AST week the Vatitler appeared in a new suit of Aothes, Wat jin, we dressed ourself up in new type, new chore’ jk and sported a full-fashioned page of ve CONS Ieee of the Old close-fitling page of four col- ans, We adorned oursely with new features, too, and when we appeared on the Avenue we made quite a hit, al- though we say Wiha shouldy't, Indeed, we looked #0 smart Many people ought we were dressed up for a special occa- Hon, an anniversary or something, With thanks for the com- Dine, we assure them we are going to wear the same OWL every week from now on .-except that we will occa- ovals on oursedll with an extra feature now and then, Homething nifty, you know. that will hit the eye of the ladies, WHITE FOLKS’ ACTORS ; Vo a meeting, of actors and producers called to decide A upon an appropriate memoria) to the Jate Florence Mills it, turned out that many of those present were nore eager to take « nasty dig at Marl Dancer than they were to discuss the business for which the meeting had been called, Mr, Dancer is no special friend of ours and we have nO desire to take his part in whatever private or professional quarrels he muy have. But we certainly do not like the attitude of those actors who think Lew Leslie should take Mr, Dancer's place ag the head of the Wlorence Mills me- morial movement because he is a white man and could inspire greater confidence in the movement. We make bold to remind those actors that not aj] Negroes are handker- Chief heads like thems#elves and we who use our bandannas for the proper purpose would he inspired to no greater con- fidence by w white man than by a colored man of equal ability. Those white folks’ actors are sadly in need of some of Klorence Mill#’ race pride, UL BCOULS, CHUCAVORIIS VO BEL AL THU POOL OL Ue high death rate of Warlem, have turned in much instructive data, some of St of a startling nature. Yor example the following pen portrali: seems to be a living likeness of the average Harlemite between the hours of six and eight o’clock in the morning. Between gulps ot coffee he makes a large and none too securely tied bundle of all the trash and garbage accumulated in the house the day before. When that chore has been com- pleted he takes the dog on a Jeash, tucks the bund: under his arm und descends to the street, The dog, having been cooped up all night, is naturally eager for his recreation, The master lets him follow his impulse anywhere the spirit moves him, usually in the middle of the sidewalk, While the dog attends to his constitutional the master chucks the bundle of refuse into the street, a% a rule in such a maner that the string breaks permitting the Utter to blow from one end of the block to the otter, By this time the dog has diverted himself and kicked up his heels and the master, after blowing his nose on the sidewak, rushes upstairs to grab his tainch and depart for work, This is not a lovely picture, we admit; but, begging your pardon, we make bold to ask “In it you?” If ft i* don’t wonder why the streets look like Old Harry in spite of the industry of the white wings, And don’t show your ignorance by asking the Insurance yee why he charges such ua high premlum on your cy. CWE THANKS DRESSED UP IS THIS YOU? THE UPTOWN NEW YORKER ENO OF THE BOAROWALK NOW that winter Se well upon Marlem and the sea shore season fs definitely completed, the St. Nich- ula Avenue Woardwaik has been approsiately removed, It is re- placed by «a mbrror-lke flooring; Morningside Valisades now slope down to an SImmuculate thorofare, suetropossian in all appects. A yew iyclosure ig around the park. The majestic triangular St, Marks Church detracts in no way from Sts magnificence, which is further en- hanced by the new public school edifice at 145th 6 Apparently, in a relatively short perfod the cata combs beneath the street will take on Mife, Steel monsters will speed bp and down sts finards and Up: town New orkers will possess ad- Citfonal facilities for rapid transit. THE MARRIAGE BED AN UPtown New Yorker who several years ago perceived the de sirabiay of twin beds and finally decided that on acount of the snor- ing propensities of her lesser half separate rooma might be even more conducive to connubsjal con: teniment, was recently asked by no Jess an person than J. Finley Wil- son, which she really and truly preferred, twin heds or twin rooms? As she surveyed her lord and master’s wearing attire strewn about the floor she very aptly re- plied that to her mind the very best arrangement might he sep- arate apartments, _* @ CLOSED FOR ALTERATIONS THE abrupt closing of the Club Voleo causes the Uptown New Yorker to wonder ff this {s the he- sinning of a serien of cessation of activities on the part of the would- he Jesse Iimmies, IT has been many a moon since Harlem has taken Sts eabareting seriously, In fact, the night club solely suported by the natives of Van Vechten's “Heaven’ does not exist, Economie reasons without a buadt have played no small part in hin decision to reserve his black hottom for apartmental functions. Vut orange blossom or top-and-hot- fom J# not half bad in heavy car- peted dens, cozy nooks and dimmed hallways, and after all, it 1# quite an easy matter to tune in on Flet- cher Wenderson or some other Up- town New Yorker, THE GAME OF THE CENTURY THE Uptown New Yorker 58 of the opinion that many who are at this minute perusing this column are doing so between halves of the great eastern clansic. Already in spite of headaches and hangovers you are aware which is the worse team—if such a thing {4 possible. There can be no doubt, however, that you had a bang-up whooping good time Jast night. The lovely an- gels at the Alpha sffatr were just too bad, weren't they? And they had on clothes that, just wouldn’t quit and they knew only one sweet sentence and that was, “Never, no stop.” fo no matter who loses, and probably both will, Shag Tay- Jor and Andrew Lattimore will em- brace each other and have another prescription. And all that sort of thing. NIGHT HAWK. Headlines and Table Talk A WEEKLY SURVEY OF THE WORLD OUGHT TO BE HAPPY William Warley, editor of the Negro News, of Louisville, Ky., supported the Democratic candl- dute for mayor in the recent cam- palgn. On election night a mob of lis compatriots shot up his office. Now Mr. Warley is resentful and sud, He says that from now on the News will be a newspaper, not a Hace paper. We urge Mr. Warley to think again, The fact that he so enraged Mis «colored fellow citizens that they wrecked his office, shows ha suirred their profoundest feclings. That {4 something not many news- papers can do. To a great axtent newspapers have become husiness enterprises and people regard them in the same Hght in which they regard departmental stores. They do not look to them for Nght and lkading. People regard the edi- terfal support as merchandise which has been bought and paid for, hence the editorial influence of {he average newspaper has Lecome uff, The fact thaf the New2 made neyple mad shows they sat‘ll take ft seriously. That {s something of which any editor ought to be prend. THE LAW AN A88. Every {ttle while we reud of a doctor being arrested for pe.'form- ing f{llegal operations. Usually an {llegal operation is an abortion. The fact that it Is against the law to perform an abortion fs one of the instances where the law is an ass. The attitude of the public toward abortions has changed long ago and almost everybody, including the judges who must sentence the doctors when they are convicted, know that when a mothes does not want to bear a child ft is hetter for that child not to be born, More often than not the desire for an abortion is the result of a woman’s tenderest feelings. Some- times the woman realizes that she will have no means of adequately earlng for her child when it comes into the world. To save it from privation she prevents its life. Even if a woman wants an abortion performed for selfish reasons {t {a better to let her have her way. If she does not want a child to inter- fere with her pleasure she will be likely to neglect it if she is forced to hear {t against her will, Instead of jailing doctors who perform abortions the state should maintein hospitals where any woman who desfred to be spared confinement could be treated without cost or questions. s * e This {s ahout another kind of operation. Tiger Flowers had an operation performed to remove a growth from over his eye. The operation was a success but the Fighting Deacon of Camile, Geor- «ia, died a few hours later. But, in na bulletin published after the fighter’s death, physicians declared that only one patient in 100,000 dies of such a minor operation. A few months ago Harry Greb died after the same kind of operation, and a short time before that Pancho Villa, the bantam-weight, died after a “minor” operation of his throat. Page Three 34 FRSC These three deaths ought to make it safe for the rest of us for a Jong time to come. If the average is one death for every 100,000 cuses the deaths of the three fight- ers named hag exhausted the aver- age for 300,000 operations, That means 299,997 patients can now have their throats gouged or their noses reamed with comparative safety. * * * THE BIG TIME ACTS. Americans are an amusement niad people. We not only lonize professional entertainers and pay them huge rewards for furnishing our thrills, We also lik eto inject the theatrical element into events which are commonly considered sober and dignified. When a moy- ing picture idol dies we like for lin to pass out in a spectacular manner. If his manager fails to make a gaudy show of his funeral we recent it as a gratuitous insult offered to the public. We want a ckance to mob the undertaker’s chapel where the deceased lies in state and scratch the $10,000 cas- ket with pins to see if it is really made of copper. We are not con- tent to remember the deceased with reverence for the pleasure he afforded us while alive; we cnn- tinue to demand thrills of the in- animate clay until it fs finally de- posited in the earth. Even then we are not satisfied. We want to hear of his widow receiving ghost messages from the spirit world. This show-fever has saturated every phase of American life, Polf- ticfans, preachers, lawyers, judges and publicists have learned its value for propaganda purposes. Every man who wants to be a suc- cess must be something of an actor. President Coolidge pitches hay in New England and stars in a rodeo out west. The preacher who wants a large congregation must feature Greek dancing, faith healing stunts or a hebdomadal fashion show. If he sticks to straight religion he will soon find himself preaching to emriy pews while his former congregation packs the big church around the corner where they can get a kick out of their holiness. The law. in its various denoart- ments, {s perhaps the biggest shew shop of all. Every important triat is a big time act and lawyers, dis- trict attorneysand judges vie with defendants for the spotlight. Bat- talions of reporters and special writers cover the case for the newspapers and click off every word and gesture over special wires running direct from the courtroom. The only thing lacking 1s that radio owners cannot tune fn like they do when a champfon- ship prizefight is staged. Dr. E. P. Roberts, a prominent Harlem physician, has been elected to the Trustee Board of Lincoln University. Dr. Roberts, who is president of the Lincoln University Alumni Association and a member of the New York City Board of Education, is the first colored man to be elected to the Trustee Board of his alma mater. YE GODS (with apologies to Dr. Floyd Willis). Something must be done about these Friday nights. Four dances and a meeting of extraordinary importance are almost beyond the running capacity of the best trained social athelete when you consider that they must all be done between ten and three and one affair is in the hinderlands of Brooklyn. What actually happened was that I stayed through the meeting which was a celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Negro Journalism and trotted in and out of three dances and finally parked for the morning in the Dark Tower. New York really is a marvelous place come to think of it. Imagine 8,000 people at the Armory, two or three hundred at the Renaissance, two or three hundred at the Walker Studio and 600 at the Academy in Brooklyn, all on one night between the same hours and all dancing. No wonder they call it Van Vechten's Heaven. Manhattan Lodge No. 45 carried the 8,000 to the 369th Armory and it was by far the most cosmopolitan group. There were native New Yorkers (I am just beginning to be able to tell them from other objects of interest) performing very smart one steps; a Washington contingent still clinging to the bump; collegiates doing first one thing and then another; our West Indian neighbors indulging in an English hop; Charlestonians putting on the break; Porto Ricans going through the intricacies of a fancy tango; and any number of twirls and twists that I always associate with the Savoy. Exalted Ruler and Mrs. Andrew T. Mitchell occupied the box of honor and had as their guests: Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, Past Grand Daughter Ruler, Laura E. Williams, Brother Charles H. Joell, chairman of auditors of Manhattan, Brother Julius Andersan, Brother Binga Dismond and Brother John Lovett of the General Committee, Past Grand Exalted Ruler Harry Pace, Daughter Elizabeth Kimbrough, Grand Trustee, Daughter Ruler Pearl Reid of Excelsior Temple, Brother John E. Andrews and Brother Samuel B. Mitchell, treasurer of Manhattan. