The I. R. T. has declared its intention to jack up the fare from five to seven cents and sets March 3rd as the fatal date. Mayor Walker very calmly replies that he will take the I. R. T. down off its high horse even if he has to recapture the subways for the city. We like to hear the Mayor talk that way. The fight is full of interest for the people of Harlem. If the Interborough succeeds in boosting the fare it will take over $6.00 a year out of the pocket of every man or woman who has to ride to work. Which means somebody in the family will be deprived of a pair of shoes or a suit of winter underwear. If Mayor Walker can save that $6.00 annually for each of the many thousands of Harlemites who use the subway and elevated lines every day, we'll say he is a worthwhile mayor. There's a phase of the recapture idea that appeals to us too. Although the I. R. T. takes millions a year out of Harlem it refuses to give colored people dignified employment. It employs colored men to sweep up the platforms and clean up the toilets but nary a dinge have we seen in an agent's booth except when the white agent was out to lunch. If the city takes over the operation of the lines the chances are that employment will be put on a civil service basis. Then we presume colored men will have a chance at the white collar positions as well as the brown suit jobs. WHAT PRICE INSURANCE MUCH has been the benefits to be Negro insurance be said and of time.

MUCH has been said and written about the economic benefits to be derived from the development of Negro insurance companies. Much more should be said and doubtless will be said from time to time. But one phase of the business, it seems to us, does not receive its proper share of publicity. This is the excellent educational work the companies are performing. When the agents of white companies approach colored prospects it is their custom to play up the advantages of endowment policies, usually the twenty year endowment. It cannot be denied that in the hands of a prudent man an endowment policy is a good thing. Unfortunately, most colored people, like most white peop'e, are not overly prudent. When the endowment falls due it creates an illusion of prosperity and the family indulges in a little orgy of spending. The furniture house, the clothing store, the boot-legger and the numbers runner all take a whack at the little fortune and pretty soon it's just another thousand bucks squandered away. The family is left without the protection of insurance and a new policy can only be obtained at a prohibitive premium. Obviously the endowment policy is not just the thing for the average colored family. On the other hand it is a pretty sweet graft for the company. The chances are overwhelmingly good that any man of twenty-five will reach the age of forty-five. The company insuring him during that period assumes a very slight risk. To make pickings all the sweeter they charge a pretty stiff premium compared with the premium of a straight life policy. The difference is the reason why life insurance presidents can afford steam yachts. When you decide to take out a policy select one that will give your family adequate protection instead of one that merely helps to buy a European duke for the daughter of the president of the company.

More often those of bronze hue have been stiffled for want of trade based upon absurd reasoning. It is clear that more business enterprises among Aframericans would resu't in more employment; money would not revert so readily; and ultimately there would be larger insurance companies; more places to purchase the necessities of life; perhaps a bank to place deposits in and to which one of color could return for a little loan to buy a radio. 1 Editor Interstate Tattler, Dear Sir: Permit me to commend your comprehensive article on the medical profession, in last week's issue. Such an article is not only educational, but it makes community health problems easier. Interest of your readers is sustained by your clever wit and playful humor. At this time of writing, I would like to mention, for the sake of record, that the Booker Washington Sanitarium, which was opened on April 1, 1920, was the first sanitarium in the state. This sanitarium was merged into the present Edgecombe Sanitarium on December 15. 1925. The members and staff of the Edgecombe Sanitarium are proud of their present group of nurses. We have a cheerful, willing, experienced and skillful corps of nurses. The staff of the Edgecombe Sanitarium would be greatly pleased, if you should mention this fact in your next publication. With best wishes for success of the Tattler. Sincerely, (Signed) JAMES L. WILSON. Just a line in reference to your strong editorial in last weeks issue of the Tattler, "Swallowing a Camel." It was very timely and to the point only you did not make it strong enough to suit me. It was this same Senator Reed, an officer during the war with the 108th or 308th (I've forgotten the exact designation) field artillery, who by filibustering in the Senate, killed a bill to erect a monument in France to the courageous black soldiers of the 93rd division, attached to the French army (369th, 370th, 371st, and 372nd.) The bill was introduced by your own Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr., in the House and it was passed by one House and as I stated before, killed in the Senate by Reed's filibustering tactics. Therefore, leaving the 93rd division with its unquestioned record of courage and gallantry to be the only American division out of 30 participating in the fighting to go unrecorded on adequate and suitable monuments erected by the government. Congressman Fish was an officer in the 369th (old 15th) N. Y., and he therefore had first hand knowledge of the courage of the black soldiers under him. I wish you would print this letter in letters a foot high so that some of those handkerchief head editors who are always yelling about the Republican Party can see it. This is a new day. I vote for the man, not the party, and if Al Smith is selected by the Democratic Party to head his party, here is one Republican in Pennsylvania who will vote for him. Yours sincerely. At the swank Alcidians last Friday evening Mrs. Inez Richardson Wilson ventured the wisecrack, "That one was no longer ashamed to be seen reading the Tattler". For the last three months the haute-monde as well as the demi-monde has been more insistent than ever that the TATTLER IS ONE OF AMERICA'S GREAT WEEKLIES. TheUptown NewYorker IT is quite in order to assume that one half of Uptown New York is entirely ignorant of what the other half is eating. There exist, scattered here and there, shops, markets and stands which specialize in meats, vegetables and condiments of other lands. Many a Harlemite has passed, without the inquisitiveness to investigate, the West Indian Grocery. In it exist many unfamiliar foodstuffs and curious commodities. There are, of course, all sorts of dried and smoked fish, the most popular of which are dumfish, West Indian cod, and salt shad. Usually each establishment possesses its many rows of 100 pound bags filled to the top with various tropical beans, meals and powders; these of a certainty, include chili peppers, chili beans, chili powder, and curry powder, black beans, garvanso beans, dried split peas, and pigeon peas. One bag contains casava farina, which is introduced to one as the crude state of our own tapioca; from another wafts the intriguing aroma of black Porto Rician coffee. In another section of the shop is discovered barrels of island cured meats; this one is chuck full of highly spiced beef; that one dried tasajo, which in appearance and taste is not unlike jerked venison; in yet another is pickled pork. Among the vegetables one sees the potato-related eddoes: and plantins, a sort of green cooking bananas, and then there are taxayas, which appear to be somewhat of a cross between sweet potatoes and parsnips. As regards the canned goods it is quite possible to find calamares en du tinto, an exotic meat in a strange tasting black sauce, also real Danish butter in half pound tins costing 65 cents per. There are most naturally, tennis rolls, spiced rolls and rock cakes, guava jellies as well as boxes of guava paste. Lumped cane sugar is obtainable as well as stalks of the cane itself. One tastes Spanish chocolates, West Indian candy, all flavors. all sizes and all colors as well as tropical sugar cakes. Centrally located there exists one West Indian-Spanish Grocery with an unusually varied assortment of Island delicacies on the north side of 135th Street east of Lenox. Believe it or not it is owned and operated by a Polish Jew. GLANCING up at the 135th side of the Harlem Centre Building at Seventh Avenue one discovers this legend on a second story window—"R. R.

