Eats with a capital “E” were the
theme of the Jacque meeting held at
the home of William King, Saturday
nighty,Dec. 9. Each person was served
a quart of beer (root-beer), shrimp
salad, and ice cream and cake. We

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
My dear Children:
Christmas is the season of “Peace
on earth and good will to men”. Dur
ing the year just about past there
have been many heart-aches and
much sorrow on account of love.
Envy, jealousy, covetousness, and
downright hatred have featured, in
many cases. Unfaithfulness, decep
tion and the “green-eyed monster,”
jealousy have caused many estrange
ments and many actual separations.
Christmas comes and finds many hu
man beings with wounded hearts
and with bitterness toward those who
have wronged them, of those proved
unfaithful. And this is not a false
picture.
Many errant ones are in prison
penalized for crimes committed in the
name of love. Others are in their
graves as the result of the perfidy of
some one who was loved and trusted
—and who proved false. Thus, love,
the greatest passion and the supreme
gift has been prostituted and made
destructive when it should have been
used benevolently and made contribu
tory to human happiness. Now, let
us reprospect. Let us examine our
selves. Have we played the game
fair? Have we wronged any, in this
respect? If we have we should ask
forgiveness of the person wronged
and of “the Great Forgiver.” Then,
we should forgive those who have
wronged us. In this way we will be;
aT>Te to help bring in the ear of
“peace on earth and good will toward
men.”
Sincerely yours,
Maxie Miller
TEE JOY OF GIVING
By R. .A. Adams
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
The Christinas season affords op
portunity to test the truth and the
force of Paul’s declaration found *in
Acts 20:35 which runs, “It is more
blessed to give than to receive, A lib
eral translation would be, “More hap
piness comes from giving than from
receiving.” In this age of calloused
selfishness it might be very difficult
to convince people that this is true—
that this pronouncement is not just
another theory. But, whoever has
tried it has found it really so; that
the greatest joy is the joy of giving.
The custom of giving, at this sea
son is supposed to commemorate
God’s Gift to the world, as specified
in John 3:14 and in many other pas
sages. Paul speaks of Christ as
“God’s unspeakable Gift. His mean
ing is a Gift the value of which can
not be expressed. In our Christmas
giving we are wont to make presents
to those who are able and who may
be disposed to reciprocate. There
may come a measure of joy from such
giving, but the real joy, the superla
tive joy will come to those who give
to others who are really in need. At
this season, let us share our joy. If
we do we will, in this way and by
such efforts multiply our own store
of joy. Whoever doubts it would do
well to test it.
A MERRY XMAS
TO OUR
CUSTOMERS and j
FRIENDS.

‘LAZY BONES* STEPIN FETCHET
GETS ANOTHER CHANCE
IN THE MOVIES
Hollywood—(CNS)—Reports have
it that Stepin Fetchet, a subdued and
chastened young man, has returned
to the Fox Movietone Studio. It is
claimed that “a new chapter is being
written into the history of the pro
fessional career of that languorous
Senegambian who surely must have
been the living model for ‘Lazy Bones’
the anthem of the lethargic.”
As the story runs Lionel Barry
more, the distinguished actor, direc
tor, artist and critic, is quoted as say
ing: “the late Bert Wiliams, .at the
peak of his form, was never half as
good as Stepin Fetchet.”
Concerning that statement, how
ever, many will rise to dispute it.
However, Barrymore is in scene after
scene with the Negro comic in “Cali
fornia”—which is by way of being
the screen version of Paul Green’s
“The House of Connelly”—and gets
an ever-increasing kick out of each
succeeding sequence.
“Stepin, without even trying, says
Mr. Barrymore, “could steal a scene
from any living man or woman.”
Who He Is
Stepin Fetchet, in case you have
forgotten him, is the colored comed
ian who reached his zenith some four
years ago in “Hearts in Dixie" when
the talkies were young and who “went
Hollywood” so high, wide and hand
some that he eased himself ignomin
iously right out of pictures and the
film colony.
In a year, while the going was still
good, he rose from obscurity to vir
tual stardom. Picture after picture,
featuring him, smashed box-office rec
ords. But Stepin couldn’t stand
prosperity. He was a concrete and
concentrated example of an actor who
couldn’t stand the pace or weather
a boom.
Stepin Fetchet did all manner of
things that made him the laughing
stock of everybody. At one time he
owned four automobiles of the big
gest and costliest models and had a
different chauffeur in a different uni
form for each car. The uniforms
were a cross between those worn by
a Swiss admiral and the Emperor
Jones. Ana on the back of each car
there wras a big sign bearing the
name of Stepin Fetchet, which at
night blazed out upon the startled
in big electric lights.
The kid was strutting his stuff in
the grand, or Octavus Roy Cohen,
manner! These things were of no
concern to the Fox studio until Stepin
began to get himself into all manner
of jams, financial and otherwise.
Then suddenly the Hsllywooa axe—
and it is one of the biggest and dead
liest ever wielded in the direction of
a human had—descended upon Step
in's unsuspecting neck and as a pen
sioner of the cinema he was no more.
Presently he was down and out.
Very far down and very completely
out. Fair weather friends forgot
him. His wife filed suit for divorce
and Stepin left Los Angeles on a
freight train.
i AL JOLSON REPORTED AS SE
LECTED TO LEAD IN ‘PORGY’
New York City—(CNS)—It is now
reported that AJ Jolson, white mamy
singer, has been selected to play the
title role of the George Gershwin
musical version of DuBose and Doro
thy Heyward’s musical play “Porgy”
which the Theater Guild will produce
here in January.
With an all-colored cast the play
was a great sensation in 1927-1928,
and ran for three years in America,
England and France. Naturally it
was expected that the musical adap
tation would be presented by Negro
artists.
