tainment. 1t is not a revue in the
accepted term of the word. 1t dis
penses with the routine chorus of
dusky maidens, the comedians and
the sketch. In its stead there are
artists, each a specialist. a plenti-
tude of original ideas, humor in
song and dance peculiarly native,
voices that blend in spiritual har-
mony and an orchestra that raptur-
|ously expresses the soul of the Ne
gro.
Knowing the Negro as l do
states Mr.. Leslie, II know his very
soul has been crying for emancipa-
ton. The routine Negro show is
passe. The caricature has become
obnoxious. The Negro is fitted for
better things in the theatre. Even
before l produced my last Black
birds l saw the light ahead of me.
It took courage to drop the formula,
hackneyed as 1t was, because it had
spelled success to me in the past

Battling Dozier Tames
Navajo Joe Cortez

Battling Dozier, colored welter of
Wichita flung too many gloves from
too many angels for Joe Cortez,
Navajo Indian, Wednesday night at
Crystal Pool, resulting in an easy
victory for the colored scrapper.
Dozier completely baffled Cortez
with his skill and elusiveness. He
dropped Cortez for count of nine
in the first inning and took every
round of the six cantos. Dozier really
opened up in his fight with Cortez
making his previous fights with Por-
tillo and Frazer look amateurish.
The colored scrapper is a replica of
the late Tiger Flowers and is an
outstanding contender for champion
ship honors.

Alhambra Theatre Closes

NEW YORK.-Saturday morning,
the Alhsmbra Theater, at 126th st.
and 7th Ave, failed to open its doors
according to custom. Failure of the
owners to renew the lease of the

cause of the failure of the manage

This theater has been the scene of
many brilliant shows featuring col

strong rival for the patronage Of the

Race seemingly objects to the lyrics.
Letters to Miss Bailey have been

Brokers'. Comment

NEW YORK, November 20-Pending
more definite information as to what
may be accomplished at the railroad
conference, the stock market Is likely
to huctuate In a meaningless manner,
according to most brokerage house COM
mentators.
Jackson Bros, Boesel a. Co.-One
piece OF consecutive news of major i'm
orous. rally. This might logically take
the form of an announcement from
washington that emergency legislation
would be sponsored in the coming Con-
gress for aiding the railroads.
Hornblower & Weeks-With the dis
position on the part of those bullishly
inclined to await further DEVELOPMENTS
on the I. c. G. rate increase plan and
the labor question before buying stocks
again, the market at the moment lacks
any worthwhile sponsorship for a re-
sumption OF constructive operations.
Redmond & Co.-The immediate
trend OF the market is likely to be gov
erned by developments at the railroad
wage conferences now under way here.
Obviously, a voluntary and uncondi-
tional wage reduction on the part of
railway labor would be bullish factor
OF great importance, but we would be
inclined to await an official decision,
and would not put too much credence
In the many rumorS now In circulation.
E. F. Hutton g. Co.-Irrespective of
whether the market chooses to gloss
over the excellent Federal Reserve
statement, We would not minimize its
constructive implications. Pending
further rail-labor conferences, the rail
shares are expected to give a listless
exhibition, which will probably influ-
ence trading in other sections of the
share market.
Oliphant q Co.-While the first ses-
sion OF the International Committee for
investigating German debt paying ca
paclty Is expected around the end of
next week, inquiry will doubtless run
along for many weeks before generally
agreeable decisions are reached. Mean
time here at home the season is against
the possibility OF much recovery APPEAR
ing In business even should conditions
warrant 1t. On the other side of the
picture Is the market def1ation shown by
Shrinkage in broker loans for IL con-
secutlve weeks, and for all but five Of IS
weeks since March last.
Morrison & Townsend-The short side
OF the market is steadily losing its at
tract1venesS, and traders should be pre-
pared for possible rally Of some sharp
ness.
Lamborn Hutchings & Co-Well in
formed grain interests continue to view
the grain situation with favor, stating
that the technical position has again
become strengthened due to the recent
corrective reaction. Particularly in corn
is hopeful feeling entertained, based
on the theory that corn futures will be
unlikely to long disregard the decided
improvement in cash demand.

Grain Market

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 20. Grain
prices here went downward early today,
beariShly affected by Setbacks in Liver
pool quotations and by SHOWS and rains
over domestic Winter wheat territory.
Weakness of the Liverpool market was
ascribed to reports that despite frostS
and reduced acreage Argentine wheat
production this season promised to be
only little below last year and of better
quality.
Opening 1A-15s cents off, wheat af-
terward sagged further. Corn started
FL down and continued to decline.
Selling of wheat futures in large
volume developed and the market
dropped rapidly at times, with nu-
merous stop-loss orders forced into
execution. Downturns in securities ac-
tolerated the momentum of grain price
tumbleS. Meanwhile increased offer
ings of Argentine wheat to Europe
we're announced, together with word
that Australian firms we're selling dis
tant future deliveries at Liverpool.
About 212 cents bushel was clipped
from the value of wheat and cents
from corn before comparative steadi-
ness was restored. Much Of the pressure
on corn came from houses that yester-
day were conspicuous on the buying
side Of the market. Corn price set
backs were in the face of unfavorable
weather and of continued scantiness of
corn primary receipts, Asa, 900 bushels
today. against $4,000 a week ago and
TOP 900 at this time last year. Oats
receded with corn and wheat.
Provisions were responsive to the
bearish action of cereals.

The second problem confronting the

Recent Regulations.
The commercial attache said recent
attempts to stop these leaks include
regulations prohibiting the exports of

the new emergency regulation Of
November IL prohibiting:
First the sale of German securities
by foreigners and the removal of the
proceeds out Of Germany
Second, the purchase by Germans
of German securities originally issued

dollar bonds)

Miller said the third problem is the
most diff1cult of all and is concerned
with the necessity of arriving at a
workable agreement with foreign credi-
tors on two points-short-term indebt-
