MR. VARE SHOULD BE SEATED YEAR AGO Congressman William S. Vare submitted himself to the voters of the sovereign state of Pennsylvania as a candidate for the United States Senate. Although he did not have the full support of his party organization his home city, Philadelphia, gave him a majority of more than 150,000, which enabled him to carry the state by a handsome plurality. His victory was obviously a popular one with the plain people of his state but it was far from pleasing to various groups and cliques with special interests at stake. Mr. Vare has worked his way up from the masses which fact excludes him from the approval of the Mellons and other first families of Pennsylvania who would prefer to see the state represented in the Senate by an aristocrat. Mr. Vare is a dripping wet which fact earns him the opposition of the dry fanatics in and out of Pennsylvania. For various other reasons the labor unions were not so elated over his election, the Liberals were shocked by it and the Democratic Senators from the South recoiled from it with righteous indignation. The Mellons and their allies have accepted Mr. Vare's election with the stoicism becoming to aristocrats but the other factions, especially the Drys, the Liberals and the Southern Senators have united in a bitter war to bar him from the Senate, charging that Mr. Vare won his election by wholesale corruption of the voters. Politics makes peculiar allies. We will not mention the Drys, for they will stand for any kind of knavery so long as a candidate promises to support the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act. But what about the Liberals with their passion for political purity? They must know that the only way Mr. Vare can be prevented from taking his seat is by the votes of Senators who are themselves in office as a result of unconstitutional and crooked elections. If Mr. Vare, as his enemies allege, lured voters to the polls with mony and liquor, practically every Southern Senator who will vote to bar him, won his election by frightening voters away from the polls with tar, feathers and shotguns. Zero districts of Philadelphia can be matched by zero districts in Texas where the polls were not even open on election day. Are the Liberals prepared to argue that winning an election by violence is holier than winning an lection by bribery? Are they prepared to maintain that Southern Senators who were illegally elected are now competent to sit in judgment on Mr. Vare's political virtue? If there is something in the atmosphere of the Senate that maks a corrupt man pure, why shut the door of Salvation in Mr. Vare's face? Would it not be sweeter to permit him to take his seat in the Senate and learn the error of his former ways—until the time comes to seek re-election? We urge the Liberals to ponder these things. The fight against Mr. Vare is not a mere academic issue. It has an important relation to the political transition that is occurring in the United States and it has a special bearing on the political destiny of Negro citizens. For the present we are interested only in its latter significance. The people of Pennsylvania want Mr. Vare to sit in the Senate. In the elections held a fortnight ago the people of Philadelphia gave him a vote of confidence by electing his candidate for mayor to the tune of a 140,000 majority. If Mr. Vare is barred from the Senate the original vote which elected him and the more recent vote of confidence will be nullified. The people of Pennsylvania will be deprived of one-half their representation in the senate and temporarily disfrancihsed. If Southern Senators can disfranchise the voters of one northern state on one pretext they can disfranchise the voters of another northern state on another pretext. For example, thousands of colored voters have enfranchised themselves by moving from the South to the North. If Southern senators can set a precedent by keeping Mr. Vare out of the senate, what is to prevent them from raising the cry of corruption and colonization when some state in which colored voters have a balance of power elects a Senator not acceptable to the Southern Bourbons The result will be that Negro voters in the North will be disfranchised almost as effectively as they are in the South. Every colored community that helped to elect a United States Senator should urge him to vote for the seating of Senator Vare. This goes for the voters of Harlem who helped elect Senators Copeland and Wagner. Walk That Broad The Uptodn New Yorker is definitely decided upon one thing at least. There are more beautiful creatures in Harlem than in any other of the Nation's communities. This condition was forcibly brought to my attention last Christmas in Chicago. The affairs in Quakertown last week have not altered my opinion in any degree. It must be admitted, nevertheless, that Miss Philadelphia, Miss Washington, Miss Baltimore, Miss Richmond and even Miss St. Louis are not Mistakes when it comes to matriculating in the class that just won't quit. These ladies, however, are of the Afro-Nordic persuasion with a weak dilution of Afro element; they are blonds, auburns and chestnuts. Although my wife has been possessed with a strong conviction that my chief gentlemanly quality has been my untiring preference for blonds, the truth of the issue is that my leaning is toward the Latin type. It is the olive, the seal brown and the golden brown who threaten my blood pressure, and not the Scandinavian. New York's forte lies in browns. They are incomparable. Proof that they are native lies in the fact that beauty is at its ebb when summer students are at Columbia and at its peak in winter when they have taken the b. b.'s outside. And above all things don't forget that Mlle. Ruth Walkaire who is tres jolie even on the Monmarte was borne right here in li'l ol' New York. The Snake Dance For the past four years the Uptown New Yorker has been taking rather unsuccessfully the Keeley cure for a very bad habit—the Howard-Lincoln game. Like all habits its proportions of asinnity are overwhelming. Most habits give the addict a run for his money. The happy dust sniffer undoubtedly experiences actual if temporary ecstasy. The Howard-Lincoln game victim, on the other hand, receives the after effects without the stage of exhilaration. There has been a steady deterioration of the stimulating effects for the past four years as regards the beauty of the female representatives, the excelence of the liquor, the enthusiasm of the rabble and the hospitality of the social committees. Although Howard came in on the large end of the 20-0 score the blase Washingtonians did not see the advisability of wagging their three racoon coats across the girdiron in the customary snake rite. In fact the only thrill we got out of the entire episode was our initial dash in the old bus through the new vehicular tube. The Nordic Storms Through Harlem The Uptown New Yorkers who were fortunate enough to be on the Avenue Saturday last witnessed the original Big Parade. There can be but silight doubt if our sky pilots would only portray heaven as Seventh Avenue looked just before and after that old Army game that the churches would be over run with shleks, cake eaters and butter and egg men. In fact after seeing what Rolls Royces, Minervas, Isotta Headlines and Table Talk A WEEKLY SURVEY OF THE WORLD WEST INDIAN BLUES MARCUS GARVEY, who Africa, Director-General, Grand Thingumbob provement Association, has agency by Mr. Calvin Coolidge, States.

He’s gwine to J MARCUS GARVEY, whilom Provisional President of Africa, Director-General of the Black Star Line and Grand Thingumbob of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has been extended executive clemency by Mr. Calvin Coolidge, merely President of the United States. Marcus, le sable, has not only been pardoned from Atlanta penitentiary, he has also been pardoned from the country. The chief immigration inspector for the District of Georgia has been instructed to escort him to New Orleans or New York and deposit him on the first convenient ship bound for the West Indies. Thereafter Dr. Marcus will be at liberty to roam the wide world at will, so long as he does not roam within three miles of the American coast line. We are glad Mr. Garvey has been pardoned. We are sorry to see him deported. In his heyday, Marcus did a grat deal to enliven life in Harlem, he did a great deal more of lasting benefit to Negro race consciousness and race pride, and he certainly added more than a mite to the gaycity of the Nation at large. He gave Harlem the most exciting oratory and the gaudiest street parades it has ever seen. During his trial for misuse of the mails he assumed the role of counsel for himself and thus ushered in the clown show era of jurisprudence. Although l'emperor has practically no S. A. to speak of he made his trial quite as colorful as the trial of Mrs. Ruth Snyder and it far outclassed such subsequent legal divertisements as the Ford-Shapiro trial, the Fall-Sinclair trial and the Dempsey-Kearns-Rickard juridical farce. Only the lack of the feminine element and the consequent dearth of bawdy jokes prevented his trial from being a super-attraction like the Rhinelander and Daddy Browning cases. The country owes him something for that. All levity aside, we think Marcus Garvey exerted a more wholesome influence on the destiny of Aframericans than most of the organizations which opposed him. In spite of his intellectual imbecility he was emotionally sound and if his program was not as diplomatic as the program of the give-me gents of other welfare organizations it was certainly more self-respecting and courageous than theirs. It's a crying shame that he must go. All together boys—West Indian Blues!!! All join in the chorus and bear down on minors. He's gwine to Jamaica. THIS gem of superfine imbecility was contributed to the world's gaiety by O. O. McIntyre through the columns of the erudite New York American, "the paper for people who think." HARLEM'S Black Bolt is still in mourning for its most distinguished daughter, Florence Mills, who had New York, London, and Paris at her feet singing her wistful song, "I'm a Little Blackbird, Lookng for a Bluebird." Almost white, with straight hair and scarcely noticeable negroid features, the comedienne cast her lost with colored folk. As she once used to say on the stage: "A woman is only a woman, but Flodence Mills is a smoke." Sound off. All together men, SOME - -! MR. NEWTON D. BAKER, war time Secretary of War and a shining light in the congregation of the Liberals comments on the Chicago election that put Mayor Thompson in office. He says: "In Chicago a flaming demagogue organized the ignorance of that city, in the form of 300,000 or 400.000 blacks and took over the municipal government." IN other words, Mr. Baker would say that the Ignorance of Chicago is confined to the colored area. It seems to us that what's eating Brother Baker is not the ignorance of the Chicago Negroes but their sensible way of resenting gratuitous insults. During the campaign in question, Dever, the candidate Frachlinis, Fiats, Pugeots, really could haul me and my shadow have had quite some discussion about reviving a previous paragraph. NIGHT HAWK.

