The Inter-State Tattler

Popular Debutante Crowned "Queen of Savoy" Gotham claims Miss Conyers as one of its foremost social lights, but she is equally as prominent in Boston. (Do you think the judges could refrain from awarding her the first prize of $200?) Miss Conyers is one of the charming members of the Debutante Club and is secretary for Dr. J. H. N. Jones, prominent New York physician.

Kennerly IT WAS a holiday when Mr. Kennerly and we s with a feeling that our had not suspected that garage not afford the luxury of a ho found Mr. Kennerly superi job. His hands were grimy carbon and there was grease saying goes, up to his neck in The SEPIA GALLERY Says Leonard E. Kennerly, Builder of Large Business T WAS a holiday when we were assigned to interview Mr. Kennerly and we started for his place of business with a feeling that our errand would be in vain. We had not suspected that garage owners, like journalists, cannot afford the luxury of a holiday. We were wrong. We found Mr. Kennerly superintending an emergency repair job. His hands were grimy, his collar was smudged with carbon and there was grease on his clothes. He was as the saying goes, up to his neck in work. THE incident serves as an illustration of the character of the man. Mr. Kennerly does not have to soil his hands or clothes with work. He employs an ample force of well paid workmen and if he were so inclined he could sit in his office and give orders and receive reports. But assuming an aloof and superior attitude is foreign to his nature. He likes to get close to his work and keep in intimate touch with its details. And so we found him, on a day generally given to leisure and recreation, personally giving a hand in repairing a disabled car so somebody else could enjoy the holiday. PERSONAL supervision of all the work in his plant, he told us later in his office, is his idea of service. His success, he declares, is the result of conscientious service to his patrons and he is proud to have achieved it that way. We had already reached that conclusion by observing the arrangement of the plant. The office is disproportionately small in comparison with the garage. Many a man with a quarter of the business Mr. Kennerly could boast of, but does not, would have offices much more pretentious. Mr. Kennerly does not appear quite at ease in his office. One can readily see he feels more at home out on the floor of the garage where the work is going on, where the jacks, lubricants, spare parts and accessories are. LEONARD E. KENNERLY is a native of Sewanee, Tenn.. but he was carried to Iowa, while quite young and he was raised and received his education in that state. He came to New York, 25 years ago and obtained employment as a chauffeur. During a slack spell in his chosen work he was an elevator operator but when the demand for chauffeurs picked up again he returned to that line of work and remained in it until he went in business for himself. 2.

We large owners, like journalists, can holiday. We were wrong. We intending an emergency repair y, his collar was smudged with on his clothes. He was as the n work. HIS first venture was a small garage and repair shop situated in West 139th street. That was in 1917. His present garage, which is located in West 144th street, has a frontage of 100 feet. He owns the business from the ground up, being landlord as well as a proprietor. The building accommodates 5 cars. He owns two limousine hearses and two limousine passenger cars. He employs 9 men, full time, including 2 expert mechanics. He also gives part time employment to 5 extra chauffeurs. His employees are well paid. Chauffeurs tell us Mr. Kennerly is the most liberal employer in the city. No man on his payroll receives less than $30 a week. Recently, Mr. Kennerly declined an offer of $85,000 for his business, exclusive of his funeral service. $100,000 would be a conservative estimate of the value of his business as a going concern. The fact that this business is only ten years old tells the whole story of Mr. Kennerly's ability as a business man. THE LATE Elbert Hubbard was fond of saying that when God had important work to be done he always looked around for a man who was already so busy he did not have a minute to spare for anything else and ordered him on the job.

