Miss Thompson is one of the fascinating dancing maids of Irvin C. Miller's new "Brownskin Models of 1928." Mr. Miller, noted for his spectacular daring in the promoting of musical comedies, will again present his far famed "Brownskin Models" at the Lafayette Theatre next week. It is said that the production is bigger and the girls prettier than ever before.

Mildred and Clara Make Success of Specialty Shop
THE sister act, so long a standard feature of vaudeville, sometimes proves equally successful in the realm of business. A convenient example is the thriving costume and millinery business of Mrs. Clara Capart, and her sister, Miss Mildred Blunt. Their shop at 398 West 145th street, has the smart appearance of a Fifth avenue establishment. It is a small shop but modern in every respect. The paneled walls are done in ivory grey with a filifree of gold and rose tracing the borders, with appropriate lighting and convenient mirrors. A feature all too rare in colored business establishments is the immaculate cleanliness of the shop. Its appearance is so unusual uptown that a reporter for a daily newspaper once mistook it for a branch of some Fifth avenue firm. He was astonished when he learned it was a business conducted by colored people.
LIKE so many successful people, the sisters are from the South. Their home is in Edenton, N. C. Although the business bears the name Clara and Mildred, Mrs. Capart is the senior partner. She came to New York fifteen years ago and obtained employment as a seamstress. After hours, she studied, and soon became a fitter and later a designer. For several years she was a fitter for Madame Frances, the 57th street modiste. She worked in the same capacity for Claire, another fashionable downtown modiste. The experience she gained in those shops, as well as the connections she made, has been turned to account in her own business.
MILDRED and Clara opened their shop two years ago. Before that they were doing a profitable business in their home. The business grew too large to be conducted in a residence, however, and the shop became necessary for its further expansion. Their business is still increasing and they are now thinking of enlarging both the store and workrooms.
THE greater part of their business consists of making costumes to order but they also carry a large stock of ready-to-wear dresses which they design and manufacture themselves. They also design their own hats. Mrs. Capart says the basis of their success is the touch of originality they impart to their costumes. They keep abreast of the trend of fashion and add original variation of their own to each

It is a small aspect. The paneled walls are free of gold and rose tracing the lighting and convenient mirrors. Red business establishments is of the shop. Its appearance is better for a daily newspaper once the Fifth avenue firm. He was it was a business conducted by
garment. The effect is a note of distinction which the wearer does not see duplicated in every other costume she meets. This explains why so much of their business, indeed the greater part of it, comes from over on the Drive and down from the Heights.
THE millinery department is under Miss Blunt's management. She designs all their hats and supervises their manufacture. Not a hat in their store is a copy of a downtown model. Each one is an original idea. While the custom trade in dresses is larger than the transient business the reverse is true of the millinery department The hats sell faster in the store.
WE said just now that not a hat in their store was a copy of a downtown model. The reverse is not always true, for a considerable part of their business consists of designing models for downtown shops. It would be interesting, and perhaps no less surprising to know just how many sample hats displayed in mid-town showrooms are Mildred made.
MRS. Capart designs the dresses. Like most people who are really efficient, she is modest about her success. Certainly the volume of business she conducts is proof enough that she is proficient in her calling. Nevertheless she still considers herself a learner. This winter she intends to take a special course in designing and sketching at City College. This is the spirit of progress. It means their business will continue to expand because the women who conduct it are not inclined to sit back and glow with smug satisfaction over the success they have already achieved.

