WHEN we said "we" we meant our folks, not ourself editorially. Carolynne Snowden is the heorine who has advanced the cause of the race by getting before the public eye in the largest sense—that is by getting on the screen before millions of movie fans. And she has played in all these productions in a little more than twelve months. MISS SNOWDEN is a native of California. She began her stage career as a dancing girl but soon outgrew her apprenticeship and began producing musical shows of her own. Finally she was engaged to stage a tab revue for Frank Sebastian's Cotton Club, a cabaret of Culver City, just across the line from Los Angeles. Once engaged, she became an institution. Her present show at the cabaret contains twenty people and a jazz orchestra of 8 pieces. Miss Snowden not only "puts on" a show. She THE INTER - STATE TATTLER builds it from the ground up. She designs her own costumes and those of her chorus girls and men. and writes her own lyrics and music. We call that talent plus. HER most conspicuous success, perhaps, is the first year. Several months ago we saw that picture and it was one of the few times when we actually laughed till we cried. Miss Snowden was the maid in the picture and when instructed in the duties on answering the doorbell, waiting on table, preparing grape fruit and serving drinks always answered with "I washes best." The continuity proved she was right, unless you are a stickler for facts, and will insist that she acts best. Either way you take it. Miss Snowden comes out on top. OUT of character, Miss Snowden, impresses one as a business woman more than an actress. She does not go in for the conventional dissipations of the movie or a stage actress. Miss Snowden neither drinks or smokes. When she has finished her night's work, she goes home and reads till she is sleepy and then goes to bed. At present she is spending a few weeks in New York, this being her first visit here. A CHURCH paper, The Young Allenite, grows tempestuous in its rage against the Bishops of the A M. E. Church. The Bishops, The Young Allenite charges, are nothing more or less than a bunch of immoral grafters. While admitting that all The Young Allenite says may be true, we are nevertheless prepared to string along with the Bishops.

