From "Blackbird "Talkie" Star! At Last! 16 Year Old Nina May McKenney's Own Story of Her Meteoric Rise to Talkie Fame! Hollywood, land of the fantastic, the imaginative, the creative, has opened its doors to the Negro. Heretofore it has used an occasional butler, "mammy" or child comedian, but now hundreds of Negro extras and scores of stars swarm over the lots of the largest studios in Culver City. "Negro is Born Actor" Directors will tell you that the Negro is a born actor and that his voice is more adaptable for the "talkies" than that of any other race. Much depends upon the Negro pioneers in this field of art. Interviewing some of them, we are convinced that the race will be well represented. Their voices blend perfectly in the old spirituals and folk songs of the Negro. Their voices, soft and intonating are suited perfectly for screen-sound reproduction. King Vidor, director of "Hallelujah," and the first director to accord the Negro an opportunity for dramatic expression, said: "I am trying to do for Negro talent what we did for the doughboy in the 'Big Parade.'" And, judging from press comments, Mr. Vidor has produced a superb cinema. "From Blackbird to Blue Bird" From the obscure ranks of a girl of the chorus to a stellar part in the first all-colored talkie drama—such has been the startling success of petite Nina May McKenney. Rhythmically bowing and dipping, swaying and turning with a troupe of seasoned chorus girls, she was unconscious of the critical eyes of the great director, King Vidor. She did not know that the pendulum had swung from mediocrity to stardom when he viewed her with unusual interest. To her the crowd was simply composed of tired people who were looking to Harlem Blackbirds for a different kind of amuse- Nina May, the Danseuse. Here she is as she used to do her stuff before the movies lured her away from the footlights. Illustrated Feature Section BEN DAVIS.

To her the crowd was her present means of livelihood, and she was there to do her best. Native of South Carolina "Are you a native New Yorker?" I asked Miss McKenney. "No, I was born in South Carolina on the estate where our family had lived several generations. My grandmother was an old and trusted servant of this household. She it was, who reared me until I was about twelve years old. Then my father, who was in New York, sent for me. "Imagine my delight at this big metropolitan city. I was constantly thrilled by the wonders unfolded to me. Its skyscrapers, its parks, the theatres, anything, everything was a veritable fairyland, and I beheld its glories in wide-eyed amazement. Chorine to "The theatre especially interested me. I never tired of going to picture shows. Inviably I saw myself in the role of a great star. Many times after seeing an impressive picture I went home and shut myself in my room. There I would 'dress up' as most little girls do, and before my mirror I would enact the scenes I had just witnessed. If anyone came into my room or peeked at me, I became very angry. Immediately my play was spoiled. Had not my imaginary audience of thousands been reduced to one inquisitive and unsympathetic person? It was too much for my soul and I rebelled with all the fierceness of a hurt child. "About three years later I joined the chorus of 'Lew Leslie's Blackbirds of 1928.'"

"What training did you have before going in the chorus?" was another question asked Miss McKenney. "None whatever from a teacher, if that is what you mean, I taught myself. I would see a dancer perform. Then, as I told you before, I would go home and imitate her until I had as much of the dance as I could remember perfectly. It was the same with any other type of acting. Before my mirror I affected sorrow, gladness, bewilderment and consternation. "Put Thru the Mill" ... "But after joining the Blackbirds, Lew Leslie 'put me thru the mill,' as the old saying goes. The routine was very trying, but I was happy.

