(Special To "Tattler") Social New Jersey was this week thrown into a panic of apprehension due to the un explained disappearance of Miss Rheta Sutherland, the beautiful and talented daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Sutherland, society leaders of Glennridge. Miss Sutherland left home on Tuesday, apparently for school. At 5 P. M. she had not returned home, and her parents phoned to her school to see if she had been detained. The school authorities advised that she had not been at school since noon of that day. It was then thought possible that she might have gone to the home of one of her numerous friends. At 8 o'clock however, she had not returned or communicated with home. Her parents became apprehensive, and notified the police of her disappearance. An alarm was broadcast throughout North Jersey, but no information could be received of her whereabouts. Late Wednesday afternoon a friend of the family with some detectives suggested that an effort be made to locate the most ardent male admirer. It was well known that Mr. Teddy Valentine, special correspondent of the New York Tattler, had been paying considerable attention to Miss Sutherland, but had been denied admission to the Sutherland home. The family desiring a match of larger proportion than Teddy could offer. A hurried visit was made to Valentine's home, and after waiting for two hours he came in and admitted that Miss Sutherland has been on an automobile trip with him the week previous to one of the Shore resorts. He willingly agreed to go to the place where Miss Sutherland was staying for the day and bring her to her parents. Both Valentine and Miss Sutherland agreed in the story that they took the trip to the Shore, and returned to Newark about 11 P.M., and that because she had not received the consent of her parents, she was afraid to return home. From this point, however, there is a little difference in the stories told by the various parties. One is that they rode around in one of the parks for the rest of the night. The other is, that Mr. Valentine took her to the house of a relative of his, and had her remain there. The Sutherland home was recently the scene of one of the largest and most important social events of the year, when Miss Sutherland had an eighteenth birthday and debut party.

COLORED MILLIONAIRE IN THE MAKING ON FASHIONABLE AVENUE Solomon Riley Alarms Residents Of Fashionable West End Avenue With Sign On House New York City, June 8. Solomon Riley, a colored real estate operator who owns and occupies a residence at 770 West End Avenue, located in an exclusive white section, has placed a sign on his residence which reads "After alterations this building will be used as a Club for Negro Youths for the culture of Negro cultures dances and philanthropic and religious purposes." Biley has assured the lie of his white neighbors. He attributes his attitude to a restrictive comment on the adjourning property which he says, this made it difficult to dispose of his reality at a profit, as a cloud is now on the title. "The builders of the fifteen-story apartment house at No. 760 and 770 West Find Avenue would have gladly bought my plot, said Riley, also but not the restrictive clause frightened them off. The building laws are such that erection of a tall building on my lot would be out of the question. So I have decided to turn the house into a club for Seven boys." While some of the neighbors question Hiley's sincerity, many read the sign with misgivings, evidenced by the numerous letters and telephone calls he has received asking if he would consider selling. In April the city took title by condemnation proceedings to seven acres of the southern portion of Harts Island, adjoining the City Prison, which it has acquired from Hiley. The amount to be paid him has not been determined. Some real estate experts appraised its value at 2958.000. DUKE MORGAN GETS LONG VACATION FOR ROBBERY Philadelphia, Pa., June R.

Young Morgan's child bride, was led many in tears, as Monte was spared away to the County prison. MR8. GRACE HAYLEY DIE8 SUDDENLY Mrs. Grace B. Hayley, Md.

BY POLICE COMMISSIONER Cabaret Managers Yield But Claim That Vidict Is Illegal, Order A Surprise, Patrons Hiss As They Vila Out For Home Coming as a surprise to the owners and patrons, of Cabarets, Police Commissioner Mr. Laughlin's night club edict became of active Tuesday Morning June 8, at 2 A.M. Under threat of the edict to close or be arrested, night club proprietors throughout the theatrical district agreed to comply and then gathered among themselves to "organize to light the closing order." "The closing order is absolutely illegal", they claim. The edict came as a surprise and was not made public until nearly midnight, Monday. The action of the New York police seemed early this morning to be a drive against all suspected places, as well as those where there is dancing. The first arrests were at a drinking place at No. 400 West 15th Street, where Brent Freese entered with his squad when persons were admitted after 2 o'clock, although the place had agreed to close at that time. Po he said they found a half out of liquid. The legal status of the police whose was not definitely defined, but it was indicated that it was made under the dance hall licensing regulations. The 2 o'clock hour for closing was regarded as a compromise between Mr. M. Laughlin and Mayor Walker, who, while a friend of the cabaret, has indicated he does not approve of daylight closing. The Commissioner has said people ought to be able to finish their after-theatre suppers by 1 o'clock. The Mayor thought 2 o'clock would be about right to keep homeward bound revelers from facing "decent work ing men and women on their way to their daily tasks". Whether Harlem cabarets come under the order has not been disclosed. COMMENCEMENT WEEK AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY This is commencement week of Howard University.

Morbid with Dudley, well known Theatrical producer, who monthly, were treated with some choice bits ley's mild testified that on various occasion George Davis, a Washington Policeman, Washington, D. C., June 8. Morbid witnesses who attended the divorce trial of S. H. Dudley, well known Theatrical producer, whose income is alleged to be in excess of $2,000 monthly, were treated with some choice bits of scandal, when Minnie Johnson, the Dudley's maid testified that on various occasions Mrs. Dudley, had improper relations with George Davis, a Washington Policeman. In the support of Mr. Dudley's claim, the Johnson girl charged that at Mrs. Dudley's request she cleaned up Davis' apartment and washed his linen, and on one occasion Mrs. Dudley sent her over with a rug, two pairs of window curtains, a bed spread and other furnishings and at one time bought bed linen for her dear "Duckie" cop's apartment. Minnie also alleged that Mrs. Dudley, joined Davis her jewelry to wear at a police trial, where he was up for the murder of a man by the name of Cooper. Mrs. Cantey, the wife of Mrs. Dudley's uncle, made an affidavit that Mrs. Dudley visited the apartment of Davis while Mr. Dudley was out of the city. Mr. Dudley telephoned his residence three times during the night, Mrs. Cantey sweats, but Mrs. Dudley was out, Minnie Johnson, the maid, telephoned Mrs. Dudley at Davis' apartment, Mrs. Cantey declares, and begged her to return home, but she would not do so as she was having a hectic time with "Durkle", Mrs. Cantey also declares that Davis stayed in the Dudley home with Mrs. Dudley on the night of February 23, last, and that Mrs. Dudley remained out several nights during the absence of Mr. Dudley, Mr. Dudley himself made an affidavit in which he says that Mrs. Dudley has told him that she intends to go to Chicago as soon as the court grants her temporary alimony. In an answer to these affidavits, Mrs. Dudley denies the various charges against her. She declares that when marital troubles first began in their home, Mr. Dudley told her he would permit her to catch him in a compromising position with some woman if she would get a divorce and give him his freedom. She spurned this suggestion, Mrs. Dudley says, and he stated to her that if she would not get a divorce, he would, boasting that he had sufficient money to bribe witnesses to testify falsely against her. She charges that he is continuously an der the influence of booch and every night carouses with other women. She says that he has frequently boasted of his ability to fool the examiners of the Income Tax Unit by painting his expense account in connection with his various theatrical enterprises. She questions the motives of Minnie Johnson and Mrs. Mathilde Canley in making offidavits against her. Minnie Johnson was sloven, unsanitary and a generally worthless wench, Mrs. Dudley says, and would have been discharged by her, except for the interference of Mr. Dudley. She in curred the displeasure of Mrs. Canley, Mrs. Dudley says, by refusing to permit her to have a man meet her in the Dudley home on two occasions in the absence of Mrs. Dudley. Mrs. Dudley brands as a falsehood the statement of Mr. Dudley that she told him she intended to go to Chicago when she is given temporary alimony. ```markdown ``` Why not get the best when it costs no more!

