Three years Of assimilating edu-
cation and Stepin rebelled. A trav-
cling carnival show caught his
fancy and the thought of school
was put away for the open road.
1t was the Rueben and Cherry Car
nival company and he got n job
with them through his tap dancing.
an inborn heritage of most colored
people. 1t was his first experience
in show business and he liked it.
After remaining the show for
several years he left to assume the
post of 'head man" Of a planta-
ton show with another carnival.
At night, he worked with the show;
in the afternoon he tried to pick
winning horses that raced with the
fair. One day he bet his clothes
against $50 on "Stepin' Fetchit,"
a dark horse that came through.
To show his gratitude he wrote a
song, which never was published.
His next experience was with a
medicine show in which he was sole
entertainer. This tired him and he
bought a shoe blackng box and
went into the shoe shining business.
His knees began to bother him and
he again went back to show bust
ness. He teamed with another fell
low and remembering his horse,
called the duo, Step and Fetchit. He
played vaudeville and his peculiar
iaziness and dancing soon made
him popular with theatregoers.
When he played Los Angeles he
went to the studios and was hired
for a role in TN Old Kentucky
which started him on the road to
screen fame.
After his present tour of personel
appearances, he will return to the
goth Century Fox Studios to re-
sumo his picture work.
The screen attraction with the
Ted Mack Stage Show is Warner
Brothers giant musical, 1.-THE Sing
ing Marine" starring Dick Powell.

Stepin' Fetchit, Hollywood's
slowest motion and the man who
made a million dollars out Of "Doin'
Nothing" will appear in person at
the Orpheum theatre for one week
starting Friday with the Ted
Mack's "Trocadero Revue" on the
stage.
Stepin' Fetchit acquired his name
from a horse, his training in show
business from a carnival, his spare
money from shining shoes, and his
peent fame from the hilarious work
he has contributed to many mo-
ton picture successes.
One of the ost colorful characters
to attain film fame, Stepin' began
life as Lincoln Perry III Key West
Florida, on May 30, 1902. He was
the typical little pickanniny till he
was adopted by a wealthy colored
woman, when he was II years old,
and reared in her home. When he
reached a suitable age he was sent
to st. Joseph's college at Mont
gomery, Ala.

An~ti-LynchingB Bill
Sec0nd on Roll
Of '38 Session

Washington, Aug. 19-After
deadlocking the Senate and throw
ing the closing days of Congress
into a panic, the supporters of the
Wagner-Van Mugs anti-lynching
bill agreed to a proposal made by
Senate leaders that the bill be set
down definitely on the Senate cal
endar for action in the next ses-
sion after the farm bill.
Action on the anti lynching bill
will be taken either at the regu-
lar session beginning next January
or at the special session sometime
in the fall, if a special session
should be called.
The resolution making the anti
lynching bill the unfinished bust
ness of the Senate was proposed
by Majority Leader Alben w.
Barley, of Kentucky, and passed
by a two-thirds vote August 18th.
The resolution means that the
anti-lynching Hill will not have to
fight for a place on the calendar
and that there will be no argument
over whether it should be taken up
or not. It means that the anti-lyn-
cling bill is definitely set down on
the Senate calendar and must be
debated and voted upon.
Victory for Bill
In hailing the present arrange
ment as a victory, supporters of
the anti-lyncbing bill pointed out
that in all the history of anti
lynching legislation in the Senate,
the fight has always come on the
motion to take up the bill. The fill
busters in the Senate on the Dyer
bill in 1922 and the Costigan-W ag-
er bill in 1895 were made on the
motion to consider, not on the
bill itself.
Now, by the agreement reached
August 18th, there will be no fight
over a motion to consider. The bill
will positively come up on the cal
endar and be debated on it's merits
Action on the anti-lynching bill
came with dramatic suddenness on
Wednesday afternoon, August 18th
when Senator Robert F. Wagner,
Of New York. suddenly moved that
the Senate take up the anti lyn-
ching bill. Arrangement had been
made by Senate leaders 10 take up
the District of Columbia airport
ill and vice president Garner, who
was in the chair, had been advised
to recognize senators who would
bring up the airport bill. However,
these senators delayed in arising
and asking for the floor and while
they were waiting, Senator Wagner
jumped up and asked for consider
alton of the anti-lynching bill.
There vas nothing for Vice
President Garner to do but recog
nize Senator Wagner and thus the
bill was brought before the Senate.
Senator Barley arose and pointed
out that the airport bill was to be
considered, but Mr.. amer remind
ed him of the rules of the Senate
which demand the recognition of
the first senator on his feet.
