BAD WEATHER AGAIN
HURT SHORE RESORTS

Yesterdays weather had a tendency 70
discourage the average excursionist; and
IL was not unnatural that the shore places
and other resorts did not do a rushing
business. though Rocky Point enjoyed II
fairly prosperous day. because OF the ball
game
The cars were comfortably crowded
during the afternoon. since by that tins
many had plucked mp courage and had
come to the conclusion that the skies had
nearly rained themselves dry.
! The boats suffered. but yet carried con-
siderable numbers TO the shore resorts
and on the various excursion trips.

attractive features, while the Casino of
fered an entirely new bill for the enter
tainment OF patrons, and the midway
features drew their usual numbers.
Crescent Park also entertained a goodly
throng OF pleasure-seekers. the late -af=
ternoon arrivals partly making UP for the
small attendance earlier IN the day. All
the attractions were open as usual and
excellent musical programs were rem
dered during the afternoon and evening
by the Banda Napoli. The star feature
OF the days program was the daring rea,

BISHOP SMITHS
PLAIN VIEWS ON
;. NEGRO PROBLEM

Bishop Charles Spencer Smith OF the
African Methodist Episcopal church takes
a position regarding the future OF his
race similar 10 that OF Bishop Turner,
and In an interview said
Il am not an alarmist or a believer In
the use OF force, but cannot see how a
peaceful solution OF the negro problem is
10 be reached along present lines. The
problem Is whether two races. differing
as much In color, In history and In ira
dton as the white and the negro. can
exist side by side on terms OF industrial
commercial and political equality. when
the numerical disproportion is as great rs
now.
1T is the most intelligent, most ad-
vanced, and best educated negro upon
whom the situation bears hardest not the
ignorant masses. II the negro is to be
denied the opportunity OF advancement,
II would be better TO destroy all facilities
for his education. Do not open the win
DAVIS OF his soul. do not train his facul-
ties, II you are going 10 deny him the
privilege OF exercising those faculties.
"A great French ecclesiastic, more
than 100 years ago, In pleading the cause
OF the negroes OF Hayti. when that island
was under French dominion. said: The
government cannot be the father OF one
part OF Its people and the stepfather OF
another That Is the situation In the
United States today.
THE government cannot be the father
OF the white man and the stepfather OF
the black man. II he is not TO be taken
into the family. a place must be found
elsewhere for him to go-or he must be
provided with grave"

At the y -
Theatres

Next week at Keith's the attraction OF
the Albee company will be the romantic
drama, "Heartsease," one OF Henry Nil
lers brilliant triumphs. The play is one
OF the prettiest love stories that has ever
graced the American stage, by Charles
Klein. author OF THE Music Master"
and THE Lion and the Mouse" and J. l.
c. Clarke. II Is OF the 18th century period
and Is woven around the theft OF an opera
from a young composer by his rival for
the hand Of an attractive young wOma n
OF noble birth.
BY arrangement with Charles Frohman,
Manager Lovenberg has secured for early
presentation Augustus Thomas clever So
ciety comedy, Mrs. Leffingwelis Boots. &"
This will be the first stock company pro-
duction ever given OF this play. This is
another example OF the managers efforts
TO give Providence playgoers the best
plays on the market
Manager Lovenberg with his wife and
sons are at Atlantic City, where they Will
pass the month OF July.
A curious coincidence in the original
production OF "Heartsease" about ten
years ago was that there was a law suit
over II, in which the man who claimed
its authorship said the play had been
stolen from him and a few changes made
In the names OF the character and the
title OF the play. The same thing occurs
In the play Itself
