ington nine scoreless until the sev. enth and then fell down. Arling- ton, scored eight runs in the eighth inning and six in the ninth. ‘The final seore was 14 to 5. Another unexpected defeat was the Potomac Giants, beating the Hillsdales.

In the eighth inning the Hillsdale attempted a rally when Broadus, their all-star center fielder of the Hillsdales, connected with one that sailed over the left- fielder’s head for the first, home run of this season, He scored two runs in ahead of him.

Thursday night when it held its "Theatrical Night." Opportunity was given to the members, and friends of the club to enjoy Johnny Hudgins, the tremendously popular star of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds." Johnny Hudgins was at his best, and the thunderous applause that greeted him was a worthwhile tribute to his ability. Among the other celebrities of the stage who were well received were Mr. S. H. Dudley, nationally known as the premier of the all; Bob Williams, formerly of the Regent Theatre, Chicago.( and now master of ceremonies, Howard Theatre; and Addison Carey, scenic producer of the Howard Theatre. Supper, refreshments and smokes were served and the new president, Daniel I. Renfro, was heartily congratulated on the huge success of the affair. Maurice C. Clifford is secretary of the club. ure Bound," with Bob (Uke) Williams as master of ceremonies, assisted by Galli DeGaton, Charles Ray, George Bias, Joe Byrd, the Howardettes and the Howard Orchestra, and in addition thereto there will be a gala array of visiting artists direct from Broadway. On the screen, Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, there will be Douglas McLean in "The Carnation Kid." On the screen, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, will be Clara Bow in "The Wild Party." Those movie-goers who have always thought that Clara Bow had the monopoly on that vague but real, elusive but stable thing "IT," were given a chance to re-inforce their convictions, but they were forced to admit that even if Clara has the monopoly there are a number of near-monopolizers in the oing. Wednesday is opportunity night, and Saturday is gift night. There will be a midnight ramble, Friday night at 12:15. "Show Boat" To Remain for Second Week at The Republic So great has been the public respond to Carl Laemmle's singing and talking triumph, "Show Boat" that it will remain a second week at the Republic Theatre, starting Saturday, May 25. By special arrangement with Florenz Ziegfeld, producer of the stage musical extravaganza, "Show Boat," from the same story, the picture includes movietone highlights from the show, with such popular Ziegfeld stars as Jules Bledsoe, singing "Old Man River," Aunt Jemima and the Ziegfeld Plantation Singers, singing "Hey Feller," and Helen Morgan singing a catchy number. The screen production is rich in music, from the strident steam calliore tunes of long ago down to the Negro spirituals so popular today. Much of the action and gripping drama of "Show Boat" takes place on a real Mississippi River show boat, constructed especially for the picture. The romance and young love amid these bizarre surroundings makes one of the most touching sweetheart stories ever filmed. For the accommodation of patrons during the "Show Boat" engagement the Republic will open daily at 12 noon and Sunday at 2 p.m. HOWARD THEATRE T St., near 7th, N.W.

BIG MIDNIGHT RAMBLE FRIDAY NIGHT, 12:15 TESTIMONIAL GIVEN S. H. DUDLEY Famous Theatre Man Honored by Many Friends at Banquet S. H. Dudley, well known and popular theatre man, was tendered a banquet and testimonial by his many friends and well wishers last Thursday at the Lincoln Colonnade. Mr. Perry Howard was JOHN H. HARRIS S. H. DUDLEY, SR. toastmaster and a score of speakers lauded the guest of honor. Among the speakers were Emmett J. Scott, Herbert Jones, A. E. Lichtman, Benjamin Gaskins, J. Scott Murray, Thomas Beckett, Thomas Smith, of Baltimore; Neval Thomas, S. H. Dudley, Jr., J. Finley Wilson, M. M. Harris, Jesse Foster, Judge Hueston, Mrs. J. C. Dowling, Rufus Byars, and Robert Nelson. Mr. Dudley's response was a classic. "If the kind things that have been said about me had gone to my head," he said, "I could talk for my head has a tongue, but these things have gone to my heart, which having no tongue, cannot speak." Mr. Dudley was donated a trip to California. Many telegrams of congratulation were received. "Hearts in Dixie" at Lincoln Stars Colored Players The Fox Movietone all-talking full-length feature, "Hearts in Dixie" which comes to the Lincoln Theatre for one week beginning Saturday, May 25th, and running through Friday, May 31, is looked upon by those who have seen previews as the most important contribution to the speaking screen so far made because it utilizes music in the most extensive way yet undertaken. In the interest of developing the spoken film play along lines that adapt the best technique of the stage while not hampering the art of the motion picture which is peculiar to itself, Fox Movietone has turned to music—both vocal and instrumental, in ensemble as well as solo—as the element which gives the greatest plasticity to the new form of expression contained in the "talkie." On the Vitaphone will be heard and seen all colored short subjects including George Dewey Washington, the sensational baritone and an all talking comedy, "Framing of the Shrew" with Evelyn Preer. Edward Thompson, and Spencer Williams. "Pleasure Bound" on How- ard Stage Next Week On the stage beginning Monday matinee, May 27, the Howard management is presenting Addison Carey's later presentation. "Pleas THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

