Classy Presentation.

plantation Days." produced and
staged by Lawrence Deas, producer
of Shuttle Along" opened at the
Pantages theater in Minneapolis Sun
day at the matinee show. From the
opening chorus to the grand finale
the show holds its audience SPELL
bound, the only interruption being a
cyclone of applause for each artist.
Chappelle and Stinnette, Seymour
and Jeanette and the Three Pepper
Shakers (Scott, Allen, Lee) prove the
most popular of the show in so far
as personality is concerned. Chap
pelle is indeed a great artist, pos
sessing personality that never fails
to win the most cynical of the audi
ence. Stinnette is clever, dainty and
has a soprano voice that rivals the
best. Her rendition of Kentucky
Home" is a musical treat. Seymour
really has pepper" in his shoes and
does a Strut that none other than
the famous George Walker could do.
Jeanette in her boyish attire capti-
Yates her audience by her snap, pep
and lightning steps. And the Three
Pepper Shakers-well they must be
seen to be appreciated.
Other Artists.
The Five Crackerjacks and Archie
Ware draw the admiration of their
guests. Ethel Duke is a clever little
stopper and has permanent smile
that will bear the most rigid inspec-
ton. Archie and Walter Jones really
"get 'em' with their unique offering
of southern travesty. The two garner
a lucrative harvest of laughs. Petite
Madeline Belt is clever little enter
tainer and really strives to please her
audience with her smile, voice and
dance. The chorus consists of a
combination of beauty, talent and
splendid voices, a concoction seldom
found. They are better than Zieg-
fields best. The show is SO good one
hates to leave his seat after the final
curtain. Every artist is in stellar
role. Chappelle and Stinnette wrote
the lyrics and music, assisted by
"Wen" Talbert, who directs the or
chestra.
Best Ever in Twin Cities.
plantation Days" Is without
doubt the greatest race show ever
produced, even excelling the famous
Shuttle Along" company. Lawrence
Deas has an enviable record as a pro-
ducer of note. His recent success
thoroughly demonstrated the possi-
bilities of Negro genius. Again,
plantation Days" proves that COM
edy can be produced effectively with
out the assistance of smut. Not one
suggestive scene or expression can be
charged to the company. The Twin
Cities have not been fortunate in
seeing the best in race shows, as they
appear in the East, but plantation
Days" will stand as a memorial to
the art of the American Negro.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE
is PARTIALLY FORMED

The greatest step toward the
financing Of homes for the race in st.
Paul was made by the Minnesota
Building and Loan Association at a
meeting Tuesday night when the di-
rectors met with prominent members
of the race for that purpose. Under
the plan adopted the privilege of
having a home built under the asso-
citation plan will be accorded race
members on the same basis as those
of the other group. Such men as
John r. Scott, Thomas ]. Skellet, J.
c. Enright, Thomas E. Good, William
O'Conner, A. w. Koeniki, Eugene
Towle and L. w. Bick are at the
head of the Minnesota Building and
Loan Association. The association
has a capital Of $5.500,000 for the
purpose Of financing homes for its
members.
Eliminates Loan Sharks.
The extreme difficulty Of having
new homes financed through the usu-
al mortgage plan has been largely re-
sponsibie for the lack OF privately
owned homes among the race in st.
Paul. Few firms, whether banking
or private, have in the past been will
ing to finance homes for the race peo-
pie. Such as would consent to the
making Of loan charged an exhorbi-
tant rate of interest plus bonus for
making the loan. The bonus is dis
pensed with under the tentative plan
Of the Loan Association, and the legal
interest charge employed. Again, we
have suffered the disadvantage of not
being able to have mortgages renew
ed. The entire plan is a boon to
home building in the city and many
will. without doubt, become members
of the Minnesota Building and Loan
Association.
Advisory Committee.
A race advisory committee has
been appointed whose business IL
will be to make survey of the securi-
ty offered by applicants for loans.
The present committee is composed
of the following: o. c. Hall. w. T.
Francis, w. ]. Utley, o. Howell,
Thos. r. Morgan, Elmer A. Carter
and F. ID. McCracken. There are
eight more to be appointed as soon as
expedient. In speaking of the ad-
vantages of the Building and Loan
Association, F. d. McCracken said:
"It will be a relief from excessive
interest and a great advantage in
that II will eliminate the money
lending shark and make financing of
homes for our group within our
reach"
In the near future a mass meeting
will be held at one of the leading
which will be attended by
of both races who are inter-
ested in the Own-Your-Own-Home
plan of the Minnesota Building and
Loan Association.

