But such a tide as, moving, seems asleep. Too deep for sound or foam, When that which came from out the boundless deep Turns again home. —Tennyson. I CANNOT think of the death of Florence Mills as a tragedy. That it was tragic to her relatives and friends is a truth so obvious as to reduce assertion almost to an absurdity, and the grief of the public is as intense as its love was deep. But in the strict meaning of the word—the blighting of a career or the frustration of achievement—her death was the glorious opposite of tragic. One naturally wishes she could have been spared the suffering of her last days. It seems inevitable, however, that we must go out of this world as we come into it—in pain. Any mortal remembering how abundantly she had given happiness to the world, would have spared her those last hours of pain, and many would have borne it in her stead. But the rulers of human destiny are no respectors of persons. They decreed that she should ascend Golgotha herself, and alone. She bore their sentence bravely, and that was not tragedy, but sacrifice. FLORENCE MILLS was not a stranger to sacrifice. Throughout her career it was habitual with her to think of herself second, always considering the interests of others ahead of her own. For a lengthy period prior to her last illness, she had known that she needed a rest and the services of a surgeon. But there were friends who had invested heavily in her popularity and the security of those investments depended on her remaining at the post of duty. She remained there. More, there were the thousands who hungered for the happiness her art alone could give them. She would not disappoint them. More still, there were the interests of her race. She always regarded herself as our envoy to the world at large and she was probably the best one we ever had. The world must be shown not only that we can produce genius, but that we also possess dependability, stamina and courage. Florence Mills showed it. WHEN she at last turned contracts ever to another capable actress and came home for the medical attention she had needed so long, she found her closest relative ill and to avoid her a shock, Miss Mills bravely concealed her own illness. Again she postponed the treatment she needed and when she was finally warned that any further delay would be fatal, she would not let her mother know she was about to enter a hospital. Thus the interests of relatives, race and financial backers and the pleasure of the public were ever considered ahead of her own desires and welfare. The good shepherdess gave her life for the sheep. THIS, I say, is not tragedy, but sacrifice. All during her career she had preferred to spare others and spend herself. At the end she gave all. She would have had it no other way. Her final willing sacrifice of herself was merely the last gesture of the innate generosity of her being. Only a few hours before her death, it is said, she sang a song to cheer a worried visitor. She was the comedienne, the joy dispenser, to the very end. No doubt she was comforted by the knowledge that not an early death but an empty life is the stuff of tragedy. Her death, as Nietzshe would have it, came at the ideal time—in the full flush of victory. She was not to become the victim of advancing years which inevitably bring the decline of talent and power and the waning of popularity after the way of a forgetful world. She died with the world at her feet. The bitter cup was not forced upon her; but, like the Saviour, she chose to drain it. Because her death, like His, was the final fulfillment of a life dedicated to increasing human happiness, it becomes an episode of glorious comedy. IT IS hard for us to think of her passing in the light of comedy just now. We who worshipped her are too deeply moved by the immediate loss of her genius. Still we have only to scan the ranks of her profession to be appalled by the spectacle of numerous dead men and women who are not dead. It would be indelicate, on this occasion, to mention names. But all of us know of at least one formerly (Continued on Page 3.)

