Citizens Pay
Tribute To
William Smith


The testimonial dinner given w.
M. Smith by the Phyllis Auxiliary
and Twin City citizens at the P.
w. House Tuesday night, April IS,
was the most successful affair of
it's kind ever given to any men,
Der of the group in the history of
the city.
The assembly hall of the settle
ment house was crowded to, the
doors, with the tables that accom-
modated the $50 people who came
representing many organizations
of the Twin Cities, and the many
individuals who accepted the OPP
portunity to pay their respects to
this outstanding citizen of Mime
sofa.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank B. Jones of
Chicago, sister and brother-in-law
of Mr.. Smith, motored to the city
for the celebration, accompanied by
Mrs. Rose Elliot, prominent bust
ness woman of Chicago.
Prominent members of Twin
City social, business, and civic
groups including almost as many
white as colored enjoyed the excel
lent menu prepared by the commit
tee and the many fine tributes Civ
en- to the guest of honor.
Newman is M. C..
G. E. Newman, editor of the
Spokesman and Recorder news
papers, was the happy master of
ceremonies and, according to many
comments heard after the affair,
did a swell job.
The auxiliary of Phyllis Wheatley
arranged the testimonial. Mrs.
Frances Duncan, president, was as
sisted by Mrs. Ethel Ray Williams
as chairman of the committee. Miss
w. Gertrude Brown, head resident
of the house, sprung a surprise
when at the conclusion of the talks
she arose, and at the end of a glow
ing eulogistic review of the serv-
ices rendered by Mr.. Smith over
the years in behalf of the commu-
nifty, presented him with a beauti-
full engraved loving cup from the
auxiliary.
At the suggestion of Mr.. New
man, Mrs. Williams, chairman of
testimonial committee, read a num-
Der of letters and kilograms re-
ceived from persons who were I'M
able to be present.
Among them were letters from
Miss Anne Foster from California,
a former St. Paul social worker;
DR.. w. D. Brown Of Minneapolis;
Senators Henrik Shipstead and Err
nest Lundeen from Washington;
Governor Elmer A. Benson; Con-
gresham Dewey w. Johnson,
Judge E. F. Waite and E. J. Golf,
county attorney; Irving J. Clark,
Halle @. Brown Community House,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Lee, Postmas-
ter John R. Coan, G. H. Hemperly,
Judge Vince Day, former Mayor
Geo. E. Leach, and the Minnesota
Association of Colored Women.
Piano music was played through
out the evening by Mrs. Katheryn
Mitchell, and the vocal offerings of
the Harmony Quartette, the Misses
Dorothy Pittman, June Hawkins,
Dorothy Early and Dorothy Jack
son, met an insistent demand for
more, and yet more.
Judge Anderson Speaks
Thos. E. Latimer, mayor of Min
neapolis, was unable to be present,
but Judge VIM. A. Anderson, for
mer mayor of Minneapolis, and an
old friend of Mr.. Smiths, kindly
consented to speak for him. The

College Prexy,
To Speak Here


DR.. Willis King, president of
Cannon Theological Seminary in
Atlanta, Ga, will be visiting St.
Paul the week of April 18th, dur
ing the preaching Mission program
for which purpose he is coming to
these Twin Cities.
DR.. King is a very outstanding
religious leader among Methodists
throughout the United States.
He is, perhaps, more fully pre-
pared to bring to the Negroes of
this community a far more intel
lectual approach to the synchroni-
cation of every day living and GER
tain religious principles than any
other man in his field. DR.. King
was born in the South, educated
in the North, receiving his law de-
gree from Harvard Law School,
after which he received another
degree from Oxford, England. He
has been editor of the Southwest
ern Christian Advocate, the Off
cial organ of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church.
On Monday afternoon, April
10Th, at 1:45 p. M, at Halle Q.
Brown Community House, he will
make an address. The public is
invited. There is no admission
fee.

the concert. Miss Schiller dis
played a sensitive response to the
efforts of the string players and
complemented them in a highly
satisfactory manner.
Serge Prokofieff, noted Russian
composer and pianist, made a deep
impression upon his audience last
night at the Soviet Embassy when
he gave a piano recital of his own
works. His program was made up
Of varying types of music COM
posed at wide intervals of time and
at the request of the ambassador
of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics, Prokofieff gave the
first public performance of a
dance from his new ballet, Romeo
and Juliet" played from the or
cheStra score.
Another first public perform
ance was that of three charming
and simple numbers entitled
Music for Children" (a) Marche,
Cd "Soir," and Co "Sur les pres
Ia lune Sc promene." Two of his
earlier works, "Andante, Opus 30"
and "Etude, Opus 2, No. A." con-
tanned heavy bass figuration but
with easily followed melodie lines.
His "Trois gavottes," were filled
with Infectious rhythm and the
Suggestion diabolique," resulted
in much pounding of the i1Stru-
ment, but it put across in a vivid
manner the implication of the
title.
Mr.. Prokofieff is in this country
for only a short time and is di-
viding his time between Moscow
and Paris where he spends most
of his time in composition. He
was offered the post recently to
head the Moscow Conservatory,
but declined the position because
the administrative details would
take too much time away from
his desire for creative effort.
Due to the illness of Frank Har-
rison, who was scheduled to give
a vocal recital this evening at
Rankin Memorial Chapel, Howard
University, the concert is post
poned and the date will be an
nounced later.
The theme shown above is in
troduced by the violins in the
third dance section of the ScherEo
movement of the "Berkie Sym
phony" by R. Deane Shure. The
composers notes for this section
follow: Now more matured at

