Mr.. Smith is credited with being
mainly responsible for erection of

favor with the committee appointed
by Mayor Paonessa but was rejected

Crystal Pool. The bout will be
staged by Druxman and Waterman
and is billed for the junior welter-

now Smell came to dispute any claims
that Wills might have on the Coast

appearances a Play
Everyone Should See

Realism that grips the audience Is
the keynote of Appearances" {
three-act comedy drama at the Met
ropolitan Theatre this week. The
author of the; play is Garland Ander.
son, a Negro who was formerly 3
bell boy in San Francisco.
Appearances" undertakes to show
that truth will always triumph and
demonstrates the power Of the mind
to overcome evil. Appearances" is
probably as perfect title as mortal
man could have conceived in a life
time of concentration on the subject.
However, Garland Anderson, the
author, did not devote even half a
lifetime to naming his play for he Is
SUI young man--young enough, in
| fact, so that this is the first play
from his, typewriter to reach the prSos
fessional stage. 1t is also the first
drama by Negro writer to be pro-
duced on the American stage. ri
appearances" is an unusual play
but the story is not unfamiliar to
colored people. They are well ac-
quainted with all incidents depicted
in the story. To them it is not APP
nearances-it is real, everyday life
in America.
Three of the characters portrayed
are Negroes and one of them Is
played by Negro, Doe Doe Green.
He plays the part of Rufus Jones.
No excuses for Mr.. Green. He is an
artist, His acting is perfect, al
though he has one of the most diff
cult parts in the show.
This article is not written to de-
scribe the show. It would take too
much space to do that. Sufficient to
say Appearances" is play that will |
DO much to lessen racial hatred in
America. It also demonstrates that
in every crisis there will be found
men and women who will demand /
square deal for their fellow man
despite racial differences. Every.
person, in Seattle should see GAP
pearances." The engagement at the
metropolitan Theatre ends Saturday
night.

Because of his, height and reach. he
has a big advantage over other fieht-
