As it was impossible to secure colored girls for the revue, they found it necessary to utilize the services of French chorus girls. They are the first American colored girls to ever appear in such a role in Italy and they have met with enthusiastic reception, and received great praise by American tourists and the Italian nobility, who throng nightly to witness their unique dancing.

She’s Trying To : Be the Cutest Cuticle Cutter in Harlem Joe Gans was beginning to make his way up the ladder of success -and Lloyd Thomas and Harry Bragg, were tying dead cat’s on the people’s doorknobs, in Baltimore, Bea was a slip of a girl. In fact, she was at that time an unusual pretty girl—blonde with blue eyes and much envied by the rest of the feminine folks. At that period Bea was interested in books and boys and never dreamed of the hectic days that would be her share a little later on. Her mother being ambitious moved to 1905 Druid Hill Avenue, “the strivers row” of that time. Bea’s boy friends had not found their way in the world as yet, and this rather vexed her mother, who sought a possible suitor among the older men. Bea “Baby Doll”, was also anxious to make a catch and a likeable chap Pete Harrady, head chauffeur for one of Baltimore’s wealthiest families courted her and in a few months they were married. It appeared that the newly weds were happy until the grim repeater stepped in and Mr. Harrady passed out. Bea’s next venture was to marry a man by the name of Walton, who was consider- ably older than herself, in fact he was old enough to be her father and his daughter made a fair companion for “Baby Doll”, however, this marriage was not long lived and the little imps of “martial strife” be- gan to throw stones and they have been throwing them ever since. Their house was evidently made of glass, for one of the stones, perhaps rocks, found it’s way in and, their happiness shattered——a divorce followed. “Baby Doll”, as she was called had ideas and her experience made her crave for adventure. __ Baltimore. “Met“Town”, kad become too small for her. The boys who ‘ama. stand on the corner of Druid Hill Avenue and Dolphin Streets had lost interest in Bea's pretty ankles. So she packed up and came to New York and Harlem, where things at fist seem brighter. Harlem, your Harlem, my Harlem, everybody’s Harlem, is a dangerous place. Wrecker of unsophis- ticated foolish girls who come here from every nook and corner of the Southland. Unlike most pretty girls just landing in the big town, Bea never sought the easiest way. She had ambition and sought a job in one of New York’s largest department stores. Being fair, she easily passed for an Ofay and was doing well until some jealous tight-head senegambion went out of her way to inform the manager that she was colored. Of course, Bea got the, air and has been fired from many like posi- tions because of the same senegambian, who hangs around her shadow, like Grant hunz around Richmond. However, in one in- Stance, Bea’s manager politely called her “Jinx” and taking her into his private office gave her a good cursing out. The manager told Bea to go back to work. With all these knocks and obstacles she was never em- bittered aainst what she considered her people, for her mother is of Spanish Indian origin and her father was an Englishman. Yet, they both preferred to be known as coloured for some reason known only to themselves.” “Baby Doll”, still undaunted got a joo at Koch’s on 125th Street, where she sold stockings. Again one of “Aunt Dinah’s” daughters whispered into the manager’s ear ind Bea was fired. Tiring of getting the air constantly, Bea made up her mind to marry.

One a mail carrier in White Plains and the other a mail carrier in New York City, also, a businessman on West 132nd St. The Boulin's Detective Agency, has been on the trail of Mrs. Bourke for several months, and is said to have collected considerable information, which will be used at the trial. It is alleged that in the month of June, Mrs. Bourke and the man Black, left New York at the Pennsylvania station, with baggages, and proceeded to Asbury Park, where they rented a room from a Mrs. Jackson, No. 1204 Matterson Avenue. It is further alleged that she could be seen at various occasions, driving the Buick car, owned by her White Plains friend. The husband stated that a few weeks ago about 1.30 A.M., accompanied by detectives and several other witnesses, they raided a flat on West 131st Street, where they found his wife in a room with a man, whose name is Cyrus Jefferson. Mrs. Bourke over one year ago started proceedings against her husband and was receiving ten dollars a week. During the raid the detectives claim they recovered from Mrs. Bourke's pocketbook a notebook, diary, etc., which may prove very interesting at the trial.

The Boylin's National Detective Agency, who has been handling the case for sometime, raided apartment No. 56, 100 W. 141st St., about 4:30 A.M. Friday, last, when they claimed they found Mrs. Rogers in Jack Evans' room, half-clad. She tried to hide in the clothes closet, but was carefully extracted, after her beautiful feet had attracted the keen eye of the detectives. The bedroom adjourning Evans was occupied by Mrs. Simmons, the landlady, and her husband, in bed fast asleep. The disturbance raised by the raiding parties, who were accompanied by Mr. Rogers, mysteriously invaded the pariment and when Mrs. Simmons was awakened she became hysterical.

Mrs. Lois Boone Spencer, well known in this city and Philadelphia, who was dangerously wounded sometime ago by her husband has recovered and with her attorney is pushing the case to the full extent of the law. The case was booked for trial on September the 8th, but has been postponed owing to the condition of her husband who appears to have lost his mind. She has asked for a board of alienists to examine his condition, which appears to be grave. Mrs. Spencer was terribly mutilated, but due to the skill of sugeons her wounds are not noticeable.

