very much aware-that the
gateway through which any
play has to pass, which is
the New York opening night,
is the false structure which
may collapse upon the en-
trance, and furthermore may
damage it irreparably. It is
for this reason that I feel so
strongly towards any organi-
zation such as this forum
which tends to cut out the
interference, let us call it,
between the actor and the
audience.
[ would like to cut out the
middle man, which is a COM
bination Of dramatic critic
and first-nighter, and come
straight to the people for
which the play is being pre-
sented, and who will finan-
cially and in every other way
support what we are doing
for it.
Enjoys Contact
My time is fairly short on
the air and I may have to
leave my radio audience to
which I am sitting down at
the microphone and stand up
and speak to my visible au-
dience. But I think I have
said enough even for our
friends on the air to make
them realize that what the
actor on the stage needs most
Of all is the direct contact
that those people for whom
he is performing, the regular,
and generally speaking any
organization which can help
to bring that about, is Of
benefit both to the theater
and the actor.
[ would like to see such an
organization in strong force
on all opening nights in New
York. And if those-any one
who is listening to me should
have an opportunity of join
ing either the forum or any
similar group which contends
to consolidate public opinion
in the theater, I hope they
will avail themselves of this
service. Thank you.

New York, because New
York is still a fair theatrical
stronghold, although even
New York, even the New
theater, has shrunk consid-
erably since I remember it.
1t is a terrible thing to
think that there are hun
dreds-I don't know the fig
ures, but certainly hundreds
of theaters throughout the
United States which most of
the time remain empty and
dark. In addition to being
empty and dark, they have
through neglect become ugly,
dirty and unattractive. And
so when you try to appeal
to people to support this in
stitution, those Of the newer
generation who are accus-
toned to the splendid COM
fort and comparative cleanli-
ness of motion picture thea
ters, reply with some right,
swell, look at them" And
their answer in many cases
is: "Why all this bother
about the theater; let it die;
who wants it?"
Hope for Stage
Now, it might be said:
What am I doing, pleading
for the strength and nourish-
ment Of this great institu-
tion? Because, as you know,
it is very much easier for the
average actor to gain him
self a living and a pleasant
occupation, comparatively,
without the torture Of nerv-
GUS strain which the theater
carries with it if he goes to
Hollywood; and, of course,
we must in respect to the
fact that nine out of ten Of
our profession, who get suf-
ficient opportunity and in
ducement, do go to Holly
wood, and what is worse, do
stay there.
There are a number of us
who persist in returning to
what I must call the only
medium Of acting, because it
cannot be truly said that the
screen is an actors medium.
1t is every other kind of
medium except that. So that
way, we who go through this
kind of third-degree which
eliminates in the opening
night of New York may
truly be said to be putting
our heads into the lions
mouth when there are other
easier channels open to us,
because 1 would like to take
the opportunity of saying
this, and I am one who as a
rule has had cause to be very
thankful to New YoYk, and
to whom opening nights have
contained considerable sue
eesses.

CENSUS BUREAU
PUBLICATION

WASHINGTON CAMP - How
the Negro population has shifted
during the hslf-eentury, from 1880
to 1880 is Indicated in the recent
figures released for publication by
the United States Brreau Of Cen
sus here this week, which shows
that New York City ana Chicago
have had the most phenomenal in
crease of the fifty principal cities
of the country.
From 1880 to 1920 Washington
had the largest Negro population
of any of the principal cities with
New Orleans, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, and Richmond the runners
up, and with New York City en-
tering the coveted circle in 1910
gaining second place. In 1910
Washington led with "a ,446 with
New York City the runn-erup with
81, TOO, representing an increase of
some 10000 over the 1910 census
figures.
With the war came a drastic
shift in the population and Wash
ington was pushed out of first po-
sition by New York City with a
high of 1872, 46T and Philadelphia
rising to second place with 1874, zz9
and Washington sinking to third
place with 109,966.
Chicago that for 80 years had
languished in twenty-second place
made the greatest progress in the
two decades between 1910 and
1890 With a small population of
A, 103 in 1910, the census Of 1920
showed that Chicago had gained
in population to such extent that
it had risen from twent y-second in
the rating to almost a virtual tie
with Washington, having a popu-
lation of 100, 458 and 1880 found
the midwest metropolis second to
New York City with 233,903 fol-
lowed by Philadelphia with PIG, 599
population, Baltimore with 142, 100
and Washington, the leader for so
long, fifth with 132,O68.
One of the interesting points in
the report was the little change
made in the population of Charles
ton, sc. This southern seaport
the scene of many ante-bellum le-
gends in 1880 had a Negro popula-
ton of 1876 and according to the
1880 census the population was
2S,062, representing only a small
increase. Other southern cities of
