Certainly no informed person believes it. There is, however, a considerable body of uninformed opinion in America which harbors wierd notions of Negroes along with other superstitions. If this opinion is at all susceptible to fact it certainly ought to be impressed by the last three conventions of the colored Elks, especially the Richmond and New York conventions. THE PRESS of the Southern city was enthusiastic in its praise of the behavior of the colored visitors after the convention had adjourned. That this praise was sincere was amply proved by the willingness, even the eagerness, of the Southern city to have the visitors return. The New York convention brought 100,000 outsiders to the city. To grasp the full significance of this figure one must remember that the visitors were practically confined to a single restricted section of the city, temporarily increasing the population of that section by at least a third. Nevertheless not a single member of the order was arrested. Has Coney Island, with its 100,000 Sunday pleasure seekers, mostly residents of the city and mostly white, ever established a record like that for a single day? We doubt it. Along with more concrete investments in property the colored Elks are investing heavily in good will for the Race. That too, is achievement. --- LITERATURE DID you ever wonder how a bandit feels while committing a major crime, say, a bank hold up? Do you want to sit in your Morris chair and get all the thrill that goes with taking part in robbing a bank within fifty feet of a traffic policeman, sharing the glamour of the exploit and the excitement of the getaway? If you do, run around to the Public Library and take a copy of the September American Mercury from the magazine rack and read "We Rob A Bank," by Ernest Booth. On the way to the library you can see if you can buy a copy of The Mercury at one of the local news stands, but the THE INTER - STATE TATTLER llines An A Weekly Surv chances are that the issue has been sold out; which is worse luck for you for, after reading the article you will want to possess it for future reference. Mr. Booth, the author of the article, is at present serving a sentence for the robbery described in the story. He relates the whole series of emotions and sensations he experienced from the time the crime was planned to its consummation, and he tells the story in such a way that the reader feels himself one of the gang, sharing the nervousness, anxiety and thrill of his pals. The best feature of Mr. Booth's narrative, perhaps, is the complete absence of remorse. There isn't a sob sentence in it, nor anything a Sunday school superintendent could use as an object lesson. After you read the story send us a carton of cigarettes for putting you wise to the most thrilling thing you've read since you hid in the hayloft for your first reading of Old King Brady. AN ACQUAINTANCE returning from Asbury Park tells us that that town is "number" mad. Harlem, in the days of its wildest orgies, he declares, could not approach the passion of the Jerseyites to get two cents down on 726 and a nickel on the bolita. The craze has reached the point where most of the shopkeepers in the sepia section of the town have purchased standardized placards on which they display the winning number in their windows. The "bankers" and runners are living in clover of course, and at least one big corporation is cashing in rich on the gamble. Many runners, unable to reach their clients in person before closing time, resort to the telephone, booking their commissions over the wire and collecting later. Players with late "tips" also phone their bets in, getting a play on a number and paying the premium when the runner calls later in the day. Asbury Park, we have always been told, is one of the most Christian towns in Jersey. Nevertheless, we are willing to bet something pretty against a plugged nickel that the Telephone Company is not going to finance any crusade to stamp out the "number" evil. DURING the recent Elks conven- Published Friday of every week by the Elks Enclosed no accommodation matter * * * NUMBERS LIKE PARIS nd Table vey of the World tion the proprietor of the lunchroom on 138th street and 7th avenue made an experiment which we would like to see adopted by other restauranteurs as a permanent feature. He set a row of tables on the sidewalk, making it possible for his guests to nibble hot dogs, or more substantial viands if they preferred, while enjoying the fresh air and the sights of the avenue. An awning protected the tables from the sun while a canvas fence shielded them from pedestrian traffic. The corner reminded us of post card pictures of the boulevard cafes of Paris, and the effect was so piquant and picturesque that we at once concluded that a half dozen or so similar resorts would enhance the charm of the avenue. SPEAKING of restaurants reminds us of another and more dicty place in—well, it's in Harlem. It is a scrupulously clean refectory, the prices are reasonable, the food is well cooked and the service is efficient. In addition to all that the menu cards are amusing no end. The person who redacts these cards possesses a quaint and surprising talent for improving on English orthography. The word waffles, this person thinks, should be "woffles," and that is the way it appears on the menu. Hollandaise sauce had to metamorphose itself to "Hollandier" sauce before it could get on the card, and cauliflower had to disguise itself as "coller-flower" or otherwise remain off the bill of fare. From which we conclude that the spelling books are sadly in need of revision. FAR be it from us to throw stones, living in a glass house as we do, still we cannot refrain from wondering just what deep thought the make up man of The Amsterdam News had in mind when he ran a page of pictures without captions. If this is a guessing contest of some kind with a heavy prize offered for the right answer we want to get in on it. If, on the other hand, it is just a plain bone we want to retire to the sanctum sanctorum and get loose from a horse-laugh. "Look at that fat old dame coyly dancing her way into the water."

