Ernest E. just reflects considerable
glory on Negroes in general, and that
is because he is one of them. He is
one of the few whose importance ex-
tends beyond the boundaries OF race
into the extensive fields Of humanity.
He is not simply a Negro zoologist;
he is an important American zoolo-
gist. His contributions to scientific
journals on the physiology OF devel-
opme,it are of inestimable value to
the white world as we'll as to the
black.
Tuskegee Institute is the most i'm
portant school of its kind anywhere,
and any man who heads it becomes
by that fact, important, whether he
be mediocre o. great. DR.. Motion has
shown himself to be fully qualified
for his task. He is more important,
however, as spokesman for Negroes
of America than as principal OF Tus-
kegee.
Since the publication of his What
the Negro Thinks" he has been more
and more frequently quoted as rep
lresenting the most progressively in
| tellectual Negroes as well as the
hordeS in Dixie. That is nonsense,
of course. The fact that he has been
elevated to universal leadership by
his good white friends. however, does
not in the least lessen his impor-
lance.
A. Philip Randolph achieved the
herculean task of organizing several
thousand workers into the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters and
getting them recognized by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. He thus
becomes the man who holds the con-
fidence of more Negro toilerS than
anybody else in the country. Being
man of strong personality and well
developed oratorical gifts. Randolph
is influential among other persons
than those who Immediately follow
him. His position among Aframericans
is undoubtedly one OF real impor-
lance.
1t is significant that the man who
has done most to make books by and
about the Negro available to the
black man is himself Negro. Ar
thur A. Schomburg's splendid col
lection of books and pamphlets,
brought together over many years,
was bought by the New York Public
Library and placed in the 135th ST.
branch in Harlem. Mr.. Schomburg
has read all these books. and can re-
late their contents: but this fact is
not so important as the fact that his
unusual talent has made it possible
for everybody else to read them.
Carter G.. Woodson and Monroe N.
Work are the most important OF our
historians. DR.. Woodson in his series
of works on the Negro in America
has furnished data that are essential
to an accurate knowledge Of the black
man in the early days of the repub-
Ilic. He has done more than that.
AS every Negro writer knows. there
is a wealth of stuff that white pub

consists chiefly in editing the Negro

ed a white woman, Desdemona, ev-
erything was changed, just as New
York would be indignant if their
coloured man married white
woman.
"Above everything else, Othello is
very fine character, calling for very
deep feeling in an actor. He was a
noble type and, if I may say SO, a
typically Negro type. You must have
fine vocal qualities to express the
emotions of Othello well, and I shall
play the part with all the rhythm
and intensity of which I am capable.

other man who has ever played
Othello, and have tried to learn
something from each. 1t is interesF-
ing to note, by the way, that Ira
Aldridge, a famous Negro actor,
played the part over fifty years ago.
He played, too, such great characters
as Macbeth and Sbylock as well as
they have ever been done"

"At my school in Somerville, a
few miles from New York, was one
of four or five Negro boys in crowd
OF white boys. There was no racial
feeling-that sort of thing is chiefly
confined to the Southland I was
popular with the teachers as well as
with the other youngsters.
'T was lucky at that time (Robeson
went on) in meeting lady teacher
who really understood Shakespeare.
We went through his plays together,
and I learned to love them. Then, OF
course, when we produced Otheilo
at school I, as a cnloured boy, natur-
ally got the part.
cat that time, of course, I had no
idea of ever going on the stage, for
1 was studying for the law. I did not
realise that few years later I should
be invited to play part of which I
had made almost life study.
However, that is now the position,
and the interesting problem arises =
did Shakespeare intend Othello to he
Negro or Moor? There are, OF
course, two distinct schools Of thought
on the subject, and it is possible to
produce a convincing argument tor
either side. 1t is possible to prove
from the text that Othello was a
Negro, but the same arguments apply
to Moor. If, of course, Shakespeare
intended definitely to write of Moor,
then I am not the man for the part.
"This, however, I consider doubtful.
Anyway, the Moor is chiefly of Negro
extraction. ANY expert who has
studied Moorish music, for instance,
will tell you that it is closely related
to Negro music.
The Colour Bar
"In any case, feel sure that Shakes
speare merely wanted to draw a
character as far removed as possible
from a white woman. He was prob
ably the first man ever to refer to
what is known to-day as the colour
bar
"Othello in the Venice Of that time
was in practically the same position
as a coloured man In America to-day
He was a general, and while he
could be valuable as fighter he was
tolerated, just as Negro who could
save New York from disaster would

