LEE CHANDLER OPENS Auolro-
RUM.
The Ginger Girls Lead OFF.

The poular Auditorium Theatre al
Ninth and Holmes street is to become
the home of %burlesque and musical
comedy, under the management of Mr..
Lee Chandler, whose stock company
of American Ginger Girls is we'll
known to a large percentage of local
showgoers. The company %broadened
to thirty people-mostly girls, and the
prettiest, girliest girlies you ever saw,
too-will give its first performance lii
its new home mex Saturday night.
Mr.. Chandler, who is an old hear"
at the show business, has set about to
make the Auditorium a real family
theatre and is sparing no pains or ex.
pense to this end.
The same class and style of musical
comedy and burlesque as the wheel
shows in the Twelfth street houses
will be presented and poulaT prices
are to prevail.
The colored people will be given the
entire first balcony, which has spa.
cious seats and is well ventilated.
Those desiring cheaper seats may OBJ
tain tickets for the upper balcony.
Entrance to the two balconies is 10
be made through the Holmes street
lobby only, where usher and program
service is same as the lower floor.
Five colored girls have been employed
as ushers, two for the balcony and
three for the main floor.

matter of numerical strength. Here
you have the primitive and the ma
jority of kind. If five seventies of
mankind are cOlored, surely there is
no ground for the other t~wo-sevenths
to point the finger of scorn in di-
rection on account of color. To the
Negro we say that you are closer to
Nature than any other race upon the
globe. What is natural is beautiful.
God, the Creator, saw in His Creator
all good.
With this truth in mind now look
into the mex few Colored faces you
run Gro and see if Nature does not
speak: They have tried to make us
ashamed of our color, but let us ex-
anime ourselves closely. We have
the triple shades of Dark-Brown and
Black.
Black, as we have stated, has its
chief charm in richness and a certain
instinctiveness, call it solidity if you
like, The sable purity OF the dark
skin is what lead Solomon to say
this: Il Am Black. but Comely,"
Brown.
And thou, too. Brown. So soft and
soothing. There is never the least
~harshness in this color. Here is a
shade which is so mellow that it not
only delights but seems to rest the
eyes with a matchless charm. Brown
biscuits and fried pork chops are not
unlike the shade speak of, and this

waste any time or space studying
colors of men, has provided a classic
type which we acknowledge shame

it turned over. No one was hurt but

the Negroes wore diamonds or what

is WHITE
By Chas. A, Starks.

The other fellow has merely sought
to standardize the arts for himself on
an exclusive white Caucasian basis.
Hence Ito him) White with all its at
tendants is supreme, good and beauti-
full.
But we are bold enough to say that
Nature beat this fellow to it in the
matter of primal causes and effects
regarding color and solemnly made
this decree: What is natural is good
and what is natural is beautiful, what
is naturally beautiful is artistic and
artists, students of nature count
themselves fortunate if, indeed, they
can copy from this natural beauty its
glorious message to man. To be en-
tirely truthful we must acknowledge
that upon this ability hang all the
laws and the prophets of the Fine
Arts.
In art the color Red typifies or
expresses life. Now White being far
removed from red why not try find
ing the expression of the Real in col
ors running in darker trends? Bling!
We asked a pertinent question then.
We know the Earth is largely red and
black. Now come on up from this
ground work and build your super
structures of Art. Mix these native
colors in your composite scheme re-
Numbering Red for Life and Black for
Richness and you will produce some

Baneful Psychology.
/ would try to get Negroes every
now and then to scrutinize this vari-
shaded hue of theirs. Turn your eyes
on yourself and a little comparative
psychology. I probably should explain
here what | am trying to say. First,
Psychologist study both of the OBJ
%iective mind (rather a bookish term,
| admit) and after you have reached
conclusions for yourself regarding
yourself as to color and its portrait
tthen compare your conclusions with
those the "other fellow" has imposed
upon you regarding your own.
He has fooled us and himself with
this false deduction:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
And he has tried his best to make
it stick! But why call this psychol-
ogy? Some may ask. Our answer
Because this thought has certainly
had a wonderful psychological effect
upon our Race inasmuch as asder its
sinister influence we have been made
to feel that Black was actually dis
honorable and White was supreme. 1t
was all a matter of subjecting one
mind to another to a thought power
which was both Oppressive and op-
pressive. We belieye this comes un-
der the heading of psychology.
But Nature denies, sternly, the false
deduction that White is supreme. The
whole earth speaks in the darker
colors and whatever is responsible for
certainly runs in dark because the
darker people number about five to
seven in this world.

pie to turn over in their minds for

eating lines from the home soil
through the Metz and Montme-
dy regions.
But the Germans, although
they are in general retreat, are
by no means vet in 4 state OF
broken resistance. This Is
shown by the desperate fight
they are giving the Americans
from the Argonne to the MeuSe,
by the stand they appear to be
about to make before Field
Marshal Haig's armies south OF
NalcncienneS, and by the per
sistence with which they are
clinging to their positions
around Laon, although doubt
less aware of the peril to which
they are exposing their large
forces in this area by so doing
Douai, and perhaps Lille,
they seem to have prepared
themselves to give up. But they
still are holding on to most Of
Belgium, as well as to the Laon
pocket. and are throwing every
thing they can possibly mass in
to the effort to keep their vital
left flank north OF the Nerdun

London, Oct. l2.-Germany's
repv to President Wilson came to
London too late for any authorita-
tive comment. 1t was bound TO
come, however, into an atmosphere
charged with suspicion. and the
opinion is held in all quarters that
the reply would be good gauge of
the degree OF Germanys distress.
An armistice is the old familiar
ruse for a distressed army.
Apparently the reply gives one
statement OF news. 1t associates

with the German government. The
implication seems to be that unless
the German secretary for foreign
affairs has written the message with
unusual haste, Turkey is no longer
Germany's ally. In all previous inn
portant diplomatic documents Ger
many has scrupulously mentioned
all her allies.
The phrase, "to agree upon prac-
teal details OF the application OF
these terms" is. on its face, a
straight reply TO President Will
son. 1t was not unexpected here,
but is likely to be regarded with
suspicion. English papers have said
that conference based on such a
formula may be considered by the
Germans to mean an extended de-
bate.
Some Of the most important Ger
man papers in latest quotations
cabled from Holland, persist in us
ing the word compromise" with
reference to the application OF the
presidents principles. But the feel
ing in London is that it will be hard
for the allied armies to hold their
hand in the hour OF seeming VIC
tory.
Unconditional surrender is the
slogan much more appealing to the
British people in this hour than
any committee to arrange for evac-
uation. Events i'll the past week,
particularly the sinking OF the Lem
ster, have steeled British hearts
against compromise.
There is strong belief here, voiced
even by the compromising papers,
that there are yet two powers in
Germany-one power OF the new
government. and the other of the
army, and that it is not yet decided
which is supreme.
