Green Pastures
Is In ll!p'i!'l Says
Texas Preacher

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 2S.-"The
Green Pastures" is one of the most
plasphemous and sacriligious things
ever placed before the public and
shamefully caricatures the Lord Al
mighty, the angels, and the patri-
archs,", declared the Rev. William
M. Groom, pastor of the Ross Ave-
nue. Baptist church, Wednesday.
He called upon his congregation
and the public at large to rise as one
! man and demand that 'this outra-
geous paradox on the revealed word
of God be Immediately discontinued.
"The book" says the Rev. Groom,
represents the angels often saying
'doggone it! 1t represents God as
taking fancy to lady angel, as
smoking ten-cent cigar, and per-
forming miracle to light it; as con-
doning the murder of Abel, as say
ing to Noah, 4 don't even mind you
cussing and drinking 1t represents
a girl as saying to God, What's the
matter with your country boy? Pull
your pantsv and the same girl to
God, Amt you the old time gal
hunter?' A gambler glances up at
God, and says, Hello, Liver Lips,
looka OF Liver Lips There are from
so to 100 pages in the book that
are shameful, caricatures and the
play and book both ought to be
Kissed off the stage, and out of the
public libraries.
ut is quite true that some deans
and bishops have said the play has
considerable beauty in parts, but it
is also true that other competent
critics have called it terrible pro-
family. If the Christian people of
our great nation and city have q
scintilla of reverence for the thrice
Holy Name of their Creator and Re-
deemer, such as the fathers had.
then they will rise up and stop this
parody.

NEW YORK.-Just why is Duke
Ellington leaving the Cotton CluD?
That is the question that all Harlem
Is asking when the fact became de-
| finitely established that the king
of Jungle music would soon take
leave of the Harlem stay-up-late
"ehunes" elsewhere. just where is
he going as yet Is undecided
Rumors weird and fanciful of all
sorts of goings-on are in the wind,
but the Duke remains astutely un-
moved by the gossip being waited
about his ears. and remains silent.
Those seeking to defend the skill
of the idol of Broadwayfarers will
tell you. however. with an air of
one that Is in the "know" that the
Duke and the Cotton Club will go
their separate ways because he has
refused to accept cut in salary
for himself and his men and that
smaller organization is going In at
reduced price.
1t is generally rumored that Cab
Galloway and his Missourians will
be the favored organization. No
statement could be obtained from
the management as to the authenti-
city of either report.
VIII this mean the setting of the
Ellington sun or will he still be a
favorite of Broadwayfarers at some
other stand?
The popular dance orchestras are
usually like the fascinating stage
and cinema stars, a passing fancy.
The hero of today realizes that he
will probably take a back seat to-
morrow. There Is. as every critic
gratefully knows. such a thing as a
star for the moment. q person whom
the tickle public will worship for
a while.
1t is a puzzle, how the same
actors, musicians, artists, who are
able. that is TO say, monopolize the
front page today, by their brilliance,
grace. skill, courage. should sink
former accomplishments tomorrow.
But it is true.
Still Popular
Yet there are times when II seems
certain that Duke Ellingson and his
Cotton Club orchestra who rose from
obscurity to blazing nationwide
fame as the Washingtonians, many
years ago, will always be headliner
wherever dance music is played.
And IL there ever comes n time
when students of the musical world
get together and poll for their fav-
orite orchestra, you can expect to
see preponderant majority of them
voting for Duke.

Tommy letters Draws With Mike Critic
In Fast Bout AT Crystal Pool

Tommy LETTERS, promising young
welterweight and protege of Doc
Hamilton, fought a slashing four
round draw with hard hitting Mike
Critic, Wednesday night at Crys-
tal Pool. Tommy really had the
edge on Mike, swarming all over
the white boxer, giving him a
bloody nose and mouth in the Sec
ond round. He scored a decisive
lead in the first three rounds by
out-boxing and hitting Mike, who
staged a last round rally to win a
draw verdict from the judges. The
fans booed the decision believing
Tommy should have been given a
win. Tommy is one of the best pros
poets in this neck of the woods for
the weller title. A little more ex-
perience and he is going to be, hard
to beat. Austin and Bishop staged
the show Wednesday night to a
crowded house. Every bout on the
bill was a good one. Denny Mccall

tiers, fought four-round draw;
George Richard, heavyweight, beat
Irish Tim Derry; Cecil Geysei, well

