THEATRICALITIES

We learned this week that Kath-
arine Durham, a Negro dancer Of
Chicago, is to make her first recital
appearance on Broadway, Sunday,
Feb. 10. Her program will include
both exotic and American Negro
dances. We have been hearing Of
Miss Durham and her group for
quite some time now and are glad
that she is achieving something be-
yond local or sectional recognition
She is said to be one OF the finest
dancers in the country. We hope
that her appearance on the Rialto
will accomplish a great deal toward
stimulating interest in the Negro
dance, an art which we feel has
been pretty sadly neglected by the
race.
A famous dancer said that the
significance Of the dance lay in its
ability to communicate what could
not be said in words; that when a
dance could be broken down into
verbal expression it lost its i'm
portance as art. How much there is
in the Negro struggle toward reali-
zation that can never be captured
by words alone! Yet we have al
lowed the message Of the serious
Negro dancer to go practically IN
heeded.
The Paul Robson Players will
return to the boards the latter part
of next month in a one-act play
titled, "In Heaven and Earth" This
is an anti-war play, rather strong
meat, in three scenes and deals
with the plight of a sincere pacifist
on a college campus in war time.
We feel that such a play is dras-
tically needed today. for if the
American masses do not keep their
eyes open they are liable to find
themselves defending democracy
again. While an Heaven and Earth"
IS a bold protest against war and
war-mongers, it does not err on the
side of too-obvious propaganda or
contain the superficialities often
attending the topical play. Its mes
sage is positive, its plea for peace
challenging, and the conditions II
pictures may unfortunately be the
actualities of a not too distant to-
morrow. This play will be presented
during the Negro Congress Art and
Cultural Exhibit to be held March
23-30 at Brewster Center.
Progressives have been loud in
their denunciation of Mrs. Roose-
welt for crossing the picket-line
thrown around a Washington the
atre which would not allow Ne
groes to the premiere Of ABE Lin
coin in Illinois" We regret that
the First Lady did not refuse TO
attend the jim-crow playhouse, for
her refusal would have meant pres

RADIANT LIVING
TO-DAY rs YOURS
~ REV. g. M. 0RwFEuA
Pastor Methodist Church, cteiilon, II

! Z ~r~--N---f --HAf
This morning brings to you a new
day. It is yours to do with it whai
you will.
Today is like new white canvas
placed upon an easel before which
an artist has taken his seat and il
ready 70 apply his brush. Whatever
picture will appear upon that can
vas will be the result Of the skill OF
the artist It will depend upon the
] lines that he draws, the color that
he applies, and the atmosphere that
he creates.
Are you thinking that this day
can not be yours because you may
have to work for another or that
there are unpleasant tasks that you
must 60?
Notwithstanding the fact that you
may be prevented from doing the
things you would like to do, or that
you may have to carry heavy respon-
sibilities and face difficult problems,
nevertheless it still remains true
that today is yours TO meet such
restrictions, responsibilities and
problems, not in such way as to be
mastered by them, but in such way
as to be a master Of them.
No thoughtful person is free from
anxiety in these troublesome times.
But each can face these anxieties by
deepening his confidence in God, by
showing to others a courageous
heart, by attacking his problems
with an unfinching determination to
solve them, masterfully and smiling
ly.
It is not what we have to do dur
ing the day that makes the day
happy one or otherwise. 1t is rather
the attitude of mind by which we ap-
proach the day, the viewpoint from
which we look upon the tasks of the
day. the spirit by which we carry |
through.
There will be many passing mo- |
ments during this day that are filled |
with brightness for you. They are
coming to you loaded with comfort,
encOuragements, aspirations, and
ideas. Be on the outlook
for them and seize them.
Today is yours! Make it the best
day in your life!

DRUG STORE ENLARGES

Johnson's Drug Store, formerly
located at oath & Parker ST., which
merged with the Robinson Drug
Store on oath & Grant ST., a few
weeks ago found quarters too small
for the two stores. As a result of
this, Mr.. Johnson the Proprietor,
has found that he must take over
the VILLAS Salon Store which is
next door to the Robins Drug
Store. In a few days the building
will be remodled and a large arch
way cut through from the Robins
Drug Store which will make the
two stores into one large store.
Mr.. Johnson owns this property
and is to be congratulated on eff
forts being put forth to give the
people of this community a one
minute up-to-date service.

Non Relief Families
Found To Be Thrifty

New York, March % CAMP
The majority of colored families
off relief here have managed to
remain financially independent be-
cause of the combined factors of
steady work, good health, few
children, careful budgeting and
roomers, according to a study is
sued last week by the committee on
Negro welfare of the Welfare
council.
The study, intended to show how
~non-relief families have managed
to stay in that category, was based
on the records of 80 representative
families in Manhattan and Brook
Ign where the proportion of relief
cases is four times the city-wide
average.
A twill to manage" in the fami-
lies which have avoided relief, was
emphasized in the report, but in
The Omaha guide., 1940-03-30

spite of this, the survey noted that
families had to rent out rooms to
supplement their meager incomes.
More than so per cent of the fami-
lies studied were childless, and the
survey saw a close relation be-
tween the size of family and their
ability to maintain financial in
dependence.
"How socially desirable some of
these factors in solving community
problems is a question to be taken
under serious advisement," the re-
port said.
The highest salary in the group
studied was found to be 1858 a
month, the lowest $40. The month
ly income range for women was
from $3.50 to $107.50. Unskilled
and domestic jobs predominated
for this group.

ton of the United States Depart
ment of Justice in the matter of
poll taxes, has also served to bring
him to the fore as a champion of
three million disfranchised Negro
voters of the south.
Immediate response among Ne
gro leaders here to the Congress-
announcement that Mr.. Lewis
would speak was that his utteranc-
es before this representative gath
ering of leaders of Negro organic
atoms promises to mark a new e.
pooh in the relations between the
Negro people and labor. Congress
officials themselves greeted with
high enthusiasm his acceptance of
their invitation. They announced
that his speech and the presidential
address of A. Phillip Randolph,
head of the Congress, would be
carried over a national hookup, to
be heard by some five million peo-
pie. Steps have already been TAX
en- to arrange in key cities through
out the country for simultaneous
meetings of local Congress counc-
lis to hear these two important adj
dresses.
