To vote the Republican Ticket this year is political suicide. We are no longer children or serfs. We must turn out of power, our false friends, or he forever fallen. The Republican Party in state and nation in Ku Klux ridden, dominated and controlled. Think of it! The President of the United States is afraid to denounce them, although they are the open and avowed loses of America, and American institutions.
"The spell of the love of Lincoln and the hatred of Tillman are so strong with the colored voters, that they are blind to their own interest,

Nineteen Masons Honored With the Highest Degree By Supreme Council
Richmond, Va., Oct. 28th—The United Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for the Southern jurisdiction of the United States met in annual session here last week. The sessions under Sovereign Grand Commander Robert E. Pendleton of Washington, D. C. opened this the 38th session by attendance at divine services at Ebenezer Baptist Church where Rev. W. H. Stokes, Ph. D. delivered the sermon. He was afterwards one of the nineteen who was honored with the 33rd and last degree carrying with it the title of Honorary Inspector General of Freemasonry. Another minister who honored was Rev. Stewart, Pastor of the great Metropolitan church of Washington, D. C. Both are college men with several scholastic admirals.
Fifth on the list of the honored new, was a newspaper man, J. A. Jackson of New York whose Scottish rite masonic affiliation is in Jonathan Davis Consistory in Washington; but who is located in New York where he is a staff Editor on the Billboard and the only Negro in America who holds so high a position on a publication of national circulation that is not distinctly a Negro journal. He has for a number of years been an editor of Magnetic publications, and been the publicity man of a number of convenions of its affiliated bodies. He is the originator of the Deacons, a new unit of the craft devoted to the greeting of clandestinism, and the protection of intercourse between recognized jurisdictions thru the medium of performers and other travelling persons.
Others on the list included names from points as far apart as Baltimore and California. All were men prominent, not only in Masonry, but in the life of their respective communities some even being men who have achieved nation wide dis- tensions in several ways.
This being the first meeting of a reigning body among Prince Hall Masons since the pronouncement of the white supreme council in Boston in September when that body passed resolutions of co-operation with Prince Hall Masonry, the address of the Soy, Gr. Commander was awaited with interest. He gave expression to a spirit and purpose to meet any and every legitimate effort at harmony with the harmonious greetings that such a broad and tolerant move deserved.

DISCRIMINATION IN THEATRES SAID TO BE GROWING WORSE
HE TATTLER has received a letter from Mr. Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in which, among other things, he says:
"There have been coming to this office numerous complaints regarding the denial to colored people of service in various places of public accommodation in New York City. Most frequent have been complaints regarding various theatres on 125th Street where colored people are denied admission to the orchestra. It seems that there is a definite campaign being carried on in New York City to limit the civil rights of colored people.
"This situation was met in 1918 when as comprehensive a bill as could be drafted was passed by the New York State Legislature. Numerous requests are made to us to prosecute cases under that law but it is obvious that the Association cannot handle all of these civil rights cases, due both to a lack of funds and to the fact that the principle was established when the bill was passed."
It has been apparent to The Tattler for some time that there was a strong concerted movement in the Harlem district, at least of New York City, to draw the color line on patrons of the theatres more tightly. Tickets are often refused for certain sections of the house, and selling seats to colored people in such a way that they will all be segregated, congregated by themselves, is a very common thing in some of the theatres, as we have observed. When reservations are secured the holders are often turned down and the seatings withheld when it is discovered that the patrons are colored persons. A big rumpus is some times caused by this rank business but it seldom gets into the hands of the police, and the aggrieved parties are so humiliated that they do not care to institute a suit at law. They swallow their pride and allow their civil rights to be trampled upon because they do not care for the unpleasant notoriety court action entails.
We have ample laws in New York State to protect us in our civil rights, but we do not always resort to them. We prefer to allow some other one go ahead and fight injustice and the other one does the same thing, with the result that theatre managers and managers of other sorts of public places of accommodation and amusement feel certain that they can draw the color line on us and get away with it, as for some reason we seldom fight back. This conviction gives them encouragement to go ahead with their dirty business.
Some of the trouble is caused by the rude conduct of some of our group, who do not appear to know how to behave themselves in public places. They are offensive to any sort of person. We have time and again been put out of countenance by this sort. They dress well; they seem to have plenty of money; but they have no behavior that entitles them to intrude into the association of decent people, in a theatre or anywhere else. When they manage to squeeze in they make it uncomfortable for everybody about them, shaming their own and disgusting the other people victimized by them. White persons of the same shoddy sort do not usually force themselves where they do not belong, and when they do they are generally made to behave themselves.
Be sure you are right and when discriminated against make the proper protest and appeal to the courts for justice. That is the only way to meet and overcome any sort of unlawful discrimination. We are publishing from time to time the Levy Civil Rights Bill of N. Y. State for the benefit and guidance of Tattler readers who may became aggrieved in their citizenship by the denial of their civil rights by theatres and other places of public amusement and accommodation.

