RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

500 ENJOY PAGEANT BY TOWNSEND SERVICE "The Growth of a Race," the pageant given by the community choral and orchestra of the James M. Townsend branch of the Community Service was presented last evening In the coliseum before an audience of BOO persons, made up of representative citizens of both races who greeted the performers with enthusiastic applause. 'Mrs. Ethel R. Clark, in charge of the Community Service work in the James M. Townsend branch, who originated and conducted the affair, acted as pianist in the orchestra, and the pageant scenes were directed by Miss Ada Crogman, who came to Richmond from the national office of Community Service in New York city for this purpose. ' The pageant, presented in five episodes and nine scenes, epitomized the growth of the negro race in the United States from the time when the race was forcibly brought to the states by slave traders to the present in which they are an integral part of the nation and an important element in the tatter's citizenship. The episodes were staged against a background of greenery, the Herald, taken by Joseph Booth appearing before the curtain preceding the presentation of each scene to give the explanatory comment. This comment wa3 a brief synopsis of the history of the race and of high informational value. One of the most interesting phases of the performance was the appearance of various notable figures, each of whom was greeted with warm applause and who included Paul Cuffee by Joshua Brown; Frederick Douglass by William Harrison; Paul Dunbar by Cornelius Jackson; Booker Washington by Lewis Scott, Sojourner Truth by Mrs. Mary Moore; Phyllis Wneatley by Miss Helene Perkins; and Benjamin Banneker by Merle Okey. Mrs. Grace Furman acted as Queen Elizabeth in the episode in which she knights John Hawkins for his part in a successful slave sale with Orville Goens as "Sir John Hawkins." In the other episodes William Harrison impersonated the "slave trader"; Boston Dethridge, "Crispus Attucks"; Carl Doty, the "Civil War Sergeant" and Everett Goens, "Joshua Brown"; Cecil Robinson and Harold Nickens, members of the "Free African Society." The musical phases of the pageant were splendidly done, the orchestra, Special Prices on TIRES Chenoweth Auto Co. 1105 Main St. Phone 1925 Thistlethwaite's The Original Cut-Rate E VERY-DAY PRICES in Effect at All 7 Stores SHAMPOOS Wild Root 49c Palm Olive 45c Q-Ban . 49c Mulsified Cocoanut Oil. 43c Packer's Tar 49c ALL SCRAP TOBACCO, OfT 3 for Z5C immmssmmssim.

under the direction of Burton J. Howard, playing with precision and harmonic effect Mr. Howard, in his violin solo, an arrangement of the Negro melody, "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," displayed his talents as a musician. : The music was all racial in charac ter and the numbers given by the! choral society were especially fine. ' The closing number, "Listen to the Lambs," given by the chorus when the "Community Service scene" was presented, was received by the audience with long continued applause for the fine ensemble effects, the exquisitely sustained melodic tone, and the precision of attack. Two other numbers were especially fine the vocal trio made up of Mr3f Carrie Beasley, Alice Crosby and Eva Saines, in "I'm So Glad Trouble Don't Last Always," and "Steal Away," by a quartette made up of Everett Goens, Joshua Brown, Harold Nickens and Cecil1 Robinson. One of the features of the evening was the impersonation of Abraham Lincoln by William Furman in the prelude between episodes two and three.

(By Associated Press) NEW ORLEANS, La.. June 23.