LEW LESLIE ENTERTAINS HIS "BLACKBIRDS" Mother's Day was a bright one for the members of "Blackbirds," in celebration of one year on Broadway at the Eltinge Theatre, Lew Leslie, producer, entertained with a banquet at the beautiful Lexington Hall. Along with the company members, there was Florence Mills' mother, Maude Mills, Cecil McPherson, Dr. Gertrude Curtis, Will Vodery, Revella Hughes, Nan Thurston, Mrs. Fred Moore, Garland Anderson, Florence Emery Jones, Minto Cato, Andy Razaf, Jerry Preston, Jack Duncan, Lita Grey Chapla, Irwin and Jack Mills, Jimmie McHugh, Dorothy Fields, Jules Kennell, the honorable Mayor Walker, McCleary Stinette, Wilhelmina Adams, Bee Palmer, Betty Compton, Connie Imerman, Madeline Belt, Marcia Lansing, Ricardo Landrez, Alberta Pryme, Lucia Moses, the Russell Smiths, Charles King, Fletcher Henderson, and many others. Bill Robinson acted as master of ceremonies, and between courses and sipping, there was some speech making, and Adelaide Hall, Aida Ward, Bee Palmer, Lita Grey Chaplin, Peg Leg Bates, and Eddie Rector sang and danced, also Mrs. Bojangles danced a few steps with her husband. Fletcher Henderson and his boys furnished the music for dancing and the party became better and better as the morning went on. SECOND "BLACKBIRDS" TO REPLACE ORIGINAL COMPANY The original company of "Blackbirds" that has been playing Broadway for more than a year ended its run at the Eltinge Theatre, Saturday, and is scheduled to sail for France on Friday, where it will open June 7, in Paris for a run. The number two company of "Blackbirds" that has been on tour moved into the Eltinge, replacing the original company. BILL ROBINSON RETURNS TO VAUDEVILLE It is rumored that Bill (Bojani) Robinson, "Blackbirds" star RADIOS TAP DANCE PETER BILL (BOJAN- GLES) ROBIN- SON was the star of a radio pro- gram of the Keith-Albee Circ uit over a nation wide network of the Natio nal Broadcasting Company, Tuesday night. will turn to vaudeville instead of making the trip to Europe with "Blackbirds" opening at the Palace the first part of June. JOHNNY HUDGINS Johnny Hudgins, who was one of the featured comedians in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds," has returned to vaudeville and opened at the Howard Theatre. Monday. ANOTHER ONE FOR THE MOVIES Stepin Fechit and Oscar Smith have already made names for themselves in the movies and now comes George Reed, who has an important role in "Magnolia." ERNEST TAYLOR NOW WITH "MESSIN" AROUND William McKelvey, who was one of the featured dancers in Perry Bradford and Jimmie Johnson's "Messin' Around" has been replaced by Ernest Taylor, formerly one of the "Two Black Dots" and late of Connie's Inn. U. S. THOMPSON LEAVING FOR HOLLYWOOD U. S. Thompson, husband of the late Florence Mills, has accepted an offer for the movies and will accompany Clarence Robinson and several dancing girls to the West Coast, leaving some time this week. MOVIE STAR SUED FOR DIVORCE Paramount has a colored actor under contract because he stutters and he is therefore peculiarly valuable for the talkies. His name is Oscar Smith, formerly the studio bootblack. Prosperity has made Oscar one of the most envised bootblacks on Hollywood. Apparently, however, it has not brought him Oscar Smith, formerly the studio however, it has not brought him unalloyed bliss because he is being sued for divorce. He was at one time Wallie Reid's valet. "MESSIN' AROUND" IN FOR LAW SUIT The New York Times' legal department is taking steps against Perry Bradford and Jimmie Johnson's "Messin' Around," now playing the Hudson Theatre. The quarrel between the paper and the show arose over the latters allegedly improper use of the Times' review written by John Bryamn, dramatic editor. The notice referred to "Blackbirds" as setting the town's standard for all-colored song and dance shows. It is charged that the management of "Messin' Around" twisted the sense of the comment to indicate that it was the opinion of the critics for the purposes of advertising. Billing of that nature is being used. It has been the subject of scorn and some bitterness by reviewers in their printed remarks. The action of the Times, however, is the first noticed where daimies aim to legally enjoy managers from such practices.