He had very recently returned from his former home; he admitted that cemeteries did not appear overly crowded; in fact it seemed to be a most healthy countryside. "How can one account for it? Is the birth-rate exceptionally low? Aren't there many babies born there " "Well, yes," he answered musingly, "but, it seems every time a baby is born, somebody always leaves town." In connection with this it might be noted that some great personage characterized a small town as a place where, when a newly married couple send out postcards announcing the arrival of their first born, the neighbors all begin counting back.

At least I have come down to earth sufficiently to think coherently about it. I have passed the stage in which I simply said over and over "Wasn't it wonderful", and have begun to realize just what made it the best party I have been to in ages. Of course, the Alcidians have a reputation and you go prepared to be royally entertained, but if I am not mistaken, they out-did themselves this year. You see, to begin with, there are ninety-four members, all men who represent every profession and business of Harlem. Result-You meet at an Alcidian affair a varied and cosmopolitan group which for me spells, freedom, charm, sophistication. It is my reason for de-testing tank towns and agreeing with the nut who said he would rather be a lamppost in Harlem than the Mayor of Jimtown. * * * Reception Committee: Geo. A.

They went to attend the performance of "Keep Shufflin'" of which Joe Jordan is musical director. Mrs. Jordan will be visited soon by her mother, Mrs. Marie C. Hudlin of Chicago, and her little son, Lowell Henri Jordan. --- The dance was held this year at the Manhattan Casino. Around the jance floor and about a fourth in opposite the stage were ninety-four tables laid for from five to eight persons. There were cut flowers, dainty lamps and an array of silver. The supper was scheduled for ten-thirty and believe it or not, our folks arrived early and by eleven, the party was in full swing. --- A course dinner of grapefruit, soup, chicken, peas, potatoes, rolls, lettuce salad and French dressing, ice cream, cake and demitasse was served to the seven hundred odd guests. - Surrounding the tables were enough liquids to float all our battleships. While we were making away with everything in sight, in walks Connie's Revue to entertain us. ```markdown ``` There was Madeline Belt and her chorus, George Phillips, who used to be with the Dewey Wine-glasses and does all that Russian stuff and the Two Black Dots who tap and Charleston no end. They were a riot. ```markdown ``` I can't begin to describe the gowns. Everybody was in evening clothes. The members wore tail coats while the majority of the men guests preferred tuxs. The ladies were marvelous. There were picturesque boufants in lace, chiffon, tulle, taffeta and satin. Sequin gowns in all colors and combinations. Some backless, some very low in front, some short, some long, some snug, some full, some drapped, some straight, but all too bad. --- John C. Smith, himself and eighteen men occupied the stage. And the music was righteous. At three o'clock I happened to be takling to Mr. Hayden who managers the casino. "What a shame", I sighed, "we have to go home now." "Never no close at three tonight," he replied (and he also was tuxed down). When the music finally left it was four-thirty. You can't beat the Alcidians. --- Unfortunately I can't tell you all the guests but here are the officers and the reception committee and the ninety-four members. Officers: Oscar R.

