Dipping into the past, it was
on Ninth Street that Harry
Crandall laid the corner stone
of the fortune he took out of
the movie business. And Tom
Moore prospered there. The Ri
alto played to $4,000 in one
week with Rudolph Valentino in
1.-THE Sheik." While Marion Da-
vies in Little Old New York"
did such overflow business they
still talk about it.
In the Ninth Street movies
you may smoke and you can
have a double dose of feature
pictures. The U. S.. building
program is expected to divert
many new thousands to this
street daily. Mr.. Notes has but
recently taken over the Strand
and finds his new venture prof
table. That picture executive
who visions greater Ninth
Street may have the right idea.
England Looks Up
I have been accused of being
anti-English because of the fact
that up to recently I never could
see John Bull as an active COM
petitor of Hollywood.
Most of the English pictures
it was my i'll fortune to see
before the arrival of Private
Life of King Henry WIZ
were distinctly inferior. They
were second rate for recording,
generally favored farce stories
and had cheap and artificial set
tingS. To tell the truth, they
were Grade D pictures. and all
the ballyhoo in the world couldn't
make them anything else.
Then Henry VIII" came along
and the reign of Alexander Korda
Followed by catherine the Great
from the same director. Here is
achievement sure enough and from
England. It happens both pic
lures were produced by a director
who learned his business in Holly
wood but let's skip that. They
were really Grade A pictures
They offered definite indications
that England was ready to chal
lenge California for the business
Of the first run theaters.
I am delighted. If you were
obliged to look at from $50 to 20C
feature pictures annually I an
sure you would cheer too at the
mere thought of a new entry capa
BILE of turning out high class
screen entertainment. Give Hol
lywood a worthy competitor anc
the result is bound to be better
Hollywood product.
I forgot you probably haven't
seen Catherine the Great" yet
Then let me assure you the picture
which opens at RKO Keith'S to
morrow is real screen treat anc
watch Elizabeth Bergner for you
are going to hear much about hel
in the future.
Then if you still believe this de
partment is anti-English ask
Hardie Meakin to show you the
previeW notice which I gave this
German actress after her triumph
In this BritiSh-made movie.
About That death"
In Death Takes a Holiday, ,
which comes to the Earle Theatel
on Friday, you will see Evelyr
Venable playing the role o1
Gracia. It was this role which
was considered too good for Kath
arine Hepburn in the stage pro
duction of the provocative play
and Katie was bounced after ap
pearing in the Washington tryou
performance. Rose Hobart re
placed her.
Today I imagine Paramount
would have been glad to give Mis-
Hepburn 100000 to play Gracis
in the screen version of "Dcatf
Takes a Holiday" but R-K-C
would never lend their sensa
tional star. So one of the bud
ding Zukor ingenues gets this i'm

close to DR.. Motion told the Ameri-
can Negro Press, IF DR.. Moon
knew what activity was going on
here he would resign at once" VI
sitors commented upon the lack Of
warmth with which Tuskegee de-
partment heads and teachers spoke
Of their CHIEF. They perceived that
DR.. Motion was more affectionately
received outside Tuskegee than on
the campus and that many old
Tuskegeeites had never gotten us
ed to his standing in Booker T.
Washington's shoes.
The return to the school of Al
bon L. Holsey, former secretary 10
the principal, in July, to assume di-
rectlon of the campaign depart
ment, added impetus to the rumors
that DR.. Motion had resigned at the
close of the last school term.
The successor to Booker r.
Washington, however, gave no in
timation of his intention when he
left the institute for Cappahosic,
Va, his summer home.
r. R. Motion, Hampton gradu-
ate, succeeded to the prineipalship
of Tuskegee Institute upon the
death of Booker T. Washington in
1915.
Under his leadership the school
has grown to be the largest plant
controlled and stated by colored
persons In the world.
He followed closely the policies
instituted by the founder. His
technique in handling matters in
voIving white and colored persons
in the South were identical with
those of DR.. Washington. He even
sought to avoid friction and en-
courage federation and friendship
between the two races.
Advised Presidents
DR.. Motion has been the advisor
to five Presidents and has served
on several government commits
sions. His retirement viii mark
the completion of forty-five years
of service in educational work,
twenty-five of which were spent at
Hampton Institute and nearly twe-
nty at Tuskegee.
II have already passed more
than two years beyond the official
limit for retirement set by the
board for all workers at the insti-
tute,p declared DIR. Motion follow
ing announcement of his rcsigna-
ton. "I am no longer young man
and am convinced that the best in
terests of Tuskegee win be served
by my retirement" He stated that
his health had not been good for
nine months.

17.8 Of COLORED.
OPULAT|ON ON
RELIEF RECORDS

WASHINGTON-Of the 1884,
143 colored persons in the United
States, 2,117,644, or 17.s per cent
Of the total population, are depend
ing on unemployment relief made
available by the FERA in October,
1888, declared Alfred e. Smith, re-
presenting Administrator H. Hop
kins at the recent annual dinner of
the Joint Committee on National
Recovery.
The percentage contrasts with
the ratio of 9:5 for whites, and 1873
for other races.
The speaker stated that these
were the latest figures available,
but that current statistics from va
rious sections indicate that this ra-
ito is slightly higher. It was also
pointed out that only where local
resources, together with any tay
monies supplemented by the state,
are insufficient may Federal funds
be used for relief activities.
Rule Bans Discrimination
1t is int nded, as expressed in
the rules and regulations of the
FERA, he said, that "relief be CIV
en- to needy unemployed persons
without discrimination because of
race, religion, marital status, poll
teal affiliation, citizenship, or nom
citizenship, or membership IN any
special or selected group"
1.-THE administrator" continued
Mr.. Smith, wishes to assure you
that every effort will be made to
so administer the program of the
FERA during the coming months
that those persons most in need
will be the recipients of adequate
relief, designed as far as possible |
to be, corrective in nature"
