STAGE DEBUTs

This date. the twenty-seventh of November, is associated with three notable events in the history of the modern stage-the first appearance of Edwin Forrest in 1920; the debut of Mary Anderson in 1875, and the birth of Fanny Kenble in 1909. For rest, one of the greatest of tragedtans was native of Philadelphia, and was only fourteen when he appeared in the role of Young NorvaI in Homes tragedy, Douglas This was his first real stage appearance, although even before that he had been cast
 for a minor female part in per formance at the South Street Thea Ire in Philadelphia. Frances Anne,
 better knowi as Fanny Kemble, was a niece of the celebrated Mrs. Sid dons, and was born in London. She made her first appearance in 1929, playing Juliet to the Romeo of her father, Charles Kemble. Mary An derson, now Mrs. Antonio de Navarro was born in Sacramento, Cal, but was reared in Louisville, and made her first public appearance as Juliet at a trial matinee at the Louisville

cial one, the failure of the highway
department to employ Negroes on the
streets as street sprinklers, team
sters or even use horses and wagons
belonging to Negroes to haul gravel,
etc In carefully looking over the diff
ferent denominations and races en-
ployed by Messrs. Marlowe & Sher-

pEARF lELD AND ITS CONCERNS

Dearfeld Colony is perhaps one OF
the most prosperous outlooks for the
Negroes in the state of Colorado.
More than 81 families have settled
down there. The colony has accom-
plished actually more than the $40,-
900 appropriated by the state to the
immigration Board to induce settlers
to locate at this place. Being nigh
circumvented by rivers, bitches, Ia

An experienced farmer estimated the

to beet growth and the cultivation OF
varied grains for man and beast. Be-

The church building is in course OF
erection by carpenters of the Peoples

will spend $1,000 for workmanship,
lumber, transportation, etc. Being in
the geographical zone of the Presby-
terry of Boulder, said committee of
Denver Presbytery have been conf

allowance of $40 per week. At the
expiration of the summer term the

Colorado is going through one Of
the fercest Industrial struggles that
she has ever had to face in all of her
history. Women and children are
killed along with their husbands and
brothers who are shooting down other
men and brothers and in turn being
shot down themselves. Denver, while
not in that district, recently had a
mob to visit one of our hotels and
mistreat one of its guests on account
of his religious activities. In northern
Colorado this same riotous spirit has
prevailed and there seems but one
place in Colorado that is now i'm
mune from trouble and that is the
Western Slope. The lessons of the
Denver mob and the southern indus
trial situations spell this to the Negro
that whatever may happen the white
strikers or operators, murderers or
hoodlums. they will have a fair trial
Every avenue, every means of escape
will be exhausted in their behalf. 1t
