DRAMA AT NEW HOUSE
LAFAYETTE PLAYERS PRESENT
TWO PLAYS AT HOWARD. :.

The Howard Theatre, formerly the
Rayo, is now under new management
and made its bow to the public by
offering the Lafayette Players of New
York as an attraction They present
ed this week to appreciative audien-
ces, "The Bandit Man" and "What
Every Girl Should Know" All of
the players are "stars" in their class
and. the rendition Of the first play
was particularly realistic and enter
tanning
The plot was we'll laid and the per-
sons selected suited admirably the
characters assigned to them Andrew
Bishop, who is we'll known and a
general favor-te in the theatrical
world. starred as Lynn Davidson with
Cleo Desmond as a favorite.
Certainly, the Bandit Man, in the
person of A. B. DeComathiere could
not be improved upon. while Andrew
b shop is a master in the character
of Lynn Davidson. The principles
handled the Spanish part of the pro-
gram with the facility of the natives
of Mexico. The scene is Ioid in So
nora, Mexico and the Bandit dies at
the hands Of Lynn Davidson.
Babe Townsend is the humorous
character of the drama and he keeps
the audience in one uproar of laugh
ter from the start to the finish. When
he is supposed to have been executed
he shows up, not much worse for
wear, being anxious at all times to
return to New York until he becomes
enamored with a Mexican senorita.

Mr.. Robert w. Carter, of Brook

cerning the Negro writes the follow
ing concerning the suggestion of a
monument in memory of the black
mammies of ante-bellum days:
1t is not the purpose of the writer
to interfere with the favoroble senti-
ment which seems to exist in South
ern element of the Anglo-Saxon race
toward the colored people. but there
is room for different view regard ng
the erection of monument in Wash

the editorial of The Planet, Saturday
the 18th of January, 1928. The nice
speech in Congress of Hon. c.. NJ.
Stedman, of North Carolina and your
opinion as referred to concerning
tbs matter makes good reading and
is that conciliatory logic which
creates the better feeling than that
which promotes lynching and jim

But it does not go far enough to
admit the offspring of theee beloved
black mammies to full manhood

ARKANSAS COURT
BARS C0LORED
CHILDREN OUT

Deny Colored Family Right
to Attend Only School

preston News Service)


Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 25.-A temp
orary injunction was denied and the
decree of the Montgomery county
Chancery Court was affirmed by the
Arkansas Supreme Court last Tues
day in the case Of Hattie Black and
others against the directors of the
school district No. 16 to restrain the
directors from denying members o.
the black family the privilege of az
tending the only school maintained in
the district this school being for white
children.
The directors Of the school district
held that the Black children have u
trace of Negro blood and therefore.
are "Colored People" within the mean
ing OF the statute. The Blacks contend
ed that they were of the caucasian
race with a trace of Cherokee Indian
blood. The Chancery Court dismissed
their case on the ground that the same
question had been decided by the Cir.
cult Court, even though the Chancery
Court was the proper one in which to
bring the suit. The Supreme Court
held that it was too late to secure the
relief there after having the same re-
lief denied in an action in another
court.
The decision on the former appeal
was to the effert that there was sub
stantial evidence to sustain the action
of the directors in refusing adioit.
tance to the children on account o.
their blood and that the directors
should not be controlled by the court.
The present action is not an effort 20