Miss Giles dancing kiddies are said to be very much up on the art of dancing and they, beyond a doubt, lived up to such a reputation last Friday night. The entertainment in every possible type of dancing was very much in evidence, from the classics to the popular Charleston. It is rather encouraging to Miss Giles, to know that her Dancing Class is surpassed by none that we have witnessed. About twelve-hundred people or so was present at the Casino when the Kiddies were wont to do that which they so much love-dance. Every one had one grand time of his life thanks to Great Giles and her wonderful class, Page 4 Comment (Reference) OF URBAN LEAGUE E WITH DINNER PARTY Committee, Served As Toastmaster.

Twenty five hundred Harmony phonograph records have been purchased by the management who will give one free to each patron that night. Harmony records are manufactured by the Columbia Phonograph Company and this marks the first record made by Fess Williams and his orchestra for this organization. Each record will be autographed personally by Williams and will undoubtedly be a souvenir worth having. In addition to all this a special feature prize dance will take place that evening during which six Regal phonographs will be given free to six lucky patrons of the Savoy. Fess Williams and his boys are busy as bees soliciting their theatrical friends to make an appearance that night and from all indications a vaudeville show of rare excellence will grace the Savoy disappearing stage. Many other features are promised and everything points to a huge turnout in honor of Fess Williams. There will be no advance in prices. Mr. and Mrs. Chas Moore entertained a few friends at her residence, 140 W. 142nd St., in honor of Prof. and Mrs. Miles Conners of Richmond Va., who are here for a very brief stay and who also expect to visit quite some cities before returning to the Southland, including Atlantic City, Washington and Philadelphia.

This gland is located in front of the neck, below the Adam's apple, "hugging" the windpipe. Because it is a gland of internal secretion, it has no outward leading ducts. What the gland produces is taken up by the blood. The function of the thyroid gland is principally that of a regulator of metabolism that is, it regulates the burning up of the food material taken into the body. More than that, it strongly influences various body reactions and functions. The diseases of the thyroid gland are primarily conditions in which the gland does not produce enough of this internal secretion or where it provokes too much of this secretion. The first of these conditions where too little secretion is produced is known as hypo-thyroidism. The second where too much is produced is known as hyper-thyroidism. The essence of both hypo-thyroidism and hyper-thyroidism is an abnormal functioning of the gland. In hypo-thyroidism, the symptoms can all be grouped under the heading of "a slowing up of the processes of life", a dulling of reactions and a stupification of the entire being. The little child whose thyroid gland is not producing enough of the internal secretion will look stupid and will have the face of an old man. He will be stumpy and his hair and skin will be coarse. His tongue will stick out of his head and his eyes will have an idiotic look. In the older person we have a similar appearance, The person looks "blubbery"; he moves and acts slowly. His speech becomes slow and indefinite and his intelligence dulled. These conditions are particularly striking when they develop in the man or woman (more commonly in the woman) who previously was wide awake and responsive. (To be continued) ERIE. PA.

J. Melvin E. Mayo, Mgr. Friday, June 11, 1926 MONTCLAIR. N. J. The dance given by Mrs. E. M. John at the beautiful Metropolitan hall was very successful, there being a large crowd in attendance. The Hall was filled, and almost everyone spent an enjoyable evening, as the Club Paradise Orchestra played all the latest jazz. Among those present were: Mrs. Fuller and sister, Mr. and Mrs. B. Green, Mr. and Mrs. Oldham, Mr. and Mrs. Maddox, Miss Johnston of Orange, Mr. and Mrs. Eason, and others. We wonder who the young lady is who writes Mr. W. H. all the wicked love letters. Remember old top that Kip and Alice never expected theirs to be used against them. It is rumored that the Ramblers Club will start out on a short tour, covering Scranton, Pa., Buffalo, N. Y. and Binghamton, N. Y., under the supervision of Cleophas Mayo. They will start via "Ankle Express", Monday. The others included in the expedition are Mr. H. Harper H. L., E. M., H. G., H. H., and C. D. We hope they will enjoy their trip, but may all their children be Radio announcers. Who is the shiek that goes to see Miss M. H., and takes M. H., and Brown Sugar car riding so often? The car bears an Omnibus license, so we say, eat him up you drive company, only the rich can afford it. Little Shirley Jordan, the Charleston Kid, was seen in his old home town, Montclair, N.

