GOOD WORDS FOR BERT WILLIAMS

ment on Bert Williams:
The men in this remarkable
crane scene are Bert Williams and
Leon Enrol. The name of Williams
is Onyx He is a member of the
Alimouy club. Few black faced
comedians give such an impression
of sincerity as Williams. This is
partly because he is Negro, but
mostly because be is lare artist
He emphasizes, bnt lie never bur
lesques he is droll, but never is
tedious he is amusing, but never
vulgar. Through all his .mirth
there is shining and kindly intel
ligence that appeals 10 the heart as
we'll as the mind. His is the sort
of fun that makes an audience
better. He is the bright star of the
performance. He was not repeating
something after the fashion of par
rots and most actors. He was
inspired BY that blazing light called
consciousness.

cENsORS BAR BIRTH OF A NATION .


New YORK, March 4th. The
National Association for Advance
ment of Colored People has scored
a triumph in New York in succeed
ing in getting the National board
of censors TO reverse its approval OF
the moving picture flu, entitled
THE Birth of a Nation, : based oil
Thomas Dixon's "Clansnian.
As soon as advised of the action
of the censors, at the suggestion OF
Paul Kennedy, member of the
board, the N. A. A. c. P. officials
got in touch with the police COM
missioner through Oswald Garrison
Willard, who was advised BY the
commissioner that the matter had
been placed in the hands of Chief
Magistrate McAdoo and the owners
of the film warned not to produce it.
1t had been extensively advertised
for production on March grid at the
Liberty theatre, and it is said that
SIoo 900 was invested in it. Its
owners are Atkins & Griffith An
advance performance of the pro-
duction was given in Washington
and it is said that President Wilson
aud Chief Justice White witnessed
the same.
The reversa. of the decision of
the board of censors will probably
prevent its production in about 80
Der cent. : of the theatres of the
country. : Many cities have ordi-
nances prohibiting the production
of moving pictures not approved by
the National board of ceusors, and
even where there are not such pro-
hibitive ordinances many theatres
will not produce films unless they
have the approval of the censcrs
The national association had
difficult task to suppress this film
since il had already been approved
by the censors when the association
first heard of it through its Los
Angeles branch, where duplicate
film was produced in spite of the
protest of the branch. The reason
given by the police and the city
council for refusing to interfere was
thar the film had been approved by
the National board Of eensors.
When the national association
first appealed to the board of cen
sors week ago, there seemed but
little prospect of getting an un-
favorable decision upon this film in
the limited time left before its
advertised public production. The
association communicated with the
board of censors, and through the
courtesy of the latter an advance
performance was arranged yesterday
at the Liberty theatre. All of the
members of the board of censors
were present and committee from
the N. A A. &. P. At the close of
the performance the board of cen
sors met aud unanimously voted to
disapproye the film

Rev. Mr.. Wallace has looked
deeply into the situation. As a
citizen and as God-fearing pastor
he knows that there Is only one
thing to do-to vote the bonds.
IF there be those who are not
convinced that this is the tight

thing to do perhaps The following
facts will convince him:

direct outcome of hundreds Of other

cial bodies ano private individuals
