HOME OF The BRAVE
by Jno. l.. Blount


A powerful screen drama
"Home of the Brave" just re.
leased and now playing at the
Music Hall theatre is the sub
ject and center of our thoughts
in this brief opinion; and may
we say, to begin with, that it is
an entirely fitting subject!
The substance of the story re.
veals the innermost feelings
doubts antagonisms and fears
of a Negro American youth, one
of the war heroes somewhere il
the South Pacific, where tn,
story is laid.
Torn between loyalty to his
one apparent friend, along Will
his duty as a soldier. and the
ill-concealed prejudice and racial
hatred in other members of q
small detail on an extremely
dangerous mission, this Ameri.
can youth practically elbows up
but not until after the mission
is accomplished; and it is then
that those innermost feelings
including the natural resentment
too frequently unsupported ana
misunderstood by others, boils
up and over. almost threatening
the success of the mission,
We want to commend United
Artists on this production, which
few years back, might have
been considered daring, if moi
incendiary; and for its franl1ness
and fairness in dealing with a
National problem which has long
needed exposing to sunlight and
truth.
We want to further commend
each and every character, the
actors who accurately portrayed
the roles to which they were as
signed; and we are rather proud
of James Edwards playing the
part of Peter Moss
And, finally We must thank
the local representative of Unit
ed Artists for their eeurtesies
in the special showing To a few
dozen invited guests last Friday
evening.
Again. may we say that "Home
of the Brave" is a great picture
and we are urging that all
Seattle and all America should
see it

ROBERTA RICE
AND ORATORY
By G. Q. A.

Sunday at 3 pm, July 3rd, in
Mount Zion Baptist church. we
came, we saw, we heard, and
marveled. The winning of the
Elks oratorical contest by Miss
Rice was an admirable feat, but
also it was above the ordinary.
We know that anything that is
done with extraordinary skill is
called masterpiece, but Miss
Rice had something more than
mere delivery of memorized
words. She had the power to
reach the emotions of her listen
ers, the power of contact, that
we felt in the voice of great act
resses. a very rare skill of reach
ing out to her audience and
holding them spellbound.
l felt a deep regret that Mt.
Zion was not filled to overflow
ing. every parent and every girl
and boy should have heard this
Darling of Oratory, and all the
other three contestants who
showed also. their gifts of ora
tory to such an extent that it
seemed as If 1t was to be a task
to decide upon a winner-and
then Miss Rice began speaking.
All who were present know the
rest.
The Elks are to be commend
ed for their contribution to flu
ture generations for greater OPP
portunities and character build
ing. May God speed them.
We salute the DIR. Elks: Mrs.
Birdie johnson, Grand Deputy;
Mrs. Mary Casman, DIR. Ruler;
Mrs. Nellie Wilson, Cap and
Gown; and Grand Officer, Mrs.
Robert Addison.

LIONEL HAMPTON
COMING SAT. NIGHT

The fastest-climbing band in
the country, climbing so fast it's
looming, is Lionel Hampton's
coming to the Eagles auditorium
on Saturday. July 16, for one
night only.
Organized only in September,
1910, in less than year Ham
ton scored a sensation at the
popular Casa Manana, Los An
geles; broke all records at the
Beacon Theatre, Vancouver, B.
c.; broke all records for colored
orchestras at the Orpheum Thea
ire. Los Angeles, and all records
for ALL orchestras at the Grand
Terrace, famed Chicago night
spot. going in for six weeks;
staying for four months and sett-
ing all of Chicago, literally, by
its ears! And those are just the
least of his accomplishments in
that short space of time.
For the whole of Chicago CAP
itulated so completely to his
swing and sweet that before he
closed at the Grand Terrace, he
had been booked for summer
engagement beginning July 2oth
at the Acknowledgements Pan
Their Room of Hotel Sherman in
Chicago's loop-ten months af-
ter his band had made its bow.
For any orchestra to land a
major metropolitan hotel with
national netw ork broadcasts
within year of its organization,
is remarkable. For a colored or
chestra, it's virtually impossible.
There are lesser evidences of
the rapidity of Hampton's rise
to fame, but they all point to his
continued progress to the top of
the ladder. Marshall Field. the
great Chicago department store,
casting about for a name to use
with Mozart's in a fnll-page adj
vertisement in all Chicago news
papers, and typifying modern
music, chose Lionel Hampton's.
Readers of several newspapers,
including the Pittsburgh cour-
Ter, picked him as the outstand-
ing band of the year in polls
OF course, Lionel Hampton
was a definite name" when he
organized his band. as a result
of being starred for four years
with Benny Goodman orchestra.
But other stellar intrumentalists,
as well known as Hampton, have
started orchestras of their own,
without achieving one-half as
much as Hampton has.

~ 1&A0 Vb4s
DR.. Ralph ]. Bunche, the Unit
ed Nations mediator who talked
Jews and Arabs into stopping a
war threatening the peace of the
world, had to tdo some tall per-
suading with his 5a-year-old son
In Seattle recently.
Ralph. Jr., in a precocious dis
play of contrariness. didn't want
his picture taken with his father
mother and two sisters. Joan, IT.
and Jane, Is.
His fathers opening approach
was direct and forceful, such as
a Security Council edict to war
ring Jews and Arabs. He took
little Ralph into an adjoining
room for a conference.
Psychological Approach
When they returned. Ralph.
Jr.. walked obediently to his
place at his fathers knee. But
Mrs. Bunche took one look at
the expression of suffering
martyr on his face and declared:
"I'd rather not have him in
the picture then looking like
that"
"All right" agreed DR.. Bunche
switching his approach to the
psychological, 1--WE don't want
him in the picture. He doesn't
belong to us any more. Go in the
other room, Ralph"
Ralph fingered in the doorway
while one picture was taken.
Would Ralph like to have his
picture taken in the cowboy hat
he got at a rodeo in North Oak
ota?
His father produced the hat,
Ralph wouldn't, but he was
weakening.
well, we might as well give
the hat away them" declared DR..
Success At Last
That did it. Ralph climbed on
a suitcase next to his famous
father and when DR.. Bunche
playfully tipped the luggage,
Ralph broke down in a smile.
Taking his first vacation with
his family in eight years and try
ing, by telephone to prevent any
last-minute slip-up in the final
Jew-Arab armistices, DR.. Bunche
is a busy man.
The last truce is between Syria
and Israel.
"Our succe ss in Palestine
shows how the United Nations
can settle a difficult and danger
Gus dispute without enforcement
machinery" the 44-year-old Ne
gro declared.
"If we had used force, some
one would have been shot and
we would have had to occupy the
country a long time. AS it was.
ten of our men were killed, in
GLIDING Count Bernadotte, whom
succeeded as mediator, and 81
were wounded. But our problems
would have been much greater
by armed Intervention.
DR.. Bunche spoke at o'clock
last Wednesday in Meany Hall,
University of Washington, in
conjunction with the UNIVERSITIES
Institute of International At
fairs which opened Wednesday.
He spoke again at 10 o'clock
last Thursday forenoon in Gug-
genheim Hall on the campus and
in the evening at dinner in his
honor at the Chamber of Com
merce auditorium. The dinner, at
$3.50 o'clock. is sponsored by the
