This has not boon true of Richard ,
B. Harrison.?For Frederick Dong -j
lass said long years ago, that the ]
dramatic future of the Negro 5
could be. entrusted in the hands
Lot. Harrison. The true vqlue of j
Mr. Douglass' idea.has been test- '
1 ed by millions' of people, white and J
black.
Thomas Harrison, of Kentucky; '
hand Isa Bella Chouteau Harrison, *
! >f -Missouri, long years -II>before '
Emancipation, sought freedom p]
j.trpm the cruel hands of slavery.
Tq this end they escaped through j
the. underground railroad into j
Canada. On September, .28, 1804,
v;?< born to them a son, Richard ,
Berry. The dark clouds of pover- ;
i ty overshadoyed this family, .but '
is* young ftichardson grew older, .
he Haw beyond the "dim unknown" 1
some hope?for aTotrining, which
he always desij ed.
At the age of seventeen, his parC ~
nts moved to \?>n?jdor. A few
Detroit, and there wftYked as a
oullman porter, waiter, bell boy
and as an actor in miner parts at
'he Detroit Club, Russel House and
the Rurnswick House. These *x terienced
went a long way in "giving
Harrison-the necessary expertence
needed.Ton later roles "In ilfp ;

menge^ salary, he was able to se

for Harrison-or any-^racc-member
.o xecciva such training, but quite
x few masters in this field, saw
lis liossTbnities mul gave him this
leliilmy hand.
From 188:1 to 1884 he studied ,
mdt'r the tutorship of^^Rdwiird'
iVeitzel; from 1885 to 1887 under
hat of Miss Mollie Lambert and
VI is. Francis Preston. He also ^.te
tided the Detroit Training school.
r? iU(H '

lebut.. from this time on,' Mr.
Harrison's appearances have been
sought. He toured Canada, the
southern part o-f the United States
and Mexico| Churches, schools,
w?Uepr*s'and theatres opened their loots
to him.. To these audiences
he interpreted the works of Kiplng,
Poe, Dungee, Dunbar, Shakes'*
;>eare and others. He has played
:he leading roles in th'e?"Merehant
>f Menice," "Macbeth," "Damon
utd Pythias," "Julius Caesar" and
'The Green Pastures."?~ ;
On December 11, 1895, he was
married to Miss Gertrude Janet
Washington. To them wera born
:wo children; Lawrence Gilbert
ind Martin Ysobel. .
For seven summers Mtv Harrison
gave a epurse in dramatics at