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson was presented with the most unique invitation—a large silver and oak plaque on which was inscribed—"To Brother J. Finley Wilson, the greatest Grand Exalted Ruler, the I. B. P. O. E. of W. ever had. Greetings. A mighty duty and a mighty inspiration impels Manhattan Lodge No. 45 to extend this courteous and cordial invitation for your presence at our Grand Fidelity Soiree at the 369th Infantry Armory 143rd Street and Lenox Avenue, New York City, Friday, November 18, 1927, Frater- THE MUSIC OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN The handsome LARRY WILSON, who is playing with the Gleasons in The Shannons of Broadway. bally, Andrew T. Mitchell, Gr. Exalted Ruler; George S. Johnson; Financial Secretary; Harry Williams, Reporting Secretary; Edward Roberts, Chairman of Receptions; Robert Nelson, Financial Secretary and Charles Murray, Recording Secretary. Of course there was that general air of "Hail-Fellow-Well-Met" and the proper Elk milk that makes their affairs the joy of Harlem. You couldn't help but have a big time, try as you might. "Honest John Duncan" paid his respects to the Mitchell box. What a favorite he is with the brothers. There were two orchestras and much music which is surely needed in that enormous place. Really when you stand in the center of the floor and look up and around ycu, you feel infinitesimal. Manhattan Lodge appreciates your patronage. Meet us at our March Ball. 1930 Captain Henry Wilson "saw his duty and did it noble". If I remember correctly, he didn't pay the management of the floor much mind this time. He certainly ought to be allowed to enjoy one dance a year. The Ambassador Social Club pulled several hundred, and the time that was had at the Renaissance wasn't anything slow. The club graciously gave the proceeds of the evening to the Citizens Chritsmas Cheer Committee, Inc., to help fill the baskets for the poor on Christmas Day. Mrs. Mayme L. Briggs—three cheers for Christmas Cheer—was the Queen Bee of the affair. She is well suited to the role of Lady Bountiful and has an excellent organization behind her. The more I hear of that Andrades outfit, the more I want to hear of it. Which one is Andrades anyhow? In the Ambassador Boxes were: Arthur Smith, Sphynx Club; Miss Redfield, J. D. Banks. The Amada Club; Mr. Forbes, Mystic Club, Mrs. Jenkins, Hugh Hamilton, Mrs. S. Sutton, D. D. Duke, R. Lee, B. Miller, Mentors Club; J. Miller, G. A. Mina, G. P. O. Girls; Chas. Browns, Mrs. McKeever, The Social Rounders, W. D. Hicks, Mrs. Webb, Just Us Girls; Mrs. C. Jackson, Ray Robbins, Mrs. F. Hendricks, Mrs. A. Johnson, Christmas Cheer Committee. The United Charities Benefit in Brooklyn turned out to be a complete success. Six hundred followers from the bordering Jersey towns, Harlem and Brooklyn and Queens, brought their per capita tax for the general Big Sister, N. A. A. C. P., Women's Charity Club and Home for the Aged Colored People's Fund. Mrs. Julius Jackson is to be congratulated. THE MRS. EDUARDO CASTRO, the new president of the Chicago Club, who is conceded to be one of the most gracious hostesses in Harlem But isn't the Academy of Music the exquisite thing? It exudes elegance and that holty-toilty something. And the Medina Band is by no means among the "also rans." The outcome of the second annual attempt speaks well for the third annual. I do hope that next year there won't be so many counter attractions in Harlem on the same night. Doubling, with Brooklyn as one objective is nigh on to impossible. Les Douze first birthday party was the most exclusive event on the Friday Calendar. They had the attractive Walker Studio decked out in chrysanthemums, autumn leaves and pumking and had a table laden down with bowls of punch that never went dry and an endless supply of French pasteries. The ball and chain gang included the Woodruff Robinsons', the William Cramptons', the Russell Houstons', the Eddie Johnson's, the William Youngs, the Earl Johnsons, the Leo Fitz Nearons, the Franklyn Nicholases, the Louis Rolerfort, the U. Conrad Vincents and the Fred Robinsons. Of the younger group there was Olyve Mae Thomas, Ethel Carr, Frank Andrews, Bell White, Lydia Holley, George Wood, Edyth McAllister, McCleary Stinnette, Skeeter Gorham, Dick Thomas, Frankye Dixon, Bobbie Branch, Helen Scott and Anna Comegys. From two beribboned baskets, the hostesses brought smart gold leather vanities for their feminine guests and leather match cases for the men. The Lees' of California, were present, A'Lelia Walker, Bessye Beardon, Minnie Patterson, Maude Owens, Vernal Williams, Jay Clifford, Henry Branham, Harold Ellis, Frazier Hale, Royal Barker—and this would go on forever. As for THE TWELVE themselves, Bess Tompkins, wore a flesh satin and chiffon combination; Marie Thompson a black taffeta and silver lace; Ann Carlisle, black lace over peach chiffon; Rose Jefferies, white satin trimmed with rhinestones; Ermine Perkins, purple moire; Gordine Perkins, peach chiffon and rhinestones; Cleo Donnell, purple velvet; Ethel Gardner, cerise chiffon; Alyce Wright, nile green chiffon with appliqued velvet flowers; Betty Collins, a red beaded gown; and Irene Alexander, peach taffeta and tulle. They closed promptly at two, which was a great shock and disappointment to me. The Aldridge Lees' of Los Angeles, have had a marvelous time in New York. On Broadway they took in the Paramount and Roxy, Rio Rita, The Love Call, as the guests of Mrs. Ida Hilton. The Jazz Singer and on the stroll The Lafayton. Miss A'Lelia Walker has entertained them at both her town apartment and Lewaro. The Rufus Beards, had a dinner party Sunday in their honor and the Dismonds had a plain dinner for them Monday. They (the Dismonds) also piloted them to the Armory, Renaissance and Walker Studios, Friday. On Thursday they rushed over to the game and on Friday left for the land o' sunshine and oranges. Got to the John Golden Theater Sunday afternoon and found the lcbby full of eager music lovers among them Cleveland Allen, Lucian White, Dr. and Mrs. Du Bois, Lloyd Gibbs, Marion Cumbo, and Arrington Helm. THE fascinating Clarence Tisdale was there in an elegant English walker, and that nice tall Dibble man. 1 Miss GEORGETTE BRANCH better known as "Pretty Bobby", will be the house guest of Miss Edith McDougall of Philadelphia during the Thanksgiving holiday. THE doctors were represented by the Ernest Alexanders, the Lucien Browns, the E. P. Robertses, the Sutherlands of Glen Ridge, the Peter Murrays, the Rowlands and McGowan and McGhee of Harlem Hospital. Mrs. Solomon Johnson had on a black and silver ensemble all black coat with one of the new swank capes, black and silver hat, black suede gloves and a black suede bag edged with cut steel beads. THE lovely Bessye Beardon startled the natives in a Peggy Joyce model of pencil blue, a squirrel and blue fox coat and a suedine hat from the Ledbetter shop. Bertha Coton, of Paterson, N. J., had on a magnificent baby leopard coat trimmed in beaver, a snug THE INTER-STATE TATTLER a chic red dress of a million pleats hat with a gold braid front and with little butons around the hem of the skirt. Madame Talbert, herself, wore a peach colored imported beaded robe, silver slippers and pearls, and her accompanist, Lydia E. Mason, wore a powder blue chiffon with the same accessories. Way late I discovered Cask Bonds, Hall Johnson, Vincent I Sola, Edward Perry, the Noa Thompsons, Mrs. Estelle Caution Lady Jane Best, Mr. Dill of the Crisis, Mrs. Etna Boutte, Mr Iolanthe Sidney, Mrs. Mozell Swan, Mrs. Cole, the mother of Madame Talbert, and Mrs. and Mrs. U. S. Poston. THE balcony was filled with the orchestra floor a close second, and the applause of those present made up for any lack of numbers. Madame Talbert has the most charming smile and is to the manner born. FOR encores she used two of my favorites—"Calm as the Night" and "Home Sweet Home". H. T. Burleigh was represented by Balm in Gilead. Two groups were sung in Italian, one in German and one in English. "Love Went Ariding" had to be repeated to satisfy the audience. Lady Jane Best entertained both the S. Q. J.'s and the Emanons last Tuesday. The best eats—chicken a la king, French peas, potatoe chips, hot rolls, asparagus salad, peach melba and demi tasse. The guests, among whom were three out of town visitors—Mrs. Mayme Clerkseale of Chicago, Mrs. Lottie Cooper of Orange and Mrs. Herbert Cooper of Philadelphia, all arrived in evening dress and made quite a picture. There were seven prizes in all—three French pillows for first honors, two Maderia boudoir sets for the second and two guest prizes. AT the Venetian Tea Room last Thursday Judge Kernochan was the guest of honor of the Men's Group of the New York Urban League of which Dr. Peyton F. Anderson is president. Number Players Beware-thirty days instead of thirty dollars may be your reward. THE NEW YORKER The popular DR. MARSHALL ROSS who goes in for following the hounds and all smart outdoor sports. He will be in the Howard stand Thursday rooting for his Alma Mater for his Alma Mater. Friday. November 25. 1927 Have tried my dingest to find out just who is going to Philly. There doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm around Harlem this season. However, a few will take fire by Wednesday and make a grand rush by train and motor. The H. Conrad Vincents are driving their Lincoln and will be the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Aldridge Burton. The Harry Austins are leaving Wednesday and will put up with the George Deans. The McPhersons (Dr. Gertrude Curtis) the Marshall Rosses, the Eddie Johnsons, Carlotta Grant, Irma Overton, Mrs. Ford Dabney, Sadie chase, the Rufua Bairds, Lulu Burney and Rose Knox Ellis will be among the out of towners. Binga Dismond will be at his cousin's, Dr. Lillian Atkins Clark. The younger set will be represented by Eloise Walker, Bobby Branch, Gertrude Herbert, Bobby Clompton, Tom McNeill, Arthur Payne, Frank Andrews, Hank Caruthers, Robert Skeeter Gorham, Gwendolyn Peterson, George Woods, Rosie Swain, William Keenan, Puss Saunders and Uncle Tom McCleary Stinnette. 印 The Eldridge Lees of Los Angeles, who have spent three months in Europe are staying over for the game and the Julian Raineys and George Drummond are driving down from Boston. Of course, Andrew Lattimore, Shag Taylor and what they always bring with them will be on hand. The festivities will start Wednesday night and continue through Sunday. The Ultra Fashionable matrons, the Frogs, the Fraternities, the Sororities, official receptions and balls will keep things humming. And an endless number of smart intimate affairs will add that last touch. Weyman Rutherford Coston is walking from Chicago to Philly by way of New York to join his pals at the game Thursday. I believe it. He always makes it by some hook or crook. (Preferrably the latter.) My boy, Kelly Miller, Jr., has 4,000 copies of the Howard Medical News ready to distribute as a Thanskgiving offering to the fans at the game Thursday. Horace Scott of Washington is scheduled to pay Harlem a visit following the Howard Lincoln festivities. Don't forget the Midnight Rounders' Thanksgiving afternoon at the New Star. Fletcher Henderson and everything. Oh, boy! Had the best time at the Dark Tower Friday from around two until four g. m. Ralph Banks was in one of his mellow moods and played and sang the most divine things—"The Man I Love" (what a scng!); "When My Heart Stood Still", the hit of the London revue One Damn Thing After the Other and used here in the Connecticut Yankee; and the naughty risque "Misbehave." Uncle Tom McCleary Stinette did a oo bad tango and there was oodles of bumping by the rest of us. Irene Alexander had a gang up in honor of her sister, Dr. Virginia Alexander; the demure Lydia Holly was there with the Eddie Johnsons and the Fitz Nearons and some nice young man; Minnie Patterson and a tableful were centered around the visiting Maude Owens; John C. Smith and a party of three dropped in; Ethel Gardner in a stunning red chiffon dress was unusually captivating; the Lees of Los Angeles were my guests; of course Miss Walker was there and, by the way, she had on a metal brocade gown with thousands of dollars of Russian sable on it; and we all ate the best spaghetti and drank A'Lelia Walker iced tea. On Tuesday, last, the Brotherhood Fraternity held its Mid-Autumn Cabaret Frolic at the Bamboo Inn. The purpose of the affair was a bit out of the ordinary. It seems that the president of the Fraternity, Mr. Rutherford R. Wright, has written a book of considerable promise and his Brothers took this means of raising funds to assist him with its publication. The officers and members of the Brotherhood are as follows: Rutheford R. Wright, president; L. O. Johnson, vice president; W. A. Hamilton, secretary; Frank L. Hailstolk, Jr., business manager; Aubrey Fane, chairman arg't. committee; John Doles, Wm. Foster, R. D. Lester, Harold Loyd, Thomas McNeil, Samuel Owens, George Rollins, G. G. Singleton, E. E. Utterback, A. B. Wright. Darkly the rumor persists (borrowed from "Your Harlem and Mine") that the James Huberts have a new Studebaker. Will I never be able to shake that Dodge? Just learned that Alvin Moses, who writes that clever sport stuff, is on the sick list. Here's hoping that there's nothing to the report, and if there is, that he stages a quick come-back. The Harrises came up from the Village Saturday to see N. Y. U. massacre Allegheny. Jimmy had on woolen socks and knickers and all that sort of thing. Gray hair is so becoming to some young faces. Earl Johnson's too. The adorable Lady Edna Thomas is turning Chicago every sort of way but loose. The natives don't give her time to count three. But she likes it, and sends word back to Harlem that she hates to leave, but the closing of "Lulu Belle's" Chicago engagement has been set for December 24th. Mayme White, of many bracelets and an irrisistible smile, made one of her famous flying trips from Philly to spend the week-end with A'Lelia Walker. Harold Jackman got an M. A. in history from Columbia. What did I tell you? Handsome Harlem Intellectual. Enter the Christmas Glee Club with the popular Ethel Baird leading the procession. Following her are Mae Goode of the Pierrette Club and Harry Henley of the Osbiny. The gang will meet Monday, December 5th, at Bamboo Inn, there to carry on and mess around.