He was for fair play, good government and all those abstract things Newton Baker stands for. Hale Thompson, his opponent, did not deal in generalities. He made concrete promises of what he intended to do if elected and challenged Mr. Dever to state whether or not he would do those same things. Mr. Dever stuck to his generalities. Mr. Dever's supporters, however, did not stick to generalities when they came to discussing the part the Negro vote was likely to play in the election. They stigmatized the colored voters as so many ignorant criminals. The colored voters retaliated by voting en bloc for Hale Thompson. That was the only self-respecting thing they could do. WHEN a man or his friends goes out of his way to insult any group the only sensible and manly thing for that group to do is to resent the insult. Negroes can be relied on to do that. Such an attitude is not ignorance but courage. A theoretical square deal has no value. It is square acts that count. If we ever have to choose between voting for a Christian idealist who insults us and a gangster who does not we will vote for the gangster. If we do not then it will be the Christian duty of the idealist to give us a swift kick in the pants. German efficiency is again demonstrated by the action of the City Council of Brandenburg. To make it easier for park spooners to make dates to meet on particular benches the authorities have ordered the name of a famous German poet painted on each bench rage euros oe i| SOCIAL SNAPSHOTS AYOW that the Game is over and — WhO TORS DEVE POLUurmeu BoMme with colds, headaches, bags of soiled and ruined clothes, empty pocket books and that dead-tired feeling, the consensus of ‘opinion is—“I wish I’d stayed at home.” Or as Julian Rainey, who had mo- tered down from Boston, put it, “Thank goodness, I don’t have. to do that again.” And that after weeks of planning on the part of those who came in for the game and those who spent no end of time (and at least some money) to entertain the visitors. * * * As for the game itself, everybody seems to feel that on the whole it was far superior to those of previous years; that both the Ho- ward and Lincoln teams played well, did some nifty tackling and that Howard got the breaks.

Very beautiful but not so gay. sateen OO e 8 & All the subscription dances were packed and jammed. So many people complained that they couldn’t get in anywhere. Duke El. lington .and his Washingtonians and Fletcher Henderson and his original Roseland Orchestra, with all the local talent available were pressed into service for the count- less parties. & = * On Thursday the Frogs had a formal dance, the Japelma’s a group of younger women had an informal dance and Les Amis Club teok advantage of the twenty thousand to give a benefit at the Club Alabam for Mercy Hospital. *= ¢ & On Friday the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority had open house at the Y.

Her host of friends kept her room filled with flowers and cards of cheer and she sends her thanks for the messages of smypathy that helped her to fight back. Friday night saw the formal opening of the Greenwich Village activities with a Cotton Ball at the historic Webster Hall. The first surprise came immediately upon getting within a block of the place. A very smart electric sign flashed Webster Hall from a building that I knew to be the right one and that was a shock. * * * « But it in no way prepared me for what was to follow. Dim, dusty Webster Hall that has been the playground of countless Village habitues and with which I always associate artistic poverty and charming tatters, is no more. +. * * Gone are the hangings from past Congo balls and tables stained by innumerable rounds of drinks.

Poxes are still $15 with a per capita tax of $2.50 in advance and $3.50 at the door. Naturally the necessary arrangements were made with Jimmy Harriss, and our tickets left at the box office. so *¢ * Of the Harlemites who play both up and down town there were Catherine Johnson, Harold Jack- man, A’Lelia Walker, Carlotta Grant, Eloise Walker, Lloyd Thomas, Aiken Pope, McCleary Stinnette, Alphonse Tribie, Adam Powell and the Dismonds, and from Brooklyn Dorothy and Sidney Peterson and the Raineys of Bos- ton. *. * * Some gorgeous costumes were out—the most beautiful girl in an extremely short white ballet dress with bare legs, arms and shoul- cers; any number of Asiatics, exo- tic and sensous in reds and yel- lows; and the usual gang of pirates, harem queens, Apaches and art students. The most noticeable feature was the predominance of brown powder. **~_ * * And the music was out of this world. Vernon Andrades from the Renaissance Casino played all eve- ning and Charley Buchanan brought Fess Williams and his or- chestra from the Savoy as an added attraction for a hot half hour. * £ s A team of jazz dancers and an eccentric single did the “expected good hoofing” that set the Villagers on ears.

They returned to Harlem Friday to take in Sacha Hourwich’s party and the cotton ball in the village; saw the Shan- nons of Broadway Saturday and bad dinner on the East Side with the Castros. They left Sunday morning after I had, thrown to- gether a most indifferent breakfast for them, with indigestion, weary feet and happy hearts. They said they had a good time.

Her hostess on the flying trip was Evelyn Laney who motored her over to the game and set up their headquarters at the New Douglass Hotel. While in Philly William Hawkins escoretd her to the game and had a dinner party at the Marietts Tea Room in her honor; she took in the Japelma formal, the Hobson Reynolds Annual Drop In and the Les Amis cabaret party. When she got back to New York there was a cabaret party at Bamboo Inn for her, a dinner on the East Side at the Castros, a theater party at the Martin Beck and a farewell dinner Sunday afternoon at Miss Laney's. Of course that is worth stepping over for but why the hurry. * * * On Saturday afternoon at the International House Mrs. Ruth Roberts, whose husband was recently appointed on the Board of Trustees of Lincoln University, and Mrs. Gladys Walton, whose husband was given an honorary degree by Lincoln, are sponsoring a five hundred and whist party for the Alumni Association of Lincoln.

When they departed, there remained to tell the tale of past granduer only tomato stains and dead soldiers. * * * The New Negro Art Theater, formerly the Sekondi Players, were presented in a lyric program Tuesday evening at the Elks Imperial Hall by the Pierce Butler Tompkins Memorial Association of St. James Presbyterian Church for the benefit of the St. James building fund. The program was similar to that used for the formal opening of the theater and included solos by Josephine Heatman, Mae Lee, Oliva Moore, James E. Trotman, dramatic readings by Robert J. Douglas, instrumental solos by Hugo Bourm, Vachel Lindsey's Congo which was chanted by Albert W. Patrick and the farce "He Said She Caid," using Jacon Adams, Sybil Bryant Poston, Ardelle Mitchell Dabney and Mae Lee. The entire program, which was under the personal direction of Hemsley Winfield, was followed by dancing to the tunes of Nappy's incomparable orchestra. * * * Miss Layle Lane, who was recently returned from several years in Haiti, will be the principal speaker at the People's Forum of the West 135th Street Y. M. C. A. on Friday. In addition to Miss Lane's address there will be a mus cal program by a group of native Haitians. * * * Mary McLeod Bethune will represent the National Association of Colored Women at the Waldorf Astoria during the National Council of Women from the fifth to the tenth of December. And no group will have a more brilliant or cultured spokesman. * * * Noah D. Thompson, business manager of Opportunity, has been selected to head a committee to solicit a fund for a concrete expression of appreciation for T. Thomas Fortune's contribution to Negro Journalism. Each newspaper in addition to individuals will be asked to contribute and J. Finley Wilson, inbehalf of the Washington Eagle, pledged the first subscription for whatever sum the committee decided upon. * * * Miss Elsie Kornmann, principal of P. S. 113, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Junior High School, has been receiving no end of praise from her teachers—Ann Cox Green, Eloise Carey Bishop, Jessie Fauset, Maybelle Balard and Vivian Roberts. This year she is putting particular stress on extra curriculum activities and has organized some splendid clubs to meet the needs of her girl students. There are Visual Aid, Orchestra, Glee. French, Music Appreciation and Christmas Clubs that furnish worthwhile interests for our girls from eleven to sixteen. * * * Dr. Wilis Cummings was showing his professional and fraternity brother from Chicago, Dr. R. R. Church, the why and wherefore of Harlem last Sunday. Dr. Church, whose wife is the beautiful Clementine Yerby Church, was among the Chicagoans who came East for the game. * * * The intriguing Earl Dickerson had planned to turn New York every sort of way but loose, but on arriving at the Pennsylvania Saturday he found a telegram which read, "Urgent business. Return to your office at once." And so his holiday was abruptly ended. *** Don't fail to attend the VICTORY MEETING to be held Thursday, December 1st, at Abyssinian Baptist Church under the auspices or the Community Forum of the church. Special music will be rendered at this meeting and the principal speaker will be Bert M. Roddy, National Organizer of the National Negro Business League. ★ ★ ★ With the marriage of Miss Catherine Bradley of 36 Marlin Place to Mr. Robert Roosevelt Brooks, of 24 West 75th Street, two of New York's oldest families were joined in Holy Wedlock. Bethal M. E. Church in West 132nd Street was filled with many friends of the pair who witnessed the ceremony and wished the couple God-speed on their journey upon the none too smoooth matrimonial seas. * * * The A Cube had its annual party last Tuesday at the home of Miss Agnes Wells with Albert "Nappy" Napoleon in possession of the piano. Among the guests were Gladys Armstrong, Claudia Davis, Irene Spriggs, Hazel Brooks, Thelma Cotton, Mildred Brown Breach, Lenore Cunningham, The Boyd sisters, Earl Paris, Joseph Oriental Pillow & Shade Shop Quinn, William Reid, H. Maxwell, Herbert Dudley, Alvin Carsten, Joseph Crawley, Hugh Lopez, Drs. Brooks and Rudloph Lanceless and Attorney Miles Page. * * * Charles H. Jones entertained a number of friends at a Venetian party held in his studio apartment in. West Fifty-third Street Sunday evening in honor of W. P. Stallings of Atlantic City who was visiting relatives here. It was indeed a sociable affair which lasted until the early hours of a new day. * * * The Carlton Trio, fashion boys and girls of Brooklyn, were entertained on Thanksgiving evening by two of their members, Mr. Gladstone Boxill and Miss Isabel Lopez at the former's residence, 412 Adelphi Street.

