BOURGEOIS NEGRO
JUDGE ENDORSES
NY. JIM CROWISM
Upholds Landlord Who
Barred Negroes
from Elevator

NEW YORK, (CNA) Dogs get
preference over Negroes in the ele-
vatorS of lot of ritzy and near
ritzy New York apartments, and
that's o. K. with Judge Charles e.
Toneq, bourgeois Negro of the tenth
district municipal court, who has put
his seal of judicial approval on the
whole business.
The case Judge Toney had to
decide was that of Donald Henderson,
white, who had been living at so w.
106th Street. Henderson is secretary
of the National Studens League and
was prominent in the recent student
strike at Columbia University.
A number of Negro students and
personal friends came to see Hender-
son at his apartment. They were
denied the use of the elevators by
the landlord and forced to walk up
the back way, Henderson first pro-
tested and then to moved to another
apartment where his friends could
get to see him without being sorted
out first by the landlord. The land
lord sued, claiming the lease had
been broken and that he had a right
to keep Negroes out of the elevator
if he wished,
The case came up before Judge
Toney, one of the two bourgeois Ne
gro judges in New York and a Tam
many man, The landlord was right,
Judge Toney decided.
J. Meerbaum, attorney for the
International Labor Defense. who
defended Henderson, pointed out that
this decision sets a precedent for all
New York landlords who want to run
their elevators for whites and dogs
only.

last week in the Youngstown Car

work for few minutes after the
wage cut announcement and after
listening to fiery speech Of a nom

would willingly fight, "but who will

BEER PARADE IN
EFFORTTO ARREST
FIGHT ON HUNGER

NEW YORK, May Thousands
marched through the principal streets
OF New York yesterday in a beer
parade the elimination of weeks of
ballyhooing by the capitalist press
and mobilization by Tammany Hall.
Dozens OF bands played drinking
songs, intermingled with patriotic
airs. Expensive auto floats decorated
with bizzare signs rolled down Fifth
Avenue for hours-from eleven in
the morning until eleven at night.
Tammany Mayor in Lead
Jimmy Walker, Tammany's Broad
way butterfly mayor, was performing
his usual antics in the front lines of
the parade, trying to forget the graft
probe Of his administration, and how
he will explain mysterious bank bal
ance and other shady things.
So anxious we're the bosses to make
a success of the beer parade" that
many of the biggest places forced
their workers to march. The labor
takers of the A. F. of L. were lined
up and did their part to get a crowd
in the line of march. In a number
OF instances officials like those of
Millinery Workers Local No. forced
their members to march under pen
atty of losing their jobs or chances
TO get work.
Try to Fool Workers
Pretending to be in favor of doing
away with prohibition, although
thousands of its principal henchmen
are bootleggers, dope peddlers, beer
runners who thrive because of pro-
hibition, the Tammany gang con-
nected up unemployment with the
demand for beer. Sings were carried
saying: Bring back beer and pros
perity." Others said: Beer will
make prosperity"
Republican politicians also partic-
ipated in this parade and marched
side by side with such fascist organi-
cations as the Sons Of Italy," the
Polish fascist organizatins and with
various Roman Catholic groups COM
posed of foreign-born. In Harlem,
the Negro capitalist elements were
modified by the republican organi-
cation, but few Negro workers par
ticipated in the march.
This performance was an attempt
to deceive workers Who facing in
creasing mass unemployment ana the
resultant starvation, misery, disease
and DEATH are showing in action a
determination to fight against en-
forced starvation. It was an attempt
to make workers believe that the
crisis is due to the absence of laws
legaliZing beer with a large alcoholic
content. Such people ar silent about
about tn crisis affecting countries
where there is no prohibition.
Finally it is quite evident that the
Tammany and Republican politicians
don't want to do away with the pro-
hibition laws because they get a good
graft out of things as they are.

Their Studio Work.

CTAGE fright is commonly associated
with work behind the footlights,
but some screen people are affected by
it, This has been partly explained by
the fact that most of the celluloid
thespians have appeared on the stage
at some time or other before appearing
in pictures and have never gotten COM
pletely over the fear of facing an audi
ence.
Nancy Carroll, who is featured in
''Wayward," the Metropolitan Theater's
picture this week, Is not frightened as
much as she Is worried that the take"
will not be good. She understands
that every "shot" that must be taken
over means loss To the company, and
she would like to save it If she can.
Richard Arlen is. an active, outdoor
fellow His only fear before the camera
is that the instrument will not respect
his exuberance Arlen goes over the
script of a play very carefully and
studies every bit of action in 1t. BY
doing that, he feels equal to any situ-
alton in it, and is not afraid that any
wrong move on his part will destroy a
take" But the pep" bugaboo is al
ways before him.
Twenty-nine years on the stage and
in pictures have given Pauline Fred
erick a firm grip on herself She feels
a minimum OF stage fright, even in the
most trying Of dramatic situations She
has calmness to spare and her attitude
toward the camera helps the other
players to adjust themselves and to
feel ct home.

