Eddie met Sam Loveman. biographer of the novelist, James Branch Cabell of Richmond.

Va. (good friend and neighbor of Ellen Glasgow), and Sam and Eddie began to go around together. Naturally, Loveman, be ing a literary man. had numerous contacts, and In the course of time took Eddie to see Mr. and Mrs.

Harrison Kerr in Brooklyn. The Kerrs were from Ohio, the home of Loveman. Mrs. Kerr Is also known by her maiden name, Jeanne McHugh Mr. Kerr Is founder of the Society of Teachers and Composers, Is a distinguished musician, teacher and composer, and Mrs.

Kerr is a teach er of English in a private school Eddie being a newspaper man. and a young fellow of wide experience for his years, having played In "Porgle."

Three days after the Appellate division upheld Judge Toney, Hughes was out of his job. He was succeeded by another colored man. "Jim" Fer rebee.

Hughes Is said to have collapsed when he heard the news that he had lost his case. In the fields of architecture, dance, drama, literature, music, painting and sculpture. The names include Eva La Galllenne. Charles Wled and Mrs. Kerr suggested to him and Loveman that they start a magazine for artists and writers.

No sooner said than done Mr. Kerr got his society, which had the back lng of Mrs. Amelia von Ende, a wealthy Polish woman, who was a great lover of art, to sponsor the magazine. Mrs. Von Ende, who died in New York last August at the age of 78, was the wife of Heln rich von Ende.

"musician and writer and mother of Herwegh von Ende, the violinist. She was a pianist, composer and teacher and lectured extensively on the arts and wrote for many of the foremost American and European literary and mu sical periodicals. At about the age of 30 she was "among the first of her sex to champion the cause of Walt Whitman here and abroad and was largely responsible for his introduction to the German literary publio It was probably because of this liberal backlnsr that Eddie was taken Into the editorial sanctum. Mr. Kerr's outline of the policy In the Eagle Interview shows that art.

from his point of view, is above col or. He says: "If it Is a question of literary merit we will take the unknown author. Anyone who sub mits work is given real consideration. We aren't interested in real Ism to the exclusion of other schools of expression. Our idea is that the artistic can be equally good, regard less of Idiom.

We do not arbl trarlly exclude the conservative or the ultra. Any sincere effort of lit erary value is welcome. We are not trying to back any particular group. We are not connected with any particular movement. The name of the magazine.

explains our attitude fairly comprehensive ly. We want It to be representative of the times." When Eddie was seen for this In terview at his home, 547 W. 141st Street, In Harlem, he said that col ored writers like Counte Cullen, Langs ton Hughes and Bruce Neu gent, would be among the future contributors. Eddie wears his new laurels with ease and grace. He has lone been Interested in the theater, anttitost of his contributions are in that field aitnougn ne does review some books.

Book publishers are giving the magazine more and more recog nition, and as a result the books for review continue to increase in number. The books are divided be tween the editors to be read and reviewed, and at the time of this Interview Mr. Perry had on his ta ble Van Loon's "Geography;" "From Flushing to Calvary," by Edward Dahlberg, and "Dark Lustre." by Geoffrey Barnes, for review. He was surrounded by scores of books most of them recent publications, but among them were I few rare volumes a first edition of Gautier. autographed copies of the limited hand printed editions of Nancy Cunard's work.

European books on art. etc. In his newspaper days Eddie started the habit among Broadway theaters to give tickets to Negro dramatic critics to all shows rather than just to colored shows. It was In this way that he attended near ly all the shows on Broadway and most of the best concerts. Mr.

Loveman. who has recently retired from the editorial board of the magazine to devote himself ex cluslvely to his job as director of the rare editions department of Dauber ac Pine Book Shops, Inc 68 Fifth Avenue, leaving only Ed die and Mr. and Mrs. Kerr in charge, has given Eddie several rare copies of books published abroad. Loveman lives in the ex elusive Columbia Heights section of Brooklyn, but still comes to Harlem to see his friends.

He met the late Mme. Alella Walker through Eddie. They can say what they please about Ashing being a lazy man's job, but you never heard of a man getting in trouble while fishing. spells Manchuria wrong. It should be spelled "Manchukouo." That's pretty near making it spell Tokio.