And So Adieu-Thousands Pay Tribute to Blackbird --- Friday, November 11, 1927 MID the tears of five thousand mourners the last rites were performed Sunday over the remains of our Beloved Florence Mills. It was said at the bier of Julius Caesar that none were so poor as to do him homage, but for the petite "Blackbird" none were too high to grieve at her passing. Nestled is the soft folds of her ten thousand dollar bronze casket and covered with a blanket of roses, she slept like a little girl who had grown weary of play. And a sigh went around the world and beat upon the gates of heaven. As she lay in state in H. Adolph Howell's chapel, a never ending line of people passed and repassed for a final look at their heroine. Never a day so cold or so rainy that it could keep them from this last gesture of love and respect. Their tears were as unstinted as their applause had been. BY Sunday noon 200 police had to be called out to cope with the thousands of spectators who had congregated around. A M. E. Zion Church in 137th street. One thousand cars had been issued to personal friends of the family that they might be assured admission to the services, but by one o'clock it was almost impossible to get within blocks of the church, and hundreds of friends were unable to enter. They joined the throngs that lined the Avenue for blocks and patiently waited for the long procession. AT the head walked Snow Fisher and two policemen, followed by the Monarch band and lodge, the E Flat Club, the C. V. B. A., and nine carriages of flowers. Next came the flower girls—Bertha Weinglass, Lillian Powell, Adelaide Hall, Evelyn Sheppard, Fannie Powell, Hayacinth Curtis, Mae Fanning, Rose Singleton, Billie Cain, Zelma Davis, Tessie Worth, Vivian Harris, Pearl McCormic, Marion Tay lor, Ethel Moses, Lucia Moses, and Ruth Johnson—all of whom are well-known in the theatrical world and intimate friends of the deceased. Behind them in gray ensembles were the honorary pall bearers, Edith Wilson, Cora Green, Evelyn Preer, Gertrude Saunders, Aida Ward, Maude Russell, Lena Wilson and Ethel Waters, followed by the pall bearers, Will Vodery, F. E. Miller, Aubrey Lyles, Dewy Wineglass, Hamtree Harrington, George Rickson, James Marshall, and Leonard Harper, and the hearse. The carriages were next in order, the family's and Lew Leslie's leading an endless procession. --- IN the church sat a tense and hushed audience. Amid stifled groans, the falling of many tears, and an occasional hysterical outburst, the services moved slowly on. The Mother Zion choir and the Carolina Choir conducted by Hall Johnson, Miss Mills' Orchestra lead by Allie Ross, and Mrs. Louise Howard, Mme Florence Cole Talbert, A. A. Taston, Jules Bledsoe, John Steele, Mme. Jessica Zachery, Miss Jaunita Stinnette, Everett Dabney, and Clarence Tisdale rendered the musical selections. Reverend J. W.

No more will she chirp and flit before the eyes of an enthralled audience, but in the hearts of millions of admirers her memory will live forever. derelict or a shadow. There is a chance that posterity will remember them as they are, rather than as they were. That is the unescap- Page 8 able penalty of growing old. Florence Mills has evaded that penalty. We will always think of her as a slim girl who scored success after success—the youthful figure who climbed rapidly to the heights and never descended. WE WILL always remember her splendid genius that never waned. As an artist she was the supreme mistress of both abandon and restraint. Her gestures were poetry; the seemingly unconscious movements of her body were music. With the simplest gesture or expression she could convey a thought or enkindle a feeling it would require volumes to interpret. Her control over an audience was so superb that at times it seemed almost supernatural. She not only had the ability to inspire tumultu cus outbursts of applause. She also had that greater ability which compells an audience to sit in raptured silence. I WILL ever remember her most vividly as she appeared when singing "I'm Just a Little Blackbird." To me, then, she appeared an incarnate passion, a figure the Gods had sculptured of burning copper. I am convinced that she packed more dramatic ability in that simple song than many an actress spreads out over an entire play. I am inclined to measure, but no means to limit, her ability by the way she could electrify an audience with that trifling ditty. The song has only modest merit of its own; the melody is obvious and the lyric is ordinary. Nevertheless, Miss Mills invested it with more fire and feeling than many a gifted actress is able to evoke from the poignant lines and tense situations of a masterpiece of drama. This comparison, which is the best I am able to make, gives but an inkling of her abundant genius, for so much of her could be felt and enjoyed but never explained. THE story of her life is well known. Only the barest outline of it need be sketched here. She was born in Washington, D. C., January 25, 1895, but her family moved to New York when she was 3 years old and since then she has made this city her home. Her sisters were already on the stage and at a very tender age she joined them in "The Mills Trio," a singing and dancing act, making her first appearance in Mrs. Down's Lincoln Theatre. She remained with the act until 1916, when she joined the ```markdown ``` "Tennessee Ten," at that time playing Kieth vaudeville. It was there that she met her future husband U. S. Thompson. They were m.r (Continued on Page 4.) THE NEWLY RENOVATED WALKER STUDIOS are now available for all private occasions such as, Weddings, Banquets, Receptions, etc. Why worry about entertaining at home?

