Want Negro in CabiSet

The appointment of a neo,o

in a letter sent 70 Presidents
lect Warren G. Harding by the
Nom Partisan Citizens Union Of
New York. The letter, which was
signed by the President of the
Union, in part follows:
This association hereby de-
sires to request your considers

Der Of your Cabinet. l realize
that to some this request will
appear paradoxical and that to
others it may seem inexpedient
for you to appoint a colored man
as a member of your official fam

brother, and who can contend
that the negro by ability, loyal
ty snd sacrifice is not entitled to
a place in the council of this ma

At Today

Today, September 8, the attrac-
ton at the Majestic theatre will be
''The Emperor Jones'" that stirring
drama of Eugene G. O'NeilI's which,
with the Provincetown Players and
Charles Gilpin, was brought UP out
of the semi-obscurity of the Players
own theatre on MacDougal street to
the brilliancy of a Broadway set
ting. And the electric lights of the
Great White Way scintillated no
more brightly than did this master
piece of dramatic writing through
the medium of the uncommonly
powerful and imaginative acting of
the negro artist, Charles Gilpin.
Provincetown Players displayed VI
sion and inspiration when they de-
cided to produce O'Neills odd play.
but of even more importance, they
acquired an actor who had it in him
t. project the pit, the terror and
the understandable foreboding which
are part of the secret of THE En-
peror Jones'" When Adolph klau-
Der journeyed down to Greenwich
Village to see a performance of the
play, he was so enthralled by the
piece itself and even more by the
remarkable acting of MIR. Gilpin
that he Immediately set foot plans
to bring the entire production up
town. The success of this venture
is known to everyone. The En-
peror jones' finished the season
out at the Princess theatre and was
taken for a short tour, meeting with
the widest enthusiasm everywhere.

'AL|CE BLUE"
GOWN IN DARK
"Irene" Was Wonderful Hit,
But Lights Went Out on 2
Different Occasions

Although the sweet little Alice
Blue Gown" of Irene fame fitted and
danced about on the stage of the Ma
jestic Theatre in all its captivating
beauty last night, no n saw even
the tinieSt part of it-not ever the
most interested in the baldheaded
row.
Just at that critical moment when
Irene Dunn in the leading role as
Irene O'Dare was about to exhibit
the much talked of and sung about
gown, after a quick change on the
front of the stage, and just at that
moment when every one of the
large audience were Straining and
craning their necks for that first eff
feet on her charming person, just
then. the Majestic became the thea
ire of darkness.
On the instant everyone thought
it was an error in the lighting effect
but as the performance continued
and the actors finished the scene of
song and dance in total darkness, 1t
became evident that there were no
lights. And the sweetest of all
gowns did not appear again.
Through no fault Of the theatre
or the theatre management but
Just at one of those unfortunate mo-
ments, which nearly every FAMILY,
whose home is Illuminated with cleo
trio lights, has experienced, the fuse
ON the street pole blew out and at a
most unfortunate moment for those
who had come to see the comedy.
At the end of the secene, William
Counihan, manager of the treatre,
announced an intermiSSion OF ten
minutes during which time an cleo
trician put a new fuse in the trans
former box on the pole just in front
OF, the .reatre. The lights came on
and the play continued for nearly
another scene when the fuse blew
put again. Everyone became exas-
perated, even the manager himself,
and This time the fus was liked
SO that it did not happen again.
Each intermission was over fifteen
minutes, leaving no time for the
proper intermission between the acts
so that the play lacked the finish
that was expected by the audience.
However,, this was not the actors
nor the homogeneous fault. The
actors continued their performance
In a finished manner even in the
darkness and the management took
but a comparatively short time
to illuminate the theatre again. For
tunately the exit lights and the
lights in the lobby of the theatre
were not affected by the same fuse
and any confusion which might have
resulted from such an occurrence
was awarded by the opening of the
lobby doors.
The comedy itself was a treat to
the people of Perth Amboy, many
Of whom had not been able to see
It in New York but took the oppor-
Elnity to see and hear it because of
Its local interest. The music which
was written by Harry Tierney, a
former Perth Amboyan, was espe-
SALLY pretty and the entire comedy
without doubt was one of the best
Sves put on this stage.