But there is one thing that no visitor to an office expects, and that is, to find the stenographer sleeping. Yet that is just what he would have seen if one summer day about two o'clock in the afternoon he had chanced to drop in at the office of Maximus Sylvan on Seventh avenue, the promenade of Harlem. There a girl in a swivel chair was bent forward on a desk, with her head on her folded arms. She was fast asleep. Outside the open door buses lumbered by and cars tooted their horns, but still the lady slept. It goes without saying that her employer was absent, as, indeed, he was most of the time. Judging from the railroad maps and the highly colored lithographs of ocean liners on the wall, an innocent person would think that Maximus Sylvan was a transportation executive or agent. One should not be too hard on him for this display, for, after all, a wall ought to have something on it. The other furnishings of the office were an enormous rolltop mahogany desk which had closed down over its se- --- creets, a hat rack, a shelf of thick law books, and six or eight small chairs ranged along the walls. The sign on the window read: Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate, Employment Agency, Notary Public To the list of furnishings must be added the desk and chair that held the sleeping beauty. That she was a beauty was evident, even without a sight of her face. There was a something in the curve of her back, in the reddish, almost transparent brown of her neck, in the tumbled mass of bobbed hair that sparkled like coals in the sunlight—a something which meant that the face that accompanied them just had to be beautiful. At half-past two a taxicab on the avenue sideswiped an automobile, and the breaking glass splintered the lady's dreams. She didn't know what woke her up. She raised her head, sat up, yawned and stretched her arms. Then alas! She scratched her neck. But even that did not detract from her beauty. The ruddy, autumn-leaf brown of her neck extended to her face. They speak of the skin you would love to touch, but hers was a skin you would fear to touch lest your fingers should pierce it. She had an uptilted nose that might be cute or combative, according to the occasion, a sloping forehead with the unruly black curls HLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION part story by AUBREY BOWSE tumbling over it, and a mouth—what poet can do justice to these colored girls' mouths? Just let us say that no man would miss a chance to kiss it. The lady's eyes were dulled with sleep, but about one minute after she awoke they suddenly brightened with a look of consternation. Her hands dived to the edge of her dress—but no, that was all right. Somewhat but not entirely reassured, she sat up straight. She had discovered a man in the office. He must have seen her stretching and scratching after her nap, and what young woman wishes to be seen at such a disadvantage? She was about to speak to him and ask his business, when she stopped short in amazement. The young man, too, was asleep! "Well, can you beat that!" she marveled, with feminine inconsistency. "Come to an office on business and goes to sleep. The nerve of it! I'll wake him up." With a mischievous smile she picked up an inkwell and banged it down on her desk. The young man did not jump. He stirred lazily, blinked, and slowly came to life. "Why spoil my nap?" he drawled, "I did not interrupt yours." She flushed. "Well," she replied, "I assume that you came here on business." "I did." "So I thought you would rather transact it while awake." "I generally do," was his unabashed and good-humored reply. "though in thinking back over some of my mistakes I realize I must have been asleep when I made them. But I sauntered in here a while ago, and finding you asleep I decided to wait till you woke up. Besides, you looked so——" "Yes, yes, I know," she interrupted, for she had had her fill of flattery, "I looked so beautiful you hated to spoil the picture." "Beautiful? No. You looked like a dog-tired kid that had been spanked and put to bed." At this unexpected reply she looked at him more closely. He was about twenty-eight, she thought, five years older than she. He was of middle height, with a compact frame that suggested athletics. His face was dark brown and humorous, almost ugly, with blunt features and short hair. His eyes were intelligent and she fancied she detected a trace of suffering in them. She thought she did all this without his noticing it, but she was mistaken. "Well," he drawled, "now you've looked me over. I think you missed my feet, though. They're very large—number elevens." Eugenia Ward—that was her name—did not wish the young man to think she could be interested in him on such short acquaintance. She put on her business front. "May I ask what is your business?" "Business! I haven't any. Once I had a business and a wife, too, but both of 'em divorced me." "Divorced!" she cried in spite of herself. "Sure," he answered merrily. "My former partner's married to both of 'em now, her and the business. They did me up brown while they were about it." Eugenia was aching to hear more, but she was chary of showing it. She became the woman of business again. "Too bad. But I wasn't asking about your former business. I only wished to know what was your business at this office." "To see Maximus Sylvan. Are you she?" "Of course not. Maximus is a man's name, you know." "Yes, but the women are taking everything else of ours now, so they might take our names. Besides, who on earth can tell what's behind a name like Maximus Sylvan? Is it real?" "Of course it is." "Somehow," he muttered, "I can't imagine anybody being born with a name like that. Where did he get it—or did it get him?" Eugenia felt like laughing, but she meant to be loyal to her employer. He wasn't much of an employer, it is true; he sometimes had a lapse of memory on pay day; but while she was with him she wished to be loyal. "But you haven't told me your business here, Mr. —" "Mr. Bertrand Deveaux. Now you're wondering why such a fine name picked me out. Well, they tagged me with it, and it sticks." "But your business, Mr. Bertrand Deveaux?" "Im looking for a job." "A job? Why I don't think Mr. Sylvan needs anyone, but I'll ask him." "I don't want a job here, lady. I want him to get me a job. Isn't this an employment agency? The sign on the window says so." Eugenia was nervous, her employer had never even mentioned the employment business. "Yes, yes, of course," she answered hastily. "I say, young lady," he queried, "just which one of those signs on the window is real?" "Oh, all of them. Mr. Sylvan's interests are numerous and varied. Only, we haven't done much in the employment line lately—things are very dull. It is always so in a Presidential year." "You're all right, young lady." he said admiringly. I'd tell a lie for my boss, too, if I had one. If I hadn't given up the marrying business for good I think I'd look you up again. As it is, all the king's horses and men couldn't make me commit matrimony again. "Oh, some woman will get you." "Not a chance. I only need to tell 'em I'm broke, and that'll scare any woman away." "But she herself may have money." "Ah, that's different. By the way, have you any money?" "Yes," she laughed. "I have all of thirty-five cents." "Well, that lets you out. If you had some money I confess I might propose to you, just from what I've seen of you today. But no money? Not a chance. Good bye. I'm off to the next employment office—I hope (Continued on page eight) Explaining the Science of Dreams By EFFA DANELSON Dreams fall into two classes—phphetic and non-prophetic. A prophetic dream is reflected on the brain mirror, that is, it is projected into the creative brain either by the independent will which is temporarily detached, or by the will of another, while the physical body is in the repose of sleep. A non-prophetic dream is caused by some disturbance in the physical body at one of the numerous centers supplying the visual organs of the body. A dream of this class is commonly called a nightmare. The value of a dream lies in its logical interpretation. No two dreams have the same significance, no matter if dreamed by the same person, and each dream must therefore be considered separately, although one Nimble SKETCH BY A.W.Ren Fascinating Amu ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 For table M CH-A W.W.Renneg Amusing JKLMNOPQRS JKLMNOPQRS For ible Minds H-A-COWC W.Rennegarbe Amusing·Entertaining KLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 For Nimble Minds SKETCH-A-COMIC By A.W.Rennegarbe Fascinating • Amusing • Entertaining ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ KEY TO COMIC Start line at point R 10, continue line S 12, U 16, U 20, T 22, Q 22, Q 21, L 16, L 15, J 15, L 15, P 12, R 17, .

