mMm ft. -1 -Tv I IVHAT PART Will THE NEGRO NAY? TWO movements were recently launched in New York City which should serve as an incentive to 11 self respecting colored citizens of the metropolis who hope in the future to effectively destroy many of the obnoxious un-American customs which have been boldly and flagrantly substituted for laws laws on the statute books of the Empire State providing rights and privileges for people of color which we do not enjoy. At a meeting of the Irish Fellowship Qub last Sunday the "stage man" was given a number of severe jolts and it was agreed by the members of the club to start a crusade against caricaturing, inc insn race uciorc. uic footlights, the consensus of opinion being that such misrepresentation was hurtful One of the principal speakers in dis cussing the "stage Irishman" said: The people of America owe it to common decency and to what the Irish have done for this country to abolish: the "stage Irishman." Tou should work for this. You done much In stopping the- caricatures on eards, out the stage Irishman" Is an Insult to Ireland.

We are deeply. religious people; we are not hard drinkers and resent being misrepresented wrongly on stage and in the press. We cannot expect, to be represented fairly by our enemies, and if we national press it would be better; but the people of America should shun the "stage Irlshrnan." Moved by the utterances of Dr. Silverman of Temole Emanuel sev- eral days ago, the Jews, of Greater -New York have also come to the conclusion thijtheir race" is tpo $6-Terely caricatured On the stage and fiav taVen tn rn nnr a stnn tn what they term an unfair and untrue repre sentation of the Jew; In condemning the "stage Dr. Silverman said in part The "stage Jew" is a stench In our nostrils, a disgrace to the coun-- try, an Insult to the Jew and a discredit to the stage.

He used "merely to cater to prejudice and to the box office receipts. Certainly the frivolous references and fine Insinuation against the Jew deserve the contempt and derision of all right-minded people. We can rr- ajtt muit enlist the spirit of Amer-, can fair play and Justice. Cltlseas tfcoald Raise Fa ad. With the Irish asking the people of America to do away with the "stage Irishman" for the sake of common dfr-cency, and the Jew appealing to the spirit of American fair play and justice for the abolishment of the "stage the question arises, what is the Negro doing in this struggle for race uplift- ment? Will he sit idly by and watch the other races make a fight for fair "pla, or will he get on the firing line and demand that he be given more respectful consideration not only on the ava ltt rn r1I C1 1 0 rf amilCA.

ment? The Irish and the Jews are not rais- 9 i crimination in the theatres because there is no drawing of racial lines against them. They are permitted to sit in anv cart of a theatre, and. therefore, are silent on that score. But if they i lt- were uiscriiuuiaicu agauui iiuuik places of amusement as is the Negro, it requires an effort to even contem plate that these two races' would assume such a morbid and indifferent attitude in matters affecting their rights of citi zenship as have the colored citizens of New York in the past 'Of course the Negro is also being unduly caricatured on the stage to-day, and particularly in vaudeville the words Negro and colored are rarely used in referring to members of the race, such expression of derision as "coon" being ariven a decided preference. Insults of this character should be stopped and could be if proper steps were taken.

So could ooen violations of the Malby act. which are commuted aany, dc checked if the colored citizens of Great rr New York make ud their minds to punish the offenders. Quite a number of letters have been received at The Age office from readers complimenting mis paper on us ngiu against race discrimination in the theatres of New York. Some of the writers gushingly tell of their race pride and loyalty, and in the majority of in stances the suggestion is made that a fund be raised to test the validity of the Malby act Yet strange to relate, not one of the writers so lavish in his pro-'HMtation of race fidelity has come for ward and agreeably shocked the dra matic idea of The Age by making a financial contribution toward raising a fund. It is unlikely that well-wishers of the race will question the wisdom of the colored citizens of Greater New York raising a fund to be used for the express purpose of learning what the Malbv act stands for.

Neither is it be lieved that the realization of such plan is beyond the realm of possibility. The subject that looms perplexing and tomplex'is, who will be the first to act CDITCD BY as well as suggest? While suggestions are in order at this time, financial contributions are more preferable. Remember that the Irish and Jews are up, and doing, and that talk alone will not help our cause. Who will be the first to go on record as a believer and disciple of action instead of words?

