SUMMER EDITION
Announcement —
The Howard Summer Crimson is under new management
with the second term of summer school. Ralph W. Callahan,
editor for the first term, is tearing shortly for New York, and
Europe. The assistant editor of the Summer Crimson, and edi¬
tor-in-chief-elect of the regular session Crimsor ' Morgan
Baker, took charge of the. affairs of the paper

issue.
Mr. Callahan with several years of journal is -rience
has launched a successful venture in the way of a sv .imrr col¬
lege publication. On investigation it is found that Howard
College and the University of Florida are the only two South¬
ern colleges publishing school journals in the summer.
With a small assessment from the students, and a thorough
canvass of the advertisers of Birmingham, the Summer Crimson
is now getting on a firm basis. It is expected that the paper
will soon reach and perhaps excel the high standard of journal¬
ism set by the winter publication.
Ralph Callahan will return to Howard in September.
Barely recovering from one faculty wedding to be plunged into
the surprise of another in a month is a big job for Howard to sur¬
vive, it is seen from the interest evinced around the campus upon
the marriage of Dr. Hul-Cee M. Acton to Mias Virginia Franklin,
Monday morning.
Dr. and Mrs. A. H. Mason (Bennie Spinks) have just returned
from their honeymoon.
Kempy, a three-act play which was produced several weeks ago
in the Howard College auditorium, will be given for the second
time by the original cast in the same building Friday night The
failure of the lights at curtain time, which had a devastating effect
on the crowd, was given as one of the reasons for the second per¬
formance, and the many requests of students who failed to see the
show the first time and asked that it be reproduced caused the'
director to put the play on Friday night.
Elaborateness was absent In the
solemn ceremony performed at the
borne of the bride at *14 North 74th
street. Dr. Ridgell of Gadsden read

No wonder Kempy has been such
a tremendous hit In New York. Chica¬
go — wherever It has played. It snaps
with wit and humor, of the most de¬
lightful kind. It’s electric. Its small¬
town folds are perfectly pictured.
Full types of varied sorts, each one
done to a turn and served with seat-
ful sauce.
The story is about a highfalutin’
daughter who in a fit of pique mar¬
ries the young plumber-architect, who
comes down to fix the water pipes,
just because he “understands" her. as
he has read her book and sworn to
marry the author.
Of course there are lots of ramifi¬
cations. each of which bears its own
brand of laughter-making potentials.
But the plot and- story are not the
main thing, for there is the work of
the company. The fun growing out of
this family mixup is lively and clean.
Kempy, which was written by J. C.
and Elliott Nugent, is a clever three-
act play which is now enjoying It’s
third run In New York, now being
played by the original cast in the
Howard Theatre.
J. C. Elliott and Ruth Nugent are
cast in the original play, and it’s tre¬
mendous success in New York has
