The Howard Players, under the di-
rection of Montgomery Gregory and
Marie MSore-Forrest, ably seconded
by Alan Locke are working to de-
velop the dramatic talents of the race.
They aim to establish a National Ne
gro Theatre, which as in the. case OF
the Irish Theatre at Dublin, shall win
worldwide recognition and respect for
the race. Mrs. Forrest, known
throughout the country as an out
standing leader in community drama
and pageantry has sacrificed her time
and energies to the notable success of
the work. Her services in this regard
cannot be too highly recognized and
appreciated. Professor Gregory also
has the cordial support of Percy Mac
kaye, Eugene O'Neill, Kenneth Mac
gowan, leading proponents Of dramatic
art in America.
The Players next offering will be
ON January tenth when they will pre-
sent a beautiful Persian play "As

girl. This production will have many
of the features of The Garden of

The fact Of your being alive is what
gives you the right to continue trying;
age is only one factor; achievement has
many factors. Thought is a force;
hopes are things; dreams do come true;
and to the ambitious results are pos

Barmstable, Mass.-The three Negro
men who barely missed lynching
evil IN the South, but somehow the
mobs generally seem to get the better
Of the authorities. But a new method
IS now to be given a trial here. The
tree near the county jail on which
two persons have died m the last year
was recently ordered cut down. The
authorities seem to think that if lynch
ing trees are cut down that will have
a deterrent effect on mobs. After
every lynehing now, It is supposed
the tree win be cut down. It would
be more logical to CIT down all the
trees and telegraph poles in Texas
and Georgia This would prevent
many lynchings, as there would be
none to hang people to. There are
two objections to the latter plan: One
IS, It Is too expensive, and the other,
II would not prevent shooting and
burning. But at any rate, an inter-
ested public win watch the effect of
the Texas experiment. II win sue
coed If the Texans regard a tree as
OF more value than respect for law

FLASHLIGHTS FROM OVER
THE COUNTRY


Memphis, Tenn.-The Commercial
Appeal of December 10th carries ar
editorial in opposition to the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill, in which it re-
hearses the old familiar bromides Of
its viciousness and supposed uncon-
stitutionality, and then goes on to
say:
at would be an encouragement to
crime because it puts an insurance
upon criminals. We do not believe
that the people of this great country
will consent to confer a monetary re-
ward upon those evil members of So
eiety who violate the laws so helm
ously that they arouse the mob
spirit"
Evidently, the much perturbed edi-
tor wants to say that Negroes would
commit crimes, IN order to be
lynched, thereby making $4,000
available to their dependents. But
that would sound a little too absurd,
so he talked in verbose, round about
language under the equivocal head
ing: Insurance for Criminals"

was made today Of the rumors to

order of the crown forces.
The exact contrary prevails. Mem
bers of the unit have been given per-
mits by General Strickland. comman-
der of the Cork area to go anywhere
even in the martial law area and to
initiate at once such measures for
relief and reconstruction as seem to
them necessary. The permits were is
sued with the consent and approval
of General Macready, commander in
chief of the Grown forces In Ireland.
The outline OF plans was completed
at a meeting at Cork attended by the
relief workers. General Strickland
and Mason Mitchell, the American
consul.
Grown forces provided the unit
with figures showing that Irish un-
employment is actually in excess Of
the figure arrived at by the Ameri-
] can investigators. A conservative es-
innate of the damage Is thirty-five
million dollars.
The program of the unit has relief
to starving and homeless as the first
step with reconstruction to follow as
quickly as possible so that the need
for outside aid may be eliminated.