A song that he composed himself about Marie and the Unknown Soldier took like wild fire. Viola McCoy sings and shakes her own to perfection. Even though she is singing blues stuff she sings it instead of gurgling it. And that Bert Howell and his uke—well, words fail me. He is sweet—Oh, My! Of course Cora Green is Cora Green and that's saying a plenty. She always was pretty, beautifully dressd and could sing out of this world, and is still all that. "Love Is Always On My Mind" was my favorite of her offerings this week. She appears in a gorgeous silver cloth dress with a touch of bluish green and silver slippers; and that Hamtree—if he hasn't put all the collegiates in the shade.

Since the rise in popularity of floor shows, in which you couldn't be heard if you could sing and if you tried, the smoke would choke you in no time, the musical revues on the Avenue haven't paid much attention to the singing end of the business. I admit that a good looking chorus doesn't make me angry and that I can enjoy a wiggle or so, but after all why overwork the eyes and give the ears no exercise. Nothing puts me in a pleasant and receptive frame of mind any quicker than a mellow song or two; and I must be that average woman from Duluque because Cecil Rivers, Bert Howell, Ernest Whitman, Florence Brown and Viola McCoy suited me down to the bricks and everybody else in the house. Cecil Rivers has what is called on the street a trick tenor voice. It is as soothing as the proverbial Castoria and here is one baby that will cry for it. In addition to his marvelous voice, he has the manner and personality to set it off. Florence Brown (Brown is certainly an appropriate name for her) is the lady with a contralto voice that does things to you, and with her figure—well, some people get all the breaks.

IN spite of sixteen hard-working chorus girls and a new specialty act this week, Tim Moore continues to be the favorite at the Alhambra. He is greeted by the wildest applause, gets a laugh a minute and must return again and again before his audience will part with him. And he justly deserves the appreciation that he gets. His bits are humorous, well worked out and snappy, with some clever psychology tucked away between smiles, but his jokes never cross the border.

You notice I haven't mentioned the chorus. To tell the truth didn't think much of it except that it was well dressed and had one perfectly beautiful dark brown girl in it.

After all they are very temperamental; so the night you see them their slogan may be "Never no stop."

A LA BURLESQUE Burlesque in its happiest vein, is assured patrons of the Harlem Music Hall, beginning Monday, when Carrie Finnell, the girl with the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Legs and her Red-Haired beauties will appear. Carrie Finnell is as much an institution in burlesque as Henry Ford is in the automobile world. Both names mean so much, by giving the public a great deal for very little money. Miss Finnell is credited with having the most pretentious show on the circuit. In disclosing those pedal extremeties of hers that have been the envy of the fair sex and the admiration of the sterner sex, she just naturally adds to the compelling alurements of the performance. Benny Moore, the funny little wop, is her chief funmaker and Billy Gordon, an eccentric comedian.; Sidney Pressen and Russell Smith, two clever comedians; Helen Renoir, the pepper-box scubrette; Bea Moore, the bundle of pep; Peggy Smith the auburn flash and Mickey Dale, the diminutive songstress, all aid her in her endeavor to give the sixteen red-headed choristers ample scope and opportunity to appear frequently in startling garments and at other times to merely disclose their physical endowments with discriminating artistry and grace.

He even more poetry in the Gettysbu coln than there is in most o rary poetic clan. Poetry it seems is the adequate expression of a true pearl of sentiment or a real outcry of the soul, in a manner that is both effective and beautiful. This may be done in a number of ways. It does not at all matter whether there is meter, or rhyme or any other set medium so long as there is sublimity of thought, and also rythm which is necessary to thought as well as to literature. Life itself is rythmical, and our very movements are rythmic. One famous person has said that the soul of man is inseparably linked with rhythm. So inseparably is man's soul rapt with rhythm that there is what is known as the poetry of motion, expressed in the dance. In other words there is poetry in the very movement of the body. There is the rhythm of the spheres, from which the real poetic souls have heard the music of the spheres. Life is not altogether a jarr. There is distilled from all the movement and all the hurry and bustle of multifarious activity, a certain wine that might readily be accepted as the vintage of purest rarity. We had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Max Bodenheim the famous young poet of this great city, read one of his latest output called "Jazz Music", and really there was something in it that arrested us. There can be no doubt that each succeeding generation does leave its impress on the literary output of its time, and with all the ranting against Jazz and the contribution of the young spirits to the world's expressive movements, there is certainly coming something from it all that will be lasting. In other words it pays to be yourself. Which perhaps i twould not be possible for most of us to be otherwise, although in humanity is left some of the primate, which leads to imitation. In a community called the Mecca of Afra-American culture there probably should be more adhesion in matters of nominal aesthetic output. Toward a movement of this type we have labored somewhat, and have hoped for such a fruition. There have been some efforts at unity among some of the younger workers in this field, and there is hope that a working basis for cooperation can be reached. However the real telling effect will come forth when there is also an appreciation namong the rank and file of people who are interested in better writing, better usic, better theatres, will somewhat bttr support this type of work. It isn't so much that converts to this type of thing can be so readily won. We can't look for revivals in Art, like revivals in religion. But it is rather that those already in the movement shall open up the purse-string, and open --- HENEVER fire, flood, cyclone or other devastating act of God destroys a thriving city or lays waste a fair countryside, leaving the stricken inhabitants grieving over their dead, weeping over their maimed and facing hunger and desease—whenever and wherever humanity is afflicted or threatened by misfortune—the colored actor is always the first to volunteer for the work of rescue and relief.

EVA JESSYE'S SINGERS Eva Jessye, director of the Original Dixie Jubilee Singer and author of "My Spirituals" has added another feather to her cap. She has two groups of singers on Broadway—one at the Central with "Uncle Tom's Cabin", the other at the Capitol where "In Old Kentucky" is playing. The original chorus is composed of Eloise Uggims, Muriel Battey, Lucille Dixon, soprano; Purnell Hall, Homer Smith, tenors; Eward Jones, baritone; Eva Jessye, contralto; and George Willard McClain, bass, and to augment the company in order to play both houses she has added Mrs. Oscar Baker, Monetta Moore, contralto, J. B. Brown, bass; Clement Hall, Joseph Marthern, tenors; Mr. Pallott, baritone. During the plantation and slave scenes in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" they sing back stage 'Sol' Away to Georgia", the solo part of which is taken by George McClain. "In Old Kentucky" nine of her singers appear in costume on the stage during the overture—Southern Rhapsody—to sing "My Old Kentucky Home" which is marvelously done. The realistic atmosphere that they create, however, is lost by the sandwiching in of Ruth Elder and a revue called, "Hello Ruth" and a news reel before the feature picture. This is the third Broadway theatre within the past five weeks that has used Miss Jessye's people.