who win. Those who lose are never disposed to shout. They feel ugly defeat and some of them act ugly. They are not good sports who do that. And there are bad sports as well as good sports, as the saying is.
It has been a remarkable campaign in many ways, three cornered, when narrowed down to the leading parties and candidates, but with some ten other groups, with candidates and platforms, not a bit like those of the three major parties. That shows that the American people are far from being of one mind and satisfied with social, civil and economic conditions as they have been developing and have come to a head. It is the supreme privilege and immunity of an American citizen to vote the way he thinks, and it should be his right to be able to vote and have his vote counted. It is not so now. It will be so before the end of the chapter. The life of the Republic depends upon the working out of that fact in American politics.
For the first time in the politics of the Nation the Democratic platform and candidates have made a direct appeal for support of Afro-American citizens, while the Republican platform and candidates have been silent or evasive upon the issues in which Afro-Americans are vitally concerned. The LaFollete Progressive party has made the like appeal. It has all served to emphasize the fact that the Republican party has reversed on the supreme question of human rights, and allowed the Democratic and Progressive parties to grab and get away with that question. Because of this fact, it has developed during the campaign, in which The Tattler has played a conspicuous part, that large numbers of Afro-American citizens have deserted the Republican party and will vote for Democratic men and measures on Tuesday next, because the National Democratic platform and candidates have squared themselves more nearly on the vital questions that affect most directly the best interests of Afro-American citizens.
The Tattler expects John W. Davis to be the next President of the United States and Alfred E. Smith to be the next Governor of New York State, and The Tattler will vote the way it thinks. Go thou and do likewise.
THE HUMILIATED KLAN GOVERNOR OF MAINE FROZEN OUT OF NEW YORK
HERE was very much interest in New York State when it was announced that somebody had invited Mr. Ralph O. Brewster, the newly-elected Governor of Maine, avowedly elected by klan support, to stump New York State for the Republican candidates. It was generally felt that somebody had blundered. When an effort was made to place the responsibility no one would shoulder it. Everybody dodged the responsibility for Brewster.
It was given out that Governor Brewster would speak only in klan centers where he might be acceptable. But there did not appear to be any such centers in New York, and the last word was that Governor Brewster had been spewed out of New York State into some distant State not mentioned for publication as a guarantee of good faith. He just came into New York State to make Republican speeches with the proper klan flavor and was repudiated and remained silent in seclusion for a few days and then faded out of the State as silently and mysteriously as he entered it; but he did not go out as he came in, as far as his feelings are concerned; he went out humiliated in all of his parts. He will carry the humiliation with him back into the Maine woods, and his neighbors will laugh him to scorn in the place where they had exalted him by their votes, not knowing what they did and regretting it if they do, having realized that to be tarred with the klan tar is a mark of great dishonor.
Note and Comment BY T. THOMAS FORTUNE
ORD BALTIMORE said: "We are living, we are moving, in a grand and awful time." Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear quite agree with him. We are living in a time and enjoying advantages which were never dreamed of in the philosophy of our forefathers. Few of us ever stop to give that fact a thought. We just accept it without thinking about it. That is the line of least resistance, and the average disposition is to take that. Only the few ever look up into the glorious face of the sun. They look down to the earth for the most part. Why is that? Because, of course, they are earthly.
I often look long into the face of the sun. It strengthens my eyes and burns up the cobwebs in my head. Did you ever etry it? How often do you look above your eyes? Most people think on a level with their noses, and each has two, separate by a wall of partition, and they seldom see any further.
Let us see. I ran up to Buffalo Friday morning of last week, made an address for the Afro-American Trade and Commerce Club, of which Mr. James A. Ross is one of the loveliest wires, took the 12 o'clock train back, reached my office at 10 o'clock Saturday morning and did a big day's work. The distance is about 900 miles. What of it? Why, the thing is miraculous. Nothing like it

It should be that way in all of the States. "You pays your money and you takes your choice." If you can't do that as others do it there is something wrong to be regitted.
There were some ten Pullmans on the return trip. Every berth was taken. There were only two Afro-American passengers. Mrs. Ruth Whitehead Whaley, the splendid little attorney and Democratic speaker, was one and I was the other. None of the other passengers took any more notice of us, in the sleeper, or dining room, than we took of thme. Why should they? It should be so in all of the States, but it is not, and will not be until the people of all th eStates become as intelligent, cultured and democratic as the people of New York State, and that is going to be a long time in being. Why? Because the people of New York State are the most intelligent, cultured, wealthy and democratic in the nation.

OUNCES OF PREVENTION
By Dr. B. S. HERBEN
of the New York Tuberculosis
Association
THE SURGEON SAYS
"A woman who has two special nurses and does not need them may be robbing some other woman of fe!" The surgeon was speaking of the earth of nurses and the inestimable value of a good nurse in those critical hours and days following operation. The private patient and the one in the ward of the hospital—they were both the same to this great man—and the life of each was the motive of his untiring efforts and the magnet which constantlyrew his thought.
It took but a second to recall the visit of the afternoon—the call made upon a pleasant acquaintance who happened to be his patient-in-the-private-room. It was natural that this remark brought back the picture of the flower-filled room and the alert nurse satisfying the whims of the patient who no longer needed her exceptional skill. The words "some other woman" brought up the vision of the visit to the ward which the surgeon made before going home to dinner. Here was another matter. From beside the bed of the desperately ill woman arose the tall, thin husband with a face deeply lined, reminding me of no one so much as of Lincoln. The busy nurses, taking care of so many patients, were going from one bed to another.
"Doctor," the man said, "I think she ought to have a special nurse, after all, even though I can't really afford one. Can I get one now?" "There isn't one to be had. I've been trying to get one for—wait a minute!" The surgeon snapped out an order to the attendant by his side. Turning to the anxious husband, he said kindly, "We'll have a nurse if we have to wreck the institution! Don't worry."
Afterwards I learned that he had ordered the second nurse off the case of the patient-in-the-private-room, and told her to report for duty on the ward case at once. I happened to discover in a round-about way that he almost lost the wealthy woman as a patient, though in the end she saw the justice of the move; and he paid the cost of the nurse's time while she gave special attention to the poor woman. He dosen't know that I know that.
Oh, yes! The little woman lived. You should have seen the face of that husband when he took her home.
Why can't we have more young people taking up nursing? Always remember that if you do not actually need a nurse, it is selfish not to release her so that she may be available for one who is "poised on the top of some huge wave of fate, which hangs uncertain to which way to fall"—for the patient who may die—may live!

I have had the opportunity at various times to serve on committees, national and local, working in behalf of the community at large but on which before my appointment the Negroes had had no direct representation. Without a single exception the presence of a colored person made the group more definitely conscious of the fact that Negroes merit and should have equal consideration with other people. And besides, frequent opportunities were offered for me to present the cause of the Negro in a more effective manner than otherwise would have been possible.
I have in mind specifically the candidacy of Dr. Charles H. Roberts for Congress from the 21st Congressional district. I write this with no desire to influence colored people in their party affiliations but only to say that I trust that every Negro who has a vote in this district will go early to the polls and in voting make no mistake in locating the square in which to put his cross for the election of Dr. Roberts. If elected he will be the first colored representative in Congress in many a year. And here the Negroes need a direct voice and vote in the conduct of the affairs of our native land.
The first requisite for good relations between the races in America, I should say, is mutual respect. Negroes have always been taught to respect white people; white people are taught NOT to respect Negroes. Whites cannot do otherwise than respect them, however, when they show qualities that merit the good opinion of mankind.
A colored man of Dr. Roberts' attainments in Congress will stand before all of the people of America and his upright qualities and saneness of judgment and action will be appraised and will command respect. Let us not lose this great opportunity to take this important step towards securing another strategic position in the "fight for a chance."

