WHAT HARLEM NEEDS
A RATHER dignified house on 7th avenue, bears a bronze plate which informs pedestrians that it is the home, headquarters or central office of the Association of Trade and Commerce. The sign is sadly in need of polishing, which indicates that even the porter spends most of his time sleeping or around the corner in Jake's place. But the directors, or board of governors or whatever the officials call themselves, are not asleep. Far from it. They are in a trance. Otherwise they could not fail to hear the brass band opportunity is playing outside the door.
OPPORTUNITY is trying to call their attention to two conspicuous needs of this pleasure loving community. The first is a large dance hall convenient to the multitude. Manhattan Casino and New Star Casino are in bad locations and are expensive to reach. Taxi fare to the Manhattan costs from 35 to 50 cents, while the tariff to the New Star runs from 50 cents to six bits. On the return trip the taxi drivers usually demand of their customers all the money the cigarette and soft drink profiteers did not gyp them out of. A large ballroom, centrally located, would reduce the legitimate taxi fare going and eliminate the illegitimate extortion coming back. At present the taxi highbinders have an after-the-dance crowd at their mercy. A man emerging from the New Star or Manhattan is naturally loth to ask his girl friend to walk the mile and a half to her flat in central Harlem. Besides the way home, north of 144th street and south of 116th street, lies through desolate territory, infested with hoodlums and convoying an attractive girl through it in the small hours of the morning is not the safest job in the world. A man has his own dogs to consider too. It's alright to walk a mile for a kiss, provided one hasn't already danced five miles to deserve it. Caught in this unfavorable situation, the average man does not hesitate to hand over his watch to the taxi bandit, who demands it for taking him home, asking only that the villian mail him the pawn ticket the next da

ated somewhere between 125th street and 145th street. Then, if a taxi brigand demanded a dollar each to drive a man and his sweetie to the Rose-Marie, the intended victim could slam the door and say "Come on, honey, we'll walk." And while walking they could decide on whether to spend that two bucks for chop suey or a little jaunt to the Savoy sometime later in the week.
HARLEM also needs a roof garden. Take your own case, Mr. Association-of-Trade and Commerce Man. Wouldn't you appreciate a place where you could dance in the open air these sultry summer nights? A place where tobacco smoke would float off in what highbrow folks call the circumambient atmosphere? Vagrant breezes, or, as the poets call them, zephyrs, would also carry off the fumes of the hip flasks. The air of the dance pavilion would be clear then, and you could see how sweet your honey really looks when she's flushed with a dance or two. And you could also inhale that delicate perfume she uses, or that lovlier and more exhilarating fragrance of her own body.
WITH THESE few remarks we bring this sermon to its conclusion, trusting that our message has not fallen on stony ground, or, to be more to the point, on stony heads. Both of these ventures, we feel quite sure, will pay off grand to the gentlemen who finance them, and patriotism compels us to hope they will be gentlemen of color. We have a hunch, however, that quick action is of paramount importance. Otherwise some Jewish gent will appear on the scene and then farewell opportunity.
SUMMER IN THE PARK
A STROLL through the lower half of St. Nicholas Park recently, filled us with feelings of rage and thoughts of anarchy. The park, until not so long ago, was both a beauty spot and a playground. In the summer, hundreds of children from the tenements over east of Lenox avenue used to throng the place, while their elders, from the teens to the seventies,—we mean in age—utilized the benches and the lawns as trying places, where they could obey the Lord's command to love one another. When evening came on, God, joined many couples together there,

