To Score
(By the Associated Negro Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 3.—
November the 8th, 1921, is a day to
lie reckoned with in the annals of po
itical history so far as Colored Amer
cans are concerned. It may well be
named “Decision Day." It is the day
m which the first real test of the ef
'ects of the new Republican Admin
stration policy.
The test will come in many places, I
out will be most noticeable in New
York, Iiouisville and Virginia. These
three centers are the “sign posts" of
the new era. In New York City, May
or Hylan will poll a large number of
Colored votes more than any previous
candidate has ever received.
In Louisville, where the Lincoln In
dependent party has been formed,
there is a bitter fight. The lily white
Republicans, who have proved false
to their trust, acording to Colored cit
izens, have become alarmed, and are
resorting to all the old time tricks
of “dirty politics” to discount the ser
ious efforts of the large Lincoln fol
lowing. Both Louisville newspapers,
the Louisville News and the Louisville I
Leader, are hacking the new partv.
and predict tne defeat of the Republi-,
an ticket as a protesl against injus-!
tice.
The Virginia situation ' "iir a;
whirl-pool of activity,
guns" of t*’® Ad*"i"l«t.mtion, includ
mg the President have been 1 1
“forbidden territory" and added the
prestige of their pee-*
Prsident’s visit ostensibly was not po
■itical.
State Chairman, Jos. R. Pollard,
and John Mitchell, Jr., of Virginia,
the latter a carfflidate for Governor,'
declare there was nothing left for;
them to do, when the Republican par-1
ty' virtually kicked them out, except \
form a party of their own, and they j
will leave no stone unturned to defeat
the efforts of the lily white Republi
cans under Bascom Slemp.
It is pointed out in all seriousness,
that the success of the Republican
party in these localities, or even a
gain, will throw such a swagger into
t he political backs of the backers of j
“White Leadership Republicans Ev
erywhere” that the poor “Children of
the Sun" will be forced into political
paralysis, so far as Republicans are I
concerned. If it gets a “set-back”
then the Governors, Senators, Con
gressmen and “what-nots” to be elec
ted in 1922, will make a grand rush
for a definite change of policy, to in
i’ dude all American citizens in party
organization effoit on merit, and not
proscription because of color.
“Expediency,” said Major John R.
Lynch, in a special interview with the
Associated Negro Press,” was never a
good substitute for right, and is doom
ed to failure from the beginning.
“The Colored people must bear their
part well in passing through this po
litical crisis, for upon conduct now
depends the weal or w’oe of the Race
for years to come."
SENATOR CAPPER WILL SUP
PORT ANTI-LYNCHING HILL j
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-—The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored Peoplp, has announced receipt

"I am in sympathy with the measure
• nd shall be very glad to do anything
1 can to bring about its passage at the
earliest possible moment for I think
t is most important that the Govern
ment should have every posible power
to put a stop to these outrages.”

PRESENT CLASSICAL DRAMAS
Howard Department of Dramatic Arts
Announces Ambitious Program—
For Present Year
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 3.—
The Department of Dramatic Arts of
the Howard University announces a
busy and progressive program for
this season. Having in one year of
activity won an enviable position in
American drama, The Howard Players
are ambitious for more notable tri
umphs. A number of the leading dra
matic critics of the country are enthu
siastically calling public attention to
their efforts. Mr. Kenneth Macfiowan
in “Shadowland” for July, 1921, stres
ses the wonderful opportunity for a
Negro drama and points out that
Howard University is making rapid
strides in that direction. “Life,” “The
Nation,” “The New Republic," “Ains
lie’s,” and “The Theatre Magazine"
are expected to carry editorial com- j
ment during November for a larger
public support of the work of The :
Howard Players. This is in line with I
the University movement to secure a
handsome auditorium which will con-!
tain a modemly appointed and mod- j
ernly equipped theatre where the De-;
partment of Dramatic Arts may pre- j
>>nt its plays. Friends and Alumni
of The Howard University are being:
earnestly urged to become active in :
this attempt to place the University !
at the forefront of American colleges;
in the field of dramatic art.
The season’s offerings of plays by j
the Department of Dramatic Arts is of ;
even more interest than the memora-;
Ide productions of last vear. The play
ers will introduce to the public a new
dramatist, a public school girl of
Washington whose drama, “As Strong
As the Hills,” has been endorsed bv
leading critics. It is a Persian histor
ical romance and its rich and colorful
setting is combined with a plot teem
ing with love and action. “Simon the
Cyrenian” will be produced in special
performances for visitors and dele
gates to the Conference for the Limi
tation of Armament. Patrons of the
theatre will be pleased to know that
“Othello,” perhaps Shakespeare’s
"icatest tragedy, will also be produced
this year at Howard. This generation
of play-goerB haB not had opportunity
of seeing the “Moor” acted, in which
role Salvini, Kean, Booth, anti Henry
living reached their greatest dramatic
success.