(Charlie Davis, star famous developer of dancing dancers, once again turned this land to presenting a musical comedy talk revue by way of diversion and we're frank to admit that Mr. Davis uniteenth attempt, like his numerous others, was very successful. This time the continent Mr. Davis presented this "Wartiness" at the Lincoln Theater with a nicely balanced cast, good singing and comedy and snappy looking costumes. The offering opened with a bang and closed with another bang and all through the entertainment the vehicle was hitting on all six cylinders. And no wonder, for Charlie presented such capable and popular musical entertainers that insured success from the start. Emmett Anthony and Joe Byrd handled the comedy and kept their audience laughing continuously with their humorous and absurd actions and chatter. Anthony is particularly amusing because of his quaint mannerisms and his singing is highly pleasing. Byrd will make you split your sides laughing anywhere you meet him, he's so funny. Hilda Rogers, a pocket edition of Ethel Waters, just about stops the vehicle with her highly pleasing selections. This little lady is built along the lines of Miss Waters and works much like the saucy vivacious star of Africana. Her facial expression and many of her mannerisms strongly remind you of Ethel, even to her bob and the smooth velvety brown of her sinuous lithsome body. Saucy Susaye Brown in all her glamorous glory, the Melody Maids, "Frankie" Watts and Arlyne Brooks, Ida Bennett, Paul Floyd and Charlie Taylor, play prominent parts in the vehicle. A nifty dancing chorus of bronze beauties round out a nifty little musical comedy company. All in all, the entertainment is very good. Carolynne Snowden as Lily May and Stephen Fetchit as High pockets both work through "In Old Kentucky" and their acting is so superior to that of the white performers as to be almost incredible. "Kentucky" is really a mediocre picture, with their work as its only redeeming feature. H-A-S-H complain — The standards of social precedents and procedures as set by my tribe are purely original and free of everything but emptiness. This brand of social dings and undoings has steadily crept into authority, since the great catastrophe by the "much cursed" Volstead. I have no good reasons to feel that I am incorrect in my analysis of many social functions, save—with few exceptions—and if in part—a mere detail. I am tempted to believe at this day, I would not be willing to exchange my training and experience of my earlier years, as a waiter—for a brand new but naked A.B., B.S. or kindred college degree. As is, I boast I can mix any kind of drink found in The Bartenders' Guide — have tasted nearly every drink in civilized drinkery and have first-hand knowledge of their respective potency. I can further boast, in those days when I cast my lot with that of waiters, I spent my summers at Newport, R. I. under the rules and regulations of managements of The Embassy Club (100 millionaires) The Horse Show, The Fox Hunts and the much-coveted appointment of being called to their private yachts. As a trusted hireling of Metropolitan Society and a pretty fair observer, I was able to see and learn much. For the benefit of the girls and boys who have felt their maturity since the days that Jamaica Ginger, Iodine and Spirits of Nitre have become popular beverages—I must indulge, in a small way what constituted a regular evening (dinner or banquet). By way of comparison, you might agree with me as to the glorious good times of yesteryears and the excruciating social "misdoings" of today. It is needless to mention the various foodstuffs, as they are still available—although one would think there is a Prohibition Act on foods—judging from its continual scarcity and absence in the social world. But it is pleasant to review that part of American History—when one sat down to a properly thought-out "spread." With nine or more pieces of silver, there were seven or more different shaped glasses to be used and none whose purpose it was to hold water. Starting off with a cocktail, and then the first food course, a bit of claret and more "chow"—a tap of Sauternes (still wine)—the main meat or fowl, with copious draughts of Champagne, a nip of Creme de Cocoa or de Menthe or Benedictine and after your black "java" sufficient quantity of Three or Five Star Brandy to make one feel a bit toasted. This brand of "carrying on" is to my mind a most glorious reason for one to die a Dyspeptic. At this day and time, this form of social "romping" has left my mind, the suggestions I make are not of such pretentious proportions. The girls and boys of the Alumni, who lived in the larger cities before half pints became fixtures in drawing rooms and parlors, know the above to be true. I am forced to designate the boys and girls of the Alumni in the larger cities (in the East) because those who have ar- Page Eight rived from points South and West even before the Eighteenth Amendment—have suffered from a delayed condition—that is—they have been behind six months to ten years, on everything from up-to-date fashions to proper customs and good usages. I complain—from the beginning, when I gaze upon an invitation (as I have so many times) to see the strictly "Darktown" expression STRICTLY FORMAL. Instantly, I am aware there is a dominating unintelligence somewhere with "no mother to guide them." If my mind serves me rightly, one club among the alumni—The Apha Bowlings—I believe had the brazen audacity at one time to print on their invitation—"No Gentleman in Tuxedo Admitted." If this is proper they also reserve the right to ask that no men in union suits be admitted, two-piece underwear only. The Alphas are the strongest I have heard of in the civilized centers, but those words "Strictly Formal" lose none of my damnation. First, It is a reflection on a few intelligent persons whom you might have the good fortune to know and invite. Secondly, I always thought the four letters, R. S. V. P., the hour of the day and nature of the function as stated on the invitation, is self-explanatory for form of dress suitable to grace said occasion. (With intelligence granted). Sad enough, there is much we have to put up with—dealing with a majority, who cannot produce affidavits for pure and unadulterated intelligence. A host or hostess might, at anytime be thrown in a quandry for the number of guests to prepare for, and it is obvious the R. S. V. P. has meant nothing. Should your coterie of friends display this brand of "basement mentality" better it would be to send out a circular letter with all details, it would not offend this type, it would occur to them as private correspondence. Albeit, the widespread negligence of this social obligation to hosts, hostesses, clubs etc., is due to the general emptiness of past performances. And while it is quite improper—failing to respond—I find it doubly hard to censor, severely, for the great lack of interest. I feel safe to say, eighty per cent of those who produce the "Social Flings" offer almost everything one can do without. I complain—when a woman must take the earnings of a man, or her husband for that matter—and a man must find his cash or that of another to send it in the direction of a new dress, new shoes and what-not with "trimmings." To dance around a hall, perspire, with no food in sight or in doors—a limited quantity of "boarding school" punch—it's time to hesitate before spending more money on the two-cent stamp for response. It is treason to ask one to be your guest, mindful that dinner is usually served between five and six o'clock, your guests are with you from 10 P. M. until 2 A. M (four hours) and six or eight hours has expired since "bread" of any kind has been broken. It is higher treason and conducive to an unset- --- tied stomach—to offer with cakes that solution, so generally teeble from lack of alcohol — named punch. Here, I am reminded of a social offense of very recent dates. The Les Douze first birthday party. Had it received fair and impartial examination of its merits for social endeavor, it would be pronounced a Miscarriage. It seemed the air was stifling with "aloofness" and painstaking procedures. As though none had heard that God-sent colloquialism made so popular by chorus girls, "At your age, be yourself." A hot bath and evening clothes is no given indication to pile upon your guests the "straight-laced airs" of the Court of St. James. To the contrary, the atmosphere should reek with the pleasures, hilarity and unbridled mirth. But try your darnest, there is no antecedent that will provoke mirth, like ample quantities of strong drinks. If this were not true, Metropolitan Society would not use of these. And you of the Elite have had these folk as your guide since 1865 more or less. A party without strong drink is like a ship without rudder—a party without food or strong drink is "born dead." You will pardon my unsophisticated self for my travels have not extended as far as Galveston, Tex., or Rome, Ga., heretofore French pastries usually "showed up' near the end of a bonified dinner. I complain—But maybe I'm wrong, for I am not "social" and have even been accused of not being sociable. In the parlance of the Elite, the above is not swank nor is it just the smart thing to do." When a man without food and little drink tries to be pleasant—dancing with an Alumnus whose avoirdupois is literally dripping and whose alertness of ankle and toe is in no way commendable—it is to complain. To hear those terminating tunes "Home Sweet Home" is like a gift from the Diety and before you are able to break that long period of abstinence—by breaking into some restaurant, one must stay himself long enough to pass by the Hosts with his "ejaculations of gratitude. I will wager my right arm, against a beer bottle top—were the aggregate number of lies available "as to the wonderful time I had" the gorgeous evening we spent, and I never had a better time in my life") they would outnumber 'the mortality list of Mother Earths' by several billions. For several months I have kept a clear eye on the social column for some event of more than ordinary interest, and to this day and date my eye has come across one. My attention comes to one Lady Jane Best, whose acquaintance I am certain I do not enjoy. I am doubly certain, for I know of no member identified with my tribe who has been raised to the Peerage, by course of ceremony or marriage. But I suppose this lady could have any title she liked after "laying down" Chicken King, French Peas, Potato Chips, Asparagus Salad, Peach Melba, and Small Dark Coffee (Demi Tasse). It does not state the hour it was served, but it would answer for any hour past noon. It is what I consider worth dressing up for and using the words gorgeous, wonderful and extraordinary. There was not space given to decorations which spoke well for The Lady Best. With this profusion of edibles no one had Monthly Magazine/Reviews Some one said "Never judge a book by its cover." I hope some one will get up a smart saying for magazine covers. The cover for the December Crisis stands for "The Annunciation." For those folks who do not know what the Annunciation is let me explain. If you will read the Bible, Luke 1-28-38 you will find these words—28—"And the Angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou are highly favored, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women" 38—"And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me according to thy word. And the Angel departed from her." Now you may reason it out. Just why the angel holds forth a Rose (I suppose it is a rose I do not know. Maybe because every rose has a thorn. Let us now meander through the pages. We find. "As the crow flies." This month, as usual he flies over many countries but has only a few seconds to give here and there. Reminds me of the Radio speech James Weldon Johnson gave recently. He spoke with such rapidity that I could make out neither head or tail. All I remember is that he said he was afraid somebody was going to steal something or other. Following that we are confronted with a full page reproduction of a painting "St. Erasmus and St. Mauritius." One of these gentlemen is dark in color and wears white glove. He holds what appears to be an umbrella and he is trying to explain something or other to the other gentleman who is very white by contrast. What got me was the white gloves to cover up a dark complexion. Jesse Binga is sketched by Inez V. Cantey. It is an interesting character sketch and well worth reading. The only suggestion I can make, Inez, is the next time you write up anyone, finish more delicately. When you say "He is a man of stern character with an iron will and a master of the problems which confront him" you make me thing of an iron worker or a master mechanic. Surely he is everything but that. Why not say "He is a man of sterling character, firm will and able to meet conditions and problems which come to him." Be nice to your characters, Inez, not brutal. Then North Carolina Negro Common Schools. You may read that, particularly the last paragraph. "Finally it may round out the picture to remember that South Carolina lynched 13 Negroes in the last 38 years and is, next to Louisiana, the most illiterate state in the Union." For why then have we such organizations as the "Sons and Daughters of South Carolina (or is North Carolina)? Aren't they proud to belong to such a state, literally or rather illiterally speaking? Next comes the N. A. A. C. P. Battle Front. All about the publicity the N. A. A. C. P. is getting in white papers. Free releases go out right along and at the last census, it is estimated that about 10,000,000 circulation (white) were covered. Important if true! It would be interesting to see some of the time to absorb the beauties of decorations. There is far too much money thrown away in decorations a something that can be done without. The good comes out of the decorations and you are supposed to stand around and take it in by osmosis, I fancy. If it must come to the ordinary level, give them ice cream, as it contains more pure food properties than all the punch and cake in town. If you find it impossible to make this grade, just give yourself up." I Complain— THE INTERSECT LATTLE clippings and find out what position they held in the newspapers mentioned. It would be too bad if they were to be found down in an obscure corner quite invisible to the naked eye. Let us hope the will be reproduced some day that we may be convinced. And now, the big event! Prize for the infants! "Drab Rambler first prize story for 1927 won by Marita O. Bonner. Story of two portraits. The first one is not bad. It is about a Negro laborer who goes to a hospital for treatment and finds that he has a weak heart and high blood pressure. It gets sore at the young doctor, who probably had a bad cup of coffee that morning and was grouchy, and after spilling a few bitter words all over the hospital. he (the laborer) wanders forth into a very mean world. Sad. The second story is rank. In fact very rank. A working girl, handicapped by an illegitimate child, works in a steam laundry. She faints one day and finds out about a cool checking room. She stays late one night and powders herself with some illuring face powder (probably advertised in the Chicago Defender) and steps into the cool checking room where she runs into a white person of low intelligence and lower morals. Something happens there. I have to tell you about it. Read it. And for that kind of rot, Mrs. Amy E. Spingarn "expressing her faith and interest in Negro ability" gave $200. Hoy many pairs of shoes for poor kids would $200 buy? Now about the poems. I am not much on poetry and for that reason I cannot enthuse. The first prize was won for "Longings" by Mae V. Cowdery. "The Browsing Reader" reveals a number of books, first and foremost being "Portraits In Color" by Mary White Ovington. That is as it should be. Miss Ovington is chairman of the Board of Directors and is accustomed to being first. The editor of this department comments on the 1927 Intercollegiate Wonder book published in Chicago. "It represents an astonishing amount of work and must have meant the expenditure of much money." We know who put in the work. We would like to know who put up the money? "Along the color line' is very interesting. If you sh w an interest in the N. A. A. C. P. and achieve or accomplish or die, you get into the N. A. A. C. P. Color line, otherwise you just stay in line. The most interesting part of the paper this month is the story on the Hampton Strike by an Onlooker, which you will find in the "Far Horizon" and Dr. Dubofs comments on the strike in his "Postscript." The Onlooker is very sad over the whole affair and tries very hard to tell you how terribly the poor little boys and girls were treated. He says "The teachers as a body do not understand these Negro students, The Administrative Board does not understand them. Dr. Gregg does not understand them—and tragedy is that they never will." There you are. No body understands the Negro. He is a mystery and should be solved. Poor children. They have been lead astray. The white man does not understand the Negro. Ergo, Turn Hampton over to men, not white men, who do understand us. But suppose we do not understand ourselves! What then? Well ask Paul of Bible fame. He was a good logician. But Paul is dead. I give it up. Du Bois and those who travel under his banner have been trying to destroy an evil rather than to correct it. Founded by white men, Hampton is owned and conducted by white men. If the Negro does not like Hampton rule now, why does he not build an institution of his own, or raise enough money and buy Hampton and then run it to suit the King's tattest Boys will be boys. And thats all this month. Belah!