and only a few of them, we are convinced, were put asunder, by the cops. In short, the park offered the denizens of the hall rooms an escape from the restraints of that agent of civilization called the "landlady," and gave them chance to enjoy a brief return to the freedom of Eden.
SOME GENIUS of the municipal government changed all that. Most of the lawns were surrounded with high wire fences and "Keep Out" signs, which made the park resemble the yard of a reformatory. Then the excavation work on the subway began and the penal yard took on the appearance of a mine dump. The subway debris, we recognize, is only temporary and in time it will be carted away. But the chances are the fences and the signs are there to stay. Since the city authorities have done so much to diminish the comfort and happiness of those who used to find delight in the park we suggest that they go a step further and bring it into full conformity with the best traditions and usage of bull pens. Why not station an ample number of gendarmes in the park and compel all pedestrians passing through it to do the lock-step?
LIBERLA, news reports declare, goes down in history as the first and only nation to pay off its World War debt. The black republic not only paid off in full, it also paid off at once, handing over a draft covering the full amount of principal and interest. If the elders of the republic have an alert eye for the main chance they will not fail to capitalize their promptitude the next time they have to borrow a little something from a consortium of bankers or ministers of finance. They might, we suggest, have their representatives enter the conference chamber carrying placards bearing a paraphrase of the famous slogan of the marines—First To Pay.
BREVITY in presenting the news is alright in these days of tabloid newspapers and brains, but there is such a thing, we hold, as making brevity too brief. We have in mind the Pittsburgh Courier item, which informs us and the world at large, that an organization of morticians met in St. Louis and had a successful session. So far so good. But the item fails to inform us just what constitutes a successful meeting of morticians. Never mind the dictionary. "Mortician," is a highfalutin word for undertaker, and our idea of a successful meeting of the profession, is the aftermath of a race riot

WHY TEN CENTS
BEGINNING WITH THIS ISSUE the sale price of the Inter-State Tattler at all news-stands will be TEN CENTS per copy. While regretting the necessity of having to raise the price of our publication, we feel that the Tattler is fully worth twice the price we will charge for it, beginning with this week. In addition to this fact, we intend to make improvements and to feature the best writers obtainable, making it the spiciest, the most humorous and entertaining medium now on the market. Our news features, innovations and pictorial service will be second to none and right up to the minute
AS AN AMUSEMENT PUBLICATION, the Tattler holds a unique place in the life of our people. We have a fertile and unexploited field of operation that is not so of the general run of colored weeklies. Ours is to make the reader laugh and forget the "Blues" or in other words, troubles. We are to the journalist world, what the comedian is in a musical comedy production. Few, if any musical comedy, enjoys much success without a good comedian and the same is true of news mediums.
BUT COMEDIANS are invariably high price entertainers and the same is true of all comedy. Yet, people are generally willing to pay a little more for a laugh than pay a great deal less to be made to cry. "Goat Alley," a pathetic story of slum-life, with one of our greatest dramatic stars, failed to draw a corporals guard at the Alhambra, while "Lucky Sambo," a burlesque production brimful of comedy and catchy musical numbers, packed them in all week at the Lafayette Theatre. In fact, the opening matinee of "Lucky Sambo" drew more people than attended the entire three weeks of dramatic plays.
IN SHORT, people prefer being amused to being worried with the more vital topics of life. We all know that injustice, discrimination, prejudice and suffering exists and at some time in the lives of every one, pain of some sort had to be endured. But why talk of it? In the lexicon of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, "Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone. For this sad old earth will share your mirth but has trouble enough of its own." Yes, it is only natural to forget. Take the case of almost any person who has made a comfortable fortune and see how quick he or she wants to forget the old life.
BUT GETTING BACK to the TATTLER and our price of TEN CENTS A COPY. The TATTLER of today is better in every way. The spicy feature writers, writers who can really write and with a kick, makes our publication well worth the PRICE OF TEN CENTS. Never, dating back to the early days, the golden heydays, did the Tattler have such a staff of spirited feature artists. Compare them with the best, regardless of color. They will not be found wanting.
YET THIS IS NOT ALL. We are now preparing an elaborate program that will excel anything of a similar nature ever attempted. We are going to really give you a full HALF DOLLARS WORTH of real spicy news items and a pictorial feature service will eclipse anything ever attempted by a colored weekly publication. Within the next six months, we hope to increase the Tattler to 24 pages of spicy, racy, humorous news of amusing interest well featured with pictures. In short, we intend to make the Tattler an indispensable supper time companion and you a constant reader.