THE DANCE WEEK The exotic Slim Princess, MAUDE RUSSELL, chants more impressively into the heart strings of the exacting in Keep Shufflin. Maude adds to the confusion by dancing to unending pleasure Keep Shufflin! Got Equal! I shall start off by telling you that I made a special trip to Philly Wednesday to see Miller and Lyles in their new musical comedy, Keep Shufflin, which Con Conrad is trying out for two weeks on the natives at Gibson's before bringing it to Daly's 63rd Street Theatre. I expected to see the show Wednesday night and return to my Harlem The exotic Slim Princess, MAUDE, pressively into the heart strings of Maude adds to the confusion by Thursday at noon. Instead, I stayed until Friday morning, and in the two days saw the show three times. So you see, I didn't like it much. There are only about fifty reasons why I fell for it and here are forty-nine. The fiftieth is nobody's business. To begin with it does not open with a levee scene. Secondly you are not yanked from Jimtown to Africa to Asia Minor to the Hawaiian Islands; you stay comfortable in Jimtown. Thirdly it does not see the advisability of ending with a cabaret scene. What shaking is done takes place at the rehearsal in the town hall which is absolutely appropriate for the hinderland. In short you feel that at least three time honored institutions of "our group" have been destroyed, and you rejoice. The program gives the credit for the music to Jimmy Johnson, Fat Waller and Clarence Todd and for the lyrics to Henry Cramer and Andy Razof. I met a little lady who it seems has also done a song, and somewhere I read that there was a George Gershwin in the line up. All of which is of little importance to the audience. The result of the combination, whatever it may be, is highly pleasing. The Bigger And Better Than Ever (Fifth Annual) MONSTER MIDNITE BENEFIT GAMBOL KEITH-ALBEE THEATRE BOYS AT THE songs have melody, swing and pep and the orchestra which is lead by Joe Jordon plays out of this world. Now I suppose you would like to hear about the girl end of the show. The line up contains many a familiar and pretty face with Jean Starr and Maude Russell to lead them. And they step. Someone remarked that there had been so little fuss about getting this show together, but when you see it you THE INTER-STATE TATTLER know the reason why. The girls know their business and one routine more or less means nothing to them. Their costumes are sufficient and colorful enough to satisfy the censors and scant enough to be interesting. And the men are far from homely with two or three who might apply for my handsome list. The comedy, built around the Got Equal League, is marvelous. Not an old joke or situation. Johnny Vigal is a riot in the first act when he speaks in behalf of the laboring man and the discarding of the Jenkin's household effects when Miller and Lyles find that they have more money than they know what to do with, leaves you hysterical. Josephine Hall makes a sweet and charming daughter who falls properly in love with Clarence Robinson who in turn makes an adorable lover. And Margaret Lee does some splendid dramatic work which adds to the finished tone of the production. You have concluded by this time that Keep Shufflin is not a one man affair and therein lies one of its charms. You tire of no one. Just when you think Maude Russell is too clever for words, out walks Jean Starr and you decide she is really righteous, but along comes Josephine Hall and you feel—well she is so sweet and here floats out Evelyn Keyes light as a feather and you give up You die over Lyle you scream over Miller, you double up over Johnny Vigal, you hold your sides over Margaret Lee, you Oh and Ah over Clarence Robinson and in the end you don't want to leave them. In short you are entertained from start to finish. To keep you from thinking that I have been paid to write this, I suppose I shall have to find fault with something. To tell the truth here was only one thing that did not get a hand from me. I was not enthusiastic over Exhortation, the specialty of the Jubilee Glee Club, and "Harlem Rose" must be worked up a bit. Personally, it would suit me right down if another two acts were added. STAGESTRUCK THE HALL JOHNSON NEGRO CHOIR UNDER MANAGEMENT OF THE CONCERT GUILD — at — PYTHIAN TEMPLE 135 West 70th Street, New York Wednesday 23rd February FOR RESERVATIONS — ENDICOTT 9100 HALL STUDIO, 239 West 135th Street, New York City Friday. February 24. 1928 Trailing The Spotlight By THEOPHILUS LEWIS One of the most pressing needs of the colored stage is a body or competent and conscientious critics. The critic is not the enemy of the stage, as many actors seem to think; he is the liaison man who keeps up the contact between the stage and the public. The stage should reflect the complexion of society as a mirror reflects the appearance of the face. If a man should look in a mirror and see himself as he appeared ten years ago he would naturally conclude that something was wrong with the mirror. When we see the stage reflecting outgrown ideas and conditions we must conclude that something is wrong with the stage. In an ideal condition the stage should be a little behind the intellectual minority and considerably ahead of the progressive majority. It should attempt many innovations the public in general is not quite ready to appreciate. It is the critic's business to explain to the public what the stage is trying to do, presuming, of course, that it is trying to do something worth while. On the other hand, when the stage becomes stagnant and lags behind the general progress of the public it is the critic's duty to bawl out actors, producers and managers until they bring the stage up to date. At the present time the Negro stage is twenty years behind the Negro public. Such pieces as Shuffle Along and Rang Tang represent the best our stage has produced in almost two decades. To say that those shows reflect the average behavior or intelligence of a race that produces university presidents is absurd. The condition changes from absurd to tragic when we remember that the man who is perhaps the greatest living Negro actor, Paul Robeson, cannot make a living in the Negro theatre. First rate actors are forced out of the profession and intelligent patrons are driven out of the orchestra seats. The other day I asked a young minister whether, in his opinion, the theatres in Harlem exerted a good or bad influence. The answer came like a flash, "No influence". I asked him how could that be, since everything exerts some kind of influence. He replied that the amusement offered by Harlem theatres cannot attract minds of average intelligence, hence the respectable classes never get close enough to the theatre to be either uplifted or degraded. I was not surprised by his answer, for I had made similar observations myself. We see, then, that our stage is so far out of touch with the progress of the race that even ministers are not concerned about its moral aspect. If there had been competent THE MUSICIAN KARLE COOKE need not go sauntering for reward for merit. Hard Work Wins Success Beginning as an extra singer and assistant drummer with the Edward J. Brown Society Orchestra, also known as the Eureka Trio and Sextette, Karle Brown Cooke has risen to a responsible executive po- KARLE COOKE need not go so sition in the booking agency which controls the bands and several other musical organizations. Three years ago he joined the forces of the Edward J. Brown Inc. booking office as an "extra"; at present he is field manager of the business, which is enjoying increasing success as a result of his ability. Shortly after Mr. Cooke joined the agency the founder of the business, the late Edward J. Brown, died and his widow assumed control. She found Mr. Cooke's knowledge of the profession of invaluable service, and as a result of his ability and knowledge he has been advanced to his present position. Mr. Cooke dedicated himself to maintaining the high standard established by the deceased founder. He reorganized the several units controlled by the agency, shifting the critics to keep actors and producers informed of what the public was thinking this condition would not exist. But as it does exist, the critic has no choice but to pan everything in the theatre till the cows come home. The critic who tosses flowers in the direction of the Negro stage just now is either a dumbbell or a hypocrite. In either case he means the stage no good. The sincere critic, like the sincere friend, will tell the actor his faults. His virtues will advertise themselves.

Mr. Cooke is becoming recognized as one of the outstanding leaders and organizers among musicians. Through his agency, which fills engagements for a great number of the most exclusive social and club functions in the East, he supplies work for many musicians at union rates.