In her excitement, while she was imploring the detectives not to enter the bedrooms; she claimed that her husband was sleeping in both rooms. However, the raiders dashed in Evans room and by the aid of their search lights, brought forward the half-clad form of Mrs. Rogers and little Jack Evans, dressed in a smart fitting pair or pajamas. At the sight of this the landlady almost fainted. Evans, in trying to explain matters tried to impress the raiders with a funny story that he had only met Mrs. Rogers, for the first time that evening on 7th Ave., and she had informed him of not having any place to sleep; so he became very sympathetic and decided that she share beds with him for the night. This joke caused considerable laughter among the detectives, it is claimed, that two of them lost their new sets of false teeth. Mrs. Rogers has been spending her time in New York and living at 225 West 136th Street. They were married about 6 years ago. There are no children. PAUL ROBESON THRILLS BIG ENGLISH AUDIENCE Emperor Jones Well Received Occupants Of Stall Seats Angered At Laughter Of Those In The Pit. LONDON, Sept. 17. The silver bullet forged by Eugene O'Neill and fired here Thursday night by Paul Robeson went straight to the hearts of an enthusiastic and deeply impressed audience which packed the Ambassadors' Theatre for the first performance of "The Emperor Jones". Save for occasional laughter in the pit, which greatly angered those in the stall seats in front, the whole house sat enthralled by the Negro actor's one-man show and appeared as hypnotized as was the Emperor himself by the rhythmic monotony of the tom-tom. A number in the audience commented upon what they considered its much more effective creation of "atmosphere" than that produced by the heavenly downpour in "Rain". Lighten yo Lighten your skin!

THE KLAN MOVES TO GERMANY HREE American Klansmen have been working during the past six months to establish a branch of the ku klux klan in Germany. The Berlin police have just got a line on their propaganda, which they have been developing under the name of the "Knights of the Fiery Cross." The policy of the gang is to make war on Jews and foreigners in Germany. The German police regard the German lixers as dangerous strife breeders and have been arresting them in large numbers and will continue to do so until the thing is wiped out in Germany. Says a cablegram: "Through the comments of the whole press and of office well runs an und current of wonder that grown men could take the klan's nummery and childishness seriously." Germany will have non of the klan. We are tolerating the klan in the United States and laying up plenty of trouble which he shall have to deal with when we get to it. Strife breeding organizations should not be allowed to do business in the United States. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE BACK IN WASHINGTON EFRESHED by a long vacation in Massachusetts President Coolidge is back in the White House at Wash- EFRESHED by a long vacation in Massachusetts President Coolidge is back in the White House at Washington. The wise ones say the President has studied out thoroughly his Administrative plans, among them the drive for reduction of Federal taxation and economy in expenditures and advocacy of the World Court, but they don't get much further than that. President Coolidge is very Sphinxy. It is difficult to find out what he is thinking about or what he intends to do, and judging by what he really does it is not very apparent that he does much thinking aloud. His thoughts may be many and long and deep, but he does not parade them. He keeps them to himself until he is ready to spring them on the country. Afro-Americans are among the most befuddled group in the country. They have told the President in plain terms what they want THE INTER-STATE TATTLER and they have waited patiently to hear from him, but he has spoken no word and given no sign to them except the sign of silence and inaction which spell death for politicians. Afro-American Republicans are badly down and out. LINCOLN JOHNSON CHECKS IN SUDDENLY N the midst of life we are in death, said the Good Book, and it is even so. Henry Lincoln Johnson, our only National Committeeman, and our most outstanding politician in the Southern States, died at his home in Washington, Thursday morning of last week. He was the victim of a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Johnson has been active in Georgia politics since 1896, when he was elected a delegate at large to the National Convention. He was on of the most active of the lieutenants of the late Col. William A. Pledger and inherited his leadership of the Georgia Republicans. Mr. Johnson was intelligent, aggressive and eloquent, and he knew the people of both races in Georgia he had to deal with, and managed to have his way with both sorts in controlling the Republican politics of his State. He is the last of the old time race leaders, with the exception of Walter L. Cohen of Louisiana, and as a born nghter for what he considered to be right he had the courage of his convictions. We shall miss Henry Lincoln Johnson from the front list of the race's effort to make a place in the sun for itself. YONKERS. N. Y.

The story was 'rushed' on us, on the lessness, escaped the scrutiny of the Edit before publication. Since the publication our attention has not alone by the girls themselves but by of high character, splendid reputation, in musical and dancing talents. In our desire not to hurt the good report conducted an independent investigation, and we are proud to resort that we have found untrue and without any foundation whatsoever petty professional jealousy. We humbly apologize to Misses Powell retraction of the story as a whole. They have which have carried them throughout the well wishes shall be with them always for --- OUR APOLOGY OUR APOLOGY and Fanning: After of last week a story was unfortunately publised concern- which the Misses Lillian Powell, Hazel Coles and May Fan- en present. In us, on the eve of going to press, and due to clerical care- y of the Editor who otherwise would have investigated it attention has been called to the absolute falsity of the story selves but by a host of their friends who know them to be putation, in addition to possessing unusual and meritorious the good reputation of any one, carelessly or otherwise, we vestigation, and now in the spirit of fair play and justice, we have found the story concerning the girls to be wholly dation whatsoever—that it probably came from a source of Misses Powell, Coles and Fanning, by our open and candid nole. They have reached the stage in their theatrical careers throughout the United States, to Paris and London, and our in always for continued success. Interstate Tattler, by Floyd G.