Role in the Glorious Success of Paradise SAVE The Mid-Harlem The Famous Original Entertaining Waiters of Smalls’ Seventh Avenue Money and Time Entertainer’s Club Palace of Mirth One of the Finest and Most Courteous WHERE? 42 West 188rd Street When Mr. Edwin Smalls first blazed the trail with the aid of “Dixie” Bonds and a group of young men some years back on Fifth avenue, the WATCH WORD was “Courteous, Effici- ent Service at All Times.” And that was the slogan when Mr. Smalls moved to more spacious quarters at 2294 7th ave- nue, where the glorious Paradise of today is the mecca of night life here in Harlem. It has always been Ed’s policy to give the best and every man of his loyal crew has seen to it and given the most courteous service. These men form one of the most efficient organizations in night life. They are all members of Mon- arch Lodge, No. 45, I. B. P. O. E. W., of New York, and hon- est, conscientious workers. They are loyal to their lodge and their race as well as their employer, getting rid of any man guilty of dishonesty or is not LOYAL. anere nas been a great change recently in the executive personnel of the Paradise. No introduction is necessary for genial Jimmy Ashe, the newly appointed mer.. who is a favorite with all who know him. Jimmy, one of the most obliging souls to be found any- where, has a host of friends. Jimmy Sampson, now the secre- tary, is an efficient and conscient- jous worker and is also a very pop- ular figure in the social life of tne community. Frank Scott, of At- lantic City, more popularly known as “Skits,” is the newly appointed headwaiter. He is a very efficient young man, who has one of the most efficient organizations of waiters obtainable. Skits certain- ly has improved the service fully one hundred per cent since taking charge. He has sixteen honest, courteous, loyal waiters under him with two able captains. These men are a big asset to the popular Seventh Avenue Club and have won the highest praise for their prompt and courteous service. In addition to this, they are the “Original Entertaining Waiters,” and the patrons of the Paradise get many a thrill out of the work of these spirited young men. Clarence Rhett, Frank Giblo, and Harold Washington will always be found at the door to welcome the guests and escort them to the most advantageous tables available. Char- ley Johnson and his original Para- dise Band has just recently return- ed from a successful tour of the country and will be found playing nightly at the “Paradise.” Mable White, Alto Oats, Viola McCoy, “Blondina” Sern, Maude Woodson, Susie Wrotan, Dewey Brown, “Jazz- bo” Hilliard, Conway and Duckette, with a bevey of six bewitching dancing maids, work in the revue and furnish high class entertain- ment, second to none. Mr. Edwin Smalls, the popular proprietor of the Paradise, wishes to thank the public for its loyal support in the past and promises « no: pains. a the fet be be patress at all times. “STOLEN SWEETS” WILL PLAY HURTIG SEAMON’S ONE of the most pretentious bur- lesque shows of the season, “Stolen Sweets,” will open at Hurtig and Seamon's, West 125th street, this coming Monday, for a» week. The production is staged over a period of two hours and a half, in two acts and thirty scenes. THE cast is headed by Charles (Bimbo) Davis, one of the best tramp comedians in burlesque and a sure fire laugh preducer. Fe will be supported by Miss Bea Bell, a clever little soubrette, who it is claimed, sings and dances more than any other woman on the Mu- tual Circuit. BELLE Miller, the prima donna, will be remembered for her well cultivated voice and charming per- sonality during her visit here last season. with a similar attraction, Arline Winks is another soubrette and is well named, because she possesses a wink that is said to eclipse the saucy wink of Cissy Fitzgerald. SAPARO WILL CONDUCT BAMBOO INN ORCHESTRA The opening of Bamboo Inn, dur- ing the first week of October as a Supper Club, will have Henri ‘Sa- paro as conductor of the New Bamboo Inn Orchestra, with an en- semble of ten master musicians. Rehearsals are taking place daily, under the direction of the well- known Will Marion Cook, at the Mah Jong Inn, in conjunction with the strenuous training of the re- vue, in which Honey Brown and Ida Bennett will co-star with a bevy of charming damsels. Mr. Sa- paro is also responsible for the production of the revue. He is as- sisted by George Stamper, who is really offering a snappy musical show, -far above the ordinary night club revue, and boasts a i -song numbers, speslally written r thts production.

