that dramatics is one of the most
far-reaching activities, particularly
in Neegro centers.
The Negro, has a rich heritage of

i When I was a senior in Emerson

iJews, Ttalians, Negroes -and those
{who claimed superior blood. In
“watching these groups it was al
tways interesting to note that the
Negro children were particularly
tiatented, displaying execptional
rhivthm and dramtic ability.
Last summer, while I was direct

I ponder over the utterances of those

I!i:t their heads above the maze of

educator who provides us with the
1tools today which we must use in
| the tomorrow which .re of vast im
{portance to Negroes. Those state
tments have added significance be
f,r‘uuso they come from remote and |
iunrclat(‘d SOUrces.
! Dr. Ambrose Caliver. rescarch
worker in education at Teacher's
College, Columbia University, has
|bcen telling us some interesting
|things about higher education a
’mnn;{ Negroes. He has just con
feluded a study of existing condi-
Itions among 3,000 Negro studenis
!m 50 institutions. We are told that
| the last decade there are now ap
jwith an increase of 150 per cent in
meximu'r\!y 20,000 Negroes attend
‘mg colleges and universities. Dr.
ICaliver asserts that “because of li
lnitations in the field of life work,
fth:’s army of students turn their
jeducational efforts along narrow
,’rhuxmols This must be recognized
’nnd corrected by the schools if the
Face expeels to keep abreast of this

(the channels if opportunity have
ibeen narrower. If we change the

Imust be changed to fit the curri

{gin to change. For what is more
{tragic than the oft repeated spec
'toele of the trained one perform
ing the {asks of the menial, or per
haps barely existing in a state of
threadbare gentility.
:} On the heels of Dr. Caliver's ob
servations, comes what seems to be
the answer to our query. An edi
(torial 1n ecne of New York's widely
circulated dailies discusses the re
cent ordination of Father Joseph
Faye, a Senegaiese Negro, born in
Africa 24 yeats ago, and now a
fully ordained priest officiating in
the magnificent Paris cathedral of
Notre Dame. The editorial com

The vale of cominunity drama

estimated. In speaking of drama
tics in general, an eminent critie
cays: “Aesthetically, the actor |gs
awakened to the beautiful and
worthwhile in literature: morally,
he is aroused to higher standards
of living; physically, he responds,
realizing a well-poised, self-con
trolled body necessary to play a
character part; mentally, he attaing
alertness, which results from the
foregoing attributes.”
The field of community dramatics
is one of the greatest fields for self
realization. An actor cannot in
terpret his role effectively without
developing self-realization. Presi
dent Henry Lawrence Southwhich
ays in a recent article in “Baker’s
Drama-Gram:” “Even as the soul
of a mother’s lullaby lies locked
in the printed notes upon a page
and is released when the mother's
love sings it, so the actor reveals
life's mysteries in terms of sound
and sigh. Interpretation is the
path of realization.”
Among the many personal bene
fits from community dramatics is
the satisfaction of the play in
stinct. Whether young or old,
every normal individual likes to
play. Play is a primitive instinct.”

Well, now, if educators, white
newspapers and business men will
extend the hand of fellowship and
pread the doctrine of fair-play, a
new day will come for both white
and black Americans. Negro: stu
dents will eagerly grasp the oppor
tunity for training in new fields.
Perhaps this depression is produc
ing something besides heartaches
and deprivations !
It will be welcome news to some
that the Republicans of the 10th
Arsembly District have come alive
sufficiently to hold their annual
election. You will recall that it
was in this district that, in the re
cent election, the Democrats anni
hilated Francis FE. Rivers., ex-as
semblyman, and Fred R. Moore, ex
alderman, thereby bringing into
Tammany ranks what had always
been considered a rock-ribbed
Republican District. With the dist
rict suffering from internal dis
sension at the time of the election,
‘none will deny that the final blow
was pretty serious. But what the
Democrals do not know is that
Republicans have more lives than
the cat family. Plans are on foot
for & new club house. An appeal
was made for contributions to com
plete the initial payment. It is in
deed sad that a few Democrats
were not around to witness the re
sponsored to that apneal. The way
thoce loyal Republicans laid per
feetly good American greenbacks
and checks on that table was a re
velation. If there is a depression,
evidently the Republicans of the
19th Assembly District of New York
City have not heard about it Ju
have been thinking that mavhe
som2 of those renegade Republi
cans are not going to make lq'ch
good Democrats after all. 1933 is
still in the offing and we shall see
what we shall see. é
