Gilpin Here Next Week in "Emperor Jones" Adolph Klauber will offer Eugene O'Neill's sensational play, "The Em peror Jones," with Charles S. Gilpin, the actor of whom we have heard so much, a combination which will give local plavgoers an opportunity for an unusual experience in the theater. This attraction comas to the Metro politan theater November 19. It -will be seen in this city exactlv as it was presented for an entire season at the Princess theater, New York. Critics everywhere extolled the merits of both olav and star. Here are a few excerpts: New York Sun: "After seeing 'The Emperor Jones/ we'll guarantee that you'll never listen to the tom-tom, whatever the circum stances, with the same indifference that you did in the past." Pitts burgh Leader: "Every emotion is sounded by Gilpin, he passes from braggadocia to the kind of courage that strives to whip itself into life in the face of horrors, from insolence to a nobility of his own, and from cringing terror to a last desperate prayer for release. It is easy to un derstand whv this actor should have been chosen as one of the ten hon ored by the Drama League last sea- son." Buffalo News: "Here is real red blood coursing through our the atrical veins instead of the usual anemic flow. It is no bubble enter tainment of light and airv folderol. It is solid substance. Gilpin rises to the heights in the course of this play. He shows in a moving way, the steps by which the character is carried to complete demoralization. Gilpin's appearance in 'The Emperor Jones,' is one of the events of "the season." Baltimore News: "As acted bv Gil pm the play rises to lofty heights. Every word, everv shading of ex pression, every gesture is made to count." Louisville Courier-Journal: "The scenes are impressive and the stage manager has created a telling atmosphere. Charles S. Gilpin as Brutus Jones, gives a verv clear, a verv sound portrayal." Cincinnati Enquirer: "Charles Gilpin gives a fine nerformance in this exacting role. His portrayal of the shrewd, humorous and confided emperor in the first act, is followed by a skillful graduation of fright and agonv, as he makes his terrified way through the fearsome scenes evolved by his imagination." St. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat: "Charles S. Gilpin proves himself an actor of great ability. His voice in itself is a fortune." Milwaukee Sentinel: "Charles Gil-( pm as Jones, presents a character sturv that is one of the finest things on the stage today." You Needed It Then, You Need It Now One phase of the work of the Vet erans' Bureau wlifch is receiving very little consideration from the public but what will eventually develop into an enormous project is government insurance. During the war, approx imately fouj million seven hundred thousand applications for insurance were received, aggregating a total of forty-one billion dollars. About 156,000 veterans died or became per manently and totally disabled while this insurance was in force and bene fits amounting to $1,360,000,000 have been awarded these men or their beneficiaries. The largest commer cial life insurance company in the TTrited States has less than four bil lion dollars of insurance of the usual life forms in force. Eventually the service men are bound to realize the full value of what Uncle Sam is of fering them, and will take advan tage of the liberal reinstatement pro~ visions. The government's insur ance business, then, will run to per haps more than thirty billion total. Right here in the tenth district, U. S. Veterans' Bureau, which com prises the states of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana, there are 238,000 men eligible to carrv this in surance. Since January 1st of this year, about three hundred veterans in Minneapolis alone have reinstated their insurance, therebv reclaiming about $2,300,000 of insurance. I The Veterans' Bureau cannot pay premiums for the men who have dropped their insurance, but it can assist them to a clearer understand ing of the necessity for life insurance and the unexcelled phase of the gov ernment contracts. fS^^t^jS^ yJlSSSj^ EXHIBITION OFST. PAULBUS,LEAGUE GRAND SUCCESS CROWDS JAM UNION HALL TO CAPACITY TO WITNESS FIRST AFFAIR OF ITS KIND EVER HELD IN TWIN" CITIES. Mrs. Nellie Gibbs Wins Diamond Ring As First Prize in Popularity Contest. That the business exhibition and style show held at Union hall on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of this week under the auspices of the St. Paul Business League was the premier event of the season, goes without saying. Never before in^tha Twin Cities has anything been given that has interested the people indi vidually as did the business exhibi tion. The plan of the St. Paul Business League was to have an exhibition of the businesses of St Paul owned and operated bv colored people, a style show, prominent sneakers and a pop ularity contest, to which end it was carried out. The co-oneration of all persons in business and members of the league was solicited and the result was that mere than thirtv booths representing over fiftv different lines of business were set up in the hall. Wednesday evening Mayor Nelson was to have been the principal speak er, but on account of illness could not attend. However he was ably represented bv his secretary, Mr. Thomas, who echoed the Mayor's sentiments in a very eloquent way, which was highlv appreciated. A great deal of interest was cen tered in the stvle review, which was one of the main features, and a doz en or more charming Twin City voung ladies were the participants. The models wore everything from pretty silk breakfast apparel to street suits and fur wraps. The very prettv and attractive models who displayed their charms and the beautiful gowns were: Mrs. Grace Gibbs. Mrs. Beatrice Gibbs, Mrs Nellie Gibbs. Mrs. Lucelia Web- *r, Mrs. Georgia Richardson, Mrs. Eva Nelson, Mrs. Aimee Hall. Mrs. Geraldine Pickett, Misses Mattie Murray, Elizabeth Murray, Georgia Miller, Minnie Tobie, Christine Cox. Elizabeth Cox. Dorothy Svgnor and little Laura Hall and Edith Webb. The hats worn by the models were made bv Mrs. Tdith Pearmon. Following the review, dancing and inspection of the wares exhibited in the booths was participated in until midnight. Thursday evening the crowd that iammed the hall gave proof that the Twin City folks were interested, came to see and hear, and that the affair was undoubtedlv a success. The crowd was so large that it was ouite late before the style review was nut on, but it was enjoved by every ore. Following the review the awarding of the prizes in the popularity con test took place. The first prize, a diamond ring, was awarded to Mrs. Nellie Gibbs of Minneapolis, for bringing in the largest number of votes. The second prize, a gold mesh bag. was awarded Miss Dorothv Syg nor for bringing in the second largest number of votes. And the third prize of a manicure set was awarded Mis Lucille Roach. Every person on entering the hall was given a ticket with a number on and the awarding of the prizes to the ones that held the lucky numbers then took place. Each exhibitor gav awav as a nrize. wearing ap rarel. food, personal service or credit amounting to several dollars, in each of their respective lines, to the lucky ones. On account of the large crowd, dancing was impossible in the hall, so th'e voung people went upstairs and Moore's orchestra furnished the music for the dancing. Some of the garments worn by the models in the stvle review were their personal nropertv. Q$her garments wpre disolaved through the courtesy of Collins Style Shop, Weiner's Style Shop. Minneapolis: Fettman and Curme. Winter's Fashion Shop, Min neopolis, and the Gamossi Shoo. The materials and booths were furnished by Thompson Yards, Inc. The St. Paul Business League and the committee in charge of the af fair are to be highly complimented upon the verv efficient and commend able wav in which they handled the successful affair.