In fact, the singing was the one big feature of the King Players. The comedy, of a droll, draggy, burlesque nature, lacked that spontaneous combustibility. In short, good old Jackie Mabry had to be added to the program to add the needed pep and longed for kick. Miss Mabry, as most of the Lafayette patrons know, is an exceptionally gifted monologue entertainer and Jackie sure struts her stuff with a feeling. One of the most amusing situations was the church scene. While a few good religious folks might take exception to this piece of burlesque, yet the fact remains that many of the good sisters think it no harm to inbest a few nickles and dimes on the "Number" and would be highly insulted if told they were gambling. In fact, many of our churches indulge in mild forms of gambling to raise money for this and that, including the reverend gentleman's salary. In a very large measure, this comedy situation is true to existing conditions in the church. Eloise Bennet, Billy King, Alice Gorgas, Jimmy Ferguson and Alberta Pugsley was, on the whole, very good. But they had little to work with for there was nothing of a plot and the story, if any, had to be imagined.

THE INTER - STATE TATTLER THEATRE THEATRES (BY THEOPHILUS LEWIS) VICTORIA SPIVEY IN TRIUMPH AT LINCOLN By Geraldyn Dismond Victoris Spivey, youngest of the "Blues" singers and the star of "Hit Bits from Africana," was nothing short of a riot at the Lincoln Theatre Monday afternoon. She sang her two song hits, "Black Snake," and "Dirty Woman Blues," to shouts from the audience of "sing it." Dressed in brocaded metal cloth and multi-colored tinsel, with silver slippers, she was lovely to look at and has that undescribable something called "it." Only eighteen years old, slim and girlish, she is quite a contrast to the typical "Blues" stars and her manners are those of a born coquette. From the minute she stepped on the stage the audience was hers, and she drawled in her best Houston voice, made baby faces and took the place by storm. Her debut was a great success. A bandflickel chorus trotted on and off and put over the clever routines that one would expect from the talented Charlie Davis, who trained them. Twelve in all, they worked with the zest and bang that brought them many a hand, and the soubrette—well, she was a revelation. Billed as Marion Bradford, which I confess meant nothing to me, she came as a delightful surprise—pretty, pleasing voice and bubbling over with personality. The adorable Lottie Gee, of "Red Moon" and "Shuffle Along" fame, wore gorgeous costumes and sang divinely. As for the comedians, they were screams; Gulfport and Brown, Bumpsky and his wise cracks, and a gin-mill bit, were most amusing and then some. Of course, the usual good hoofing was in evidence. RENOVATED TRES AN APPRECIATION (Continued from Page 3.) ried shortly after their meeting and were considered one of the most happily married couples in the profession. AFTER her marriage, Miss Mills teamed with Cora Green and Carolyn Williams and remained with that act until she was engaged for "Shuffle Along." Her work in "Shuffle Along made her a national figure and she followed it up with a long run in "The Plantation Revue," under the management of Lew Leslie. Her fame had traveled beyond the borders of her own country by this time and European producers began to clamor for engagements. In response to an insistent demand from the other side. Mr. Leslie took her to London and starred her in a production called "From Dover to Dixie." Returning to America in 1925, she was starred in "From Dixie to Broadway," following that success with her "Blackbirds." After a six weeks run in Harlem, the "Blackbirds" embarked for London, where she was becoming an institution when her health began to fail. She was a great favorite with royalty and nobility and it was said that the Prince of Wales went to see the "Blackbirds" thirteen times. THE story ends abruptly. She who climbed so rapidly to fame has ascended beyond fame to immortality. Her existence is no longer a succession of dates and events, but an imperishable memory. She is no longer subject to the laws of change and decline. The millions will remember her as they last saw her—a lovely girl with the fire of youth undimmed and a magic beauty in her voice. That voice is silent now but it has lost none of its melody. In hours of quite and solitude we may still feel its magic, as, with memory's silent tongue, Florence Mills sings to us from the realm where she is the youngest of the saints. 8th ANNUAL HARRY a PRAM SCHOOL 8:30 THURSDAY EVENING Friday, November 11, 1887 Burlesque and Vaudeville Goldie Sisco's Thanks --- I wish to thank the many friends who were so kind and thoughtful to me in my hour of bereavement following the death of my beloved grandmother, Mrs. Caroline Dietrich, November 4, 1927.