TWO GREAT LEADERS TO DIRECT MUSICAL PROGRAM OF POSTOS TWO GREAT LEADERS TO DIRECT MUSICAL PROGRAM OF POSTOS Will Vodery, Back from Europe, and Fletcher Henderson of the Roseland to Vie for Honors What undoubtedly will be one of the greatest social triumphs of the hour, the annual fall reception of the fastidious Postos Club, takes place this Friday evening, October 21, at the New Manhattan Casino, 155th street and Eighth avenue. True, Postos social events have always been brilliant triumphs, but this year's affair will undoubtedly excel their glorious annual receptions of the past. Two special features will in the main be the cause of this coming, greater triumph and these two super attractions are Bill Vodery's Internationally famous Plantation Orchestra and Fletcher Henderson's popular Roseland Orchestra. Neither of the two illustrious orchestra leaders nor their orchestras need any introduction to music lovers of New York. True, Mr. Vodery has just returned from London, England, sharpened, and the social elite of the dance world are eager to pay homage to Bill Vodery and his musicians. As for Mr. Henderson and his classy Roseland Orchestra, they are too warm favorites. Never to our knowledge, has any leader or orchestra enjoyed such sustained popularity as has Mr. Henderson and his wonderful musical unit. It seems as if the dance and music lovers can never get enough of this great combination Fletcher and his Roseland players are just as popular today as they were --- MUSIC MASTER WILL VODERY ERY exponents of what Paul Whiteman the same we, in our homelier way. some four years ago, when scoring their first glorious triumph. These are the two reasons why we predict that the Postos affair of this Friday night will be such a decisive and glorious social triumph. Lucky indeed will be the folks invited, for it will be a long time before such another brilliant program of dances are to be staged. Incidently speaking of invitations, those who were fortunate to receive them, can make whatever reservations desired at Jackson's Pharmacy, 2305 Seventh avenue. The boxes are five dollars and the lodges three. Fully five thousand invitations have been mailed so all who wish to make reservations are advised to do so immediately. The new officers of the club are: John N. Wilson, president; James A. Smith, vice-president; Charles H. Wilson, secretary and Charles W. Axt, treasurer. The members include: Fred Moultrie, Will J. Truley, Arthur E. Savage, Granville Dash, James D. King, Walter O. Coleymore and James Washington. ANNOUNCEMENT has been made of the marriage of Miss Evelyn P. Allen to Mr. George H. Redding, both of this city. MRS. Hilda Offley Thompson and mother, Mrs. Frank R. Lantigua attended the special Sunday night performance of "Porgy" at the Guild Theatre as the guest of Mr. A. B. De. Comethier, a member of the cast. That Kind of a Girl Wise—"Do you care for sports?" Gal—"Yes, when I find a real one." Page 8 Page 4 As a novel, "Porgy," by Du Bose Heyward, was generally acclaimed as a sympathetically beautiful and vivid picture of Negro life along the Charleston waterfront, and one sees with a distinct feeling relief that it has lost none of its finer qualities through dramatization and transference to the stage. This is partly true because the Theatre Guild, which produces this play, is an organization supported by subscription and as such is enabled to concern itself with the dramatically artistic success of its presentation rather than with the material return. The play itself follows closely the book which as you doubtless recall, is the story of the Negro cripple, Porgy, whose bdily affliction is quite overshadowed by his spiritual might. Here is the story of Porgy's love for Crown's Bess, a love so fine that it can understand Bess's return to Crown, the bad man of Catfish Row. Porgy summons strength to accomplish the destruction of Crown, and, after the final desertion, by Bess, drag its owner into his little goat cart and leave in the general direction of New York in search of his woman. This last is a variation from the book and would be more effective if the line "She wuzz dan dead, she gone to New York," were changed because the average New Yorker would hardly concur in that opinion. But the story is not the thing which makes this play memorable. It is the skillful imaginative direction of Mr. B. Mamoulian, with his colors, rythms and groupings. All of these contribute greatly toward producing the thrilling and exciting climax, which brings the first act to a close. The curtain rises on a scene of mourning, a darkened room, a group of mourners gatherehd around the bed, on which lies the corpse of the murdered Bobbins, and at the foot of which, sits in mute grief and dispair, the widow, Serena. The mood is grief, the rythm slow. Gradually, but by distinct steps the action accelerates until at the close, relieved from fear, lest their brother have no proper burial, the entire group bursts into a frenzy of singing and gesturing, of emotional exultation, all of which is silhouetted on the walls of this forlorn room as a veritable ballet of grotesque shad- (Continued on Page 5) THE INTER - STATE TATTLER THEA BY THEOPH THEATRES THEATRICAL NOTES BILLY King will soon head a big musical comedy company entitled, "The Policy Player's Lucky Day." Mr. King will start rehearsals in a few days and has already signed up several popular stars and chorus girls. ETHEL WATERS opened her new '300 Club' last Tuesday. The vivacious comedy singer had 'em laughing and applauding wildly with her saucy mannerisms. ACCORDING to rumors emanating from the City of Brotherly Love, known as Philadelphia on the map, Irvin C. Miller is about to become a fight promoter. Not satisfied with threatening to usurp Flo Ziegfeld's honors as a producer of spectacular girl-shows, Irvin evidently is out to run Tex Rickard off the pugilistic map. GEORGE Godfrey, we are informed, has formed the new partnership with Mr. Miller and the two are framing a new musical comedy show to be named, "No Color Line." The feature musical song number entitled, "I Will Be Champ if Gene Don't Draw The Line" to be sung by Godfrey. BILLY Higgins held up two newspaper men and tried to sell 'em a ticket for an affair to be given by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Billy's spiel fell upon deaf ears as neither of the scribes had a bank book. THERESA Williams is now tripping the light fantastic toe with the stock players at the Alhambra Theatre.