Anderson. Making life gay is Prof. Anderson's specialty. Those of us who remember when the center of social and night life was downtown in the forties and fifties, will recall that Prof. Anderson's dancing academy in West Fifty-third street was the most popular rendezvous in the city. The tide of social activities has flown uptown since then and the amusement resorts, which ever follow in the wake of society, have taken more expansive quarters in Harlem. It is pleasing to note that the old master of them all has kept pace with the prevailing trend. THE Renaissance will open formally Saturday evening, September 24th, and Sunday afternoon and evening. September 25th, two crack orchestras, one of which will be Vernon Andrade's Renaissance Orchestra, will furnish the music for the shadow dancing, and the more formal dances for the less agile and conservative patrons; and during intermissions, high class vaudeville acts will offer diversion. Attractive souvenirs will be distributed by more attractive hostesses, while the entertainment in 7th Avenue and 132nd Street LAFAY THE ONE WEEK, BEGINNING Billy Andrews and "Nighting Mary Strain Andrew Tribble Alice Dixon And a Glorious B Maids In Addition to "The Stol No Advance in Prices B.

The last of stars is an exceptically good one presenting many old favorites. THERE is Ethel Dudley, the two Rudolphs, Royster and Tombs, William Rudd and a bevey of clever dancing maids. These girls are: Fannie Jacobs, Pearl Robinson, Bea Ruthledge, Thelma Salmon, Editin Olvera and "Puggie" Bolden.

NO small part of the enigmatic nature of any serious consideration of womankind is to be found in the fact that woman does not fathom her own nature. BIOLOGICALLY this strata of the human race does actually constitute one half of the composite whole. "As unto the bow the string is; so unto the man is woman." No small part of the advancement in the arts and cultural pursuits are directly traceable to a feminine influence; on the other hand, the upward rise of costs of domestic necessities and particularly the establishment of certain highly tinseled notions with regard to standards of civilizations are also directly traceable to feminine influence, and has done more to make the economic and financial tension the tightly drawn institution that it is today. Page 6 WE have called life a paradox, that is a contradictory proposition. We herewith hail and consider well-met the supreme Paradox of the Universe, Woman! Extremists in the fullest sense of the word. Woman has within her make-up to an amazing degree, the sense of understanding the finer things of spiritual significance, which is accountable for the fact that the originator of any new thing cultural, esthetic, or otherwise advanced, will generally find in womankind a more willing listener than men will be found to be; on the other hand she will give ear to the next originator or creator of a new idea in the same way that the first had won her attention. It is a sympathetic nature, but not one calculated to be very faithful or constant. THAT Verdi and Arrigi Boito should immortalize "La donna e mobile," is certainly far from a mere coincidental occurrence, nor that Sir Adam said "the woman thou gavest me," had been the immediate cause of his changed position in the world. WOMAN'S capacity for nobility of motive and purpose is in most instances limited only by the press of circumstance. WHAT the future of Woman will be no human can say, but the I SEE by the news, the engagement of Margaret Hagarth to Edward Cherot. That's nice—real nice!

Granting that the work-a-day world has enormous need for its quota of work from the hands of the Amazon, yet it would seem they were fashioned more for leaning up a cypress tree, than for juggling with the rule of three. Susceptibility to flattery is perhaps the most devastating thing for these dear kind members of the opposite sex. All human beings are much in love with this brand of deceit, but frequently the song of flattery will do what the song of the flame can't do for the time being. I DO feel however that the time will come, in fact must come when mankind and womankind will not look upon each other as mortal enemies sworn to make life as miserable for each other as possible. I feel that when women as a whole have become more used to the newer freedom, that there will come a truer understanding, a fuller realization of the real issues with which mankind must come face to face in working out the scheme of progress. --- MY!

