Page 2 SARTORIAL SEVENTH AVENUE, as anybody but a blind man can see, is all lit up like a Christmas tree; or, as those who prefer the Bible style of phrasing would say, as a bride adorned to receive the bridegroom. Garlands, banners, rosettes, festoons and flags give the Avenue the appearance of a capital preparing for the coronation of a king. Lenox avenue, too, is brilliant with gay streamers and multi-colored electric lights and even the side streets are radiant with rainbow bunting. The reason for this grand splurge in decoration, of course, is the current Elks' convention and, although we hate to brag about our town, the job is sure enough gorgeous. WE ARE not privy to the entire program of the Elks' convention, but if one of their features is to award a prize to the best decoration arranged in honor of their visit, it is extremely regretable that the committee was not on hand to see what we saw on Seventh Avenue early Saturday morning. We were standing at the crossways of the world, Seventh Avenue and 135th street, when our eye was attracted by a moving blaze of color approaching us from about 143rd street. Our first though was that we had sipped just a little too much at that last party and had slept two days, awakening on the morning of the Elks' parade. But a glance reassured us on that point. The streets were not lined with people and the cops were not pushing them back from the curbstone as they do on parade days. Our second though was that somebody, having stolen the electric flag from in front of the Nest, was returning it to its rightful owner to quiet a guilty conscience or at the instigation of the police. IN THE MEANTIME the dazzling object had moved nearer and we could discern that it was a man carrying some kind of magnificent banner before him. As the man came still closer we recognized him as Mr. Floyd Snelson and the banner turned out to be the most glorious necktie ever seen on land or sea. That tie, a marvel of the textile art. simply defies description. A block away it looked like a maroon stripe on a background of cloth-of-gold. Half a block away it could not be looked THE INTER - STATE TATTLER llines An A Weekly Surv at at all because its brilliance blinded the eye. WE HAVE a hunch that if the Elks' parade was a success it was because they bribed Floyd to keep that tie off the streets that day, or else it was because he laid it away of his own accord out of the goodness of his heart and loyalty to the order. Which reminds us that on Thursday, when there will be no parade to compete with, Mr. Snelson is giving an automobile excursion to some place or other up the Hudson. We mean, of course, up the banks of the Hudson, or up a bank, if you just must pick flaws. We have no doubt that he will have plenty customers. There is hardly a lad in Harlem who will not buy a ticket provided Floyd will whisper in his ear where he got that tie.

Entered as second-class matter --- SEVENTH AVENUE GOOD WORKS GONE WRONG MOST OF the visiting Elks, we fee sure, were royally entertained while in the city and will return home with nothing but good words for us. There are bound to be exceptions it goes without saying, and one of them, we are convinced, is the kind hearted Elk from Richmond, Virginia whose benevolent impulses were rewarded with undeserved embarassment shortly after his arrival. IT WAS Monday shortly before noon and the visitor was passing through 137th street a little west of Lenox avenue, probably trying to locate some friend in the city Along with several other passerby he was attracted by the anguished bawling of a none too clean small boy who was crawling along the curbstone, raining tears and aimlessly turning over bits of street refuse. Inquiry disclosed that the urchin had lost a dime which had been given him to spend. THE KID'S plight touched the visitor's sympathy, and, unseen by most of the other observers, he slipped a dime out of his own pocket on the ground and, then pretended to help the youngster look for the lost coin. After a minute or so he picked up the dime he had dropped and loudly announced, "Here's your dime! I found it right over here! FOR a moment the kid stopped crying. He took the coin and observed it reflectively a second or so; then he fixed a cold and suspicious eye on his would-be benefactor. "Say," he demanded, "where's mother's five dollar bill what my dime was wrapped up in?" --- JIMMIE HARRIS, according to an uncorroborated story which reaced our ear the other day, has a peculiar and highly idea of anatomy. Jimmie, it seems, was at one of those wild and very wet parties down in the Village when another and slightly inebriated guest permitted a loaded cigar to explode in close proximity to the sit spot of Jimmie's knickers. "What are you trying to do?" Jimmie demanded. "Want to blow my brains out?"

