15, MauTica Gaugin, famous theatrical Impressarlo of jFranee arrived in Ne York on Monday morning after an uneventful trip which tras marked 7 hiffh and parties lar! cold weatner. Immediately after Mr. Ganfin took up the burden of personally directing the rehearsals of his first nnisiesi revue which will havean all Nesro cast and which he plans to take for a tour of the principal American cities. In his first public statement, Maurice Gaugin touched briefly, but pointedly upon the reasons for coming to America, and scoredthose elements which take evident delight in expressing race "prejudices, particularly against the Negro. At the home of one of his friends, the French theatrical producer expressed his views and divulged his for the immediate future: "This is my firs! visit to America.

am happy to be here. I like it very much, even though I have not yet had time to see New Ufork and visit with Her people, There are many things I want to talk about, but I feel that what the public wants to know is not what I personally like or dislike about America, but rather, what America and Americans are" going to like or dislike about me. ills more often luaiuicc vFciuuui is is THE Coughs, colds than nourishment.

"Continental Europe is an ideal producing ground, but we have no really great Negro talent to dra from. The best performers have come out of America, and to bring even more of these performers out the reason for my coming here to the United States. Thtre is much money to be made through Negro dramatics in Europe. You may quote me saying that. I believe it!" Mr.

Gaugin then brought up the status of the Negro in European countries and contrasted this status with Negroes of America. "Very amusing to me is the attitude of many American people toward the Negro. would think that in a great democracy the prejudice would exist with less intensity than in Europe. I find that this is not the case, however. There more equality for the Negro in Europe.

Perhaps 1 shall try a Negro Chauve Souris myself I But what I want to do immediately is to obtain a suitable theatre.

1 have had many offers, but there are certain things that do not please me about them." On Tuesday it was learned authoritatively tlat the "certain things" to which Mr. Gaugin re xerrea were ine prices wmca wea tre owners and operators insisted would have to be paid at their box offices in the event that the Gaugin attractions played their houses. Some theatrical interests Insisted on prevailing box office prices of $5.50, $4.40, and $3.30 tops. George Morris, representing Mr. Gaugin, said later that Mr.

John T. Gibson, owner of the Gibson Theatre in Philadelphia, had opened negotiations for the first Gaugin revue to play there. The Gibson Theatre, its owner pointed out, waa on the main street of the Quaker Citv and was accessible bv manv lines of transportation. It was also brought out that the Gibson Theatre has a much larger seating capacity than 80Ce of the theatres in New York, and furthermore was modern in every respect and well suited to Mr. Morris telegraphed Mr Gib son asking whether me uaugia revue could plajr at the theatre at gave assurances that he would agree A1W IIIV1C U1U4 AV UtI most expensive orchestra seats, and that most of the house would 'go to the public for even less cost.

The shrewd and veteran millionaire showman, Mr. Gibson, added that Philadelphia would be an ideal city to house the attraction due to the fact that the Negro population there was more progressive than in any other American municipality, and that also the nordic audiences would certainly patronize the house. I "The admiration for tha Negro's art, said Gaugin in a recent interview, is more apparent in Europe than in America, despite the fact that Americans continually shout that their country is great democracy. The individual Negro in Europe fs looked upon by the most aristocratic and autocratic individuals as a human being, and only In rare instances are expressions of prejudice heard and in these instances the fanatical statements come from peoplo of little consequence. I "This very state of affairs has prompted me to produce Negro entertainment for Europe, but before I undertake this task in Paris', or any othsr city on the ontincnt.
