,ditor. The Richmond Planet:

Editor, The Richmond Planet:
The daily papers carried, in their
columns asst week an announcement
10 the effect that 1 was the official
head Of The Royal Knights of King

granted license by the Bureau of In

nose of procuring a license to do

The duties of such an agent are TO
accepJ legal services of all processes
for the Corporation to make appear

CHOCOLATE DANDIES" FAST
AND PAR-EXCELLENT SHOW

Chocolate Dandies" rendered
two acts and ten scenes at the Acad-
emy Of Music here November 8, g,
and z to a large audience OF both
white and colored people, in fact,
more VIII tie people showed, their APP
prec alton than has ever been done
here in recent years. The costumes
were refined and gorgeous and the
act ng up to the minute. 1t was pro-
duced rapidly from the time of the
rising of the curtain unti its close.
With the exception of about five
minutes, the two hours were one
rapidly revolving scene after another.
The dancing of Howard Gilmore Of
New York blocked the play. The
VIII te audience went wild so to speak
and caused Elmore TO dance to the
point of exhaustion. At was vain
for him to appear and bow, the White
folks backed by the colored folks,
called for more and he gave it with
variations BaInville Picks served
as an admirable partner. 1t is diff
cult TO describe Lew Peyton and the
irresist be Onions, both of whom
were prominent characters in Run
min Wild. FFIliB
Pevton is second edition of Bert
Williams the late comedian, while
Onion Jeffrey is just himself. Lew
Peyton has face that is immobile.
Not a smile isumines his counten-
ance as he utters the most humorous
and side-splitting colloQuys. Miss
Hattie King Reavis is a peculiar
character. She has charming re-
eiring manner, a voice that possesses
charming melody and stage dignity
and modesty that betoken excellent
home training.
1t is not possible to analyze all of
the talena in this wonderful show.
The orchestra of five musicians, the
pianist being female, is equal to
twenty-five and they play with an
accuracy and a nicely that IS simply
wonderful. We predict for this play
Il success which will place it in the
forefront of musical comedies and
keep il there.
The racing scene, showing two
horses in action on the stage is a
wonderful production. Through the
courtesy of the management, We saw
how it was produced. Two horses
are led behind the scene upon a
Slated platform, oblong n shape,
being about four feet wide and about
Il feet long. Both platforms are
side by side upon rollers. The horses
are hEched to upright rods in the
Platforms and when they run the
treadmill moves under their feet.
They go at breakneck speed with the
jockeys assr.de.
When the horn blows, they are
ready for acton. Then book and
tickle and rope draw one platform
ahead of the other and the horse on
If automatically wirS the race. The
s,x-foot handler of this part of the
stage parauhernalia explained that 1t
is interesting to see the losing horse
Increase bis speed, not being abe to
understand why he always loses the
race 1t is necessary to train the
horses in advance for this part of
the show. One of the horses had
been lost.
The idea is from Ben Hur' and
the gentleman handFng the part was
emp'o Dyed n handling the 'Ben Hur'
chariot race. The reflections upon
colored folks is cancelled by that

before was but a dream.

Spanish Government, Wishing to
Save Its Soldiers From Privations
of Long Captivity, Following Cap
ture of Entire Division, Parleys
With Chieftain With Object of
Ransoming Men.
Paris, Nov. I'll 1921, when
Abd-el-Krim captured whole
Spanish division at Annual, the
Spanish government, wishing to save
their soldiers from the privations of
long captivity, entered into negotia-
tions with the Riffian chieftain with
the object Of ransoming the prison
ers. After some weeks of bargain
ing, the sum of 100000 pesetas
was offered and accepted. On the
day fixed for the release 'Abd-el-Krim
suddenly came forward with de-
mand for an additional $4,000
pesetas for the prisoners Laundry
bill incurred during the time they
had enjoyed his hospitality. This
was pand, and the captives were de-
livered, each one clothed in. a sack
The next day the Spanish Prfess
came out with terrible arraignment
of Riffian commercial morality. to
which Abd-el-Krim replied, explain
ing that Riffian and European laun-
dries were much alike, citing an un-
fortunate experience of similar
kind in Madrid.
Surrounded BY Tribesmen.
During the Spanish retreat OF 1924
many small posts were surrounded
by hostile tribesmen. Out of con-
sideration for the beleaguered gar
risons, and in order to avoid difficult
operations by relief columns, the gen.
eral staff instituted a new and
humane method of warfare, which
they called political action. This con-
sisted of purchasing from the Rifian
besiegers permission to withdraw the
garrisons from the posts and I'M
munity from stack during the retreat
to the base. The negotiations were
conducted by Spanish officer with
the kaid who was besieging each
post.
After several reliefs were effected
portional to the number of men in
by political action" scale of pay
ment was developed which was pro-
the post, with certain deductions in
the form of drawback for senior Of
ficers, whom Abd-el-Krim was
anxious to avoid capturing. As might
have been expected, the bargaining
was long and characterized by some
bad feeling Abd-el-Krim, jealous of
the time lost in armistice, finally
sent an emissary to Spanish head
quarters with the following note:
Text of Note.