SENATOR King of Utah set a precedent as a democrat when he championed the cause of freedom before the United States Senate in the interest of the Black Republic of Haiti. He said that Haitians were oppressed by American military and naval tyrants assigned to government positions. Louis Borno was reelected last April as the president of Haiti by the council appointed by himself, yet the Haitian constitution provides for the inviolability of domiciles, the freedom of the press trial by jury, for political offenses and those of the press. All these rights, of Haitian citizens have been ruthlessly violated by the American government with Louis Borno as a pussyfooting figurehead. It is generally conceded that the $40,000,000 loan floated without the consent of the Haitian Parliament will keep the treaty officials in power indefinitely. The Haitian Parliament's doom was sealed by the Marine intervention in 1915. There is no doubt that President Borno's election is illegal, inasmuch as the Haitian constitution provides that its president, must be a son of a native born citizen. Louis Borno's father was born in the French West Indies, and his family were in exile until 1841. Most of the lucrative positions in this little republic, are given to American whites while Marine (buck) privates are elevated to official positions in remote sections, with the excuse that Haitians are incompetent. These "Devil Dog" officials are creating a bad influence in their respective localities by their tyranical methods and moral laxness, by living openly with first one black woman and then another. While there is much to condemn about the way Haitian citizen's rights are being trampled upon, it is possible that some good may arise. However, the balance is in favor of a New York banking institution and other Industrial Corporations who are stealthily acquiring large tracts of land which will never be returned to the Haitians, even though the letter of the treaty may be lived up to. Granted that the Haitians have been incompetent, there is no reason why the United States should not respect the fact that it is his country, and if we want to play big brother, Americans, could at least be fair. American efficiency no doubt will be good for the Haitians, but the cards are stacked against them and by the time that the treaty expires, if it ever does, American Corporations and the mulatto children of the Marines will own all the valuable land and the poor black Haitian peon will be a wage slave like his brother in South Africa. The destiny of black people can only be solved in a country governed and owned by them. The nordic, with his professed hate of his darker brother, will not even let him have peace in his own land, and the reason, purely an economic one: Haiti is a veritable paradise, with rich lumber lands, minerals and sugar cane, coffe and cocoa plantations which when developed will pay big dividends. Yes, we must have dividends, but at the expense of someone else. THE Supreme Court decision, that white property owners may agree to restrict certain areas for exclusive residence of themselves, and not sell or lease to Negroes, is legal. The INTER STATE TATTLER, after carefully examining this case, has decided that it does not conflict with Afro-American's rights as provided for in the fourteenth and fifteenth amendment. Colored people have as much right to restrict areas in which they live as the nordics, and the better element of them should by all means learn to develop areas of their own, and use restrictive measures to oust the grafting aliens and parasites that usually infest Negro neighborhoods. Then individual members of our group, who oftimes outgrow these neighborhoods, would not be so desirous of buying in districts. Subscription Rates: One Year $3.50; 6 Mos. $2.00.

New York, June 6, 1926. Hon. William E. Borah, Washington, D. D. My Dear Senator: The people of New York State will vote in November upon a referendum introduced in the State Legislature by Senator Karle and myself. This measure was adopted in regular form, goes upon the ballot in the Fall, and its fate will be decided by the people of New York State—and by nobody else. Hence, might I ask with all due respect, what has Idaho got to do with it? This query is prompted by your recent attack upon our measure. Roughly, your argument consists of two points. First, that every statute and constitutional amendment should be literally and sternly upheld, and, second, that the action we are taking is not legal. As to the first point—laws to be enforced must have public sentiment behind them. Other wise, unless modified, they become dead letters. In every State of the Union there are statutes that are never enforced, because the common sense of the people will not stand for them. Consider the blue laws in certain sections for example. CITES 14th AND 15th AMENDMENTS But perhaps you base your demand for pitiless enforcement on the ground that a Constitutional amendment is at stake, and that a constitutional amendment possesses peculiar privileges deserving of an extra amount of respect? If that is so, Senator, why don't you try to do something about the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? We all know that their provisions are ignored in the Southern States. I, a humble member of the New York Legislature, cannot do anything in the matter. You, as one of the leaders of the United States Senate, could accomplish a lot—if you wanted to. But you don't even try to do anything. Please tell me why the Eighteenth Amendment is so much more holy than the Fourteenth of Fifteenth? WOULD FIND WHAT VOTERS WANT In its last analysis this referendum is an honest attempt to find out the views of the people of New York State. You have always been regarded as a 100 per cent. American, anxious to represent your constituents in an American way, and many, many times have expressed yourself as "representing the people" on this, that and other things. We in New York are trying to ascertain what the people want. Is that un-American? We believe that only by modifying the present obnoxious statute will it be possible to have real enforcement. And on this matter the views of the people of New York will be valuable, much more valuable and important than the proclamation of leaders of the Anti-Saloon League, or of men who think they see prospects of political advancement by pandering to such prejudices. And lastly, Senator, this referendum is a family affair—a conference of the members of the New York State family, so to speak. We are supposed to have States' rights, and one of our rights should be to find out, for ourselves, by ourselves, just where we stand on the problem of improving what is to us an obnoxious law. If Idaho has a State referendum, my hope is that the moderates win, but I would do nothing to bring such a condition about, regarding the matter as one for the men and women of Idaho to settle for themselves. Good taste keeps outsiders from interfering in a family argument, Senator, and when outsiders do interfere they are never thanked by members of the family, and very, very seldom do they find it has helped them, personally or politically. Very truly, National Republican Club, 54 West Fortieth Street, New York City. Friday, June 11, 1926 Diathermy One of the most widely used currents today for the treatment of injury and disease is the much discussed diathermy current. Diathermy is the local raising of the structures of the body. The word itself means heatthrough. Diathermy is no One of the most widely used currents today for the treatment of injury and disease is the much discussed diathermy current. Diathermy is the local raising of the structures of the body. The word itself means heatthrough. Diathermy is no more of an electric treatment than Xray treatment is an electric treatment, electricity merely being the means of conveying the treatment to the parts treated. Diathermy is divided into two kinds, medical and surgical. Surgical diathermy is used in the bloodless removal of warts, moles, birthmarks and certain forms of cancer. Surgical diathermy also includes that most spectacular feat of removing tonsils by electricity or electro coagulation. (Electro coagulation of the tonsils will be discussed next week). Medical diathermy is used in the treatment of pneumonia, bronchitis and asthma by sending an intense heat through the chest although no burning is felt on the skin. It is also the best known means of attack against neuritis, rheumatism and arthritis. In the treatment of the so called women's diseases nothing that science has developed compares with diathermy. What is the reason for this? Is it plain hocus pocus and merely psychic. No, diathermy is pure and simple heat; it is heat generalized in the tissues of the body themselves, and many degrees higher than it has been possible to obtain it without tense pain. Hot packs, hot water bags and various pouliercis were grandmothers methods of applying heat, and all of us can testify to the relief they gave us. We can readily appreciate, therefore, the value of a heat localized right in the affected part and from 110 degrees to 120 degrees Fahrenheight. What is the scientific effect of heat? 1. It increases the circulation of blood to the part. 2. It has a tendency to check the progress of infection. 3. It promotes drainage and accelerates healing. Diathermy will institute relief in many conditions where everything else has failed and will shorten the convalesence when used in conjunction with other measures.