ETHEL WATERS
MONDAY EVENING Ethel Waters carried a crowd of girls and people with breeches on down to Daly's Sixty-third Street Theatre and inaugurated national joy week, or month, or however long they are able to stay there. It is probable that the country at large has not been adequately informed of the true nature of the celebration Miss Waters is conducting. "Afri-tana," as the frolic is called, is not the usual sort of black-and-white musical show they fetch out to keep the mice from messing up the house during the slack summer season. It is the most civilized and, to us, the most enjoyable of all colored musical shows. Indeed we have a suspicion that it is a bit too civilized for white folks and we have detailed a special sociologist to observe and report on their reaction.
MISS. WATERS has made the unique distinction of making her first appearance on Broadway in the first colored revue ever shown there. A revue, if we get the idea, right, is a set of intelligent and mordant caricatures of life served with a sherbet of music and dancing. That's what "Africana" is. All previous colored shows, although some of them were called revues, departed from life altogether and ran wild in excesses of imbecility.
THE PEAK of the show is Miss Waters' delightful satfire of Josephine Baker and her noble spouse, which comes just before the finale. Other rib ticklers are Miss Waters' specialties and Billy Mills' "Jedgement Day." The latter sketch is a juicy treatment of judicial ignorance and tyranny enacted in the Courthouse of Catch Air, Miss., which, on opening night, knocked the audience for a gang of horse laughs. Miss Waters' specialties, which consisted of a part of her repertory of familiar songs, suspended the show and for a while threatened to break it up in a riot. After singing several favorites, Miss Waters offered to sing one more and let the audience decide which it should be. The highbrows called for "Dinah," while the low-down part of the audience, including ourselves, oblamed for "Take Your Black Bottom Out of Here." Miss Waters quelled the disturbance by singing both.
THE WEAK part of the comedy, is Billy Mills' jihrikisha act and Ed Pugh's make-up which gives him a striking resemblance to a mandril*. Billy Mills is a competent comedian, but this Chinese

thing isn't exactly his masterpiece. REMINISCENCES of old times were evoked by the appearance of Pickaninny Hill in a becomingly sentimental and fetchingly well done minstrel act which culminated in a delightful old fashioned cake walk. The dancing in this act, like the dancing of the entire show, is decidedly brilliant, though we have seen better. Rooted still deeper in memory is the Banana Maids' number, a feature which goes as far in the direction of phallic symbolism as anything we have ever seen in a theatre.
"CLORINDA," a dainty little love song, is the prettiest piece of music the show has to offer out of a score which is generally tepid. Miss Waters' Gothic architecture and the Gallic legs of the chorus fillies are the main attractions so far as scenery goes, although the drops and sets have been selected and arranged with commendable taste. The costumes are fresh and appropriate and the chorus ensembles are competently handled. And last, but by no means least; "The Taskiana Four" are a too bad quartette.
*Mandril: A rainbow baboon.
Eddie Lemons' "Dashin' Dinah" is not the best child in the musical comedy world by a long shot. But, on the other hand, neither is the offering the worst. There was plenty of amusing and pleasing situations and the public got a full half-dollars worth with Dinah, and Gloria Swanson featured in the great film play, "The Lcve of Sunva."
"Dashin' Dinah," the caption under which Mr. Lemons' musical comedy vehicle laitors; has a fast working chorus, some very good dancing, witty comedy by. Eddie Lemons and fair singing:
The musical numbers are handled by Homer Hubbard, who courageously and creditably carries out his end of the program. Christina Grey puts over two numbers well, but the singing of the others was a hit below standard. To Miss Moore, Baula, who substituted at the eleventh hour for Fay Chatman, is due a world of credit. This little lady, with true Amazonian zeal, undertook to fill the shoes of the injured star and did nicely despite the lack of experience.
Jack Wiggins, the old dancing master, was given a warm ovation when he stopped out all diked up in his jewelled costume even unto