I feel her passing as a severe personal loss for I have always been interested in her success and proud of her achievements. It was in my theater, The Lincoln, that she began her stage career. While abroad last Summer I saw her in London shortly before she was compelled to suspend her engagement to go to Baden-Baden for a rest. I saw her at the beginning and at the climax of her career. I will ever cherish the memory that it was in my theater that she received the first applause of an admiring public and that I was among the last of Americans to applaud her when she had reached the heights. My deepest regret is that her untimely death ended a career which, though already splendid, was destined to win even higher honors.

THERE seems to be a collusion among the reviewers of the daily press (white) to have it appear that the only type of work that should be done by race people is the original folksong type, or the later jazz music. Even such original works as may be brought out by race composers, and any further development along lines that lead to a departure from, or an amplification of these particular slave songs is considered as unbecoming the Negro musician. I THINK that my grandmother must have lulled me to sleep as a child with spirituals and songs of our own making, and my earliest remembrance of any effort at singing was of the singing of folk music. I love them with a love that cannot be mistaken for any effort at exploiting them for mere gain, as many of our own race and many of other races have done within the last decade. BUT my love for them does not blind me to the fact that as folk-songs they are only the germ root of our musical development. That the folk songs of any race are the root from which is, and always has been, developed the higher forms in music. And that no other race has attempted, or been encouraged to accept its folk music as its highest development in art. Nor urged to feel that in them only could there be anything like adequate performance. No other folk music has been thus differentiated. It is the age-old question that confronts the Negro in every walk of life whatsoever. There is always effort to restrict his development and to suggest just what he can do and just how he shall do it. The white people who have not been resting easy at all since there have been developments among Negroes toward higher forms of art have welcomed this exhaltation of the (slave songs) as the most lucky strike for them particularly, for by restricting the Negro to them it will be possible to strangle the Negro's art at source. The Negroes hungry for recognition and willing to take whatever they can get have welcomed the craze for them as their supreme opportunity. Like Jacob they are selling their birthright for a mess of potage. PERSONALLY, as much as I love the spirituals, I refuse to be limited to them solely, or to feel that through them we are to develop our fullest powers as artists and creators. Through them we are to move to higher forms of art. But no folk song has ever yet been mistaken for the apex of musical or any other type of development. the P. H. are all right.

November 11, 1927 Following my solemn ordination to the postorate of the Washington column of this eminent home journal, I arose from my prayers to observe the goings-on in the neighborhood of the Capital. Being more or less a solemn fellow, I am forced to pass over much of the current wringing and twisting as beneath my clerical dignity. However, the sad spectacle of Mr. Norman Murray,.looking like a cross between Ben Turpin and a dishonest Santa Claus, appearing in the role of Mayor of Highland Beach stirred me to pious meditations. Highland Beach, gentlemen, is a very, very exclusive Summer resort on Chesapeake Bay reserved for that part of the District darkmeat who can trace their ancestry back to the First Slaves of Virginia. I have not heard yet that they call themselves the F. S. V.'s, but since the white aristocrats of Old Dominion have made themselves famous as F. F. V.'s, I suggest, piously that the customers of Highland Beach make every effort to trace their family bushes back to the First Slave Ship, and call themselves F. S. V.'s; I suggest Virginia because nobody knows anything about such lost regions, and they could hardly get away with being the First Families of any other district larger than South East. I have many other equally valuable suggestions to offer them. But I'm not going to give them away for nothing. During the summer past these dark social barons waxed so ritzy that they decided that the very streets of Highland Beach were too good for the hoi poloi. Innocent sightseers were stopped on the street by the sheriff of the village and unless they could show a first cousinship to some resident of the beach, display ten thousand dollars in cash, or boast of a wife resembling Gloria Swanson, they were turned back, and directed to the less exclusive but better paved roads of Maryland. The common people gazed at Highland Beach with longing eyes and wondered what went on inside the sacred limits of that metropolis. It was thought that no amusement below the dignity of auction bridge or polo would be allowed, until the Afro-American sent out spies, who came up with the astounding intelligence that black-jack and dice were kept as busy there as they were out on Four and One-Half street. The best colored Mayor that ever hove in view of my wicked eyes, was the Mayor of Jim Town, of "Shuffle Along" fame. I am down with doubt, as to whether any Mayor of Ethiopian extraction can beat the record of that worthy. However, to show that I am not jealous, I am going to wish that while he may, Mr. Murray can Mayor right on.