In honor of this great leader and his sensational orchestra We have set aside at the SAVOY With a tremendous program of joyous events to make it a NIGHT OF NIGHTS 2500 Harmony Records played by Fess Williams Orchestra will be given free to Savoy patrons. Six Regal Phonographs will be distributed that night-in a special feature prize dance. AN ALL STAR VAUDEVILLE PROGRAM and a superb array of surprises by Fess Williams himself. ADMISSION ONLY 60 CENTS New York NO THING HEAR NOTHING SAY NOTHING BY— THE THREE MORAL MONKEYS --- Page 8 WANTED A MAN By Ann Lawrence Lord, Send me a man, A plain honest man His name can be Jack, John, Jim or Dan. Don't send me a pirate With flags to unfurl, Or any great Hero Who has conquered the World, Just send an "Ole Dear" Ploughed up out the ground, A diamond in the rough, Just like he was found; Don't polish him up Don't meddle his looks I don't give a darn If he's never read books. He can wear blue shirt, And tan overalls, But for God's sake let him be a man — That's all With Ann Mc Connell spending her vacation in Studenville, and her loving daddy pinning himself away in Harlem, it would be bad if some other Sheba stole him away. Joseph A. Neal is no relation to Eugene O'Neal the playwright, but from the way he plays the back stage of the Harlem theatres watching the girls in tights you'd think he was looking for 'color'. Gladys Goode told a certain scribe that she was engaged, and would soon be married. Does that mean that you will be lost to the Savoy, Old Deah? It's a funny woild, all right, all right. For inst'nere there is a certain well known and prominent quartette of near-lovers in town who are finding more pleasure in their various avocations then they find in the company of each other-and why, did you say? Simply because they are types that represent the irresistible force that meets an immovable object. You may know them by their initials: B. A. and C. A; W. B. and F. M. No prizes for an answer Harold Carr is still one of Harlem's best bankers He stands by the Chelsea bank nearly every day watches the folks as they pass in to make deposits. From the manner in which you were making that exit from the new church on Edgecombe Ave., one might think that you were getting ready to do an act, Mr. Eddie Dorsey. If Francis Mason would only realize that she is now living in New York instead of Hartford, she might get along better. Now that Mildred Anderson and our boy friend Flingy Brown has went and done that thing-married-the gang are saying "you never can tell". Harlem had it that they NEVER would. Helen Mitchel-Lenox Ave. is no place THE INTER-STATE TATTLER FLESH & THE DEVIL SAY NOTHING RAL MONKEYS to display hosiery of the kind you wear. They belong on St. Nicholas. Now that Myrtle and Mary and Clarence are good friends again, everything is smooth along the Potomac. Cora Brothers, former manicurist of the Imperial Barber shop had a sermon read to her in a beauty shop, where she is now on location. The married lady who read the sermon took as her text: "Thou shall leave my hubby alone". The married lady to emphasize her sermon more forcibly, laid the rod on Cora. You had better get baptized Cora as your sins are finding you out. Miss A. B. of 144th Street: where are the folks these days? Your interest is "juice jarties" and girls are paramount, yes: It is "too bad the little gentleman can't stick around as a good name is better than gold. Joseph Crawbey spent a lot of time in "Strivers Row" Sunday. We wonder if he was interested in the Doctor or the little Miss. Well, Joseph Quinn, no doubt Commissioner Mc Laughlin's edict on the closing of Nights Clubs will put a stop to your rolling home at 6:30 A.M. in the morning. "Get it fixed, brother". Frank Whittaker's atmosphere must have been rather warm when he noted Dick Harris with his lady friend Saturday evening. Baxter Jackson, aren't you afraid to leave Kitty without protection after Frank's none too gentle edict? Earling Hawley, why not move to New York? The taxpayers are rather vexed at your wearing our sidewalks out. What has happened to Agnes Potts? Has she decided that the New York cake-eaters don't fall as easily as the Quaker city ones? even tho' they do dive into paint pots once in a while. Mrs. Sadie Rogers gave a Red-hot Party at her home last Week-end which ended sometime in the wee-hours Monday morning. It was really "too bad" for the folks the way June made that orange blossom which Mrs. Rodgers claimed had too much blossom in it that's all. Mr. and Mrs. Butler, Miss Martha June Johnson and all the gang was there raisin' cain. Yes, sir, when they turned that party on everything was hitting on all sixes, make no mistake about that. Of course, you know that blossom didn't have anything to do with it all, not at all. They got it fixed and everything, hey, hey. AMY BROWN Amy Brown a knot buster ritzy, Her mind is not quite clear, When singing the Snitza Comisky. As a high yaller she's a dear, Beware the air, Mister Smitsky. FAIR AND WARMER Tom Jones, and the boys did an "Earl Carroll" with some unknown Joyce Hawley last Saturday Night, and we just missed the bally old thing. They say that some big guy reminded them of Irvin S. Cobb who must have had a telegram or some urgent business for he was seen to retire somewhat gracefully. We were asked not to print any names for the boys do not want news of the bath tub and the drinking out of the only glass, to be mentioned, so that's that. Grace Perkins still denies that she is married, but after we have seen her with the main Oscar at certain times and places, we just can't think they are not wedded. Talk about a shrewd guy, that Travis is undoubtedly the shrewdest we have seen round about. Why we encounter him places where we would least suspect. She is nothing but a child, old man and a word to the wise ougt to "get it". Gene H. is a bit worried about the dear little girl, we understand, for she has gone so far into the show that he hardly thinks that she will ever come back. We don't think so, either old man. In fact we have very little hopes now. Some guy socked the Dick Thomas a terrific one over the peeper, but some how we couldn't get the low-down out of the fellow. All he would say is "You ought to see the other guy". Of course, we have heard that sort-a-stuff before. Eloise won't admit her own now that someone took her up. She tries to side-track the issue. Of course, we knew right along that she wouldn't have the crust to admit it. So you see, little girl, it isn't as cute as you thought it was, is it? Carlile's party was just right out there. Yes sir, and Boots Irving and Clopton got their joy out of the blame thing. They tell us that our own Bernice is to be married soon. We know a few including the City Editor, who will be sorry for the dear little girl they shall have missed. Bobby Branch has been raving around now for many days about some 'Oscar' or the other. Of course we know that "the Bobby" doesn't really mean that for we have heard her rave before. Take it easy, old pal, you'll last a bit longer, you know. The "Collegiate Cab Co." is making a lot of money now. It enables the President thereof to take a trip to Washington, when he so desires and the assistant-president stays at home and either invests the rest of the income in more cars, or gets "it fixed" otherwise. Page Teddy Daniels, and Fats Bright. Gladys was at the Inn Sunday Night, and oh, that "as a matter of Form" and all that. Yes, sir, she took the entire place by storm. We saw some competition for the main crawfish, whoever he is. Bert Horn, was at the Inn making a lot of noise, as usual. The man came near showing him the way out and home; look out fellow. George Sheffy and Charles Brown was seen on the bank corner Sunday afternoon. The fair ones at home must have had company or something like that, for we know that it takes a lot now-a-days to get those two "Hill-Billys" in from Mount Vernon. Glover re-opens with the Bramville Club next Sunday afternoon his Popular Sunday Afternoon Assembly which promises to be full of pep and all that. It's going to be red-hot, they say; that's all. We see that Al McQueen has gone back to his Mary just as we predicted a few days ago. She looked sweet to us at the Inn the other night. Nancy was not a bit herself Sunday evening. What was your ailment, old thing? --- Friday, June 11, 1926 PIPING BALTIMOREANS --- Is it true that a man cap stop his car any place at any time, when he is on business? It may be all right, but it is not expedient. A certain dentist stopped a Rollin Sedan, that we believe belongs to a certain insurance man, in front of the Attucks the other night, about 2:00 A.M. Using our privilege of thinking what we please, we began to wonder, why did the dentist borrow this man's car, when there might have been a swash up, thereby affecting seriously the routine of the man's work on the incoming day? There is a company in town whose business is to rent cars. You must have been up to some of your scandalous tricks, or you would not have parked the car on Dolphin Street, but would have parked in front of that Madison Avenue address to which you were bound. Be careful that you do not get into a jam like a certain young lawyer who meets an ofay, and was roaring to go, that's before he went. He had to jump out of the window, holding on to his pants and leaving his coat and hat. Be careful before "De Ducts" get you. *** We walk the streets daily, snubbing people and scoffing at others, and thinking ourselves better than most people to place a veil around our lives. You can fool all the people sometime, you can fool some of the people some of the time, but not as long as the Jews speak Hebrew, can you fool all the people all the time. Charlie and Dot are still fooling some of the people but everybody, even the "Afro", will get the lowdown on you one of these days. Far be it from me to think that it is all right for a gentleman medical student to take a gentle Elementary school teacher to a rear room of a Pennsylvania Avenue bottleg joint to spend the afternoon. Make noise easy for scandal will out. *** It is a wonder that a certain T. T. S. teacher doesn't give up his Dr. Jekyl-Mr. Hyde dual personality and be somebody. You have no regard for friendship. Anything is all right when you scheme to materialize your uncanny and selfish desires. How do you get the nerve? You must not have received your money's worth the night that Theophilus McClain came over from Washington to stay with you, to have cruised the taxi driver that you had ordered and to send him back, because he did not go that way. That bridge is going to weaken under a heavy train one of these days. *** Females in the selling game, have a lot of barnyard manure with them. A certain young woman around town, who is popular, men only, is selling men's furnishings, socks, night shirts, and draws. It is just too bad when she holds you up and massages your weak mind with a line and places her hand on your shoulder. You are sold when she tells you how good looking you are, and how much better you would look if you would wear her line of goods. Look out or she will get you. *** Commencement week is close at hand. Now we wonder if those jazz crazed teachers of the High School will run in on the numerous activities of the students, and be the kill joys that they are when they become ambiguous at these affairs. * ** Irvin Hamer don't pull another of your stunts of the "Young Rajah" type. You look out for the girls. We know your style of looking out. Looking for someone to take for a ride in a dark country road. Be careful, if you can't be careful be good. Sandy Thompson is a light brown now since he had a Turkish bath, the rubbers, however, separated him from his cane for one time in his life. L. H. F., a prominent tooth puller of Seventh Ave., is entirely too well known to be seen exiting from certain houses in the wee small hours of the morning. You can't do it and get away with it, ole top. The dancers must pay the piper. It is very surprising that Lenore Parker is not married yet. Al has been blowing off long enough about them getting hitched up. 1922 — BRAMVILLE IS OPEN —1926 GRAND RE-OPENING OF THE CLUB ASSEMBLY Sunday Matinee, June 13th, 1926—Matinee Every Sunday 3.30 UNTIL 8.30 P.M.