They closed there and are now resting in the Quaker City, Philadelphia, Pa. Viola McCoy has recovered from the dangerous illness that threatened her life a few weeks back and is now ready for work. AT THE CAPITOL CLUB The extremely uncomfortable weather last week did not seem to interfere with popularity of the famous night club, judging by the crowds who danced and were entertained in the Capitol manner. Lizzie Miles (Mlle Lizette) with her stunning Paris creations and those snappy songs that she sings, is indeed a superb attraction. The three red-hot mammas viz: Bea Middleton, Marie Lewis and Ruth Trent can do lots of things with their "Sweet Georgia Brown" number. When they get through telling about that Brown with two left feet, you'll be anxious to meet her. Imperial Lodge of Elks will again come into the limelight, when they hold their 2nd Imperial Elks Night at the Capitol Palace Club, Friday Night Sept., 18th. With souvenirs and the spirit of good-fellowship so characteristic of Elks and their followers this should be a gala event. What the special attraction on that night will be has not yet been disclosed. It must be some secret surprise. According to one of Ridgeley's Versatile Serenaders' latest dance numbers "If You go Sheiking on Your Mamma, Your Mamma's Going Sheiking on You". That must be a threat. However, they certainly can make you like this catchy dance tune. BROOKLYN. N. Y.

B. of Bklyn at the "Colligalihop". *** Raymond Jones with his big limousine really did give us a sweet ride. *** And we also began to think that J. E. Lord was that "So Fly" daddy that he was singing about. *** E. B. of Jamaica you had better watch your step. Things were getting scientific when J. T. and E.

Pe ee ee Pere SIX BEAUTIFUL GIRLS TO DANCE FOR THE HEAD OF A MAN AT TATTLER BALL Clever Artists Of Dance Will Give Interpretation Of The Famous Dance Of Salome At New Star Casino, Friday Evening October 9th. 1925 “ Tattler’ Ball Will Eclipse All Previous In Novelty Of Features The Inter-State Tattler Ball at New Star Casino Friday evening October 9th, will eclipse any previous amusement venture staged by the spicy little pictorial news weekly and is certain to provide many a thrill such as will be gotten at no other affair. The big special feature will be the staging and presentation of the histrionic dance of Salome, known as the Dance of the Seven Veils, a dance that ended in tragedy, causing the death of a man, “John the Baptist", who had scorned a beautiful woman and her love. Six of the best known dancers in the theatrical profession will vie in their interpreta- tion of this most famous of dances, but while it is true that they too will be dancing for the head of a man, there will be no actual shedding of blood as in the case with Salome, who demanded the head of the unfortunate prophet because he refused to kiss her. The dancers who will compete in this contest, will be competing for the head of one of Uncle Sam's illustrious nephews that appears on the Fifty Dollar bills of the United States Government, and that’s that and nothing more or less. Friday, September 18, 1925 inmis dance wil be staked under the per- sonal direction of little Miss Grace Giles, known as the little mother of dance, be- cause of her popular dancing school for children. Miss Giles has had a wonderful experience and success in the histrionic art of dance and is recognized as a teacher and critic second to none. So there is no ques- tion: as to the proper staking of this most widely known of dances. While this dance is to be the spectacular feature of the Inter-State Tattler’s Ball at New Star, Friday evening October 9th, there will also be added features that will make this year’s Tattler Ball one of the most unique and interesting of any affair staged in many years. We are planning a real classy threatrical program, short, but full of spice as well as class. Several of the most popular and prominent artists of the Race will appear and entertain in a way that is sure to please those who attend. The boxes, seating eight, nine and twelve are now on sale at the Tattler Office, 2305 Seventh Avenue, two flights upstairs. Those coming first will have the choice of the larger boxes, the boxes seating twelve, while the late comers will have only the eight and without a deposit and then must be called nine seat boxes. No reservation will be held for two days before the date of the ball. The names of all the girls who will com- pete in the Dance of the Seven Veils will be published next week, with their pictures. Each one of these dancing maids has estab- lished a reputation in the dance world and is considered an artist of exceptional ability. INTER-STATE TATTLER The contest is bound to be keen and three competent judges will be named to judge the winners, who will receive their prizes immediately, as they are named in the or- der of winning. And in case there is any doubt, the judges will be instructed to award each and every one of the con- testants in a tie, the same amount of the place tied for, whether it is first, second or third money. The prize money will be Fifty Dollars divided into three prizes: the winner getting $15.00, second $15.00, and third $10.00. SISSLE AND BLAKE TO BROADCAST FAREWELL Nobel Sissle and Eubie Blake, theatrical stars and favorites, will broadcast a fare- well program through Station WEAF of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, in New York City, on Friday evening September 18th at 9.35 P.M. to 10 P.M.

