It « ? e t ttoral At Afcyssttin Lyceum Gertrude Martin Wins Acclaim In Harrisburg Harnsburg, Pa.—A concert of unusual merit was' given Friday. December 14, in Fahnestock Hall by Gertrude Martin, the gifted young violinist of New York City, assisted by Robert S. Washington, a promising young baritone of this city,, with Lillian Ball at the piano for both artists. From the moment Miss Martin began her first number. Concerto No. 22 (first movement), by Viotti, the audience realized that it was listening to a musician who was a part of the music and instrument stie was playing. Schubert's "Ave Maria" and Kreisleris "Leibes- freud" were beautifully rendered, as were her remaining numbers. "Thais" by Massenet, "Southern Sketch" by Burleigh, and her con- cluding number, "Ballade arid Pol- onaise," by Viextemp. She was enthusiastically applauded, and re- sponded with two encores, "Sdhoen Rosemarin" by Kreisler, and "From the Canebrake, ,, by Gadmar. , Mr. Washington, who has a deep baritone voice chose for his offer- ings, "Dio Possente" by Gounod, and "Der Ertkonlg," by Schubert, whicn he sang superbly and for whkh he wag heartily applauded.

This year, however, Negro Spirit- uals are tD be sung at Christmas entertainments, and all over Lon- don entertainers are struggling to master the Dixie accent before Christmas Day come*. One can hear Negro songs being played on a hundred pianos, strum- med on a hundred mandolins, sung by a hundred voices in studios above Charing Cross Road or Shaftesbury avenue, in the theatre district. Everywhere they are singing about corn fields and cot- ton fields, about Kentucky and Virginia and Alabama. The reason is not difficult to find. Several months ago the song "Ole Man River" came to London in a musical show, and scored one of those phenomenal successes which fall to the lot of one, song every two or three years. Imme- diately imitations were written, with the intention of making in- roads upon "Ole Man River's" pop- ularity. There is one called "Roll Away, Clouds," whicli is making a success all its own. Others like "Just Give, the Southland to Me", are based upon the old Spirituals and will be used in numerous Christmas pantomimes. The London public which goes into ecstacies over a new song hit has expressed an unmistakable preference for rolling .sweeping melodies with a dash of sentiment and a dash of pathos, such as it finds in rise Negro songs. For the time being the, writers of comic songs are'traveling a rocky road; their public wants to' hear no more about mothers-in-law, or the younger generation, or the wire r less or movie*. London's song audiences this year like living below the Mason- Dixon line; and those old gentle- men who bristle at the thought of London's rapid "Amrericaniiation" have another alarming sympton to jot down in their mental note- books. At the recent election of officers held by the Clef Club at its club rooms, the following members were elected to fill offices for 1929: Ir- ving Williams, president; Robert Freeman, 1st vice president; Lloyd Grey, 2nd vice president; Joseph Breen, treasurer; Lutoer Blake, fin- ancial secretary; Harry N. Poin- aetta, recording secretary; Harry Haynes, sargeaat-at-arms; Percy Robinson, custodian;, lay-members, board of managers—Lon Fuller, George Jackson and Hinman Smith Irving Williams, iamiliarly known as.' "Kid Sneeze," has been three sucessive times elected to fill the office of president. The "Kid" is a banjo player and entertainer, and individually has a large circle of patrons who regularly call for his Services. His election this 1 year proves conclusively that the mem- bers of the Clef Chfb are amply satisfied with his administration. And when the fact U considered that the governing board of the "Apex," whkh is the controlling and business factor of the Clef Club, is this year composed of the same men as the Clef Club's board of directors, this fact can be fur- ther cited as evidence of the con- fidence and dominance of "Kid Suede" ;in the organisation. Jim Hunt, the old campaigner, for some reason seems' to have lost his grip on she members of the or- ganization. Since the exit of Dea- con Johnson, and during the Dea- con's regime also, we think. Jim has always held tome office in the club. But at this election, Jim, nominated for the board of direct- ors, failed to qualify, as did Vic Joyner and Tom Fletcher. Mr. Hunfs margin of defeat was small but telliiyg.