Mr. Grammar, a bachelor, has
no immediate relatives. Born in
indianapolis, Ind, Mr.. Grammar
would have been II on March II.
HOnored Last October.
Hollywood honored him last
October 27 at the most gala of his
many testimonial dinners. There
were 375 persons at the affair,
including the biggest movie names
and Gov. Earl Warren of Cali
fornia.
In later years, Mr.. Grammar
wasn't satisfied merely to have
hand and footprints in his cement.
The late John Barrymore pressed
his profile into the concrete;
Jimmy Durante's nose is i'm
printed there; so are Betty

Mr.. Grammar began his career
in show business with his father
in San Francisco around the time
of the fire in 1906. They operated
a small house called "Grauman's

Before that, Mr.. Grammar was
In Alaska for the Klondike gold
rush. He didn't do so well there.
In 1887, the gold lure captivated
him again and he entered a min
ing venture in South Dakota with
several other film leaders.
His wealth has been reported at
near the million dollar mark. His
mother died in 1886 and left him
an estate valued at 100000.
Mr.. Grammar left the Klondike
in 1902 with $6,000-but not from
gold. The youngster, he was 13,
made his pile selling San Fran

Grammar convinced his father
they should be in show business.
Got Canadian Backing.
With the backing of a Canadian
friend. they started Grauman's
unique theater-in stall under

and fire, they pitched a tent and
named it "Grauman's National

The tent wore out in two years,

truck highway separates the
school grounds from the eating
grounds. The hot dogs are patent
ly cooked in hot grease of the hog
lard variety which can be smelled
two blocks away. The odor of the
hot grease is at times nauseous.
But these young Negroes fairly
riot to eat under these circum-
stances.
If the hot dogs we're even cook
ed in vegetable fat, matters would
be improved somewhat but such
small matter seemingly does not
bother these young leaders of to-
morrow. They have no scruples
against eating out in the dust and
CRIME and eating outdoors, if a
white man is serving them. If the
reader can imagine from $50 to
200 young Negroes in high school
without a minimum Of pride, mil
ling around seeking to be served
hot dogs cooked in hog fat in fair
and foul weather, then l have
drawn the picture that I want
considered.
On the other hand,t the school
has n of the finest and most
modern cafeterias to be found in
the country, no exception. It is
fitted with the latest furniture
and designs; the woman in charge
is an expert in dietetics and the
menus are balanced after a sci
entific formula. The room is heat
ed comfortably sothat the students
may eat their bread with joy. The
cost of the food is less than that
paid across the street. But for
some unexplainable reasons, stu
dents frequent the outdoor eating
place and desert the fine air and
surroundings Of a modern low
priced cafeteria.
There is something wrong about
this situation and the sooner this
wrong is located and corrected
the better will be the outlook for
Negro leadership Of tomorrow.
These young Negroes jostling
about in the dust and CRIME to
eat out of the white mans hands
are the victims of a dreadful af-
Fiction, the inferiority complex.
The food they seek under these
unsanitary ditions is
not cheaper; it is not better pre-
pared; it is not more wholesome.

For AMP
Leaders of Tomorrow
Too often the hopes of a fat
tomorrow atone for our lean to-
day. One of the most blessed en-
dowments granted humans by a
beneficent Heavenly Father is
this selfsame propensity of NOV
ing at will among our yesterdays,
our todays and our tomorrows.
When today gets too gloomy we
can escape into our great tomor-
row; and when tomorrow's out
look becomes too burdensome we
find refuge in a great yesterday,
and woe unto that soul that is
unblessed by a great yesterday,
asthe shadows of the approaching
sunset lengthen. The today of
the Negro race becomes bearable
in theface oftrying circumstances
only when we have visions Of a
great tomorrow.
Lean yesterdays and todays are
limited in their power over us, it
we look forward to a better to-
morrow. This matter of tomorrow
greatly concerns Negro leadership
We stand today upon an eminence
that would have been impossible
without a great leadership yes
terday. The Negro fathers built
in many respects better than they
knew. Above all they built into
the present generations of Ne
groes a possibility complex" be-
cause of which the Negro is de-
termined to enter the Promised
Land of full-ledged citizenship in
this country.
Negroes everywhere are deter
mined that they will not be de-
MED and this determination stems
from the clear-visioned leadership
in-augurated by the humble Negro
ministry yesterday and furthered
today by the appearance upon the
scene of time Of intellectually and
spiritually qualified men and
women who are resolved to see
things though as becometh those
struggling upward to bette
things.
This article is inspired by a
sight that I recently looked upon
in one of ours southern cities
It was the noon hour at one Of
our high schools. Across the
street from the said school, 9
white man built an eating place
that deals largely in sandwiches
and hot dogs and knick-knacks Of
livers persuasion. The thing thai
attracted my attention was tn
throng of students that literally
invaded the place at the MONDAY
hour. There must have been zoe
struggling to be served and the
proprietor was having a banana
of it. Of course, the whole affair
is outdoors and those served must
buy and eat their lunches out
doors in the dust and CRIME. A