CANADA LEE REFEREES "MESSIN' AROUND" After a misunderstanding with the musicians' union just before last Wednesday night's midnight performance, that caused the orchestra to be pulled out and everybody's money refunded, "Messin' Around" re-opened for their regular Tuesday evening's show. At this performance, Canada Lee, colored welterweight champion, refereed the Wheedlin and Maitland bout, which is part of this revue. "PORGY" STAYS IN LONDON The Theatre Guild's play, "Porgy" that has caused such a sensation in London, after opening a few weeks ago, has cancelled its continental tour for the present and will remain in London for an extended run. "Married Life" Not Worth While Blames Wives’ “Nerves” “Weak nerves,” said a New York doctor recently, “in my estimation wreck more happily married lives than any other cause.” Besides making the sweetest disposition sour and irritable, nervousness is a terrible drain on your vital forces—it saps your youth and your strength and dulls your beauty. What a difference from the bright-eyed, vibrant girl he married. No wonder married life seems unbearable! But you can get rid of your nervousness—speedily too and become the steward and restraint woman you once were. Take a teapoonful of Tanzanite before meals and before going to bed and if it doesn’t soon make a new woman of you—doesn’t rid you of that tired, strained feeling—go back and get your money. Go to your druggist now and get a bottle of Tanlac. Millions of folks have started back on the road to youth, health and happiness with this world famous tonic and there is no reason why you, too, can't begin today to rebuild your worn-out tissues and revitalize your entire system. Tanlac 52 MILLION BOTTLES USED WHITE ORCHESTRA NEW YORK.—For the first time in the history of commercial broadcasting a colored orchestra leader directed a white orchestra playing the colored leader's compositions, when W. C. Handy, "Father of the Blues," led Litmann's orchestra over station WABC, recently. Jockey's Memory Honored The memory of Isaac Murphy, described as the greatest of colored jockeys, who died at Lexington, Ky., in 1898, was honored at a meeting of the Ancient Order of American Horsemen this week, when a committee was appointed to visit and decorate his grave. A similar ceremony will be performed each year on February 12. Murphy was the only rider over to win three Kentucky Derby's. His most sensational victory came in 1891 when he rode the great Salvator to a hair-breadth finish over Tenny. In speaking of the fidelity of the Negro jockey, Messrs. J. B. Snodgrass and Wesley Stout, in a recent article appearing in the Saturday Evening Post, state: "The sentiment binding the Negro and the thoroughbred is lasting and genuine; they understand one another and there is no branch of horsemanship in which members of the race have not excelled. In other days the leading jockeys nearly all were colored, and why they have ceased to be is puzzling; apparently it is a matter of fashion. The blacks have not relinquished any other duties around horses and there is no instance on record of one having been bribed into disloyalty to a charge." 1930 Suffered a Long Time MRS. ALTHEA BURRIS, 202 E. Vine Ave., Knoxville, Tenn., of whom a picture is printed above, writes: "I suffered a great deal and a long time with a pain in my side and extreme weakness in my back. It hurt me to straighten, and I had quite a bit of pain when I stood on my feet. "I was looking around for something to help me. I read in the newspaper about Cardul, and decided to try it. After my first bottle, I felt better. I continued taking Cardul until I had finished six bottles. By that time, I was stronger and better than I had been in a long time." Cardul has been in use by women for over 50 years. Try it for your troubles. 7th and T Sts Northwest Phone, North 8224 STAGE SCREEN news, that beats all I've ever heard of—the Potomac Giants, almostly Hildales.