In Harlem the one sure bet is Tabb's cafe. The place is inviting to approach. It has a smart appearance from the outside which assures one that inside one will find a refectory where the art of cooking is practiced with an eye to pleasing the man who desires to eat for pleasure not merely because he happens to be hungry. "SMART" is the word that aptly describes the place. Or perhaps that newer American word "ritzy" is better. If it were not for the radio one would be tempted to employ the word "elegant." Either will suffice, for the moment you enter the door you realize you are in a metropolitan cafe and not a village eating house that happened to be misplaced in a big city. Not the least attraction of the cafe is the absence of home cooking. It has always been a source of wonder to us just why so many restaurants brag about their home cooking. It seems to us that if a man wants to eat home cooking he ought to stay there for supper. Or else get himself invited to dinner by one of his friends. Home cooking, of course, has its place in the scheme of things. Its function is to make eating from necessity afford as much pleasure as may reasonably be hoped for under the circumstances. The cheap restaurant performs the same function for hallroom lodgers and men whose wives are away in the country. The smart cafe has a different port to play. Its business is to make eating a distinct pleasure, and with that end in view it employs specialists in the arts of cooking and service. Obviously, the cuisine of the smart cafe is far superior to the cuisine of the home. The housewife is only a part time cook, dividing her time between keeping the house clean, the children in order and her husband satisfied with love. The chef of a first class hotel or restaurant is a specialist who does nothing but cook. Where the housewife is an amateur the chef is an expert. The first order in Tabb's convinces one that an expert presides over the range and steam tables. Every colored man who makes a success of anything stands in a dual capacity. He not only makes a success for himself, but he serves as an inspiration for those who are still striving. Thomas Tabb, in addition to being a first class restaurateur, is also a high culture business man. His is one of the oldest business enterprises in Harlem. While his pride is his cafe on Lenox Ave., he also owns a popular cafeteria in 132nd St. It is modern in every respect and while there are larger cafeterias to be found it is poor to any in the city when quality of food and service is in question.

It will bring almost immediate relief from the terrible suffering, and will not interfere with, but will positively assist any other treatment which your physician has prescribed. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster is not to be considered as a remedy in any sense for these organic derangements --- your physician must be consulted and his treatment taken for remedying the underlying causes. The plaster warms and soothes, and its medication at once begins to be absorbed through the skin directly to the affected parts. Its beneficial results continue as long as the plaster remains on the body. Be sure to ask for the Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. All drugists.

