We feel sure this affection meant more. to Miss Mill she received at the formal reception HEADLINES and TABLE TALK FLO OWES US SOMETHING WHEN Florence Mills returned home after a long and successful stay in Europe the masses of Harlem turned out and gave her a rousing ovation. The impressive feature of her welcome home was its spontaneousness. It was not a formal demonstration inspired by a reception committee working overtime to stir up artificial enthusiasm. It was a sincere and natural tribute to the woman all of us regard as a national (race) heroine. We feel sure this unprompted overflow of the people's affection meant more to Miss Mills than the post prandial encomiums she received at the formal receptions held in her honor. THE masses love Miss Mills. More, they adore her. It is not too much to say that some of us even worship her, for it is only a step from the pedestal of a heroine to the immortality of a goddess. People always expect good gifts from divinity. That is why we address Jehovah as "Our Heavenly Father"—because a father provides for his children. It is the duty and privilege of divinity to dispense gifts. It is Miss Mills' duty to give the people the one great gift within her power. THE people want a national, or, if you please, a race drama. They are not asking Miss Mills for it in plain words. In fact most of them do not even know they want it. Neither did they know they were craving Miss Mills' superb acting talent before she revealed it to them. It is the business of genius to know what the people want before they know it themselves. Miss Mills can do more they anyone else to satisfy the latent, unexpressed hunger for race drama. To do what she can will be merely to pay the debt genius inevitably owes humanity. Miss Mills may easily evade her responsibility. If she undertakes to perform the task she will not increase her popularity, 'for it is not probable that this generation can admire her her any more than it does now. But, helping to establish a real Negro theatre and a genuine race drama will win her a warmer place in the hearts of posterity and more pages in the strangest of all books--history. DR. M. R. GUENZEL, president of the Glengarry Mining Company, left the city a few days ago for a periodical inspection of the company's mines, located near Miles City, Montana. Before leaving, Dr. Guenzel stated that a really systematic work to develop the known veins of ore on the properties is being vigorously pursued and the production of both gold and copper will soon be appreciable. Many colored investors, among them Dean Pickens, have purchased stock in the Glengarry Company, and the directors of the Company have announced that shortly at least one colored member will be elected to the Board.

LOUIS MARSHALL, member of the National Legal Committee and of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is to prepare a reply brief to be filed in the State Supreme Court of Florida, challenging the State's right to execute Abe Washington, a colored man, on the ground that deliberate wilful exclusion of colored people from jury service violates the 14th Amendment to the Constitution and renders the conviction void. THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, announces receipt of a telegram from Attorney R. L. Baile, reporting that Gov. Ed.

To Commemorate Birthday Event In Seventh Avenue’s Gala Nite Life Amusement Center. They'll celebrate the second anniversary of Ed Smalls’ Par- -adise Club beginning Monday night, October 17, and continu- ing through the entire week. What a week it will be—and how! Something new and different each night for the en- tire week. Not satisfied with the novel innovation of pre- senting two shows nightly, entirely different, the managers plan distinctive, spectacular features for every night of the moanctear gala ralohiatinn monster, gala celeoration. A Tattler representative called upon Mr. Smalls and his aggres- sive aides, Messrs. Jim Ashe, Jim- my Sampson and Frank Scott, and the first thing they said after hearty greetings were: “Please con- vey our thanks to the public for the splendid support accorded us during the past lwo years. It has always been our idea to please in every way possible and we feel highly grateful toward all of our friends for the way in which our efforts have been met by the night life amusement lovers.” There is no question as to the .Paradise’s pepularity among recre- ation lovers. Night after night the palacial institution is crowded with as merry a_throng as will be found anywhere in the world. As one patron so aptly said: “See Broad- way in Harlem at Small’s Paradise and know what a good time reall; is.” And there’s a reason, a big rea- son why the Paradise is so popular. Here they try in every way to please. Here the visitor gets ths full value and then some more for his money. And here the atmos- phere is just charged with “IT,” that magnetic influence which has a great deal to de with the much desired “Thrill.” Here’s where you'll get it. So we'll expect to meet you at the Paradise, every night nexi , week. In fact, that will be the sa- | lutation for the next 10 days; ‘Mee? Me At The Paradise To-Night,” and 1e who misses attending one of the { uuniversary events next week, will 1 niss the treat of a life-time. You ¢ nay miss Heaven, but you don’t | lave to die to go to the Paradise. Charlie Johnson and his famous i Paradise Ten, will furnish the mus- c, and how these jazz-masters can S$ Jay. Then there'll be the spectac: t lar revue changing twice nightly. c The first show goes on at 12 mid- i ight and the second, entirely dif- 0 erent, at 2 a. 12. In addition to 9 his, there’ll be individual enter- aining by some of the best known 0° lub artists in America. t WHAT with the Misses Vi Mc- Coy, Alto Oates, “Blondina” Stern, “Jazzbo” Hilliard, “Atta” Blake, Dewey Brown, Duckette and Con- way, Smalls’ Paradise is just too bad. Then there’s that aggregation of Dancing Waiters, which makes the Paradise Just Too Terrific. No wonder it’s packed to capacity night: after night.