This being the one requested the privilege to answer Mr. editor, was quite willing to account the following article by Mr. Schiffman. There appeared in a recent article under the title of "Lowdowning, "Our Stage Is at Its Best When pound words and complex phrases satire that would do credit to a man gives the impression that Harlem theatres present entertainment wh --- During the course of his article, the writer tells his readers either specifically or by intimation, that preachers have their "private women," that married women grow wan because of their household duties, that young girls lose their beauty because of the consistent use of contraceptives and that the Theatre has taken the place of the bawdy house and the saloon. These things are said in such a way as to leave no doubt in the mind of the reader that the author believes they describe the conditions existing generally throughout Harlem, and that he speaks authoritatively. After reading the article, I sought out Mr. Bennie Butler, the managing editor of The Inter-State Tattler. I found to my surprise that he had not even read it. I then sought an interview with Mr. Lewis, the editor and author of the article. I accused him in as plain words as I could command, of having mis-stated things, of having slandered the community, the theatre and the theatre-goers. I asked him for the source of his information. I asked him when he had seen girls throw spit-balls at the young men in the audience. (His article stated that he had observed this). I asked him when he had seen girls wink at the audience, when he had seen them shake their torsos so as to excite the sex passions of the audience, when he had seen the girls in any scandalous costumes? To none of these questions could he give a definite answer. He said that they were either literary exaggerations or "No, I didn't see them, but it's my way of putting it." So the article was shorn of its logic and its truthfulness and remained revealed as the brain child of a gifted writer who is intoxicated with his own power over our language, and who either refuses to recognize or who cannot recognize the difference between Truth and Exaggeration. And the pity of it is the keener, because Mr. Lewis is a gifted master of our language and is needed by the community in which he lives and by the world at large for constructive criticism of evils which actually exist. Lack of space does not permit as detailed an answer to the article as I would like to give, but those who read this and who have visited the Lafayette Theatre and have seen "The Mid-Nite Steppers," "Dashing Dinah," "Drake and Walker's Revue," and similar revues, can surely testify that there was no obscenity nor indecency in any one of them.

Mother, sweetheart and child could have sat through any of these shows without being exposed to the moral dangers which Mr. Lewis spoke of in his article. Mr. Lewis concluded his article by observing that all he criticised was "good" because it was "human." This is but a sugar-coated, bitter pill. Surely no one will excuse human extravagances and human frailties because they are "human." The world has long recognized that restraint is at the foundation of Morality—of Liberty itself. And the entertainment presented in Harlem's theatres needs no sugar-coated apology of this sort. While I can speak authoritatively only of the Lafayette, I am familiar with the programs presented in other theatres. It is generally conceded by the theatrical fraternity that the shows presented at the Lafayette are at least as good and as clean as theatrical entertainment presented anywhere in the city—and that includes. Broadway shows at $3.85 a seat. In the final analysis, the Public is the judge of all things. Obscenity ceases when the Public frowns. Men do not take their wives and daughters where the blush of shame is brought to their faces by the words or actions of performers. The size and character of the Lafayette's audiences is a more effective refutation of Mr. Lewis' charges than volumes of argument and hours of debate. (Signed) Frank Schiffman.

