What Anne Brought Home" a
comedy in three acts by Larry E.
Johnson. was given its premiere at
Parsons theater, Hartford, last night
before an audience which seemed to
get a great deal of enjoyment out Of
its amusing lines and situations. II
is simple, wholesome creation with
wealth of laughable angles and
was ably presented, there being none
of the usual rough spots noticeable
in the average first night perform
ance.
The scene is laid at Bennet's Mills
1ndiana-how jealous Long Island
must feel-in typical American
home where father is wrestling
with a discouraging financial pros
: pect, in addition to the problems
| created by the presence of three
daughters in the family. Two of the
young ladies have strictly modern
ideas. while the third, Anne, is the
household drudge, although very
willing one. To the surprise of the
family Anne brings home a husband,
who, in the estimation Of the others,
has mental altitude of 10 miles
below sea level. He is a nice chap
but is obsessed with the idea that he
wants to operate a fish farm" to
supply indianapolis with fish.
q hn al
which, he declares, he would give
away to anyone who would pay the
taxes. How Anne's husband dispos-
es of the property to the satisfaction
of all concerned is the part of the
story which must remain untold, ex-
cept to those who attend the show.
The cast in what Anne Brought
Home is well chosen. Edward Po-
land stands out for his remarkable
impersonation of the cranky uncle.
Erman Seavy is very good as Anne's
father and Marion Stephenson as her
mother. William Hanley, playing the
lead, gives a very ac 'cptable account
of himself in the role of Annes hus-
band. Mayo Methot as Anne. is also
pleasing. Cecil w. Secrest was true
to life as the Salesman with per-
sonality' who was continually spend
ing commissions before he received
them.
What Anne Brought Home" is
presented by Earl Carroll. 1t has
all the earmarks of a George Kelly
show but is from the pen OF Mr..
Johnson. as has been stated before.
1t will be repeated tonight and to-
morrow night with matinee tomor-
row.

"You cannot enslave a man until
after you have enslaved his mind"
DR.. Carter Woodson told a small group
OF people last week. He continued his
thought with this statement: There
are very few free Negroes in America"
And he didn't mean that we have
shackleS on our bodies either. Our
enSlaVement is due to the way we
think about ourselves. Or rather, it
is because Of the opinions we hold.
AS a matter of fact, a very small pro-
portion do any thinking at all. We
accept the predigeSted pap handed to
us by white people. This condition
doesn't obtain solely among the illit-
crate and unlearned, those who pur-
port to be scholars and leaders hold
opinions about themselves and their
race that are the conclusions of other
people. Some of them are stupid
Rough to believe they are different
from other Negroes. "They are the ezz-
ceptional Negroes and all others are
inferior" They are slaves. Of all
slaves they are the most pitiable. Their
bonds will never be broken. Their
case is hopeless. Some white man has
told them they are different and poor,
unfortunate beings that they are, they
believed it.
But there is hope for the younger
generation They must be taught the
glorious history of their race. From
the cradle up they must be inspired

with the accomplishments Of their
race. A dark skin and curly hair must
not be ridiculed but admired as the
most precious CT possessions. Their
baby eyes must behold with pleasure
the pictures of Frederick Douglass,
Crispus Attacks, Sojourner Truth,
Bookre Washington and other notable
Negroes. In their childhood they
should read the history of the Negro
while they are studying American his
tory in the schools. Studicusly, par
ents must see that their children have
the proper respect for black men and
women, so that they might be free
when they become men and women.
AS a race, we have never fully appre-
ciated the value of propaganda. We
read and accept what other people say
about us Sometimes we say it is not
true. But it is fact that what we read
affects us whether consciously or I'M
consciously. While we might publicly
deny the truthfulnesS Of certain state
ments, often, down in our hearts we
agree with what has been written. The
Fact that most Negroes are slaves is
due to the success of the white mans
propaganda. 1t is going to require a
whole Let of hard work and inceSsant
labor to offset it. And unless we busy
ourselves we are going to raise another
crop of beautiful, unsuSpecting slaves
who will damn everything that IS black
and admire everything that is white.

| Six months ago she came to Chicago
! the land of her dreams. Young vi
brant, pulsating. The thrill Of life,
the sheer joy of living coursing madly
through hre veins. On the threshold
, OF the city, she paused The pano-
rama Of the home of her dreams lay at
,, her feet She loved it all, the parks,
the busy congested streets, the smoky,
murky darkness of the manufacturing
section-a1l was her Chicago. AS she
turned from her survey of the skyline,
her eyes again lighted up. She greet
her fiance for whose sake and at whose
invitation she had left her modest home
in the southland.
Her first Sunday in the city was a
perfect" day. A song was on her lips.
Smiling, brignt-eyed, cheerful. With
all the gay, care-free 1ight-heartedness
Of youth, she wendell her way to the
church where the same minister who
preached to her down at the home
town had accepted a call. A bit aWed
by the impressive air of the uSherS in
cut-awayS and the stiff cold air Of the
attendants, she felt again at home as
the minister who had christened her
began to talk.
Eagerly she hung upon his words.
Services over, she joined the mad rush
to clasp the hand of the speaker. What
a surprise for him, she thought, he
doesn't know I'm here. At last she
reached the side of the venerable man
her town in general and her family in
particular had idolized.
"Err-Ya-a-S, Sister, what's the name?
Oh, ya-a-S, ya-a--a-aS. I think I do
remember. Sister Horn, take this young
lady in charge and tell her Of our great
Wu-u-r-rk."
Hurt beyond expression, dazed at hte
casual greeting accorded her by the
man to whom the hospitality Of her
home had always been cheerfuly given,
she stifled a sob and fled to the dreary
boarding house that she was now call
ing home. A Bible, the parting gife
Of her mother lay at her head that
evening as she gazed, wide-eyed, at
the ceiling. The voice of blues singer
broke the solemn stiffness. RaucouS,
Rasping. Grating the already unstrung
nerves Of the girl. Another. Then the
third, all playing the same strident
blues. A knock at her door. Her fl
ance came in. Eagerly she told him
her only friend and confidant in the
big city-of her horrible experience of
the day. Never you mind though.