Any way, dear one, tell us more, tell us more. Can You Imagine: Eloise Walker passing for Ofay. Tom McNeil getting some brains or "Black cats ankle Dust" Harold Lloyd, not being with some married one or the other. The management trying to keep "Cos." out of the Bamboo. Dick Thomas not for ever trying to "cut in" when you are with some fair one or the other. Sunny Cunningham leaving the cheering outside when he has lost at poker. Allen Stoute without that little "Yellow baby". A Pretty Pierrette being on the water wagon. We heard that Dorothy Irving was working at the little Restaurant, around the corner, but we just couldn't believe that at all. Any way we were around there and the one-time actress doesn't look the same at all, she even seems a bit slow slinging that terrible hash. Berkly thinks he has the better go with the little flapper. But he is welcome to all that and some more with her, he won't have any competition, whatsoever. George Rannis, made himself a bad fellow the other night, over at the studio, when Mr. Thomas spoke to him about his very good rug that George's friend had ruined, by arguing back with the manager. George, we gave you credit for better things that that. Our own Lulu, will be in a show at the Lafayette Theatre next week. Gene will have a good chance to play stage-door-Johnny now. Paul Halloway will edit a column soon in "What Young Men Are Wearing." We know he will reach some verv marvelous heights. What, say, "ole topper?" They say Mae Ross, will soon marry the Spanish barber. Of course that will give us food for thought. Laura and her friend Billie, are just as "some-timy" as they can be. Well, a little bit of suddenness of the city life will do that-sort-a thing, you know. Harold Lloyd, plays the married lady jam-up. Every time we san him he is so busily engaged. Banks, is trying something else at the Inn. The way that guy is trying to bulldoze the public. My! my! and he doesn't even get wise to himself. They are on to you, fellow, you might as well know it now. Eddie Dorsey was showing some charming young thing a deep point, over in the corner there for a while. We sweethearts. Every time we see Sir William Long he has a new "Frow." How do you do it, Willie, how do? Glover will open his Assembly again real soon, then we know that every thing is going to be all right. 1922 — BRAMVILLE GRAND RE-OPEN CLUB ASS Sunday Matinee, June 13th, 19 3.30 UNTIL 8 Music LAUGH IN EVER THINGS THAT BURN US UP AND KNOCK US COLD People who can't sing "Dinah" but do... People who can't get on, who tell you where to get off. People who ask you for fight passes, when we get only two for ourselves. Girls who wear garters below their knees, but hand you piercing glances because you admire them—and get sore if you don't. People who ask your candid opinion and then disagree with you. Comedians who make one person laugh and then yell: "I knew you were in but didn't know where you were sitting". Chorus girls in Harlem revues who always say: "Why don't you put my picture in the paper?" Readers who telephone in on Wednesday night (after press) and say "has the paper gone to press yet, because I have a little social that I want you to put in". Newspaper men, who hand you the glad hand on the street and then tell the world in thir columns that you're a bum. Cabarets that announce in glaring advertisements: "no cover charge", and at the end of your visit place at the bottom of your bill a notation: Amusement Tax $1.50. Girls who kiss boys in Parks and other public places just for amusement. Fellows who hang out on street corners and chorus after a passing celebrity: "I knew that person when they used to hang out the wash on Saturday night so that they would clean underthings to wear to church on Sunday". Friends of Florence Mills, Harry Wills, Sissle & Blake, Miller and Lyles, J. Finley Wilson, Prof. Kelly Miller, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who claim personal acquaintance, but never recognize them as they pass by. Of course, we don't believe that Thomas Rhone is to be married. If anything, we think the old boy has done that thing already. They tell us that Dick Harvey is all engrossed in his studies now. No more catting till he gets that Medicine. More power, old boy, more power. Say Percy, what's this about your getting married and all that sort-a-thing? Tell us more, will you, tell us more? B. J.'s brown has started singing "Cheating on me" the gang knows who he really loves. A certain Brown sang "Not on the first night" to J. R. but didn't say not at all. A Cutter and Yegg Man that's Jim Robinson these days. We admit that you are pretty to look at Miss R. B., but don't take Belford James too seriously. He is Just for Fun. Miss Leona Bolden and Agnes Potts are terribly popular these days. A visit to the Mid-Week-Prom any Wed. night will convince even the most skeptical of this fact. Straighten us out, is Cornelius Wilson sweet on Leona or is it that Leona is sweet on Cornelius? Hey, hey! E IS OPEN —1926 NING OF THE SEMBLY 1926—Matinee Every Sunday 8.30 P.M. EVERY LI BOTTLED SUNSHINE Bottle sunshine would not be an inappropriate name. It has a place in general life as well as the sick room. It has been found that even hens which have been allowed to run around under these rays for a certain length of time lay much larger eggs and more frequently. On account of its power to kill germs, drinking water and water for swimming pools are passed under these powerful rays. In the Drury Lane Theatre in London, the Manager has recently established an ultra-violet lamp in one of its dressing rooms. The members of the cast have been required to loaf around under its rays for several minutes each day to increase their efficiency and pep. At my own University of Chicago, Coach Stagg is raying each and every member of his foot-ball squad with ultra-violet rays so that his young hopefuls may hit the line with even more of their accustomed vim, vigor and vitality. In New York, where more than in any other place, so many participants of the gay night life never see the sun, the wise old owls of Broadway are taking advantage of this new midnight sun and are becoming as sun burnt and rosy-cheeked as if just back from Corral Gables—the Miami Riviera. In the Lying-in hospitals, all of the Stork's new arrivals, are placed day by day in a large room fitted with an enormous light, as a preventive of ricketts as well as a general drugless tonic. What seems almost unbelievable is the fact that ricketts may be prevented and even cured by exposing the food of children to this light as well as exposing the children themelieving pain and producing that general selves. Some one must have hit the Reflexus members in the can with a baseball bat and told them they could play ball. "I am against the Jim Crow Bill. There is no probability that this bill will be seriously considered." Peck Craig, with the Seven-Eleven burlesque company, now playing in the Bronx, claims that she is a better football player than Red Grange. At that, Peck may be right. She sure can toss the er, oh never mind. Entertainer wanted for R. R. Fare Apply TATT 169 West, 133rd St. Entertainer wanted for small Detroit Cabaret. R. R. Fare Furnished.