FRISCO MeCALE

FRio(O Mc0ALE
Frisco McGale, local middle
weight, added to his long string of
victories by a win. in Portland last
week where he defeated Tommy
Pratt. He proved too educated for
Pratt and walked in with an easy
six-round verdict. 1t was bad
match for Pratt and his inexperi-
ence almost cost him a knockout.
McGale punched the youngster at
will and closed his left eye early in
the battle. Despite the heavy pun
ishment. Pratt staged a nice rally
in the last session but Frisco, who
lis one of the cleverest men of his
weight in the, country, had too much
of a margin to overcome.
If Seattle promoters are hard put
for interesting bouts they might
match McGale with Dode Bercot or
Paul Delaney.

!, Even though we admit that the
horse is fast disappearing down
the files of time, driven before the
swift advance of this machine age,
should we not remember that the
same traits which make for a good
teamster are requisite in the char
acter of the good" sectionIboss,
the good" factory superintendent,
the good" political leader? The
man who would be a brutal, un-
merciful teamster would be a bully
in local affairs, a despot in state
Or a national tyrant and in con-
sequence would never reach the
heights of craftsmanship.
1t has never been quite clear
to me upon what basis The Su-
preme Judge will divide us on the
Great Day, but l feel sure that
there will be a very special re
ward for the good transfers"
whether literally or ~figuratively
classified.
After some very special test
of strength or grit or loyalty in
his team, how often have I heard
the composite "Bill Eiten" whom
| have known, utter some profane
and vile epithet directed at his
team or at some particular horse
and there would be tears of love
and admiration in his voice, which
would bring unexplainable tears to
my eyes, because, underneath his
rough language, / could sense a
dauntless, sacrificial love which
would stop at nothing short of the
grave. Perhaps such experiences
have led me somewhat from ORTIZ
odOXy. God sees both the deed and
the circumstance. He looks into
the heart as He hears the foul
words and who can say that the
picture there may not expiate the
sin of the lips?
Young Friend, do not scorn to
be a "Bill Eiten". Many a man has
stormed the heights of greatness
with apparent success but has, in
very reality, failed because he was
not a good teamster".
What a marvellous opportunity
our country offers to some good
teamster", today.

A man was once pointed out
to me as zone of the best teams
tiers in the big woods, a team
which was then used to designate
the pineries of northern Minneso-
ia and Wisconsin. A horseman of
long standing, | at once conceived
a feeling of respect for this man.
AS | became better acquainted
with Bill Eiten, this respect grew
to admiration and love. A young
man of splendid poise and sound
judgment, he was deferred to by
all the men in the huge camp, yet
he was quiet and unassuming. A
college graduate, yet | have often
seen him, after the mediocre men
of the camp were in their hunks
for the night, out in the great
~horse-hovel, caring for the magni-
ficent beasts who served him and
whom he served. The Master has
said, LET him who would be great
est among you he as him who
SELVES. I1ClC wac q 1l1dh III
was by choice the servant Of
horses, yet he was "the best teams
ter in the big woods. He was, as
/ knew him, only a teamster but
the greatest rulers of all time
might well lay tribute at the feet
of Bill Eiten for he had mastered
the secret of leadership.
Not long ago, in conversation
with a friend, the question was
asked me, what is a good teams
ter?" | considered the good
teamsters' of the past as | have
known them and gave this def
nation-A good teamster" is one
who thinks of his horses or mules
as fe1low-workers and in conse-
quence is moved by a feeling of
sympathy to perfect cooperation
with Their. A good teamster is will
ing to suffer that his beasts may
be comfortable. 1t is true that he
should have skill, courage and
judgment, but he will speedily
gain these if he can meet the re-
quirements of the foregoing def
nation.
There are those who affirm that
the horse is of the past and to
those, this discussion of good
transfers" may seem ill-timed.