NOTE: Correct Solution WILL Appear in the Space NEXT ISSUE dream may and often does form a link in the interpretation of other dreams. Dreams have generally been classed with fancies to be laughed at or with evil omens to be shunned, although by referring to the Bible you will find that its teachings are all based on dreams as interpreted by the prophets of those days. The world has missed a great deal since the laws of various countries have abolished the prophets. But we are again coming into the dream or vision age, and humanity, through its visions, will yet become truly advanced. Dreams, properly speaking, are in- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION the Science In Brought to Justice Through Some my a Disaster Has Been Prevented by dream that Seems at First Very Insign y a Revelation of the Greatest Imp uced by the will of the dreamer while the body sleeps. This is accomplished by the "will" of the dreamer detaching itself from the burden of the physical body and taking what is called an astral flight. The "will" goes foraging, as it were, or makes a general survey of future events of importance to the dreamer, filling the memory cells with pictures of them. Any disturbance of the body distorts or dissembles these pictures in the same way that objects become blurred on the film of a camera. Visions are not to be classed as dreams. Visions are pictures projected directly into the creative brain by an outside will which may be either the will of a person termed a spirit or the will of one living in the material world. If a vision comes from the former, it is classed as a psychic revelation; if from the latter, it is known as telepathy. In both cases the processes and results are the same. The dream is burned, so to speak, into the creative brain mirror and the physical brain conceives it and carries it to the memory cell of that brain, when the dreamer becomes conscious of it and, through recognizing it, draws to himself the individual whose will projected the picture. Offtimes the events of the vision are brought about by the combined forces of the dreamer and the projector. Dreams portray events and are like shadows. Visions are actualities and are records in themselves of that of which they are prophetic and destined to fulfillment. Individuals whose creative brain corpuscles are psychically organized rarely, if ever, dream or have visions while in the dream state, but perceive the dream imagery while awake. Such visions are called hunches or premonitions. The governing law and the process of reflection and projection are the same in visions received in the dream state. That portion of the brain which receives the image must be at rest to obtain a clear vision of the symbol. Dreams and visions are not chance things, but vibrations that reach us through the ether by way of the blood or nerve streams, and they are a part of our lives to be worked out by scientific interpretation through psychometry.