MlJf That we are still easily In the lead of Negro minstrels Is proven by the following from the BU-mlngbam Age llerald of March 30: "Minstrelsy doea not appeal to one class of theatregoers alone, but to all classes. From the ueauut-eatlng urchin In the sal lery to the evening dressed aristocrats In the boxes, and every one enjoys a mlnslrc-1 show. That Is why the Jefferson Theatre was nuea to orernowing ana enougn turned away to fill another theatre in town, and those who were lucky enough to get la were amply rewaraea zor tneir trouble. "When tie curtain went up on the beau tiful velvet hrst part, the audience- waa spellbound at Its unusual splendor. The performance given by this company, unlike uiany given uy tneir wnue competitors, is strictly clean and refined.

Not a suggestive word, song, joke or action finds a place In their program. The comedy la in able hands and well handled. Clarence Powell and Billy King are the stars of the first part, ably assisted by Kid Langrord, David L. Hniith. Will washlnston and xoni white, The singing Is well taken care of by Sydney mrkpatriuK, Major uanieis, jaaie emun and Tom Bell.

All were good, and each one was recalled. 'The oleo was opened by Fred W. Simp son, whose trombone solos have made him famoua all over the world, followed br the Alabama Comedy Four in an act that was a scream, ana each memoer, ingrora, White. David and Jakie Smith, show rare talent for entertaining. Of course Clarence Powell, the old reliable, was on band, and aurorlsed his many admirers by having a orand new monologue mat was an empnuuc nit.

Another new act was Billy King, better known now aa Htyusu uiuy. it was tue best thins seen here in rears for style, grace and elocution of mat dancing. The saxaphone Four, Simpson, Gaines, watklus and Jones, la really a novelty that is well worth seeing, and the first one seen here with any minstrel show.

The re cital given Monday evening at Lincoln TemDle by Raymond Augustus Law- son of Hartford, assisted by Miss Daisy O. Westbrooke of St. Louis, Mo- and Allegro ciud ox waaning- ton was attended by a crowded house of the music-loving people. The art ists had been so wen announced Dy the Fisk University Club, under whose auspices they appeared, that great ex pectations had been created aa to the musical treat in The program of the evening not only met all expectations, but rar exceeded the previous high water marks for musical feasts In this city. Mr.

Law- son's selections were from the masters, thirteen numbers In all. Nevertheless he was several times encored, so much did the audience enjoy the musical diet be served. Mr. Lawson's delicate touch, fine shading and Intelligent In- teroretatlon were some of most noteworthy features of his wonderful performance. Miss Westbrooke and Allegro Glee Club ably supported Mr.

Lawson. the former with a charming lyric soprano voice, rendering Ardltl'a "Love in Springtime" and Bonn's "Just Like Love Is the Rose," with such acceptance as to elicit an encore at each number. The Glee Club with a well-balanced volume of melody, gave com plete satisfaction. EnterialBlasT THE HEW YORK AGE; THURSDAY, APRIL 71 19J0. Aw Program Recital.

THE COLORED PERFORMER ABROAD (By, A. A. Haaton.) From time to time the question is asked, What is the colored performer doing in Europe? in expressing my views on the subject I desire to have it thoroughly understood In the begin nlng that I do, not contend or dare aay that the colored performer la not a success abread, for we have quite a number who are working almost all the time and some of whom are booked for from one to three years ahead in vaudeville.

I wish to put before the public the many sacrifices performers have to make to succeed, and at the same time show why we so often hear persons who are not so successful declare that Europe is growing more prejudiced against the colored vaudevllllan every day owing to the large influx of Amer leans traveling through Europe each season. I claim that Europe is the one place for an artist, but they will not accept There are too many over there already. The white performers experience similar difficulties as the colored. There is absolutely no difference, or rather preference, shown between a white and a colored act, and if both happen to come from America If anything the colored act is favored. Any one who has had any experi ence traveling in Europe knows how much love an Englishman has for a white American.

