Lafayette Players
Score Big Hit
In Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Cal.-With num-
bers of the elite of local colored
society present and many of Holly
woods stars and white social high
lights present, the famous Lafayette
Players returned in a gala premiere
last Friday night. 1t really looked
like old times when the players were
making their first 42-week run.
"Kongo" was the opening vehicle
and this powerful drama of tragedy
and superstition made famous by
Lon CLANCY as the star, never was
better interpreted by him and his
supporting cast. Lawrence Criner,
who has played many outstanding
heavy roles, was at his best as the
powerful, wealthy, cruel ruler of an
ivory trading post.
Evelyn Preer, lauded by the daily
press, was Annie, long-lost and deep-
ly hated daughter of Flint. She rose
TO as great dramatic and emotional
heights as she ever did in her whole
career. Edward Thompson, her hus-
band, played DR.. Kingsland, while
Edna Barr, seen for the first time
by most of the local theater goers,
was a revelation to all as LII Min,
the native mistress of Deadlegs.
Other members of the cast did
themselves proud and received round
after round of applause for their
excellent work. They are Laura
Bowman, Charles Olden, Arthur
Ray, Ralph Fitzgerald, Cliff Ingra-
ham, Calanthe Upshaw, Thaddeus
Jones, George Basset.

Hollywood Whites Hire
Colored Servants

LOS ANGELES. - Following the
Lindbergh baby tragedy there has
been unmarked tendency on the part
of wealthy Hollywood parents to re-
vert to the former general policy of
employing colored nurses and per-
sonal maids. 1t has been the fad
among them for some time to EN-
ploy Europeans and Orientals for
maids and Wallets.
There have been a number of
attempted kidnapings thwarted by
colored servants before and since
the Lindbergh case, most sensational
of which was the race from and
outwitting of a carload of alleged
kidnapers of J. w. Weaver, armed
bodyguard of Dobie Young, son of
Harry Carey, famous movie star.

Standard Oil Places
Second Colored Crew

NEWARK, N. 1.-The Standard
Oil Company, which three months
ago placed a colored crew in sole
charge of one of its gas stations in
Newark, has decided to extend the
experiment and open a station in
Atlantic City.
Such is the information given out
by the New York office to DR.. Lloyd
Granger and Lester Granger, the
men responsible for getting the com
pany to establish the Newark sta
ton. 1t also is reported that the
business of the station has increased
since the colored crew took charge.
However, Negroes should give great
err support to this new plan than
they have in the past. 1t is doubtful
if its success could have been really
possible had it depended entirely
on colored support While many Ne
groes have made it a point to buy
their gas at this station, others have
neglected to do so. Perhaps it is
because the location Of the gas sta
ton is not well known.
At present there are five men
The opening of the At
lantic City station will give work to
five or six more. The continued
success of the idea will go a long
way toward taking up the slack in
during this crisis.

SAP STAIN ELIMINATED
IN PAPER PULP PROCESS
Experiment Station at Savannah,
Ga, Finds Method of Avoiding
Problem in Pine.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
wAYCROSS, Ga, September 6.-Dr.
Charles H. Herty, head of the paper
pulp experiment station at Savannah
Ca, yesterday announced the discovery
of a possible means Of eliminating sap
stain, popularity known as blue STAIN
from pine paper pulp.
DR.. Herty, addressing a Labor day
gathering near here, said the method
of using the pine log Immediately after
the tree is cut produces pulp Ere
markably white and practically as
white as the finished product of the
paper pulp mills" This method, he
continued, eliminates or substantially
decreases the process of bleaching.
He explained that the discovery was
made by putting the green log through
the pulping process before the sap stain
which is produced by fungus, has had
time to become attached to the log.
The cost of seasoning will be elimi-
mated, DR.. Herty said, the timber owner
delivering his logs to the paper pulp
mill the same day the trees are cut. He
added that the sap stain has been a
costly problem, being prevented only by
the highly expensive process Of kiln OF
other drying.

Among the many things that have

Prosperity Is One Goal.