NOW what has Ella of Newburgh done to a certain party? We heard him singing "Some Day Sweetheart". L. MAXWELL, how is it that you and Bill stick it out together so well? That certainly is strange. Yes Sir! My, my, my! AMONG the pretty girls of Newburgh, we must award prizes to E. Jones and H. Robertson, and Dot Jones. You shebas are just too bad. SAY Bill, if you still want to be a sheik you had better collar a job. And that's that. "TOTS" Savage was in town last week, butter and egging as of old. Glad to see everybody trying to make them know it by buying plenty. HEY, look out there boy! A word to the wise should be sufficient, so watch out for the little Ofay doll. She's hot on your trail.

Now who was guilty of the cheating? WE wonder if G. Ramsey will be at the game on the 24th. No, not if M. P. has anything to say about it. "JACKIE" Mabry, she of the snappy monologue, paid The Tattler office a nocturnal visit and tried out her line of chatter on the editors. IRVIN C. Miller sure did mess up the Tattler. And we thought that Irvin and the Tattler were such good friends. THE Too Bad Sheiks and Shebas turned out at the "Valree Matinee". Among them were Mary Bullock, David Brown, Arlette Wilson, Edna Jordan and Doquesue Miller of Philadelphia. Jimmy Thomas tickled the ivories and drove the blues away.

What, Lincoln Theatre last week but has moved and left no address? My oh my and we wanted to talk to her so bad. WELL; it begins to look as if the "Pittsburg Curious" can ship that Marmon to Miss Madeline Belt, New York. The petite beauty seems to have a winning hold on the beautiful machine. CERTAINLY is tough for some poor girls. Some of us have to get up at 9 o'clock in order to get to the office by ten o'clock. Yes, we've been at it since springtime too. Tough world this is, yes sir. KEEP smiling and never let the sun go down in your heart. "Smile and the world smiles with you; weep and you weep alone." Ever heard that before Gladys? Well, you won't be up on Edgecombe avenue long it you don't get that "grouch" out of you. We can't stand that, old dear. A prosperous young lawyer with a bright future, was asked by a young lady if he has served his clerkship in the office of Dyett, Hall and Patterson. Heavens no! Myles, we apologize.

Of course, you have been the big noise for some time and you should have known it before you started so deep with the little Broad. TOM Chambers. we hate to mention it but it's taking that man an awful long time to put those piston rings in the old Marmon speed boat. How Come? WE learned from a reliable source that Ethel Carrington, popular little Miss from Providence, R. I., who is cashiering at the Lafayette Theatre, is the star guard of a lassle basketball brigade. We had often wondered why she was fattening up. 'TWOULD be a great idea for Elsie Sequire of the Lincoln to also join a team. Then she and Ethel could settle the question as to who is the cleverest as a cashier. ELSIE, as everybody knows, is equally as popular at the Lincoln Theatre as is Ethel at the Lafayette. And Elsie handles more nickels and dimes than the Lafayette maid, does quarters. Mr. Snyder swears that Elsie is worth her weight in gold and the Lafayette Theatre folks will tell you the same thing about Ethel. Alphabetically, they also are tied. Both begin their given names with an E. and that again makes it a standoff as "E" also stands for equal as well as Ethel and Elsie. NOW, the only solution to our minds, is a basketball contest between these two little sisters to determine who is the better. But instead of using the old scoring system of two counts for a field goal and one for a foul shot, we'll have to tabulate the scoring on a cash register basis. The fouls will count as matinee tickets and the field baskets as evening admissions. JUST try to imagine a thrilling contest between these two plump little ladies. Ethel no doubt would be trained by B. L. Burtt and only naturally Regan would condition Elsie. Miss Regan, who is sure some basketball shooter herself when it come to caging the silver and changing the green, will keep score for Miss Elsie. Our esteemed friend, Mr. Schiff man, will do the cheating for his bobbed-haired accountant. Mr. Howard Burkhardt of Hurtig and Seamon's Theatre could referee and Al Watts from the Alhambra, which is soon due to close, might hold the watch. Bob Douglas of the famous Renaissance Big Five certainly would be willing to promote the contest. DOINGS IN BROOKLYN M. G.