Inc., 2285 Seventh Avenue, New in New York under the act of Friday, August 26, 1927 SAVOY PLANS TO GIVE VISITORS A BIG TIME Popular Lenox Avenue Amusement Institution Is Beautifully Decorated in Honor of Elks Convention The managers of the Savoy Ballroom, 140th street and Seventh avenue, will try desperately this week, to outdo anything they have done in the past, to prove to the visitors that New York excels in everything and most of all, in dancing and music. It's the one big idea of the wide awake, aggressive and progressive directors of the ballroom which has made Lenox avenue famous, to excel all their previous great programs, and that, gentle reader, is a gigantic task. That may succeed and if anybody can, they can. But without one word of exaggeration, it's some program they have set themselves and no doubt, our readers will most heartily agree with us. The first step of the Savoy people was to re-paint in the Elk colors, purple and white and that job was done, completed just a few hours before the opening drum beat and bugle blast of the invading hosts, early Monday morning. Just prior to that, the outside of the huge ballroom was beautifully and artistically decorated with gay bunting, Elk heads and other appropriate emblems, flags etc. Apparently, the managers of the famous dancing center have no regard for expenses, for in addition to this and their regular high grade weekly program, they have arranged a special feature program for every night of the convention week. There'll be souvenirs of the festivities, vaudeville entertainment and several surprise affairs. Truly it's a wonderful program they have arranged and fully worth three times the price of admission. SERVICE A CONFIRMED homebody, we very rarely patronize restaurants, and when we do eat out we usually make an event of it and select some place where they have waiters in tuxedos, parrots painted on the walls and music furnished either by the radio or by an orchestra. Several painful experiences have given us a chronic distrust of the popular priced eating places. We have learned that, after all is said and done, the pangs of hunger are considerably more bearable than the tortures of ptomaine poisoning. THE other day, however, certain savory smells issuing from Brownie's, a new place in 135th street just west of Seventh avenue, lured us inside to take a chance. Our temerity was rewarded with a series of happy surprizes. First, they gave us what we ordered. We asked for roast breast of lamb and they did not substitute rib ends. Second, the service was quick. Third, the silver and china were cleau. Fourth, the waitress did not act like she was doing us a favor to take our order and, fifth, she was fair to look upon.

Vaudevile | ek. eed ee S@ME SIDELIGHTS ON MILLER AND LYLES MENTION Miller and Lyles to the casual theatre-goer and his mind will at once revert to “Shuffle Along.” On second thought, he will remember that they are at present in “Rang Tang,” the third installment of the Jimtown saga He will further recollect seeing them in “Runnin’ Wild,” and, in be- tween times, in various musical productions cf the Shuberts. Al- ways he thinks of them as royal fun-makers and clowns extraordin. ary. Probably it has never occur. red to him that they have other and more serious activities. IT IS palpable beyond dispute that public entertaining is their most important work. The fact that they have developed their art: lo such bigh degree of excellence, Fiaintaining it there and never per- mitting it to sag in indifference, shcews that they regard it in that light. Their art is the medium through which they maintain a hold on the public, and the appre- ciation of the public, in turn, raakes then a valuable asset to the capitalists who finance the theatre. But they are not contented with persona] popularity. Instead of 2°- cepting it as a_ tribute to their, ability they use it as a means of advancing not only their own in- ierests but the larger. interests of all colored perfermers as well. Diplomatically, but a they have advanced the cause of | t'« solored actor and wot a little of .ccent theatrical history had its source in their efforts. Suppose, for instance, they had failed to- recognize the ability of Florence Mills when she was an obscure member of their “Shuffle Along” company and put forward some girl with prettier legs? ONE who saw David Belasco’s recent success, “Lulu Belle,” will remember the important role play- ed by Evelyn Preer. The leading character, played by Lenore Ulric, was a little devil of the naughty but nice variety as innocent of vir- tue as Edgar Grey is of rosy cheeks. In order to show this little minx in a favorable light it was necessary to contrast her with a character not only wicked but re- volting as well. Portraying thet unlovely character was assigned to Miss Preer. She played the ter of the two. AT PRESENT Miss Preer is playing a leading part in “Rang Tang,” the Miller-Lyles production at the Royale. In a few weeks, David Belasco will begin to assem- ble his “Lulu Belle” company for a road tour. Since the success of the star part depends to a great extent on the effective playing of the minor role, Miss Preer is al! indispensible to a successful road tour. But suppose she should de- cide to remain under the banner of Miller and Lyles? One can easi. ly imagine the consternation in the Belasco camp and the consequent injunctions and law suits. WE suggest the possibility or Miss Preer deserting Mr. Belasco, only to illustrate how vital is the connection of Miller and Lyles with the American stage. Here we Bet a. glimpse of how their popu- larity ag comedians has transform. | ed itself into back stage and busi- ness Office influence. Unscrupult- ous or short sighted men in thetr position could do the interests of the colored actor much injury. But Miller and Lyles, regarding themselves as contact men of the race, may be relied upon to exert their influence with discretion and for what they believe to be best for the colored performer and the race at large. | RANG TANG offers another in- stance of their ceaseless mission- ary work. Here they addressed themselves to the task of making the show, from the standpoint of music and scenery, peer to any other production on Broadway. In at least one scene they have suc- ceeded. Another . innovation of “Rang Tang,” is putting dark girls in the chorus, This last required no little courage for the weight of tradition and prejudice was against it. The “Rang Tang’ chorus is making good, however, and other | colored productions can be depend- : ed on to follow where Miller and Lyles have led. . | PERHAPS the next step of the - talented comedians will be to re-— form the content and technique 28 blackface comedy.

