known as the "Aces of Syncopation, !"
is, perhaps, the best known jazz at
traction in all Europe.
In an entirely different field stands
Paul Robson, the most superbly YER
satile individual the Negro race has
produced. AS an artist he has proved
his mettle both on the stage and in
the concert hall. His magnificent
deep voice has brought down" many
house in blond, Nordic England.
His singing of Negro spirituals has
many times been characterized as
unsurpassed. While his recent tri-
umph in the Shakespearean role of
"Othello," has never been equalled
by white or black actor.
He, of all the successes in Europe,
met with more recognition in Amer
lea than any. His acting in the EN-
peror Jones" really brought him be-
fore the critical American public. His
scholastic achievements and his ath-
letic proves were the forerunners
of a brilliant career. However, It
was not until he had triumphantly
gone abroad that he won his great
est ovations.
So complete and sustained has been
his magnificent reception in England
that he has secured himself palatial
home in an exclusive London resi-
dental district where, with his
charming wife and son, he now lives.
England, if not Europe, has truly
been heaven to the great Robson.
Individual Negro actors of lesser
renown have been eminently success
full in Europe when their ability in
America has failed to make the
grade. Many have starred in various
productions over there that were not
accessible to them over here. They
have proved time and time again
that merit will win, even though it
seek foreign fields to do so.
Other sepia teams who have won
sustained success abroad, are Layton
and tombstone, whose Song and dance
specialties brought them unrivalled
popularity in London. Their pic
lures appeared frequently in the Lon
don Tattler beside that Of the Prince
OF Wales.
Josephine Hall, well known blues
singer and cabaret entertainer, was
very recently the only Negro member
of a cast that appeared in Stockholm,
Sweden. She is credited with having
given a stellar performance.
Opportunity plus ability is perhaps
the most logical reason for the ire
mendous success of Negro actors and
actresses abroad. In America, the
talent of colored theatrical stars is
well recognized but the opportunity is
not commensurate with their ability.
But in Europe the belief is that
when better entertainers are born,
they will be Negroes. So isn't Eu-
rope heaven for sepia theatrical
stars2

A young lady Of st. Louis has
talked herself into trouble.

A young lazy OF SC. LOUIS ldS
talked herself into trouble.
My dear Mrs. Jerome
Six months ago I left my home
town for the city. I was then
engaged to a young man, who
as soon a. his school was out,
was to follow me and we were to
marry. But lately he wrote me
he never wished to see me again.
1t happened this way. I wrote
to a girl friend of mine at home
that had lot of new admirers
who fancied me greatly Judging
by the way they lavished their
attentions upon me. Then the
mean girl showed my letter to my
fiance. Now, I really love no one
but him, the others I only play
with. How Shall I win his love
and respect back?
FOOLISH.
My dear, don't you know the first
law of love is reticence?
Of course, your young man Is
angry-you would be too in his posi-
ton. And don't you know you Can
never trust even your best friend
where a man in concerned? Your
good times probably made her envi-
Gus, possibly she saw that your boy
friend was behaving himself better
than you were and she thought you
didn't deserve to keep him. Per-
haps, she wanted him herself. Any
way, you got what was due you.
However, since you do love him !
believe, with little strategy, you
can win him back. Write your girl
friend how heart-broken you are;
what lesson this has taught you,
and that even il you never win your
fiance back you intend to remain

FARM BOARD CRITIC
EXPLAINS ACTION
National c. of C. Resolution
Held Blow at Only Part of
Marketing Act.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
William Butterworth, president of the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States, in a statement yesterday said
the recent criticism by the Chamber of
Farm Board policies was directed only
against zone or two sections of the
agricultural marketing act.
Butterworth's statements referred to
the action of the chamber in adopting
a resolution criticising the Farm Board.
THE chamber" he said. docs not
want to be understood as being opposed
to the interest and purposes of improv-
ing the agricultural marketing system. F."
He said that it was expressly in the
resolution that the actions of the Farm
Board were considered the outgrowth
Of the national business situation. But
terworth added that the protest of the
chamber was directed against any per-
manent Government policy in employ
ing the public funds to participate in
business in competition with established
agencies.

 Opera Theme Drunk"

Philadelphia, Jan. 8 (UP)- The Women's Christian Temper ance Union and the Philadelphia Civic Opera company. marshaled their forces today for a struggle to decide whether it was ;m- proper for children to watch a drunken man careen through the opera "Hansel and Gretcl."
 The w. N. T. L. maintained ,he intoxicated gentleman should Le eliminated because so many chil- dren and young people were viii messing the opera, which is based on fairy tale. The Civic Opera company sad nothing. but stuck to it's singing.
 T believe that no scene of drunken revelry should be per- formed before children" said Rev. Frederick W. Poole, chair man of the Philadelphia board of theater control. The opera should have been altered slightly if, as charged. a drunken man was seen on the boards in view of the ancient popular sanction of the fairy tale. However. in ,ny opinion it is ridiculous to become upset over It now"
 Poole received a copy of the resolution passed by the w. C. T. |. executive committee.