Take note that no adenoid adjusting will be permitted after the thrilling dance of SALOME. CASEY AT THE BAT Anthrax Bacillus "Wouldn't it get your goat?" if you played on a team and after making a home run you only received fifty smackers, while an extra player "call-in" made a double and got three-hundred. "It would mine." "Wouldn't it get your Nanny?" if you made a triple play and an extra player stepped in and copped a thousand berries? "You bet your life." But if the thing was reversed, I wouldn't say a word. "That's the way of the world." They Dine So Differently THE INTER-STATE TATTLER FLESH & THE DEVIL SAY NOTHING RAL MONKEYS Here is a man who doubted his wife. Day by day the doubt grew until it became a living torment. We sympathize with Dick Wells — yet Mae Fortune is a clever girl. Senorita Santos Riviera was selected as one of the prettiest hundred out of 32,000 baby dolls in a recent newspaper contest. Her round face and plump figure must have been her greatest asset. She is now with a Broadway musical comedy. At last Jackie Williams woke up and gave Fred Nixon the air. She has a new daddy and he has put a pretty sparkler on her finger too, we don't mean maybe. A new law has been sustained at Asbury Park next season there will be no one-piece bathing suits except those four inches above the knee, and bath houses will cost 50 cents with or without. And can you beat that. All married ladies who are box-holders at the TATTLER'S Ball, October 9th will have the privilege of "skating" "cheating" or "gold digging" without the notice of the three moral monkeys after that date. James H. Jarratt's Barber Shop formerly located downtown is now at 2472 Seventh Avenue. Mr. Jarrat wishes all of his friends to pay him a call. We wonder if Ted Younger and his used-to-be wife Elizabeth Mars met during the week he was in the city? They say that she even parked her car in front of her sister-in-law's home in St. Nicholas Ave., several days on the lookout. Antoinette Black entertained Pearl Gray, Thomasine Corrothers and Mamie Lewis with a theatre party the other day to see "Lady Be Good". We hope they all learned to be good. Floyd Calvin of the Pittsburgh Courier had a little bank roll, and he started to buy a Ford car and the Missus raised Cain, and said she would rather have a home so now he has a cosy apartment. She's a southern girl and they believe in getting a home before buying a car—a good idea. Le distingue Monsieur Floyd G. Snelson Jr. tres spirituel, en a rendre visite a Mll. Carlotta Grant.

Detectives are trying to find the thieves who broke open the transom of the Dingle Law offices in the new building and stole two new typewriters. Frank Jenifer is really fixing the apartment decorations of class for the homecoming of wife and the new daughter. Carlotta Grant the charming Philadelphia damsel is located in her new apartment and her new French parrot is "too bad." What will Marie Lane do with all her daddies, she brought from Saratoga. Preacher is back in town after three months in Saratoga Spa. He says he's still broke as usual. The red hot mammas have all got the same chance.