We were eager to read and hear every word of discussion of the subject we could lay eye or ear to, and as we were able to cover ground rapidly in those days we did not miss much of what was either said or written. It was a suffragist meet- ing that gave us our first oppor- tunity to see Fred R. Moore and hear him express his views on an important public issue. THE event was a joint debate arranged by the Y. W. C. A., long before that organization moved uptown from West 53rd street, and Mr. Moore argued the negative. Our memory fails to inform us who his opponent was. We can only remember that he was a lawyer and a celebrity, but whether it was Wilford Smith, the attorney of Booker Washington, or Counsellor Curtis, who later became minister to Liberia, we could not say, to escape the whipping we probably deserve. WE remember the place well enough. It was the large, bare, back parlor the old “Y” used for assembly und social purposes. We remember the audience distinctly. Besides the speakers, only two men were present—ourself and a friend. The rest. of the audience consisted of some twenty-odd timid, school- teacherish looking women who ap- peared not to know or care what it was all about. But the man who argued the aflirmative, the side we were hotly in favor of—we remem- ber him only as a human integer. We could identify him with no Inore assurance than we . could identify one of the department store manikins we happened to see ubout the same time. THE LAPSE of memory is sig- nificant. It shows how completely Fred Moore dominated the scene, imaking such a vivid impression on the mind that his opponent, in con- parison, dwindled to the insignifi- cance of a neuter object. Several years intervened between that ev- ening and the time when we saw Fred Moore again. But always, whenever his name was mentioned, we saw a vivid picture of hin ad- dressing that audience of two ulert und passively combative men and some twenty-odd shyly curivus spinsters. Fred Moore is like that.

WiOE, Prayrinior "Bad Habits of 1928," is One of the 'Boot Musical Comedy Revues. Boasts a Well Balanced Cast IRVIN C. Miller's latest offering is the musical comedy line, his "Bad Habitz of 1928," now playing at the Lafayette Theatre, is one of the best musical comedy revues seen here in several months. WHILE much of his stuff or bits are old and have been worked considerably, yet they fetched millions of laughs despite their age. The musical numbers were spirited and catchy and the dancing, well you all are familiar with Irvin C's famous dancing-singing-beauty ensembles and that's that. Just say a Miller chorus, an Irvin C. Miller chorus and the world will know just what you're talking about. He's famous for turning out the beat in this particular line. WITH such capable entertainers as the one and only Gertrude Saunier, the winsome Margaret Simms, fascinating little Louise Williams, invading Marion Bradford and that saucy child, with the heavy voice, Elizabeth Smith and her size, Irvin C. has more women principals than many companies to be chorus girls. THEN just look over that aggregation of male entertainers, headed by the popular impersario and up your bonnet to Irvin C. There's Callie De Gaston, the half-pint size Canadian, his squeeky pipes and peculiar laugh; Percy Colston and his pleasing singing; George Ranald with that beaming smile and natural stage department; Archie Cross and Bass Lawson, also singing and a young promising male chorus, willing, hard working youngsters, each and every one. FROM the initial curtain until the final the entertainment is most pleasing. Miss Elizabeth Smith, with her uke, and Percy Colson, seemed to be the popular favorites at the time we covered the show. But there is glory enough for all. Little Miss Margaret Simms, bewitchingly sweet, made a warm appeal as did Louise Williams and both were well applauded. GERTRUDE Baunders scored as she usually does, with her quaint mannering and singing. Gallie The Gaston and Irvin C., handled the comedy exceedingly well and kept the folks laughing. Archie Cross appeared to best advantage in a play with Percy Colson, that was introduced an audience. Marlon Dewey Wineglass Heart Vaudeville Program Debacle of Conduct Singer QUICK work on the parlor of Raymond Synder, of the Bloch Theatre, turned disaster into amphs, when Julius Bledsoe and the "Emperor Jones" company entered at the popular West 125th street house, Monday. IT DID not take the manager of Mrs. Lowndes farm amusement house to discover that Julius Bledsoe's interpreter for the O'Neil play was off duty his patrons. He immediately made arrangements to close the shop and replace it with classy large ville acts the following day. DEWEY Winegard "Dancing Demons," leaden in a program, supported by Ann F. Wong and Artie McGinty, Silk Thompson and Billy McHarris Ford and Price, and Hall and Rowes. DEWEY, as it is well known, is one of the best dancing acts to be found. The Freeman-Lebley is a classy character comedy that while McLarin and Thompson are two black race comedians, other two acts are all white trainers and very good. Ford and Price is a comedy act and the other, Hal and Jerry, a singing comedy comedy. WHILE it is reasonable that "Emperor Jones" act and closed, Mr. Bledsoe did so himself to the theatre his questionable if not actions in the last performance the company Monday night see, according to reports his nose to the audience and in prayer, took occasion to beseech people who paid good money to him and the famous producer Bradford, in make a note with Louise Williams, is a special ty. was the Pullman sleeper station with Callie De Carson porter, and how much joy this junction and to be able to ly appreciate what their offer, you'll have to go out to crowd one night like the --- have always maintained productions of Negroes in addition primarily and desirably of colored and only incidentally to the audience We should no the cultural such can be given in some form of form that would be a real credit.

