PARAMOUNT THEATRE

James Dunn looked up from mass
of figures one day. and leaning back
in a swivel chair, idly pondered the
futility of Shaving in his fathers stock
brokerage office. Heritage was all
right, but letting parents plan a
career was all wrong. Now if he were
only an actor
The embryonic thought soon bios
somed forth into a full grown idea.
James Dunn Immediately severed a
three years business connection with
his father and made Decline for the
Paramount Long Island studio where
he became motion picture extra.
Soon Dunn deserted the extra ranks
for the part of an undercover cop IN
the successful play. 'Nightstick.' Com
pleting this engagement he joined a
stock company at EngleWood, New
Jersey. Thirty-Seven weeks with this
company and the groundwork was

groomed for a histrionic career. He
then went to Winnipeg, Canada, for
another stock company job.
The proudest moment OF his life
was when John Barrymore introduced
himself on a Hollywood golf course
telling Dunn his performance in bad
Grip was the finest he had ever seen
It was not until his recent personal

BURY RATCHET is
MCDONALD PLEA AT
LAUSANNE MEETING.
British Statesman Asks French
and Germans to Com
promise Differences

| Lausanne, Switzerland, June %
! (P)-Prime Minister Ramsey MacDon-
| aid called in the French and Ger
mans Tuesday and told them if the
reparationS conference is to get any,
where they will have to bury the
Ratchet.
He was making determined effort
to prevent the conference from break
ing up without accomplishing any
thing Such a danger was threatened
Monday when Chancellor Won Papen
Of Germany told Premier Herriot of
France his country insisted upon can
collation. of reparations.
That brought the two right back
where they started, for the French
premier cannot retreat from the stand
that France will not permit cancella-
ton until she is assured of adequate
compensation for the money she
would lose if the German payments
stopped.
Long conferences between the
French and Germans Monday night
failed to better the situation which
has grown out of Germanys demand
that reparationS be cancelled ano
Frances insistence that some pay
ments must be made.
The British and Italian delegations
were sticking to their guns, however
determined the conference must not
end in failure and that some solution
must be achieved
After three hours consultation
Monday night the French and Ger
mans suspended their conversations
until Wednesday.
Count Lutz Won Krosigk. German
finance minister, announced pro-
posal for common cash box into
which Germany would pay sums when
she is financially able. This plan was
offered as substitute for the even
tual resumption of reparations pay
ments desired by France. but Premier
Herriot received the proposal with
reservations.
Afterwards, at an interview with
French newspapermen, he is under
stood to have declared the German
scheme was inadmissable and that he
could not consent to the cancellation
of reparations without adequate COM
pensation.
Germany's willingness to negotiate
a trade treaty with France Is under
stood to have been indicated by Count
Won Krosigk Tuesday in addition to
his scheme in substitution for repara-
tons.
Commenting on his country's offer,
the German chancellor said: Ger
many bases her case on two points:
First. The negative one that she can
not pay: second. the positive one that
she is ready to present concrete plans
for European recovery"

The tragic death of Lieut.. W. J.
French, a member of an old and re-
spected eolored family in Chicago,
who had served in the United States
Army for more than a score of years
as a white officer of white troops,
brought amazement to the FIR On t
pages of white daily papers all over
the country that a man of colored
blood can cross the "color line" and
live and prosper, to all intents and
purposes, as a white man. When
revelations from time to time of such
crossings" or "passings" find their
way into the daily papers, they bring
amazement, and modieum of fear,
to white readers: to colored readers,
however, these reports bring only a
knowing smile. For the number of
these instances of crossing the color
line which come to light through ae-
cident, are but small fraction of the
number which are successfully car
ried on in every section of the coun-
try, and which never come to light.
The relentless color-caste system
which is maintained by American
white people, has put high premium
upon a fair color and straight hair
among Negroes. They are the pass
port to new world, they are con-
venient hurdle over the bar sinister
of color, they offer tic their possessor
the means of fulfilling his highest
ambition, without the stigma of
black man pressing him down and
down. The entire fabric of white So
ciety, from the highest to the lowest
levels, is threaded by these instances
of voluntary mascueraders. Every
northern city is filled with them, and
they are not unknown in even the
most rabidly preiudiced sections of
the south.
Passing for white is normal and
natural reaction from the oppressive,
discriminatory restrictions exercised
by white America against people
whose only crime is being black. To
find the finest, fullest expression of
individual ambition in almost any
field, it first becomes necessary for
the colored American to climb over,
crowd under, or slip around that uni
quitous barrier of ''No colored al
lowed" For a person of fair COM
plexion, features which are not read
lily identified as Negroid, and hair of
fine texture, what could be an easier
escape from these barriers than to
cross over the color line?
For the most part, the motive for
this plotting out of racial identity
is the desire to make living or to
enjoy the full rights and privileges
of citizenship, and not, as our white
friends may believe to enjoy the
society of white people on terms OF
equality. That this is true is borne
out by the big risk taken by many
of those who have crossed over" in
order to enjoy the society of their
colored relatives and friends. And as
the struggle for existence becomes
more critical and complex from year
to year, so each year the number OF

A Parallelism

Mahstma Gandhi has been again
placed in jail and the Indian Nation
alist Party is now deemed by the
English law as an outlaw institution.
England now plans to use the mailed
fist upon a people in their own ma
tive land who are merely asking in
dependence. This savours of the at
titude toward the American colonies.
The American attitude that is now
so turned toward the aid of Europe
might well take into the considera-
ton this parallelism. India asks to
be free as america did. What is
your pleasure Uncle Sam? Will you
keep quiet and stay out of foreign
affairs, or will you dip your snout
into it as you are now doing in the
foreign finances? The Japs have ST.
fenced Mr.. Stimson's battery and the
League of Nations is being made the
object of the thumbed noses of the
Japs. Are we fer the right or are we

As a result, in every walk of

in order to rise on their merits alone.
With the constantly increasing COM

Even James Weldon Johnson, at
the height of the popularity of the
Harlem myth, was persuaded to write
history of "Black Manhattan al
though neither New York City nor
Harlem has produced a single figure
of real worth and importance in the
life of colored America. All of the
big shots in Harlem are from Georgia

sippi and South Carolina = not to
mention the West Indies and divers
islands of the "Seven Seas" But
none know anything personal and def
mite about that African jungle which
is supposed to be the background of
the Harlem myth.
The truth is that the rise of the
Harlem myth, as well as the rise of
the plantation and savage myths, are
due, to great extent, to a shrewd
unscrupulousness on the part of GER
tain greedy publishers and theatrical
promoters.
The plantation myth endeavors to
substantlate and put across the no.
tion that a colored person is created
as compliment to a mule and a pillow
and a field of cotton or corn. 1t al
ways pictures the black man as a con-
tented occupant of ramshackle hut