GLENGARRY COMPANY TO HAVE A NEGRO DIRECTOR Much interest has been createc | among race people through a rising declaration of the Glengarry Com. pany’s president that at least one colored person would be named for the directory board within the course of the next few months. It has been authoritively stated that the Glengarry Mining Com- pany is of unquestionable sound- ness and that the branch office of the said company, located at 2350 Seventh avenue, will readily furnish upon request, references coming from some of America’s largest fi- nancial institutions as well as ref- erences and indorsements given by mining experts who are ranking employees in the government serv- ice. In Montana, one of the strictest states for incorporating companies, this company was organized. Its capitalization is $1,500,000. Prom- inent colored as well as white fi- nanciers have already purchased 90 per cent of the shares of stock offered, leaving the small allotment of 50,000 shares to be sold. Among those in and about Harlem’s com- munity who have purchased or have become identified with Glen- garry Mining interest are: Dean Wiliam Pickens, S. A. Crone, vice- president of the Vanderbilt Rail- road and president of the Buffalo Brake and Beam Co.; Reinhard Siedenburg, Jr.. Fred Fleitmann, C. Schniewind,.

There's snap and lots of pep plus some amusing comedy by Gallie De Gaston, assisted by Albert Jackson. Miss Gertrude Saunders and Gallie are the two big features of the offering and their work is very pleasing. Miss Saunders' singing and vivacious ways and De Gaston's comedy chatter and mannerisms registered high with the first nighters. Precey Colston, Marion Bradford and George Randol, all contributed in a large measure to the success of the entertainment. Colston's singing is one of the most pleasing features of the show. GALE COMPANY MOVES TO NEW YORK CITY The Beresford Gale Corporation has moved its general offices from Philadelphia to New York and is not occupying a suite at 2143 Seventh avenue. The transfer of offices was made imperative, an official of the company said, because the operation of large silica deposits in Northern New Jersey, which the company owns, require almost constant supervision, owing to an increase in business. Mr. Beresford Gale, who is well known in Philadelphia, both in business and social circles as a business man and financier, was well pleased with the outlook of the project which promises to be one of the largest in the section. It is conservatively estimated that the large acreage owned by the corporation, will yield over a million tons of the precious ore, and contracts have been already signed covering a period of fifteen years. Beside the foregoing, Mr. Gale intends to enlarge his various operations in the big city and an army of men are now being prepared for future work. SAVE Money and Time WHERE?

Exhibit A—He claims that while he was in Orlando one day he saw a doctor cut open a woman, remove everything—liver, lights and heart included—clean each of them separately; the doctor then washed out the empty woman, dried her out neatly with a towel and replaced the organs so expertly that she was up and about her work in a couple of weeks.

Homer used to read to his private audiences, and at times this entertainment became something of a public nature: Poets and persons who have an artistic message must have somewhat ideal surroundings in which to set their vocal, poetic or other gems of art. This craving of the public, (that is the art-loving public) is the principal reason for the entertainment known as the Recital of arts work. THE artist among us has a special field. He appeals to a special element. His offering is measured and atuned to the response of the element among us who are atuned to the higher spiritual values. The fact that the calendar of musical, and other artistic programs is becoming more and more complete and in some places even crowded is the one proof that the taste of the public in general and of the music-lovers in particular is being raised to a higher level. HAVING as a part of our work the duty of attending and measuring many of the programs offered in New York, we can speak knowingly of the later standard. THE composer's evening is always a unique one. Here are to be found original things, done individually, and with the touch of the native originality that goes so far toward making a program interesting. Which is by the wal of saying that on Saturday evening. October 22nd, there will be offered in the beautiful Steinway Hall, a complete program of original numbers, with classic instrumental gems interspersed. Penman Lovinggood, the well-known tenor and composer, will sing ten of his own compositions and arrangements, and Miss Gertrude Martin, daughter of the late David I. Martin, will play classic violin music. Miss Talley, graduate of the Institute of Musical Arts, will play the B-minor Scherzo of Chopin and render her charming accompaniments for the other performers. THE afternoon of October 5 was a large occasion for Mrs. Hattie M. Calvin, of Chow, Ark. She sat in front of the loud speaker of a neighborhood radio and listened to a lecture on "Some Notable Negro Men." The man giving the lecture was Floyd J. Calvin, her eldest son. Not so many years ago, less than ten in fact, his daily occupation was breaking the stubborn soil of Arkansas with a plough. Like so many young men, he left the old home in the sticks to seek, as the saying goes, fame and fortune in the city. His voice coming back over a thousand miles of ether proclaimed to the most interested person in the world that he is making good. There isn't another in Arkansas, Mrs. Calvin would willingly change places with. MRS. Calvin, after the manner of mothers, is prone to exaggerate the importance of her son.