dance salon with earnest serious
ness
Mr.. Shure will give an intro
duCtory explanation of his new
symphony Friday night at the
Mount Vernon Place Methodist
Church. Admission is free. This
new work will be given its pre-
miere by the National Symphony
Orchestra, February II, at Con-
stitution Hall.

WAen we see someone, ike MISS
Fontanne scintillating across the
stage in a hit play, we like to be-
lieve that beauty of face, voice and
figure were handed out at birth in
lieu of the proverbial silver spoon,
when, as a matter of fact, in most
cases, determination and superb
vitality are the secret of that in
tangible thing called beauty.
Typical Fontanne advice to the
woman bent on charm is: Stay out
of the rut-a rut is the certain
death of beauty. Too often women
will plod along for years so alb
sorbed in their duties Of being good
wives and devoted mothers that
they neglect themselves shame
fully.
Miss Fontanne will never get
into a rut.i She changes the style
of her hair every season, makes
play out of work, and fun out of
exercise. On the Lunt-Fontanne
farm, during summer vacation,
they work like farmhands-once
going as far as to paint the house!
Then, for exercise, Miss Fontanne
rides, Swims, fishes and gardens.
Her favorite exercise is swimming
and she INDUCES in a dip as often
as possible.
All this activity is in prepare
ton for more activity in the
theater the following season, for
the plays the couple favor are
full of action. Certain vigorous
scenes in Reunion in Vienna"
and The Tanning of the Shrew"
which are the usual thing in
their performances-makes a few
dozen bends to the floor every
morning seem like mere child's
play.
The outstanding quality OF this
actress is gracefulnesS, and there
is no such thing as grace with.
out SupplenesS. Unquestionably,
the active life she leads keeps
her body timber and adds to her
high vitality.
If you want to be graceful,

tame and keep supple through
exercise.

following exercises:

Lotto Lehman, soprano and
Gaspar Cascade, cellist, in joint
recital yesterday morning at the
Mayflower Hotel gave the final
concert Of the season of the
morning musical series under the
management of Mrs. Lawrence
Townsend.
Confirming her selections almost
entirely to German lieder, for
which her interpretations are just
ly famous, Nine. Lehman sang
with a warmth of tone and intel
ligence of expression that re-
suited in highly finished works Of
art.
There is a subtlety Of style
about her singing that deties accu-
rate description. Her every mood
and Characterization are never
overdone, but projected with a
sense that she is close and friendly
with her auditors as if singing to
each one alone.
Mr.. Cascade, the young Span
ish 'cellist and foremost pupil Of
Pablo CaSals, appearing for the
first time in Washington, met
with a most enthusiastic recep-
ton. The breadth of tone and
finesse of technique were at once
plainly evident when he had
played but the first few measures
of his opening number.
Without having to resort to dis
play pieces to show his dignital
dexterity, everyone Sensed his out
standing mastery of the instru-
ment from the ease with which he
played and his interpretatiVe bril-
lance. Though the instrument
may seem in many hands to be
less wieldy than the smaller vic.
lin, there was no feeling Of this
in Cascades playing of such
works as Rimsky- Korsakow's
"Bumble-Bee," or Saint Saens'
''The Swan" There was fire and
dramatic climaxes in his own
composition. Dance du diable
vert"
Another seasons final concert
was given yesterday afternoon at
the Phillips Memorial Gallery
when the Pro Musica Quartet
gave the last of Candlelight Con-
cert series, assisted by Edith Sctil-
Ter at the piano.
The Mozart Quartet in B Flat"
was presented with a high quality
of tone and ensemble spirit that
made it a most pleasing reading.
The variety of moods and rhythm
of melodic lines of the Schubert
Quartet in E Flat" stood in pleas
ing contrast to the first piece.
With the addition of the piano
in Dohnanyi's Quintet in E Flat
Minor" the finishing touches to
program of complete enjoyment
were added. The arrangement of
the three successive works showed
fine taste in program building.
The Quintet" was modern enough,
melodic enough. and dramatic
