This makes Broadway of increasingly greater news impor tancs to Negroes in general, liere was a time when tne oniy negro peneral interest on Broadway was a a a Negro musical comeay. inai nme has passed.

Just as Negro newspapers gradually developed and launched their theatrical depart ments; so in time will they, of necessity have regular Broadway critics and reporters. "Golden Dawn is one of the Broadway shows with a substantial Dart of its cast made up of Negroes. there is not the slightest suggestion that it is a Ne eto show. Of 140 people in the cast. 24 are colored.

To thise who have missed J. Accoe frokn Har lem, let me say he can be seen nichtlvias a native of East! Africa in Golden Dawn." There I is also Geraldine Goodinir, well known Har lem belle, who is easily recognized in the cast. In an ensemble of English, French and Italian ers. German soldiers and As lean Native men and wpmen women of Mombasa, and nurses and Sisters these 2 1 Harlem Negroes Cgure.) lne entire snow is staged rn scenes from German East Africa, which shows the Temple Cave, the jangie. ar.d the Tree of Mulunghu.

The principal characters are white. The story revolves around Golden Datrn, i a. white girl born in Africa who was brought tip to believe she is of African blood: who falls in love with a white soldier, is made queen of the African native tribe against her will tecaosa it is thought she is part native; but who is finally liberated and given free dom to marry her lover after a se ries or dramatic incidents unfold to her that she is white. The striking of the show are the thrilling African music. which is executed in a truly marvel ous manner, the costumes and set tings, which import one into Africa itself; the singing, and the tom tom dance; and the ms.ght into Native rites and customs.

A show truly worth seeing, quite apart from the fact that a number of Harlem Ne groes find employment in d.gnined surroundings. NEW STARS FOR COLUMBIA CO. The Columbia Phonograph Company has added three new Race stars to its cataloc ue. uiiams for his personal magnetism, though he has a style all his own.