JEAN THE WILL TO VICTORY AS TIME passes, it becomes more apparent, that when Victory Life entered New York, the move was not merely a strategetic ges- ture. The company came here to get business. At any rate, a num- ber of brisky young men around town are under that impression and each one seems to feel that the company expects him to get all the business. Humanity, they seem to think, consists of two classes of people, prospects and policy holders: and it is their di- vinely ordained mission, they are apparently convinced, to convert the entire race into one, the latter class. ON THE BOOKS of the com- any, we suppose, these young men are listed as agents or solicitors. But those terms are altogether too cold and formal to convey an ade- quate impression of the ardour they throw into their work. Mis- sionaries of Progress would be a much more accurate term, for they advance on prospects with some thing of the zeal of Franciseans out to gain proselytes for Holy Church. Nothing seems to daunt them. The higher the resistance of a prospect, the more eloquence and enthusiasm they throw into the work of conversion. It is a rare customer who can withstand their dialectics when they corner him and deluge his ears with health and education statistics, un- controvertable figures on the ex- pectation of life and the certainty of death and one’s duty to leave dependents well provided for and all that. It is futile for the pro- spect to attempt to talk back. One must either sign up or run away. And if one runs away the chances are another agent will nail one in the next block. The logic of the ‘situation seems to be—Sign up. Eventually, why not now? SALESMEN rarely possess such | burning zeal. Net even salesmen of insurance. Nor is there any- thing about vital statistics and mortality tables to inspire it. Cer- tain pride, we suppose, goes with being a part of a large and afflu- ent organization; still we have never seen a Coca Cola salesman, for example, who was able to ex- ceed the fervor of a man eager for. commissions. The ardour of Victory Life missionaries, we sus- THE INTER - STATE TATTLER pect, has its source not in the na- ture or magnitude of the organiza- ‘tion but in the dynamic personal- | ity of the man who founded it and catill guides its destiny. . “ANTHONY OVERTON,” an as txte observer once wrote, “seems on the first encounter more of a visionary than a practical man of business. *** And indeed he is a dreamer, though not the indolent, irresolute, impracticle idler to whom we usually apply that term. He is a seer, a dealer in futures, a happy combination of dreamer and doer. *** His whole career has been a quest of the absolute, a de- termined struggle to materialize his boyhood dreams.” Here we have a full length portrait of the man. More could be written about him, but more need not be reveled. We see here a man inspired by a passionate belief in his own desiny and able to impart his intensity of spirit to his co-workers. Such men make success, Such men make his- tory. Such a man, if he is a Crom- well, can take a handful of decay- ed serving men and make them the most efficient soldiery of Eu- rope. Such a man, if he is an Anthony Overton, can inspire a corps of salesmen with the will to win in the most competitive busi- ness field on the planet. The man’s career does not read like a chapter of life. It reads like a piece of womantic fiction, or like that fur- ther departure from life—history. west |?