Discusses Race Problem.

In speaking of the present wave
of prejudice. Mr.. Bagnall said: "The
Negro has reached the crossroad and
whether or not he will receive a
larger measure of freedom or become
the victim of greater prejudice will
depend upon his own conduct" Race
prejudice is taking new hold in
Northern states, according to the
speaker. The Klan was described as
towards whose tennets were white
supremacy and Negro subjection and
large portion Of the new problems
confronting the Negro were aug
mented by the Klan agency. Twenty
four Northern states are attempting
to inaugurate the separate school
system, said Mr.. Bagdall. He did
not fail to warn against accepting
the crumbs from the other fellows
table and that the race must form a
more solid front and do something
for themselves as well as wait for as
sistance.

Burton Holmes. one of the most
popular lecturers on the American
stage on the subject OF travels, and
generally considered an authority on
the "wanderlust," addressed an inter-
ested audience at the National The
ater last night on Motoring Through
Italy"
Mr.. Holmes can always be counted
upon to describe unique features in
every subject such as are not touched
upon by the majority of lecturers. In
this instance. he did not dwell upon
the obvious and we'll known spots in
Italy. although they were far from
neglected. In addition to the pic
lures Of Vesuvius and the beautiful
Bay of Naples. renowned in song and
story, he showed quaint scenes of a
motor trip taken going northward
from Naples. including picturesque
hill cities such as Perugia, San Gimig-
nano and Assist. There were inter-
esting bits about the customs Of old
pageants and pictures Of the tomb of
Dante, that greatest Of Italian poets.
Also colorful bits about the life in
the famous cities such as Pompeii.
Sorrento and Amalfi, not to mention
Rome itself, were shown.
Every side of Italian life of the
present and some of the manners of
the past were set forth, even includ-
ing a small sketch of Mussolini by
Mr.. Holmes, which aroused much en-
thusiasm and applause from the audi

Wild Bill Hickok. "

William s. Hart, after an absence
or two years from pictures, returned
to the screen at Loew's Palace Yes
terday to thrill and delight capacity
houses with a splendid picturization
OF the historic character Wild Bill
Hickok"
Hart has changed. He is the same
nf phe wea. a the he bs ss .e Gs' of doors
cessories of guns and fights, but he
has developed a brand of action, none
the less brave and bold. but far more
subtle and full of delicacieS than the
Bill Hart" of old.
He throws his arms on high, with
two big pistols, after the fashion of
the great old scouts, whose life is
portrayed faithfully in many of it's
wicked gun. but there is more to this
new picture of wild Bill Hickok"
than wild west story. 1t is full Of
interesting and picturesque back
ground of the old days of the middle
west. Research work shows results
in minutest details of setting and Co.'S
tune. even to an old train of the
ancient vintage when the Santa Fe
terminal was in Iowa.
The romantic thread Of the story is
deftly woven into the wild fabric of
the adventuresome hero's pioneer life.
His friendship and paternal devotion
to Calamity Jane, girl orphaned by
the Indians, Is pictured with real
character, while the love he bore for
tho beautiful blonde wife Of another
develops a story and action OF big
hearted yet fearless honesty. which
winds up the picture with an unsus-
pected surprise.
This picture Is well worth seeing,
not only for its historic background,
but for the new Bill" Hart.