This craving of the pub (public) is the principal reason for the Recital of arts work. ity. Mr. Calvin is feature editor of The Pittsburgh Courier. If you take a blue pencil and cross out the copy he is responsible for you will find there is hardly anything left in the paper except what you will find in any other Negro paper, barring the intelligent editorials. Mr. Calvin's contributions are what give the news columns of the paper distinction. He is one of the few Negro newspaper men who have advanced out of the stone age conception of journalism. He has discovered that there are people who can understand words of more than one syllable and if you make a paper interesting enough they will buy it. He has also discovered that intelligent people are quite as much interested in the thought of the best minds of the race as they are in the crimes of the worst. Somehow, he has found out that writers do not live on air and he entertains the radical notion of paying them for what they write. For these and several other reasons practically every old school "journalist" in New York is his enemy. MR. Calvin does not worry much about what old school journalists think of him. A genial six-footer, with the physique and energy of a heavyweight prize fighter, he takes things easy and deflects criticism with a smile. Perhaps his good nature is the result of an easy conscience quite as much as the knowledge of his superiority in his profession. Negro journalists, as a body, are as picaresque a crew as you will find anywhere outside of jail, Congress or the trustee board of the First Baptist Church. Mr. Calvin does not run true to the breed. His journalistic ethics reveal that, although he comes from Arkansas, he was brought up in a civilized environment. In private life, he is a conventional husband and father, boasting of the felicity of his home life instead of the number and variety of his extramatrimonial conquests. He reminds one of a swan in a flock of buzzards, but somehow holding his integrity and keeping himself spotless. --- THE INTER - STATE TATTLER ART and as a means of endar of a Metro- private audiences, nthing of a pub- artistic message which to set their aving of the pub- nincipal reason for arts work.

MILLER, Mining Engineer, and former superintendent of the Republic Mine at Cooke, said: "I was very much surprised at the amount of high grade ore exposed on the surface and in the tunnels and shafts on the Glengarry, and, without a doubt, it is the finest showing, considering the amount of development work, that I have seen in all my experience in mining." MR. V. D. WILLIAMSON, Mining Engineer, Chief Geologist of the Sinclair Oil Company: "Enough development work has been done to prove ore deposits that fully justifies the optimism in the camp; the present main working tunnel on the Glengarry property will develop the two known ore bodies at a considerable depth, and, in his opinion, based on a study of surface indications, the outlook for the Glengarry Company as one of the world's largest producers was splendid." 3,400 Feet of Underground Work Done; 250,000 Tons of Extraordinary High-Grade Platinum, Gold, Silver and Copper Ore, Representing Approximately $12,000,000, Are in Sight and Blocked Out, Which Eliminates All Risks.