DANCE Saturday Nite And Sunday Matinee RENAISSANCE BALL ROOM 2 FAMOUS BANDS 2 Featuring VERNON ANDRADE'S Renaissance Orchestra Special Features PROF. CHAS. H. ANDERSON Director --- THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Beauty Secrets By Mme. Sara Washington "POWDERING PAPAS" Are men as vain as women? Such is a question that is arousing wide comment now-a-days, and a slight investigation into the realm of beauty culture reveals some startling facts. Within a short period of time men will be visiting the beauty parlor for treatments more often than women. At the present time men spend almost as much as women for cosmetics. From the estimates of an expert the American man spends $850,000,000 a year in barber shops of which $200,000,000 goes for facial massage and $250,000,000 for hair tonics. These statistics should dissuade some men from chiding the women because of their vanity. Men are rapidly becoming as much concerned as women with the care of the face. Beauty parlors are giving more attention to women's hair, while the barber shop is diverting its attention to man's face. The necessity of making a good appearance in business and at work, and the greater social activity demands greater care with personal appearance. Hence, the man frequents the barber shop and no longer pursues beauty in the privacy of his own home. They ask quite openly for lotions that are often more odorous that effective, tissue creams, mud packs, scalp treatments, hair straighteners, eye brow and mustache trims, and manicures. Faces are steamed, creamed, frapped, rubbed, pinched and patted. Electric vibrators and violet rays are esteemed valuable aids. Double chins and sagging cheeks and baggy eyes ar especially fought against. Crows feet are ironed out regularly. It is not uncommon for individual bills to range from $2.50 to $7 in de luxe barber shops. A few years ago it can be remembered when bay rum was looked upon as a dandified touch to the toilette, and powder was something unpardonable in regular men. Today, manufacturers make a specilty of mixing lotions and blending powders that will appeal to masculine customers as "manly." You would be suprised to know of the many men within your own circle who carry powder puffs. Many men before leaving home often massage a little powder in their handkerchiefs with which to powder their faces. Its becoming common for men to ask each other for the loan of the well known "lamb's wool shine remover."

As during the past ten years, this great combination social-athletic affair, proved a gala event, with the rival sections of beautiful women sporting either the blue and white of Howard or the orange and black of Lincoln. From the first kick-off, 'twas a Howard Bennie Butler Holiday, and the boys from Calvin Coolidge's domain, sensing victory, filled the air with their battle-cry of victory. The Howard backs tore great holes for long gains in the Quaker lads' defense. They crashed the line with heavy, powerful backs and while the Lincoln boys, badly handicapped in weight, battled with Spartan-like courage, the Bisons were not to be denied. Lincoln's Lions were game and fought bravely but their claws were not the claws of the lion. In fact they were more like so many tabby cats, their attack was so pitably weak. In addition to the weight handicap, their poor generalship weakened their cause. With their backs against the wall and defeat sure and certain engufing them, it seems to us that in sheer desperation they should have resorted to forward pass on every play. Their one lone hope was to get a runner loose. But instead of desperate gambling, they played as if their one purpose was to hold down the size of the score against them. But defeat is defeat whether by six pointh or sixty. Howard started out to break the heart of her ancient rival and to wear them down. Taking full advantage of the greater weight at almost every position, the Howard backs were sent crashing against the line with strategic end runs now and then for position or to vary the attack and confuse the Lincoln defense. After Captain Martin had intercepted a forward pass, Howard scored her first touchdown on nine successive plays totaling sixty-five yards. A series of penalties had much to do with holding the Howard machine in check in the first half and possibly prevented another score. But this was only temporarily and merely prevented the defeat from becoming a debacle. In this assault of the Capitol City aggregation, Smith, Ross and Ewell were sent ripping and slashing into the Quaker's line and seldom were stopped until reaching the secondary defense lines. Ross added the extra point. A well executed forward pass placed the Bisons in a position to score their second touchdown in the second quarter. With thirty-two yards to go for a first down, due to heavy penalties, Ross shot a beautiful pas to "Tick' Smith's waiting paws as he (Smith) was dropped in his tracks on the Lincoln six yard line. Then, on the next play, the dimutive Smith carried the leather oval around the Lincoln team's right en dfor another six points. Ewell made it seven crashing the line for the additional tally. Captain Martin of Howard intercepted another forward pass toward the end of the fourth period on Lincoln's thirty-five yard line and ran the distance for a touchdown, ending the scoring for the day as Ewell failed to add the extra point. Called upon so often to bolster Friday, December 2, 1927 D TRAMPLE LINCOLN BY A TO SCORE AT SHIBE PARK Vania Rivals By More Than the District of Columbia Half—Quaker Lads Fight Out-classed and Out- Superior Team 24th.—Howard University's rough-shod over Lincoln's pernoon before a Calvin Coolidge's and the air with their battle-cry kicks tore great holes for long defense. They crashed the line and while the Lincoln boys, at, battled with Spartan-like it to be denied. up the holes torn in the line, Lincoln's backs were in no physical condition for line plunging themselves and it seemed that the forward pass was the one play they should have depended on when in possession of the pigskin. Howard's triumph gave them seven wins against 10 defeats with six drawn games in the twenty-three years of play. During the past wour years, two of the games resulted in draws and two with this year, ended in oward triumphs.

CANADA LEE VS. PATSY BARBARA This coming Saturday night at the New Olympia A. C. Canada Lee meets Patsy Barbara in one of the two feature bouts of the all star card. The scrap between these two hard hitting shifty mitt slingers is sure to be a humdinger. Lee is out to redeem himself for the defeat he suffered at the hands of Harry Felix last week. Canada is anxious for a return engagement with Felix and hopes to accomplish this by tackling and defeating every boy in the junior welterweight division, thereby forcing Harry to again meet him. --- Bennie Butler CLARENCE ROBINSON MAKES FLAT DENIAL Clarence Robinson of the team of Robinson and Johnny Vigal and who has turned his hand more recently to producing theatrical revues, wishes to inform the public that he is not the Clarence Robinson who the police arrested last week in a raid on a house in West 132nd Street, New York City. The news of this raid and arrest was published in many of the daily papers and many readers believed it was the revue producer, Clarence Robinson. In fact, one or two of the news accounts said that the Clarence Robinson was a theatrical entertainer. At the time of this raid, the Clarence Robinson known to the public by way of the theater, was playing with his production, "Dance Mania" at the Standard Theater in Philadelphia, Pa. CONTEST TIGER'S WILL Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 30th.—A suit has been started by Mrs. Willie May Flowers, wife of the late Theodore (Tiger) Flowers, to break the will of the deceased fighter, who recently died in a New York Hospital following an operation on his head. The ex-middleweight champion placed his estate and savings in his baby daughter's name and Walk Miller was made the executor of it. The estate and bank accounts amounted to nearly $150,000. The Tiger's home alone was valued at $75,000 dollars and his car at $12,500. Other holdings brought this amount up to a $100,000 and there was a little over $50,000 to his credit in banks. Acording to the will, very little was left to the fighter's wife and even that little was cut off in the event of her marrying again. This has caused considerable gossip and suspicion as Flowers and his wife appeared to be on excellent terms, all during their married life. Both were devoted to their little daughter, Verna Lee Flowers who is just seven years old. The court in the preliminary action, named Mrs. Flowers the preliminary administratrix of the estate but she is barred from disposing of any of the holdings until the case comes to trial. Mrs. Flowers was highly suspicious of the will and is determined to have it fully investigated and will take every possible legal step to protect her interests in the matter. BOSTON. MASS. EUGENE S.

PENN. "SE" DAVIS. Contributor. Howdy, folks! The old pest, better known as the Tattler man, is back again to give you a thrill. It seems as though the Tattler man has been in great demand while he was absent. Evidently scandal was plentiful. Fans, lets make our Column the brightest one of them all. The only way you can do it is by sending all the news that is obtainable, whether good or bad or worst, to the Tattler man on North West Street. This news is written in a spirit of fun, and is not meant to injure anyone's character. All persons who might send news in for this column, please sign full name and address. I thank you. Mrs. Betty Jackson, who resided on West North St., is very ill at the Carlisle Hospital. The Tuttler hopes her speedy recovery. The Daughter Elks will hold their annual reception and dance on December 7th at Colonial Hall. Befort a large crowd on Biddle Field Saturday afternoon, the Carlisle Eleven defeated on a soggy and muddy field the strong Y. M. C A. team of Harrishurg, 1 to 14. The touchdowns were made by James Hodge, Arthur Price, and Robert Evans. This team, which hasn't met defeat this season, defeated the crack Hagerstown team on Armistice Day by a score of 25 to 6. The Carlisle Scholastics, a basketball team coposed of colored students of Dickinson College, journeyed to Steelton, where they played the first game of the season, and were defeated by the strong Viva Club of Steelton. The local team played well in their first game. Score, 20 to 12. Samuel Scott, we congratulate you and dear Wiley. Of course Gilbert Walker ain't no more trouble. # NEW ROGHELLE. N. Y. THE MATCHMAKER Rev. W. O. Carrington, pastor of the St. Catherine A. M. E. Zion Church, rendered a wonderful sermon last Sunday, November 27th. The subject of the sermon was "The well-dressed Soul." Mr. Brown, a member of St. Simon's Church, is talking about giving a beauty contest in that church. The winner will be given a trip to Atlantic City. This is a wells chance for some girl and we wish the contest a success. Some time ago we promised to tell you why the kids from Mt. Vernon don't come here on Sunday. Well, the reason is that they are here Saturday nights at the High School. Mary, Dorothy, Irma and Louise were the elites here last week. Last Thursday was Thanksgiving and here's some of the things we had to be thankful for: that Bill Thomas isn't married to the girl in Williamsbridge like we were told; that Claudine G. didn't have a big brother at the J. U. G. Club's party; that Flo Miller and Lee come back occasionally to give the boys the once over; that R. Boddie and G. Adams are speaking to each other once more; that Tommy Smith has the "Rick' running again so he won't have to taxi to onkers any more. Last but not least, we are thanksful C. Taylor is really in love with R. C. Speaking of love, Ed. Ayers is seen on Horton Avenue hill a lot lately. We can't say he is in love but Catherine S. surely has the Indian sign on him. There's two thinsg you don't want to miss next week and both of them will be in the Tattler. Mme. D. A.