OUNG PEOPLE, it came to pass that one day when the recording angel was getting ready to fly down to the earth the Lord God stopped her at the door and said:
"Honey, do you see that prosperous-looking brown-skin young man down there? When he says his prayers he never asks me for anything. He just says: 'Lord, I thank Thee for this day and all its blessings.' Now, I haven't given that young man any more blessings than I have given to the other young men that stand round about him. But whereas these other young fellows are always asking me for something or complaining because they haven't more gifts given to them, that young man never asks me for anything more than I give him. And, yet he is the most prosperous-looking man in the settlement. So, Honey, when you come back tonight I want you to bring me word concerning him.
As soon as the angel reached the earth she drew near to the prosperous-looking young man, opened her book and made ready to write. There was quite a bunch of young men standing round near the hall door, because the Boss of the big creosoting plant had given his hands a holiday that they might come to this hall and hear a free lecture about the creosoting business.
The young men were joking and talking and the angel was wating with her pen ready when an old man came along leaning on a stick. The old man was not very stylish-looking and he was so feeble that when he dropped his stick he could not stoop down to pick it up. The prosperous-looking man looked to see if any of the men nearest the old man were going to pick up his stick for him and when he saw that all of them went on smoking and talking he sprang over there, lifted his cap and picked up the old man's stick. While the old man was thanking him, the Boss came out of the hall and asked:
"Anything wrong?"
"No," said the old man, "I dropped my stick and this young fellow picked it up for me."
"Oh, I see," said the Boss. He turned to the prosperous-looking man and said: "I think you are one of my men." "Yes, sir; I work with the carpenters as a helper."
The Boss wrote it down then he said:
"This gentleman is my father. He wants to show him over the plant tomorrow and I guess you are about the best one he could get. I'll tell the foreman to give you a day off."
The Boss and his father went on and all the other young men began to say how lucky Bob always was, and to grumble and complain because they never had any luck. But the recording angel wrote in her book:
"The other men threw away a chance to do a kind act. The prosperous-looking man took the chance, did the kind act, and made a friend of his Boss."
The men went in to hear the lecture and the angel went too.
When the lecturer had made an end of his talk, he said:
"I have a little time to spare before

The prosperous-looking man looked to see if any of the others had a question to ask, but they were all busy uncrossing their legs and getting their hats ready to put on, so he went up to the lecturer and said:
"Yesterday, I heard the big Boss tell my boss to make a five-hundred gallon vat five feet deep and twice as long as it was wide. How did my Boss know how long to make the vat?"
"That's a straight question," said the lecturer, "and here is your answer."
While he figured it all out and explained it the angel wrote in her book:
"The prosperous-looking man took advantage of a chance that the other men threw away and so acquired knowledge that will help him to rise higher in his trade."
Along toward the end of their holiday as the men were going home they came to a fruit stand. The owner of the stand was fussing around because a box-full of half-rotten apples and potatoes was making his shop smell bad the garbage cart would not pass for hours. The other men began plaguing the fruit dealer, telling how bad those rotten things smelled and asking him who he thought would buy fruit in a shop that smelt like that. Pretty soon the prosperous-looking man lifted his cap and said:
"I'll take that box away right now for what's in it."
"Go to it," said the dealer.
The prosperous-looking man set the box on his shoulder and as they passed oh the others began exclaiming about the fine lot of pig-feed he had picked up for nothing:
"No wonder your pigs are the finest in the settlement! You are forever feeding them on stuff that hasn't cost you a cent."
While they were exclaiming the angel was writing in her book. When she had made an end of her writing, she flew back to heaven and showed the record to the Lord God, saying:
"Lord, that man is prosperous because he makes the best use he can of the chances that you give him."

THE TATTLER
perpetuate his political bondage to one party, and to help elect Ku Klux governments. The Negro politicians from and in sections where there is no colored vote, seem to be the most easily fed and lead. If the Negro is going to a political gallows, he is under no duty to spring the trap himself. "The Republican Party has neither character, conscience nor courage. It apologizes for corruption, malfeasance in office, and will take no stand upon any living issue; it has not the guts to denounce a faction of that party, the Ku Klux Klan element which controls it.
"Mr. John W. Davis has, upon every occasion, made it known that he is opposed to the Ku Klux Klan, at Sea Girt, Syracuse, and recently at Cleveland. Race and religion will not be a test of fitness for office when this great American President of the United States, the 4th of March next.
"Should Mr. Davis fail to receive a large number of the votes of the colored race in the spivotal states, it will be a distinct calamity for my race in this country. The colored voter is on trial. Has he political acumen or not? Does he know that the election of the Republican ticket means a national administration, dominated and controlled by the Ku Klux Klan, with its avowed policy of exclusion from office, elimination from politics and placing him under a band of regulators not amendable to the law, because the Ku Klux would then control and administer the law?
"John W. Davis and his party today are fighting the Klan, and the Klan is fighting them. Our only hope for successfully meeting this issue is to vote, and work for John W. Davis as the colored men and women are doing in Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio, and wherever the Klan shows its hooded head and cloven hoof. It will be a distinct advantage to our group if we should have in the President's chair a great lawyer such as Mr. Davis is, who knows the Constitution by heart. He has defended our rights under the 14th and 15th Amendments, and won our most notable battles in the Supreme Court of the United States against the Grandfather Clause and Peonage.
"I am making a last appeal to men and women of my race, where ever they vote, and in whatever village, hamlet, crossroads or precinct, to turn out upon Election Day and give the new National Democratic Party a trial.
"I am appealing to my intended fellow victims of the Klan, to the Catholics, Jews, and the foreign born, and every decent, law-abiding American citizen of whatever race and creed, to stand with us in this fight against religious bigotry, and race rule in America. A vote for John W. Davis will put an end to the Ku Klux threat. It will give us an administration to which any American may look with pride and confidence."