WEST CHESTER, PA. The past week has seen quite a bit of excitement over the mass meetings for Vare and Pepper. Thursday the Vare followers of which Mr. John Francis was chairman held their meeting at Masonic Hall. Mr. Fuller of the Legislature, Mr. Gilmore, Representative of the Sesqui-Centential, and Mrs. Morrisette of the Municipal Court of Phila. were the speakers. Monday prior to the election the Red Hot Peppers met at Masoic Hall to listen to E. Washington Rhodes, recently appointed assistant Dist. Attorney of the U. S., George Wharton Pepper, Candidate for Senator, Paul Mackeree, Mrs. Walter Burton, Marshall Cain, Rev. Spann and Rev. Anderson. E. T. Loud was chairman of the Pepper meeting. The Liberty Band gave a street parade on both occasions. * * * In spite of the large crowd at the Mass meeting Monday night many attended the card party held at the Overtown. The affair was sponsored by the waitresses of the Overtown for the benefit of the Chester County Hospital. Prizes were awarded to the men and women having the first three highest points. Sammy Felder, you are quite welcome now that Walter has moved. All you have to do is to pay the rent, buy juice, keep up the installments on the player, and say home sweet home. We hope W. Hooper finds time in the future to attend our next meeting. We know he will if he will only let certain parties alone long enough. Ira Fry was at the last meeting and he wasn't full of Italian Red. Can you beat it? Tell us, Caldwell, did you get it fixed? Our boy Chief Grey was at the Ball but he was locked up. Hey, hey. Sport and Theatrical News Page 10 MUSICIANS ENJOYING BILLIARD TOURNAMENT Stanley Peters Leads With 7 Victories And 2 Defeats. Lewis Makes High Run Defeating Johnson The ivories danced to the tune of some of New York's best emperors of jazz at the Lafayette Billiard Emporium, 132nd St. and Seventh Avenue, last week, and King Billiards was in his ecstasy. To express all of the thrills and Charleston steps demonstrated by these emperors of jazz is beyond the ability of the writer. Mitchell Lewis created something of a sensation defeating J. Rosamond Johnson in their match of fifty points. When Lewis went to bat for the last time, Johnson had 49 points on his string to Lewis 36. The latter then proceeded to snatch the game out of the fire of defeat and close the door of victory in Johnson's expectant face. He ran out with an unfinished cluster of 14 points. Johnson was dumbfounded and when the gang gave him the Ha Ha J. Rosamond found it too hot and sought air. Grabbing his hat he rushed to the street and was last seen breezing down the avenue like a forest fire. It was Johnson's sixth straight defeat and it was too much for him when so near winning a contest. The only one who seemed in sympathy with Johnson was Joe Breen, who twice has been defeated with victory within a point or two away. Once he was defeated when he had 48 on the string and again with 49. But misery loves company and these two will no doubt organize a "Misery Club" of their own.