FIGHTS
pap } go editorial writers have been busy
lamenting the decadence of the American pub-
lic. It grieves them to see two brawny men
pounding each other to a pulp while a tenth of
a million spectators look cn in glee. It grieves
‘them even more to note that the fighters draw
down more money for a half hour's work than
the President of the Country receives in a
year. It seems to us that the editorial writers
are all wet. - :
WHEN two men can give a vast throng of
spectators an hour of thrilling excitement they
certainly deserve to be paid in proportion. Ia
addition. to the huge multitude who saw the
fight in the arena several millions enjoyed it
by listening in at the radio. Each one of those
who listened in wculd have been willing to pay
from fifty cents to a dollar for. the same
amount of enjoyment in a theatre or stadium.
Suppose the fighters could have collected those
millions cf halves and dollars? It is easy to
see that the amount of mcney they would have
received would have increased ten or twenty
times. Instead of the fighters collecting the
money, the radio companies and newspapers
got it. The fighters made money for them-
selves, but also made a great deal more fcr
outside business interests, including the rail-
reads, hotels, hol deg merchants and bootleg-
gers. They were not overpaid a penny. ;
* * *
TT PULLMAN Company refuses to accept
the invitation of the Mediation Board to
discuss wages and working conditions with
representatives iof the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters. This is a reactionary and hard-
boiled attitude, still we can understand and re-
spect it. The Company is determined te fight
to the last ditch to protect its interests. It
is taking advantage of every technicality offer-
ed ‘by the law and it is prepared to exert all
the brute force of its wealth and political pres-
tige. The officials of the Company are not
paying any attention to the piffle about the
interests of the Company and the interests of
the men being identical, They know that
what is good for the Company is bad for its
employees and what is good. for the employees
is bad for the Company. It is a plain case of
conflicting interests and they are doing their
level best to see that the Company comes wut
on top. We do no see how any fair-minded
person can censure them for that.
WHAT WE cannot understand is the con-
tinued protracted silence of the white Railroad
Brotherhoods, who ought to be the natural al-
lies of the porters. The only effective weapon
left in the hands of the porters riow is to
create an emergency. ‘Creating an emergency
is a euphemism for calling a strike. We have
our doubts whether the porters could win a
strike. There is only one way to win a strike
—by a concentration of fprce. The workers.
must be able to stop the machinery and to
give the traveling public efficient service but
that would. be the hard luck of Pullman pas-
sengers. In the meantime the striking porters
would miss their pay and tips. Talk of justice
to labor is all right and it gets a lot of ap-
plause but a man with installments due on the
piano is not going to remain on strike very
long.
WHILE !T is doubtful if the porters atone
could win a strike the Company will listen to
reason quickly enough if the white Brother
hoods take a sincere and manly attitude. They
have only to declare their unwillingness to
copperate with scab labor and the Pullman
Company will come down off its high horse.
We are aware that the white Brotherhoods are
not employees of the Pullman Company, and
that fact, as we see it, would make their refu-
sal to work with scab porters all the more et-
fective. The public must travel. If a union
train crew should refuse to take a Pullman car
out because it was manned with scabs all the
passengers with really important business in
hand would take passage in a day coach. The
railroad would get the money and the Pulli-
man Company would lose it. In the meantime
those scabs would be on the payroll. You can
figure the rest out for yourself.

DECLINE OF CHIVALRY
WEEK or so ago a white woman with her
A clothes mussed up hailed a Jersey motor.
ist. and told him her husband had just been
murdered and she herself had been robbed
and assaulted. Two Negroes did it, she said.
One tall and the other short. The police be-
gan to beat the bush for the Negroes as a
matter of course, but in the meantime they
checked up on other @nspicuous features of
the crime.
THEY DISCOVERED that only a woman's
dainty footprints had been made near the car
and some of the jewelry the lady had been rob-
bed of was found in nearby weeds. The “rob-
bers” had also declined to take along some
perfectly good American money their victims
had with them. Later a note addressed tu
the lady was found near the scene. Looking
at the crime in the light of these clues the
police requested the lady to remain in deten-
tion quarters as a Voluntary guest. They lock-
ed the door when they had to go out any-
where and did not give their guest the key.
Now they are considering permitting their
guest to return to her home proviae« someone
leaves $50,000 with the county authorities.
THIS UNUSUAL conduct on the part of
New Jersey police should be looked into. Ik
seems that the force must be completely de-
moralized. The lady told them two Negroes
had gommitted the crime. Instead of bending
every effort to catch the culprits they waste
time running down irrelevant clues which
might possibly incriminate some innocent
white person. What the Jersey police need
is new blood say from Waycross, Georgia, to
give them a proper idea of what chivalrous
conduct toward a white woman means, espec.
jally when she says she has been maltreated |
by two Negroes.