While not offering the best in the line of such entertainment, it's far from being a weak contraption. Miss Smith, nationally known "Blues" singer; Hooten and Hooten, comedy team; the Taskiana Four, Scott and Smith, black face comedians; Nellie Brooks, acrobat and contortionist; Gertrude Scott, Josephine Byrd and James McPheetus, are capable entertainers. But the big feature of the Seventh avenue playhouse, is the great photo play, "What Price Glory," advertised as the greatest screen production. IRVIN MILLER'S '28 DESIRES AT LINCOLN Irvin C. Miller's spicy vehicle, "Desires of 1928." now playing at the Lincoln Theatre, is a rather pleasing offering, featuring a bevy of winsome maids, tuneful melodies and amusing comedy. The cast includes such notable entertainers as: S. T. Whitney, J. Homer Tutt, Mable Ridley, Ida Brown, Alonzo Fenderson, Theresa West, Clarence Nance, Stewart Hampton and Reginald Yorke. A FOLK PLAY (Continued from Page 4) ows, and in the foreground the figure of the bleak Serena, arms upraised to a merciful God. The cast is composed almost entirely of Negroes, those who head this company are actors of considerable experience but the majority, untrained, but it is easily seen that each individual is faithfully performing the part to which he is assigned and doing it well. Rose McClendon's portrayal of a rather unimportant part, somehow "steals the show;" Georgette Harvey as Maria, the matriarch of Catfish Row, is glorious, and Frank Wilson in the title role brings an elusive quality to it which is altogether indifinable. It you haven't time to see the whole play, go and see that one scene. It's worth twice the price of admission. ACCORDING to rumor, "Rang Tang" will pull up stakes and take to the road after this week. The company will fill an engagement in Baltimore with a second New York engagement of two or four weeks, and then will again take the road for a long tour.

I suggest a decent, respectable and God-fearing bootlegger. But you can never tell, Mr. Cullen, maybe Yo (u) -land-er. Whosoever shall be so extreme to mark what the Rev. C. A. Tindley has done amiss, will step over on that side of the room with Mrs. Alice Laurie McDonald. Rev. Tind- ley has been operating as the “Heavenly Guide” at Calvary M. E. Church, Broad street, Philadelphia, for many a Christmas. He has had a “grand go” in the words of the boys on the “downward road.” The Rev. has had a “grand jelly” uninterruptedly, as this, his record went, until a voice out of the Wilderness of Jersey cried out, “Lewer it and you won't owe it,” and it was the voice of a lady — one lady asking for “One Hundred Grand” ($100,000.) I admire a high priced mam or woman. But I think the Rev. has been over- charged for the alleged “evil that -his man had done.” Many are the igures one can think of under 100,000, but up until this writing, he sum stands unchanged. Strange eople, these “Sixty-niners.” But | here is one more passage that ould be added to the Bible very landily without the least bit of ollusion that, “Hell hath no fury ike a woman scorned,” and when he Grand Ecclesiast made a crack bout warming up to one Mrs. Jen- ie Cotton “’till like do us part,” {rs.

I shall pattern after that old Monday morning restaurant Hash, which, when pre- pared and ready to serve, was a given indication that the icebox and kitchen had been in for its proper cleaning. As for the hash, it bristles with chicken (parts un- desirable), beef, ham, lamb- and ram. It has been alleged that more fortunate patrons have found lob- sters, caviar and other rarities like hearts of palm, etc. The hash that I prepare will not be a recipe for a dish made up of all dumb animals, fowl and deep sea foods. This dish, when finished, will con- sist of the ingredients of doings. of male and female, with liberal por- tions social, economic, artistic and religious. It would make a tre- mendous dish, should I try to cover well, so broad a field, but that is not the plan and you will be served in portions similar to those handed out in a free ward of a county hospital. I choose to say that this “Hash” will be “de- formed” in the main—lest it be bowlegged from an overweight of social news, for while I am no so- cial light by any means, I find it easier to write and better liked by the “mob.” Then again, I have social inclimations (but no aspira- tions). When I say this, I mean I am inclined to things social, as — my life has been given over to - many “good times,” as one would ‘ say, and to draw me out, while I : can’t say that I have learned to eat « and like everything in civilized cookery, I am proud to admit, with- 1 out hesitancy, that I drink every- t thing in and out of civilized drink- ¢ ery.

