Samuel Untermyer
Continued from Page Three)

Untermyer became a Zionist be-
cause he concluded that the Jews
were threatened with extermina-
ton and he, as a man of large
humanitarian prospective, saw in
a Jewish land the means Of Sc
curing for our people the re-
spect of the world, a weapon to
fend off attacks and the POSSIBLE
ty of uniting with other forces
that might help is in our struggle
against our enemies. He believed
in the strength of the Jews and
sought to concentrat tie that
strength-and therein lay his
greatest virtue.
For the same reason he threw
himself with such fervOr and devO-
ton into the work of the Anti
Nazi Boycott League.
Untermyer was not a pillar in
American Jewish life. Nevertheless
he gave so much of himself to
Jewish causes that he will be re-
membered for long time to come.

THE WORLDS FAIR PLAQUE

When the New York Worlds Fair
ends during the latter part of next
month, it will leave behind MANY
pleasant memories in the minds If
the millions who visited it. Not the
least OF these memories will be the
prominent part taken by colored
Americans on several occasions in
various activities. Philippa Duke
SCHUYLER infant prodigy in music,
enchanted her audience The Aloha
Kappa Alpha sorority gave a pro
gramme which featured the achieve
ments and problems of colored COLLEGE
women. A whole week was devoted to
presenting the contributions of colored
Americans to American culture. An
gusta Savage's Life Ev'ry Voice and
Sing" delighted its beholders. And so
1t went, during two eventful wears of
world history, when many Central and
Nortn european nations lost their In
dependence and their participation in
Cne Falr ceased or was disputed bv
claimants often as dubious as thew
were numerous.
The roster of names of distinguish
ed colored Americans, past and pres
ent, has been memorialized in the
American Common, where every visi-
Tor may see in these concluding DAYS
OF the greatest Worlds Fair in record
ed history, the personalities whose
careers form the life-span of Race
achievement in the United States
Impressive is the beadroll: BENJAMIN
Banneker and Phillis Wheatley. those
earnest adornments of national sci
ence and literature, are in tba com
pany of present-day figures sncb as

roster. 'i'o

Hub To Hear

John Banks and Frank Asquith,
composers, playwrights, actors, also
directors of the Banks and Asquith
Dramatic Group of Boston have sur
rendered a few of their songs which
will be featured beginning next week
by Sherman Freeman's Band now
playing at the Savoy Cafe. Ernest
Trotman assumes responsibility for
the arrangements; Clarence jackson,
the featured singer of the band whose
golden voice has gained host of
admirers, will sing the gorgeous music
of Banks and Asquith.
Recently, the manager for Banks
and Asquith, received an offer to sell
the entire collection at a substantial
figure, but declined declaring the boys
want to come into their own as song
writers and dramatic directors.
Watch for the announcement of
their new play . Long Live Mu-
sic", a powerful drama dating from
the world war era up to the present
time. This play written and directed
by these two brilliant youthful drama
lists will undoubtedly be hit. Several
of their musical compositions will be
featured. These young men are aim
ing to be great producers and direc-
tors. Their work of composing started
in August, 1885. AS directors they be-
gan in September 1888.