He insists that Negro art should be genuinely native, and we agree with him, but the trend of his argument shows that he has not the mighty idea of what is genuinely Negro and what is not. Like most of our white friends, excepting a precious few, he imagines that Negro life is primitive and that our art should be primitive also. The fact is that Negro life in America is far from being primitive. It is quite so sophisticated, if not so intrinsic to white society, and our art forms must reflect this sophistication or else they will not be genuine, or, in other words, they will not be art forms. from below of youname Xugro an photization all compact, in never thence the most delicate effort in free materials from Xugro like and present them through the medium of the best reuse Broadway has ever seen.

THE courageous Baltimore gymnph has a gigantic task before her and little if any preparation for the hazardous event. As is usually the case, most of our athletes are found unprepared for the test and Miss Jackson is no exception. PLAYING with a musical comedy company downtown, Miss Jackson was not given permission to leave her organization until almost the eleventh hour. She was in doubt of making the trip up until Saturday night of last week, when a surprise party was tendered for and permission to go was granted, THIS only naturally found her in anything like the condition she should be in for such a gruelling race as this Second Wrigley Marathon. Secondly, with little opportunity to become accustomed to the Canadian cold and the waters, she faces another big handfall. Miss Jackson's training has been done mostly in the "Y." SO IT will be an even greater triumph if the Maryland lags come through and wing out despite all the many gigantic hands she will have to over come she will have to fight a field of some three hundred crank swimmers from all parts of the United States and Canada, among the best there being such notables women swimmers as Charabelle Barrett, New Hochelle school teacher, Lotte M. Schroemmel, Ethal Horlie, Lucy Diamond and Loreng Davidson. With the one exception, that at Mrs. Davidson, all the other women named have competed in two or more national and international swimming contests including the Catalina, Lake George, or attempt of the English Channel swimming test. IT IS TO MIX JACKSON'S credit that she at least had the courage to anlar a most of this nature While there are hundreds of our man and born who might win glory Sporting New Sporting News and gold in the water, the fact remains that none have dared to enter the lists against the Nordics. They have passively and weakly admitted the white man's superiority in the water and are making no effort to dispute that superiority. ONLY recently the Daily News hold a big swimming meet and to our knowledge, there was not a single, solitary colored entry listed. There can be no "Color Line" cry in this case, for Paul Gullicen who sponsored the meet, is beyond question one of the fairest sports man in America, and we are firmly convinced that he would not sanction or permit any discrimination. NOW here's hoping Pauline Jackson "Brings Home 'The Bacon," in the words of another Balthmorhen the immortal Joe Guns. But whether or she wins or not, here's to Pauline Jackson. We would have liked to have had her fully prepared for the race and would have loved to make the trip with her in the glorious quest for fame and fortune. BY the time our publication is off the press, the Toronto Wrigley Swimming Marathon will be over and Pauline on her way back here.

