ROMANCE WINS
BY MARIAN HALE
e service Writer

NEW YORK-When people tell
you hat the man OF today IS not
romantic-Just don't believe them,
advises Josephine Lovett.
And if you want to collect pro-
posaIs instead of a career. don't di-
rect YOUR appeal entirely to a mans
mentality or his senses, or his prac-
teal nature-but to his imagina-
ton" she advises. When you have
touched that. you dominate him"
do you know" she asked
earnestly, what quality every di
rector in the country is looking Tor
in women today? II is the ability
to Inspire romance. That's the most
desirable quality any woman can
have"
Miss Lovett is the wife of John 5.
Robertson. the famous motion pic
ture director. She writes all hs
scenarios, goes over all his plans
with him and, according to his own
statements inspires much of his own
work. She probably knows as much
/ about what pictures need as any Nd
man in the game.
Movie Mems ideals
She recounted this little incident:
Recently l sat IN a projection
room with three directors. viewing
a picture in which a new and IN
known actress was appearing. They
all agreed she was a winner.
Because she's the rue madonna
type said the first. Because OF heI
| eyes-they suggest hidden fire and
smoldering emotions volunteered
the second. Because. she's SO ire
sistably feminine put in the third

AS matter OF fact. they respect
colored men. who are true to their
convictions. These BLACK mammies"
believed in Lincoln and prayed for th,,
success of the Republican Party. They
did this too with some OF the pes,
blood OF tire Southland sucking at
their breasts while their noble white
mothers were devoting their time to
their husbands and to other social and
household duties. But It, did not lessen
the warmth OF the personal affection
on either side and few northerners
have been able to understand this
peculiar condition.
The southern white folks have been
taught from childhood that the Ne
groes are naturally "hewers of wool
and drawers of water" They have
certainly been doing both ever since
these same whi>e folks were born. I'm
der similar environments. .olpred
folks would have believed the same
thing about some other race. But this

have awakened to conditions and are
doing all in their power to aid these
oolored folks in finance and in busl-
ness. Even now. we have been vouch
safed support by white men OF this
class in this community and We have
faith enough to believe that they moan
what they say.
AS to preventing lynching southern
white ladies have organized to sup
press the evil and the Governors OF
thirteen southern States, including
the distinguished Governor E. Lee
Trinkle OF Virginia are now proposing
the enactment OF an antillynching bin
In every commonwealth of the ctd
Confederacy. We hope that the Smith
Anti-Lynching Bill now upon the Stat.
ute books of Ohio may be the model
for this kind Of legislation. We wan
them to remind our northern irienos
that the world moves and the south
ern white folks are moving with 1t.
We have a new Negro upon the field
of activity and we have a new south
ern white man. These men believe in
according TO colored people tho. 81
cial and political rights They believe
in giving to him equal privileges upon
the railroad trains. They are combat
ting elements amongst themselves
who do not believe these Things and it
does not become us to hamper their
efforts by ill-advised comment. we
have never believed in SACRIFICING
manhood rights. We believe in main.
our self-respect and in ayoiii. |
ing friction, except when fundamental
principles are involved Even then, |
we believe in contending for rights in
II gentlemanly manner and with that
politeness which will |
win the respect OF any honorable am.

In the meantime, we realize that the
boorish. insulting disreputable color.

bar to our advancement The prize
attitude of some of our
people contending for social rights
and civil privileges has tenden-
cy to increase friction and make
1t difficult task for the con-