We all learn our lesson in life sooner or later. When we have been defeated and apparently lost everything worth living for, lo and be hold, that reserve force which is part of all of us, comes forth and we glow with a new strength, a new hope, a new force. Minibelle Jones Derrick, founder of a business school in Philadelphia, is trying to come back. She will succeed because she deserves to succeed. Her hopes for tomorrow are founded on her experiences of yesterday. Minibelle (Mrs. Alonzo H. Jackson) is a daughter of the late Jas. K. Jones, a prominent attorney and one of the oldest residents of Chicago. Upon the death of Mr. Jones, her mother married the late Bishop William B. Derrick of Flushing, I, J. PETER MINNIBELLE DERRICK, founder of the Derrick Business School of Philadelphia. The woman who came back. After completing special work at Oberlin College and Columbia University, Minnibelle was appointed to the Chair of French at Wilberforce University but after teaching there about one year, the death of her father called her home. Later she engaged in social work with the National Urban League in New York City for about one year after Bishop Derrick's death. The family moved to Philadelphia in 1915 and shortly after this Miss Derrick attained the chief desire of her heart, She had always desired a Business Course and wanted to engage in business, but was always discouraged in the thought. But now, after coming to Philadelphia, she enrolled in the 30-Day Business College, the first colored student to ever be admitted there. After graduating from the school, she secured the rights to teach the "30-Day System" to colored students. Then without capital or financial help she established what is now nationally known as the Derrick Business College. The history of the Derrick School is very interesting. The American Musician recently stated the following: "After finishing her course in the "30-Day Business College", she approached the president of the college and she unanimated him by suggesting that she be allowed to teach the system to colored students. The red tape and discouragements following this request can be imagined, but nothing daunted, the young woman hummered away until, finally, she was the proud possessor of a room in which to teach, and a rented typwriter. Without capital or financial help from any sources the school was started, and for each student taught the president of the 30-Day School extorted $12. No discouragement dummed Miss Derrick, and in a few months the school had grown so that a larger room in the Transportation Building was rented and more typwriters secured. Each step from then on need not be recorded, for every few months larger quarters were leased and equipment bought and paid for from the tut KANSAS CITY SOCIETY A daughter was born to Dr. and Mrs. William J. Thompkins recently. The little fairy will respond to the name of Marion Elizabeth. We have great prospects for the little Miss an her Dad says she can even now give his College yell, which, by the way, is "Bau, Anua, Buna." Mewars, Alvin Hawkins, George Jefferson, William Perkins and John Bauknight motored through from Hampton in their "Rolls Rough" car recently. Dr, L, M, Tillman, one of Kansas City's leading physicians and a Nurgeon of no little ability, purchased a new late Iup "6" this week, and she really purrs too. Dr, Magnolia Williams, D.D.S., also an accomplished musician and student of voice culture is now the bewitching School Mu'am at Cows Lick, Ia. No trains stop there, boys. Mrs. Sarah Rector Campbell was enriched by about $400,000 this week income from oil wells, Mrs. Capbell has extensive holdings in Oklahoma and inherited a fortune from her father upon his death. She's married—read it and weep, brothers. Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Dee Appleton have just returned from a trip to the dogs at Speed, Mo. Mr. Appleton brought back a few rabbits and a possum. Mr. Collins Anderson, a sheik of greater Kansas City, has taken up to himself one of the forbidden fruits of life—a wife, Mrs. Anderson before the sad event was Miss Pauline Manley and well—one look proves he sure "knows his eggs." Those who visited their parents during the Thanksgiving holidays are Misses Nettie Westmoreland, Kansas University; Esther Clark, Lincoln University; Willa Pullman, Kansas University; Anna Jean McCampbell, Kansas University; and Gladys Cross, Nebraska University. Each young Miss is possessed with good looks, brain and culture. The Lincoln University vs. Western University football game will tion paid by the students. At last Mr. Boyd, the inventor of the system, heard of the pioneer work being done and made a special trip to visit the school, rom that time on success seemed nearer for the Derrick Business School was duly establish as one of the Boyd Chain of Schools." Last year Mrs. Jackson met, with reverses, but pulled herself together, gave us the spacious quarters in the Transportation building and secured an up-to-date building at 1832 N. 11th Street, where she now carries on.