Briggs of the Carmen Beauty Shoppe is adding new attractions to her already up-to-date parlor. That's right old dear. You sure do turn 'em over. "New Building" (135th & 7th Ave.) is now known as "The Beauty Emporium". There's one thing we all know, the "Hair-Friers" are the only ones who can pay that enormous rent. Anna (Bellsonia) Randolph, the queen of Asbury Park is expected in the city soon, after a healthy season. She and her sister Katie Scott of Baltimore, motoring over to Washington for the Reindeer's Convention before returning. Lillian Hopkins her niece a cruel "brown" of Baltimore is a big attraction in the party. Lionel Belasco what is wrong with you and Estelle Everette. Too bad Willie Europe bit her in the back. Evidently the recent operation rendered Adah Howell 100% strong. She has taken to office work assisting her husband Fitzherbert the Real Estate Magnate. Frankie Belt engaged a suit in the "Beauty Emporium", but he saw so many other hair bobbing specialists there that he changed his mind and decided to sit still. He doesn't like the ladies company anyway. We wonder how Al Delany could find time to go to Seaside Beach, without sweet mamma. Tessie Lee Conolly of Washington is still enjoying Harlem, and that Sheik has a good go. Sweet Papa Bubbles is singing I'll take her back if she wants to come back. But Miss Frankie says "Say it with Bucks." We notice that Eloise Walker one of the pretty "Young Ducklings", is back in town. Who is the cousin Edna from Washington, whom you have with you? Isn't it too sad our own little Ruth Royster has gone back to Brockton, Mass. We wonder what Mr. Freddy will do. Friday, September 18, 1925 Ruthie Giles, gee but you looked awful swell strolling down the Avenue the other night. Friend Ernie disappeared mighty quick. Oh, well. Sue Green, we hear sweet daddy went away after that midnight dance at "the dine so different" rendezvous. Say Allen Stoute did you go all the way to City Island to visit some young ladies from St. Louis ? It's too bad you were disappointed, being as tired as you were. Poor boy! Frank Hailstock, why don't you stop taking the ladies to eat on your nerve. Bad business, old man, bad business. Marie Colbert and Clara Wammack popular red hot mammas we understand that you all after the gay party at a certain apartment at 654, got hinkty because the lady wouldn't open her last bottle of champagne. Now girlies you mustn't be that way as you know you don't get champagne at any parties, furthermore you girls had enough. The beautiful "brown" Alice Bell the charming school teacher returned home after a delightful summer in the city. She was the guest of Mrs. Dolly Williams, Andrews Ave. (1914-9th Street N. W.) Alphonse Tribie of the Haitian Consulate seems to have quite an attachment for the Washington school teacher. Page Lucile Denny and Alice Bell. Joseprine Baker, we don't blame you for leaving the Plantation for Paris. Professional jealousy will always keep you down. We are with you and understand the jive. Aubrey, just because the radiator resembles a Rolls Royce why pick on those who are not motor wise? We agree that by the time "Chicken" gets through it will be a "Rolls Rough," instead of a Pierce. Mrs. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, and Billy Rickman, certainly had a mean ham, "Virginia Ham". No wonder they looked so happy. Don't forget Bill loves 'em too. Watch out Siamese you don't get your jaw tried. They say Back Biters don't last long, I am told. Listen, where did that Runt run to when mama walked School St. the other night. P. S. Watch your step. No matter how many Shebas Libby has he don't forget Emma Moungin. They were seen strolling the beach of Asbury Park, Labor Day. Say Libby, who bought you Mac Farlan, the Queen in 141st Street? She is some girl, the best in town. Oh, boy! A champagne party was given by Miss Frankie last week in honor of Mr. Jack Van Dyke. Well, Miss June did her stuff. Poor little Buck went out like a light. Frankie was christened with champagne. Jack fell so hard for Jackie that she decided its nothing to do but keep her sweet papa from going to England. Miss Frankie sings 'em to the world she keeps her sweet papa tucked away. We see Bubbles was not in on the party. Now Ruth don't bite June in the back because her sheik has plenty of bucks. Billie Ransome we are at a loss just why you couldn't answer the doorbell. Were you in a compromising position - you answered. Someone rather interesting must be lingering in the Bean City for Dr. Foster (Rudy) as a stag motor trip up there turned out to be quite different on the return and then a few days later when we look for Rudy, we see him and Perkins tearing down to make the midnight express. We wonder who the little Indian Song-bird is. Phone Bradhurst 3488 ee eT TTR CO ETN ER Friday, September 18, 1925 F. K. Watkins, the movie king of Dur- ham, N.C., left the ‘city Tuesday in his Hudson sedan enroute home, having dis- played the film of the Elks’ Convention. He enjoyed a fine visit in Harlem and was not by himself either. The charming Lulu Eggleston is expected in the city soon, if she can ever escape the clutches of that cruel sheik in Atlantic City. _ Lulu Brown and Dick Harris make a real good pair, and the way they strut it in Atlantic City this summer is too bad for the people. While Goldie Cisco and Lucile Smith were receiving long distance phone calls in Atlantic City from Frank and Harry at Connie’s Inn, there were two daddys wait- ing at the door. Look out Nona Burke the hot mamas will steal that good butter and egg papa if you don’t be careful — oh those terrible cats. The lobby of the new building (135th and 7th Avenue) makes quite a good “of- fice” for Florence Deloatch Richardson; hours from 12 to one. Harry Brooks seems to enjoy aping with a certain tea room proprietress, there's one thing certain, he can be sure of something to eat anytime. It's strange Eddie Armstead fired the girl in the pressing shoppe, after praising her ability to the highest. Sandy Thompson is too bad for the peo- ple since he hit the numbers. He even re- quires a Luxor to after kosher sandwiches in 116th Street. HARLEM CLUB TEN COMMANDMENTS 1. Reserve a table in advance on Saturday or Sunday night to be sure of admittance. 2. Do not offer any gratuities to the head waiter or the Captain as soon as you enter the door. If the service was satisfactory tip one of them a moderate sum upon leaving. 3. Bring along your own “atmo- sphere” with you. It avoids con- troversy and is much safer all around. 4. Do not get too friendly with the waiter. His name is neither Charlie nor George. Remember the old adage about “familiarity breed- ing contempt.” 5. Pinching the cigaret girl's cheek or asking her to dance with you is decidedly out of order. She is there for the sole purpose of dis- pensing cigars and cigarettes with a smile that will bring profits to the concessionaire. 6. Do not try to sing and enter- tain, as they have special artists paid for that special purpose. Besides it has a tendency to disturb the rythm. 7, Make no requests of the leader of the orchestra for the songs of the vintage of 1890. Crooning “Sweet Adeline” was all right for your granddad, but times, alas, have changed. 8. Dont forget when paying your bill, examine the check when the waiter presents it. Remember they are human and are liable to err — intentionally or otherwise. And don't be over generous in tipping, why he a chump? Twenty per cent of your bill is quite sufficient. 9. Please don’t offer to escort the entertainer or the hostess to her home after her work, or try to make a date with the cloak room girls as they all have husbands or sweet- hearts who usually provide them company each morning. 10. It is poor judgment to flirt with ladies at another table, whether her escort is looking or not, as he might be her husband, or a hard boiled sweet heart. | THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Ruth Walker is now at Club Alabam’ expressed a world of ag after quite a session at Connie's Inn.