wore a delicate pink Georgette dress j
rosebud trimmings. The little maid |
of honor, Miss Marguerite Casmon,;
wore a delicate pink Geirgette dress
trimmed with “baby blue” rosebuds,

The elegant home of the bride’s
parents had been converted into a
veritable floral bower, for the occa
sion: The subdued pink tints of the
many electric lights; the profusion of
floral decorations and the elegant cos
tumes of the relatives and friends will
be remembered by the participants
for many years to come.
The bridal party were entertained
at a two-course luncheon and after
the customary social features, were
escorted to their cozy residence, 400
North 12th street, where they have
their own fayiily fireside, and where
were placed many useful and valuable
presents, silent tokens of the esteem
and affection of the givers.

HELEN HAGAN IN RECITAL
Talented Artist Presents Varied And
Difficult Program at Bachelor
Benedict's Sunday Afternoon
Musicale
It was only a fair-sized audience
which greeted Helen Hagan, winner of
the $2,000 Sanford scholarship award- j
ed by Yale University for musical pro
ficiency. a coveted honor, when she ap
peared at Columbia Hall, Sunday af
ternoon, under the auspices of the
Bachelor Benedict Club which is fea
turing musical artists of the race in a
series of Sunday afternoon musicales.
The audience, however, was an appre
ciative one and in the program present
ed was given a rare musical treat.
Miss Hagan is an artist of the first
rank. Her artistry was demonstrated
by the fact that although her program
was away ahead of the average Amer
ican audience's ability to appreciate
high class music she delighted and
pleased her audience. She gave the
following numbers:
Symphonic Etudes.Schumann
Polonaise Fantasy, Etudes Op. 25.
Nos. 3, 6 and 10 ...Chopin j
Reflects dans l’Eau .Debussy I
Jardins sans La Pluie .Debussy j
Transcriptions of Negro Melodies .i
...S. Coleridge Taylor
Troubled in Mind (American)
Let us Cheer the Weary Traveler
(American).
Bamboula (African Dance)
From this it will be seen that Miss
Hagan had to play from memory elab
orate and involved compositions,
which she did without the slightest
lapse of memory. She has temper
ament and technique and a charming
personality which places her at once
en rapport with her audience. In
Schumann’s Symphonic Etude. Miss
Hagan brought out all of the harmon
ic sound which is in this wonderful
masterpiece. In the softer phrasings
her touch was gentle and her climaxes
showed wonderful energy. In Chopin’s
Polonaise Fantasy smoothness of tone
and vigorousness of finish were mark
ed features. In the transcriptions of
the Negro melodies, Miss Hagan, per
haps touched the hearts of her audi- |

particularly in the latter Mrs. Wat- i

Saturday afternoon and shipped to
Nashville, Tenn., her home for inter
ment. Miss Watkins acompanied the
remains. The sympathy of not only
her fellow workers, but of the com
munity goes out to the bereaved
daughter.
Mrs. Campbell, the general secre
tary, and other members of the central
branch, joined With Miss Watkins
friends in doing all within their pow
er to lighten the burden of her sor
row.

much chance as the white boy and the
gates of that place is open just as
wide to the Negro as to the white.
Father Flanagan’s boys’ Home is
the only institution of its kind in the
northern part of the United States
that treats the colored boy the same
I as the white boy. Since he s. ar " 1
i his Home four years ago he has ta'ven
! care of thirty-four colored b^ys and
placed them in good homes and in
good jobs. He sent two of Ahem re
cently to a University in Ta nessce.
At Overlook Farm now there are four
colored boys and they are receiving
the same treatment as the white
boys.”
“I know the colored people of Oma
ha will show' their appreciation of my
work in this drive,” said Father FUi
agan. “I have been friend of Lie
homeless colored boy as well as the
homeless white boy . In my Home
there is no distinction.”
Overlook Farm is located ten mil°s
West on the paved Dodge road. It
consists of one hundred sixty acres of
fine tillable soil and there are cows
and chickens, farm machinery and ev
erything else just like any other farm.
The homeless boys are taught farming
and trades. They are being made into
good citizens and useful citizens. It is
a wonderful cause.”
Don’t forget the date of this drive.
It is November fourteenth to twenti
eth. Show the citizens of Omaha that
vou are willing to shoulder your share
of the financial responsibilities of this
Farm.