She had planned to spend a week with friends in New ork but the illness of her sister, Manila Owens, caused her to leave immediately for the Coast. T.

Smith, chairman of the committee, is giving a Thanksgiving party and dinner for the poor children of Harlem. The children are invited to meet at P. S. 89 at 10:30 A. M., from which point they will go to the Lincoln Theatre and see a special picture as a gift of Mrs. Downs, and later to Mother Zion House to dinner. Tickets may be secured at the Tattler Office. Mr. Soloman Johnson, Inspector of Immigration at Ellis Island, and Tony Caronetti of the Italian Steamship line were guests of Güiseppi De Luca, grand opera singer, at the Saturday matinee of Aida. Lucy Von Strayhorne, Evelyn Pope Burwell and Mae Morrison were hostesses over the week end to the popular Alma Von Strayhorne and Marie Williams, of Philly. D. Jane Curtis, of Washington, who will be remembered by New York Howard Alumni, has been appointed mental hygiene advisor to the College of Women at Howard. Henry Branham, whose invitations are much sought after, gave an informal party Saturday night. The apartment is too lovely this fall. Red silk walls, gold theatrical gauze draperies, some genuine Ming pottery, antique brass candlesticks, an orthophonic Victrola, a baby grand and a profusion of cushions and the makings of a bang up time are always in the kitchenette. Attorney John M. George, of Portland, Me., is driving his Studebaker to the game. Before returning home he will try an accident case against the Seaboard Line at the District Supreme Court. Although a Yale graduate, Attorney George has done work at Howard and is well known by the gang. What, another Night in Spain? The Mystic Club announces a strictly character costume ball with half mask for Friday, December 30th at the Manhattan Casino.

