Lee Show

TRENTON, N. J. ~ANP ~
Canada Lee~s Show ~The Duchess
of Malfi,~ in which the Negro
actor portrays a white man, was
cancelled out at the Wilmington
Playhouse, where it had been
scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, October 7-8.

F. E. Cavanaugh, manager of]

the theater, denied that prejudice caused the cancellation. ~The
show was scheduled for a MonGay and Tuesday night, ~ he said,
~and we seldom do any business
on those nights. Also I only got
a wire last Tuesday about book- ing the show and _ I tentatively
accepted it. But them I decided
there wasn~t enough time to
publicise it, since it~s a pretty
big show. This is my first.year
as a theatcr manager and I don~t
want a flop.~

The play in which Lee plays
opposite Elizab2th Bergner opened in Boston. It is to play Trenton instead of Wilmington and is
scheduled to open at the Barrymore theater in New York on
October 15.

used to subdue him when he
became unruly. ~I hit him across
the front of the head after he
attempted to take away my
blackjack,~ Shull declared. ~I

cracked him across the head.~

He conceded that the blow
might have. landed orf Woodard~s
eyes, because he remembers they
were swollen the next day when
he brought the prisoner before
Mayor H. E. Quarles in recorder~s court to pay a $50 fine. He
said the Negro vet had complained about his stomach and
eyes, and that he was nauseated. A doctor suggested that he
be taken to a. hospital and the
police chief took him to the

Liberia Needs
Help: Bishop

RALEIGH, N. C. ~ ANP ~
The Rt. Rev. Bravid W. Harris,
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Missionary district of Liberia
in a sermon at St. AugusStine~s
college Surfday told the students
that the submerged people of Liberia, the rest of the African continent, and other areas of the
world. need help in méeting the
problems of living in the modern world. Their chief needs are
in health, modern agricultural
methods, and education. Education without religion, however,
would defeat its purpose, the
bishop said. ~Education without
religion is a dangerous thing,~ he
declared.

church, was graduated from St.
Augustine~s college in.1917. He
Was an Officer in World War I,

For a number of years he was
rector of Grace Church, Norfolk,
Va., and afterward secretary for
Negro work of the national Episcopal Church. President Edgar H.
Goold, in presertting Bishop Harris, pointed out that he was the
Second graduate of St. Augustine~s to beeome a bishop, the
first being the late Rt. Rev. Henty Beard Delany.