THE CHORUS A RECENT GRADUATING CLASS During 1927 one hundred and eighty-five students, many of whom were former stenographers, nurses, dress makers and school teachers, were graduated from this school. Classes Afternoons and Evenings—Enter Anytime PAY AS YOU LEARN DIPLOMAS AWARDED POSITIONS ALWAYS OPEN :: Interior Decoration :: By D'ANDRE Page Ten The reproductions of Furniture and decorations that were designed during the reign of Louis XIV, XV, and XVI are very popular today so much so that many stores and antique establishments specialize in these three different period reproductions; and a marvelous business they are doing. Many of the reproductions are cheap in design and very poor in structure yet the demand is great and it will continue. Why? Simply because we have awakened to the appreciation of beautiful furniture. The fact is that we are just now at this late date realizing the value of a cultural environment about our home. Some men were born and reared in wood-sheds, they achieved fame, I do not believe that a beautiful home would have affected their life work for the worst; do you? Perhaps their contributions would have been much greater. However, you may think about it for a few days, we shall then discuss it in detail. General character of Louis XV furniture: Effeminate delicacy achieved by slender curved lines, bowed-out (bombe') surface and featured by richly carved members. During the reign of Louis XV French court life was characterized by splender, ease and luxury. Furniture reflected that life; in it the passion for curves was carried to the point of delirium. Cabinets, tables, chair seats and backs were invariably curved in outline; ever the legs were united to the frames by means of flowing curves. Straight structural lines did not appear. And original note was the bombe' or swelling curved surface, sides of cabinets and etc., instead of being flat were bowed outward. Conspicuous was the cabriole leg, but unlike the plain one of Queen Anne reflecting English sobriety and stability, it was subtle of line, delicate and ornate. Classic decorative details were supplanted by elaborate rococco and naturalistic carving, the human figure being a frequent motif. The shell, bean, lozenge and cartouche figures were modified in various ways and repeated throughout the articles. Natural and painted woods were largely employed with woods or metal inlays, or with ormolu bronze mounts. Lacquered furniture—and furniture of natural wood inlaid with lacquered panels—enjoyed great popularity. Furniture executed at the height of the Louis XV period, embodied the characteristic features and spirit of the time. POWDER PUFF BEAUTY SHOPPE 157 West 144th Street With All Modern Appliances Expert Operators MADELINE NELSON Props. MARY HILL ELSIE PAYNE, Operator APEX SYSTEM Louis XVI Period General character: Chaste, light forms, extensively carved with dainty and refined classic ornamentation. Sensible, graceful proportions and refined details are outstanding qualities of Louis Seize. The style reflects the reactions from the elaborately ornate Louis XV style, influenced largely by the simple mannered queen, Marie Antionette. It represents a return to simplicity, the decline of naturalism in ornament and the resturation of the classic. Furniture resumed its rectangular structure and the straight leg—generally turned round, always tapered and fluted—replaced the curved one. Curves were employed—mainly on chair arms, which, however, were usually straight and horizontal—were of a frank and open nature. Chair backs were usually solid, either upholstered or caned filled and were often of oval shape. A distinctive feature was padded elbow rests on chair arms. The use of both painted and natural woods continued, mahogany being in marked favor. The classic ornaments included denticules, scanthus, leaves, chaplets of oak and olive, wreaths and baskets of flowers, the Greek band and rope carvings. Toward the end of the period brass inlays and mouldings were extensively used. Why is it that those of our group do not engage the services of professional interior decorators when they are furnishing or refurnishing their house or apartment? I am certain that they are not lacking in ability to appreciate the more modern professional services. Do you think so? There are three or four hundred families in Harlem who have attempted serious things in decoration but through their inability to discriminate in services they have nothing more than a house full of furniture that expresses the salesman's ambition and realization: that is, to sell you anything and everything you may have money to pay for cash or credit. Practically all of the folks with whom I am personally acquainted really do not know any more about the services rendered by professional decorators than they know about reading the financial news printed in the daily papers. Seemingly every intelligent human being living in America should be interested in interior decoration. Why? Because of our interest in radio programs. ```markdown ``` Return to the Small City There are more physicians in the four cities of Chicago, Cleveland, Washington and Philadelphia than in the entire South. This startling fact was brought out in the address of Dr. C. V. Freeman, the president of the National Medical Association to the North Harlem Medical Society at its regular meeting last Thursday evening. Dr. Freeman whose home is in Jacksonville, Fla., is visiting the important Medical Societies of the East, making contacts with the local officials and boosting the next National meeting which will be held in Baltimore from August 13th to the 17th. During his discourse it was learned that, for over a million people in Mississippi there are only thirty-four physicians. This forms one of the many problems the National Medical Association is attempting to solve; the creation of interest of the graduating medical student in such sections rather than in the already too congested cities. The placing of graduates in hospitals as internes constitutes an additional difficulty. Of the 187 Negro Hospitals in the country only eleven are Class-A and recognized as acceptable to the eight or more states which already require internships before licensing physicians to practice. Contrary to the prevalent idea that too many young men are going into the professions it was explained that the race is a long ways from the saturation point. There are only bout 6500 physicians, dentists and pharmacists combined, in the entire country. A secret was divulged that a movement is underway to establish an additional Class-A Medical School somewhere in the South to assist Howard and Meharry already overcrowded and unable to meet the demand. The National Association Meetings offers not only contact with learned men from widely separated parts of the country, but give the physician opportunity to observe clinics, operations and to receive the clinical experiences of the best men of the race. The North Harlem Medical Society pledged its entire medical strength to the National body and assured the visitors that it would perform its share in making the Baltimore Convention a huge success. The president was profuse in his praise of the local meeting and requested that the papers presented by Doctors Paul Collins, Jas. Jones and Omar Price because of their excellence be sent to the Journal of the Association for publication. Formerly at 2309 SEVENTH AVE. has temporarily suspended business.

However, chapping comes from exposure of damp surfaces to wind and cold. If you bite your lips they will chap, if you do not dry your skin thoroughly and then expose yourself to cold it will chap, if you take baths of very hot water and then go out your skin is likely to chap. Chapping is aggravated and intensified by dirt, and the likelihood is increased by inactive sweat glands and oil glands and poor circulation, so any treatment that helps these conditions, and any systematic exercises which puts the body in good condition decreases the tendency to chap. Careful use of a good cold cream or use of honey and almond cream will relieve the condition. Camphor ice or white lip stick is very good for chapped lips. Glycerin and rose water with a few drops or carbolic acid make a simple lotion that is excellent for chapped skin. Above all, discontinue the habit of bitting your lips. This not only causes them to chap but hendsy to enlarge them. THE INTER-STATE TATTLER The Harlem School of Dress, Inc. Office: 219-200 WEST 135th STREET Tel.

There's no question but that Messers Tunney, Rickard and these same six hundred millionairs will spend a sleepless night next Tuesday, when the bronze shadow attempts to eclipse the fiery Spanish orb now shining so brightly across the pugilistic highway. In fact I doubt if they'll even sleep but will take their punishment by way of the radio. Yes, they'll listen in, unless the Ebony Threat has been shoed with an Oregon Boot, shackled with the latest perfected handcuffs and straight-jacketed after several shots of a hypodermic needle.