Friday, November 11, 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 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, Manlouring, 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 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 beaty 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. Terms arranged satisfactorily. Further information in regards to this professional training can be had by calling or writing to the Apex College, 200 West 125th street, Boom 116 Edgcombe 7960. THE INTER - STATE TATTLER Chatterbox Notes What worries me is—Who is the Social Leader in Harlem? This question has occasioned many different opinions, with the numerous "I think's" and "I believe's" handed out in that given time, marked with social efforts of importance. For a long time Mme. A'Lelia Walker Wilson Kennedy has been the Titular head, and stood as a social fixture—so to speak—having at her demand, that necessary thing, known as money. The titular head has been accredited to the Mme.; because she could produce buffet and trimmings without forewarning, to any number of artists, the well to do, "the ne-er do welis" and "hangers on" etc., without first securing a loan on the piano. Surely if it were left to referendum, I think the Mme. could get more "yesses" than anyone I might think of. But for the benefit of the other girls of the Alumnae it is well not to overlook their efforts in the social climb to the throne. The social record indicates, at one time, Mrs. Bernie Austin, put her best foot forward and made herself very much felt in her offerings. She too, was in a position to stand much punishment, socially. It must be remembered that the idea of canning her "Hair Persuader" occurred to her early and it got off to a splendid start—to this day and date the lady has not "turned back" moreover her sire has "slow along" nicely—which is an added asset. With these things in mind, the lady is able to unload as much salad and rolls as anyone in Harlem. With all, it seems her temperament did not fit the role of Social Dictator. To be a leader, one must have a pleasing personality—to the extent—no matter what your dislikes are for a person—you must be able, on the impulse, to embrace a sister—and say "Oh! hello dear," "We were just talking about you, "So glad you could get here," and etc., and go further with as many flattering remarks (that you know are untrue) as you can think of. Then for a minute or two, it appeared that Mrs. Mary Lane Ross was in the running for Social Regent. During the period, when Mrs. Ross Thanksgiving Day FOOTBALL EXCURSION $4.50 - ROUND TRIP - $4.50 To Philadelphia and Return FOR THE ANNUAL FOOTBALL GAME Howard Univ. vs Lincoln Univ. THURSDAY, NOV. 24th For Reservations Call at TATTLER OFFICE 2285 SEVENTH AVENUE NEAR CORNER 135th STREET Train Leaves Thursday 7 a.m.—Returns Friday 2 a.m. was waving her napkin—those who were snubbed had plenty to "beef" about. From what I understand the lady laid it down in grand order. The same might be said of one, Mrs. Miller, and it seems that without the slightest notice these ladies "chilled up" and relinquished their nights' throne to those with broader shoulders. Still the mornings came as they have come, and with them came the dollars from a point, somewhere between Billings Gate Market and Trafalgar Square, London. They were Mr. J. Turner Laytons' dollars coming to Mrs. J. Turner Layton. Mme. Turner Layton was literally and figuratively steeped in "bucks." Certainly, the social aspirants were willing to give way to one whose "bucks" were so long, and whose personality was far more gracious than theirs. Somehow, Mme. Layton preferred to remain in a conservative role, albeit knowing she could mount the throne whenever she wanted—and thus for a great while the leadership has belonged to no one. But a new day is dawning—with age giving away to youth and experience giving away to training, it looks to me the leadership has narrowed down to the "western bloods" who have become domesticated in Manhattan for the last few years. On the one hand we have Mrs. Wiley Wilson—hailing from Ohio, who is properly equipped mentally, and who put in her finishing years in the Oberlain Conservatory. On the other hand, we have Mrs. Geraldyn Hodges Dismond, who has mastered all the science at the University of Chicago, for its B. S. These two young ladies, have all the finesse, culture, training and contact necessities to make them ultra in the performance of the numerous and peculiar forms of social duties. Not to be wholly outdone Mrs. Grace Kellogg, Mrs. Lillian Bagnall and Mrs. Bessie Bearden made a feeble gesture for the big seat, but the "going" was too tough and it seems they gave up in despair. I note with pleasure that a gentleman of color from Abyssinia came to these United States and kept his mouth closed until he Page 9 reached Wall street. This gentleman possibly was forewarned, as he ducked all the 'shuck droppers" before and after—took his mouth and put it where the money was, and before Pickens or Dubois knew of the "racket" the gentleman gathered out of Wall street $20,000,000. No, the boys didn't get in on this "jelly." When Mrs. Tooty Adams gave her birthday party at the Club Vodeo, pleasure was the order given. When a ship carries a crew of four or more different nationalities, the crew is spoken of as a checkerboard crew. The nationalities at the party were more or less the same but there were representatives from most cliques and social sets of importance and unimportance in Harlem. But a good time was had by all. The Tattler Football Excursion will leave New York, Thursday morning, Thanksgiving Day, and return after the big dance. The cheapest, safest and most comfortable way to the game.

