Binq Crosby Now at Columbia

The escapades Of one Of the
maddest and most colorful
families to come out Of Holly
wood this season form the CEN
tral interest in the new Bing
Crosby-Fred MacMurray COM
edy, Sing You Sinners" which
opened at the Columbia today,
after a successful weeks en-
gagement at the Capitol.
With Bing playing the role of
a happy-go-lucky, irresponsible
local boy who finally makes
good in Los Angeles, the comedy
gives a gay picture of family life
in a small town in America.
Things begin to happen to
the "Beebes" when Bing gives up
the home town as too confined a
field for his talents and goes
off to Los Angeles to seek his
fortune. A series of uproarious
adventures follow, especially
when the rest of the Beebes ar
rive to find Bing with every
thing he has in the world bet
on a race horse he has bought.
The film winds up in a whirl-
wind climax, due to the unex-
pected events engineered by the
horse, Miss Patterson and Mac
Murray.
In "Sing You Sinners" Pro
ducer-Director Wesley RuggleS
introduces his two newest star
discoveries. They are Donald
O'Connor and Ellen Drew.
Donald, who plays the kid
brother o. Bing and Fred. Miss
Drew will be seen as the de-
voted sweetheart of MacMur-

convinced that rapid progress is largely
wasted. Revolutionary doctrines fright
ened him. He was timid about taking
chances with violence. It was part of
his faith that his people must earn the
improvement of their condition which
he so keenly desired. His verse, in
common with his sociological essays, was
rational. If bitterness crept into his
writings. no one deplored its intrusion
more than he. His Autobiography Of
an Ex-Colored Man" is an appealing
document perhaps on account of its re-
serve, its reticence. There were many
things that he disciplined himself not
to write.
Naturally enough, number of doors
were closed to him the while he lived:
but now, dead in a highway accident, he
is free of the handicap Of any prejudice.
He should take his place in literature
with Paul Lawrence Dunbar and in the
service of his country with Frederick
Douglass. Like them, he was a credit
to humanity at large.

James Weldon johnson, Negro poet
and philosopher, must not be permitted
to depart from the American scene un-
noticed. He was figure of distinction,
a character of well-deserved celebrity, q
man of authentic genius and of COM
pelling charm. His natural modesty kept
him from the glare of the spotlight, yet
his name and his work were widely
known and respected. From 1916 to 1880
he was secretary OF the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of Colored
People,. doing invaluable service for the
white as well as the black race-a con-
structive labor the effect Of which could
not be praised too generously.

The Circus.
The circus has to go, 'tis said,
And face its final finish.
The elephant with stately tread
His pathway must diminish.
A jest which was the donkey's pride
Is turned to serious meaning
And there Is sorrow far and wide,
No laughter are we cleaning.
And yet we ask where shall they 20,
Those wonderful creations,
With gilded homes and hearts aglow
To dazzle many nations.
"Forepaugh" becomes a silent name;
OF Sells" no more we chatter;
For "Barnum" there Is no acclaim.
His memory does not matter.
Now Ringing goes the silent way.
And yet for all these creatures
Somewhere the band is sure to play
And cheer the same old features.
So we will wait, still confident
Despite the powrs Internal,
We know we'll somehow find content
The Circus is Eternal.