Yes, they'll listen in, been shoed with an Oregon perfected handcuffs and shot of a hypodermic needlebility of a tragic mistake su Maloney engagement. Godfrey certainly should win and decisively. But after that horrid Jack McVey-Maxie Rosenbloom debacle, anything can happen. There's no use in trying to buck a stone wall and I'll not try. All I can say is. I hope it's on the up and up. For in these days of manipulations or string pulling, when the results are known to the few days or weeks in advance, picking winners is not so much a matter of knowledge and judgment as advance info. The contests of today are won or lost, not in the ring, but in the Big Mogul's private office. On form Godfrey outclasses his pudgy rival at all four points of the compass. He is by far the better boxer. Is faster on his feet and a much harder hitter. George will never be hit by a round house hip swinger like this up-side-down pulooka. There's only one doubtful point to be considered. There is some question as to whether George can stand the gaff. Godfrey, if memory serves me right, was smacked into oblivation by a certain Sam Langford some years ago, in the first second of the first minute of the first round somewhere out in the wilds of Kentucky. Sam broke up a perfectly good tournament when he forgot himself and his promise. But it was not altogether Tham's fault. A gal gave the famous Tar Baby some of that Kentucky fightin' gin and Thumpin Thamuel lost all control of his maulies. This Paulino, some times called the Spanish Oak, is reputed to be shock proof. But I sure doubt if he or any fighter born could stand up under a Langford caress. To my way of seeing things, Sam was the greatest hitter that ever lived. All the Jack Dempseys and Jack Delaneys put together, never could hit like Tham. So that little nap that was induced by a Langford maulie we'll not hold against George. Jack Renault, the big French-Canadian. also stopped our hero in eleven heats, if the old bean is functioning right. Renault wore Godfrey down with body smashes and then tagged him on the chin at the opportune moment. But there were other factors that played a prominent part in Godfrey's defeat at the hands of this Canadian. Then again, Paulino is not a Renault by several million miles and never a Langford. The Canadian was as big as George, about the same in poundage, height and other measurements. Secondly, he was a clever, tricky hard hitting boxer and able to stand the gaff and come back. But it was more a condition of mind over matter that defeated George. He had never before met a white man in the ring. All his fighting had been confined to boxing his ebony brothers and at the time there were no pulookas among them. Just imagine a kid meeting such as Joe Jeanette, Sam Langford, Jack Thompson, Jeff Clark, Bill Watkins, Sam McVey, and the likes of such. I wonder how long the Jack Delaneys, Johnny Riskos, Gene Tunneys. Jack Sharkey, Tom Heeney's and this Paulino baby would last in a tournament with that first mentioned mob. Well, if ever there was a "Murderous' Row" in puglisism such as they termed the Yankee lead-off men in the batting order, this aggregation of Langford, McVey, Jeannette and company are entitled to the honors. Jack McVey Defeated Maxie Rosenbloom, (white) middle weight contender, had little difficulty defeating Jack McVey in the eight round semi-final feature to the Ace Hudkins Sammy Baker attraction at Madison Square Garden last Friday night. The Jewish boy slapped and grabbed his way through the contest, when not on his bicycle. But he was clearly entitled to the decision of the judges. He made Jack lock foolish at times and had him, (McVey) floundering about the ring like a drunken man. According to our tabulation, McVey was not entitled to a single round. In fact, to us it looked as if he lost eleven of the eight heats. Never have we seen the Harlem Flash perform so poorly, not even excepting his defeat at the hands of Joe Dundee. In the Dundee fight, McVey landed some hard smashes and despite his poor condition and weakness from making weight, he boxed superbly and was ever dangerous. But Friday night, he forgot all he ever knew about the art of self defense and looked awfully bad. He did not know how to protect himself against a left jab and allowed the white boy to tie him up in the clinches. True, he forced the fighting, but his counters so accurately timed in his previous fights, missed the Hebrew target by a country mile. Jack is one of the best counter fighters of the past twenty years. We have seen him hit inside of a jab or slip it and drive his right or left to head or body. But Friday night, for eight rounds, he just walked into a flipping left hand. He made no attempt to block or evade it nor did he try to counter. Why? Either our opinion of this athlete is all wrong or there was a subtle, sinister influence at work that had him hobbled or under wraps as they say at the race tracks. Jack did not try. In fact he hardly worked up a healthy sweat during the twenty-four minutes of action. We have often heard the rumor of "Orders" in these Garden fights and we wonder if Jack obeyed instructions of the higher "Ups". Business is business and as Eddie Hunter would say," I'm a business man". Maybe Jack is also. Where else can he get $2,000 and $3,000 purses but in Tex Rickard's House Of Swat? Any way, watch for the "Brother Act." JACK MCVEY McVey at Olympia Jack McVey, upper Harlem's crack middleweight contender for titular honors, will meet Joey Knapp, (white) in the feature ten round bout at the Olimpia A. C. this Saturday night. McVey, who is a staunch friend of Jimmy Moore, is out to avenge the bad decision of the judges. Jack told a group of newspapermen at the West 125th Street Gym last Monday, that the club would not need the two judges Saturday night. "I am going after this fellow and get him quick" was the way the Harlem fighter put it. "They'll not pull a raw decision on me like they did on poor Jimmy" he concluded. By this statement, it can be readily seen that Knapp is in for a hot evening. McVey feels his defeat of last week at the hands of Maxie Rosenbloom rather keenly. He realizes that he has lost considerable prestige and popularity and is now anxious to retrieve his lost honors. This he intends doing at the expense of Joey Knapp, and others. After the Roosenbloom debacle, Mac told his manager, Morris Cain, to get him anybody and everybody regardless of weight. So Morrie got busy and soon had two more fights booked for Jack, in addition to the Knapp bout. Jack will box in Buffalo the first week in March and then will hop over to Philadelphia for another gallop. 1928 EDITION The Official Theatrical Guide 115 West 131st Street, New York, N. Y.

Having copped the nod over the shifty Jimmy Moore, Knapp is determined to add McVey to his list. "These colored boys ain't so much" he told his friends in the Olympia A.

UMMY MOORE Jimmy Moore Gyped They handed Jimmy Moore, California middleweight, the well known "works" at the Olympia A. C. last Saturday night after Jimmy had given Joey Knapp, (white) a puglistic lesson and a whipping to boot. Yes, they gave the fight to Knapp which caused a local newspaperman to ask one of the commissioners; "What does a fighter have to do to his opponent to win a fight?" But to this hour, Al White of the News and the Negro Associated Press has not been answered. When Jimmy Moore told his best gal and the Pacific Coast "G" (the same G standing for "Gang", Jimmy's gang), that he was New York bound some months ago, they warned him of the dangers of the big city. His California S. M." (the s. m. meaning "Sweet Mamma") sobbing her loving heart out on her noble lord's manly breast, begged her Jimmy not to depart for the naughty east. "Please oh please Jimmy don't go for they'll hand you the works" and that's what they did for the Sweet Mamma's B. F. which you all well know, that B. F. stands for boy friend.

He won by the proverbial mile and then some, but Knapp copped the decision and that's that. The Knapp Moore joust was the piece de resistance all during the six hectic heats and up to the final bell of the final bout between Bennie Hall and Ernie Jarvis. The fans booed and hissed the decision against Moore, who had made a great and winning up-hill battle. The California brunette got off to a bad start and it looked as if he was due for a licking and possibly a K.O. defeat. Joey got the jump on Jimmy and landed some hard smashes. He cut the bronze boy's left eye early in the round and seemed well on the way to a quick victory. But 'Gimmie" beg yer pardon, Jimmie Moore was yet to be reckoned with. The gentleman from the Pacific Coast was not quite ready to join the puglistic scrap heap, however anxious Joey Knapp was to discard him. This Knapp person rushed from his corner to make short shift of his opponent in the second but the easy mark was rather hard to find. Joey's intentions were good as seeking to please the fans who were now howling for Jimmy's demise. But Jimmy was not the least bit sleepy. The third, like the second was fairly even, but Jimmy suddenly came to life in the fourth and hooked and jolted the white boy with a vengeance. He began working a snappy left hook to the body and then whipping the same mit to the head. He shook his rival several times and at opportune moments, crossed or chopped viciously with his right. Knapp began to wilt under the vicious attack, the body whipping evidently weakening him. He had lost much of his pep in the fifth round and Jimmy had little difficulty hitting him. The sixth and last session was all Moore's, the white boy having shot his bolt in the first three rounds, seemed discouraged and was an easy target for Moore's snappy left and jarring right. Round by round, we gave Moore three, two were even and Joey copped the first: The weights announced were: Moore, 1571/2 and Knapp a quarter pound lighter. But it looked to us as if Joey had a ten pound advantage in the weights and he proved much the stronger of the two.