McVoy Had the Edge Cleveland, O., Aug. 31. Jack McVey, conceding more than twelve pounds to ex-welterweight champion Pete Latzo, surprised the who bettors here last night by outboxing and outfighting the former champ in the twelve rounds. Only Latzo's ruggedness and stamina enabled him to go the distance at the first pace the New York fighter set. McVey was a revelation to the fans. His steady, relentless forcing tactics kept the Pennsylvania Italian on the defensive. McVey was the master boxer. He forced the issue at all times, making Pete lead and then countering or beating the fighting miner to the punch. He anothered or stopped inside of Latzo's leads and jolted the Italian with short, snappy punches to head and body. Lutzo's big advantage stood him in good stead in the rapid fire exchanges, when the shifty colored boy elected to slug with the former champion. But even here, with the white boy's advantage in poundage, Jack showed to advantage. It was the colored boy's second appearance here in a major bout and the fight fans are fully satisfied that Moe is really the goods and entitled to a shot at the middleweight title and Mickey Walker, the champion.

MOORE Continued from Page 5 are free to admit that our type of man, given full control of things, would never land a people anywhere except in the hall of oblivion. WE MAKE this confession without apology. There is a place in the scheme of things for the pagan temporament. Its function is to give color and gaiety to life, to enrich and embellish civilization. But when the pagan philosophy becomes the dominant philosophy of a people there is pretty soon no civilization left to embellish. EVERY people, if permitted a normal development, will inevitably reach a stage when Roman discipline may be safely abandoned in favor of Roman indulgence. Races and nations, like individuals, have periods of growth, development and decline. After a man has won economic and social security he can afford to ease up and spend the afternoon of life in gracious living. He may even indulge in some of the follicles of youth he missed while fighting for success. Gracious living, it will be remembered, is another name for idle living, and the youth with unmade success who attempts to indulge in it will not achieve anything but a rickety chin in the poorhouse if he is lucky, or lodgings on a park bench if he is not. The same is true of races. When a race without economic or political security goes in for living the sophisticated life of the Greeks of 450 B. C., the Englishmen of the Restoration or the Americans of 1927 that race is, in the effective language of 183rd Street, sucking around for the oblivion of the Hittites. BOLICITUDE for the still uncertain destiny of his people, we believe, rather than any tendency toward moral fanaticism, inspires Mr. Moore's incessant Jeremiads against the caressing and observing views which may be conveniently included in the term "the gay life." The gay life is sweet and colorful but it impairs health, consumes time, dissipates wealth and otherwise diminishes the stamina and resources we need to make our impression on history. A sound sociological conclusion, not more political expediency, underlies such crusades as his recent wars on Harlem bootlaggers and number bankers. WE EMPLOY the word "more" advisedly. As Mr. Moore is far from being a hopeless idealist, his reform activities do contain a measure of expediency. A leader wholly above expediency is a leader who will not accomplish anything concrete. Mr. Moore is not satisfied to inspire enthusiasm with high sounding phrases. He is bent on obtaining definite results. He knows that the surest way to put THE INTER - STATE TATTLER over the proposition he believes in is to adopt the expedient method. His campaign against the bootleggers furnishes a convenient example of how deftly he combines expediency and sincerity. We do not know whether he favored the passage of the liquor laws or not. But now that they are on the statute books he strenuously advocates their enforcement. That is virtually the only logical position for a Negro leader to assume. If he should connive at the nullification of the Eighteenth Amendment how could he consistently argue for the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth? The man inevitably keeps his feet on the ground. ONLY slightly less complenous than his attitude on public questions is the long list of his private benevolences. Is there a colored candidate running for office? Then Fred Moore nominates himself a one-man campaign committee whose function is to buttonhole every probable voter he comes in contact with and remind him, or her, of his duty. Is there some white candidate who promises to fight for some concrete improvement for Harlem? Ditto. Is there some civil service employee who isn't getting a square deal? Or some mother whose son has run out of the law? Then Fred Moore becomes a one-man electionary in situation. Indeed, the man is a community. kind of Roman father to the whole IN journalism Mr. Moore inclines to the old school and publishes his paper on the assumption that there are still a few people who want to read news and not headlines only. There must be quite a number of old tosols who agree with him, for The Age calls. In political allign ment he is a strenuch but not a hidehound Republican. Lately the party has designated him for Adder man. We think it is a pretty re ward for a man who has served his community and his party so long and so well. Nevertheless, since he seems flattered by the honor, we are willing to do what we can to help him get the office.