Miss Jessie Whither, who will be married on "Turkey Day" in Washington, was given a shower last week by the Polly Pert Social Club, of which she is a member. Mr] and Mrs. Charles Brown have announced the engagement of their daughter, Aileen Henriette, to John Cyril Fullerton. The marriage will take place in December and around Christmas, we suspect. The charming Lena Dukes is spending Thanksgiving week with her mother in Boston. She certainly wields a wicked file and buffer. William L. Patterson, known to his intimates as Pat, and Herbert Newton, a former Harlem boy who finished from the High School of Commerce in Boston, sailed Wednesday on the Aquitania for Russia where they will enroll at the Leningrad, the old St. Petersburg University. They received scholarships from the Workers' Party and will be in Russia for two years. On December 14th, at Mother Zion A. M. E.

The Theatre Black Magic, a West Indian Rhapsody By STAGE STRUCK Whatever Mrs. Ashwood Garvey may have against her erstwhile Marcus Garvey, she at least evens up a few scores in Black Magic, which is causing a riot of laughter at the Lafayette this week. Jails, phoney titles, accusations of bigamy and West Indians in general come in for no end of razzing. But she couldn't put it over so successfully without the marvelous work of Sam Manning, a native of the islands. Co-Arthur with Mrs. Garvey, he comes in for double credit. He certainly knows his countrymen or what perhaps is more to the point, he knows how to portray the American idea of the Britisher. He has learned the trick (maybe he came by it naturally) of making the lift of an eyebrow or a stupid silence of one minute do the work of half a dozen lines, and his dialect and gestures are priceless. He is the perfect bombastic, argumentative stupid that we feel all West Indians should be and his work is so up roariously received that it is almost impossible to hear his lines. The audience goes wild over him. Next, so far as excellence of performance is concerned, comes Artie McGinty. What a character. She is the kind hearted, fumbling, talkative old southern Auntie that keep your sides aching. Her partner is Anna Freeman and they make a team that you won't forrget. I have seen their bit done before but Black Magic works them through the entire play and to good advantage. Duckett and Convey, two chaps from Small's Revue, got away with some hoofing that, while not exceptional, was accompanied by some clever pantomine that really set it off. The chorus was hard working and fast stepping but hardly the line up that would set the bald head row ablaze. But that first one on the left shows some form. If Doe Green got many and a laugh and made a splendid foil for Manning. George Stamper, by the way, came on twice and in that last scene, he was too sharp for words. A West Indian song "I Love My Jamaica" was offered as a successor to the West Indian Blues but it lacked the swing and melody of the real blues. The lyrics for it, however, were darned amusing. All in all, while Black Magic and the magic stuff is the poorest in it—is not the most finished musical comedy I have sat through yet, I got enough laughs to be able to say that I was far from bored. Professor J. F. Robinson, of 26 St. Nicholas Place, is offering a scholarship to include tuition, books, and lessons for one school term for a deserving pupil of Violin.

Since that cutie from 133rd Street played the badger game on us we haven't had any confidence in women, so this week we treked down to the Alhambra to see the show for ourselves. To our surprise the girl was really telling the truth and the show at the Alhambra is really good. It is so good, in fact, it restored our faith in womenhood. It taught us that women can be true as well as fair. They can also be obliging when they want to be for it is due to the courtesy of the little brown-skin usher of the left-center aisle that we were able to identify some of the performers. From now on we will not be as reluctant as heretofore to give the girls a hand. ESPECIALLY the fair ones of the Alhambra chorus. They dance and sing sprightly enough and make a flowery background for the principals and if we were a sugar daddy we would surely reward a few of them with a sweet evening or two. Of the leads we rather like Lottie Brown, a newcomer who looks good and sings good, and next to her the girl who sings "He's My Beau." (Our little usher friend was busy while this number was on so we can not give the lady's name.) Anyway, she's warm. For comedy they have Eddie Hunter and Tim Mooore attending to that, supported by George Cooper. The rest is what you expect. Eddie has forty-leven ways of being funny and Tim has leventy-six. If you have eight bits and the evening to spend take your girl friend down to the Alhambra. It's an even bet she will say yes after the show. The Florence Mills Memorial Fund Committee elected officers Thursday night. Jesse Shippe was made president, Jimmie Marshall vice-president, Irene Hudlin Jordan recording secretary, W. C. Handy financial secretary, and Henry Parker of Nail and Parker, treasurer. Irvin C. Miller and a Committee of seven—Roy Morse, Charlie Davis, Charles S. Gilpin, Clarence Robinson, Bob Slater and Paul Bass—were apointed to arrange for a series of midnight shows to raise money for the Florence Mills Memorial Home for Disabled and Indigent Performers. Ulysses Thompson and Lew Leslie were elected on the advisory board to confer with all committies. The first of the midnight shows starts next Saturday at the Lincoln, Lafayette and Alhambra. Eddie Cantor, Al Johnson and Paul Whiteman have promised to play at all three. The Dunbar theater of Washington is also planning a midnight performance under the management of Clarence Robinson. Earl Dancer, an organizer of the movement, will devote his time to securing contributions and interesting the performers abroad. He plans to leave for London in December where Ethel Waters is scheduled to open on New Year's Eve. THE LINCOLN-ALHAMBRA THEATRES IN A COMBINE Mrs. Maria C. Downs Buys Heavily of Alhambra Theatre Stock and Will Take An Active Part In Work What is certain to have far-reaching effects on the theatrical world and will mean a great deal to the theatre-going public, was a deal which was successfully engineered and closed out just a few days ago, whereby Mrs. Maria C. Downs will be one of the big stockholders in the Alhambra Theatre Holding Corporation. The news will be hailed with joy far and wide by the performers, who have great confidence in Mrs. Downs and they will take a greater and more serious interest in the old Seventh Ave. theatre. There is no question but that the tie-up with Mrs. Downs will establish a confidence in the theatre which it has not had in many years. Mrs. Downs plans to install the same policy at the Alhambra Theatre that has proven so successful at the Lincoln. She plans to present the best obtainable in musical comedies, revues, etc., even playing a high class drama when one is offered. MILLER'S "BLUE BABY" AT LINCOLN THEATRE Nona Marshall Is Sure Some Blue Baby And How—"Billie" Young Gets Big Hand—Comedy Is Good Irvin C. Miller's new vehicle, "Blue Baby," now playing at the Lincoln Theatre, has some surefire comedy situations, good singing, a classy aggregation of pretty dancing maids and a fairly good cast of principals. The amusing story is of a cheating wife who rejoices when the news of her husband's death is telephoned her. The avaricious sister plans on who she'll spend the insurance money and then complications follow thick and fast. Nona Marshall as the Blue Baby works creditably well, getting many laughs with her witty chatter in reference to her spouse. Edgar Martin plays the part of the unfortunate husband and he too does very nicely. Others who assist in the delineation of the story are: Bea Foote, Albert Jackson, "Billie" Young and Monk Bramlet. Aside from the story, the other features of the vehicle are "Billie" Young. Bea Foote and Louise Williams singing. Miss Young's work stood out and she had to take several enchores at almost every performance. A NEW THEATRE WILL OPEN IN QUAKERTOWN Another new theatre will open Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, under the wide-awake aggressive direction of Joe Woods, who for years has been a prominent figure in the theatrical world. The new jewel is The Pearl Theatre( situated at 21st Street and Ridge Avenue and only the best in the vaudeville profession will be presented to the public. Mr. Wood paid New York a flying visit last Monday in search of musicians and took back with him oDnald Heywood and band. Heywood is beyond question one of th best piano players in America. For Thanksgiving, the official date of the opening, Mr. Wood has arranged an elaborate program of five acts and a photoplay of exceptional merit. The acts will be the Taskiana Four, Watts and Ringgold, Edith Spencer and Lottie Gee, the Shuffle Along Four and Shelton Brooks. MME.