HOWARD-WEST VIRGINIA GAME ENDS IN A 0-0 TIE
Washington D. C. Eleven Gors Ints

Buryby Warriors of Virginia
To Secrelone Tie
Washington, D. C. 'The pigskin Warriors of West Virginia Institute and Howard University battled to a concordance at Griffith Stadium, Friday, afternoon, October 24th before a crowd variously estimated as between 2,000 and 3,000. Howard's eleven lived up to its pre-season reputation as the strongest defensive eleven in colored intercollegiate circles. No team has made a first down against Howard this year. Howard punctured the West Virginia defense for eleven first downs, y. Mint AJrhoibio 30s ... eC... In the first quarter, just after the kick-off, the "Bisons" began a march down the field which landed the ball on the opposite six yard line. Here the West Virginia defense stiffened and the ball changed sides on the "Yellow Jackets" one yard line. After this neither team was in serious trouble.
For the most part the ball was kept in West Virginia territory. Long spirals by Turner, star and on the visiting team, rescued his team from many serious situations. The Cardwell uprising was effectively surpressed. Howard's forwards played superb football, McLean, former quarterback on the Lincoln eleven played a starting game for Howard both on offense and defense.
Howard's next football battle will be against the Wilberforce University eleven. This game will be played on the Wilberforce University campus at Wilberforce, Ohio, next Saturday, November 1st. Last year Howard took a 10 to 0 victory from Wilberforce and they expect to duplicate this feat by a larger score.

"LIVE NEWS WELL FEATURED" THE TATTLER
AL BROWN STOPS ASH AT COMMONWEALTH
Scores Spectacular One Round Knockout Victory Over The English Champ; McVey Whips Ballund
At the Commonwealth Sporting Club of Harlem, little Al Brown, the package of dynamite, exploded and spilled Frankie Ash all over the ring in the feature bout of twelve rounds. Brown turned the trick in 1 minute and 56 seconds.
The little Englishman was completely outclassed and never had a chance. Brown tore after him at the sound of the song in the first round, and in less than half a minute he landed with sweeping right and the representative of John Bull was introduced to the canvas with his feet sticking up in the air. Ash took a short count and struggled gamely to his feet. He thinned around the ring with Al in hot pursuit, shooting with that deadly right. He caught the white boy after a few seconds, and Ash was dumped again. Badly hurt and groggy, Franklin managed to scramble to his feet and run like a frightened rabbit.
But Brown was not to be denied and started after his victim grimly bent on the task at hand. He again cornered the white boy and shot home that devastating right and poor little Ash crumbled and went down for the third time within less than two minutes. Battle torn, dazed and hopelessly outclassed, he struggled to his shaking pins only to stop a wicked left that toppled him over and he laid as if dead while Jiddle Munson, the time keeper and referee counted him out.
Jack McVey, fighting one of his poor fights, lost a splendid opportunity to score a knockout victory over Harry Galland in the semifinal of ten rounds McVey easily outclassed his opponent and won with little effort. But he was not the Jack McVey that stopped Rocky Smith a few weeks previous. He seemed listless and apparently tired, which gave the impression that he had not trained properly for the fight. And his hippodroming on several occasions did not make him any friends.
In one of the early rounds, after the bell rang indicating the round was over, Jack stood and watched Galfund as the latter went to his corner. This caused McVey to be hounded by the gallery gods, who took exception to his burlesque actions and indifference.
McVey lost a splendid opportunity to strengthen his claim as a championship contender among the wetterweights, by failing to knock-out his opponent. He had the white boy in bad number of times, but slowed up just when he might have added Galfund to his K, O, List.
The weights announced were: Al Brown, 112 lbs; Ash, 111½ lbs; McVey, 14½, and Galfund, 15½.
"THE BIG FOUR"
Harlem would not be Harlem without the diversified characters that make up its population, as the Big MI/Tea Miniarch Voir, who know everything and everybody, knew everywhere, knew everything decided to give the "Shiver Mine Miniarch" a vacation, so in Maybern 1916, they are going to give a dance at Palace Garden and will not doubt spent $1000 for the fun.

Brilliant Play of Ted Bolden The Big Vactor in Violet's Victory Over Visiting Elevon; Gets Away for 45 Yd. Run
New York University's mighty eleven gave a wonderful exhibition in defeating the strong Trinity eleven at Ohio Field Just Saturday, by the score of 12 to 0. Ted Bolden of N. Y. U., around whom coach Tom Thorp has built a triple threat was again the outstanding star of the game.
The speedy, hard running elusive halfback got loose for a forty-five run that placed the home eleven in a position to score, and Howes was given the ball to make the tally.
Taking advantage of their opponents' faulty handling of the pigskin in the first period of play, N. Y. U. gained a two point advantage when Terrell was forced to fall on the ball behind his own goal for a safety, after a poor pass by the Trinity center.
Neither team was impressive in the second period, but the local eleven came to life in the third period and ran rough-shod over their Hartford opponents. Hawes ran the kickoff back twenty yards and Ted Bolden, on a tackle play, rounded forty-five yards before he was downed. Then followed a series of line plunges and a fifteen yard penalty against N. Y., U., which was up on a pass, after which Hawes made the touchdown on an end run. Three more points were added in this period on a placement kick by Howley, from the thirty yard line, which ended the scoring for the game.

The wildest and the building went
in the most together in a 1/2 round
battle, ripping, smashing, hearing
at each other with all the fury of
their fighting hearts; and the bul-
ding was given the laurel wreath
in victory at the end. But he was
a work and bruised animal, his body
carressed by the miserable claws of
the cat, was aching in every point,
and he was glad it was over.
Yes, the wildest was Bunny Spanders of the fighting 31st National Guard Unit of the state, and the building some other than Sammy Baker of Michael Field.
The late taught it out in a return army at the 21st Division Train's show at the 47th Regiment Army, Brooklyn, Tuesday night.

early rounds caused the judge to give him the decision, but it was a nip and tuck affair, first one in the lead, then the other. And both ladies knew at the finish that they had been in a fight.
The boys are waterweights, both sealing under 145 pounds. It was their second meeting, Saunders winning the first with a terrific fighting spirit in the closing rounds. Baker duplicated Saunders's feat in the first encounter, and he, too, came from behind to crap the verdict.
Winner and winner were both cheered by the big gathering. Saunders was given a warm ovation.