Mrs. Susie Popkins has returned home, having spent the summer at Boston, Mass, THE MODERN “DEVIL ON TWO STICKS” By W. Gardner Jones, Jr. (Republication Forbidden) If some malicious magician suddenly turned all the houses in the country to glass, there would be some surprises, eh? Yet that is what a divorce trial does to every poor couple that is driven to the court. What if your residence, dear lady, sud- denly lost that opaqueness of its walls? Or what if you learnt that all the neighbors had acquired X-Ray eyes and radio ears and knew everything that went on in your home sweet home last night? Would you carry your head as high as usual on the way to your shopping this morning? Or in case everything was serene last night, what about last Wednesday or Tuesday be- fore last. In one of the more poignant of the other days divorce-dishes, it was testified that a poor husband, driven frantic by suspicions of his wife's fidelity, ran to her and thrust his revolver at her but not with the in- tention of shooting. This man held the handle toward his wife and muzzle toward his own heart and he cried to her: “Shoot me if you are not guilty — guil- ty — guilty!" He declared that she cowered away more afraid of the weapon than he was. This did not look pretty in a divorce court or in the newspaper columns, but it expressed a world of agony, a heart break- ing crash of trust and of hoped-own side of the story, of course, and nobody knows the whole truth. How many who read felt sorry for the poor principals? How many grinned and gloated? In the divorce courts one catches flashes of life as it is actually lived. Sometimes they make the wildest melo-dramas of the stage and screen look tame. The criminal courts inform us of the murders and other explosions that break the peace. But the divorce court is the sad end of the world’s romance. How many, scenes there must be that never reach the courts! You must know something about your neighbor's or your relations or perhaps your own family that makes your blood run cold to remember, that you would rather die than repeat. Does this knowledge make you more merciful to the poor wretches whom the searchlights of publicity of the Hudson River night boats sometimes flood with surprise some couple supposedly safe in seclusion ? One's criticism of the other people is al- ways a criticism of one’s self. Your re- action to your neighbor’s misfortune is the exposure of your own soul. There is a famous French novel by Le Sage, called “La Diable Boiteux”. It makes fascinating reading in the English transla- tion under the name “The Devil on Two Sticks.” In this story the devil lifts the roofs off the houses in the town and revealts the startling things that are going on behind the quietest walls and the demurely shad- ed_ windows. The newspapers are our modern Diables Boiteux. They wisk more and more roofs and walls away from peoples homes ani lives. It is almost unsafe to take a bath with any expectation of privacy. Since time began the lust for gossip has been one of mankind's chief vices. The scandalmongers began playing the devil on two sticks when they first whispered and giggled over what was going on the cave below or on the bough above. We are al- ways imaging what we cannot see, putting two and two together and making seven, and then multiplying as we pass it along. Prominent people all live in glass houses nowadays. They cannot find any other kind of houses for rent or sale. Let them flee on their yachts and the wireless will pick them up. People who are nobody in particular can get just as swift a trip around the sphere if they will only do something picturesque. Nobody is safe from everybody. The richer you are the less you are able to purchase obscurity. Doubtless more homes than we would like to imagine are kept together rather by cowardice than by affection. Just how valuable is this virtuous hypocricy? Is it saving the world from disaster? Or is it perpetuating a form of spiritual cacer? Is it a crime for a man and woman to go on living together when they have grown to loathe each other's souls and habits and foibles? Or is it a magnificent and saintly sacrifice? How much of one’s life ought one to give up to the blight and the canker for the sake of outside appearance? Is it not well to hide one’s light under a bushel? Is it right to smother one’s soul in an unhappy homestead? We all know men and women who are dwelling together in an unbroken misery of mutual dislike. Sometimes they play the game for the sake of the children. But sometimes they have no children or their Page 9 Then she informs the chosen one of his luck. This is a long way from the cave days, when the husky bridegroom proposed with a club and made sure that the lucky girl did swoon by swatting her over the skull. She did not go down the aisle on the arm of her father, but went into the cave hair first. The girl of our time rarely keeps enough hair for a suitor to get a grip on and, as for a club, he would be a brave man, in- deed, who would dare assault one of our athletic maidens. Or, if he got her in the cave, she would pull it down on his head. Is marriage going the way of betrothal? Some people say that polygamy is once more in favor, only in a serial form. In the days of the patriarchs only the men practiced it. Now the women vie with the men. It is frightfully chaotic and the com- plete destruction of the home is freely pre- dicted by numberless good people. But before we despair we should take a look at the true conditions of those good old homes. We might ask why, if they were so pure and solid and beautiful, thew’ are falling apart so rapidly now. We know or can easily find out, that there was a ghastly amount of sin and woe in the world in the good old days. Millions of illegitimate children cluttered the earth. Far more infants died than lived. The only freedom for unhappy women was in a life of sin and the streets were througed with the outcasts. Ignorance spread the disease of vice so that whole dynasties were wiped out, hist- ory changed and populations devastated. Women married at twelve or fourteen and were old at thirty and generally dead a lit- tle later. Who would go back to those days? No- body who knows anything about the true conditions of those times would dare praise them as ideal. We must be nearer the ideal now for surely the world has pro- gressed, surely it progresses. Should we not then look on these do- mestic agitations as struggles toward a bet- ter condition? Should we not feel sympa- thy instead of scorn fur these peor victims of publicity? And after all, what is pub- licity but a form of honesty and a kind of ventilation? In the good old days people kept their windows nailed down and feared the sunlight and the cleansing winds. Now we build our homes so that the air may circulate. We dress so that our skins may breathe. . Perhaps we shall gradually come to live so that we shall not fear the light of pub- licity. Perhaps everybody will grow so honest or so callous that he or she will not ie neighbors either rule or ruin his or her ife, Until that golden day, we might remem- ber the sharp old saw: “people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.” And we might well remember that any moment the walls about us may become as glass to the penetrating rays of the public press. If we cannot be perfect we had ketter be merciful. SIS QUANDER SCORES IN RICHMOND Sis Quander, well known singer and en- tertainer has made quite a decided impres- sion in Atlantic City this season, where she has been the champion “Blues” chirper at the Egg Harbor Grill.

