I DRAM AT GS AND AlTi THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23 AUROREAN COTERIE GIVES NOVEL CONCERT AT CHARLESTON, a i -3 RACE CONSCIOUSNESS. (BY LESTER A. WALTON) WOW and then there comes to my attention proof that the colored A American realizes more and 1 more that the majority of his people are almost wholly devoid of the spirit of race consciousness something with which we must be iiiocculated to a large degree before the race can expect to do great things by co-operation. The last bit of evidence to put me in an optimistic frame of mind comes from Charleston, S. where, several even, ings ago, a concert unique and meri torious was Riven by colored musi cians, who presented to the audience for kindly consideration works of Negro composers.

The concert, which was a big success in many ways, was given under the auspices of the Aurorean Coterie, which was organized September 20, 1905. The officers are Dr. M. M. Edwards, presi dent; E.

L. Noisette, vice-president; Dr. W. H. Miller, treasurer, and S.

J. Poin- sctte, secretary. As the letter sent me by the Aurorean Coterie was not marked personal, I am taking the liberty 'of publishing it, as well as the program used on the evening in question. AUROREAN COTERIE Organized Sept 20, 1906) 111 Spring Street. Charleston, S.

C. Dec. 7, 1915. To the Dramatic Editor of The Age We are sending you a program of a concert given on November 21. Tou will notice that works of colored authors only were used.

We are trying to stimulate Inter-est In such work among a people who are somewhat removed from the advancement and progress of Negroes. The program was well rendered by our best local talent. Every number in Part was encored except chorus work, which received hearty applause, but same was not accepted as an encore. i Any mention you might make of this concert may help us In accomplishing our purpose of bringing the Charleston people to appreciate such work of Negro composers. Respectfully yours, Aurorean Coterie.

P.S. The Aurorean Trio comprises: T. D. Moore, piano: J. R.

Logan, violin, and Dr. W. H. Miller, clarionet. The following program was rendered PART.

Mickey, H. Lesesne, W. Fndie, John R. Harlee and Paul Winds. A more fertile field to plant the seeds of race consciousness could not have been found than Charleston, S.

where, some years ago, the fires of color prejudice and caste burned fiercely among the Negroes themselves. And for that matter, these fires have not been entirely extinguished, and are said to be faintly burning to this verv dav. To those of Charleston who still labor under the false impression that one of light complexion is intrinsically the superior ot one ot dark complexion, and this estimate as to worth and standing is based solely on the question of color. I cheerfully recommend that they spend an eveninsr with the colored comnos- ers, who will be presented to them (at least their works) by the Aurorean Co terie. And I am sure what first might be regarded as an act of condescension on part will give way to a higher appreciation for the colored American, mingled with a leeling of increased re spect The time has come for colored Americans to lay aside notions that have made them superficial only, and have retarded rather than aided their prog ress.

In the public schools our children are seldom tauplit that the Negro has a his' tory, one of which he has cause to feel justly proud, and that it does not date tack to just hfty or a years ago in the United States, but to thousands of years ago. We are not even told in the books on United States history, used in our public schools, that within a few, years after the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation Negroes sat in tbe Halls of Congress as Senators and Congressmen. Just such organizations as the Aurorean Coterie of Charleston, S. have a Rreat mission to perform, for they are developing within us the most-needed of all tilings RACE CONSCIOUS XESS.

A FOOT BALL WIZARD. (By Phil Waters, Charleston, W. Va.) In every university of college where there are colored students they invaria bly win honor and fame. Not only In the intercollegiate debates the oratori cal contests and high scholarship, but in the strenuous athletic battles, particularly football, some hero in ebony Is continually bursting forth as a star of the first magnitude. Lewis, assistant attorney general of the United States under President Taft, the old Harvard linesman, regarded by the leading experts as the greatest cen ter of all time, was the pioneer, and shone brilliantly in tbe early nineties.

He was followed by the marvelous Jevett, the great halfback of the University of Michigan, the first and only colored player to wear the moleskin of that famous school. Bullock of Dart mouth, Marshall of Williams, Mathews of Harvard, Toung of the university of Illinois, Johnson of the University of Nebraska, Gray of Amherst, Green, now assistant attorney general of Ohio, of Western Reserve; Roberts of Colo rado CoHege, Brownley of Howard, possibly the most versatile player ever produced by any colored college, are a few of our leading players who have made gridiron history during the paat quarter of a century, The season of 1915 has been no ex ceptlon. Smith of the Michigan Aggies and Pollard of Brown University are our most noted representatives in the football world to-day. Gideon E. Smith has been a member of the Michigan Agricultural College football team for three years and baa played his last game.

The following appeared In a re cent issue of the Detroit Tribune: "Gideon 'Smith, the chocolate-hued member of the Michigan Aggies, who, during the paat three seasons, has vied with the best of them for popularity among the -farmers, smiled broadly Friday evening. The smile followed the presentation of a gold watch to him as a token of appreclation'and friendship from Aggie rooters. Just aa the football banqueters were adjourning, the rooters' spokesman -stepped up to the big fellow and tapped him on the shoulder. have a little token for you. Tou have never had time taken out for you on the football field, so we are giving It to you Gideon didn't have a whole lot to do In the way of speechmaklng, but he turned on a smile that expressed a whole lot more than words." The leading experts of the West al though alwas showing partiality for the Big Nine football teams and a large amount of color blindness, have select ed Smith aa the right tackle for the All-Western Eleven.