Friedman fought Mickey Walker, ex-welterweight champion, twice and Walker never had any decisive margin of superiority over the Chicagoan. In fact, he fully held his own with the then champion according to some of the reports. Friedman can fight; he is of the mauling type, strong, able to take a world of punishment and generally makes good fighters look bad. McVey wanted Friedman because of the latters great showing against Mickey Walker. He figures that he can stop the Sailor and in this way force recognition. Friedman has met the best of them in the welterweight division and while he has lost a few close decisions, nobody has put him down for the fatal count. Jack is out to "Shake That Thing" and "Stop It". McVey should win easily. He is in the best condition he has been in since he defeated Allentown Joey Gans. Watch him.

I am very thankful to me the courtesy of y a word to your readers. Last week we celeb sary of our management AL BROWN KNOCKS OUT J. PETTIBONE AT COMMONWEALTH Al Starts New Knockout Record. Bruce Flowers Hands Dixie Lightweight A Whipping In The Ten Round Semi-Final Al Brown added Jack Pettibone to his new list of K. O. victims that he is compiling since his Garden debut, when he dropped the visitor for the full count in the fourth round of a scheduled ten round bout last Saturday night at the Commonwealth Sporting Club. Just previous to the knockout, Pettibone was down for a nine count and all at sea. He was plainly outclassed and in distress. Brown tore after him as he struggled to his feet and crashed home that dealy right and it was all over except the counting. Bruce Flowers had his work cut out for him in his bout with Boots Antley of Brunswick, Georgia, and proved his metal by outgaming and outfighting the cracker lightweight. It was a thriller and had the fans nicely keyed up. When Antley was introduced as from Georgia, the bleacherites stormed and howled. They wanted that Georgia boy's quick demis. But the visitor from below the line proved that he could fight despite two very big handicaps. To wit, his being a southpaw and from Georgia. He made Bruce step at a lively pace to keep in front. He ate up Flowers hardest smashes and came on for more, which he got. The decision went to Flowers. COTTON CLUB'S REVUE AGAIN AT LAFAYETTE Public Sentiment Seems To Be Verging Around And Club Vehicles Are Not So Popular Now That Their Novelty Has Worn Off For the second time within the past three months, the Cotton Club's spirited and spicy revue was presented at the Lafayette Theatre and, while the attendance was capacity as usual, the lack of enthusiasm and listless way in which the offering was received, indicated that the folks are becoming fed-up on such contraptions. With a fairly strong cast and a splendidly trained chorus unit of pretty maidens, beautiful of form and marvelously costumed (to the point of scantiness of wearing apparel) and the Cotton Band, the entertainment was very good. Regardless of the fact that principals of the cast are supposed to be the box-office asset, the big drawing factor of the Cotton Club's offering was the chorus of ten pretty dancing maids. And one particular number seemed to appeal to a certain element, which loudly applauded this number at every opportunity. But there were any number of others to whom the questionable physical actions of the dancing ensemble did not appeal. Some were very loud in their denunciations while the attitude of many others indicated that if they were not exactly offended, they certainly did not approve of the demonstration. Mary Stafford, Mildred Hudgins, Henry and La Pearl, Mae Alex, Bessie Allison and Ray and Lloyd were the principals in the production. STERLING GRANT WELL Friends of Sterling Grant, whose brother and mother have sought him through the columns of The Tattler, will be glad to learn that he is very much in evidence as a member of the "7-11 Company". Incidentally Sterling would like to inform his friends in the West that is making good with a vengeance. Mr. Bennie Butler c/o Inter State Tattler 169 West 133rd St. N. Y. I am very thankful to you for extending to me the courtesy of your publication for a word to your readers. Last week we celebrated the anniversary of our management of the Lafayette Theatre. The success that has attended our efforts during the last year need not be dwelt upon. We were fortunate enough to come into possession of the best equipped theatre in Harlem. The rebuilding of the stage and lighting system, the installation of new scenery and draperies, a large upto-date. pipe organ, carpets, lighting fixtures, etc., quickly transformed the theatre into one of the most comfortable and cozily-furnished in Harlem. And a sincere effort on our part to give actors and producers a "fair break", brought to us the "pick" of colored entertainment and we can say without exaggeration that during the past year, the Lafayette Theatre has presented motion picture and vaudeville programs far superior to those presented in this city. More than one producer has left the Lafayette with an unlooked-for cash bonus because his offering met with greater success than was anticipated. In the face of daily "S.R.O." business, in the face of consistent pressure from producers and friendly advisors, we have maintained our low price policy. It was this determination to present to our patrons the best obtainable entertainment without increasing our prices, that led those who controlled Florence Mill's activities to present her show at the Alhambra instead of at the Lafayette. I have no idea of how profitable an engagement Miss Mills had at the Alhambra. But I offered her manager terms which would have assured him a most satisfactory profit on the engagement, but he refused to permit her to appear at the Lafayette unless we raised our prices. This, we refused to do. Three weeks ago the Alhambra presented Rector & Cooper's "Tan Town Topics", the orchestra prices being $2.20 and $1.65 top per seat. This show was presented at the Lafayette Theatre at our regular prices of 15c to 50c. together with a good motion picture program. Practically the only difference between the presentation at the Alhambra and the presentation at the Lafa- Lafayette Billiard Emporium LAFAYETTE THEATRE Seventh Avenue at 132nd Street Lafayette Theatre 132nd St. and 7th Ave. New York, May 26/26. Friday, June 11, 1926 THE BOXING CLUB JACK McVEY yette was that Bill Robinson appeared with the show at the Alhambra. Irvin C. Miller's Brown Skin Models appeared at the Lafayette Theatre during the early part of the season, as part of our regular program, and at our regular prices. Last week the same show was advertised at Hurtig & Seamon's at prices several times those charged at the Lafayette. We are thankful to the many patrons of the Lafayette who made possible our success, and we can safely express the gratitude of the scores of entertainers and producers who have come to the Lafayette during the last season, and who were able to ask and get more money for their offerings than they ever believed possible. We have already mapped out our program for the summer, and it seems as if we will be able to continue the same standard of entertainment as we have during the past year.