But for one ill-gust of wind that blew him off his course, and before righting himself the Doctor sough solace in one Mrs. Lattimore, but contrary to that idiom "Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good," its force was not spent until it reached the alert and trusty ear of "Ma Pelham." The ice broke, but all were saved—no casualties in this case, and as far as I know, there was nothing to indicate any signs of violent exercise the morning Mme. Caroline Wilkins went through a few rounds in the open air with a lady who must have been in the wrong, for it is unlike the Madame to haul off without provocation, and give one that brand of drubbing unless she had been mistreated. It was modest in a sense, but with some intent—one of "those things" similar to what Miller and Lyle unloaded at the Footlights Club the night Florence Mills was being feted—only that Mr. Lyle's method of attack was as a brick coming from a dark alley, which you will agree is rather unfair tactics. I might be wrong, but I will venture in saying that Miss Mills has reached her maturity; has from her won choice, picked such persons whom she pays to "dish out" her advice—legal and spiritual. With this much taken care of, it is hard to see how the illustrious lady could go for a "bum steer." I wasn't at this "grand chow," but to my mind, the crack on Van Vechten was as inopportune as a raid would have been. Had Mr. Lyle wanted to do the big brother act, he could have "buttonholed" Miss Mills and "buzzed" her not to go for the Van Vechten "jive." Again it appears to be an instance where the "Sour Grapes" story would fit in. The author of "Nigger Heaven" has given much of time and his influence to Ethel Waters and her doings and undoings theatrical; and as far as he has gone, it has been helpful as well as constructive. His social life would either interest us or not interest us. His version of Harlem in his book will interest us or not interest us. His interest in other folks and other affairs would or would not interest us. But more sacred of any of the "woulds" or "would nots," is trying to regulate one's social habits and walks of life, for this is a very delicate undertaking. While I would walk five miles for a portion of diamond back terrapin, with a second helping of some Smithfield Ham, but there are many who would not walk to the table for either dish.

November 4th tan Casino --- THE pupil's recital can be made a thing of interest and a thing of art also when one has formulated ideas, that carry this form of presentation out of the domains of mere display of slight progress, and the duty of the instructor to show what his or her pupils are doing. There have been pupil's recital at which were presented some of the outstanding figures in the field today. Which is, perhaps the reason for a continuation of the custom. On the other hand, the pupil's recital is apt to prove a bore unless there are present some compensating elements that make up for the same old seven and six that the very young are apt to offer when face to face with that mysterious boogy boo the general public, and for the moment not hand in hand with the instructor. All of which is to the effect that pupils of Miss Thelma Bronson were presented in recital on Friday evening, October 14th, at the Elk's Auditorium. Miss Bronson's pupils show good training and much promise. The soloist of the evening in the vocal classification was Mr. James Skelton, a baritone, who has gained something of repute in these parts. THE interest in the Composer's evening, that takes place at Steinway Hall, 113 West 57th street, on this Saturday evening, the 22nd, is spreading and taking hold in many places. The array of talent is such as to interest any lover of the better type of music. Penman Lovinggood tenor, in a list of his own compositions, will offer something original and something out of the ordinary in vocal recital work. Miss Gertrude Martin will render violin classics, and Miss Sonoma Talley will play piano works and accompany the other two artists. An event to be remembered and one which all true concert-goers will take the opportunity of attending.

Her ambition was to be the first woman to make the transAtlantic trip by airplane. That is a perfectly legitimate personal ambition. It may even be a landable ambition. But it does not mean anything. It will not add anota to the science of flight. If we only do our own appliance it to Mr. Haldeman, our pilot. After it has been controlled for some 1,000 miles, we doubtly know a lot more about flying airplane and the reason of flying than we did before attempting the trip.

There is more than an accidental relationship between the sunshine of the body and the sunshine of the soil Indoor living predisposes to mental dependency and a sedentary life in many cases leads to moral depression There is a direct relation between the physical darkness of the skin tone and the spiritual darkness and moral depravity of those who dwelt therein Sunshine is the foundation of physical energy and the well spring of mental cheer and it even controls indirectly to strengthening the moral courage. Sunshine in the home favors sunshine in the soul. Sunny homes help to make sunny people happy and healthy people being in the environment of a sunny atmosphere causes such people to radiate beauty . There is a tone in their completion and a sparkle in their eye .

