twenty-five members, under direc

sophisticated theatre-goers as a
sensational success.
Typical examples of the favora

the following paragraphs:
"This West Indian Macbeth is
the most colorful, the
most startling of any perfor
mance of that great tragedy ever
given on this continent"—Burns
Mantle, of the Daily News.
"The production of this odd Mac

Foord who recently whipped
Jack Peterson for the title, was
later found to be under contract
for a fight in October or Novem

culty remaining is in staging the

terest among Britishers should

A contract is understood to have

"These 150 acrors who are led by
Maurice Kills as 'Macbeth,’ and the
beautiful and talented Kdna Thom

garbed in the military costumes of
the Napoleonic regime, and present
a colorful extravaganza. Their
sombre brown and bronze color,
seen in the light so fittingly toned
and arranged, lends itself readily
to the heightening of the
realism and beauty of every scene
in this most extraordinary play.
“Both Mr. Kills and Miss Tho

and so thoroughly interpret the
character roles in which they are
starred, that were the Bard of

sentation of the play, he would no
doubt be amazed to discover what

carnation of the characters he so
powerfully depicted in the days of
long ago.
"Only those who attend the pre
sentation can possibly gain the
proper concept of the marvelous
abilities of depicting possessed by
the entire cast, who thanks to the
sponsorship of the Works Progress
Administration, have gained for
themselves a rare opportunity to
display their talents to great ad
vantage, while at the sume time
they are gainfully employed.
"‘Macbeth,’ as played by the Ne
gro troupe of actors, is really .<
powerful tragedy faithfully portry
ing the greed for power the sub
servience of serviles, the machina
tions and plottingsof a wily and
hypocritical woman —her power
over an easily swayed man, who
wants the things he does not de
serve; the glory, the splendor the
mysticism—the blood—and then
the final pay-off—'for the wages
of sin is death.’”
The Federal Theatre Project, in
presenting this play, with its great
cast of Negro artists, has inaugu
rated an enterprise which In the
opinion of thousands who have
seen the production, not only fills
a great need in the theatrical world
but also serves to bring home to
the people the inate and acute
abilities possessed by colored ar
tists.

SCRIBBLINGS
(By WM. T. PATRICK, .Ir.)
Recently Jesse Owens made pub
lic his announcement to turn to the
stage, postponing his college car
eer until the proposed vaudeville
tour has been completed. Many
questions come to fore regarding
the sprint star’s decision. Will the
stage tour be successful? Will his
amateur status be jeopardized? If
so, who will take his place at the
head of the sprinters? A nation
wonders.
Four years ago another Olympic
champion sprinter, Eddie Tolan,
hailed from coast to coast for his
great feat at Los Angeles, turned
to the stage as a means of the
reaping qf a fortune through the
generosity-of Me--many enthusias
tic admirers. After a few appear
ances in the East, Tolan was forc
ed to abandon the stage because the
public refused to accept him is
their hero in this new fieid. He
turned to professional footracing
and captured the world title iu
Australia; however little money
was forthcoming from this venture.
Thus Tolan’s career as a profes
sional ended without marked fin
ancial reward.
Owen’s Welcome
In contrast, Owens while under
fire of the AAU officials returns
from Europe on the magnificent i
I liner, Queen Mary, and is extend
l ed a sincere welcome at the harbor, i
I Jack Dempsey, representing the I
New York mayor, La Cluardia, was I
■ there to greet him as well as many
) officials from Cleveland, his home
town. Governor Davy is reported
to be raising a fund with which to
buy Owens a home to show the ap
preciation that the whole state of
Ohio has for his great exploits. At
the harbor in New York he was pre
sented with a gold watch valued
at SSOO. Upon his return to Cleve
land he was accorded the greatest
welcome since Lindbergh. A huge
street parade was held in his hon
or. A job in the Ohio legislature j
which he had been holding dur
ing college still awaited him. No,
Tolan was not quite so fortunate
upon his return.
Should Owens’ amateur standing
be jeopardized through this stage
appearances who will take his place
as premier sprinter? At this
writing there are but three Negroes
who stand a chance to acquire his
titles; Peacock, Johnson, or Robin
son.