Sara Washington DANCE FOR HEALTH TO give a fresh sparkle to the eye, a blush to the cheeks, grace, beauty and strength to the body Dance. Dancing is the most enjoyable exercise known, and in order to be beautiful and healthy one must exercise. Dancing teaches co-ordination of all parts of the body. And everyone can dance. So if you have trouble in getting good dance music on the radio buy a few good V.ctrola records, turn back the rugs and dance in the evenings. This is better for everyone concerned rather than sitting around gossiping. IF you happen not to know any of the popular steps such as the "Charleston" or "Black Bottom" don't feel that it is too late or that you are too old to begin. Nor don't be bashful-get up and try. Those whom we look upon as being expert dancers had to learn, and perhaps in their beginning they were more awkward than you. OF course you will argue that you are too stiff and not graceful enough to attempt such dances and. even so, if you did try, you would feel so silly. Perhaps you may at first, but try it when you are alone. Soon it will be easier. If you give vent to your feelings and let the music move you, you will soon learn the so-called complicated steps. I might mention here that there is no better exercise for the abdominal organs and for the promotion of longevity than the "Mess-around." DANCING is one of the surest methods of retaining a slim figure and it certainly keeps you young and graceful. Have you ever noticed how graceful an actress walks and what exquisite poise she has. In the future pay more attention to people on the streets and notice how they carry their bodies. Improve your carriage, walk erect, be graceful in your movements so you will be pleasant to look upon.

Page 12 James Evans, world colored professional pocket billiards champion, in his match against Arthur Woods, proved conclusively that he must be ranked among the greatest players of the age. With a coolness worthy of a Willie Hoppe, the "nerveless" Evans, trailing Woods a matter of some forty odd markers, proceeded to click off the ivories with monotonous regularity until he ran out his string of 150 with an unfinished run of 64. It proved that our "Jim" possesses the stuff that dreams are fashioned out of, and Woods was quick to acknowledge his performance as one of the grittiest he had ever witnessed. Sitting in ringside seats, were many famous characters of the realm of sport. Perhaps the most colorful was "Buck" Rodgers—a sure straight shooter in the days when "Ely," the notorious killer of our group wore the mantle handed down by the inimitable Jesse James. "Buck," like "Lovey Joe," will never see sixty again; but for all of his years, he's as frisky and playful as a colt. Rodgers amused himself flashing five hundred dollar bills (not the stage variety), but real honest-to-goodness yellow-backs, any portion of it to go at evens on the great colored player. Clarence Hutchinson, brother of the owner of the room the match game was staged in, took in the proceedings with much eclat. Mr. Hutchinson is one of the city's best known realtors—a man who has accumulated hundreds of thousands, and not a dime of it tainted. His great hobby is bowling, handball, weight lifting, and hunting. With his brother Ernest, they own a beautiful hunting lodge at Brewster, N. Y. where ever and anon, they chase the deer and the silver tailed fox with prize hunting dogs—these brothers live if you'll take the word of this correspondent. We couldn't sign off without saying a word about the gentleman that made this match possible, Ernest Hutchinson. If Floyd Calvin wants to talk about a real Colored business man when he broadcasts again over the station controlled by Gimbel Bros., Ernest Hutchinson is the man. Don't take our word for anything, just spend a five-cent trolley fare and get off at 144th Street and Lenox Avenue, and you'll readily see why we devote so much space to this go-getter. He's dropped $61,000 into a Bowling and Billiard Recreational Room, that ranks with the finest in the country. You wouldn't be ashamed to take your wife or sweetheart there at anytime. He built this palace for you, Colored Harlam, and its your opportunity to patronize a stupendous race enterprise. Sporting New Sporting News TIGER FLOWERS FIGHTS LEO GATES AT OLYMPIA Al Weil, the matchmaker of the recently opened New Olympia A. C., in East 135th street, formerly the old Commonwealth A. C., has signed up Leo Gates, the Mohawk Indian, to be tossed into the roped arena with Tiger Flowers this coming Saturday night. It will be recalled that the Tiger first attracted attention by his wonderful string of victories at the old East 135th boxing club. This led to his getting matches all over the country and finally to a meeting with the late Harry Greb, at the time middleweight champion. The result of that memorial ring classic led to the crowning of the first colored middleweight champion of the world. Then, to prove that his victory was no fluke, the Deacon elected to defend his newly won title in a return match and again and more decisively defeated Greb. Just recently Mickey Walker was given the title in Chicago when Harry Forbes rendered a verdict in Mickey's favor that startled and shocked the entire boxing world. It was one of the worst, if not the worst, decisions ever given. Flowers is still fighting in exceptional form and barring an accident, Gates is due to be slaughtered. The Georgia Deacon will, or should, cut the white Indian to ribbons. Yet the element of luck will give Leo an outside chance. He might hang a lucky one on the Tiger's chin, which is not any too durable. It's no shock absorber, as has been proven many times. The trouble is to tag that elusive food receptacle of the Tiger man. See by the papers where Harry Dudley, good-looking boxer from Frisco, lost another one out in Pittsburgh the other night. Strange and mysterious as Bret Harte's "Heathen Chinese," are the ways of the modern glove slinger. In the golden days of the sport harping back to the Horton Law, prize-fighters usually drank up their hard night's earning with butterfly acquaintances, who disappeared as soon as the old roll thinned out. The Moderns seem to think they can cabaret, (poor Harry Greb) run wild with still wilder women, and give the old primrose path a deuce of a play. Neither were contemporaneous, but had they been, their faults could not have been more equal. Aside from the ability to command bug purses, that they turn around and lose on the stock market, yis: Duddee, Jack Britton and Willie Jackson; they very much run to seed. If ladies interfere with boxing Dudley, there's nothing left to do but to forsake the leather mitts.