The sensational colored athlete performed brilliantly in de- feating a select field in the 50, 75 and 100 yard dash event, leading such speed kings home as Jackson Scholtz, Chet Bowman and Alfred Leconey. - It was sweet revenge for De Hart, who was placed third in the A.A.U. cham- pionship 100 yard dash race, last July, San Francisco California. Francis Hussey and Jackson Scholtz were placed first and sec- ond in the order named, in one of the most questionable decisions ever rendered in a meet. The three runners had finished in a dead heat and how the judges reached such a decision has caused a world of dis- cussion. But Hubbard never complained. He swallowed the bitter pill with manly co- urage and bidded his time to prove he is the king of sprinters as well as jumpers. So when the invitation was sent him to compete at the K.C. games, he jumped at the opportunity to measure strides with the Eastern speed kings, hoping to meet Hus- sey as well as Scholtz And_ this. despite the fact that he had to ‘condition himself for the gigantic task, no longer having the careful coaching and conditioning of his old university coach. But he came and conquered, winning all three events in masterly style, with an ease and grace of the born athlete. He led Bow- man, Scholtz and Leconey to the tape in the order named in the fast time of 534 seconds; then romped away from Leconey, Scholtz and Bowman in 744 and rubbed it in good and proper by capturing the 100 yards from his arch rival, Jackson Scholtz, leading the 200 meters Olympic champion home by almost two yards in the good time of 101%, despite the terrific finish that Scholtz made. Reputed to be one of the fastest runners off the mark, if not the fastest, Hubbard surprised with a finishing speed that met the determined challenge of the famous Scholtz and increased his lead several feet in the last twenty five yards over his famous rival. De Hart ran all three events in much the same manner. Off the starting mark at the crack of the gun, he was in full stride and going like a rifle bullet he had reached the twenty yard mark. His powerful legs gathered greater speed with each stride and his arm motion was perfect and fascinating, carrying him forward in perfect unity of action with his flying feet and legs. And so De Hart came, conquered and the east accorded him a rousing ovation as he con- cluded his gigantic task and trodded off the field a well pleased athlete, for the time being. Cecil Cook, of Salem Crescent A.C. the national A. A. U. junior and senior 440 yard champton, placed third in the event, Joe Tierney getting revenge by capturing the event from his colored rival. Cook had won the title from Joe, in the recent A.A.U. meet out in California, and Joe was out to get even for the defeat. Harry Reichman placed second. Salem-Crescent runners captured places also in the 100 yard handicap, Everet Don- ald with a 7 yard handicap getting second place and Carlton Innis with 4 placing fourth. J. Glegg was second in the 600 yard run for novices. Page 10 Joe Hall handed Charley Manty, a sec- ond lacing at the Commonwealth Sporting Club last Saturday night, in the feature ten round bout of the evening. He handled the white boy with ease and after the fifth round, Manty had shot his bolt and never gave his conqueror any trouble. The lad from up state was on his toes at the top of the opening gong and kept plunking a nasty left in the New Bedford lightweight’s face. Manty tried hard enough, but Joe was an elusive target that danced in and out and around at a lighting pace. During the first three rounds, Manty forced the milling but could never get by that annoying left and in close enough to hammer at Joe’s body, as he was advised to do by some of his supporters in the crowd. After that, it was just a question of whether or not the Buffalo boy packed a knockout punch. Joe shot his right hand true and flush to the white boy’s jaw a number of times, but it only staggered Manty for a second or two. Manty’s mouth was badly cut and he bled rather freely, but held the red fluid in his mouth and spit it out between rounds. Hall weighted 13544 pounds and Manty 134.