Billy Andrews "Nightingale Revue" Is Strenghtened By Higgins, Burns and Miss Ringgold
Billy Andrews opened at the Lafayette Theatre last Monday with his "Nightingale Revue" and too much Billy Andrews. The vehicle was greatly strengthened by the addition to the cast of principals of Billy Higgins, "Sandy" Burns and Miss Izzy Ringgold, along with Emma Jackson. Walter Crumbley and the Two Dots.
Doc Hyder and his famous band along with Clint and Marie are the outstanding features of the Andrews' vehicle. This classy musical aggregation of Hyders has made a wonderful reputation in the musical world and fully lived up to expectations.
The singing of Marie and Clint is most impressive and pleasing and they were heartily applauded last Monday evening. That supercritical Monday night audience of the Lafayette fully appreciated the work of this clever team. Andrew Tribble and Alveta create many a laugh with a smutty, suggestive dialogue, but a bad cold and hoarseness prevented Mary Strain from singing at her best.
Izzy Ringgold, Sandy Burns, Billy Higgins, Walter Crumbley, the Two Dots and Emma Jackson added considerable strength to the vehicle. They work, with the exception of Miss Ring, in several amusing bits that never fail to produce a laugh. Miss Ringgold's singing and the dancing of the ,ots are the other features of a pleasing hour and a half of entertainment.
The maids of the chorus are: Lillie Corroll, "Billie" Elmore, Mildred Williams, Elmira Clark, Maude Collins, Mary Devers, Helen Penn and Alveta Tribble.

Hall Johnson and Cecile McPherson Will Present Forty Trained Singers at New Theatre
Another step in the right direction will be made this coming Saturday evening, when Messrs. Hall Johnson and Cecile McPherson will present forty well trained singers at the new Rcxy Theatre.
For over a month these singers have been under the most rigorous training in preparation for this momentous opening and one that will mean so much. This body of singers is a mixed one, (men and women) and have been under the competent direction of Mr. Johnson, one of our ablest directors and instructors.
Mr. Mack, as Cecile McPherson is generally known, is an exceptionally talented gifted composer of lyrics. He has been associated with many musical enterprises and organizations. He is an idealist and has always sought to uplift and give his best in the musical comedy world.
The singers are divided as follows: sopranos, the Misses Margarite Avery, Helen E. Brown, Edna Barr, Maggie Carter, Enid Raphel, Mattie Harris, Ruth Waters, Gertrude Des Verney, Estelle Goode and Helen Sherill, altos, the Misses "Willie" Mays. Charlotte Junius, Ruby Green, Louise Dean, Viola Simmons, Bertha Logan.
The male singers are: tenors, John Warner; Robert Elton, Morris Nelson. Samuel Minor, Russell Stewart; Gus Simmons, Arthur Porter and A. L. Dean; bass, Benjamin Ragsdale, Vincent Gulliver, Claude Lawson, John T. Ricks, Richard Brown, George McClean, E. J. Coleman, Jr., and Cocile McNair.

Professor Charles H. Anderson welcomed a host of old and new friends at the re-opening of the popular old dance rendezvous, the Renaissance Ballroom, last Saturday evening.
'Twas some opening, and conclusively proved that the genial old dancing master lost little, if any of his former popularity. Yes, Professor Charles H. was in all his pristine glory and his genial smile and hearty handshake brought back memories of the golden past.
There's no doubt about it, the Renaissance Ballroom is again back on the amusement map and the glory and credit for reviving interest in this once popular dance center, can be tendered the one and only, Charles H. Anderson. In addition to the two spirited bands that furnished the jazz melodies, the guests of the old histrionic institution were entertained by a spicy vaudeville program.
"Flea" Gray and Rudolph Royster, of the Capitol, sang and danced, the Georgetta Harvey's "Runnin' Wild Quartette" rendered popular selections and little Anise Boyer, juvenile stepper, toe-danced and gave her interpretation of the "Black Bottom."
MR. and Mrs. Anthony Bagley have returned to their home in Sheepshead Bay, L. I., after touring Europe since last October.

