LANSING Trower Studied Life of a Fireman
From Boyhood; Dream Realized as
'Fire-eater' With D. c. Department

AS a boy in Norfolk, Lansing
Warrenton Trower spent all his
spare time around the fire house,
watching the big engines and wish
ing that some day he might lead
the exciting life Of fireman.
And hts boyhood dream was
realized when he came to Wash
ington and was appointed to the
District Fire Department, where
for is years he rendered valiant
service and rose to the rank Of
acting captain.
Then in 1921 he was injured in
line of duty and forced to retire.
But he still loved the life, and
was appointed as dispatcher in
the Fire Alarm Headquarters in
the District Building.
In this position he transmitted
orders to companies as alarms
came in, and recalls the most i'm
portant order he ever sent out was
in 1929 when the alarm came in
from the White House and he
rushed the apparatus there.
The worst fire he recalls fight
ing was the flour and feed ware
house blaze in January, 1914,
when the firemen were handi-
capped by freezing weather and by
the fumes from the baled hay
which burned for a week before
it was finally put under control.

Swimming Pool
Opened to Negro
Boys By HarpOle
TWENTY YEAR BARRIER
REMOVED
PREJUDICE BROKEN DOWN

Through the efforts of Mr.. Els
worth H. Harpole, Athletic Direc-
tor Of the Halle @. Brown Com
munity House, working with GER
tain individuals of influence, no
tably, Mr.. o. c. Hall, a swimming
hour for Negro boys has been Sc
cured at the Y. M. C. A. in st.
Paul. Their first meet was Satur-
day, March z, when twelve boys Sc
lected by Harpole went down for
their first time. Harpole selected
boys who he felt were worthy of
enjoying this privilege since con-
tinuance of this activity will de-
pend on attitude and conduct.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1936-03-13

He is the first colored man in
the history of st. Paul to be Sc
lected as one of the officials of
the city league. Since the middle
of January, Harpole has held
one of the referee positions of that
league which extends through the
current season. He also placed two
teams in the city league in st. Paul
One senior and one junior, and
four teams m the city basketball
league-one being composed en-
tirely of white boys in the Gopher
League.
Harpole is a graduate of the
University of Minnesota where he
played three seasons of football,
and is now attending the "U"
working on his Masters degree.
At West Virginia State College
during the season of 1895, where
he was Athletic Director, he estab-
ished the first fencing class ever
to be held in Negro colleges. He
has attempted to give the young
people of st. Paul the benefit of
his fencing knowledge by organic
ing class in fencing for girls at
the Halle @. To date sixteen girls
have taken advantage of this class
and are progressing rapidly in the
art. ...
St. Paul can be proud to have
in it's midst a man like Harpole
who is well known by city officials
in the field of physical education.
During the first week in April
of 1886, Harpole will give a bean
feed for all the boys who have been
in his classes and worked with him
since he has been at Halle @. He
will secure several prominent
speakers in the athletic world in
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1936-03-13

Those attending were very en-
thusiastic and are looking forward
to this Saturday when they meet
again. For twenty years, citizens
of st. Paul have been trying to
get a class at the "Y" for Negro
boys, but to no avail; consequent
ly, this will go down as a major
achievement for one who has been
in our community. such a short
time.
This is only one of the things
that Mr.. Harpole has accomplished
in the athletic world since coming
to the Halle Q. Brown as Athletic
Director. He has received an en-
thusiastic response from the young
people in st. Paul-both white and
colored, the Parks and Fairgrounds
Department, and other community
houses.

About a Popular
Actor and Others
By DE-VELMA STRONG

Ted Lewis is the only actor I
know who has the courage to take
mixed company of whites, a
number of them-women-andN Ne
groes through the South. His
company travelled and performed
in Memphis, Chattanooga, Nash
vile, and other southern cities, in
GLIDING jaunt through the State
of Texas. There was never any of
the usual prejudices or discrimina-
tons shown and the play was re-
ceived everywhere on it's merits.
Ted and his company will short
ly fill a three months engagement
at the Terrace Gardens in the Hotel
Morrison, in Chicago, after which
Observation-Disclosures a second pic
ture will be filmed. The first pic
ture is that now famous screen
production "Here Comes the Band"
Real Name
Ted Lewis real name is Theo-
dore Friedman. His home was in
Circleville, Ohio, where, at the age
of nine, he began working in a
music store demonstrating instru-
ments.
His stage career-now in it's 23d
year, began when he directed a
four piece orchestra known as Ted
Lewis Jazz Band. Mr.. Lewis has
always included colored performers
in his shows, and, in fact, to this
day refuses to show without one or
more of the group in his cast.
Charlie Whittier
Charlie Whittier has been with
Ted Lewis II years, and their
Shadow Act" has become one of
the stage classics. Rumor has it
that Ted Lewis has adopted
Charlie. AS usual with rumor this
is untrue. It is true, however, that
Charlie gets all the consideration
and help from Ted that any son
might ask. His social activities are
carefully supervised by his bene-
factor, and every assistance given
to aid in his chosen profession OF
the stage. A year ago Charlie left
Chicago to make his home with
his mother in Los Angeles where
he has purchased for her a home
and provides fully for her support
Others in the Cast
Sam Shapiro, base violinist, as
sistant director, states that Mr.
Whittier is an outstanding show.