derful and loyal little pal. He was always willing and ready to aid me in anything and in every way. He encouraged me in my efforts and was always telling me that someday I would become a great star.
"I will never forget the various experiences we had as partners and how he advised me to live a clean and wholesome life so that I would be entitled and could den and public respect as a man and a actor. He had ideals and always suggested or advised something really worth while. His death was a great shock to me but his memory will never die. He was a real pal and friend in the fullest sense of the word."
A SKY SIGN is being erected atop the building on the southwest corner of Seventh avenue and 185 street. Will it too, add to the mirth of the community? Since an unverified rumor reports that it is being erected for the Lafayette Theatre, the idea is not without bounds of reason. At any rate it will make the avenue look more like Broadway.
Beginning with next week the price of the Inter-State Tattler per copy will be, TEN CENTS. This is due in a measure to the un-expected raise in white paper per pound and to our plans to give our readers a bigger and better TATTLER.

Revue on the Road

Friday, July 15, 1927
Business ability is a most necessary requirement of the successful worker in art. There was once a time when the court musician and the entertainer to the royal members of a famous family were considered a part of the household and were cared for as were other members of the household. Many of the great lights of the early days of music were court musicians. But the changing episodes and the freer attitude taken on by the profession have left new responsibilities for the would be successful artist and to succeed today one must have that instinct for business and an ability for solving the many financial difficulties with which an artist's life are surrounded.
Typical among the more successful musicians are such men as Roland Hayes, Johr. McCormack, Harry Burleigh. Often we have had occasion to know how these men have taken a hold of the horns of business and have turned what otherwise would have been sure defeat into unqualified success. Notably Mr. Hayes. Here is a man who had unlimited advice and help from various sources which renders the necessity for in-
tal perception of the most acuté kind. For when one is advised variously by many people who really ought to know, it becomes a considerable responsibility to make a decision that will be to one's own best interest. Mr. Hayes has had managers, but always Mr. Hayes has been the central compelling force that has moulded the pattern for the fabric of the career that we are so well familiar with. Then there is Mr. Burleigh. Years ago this composer had to come to certain conclusions with regard to policies that would mean either the full develop-
ment and lasting success or on the other hand an approximation of the same. It was necessary to restrict and limit his time and responsibilities so that most exacting profession namely the one of composing might have the amount of time that it so very much needs. In the career of John McCormack there are elements that have made for success. When one reaches a certain point in art whereby the mere thirst for acclaim has been satiated, there comes a feeling of responsibility to one's public, to one's self; an inner longing to really measure. Then one must find out really what it is that one can do particularly well. McCormack began in opera and succeeded, yes, but it was not until McCormack went into concert and became the chief exponent of the Irish ballard and lovesong, that John McCormack
THE INTER - STATE TATTLER
came fully into his own. Likewise Roland Hayes' greatest success has been with the Spiritual. Napolean it is said could do seven separate mental tasks at one and the same time. And it would seem that to be really prominent one must accomplish some such feat in the matter of success in art.
In the Messenger Magazine for July, there is a characteristic poem called "The Hasting Holler." It is in the vain of the blues and some parts of it are real touching. As a whole the poem is good, some parts in particular are very good. That is they get underneath the surface and hit the spot. Some people, I think, don't know how sad the blues can be. Not all blues melodies are sad. I know some that are in fact quite cheerful that is judged from the after effect that they leave one one but when blues are blue there is never such a blue as this shade of blue. And herein lies the secret of their success. To be convincing is the only real purpose of any work of this type, whether that work be Grand Opera, Burlesque, Church Music or low down blues. Hit the mark, convince your audience and therein all the honor lies.

his dancing boots. And how old Jack did step on it, while his strutting was just too bad. Duckett and Conway, entertainers from Small's Paradise Club, near 135th street, made known why Edwin Small's night club is so popular with all. That reason as you good reader by now must have guessed, is classy entertainment.
Others who contributed to the entertainment were: "Dot" Lewis, Willie Taylor, Bula Lee and Charles Barry, who gave an imitation of the animal world. But Gloria Swanson in "The Love of Sunya," was at her best and the photo play is one of the best we have ever had the patience to sit through.

FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD By George S. Schuyler
The Sheriff in Kansas City, Kans., has proposed a special park for the use of spooners. There ought to be lots of parking there.
There should be such a park in Harlem. It would save these fellows a lot of extra room rent.
And the Boulin Detective Agency wouldn't have to break down any doors to get to the spooners, either. Of course, there are parks right on the edge of Harlem but the police have taken the joy out of life by sprinkling electric lights around too liberally.
Every secluded parking place suitable for spotting in our parks has a big light shining down on it. You don't need any light for dark decds.
Then, to make things worse, the city has strung a high fence around all of the cipses and big bushes. Some girl is always tearing her clothing over in St. Nicholas Park.
The rooming-house proprietors and Big Hot Bed Men were probably instrumental in getting those fences erected. Lock how much they would lose if there were no fences!
Still, some of the nervy and athletic lovers patronize the park in spite of the fences and lights. Ever notice how many newspapers are strewed around the park every morning?
One woman stood with her lady friend on the wall at City College and in a loud voice said "I'm looking for my husband!" and the next day the Park Department had a gang up there repairing the broken park fences.
Even with fences and lights, though, the parks have still got it on the movie shows where one can only get in the preliminary work.
The only competition the parks have to face in the way of free spooning are the subway station washrooms. But the police are making them very unsafe, as any one will admit.
Once there was a time when a real man had to carry a drawn revolver in his hand when he entered a subway latrine in order to protect his virtue. But many didn't want to.
And there was enough handwriting on the walls to have kept some modern Daniel busy for a week translating it.

Two musicians of the order, Carl Thompson and Eugene Adams, furnished the music for this grand occasion.
The Melody Dance Orchestra featured on the 4th of July in West New Brighton, S. I., at a big affair, a picnic and dance given by the Masons. Our orchestra had a big number of followers who accompany them on their travels in a foreign field, where they not only made a big hit but-a-lasting impression. The orchestra was urged and urged to continue playing without any intermission whatsoever. Yonkers should be proud of this band of musicians.
From June 26th to July 1st. Mrs Nathan Graham conducted the revival at Bethel Baptist Church of White Plains, Rev. Williamson pastor. She was blessed in being able to add more souls to the church.

THE FISHPIC arena is the center of activity in sporting circles at present. With the exception of the trotweight title, every ring champion has or will have defended a position of supremacy before the coming of the autumnal daya.
brief review will remind us that Pete Latto passed his welter- ternagnomen over to the Scottish Highlander. Buddy Taylor was appalled as ban- ness was made by defeating Tony Cadden in the "Windy City" some weeks ago and Mickey Walker crossed the pond to knock out the Scottish Highlander, Tommy Milligan in dear old London.
Before us we have the light heavyweight champion, Jack Delaney, who is scheduled to exchange blows with ex-champ Mike McTigue next month and Sammy Mandell placing his lightweight steptre before the presence of Phil McGraw out in Detroit in the near future.
September is the month set for Gene Tunney to display his calibre in the heavyweight world against either Dempsey or Sharkey, depending upon the result of the clash between the latter named couple.
At present we have no featherweight champ since Kid Kaplan toppled from the throne due to his inability to shave his weight down to 126 pounds. La Barba, the flyweight czar is having trouble making the weight. He plans to surrender the title after this year, on his resuming his studies.
SHADES OF MOSES! Not a colored title holder in the list, where once super greats like the indomitable Joe Waicott held sway over the 145 pound boys; the Old Master, Joe Gans ruled with two sturdy fists, the 135 pounders; the immortal George Dixon, who bossed the bantams and featherweights some thirty years ago; Jack Johnson, who shocked the Nordics by toppling Tommy Burns and Jim Jeffries, thereby winning the world's heavyweight championship. Then, more recently, "Tiger" Flowers, who carved his name in the pugilistic "Hall Of Fame" by slashing and clawing the middleweight title from the dome of the late Harry Greb. But where are the fighters, our future greats who are to carry on the great work of our former fighter? Are there no pros-

