BIG FEATURE NOW COMING
 TO COLISEUM
AIexander's Ragtim e Band" with Large Cast
 Opening on Holiday

"Alexanders Ragtime Band" the song which Irving Berlin wrote nearly thirty years ago and which has lived long enough in popular fancy to become a genuine Ameri- can folk song, forms the theme of the Daryl F Zanuck 20th Century, Fox production which bears the songs name.
 The film opens Sunday at the Coliseum Theatre, with Tyrone Power, Alice Faye and Don Ameche in the starring roles.
 While it revolutionizes the entire popular concept of dancing and singing in 1911 it is generally admitted to have begun the rag time vogue which has since passed through the eras of blues and jazz to current swing"
 There are 28 song hits in the fea- ture, powerful drama, a glorious love story and emotional thrills.

From strange places, shrouded in Oriental mystery, come fantastic stories about per- formances of Hindu Fakirs, who cast spells over their audiences by such astonishing feats as walking barefooted on burning coals, or causing small boys to climb up ropes hang ing in mid-air In the remote regions where these tricks of magic are performed, the ln- habitants know nothing of electricity plunp- ing, or fast transportation.
 These same spellbound audiences of the Hindu Fakirs would be equally dumbfounded if they could witness the modern magic per formed as a matter of daily routine Tn the kitchens of American homes. You could amaze them by simple demonstration of an automatic electric roaster You would put the meat in little metal box without fire any, where near it, turn button, and go off to movie. Hours later, you would take out perfectly done roast. No Hindu magic can beat that.
 The average American kitchen is full of equipment that would be magic to primitive people, The electric light itself is major wonder, and the handsome porcelain sink, with it's unlimited quantities of hot and cold water constantly on tap, is hardly less. Yet four-fifths of all the homes in this country are equipped with one or both of these facilities.
 Your mechanical refrigerator would fairly hypnotize savage from the tropics Imagine his astonishment at the magic box which is always cold inside, and even manu- factures little cubes of ice. How many house. holders really know how it works? Most of

Poetic Thoughts
Anniversary Greetings
By NORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

Greetings Editor in this fourth anniversary issue
For his lean years of struggle for
For every issue he has tried to give you
paper worthy of the communitys progress.
When at first he began to print
Many thought he'd have to stint
On his ink columns, too,
For he just beginning, it's true.
But he overcame that at once
For he that those stunts
Didn't produce first class community paper,
For his aims above such peculiar capers
Now he knew just what to do,
For he had been in the old experience school,
Trained hard and long to get his start
So he wouldn't upset the applicant.
Now the paper is pretty good sized child
Has lot of ideas people think Wild
Show me the Editor who always agree
With everyone although he gets his fee.
He thanks his friends for their continued well wishes,
And hopes to merit more for he has dishes
That he'll produce from time to time
AS the business warrants it In his financial climb.

in both directions. Twin City mer-
chants are realizing that best re-
suits follow when their wares are
advertised in Negro publications.
Our people read with care such
advertising and spend their money
accordingly.
In the long run it means more
business for progressive firms. In
the future it means more considera-
ton for the group and a possibility
of larger employment in fields here
tofore closed.
AS one of our public we know
you must be increasingly satisfied
with our news cOverage, its extent
and variety. With the attractive
appearance of our papers, its clean
easily read type, its interesting
columnists and its makeup that has
won for these papers a place in
analytic esteem reached by no
other Negro journals in the United
States. We believe these things
entitle us to look backward with
pride and forward with hope.
