THE BEE: OMAHA. MONDAY, JUNE SO, 1919. PASTOR TRACES PROGRESS OF THE BLACK RACE ' ' Rev. Charles Savidge Warns White People Lest Negroes . Become Supplanter; Dou r bles Every 40 Years. "Let the white race which has been dominating for hundreds of "years, take care lest the black man, once his chattel and his slave be his supplanter and victor," warned V Rev. Charles W. Savidge last night . in a sermon on "The Children of Ham. What will their future be?" . at Peoples Church. . Rev. Mr. Savidge traced the pro gress of the colored race from its oringin in Ham. "The negro was forcibly taken from Africa, his home, in the 16th - century and enslaved in this coun try for 250 years. He was mis treated, oppressed, whipped, beaten, and in many cases killed. But as a people he survived all this ill treat ment. No other neonle ever stond such abuse and lived," said Rev. Mr. Savidge. , "A generation ago, social philoso phers prophesied that the negro would disappear before the onrush of stronger races. "Today however the advancement of this race in the last 50 years has been the rarvel of the world. "When Abraham Lincoln signed , the emancipation proclamation there were 4,000.000 colored slaves in this country. Today there are 14,000, 000 free negroes. . "The black race doubles every 40 years; the white race every 80 years. . . "The white man must look out or the black man will give him a fierce , run for his money. "The black race is meek. The v meek man and the meek race are winners and have divine approval. : "The negro has pushed his "way into every line of industry. He has ' just now been admitted into the American federation of Labor.' rial of Townley May . Reach Critical Stage Soon Jackson, Minn., June 29.

Miller, a finger print ex pert of New York, gives a demon stration of the new methods of ob taining finger prints. This subject should be of vital interest, as the finger print method of identification is fast becoming universal.

The Sun theater was filled with continual laughter yesterday, when the comedy, "Be a Little Sport," with Albert Ray and Elinor Fair was presented here for the first time. Those who attended the first showing must have spread the news rapidly, for the theater was crowded all day long. The story is side splitting in its humorous situations, and Ray and Miss Fair both do very clever work. Ray as a comedian is, making rapid strides toward the front rank of screen players, and Miss Fair is not only beautiful but has fine dramatic talent. Together they made situation after situation go over to shouts of laughter. Mable Normand in "The Pest" is by turns rollicking and wistful. The photoplay is at the Muse again to m k i writ 11 11 sir rir i s ri ' Fa lv m is ' - i . -r i m The If ew! . sgg J day and Tuesday. All sorts of ad ventures befall her, but the funniest and most dramantic of all happens when she is invited to a party given by the daughter of the country judge. "Vainly she hunts for some thing with which to cover up her rags, and finally goes to the party wearing the same old sweater and threadbare overalls, with the addi tion of a cameo ring found among a lot of odds and ends. Once a) the house, Blanche, the judge's daughter (Leota Lorraine), gives Puckers an old dress, expect ing her to make a laughing-stock of herself. Poor Puckers does this unmistakably. In the midst 6f the hilarity the judge (Alec B. Fran cis) notices the ring worn by the waif. It is this discovery that starts the solution of a strange mystery which brings about a discovery which takes Blanche from her lofty perch and completely revolutionizes Puckers. "The Pest" is a play which gives Mabel Normand not only every opportunity to touch both ex tremes of emotion, but presents her in a variety of guises. "The Big Little Person," at the Brandeis, where it will remain through Wednesday, gives Mae Mur ray something new in the way of a role. She portrays the character of a prim and staid little school mis tress. Through one of fate's most freakish moods, she becomes a vic tim of deafness while at work among her little flock of school kiddies. She loses 'the love of her fiancee, who becomes ashamed of her afflic tion. Fate turns her lover into a brute and makes him the instrument of restoring her hearing. The wanderings of four sand wiches form an important part of the story of "The Fire Flingers," Rupert Julian's latest Universal spe cial attraction which will be shown at the Brandeis theater for three days beginning next Thursday.
