A-------— N. R. S.—I read your column weekly for consolation, A few months ago my husband went away and aince then I have fallen in love with a man who is kind hut uneducated He is persistent about wanting to marry me. and promises to help my people and be a loving step father to my baby. Should I divorce my husband and marry him? Ana: For the sake of your baby and husband, don’t do anftbing fust yet. | don't doubt this man’s love for you in the least, but it will be best for all concerned if you post pone your plans for six months or a year. My advice ia to get a teaching position in anothefr community end do what you can for your peo ple It’s too much to expect your husband to keep them up. That's your obligation, not hie. r H. S.—I had a test some time ago and I wish to know if this report was true or should I gee a Doctor? An*: The logical thing for you to do i8 to go immediately and consult a private physi cian and have him make another test. I fear that you are going to have to begin treatments right away, so don't put this matter of any longer. u H K.—Why do men fall in love with me ao fast? I hate to hart anyone and I have decided that the only way is to get a job and stay my distance from them. Iiots of girls would be flattered, bat not me for I have a heart and know they have too. Can you help me? Ana: What you need to do is to get employment and de pend on your own earnings for support. Pay les3 attention to the advances of your many boy friends. It’s easy to be popular, what you need to do is to cultivate the right kind of friendship with young men who appreciate you. M. M. M.—Will we ever be able t* pay for this home that we are buying? Ans: Eventually you will ciear up the entire indebted ness, but it is going to take several more years for you to get it off your hands. The investment is wise, you would have to pay rent any place you chose to live and in this manner you will have something after years of struggle. L H.—As a reader of your column will you tell me if I will be successful in "going to New York in June? Ans: The trip could be ar ranged whereby you would profit by going. Make ar rangements to leave and try to get employment whereby you may remain there for awhile. It is indicated that you will spend a good portion of your sparo time at the fair. jfl l. x.—Can I depend on my friend giving me money for my support? Ans: The present trend of your thoughts is both unwise and dangerous. He may give you small sums from time to time, but the price you will have to pay for these contribu tions will be greater than you think. Depend en no ruan, other than a husband for your ^jpport. A. L T.—Is my niece married to the man? What has he done to her? Ans: Your niece is NOT married to the man and should be persuaded to stay away from him. He has not done anything to her, but he is Weeding her for her money. Try to shield her against this party if possible. R. A. S.—Several times my friend has gotten angry and left me. Each time saying that he would not return. Will I ever un derstand him. Ans: There is no under standing a person who’s every action is so unpredictable. Even if you were able to un derstand him you could not be pend on him. You should not waste your time with a man who hasn’t the ablity or desire to be worthwhile. REMARKABLE RECORD Mm.

(ANP) REX INGRAM THE BUCK NAPOLEON ' Rex Ingram, renowned as ‘De Lawd' in “Green Pastures” nlays tho original role of General Chris tophs in "Haiti” the new WPA play by Milliam Du Bojg, current at the Lafayette theatre in New York (Harlem). Rex Ingram, renowned as ‘De lawd’ in tjie screen version of “The Green Pastures,” gave us his research in tuberculosis to por tray the glamorous role of Chris tophe in the WPA Federal Theatre Project’s production of “Haiti”, currently presented at the Lafay ette Theatre. Before being approached by Fed eral Theatre authorities concern ing the role, Mr. Ingram, who holds a doctor’s degree and a Phi Beta Kappa key from Northwest ern University, was doing research with his brother-in-law. Dr Orville L. Ballard, house physician at ♦he Waverly Hills Tubercular San itarium in Louisville, Kentucky. “I accepted the part,” said Mr. Ingram, “because I am glad to do > whatever I can towards the devel opment of a national Negro thea tre in this country. There is a great need for it and I feel the Federal Project will eventually supply that need.” “You know,” he continued “it looks like I was really cut out to be an actor and not a doctor. Everytimo I make up my mind to go back to medicine the theatre comes up and I just cant resist the call. After finishing school I went to California, where there are some of the best tubercular institutions in America, Inping to become a tuberculosis specialist. I ended up in pictures. Two years ago, when I made plans to give up acting and go back to medicine, a show came along and I accepted the parr. Now, the same thing has happend again.” According to the unstinted praise of critics all over the coun try, Mr Ingram definitely belongs to the theatre. One day while standing on a comer in Los Angeles a man walk ed up to him and wanted to know if h« would like to mak« !• dollars I a day. I “Sure, IM lhe to,” said Rex. The next day M> Ingram wra wring 'he part of an African Chief in a picture siMio. Tswen, Edgar Uice Burroughs’ thrilling "Ape Man,’’ was being screeneu for the first time and because of Mr In gram’s Tine physique be was given the role of the chief ;n that pro [ ductlon. That was in 1920 and fr*mi then on foUpwed part* in a series of pictures. “King < f Kings," “The Ten Commsmtment*,” “Sign of the Cross.” “The Wanderer,” Qneen of Sheba," “’Hearts in Dixie," and “Tho Green Pssflures” in which ho portrayed three characters ‘De Lawd’ Adam and Hexdrel. Mans Connelly, who directed Rex Ingram in his latest picture, des cribed the actor a* having a com pelling personality and a genslo smile, and as being one of the finest representatives of his race. Mr, Ingram’s stage debut also was accidental. Almost s decade ago, he was given a part in the Los Angeles production of '“Lulu Belle,” heeanee he was the only man available who possessed a dress suit Since that time, he has appeared In such outstanding «tage production" aa “Porgy,” “Once In a Lifetime,” "Stevedore,” ( "Dance with your Gods,” “Beale I Street” and “Marching Song.” | Toussairrt L-Ouverture _ ■___ *■' Louis Sharp, who characteriza tion* have included such diverse types as Oain in “The Green Pas tures,“ “Undertaked Crouch and Easley Jones in "The Conjure Man Dies”, and Shine in ‘Tarpen-1 uno'' portrays the role of Toua saint L'Ouverture in “Haiti” the WPA Federal theatre’s sensation - ail drama in its ninth capacity week at the popular Harlem play house.

And his pants, she has got them away from him, along with taking over his barber shop. Hi» bathing suit is on the verge of being usurped, etc., Our young fellers, they are a sorrowful lot.