The trip was made in Mr. Lawrence's stunning Buick sedan. ```markdown ``` Dr. Edward Smith and Dr. Quincy 'Skeets' Waters are being congratulated upon the bestowal of a degree in Pharmacy by the Pharmaceutical school of Temple University. Both young men are well known locally. Miss Helen Tippett of N. Van Pelt Street has returned from a recent visit to New York, where she spent several days as the welcome guest of friends. The Roadside Grill, ever the rendezvous of Philadelphia society folk, has never more nearly approached the zenith of popularity than now. Much of this resort's phenomenal success may be rightly attributed to the winsome, gamine personality and incomparable talent of petite Miss "Billy" Griffin, who in private life is Mrs. Prince, wife of the young cornetist of White Brothers' Orchestra now appearing at the Roadside. Miss Griffin—or just "Billy", as her friends delight in calling her—possesses a rich contralto voice of rare sweetness, as well as the ability to use her dainty feet to advantage. Her interpretation of the latest quirk in Charleston dancing is inimitable. In brief, this delightful little lady has an undeniably "cute little way all her own" which the Roadside patrons do not fail to appreciate. Mr. Edgar Jones, popular young Philadelphia who is a student at Union University in Richmond, recently returned home from his Alma Mater to spend the summer months with his mother. Mr. and Mrs. William E. Dixon of 2020 Bainbridge Street motored last Sunday to Baltimore, where they were royalty entertained by relatives and friends. It is with keen regret that we learn of the illness of one of our most prominent citizens, E. Washington Rhodes, who recently was appointed Assistant United States District Attorney. Mr. Rhodes is confined at the private hospital of Dr. W. Harry Barnes, eminent specialist, where he underwent a minor operation. It is understood Mr. Rhodes' condition is not serious, and relatives and friends hope for his early return to health. SONS OF PROMINENT NEW YORKER ENTERTAINED Master Charles L. Thorpe, Jr., and little Monty Thorpe, juvenile son of Mr. Charles L. Thorpe, prominent New Yorker, were the guests of Mrs. Lillian Sharpe McNeal, of 1220 N. 19th Street, this city, at a very pretty party given in their honor Saturday afternoon, June 5th. Twenty little folks made merry on the occasion, among whom were noted the seven young Adgers, children of Mr. and Mrs. Julian Adger of Christian Street, and Miss Gladys Pollard, petite daughter of Attorney and Mrs. William A. Pollard of S. 15th Street. Mrs. McNeal has on many occasions proven her power as a very wonderful hostess to adults, and the delighted little ones eagerly acclaim PHILADELPHIA SECTI WM. E. PETTUS, Dist. Mgr. PHILADELPHIA SECTION PHILADELPHIA OFFICE: 1026 S. 17th Street her equally as satisfactory a fairy godmother to kiddies. After a merry afternoon of much revelry, many lovely favors and toys, plus all the delicious goodies dear to little appetites, the future social leaders of our city departed reluctantly for that place like which, after all, there is none other, leaving behind them the young Thorpes, happy indeed, and fit and willing subjects for their inevitable nightly rendezvous with the Sandman. Mrs. Zaida McDougald and Mrs. Ethel Sessom, charming young matrons of New York City, spent a short time in our city over the week-end. They were fittingly entertained by Miss Helen Tippett of Philadelphia. JUST FOR FUN Bill Easton could easily be starred in a new revue called "Sleepy Time Man". The ofay must be a little "heavy" for him. Ray Hood of Roadside Brevities has improved wonderfully since he discarded that dirty bathrobe and has gotten on speaking terms with a barber and G. T. Young's "In-a-aMin-it". Keep it up, Ray, and you'll look like Mr. Roadside himself. The "Arpegio Girls" party at 5529 Vine St. the other day was. "Just too bad". Wonder how Ed Marriott wil make out for dances at the Mid-Week Prom since his relief drummer is playing Stewart's Hotel. If you think Brown, of Brown and Marguerite, isn't a regular guy, just stand on Broad Street and watch him flirt by in the Flint with a load of pretty browns. Well, Jim Robinson succeeded in putting through his Sunday Midnight Dance. Think Jim's broads won't be there in large numbers? Krowds Keep Koming to the Mid-Week Prom. Leon Smith is about to be made "chief introducer". He seems to know all of the good lookers. With Sunday midnight shows losing their punch and power, it had to be somebody, so go-get-em Jim Robinson is putting on the first Sunday Midnight Dance. We see that Ray Davis eased in on the Sunday Midnight Dance. Why not? Ray is popular and one sweet man. Lillian Williams, Doris Wilson, Annabell Laws and Lilliam Lawrence attracted plenty of attention when they drove down Seventh Avenue last Sunday in Mrs. Williams' just too terrible Roadster. Oh yes! Say, there, Bill Easton, be yourself and stay in your place. Lose your hat, but not your head, old dear. Mr. Harold Lawrence wasn't seen out of his "Hot Mama's" sight Sunday. Be yourself, little girl. You know you have Phillip in a jug. Philadelphia's Just Too Bad Mamas, Lillian Lawrence, Annabell Laws and Doris Wilson, were certainly missed Sunday night at the Roadside.

Mr. William E. Pettus, 1026 S. 17th Street, who will relay the important information to her son, Frank Watling? Mr. Watling has appealed to us from the Hotel Gibbons, Dayton, Ohio, where he now is located, for aid in locating his mother who left Dayton four years ago and has not since been heard from. Any information will be gratefully received both by the TATTLER and by Mr. Watling. How would you feel if your mother was lost? Philadelphia was treated to a real event last Sunday, when the J. T. B. Social Club outdid themselves at their Musicale Tea held at the home of the President, 1837 N. 11th Street. The program was very elaborate, including some very talented persons such as Professor Schell, who sails for Europe in the near future, Mr. Rivers whom all Philadelphia loves, Mrs. T. Baylor, Mr. Elbert Riddicks, Mr. Alfred Matthews, gifted young violinist, and many others. The J. T. B. members, who are comprised of prominent maids and matrons of North Philadelphia, never looked more charming. Mrs. G. Hines and Mrs. Milton, who served tea, were unsurpassed. Watch us through the TATTLER. PROMINENT DANCE LOVERS Win Prizes at Strand In a charleston which is a regular Monday night feature of the Strand Strand Ballroom Miss Pauline Martin of 705 S. Bancroft St. won the beautiful loving cup which was offered as first prize while Mr. James Hinton of 2426 Manton took home a cup equally as beautiful for his ability in the men's end of the contest. Both contestants received a tremendous amount of appluse. In the Home talent contest a regular Wed. night feature Miss Elenor Carnegie and Mr. Walter Bryant won first and second prizes respectively. The management of the Strand is due much credit for the fair and impartial way in which these contests are bring handled also for the care and thought that they are showing in the selection of prizes.

Wright, violinist, the singer's programme was made up of a French, Italian, English group ending with spirituals. Her singing was well done through out the programme, but she was quiet at home in the group of spiritual rising to great heights. The audience seemed to enjoy the singing and demanded encores. Geo S.
