Masque of Colored America Big Success

! Mrs. Fannie Hall Clint, the dis
tinguished dramatist and critic, pres
ented the Masque in characters in
such a striking manner that even
those who were familiar with the
historical significance of the Court
of Queen Cardace and the pathos
which Characterised Che return of
the Boys from the Worlds War were
aghast at the wonderful spectacle
OF events and episodes.
The march of the Masque covered
a period of progress made by Ne
groes from 1919 to 1919.
From the time the spot light was
turned on Miss Carrie Stidwell
characteriseing the life of Phyllis
Wheatley until tn news of the assas-
sination of Lincoln not one dull
moment was spent. The most unique
feature of it all was the presenta-
ton of Miss Laura Holland as
ETHIOPIA whose qualities of honor,
love and truth demanded the re-
cognition of Miss Columbia as her
sister The Star Spangled came in
as the fms which sent the big
audience home rejoicing.

NEW YORK Y NEWS.

New York, Nov. 28.-The record
of the eolored men and women who
were sent overseas by the Young
Mems Christian Association, who
served as secretaries during the
world war is dotted with brilliant bits
of patriotic, Christian achievement,
courage, and self-abnegation. Like
the colored soldiers, they went forth
to do battle against the enemy until
the last armed foe laid down his
weapon of warfare.
The total number sent was eighty
four, siXty-one men and twenty-three
women. OF this number two died on
active service overseas and two died
In this country. Frederick d. Ballou,
of Richmond, KY, and the Rev. R.
A. Prtchett, of Philadelphia, who
served with the forces in Africa, were
drowned at Salaam, in East
Africa. The two men who died in the
home service were the Rev. II. f..
Levi, of Taliadega, Ala, who died at
Camp Wheeler and Hiram II. Wheel
err, of Urbana, ILL.,, who died while on
furlough. The Y. NJ. c. A. and the
colored race have many times record
ed their pride and satisfaction for
the loyalty and efficient work done
by the colored secretaries.
Those cited for bravery were Ed
ward Terrell Banks, of Dayton, Ohio,
Hugh Oliver Cook, of Kansas City,
Mo, and NJ. W. Bullock, former Dart
mouth football star.
Mr.. Banks won his citation for
bravery while serving the 368th
Infantry of the 92nd Division. This
Division received word that scout
had been wounded and was lying
helpless between the lines. Banks
Immediately set out to rescue the
wounded man but in the attempt was
caught by terrific barrage and could
not get back. With determination
to save his man Secretary Banks
stayed with him through the night
and brought him back the next morn
ing when the firing was less severe
and carried him to safety. For this
/ he was recommended for citation
! by Captain Smith, commanding Com.
pany K, of the 368 Infantry.
For gallant conduct in the Cham
payne offensive of September 26tf
to October 9Th, Hugh Oliver Cook
of Kansas City, attached to the 37ls
Infantry was thus recommended by
Col. P. /. Miles, commanding the re
giment, 'for heroic conduct in volun
teering to aid in administering to thu
wounded on September 18th, nea
Hill 1888. He worked tirelessly unit
he himself was gassed.
NJ. w. Bullock, was cited by Col
Hayward, of the old 18th New Yorl
regiment for gallant service with tina
regiment throughout its service.

! in the rendition of a poem entitled
the Land of Beginning Again. She
demonstrated through the delivery of
this poem that the art of drama is
a profession only to be gained
through studious application and
Jealous effort.
At this point Negro spirituals were
interspersed here and there showing
that their distinctive place in Negro
life is not yet forgotten. Bye and
Bye" sung by Mrs. Blanche p Dor
sey was fascinating in most signif-
icant way; Wade in the Water"
sung by Miss Helen Townley had its
desired effect. The high water mark
in this particular sphere was reached
when Mr.. Thomas Terrell led the
chorus in Joshua Fought the Battle
of Jericho. This number not only
brought applause but laughter due
to the manner in which the song was
sung.
Before we stray too far away from
the stellar attractions of the evening
we are reminded that Miss Mary +.
Jones appeared in a special selection
which had unique place of the pro-
gram. She sang most wonderfully

self additional esteem in the hearts
of the music lovers of Chicago. At
the finale of Miss Jones' Selections
beautiful bouquet of gold Chrys-
anthemum was presented her. Mr..
George L. johnson attired in an
evenings dress was presented in a
classic--- of songs, his spe-
cial feature was Flowers from all
over the World. His tenor voice won
for him distinction and place per-
manently occupied by the masters
of John Mccormack class.

The evenings entertainment reach

feet. So masterful was this number
rendered, so captivating was its
presentation that what was done had
to be done all over again.

Your next error is in saying that

wording would call for official action
n the part of the commission. The

which you unintentionally misquote is
"He was also asked last week by

is a wholly different thing from what
you say. As you are member OF
