THE SYMBOL OF THE UNCoN-
QUERED.

The big new all-star Negro produc-
ton, 1.-THE Symbol of the Unconquer-
ed" by Oscar M%icheaux, to be shown
at Loves Theatre No. 2, 18th street
and Woodland avenue, seven days,
commencing Sunday, December 18th,
is the first Negro production to reach
the screen with a story of Negro life
without the Uncle Tom" rot.
Mr.. George w. K. Love of the Love
Bros. Amusement Co. personally cen
sored the production after it had
passed the Censor Board, and it is
understood that all the Jim Grow"
stuff was cut out and the production
brought up to the high standard of
the productions shown in Loves
Theatres. The story is by a Negro
and the camera work and art titles
were done by Negroes and are a credit
to the race.
The art titles are the finest that
has been seen in a Negro production
and the words Negro" Colored, ETC.,
are done in capital letters. Nothing
seems to have been overlooked by the
director in making his production
worth while.
This production was rushed from
the studio at FIT. Lee, N. j., for a pre-
showing in Kansas City, and every
Negro in the two Kansas Citys should
turn out to see this production, which
will be shown in our own Loves
Theatre N. 2 by Negroes and for
Negroes.

and the league played to more than
100000 fans. The league has been for
tunate in securing for the coming sea-
son the National League Parks, in
Cincinnati, and Brooklyn, N. Y, also
the league parks in Philadelphia. Col
ored base ball men OFF Cleveland and
Pittsburg, have secured grounds and
have started the construction of model
base ball plants. The Columbus, Ohio,
team will use Neil Park, the home of
the Columbus American Association
team. Charles Mills, and his legal ad-
wiser, Judge Homer Phillips have start
ed to enlarge the grounds in St. Louis