Here is a singer who won a gold medal at the Chicago Musical College at graduation; who successfully concertized throughout the United States for years, and then went to Italy and lived there five years, to become acquainted with the language and the customs so that she might make her entree into opera with all the advantages that come from close association with an operatic people. She made her debut in opera in an Italian opera house in the Verdi Opera Aida, and won the plaudits of the public, critics and musicians, and returned to America, to find that in the largest city, in the land, the city that pays more for musical performance than any other in the world, that the laurels that it has bestowed on one artist of the Negro race, it is reluctant to bestow on another. That the day of novelty in Negro artists coming before the public is gone and that there is really a colusion on the part of some groups to have it ap pear that only primitive songs are the true art of the black folk. Madam Talbert sang with exquisite finesse and showed not only a charming diction which she had before she left our land, but showed also a growth in power and vocal resources. Labeled a Coloratura she is indeed dramatic, as unfortunately most of our singers miss-classify themselves. Her Italian was impeccable, and her German was excellent. A whole race hopes that Florence Talbert gets her chance to appear in the Opera Aida on our shores. The S.

Classes Afternoons and Evenings—Enter Anytime PAY AS YOU LEARN DIPLOMAS AWARDED POSITIONS ALWAYS OPEN Call or write "TIS here we stop to reflect, for what has come to us by way of good and bad 'breaks' during the past ten months. The earliest settlers of Virginia had "bad breaks aplenty." These Pilgrims were knocked out so fast by those tough winters that it began to worry the remaining few, as to who was tobury that "last man." But beneath all this darkness, they saw enough light, to set aside that day, known to us as Thanksgiving Day. There was not a great deal for them to be thankful for, other than to be thankful that things didn't get worse. And so it is, that I am thankful for many things, but am unable to show any of them on bank books. I am thankful that I am a young man—unmarried—and retain my ambitions for all that is of the World, the Flesh and the Devil. I am further thankful that my antipathies for landlords, the Telephone, Gas and Electric Companies and other monopolies—which deprive one of much genuine peace of mind (upon default of payment) are quite unchanged. The Record of Activities remind me that I am not alone in my supplication to the Great Jehovah. AND so without emphasis, it occurs to me that certain doctors should be thankful, one for his early training in the B. W. I. (trapezing) for were he not skilled, it would have been far more hazardous to swing down the fire escape to safety—escaping the pursuing detectives (local and private) who were bent on getting first rate evidence. And then, another might be thankful that the little melee at the home last summer ended in the Magistrate Court instead of being hauled downtown. Again, still another can give thanks that the newspapers did not get first hold on his "grand doings." It permits him to carry on his affair of the heart, with little furore. Then, too, a Councellor should give thanks that his madam contents herself to stay in Porto Rico—thereby permitting the Counsellor to operate at large (socially). If the above were not the case the Counsellor's "gymnastics" would not stop on this side of the Domestic Relations Court. Moreover, a sheik and a sheba could give thanks that when the car turned over on 7th Avenue, there were no injuries sustained—save the fracturing of the "move about," commonly known as an Oakland car. AND a miss might offer thanks that a widow is making a part of the winter at Lakewood, N. J. Another Counsellor should be thankful that through his heiress bride he has been rescued from the wilds of Little Rock, Ark. Albeit—a most reverent gentleman—in his regular offerings to the Maker—might give an over-dose of thanks, for his proficiency in nursing his children, and further thankful that he is a man of the Gospel, with enough time to take this much "weight" off the Madam without cusing. A vamp might give thanks that she was the cause of only one fistic contest this year. A mother is thankful that the marriage of her son (an instructor at Howard University) and a chorine has been postponed until Spring. A schoolmarm could be thankful that she retains enough attractiveness to inveigle a young and unsophisticated doctor into taking her to Philadelphia to witness the Penn-Harvard Football Game. A specialist is duly thankful that, though he appeared to be "down at heel' when given his "walking papers' — continues strong enough "in the pocket" to keep the rails warm between here and New Haven. A certain widow might be doubly thankful she got rid of one doctor in time to her lot for "baby lamb"—and again that the license clerk must take your word for ages given. She drew No. 36 as for her years on this earn, the groom was a bit below and drew number 28 as years of earthly existence. The athletic doctor must be thankful that he was appointed to the Staff of the Harlem Hospital—as the doctor has "ached and pained" quite some time, waiting for this "break." Another Miss could be thankful that her friend escorts her to "Muffins and" rather than bring the "Muffins and" to her—for it is alleged—that the gentleman—after lunching—is capable to thrust a naked muffin or two in his hip pocket. The Tightwad might be thankful that boxing gloves are still being made—giving him the excuse—of not being able to get his hand in his (money) pocket. AND so the record goes, without interuption, but space will not permit further indulgence—save to that—collectively—teh idle women of Harlem can be thankful that the Bridge Clubs are cropping up so fast that an individual can "cuss out" one or all members and walk right around any corner to a brand new bridge club. For one bridge club is just as aimless as another. So here's hoping you will enjoy your cold storage turkey of this year, as well as those of yesteryears. And may the Good Lord smite the woman, mean enough—to set in front of a good working man—a rotisserie turkey. NEW ROCHELLE. N. Y. The United Ushers Association of New Rochelle of which Mr. J. L. Battle is president, gave a wonderful and rare program last Sunday, Nov. 13th, at Mt. Carmel Church. It was for the building fund of that church. Rev. Amos, pastor, gave the welcoming address. Mr. Smith, a dramatic reader of Brooklyn, N. Y., held the audience speechless while he gave his master reading entitled "The Old Violin." The Association under Mr. Battle's leadership with the co-operation of the members is doing great things. * * * Mrs. W. H. Reynolds of New Bern, N.

Sara Washington BALDNESS AND BRAINS BALDNESS is a condition almost confined to civilized races, and rarely found among more primitive people who live an open air life. This fact is probably responsible for the idea that baldness is a sign of unusual mental powers. THE lack of hair has nothing to do with the presence of brains, of course. The possible truth of the notion is that intellectual people are apt to lead more sedantry lives and are otherwise not of good general physique. As a type they are finely-strung an dnervous, with a tendency to derangements of the glands of internal secretion. All this produces constitutions so weak in powers of resistance that diseases of the scalp such as baldness are more easily contracted and with greater difficulty thrown off. THUS, while not all bald heads are intellectual, there are more bald heads to be seen at a highbrow gathering than at a cheap burlesque show. THERE are many causes for the loss of hair and precautions should be taken to check it in the beginning by keeping the scalp clean and healthy and massaging it night and morning. Women usually notice increased hair loss through the unusually large number of hairs brought out by combing. While men observe first the thinning of the hair on the top, front or sides of the heads. The hair line gradually recedes backwards fro mthe forehead until it meets the bald patch on top of the scalp and then the retreatlag hair line of the temples. The last hair to go is that from the sides and back of the scalp.

