OBITUARY

Rev. John Sidney Myrick was
born in 1875 at Forsyth, Ga.
His mother died in his infancy
and he was raised on a farm
by his father. At the age of II
he was ready to do a mans
work and was employed there
after as a cobbler, storekeeper,
candy worker, tailor and car
penter. He attended Morris
Brown College till his fathers
death forced him to give up his
schooling. Called to the ministry
in early life, he is best known
for the many churches he foun-
ded. Among these being two in
Georgia, Big Bethel in Hartford,
Ct, largest colored church in
New England, a church in Rain
bow, Ct; Grant AME, Boston;
Salem Church. He was appoin-
ted Missionary Elder over sew
eral New England districts.
About IS years ago he left the
AME. conference and founded
the Free VIII Methodist Church
which he pastored till his death.
OF his marriage to Laura Nc
Clendon of Ca, five children
were born all of whom survive.
They are: John Sidney Myrick,
Jr., a defense worker of New
York; Bishop z. Myrick, a
mechanic at Camp Edwards;
Mrs. Rosa N. Scott, co-manager
of the Deco Supply Co., Bos-
ton; Mrs. Rebecca Ward, en-
ployee at Navy Yard; Miss Gel
eStena Myrick, Boston Science
School teacher. Also surviving
are two brothers, Lewis in the
PHILIPPINES and Jerry of New
London, Ct, who attended the
funeral. There are also ten
grandchildren.
Mr.. Myrick was a jealous
churchman, preaching to save
souls and not for gain. He was
thoroughly race loyal and par
ticipated in all movements for
the betterment of colored
people. He was one Of the first
men hereabout to decry the
misnomer, NEGRO" as a race
appelation and joined the late
Editor Trotter in the crusade
against use of the name. His
last well days were spent trying
to keep his church going and
managing many pieces of prop
crty which he had acquired.

mentioned that Henry D.
WinSlow, representative from
Cambridge, had filed a bill in
the Massachusetts Legislature,
to memorable Congress to pass
the Poll Tax Bill recently de-
feated in Congress by a solid
south filibuster. Mr.. Winslow
could be depended upon to Go
something like that and even
more in the interest of our
group. 1t is family tradition
for the Winslows to be friend
ly and helpful to the colored
people.
Henry D. Winslow is the
grandson Of Henry J. Wins!ow
who was well known among
the older residents of Cam
bridge. When I sold papers IN
Central Square we knew MIN
as Judge WinSIow and could
always depend upon his adj
vice and help when involved
in some nnisdemeanor of the
law. Judge WinSlow was one of
the best friends that we had
in Cambridge in the days
when Cambridge was a better
governed city.
When Henry Winslow, Sec
ond, father Of our representa-
tive was president of the Card
bridge Fort Savings Bank, we
could always go to him win
our real estate troubles, and
receive Just consideration.
Young Winslow is a fine
type of the Old Yankee Stock
and a good one to keep inth5
Legislature. He is now serving
his third term and there IS
more to be expected from him.
The Cambridge Chapter of
the American Red Cross has
elected me as a member of its
Steering Committee. We are

less for me to state that boys
from every colored family in
Massachusetts, are fighting, be-
ing wounded and dying on cv-
cry battle front of this glob-
ular war. AS soldiers, the Red
Cross looks after their con-
fort. Back home it is our duty
to contribute what we may to
the support Of every effort in
tended for the alienation Of

The drive is in full swing and
will continue through the

tionery is now being prepared
and I am appealing to the
colored people of Greater Bos-
ton to help me make a good
showing. You may make
checks, or money orders pay

Vision in Lacquer.
Suddenly there was a low whistline
sound all around us. A prop man
tapped me on the shoulder and said
Boy, oh, boy, is that a dream or is
it true?"
1t was true. On the top step of a
flight of stairs stood a woman SC
beautiful! Her legs were encased in
gilt. Even her toes, with the excep-
ton of the red-lacquered nails, were
gilded.
To those legs hundreds of eyes
were glued. The woman didn't seem
to exhibit them. She knew they
didn't look like every other pair in
the world, but she somehow didn't
seem to care much. Her smile was
slow and amused. She knew she had
entered and conquered, but then she
had done that SO often.
She wore black chiffon trousers, a
chiffon half skirt hanging from her
hips to her heels, a dozen adroitly
looped golden chains, and at her
waist 500 tiny golden bells which
tinkled as she moved.
1t was Marlene Dietrich!
Look at her hair" the prop man
said and pointed to a coiffure which
was fantastic and yet so simple. She
had a 6-inch cone of golden hail
atop her head. Gold rings accented
smooth plaits of hair above her ears
and two thin braids hung to hel
shoulders.
Even William Dieterle, the direc-
tor, looked up and smiled approving
ly.
Dieterle walked behind the cam
eras, his steps the only noise on
that stage. Then suddenly he
clapped his hands together-as usua.
he wore his white gloves. Let us

come from her management of
Meredith's farm, which she took
over when the 500, ,OOO-a-year actor
went into the Army.
Much of this farming was done by
telephone from Hollywood, but not
until after Paulette had it under
control and had installed the digni-
fled Constance Collier, another de-
voted woman friend, as chatelaine.
With great taste, Miss Collier man.
|ages the place mostly from a second
story window through lorgnette.
On the occasion when Paulette
bustled Diego Rivera over the Mexi-
can border away from the Com
munist assassins who slew Leon
Trotsky, she acted quickly and with
decision. Pilots of all privately
owned planes at that time in Mexico
were Germans. AS their homeland
at the time was friendly Russia,
Paulette made her pilot take his
children with her in the plane to
guarantee safe arrival.
Shrewd at Planning.
Hollywood will long remember the
cocktail party given by H. G. Wells
and Paulette one quiet Sunday
afternoon as the most hilarious in
town not noted for seriousness
H. G. himself dubbed it an "amooz-
ing" affair.
Full of projects, Paulette usually
gets outside financing, even to secur-
ling FILA loans on four houses she
bought and furnished for rental as
project to keep her mother occup-
pied and supplied with an income
Paulette is living in one of these
herself now, which originally be-
longed to Ruth Chatterton. She
considers the farm at Nyack her
permanent residence.
Her latest trip to Mexico is another
outside financing deal. After trying
to talk the studio publicity depart
ment into paying for it, she tried a
couple OF other tacks. Failing all
these, she went as guest to the
Mexican governments Department
OF Communication and Roads by
posing for advertising stills.
Paulette, with certain modifica-
tons, including more good will to-
ward her fellow men and women, is
stlll playing the part against real
life background. Any screen acting
that she does is bound to be of little
consequence compared to the drama
that Is Paulette herself.