volume that purports to contain the
title of every book. pamphlet, and
other manuscript bearing on the Ne.

As I have already said, there are
more than thirteen important Ne
groes in the United States. AS
matter of fact. we shall not know
precisely how many there are until
thl figures of the recent census are
made public. The total number OF
Negroes credited to us by the United
States census will be the total num-

Since then he has been on Con-
tinental tour, and every city he has
visited has, to use the jargon usually
applied to boxers, gone Robson mad!
This big, brilliant Negro, who intend
ed to be a lawyer, has such a per-
sonality that wherever he goes he
attracts thousands of admirers. Yet
to-day he is the same quiet man who
came over comparatively unknown
a few years ago.
Now Robson has a great task be-
fore him. Maurice Brown, the man
who staked his last penny to put on
Journeys End" is to present him in
the character of othello. 1t is an
enormous risk for both actor and
producer, for while Robson stands to
injure his wonderful reputation
Brown may lose a great deal OF
money. AS a matter of fact, Robson
has long considered the idea Of play
ing Othello, for the suggestion YVES
made to him in New York. II did not
then consider that I was capable OF
It," he told me.
We were seated in the library OF
his beautiful home. The walls,
stacked to the ceiling with books on
q Thousand subjects, threw back his
words, for when he speaks his voice
fills the room.

ITO me-" he went on, "the works
of Shakespeare reflect the very spirit
of the English people. I have studied
him closely since was boy of fif-
teen, and still am striving to learn
more.

SANDWICHES are delicious for re-
freshments at any hour. They are
delicious, likewise, for luncheon. If
you would like to enlarge your knowl-
edge Of good sandwich filings, try some
Of these recipes, and see II you don't
like them:
Lettuce and Mayonnaise Sandwich.
Two slices Of white bread. Wash
thoroughly the lettuce. Place between
the prepared bread and add mayon-
naise to taste.
Dutch Sandwich.-Cut very thinly
| the required number of slices OF smoked
ham sausage. Butter some thinly cut
slices Of brown or white bread. spread
over each q little French mustard, and
then add a layer Of thinly sliced CHER
| kins. Lay. the slices of sausage be.
tween each two slices Of buttered bread
Pickle.-To q half cupful Of mayon-
naiSe add . heaping tablespoonful OF
any good chopped pickle, preferably one
| containing some onion. Mix thoroughly
and spread on slightly buttered slices
Of bread and make into sandwiches. II
you like, you may put little lettuce
between the slices of bread. This is a
good way to dispose of little amounts
of chopped pickle; also a simple way
to make excellent refreshnent sand
witches in very short time.
Strawberry and Cheese.-Cut slices
Of white bread and toast on one side
Cut the pieces in squares about two
inches across and spread the toasted
side with stiff whipped cream. Now tc
half Of the squares add a spread OF

gether, cream sides in.

chopped chives and press together.
| Swiss Cheese.-Have thin slices Of
Swiss cheese. Just before you wish tc
serve the sandwiches make nice, crisp
pieces Of white bread toast Butter and
form into sandwiches with Swiss cheese
lightly spread with mustard. You will
find this toothsome departure from
the ordinary Swiss cheese sandwich.
Celery.-Chop celery, mix with may
onnaise, and spead between slices Of
buttered whole-wheat bread.
| Cucumber.-Chop fil1e one cucumber
one-half onion and one pimiento. Miz
