you are to have something to say
about them in returni Nice, friendly

not nice thing to do, but it seems
that if some of the mud-slinging

not very nice things are going to

all sides. It's all going to end up in
plenty of trouble, if you ask me.

"RHAPSODY IN BLACK" COMING
TO T He METROPOLITAN
SOUNDS NEW THEATRICAL
NOTE IN MUSICAL REVUEs.

When Lew Leslie unfurls his
Rhapsody in Black, APPLY described
as "a symphony of blue notes and
black rhythm, starring Ethel Waters,
at the Metropolitan, Minneapolis on
Wednesday evening, January II, for
five performances, playgoers will see
a new and original note struck in be-
half of the perennial revue Origin
al in conception and execution, Leslie
has vertically taken the Negro out of
the jungle and given him his rightful
place in the theatrical sun.
The idea that has gone mot "Rhap-
sody In Black" has long fermented in
the brain of Lew Leslie, concededly
the greatest producer of Negro enter
tainment in the Broadway sector 1t
was this same Leslie who started the
colored invasion to the Great White
Way Immediately after the war.
Fully understanding the artistry of
the Negro that cries out for express
sion, he brought the first intrepid
band of colored entertainers to the
Plantation, one of the better class
night clubs in New York, where it
met with instantaneous favor, Leslie
has since introduced the theatregoer
to Dixie to broadway" and five edi-
tions of his famous "Blackbirds."
Harlem in New York owes much to
the adventurous spirit of Lew Leslie
He not only has placed the Negro en-
tertainer on new high plane, but he
has brought to the Negro revue an
inspired imagination that has kept
pace with the steady rise of the eau
casian counterpart.
Ethel Waters heads the original
New York cast of 100 singers ard
dancers which includes the celebrated
Cecil Mack Choir of 80 trained voices,
Worthy and Thompson, Kathryn Per-
ry. Avis Andrews, Ernest Whitman,
Dusty Fletcher, Blue McAllister, Flo.

OUR eoDDEFYINe MINISTER'S. :

Editor Herald:
BY god-defying, 1 mean disobeying,
ignoring, and treating with contempt
Gods teachings and commandments.
To be god-fearing, and Christian
minister, means to be Christlike, to
love, to be humble, to sacrifice, to be
of service at all times to the church
and community in which he has juris-
diction.
We probably have some of both
kinds of ministers. But l, know posi-
tive that we have some Of the god-de-
flying kind in our community, and
most all communities large or small.
In one city we read of a minister
committing adultery, with a young
girl, getting her, in trouble, and hay-
ing an Illegal operation; the girl dy-
ing. Just think; MINISTER. =
Another minister embezzles the
church funds.

pastors salary; he says that is all