pective Walcotts, Dixons, Johnsons, Flowers or a Gans? Have we no potential champions or near greats like Sam Langford, Jack Blackburn, Bobby Dobbs, the "Dixie Kid" or Sam Bolen? Any one of the just mentioned knuckle pushers would easily sweep the lists of all contenders and win a championship today. Both the black and white fighters of to-day, with just one or two exceptions, are an inferior lot.
FOUR OF OUR LADS stand out as possible champions, if given the opportunity. One of this quartet, Jack McVey, is almost a sure shot to win either the middle- or light heavyweight title, if either Mickey Walker or Jack Delaney can be induced to face him in a ring. McVey has almost everything. He is a stiff, accurate hitter with either hand; a master boxer and crafty ring general; can take a punch and come back for lots more; a great counter puncher who crowds his opponent, forcing openings of which he is quick to take advantage; is cool as an iceberg under fire; posseses that rare virtue, patience and a world of courage.
Of the other three, we know little other than that gleaned from press reports. They are Young Jack Thompson, "Baby" Joe Gans and Young Harry Wills. The first two are lightweights, the last named, a welter. The "Baby" Gans was recently defeated by Harry Kid Brown, but on the other hand has a great record. He has a way of coming back and knocking out the man who had previously defeated him. This he did recently, when he stopped Tommy O'Brien in less than two minutes in a return bout. O'Brien had previously won a close decision over Gans, but the "Baby" this time made the result decisive, beyond question. O'Brien was rated high among the 135 pound boys. In addition to this, Sammy Mandell, the champion, has turned down a number of flattering offers to give the "Baby" a crack at the title.
DETROIT CHAMP$
OUT IN the city of Fords and more Fords, a band of sturdy black boys copped the State championship in the annual Field and Track Meet held at Belle Isle on Independence Day.
For three years they have been trying to lift the State's favorite athletie cup and although finishing second and third place respectively, this season finds them in
the vanguard, defeating the "Old Timers" club by one point. Eddie Tolan, who recently blazed his name into the headlines of sporting pages, late student at the Cass Technical High and pupil of Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, won two dashes, that of 100 and 220 yards respectively.
Bob Beatty, another lad of color scored first place in the 120 yard high hurdle while John Lewis set a record in the 440 yard dash by breaking the line in the fast time of 50.2-5 seconds. In the flat jump, Sampson hurled himself 6 feet, 1-8 inch, while Gaines leaped 22 feet, 5 inches in the running broad jump.
The relay team composed of Tolan, Hart, Gaines and Lewis ended the Meet with a victory and incidentally the championship of the state.
All honor to these sturdy sons of Ethiopia who by their high achievement brought victory to an all-Negro club. This should serve as an incentive to our local clubs here in Harlem to bestr themselves in Field and Track activities and achieve a name and reputation for themselves as the Salem-Crescents and extinct St. Christoper Clubs did in the days of yore.
READY! AIM! FIRE!
IN OUR city high schools, lads of color are about as scarce on the rifle teams as ice at the Equator. They seem to shun this first line of defense and consequently when war comes, they gain first place in the labor brigade, armed with the reliable pick and shovel.
But seriously speaking and not from a viewpoint of war, our boys should go in for this sport on a very much larger scale. The grit determination and steadiness of nerve that characterizes the expert rifleman is a worthy asset in his physical and mental make-up.
Next month will witness the departure of the 369th division of the National Guard for its annual encampment. A crack regiment must of necessity have a superior record in marksmanship. Individual trophies are given as a rule to encourage accurate shooting and the holder of such a loving cup is the cynosure of all eyes and stands high in the estimation of his superior officers and fellow-soldiers.
We trust that new impetus will be given to this form of sport among the soldier-boys of our