As time passes, greater wonders will be revealed and man will see beyond the so-called veil that now obscures lis vision of life in the astral world— now called the dream world. In conclusion, a word of encour- agement to the dreamer of dreams and seer of visions: Realize the importance of your power to dream or see visions. A dream that seems at first thought very insignificant may earry a_revel- ation of the greatest importance to you. Therefore, if you have a dream or vision, do not_make light of it, ‘but study it from all angles to find out what relation it bears. to the af- fairs of er life or to the affairs in the lives of those - dear to you. Take it imto-silent thought in your waking hour that you may transfer its meaning from a visionary idea te a concrete reality applicable to the important Seine. in life. Re- member, when visualizing these rare moments of sleep, that you held at the time a very precious jewel, the value of which, when polished by the interpreter of dreams, cannot be es- timated. In the words of the olden prophets, a vision is the gift of the gods, and it cannot be duplicated. In 1830 there were reported to-the United States Burea1 of the Census 3,777 Negro heads of families who owned slaves. Most of these Negroes lived in Louisiana, Maryland, Norta Carolina, South Carolina, and Vir- ginia.

As black as myself," he laughed. A Serious Affair A still more serious affair happened in 1776. At that time the Royal Academy of Music was under the direction of the city of Paris, and St. Georges, who was at the time, director of a musical company, wishing to make a national affair of it, got together a company of capitalists to finance the theatre. But, inspired by his enemies, several of the actors from the opera headed by Miles. Arnould, La Guimard and Levasseur, sent a petition to the queen, Marie Antolynette, indignantly declaring that "their honor and their privileges were opposed to their submitting to the direction of a mulatto." The Queen, who, up to that time, had been one of the firmest friends and warmest admirers of St. Georges, spoke against the project and it failed. Champions Revolution It is asserted by many writers that it was this incident that caused St. Georges to side with the people in the great revolution. It is also said that he got his republican ideas from the Duke of Orleans, "Philip Equality." But both assertions are wrong, as St. Georges' correspondence shows The fact is that although re-red an aristocrat, St. Georges' kindliness and sympathy made him a democrat at heart. Besides he was a man of color. He had been born among his people, and when the revolution broke, he, like almost every Negro in France and the West Indies, sided with the people. In the meantime he did all that was in his power to warn Louis XVI. of the coming storm. While skating at Versallies he, one day, wrote the word, "Peril" in German on the ice for the queen's especial warning. Later, in a touching scene, she expressed to him her regret for having yielded to the wiles of color discrimination. She had been influenced by his association with the Duke of Orleans. The Duke, who later voted for the death of his brother, the king, was like him and Marie Antoinette, guillotined during the days of the terror. At the opening of the Revolutionary War, St. Georges threw himself, heart, soul and purse, into the cause of the people, and raised a regiment of black cavalry in the West Indies. It was known as "The American Legion," the first of its kind and name. Friend of Dumas At that time there was another young Negro nobleman, who was the talk of Paris, and St. Georges appointed him second in command.

Dumas, as was said, in an earlier article, was a giant in size and strength, and next to St. Georges, was the most formidable swordsman in France. Dumas later rose from sergeant to the third post of command in the French army in twenty-two months, and was one of Napoleon's greatest generals. Leads "Crack" Legion St. Georg and Dumas, with their black legion almost at once, isting- ushed themselves by saving Lille for the republicans, when Gen. Dumou- riez, a former royalist leader, betrayed the republicans. In the war with the Prussians, St. Georges, in several engagements, distinguished himself in the same brilliant manner he had done in the salons. "He performed prodigies of valor," says Larousse.