Little Emma Tracey Temple died last Wednesday Feb. 15th after a lingering illness of almost a year. She was buried last Sunday. Wonder if the boys know that this is Leap Year. That's why the girls have been poppin' the question. --- So far no sheik has taken offense and refused when a Lovin' Sweet Brown or a Paralizing Pretty Pink" mamma has popped the question. * * * "To be or not to be, that is the question" and what sheik would not want to be the sheik when it's a golden brown or peach perfection? * * * Well, to make a long story short, we're gonner celebrate the "Ladies Year", February 29th. To the Savoy will go the honor of officially dedicating 1928 to the hands that, (will or should) rock a cradle. *** Next Wednesday Nite, February 29th will be "Leap Year" nite and we're gonna introduce the "Leap Year Dance.' On that evening, the ladies will "Request the pleasure of this dance, please?" *** We know they'll be far more courteous asking for a dance than some of our "Knock 'em dead sheiks. The boys seem to think that it's impossible for any girl to refuse their requests for a dance. Just how they figure is beyond us. * * * Several times we have seen a patent leather hair dressed Valentino saddle up to a young lady, snap his fingers at her to attract attention and then blurt out: "Gimmie dis here dance baby" putting a world of emphasis and feeling into the word ba-by. But come out and spend the evening with us next Wednesday night and help the girls celebrate. We promise you a good time and a merry one. 军 军 军 Mamie Jenkins and Betty Wilson-Blackwell are back in town and back at the Savoy, after an absence of several months. * * * Sunday afternoon is "Opportunity Day" and no wise person ever passes up an opportunity. It would be just the thing for you to take advantage of the first opportunity to see what opportunity has in store for you. *** Wonder why little Flo was so peeved last Saturday night? Did Miss Regina's visit have anything to do with your high temperature Flo? ```markdown ``` Tuesday and Tango. That's some combination. Every Tuesday we feature the Savoy way of doing the famous South American dance. Can you Tango? If not, then why not? We'll be glad to help you. --- Miss Mildred Saulters was a visitor Sunday night. Remember little Mildred who left us many months ago? Well, there's much more to her now. Yep, but pleasingly plump. ```markdown ``` Thursday nite we have our vaudeville program and they're a wow. You can't see better entertainment on Broadway. In fact we give you a $2.50 entertainment at Savoy prices. Gertle Hayes became awful thirsty Sunday evening about 12 mid-ite and tried to drink up all the water. Now what was the real trouble. Gert and did you find out? H-A-S-H T has dawned upon me for no short length of time that this delightful journal has reached that station where better accommodations for many first class passengers must be added. As is, I have found, with one exception, this weekly digest of social, theatrical and sport news as entertaining as anything in its line of color. My exception is to that which you tolerate under the caption Hash. I have never carried out, to the letter, my original idea—when my choice drew for me the above caption. I originally intended this column to be fairly pregnant with news or comment of every possible description and bulging with personalities who might be in line for some comment socially and professionally at home or abroad. But to my sorrow some influence was generated to cut my crime down to what I call a low jelly. But I have promised myself that as long as I am permitted to be at large and operate in these columns—I shall take in as many "ready to serve" particulars as come to hand. Before relaunching this column—I will ask your hearty cooperation—your contributions of social particulars—your signature and address must be therewith—not for publication but for good faith and policy—address Hash, Interstate Tattler, Inc., 2296 Seventh Avenue, New York City. If your matter is undersirable your copy will be returned. I thank you. There is little or no doubt in my mind, and the time is no great distance off, when the Tattler will reach fifty or sixty pages and cover and the bulk of this space will be taken up with doing and undoings of things social in Harlem. I find this easy to say, for the reason is plain, as long as Harlem continues to house 200,000 or more folks of color. To properly or thoroughly combine this thickly settled community for social particulars is far from child's play, but with your help and our constant observing we are out for a bigger and ever better Tattler. My method of attack is to broaden my appeal, and while it is a further taxation on my present labors, I am doubly rewarded because of its worthiness. Beginning I hope and trust to live up to my oath to "Wash my hands" once and for all of that sprung kneed word Elite. I don't like the word, I never liked the word—I don't know what it means, and I don't wish to know its meaning—especially after leaving the neighborhood of Park Avenue. In its stead I shall aim to employ some word or words that will endure. Probably respectful citizens, God fearing men or women, taxpayers and, of course, strivers as there's nothing known to science that would exterminate these. I compare them with death, a thing that must come. I trust that I am not leading you to feel that I am uncovering any new wrinkles or tempting to suggest or comment on any matters handed out by the "In-and Out" committee, not at all. It is a constant order of social affairs—and in many instances they * * * ★ ★ ★ * * * "stand out" in merit and form. And strange it is to me how few if any of the following have seen fit to drop a line or two to the Tattler's office after their many social affairs. With apologies I will admit we have slept these social factors. Did it ever occur to you, how interesting the social efforts of Mr. Mal Frazier and Mr. Johnny Carey would be to our readers? When they pre-arrange splendour it is on the first order and with their many acquaintances it furnishes a choice morsel. Mr. Jerry Preston and Pods Hollingsworth who are certainly men "in the know," especially socially, a word or two of their activities as hosts would serve us well: Mr. Preacher Saunders has enjoyed the reputation of making himself very much felt, socially, and I might add that Mr. C. Ambrose entertains his group at Satisfactory intervals. Strange to say, but I am fortunate enough to group three men who have been always able to produce splendid buffet with the necessary elixirs on the shortest notice, Messrs. Varnett Reed, William Harris and Larnie Davis. These gents are always in tune socially—they respond to "the going" like firemen at the sound of the gong. Off handed, this is as far as I might go with the men, save to give a word of praise to Mr. Edwin Small who closes my list of B and E (butter and egg) men—whom I hope will make entry when the occasion arises. The ladies' list is heavy, really there are so many hostesses that it forces you to wonder how many different cliques, groups, bands and tribes are there in one community. To say that Miss Alice Coffer Thomas fails to entertain in grand style is a rank misdemeanor. Miss Amy Brown gives vent to her social feelings at regular intervals. Mrs. Lucinda Smith "lays it down" for her numerously and there is little if anything to be desired when she harnesses up to be hostess. Mrs. Edna Ellington of this city by way of Washington stretches out to make her friends merry every now and again, and may I say it's a gilt edge effort when Mrs. Susie Young and her sister Mrs. Julia Houston decide to make a social offering to their coterie of friends it is a well organized, plus. Practise has made Mrs. Marie Murray Hansborough a hostess of the first magnitude. Under her guidance she and her friends enjoy themselves giving a party and planning another. Miss Flo Williams is very apt at putting her best food forward when she feels for entertaining her few. It would be an oversight not to mention the social activities of Mrs. Effie Bush and her group, her deliveries are indeed well appointed. Miss Lucille Skinner will be reckoned in the same breath with another hostess who produces everything required for an evening of pleasure and repast. Among friends, Miss Genevieve Brewster is the eligible. Miss Billie Mills as well as Miss Billie Marshall dish up as well as pour out plenty when they haul off to call in their friends for an evening of pleasure. Miss Margurite Weaver is indeed eligible for comment when she is entertaining. * * * 84 Years and Still Growing Young Hamilton Lodge 710 Incorporated GRAND UNITED ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS will hold their 60th Masquerade and Civic Ball At MANHATTAN CASINO, 155th St. and 8th Ave. Friday Evening, February 24th, 1928 $55.00 in Gold Prizes will be given away Music by John C.