Friday, November 25, 1927 SPORT S (By BENN SPORT SPARKLES The Death of the Tiger THE sudden and unexpected former middleweight chase shock to the sport world. Georgia athlete gave his best was a credit to the boxing timely death is a great loss and ing could not well afford. doubtedly the greatest un that ever drew on a glove; a ality, modest to almost bash loving Christian, sincere and brief, a man. THE sudden and unexpected death of Tiger former middleweight champion, came as a shock to the sport world. The lion-hearted Georgia athlete gave his best at all times and was a credit to the boxing game. His untimely death is a great loss and one that boxing could not well afford. Flowers was undoubtedly the greatest unorthodox fighter that ever drew on a glove; a colorful personality, modest to almost bashfulness, a home loving Christian, sincere and courageous—in brief, a man. The Tiger, after suffering many disheartening and humiliating defeats by fighters of his race, finally won the middleweight championship from the late Harry Greb at Madison Square Garden Feb. 26, 1927. The sturdy, courageous Georgia boy was born in a little community that may be found on the map, called Camile, August 5, 1895. He started fighting when about 23 years old, as in the story books, whipping the town bully. In his early fights, Flowers was little more than a welterweight, tipping the scales around 148 pounds. Not until he became associated with Walk Miller, did Flowers do any real training for his fights. But he found no great difficulty in whipping the boys around the neighborhood. The Tiger's success with the padded mitts attracted the attention of Walk Miller and during the latter years of his ring life, Miller cleverly piloted him unto the middleweight title. It was in 1923 that the Tiger began attracting real attention, by winning a newspaper decision over the then ruling champion, Harry Greb, somewhere out in Ohio. Then the Tiger came East, preceeded by press releases sent out by his wide-awake agressive manager. The McMahon brothers who were at that time conducting the Commonwealth Sporting Slub in East 135th Street, signed up the Tiger and if memory serves us right Lee Anderson was the Deacon's first opponent here. Dating from that engagement, the lowly Georgia boy swept all opposition before him for almost a year and electrified the boxing world with his peculiar methods of fighting. He confounded the experts who had harshly criticised his dashing, slashing, slapping, twisting and dodging style of ceaseless action. He could not last, they argued, and that the first boxer with a cool head and steady nerves in addition to a knockout punch, would take him. In this they were in a measure right. Jack Delaney, fresh from his 4-round knockout victory over Paul Berlenbach, tapped the Tiger on the chin and knocked him into the arms of old King Morpheus, at the New Garden in 1925, and then duplicated the feat again a few months later. Yet the Tiger reached greater heights following those two humiliating defeats, fighting his way to the championship by defeating the cagey old rough house champion, Harry Greb. From there on, it was just one triumph after another with a foul decision thrown in against him with Maxey Rosenbloom and that cheesey Chicago decision by Benny Yanger, whereby Mickey Walker became the middleweight champion. Flowers' success in the ring was due to two factors: the first an inexhaustible supply of energy; second, an unorthodox style of continuous attack, depending on agility to baffle and bewilder his opponents. This combination proved highly successful on the whole, despite the fact that the Tiger did everything contrary to the book. HARRY FELIX BASILY DEFEATS CANADA LEE Harlem Favorite Given A Boxing Lesson by Shifty White Boy—Fans Pay Tribute to Flowers Harry Felix, white, classy welterweight contender from the East Side, easily outclassed Canada Lee in the six-round semi-final to the Moscowitz-Malone shuffle, won by Moscowitz at the New Olympia A. C. last Saturday night. After the first bell sent Lee out against his sturdy white rival, the result, barring an accident, was never in doubt. Lee tried hard and desperately making courageous efforts to turn the tide of victory his way. He stuck to his guns despite a severe whipping, forever trying to put over a knockout punch. Felix, who has been idle for nearly a year, outboxed, outhit and out-smarted Canada, who made the mistake of trying to box a cleverer foeman instead of fighting him. Lee's only hope was in hurting Harry early and slowing him up for a killing punch. Instead, he tried to outbox Felix and took a neat pounding. Teh value of a wide-awake second was very forcefully demon- strated in the second out of the evening etween George Walker of upper Harlem, and Tony Ferrented, east side middleweight. Walker easily out-gamed the white boy in the first round and was doing nicely, when just about five seconds before the bell ending that round, he stepped into a short right cross. The blow staggered him and he fell against the ropes just as the bell rang. Ferrente stepped in quickly and reigned blows upon Walker for full ten seconds after the end of the round, while the timekeeper pounded furiously to attract the attention of Referee Johnny Marto. Right then and there the fight was won had Walker's seconds taken advantage of the situation and claimed a foul, which was clearly and undeniably the case. Ferrente scored an easy knockout in the next round. HARRY SCOTT TO BOX AT THE NEW OLYMPIA Harry Scott, classy Atlantic City New Jersey lightweight, has been signed to meet Sammy Cherin at the New Olympia A. C., East 135th St., Saturday night. Scott, in his first appearance made a wonderful showing and won instant favor. In Cherin, the colored boy is meeting no pulooka as the white boy has been coming fast in the last few months and personally asked to be matched with Scott when he was told that all the other lightweights were side-stepping Harry. The bout will be one of two feature ten-round fights, the other match being Bobby Garcia vs. Johnny Filucci. Garcia is the Army lightweight champion and Filucci a local favorite. Romea Dougherty will have a real Dutch Garden in the Spring. He just planted hundreds of tulip bulgs last week. Certainly would like to see it. Am I invited? By the way, he has been elected president of the Sport Writer's Club. Dr. Rollo Wilson is vice-president. Sam Lacey is secretary-treasurer. Their headquarters in Philly will be at the New Douglass Hotel.

C. basket ball team by a 54 to 24 score and could have even made the score larger, at the Renaissance Casino, last Sunday night. Getting off to a flying start, the locals piled up basket after basket and after the first five minutes the defeat turned into a complete rout as the visitors wilted before the bewildering attack of the Renaissance five. Little Georgie Fiall hogged most of the glory, scoring 23 points for the home talent with a variety of shots and from as many angles. Fiall certainly had the range of the baskets and seldom missed. The game was a splendid workout on the eve of the big battle between Bob Douglas' champs and the world champion Celtics, Thanksgiving Day Night at New Manhattan Casino. Bob, wise old general, was careful in booking a game so close on the eve of the big turkey day night affair at the 155th. Street auditorium. Like the cleverest of tactitians, foxy old Bob carefully picked the tea mfor a Renaissance tune-up and the Pioneers proved that Bob's judgment was saund. Now, if the locals triumph in this game Thursday evening, November 24th, not only the players but Bob Douglas will be deserving of a large measure of the credit due in such a glorious event. And take a tip from us. the locals will put up a great fight and are a good bet to win from any team when on their game. Incidentally, speaking of that Thanksgiving Day Night game between these two great teams calls to mind that one of the best dance orchestras will furnish the music before and after the game.

Leave all news items at the "Tattler" o;ce, 396 Washington Street, or call Mulberry 5405, and I will call and get your news. Also leave orders for your "Tattlers" to be delivered to your residence weekly by the "Tattler" man and tell your friends what a good paper the "Tattler" is, and ask them to buy one every week. That way the "Tattler" will lsoon become the world's greatest pictorial weekly.

JAMES E. (BROADWAY) JONES, District Manager. A dinner party was given at Miss Mayme Hopgins' residence, 105 Springfield Ave., Newark, in honor of Miss Amanda Wright's fiance, Mr. Willie Cummings, of Chicago. The guests were Miss Laura Foster of New York, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson of Orange, Mr. and Mrs. Johnie Voden of Newark, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Mullen of New York, Mr. Powell Walker and Mr. Olander Newman of Newark. The party ended up at the Bamboo Inn in New York City and everybody had a wonderful evening of enjoyment. * * * A birthday party was given in honor of Miss Anna Brown Tuesday evening. November 15th, by Mrs. Millie Williams, at her residence, 411 Halsey Street. Mrs. William had her home beautifully decorated for the occasion. The music was furnished by the Collegian Orchestra of Washington, D. C. Covers were laid for more than one hundred guests. Miss Brown received many valuable presents from her many friends and admirers. Among the presents were two beautiful diamond rings, a beautiful diamond set bracelet, a string of pearls, a diamond brooch, a wrist watch, and other presents too numerous to mention. Among the guests present were the following: Mr. Hudson Greenadge of New York City, Mr. Lee Jackson, Mr. Good, Mr. Charlie Dairy, all of Westfield, N. J., and Mr. Billie Ralls, Mrs. Bessie Green and Mrs. Brown of Springfield, N. J., Miss Hene Robinson and Miss Lillian Thomas. Miss Mildred Jones of Philadelphia, Mr. Elmer Morriss, Mr. Robert Simmons, Miss Daisy Jackson of Baltimore, Mr. James E. (Broadway) Jones. Mrs. Millie Williams, Hostess, saw to it that everyone present spent a most enjoyable evening, and everyone wished Miss Brown many more happy birthdays. * * * Miss Peggy Wise and Miss Evelina Foxworth have just returned to Newark from their extended vacation at the seashore. They were observed visiting the various night clubs Friday evening and seemingly were very glad to be back home again. * * * After all of these years J. R. should be tired of following A.

