0 THE NEW YORK ACE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1921 THE STAGE AND ATH TIGS Drama League Dinner Causes Discussion of ilie Color Line (Continued Frm First Pane) reason tlian lat lie is a colored man. lus hern eliminated as one of the fluests at the Drama League dinner tii ten actors and actresses ot dis titmion en March and this in spite (ji i lt.it C'm work in 'Hie Emperor Jones' lias won hira a place in Ilie Urania LcaRtie d.ii toting to rstablii.li ihc year's ten bifi jes4 contributors to dramatic art. "Confirmation or denial of this act of prejudice has been refund by the responsible officers of the Drama League. In the circumstancts, re specting as we do the macr(tij a bility of Mr. Gilpin, we wish to announce our dn ision to siaiy away from the Drama League dinner unless the Drama League sirs lit to deny intern to discrimalc agalns.

Mr. Gil liin." Officials of the Drama League hastened to issue a statement which declared that the circulation reports were based on a misunderstanding. That while the voting was in progress, and before it had been concluded, someone telephoned in and asked as to Mr. Gilpin's standing in he balloting. At that time lie etood third among the actorsi but no ideu could be sivrn of the final standing as the full list, which included pro diKers, stage directors, playwrights and designers, also would have co be tabulated.

The inquirer wanted to know if Mr. Gilpin was likely to he invited, and was told that it was probably doubtful, as the full returns might not place hira among the first ten. Gilpin It One of Ten The balloting was concluded on Saturday, February 19th, and announcement was made, in the morning papers of Monday, February 21st, that Gilpin stood sixth among those balloted for and would consequently be invited to be the dinner guest of the Drama League at the annual dinner on March at Hotel McAlpin. Waller Hart wig, in charge of the dinner arrangements, made the formal statement as to the result on Sunday evening at Plymouth Theatre, prior to a lecture by versity. The audience appfoudrd the reading of the names, the ten persons faceted being Dudley Digges, of "Heartbreak JUouse;" Gilda Varesi, of "Enter David Belasco, putting on Eugene O'Niell, author Emperor Ben Ami, of "Samson and Charles Gilpin, of "The Kmperor Jones'; Lionel Atwill, of Lee Siinonsoii, scenic artist, "Heart break House''; Margaret Severn, use of masks In dances in "The Greenwich Village Fred Stone, comic artist.

Mr. Harrwijr afterwards stated most emphatically that Mr, Gilpin would be in.iied, the invitations being sent out on Monday of this week. It is the hope cf certain elements, judging from the news items concerning the matter, that Mr. Gilpin'may not accept. is evident, however, that there is a strong Jee'ing that Mr.

Gilpin should attend, nut as a colored man, simply, but because he stands as the representative of a particular racial art development. Some of the Comments. Leading men and women of the theatrical world gave expression to their opinions in strong language. Robert Edmund Jones, scenic artist, said: Jf the report is true, I think it outrageous and I shall refuse to at tet.d the dinner. Eugene G.

O'Neil, author of "The Emperor Jones," saick "Of course 1 shall not attend the dinner ot the Diama League under these circumstances. It is terrible that the Drama League should make race distinctions. It seems unbelievable." Mr. Trevor starring with Miss Vareai in "Enter Madame," said; "If tharles Gilpin is accorded such treatment by the Drama League I' shall never participate in any of the activities ci the Drama League nor shall 1 attend the rjir.ncr." The following editorial expressions court; ning the matter have been taken froni the New York and, Brooklyn jiapers named and show the character ot opinion brought out by the reports nf proposed disginiination by the Drama League. The Globe and Commercial of February 17th made the inflowing ccs "Charles Gilpin the whose genius has given the "Emperor JontV a deserved success, is undoubtedly one of the dramatic discoveries of the year.

Some of the members of the Drama League appear to have objected, on account of Mr. Gilpin's color, to inviting him to their annual banquet, at which distinguished actors are honored rutsts. Several of the intended gucsis have thereupon announced that they won't at'end if Gilpin isn't asked. The Drama eLague protest that it is being misrepresented. It can answer the charge': effectively by giving Mr.

Gilpin the recognition that his artistic abilities, vlnch ore far above those common in his own or any other race.dcinand." NO. COLOR LINE ON THE STAGE. (From The Evening Mail) "The tributes which white men have paid to the military genius and statesmanship of Toussaint L'Ouverture, to the executive ability and ppwSrs of eloquence of Booker T. VVashington, and to the quaint and plaintive beauty of the poems of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, all bear witness t0 the fact that in t'tf realm of genius the color line disappears. "Nowhere should this principle be applied more strictly than to the American stage.