A CAR, wine and the girl, that's enough. Page Fred. CASPER J. walked into a hornets nest Saturday night, when he went to see Vera. Always telephone first. Casper. MADGE V. walked into a doorknob and received a beautiful black eye. She must have been walking on her knees or that was a mighty high knob. JIMMY C. took Marion to Small's Sunday. I'm gonna tell. IF I see that Chrysler roadster in front of 2400 7th avenue again, I'm going to take the battery out so that it will be there when Joe gets home. Careful, Tom. WHO was the dark taxi driver that called for Marion? Ask Charles, he knows. WHAT! Again! Oh, that's nothing. They do that every once in a while. They'll be together again. It never lasts. Page Roy. DON'T talk out of school, Alma. PERCY please leave Mary alone. She keeps complaining. If she tells Roy, it will mean quite a rumpus. THE rumor about Gardner Kinkett and Lloyd Thomas and the --- --- COLLEGIATE DOPE SAW "Kitty" J., Sunday night, looking for a quiet place. "BOB" Pauyne hit the city all "stacked-up." He was in the "Leather Department" of New York Central in Albany. STRETCH Gregory is all signed up to do his "Frosh" work at Columbia. "SLIM" Steele is at Alfred University this year. A little girl that thinks well of Herbie H., gave a party for him Friday night before he left for Lincoln University. THE newly organized Frivolity and Dramatic Club gave a hot freebee. Collegians were in power. WONDER if Val and Alice of "Rang Tang" are returning to school this Fall. GERTIE W. was seen, past the mid-nite hour, hurrying in the direction opposite her home.....? ETHEL M. has decided to make pictures. Hope she doesn't have to do any dancing. That's rang tang. WE all are wondering what school Gus M., will attend this year. TELL us, Patsy W., is Nappy N. your beau? SOMEBODY said that Ed Watt has a potent line. Ask K. H., she should know. CHARLIE Johnson is to attend school in New England this Fall. Here's luck. --- THE "Three Musketeers" that held up 135th street corner Friday night, must have been looking for the "Orphans of the Storm." Page Gene, Hong-Kong and Curtiss. WE wonder why a certain young lawyer, beg pardon, I mean cook, was found sleep on the stoop of 2366 7th avenue, at 5 o'clock in the morning. Anyway, he made the cop think that he owned the place. THE INTER - STATE TATTLE NO! Not every night. Bill. He burnt up the chickens And burnt up the duck. Then he got the dickens. Now that's hard luck. "Club Ebony," has been verified in part. At least there are groups of workman going in and out of 65 West 129th street, the site of the old "Club Bramville," which is to be the home of the new "Club Ebony. It is also being whispered about, that the two men in question were seen in consultation at 129th street and Lenox avenue. Looks very suspicious. HE met her in front of the Bank and took her downtown to a show. Watch Bill. Ruth. I wonder if the doctor realizes how pretty his secretary is. JERRY might take Elsie out once in a while instead of those he has been seen with. She is and will mean much more to him this winter. That's a dirty crack too. THE very idea of a full grown man threatening to commit suicide because a little 18 year old flapper gave him his walking papers, is enough to cause another eclipse. If you must die, jump into the Harlem River and say as you jump, "Here goes nothing." I would advise George to buy rubber gloves to do his chopping with. Those fingernail scars last a long time. MAYBE Jack knows something about that black eye. Next time I see him I am going to ascertain if he carries a door knob with him. WHAT'S gonna happen, Charlie Hackney, the master has gone to work and even Joe Hilliard is collaring a wicked slave. Well hard times will make a monkey eat red hot coals. RUMOR has it that several others of "Rang Tang" are slated to go. That is, they'll quit. Can you imagine folks quitting thirty-five to a hundred dollar a week jobs? Neither can we but that's what they'll tell the pop-eyed world, without cracking a smile. GOLDIE Collick is just too bad in her new La Salle Coupe with Mr. so and so riding with her. Step back girls and let her pass. OH RUTH, tell your brother Bill something. Who ever heard of a shelk being put out of The Savoy? IT SEEMS to us that Earl and Cooky are very thick. We saw you two on your way to the sewing circle. Ha! Ha! AL AND ROBERTA don't seem to get along very well. Probably Al just does not care for cheap girls. "BOJANGLES" and Ethel Waters made it too hot for Blossom Seeley at The Capitol Theatre last Monday. H. WATKINS, we must give you the title of "Fashion Plate Wall." Price seems to have quit us cold. Enough said. OH SAY, H. Rawlins, what's wrong with that certain party down on 129th street and 8th avenue? Have you lost your jive or is C. Price on the job. Maybe J. Hands is busy again. WELL, since the big time college boys are leaving town for their classes, maybe "Us Small Sheiks" can get our girls back. Page B. M. K., C. Taylor and H. Rivers. ISN'T IT FUNNY, very funny how some parties will stand around the N. V. A., 132nd street and 7th avenue, and blow. They have no time for girls. WHAT kind of men are they? Page Earl and Cooky. "GRETTA" Andrews, just back from her European tcur, is just too cute for even a prince. This vivacious, tantalizing brown, certainly has grown into facinating beauty after sojourning in Europe for nearly three years. WE wonder how Al and Val, the two Washington, D. C. beauties of "Rang Tang," do it? First they peddle a doll to eat and then spring a million dollar outfit the next day. One day milk and honey. next day yer got no mo-nie. A certain newspaper man called at The Lincoln Theatre to see Lucille Hegiman. He found her wrapped in the arms of another gent, deeply interested in a photo play. The newspaper man CURVED and with plenty of English on as he beat it for the nearest exit. SEEMS as if Mae Barnes and Levenia Mack's dressing in the star's room at The Majestic does not agree so well with several members of "Rang Tang." Yet yer gotter hand it to Mae and "Venie" for shaking a nifty combination of hoofs. MAUD Russell's coming also caused some consternation for our young lady ups and quits and they had to beg her to stick on the job Well. you can imagine just how much begging was necessary for a hundred a week.

