LEVY EUGENE WAYMAN JONES President Associate Director Executive Director Honoring DR. MARY CHURCH TERRELL Distinguished and Valiant Champion of Civil Rights DR. TERRELL WILL RECEIVE THE SOCIETY'S DIAMOND CROSS OF MALTA From the Washington (D.C.) Post, Sept. 23, 1953 "Many Washingtonians will celebrate Mary Church Terrell's ninetieth birthday today with a warm feeling of affection and gratitude for a great member of this community. Hers has been--and continues to be--an extraordinary career of public service. She was in the forefront of the fight for women's suffrage. She was one of the first two women and the first Negro woman to be appointed to the District Board of Education. She was one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and served as the first president of its Washington chapter. She was a principal in the Thompson restaurant case which this year won for Negroes the right to equality of service in restaurants in the Nation's Capital. There have been many battles and many victories in Mrs. Terrell's long and energetic life. This is a happier and a more harmonious community for her efforts. It may fairly be said of her that when she fought bigotry it was never with hatred; she met leathery and prejudice with spirit and understanding. And she won the hearts as well as the minds of men. The celebration of her birthday does honor to the community she has served so generously and so well." In Philadelphia for memberships, call the Chief of Area nearest you: WEST MRS. ALLEN P.

The day ends, the blue veil of night falls, and the Queen prepares to retire at the entrance to the Castle of Pearls. Allahara, sorceress to the Queen then makes invocation to the King of Dreams that the sleep of the queen be filled with colorful visions of exotic places and marvelous beings. The Starlighters in pointed caps, with their princess leading them, prepare to dispatch the volatile Quicksilver and lovely Blue Mist to escort the King of Dreams to the castle. The Castle of Pearls rises as if by magic into view, and the Golden Lantern Bearers on order of the Marshal to the King blaze a bright way for His Majesty. The Planetaries in curious garb step arrogantly forth as the Venusmaids float across the scene. Then His Majesty, garbed in the colours of the night, appears in all of his splendour. Imperiously he commands that the vision of the Queen be one in the jewelled isles of the Caribbees- and as if by magic (which it really is) the brooding drums of Haiti are heard. Ventoome, the mambo priestess invokes the Caribbean Dream Festival, and there appears the Marmarah, the Dancers of the Mask, the Queen of Cats, The Black Panthers, The Elegant Tigers and the Pumas. The dream closes with the fabulous Latines. Suddenly terror strikes! Black, crawling figures scream. . . the ebony form of Knightmayr, prince of evil appears. His motley, unsavoury court cavorts demoniacally. Shivili and the Ebongors, Elstarte, La Tormente, The Knightnymphs, Nixos, Perperi, Ariadne, the Knightclouds and the infamous Lim Lims. . . all are here. The King of Dreams is outraged; he calls for the King's Marshal to defend the sleep of the Queen. A battle ensues. . . the Marshal fails, and the demons rejoice. But he rises, and fells the obscene Knightmayr. His Satanic Majesty is placed in chains. . . his hellish court flees in disorder, and the Queen sleeps in peace. Triumphant, the King of Dreams retires, and orders the dancers of the "Firefly" Cotillion to appear to close the Queen's vision. Magically, they do. . . and as a rosy dawn appears, the visions fade. It is day. 5 The Ballet Fantasy "KING OF DREAMS" Coordinated by LEIGH PARHAM SCENE I.

D. , Pastor CONSTRUCTIVE WORK This Record of "Good Works" Under the direction of miss Burroughs, as Corresponding Secretary of the Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, and as President of the National Training School for Women and Girls, the women have this monument of achievements as a result of fifteen years' work: 1. They organized in Richmond, Virginia, September 1900 for self help and to do general uplift work. 2. Have collected $225,000 since 1900 and spent it for Missions and Christian Education. (This does not include any money spent by the State Conventions for missions and education.) 3. Have kept from two to seven foreign girls in American schools since 1905. 4.; Purchased six acres of land in the District of Columbia and are now operating the National Training School for Woman and Girls. Have spent $98,619.83 in the five years for land, buildings (5) , equipments and running expenses. This is the only piece of property owned at the National Capital by Colored Americans throughout the country, and devoted to educational and uplift work. The opportunity for large service at a strategic point is unequalled. 5. Have sent annually, to missionaries on foreign fields, boxes containing bolts of cloth, ready made garments and school supplies. 6. Have distributed more good literature among colored women than any other organization of Negroes in the world. Millions of pages have been printed and scattered broadcast. 7. Have developed a National organization that has grown in favor and efficiency. 8. Operate the only Social Settlement in the entire country, financed by Negroes and employing trained workers. 9. Operate the only school that ever reached National SCOPE and NOTICE without depending on white friends to carry the financial burden. 10. Operate the only NATIONAL , educational institution presided over by a waman of the race. Enrolled (1915) students from 27 states and two foreign countries. 11. Have more foreign girls in training than any other race group. [*W. H. Moses 4123 Pawelton Ave. Phil Pa.*] A Tribute To Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington D,C.