Stepright the red dragon in Atlantic City, why don’t you let the person you live with go to work and get some clothes. You think the party is to cute to work, but you are wrong. The gang is very much in favor of a new suit for said party. We wonder if reports concerir- ing Melvin, son of the great Jerry Preston and a certain Miss Called Reatrice G are true. WE were able to observe just who is hen-pecked and who isn’t by the excursion that planned to leave Friday night for Montreal. Messrs. Howard, Harris, Jackson and King signified their desire to geo but at the last minute some of the quartette had expressed a de- sire to ‘withdraw. SINCE the sheba has moved th» boys are changing their hangouts and the big lodge and secret order man has gone on his annual vaca- ion. THE fickle-minded women have been crying the blues about hus- bands being scarce but who can blame the boys the way these wo- men are crying for alimony and showing the boys the rough road to the Court House. THE Elks are certainly arous- ing a lot of interest and many are wishing that they had joined the order. MRS. Maude Alston in charge of the girls at the Strand Billiard Parlor leaves for her much earned vacation to Atlantic City on Fri- day. THE INTER - STATE TATTLER SAY J., you and Marie “Harris are having a wenderful summer. 1 hear the wedding bells are goiny to ring cut soon. W. GREGORY and Ted Walker are just too bad all of a sudden but you don’t give us the low down on your girls. B. M. K., says yes he was point ed out, was rather good looking, had trick legs and knows how to love. And how, baby. SAY L. Maxwell, you must never let yourself get upset like you did Monday night, at a certain well. NOW that the Elk’s are looking for a big time, Miss DeBerryit, if ‘seems that you should have anoth- er one of those too bad parties. 18% is just too bad. Page Charlie C. RUTH, your brother Bill is just too bad. He has my heart in his hand, also, I don’t like the eyes he gave a certain party with the red dress on Friday night at the Savoy. _ BILL D., receives keys in the mail. Oh boy you just won't do. It’s a shame you have to work at night. Look at al} the other fellows’ wives that are made to suffer. Who dat, say who dat, when I say who dat? *** Well any- way they say Bill D., is learning t) fry chicken as well as fish. What kind ef fish? Oh most anykind. What kind of chicken? Oh well, then, ask Sadie she knows. WHEN Ruth — asked Author, “Dear have ycu any money?” He answer in reply, ‘Did you ever see a hive without heney?” Now real ly, isn’t that funny? . ELMER BL., collared a righteous broad and finaled to Saratoga. Ray, that’s to far to make a girl walk back. You know there’s not many, if any, pawn shops there. SAY Jonnny Wright, what is the matter with your wardrobe. It’s kinda slim. Ain’t Marie H. work- ing? IN THIS best of all possible worlds, provided you don’t expect much, neither the good things nor the bad things are evenly distri- buted. For example, most of the convention bachelors—i. e. dele- gates who knew enough to leave their wives home—are both well heeled and liberal spenders. Not many of the ladies who make a business of keeping visitors from feeling lonely have anything to complain of, but we happened to overhear one forlorn little midi- nette telling a companion of a venture that didn’t pan out so well. Her companion had just nodded in the direction of a flashy looking chap from a large city in the middle West. “They say he’s a knockout lady killer,’ she en- thused. “I believe it,” the for- lorn sister replied. “I was out with him last night and he trie’? to starve me to death.” THE WEEK was young when we heard that story. We sinccre- ly trust that by this time the wist ful frail has landed a live one. * * * WE CANNOT imagine a_ better place for a perambulating geisha girl to stand than a few feet re moved from one of those billboard advertisements of Seeley’s ginger. ale. The picture shows a girl ly- ing in a hammock with lips tan: talizingly parted and legs display | ca in a most provoking manner. Next to the Blue Moon hosiery ads, which have lately disappear | ed, it is the most stimulating ad- vertisement we can recall at this | moment. The only thing wrong, with it is—we mean wrong from the advertiser’s point of view—| that it does not put a man in ie mood for duying gingerale.

Accooe The Grandest Old Man WHEN giving the once over to the grand old men of sportdom, it is particularly difficult to distract one's attention from the visage of WILKERSON, the reputed to be over fifty-year-old school master of Washington, D. C., who year after year dons his tennis apparel and armed with his well seasoned racquets, walks onto the courts with a springiness which many a youth would be proud to possess, and battles his way into a contender's position in tournament after tournament during the tennis season. WHEN tennis began making its impression upon colored America, Wilkerson, though then of an age when most men have retired from active competition, was good enough to vie with the champions of that infant period. It is much to his credit, that it can be said he has kept abreast of the great strides made by our players and after fifteen years of more and better competition each year, this grand old man is still one of the most respected men on the opposite side of the net of any of the first ten of the American Tennis Association. Not only that, but this schoolmaster from the Capitol of the Nation, has often been suspected of letting down on his game when opposing some promising youngster, sacrificing his chances to give the youth an opportunity to gain laurels which might be his. THOUGH reputed as a crab on the courts, it is only his sincerity of purpose and love of the game that has kept him young through many years, that has gained him this reputation, for Wilky, as he is fondly called by his intimates, will beef as much over a bad decision which favors him, as he will over one that goes