ON TO BORDENTOWN.
Under the joint auspices of the New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Germantown tennis associations, the second annual open sectional Eastern Tennis Championships will be held at Bordentown, N. J., August 1-6, on the courts of the State Manual Training School.
With some forty clubs enrolled in these Associations, the Easterns bid fair to rival the National Championships in size of entry and calibre of play. All prospective contestants who are eligible to play must secure, fill and then file their entries with the accompanying fee by July 30th. The N. Y. T. A. with some 16 clubs naturally will be expected to make a big showing.
The committee in charge announces that ample accommodations can be had on the school grounds during the week. The program of social entertainment contains a full measure of card playing, dancing, an old fashioned barbecue, moonlight auto ride and an official reception.
With such a gala program, it is expected that liberal support will Continued on Page 10

Word has just come from Eyre Saitch, colored national singles champion, who is cutting a wide swath of glory for himself in the West, that he will be there on the first day. The dangerous Word brothers, no doubt will uncover some spectacular racquet wielding and many others whose tennis fame is widely known.
With the proper support of the public this tournament should set a standard for interest, support and superb playing in our tennis circles.
"BILL" HILL
THE NEW York Times roto gravure section exhibits a picture of Bill Hill, star colored athlete of the High School of Commerce, and winner of one of the gold medals for his Herculean efforts in vanquishing all rivals in the Field Day games staged by this Institution.
The famous "Columbia Lou" Gehrig, clouting first sacker of the league-leading Yankees aided Dr. McNamara, the principal, in distributing the prizes. "Lou" is a graduate of Commerce himself and no doubt the genial ball player was tickled "pink" over the honor of pinning on the medals especially the one on "Bill" Hill, lad of color and promising athlete of Gehrig's Alma Mater.

The Clubman's letter was signed Arthur Tilford, Jimmie Price, Wallstreet Morgan, Al Elsworth, Harry Ross, Milton Johnson, Webb Richardson and Joe Crawley.
A fine affair was the graduation party of Miss Agnes M. Young, held on Friday evening, at the Exclusive Almas Studio.

NEWARK, N. J. SECTION
I can't understand what seems to be the trouble on the Coast. Every now and then the boys want to have a little excitement so somebody starts trouble. Now I don't know what the cause happens to be for starting the trouble, but I do know that some day somebody is going to get hurt and maybe killed. Most likely it will be over something that doesn't amount to anything. Therefore my advice to the boys on the coast is to try and avoid trouble, because somebody can, because it is easy to get into, but someone hard to get out of. Well, good news are beginning to fall down on your news, and I want to know why? Of course, I am a very, very, busy man, these days, since I opened my new Cabaret, "The Antlers and Performers Club" at 416 Lenox avenue, N. Y. So now you can see why I don't have to time to get around like I did before. However, if all of you, who are my friends and well-wishers will kindly help me get the news, I will be very glad, because Newark has the best news Column in the Tattler at present and in order to increase our circulation we must keep our news column up to the standard. So please excuse the short news column for this week and with your co-operation, I promise to be better in the future. I thank you one and all.

Now I wonder why. I think I will have to get some new assistants for the Hill News, because the customers are asking for Hill news and I must get the news and will get it from now on, believe me. Miss Jackie Brown formerly of the Plantation, has resigned and she is going to Atlantic City for a months rest. I am awfully sorry that the rain kept so many of my Newark friends away from the grand opening of my new Cabaret in New York City Sunday, but as I will have a matinee every Sunday afternoon from 3:00 to 9:00 P. M. at the Antlers and Performers Club, located at 416 Lenox avenue between 130th and 131st street in Harlem, I shall expect to see more of you in the future. I see that they have made some changes in the Bathing Suit Revue produced by the one and only Ervin (Berlin) Gilmore at Kinney's Hall Night Club. When it comes to picking beautiful bathing girls, old parson Gilmore is just too bad. Sister Lee Finch, I want to see you on some very important business at my new Cabaret. Alma is all smiles again, I guess you know why. Page sweet papa high-pocket. Flaming Youth what has become of the loving sheik, Mr. Freddie Nixon? Mattie's love came down and she couldn't stand it so she said "No, never can Brodis quit me and live," so she tried to kill him by cutting him over the heart. Boys we must be very careful nowadays, because the women will not stand for their sweet daddys leaving home. Now if you think I am joking ask Alma, Rose Thompson, Peggy Walker, Helen Brown and Mattie Brodis. Now folks, please remember and have your news in my office by Sunday afternoon at the latest, because I must have the news in the New York office by Monday noon at the very latest. Those are my orders and I must obey them. Broadway Jones.