Flashing a snappy passing game that bewildered the visitors during the first period of play, the locals tallied eight points before the Whirlwinds knew what it was all about. "Fats" Jenkins, undoubtedly the greatest colored player in the world, electrified the fans by dribbling through the entire Whirlwind five and caging the big leather ball almost from underneath the basket. On behalf of the management, Mr. Johnny Dederick, the announcer, requested the fans to stand for a half a minute in prayer during the intermission, for the late Florence Mills, whose sudden death early Tuesday morning, November 1st, so shocked the entire nation. Before the prayer, Mr. Dederick read the following enlogy: "At this time in the midst of our enjoyment, it is only fitting that we pay homage and deep reverence to the memory of one who has brought many happy hours to most of us present, and especially to our immediate community, the late Florence Mills." In the second half, the Whirlwinds, after setting a fast pace for the first ten minutes, wilted and the locals scored almost at will during the last ten minutes of play.

The Washington Comedy (Continued from Page 7) when they entered a dark corner Georgia's precious and gaudy heirlooms were out competing with the well-known Georgia social razors for attention. There were no elephants in the parade, but everything else went. Mr. "Pats" Barrett, who operated in Baltimore until his antics attracted the fishy eye of Thomas Raisin, Smith, reported that business was hopping down in his bailiwick. "Corn was drunk in production," said Mister Barrett, "and your time was had aplenty." However, I avoided the festivities of "Pats" to give at the Big Parade on You street.

Two Tons of Whitman Sisters As is generally known, unless something happens, like Miller and Lyles bringing "Kang Tang" to Baltimore and giving the more active part of the Washington dark circles an excuse to dig down for a real show, Washington people know absolutely nothing of the theatre. Anything goes here. The Howard has shows given very much on the Barnum and Bailey plan, that is to say, they are like a circus, having seen one you have seen them all. However, like Ma Palmer's gin, it is the best in town and there is no use kicking. I heard loud squawks about Baltimore segregation when they got back from "Kang Tang," but when I thought of the money theatrical segregation saved me in Baltimore by sparing me from the orchestra and boxes, I could not find it in my heart to help the kickers. And then too, I had been down to the Palermo here in the Capital, where it is true they do not have what I would call segregation; but where they sit you on the last seat in the last row under the isolation plan. All of which brings me to the Whitman sisters holding forth this week at the Howard. From a standpoint of avoiddupois the show is a great success.