Monday at the Crescent

A drawbridge tender asleep at his
post, an open bridge and a motor
crashing into the inky waters below,
a child'S scream and a mans braVe
plunge to the rescue!
This is one of the smashing scenes
in THE Whistle"-a picture pro-
duced by William S. Hart and writ
ten by Lambert Hillyer who also di-
rected it. The original story is by
May Wilmoth and Olin Lyman.
In this new Paramount offering,
which will be shown at the Crescent
theatre next Monday, Mr.. Hart has
a new role-that of a factory work
err, a man accustomed to Jump to
the sound of the whistle"
His attempt to mete out justice to
a man whose selishness has resulted
in the death of the workers beloved
child. develops a series of situations
that come as a completely satisfying
train of events which round out to a
conclusion that is distinctly COM
pelling.
In every way this is a powerful
drama and one that should satisfy
the most exacting. Three famous
juvenile players appear in the cast.
Frank Brownlee has the "heavy"
role.
MT. I1dlt appears DIS INoDeIl Evans,
a factory worker, and has a wonder
fully strong supporting cast. Myrtle
Steadman. always a favorite, has the
leading feminine role-virtually the
only woman's part in the picture. 1t
Is a rugged story, one dealing with
human souls and the hearts of men
and women, making and breaking.

aroused such prejudice within him
that he was forced to leave town
to carve out a better career.
The development of this interest
ing plot, which brings out the big
ness as we'll as the pettiness of a
middle-size town, is illustrated in
the Paramount perturbation of The
Conquest of Canaan" which will be
shown at the Ditmas theatre on
Monday. Thomas Meighan, as Joe
Louden, stars in the picture and
Doris Kenyon in the role of Ariel
Tabor plays the leading feminine
part.
Single Handed Sam" featuring
Edna May Sperl and Edgar Jones,
a clever picture of real life, is also
included in this program.

"Over the HILL" which will open at
the Majestic on September 5.
cover the Hill' is n of the most
remarkable attractions yer shown
on Broadway, where it has been
playing for over a year.
The theme of "Over the Hill' is
mother love, and the story is based
upon the work of Will Carleton, the
poet. The action is drawn from an
incident which occurred during the
boyhood of Carleton, who lived on a
farm and knew intimately the char
acters that have been made immor-
talsupon the screen. The incident of
C%arleton's early life impressed him
so wildly that he never forgit it,
and when he had grown to mans
estate he made it the theme of two
of his best loved poems.
The poems in question eventually
found their way to the motion pic

At fine Grand Theatre

In filming scenes for 1.-THE Island
of Regeneration" by Cyrus Town
send Brady, a Vitagraph production
featuring Antonio Moreno, which
will be shown at the Grand theatre
today, 1t was necessary to show a
ship burning at sea. Some of the
leading characters of this famous
story by Cyrus Townsend Brady are
victims of the disaster. They escape
into a small boat and find themselves
marooned on a South Sea island.
Vitagraph went to no n of ex-
pense to secure the ship and burn 1t
the waters edge. The production
of the fire at sea is n of the most
dramatic scene ever filmed. 1t was
taken at great risk to the lives of
members of the company who were
photographed leaping into the water
from the burning decks and clinging
to wreckage in the water.

Thos; A. Edison, the noted inven.
TOR. says the recent business de.
preston was caused by fear. 'sThe
people have been frightened out OF
good times. unnecessarily So" he
says. s 94saa =
Fear of the wolf makes people
stop buying. Then business stag
mates and hard times follow.
The pessimist is ruled by fear.
Optimism has been defined as
nothing but the absence of fear. Get
rid OF fear, be optimistic, and bust
ness will be good, according to Ed

He is right.
The same reasoning is true of
every activity Of men and women.
Fear, the great paralyzer, is back of
most failures. Conquer the devil of
fear, develop confidence in your
abilities, and you will succeed.
Barring remote instances Of what
may be called good luck, there c N
be no success without confidence