THE INTER - STATE TATTLER
Popular Musical Comedy Entertainer Returns From European Triumphs on the Ile de France
Smilling her happiness, Miss Florence Mills stepped from the gangplank of the Ile de France on the arm of her husband, U. S. Thompson, to place a dainty foot on Father Knickerbocker's terrain, late Tuesday afternoon and was greeted by a host of admirers in various walks of life.
It was indeed a signal triumph, due to her winsome disposition as well as to her remarkable ability as an artist. It was a triumph all the more pleasing because of her success in Europe following the glorious successes she had previously achieved here prior to her European invasion of last year. This was her crowing victory, which left her supreme in the hearts of her own people, and certainly little Flo Mills was very, very happy.
A host of well wishers were on hand, including her mother, and sister, who were the first to greet and kiss her. Then there was a small army of theatrical folks, including Flournoy Miller, Audbrey Lyles, Glenn and Jenkins, Evelyn Preer, Irvin C. Miller, Ubie Blake, Eddie Thompson, Bob Slater, Harold Douglass, Louise Schooler, Pauline Jackson, Dust McClain, Dr. Lewis, Mrs. Kinkaid, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Morse, Frank Ellis, Edwin Smalls, Jimmy Sampson, "Dixie" Bonds, Jimmy Ashe, the Hubbard sisters, Billy Pierce and scores of others, too numerous to mention.
There were fully sixty cars and many more taxicabs, which conveyed this welcoming army down to the French line's steamship pier and then back to Harlem. The machines were gayly decorated with bunting and flowers with "Welcome Home" signs in big letters, hung at every place possible.
Miss Mills and her husband, though both were very tired, readily granted an interview to the newspapermen. Other than tender her appreciation and sincere thanks
to her host of admirers for the spirited reception and her happiness in again being home with her relatives and friends, she had little to say. She was non-committal as

"SUCCESS," that word means so much to us all whether we are hugging the delusive fanthom of hope or whether we are reclining upon the flowery beds of case, is a magic word. It has called forth volumes from the more prosperous, who have reached an approximate height to which fancy had led them, and much of rumination from those who have not yet arrived.
ALBERT Einstein in discovering the principle of Relativity has thrown light upon many other subjects, and one of these many subjects is the one of success. Success is relative. One can be said to have succeeded when he determines to put an end to existence, and does so without interruption. He has succeeded in his purpose. Aside from the issue of a worthiness of purpose, there is the hard and plain fact of one's having done the thing that he set out to do.
Rationally of course decrees that one's purpose shall be high and worthy. Here again we face a series of relative issues. Whether one's purpose is high or low, is determined by the angle at which the individual views the issues of life. One man might consider it worthy of his life to jump off the bridge at Niagara, and the world at large will perhaps not view an act of this kind as completely insane, particularly if the person succeeded in getting away with his life, after such a struggle.
People whose aim is more constructive will hold out a number of rules by which a young man can succeed in life, and will assure him that by following these rules there will be ample cause for rejoicing on the part of the individual. Benjamin Franklin wrote volumes to this effect, notwithstanding the fact that in more than one way Dr. Franklin's life was not what his volumes urged. In fact it was only after coming into a knowledge of the real Dr. Franklin that I personally became especially interested in him. I could never follow the laws of "Poor Richard" with a good grace. And in this connection it may be said that mankind no matter how it may hold up a standard of conduct will have a bit of leniency in its heart for even the standard bearer.
With regard to more material success, and here Dr. Franklin