Normally it is and Whether you believe it or not the city is programming. There are two courses at grammar progranms I must and attention be to old, Morgan College and Providence Magnet. Both of these institutions we have had with us for a long time but it has just been in late years they have been given any actual support. Both institutions have given past the "I promise you state." door fill: Provident Hospital is another institution where most days my own old a few years ago, wore law. It there now was a six month long hotel this one war, back, let's say, ten years ago. Instead you know child, that now their overwork are an arrangement they are working for more recent. And only in the place in upstreet it is what I have in town it is more "dirty" hospital. They tell me it is my highland now that they have a special improved department down there for social reasons. Can you hurt it? At any rate they are going to move up on this building recently occupied by the IS, P. I. The new place is now and has been undergoing extensive repairs and improvements. They have great big porch and on which those work-hungry latrons can be pushed, a new housing plant, a model kitchen which is said to be a sanitary wonder, an operating room with light from above, from the window and from the bottom which would be expressed in New York by simply saying "troy and hiltons" gangs of hotters, haunts, tent lakes and many hucklebs. It is said the home in the basin will have rather in them six inches thick, you won't even be able to hear the man coming Lord today. Tom Blocks in each direction signs will be posted on the mirror saying, "make my anniversary notice under penalty of law, Colored Hospital." Now, if I would go on telling you about that new building you would come on down here and get treated for alcoholism, but I don't want you to get all worked up on I won't any way more about the building. However, you know the Provident Hospital is not run like it used to be. No air. When you know of the joint it used to be a free for all adult. Any Colored doctor would wish right in, take Baltimore, Md. November 24, 1927. I am getting away from what I wanted to tell you. That is, I don't exactly want to tell you, I wanted to ask you, I wanted to ask you, I wanted to ask you for a contribution for the new building. You know we (do you get that, wait?) are interested in raising funds for the place and I think that I would assist from you. You can hand it in plausibly as there is no new registration that "truck", all the government, army honour and contribution are you need not, just ammunition. While I know you are interest in philanthropy, especially when you are the object, yet I know you want to know some of the real news. Well I can start you off pretty good. Some few days ago a young colored gentleman who is known to be a mayor for prohibition agents went into one of the swell cabarets on McCullah Street and tried or did snatch a battle of the fluid off of a table. When told not to act ugly, he said he was an agent. Some of the boys just through fun asked for his badge, whereupon he came up with a "kut" which he claimed was sufficient badge. The "stool" was a brave fellow. When they had finished sowing him up in bandages at the hospital he returned with a cap and pointed out the man who assaulted him. John law took them all up under the dock, where the next morning the alleged agent was held under one hundred dollars and the man who peoped in the gun had to put up twelve fifty-five. When the agent got well he will no doubt go over to the collage on Madison Street where he will likely have time to rehearse how to snatch. After the ensuing confusion it appears two of the entertainers and one of the waltresses, among whom was Miss Mary Stafford of Goldfield fame, called it a day where they worked and went to another place to sing down a few tunes. The proprietor became very wroth and on the morrow gave the trio the gate. But they can't fire Miss Stafford, she used to sing with Madison Reid when they both worked for Joe Gans. They tell me the crowd at the game this year was a knock out Circumstances, which I won't mention, prohibited my attending, but as far as I know there must have been very low Baltimore people up. To tell you the truth I didn't miss hardly five people and I got up early Thanksgiving Day. Sparkling of Thanksgiving Day do you know that Harman Page and Miss Colletta Johnson were married the day before? The wedding took place at the bride's home and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Stewart, the tall singing parson. There were about twenty or more guests present and after some refreshments the pair and party retired to the new home on Westwood Avenue where the guards went a few more rounds. The bride looked wonderful in a creation which it will take a better man than I am to describe, Gunga Jim. The presents occupied two boxes and must have run into figures, Silverware, fine linen and such alike as woman like to wear and man like to use, were there in pro- fession not to mention two odd vases of precious worth and a flock of glassware. A good time was had by all. Yours in haste. BILLOW. P. M. I forgot to tell you that it is all over town that Miss Mary Hughes and Henry Halo, the butler, grocer, are to be married sometime in June. If they come up your way give them a break. P. M. I forgot to tell you that George Watty has been made chairman of the Provident Hospital Committee. It seems that they had to have a big man. When I say he was made chairman I mean that he is head over all of them. He even had his picture in the paper. As far as I know this is the first time his picture has appeared that it did not have under it, recollected head of the Pythians. At any rate they got what they wanted, George weights at least two hundred and sixty-five pounds. He is getting a break. WORCESTER, MASS. Thanksgiving Day was wonderful here, opening with Union Services at A. M. E. Zion Church. Dinners were enjoyed by all. The various charitable organizations gave dinners to the unfortunate ones and it was a real Thanksgiving. The Worcester Dancing Club hold the Spotlight in the evening with a prom at Community Hall, Laurel Street. This met the general approval all the way around. There was a clamor for the return of the Cliff Clarkson's orchestra of Springfield, Mass. Our popular Miss D. B. was the outstanding feature of the Thanksgiving prom with her new togs and body guard of three. Where was the trustee of the 11 o'clock club. His family would like to know. The day would have been complete then. That lady at No. 1. Lodge Street must have heard that song hit of Alberta Hunter, "Come on Home." Who was the mean man that gave our barber S. cider and etc., and cheated us out of our service Saturday night? BRASS TACKS WASHINGTON, D. C. Shame on 'Em! With due regard to the Marquis of Queensboro Rules, Prof. Roy Tibbs and the Mme. Evanti, whom he swore on Christian oath to love and cherish, have been indulging for some time in a bit of regned wrist slapping, with an occasional polite squeal. That is to say, the Prof. squeals every time she sends out a raiding party after his well-protected bucks. While both sides show an inclination to bite in the clinches, the Professor is much too refined and the Mme Evanti too much of an artist to foul unless the referee is looking the other way. During the opening rounds of the bout the Prof. would slap Evanti on the wrist and call her a "mean old thing," and the Madam would turn loose a boot at his spank-spot and yell for more dough, the referee would then come to the rescue of the Old Music Master and they would begin sparring with thumbs pressed to noses and with fingers waving. When all this musical talent merged, and began doing business under a single roof, it was thought that the result would be what the boys in the old days of bar rooms and corner quartettes spoke of as "close harmony." It was believed that Roy Wilfred would come blushfully down to his piano each morning and break into such mellow strains as Listzt't's A Dream of Love, while his soprano spouse would carrol I Love You Truly from the room above. But marriage is a game subject to having "missouts" or a "cold deck" rung in at any time. In this case the Madame was taken with the artistic hives, an itch which sent her off to Europe to get the rough edges pruned off her voice. While there Mrs. Lillian Evans-Tibbs discovered that she had genuine ability, and that she had little or no pressing need for a small-time professor of piano and orgain, and she changed her name to Evanti, the French form of Evans, I guess. In addition to that she won her "Madamship," a title granted in America only to women so fortunate as to be hair-dressers or superintendents of buffet flats. With Attys, Davis and Goo. Hayon in the Professors' camp the marital difficulties of the Tibbs will be aired out in the District Supreme Court. Both sides are charging the other with desertion. In her bill of complaint Mrs. Tibbs is yelling for separate maintenance and notting forth that her husband abandoned her because of her ambition for a career. The Prof. on the other hand, claims that things were not notting very pretty even before her first trip abroad, and that she not only refused to speak to him, which he could hear up under, but that his meals were cut off, and that he had to go the restaurant route. As usual the bottling runs seven to five on the Madame. For De Lawd Sake Low fellow that I am, I gave vent to one huge split and a bawdy laugh over the recent embrace that the Washington intelligence gave to Sunshine Sammy Morrison and his brother, Charlie. Sunshine Sammy was coddled in the lap of Society, and potted and pumpored and stuffed with the delicacies of the season. One day word would be passed out that he would be given over to the grain trust at the Muo-Lit Club, where such "overroadies" as Kelly Miller, Lawyer Houston, Porry W. Howard and Dr. A M. Curtis wore airing their views on prohibition. Then would Sammy be snared by the House of Landors, where Horace, Harry and John would stuff him with grease-bearing oribles. Not to be snubbed Miss Brenda Moryck would take the Sunshine Brothers in charge and let them bask in the light of --- THE INTER-STATE TATTLER her personality. All in all the Sunshine Family must have gotten a big kick out of it. Not that Sammy is not a deserving lad, and not, Gawd knows, that he didn't need the meals, but aside from the mere fact of his having once appeared in the movies I can see no reason for the rumpus. There is discoverable in the work of Sunshine Sammy under his late direction no real ability, I know, because I made a search for such ability with the aid of my binaculars. Sunshine Sammy (in person as the bill has it, proved to be a fair juvenile hoofer, but simply lacking in the juice and bounce which makes a true comic. Really, at his best, Sammy represented what the very people who went gushy over him disapprove of most—that is, a typical pickaninny. Sammy at his best was a type, not an actor. He symbolized what the average white man thinks a watermellon-eating, crap-tossing, darky kid resembles. When he outgrew that type he lost his job. Anyhow, I'm just mad because I didn't get his "freebies" here in Washington. Gwan, Boy To prove that I am not knocking all the time I am going to congratulate Bro. Rufus Byars on his elevation to the post of assistant to the managing director of the Litchman theaters. In addition, I offer Mr. Byars three cheers, a chautaqua salute, the right hand of fellowship, and generously volunteer to purchase a pint of perfectly beautiful gin for any girl of the Howard chorus he selects, provided the lady is not too brown. Byars has snuck out of the seclusion of his old ballwick at the Broadway Theater to see to it that customers of the Howard and Lincoln here and the Royal in Baltimore get the opportunity to smack their lips over a decent theatrical menu. Altogether there are five theaters in the Litchman chain, and seeing to their welfare ought to be a day's work for any man. Dear Old Southland Now Yorkers and the people of other civilized countries may know all about The Show Boat, they know, of course that the heart and sinews of the piece are in the hands of capable Aframerican actors. In the cast, for instance, are such notable Senegambians as Julius Bledsell, Misses Mamie Briggs, Josephine Gray and Emma Williams. Now as to the merits or demerits of the piece, I don't know. As to the performance of these actors, I don't know. And as to whether the Show Boat was a war transport, a Mississippi floating theater, or a cruiser in the Navy of Marcus Garvey, I surely don't know. And my ignorance about the Show Boat is shared by all the rest of colored Washington unless their grandmothers slaved on the plantations of white folks given over to indiscriminate loving, or they are expert in the use of skin bleaches and hair straighteners, or failing in these, are custodians of debris and vacuum cleaner engineers employed at the National Theater, where the Show Boat played a week's engagement. But the National Theater, in c. nonsance with its usual policy, during the engagement of these colored artists, gave the dark-meat of Washington a cordial and emphatic invitation to stay as far away from their theater as they dog-goned please. Now don't think I'm going off to preach on the Race Question. I think its a dreary subject, and wouldn't break an engagement with a hungry chorus girl to settle the whole damned thing. I simply submit that it does look rough for a theater to bear up under the indignity of colored artists and janitors and refuse the good bucks of its colored citizens. There may be another side to the question. I wouldn't care. ‘ . . 6 ff x eae) Fanon nearer eee ender rence erence ee a. i ———— HVEOITIS VIUSIC ONOT 7 629 LENOX AVENUE Phone Orders Promptly Attended To... __ dgecombe 6256 { rere | Sh Mies E . he rs rie, Bre pees es Fon | EVA TAYLOR’S Pk ak oe eis e ee a” ;* Pees are Ba “he i ° 2 ° a sk — Pt . st Sweet toned voice gives tribute ~ coe te fe Fe AMR os HTL BOTA Gh essesssssnerssserecees hal “wae : 2 oy : - we agit as: veces ene 4 apie.
