courageous play. Deep Are The
Roots are very good examples
of this trend. And there must
be a reason why the producers
are willing to give the initial
honors to Boston whose CEN
sors are noted widely. I think
the reason is because we have
real democratic stage and
screen critics for the most part.
This applies to almost every
newspaper in the city. However
with the various social reac~
tons now prevalent tn eliberal
writer's may face a difficult
task in the future-and so will
the future of the Boston stage.
Mr. Lee, like Mr. Robson, has
been strongly defended now by
several white celebrities who
think colored men should play
any role they can. MIR Robson
and Mr. Lee are not always
honored by the roles given;
many of Mr. Lees roles have
been villains or worse. Nor can
any one say that "Anna Lu-
caSta" is an over pious role,
nor many Others given to COL
ored. But the point is, that il
a colored man wants to play a
role, any role for which he is
qualified, he-like a white man,
deserves the chance. And this
applies to Hollywood as well as
the American stage. 1t should
apply geenrally to life itself.

There will be little rejoicing by colored citizens

railway trains in the South The action will be considered
simply ongdelayed restitution of the rights and priv
eges of coored travellers Of which they had been robbed
by the ignorance and prejudice of the nations backward
section Rather the rejoicing should be all the side of
white folk for the subsistence legal squechng of dis
elimination anywhere in the country is indication that
the nation whole is making progress albeit slowly,
toward it's goal of practical democracy.
We "inching along" it must be conceded, but
every gain for freedom and equality helps to keep alive
the hope in all the fighters for better America that event
uay enough democracy will be achieved to outmatch the
opposition and that that day the whole evil
structure of prejudice hatred and bgoty will forthwith
collapse.

OBITUARY
Samuel Williams

Samuel williams Of 100 Ell
lery st. Cambridge, passed
away at Cambridge Hospital
on Saturday Sept. Z, after a
very painful illness of six weeks
duration. Funeral services were
held from BANDS Undertaking
parlors sept 10, Rev R A Reed,
asst pastor of Charles Street
Church, conducting. Stanley
Davis sang. Interment was in
Cambridge Cemetery.
Mr. williams was born in
Charleston, S C in the year
1852 the son of Alexander and
Susan Cummings Williams.
He was nine years old when the
Civil war broke out and had
many vivid recollections of
events in and around his ma
tive city.
Being a man Of wide exper-
fence and having had rather
more educational opportunity
than the average child of his
time, he attempted to put some
of these experiences into writ
ing. The result is one published
volume, Before the War and
After the Union" and a second
manuscript not quite finished.
The greater part of his life was
spent in the south. In 1903 he
moved with his family to Wind
sor, vt. where he resided until
1910 when he came to Boston.
His interests were wide and
varied, but foremost in his
thoughts were his church and
his race. He was a member Of
the first AME Church, the
| NAACP, the New England Con-
gress, South Carolina Club and
other civic and political organ
izationS.
A man with the ability to
make and hold friends, he viii
be missed by many. He is sur
vived by a son Samuel williams
Jr of Bronx, N Y, two daugh-
tiers, Mrs w Alexander Cox of
Cambridge and Mrs Carolyn o
McClain of Port Chester, N Y,
and eight grandchildren, and
one great grandchild.