However I am not able to take as much punishment as the Reverend Dr. Overs of Union Baptist Church. Maybe you are not aware of the fact, but the venerable Harvey Johnson, one time pastor of Union Baptist Church is dead. He died quite some time ago. Of course, the Church had to have a new pastor, so, after examining and discarding several of the local Baptist "Bible Pounders", the Church sent out west and got a "pulpit contortionist" to try and fill Dr. Johnson's shoes, which is a hard job. As you know, the Reverend Dr. Harvey Johnson was one clean and upright man. In fact, Dr. Johnson was so on the level he wouldn't even let the church raise his salary—an unheard of move among the "dark clergy". Anyhow, Dr. Overs came, and I might mention just here that Dr. Overs is or was inclined to be kind of "tight". Right off the bat he mentioned some few things he wasn't going to stand for and some things he was going to have. Nobody talked back, so he became bolder. Last summer, it is said, that without consulting anybody but himself, he made arrangements to buy the church property located at Madison and Lafayette avenues. Here is where he ran the cup over. The Board of Alderman, or whatever they call it, which includes among others the "tight" Joe Evans, Past Grand Master of the Masons, called the parson into the office where, after much wiggling and twisting, he was finally convinced he was only a hired man and that he could either give up the Madison Avenue project, or take the "ozone". However, a few weeks ago he decided to "get" the board, but a board is hard to "get", that is, all parts of it. However, Mr. Overs tried, but to date, with the election over, the same board sits and the way it looks to me, Dr. Overs is trying to fight his way out of a job, in spite of the impending cold winter winds. I don't know why I should mention all of this church stuff to you though when I don't ever remember having heard you talk about church in my life. A cabaret, I suppose, would be more in order. By the way, speaking of cabarrets, I was over to the Club Arabia the other night, and it happen that on this particular evening Mr. C. J. Major, the big moving picture magnate—the one who drives the Wills St. Claire into the lamp posts and mail boxes was giving a party for his win-some lassie, Miss Emma Lloyd, the young lady who conquered Cornell University Summer School and the Village of Ithaca at a glance this summer past. There must have been twenty or more guests and it appeared to me an equal number of courses. The waltresses seemed to be passing something all night long, perhaps it was the "buck". When I left, Friday.

October 22, 1927 ous to Bill the party was still going on, although I didn't see much evidence of "wet" goods, other than a big pitcher that seemed to have some lemonade in it. This is the first time I knew Major went the lemonade route, but then perhaps when he is out with his girl friend he has to keep cool and composed. As a matter of fact, he didn't seem to be "himself". He wasn't "missing" like he was those nights up in New York during the Convention. Miss Emma looked very charming; she had on everything but the kitchen stove, though I did not see that "skull and bone" frat pin. Other than Major's party, there wasn't much going on, in fact, the place seems to be going to the bow wows.

Weak Back Strengthened Quickly If it hurts your back to lift a heavy object, if you have strained the back muscles, if a "cold has settled in your back," or if you suffer from lumbago, put on a Red Cross Kidney Plaster and you will get relief almost at once. It gives the support needed by the weakened, sore muscles. It provides a continuous automatic massage with every movement of the body, thus relieving congestion and stimulating circulation in the affected tissues. The medication is absorbed through the skin and goes directly to the weak, sore, lame muscles, quieting the pain, relieving the irritated nerves, and restoring the free use of the muscles. Be sure to ask for Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. At all drug stores.

He is supposed to appoint an assistant city solicitor, a member on the jail board, a man on the school board and several other lesser jobs. Some of the men mentioned for the solicitor job are: Gobert MacBeth, J. Howard Payne, Brisco and Everett Lane. As is usually the case, their right is mostly on each other.

Every situation has its humor, for instance, there is the case of Mr. Badger, the executive of the Seventeenth Ward. Mr. Barger has made it plain to the bosses that the party is either going to give him the job of district superintendent of Street Cleaners or nothing.