Shadows on Sand"

MAKING movies today is Writing
A'A in shadows on sand" so asserts
D. w. Grifith, in an Associated Press
interview.
The dean of directors says he is
planning an attempt to make the pub
lie forget his last directorial effort
Now in New York, he is preparing for
a Summer of studio activity there or
on the West Coast
"The movies were never more in their
infancy than they are today" he says.
I'VE have started all over again with
talking pictures. 1t took us years to
achieve a satisfactory technique with
silent films. 1t will take time to deter
mine just what we had better do with
sound
art" says Griffith, has the quality
of permanence. The dramas of the
ancient Greeks and some of the plays
being written now; the paintings of the
masters; fine novels and poetry-all of
them are lasting. The movies have
produced nothing that could be called
enduring But they will some day, un-
doubtedly.
II have in mind couple of pictures /
would enjoy making but they would
not be box Office pictures. Perhaps I
shall make one picture this Summer
with wide popular appeal to get money
to do what I want to later on"
Grifith laughs about his financial
ups and downs" There has been some
talk of his remaking Broken Blossoms
with dialogue. He says if he does the
production will be an entirely new one,
as he believes it futile to try sound
synchonization experiments with old
films Such an experiment was at
tempted with "The Birth of Nation"
THE outcome was disappointing, but
I had nothing to do with that There
are certain mechanical considerations
which render the procedure hopeless"

Back TO Nature.

IN THE Blonde Captive the Columbia
picture showing Friday, May 20, at
Warmers Metropolitan, there is screened
the surprising discovery Of white girl
who is living a primitive back-to-nature
life among living descendants OF the
oldest living race, the Neanderthal man
of SO, 900 years ago. DR.. Paul q. WITH
ington of Harvard and the University
of Hawaii found the white captive, 1t
is claimed, as a climax to his 10000
mile expedition in search of a living
replica of the bust of the Neanderthal
man that stands in the Museum Of
Natural History IN New York City. He
also learned much Of the ways OF the
primitive men and women OF the wild
Australian waStelands. For instance,
he shows the headdreSs that disttn-
guishes the widows in the tribe. A mud
marcel, one might call it, for the widow
takes strands of her hair and cakes 1t
with mud. The period of her mourn
ing lasts until her hair grows to nor
NAL length and the mud falls Off Not
until then may she consider matrimony
again. Scars on the shoulders OF women
also denote widowhood. When a widow
marrieS again she crops her hair close
and makes 1t into q belt which Is turned
over to her next husband to wear.
THE Blonde Captive" not only shows
other interesting primitive customs, but
queer animals and exciting adventures.
The picture was produced by Northern
Australia Expedition Syndicate under
the auspices of the National Research
Council of Australia.

NATIONAL-"Tiger Rose"

TINE National Theater Players to-
morrow night will revive Will
lard Mack's melodrama of the
i the great Northwest, Tiger
Rose" First produced by David
Belasco, "Tiger Rose" brought Lenore
Ulrich to stardom Willard Mack played
a role in the original company, as did
william Courtleigh and Pedro de Cor
doba.
Not since the original company played
Washington, many years ago, have ma
tive theatergoers seen this play. Just
before his death, last year, Mr.. Belasco
expressed an intention to revive the
play, and for this reason prevented any
other producer from having the script.
The National Theater Players have the
honor of being the first to get repertory
rights. Later the play will be done in
the movies.
The action of the play takes place in
Canada, in a Hudson Bay trading post.
Indians, French Canadians, Scotch and
Irish all give the drama cosmopolitan
flavor. The Northwest Mounted, Can
ada's famous police force, figures prom
inently in the play. The central char
acter, Rose, will be played by Leona
Powers, and the part is admirably suit
ed to her. Clifford Brooke. directing the
players, has had access to the Belasco
book Of directions, and the play will be
staged here exactly as it was given at
the beginning Of this century.