[*The Refreshment Bars are open as usual during the performance, but alcoholic liquors cannot be served after 2.30 in the afternoon or after 10 o'clock in the evening.*] [*"SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED IN THE AUDITORIUM." Extract (4) from the rules made by the Lord Chamberlain.*] "UNCLE SAM" –a Foreword. ¶ This play was produced in the United States early last year, and is the outstanding success of plays dealing with the War staged in that country. It is as typical of a certain phase of American life as Mr. Harold Terry's brilliant comedy "General Post" was of our own. Uncle Sam was confronted by a greater problem from German influence and penetration than all other Allied nations. America's population of German descent, numbering over ten millions, embarrassed her, almost beyond belief in France and England, with German intrigue against the Allied cause. It required something more than internment camps to meet the situation. Fortunately, the vast majority of German-Americans had left Germany to escape oppression and militarism. Realising this fact, America made it plain that Germany must be defeated unless Americans–including German Americans–were also to suffer the fate prepared for Europe. How at least one stubborn German- American took this lesson to heart is made clear in the comedy of "Uncle Sam," the story of which is a domestic one, and shows the effect of the War on two families living in New York, and incidentally illustrates the danger of German intrigue and the utter callousness of German methods. ______________________________________ THE BOX OFFICE (W.H.

LECTURE-RECITAL On THE HISTORY AND ORIGIN of NEGRO FOLK SONGS By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN EDUCATIONAL ENTERTAINING ARTISTIC For terms write CLEVELAND G. ALLEN 302 WEST 138th STREET NEW YORK, N. Y. Cleveland G. Allen was born in Greenville, S.C., in March, 1887 and is a graduate of the Union High School of that city. He came north with his brother in 1902, and continued his education in the New York Evening High School, where he won honors in oratory. He was further educated at New York University and Columbia. In 1920 he entered Columbia University for a special course in Religious Education, graduating in 1923. He has also done post graduate work in Religious Education. He was highly recommended for his ability by several of the professors of New York University. He has been engaged in newspaper work for several years and has been correspondent of the leading newspapers of the country. He conducted a National News Bureau for a number of years which supplied news to both the white and Negro newspapers. He served for several years as a publicity man for the late Booker T. Washington. In 1911 he was the only Negro newspaperman present at the Eucumenical Methodist Conference, which met in Toronto, Can. For nine years he was a member of the editorial staff of the Home News and was the first Negro to be employed on that newspaper. While serving on the staff of the Home News he was able to change the attitude of that newspaper towards the Negro. He is now a member of the staff of Musical America. His articles have appeared in the leading newspapers and periodicals of the country, including the New York Herald Tribune, Musical America, Current History Magazine, the Christian Science Monitor, The Zion Herald, Southwestern Christian Advocate, Opportunity Magazine, and the leading newspapers of the country. He has been highly praised as a writer by the leading editors of the country. In 1918 he was decorated by the American Red Cross Society for distinguished service, by Miss Isabel Lowden, sister of former Governor Lowden of Illinois. He attended the Red Cross School of Information, from which he received a certificate. For two years he lectured for the New York Board of Education on Negro Music. He has made a thorough study of Negro Music, and has lectured on this subject before some of the leading schools and colleges of the country. In 1921 he won a scholarship at the Angelus Academy of Music, for which over several hundred competed. In 1919, while attending New York University, he nominated Frederick Douglass for the Hall of Fame. Douglass is the first Negro to be nominated for such honors. He owes what success he has attained to the influence of his mother of whom he was very fond, and the interest of his brother. He is compiling material to write a book on Negro Music and other subjects. TESTIMONIALS "Mr. Allen has made a thorough study of Negro Music and knows how to give an audience in about thirty minutes the best he found in his studies. He is not only well informed on Negro Music, but he knows how to sing it. No audience among my people can spend an hour more profitably than listening to Mr. Allen talk about and sing these songs. "A. CLAYTON POWELL, "Pastor, Abyssinian Baptist Church." "Dear Mr. Allen: "I wish to express the appreciation of our Music Department of your work in our Assemblies, Wednesday morning, in giving your lecture recital on "The History and Origin of Negro Folk Songs.' It was most interesting and instructive, and if we can arrange a later date, should very much like to have you repeat the program for another group of girls in another Assembly. I have mentioned the success of your work to Mr. Zabriske, and he joins me in the hope that you can come again. "EMMA C. CARON, "Music Department, "Washington Irving High School." "Dear Mr. Allen: "These folk songs are so beautiful and you are so capable in the matter of interpretation that I would think you would have fine success in the work that you have undertaken. "DR. JOHN HAYNES HOLMES." "At the last meeting of the Globe Music Club, Cleveland G. Allen, a native of South Carolina and a student of the colored institutions of the South, gave a talk on the music of his people, singing many of the spirituals, songs of courage, songs of hope and lullabies. He was intensely interesting. "New York Evening Globe." Mr. Allen has also received comments from the New York University Daily News, The Kingston Freeman, Cheney Norman School, Fine Arts Club of Atlanta, Ga., and Tuskegee Institute. STARVING EUROPE.