The holidays brought many tourists to the sea shore for the summer. Many old faces and some new ones made the season a lively one. Mr. George Adams is back after four years absence and is now headwaiter at the Plaza Hotel Grill. During the time of his absence, he was head-walter of the Biltmore Club of N.

He sends his best wishes to all his friends. * * * A little club that has become the favorite and famous rendezvous of the Performers over night is the Clam House, under the management of Mr. William Blankneal and Henry Hart, proprietor.

Now, what I'd like to know Mr. So and So, do you think she is a mind reader that she should know Mr. Cokey Joe from Adam, when he walks into the office. She ain't so dumb either, old dear.

He is now starring in an all-white American musical comedy revue, "From Broadway to Paris," at the exclusive Ambassadur Theatre, Paris, France. Later on in the year, he will entertain at the Moulin Rouge, considered the finest amusement center in Europe. He turned down several flattering offers to play in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1928.

Of the other three, we know little other than that glanced from press reports. They are Young Jack Thompson, "Baby" Joe Gansk and Young Harry Willk. The first two are lightweight, the last named, a welter. The "Baby" Gansk was recently detested by Harry Kid Brown, but the other hand has a great record. He has a way of coming back and knocking out the man who had previously defeated him. This he did recently, when he stopped Tommy O'Brien in less than two minutes in a return bout. O'Brien had previously won a close decision over Gansk, but the "Baby" this time made the result decisive, beyond quick then. O'Brien was rated high among the 185 pound boys. In addition to this, Sammy Mundell, the champion, has turned down a number of battling offers to give the "Baby" a corner at the title.

Rob Hewaty, another 10d of color scored first place in the 190 yard high hurdle while John Lawin set a record in the 440 yard dash by breaking the line in the fast time of 50 2.5 seconds.
In the first jump, Hampson hurled himself 6 feet, 1.8 inch, while Guinex leaped 22 feet, 5 inches in the running broad jump.
The relay team composed of To han, Hart, Galnes and Lewis en ed the Meet with a victory and incidentally the championship of the state.
All honor to these sturdy sons of Ethiopia who by their high achievement brought victory to our all Negro club. This should serve as an incentive to our local clubs here in Harlem to bestly themselves in Field and Track activities and achieve a name and reputation for themselves as the Xulom-Crescent and extinct Kt. Christopher Clube did in the days of yore.
READY! AIM! FIRE!
IN OUR city high schools, lude of color are about as source on the rifle teams as lie at the Equator. They seem to know this first line of defense and consequently when war comes, they gain first place in the labor brigade, armed with the reliable pick and shovel.
But seriously speaking and not from a viewpoint of war, our hope should go in for this sport on a very much larger scale. The grit, determination and steadiness of nerve that characterizes the export rifleman is a worthy asset in his physical and mental make-up.

Miss Jackie Brown recently of the Plantation, has resigned and she is going to Atlantic City for a month's rest. I am actually sorry that the rain kept so many of my Newark friends away from the grand opening of my new Cabaret in New York City Sunday, but as I will have a matinee every Sunday afternoon from 8:00 to 9:00 P.

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y.
Advantage should be taken of the baseball games which are played at the city field every Sunday afternoon.

If sufficient is taken in these contests it is certain that the proposed stadium will be constructed. *** Miss Dorothy McClain, whose recent mishap is said to have endangered her life, has recovered. Miss McClain was hurt in the holiday turnout. *** There is a plan underfoot for the organizing of a tennis club in Mt.