We are good pals and enjoy the same things His whole-hearted enthusiasm did not save him, however, when the revolutionists split and began a wholesale guillotining of one another. St. Georges was thrown into prison, and was saved only at the critical moment when the counter-revolutionists won and stopped the massacre. Befriended the Poor After this experience St. Georges retired from public life, and died in poverty and neglect on June 12, 1799, of bladder trouble.

PII PIRI but will we be good lovers, I wonder? Please answer. HONEST LOVER Oh, if only all the marriages were between good pals! Love murders, suicides and scandal would practically cease to exist. Of course, the morning paper without these little items of tragedy might not be as interesting but marriage would be a lot more pleasant. Sentimental novelists have raised an entirely wrong conception of love in most people's minds. They make the ideal love passionate and perfect. Now, passion and perfection are almost mutually exclusive. For passion is usually bigoted and blind. While to obtain perfection in anything, whether carpentrying or character, demands self-control and quiet and steady persistence. A passionate person is good dramatic material but such people in life seldom attain happiness themselves or give it to others. If such a person is exceptionally intelligent there is hope, of course, that he or she will eventually be sandpapered down by experience into something acceptable. And when this does happen we have a great individual but this is so rare that we better not count on it. Serene romances do not get into fiction but they are the best kind to have if happiness, not picturesqueness, is our goal. I believe you have a great chance for happiness, H. L. Go on to the altar.

"Good bye, sir," she said tartly. He left the office. She bit her lip in vexation, then she got up and went to the door. The young man was sauntering down the avenue as if he had all the time in the world. "Such nerve! Telling me I looked like a dog-tired kid spanked to bed, and then saying he'd marry me if I had money. I suppose I'm not good enough for him without money." Though young ladies affect to despise flattery, they never fail to resent its opposite. What stung Eugenia most was that she had met a man who didn't think she was so much, after all. Used to flattery and plenty of it, she had a rather high opinion of her charms. This man had made such a dent in her vanity that she felt she should hate him as long as she lived. "If I ever meet Bertrand Deveaux again," she promised herself, "I'll have some hot shots ready for him." She went back to her desk. There was nothing to do. Maximus Sylvan, in spite of the signs on his window, could not be said to have a regular business. His one or two real estate clients had taken their business out of his hands when they discovered that he was supplying their apartment houses with low grade coal and sending in bills for high grade coal. As for the window sign pertaining to stocks and bonds, that was a joke; Sylvan had never seen a bond in his life.

My husband insisted on my taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I did with the best results. Now I am a healthy woman and do all my work."—Mrs. BEULAH THOMAS, Box 273, Sumrall Miss. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as soon as the corporation was financed the stockhonders' money and Maximus Sylvan would vanish together. She stayed in his office only because things were dull and it was hard to get any kind of job. As she sat musing at her desk Maximus Sylvan, entered the office Martha Sylvan entered the office. "Was there anyone to see me, Miss Ward?" he asked, seating himself at his desk. "Yes, Mr. Sylvan, a young man was here looking for a job." "Ho, ho!" he laughed. "Who told him I wanted more help?" "He said he thought this was an employment agency,- on account of the sign on the door." "What did you tell him?" "I told him things were very slow in the employment market and that just now we had nothing." "Good. You're a bright girl, Miss Ward. Did anyone else call?" "No, sir." "That process server hasn't been sneaking around?" "I didn't see him today, sir." "Good. Keep an eye out for him." One reason why Maximus Sylvan spent so little time in his office was that he was dodging a court summons. Once or twice he had escaped being served by a hair. He opened his desk and drew out a roll of gandy stock certificates. He was trying to sell these to colored people to establish a colony for those who wished to raise their families in the country but near New York. Maximus Sylvan was a heavy, clay-colored man of forty-five, with an imposing presence and a loud voice. He was spotlessly groomed, his large cheeks and broad forehead glistened. His nose was wide and his mouth was large. The only flaw in his face was his eyes, which were rather shifty, except when he was telling lies to stockholders. Then they were large and trustful, like a child's. He had been in Harlem about two years and nobody knew where he had come from. He scanned the certificates, which were backed by a charter permitting his company to engage in any business from selling peanuts to building bridges. Then he took up a long list of names and was lost in thought. About three days later Bertrand Deveaux came into the office, waved to Eugenia and walked rapidly up to Maximus Sylvan's desk.