against him. This one fault fades in to a nonentity, when the virtues of this picturesque figure are totalled. In reflecting, the writer fails to recall any other personality in any other sport more deservingly called a grand old man, than Wilkerson. In fact, to the writer, he is the Grandest Old Man of them all. THOUGH a disappointment to New York, the defeat of Saitch, by Thompson in the finals of the tennis championship, at Hampton, Va., last week, might be the best thing for tennis throughout the Sporting New Sporting News country. In the first place, his defeat should make Saitch a much improved player when the nationals are played next season for with the sting of the defeat registered by Thompson to stir him to greater endeavor, along with the noticeably improved play of several other contestants, who carried the Harlemite to three sets during the week, all will have a tendency to make the popular young New Yorker take his work more seriously. Not that he has consciously loafed, but winning had become so much of a habit, that he had lost the necessary impetus to carry him to a victory over so worthy a foe as the little Washingtonian Others having seen Ted turn the trick, will strengthen their resolutions for another year and as good as the tennis played at Hampton was this year, it is positively sure to be that much better a year hence. TIIE 360TH GOES TO CAMP THE sweet shebas of the lady that make up the personnel of the 369th Infantry, New York's crack military outfit, will have a chance to become lonesome beginning next Sunday. For on that day the regiment of fighting men will leave their armory at 143rd street and 5th avenue, enroute for Camp Smith, Peekskill, N. Y., where they will be until September 4th. However, visiting day, which is announced for Sunday, August 28th, will give the girlies an opportunity to see their sheiks in camp and for a lookin on camp life. Last year the 369th was reputed to have had the greatest number of visitors that even came to Camp Smith and there is no doubt that this year many more will take advantage of the opportunity of seeing the boys in camp. The 369th has held the title of Bayonet Champions for two successive years having qualified more men than any other unit in the State in running the bayonet in 1925-26. With their more efficient training the past winter and spring, it is very probable that they will return on September 4th with more laurels. WILL Flowers get his match with Mickey Walker, is the question being asked around town. Maybe so, but he will first have to get rid of Kentucky Joe Anderson, whom he has signed up to fight ten rounds at the Garden on September 1st. --- News Boxer Held After Rival Dies CLARENCE Shot, Atchison, Kansas, is being held by authorities of Denver, Colorado, following a ten round bout in which he knocked out Jack Madden, of Denver in the ninth round. MADDEN died at the General Hospital as a result of injuries received in the match, and Shot, who is known in the ring as Shot Nunn. at the request of the State Boxing Commission, which is investigating the circumstances leading up to Madden's death.

Healing Sermon Now on Phonograph Records MF EB OOEOL EL An Rw LLOUTEO A most unique and extraordinary development of the further good tt be accomplished through the medi um of the phonograph record ha: just come to our attention. Th. Victor Talking Machine Compan, of Camden, New Jersey have jus released a record, one side’ o which contains the famous healin, sermon entitled “With HIS Stripe. We Are Healed.” =‘ This recordin: was obtained through the F000 graces and kind co-operation of th Very Rey. Bishop F. W. McGee an. members of his congregation o the Church of God in Christ, Bishop McGee has for years bee rendering aid and comfort to th- sick and injured through the mc dium of his prayers and meeting: held throughout the most impert ant cities of the. country. Testi monials are given nightly by men bers of his flock concerning th: suffering which has been relieved and often entirely eliminated, b> the prayers of Bishop MeGee an’ his congregation. On last Wednesday and Frida: night’s mass meetings, attended b: thousands, were held in the Chure! located at 3826) Prairie avenuc Chicago, Ill, at which time the rec ord of “With HIS Stripes We Ai Henled” was played for the congre | exation. The reception of this rec ording was the most genuine anc spontaneous ever witnessed by thi: writer. Literally hundreds of the attending were so inipressed © b: what they heard that arrangment: were immediately made whereby those wishing to were permitted te then and there place their order for one or more of this marvelous record. Many in the congregation bought one of these records to send fo i or injured friends in some listant spot or place who, unable 9 attend the meetings, might de- ‘ive the spiritual good from hear ng Bishop McGee’s voice and ser non so beautifully recorded. Certainly, through this record sishop McGee will he able to carry he word of God to all parts of the ‘orld into homes, hospitals, army amps and other places where, in he past, he has not been able to each—and most of all, to thos rho might be bed-ridden or hope- ‘ssly incapacitated to whom his oice and this sermon, together ith the beautiful singins, wil erve as an eternal and constan‘ ly of glorious sunshine. THE Gabby cne, called Sharkey, can now show whether he is a real sport or not. If he is, he will take on George, who finished the fish peddler in shorter time than Shar- key did, . | 2 « + > Mid Harlem ° I Entertainers Club, : 42 W. 133rd Street MUSIC BY ALBERTA DOUGALL AND HER JAZZ HOUNDS: MABLE SMITH’S HAWAIIAN REVUE Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here aa ae re A 3 eae * PAB Re ela TS | : ° é e Ny er > ee ALBERT M.

The score of the game was tied at 12 to 12 and had to be called in the ninth inniny, as the male chorus had to wend their way to a rehearsal. How- ever the tie will be played off at an early date.