was most at home. It can be said that a young man with talent and vision need have no uneasiness, for it is a rule of life that one succeeded materially always after a long struggle through the early part of one's life, after which one begins to get his hands on things. In other words life is a development; an accumulation. It does not seem strange in any other process. That a structure of great magnitude must be built gradually and firmly doesn't seem strange to any one, but when a young man does not reach the heights to which they aspire in a year or two then most of the world wonders.
Consider most of the heads of large institutions; financial and otherwise, and see that most of these men or women are past fifty. It seems quite natural for this to be so. Earlier than this, one has not seen and known the things that one must see and know to fill the requirements of such a task. Of course, there are notable exceptions, but it is well known that exceptions only prove rules, and without an exception your rule would hardly be noticed.
So that one needs to be a bit of a philosopher through life; and above all one needs to know that it is true that "all things come to him who waits" particularly if during the time of waiting one is working steadily toward his goal. Success is a relative term, and perseverance is its vehicle.

THE firm of Miller and Lyles can beat the world discovering talent. To stop all argument on the point before it begins, we have only to mention their discovery of Florence Mills. In "Rang Tang," their current production, they have flashed another "find." Their latest discovery is Josephine Hall, a young woman who, our prophetic soul tells us, is destined to rise to a paramount place in the theater.
SINCE "Rang Tang" began its prosperous run at the Royale it has moved to the Majestic to accommodate larger audiences we have discussed the show with no less than twenty people. We do not recall a single person who did not either declare or admit that the most impressive feature of the show is the scene called "The Shores of Africa." To find twenty people, representing as many various temperaments, agreeing on anything is a rare phenomenon. The virtual unanimity of opinions regarding the "Shores of Africa" scene means it is far and away the outstanding feature of the show.

PERSONALLY we are even more enthusiastic than the average person who has seen the revue. We love the theatre. Barring the time during which we were in Uncle Sam's army, scarcely a week has passed when we did not attend some kind of theatrical performance since we were fourteen years old and that has been a heck of a long time. During the past five years we have been an active reviewer. During that time practically every show that has passed through Harlem passed under our eye. We are not a stranger to the Follies and the Scandals. Combing our experience of both white and colored shows we say without reservation that the "Shores of Africa" scene is the most impressive thing we have ever seen on the musical show stage.
AN assertion like that cannot be dogmatic. The reader has a right to ask why. Our answer is a description and an analysis of the scene. Visually, the scene is a motion picture. The stage and auditorium are darkened while a

ACCORDING to conventional Western notions an African in native dress is not a beautiful creature. As every patron of the movies knows the appearance of a native in a picture is the signal for general laughter to begin. The chances are about even, that if the scene were shown in silence half the audience would regard it as highly comical. If it were shown to the accompaniment of lively jazz it would be a sure fire laugh producer. To preserve the intrinsic poetry of the scene, which hovers so perilously close to the grotesque, it is imperative to keep the audience in a propitious emotional state. Miss Hall accomplishes that difficult task. Her full, rich voice is ideally attuned to the sensuous beauty of the scene and she handles it with the skill of a

veteran of the stage.
STIILL she is not a veteran. "Rang Tang" is the first show in which she has ever appeared. Prior to the time when Mr. Lyles induced her to join the company her work had been confined to church recitals and singing in movie houses. She had never entertained the idea of a career on the stage. Even now, after a so auspicious start, she is uncertain that she wants to remain in the profession.
MISS HALL, a young woman in the early twenties, is a resident of Chicago. She calls that city home, and one of the reasons why she is reluctant to embark on a stage career is because it will interfere

with her home life. In the usual meaning of the word she is not ambitious. She knows she has a good voice and she thinks well of it, but she does not dream of a career of conquest in either the theatre or concert hall. Her ambition is to develop her voice to the highest perfection it is capable of reaching. That is the ideal attitude of the artist

