it to his old home in Topeka, Kansas,
Mrs. viii Stewart and Mrs. Georgia

1t was truly gorgeous affair ano
ideally beautiful in every detail. The
dinner was served in a handsomely
decorated garden, with over hanging
electric bulbs of many colors and huge
Japanese lanterns. Then near the
guests table the adornment was rem
dered complete by a placement of
stand lamps, while the whole scene
was given incompatible charm by a
constant glow of moonlight sitting
through the trees. The sixty diners
formed merry throng and were only
induced to leave the cooling breezes
of the garden when Ernie Moore's or
chestra struck up dreamy waltz that
called all inside. Dancing was the or
der until late hour.

all our faults. He is not one of the
preachers who use the pulpit to fight
or Dellttle those who differ. In every
sermon he has shown where Is the
Christians strength or weakness. The
members of the Second Baptist Church
recognize him as an able leader, citi-
zens respect him and encourage him in
his efforts to place Cheyenne on a high
moral standard. The ofd church edi-

erected instead.
The meetings are held at S16 West

WILLIAMS JUBILEE SINGERS
They're coming back again.

They're coming back again.
Colorado's favorite colored vocalists
the world-famous and internationally
popular Williams Jubilee Singers.
On this, their eighth Colorado tour,
they will appear one night only, in
concert, at the Auditorium, Monday
evening, August 13.
There is q marvellous potency and
fascinating appeal in the true Afro
American songs, from the primitive
folk songs, lullabies, plantation melo-
dies, river and boat songs, with their
plaintive minor harmonies, to the
rousing camp meeting songs and fer
vid spirituals.
Because they echo the joys and sor-
rows of a people they touch the hearts
poignantly, and in their lighter moods
and in the care-free darky comics they
set toes to tapping and shoulders to
swaying with their matchless rhythm.
Dvorak, the greatest composer, knew
the beauty and artistic merit of these
songs and embodied them in several
of his American-created compositions.
Musical critics everywhere have de-
clared the Williams Jubilee Singers to
be the finest interpreters of Afro
American harmony. Each member of
the company is a star in his or her
own right and has added to inherent,
native musical talent, the study and
training that has made him or her a
finished vocal artist.
Certainly no group of colored sing
ers has the national and International
renow and the perennial popularity
today possessed by the Williams or
ganization. For 20 years they have
been delighting American audiences
and they have toured England, Scot
land, Wales, Belgium, Germany and
France. In London alone they gave
100 performances, appearing in all
principal theaters, including the COLI
scum. While abroad all received ad-
ditional training under Miss Ida Aid
ridge, student of Jenny Lind and one
of the greatest vocal master abroad.
All members of the company have
been educated in some of Americas
best schools, including Fisk University
at Nashville, the school that intro
duced the original Fisk Jubilee Sing
ers. Mr.. Robert S. Killebrew, the
lyric tenor, was n sergeant in the A.
e. F. and participated in several OF
the hardest engagements of the MeuSe-
Argonne offensive.
The local concert will be heard at
popular prices and the public is urged
to make early reservations to be sure
of obtaining the desired seats. Seats
will be on sale at Knight -Campbell's
and the Wells Music Co. store on and
after August g.
There is one element that changes In
lyric fashions have failed to disturb.
That is the music of the Negro, as
he brought it from Africa to the
southern United States, and perpetu-
ated it there through plantation and
industrial life.
So there is perennial popularity for
such of the race as choose to exploit
its special music, either by voice or in
strument.