The Dally News of Chicago, In its Issue of November 27 last says: "Smith, playing his last year for the Michigan Aggies, Is another wonderful tackle. Coaches Harper of Notre Dame, Tost of Michigan and Stehm of Nebraska, all of whom have played against htm, unite In declaring him of All-Amir-ican class. Macklln, his own coach, has little to say about him, summing up his opinion in these words: 'He is the greatest tackle 1 ever saw, East or West' The big colored man was largely responsible for the success of the Lansing team this year and was used offensively and defensively." Walter Eckersall, one of the greatest football players who ever lived, and an expert official, states that Smith Is quick In discerning a play, powerful and sure as a tackier, and is without an, equal in solving the tricks of his opponents. Gideon played the most dazzling game of his whole career against the far-famed team of the University of Michigan. He was the first man to ever turn back the "German bullet," Maulbetsch, Walter Camp's All-Amerlcan halfback.

Of his playing In this game the Free Press of Detroit says: "When It comes to the defense. Smith, the big M. A. C. tackle, was far and away the best man In the game.

This large person Is a decided brunette as to complexion, but as a footlmll player he is pure gold all the way throunh. No matter where the Maize and tlue sent its plays, there always seemed to be a dark man in the way." In his three years of playing Smith BOSH STOCK COMPANY TO OPEN AT LAFAYETTE BIG CHRISTMAS The Anita Bush Stock Co. will head the big vaudeville entertainment to be provided by -Messrs. Morganstern commencing Monday of next week, and the bill will highly please the large Harlem's most popular theatre during The Anita Bush Stock Co. comes cessful run at one of the smaller vaudeville houses in Harlem, and this am bitious dramatic organization will be given an opportunity to make a bid to the Lafayette audiences for popularity.

"Over tie Footlights" will, be the sketch put -on all of next week by the company, which includes Anita Bush, Carlotta Freeman, Charles Gilpin, Andrew Bishop and 'DQoley" Wilson. If the company pleases the patrons of the Lafayette Theatre it will enter into a long run at the Seventh avenue amusement place. Ida Forsyne headed the bill the first half of the week, and Miss Forsyne, who is styled "the race's whirlwind dancer," put over her numbers in fine tyle. Her Russian dance, in particular, was much appreciated. Hunter Chappelle, old favorites, the Mikado Troupe, the Two Hayes, Zinnetto Luelle and the Three Country Cousins were all recipients of well-merited applause.

A new bill will be presented for the second half of the week, commencing Thursday, and holiday prices will prevail Saturday afternoon Christmas. CD GIDEON The wonderful tackle of the Michigan named for the Ail has never had any time taken out, although in every game he was the center of the fiercest attack. He gives all the credit to his unprejudiced coach. Johnny Macklln, one of the few- great gridiron generals who believes In giving every candidate 'for his team an equal show regardless of color, race or his pocket book. Only three men in the history of the game, as the records show, have made longer runs from scrimmage.

Smith ran SO yards for a touchdown in a game against Akron College In 114. Smith was born and reared In Nor folk, Vs. He graduated from Hampton Institute, in 1910, and the Ferris Institute, Big Rapids, Mich, in. 1911 This is his fourth and last year at M. A.

Lansing, Mich. In a letter to him, Governor Wood-bridge N. Ferris of Michigan said: "I like you because you are a success in football. Go ahead. I am sure that you are now realizing In a measure your ambition, and I am also sure that the future Is rich with promise for you.

I congratulate C. upon having a man of your ability on their team." Many schools are anxious to obtain Smith as coach and physical director. He Is undecided where be will go next year. SPORTING NOTES. Frank Jenkins the crack runner of the Far Rockaway High School, placed second in the 880-yard run at the eleventh annualt track games of the Stuyvesant High School held in the Seventy-first Regiment last Saturday evening.

The Last of the Smart Set. As the Smart Set A. C. is no longer registered with the A. A.

members of that association who in years past were the pride of Brooklyn and well known in athletic ciicles all over the country have joined other organizations and a few are free agents, at liberty to compete for any club under the regulations of the A. A. U. It has been known for some time that the Smart Set was becoming disorganized but occasionally the fine showing made by Martin, Murray, Powe or Aaron Morris reminded the public that the Smart Set was still in the running. This year there has been no attempt to organize a basketball team, the old playors being seen trying to make the various teams of the New York clubs and the Y.

M. C. A. and St. Augustine teams of N.

Y. Theclub stopped having regular meetings some time ago. Francis Marshall's entry blank was returned to him both, for the senior cross country championships and the national cross country championships. He was informed that he could not compete as the Smart Set was no lonper a registered club. 1 he Smart Set relay team has joined the Alpha Fhysical Culture Club's track team and will be seen on the boards this winter.
