PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: wasn't surprised when
made the rounds of my tavofite
spots to find the gangs all waiting
and agog with talk about President
Bell of Alcorn College, and every
body was saying how bad it was
that the president had to leave the
Job. But deep down I COULD see
they weren't as much concerned
about him having to leave his job,
as they were about why he had 20
leave, who done it, and what would
go on down there now that things
had been taken over by FesS Bowles
and that faculty committee. One
fellow up and says. seeing that
they done tuck charge, they could
not wait till they got a sure-nutt
new president, but they done al

themselves in the air, like gunpow-

atrical Portraits. Harriet Is
on loan exhibition at the Cass
Theater this week and visitors
will find that they have quite a
surprise IN store.
We say surprise because we
know how current the belief has
been that any play written about
Harriet Beecher Stowe must be
a pretty dreary affair.
We agree that, generally. BIZ
ographical dramas lean towards
the dull side and that we shared
the fear that certainly an opus
about Mrs. Stowe would be about
as exciting as the figures of the
last census.
SO we were most agTeeably
amazed 10 find that what Flor
ence RyerSon and Colin Clements
have CLEANED from the life and
literary times Of the famous al
thoreSS of Uncle Toms Cabin
has made for a thoroughly enter
tanning evening IN the theater.

Wit and even a couple of touches
Of melodrama.

Ry CHARLES GENTRY

He is devoted 10 his energetic
little wife, who after bearing him
several children. can't bear "a
have them raised in a border
state" the slave question having
made Ohio a trouble center.
She seeks TO dodge the aboli-
ton problem which her family OF
famous sisters and brothers con-
tinually raise and flees 10 New
England. where in time she is
finally forced 10 face the issue.
Al the inSiStence of her POM
pols brother, the famous preacher,
Henry Ward Beecher. she starts
Uncle Toms Cabin as a maya
zine serial.
STARTS HER SERIAL
1t spreads like wildfire and
Mrs. Stowe finds herself raised
from security 10 standard bearer
of a crusade she was first fright
ened of.
Helen Hayes gives a remarkable
and. we must admit, extremely
kind portrayal of this woman who
was, in reality, something of a
rattle-brain.
She portrays her as a patient
wife and loving mother, whose
literary activities were merely
eXtra-curricular 10 her household
routine and she endows Mrs.
Stowe with a kind of sagacity
which makes her an important
dramatic. if not entirely life-like,
person.
Miss Hayes does the most to
bring out every humorous accent
in the play: the scene with her
father. her abstraction while
writing the firebrand form OF fic-
ton and her final acceptance of
national homage are all done
with great artistry.
The second act with its pathetic
bit about the runaway slave and
its stirring final curtain stands
out as the most intriguing part
of the evening.

In the latter part of the pro-

them an artistry and fervor that

Science Proves
Race Supremacy
Theories A Myth

Chicago. Exploding the racial
supremacy myth is an article on
Race Science" appearing in the
February issue of NEGRO d.
GEST which reveals that leading
anthropologists are in agreement
on the fact that though races ex-
hibit obvious and measurable ply
steal differences, there are no in
herite intellectual or moral su-
periorities.
Climate, geographical back
ground, diet and breeding in iso-
lation are most frequently adj
yanced in theories concerning the
explanation of physical racial diff
ferences. The folk belief of many
whites that the Negro stands at a
lower stage of development away
from apes has long ago been
brushed aside" the article points
out.
Negroes who have had the ad-
vantage of higher educational
standards in the North prove that
, environment plays dominant
role in shaping intelligence. Fig
ures based on army intelligence
testing records in the last war
! demonstrated the fact that Neg
roes who had been educated in
the schools of progressive North
ern states had higher intelligence
| scores than which recruits from q
number OF Southern states.

new YORK JUDGE HOLDS
A WOMAN FOR RAPE LIE

Brooklyn, N. Y. Remember
ing his world famous Scottsboro
case, Samuel S. Leibowitz, now
County Judge here, held a white
wiman, Mrs. Edna Hancock in $25-
600 bail on a charge of perjury
growing out Of Mrs. Hancock's
false charge of rape against one
Murray Goldman.
The Hancock woman a nurse
in a Brooklyn hospital, had ac-
cused Goldman of entering her
room and criminally assaulting
her. Goldman was convicted and
sentenced to ten years in prison,
but the story sounded so "fishy"
to Judge Leibowitz that he order
ed Goldman to submit to lie de-
tector test. The test indicaed
Goldman Innocence. Leibowitz
ordered that Mrs. Hancock be pur-
sued and brought back to Brook
Ign. After several days she and
Goldman were brought into court
and the District Attorneys Of
flee admitted that Mrs. Hancock
had changed her story, and had
told them she had lied on the
witness stand during the trial.
Goldman went free and Leibowitz
ordered the woman arrested.

Negro Problem
A Southern One
Says Ala. Editor

Chicago John Temple Graves,
editor of the Birmingham Age
Herald. convinced that the Negro
problem is primarily a Southern
one, writes in the February issue
OF Negro Digest published here
that since the ratio of Negroes to
whites is considerably higher in
the South than in the North "ari-
thmetic makes the race problem
Southern"
While admitting that what hap
pens to the Negro in the South
affects the whole nation, Mr..
Graves nevertheless insists that
primarily in the South the two
races have to get along with each
other in greatest numbers and
proximities and it is there that
, the biggestproblem has to be
worked out"
Attorney General Francis Bid
die does not agree with the South
ern editor He points to the re-
cent interracial clashes In De-
troit and New York as proof that
the race problem is not confined
to the South.
eve must realize that the prob
lem of the relation of the white
to the Negro, in fact the problems
of most racial minorities, are ma
tional in their scope. The con-
