Ethiopia At the Bar Of Justice"
Pleases Two Large Audiences

Racial history was wonderfully
narrated in song and story to large
audiences Tuesday and Wednesday
nights when the pageant Ethiopia
at the Bar of Justice" was presented
at the Eagles auditorium.
Nothing like it has ever been pre-
sented in Seattle and. though we as
race are given to superlatiyes in
describing events it is difficult to
employ the adjectives that properly
describe this beautiful pageant of
Negro progress. A chorus of 100
voices, which had been under a
months intensive training, sang as
only a colered group can sing when
the setting is ideal and they have an
audience which responds to the spir-
it and feels the rhythm of Negro mu-
sic. .r
In the chorus we're such stellar
musical favorites as Estelle Slater
Jackson, Lena L. johnson, Lula Bea-
vers, Jessie Q. Watkins, Pearl Miller,
Margaret Malone, Charles C. Daniels,
Howard Davis, F. E. Sanders, Will
liam Taylor, James Gayton and 9TH
ers of lesser note. Under the direc-
ton of Charles C. Daniels the sing
ers stirred both audiences to enthus-
iastic demonstrations. Too much
praise can not be accorded Mrs.
Lena L. Johnson, who trained the
persons representing the characters
in the pageant. In this. connection
Mrs. johnson had some excellent
local talent and these performers
and participants gave a pleasing and
thrilling demonstration of their his
trionic ability. Especial mention can
be made of the Characterization
made by Vivian Spearman, Airline
Davidson, Cecile Berry, Kate Estella
Drake, Ophelia Hall, Elizabeth
James, Howard Davis, Edward Smith
and lronclad Oliver.
Ethiopia at the Bar of Justice"
was written by Rev. Edward j. Nc
Coo of Kansas City in order to por-
tray the part the black race has
played in the worlds history and thus
the history of the Negro race is told
in song and story that grips and
holds the auditors from the moment
the herald proclaims the opening cpl
sode until the final note dies out from
the massed chorus singing "The Star
Spangled Banner" The pageant was
communitywide effort, sponsored
