Our representative, Mr.. T.. L.
Heck is giving to the people Of Ohio
an excellent report Of the poverty
in our congested centers. This in
formation should be available to our
entire citizenship. He may express
sympathy for the unfortunate, but
that does not solve the problem.
Every crisis in the past could
have been averted or at least made
less severe through legislation.
A one-house legislative body n
Ohio could not precipitate suchan
impasse, as we nov have at Colum-

We will eventually fall In line

Case Handled by NAACP
The case, handled by the local
NAACP through its counsel, Atty.

grounds for such erroneous charges
against Caliman and Woods were
made known Schriber maintained
that during the conversation at the
box Office Of the theatre, Harry
Woods put one of his hands into
his pockets. 1t was because he
(Schriber) was afraid Of what
Woods might do that he assaulted
him. It was brought out at the

.nnyFong Tops
At Coyety

Amy Fong is all that the Gay
ETY. publicizes. This little lady
of the Far East possesses an ex-
quisite glide and a charming
manner which makes her act
enjoyable and complete. Her
singing is quiet and reserved.
What will amaze you is her
English. One would expect to
find a person thoroughly ORR
entail, but she is decidedly Occi-
dental in her personality and
speech.
There is one exception. She
wears costumes that are preva-
lent in her native country, which
enhances the effect of her num-
bers.
The comedy is excellent, pos
sessing many new numbers that
afford the presence OF Such
capable comediens as Bob
Ferguson, Max Coleman and
Harry Bently. They are as
sisted by the well-known Mary
Murray, Harry Jackson and
Dorothy Sewer. The latter ap-
pears in several singing spots,
as does Billy Crooks, who is
a singer with a smooth, clear
voice.
Then there is a sensational
dancer in the parsonage Of
Paula Lind, who has a smoother
routine than jeweled watch.
She is slender, red-headed and
easy to look at.
The chorus is an improve
ment over last week in more
than one way. They have a
flair for their dances and put
them over in tip-top shape. Yet
several of the girls show their
greeness by continually glanc-
ing intensively at their part
ners on either side. R. H. S.