Tony Roberts is the pleading woman. She just loves to ask for things. Her husband gives her all he can make and scrape, which is considerably more than most wives get for their housekeeping, but she goes from door to door begging for things. She starts at the store. "Mist' Clarke," she sing-songs in a high keening voice, "gimme lil' piece uh meat tuh boil a pot uh greens wid. Lawd knows me an' mah chillen is So hongry! Hits uh Shame! Tony don't fee-ee-eee-ed me! Mr. Clarke knows that she has money and that her larder is well stocked, for Tony Roberts is the best provider on his list. But her keening annoys him and he arises heavily. The pleader at this shows all the joy of a starving man being seated at a feast. "Thass right Mist' Clarke. De Lawd loveth de cheerful giver. Gimme jes'·a lil' piece 'bout dis big (indicating the width of her hand) an' de Lawd'll bless yuh." She follows this angel-on-earth and superintends the cutting, crying out in pain when he refuses to move the knife over just a teeny bit mo.' Finally, meat in hand, she departs, remarking on the meanness of some people who give a piece of salt meat only two-fingers wide when they were plainly asked for a hand-wide piece. Clarke puts it down to Tony's account and resumes his reading. With the slab of salt pork as a foundation, she visits various homes until she has collected all she wants for the day. At the Pierson's, for instance: "Sister Pierson, plee-ee-ease gimme uh han'ful uh collard greens fuh me an' mah po' chillen! 'Deed me an' mah chillen is So hongry. Tony doan fee-ee-eed me! Mrs. Pierson picks a bunch of greens for her, but she springs away from them as if they were poison. "Lawd a mussy, Mis' Pierson, you ain't gonna gimme dat lil' eye-full uh greens fuh me an' mah chillen, is you? Don't be so graspin'; Gawd won't bless yuh. Gimme uh han'full mo.' Lawd, some folks is got everything, an' theys jes' as gripin' an stingy. Mrs. Pierson raises the ante and the pleading woman moves on to the next place, and on and on. The next day, it commences all over. JIM Merchant is always in good humor—even with his wife. He says he fell in love with her at first sight. That was some years ago. She has had all her teeth pulled out, but they still get along splendidly. He says the first time he called he found out that she was subject to fits. This didn't cool his love, however. She had several in his presence. One Sunday, while he was there, she had one, and her mother tried to give her a dose of turpentine to stop it. Accidently, she spilled it in her eye and it cured her. She never had another fit, so they got married and have kept each other in good humor ever since. BECKY Moore has eleven children of assorted colors and sizes. She had never been married, but that is not her fault. She has never stopped any of the fathers of her children from proposing, so if she has no father for her children it's not her fault. The men 'round about are entirely to blame. The other mothers of the town are afraid that it is catching. They won't let their children play with hers. SYKES JONES' family all shoot craps. The most interesting member of the family—also fond of bones, but of another kind—is Tippy, the Jones' dog. He is so thin, that it amazes one that he lives at all. He sneaks into village kitchens if the housewives are careless about the doors and steals meats, even off the stoves. He also sucks eggs. For these offenses he has been sentenced to death dozens of times and the sentences executed upon him, only they didn't work. He has been fed bluestone, strychnine, nux vomica, even an entire Peruna bottle beaten up. It didn't fatten him, but it didn't kill him. So Eatonville has resigned itself to the plague of Tippy, reflecting that it has erred in certain matters and is being chastened. In spite of all the attempts upon his life, Tippy is still willing to be friendly with anyone who will let him.

Friday, October 14, 1927 AL and Val, formerly of "Rang Tang," want to know why the girls of the show were so jealous of them? Is it because they are so beautiful and have so many admirers? Al and Val say, "feuy, fuey, a slap on the wrist for these jealous Rang Tang cats." LOOK out, girls, for the Spencer sisters, Edith and Ruth, are back in town. They motored in from Chicago, arriving here late Thursday night. It was some trip, requiring five days as they stopped over at Youngstown, and Pittsburgh, for the first game of the World's Series, and Wednesday dropped in to pay their respects to Calvin Collidge in Washington. Well, watch business pick up. These beautiful queens have an irresistible way all their own. THAT revue at Edwin Smalls' Paradise is just too bad.

It cannot be denied that beauty culture is one of the most distinguished of professions. The Beautytician, (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 throut out 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, alry and conspicuously 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 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 135th street, Room 116. Edgecombe 9860. —Advertisement. THE INTER--STATE TATTLER Says Business Should Combine, Howard Official Advises—Small Units "ONE hundred small, sickly business enterprises have practically no potential value as over against the amalgamation of such a group into ten, or fewer, militant business enterprises, backed by ample capital and named by efficient men and women." So says Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, in an article entitled: "The Day of the Financial Merger," which appears in the October number of The Messenger, a Negro magazine published in New York City, and which is publishing a series of articles on Negro business. AFTER reviewing the numerous amalgamations and mergers of prominent firms and companies in the general business world in late years, and writing enthusiastically of several of the Negro insurance companies, and the great economies and advantages that would accrue from amalgamation, he says, "If a scientific study were devoted to this subject of the merger of Colored Life Insurance Companies as well as the consolidation of the strongest banking institutions which the race at present maintains and controls, there would be brought into being a tremendously large life insurance company, destined to take its place with the New York Life, the Equitable Assurance, the Prudential Life and the great Metropolitan Life Insurance Companies. What this would mean to the race is calculable. In the first place, it would mean a program of intensive advertising which would redound to the benefit of the Negro press which at present is the medium through which most of our affairs reach the Negro public. I CANNOT believe that Negro business institutions have given much scientific study to the value of advertising. To speak of Negro business as "over-advertising," is to indicate something which simply does not exist. Budgets for advertising in our business programs are as a rule the least of our calculations and what is needed more than ever is a union of business institutions, seeking to reach the Negro public through the Negro press. ELIMINATION, consolidation, cooperation, these three, should be at this time watchwords in the world of Negro business. --- ADVISE BUSINESS Phone Audubon 3365 2311 SEVENTH AVENUE Between 135th and 136th Streets Bob Harvey, James Tolbert, Lee Stokes, Felix Rodriguez and George Motto THE OWL RESTAURANT 54 Arlington Street The Best Place to Eat Home Cooking - Never Closed Mrs. N.