Mrs. Marie Colbert comes in for her share of entertaining and can boast of her fitness to entertain her friends properly. Miss Mary Cragg, who is the guiding power of her social contingent unloads her choicest when the occasion demands, in addition to being a charming hostess. Mrs. Pauline Wright and her sister Mrs. Nellie Toomey, have enjoyed the art of good entertaining for several years or more. It is not likely they'll lose any of their taste of yesteryears, and most certainly, none of their charm. That gracious little matron, Mrs. Martha Nelson Cabey has spent quite a space making it pleasant for her friends. Mrs. Josie Greenlee Williams, a bride of recent months, is in fine fettle to invite and enjoy the association of her social kin. Miss Nettie Gilbert is another addition to this ever growing list of amiable women folk who are given to the role of hostess. I could go on with Miss Bertha Wade, Florence McClain, Clara Wammack, Blanche Pritchard, Regena Brooks, Mrs. Leonard Harper, Mrs. Mina, the Miss and Mrs. Susie Suttons and Miss Billie Cain. * * * I have not space to call out more of the social timber in Harlem but this will give you my idea and my aim.

Northern Pleases Audience Friends of Mr. Northern were somewhat incensed by an article which appeared in, a Harlem newspaper. The article, admittedly based on second hand information, impugned Mr. Northern's motives for giving his recital in a downtown auditorium and made these alleged motives the basis of a criticism which disparged Mr. Northern's musical talent. Mr. Northern's friends point to the reception of the audience as the best answer they could give to such irrelevant criticism. The Advertisers on this page are seeking your patronage.

Harry Scott defeated Steve Clifford (white) in a six round lightweight tilt. Jimmy McNamara won from Tommy Gerval, (both white) and Tony Pellegrino trimmed Tommy Rivers, also white boys. Suggs in Gome Back Chick Suggs, the sturdy little featherweight of New England who was once rated as contender in the bantam and feather divisions, will follow up his successful come-back attempt of several weeks ago, with a bout in the New Madison Square Garden Friday night. Chick meets Sammy Dorfman in the semi-final contest and will have his work cut out for him. This Dorfman mug buster is no soft spot for any of the 126 pound boys as Chick will find out if he's not right for a squally evening. Sid Terris and Jimmy McLarin top the card and considerable interest will be shown by the Aframrican sport world. The winner of this bout may have to meet Bruce Flowers the latter part of May for a crack at Sammy Mandell's lightweight crown. Pittsburgh Humiliated Bob Douglas and his Renaissance Big Five took cruel revenge on Pittsburg and the Ricks Club basketball team last Sunday night, burying the invaders beneath a lopsided 78 to 21 score. It was a cruel and humilating defeat and no doubt Cum Posey is gnashing his teeth in rage and planning an equally cruel revenge for next year at the latest. The little Napoleon of the courts has never loved New York, New York teams and if some newspapermen have spoken gosple, Cum even hates New York newspapermen to boot. The only thing that Posey cares the least about from the big hick town but that's a secret.. No doubt you'll guess it, for the stuff they make in Pitsburg is horrible and fit for no man's stomach. But you'll never say we told you and be telling the truth. We're going to keep Cum's secret. Slocum started the scoring, shooting a foul two minutes after the whistle started the exhibition. Then Pappy Ricks got fancy and ringed a neat one and the New York ladies cheered. This same Ricks, formerly a Pittsburg star and a protege of Cum's had better think twice about ever going back to the "Smokey City". Posey is eagerly waiting him and will have a welcoming party of night riders to greet this misguided youth. Pappy was a pain in the hip to the Ricks Club chumps. Beg yer pardon just a mistake in our spelling: we meant champeens. Lipman, who did the best shooting for the visitors, made his first tally on a free shot immediately after Pappy scored. Then Saitch took a hand and caged the big oval for two more points. Jenkins then added another on a free shot and the score stood 6 to 1 for the first five minutes of play. Tinker then forgot himself and his manners and becoming rude, dropped a long shot for two counts. Fats Jenkins shot another foul and Lipman did likewise for Pittsburg. Saunders, apparently shocked by the rudeness of the visitors then went crazy and shot two baskets in rapid succession. Pappy Ricks added another basket and then the whole Renaissance team began to rub it in. The visitors began to wilt under the steadily increasing pressure and twice had to call time out to catch up with their breath. This availed them little for within three minutes from resumption of play, their tongues were hanging out and they were gasping for breath like a drowning man. Ricks, with his hyena aggravating grin was ever in the thick of the fray, dropping shots from all angles. He seemed to be taking a world of pleasure in piling up the score at this juncture. Then came the whistle, the end of the first half and the Rens leading the invaders from Father Penn's smokey domains by a 33 to 14 tally sheet. The visitors played with three men on the defense, sending one of the forwards back in their own half of the court. This strategy if it can be called such, availed them nothing. The second half saw the Rens stepping away at a faster pace and the rapidly weakening under the pressure. Pappy Ricks started the scoring this time and after Saitch added two more, Pappy proceeded to pile up enough points to win by himself. He either had a grudge against his home town boys or else he wanted to do the spanking himself so it could be said that Pittsburg was beaten by a Pittsburg boy. It was a slaughter from here on and Bob Douglas had to send out for a number of adding machines for the scorers and newspapermen to tally with, so fast were his champions scoring. The final score was Renaissance 78, Ricks Club 21. Edwards Breaks Record Phil Edwards broke his own meet record of 2:16 3/5 in winning the 1,000 yard run last Saturday night at the Metropolitan A. A. U. championship indoor track and field games. Edwards, defending his title won last year, led practically from the start, finishing in the splendid time of 2:15 2-5. The human greyhound from New York University ran a very heady race. He cleverly prevented himself from being pocketed by setting the early pace to string out the field of twenty runners. Once the athletes were well scattered over the course. Phil watched closely, his two most formidable rivals, Johnny Holden and Jimmy Kennedy. When William Warden a quarter mile runner challenged and swept into the lead at the end of the first lap, he ignored the challenge. He quickly realized that Warden was in there to set a killing pace for a purpose and he did not intend to be the victim of such strategy. Phil did not challenge until Holden made his bid and then the N. Y. U. Express set sail after Warden. He quickly over took the now badly winded pace setter and successfully staved off Holden's challenge. With the bell for the final lap, Phil uncorked a mighty sprint that neither Holden or Kennedy could meet and he swept to the tape in the new meet record time of 2:15 2/5, leading Holden by fifteen yards. Phil had a lot in reserve and had he been really pushed, the chances are he would have clipped fully three seconds from his old mark. He is just about at the peak of his form and even Lloyd Hahn or Hahn's recent conqueror, Ray Conger will find him a hard man to defeat from the half mile to the 1,000 yard run. George Godfrey Steps Los Angeles, Calif., Tues. George Godfrey is in tip top shape for his coming rompus with Paulino Uzcudum here next Tuesday (Feb. 28th) night. The big fellow has been working conscientiously for his coming tilt with the sturdy Spanish woodchopper. Godfrey with his little army of trainers, moved into the city last week to a local gym for the finishing touches of the long grind. Contrary to the usual tension of nerves and etc. so noticeable in the athlete in training, the big fellow is ever cherry and jocular. He has signed a contract to play a prominent part in a new photo Temple University Jots Registration worries gripped new and old students alike, as the new term approached, such is the struggle to obtain rosters with the easiest courses latest hours and most congenial company. Wise sayings among the registering students: "No", one student will tell his adviser, I can't put that subject on my roster. It conflicts with my English, and that's required." (If you are permitted to look closely enough you might see that it interfered with a course labeled "easy".) Another puts this problem for his adviser to solve: "I'll have to leave out all 8 o'clock classes; I really can't get there before nine at the earliest. Why you'd be surprised to know that I commute every morning." (Probably from West Philla, or Roxborough). * * * Relieved from examination and registration worries, Templeites are beginning to be more of themselves.

