Pearl Buck, one of Americas

minority rights, who is also a men,
Der of the Council for Democracy,
wrote last week, her protest
against the recent Warren Brown
article flaying the Negro press, to
Ernest Angel, president of the
Council Of which Brown is also a
member. Mrs. Buck said:
81 saw only last week DR.. War
rem Browns article which was pub
ished in the Saturday Review of
Literature and the Readers Digest,
and must say, at once, that dis
agree entirely with this article and
cannot be put in the position of
any responsibility for it. I think it
is an unfortunate article from the
point of view of race relations. I
think it is an untrue article. I
fear that it will make impossible
the conference which the Council
for Democracy was planning with
members Of the colored press. I
cannot comprehend how it could
have been written"

Council Hits Behavior
at Theatre

Editor: The Council Of Negro
Organizations, which has as q part
Of its program the preservation Of
our civil rights, is equally con-
cerned with the obligations Of good
citizenship. Those Of US who are
interested in the promotion Of bet
ter inter-racial understanding can
not help being concerned with re-
ports reaching us which tend to
reflect unfavorably upon all Ne
groes.
Such a report has come to our
attention regarding the conduct Of
some Of our people at the 0rpheum
Theatre during Lucky Millinder's
engagement. There was boisterous-
ness, loud talking in the corridors
and here and their "Amos and
Andy conversation" punctuated by
excessive gum chewing.
Patrons came to the Orpheum to
see a previously announced show,
not to see and hear side show. We
have the right to see the show, but
our rights end when our conduct
becomes an Infringement upon the
right and enjoyment Of others.

DOxey as Sergeant
Alarms Choice Re-
scented by Negroes

New York, N. Y.-The N.A.A.-
C.P. expressed this week in a COM
munication to Senator Alben w.
Barley the shock of Negroes
throughout the United States at
the selection Of ex-senator Doxie
as Sergeant at Arms by a Demo-
crat caucus.
The N.A.A.C.P. warned that this
selection coming at the time of the
cancellation of the F.E.P.C. hear
ings on railroad discrimination
would be considered by many Ne
groes proof that the Democratic
party does not wish Negro sup
port. The N.A.A.C.P. stated that
it was probable that resentment
would grow since the sergeant at
arms has charge Of capitol police
and Negroes might feel that the
choice Of a man who joined in lead
ing in the filibuster Of the anti-poll
tax bill would cause further dis
regard Of citizenship rights of Ne
gro visitors to the capitol This
does not seem unlikely, the N.A.A.-
C.P. said, with the capitol police
under the authority of a man who
expressed himself as did Doxie on
the Senate floor.

GEORGE R. MANNING GIVEN

Fifteen years Of scouting service

Annual Meeting of the st. Paul

The National Council Of the Boy

became active Scoutmaster of
Troop 81 in 1929. His troop has
won numerous awards and ribbons

POrgy & Bess
Plays st. Paul
Feb. II and IL

The late George Gershwin's
"Porgy and Bess," which was a
major musical event of the Fall of
1885, will be one of the m a j o r
events of the 1913 season in St.
Paul when Cheryl Crawford
neapois when Cheryl Crawford
Paul auditorium for two days be-
presents her revised version at St.
ginning Friday evening, February
8, following a most successful en-
gagement of 10 months at the Ma
jestic theater, New York, and IL
weeks at the Studebaker theater,
Chicago. Mail orders are now be-
ing received for all performances,
IL, following a most successful en-
on Saturday.
Miss Crawford has assembled
all of the original cast, with three
exceptions, and also has the gifted
Alexander Smallens again con-
Quoting. The production has been
expertly directed by Robert Ross,
eliminating the recitatives and
m a king other changes which
Gershwin always wanted to make,
resulting in a more fluid perform
ance. And as it stands it is the
most thrilling as well as enter
tanning, and deeply affecting mu-
steal in American history.
Everyone is familiar with such
lovely melodies as Summer Time"
"My Mans Gone Now" "a Woman
Is a Sometime Thing" and 81 Got
Plenty O. Nuttin'," and the anus
ing "It Amt Necessarily So" and
"There's Boat That's Leavin' for
New York" These numbers are
still musical highlights, but even
the incidental music is inspiringly
beautiful, and the entire score is
the glorious legacy of a genius.
The cast of 75 includes Todd
Duncan, in the role of Porgy; Eta
Moten as Bess; Georgette Harvey,
J. Rosamond johnson, Ruby Ely,
Harriet Jackson, Avon Long, War
rem Coleman and Eva Jessye and
her famous choir. The entire
cast, down to the smallest urchin,
is perfect and the choral effects
are tremendously stirring.
From the moment the curtain
rises on Catfish Row, the music,
the bright costumes and the rich
voices of the cast begin to weave
their spell - a spell which is en-
thralling to the final curtain.
A Minneapolis girl, June Hawk
ms, is a member of the cast. Miss
Hawkins is well known to Twin
City audiences for her fine soprano

Both in his petition and on the
stand Barker claimed that his wife
had admitted intimacies with Rev.
S. E. Ware, pastor of Pilgrim Bap-
fist Church, and H. M. Hunt, a
deacon in the same church. He
produced no witnesses to corrobo-
rate his allegations and admitted
that he had only the word of his
wife as basis of his charges.
Mrs. Barker in her suit charged
Barker with "cruel and inhuman
treatment" citing his workhouse
sentence of last July for striking
her. Barker testified that he beat
her after she admitted her rela-
lions with the two men.
After hearing both claimants
Judge Mentally dismissed both the
cases. Attorney Hammond Turner
represented Barker.
Ware and Hunt Deny Charges
Rev. S. E. Ware emphatically
denied Barker's allegations as did
Howard M. Hunt. Friends Of the
minister claim the charges were
inspired by church faction which
seeks to embarrass the minister.
Supporters of the pastor pointed
out that Barker's counter suit was
thrown out of court because he
exhibited no proof Of his allega-
tions.
Ware said he was both surprised
and hurt that Barker had named
him. He termed the allegations
"baseless, without foundation and
maliciously inspired"
Won't Dignity Charges
He told reporters that he did not
intend to dignity the charges by
court action.
Howard Hunt, highly respected
postal employee and Pilgrim dea-
con, the other man named in the
suit, termed Bankers allegations
false and without foundation.
Mrs. Barker, who is reported out
| of the city, could not be reached for
a statement.
Barker told reporters Wednes-
day night that the court transcript
spoke for itself and would make
no further comment.