Watson and Charles West have had frequent conferences ‘with Captain Long concerning plans for the coming season. All phases of the sea~ son’s campaign have been worked out in detail and candidates for the team have been impressed with the importance of pre- season training with the result that letters from men all over the country are pouring into the Coach's Office, reassuring him of hearty co-operation. The success of the season will depend up- on the success of this early training. A new system is to be inaugurated and many new men with reputations are to be tried out.

J., in the feature event of twelve rounds at the Laurel A.C. of Newark, N. J. The fight was a corking exhibition of the manly art with both lads giving a masterly exhibition of their ring knowledge. Ward dropped the colored lad in the second round but Harry scorned to take a count and was up almost immediately. Then, just to show that he also carried a knockdown wallop, Dudley crashed over a short right that sent the Elizabeth fighter to the canvas, badly stung, for a nine count. And Ward had to call upon all his crafty ring knowledge to stick the round out after rising. From there on it was a clever boxing ex- hibition with Ward playing it safe and keeping shy of the right mitt of the Cali- fornia welterweight.

This wide awake organization with a desires, has excelled year after year and splendid efforts to please the dance elite For the coming dance at New Manhattan, the famous old amusement center, they have engaged two of the best dance playing units in America, in Eddie Elkin's and his "Club Richmond Orchestra" and Fletcher Henderson and his "Roseland Orchestra", the two bands alternating all through the entire evening, beginning promptly at 9:30. And despite the fact that in previous years, the club has presented exceptionally classy entertainment, this year promises to excel any event in the years of the great beyond. The club made a ten strike in landing Elkins and his famous Broadway musical organization, which has taken Broadway by storm. Broadway may be fickle and all that, but just the same you have got to "Deliver the goods" and that is just what Eddie Elkin's and his "Merry Men" did. This younthful leader is naturally gifted and a violinist of exceptional skill. His success in the musical world reads like a fairy tale and is replete with many amusing and interesting incidents. To Al Jolson goes the credit for the discovery of this gifted artist. Mr. Jolson it seems, found Eddie, with bow and fiddle in a Los Angeles cabaret and recognizing the young fiddlers worth, packed him up and shipped him to New York, under contract. And when Eddie arrived here, he soon made good the comedien's boast "That he. (Elkins) 'll be a sensation in New York". Jolson was right, only Elkins was more than a sensation and fickle Broadway folded him tightly unto itself and worshipped him as it had done no other. As for Fletcher Henderson, well what the folk in upper Harlem don't know about Mr. Henderson and his Roseland Dance Orchestra, is not worth telling. That Roseland Orchestra with its popular director, Fletcher Henderson himself, has become endeared to the dance lovers of the big city and is always a most welcome factor at any affair they play for. During the past two or three years they have appeared before the local public, their work has been of a very high standard. The Bretton Hall Boy's have featured excellent dance programs in the past, presenting such noted dance orchestras as Paul Whitman, Vincent Lopez, Ben Bernie and Paul Specht, all direct from Broadway and in the height of their glory. That in itself is a record to be proud of. It has been their motto in the plans for a coming dance classic, "Bigger and better" and they have certainly presented each and every affair in a way that has reflected great credit on their club and has won them a wonderful following who never fail to welcome a Bretton Hall Boy's Club affair. And that means a great deal. All of their affairs radiate tone and quality, are social events that appeal to the elite and draws the better elements of dance lovers. NUDE OBESITY OF BATHERS KINDLES WRATH OF JUSTICE Denouncing in unmeasured terms the ponderous obesity in the nude of female bathers on the beaches and the progressive hairless female cigarette smoker, Supreme Court Justice Minturn in his charge to the Hudson county, N. J., September grand jury also referred to the prevalence of gambling, speeding autoists and the smoke nuisance. The charge read in part: "As to gambling, at its best it is a survival of our primitive existence." Gambling at church fairs and in bazaars conducted by social organizations, wheels of fortune, raffles and similar money raising devices are also attacked.

ROYAL THEATRE A HOUSE BEAUTIFUL Many were the exclamations of surprise and admiration as patrons of the Royal Theatre entered their favorite movie-house after the house had been closed for five days to allow the decorators to complete renovations.

On Saturday afternoon, September 12, another event of major importance occurred when Pitman Manor, South Jersey's newest pleasure resort, opened its doors to the public. Located in Pitman, N. J., past fourteen miles south of Camden on a tract that comprises 94 acres of woodlands, fields and orchards, Pitman Manor bids fair to become one of the most popular resort in Jersey. Good roads shorten the distance between Pitman and points in nearby states. Motor buses leaving Camden every hour carry prospective patrons to within two blocks of the Club. Many notables from Camden, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Trenton and Jersey City visited Pitman Manor during the past week-end. Mr. Benjamin F. Robinson, genial manager of the Manor, promises tennis courts, croquet grounds and a nine-hole golf course, later. It is hoped that the lake will be completed for the coming season, as well. Meals were found to be above criticism. The rooms are tastefully arranged, and a radio set and victrola have been installed to provide indoor sports during the fall and winter months. Every detail which should go to make this new resort a favorite with the discriminating public has been attended to, and Pitman Manor is a welcome institution. SOMERVILLE, PA.