"CHOCOLATE DANDIES" BEGINS ELEVENTH WEEK
Simple and Blake's Latest Effort in Musical Comedy Entern Third Month of Play at Colonial Theatre
"The "Chocolate Dandies," Sissle and Blake's spectacular musical comedy production playing at the Colonial Theatre since September 1st have finished their second month's run at the popular Broadway Theatre and are now beginning the third month. That the expensive theatrical amusement entertainment presented by Bert C. Whitney, featuring those two popular entertainers has met with popular approval is attested to by the splendid attendance that has been drawn to the Colonial at every performance.
A tremendous out lay of capital has been invested in the production. First for the talented group of artists featured, and secondly in the costuming, scenery and mechanical devices. Neither money nor paints were spared in the effort to make it the biggest possibility ever presented the public, resulting in the most colorful classic in many years.
The local presentation precedes a long tour of the United States and possibly Europe. The large cast of Dixie Punters includes, besides the stars, Noble Sissle and Ruble Blake, Lew Payton, Lottle Goe, Josephine Baker, Valada Snow, Elizabeth Welsh, Jimmy Perguson, Amand a Randolph, Addison Carey, J. Mardo Brown, W. A. Hann, William Grundy, Lee Randall, Inez Clough, Ivan H. Browning, Russell Smith, Percy Colston, George Himore, W. H. Berry, Mildred Smallwood, Lloyd Keyes, The Bamville Opera House Band, the Sissle and Blake Symphony Orchestra, and a chorus of beautiful brunettes which is by far the largest and peppiest seen in many a moon,
JOHNNY HUDGINS SUED BY BERTRAM WHITNEY
Johnny Hudgins was served with papers demanding him to show cause why he should not be restrained from playing with any other company or place except with the "Chocolate Dandies" and such theatres as they play.
At the present time, Hudgins has a fat contract with the Shuberts and is presumably entertaining at the "Club Alabama," while the Shubert people care preparing vehicle for him.
But, Mr. Whitney claims that Hudgins had signed a contract to play in the production of Missle and Blake at that time known as "Bamville," but later known as the "Chocolate Dandies." Johnny signed at $150 a week on the road and was to get $200 in New York.
Considerable friction was caused because John wanted to be "Properly billed" as he claims. From after the New York opening he left the production, claiming that he had been paid only $112,50 on the road and since this constituted a breach of contract on the part of the producer he became thereby a free agent.
At some time between his departure from "The Chocolate Dandies" and his appearance at the Club Alabama' Hudgins signed a thirty weeks' contract with the Shuberts at $400 a week.
"SNAPPY AND INTERESTING"
Gene Jones, Clever Planist, and Two Good Comedians Save Production from Being a Big Bloomer, Lacking In Material
"Oh Honey" opened at the Lafayette Theatre last Monday for a two weeks engagement which was cut to one after the initial opening. The company was rushed here lacking in material. Gus Smith and Leo Boatner, black face comedians, and Miss Gene Jones were the saving grace of an otherwise very poor attraction. The band also was fair and under better conditions would pass muster, but would not be rated other than just ordinary.
Miss Jones wrote the entire musical score for the production, we are told, and she proved an exceptionally good pianist. Her playing on the ivories while the musical entertainers had the stage, won her hearty applause.
The two comedians, Smith and Boutner, worked hard and did well in holding up the show as far as they were able. Unfortunately, the material they had at hand had been used somewhat previously and lacked the punch. It was a re-bash that failed to do more than win a momentary laugh that died almost immediately.
Not one of the women leads was any where near the standard. They all lacked stage deportment and crude and amateurish in the execution of their work. Miss Rosetta Swan possesses a fairly pleasing voice, but she did not seem to know how to get on or off. The "Blues" singer's number should be taken out.
The vaudeville acts, all white, were not anything to boast of an did not show to any particular advantage, Maxon and Moritz was a novelty singing act; Joe Dever entertained, if you wish, on the accordion, and Van and O'Donnell gave a sketch of the "Traffic" work.

MONSTER RED MOON DANCE AT NEW STAR
Under The Clever Direction of Professors Darling Mack and Charles H. Anderson, It Will Be The Treat of The Season
Any one residing in the metropolis of America, and being the possessor of two eyes, could not fail seeing the wonderful advertising posters displayed in every nook and corner announcing the coming of the Red Moon Dance. In addition, twenty five thousand invitations have been sent broadcast, not only in New York City, but in every neighboring town, within the radiance of the city.
It is a question whether Star Casino will accommodate the mighty throng which is expected to attend. The Red Moon is revolving on its axle, and on the above date will spread its brilliant rays down upon its many patrons at this beautiful palace of pleasure.
The Red Moon Orchestra, which will furnish music for this affair is, rated one of the best in the musical world. Every member of this aggregation is a star, and under the clever leadership of James A. Bowman and conductor Darling Mack, you are assured of a night of real happiness, along the road to Wonder Land.

"NEWS FROM EVERYWHERE"
Under the watchful eye of Prof. Darling Mack and Prof. Chas H. Anderson, this company has become one of the most powerful of its kind in existence. At their last two affairs neither Star Casino nor Manhattan could house the crowd. It is evident that this company is sparing neither money nor pains to make this affair the greatest event of the season. They promise you nothing but give you all. In the near future they contemplate offering for your approval a road show. The Tattler wishes them success.
THE MUSKETEERS PLAN A FASHIONABLE WHIRL
The sands of time run swiftly, here we are on the threshold of the most unique, fashionable and talked of Dansante of the season. To those of us who take on society in large doses, it seems that only a few days have elapsed since the popular Three Musketeers entertained at Mine. Walker's magnificent studio.
Five days from to-day has been Palace scheduled for the most brilliant invitational event of the season at The New Palace Garden, on Seventh Avenue between 139th and 140th Street, for this event. The Three Musketeers have accepted three of their associates to assist, namely Mr. Wm. Patterson of the Prince George Boy's Club, and Mr. John Stewart.

GEORGE IMMERMAN AIDS MANY HARLEM FAMILIES
Mr. George Immerman one of the proprietors of Connie's Inn, is one of New York's good fellows without a peer, although much criticism has been hurled at him and his brother by a certain newspaper in Harlem, little does the public know of the good things that these boy's have done for members of our group.
In an interview with a TATTLER representative, George Immerman exhibited to him proofs of financial assistance to colored families in Harlem, some of which he is paying their rents without any thought of returns.
Mr. Immerman also stated "that rumors has been circulated from time to time that he did not care for the patronage of members of our group," this he branded as a gross falschood; it is the opinion of many that this rumor was circulated by interests that are trying to be the regulators of colored Harlem, Mr. Immerman further stated that he is conducting a public place, and all are welcome, except the rough element of both races, and that he has given his employees strict orders to extend courtesy and service to all patrons alike.