Numbers and characters with respect and receive type when working for well housed people, and while one does not give a doctor so much at the conclusion of the dark work, one does, if one is wealthy, present him with an expression of great interest in establishing the private symbiosis he has been wanting to open.

DURING the recent talks converse them we were talking to a delegate who runs a garage business in a small town in the Middle West. In the course of the conversation he informed us that after finishing a repair job for a wealthy client, he simply returns the car and warns them later forward a letter announcing that the work has been done. The result, he said, is that continued on page 111 --- Vriday, September 2, 1927 LIFE AND ART by PENMAN LOVINGGOOD THE MIX VARIATE is always a device of fascination, even when the elements prove upon the proceedings how broad contents. On Tuesday the Antlered Herd married forth under a hydrizzled sky and showed courage, along with other qualities dear to the proprietors. The loyalty of the orcharders was also a thing to be tainted. When some favorite son passed by, in the Home Town Baner appeared there was great cheer in some section of the Avenue. THE Bands were very much in evidence. Some of the Antlered Bands are quite Famous, as you know. And they vie with each other, as only bands in the same order can. WE happened to be with a friend formerly of the district of Colusa win, and there was a show of pride when the D. C. boys came by, although that friend is now a loyal New Yorker. Such a Puzzle is residential loyalty. It was also deemed singular by the aforementioned enthusiast that the New York papers, those published on the day of the Parade mentioned only the D. C. contingency. We suggested that they had to mention somebody, and perhaps it was for the reason that the D. C. boys were playing Jazz, and this same Jam has a way of getting shold of people, even staid and steady ones. IF you can recall the performance of the Fifteenth Hand during the days of the selective Draft, and during the period of German occupation, you will remember that they played Jazz. In fact it was Europe's first time to hear Jazz, and she has not heard enough of it yet. The only adverse element to this lyric offering is that it is sometime overdone, and sometimes badly done also. I think that if popular music had the property of always being impeccably played, even Mr. Ernest Newman it's most mild denouncer, would be less a denouncer. There was the Band—from the Mite Monarch led on by Lieut. Simpson, veteran of many contests; not only with Antlered Groups, but with fine bands outside. Music lovers remember the affairs at the huge Armory some years ago, when the Philadelphia R. C. O. brought praise from the veteran John Philip Sousa. TWO elements evidently go to make up a fine Military Band. They seem obvious, and hardly demand enumeration, but obvious things are really important things. Fine instruments and competent players. We mention fine instruments primarily because not even a Heifetz can perform on what violinists call THE INTER - STATE TATTLER "a cigar box". And Rodman Wana maker provided the R. C. O. boys with a complete allotment of the World's finest instruments. I doubt not that the players were about par in each of the Bands, but these little things which after all are the very big items, in the life of an organization. THE Big Parade was a success, in all its wetness, and the collection of water that the musicians gathered that day. In fine instruments can be blown out to the tune of rejoicing over the New York conclave. (continued from page 10) the cheque is usually for a larger sum than he could charge if he billed the customer. DR. SCHUYLER continue; "When, too, both the taking and giving of tips develops a psychology that is inimical to the cultivations of the true democratic spirit. You cannot feel yourself on a level with a person before whom you are fanning in order to get a measly dime. The whole system is a left-over from the past with all its social inequalities and invidious tradations. THIS from Dr. Schuyler! The man we have learned to regard as a spiritual Prussian! When we read that we felt like breaking out at arms and crying, "You too, Brutus!" The fact that tipping tends to counteract and undermine democracy hooey is one of the strongest reasons why it should be retained as a national system. The inequality of individuals is obvious and the quicker a person recognizes that fact for all practical purposes the better it is for the people. Nor is it true that sycophany is a necessary prelude to tip. We have seen hotel owners far more obsequious than hotel waiters. Most waiters and bellhops regard themselves as free lance salesmen of service. The pay they receive from the hotel owner is merely compensation for performing certain light chores in the dining room, such as polishing silver and replenishing condiment containers. The tip is the pay they receive for the service they render the customer. After they learn that a man is a dime customer they give him dime service; if he is a four bit customer, they give him four bit service, just as a merchant gives a buyer the quality of article he pays for. There are lickspittle menials of course, just as there are lickspittle hod carriers who seek to curry favor with the straw boss and be the last one laid off when the slack season comes. Self respect or the lack of it is inherent in the man not in the kind of work he does or how he receives his pay. --- TIPS Tickets On Sale at Club House Trains Leave Penn.