I wonder why? Please let us know, will you? * * * Anna Brown, entertainer at the Cotton Club, is playing Billy Clay, the undertaker's brother (jam up) since Drapper, the former cornet player, of the Cotton Club has been away. We wonder if she thinks that is fair to Drapper? * * * Miss Edna Davis says that Mr. Eddie Johnson just won't don't but wait until Queenie finds out what it is all about. My! My! My! * * * Well, friends, it looks as if (the coast) is gone. I guess the law will take charge of Arlington Street now, after what happened Saturday night, when the ofay boys were stripped right in the street. Gee, but it's tough now. * * * I met my friend Mary on Springfield Avenue, and she hit me in the mouth and said she was going to kill Bennie Chambers. Now I wonder why? On the level, Mary, was it good? If it was, what were you sore about? My! My! My! * * Helen Cooper said that whoever put that item in the "Tattler" about her last week was crazy, because she has plenty of coats. Maybe she could loan that party one in a case of emergency. Now shake that off. * * * The show at the Orpheum Theatre last week was way below standard of the shows that the Orpheum has been presenting to the patrons. That old down home stuff is out of date and will not make good where people of the race that have the interest of the race at heart make up the majority of the audience. Mr. Walker, manager of the Orpheum, is much too smart a man to book many shows like last week's show at the Orepheum in the future. * * * I heard that Miss Hattie Crosby was very very sick. I hope that it is not serious and I wish her a speedy recovery. * * * I intend to make a weekly review of the night clubs of Newark. Beginning this week, too. The Cotton Club attendance has increased 100 per cent since Cliff Jackson and his Krazy Kats have been displaying their Musical Art at the Cotton Club. Man-of-War, what is the big idea of going over to the Kinney Hall Night Club, making love to little Lawrence Darden, then coming back to the Cotton Club and making love to Lawrence Miller after telling me that Bobby Jenkins was your sweet man. Now don't bust your vest, Miss Man-of-War, because I know some one else who likes you very much. So watch your step. * * * I went over to the Plantation to visit my old friend Doc Mayo, leader of the Plantation Orchestra, and I noticed the wonderful interior decorations and other improvements that had been made since my last visit. They also have a couple of classy looking entertainers that were new to me. I didn't get a chance to see them so I will have to report on their work in next week's Tattler. * * * The Kinney Hall Night Club is still the leader of Newark's Night Clubs because Mike Mazzie and the Madame combine every effort to give the patrons their money's worth. Mr. Irving (Berlin) Gilmore stages the review and Mr. Price Jones takes care of the music. Mr. Prince Smith is in a class by himself when it comes to entertaining with a violin. Look for his photograph with a news item in next week's Tattler. Some of the entertainers at the Cotton Club wanted to know why the Kinney Hall Night Club entertainers were mentioned in the Tattler every week. It is because that they believe in that old saying to live and let live and they make up a contribution for me every week. They know that I eat like every other human being; that is the reason that Kinney Hall Night Club is in the Tattler every week. * * * Miss Julia Dade. florist of 212 Bank Street. presented the Cotton Club with a good luck wreath of offwers. Wishing the club success. LINCOLN APARTMENT HOTEL INDIANA AVENUE Just north of Atlantic Avenue and only two blocks from the famous boardwalk. Atlantic City, N. J.

Ramsey proprietor of the New World Cabaret entertained the Whitman Sisters troupe at a Midnight Gambol held at the New World last Thursday night. After the performance at the Savoy Theatre the entire company motored to the popular cabaret and was welcomed by a large crowd of friends. Several members of the company contributed a bit to the well-planned entertainment. The whole affair was jovial, everybody seemed quite filled with merriment until the approachment of daylight. "Some burglars got into the house last night, bound me to a chair, and gagged me." "Then what did you do?" "I sat around all night and chewed the rag." "Weeping Willie" wants to know why it is that the fast women get home later than the slow ones. In sternest tones, I'd call "Miss Jones," And then—guess what I'd do! "In the olden days we used to look for dimples in a girl's cheeks; now we look for them in their knees." Miss Zadie Jackson was just too bad with Rang Tang last week at the Apollo. Earl West, why try to be so fast? The Rang Tang lady had your water on at the New World. Better quit, that stuff don't work. Lorraine, what's wrong? Didn't Russell see you enough? Ask the girl in Pittsburgh why. Bill Ramsey knows how to entertain alright, and a good sport at that.

Repeatedly broadcasting over station WPG has gained for the Pleasantville High School Octette much popularity. The octette gave a recital at St. Paul M. E.

The combination is headed by Jacob Scott and consists of Hayward Fields, Austin Martin, George Dickerson, Richard Kane, Quentin Robinson and Lawrence Evans. They are well known to radio fans. L.

The Fourth Ward Women's Republican Club is giving a series of whist parties to be held every week. There was a splendid gathering at the last one held at 2011 Grant Ave. The Whitman Sisters played to large audiences at the Savoy Theatre here last week despite the fact that Rang Tang was at the Apollo. The Whitman Sisters ran true to form, excellent singing, comedy and dancing. Outstanding feature of the performance was the splendid dancing of the two boys, each said to be eight years old. There was a Midnight Ramble Friday ATIC CITY MAN'S PLAYGROUND E. D. Roberts INSURANCE BLDG. Hershaw has to say about Atlantic night, and the troupe left for Philadelphia Monday. Miller and Lyles drew great crowds to the Apolla Theatre last week. It was indeed a busy week for theatre-goers and so many were puzzled to know which show to visit first, on account of the appearance of the Whitman Sisters at the Savoy Theatre; to them it was a real "doubleheader." Rang Tang was splendid. Singing was superb, costumes excellent, dancing was good and the comedy unsurpassed. Under the auspices of the Allied Veterans, the Tri-Hi Social Club gave a novel Musical Revue and comedy sketch entitled "From Dixie to Harlem," at the All-Wars Memorial Home last week. Many local talents appeared on the program which was made up as follows: "Dixieland," by company; "Southland," by Eilzabeth Campbell; "Muddy Water," by Ida Mav and Company; soft shoe dancing by Mitchell & Waters; comedy sketch by Clarence Gregory; "Senorita Mine" by Ida May; Spanish dance by Fannie Freeman; Argentine tango by Watkins & Mitchell; Bull Fight by Jerome Carpenter; specialty dance by Mack Spain; comedy sketch by Clarence Gregory; solo, "The Wanderer," by Ida May; "So Blue" by Pauline Blue; "Ain't She Sweet," by Spain & Girls; quartet selection by the Tri-Hi Four; Novelty dance by F.

The New Club Alabama threw open its doors to the public last Thursday night with "Gob Gob Charlie" as its manager. The big bill presented by Charles Williams consisted of Mattie Hite Austin, Charles Yock Budd, Eva Hamilton and Eddie Cushingberry, one of the most wonderful female impersonators of this age. The New Club is located at 201 N. North Carolina Ave., and is opened every night with lively entertainers and dancing. The same bill will continue each night.

The fact is there are a lot of people down this way leaving for where the woodkine twineth no more on account of bootleggers not being able to get the "death" out of the commercial alcohol. On account of which I had to go to Penneman and Brown to have each and every one of my drinks tested. This naturally kept me running back and forwards all the time for which reason I could not let you know what it is all about. The sting of death is now somewhat straightened, so I am again on hand to let you know who is who in the Monumental City. BILLIOUS From B Dear Bill: I MISSED you last week there are a lot of people down the woodkine twineth no more not being able to get the "o alcohol. On account of whi and Brown to have each and ed. This naturally kept me in the time for which reason I it is all about. The sting straightened, so I am again is who in the Monumental O WHILE it is true people have stopped "cracking" about the Murphy marriage, yet there is an undercurrent which carries a lot of silt to the sea, as you know what under current will do. To date, no one has been able to stop an under current. Possibly they will impede its progress for a while but like the little rill it rolls on into a larger stream. Personally I don't think people should talk because no one knows when they will be embarrassed. The world will roll on and there are any amount of embarrassments in store for all of us. Of course this does not help Mr. George Murphy when all of the teachers in his school are laughing up their sleeves at him. I am sorry for Mr. Murphy, he is such a "wise" man. HOWEVER, a widow of not a few months standing is attracting some of the attention from him. It appears the young lady's husband died a few months ago and while she loved him ever so much and even though his memory lingered in her mind, she was so swept off her feet by a visitor who came to town, she married him. This fellow had nothing but a sweet disposition, bucks and rumors of bucks. He made love like the Washington Tornado and like one of the Washington Buildings, the widow fell. Shortly she was married in spite of all the talk of the neighbors. The neighbors felt that if any rich man was to be led up to the "halter" by a woman in the block, it should be Mrs. Jennie C. Jones who has had much experience in this line. But they forget to consider that Madam Jones examines an article too closely before she receives it. The chances are she "smoked" the dude over and let him go on his way further up the block. At any rate, the other widow married him after he had bought a great mansion.