For in a irue sense the drama is one of the must democrat of our American As nowhere else, an artist is judsrrj behind the footlights on sheer merit a lone. As pitilessly as a crowd in the Roman oleuro, the playgoing pub'ir sits in judgement, ready io' turii down disapproving thumbs for every failure, ready to acclaim every success. "This democratic characteristic the stage muse retain unless it would deliberately forfeit its right to respect, if not its right to, continued public support. When the stage ceases to recog mre genius as genius and to reward it us such, it ill have lost characteristic perhaps alwvc all others, makes it thr power it is in. the.

life of America today. "The pro'i sting members of the Drama League have done well not to lose sight of Ibis salient fact In demanding justice for Charles Gilpin they have but demanded jnsli.e for themselves and for the "art to which tiny have devoted their lives." DININ3 WITH MR. GILPIN. (From The Tribune) "There seems no possible excuse for the Drama League's treatment of Mr. Cbarles Gilpin, the distinguished Negro actor, as an impossible guest at a dinner to the notable figtir of the season's plays.

The occasion was to be a public mark of honor to outstanding actors, playwrights and produofi. To draw the color line in respect to such an event is to insult the artistic integrity of every participant. "The protest of the prominent stage men and women against the Drama League's action was prompt and to the poinl. It exprrssrd well the prevail ing sentiment of true artists. Art knows no limitations of race or nation.

It is the one universal speech, Its creators, in every nutter touching their art, belong to ono fraternity. To suggest any other rule is to suggest treachery to every high and generous item in the artist creed. "We hone the critics of our Mage will note the episode. The prompt protest of these actors and actresses was a fine gesture, fitly expressing the lajth ot true liearteu and generous people. TJie reiiilt should be to transform the Drama League's occasion into a dinner in honor of Mr.

Gilpin. The whole community be glad for any amends that can be made to this Admirable artiwt for at stiiDld action utterly unrepresentative of the stage or its puunc. THE DRAMA LEAGUE AND A NEGRO. fFrnm The Broklvn kaalA "There is not the sliclitest 'obligation. legal or moral, not ewii tradition, to nina tne urama League to invite C.

b. (iilpin, a Negro, to itss annual bannuet March 6. On the other hand, members who st.jv away thrmselves because lliey feel that an aotor who has made a tug rot in a hie success th victim of mere race discrimination are wholly right in their course. The invitation is discretionary with the league or a majority of its members. Kehuking the Al.

j. vtsiini iimro at is discretionary wun uie minority. v. "However, we tlihik that the world of art, of music and of the stage will sooner or later have to make up its mind to frllowshiD colored oersons marked proficiency. There may may mu in: sumcicnt DBMS lor the theory that the NVgro will never excel in mathematics, in the exact sciences or in chess playing.

But in acting, in oratory, in music and in painting or sculpture, if he can master the tech nique of the latter two, the once en siaveu race does offer something temperamentally distinctive, and compelling recognition. "Mr. Gilpin's own statement with rr(. eirence to the issue so hotly discussed ov inc urama League people is entirely temperate and self respecting. He says: "I am honestly striving to present my art rather than myself to the public.

1 have no right to pose as an object of A gainst those who do not care to in the same dining room with me, 1 have no complaint. This only will I say: Thus far in the world's historv no race or profession has ever been permanently prevented from winning an equality rating or itself. Neither Booker T. Washington nor Frederick Douglass, nor even the creator of D'Artagnan and the Count of Monte Cristo, (he grandson of a Santo Domingo Negro woman, could have put more of personal dignity into an analysis of such a situation. But Alexander Dumas, developing in the.

broader and more caibolic atmosphere' of a Latin country, had no occission for such an apologia." THE LINCOLN THEATRE William De Miller has a delicate theme in a skillful and delightful manner, in his latest production for Pa ramount, "Midsummer Madness, coming to the Lincoln Theatre this week Although the story is of a type entirely diftcrfcnt from the producer's most recent pictures. "The Prince Chap" and Conrad in Quest of His Youth." it bears the same artistic quality which has characterized all pictures produced under Mr. De MillcV direction. The story, which is based on Cosmo novt, "H' Friend and His introduces two young married couples who have been life long friends. In one family the wife, not receiving the little attentions for which every young wife yearns, is hungrv for romance, and in the other, the husband is surfeited by his wife's attentions, and begins to long for new conquests.

The encvitahle romance between the romantic wife and the ovrr lovcd husband develops when the other husband and wife both happen to be out of town at the same time, and affairs reach a critical point. Hie miscreants awaken to a lull sense of the wrong they are doing to innocent people. After a highly emo tional climax, all ends happy. The cast is rich in screen talent and includes Jack Holt.

C. Triangles, the Fan Tan Club, the St. Christopher Cubs, the Spartan Hornets and the Lightweights, I do not agree that the Flashes were the champions because a team that is champion ill ptsy any team of good standing on that team's court, provided that a game ha bcei. or will be played on their own court. If each team wins one of the games, then a deciding game should he nlaycd on a neutral court.

The Flashes have been getting the money olt their games and the teams making the attraction are only getting expenses. All these teams are due a return game, hut the Flashes cannot see the use of it. The Fan Tans would like to stage a game with the Flashes, on either of their courts, at Labor Lyceum or sarngernuna mil. The St. Christopher Cubs are looking for a rcturn.gamr as they almost beat the Flashes on the St.

Mark's court. They arc entitled to a return game on the Cubs court. The Spartan Hornets are willing to play the Flashes on any neutral court agreeable.