Friday, September 23. 1927 THE APEX COLLEGE OFFERS PROFESSIONAL TRAINING FOR WOMEN A Complete Course in Advanced Beauty Culture Is Scientifically Taught for a Reasonable Fee. It cannot be denied that beauty culture is one of the most distinguished of professions. The Beautician, (a new word coined to designate the profession of those who devote themselves to making others beautiful) is worthy of wide recognition and is classed as one of the leading occupations for artistic persons. The performance of beauty operations requires intelligent and skillful manipulation of instruments, and science has proved this profession to be one of the most scientific of arts. Hence, because of the importance of knowing the beauty art scientifically, many states require beauty operators to produce diplomas from recognized beauty colleges before the state will issue a license to practice. The Apex System, as taught at the Apex College, is recognized throughout the entire country as the most practical and progressive method of developing beauty. The Apex College is a school of merit and refinement. Its spacious instruction rooms are light, airy and conspiciously sanitary. The teachers of the Apex System at this institution are of an intelligent status that is superb. After long years of study and practical experience, they have adapted themselves to the position of instructor, affording a wide knowledge, not only of the practical end of the operations, but of the scientific growth and structure of the hair and skin. Beauty culture in all its branches which includes the following subjects are taught: Marcel Waving, Bobbing, Manicuring, Systematic Massaging with Hands and Mechanical Apparatus, Shampooing and Cultivating the Hair, Hot Oil Treatments, Dyeing and Tinting. Treatment of Minor Scalp Infections, All kinds of Mud Packs, French Hair Dressing, Clipping, Singing, Scalp Massage, French Curling, Sanitation and Sterilization, Use of Cosmetic preparations, Eye Brow Arching. No student is graduated from the college until she can do the work with thoroughness and precision. The graduate is given a handsome big diploma and a beginner's outfit free. She can begin business anywhere she chooses and feel confident that she can perform scientifically any operation of her profession. She has gained a knowledge which will bring forth success and independence, as there is more money to be made in beauty culture than any other legitimate business. The college is generally able to THE INTER - STATE TATTLER place graduates in good paying positions in Apex Shoppes as the demand for Beauticians is always far above the supply. Students can enter the school at any time. Classes are held afternoons and evenings. The price of the course is reasonable. Terms arranged satisfactorily. Further information in regards to this professional training can be had by calling or writing to the Apex College, 200 West 135 street, room 110, Edgecombe 9860.

