The Bishops Council Has The Floor. All Inter
est Turned Toward The Coming Of That Great
Body Of Race Leaders.

The second great mass meeting
of citizens met at the Pythian Tenn
pie last Tuesday, night. the 23rd
inst, to perfect the general plan
for the coming of the Bishops
Council and correctional Assem-
bly, which are to hold their ses-
session in this city early in Feb
ruary next. The good people of Dali
las are becoming fully aroused to
the magnitude of the task that is
before them in caring for so vast
a company distinguished persons.
Men representing every walk of
: life were present at this meeting
and magnified keen interest in
all that was done. 1t means much
to have all the Bishops of the A.
M. e. church and Bishops from the
other branches of the Colored
Methodism as the guest of Dallas.
The Dallas citizens are determin-
ed that the visitors shall leave the
city with nothing but words of
Praise for the hospitality and fine
spirit of our people of both races.
DR.. r. 7. Hamilton, the chairman,
was much delighted with the large
number of representative citizens
who gathered, to support him the
big task to which they elected him.
The executive committee met and
made the following selections of
men who are to head the various
departments of the big drive that
is being planned to raise fund Of
$500, needed to perfect plans for
the Council. Prof. ]. p. Starks, the
tn ousand mems club. 1t is the pur-
pose of this unique club to enlist
a thousand men, who will help this
enterprise. Every broad minded
man should be member.
DR.. r. T. Hamilton was selected
The Dallas express. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1893-1970, 1920-11-27

to bring the matter to the Church
es, lodges and other organizations.
1t is his object to enlist all these
institutions in the coming of this
meeting and it is to, all intent and
purposes a race meeting, rather
than a sect and it is up to the cit
liens Of Dallas to prove what they
stand for.
Mr.. r. Lee Jones is to head the
committee which is to impress the
business men of the city, with the
duty resting upon them to do their
full share, as there will be no line
of business that will not be bene-
fitted by the coming of several
thousand people to the city.
DR.. C L. Morgan is to take up
the matter with the Professional
people; it is his plan to show the
public spirit of this class of our
,citizens who so ably represent us
in the various professions.
Prof. N. w. Harllee will bring
the matter to the white people
through their churches. He is de-
termined to have them see their
duty in this matter.
Mr.. j. M. Tolbert was chosen to
head the committee on homes and
will open headquarters in the new
st. James A. M. E. Church just as
soon as the building is finished.
These gentlemen will have those
who are to associate with them in
the work named in few days.
A special meeting of all men in
terested in the coming of this great
great meeting is called to meet at
the Grand Court Room at the Py-
THAN Temple next Tuesday night,
November the 30th when all the
committees will be named and a
date fixed for work.

UNCERTAIN BUSINESS.

Selecting the right sort of stories
for a star seems to be as uncertain
a business as picking the winning
horse. The producers have had Vivian
Martin playing all sorts Of parts
kid parts, hick parts, sentimental
school girls and everything else they
could think Of. 1t never seemed to
occur to them that Miss Martin had
beauty, style, and snap all her own,
all of which fitted her to play self
reliant, educated, modern girls. They
discovered this in "The Third Kiss"
and those who saw that picture will
remember that they saw a new
Vivian Martin-with a charm they
hadn't guessed she owned.
His Official Fiancee," her newest
picture, playing for the last time at
the Elko tonight, gives her the same
sort of Character girl who runs
things, including a man. l don't
know whether Ellis Official Fiancee"
is better than 1.-The Third Kiss ar
not. 1t isn't 80 spectacular, but then
again, it is more human and has
more genuine love interest,
It tells. a clever story. -

MARY PICKFORD IN
"pOLLYANNA." REX TONIGHT

When Eleanor H. Porter wrote
"Pollyanna," thus strumming the
heartstrings of the people with the
magic Of her genius, she little real
lied that she was creating an ideal
vehicle for the worlds greatest mo-
tion picture actress.
Yet that is exactly what this ap-
pealing novel has proved to be, and
in the film version released by the
United Artists Corporation, to he
shown at the Rex theatre tonight,
Sunday and Monday, Mary Pickford
paints in black and white the most
pathetic, adorable, lovable Polly
anna that could possibly be con-
ceived.
There is a depth of feeling in her
characterization that, reaches out and
grips the heart. The humor, the
pathos, the genuine humanness that
she puts into her work in this pic
ture add the largest and by Tar the
most brilliant jewel to her already
sparkling crown of success. Undoubt-
edly Mary Pickford's Pollyanna will
linger long in the memories of those
who follow the Flicker Art.
Paul Powell, who directed this
film, has shown himself thoroughly
familiar with construction and tech
nique. His handling of the cast is
all that could be asked, and has re-
suited in rounding this offering into
perfect picture.

Something for the audience to

WILL. NOT REVEAL PLOT
OF "THIRTEENTH CHAIR

AS there can be no suspense in a
murder mystery when the climax is
tivu,ged, the management of the
Grand theatre, which will present the
great melodrama, "The Thirteenth
Chair" tonight and Sunday, refuses
to tell anything about the story other
than that it is written by Bayard
Nel.4ev, author Of within the Law,
adapted for the screen and directed
by Lecnce Perret, and enacted by a
splendid cast headed by Yvonne Delva
and Creighton Halle and including
Marie Shotwell, Christine Mayo, Marc
McDermott, Walter Law, Suzanne
Colbert and George Deneumourg.
To say that "The Thirteenth Chair
is a story that attempts to find the
murderer of a man at spiritualistic
seance, during which the man seek
ing the murderer is killed in the same
manner as the first, gives you some
idea of the possibilities of the story
for tenseness and mystification. To
add greater mystery to the situation,
there was someone present each time,
but no actual witnesses to the deed
A young girl, who turns out to be
the supposedly lost daughter OF the
clairvoyant, is one of the many who
are suspected Of the crime.