As she entered a man was making a speech. Spying two or three vacant seats in the rear of the little hall, she made her way to them. In a moment she was applauding the speaker, who concluded his fireworks and sat down. Another speaker was introduced. Eugenia had felt, rather then seen, that the seat next to hers had been taken by someone who had come in after her, but in her attention to the speaker she had not noticed its occupant.

CHILD T By Elise John Authority on the C OOD HABITS OF MIND MUST START BEFORE SCHOOL ATELY some doctors have invented a test to see what grade of mind the baby has at one month old. We know that as soon as he is born, he begins to use his mind and training he is given in the first years of his life is of great importance. It affects his after life much more than does his school training. For that reason, the job of the mother is being recognized as a serious profession. She must be a teacher and unfortunately, she does not study to be one. But if she is wide-awake she can learn much from the papers and books about her and even more from radio talks. In addition there is A he work of one great woman doctor which shows her what to do with the child two, three and four years before he goes to school. It is possible to go to any library and the method of Dr. Montessori which she followed in her school in early, called "The Children's House." A further aid, the mother can buy the toys Mme. Montessori vented for teaching. There are no mechanical engines or rocking horses, but there are pieces of cloth, actually like the underwear of the old, with buttons and buttonles.

I know of one mother who was so enthusiastic about the common sense behind these toys, that she did without a new suit one year to let her two children have their benefit. Both of them learned to dress themselves before they were three, and largely through the constant practice which these toys afforded. The eye, the ear and the sense of weight are all sharpened and guided by this method at the time when they are most sensitive to training. Most school teachers are struck with the amount of time and interest which most mothers show in having their children learn something from books, even before they come to school. They are proud to the point of boasting should the little daughter be able to say some of her alphabet. It is true that Dr. Montessori included in her toys, cardboard letters of the alphabet, but her method allows the child to learn them through feeling and handling a letter, like any object, rather than through merely seeing letters as signs. This, of course, makes a letter as real as a toy dog to the child and learning the letter's name is no harder than making a pet doll. But nothing is said of putting the child to the task of learning to speak the alphabet or learning to read words.

"St. Georges," says Larousse, "distinguished himself among the personages of his time, selfish, wicked, and corrupt for the most part, by a generosity and a recitude of character very rare. To the end of his days he did good and he had a special list of poor people, whom he supported entirely." "He was unselfish and benevolent," says Universal Biography. "He suffered privations to relieve th. unhappy, and several indigent old people were his pensionaires as long as his money lasted." Defied Court Snobbery One of the most touching incidents in the life of St. Georges—an incident that did more than anything else to prove his real character—was his mother's visit to Paris. He proudly welcomed the humble black woman before all he gay and haughty assemblage. To those who would have scorned her he threw the defiance: "Who refuses her, refuses me!" Principal Compositions Among his principal works are the "St. Georges Minuet"; two operas, "Ernestine," and "Liaisons Danger-euses" and a comedy, "Fille Garcon." His most noted work was his "Concertos," which became the rage of the day. His fame rests however, on his physical prowess and his personal qualities. In this respect, no King Arthur or Lancelot, or any traditional figure of chivalry was more gallant than he. He lived; at all times, up to the highest and best in human nature, and will remain a model for mankind as long as noble qualities and excellence in attainment are admired. The Chevalier de St. Georges was the Prince Charming stepping into real life. President Andrew Jackson in preparing for the celebrated battle of New Orleans appealed to the Negroes for volunteers. Samuel Thomas undertook the instruction of Negroes in the Goose Creek parish in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1695.