PHILADPLPHIA OFFICE: 1026 8. 17th STREET ABOUT PEOPLE YOU KNOW The summer season having closed at the shore and mountain alike, the old town is enveloped in an epidemic of handshaking and “Hello, where were you—when did you get back?” etc. AS an ex- } ample, Smiling Neville Reed greet- ed the old gang, looking fit and ready, after summering in Watch Hill, R. I. “Glad to see you back, old man.” “Ah, boy, glad to get back,” says Nev. “Had a wonder- ful season though.” “Why, here’s Betty Allen, fresh from Asbury Park. Looks wonderful to some.” Says she is wonderful. Louis Ly- tell blew in from Atlantic City. Same old Louis—full of pep. The White Brothers’ Ginger Band are up from Wildwood for a day or two, then they go to Bethlehem, to play a few dates for Lehigh Uni- versity; after which they return to Philadelphiw for a season run at Club Alabam, Broad and_ Bain- bridge streets. The McRae Bro- thers’ Band from the Orion Club, Atlantic City, has accepted an en- gagement at Danceland, so they are buzzing around getting settled. Well, well, well, here is Wilbur De Paris up from the “Gateway” Ocean City, where he summered with Leroy Smith’s aggregation. Same old unassuming Wilbur. ‘Helen Lee and Dot Bell as vivacious as ever, are back to make Phila- delphia know it. And how! Helen and Mary Selmon are making them like it at the Roadside. Dot, we think, hasn’t been placed yet. Lil- lian Mosely, as I live, is back on the stroll after months and months, and Lil looks good too. Think she don’t? Sed Stratton’s Serenaders, sans red and sans_ black blazer jackets, have restored the Road- side Hotel to old time form. Jerry Pierce is back from Wildwood, N. J. Surprised? I’m not. Where else would Jerry be but Wildwood, for it has been said that wherever Helen Penn is, there also will be Jerry, if possible. Strike me blind, if here isn’t Florence Latney. Same “Ain’t She Sweet” child. Same line of chatter, “Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.” Haven’t seen Luke Mc- Nair yet, but heard he was in from Atlantic City. Luke got his, we know. His boy friend, J. Robinson, ankled around South Philadelphia last week after commuting to the shore all summer. Jun says they didn’t break so poor. Atlantic City reports that Jun and Luke had the best go. Chas. “Chuck” Wilson is back on the stroll from Atlantic City. Dolars to doughnuts that “Chuck” will winter in Philadel- phia and “beef” about Cleveland. Willis Crumpton, the “butter and egger,” hopped in town from some- where south of Washington for a hot minute and left right away for the Dempsey-Tunney fight in Chi- cago on the 22nd. HOTEL ELRAE HOUSE PROMINENT VISITORS Miss Sadie Scott, genial propri- etress of the Hotel Elrae, 805 No. 18th street, had as her guest last week, Miss Roberta Harris, promi- nent in social circles in Washing- ton, D, C., and Miss Carrie Elmore of New Jerk, N.Y. Mise Bimere “Comeing Four” Broadcast From Strand Ballroom The “Comeing Four,” Philadel- phia’s premier Quartette, broad- casted direct trom the Strand Ball- room, Tuesday last, through Sta- tion WABQ, and pleased a large number of patrons of the Strand as well as the thousands of radio fans who listened in. In giving the Comeing Four a spot in Strand’s regular Tuesday night hour, the confidence of Mana- ger William E,. Pettus in their abil- ity was completely justified, as the two numbers selected, “I Am a Pil- grim,” and “Razor Jim,” went over with a bang. Round after round of applause greeted the singers, after each number. The personnel of the Comeing Four is as follows: John Pettus, first tenor; H. Mason, second tenor; J. Patton, first bass; FE. Lockley, or TT. Purnell, second bass; Tom Chaelers, agent, and T. Purnell, manager. Quaker City Marching Club In First Annual Sone Fest The Quaker City Marching Club of the Quaker City Lodge 720. 1.

Robinson, who wus absent on account of illness. Hon. Ed W. Henry, exalted ruler of O. V. Catto No. 20, brought the greetings ot his lodge and stressed the fact that O. V. Catto stood ready and willing at all times to cooperate with Quaker City on any and all worthy undertakings. Pride of Camden No. 83 expressed by word and action, the same spirit of co- operation. The “Comeing Four,” a local quartet, took several encores and virtually swept the audience off their feet, with their vocal abil- ity. Dr. ‘Sterling Rex, Quaker C. 720 and Dr. Edney, Q. C. 720, took an encore and several bows, with pleasing solos. Mrs. Vivian Webb sang, “The Holy City,” in a voice that was sweet and touching. After a stirring address by the Hon. John Margues, P. E. R., Quak- er City 720, the band played a re- treat and the vast audience left much impressed with the Marching Club efforts. is proprietress of the now famous Reaehbod Tea Reem tn Harlem. a ol ; a 4 (B—S3| Douglass Hotel - ; i “The Finest Colored Hotel in America” $ i BROAD and LOMBARD STREETS 3 tra | PHILADELPHIA, PA. : he T “ Where Guests Are Well Cared For § 7 in the Most Modern Manner ; Prince L.