He will quote passages from Shapespear as he cuffs his sparring partners about or is punching the big sand-bag. He plays some imaginary role all the while he's working, which helps to relieve the monotony of the arduous work. But, while letting his sense of humor lighten the tedious grind of the daily routine, he works hard and conscientiously just the same. This was proven several times when he happened to drop a sparring mate with a short snappy upper cut. Godfrey has mastered this punch, which former champion Jack Johnson made famous. His timing and execution is almost as perfect as was Jack's. The Advertisers on this page are seeking your patronage. Won't you make it convenient to trade with them?

Williamson is ill at Carson's Sanitorium in Washington. Here's wishing for her speedy recovery and return. Grace Hodges and Mary Puckham deserve worlds of credit for the benefit card party they sponsored at Fritzgerald's last week. We'll agree that they know just how to plan an affair. Lenore Scott entertained the Les Jolies Club of which she is a member, Wednesday night. Good eats! Why, gangs of it; and although the holiday is weeks behind, eggnog was foaming and running like Niagara Falls. You just know they danced and did everything else in order.

HILL'S Cascara - Bromide - Quinine Billious to Bill From BALTIMORE I AM not satisfied with the way you disposed of that society leadership business, but before I go into that I wish to extend the congratulations of the Tattler to the latest newspaper to bow before the public in this locality. This new paper is a monthly and is named the "Antler". Its editor is J. Hermon Page, its business manager is John H. Berry and its treasurer is the doctor James H. Heelburn. This same Antler made its bow once before but has been lately adopted by the above named gentlemen. Its success is assured for the simple reason that while it is a private business venture, it has been put on the financial list. That is to say you pay for the Antler whether you want it or not. The Antler is to receive financial aid from the Lodge but the Lodge is to receive no financial returns from the Antler. From what I can understand it is to be run on the same plan the United States Shipping Board runs the American Merchant Marine, that is to say, the Government pays out all the money and private individuals get all of the returns. The Antler should be a "Squawking" success. Friday, February 24, 1928 Billious From BA Dear Bill: I AM not satisfied with the society leadership business wish to extend the congratulations newspaper to bow before. This new paper is a monthly editor is J. Hermon Page, its Berry and its treasurer is the same Antler made its lately adopted by the above process is assured for the simple private business venture, it a list.

From what run on the same plan the runs the American Merchant Government pays out all the get all of the returns. The Art success. From what I can see of the situation in New York you are in the same place you were some time ago now that the 'strivers" have drawn a technical black ball on Mrs. Lottie Cooper, claiming that she is not from New York at all but from East Orange, N. J. If the technical black ball is sustained, then it may be apparent to you that Miss Moryck is next in line, but I can't see it that way. Your conclusion regarding Miss Moryck is correct providing your premise is correct but your premise is all wrong. Miss Moryck never lead, directed, influenced or stabalized society in Baltimore. In spite of the fact Miss Moryck is a graduate of Wellesley College, a member of a bona fide sorority, possesses a college key which opens the door to all mysteries and can haul off with a pen in hand and put her findings down on paper, the fact still remains she never lead society in Baltimore. So far as her rubber checks are concerned I plead not guilty as I never had one of them, but of course the fact that I never had one to bounce back on me doesn't say that they are not rubber. Whether the lady carries her own cigarettes, knows when it is her turn to buy a drink, or takes a light gamble is something else that does in no way cloud my judgment in her past performances but I do know that the people down here are so old fashioned and so small townish that they will not stand for anybody leading their society who wears a wig. Think this over, then see if I am not yet right in the suggestion that Mary Jane Brown should be the acknowledged leader. It was thought that when the Hon. Rufus Byers became manager of a chain of theatres that these theatres would all improve simultaneously. Anyone seeing the theatres in Washington, Philadelphia and New York might believe that but upon a visit to the Royal theatre in Baltimore the mistake would be evident. The Royal has something on the gallery outfit that to attend Holliday St. and Blaney's theatres. Back in those days the "gallery gods" fought, howled, cat called and anything else they were big enough to do, until the special policeman would put in his appearance and take charge of the rowoes. The special policeman better known as the "bouncer" always --- called things to a halt when the situation became intolerable. At the Royal theatre this rowdyism is not only tolerated in the gallery but has been carried down in the first floor and into the boxes them selves. Especially is this situation general at matinee when obstreperous young men use vile and vulgar language, just as if enough of it is not already used on the stage. Up to date the local manager has seen fit at no time to protect his patrons against this nuisance. If friend Byers is really in earnest about making the Royal theatre the best in Baltimore he will investigate this condition and find a speedy remedy. Friend Byers might also note that this condition does not abstain up the street at the Regent. I could tell you about lots of things but at the present time I am all wrong about an account of many, many half pints. Bye-bye. From. Bye-bye. From, Billious P. S. Some people want to make Miss Whiting of the Y. W. C. A. the social leader of Baltimore but I nominate her for the "She gives me a Pain League." Buffalo On Tuesday evening the Shiloh Female Quartette broadcasted from WMAK, Lafaette Hotel. This quartette is probably the harest working singing unit in Buffalo.

Drs. J. M. Young and Ernest Cherrie assisted Dr. Carson throughout the operation. Dr. Carson deserves great praise for his skill in this rare and difficult operation. Ansonia. Conn.
