Dear Ray
Here goes another slam or
should | say declaration Of rights
As far back as | could remember
there were movie theatres in
North Omaha. Remember the
old Diamond, alias the Omar
alias the Franklin" Remem-
Der the "Alahambra' and that
grand old barn the Loyal" All
gone. From the Wondering
wrecks of those old amusement
houses there arose a magnificent
building supported by its every
loyal patrons, dark Omaha"
The colored man, seeking a.
musement, chose this theatre. OF
course we get our moneys
worth, but in times Of depression
when mems wages are being cut
and very little can be spent for
necessities and recreation, would
not it be called gratitude for the
manager Of Omaha Little Har-
lens theatre to reduce the price
OF admittance from twenty-five
cents and fifteen cents to twenty
and ten cents? If that manager
doesn't desire to cut said rates. |
would suggest that he employ
colored to assist him in his bust
ness. Or he may promote con
tests to develope and find talent
IN this race. He may encourage
them and influence other promot-
RS to give them a N'break," Just
2 suggestion to act on, now.
| remain,

"A car comes to a grinding stop
deliberately in front of the fire
plug outside my door. There are
only two men that | know who
would commit this bold encrOach-
ment on the Law. These two men
climb out of the car and lumber
up the street. Both are tall and
heavy set. One audibly sucks a
tooth pick which protrudes be-

The other stalks along-the very
epitome Of a guardian Of the law.

pitlfully, quivers in every bolt,

yields up the ghost in the middle
OF the street car track. A very
stout gentleman squeezes out the
one small door with a crank in
his hand. He walks to the front
OF the ear and begins to restore
some spark of life to his ancient
vehicle. At last he seems to have
struck a responsive chord. The
back end gives a sudden lurch,
cataclysms Of shudders seize the
whole chassis, the stout gentleman
wipes his brow and squeezes his
bulk under the small steering
wheel once more. With one grand
concerted effort, the car begins to
creep away amidst the discordant
clang Of a stalled Street Car and
the scornful honkings Of other
automobiles that are showing