You may return some day and seek
To make amends for all the pain
That you have caused me; you may speak
The words that should relume again
The fierce fires of passion that fused
Your spirit into that of mine
And made us one. So I have mused,
But should you come and claim as thine
Me, Me you would not find, you know
And I I should not know the old you.

Long before the evening sun had begun to set behind the mountains, had the folks from the rugged hills began to assemble to the little "Burg in the Hallow" for the grand Madi Gras Carnival and Sheiks Frolic; long before midnight there was standing room only and not much of that. Auto parties from Covington, Clifton Forge and White Sulphur Springs, and numbers of guests came in on the train assembled. The music was furnished by Schepers Orchestra. It was supreme, and made the guests trip it on their light fantastic toes, until the wee hours of the morning. Mr. Powe, the proprietor, must be given credit for such a gala affair. * * What The Eagle Eye Saw was, Catherine L. was too much in love to attend the ball. Fred. Hamilton slapped N. because she wanted to dance with another fellow, in the prize waltz. * * J. Frazier came to get his chicken—what kind of "chicken"?—but he left right away. * * David L. the old guard started dressing at eleven and finished at one, just got there for the prize waltz. You should see Green-backs fly. * * Bob Jenkins, kept his eye on M. and would let her get five yards from him as the "back biters" were busy. * * Can you imagine: Nelson McFadden going to a ball; Yeiser being sober once; Lord Worthy a sweetheart; Albert De La Mont biting Balyntine in the back before his eyes; Elizabeth Howard making love to Carrol and Sales at the same time; Catherine C not speaking to Yeiser; Rufus Jones home asleep, but still he wins a prize; (a pair of socks). But we were glad to see Mr. Girdy, the Tattler reporter of Covington there, with a big party. Mr. Jack Hamilton, the Headwaiter of the Cafe full of smiles, and the Popular Mr. Robert Lee the Secretary, was the judge of the prize waltz. Mr. George Taylor the Floor Manager. Mr. and Mrs. Ivy Heard, won the prize waltz. Mr. William Roberts, the Charleston Contest, and the Orchestra "Home Sweet Home." * * Mr. Powe raised twenty dollars from the Carnival Booth for the Welfare League. * * Albert De Lamont, didn't your conscience tell you, you were doing wrong when you went t othe station to bid him good-bye, and then returned to the cottage to bite him in the back, and still biting him? * * William Roberts is really a confidential man, he promised to buy Gertrude's dinner every day and stop her from eating at the Hotel. * * Why is it Thomas Anthony, the tailor, delivers clothes to the girls in the Wilson House, after 11 o'clock at night. * * We were sorry to know of Miss Bessie Donovan's illness, and wish her a speedy recovery. * * As the leaves begin to fall and the ax goes up, now boys, is the time to be careful, as it may come down on you, and Christmas will only mean Thursday to you. * * We were sorry to see Mr. Mathews Yeiser and Balyntine leave for Philadelphia, and we wish them success on their trip. * * After The Ball Was Over; Sales and Carrol tried to pull a Wills-Firpo at the Wilson House over Elizabeth Howard. * * Lord Worthy tried to navigate out of the window of the Wilson House. * * Nellie H. was tripping up and down the hall until four o'clock trying to dodge Fred. so she played sleep, so the poor sap could go to bed then, she made her headway upstairs. * * Odessa got hers because she would not go to bed from Willie. * * Dr. P. stood out in the cold hall for an hour waiting for "Josh" to go so he could see Alemena. * * The Moonshine on the moonshine for Chat! * * What did you say to Leslie Payne, when you saw him through the Key Hole, B. J. * * Mr. Powe wished to thank every one for their kind patronage and support they have given the Tattler, while in Hot Springs, for now, he is leaving for New York and wishes to meet many of the old faces in Miami, the Tattler town, this Winter. Mr. J. C. Williams will be contributor, for the Tattler, in Hot Springs during his absence. Au Revoir!

Wagstaff and get it. 427 Michigan St. * * * We see that when Acting Traffic Officer Braggs was stationed at the corners of Michigan and Broadway, the traffic was handled successfully. But the big Brownic must have looked too good to the O'Fay traveling public, so it took two O'Fay traffic officers to do the same work so unsuccessful that there now stands a lighted silent signal.

Minnie had his trunk packed when he came back from his last trip, any way, and it seems as if the poor fellow is just in dutch all around. What's truly wrong Charles? Tell us something.

They tell me that B. the oee, was waiting for you with a hammer. Is that right? Too bad. * * * A certain Sheik said the American Express is too slow, so he sent the radio to Sharon, Pa., in the Stutz rapid transit but the charges were terrible. Page P.

Be careful and don't let us hear any blues Babe. * * * Miss Gollie M. says she gave up Pete M. like the sea gives up its dead. No wonder Mr. Bob W. isn't here to stay. * * * Credit must be given Mr. W. Williams for the way in which he directs his recreation parlers at 55th and Central Ave. It is one favorite hang-out for all the uptown boys. * * * The "Big Three" met Monday morning at the office of the following papers: The Hotel Tattler, Pittsburgh Courier, and last but not least the Afro-American.