The most unexploited subject in all the world—the Negro—is find- ing its way, more and more, into the literature of the world. News- Papers are giving more space to various phases of Negro Tife and doings. Magazines are seeking copy on the Negro. Books are coming ‘off the press regularly dealing with the new subject—The Negro. It is significant that three recent awards in literary accomplish- ‘ment went to persons who wrote on the Negro. The Pulitzer award for the best editorial of the year went to Editor Jaffe, of the Norfolk Pat, for his editorial on “Anti-Lynching.”| The best novel, by Julian feterkin, “Scarlet Sister Mary,” deals with a colored woman. ‘The best, volume of verse, “John Brown's Body,” by Steven Vincent Barrett, dealing with the Negro’s effect upon the nation. The editorial in the June issue of The American Mereury is given completely to the present condition and future possibilities of the Negro. A very keen analysis of the economic condition confronting the Negro is dealt with, n THIS IS CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION Tn a musical contest in Boston, a young colored woman won first place and was due a prize purse of $500.00. But since the South actually and morally won the Civil War and Christian Civilization surrendered to Satanic prejudice, staid old Boston bowed to the illiterate South on the color question and refused to give first. place to the young lady of color, who actually won it. Asked about the decision, one of the judges declared: “According torthe rules laid down by the federation members in the South and ‘West, where prejudice against colored is strong, a colored singer, even Phtiowed to win in preliminaries in New England, would aot be allowed to compete in finals, conseauently it is thought best not to award first, place to a colored person, whether he deserves it or not.”” ‘Another example of’ this Christian Civilization bowing to Satanic Prejudice is that of Edward Gardiner, colored runner in C.C. Pyle's cross country marathon now in progress from New York to Los fAngeles. The route this year was laid through southwestern Dixie- land. As the runners reached the land of 100 ner cent Americans and 100 per cent racial prejudice, Gardner was leading. He was hissed, interfered with in various ways, and even bad stones thrown at him. He was refused meals and lodging and told he would be killed if he jon the race. What pangs must “white supremacy” be suffering to resort to uch inhuman acts to uphold its claim?

One day I saw the color in your hair, A color slumberous and like the wing Of ravens, turn bright with a gold- en glare, s And sparkle with a thousand dyes. Oh sing My soul, sing for this maid an ardent song With lutes and timbrels in some dreamy isle, Where enchantment rides the winds all day long. And where the suns are deep, the waters smile. Oh sing a magic ditty of my love Until this maiden's tender eyes shall turn Upon me, and the wondrous joy thereof. Oh sing until my fevered heart shall burn No more, and in Elysium I will Retreat with her unto a fragrant hill. —Milton Brighte.

Scott, at the weekly lunch- eon of the Insurance Managers ct the Whitelaw Hotel, Thursday. ‘After congratulating the man- ‘agers for their co-operative spirit represented by this organization, Dr ‘Seott quoted ex-President Cool- idge on insurance. He said: , “Former President Calvin Cool- idge in agreeing to become a di- ‘rector of the New York Life In- ‘surance Company last week, wrote: ‘T believe that life insurance is the most effective instrumentality for the promotion of industry, saving, and character, ever de- vised;® and also that he was glad ‘to lend his name and influence to the promotion of life insurance as a form of social -service.’”” ‘The speaker dwelt upon the “so- cial service” part of insurance, and said that he was surprised to find more than 60,000,000 people in this country carrying’ some kind of in- surance, and that while the colored people numbered about one-tenth of the population, they carried about one-eighth of the insurance in colored companies. “I do not believe the colored. people realize what , you, gentlemen mean to them,” said Dr. Scott. “I am of the opinion that colored insurance companies mean more to the racial group than their educational insti- tutions.” Mr. T. Bradshaw is president of this organization, and William B. Stevenson is secretary, and in charge of the program for the month of May.