If he is good they will take off ten years for good behavior. IF you remember the last time I wrote you I told you if you had any legal business to be attended to in Baltimore, to let me know and I would refer the same to J. Stewart and Davis himself and attorney at law. Now I might mention if you have any, hold it for a few weeks as the victor in the Streff silver case had a slight accident the other morning. It appears that he slipped down the steps one morning this week around four o'clock and fractured his hip. At present he is resting comfortably in Johns Hopkins hospital and may be out within the next month. Whether he was going up or cmoing down when he slipped has not been found out yet. THE night before the morning when his "Honry" Judge Davis slipped and fell and was fractured, the Solita Club held its annual shoe round at the new Elks' Auditorium. There were about a hundred and fifty present. Ike Dixon's Orchestra furnished the music and a good time was had by all. There ing in the event other than the appearance of Mr. Tolson in full dress suit and a pair of white sports. I shouldn't have mentioned this, however, as he probably thought it was Hallowe'en night. I might mention, however, one of the members of the clubs put her husband, Mr. Jerome Credit, in the cloak room to check the wraps, which was cruel when it is considered how badly he was needed on the floor, for it seems the ladies lost all sense of proportion in inviting people. There were at least five women to every man and two out of every five of the women were pushing fifty with both shoulders. After the dance quite a few of the invited quests an dsome of the clubs adjourned to the clubs' Arabia, where they were glad to find out that the human hand grenate "Bill Stewart" had been ejected some few minutes before their arrival. SPEAKING of the clubs Arabia, there was to have been a million dollar party there the same night in honor of Miss "Billy" Cain. Mr. Edmund Bernard Taylor was to have been the host, but for some reason neither put in their appearance. Mr. Taylor had been laying plans and giving out invitations for this extraordinary function at least four weeks in advance. All the local invited guests were on hand but Mr. Taylor and Miss Cain and the other promised ladies of the "Show Boat" company did not show. Mr. Taylor should not do this sort of thing as there were any number of invited guests present who had to spend their own money to have a pleasant evening in his absence, not to mention quite a few gentlement or brigands if you wish, who intended to "ring in" on the party. Mr. Pitts, an uninvited guest, was especially disappointed and displeased while the evening must have cost Mr. C. Major at least a dollar sixty-five. Woe be unto you, Bernard, the next time you pull this stuff. I could tell you lots more but I know you can't give me all the room. I could mention to you about Miss Constantion's friend who writes her a letter and addresses her as "Dear Substantia," but I barddly think you would be interested in this ungrammatical fellow who is not satisfied with parts of speech but insists on fragments of language. Suffice it to say, however, he has some competition from two "Fereners' from Alabama who live on Modison Avenue. AT first thought the possibility seems he will not last long but when it is considered he is quite an asset where Miss Substantia wants to see one of the first run pictures down town, his tenure of pocket may be long lived in spite of his atrocious English. By-by, from BILLIOUS. P. S.—Miss Helen Carter will be in New ork for Thanksgiving. See that she gets a square deal. NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y.

BRASS TACKS WASHINGTON, D. C. THE handsome editor of this new department of The Tattler offers his customers due apologies for his failure to appear in this pulpit last week. Before I spit on my hands and settle down to brass tacks, I want to assure my esteemed clients that they will not henceforth be deprived of my spiritual guidance. Last week, however, my presence was demanded in Richmond, Va., at a funeral—a gala occasion which I never miss. I here arise to remark that I am, more or less, a man of the world, and to boot, am an excellent judge of sound drinkables. I never tuck my napkin under my chin, am well informed on which end of a knife to shove in my mouth, and refrain from the use of chawing tobacco and perfume. Yet I find no other social event more exacting than a funeral on a man's good breeding and general demeanor. Due to a commendable privacy the pre-interment festivities, such as wakes, have no disagreeable features. There one confronts a gathering of convivial and kindred souls intent on displaying their grief in the one logical manner—that is to say, the business of getting stewed. But the more public functions are somehow trying. No discriminate gentleman would become wobby and so hopelessly bunned that he would miss the gaudy splendour of the proceedings. On the other hand one should not lay oneself open to the charge of not mourning deeply and taking it hard by appearing cold sober. The happy medium is the true test of the finished gentleman. For the benefit of those contemplating a funeral (either principal or patron) I offer my famous lecture (sent postpaid for $2.00) on what and how to drink most pleasurably at funerals. My girl friend advises me not to accept checks. She demands the cold darby. * * * LADY BE GOOD. I can bear with most anything that comes under the head of "love." And it ain't me gentlemen, but the public who is squawking on the slush floating about Doc Arthur Curtis and Lil' Eva Fitzhugh, who operates a tea-room for the o'fay. The surprising part about Doc's tough break is the assessed value of Lil' Eva. It seems that since the treaty of Versailles, that the girls believe they can follow the example of the Allies and Lil' Eva wants $20,000 for alleged wrongs of Doc and Mrs. Arthur Curtis. I do not doubt the rare talents of Lil' Eva, and am willing to concede that Po' Arthur is a high-powered man when his love is on him, but for the benefit of visiting friends I maintain a few confidential phone numbers where a man can go and have a perfectly gorgeous evening and come up with change from a ten dollar bill, and the gals are not half bad. While I boast that I am a learned professor of "what its all about," I confess that love at twenty grand a smack looked like the fifth ace in a stud session which was touted as strictly a "muscle" game. In fact the only sensible thing I ever heard about love was told to Bob Goodoe in Chicago when a friend told him that "women have been known to fall for monkeys." There are moods in which a man sitting on five berries will promise his girl friend the Capitol Dome, and toss in the gold ceiling of the Library of Congress for good measure. And it is well-known that any solvent gentleman can be "sent out" for a winter wardrobe, but these things must stop somewhere, or else a poor man wouldn't have a chance, and I think $20,000 is a good place to stop. It seems that Doc in one of his "good feel- THE INTER-STATE TÁTTLER TACKS :: BINGTON, D. C. In this new department of The Farmers due apologies for his spit last week. Before I spit down to brass tacks, I want to know that they will not henceforth guidance. Last week, however, in Richmond, Va., at a funeral never miss. I here arise to re-visit, a man of the world, and to hear of sound drinkables. I never know, am well informed on which my mouth, and refrain from the perfume. Yet I find no other than a funeral on a man's good honor. Due to a commendable activities, such as wakes, have there one confronts a gathering of its intent on displaying their anger—that is to say, the busi-ness the more public functions are intimate gentleman would be very bunned that he would miss proceedings. On the other hand, I open to the charge of not being it hard by appearing cold as the true test of the finished --- ing moods promised Lil' Eva to sneak out of the holy bonds of matrimony, and make her the wife of a bona fide doctor. When a colored woman sets out to be a doctor's wife she is not to be fooled with. Chiroproctor, chiropodits, witch or divine doctor would do pretty well, but here was a genuine dyed-in-the-wool "pulse grabber" and Lil' Eva was hot for business. This good news made her so generous that straightway she began digging down into the tea room cash box and sliding Doc a few berries hither and thither to help him along. Or at least, so they say. Meanwhile Doc discovers that he had better hang around home a little more and lay out some protection in that quarter. For a little while Doc thought everything was going to be "copo," but Lil' Eva started wiggling under the strain. Her first squawk was for the return of her bucks. That didn't sound like good business to Doc and the anguish was more than he could bear. So he held on with one eye on the old homestead, while trying to talk "turkey" to Lil' Eva out of the corner of his mouth. And along about here things picked up. Lil' Eva bounced into Doc's office with malice in her heart. She drew fists on the Doctor, smashed up his good instruments, and flung carbolic acid about in a scandalous reckless manner. Doc, at this point, felt very hurt by the way Lil' Eva was carrying on and to show how deeply he felt about the matter, he rared back on his dignity and laid violent hands on Lil' Eva. By that time Mrs. Doc Curtis had joined the fracas, and it is alleged that Lil' Eva was "double banked" and that her anatomy received fisticuffs and well-placed boots, until sitting was no longer a joy to her. Now their soiled linen will be aired out in the courts, both sides coming up with eminent legal aid. Miss Eva Fitzhugh is under $500 bond to keep the peace, Doc claiming that she threatened him with bodily harm. Lil' Eva met that blow by suing Doc and Mrs. Helen Curtis for $10,000 each. And Washington society views the spectacle for nothing.

On Friday evening, November 18th, the Rainbow Tennis Club of Nepperham Heights staged its annual fall dance at the Masonic Temple located at 5 Cottage Place.