CLUB EBONY OPENS
With the opening of the Club Ebony, Wednesday evening, October 5, at 5 West 129th street, Harlem's smart set will have the last word in ritzy cabaret playhouses. Gardner Pinkett and Lloyd Thomas, at their swank new club, will bring forth entertainment that will lead the imagination from Africa to Van Vechten's Heaven and into the wide open spaces.
Mac Rae and his Ten Ebony Stompers will furnish the music, and a bunch of hot entertainers will sing and dance and shake that thing. The cuisine will be unsurpassed and there will be the best brownskin service. Don't tell me you can beat that. Aaron Douglas has put in some unusual decorations, believe me.
All in all, it sounds too good to be true. But whether you believe it or not—oh, well, come see for yourself. For reservations phone Harlem 4792.
MRS. G. Lamb, of 2201 7th avenue, was an ideal hostess, Friday evening, when she so delightfully entertained with a midnight luncheon in honor of Miss B. Brown, of Los Angeles, Cal., and Mr. Theo.

Young Mr. Robinson is an eccentric dancer, which with his utmost ambition we hope soon to have another Broadway star.

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel L. Haskins, of 30 Bradhurst avenue, entertained Mrs. C. N. Lester, of Buffalo, and Mme. E. Petiona Buckley, of 161 West 140th street, on Thursday evening last. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Lamos, Mr. and Mrs. Virginaus Ryan, Mrs. Gertrude Boystrie, Mr. Richard Granton and Mr. Robert Reed. All enjoyed a pleasant evening.

I visited Kinney Hall Night Club Saturday, to review Ervin Gilmore's new "Black Bottom Revue," and I must say that it is the best revue ever seen in a night club in Newark. It is composed of the following stars: The irresistible Sis Quanders, leading lady: Bobby Coles, Goldie Blue, Ola Wright and Manie Miller, also those two clever buck and wing dancing boys, the Two Lawrences, Miller and Darden. The revue was written and produced by the one and only Ervin Gilmore, formerly of Atlantic City. Much credit must be given to Mike Mazzie, proprietor of the Kinney
Hall Night Club for his lavish spending qualities which were very much in evidence by the costumes worn by the members of the revue. So take a tip from me, if you want your money's worth of enjoyment, come to Kinney Hall's and be entertained by those spectacular entertainers.—Broadway Jones. *** The loving Miss Louise, of Maryland, had better watch her P's and Q's.

FORBIDDEN PLEASURES
Just like Adam and Eve were punished for eating forbidden fruit, so do a vast number of men and women, both young and old, suffer today because they lack strength. Dissipation has weakened many so they can no longer withstand the slightest exertion—others were born weak and have never known how to build their bodies so they could take advantage of the many pleasures they seek. There is no excuse for anyone crying for health, and strength—everyone can enjoy life—

Among the guests of the evening were the Misses Maryjorie Kingsland, Helen Washington, Thelma McAllister, Irene Vanderzee, and Patsy Jefferies, also Messrs.

Mrs. J. T. Spennie, the superintendent, presided. A musical program was rendered by the young people's quartet, namely: Luther Wilson, Thomas Seay, Arthur Crier and Marshall Brown, accompanied by Miss Pauline Smith at the piano. The most interesting feature was an address on "The Need for a Sunday School" by Mr. Foster Godbold, superintendent of the Hudson River District of the Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church. Many helpful ideas were emphasized. Mr. Curties Ruth, one of the enterprising young men of our city and also an officer of the A. M. E. Zion Sunday School, brought credit to himself and school as he addressed the audience on the subject, "Value of the Sunday School in the Community." The closing remarks were made by the pastor, Rev. S. W. Smith. The school extended a vote of thanks to both of these men. *** Mrs. Candace Fletcher, of 11 Morgan street, who is of the first district of the seventh ward, wishes to thank all of her constituents for their most loyal support in the recent primary contest as a Republican County Committeewoman. *** On last Sunday Mrs. Ella King and Mr. Paul Thomas gave a yachting party.

That helps me out a lot. I have always wanted Booker for a brother-in-law. *** Reaster either knows something or I am easy to fool. From what I see, he surely has M. S. crazy over him. This fact was brough to light Friday night. *** Thomas Wotkins hangs out on the hill now.