| At that, Jim did well Any time 73 persons vote, and 31 vote for a candidate it proves that Jim had others think- ing his way. Jim has been chair- man of the house committee for seven or eight years. This' is *n appointive position and rumor per- sists that Jim will not fill the posi- tion the ensuing term. A little more than fifty per cent of the members voted at the elec- tion. By ratio this indicated more interest than was shown at the N. A. M. A. election. Ed Campbell and his band* men- tioned in this column recently as having automatically expelled them- selves from the Union by accepting and -4aying a week's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre, had their d»e tried on Tuesday, December 11. by the Federation. Campbell argued nXat he inferred Sam Manning was acting as agent for Mr. Schiffman, manager of the theatre. Admitted that he had not known that Sam was' on the "un- fair* list of the local, not having read the Journal, etc. But Ed's pleadings were in vain, as he and his men were fined S2S each and reinstated to membership. Campbell and Jas men are con- sidered lucky to get off with so light a fine and hereafter they will surely investigate a contractor, and verify his' standing with the Union before accenting an engagement. John C Smith was haled to the trial board of Local 802 by Nee- ton, bass playaV. Nepton claimed John accepted him as a substitute on two engagements, one of wMeh he played, and John cancelled the oth- * r - , , At the trial. Nepton stated he played one job, at the closing pi whkh John accused him of "pack- ing up" his tuba too soon. Nepton apologiaed, although it was past the closing hour, and John gave him another date direct. The evening of the second date, Nepton phoned John for the time, which John re- fused to give, also disclaiming any knowledge of die subsequent date. The board decided against John, so Nepton will receive $10 tor a job he did not play, and John it $10 out of pocket. Nepton denies any animosity in the matter, but did not like the treatment accorded to him by John on the phone. Bonelli, trumpet player, requests the same prominence of his recov- ery as of his disability. You might recall that "Bones" and an auto got tangled on fit avenue and 50th street some weeks aigo. "Bones" emerged second best. Hospital, home, doctor, insurance company. When you ask Mr. Bonelli what indemnity he received the comers of his mouth merge with are lobes of each ear.

C—An audience of more than 300 greeted the Se- delta singers in their concert at the First Presbyterian Church, white. The singing of the; Negro spirit- uals showed fine training and the numbers presented by the- boys' glee club and quartet brought re- peated calls for encores. A little girl, Carrie Brice, gave an interest- ing account of "A Day at Sedalia." The singing of "Good night, Good night Beloved," by the girls' quar- tet was also much appreciated. Gertrude McBrown's readings drew the commendation of those present. The program reached its height in the singing of Amy Bailey, so- prano. She sang a number of se- lections including "Don Foun" and "My Lost Sheep". Rudolph Gas- ton Scott, young tenor, gave a good interpretation of two num- bers. Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, principal, of Palmer Memorial In- stitute, in an appealing address, told of the needs of the institution at Sedalia and thq work that it is doing in the educational field. The Hallelujah Chorus, which closed the program brought the audience to its feet and it applauded again and again. o Mrs. Ba^ey Lectures At Brooklyn Church Mrs. Caroline Bngley gave a travelogue at Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, December 13, telling of her recent trip to the Holy Land. She used a Victor Orthophonic in rendering several Spiritual* and an anthem. Novella Pinder, dramatic reader was featured! on the program, giv- ing "Mary Magdalene in Her Tower." Francis Kairson, bari- tone, sang "The'Penitent" and "The Holy City,'' with Vivian Shurtand at piano. —• '• e ' '•• St Marks Lyceum To Present fine Artists Che Antelope is one of the swiftest moving animals oi the forest The instinct of this animal is to never go at a slow pace.