P. E. A.'s were victorious over Union University's Freshman Team. The P. E. A.'s captured the score 17 to 0 on the gridiron at Hovey Stadium. The Progressive Education Association as the initials imply, is a body of young men under the directorship of Mr. Benj. F. Vaughn, Editor of the Richmond, Voice. These boys are being well trained socially, morally and physically. * * * The sheiks of A. H. S. with those collegiates are the "rave" of the school. Page Robinson from West. Va., who sings in the Glee Club. * * * Perhaps it would be interesting to note that A. H. S. Glee Club is planning big things this Semester, the Glee Club is fortunate enough to have Miss Florence Fields (pianist) back this year. Miss Fields is a student of Armstrong Normal School. Under the able and efficient direction of Mr. John A. Nixon this aggregation of young people who are students of, and interested in, the study of Music will make a name that will be sounded on the tongues of all music-lovers and bring honor to its school, dear old Armstrong. * * * The P. E. A.'s Oriental Ball was ultrasmart. One was carried into the interior of the Orient. The Sheiks and Shebas vied with each other as to the wonderfulness of the night, the gorgeousness of the costumes, and the desiring effects of the decorations. Prof. Harris Hilton and his Syncopated Orchestra, with the aid of the Oriental Tom-Tom played many and Oriental strain, and the sweet music like an infinitesimal sirocco swayed the many Oriental couples to a high degree. In the wee hours of the morning the "Orientalers" wended their way homeward. On every lip was the P. E. A.'s have everything that's classy and smart. * * * Be sure to drink "Delecto," sold at 2nd and Clay Sts. at John's confectionery. "Delecto," this wonderful refreshing drink was formulated by Julian Pittman, a Richmond boy. Don't forget to try it. It has 3 flavors in. Nuf sed! * * * Before pulling the mote out of your neighbors eye; pull the beam out of your own. * * * Jack Neal has the sharpest collegiates in town, those grey ones are ultra smart. Say Jack are you a model for O. H. Berry's. * * Get your Tattler at Second and Leigh Streets. * * * Can you imagine: Lelia Flourmou staying away from V. N. I. I.; Coleridge Davis directing other than a Musical Comedy; Paul Cannon not trying to be a sheik; Jack Neal without 10 suits; Florence Smith not ritzying; Almeria Edmunds staying off 1st St.; Irma Denny driving a "Lizzie"; Anthony Bagley without his Tattler; Laurence Allen not dancing; Grayce Jones not play and singing; Maurice Weeks not trying to be a Sheik; Chester Washington not handing out a good line; Warren Wilkins not being deep???? * * * As we look forward to Hallowe'en, Richmond has many festivities to engage in. The Norfolk Jazz Hounds will give a dance at Acme Hall, South Richmond. The witches and goblins and all other queer personages, will parade the streets. Much fun and enjoyment is anticipated in every groupe. * * * Of course, Richmonds ultra-smart society will have their usual exclusive functions pluss gorgeous costumes.

Several dances at the several halls other than regular weekly affairs. The Hotel Brotherhood entertained the Hilldale Base Ball Club at a Banquet. A smoker at the Roadside in their honor also took place and in spite of the dissappointment of the Philadelphia Fans that they lost the Series.

thought along the line of the work of the Committee. At the evening session, Mr. Isadore Martin, Chairman of the Phila. Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. provided. The speakers for this session were James Weldon Johnson "Campaigning in Support of the United States Constitution." L. Hollingsworth Wood," Spiritual Significance of Inter-Racial Justice." Musical numbers were rendered by Charles McCabe, (Violinist and Carl Diton in a rendition of Negro Spirituals. Together with the above menticed affairs, there were any number of Political meetings in all sections of the City representing all parties. Each in their own way trying to convince the Negro which would be the right way to vote on November 4th.
The Whitman Sisters
The Patrons and first nighters at the Standard Theatre were repaid for pulling out to witness the exceptional Bill of the Standard Theatre this week past. The feature of the program, however, were the Whitman Sisters and their New act, entitled "Rompin Thru." These girls have always brought something new with them but this time they were at their best and the entire act, was a sure winner from the beginning to the end. The little Tot which they are featuring is a child wonder and Prince Albert helps in totish way to send the act over. As usual the house was crowded to doors and it is predicted that this will be one of the best weeks that the Standard has had. The Whitman Sisters have always been a drawing card because they offered the Public real amusement.
Gilpin At Dunbar
Charles Gilpin the Star of Emperor Jones headed the Faree Comedy "Are You a Mason" which opened at the Dunbar Theatre on Monday evening. His interpretation of Amos Bloodgood was strictly up to the minute and in keeping with his artistic qualities. The show although not strictly modern was well done and pleased the audience which out numbered those who attended the last week's show. Mr. Gilpin was ably supported by a noteworthy cast of which Edna Lewis Thomas led.
Johnson Quits Phila.
Charles S. Johnson, one time owner and Manager of the "Hurry Along Revue" has given up the show and left Philadelphia, the reason for Mr./Johnsons sudden departure is not known, but rumor has it that the entire company refused to work under what they called unbearable conditions which were brought about by not being given a square deal by the former manager. Having watched the show with interest since its first performance we were sorry to see this break, however, the member of the company seem happy and are putting more effort into their work, the genial (Mrs.) Duncan seems happy. Bobby Lee is whipping up his unusual band, and the "Cinderella Inn, is still the most popular place in town.

The Jolly Club
Two Bands Continuous Dancing, From 9 Until 2
The Jolly Club of South Philadelphia started a little something new when they secured the "Lawnside Inn" at Lawnside New Jersey to stage their rather up-to-the-minute evening of amusement under the title of "Bits of Passing Shows." This idea was conceived by Mrs. Minevra Bush Howard. The talent of the evening of October 27th. gave a pleasant and splendid performance and every one enjoyed themselves. They have established a precedent for othrs. Those who were featured on the program were Clyde Lee, Helen Tippett and Mrs. Howard. Gumby's Society Serenaders furnished the music for the occasion..
Arcadia Barn Dance
The Arcadia Barn yard Dance was certainly a knockout and everybody had a wonderful time. Tom C. hardly knew where to get off as I counted six of his flames there. Bus, the cute little brown made a fuss over you and had things going her way 'till the charming Edith stepped up and claimed her own. The Tattler girls, wonder who holds the winning hand, Edith or Phillis. Wonder what Clara has to say. Go easy Bus. Louise isn't worried 'bout Leticia nor Edith. She knows her Troy loves her. Ax how bout the apartment? Peter you did a bit of backbiting at the dance. Slow down Pete. Humbolt you can't get yourself together did all the girls forget you while you were away, I though absence made the heart grow fonder. The Sheik T. C. has to wonder which one shall I see tonight. Don't let so and so catch you at a certain place. Tom. Why not be congenial Mr. Griffin you make the balls and someone else throws them.
Forum Will Discuss
"The N. A. A. C. P. as a Means of Inter-Racial Amity will be the topic for discussion by the Forum of the Citizens Republican Club on Sunday Afternoon, November 2nd at 3.30 P. M. Sharp. The public in invited to participate in these meetings. The discussion will be led by Julian St. George White the Secretary of the Local Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Hon. Charles Fred White, member of the State Athletic Commission spoke last Sunday on "Segregation in the Governmental Department at Washington." His speech revealed the continuance of this pernicious practice.

