LOew's Palace this week, in company
with seven other units of entertain
vile bill
Supplementing a distinctive orches-
trail feature, which includes an ar
rangement by NJ. Rubinoff of world
renowned compositions by the great
masters of music, the guest conductor
has violin turn of his own, present
ing in three interpretations a popular
melody, the origin of which is traced
in the first movement to TschalkoW-
skye "Andante Cantabile." The eight
Victor artists have on other occasions
proved popular entertainers in Wash
ington, and the throngS which greet
ed their reappearance yesterday would
indicate that they are favorites.
"Blarney," the screen feature OF
the program, comes most appropri-
ately during the week when the at
tention of the general public is di
rected toward the prize fight. for
"Rlarney" is the story of the cham
pion fighter of Ireland who comes to
New York in the year 1870 to con-
Guer the Western Hemisphere. The
picture is nearly all fight, but it is a
known fact that the picturegoinS
public thoroughly enjoys a worth
while display of the fistic art on the
screen. Renee Adoree and Ralph
Graves portray the leads, the former
being very pretty in the fashions OF
the 70s and the latter winning much
applause for his fighting ability.

METROPOLITAN-"The Amateur
Gentleman"

The costume picture, almost with
out the necessity OF plot, direction
or acting. is always interesting. but
when one has the other qualities 1t
is invariably charming. The many
who crowded the Metropolitan at all
performances yesterday will testify
to that. "The Amateur Gentleman
with Richard Barthelmess and Dor
othy Dunbar playing the leading
roles, has many characteristics to
make it remembered by all who saw
it. 1t is one of the films that remains
vivid in the memory.
The story is Of England 100 years
ago when sports. particularly horse
manship, were the sole pastime of
the moneyed class. Richard Barthel-
mess is the poor boy who inherits a
fortune and goes to London to become
a. gentleman. He falls in love with
Lady Cleone Meredith and does
everything he can to save her broth
er. The whole thing ends with his
discovery that gentlemen do not de-
pend upon their clothes for their
designation and Lady Cleone finds
that q prizefghter's son is the truest
nobleman of them all. The picture
is full of action. A feature which
makes it interesting is the close at
tention to detail in the settings and
in direction Miss Dunbar is charm
ing in all the scenes, but her great

The most famous of the modern

night with some evidence that just

AS an asset, the services of the,
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People is of
a value that cannot be computed
upon any other basis than that of
inestimable value, when the consti-
tut .onal rights and privileges of the
American citizen of color are con
sidered. 1t occupies a unique posi-
lion, in that it's composition and
membership discard the strict racial
lines in combination which brings
to the forefront the best clements in
both races. Those Of US, who do no
regard the flag Of The United States
as our flag and who are looking ask
ance to Africa or TO any other
country as our home and native
land should have no use for this
remarkable organization.

believes that race, color or the
previous condition of servitude
should have no place either locally
or nationally in this Republic OF

The death of DR.. William SIN

the field of worldly action one of the
most remarkable characters our race
has ever produced. He was a man

when convinced that Iris course of
action was right would continue the
conflict regardless of criticism or
power of his opponents.

characteristics. We have known
him for more than quarter of q
century and during all of that time
his views never ran counter to our
own. He was as "open as a clock
face" Hypocrisy could not exist in
him. Even his enemies admired
him for his candor. He never struclS
blow in the dark and during his
scenic career, he was called upon to
strike many blows.
He was a devoted friend and q
relentless enemy. When he closed
his eyes in death, those of us, who
have been contending for all of our
rights and privileges under the Con-
stitution of the United States lost in
battle ''the noblest Roman of them