The other replied simply, "I don't introduce aim to anybody." HOTEL OLGA ARRIVAL8 Dr. B. B. Jeffers, Steelton, Pa.; Att'y John W.

(Broadway) Jones District Manager Newark Office: 279 Bank Street Phone: Mitchell 10081 Information concerning the whereabouts of Miss Anise Boyer, the eleven-year-old Charleston and toe dancer, is desired by Mr. William Wells, of 492 Washington street. *** I attended the grand opening of the Cotton Club cabaret, on Arlington street at Branford Place, Wednesday evening, August 17th. It is the most beautifully interior decorated cabaret in Newark. All the Hugh Timers, both colored and white, paid their most cordial respects to the management, on the opening night. We all wish the Cotton Club much success in the future. I'll say we do. *** What's the matter with Bobby Jenkins? Has he lost his head because he has a job as the assistant manager of the new Cotton Club cabaret? Bobbie should remember Francis was good to him when he didn't have that job and he should never mistreat her at any time. He has quit her, but he may need her again before this long hard winter is over. Don't be a fool Bobbie. Your friend, J. I. C. *** Who is the new broad Mr. Alfonso Jackson has now?

I was only talking to her on business and I don't want to have to give you a good beating about anything. Be yourself. Jim Hall. ***Two good pals have separated. Who? Why Pinkie and Sarah of course. You see it was this way. A certain young lady made Pinkie forget all about Sarah, so Pinkie moved to this other young lady's residence. That caused the argument. *** Alma, that was a dirty trick to mess Pockets all up the way you did. Of course, it was Pockets' fault for not letting you out of the room when you asked him to. Now is that nice? *** Say Marie, I saw your sweet daddy, Cliff, down at Asbury and he told me to tell you that he still loves you. What did you do to Cliff? *** Say Charlie Pittman, you had better stop swinging at these women's jaws and messing them up because some day we will find you cut all to pieces.

Bobby Lee's broadcasting Cotton Pickers who are the talk of New Jersey will furnish the music. *** If you are not fortunate enough to come to the Sea Girt Inn Ball, tune in on WDWL at 11 P. M. and hear Bobby Lee. *** Don't fail to get the next week's issue, for the Eagle will close his eyes and open his mouth, and it will be too bad. He covers the married men and women who have left their better halves at home to be good. Backbiters and hustlers must go. *** Harry Graham, the scandal Inn boys are kicking on you. They say that you are a "juice beggar" Always tanked up and never buy any. *** Bob D. Who will sing "The Russian Lullaby" to you this winter, Margaret, or 101 Askins avenue?

He spent the whole Sunday watching a "Monte Game". *** Where will Charles Patterson go this winter? Some one has taken his place on 129th street. I guess that he will join the birds and fly South. *** Dr. Bradley, what is keeping you in Asbury Park so long? Is it the tall brown Madame Bradley is becoming very much attached to Bob?

The crowd, though not as large as expected, was orderly and seemed to like the music and the place. Jack Holt played as usual. We noted that a certain matron from a neighboring town, drove over just in order to dance with one individual. Although her mother was there as chaperon, her act caused comment. The only one under the influence was Sweeney. A married woman, in order to retain the respect of her husband and others should play the game on the level, no matter what he does or how he does it. It he runs, leave him, but don't run. This advice is given to one or two of our young married women who are wallowing in mire. *** Elmer Deyes desires to know what is the matter with the folks in town that they refuse to patronize a dance in a spacious clean decent place? The answer is the place is handled too decently for them. *** Furman Templeton considers the Tattler a filthy sheet. Harvey Young finds it amusing. One Miss thinks it disgusting, while another reads it but is scared of the Drippings. One minister thought that the editorials were worth reading, while a bootlegger admitted that it had increased his trade. They all read it. *** To all who wish to rent Arcola Dance Hall: Mr. Davis is in charge and has control over all affairs of any kind or description that shall be given there by our people. In other words, if you want it, see him. If you see the manager your request will be sent to W. E. D. for his approval. He By Doc Friday, September 2, 1927 has an option on the hall for semimonthly events. Which is as it should be, since he was the first to see the possibilities of Arcola.