sheik, can't get his business right. But
don’t let M. H. Catch you. To bad Jim.
* * * What does Cutie mean when he tells
sweet Miss Thelma to go to his roost and
get his Laundry which consists of B. V.
D.’s, two collars and his Photo. Why
not move #]l at once old boy? * * * Well
we have noticed that the two famous sheiks
of the Washington visited the city for a
few days from New York. Now what
brings ‘these two Lords of Music over
here we are at a loss to understand. But
you can bet Freddie and Mr, Wetsel have
been doing some wire-pulling, you bet
Kid. * * * Some one has whispered over
the wire that Hurry Along Revue just
missed being good and hungry. Especially
since their guide and guardian Charlie
Johnson, did a Keller trick and faded
out. How and Why? Well, that’s what
everyone wants to know. * * * Some sin-
ister influence is at work removing all the
dead wood. Maybe that is why the
Revue is going better. Perhaps Bobby Lee
will take the dancing under his instruc-
tion. Who knows many strange things are
happening these days. * * * Well since
M. R. Percy Verwayne has janded back
in the Quaker City, he lost no time in
looking up some of his haunts of former
days. Those Shebas don’t mean you any
good Percy, lay off. * * * Somebody
asked what keeps Charlie McClane smil-
ing. Perhaps he has a new vision and is
going to follow it. * * * It’s strange how
that Special Officer at the Royal Theatre
holds up under the strange and tedious
hours and chinese food. Some people can
do anything. * * * Alright Mr. Daniel.
We all know that you are a smart young
man devoting all that is best in you to
developing your line. However, don’t cross
the street so much and we think that
you will do lots better. You may be used
to doing other things. Watch out. * * *
I am sure if John H. managed to get a
little more rest at night he would look
better and not as if he was constantly all
in. Late hours do those things to a
fellow. Go in sometimes. * * * If that
crowd at 44th & Fairmount Ave. would
only keep their mouth shut a little more
it would be better for everybody. Some
of these days a friend is going to close
some of those mouths that hold too much
tongue. * * * It is funny how things get
out. Just recently we find that old Dave
Asbury did his best to go thru this Sum-
mer at Atlantic City and write his Name
Hon. when giving a card to Marylin Pipes
of Atlantic City. Well Dave we all know
your game, but you must cut the stuff and
especially the Hon. Thou shalt not covet.
* * * STORM WARNINGS. A certain
Newspaper man of the city has issued a
warning to all the Sheiks who idly block
the pavements of the Roadside and other
meeting places to: lap off one lady, just
one. Nuff sed. * * * Viola H. * * * What
was the trouble Saturday: ‘Did ‘you get |
your wires crossed? * * * G, Hobson was
that a jealous play or do you mean it. |
Be yourself son. * * * Ametta W. Why
don’t you keep your promise sometimes.
* * * It is too bad H. C. must go all the
way to N. C. to get a girl when we have
so many nice ones here. * * * Miss I.
Drummond, Bill said you did not speak to
him. What is it all about? * * * It ‘|
indeed difficult for us to call the former
Miss Naomi Thompson, Mrs. Naomi ——
——. Wonder if the last name is Reed?
* * * We wonder if the gang around Stew-
art’s Hotel know about the checks that
chef Crump is signing for the pretty
Sheba and her friends, don’t be no chump
n0y, feed her but refuse to sign for her
riends three a day.

Sheba. Better watch your step? * * *
We wonder why Ed. W. took a certain
girl of Division Street out in his car so
late at night. * * * Be careful S. S. whose
house you enter and start your old time
stuff. Its dangerous, no tales, wow. * * *
Be yourself Craig old top, we know a

Why not get one of your own old thing
the woods are full of them. * * * Say
Ed. W. the real Sheik with the red disk
wheel Ford Tell the Tattler why you were
afraid to drive out Broad Street last
Tuesday night. * * * M. C. J., S. ana J.
M. of La Mott how come you leave your
cars parked until the cops catch it. * * *
Meet the latest, the labor chauffeur, who
carries his meals with him. Now tell us

has a date with S. G. of Jenkintown and
took 50 cents out of R. W.’s pocket to fill
this date. Now what do you think of that?
* * * A certain party in La Mott had to
close down their business on account of
falling out with some of their friends.
Who was it? * * * The informal gather-
ings and receptions of the Bobbed Haired
Bandits were quite a treat to certain ones
of Jenkintown. Last sheik W. R. and his
sufficient crow of waiters were the sensa-
tion of the event. * * * We drifted into
Scandal Bed of LaMott the other night and
of course found it quite dry, but it soon
became perfect. * * * Well tell us L. S.

last minute to send in their press copy, we again announce that all
such matter MUST BE IN OUR OFFICE BY 6 P. M. MON-
DAY OF EACH WEEK to insure publication.
If your news matter is left out, it will be because it did not reach

EVERY SATURDAY AFTERNOON OF EACH WEEK.
Another matter we wish to call attention to is the ADVERTIS-

Next, week, the Manhattan Play-
ers, who seem to have endeared
themselves in the hearts of Phila-
delphia theatre goers to the extent
that Manager John T. Gibson ex-
tended their engagement at his New
Dunbar Theatre for another four
weeks, will present William Collier’s
Great laugh success, “The Man from
Mexico”. 7
This farcial comedy H. A. Du-
Souchet is_a real rib-tickler, and’
gives Miss Edna Lewis Thomas and
the other favorite members with
the Manhattan Players a real op-
portunity to show what they can do.
Miss Thomas, whose charming per-
sonality has won her so many ad-
mirers in Philadelphia has been be-
jseiged with letters daily congratulat-
ing her upon her splendid perform-
ance in “The Cat and the Canary”
the opening bill presented at the
Dunbar.
_ “The Man from Mexico,” is one
‘of the funnjest farces ever written,
and was used by William Collier
for several seasons as a starring
vehicle. In the story a hunting trip
into Mexico is the camouflage put
up by the husband to prevent his
wife from knowing the truth about
his incarceration for enjoying a
night off.
The wife, however, is interested
in prison work and comes frequently
with comfort and delicacies for the
prisoners; her husband’s efforts to
escape detection occasion a good
deal of fun, The warden’s mad in-
fatuation for the wife adds to the
complications.
There will be a special midnight
performance of “The Man from
Mexico” on Tuesday, (Election
Night) starting at 11:30 o'clock and
election returns will be received by
special wire and read from the stage.
The usual Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday matiness will be given at
2:30 and the night performances
will start at 8:30.