^ The, pur- suit of his enemies only tend to keep htm moving. The order of Antelopes of America, Inc. has made the same* great strides toward progress during the past four years. The latter part of the year, 1924, the idea of this order was born in the mind of Mrs. Belle, Phillips. As a result, a group of fourteen men and women were called together for the purpose of organizing a benevolent society, later named the Antelopes. At this time a temporary organization was formed, with John W. Smith, chairman. The officers were Mrs. Mary F. Harris, Rosa P. Peyton, Annie Boyd, Edna L. Haynes, Pennie, Woodruff, Lillian Pratis, Rosa L. Blocker, Bettie E. DeToscano, Miss Celeste Winston, Messrs Samuel Bright, John W. Smith, Jessie D. Phillips and Norman Sterrett. January 5, 1925, the order was duly chartered in the state of New York as a benevolent and fraternal organization. The above mem- bers were then made a permanent board of officers to govern the af- fairs of the order. The two outstanding Shelters in New York. City are the Nora F. Taylor and Live Oak. The membership of these two shelters has in- creased in leaps and bounds during the period of the organization. The number of members reaches upward into thousands. The Antel- opes have outgrown the State of New York and extended its activi- ties to several other states, where it is doing equally as well. This order has proved an asset to the communities in which it has been established. It has brought cheer to sick members and aid to bereaved families. The executive board is composed of fourteen men and women who have had years of experience in benqvolent and fraternal work and have made many sacrifices for benefit of the Order. New mem- bers added to the board are Mrs. Iola Upperman and Harry J. Edwards. Mrs. Mary F. Harris, one of the original members and faithful workers of the order died one year after the beginning of the order. The executive).officers are: John W. Smith, president; Mrs. B. E. DeToscano, vice-president; Jessie D. Phillips, financial secretary; Mrs. Rosa P. Peyton, treasurer; Mrs. Rosa L. Blocker, recording secretary; Mrs. Bejle Phillips, national organizer; Mrs. Lillian I* Pratis, organ- ising deputy; Trustees; Mrs. Pennie Woodruff, Anna Boyd, and Iola Upperman; Auditors: Mrs. Celeste Winston and Harry J, Edwards; Samuel L. Bright, deputy; Mrs. Edna L, Harper, chaplain. Great credit for progress and development of the Grand United Order of Antelpes of America, Inc., is due Counselor John William Smith, former member of the Board of Aldermen, N«w York City, who has labored day and night to perpetuate and advance interests of the Order. He has been signally successful in administering affairs of the national body through hie work as president of the executive board. A new record was nude tor the order Saturday night at the Lafay- ette Hall, .when a new Council consisting of about sixty members was set apart. The District Grand Master, Supreme Grand Lodge; Of- ficers and the subordinate lodges of this district took part in the ser- vices. This council was begun less than two months ago when eleven persons' responded to the call of Mrs. Mary Savage, Special Deputy Organiser of St. Johns. This council has been named Shi- loh Council No. 33, Grand United Order of St. Johns, and is destined to be one of the leading groups of the order under the guardianship of Mrs. Savage, who also organiz- ed White Oak Lodge, No. 17, and Tuxedo Lodge, No. 9. Mrs. Helen Jones, district deputy .acted as in- structress. After the initiation, the members and visitors were served a delici- ous collation by a committee. The following officers were elec- ted: David Mason, past worthy commander; Mrs. Julia Pasco, past worthy matron; Thomas James, worthy commander, Mrs. Sarah Harris, worthy matron; # W. J. Nicholson, vice-commander; Mrs. Rose Jordan, associate matron; Mrs. Orneada Holder, grand scribe; William Chisly, treasurer; J. H. Bracy, recording secretary; Mrs. Annie Gardey, prelate; Mrs. Bertha James, conductress; Mrs. Sarah Thompson, associate con- ductress; Mrs. Hattie Bough, door- keeper; Mrs. Maggie McCouchin, gate keeper; Mrs. Bessie Harrison, chairman of trustee committee.

TOW This is the time of the year when the thoughtful parent is lost in wonder as to the selection of Christmas toys for Johnny or Jane. Much care and thought should be given to this. Babyhood (0-6) also called "early childhood" and the "pre- school period," calls for toys which wash and iron and sweep and "keep bouse" too. Johnny is fas- cinated with iron trucks, iron fire engines, horse and; wagon, trains, construction sets, etc At this age for dramatic play a costume play suit is very acceptable also toy villages, and drums. Then there are rite games which instill ideas of good sportsmanship. Ten pins, puzzles, tiddledywinks, ringtoes, bean bag throw, are suitable.