The unfortunate part of It for the colored performer is that Europe has been flooded with a num ber of colored persons who have not been even good amateurs, who simply used the stage as a cloak in order to carry out their plans in-making a living otherwise. Both males and females have been guilty of such misconduct, and. as Is usually the case, the entire colored profession has had to suffer for the misdeeds of a few. Another fault with many of the col ored theatrical people In Europe is that they seem to think it impossible to be a performer and at the same time a lady or a gentleman. Can you blame the public from criticizing when an artist comes off the stage with the praise and applause that would be a credit to Harry Lauder and within an nour or two afterward ne is seen lounging around the corner or inside of one of the worst dives, as is often the case, especially In London.

It Is time that the colored performer should realize and appreciate the value of his position and salary. He should regard his salary just as much after he has earned it as when he is fighting and demanding It In Europe money talks, and if you have not got It you' must put up such a strong front as to convince them you have. For London is the most cruel city in the world to be broke in, as there are already thousands of native citizens in need. Europe adheres to the old saying, To him who hath shall be given." If you have the goods and know how to sell tnem you will get tne work; Dut don't come over here with something ordinary and expect to be a "knock out" If you do be prepared for an early passage homeward. we have in Europe quite a number of successful artists who are a big sue cess and a credit to the race.

On the other hand, we also have some of our best performers of both sexes whose bad reputation Is such that if they could be equally credited to the other side the sailing would be pretty "soft" for the colored performer. I know I shall be severely criticized by many, but I request the fair comments of experienced persons who have been abroad; and if I have trod on the "corns" of any one I have no apologies to offer only If the shoe fits put It on; wear It: you may derive some good results. If not let It alone. For the Latest Theatrical News Read the NEWvYORK AGE. IN THE WORLD Of SPORT By Lester A.

Walton Bla- Athletic Meet Caeceaa Waah-lartoB dulat Defeats Smart Set. LAST Thursday evening the Fourteenth Regiment Armory was the scene of the largest and most successful public entertainment ever given in Brooklyn. It was claimed by those present who can boast of having resided in the "City of Churches" long before the Brooklyn Bridge became a reality, that never in the history of Brooklyn has such a galaxy of colored) persons assembled under one roof. The official program designated the affair as an indoor athletlo carnival, basketball tournament and assembly under the auspices of the Smart Set Athletlo Club of Brooklyn. The successful manner In which the athletic program was conducted, the Interest shown by the onlookers, as well as high character of the events argue well for big meets between colored athletic clubs in and about Greater New York in the future.

There is no doubt that the public will loyally support athletics when conducted under the proper auspices. Over two thousand persons saw the Washington Y. M. C. A.

team defeat the Smart Set quint In a well contested game by the score of 20 to 17. The visitors have been winning from all competitors this season and for a while it appeared as if they would return to the capital city with a defeat added to their long string of victories. In the first half the Smart Set team outplayed the Y. M. C.

A. boys, putting up such a lively exhibition that at the end of the first half the score stood 20 to 17 In their favor. In the second half, however, the visitors started in with a vim and made a number of baskets in succession. The locals players seemed to have used up moBt of their energy in the first half and were no match for their heavy adversaries, the score ending Washington Y. M.

The Fourteenth Armory certainly a spacious edifice, In fact so large that many of the dancers upon leaving for their homes were heard at the door to say good evening and good bye to one another in the same breath. Reports are still coming in regarding "among tnose present." George W.

Latimore, J. Hoffman Woods and other Brooklynltes having the affair in charge deserve much credit for "pulling off" the most successful public affair ever given in Brooklyn. St. Christophers, 30i Lincoln Uni versity, 10. In the basketball match played last Friday evening at the Twenty-second Armory.

68th'street and Broadway, the St Christophers won from Lincoln University by the score of 30 to 10. At the end of the first half the score stood six to. six, but in the second half the local lads got together and by putting up a good exhibition of "passing" and "shooting" soon forged ahead of Lincoln.
