COLORED AMERICANS
DANCE AT HOTEL ASTOR
New York, Nov. 3.—Something is
always happening to upset the smug
assurances of race theorists that “It
can’t be done’’. Twenty Negro cou
ples were among the guests of the
America’s Making Carnival and
Dance at the Hotel Astor, Forty
fourth street and Broadway, Friday
evening, October 27th.
Thirty-six racial and national
groups were represented in an un
precedented and myth-destroying get
together. The program was a mix
ture of special entertainment and so
cial dancing. The great Louis Chalif
and his Russian dancers, the Erzie
Sisters and Dolly Sisters. Finnish,
English, Carpath-Russian and Swed
ish folk dances provided unique enter
tainement for those who did not
dance. But Negroes can dance and
did. The magnificient grand ball
room provided a pretty setting for
this group with its charming women
handsomely gowned, its men suave
and graceful. They were, as the
America’s Making program courage
ously asserted and demonstrated—
apart, of OUR AMERICA.
Among the Negro guests were: Dr.
and Mrs. W. E. B. DuBois, Mr. and
Mrs. Eugene Kinckle Jones, Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Pace, Mr. and Mrs. Ger
ald F. Norman, Dr. and Mrs. E. R.
Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. James Har
ris, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Elzy, Dr.
and Mrs. George A. Kyle, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles S. Johnson, Mrs. Daisy
Tapley, Mrs. Charles W. Joyce, Mrs.
Ella I!. Harrison, Miss Minnie Brown
and Miss Louise Lattimer.
CHARLES !,. GILPIN
COMING TO THE BRANDEIS
An Important attraction is an
nounced for the Brandeis theatre for
three nights commencing Thursday,
Novemlier 9th, matinee Saturday,
when Adolph Klauber will present
the greatest dramatic novelty of the
past decade, Eugene O’Neill’s un
usual 5>b»V, “The Emperor Jones”,
with Charles S. Gilpin, the astonishing
actor, who rose from obscurity to
world-fame in one night, in the title
role.
The play is built upon somewhat
different lines than the usual run of
dramatic offerings. It is in eight
scenes, laid in the West Indies, and
depicts the adventures of an ex-Pull
man porter, who flees through a dense
forest to escape the vengeance of the
ignorant black natives he has plun
dered. During the action of the play,
the emperor passes through all the
human emotions beginning in a hu
morous vein, the scenes graduate from
expressions of slight alarm and be
wilderment, to the depths of despera
tion and despair. Mr. Gilpin’s art is
said to carry his audience breathless
and tense, throughout the unfolding
of the story.
The presentation will be made in
this city with the same attention, given
to every detail as during its entire
season’s run at the Princess theatre,
New York and extended runs in Bos
ton, Philadelphia and Chicago.

•■I don’t want anybody to misunder
stand me. If you had a hundred dol

CHARLES S. ELGUTTER
DENOUNCES LYNCHING
Charles S. Elgutter, candidate for
municipal Judge, more than ten years
ago denounced the brutality of lynch
ing and burning at the stake. He de
manded that the power of the United
States be exercised though the fed
eral courts in punishing those found
guilty of such brutality against citi
zens of the United States and those
entitled to protection under treaty.
Charles S. Elgutter long ago anti
cipated the provisions of the Dyer Bill
now pending in congress.
Read all about it in his book “A
Citizen of the United States”, which
may be found in the Omaha Public
Library, and filed In the Congres
sional Library at Washington.
Charles S. Elgutter’s plea wos en
dorsed by members of congress and
by officials of the state department
at the time.
THE ST. PAUL
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets
Russell Taylor, Pastor
Services Sunday were in keeping
with the World’s Temperance Sunday
Program. Attendance was fair. The
interest in the matter under discussion
vas excellent.
The Adult Bible Class under tne
leadership of Mr. H. J. Pinkett is
growing very much in interest.
Knowledge of the Bible is a worthy
asset to anyone, it matters not what
vocation they are following. We
trust that more will take advantage
of the superior instruction being giv
en in this class.
The sermon topics next Sunday will
be as follows: 11 a. m., “And Shall
Teach Men to Sow.” 8 p. m„ ■‘The
Message to the Church in Thyatyra,
or the Woman, Jezebel. Who Brought
Spiritual Discredit Upon the Church.”
The Christian Endeavor topic is,
“Better Thinking.” Phil. 4:4-8. This
is the monthly consecration meeting
and will be led by the pastor. The
hour is 7:15 and we trust that each
Endeavorer may be present on that
date.

excellent work. Led rue Galloway,
