WILSON, Preprieter Telephone: Audubon 5786 --- --- --- --- JUST 3600 HALF seconds ago the first verse of a p envy of the immortal sages of Shelly's To A Lark. For your a The High Hatters JUST 3600 HALF seconds ago the Column went on a rampage and wrote the first verse of a poem that is destined to arouse the envy of the immortal sages of old. The inspiration came from Shelly's To A Lark. For your approval forthwith the poem: TO A. BRIDGES (Constantly intoxicated) All agree that sometime prohibition Is useless inhibition, Some agree that all-time inhibition Is useless prohibition, But all agree that all-time prohibition Is d----poor inhibition. AFTER SUCH AN elaborate start of prosaic poetic concoction it is appropriate to serve next an entree of ordinary chit-chat. (Please pronounce correctly or the essence will be infected.) The word chit-chat has no relation whatever to the word "chic" which is correctly pronounced "sheik." ANOTHER PORTION of the exclusive Dictionary is offered for your enlightenment along the lines of the column. EBONY FOUNDATION — Black bottom, sitting utensil. RIGHTEOUS—Correct, can't be beat, as it should be. HOPE TO SPIT—Certify, affirm, approve strongly. INFORMATION HAS JUST drifted in that the Lincoln Training School for Nurses has righteous attractions besides a proficient course. You've just got to consider Ruth Roland and Ruth Johnson. The Ruths are just the types that make you feel that heaven is so near. ALL KINDS OF INTERESTING THINGS are happening nowadays. An innocent observer came up to the column's desk with what he thought was a big find. He had THE WORLD'S FINEST FILM I Friday, April 20, 1928 * * * * * * * * * * * * picked up a slip of paper on which were written the names of three shows now playing at the downtown theatres. Specifically they were Two Lovers at the Chanin, Unborn Child at the Eltinge, and Take the Air at the Waldorf. Of course, the names of the theatres were omitted from the slip. The finder, not aware that these were plays, proffered his service to get the facts in the case for a small consideration. When asked what the case was he replied with great confidence, "Why, Two Lovers Unborn Child Take the Air." DUKE BERNARD of CORONA RETURNED from his quarterly trip to Amherst only to find that Merion Thompson was away. Now Duke believes that, "It must be somebody else that's why I miss you," will be a big hit. OF ALL THINGS, the column has discovered why Charles Buchanan was put in charge of the Savoy. When Galewski asked Buchanan why the Savoy was so much larger on Sundays than at any other time Buchanan replied to the satisfaction of Galewski, "Why, there are more feet in it.' OUT IN CLEVELAND a local paper selected Thomas Reeves and Moses Bruce, both of Central High. --- MINNIE MC-DOWELL, one of the favorites of the stage. Charming and winning. ```markdown ``` Minnie is sister to Pauline Recently Pauline was called Minnie, now the mystery is settled. Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. --- *** for its all-star basketball team. Tom and Mose can now lay claim to outstanding heroship of Cleveland by acclamation. * * * DID YOU EVER try to figure out why a cow can drink water and give milk, and we can drink milk and give—ourselves a stomach ache? * * * BEAUTY THOUGHTS. Gertrude Hawkins of St. Nicholas Place, Norma Talmadge of movie fame, and Ophelia Shields of the Y. W. C. A. are moving pictures of a million beauty thoughts combined. * * * THE COLUMN SCREAMS that if you want to see a cozy room and a little nest where lovely ladies croon, and a hostess that will make you think about the stars above the moon, get introduced to Mrs. Ada James. Never no forget Anabelle Winston and wee little MarJorie Harris. * * * THE COLUMN OPINES that Carl Van Vechten got his idea for "Nigger Heaven" from a Harlem cabaret grill. If Carl can get in on Harlem's society he might get inspiration to write "The White Man's Dilemma." * * * SPEAKING OF THE FIVE most popular song hits, did you stop to consider that, "Always-Remember-Shake That Thing- In the Middle of the Night-And I'll Be Happy," gets first call? 1 HELEN MITCHELL, well known stage celebrity who starred in Shuffle Along. * * * A FIRST LESSON IN BABY LANGUAGE. Two little tots were happily looking at some flies playing atop the pies and cakes in a bakery store. First boy—D. U. C. D. BEES, second boy, M. N. O. BEES, first boy, S. A. R. second boy, O. I. C. D. BEES. * * * WHILE AT THE Y. W. C. A. during the Easter days two ladies were heard discussing things in general. Among other things personal the first girl was heard to remark, or rather inquire, "Molly, I see you are wearing Teddies now." Growing very indignant, Delia yelled back, "Why, the idea, these are mine." * * * ISN'T IT STRANGE how easily one can be misunderstood? Well, Ann misunderstood Louise for absolutely no reason. Ann simply made this remark to Louise, "Lou, what would you do if a young man you had just met attempted to pet you?" Ann's face grew stern as she blushed and said angrily, "If he dared attempt such a thing on short notice I would sit on him and give him something to think about." * * * SOME SMART GUY PLAYED an Irish trick on the camera man Sunday. It all happened like this. This MAMIE BLACKBURN, a native of Montreal, Canada. She has visited New York for the past four summers, and likes the place. smart guy thought that the column was going to snap pictures in person and reversed the film package in the camera, thus preventing exposure. What a joke this would have been on the column if it had worked. Well, the office engaged a man especially to do this picture taking business and the column remained in to sleep and rest from too much of nothing to do. Well, after getting so many pretty ladies and nice men to look their Sunday looking and calling it a day, the photographer discovered that all the films were ruined—result—no pictures. Who was the joke on, the column is laughing at you, Mr. Smarty. * * * THAT IS SO MUCH LIKE the joke John P. Freeman played on the members of his class (Lincoln). John told all the boys that he was going to Atlantic City for two weeks on a vacation. Well, honest John was seen three days later on an open air taxi (bicycle) pushing the pedals. There were no extra passengers. * * * AN OFFICER REPORTED an accident which was the result of two street cars colliding. On the report the officer headed his description by this caption, Two Cars Crash FROM REAR END. The idea was carried out throughout the detailed description. The judge read the report and studied the situation picturing the two cars as they collided. After great deliberation the judge looked at the officer in bewilderment and inquired, "Officer, you say that these two cars crashed from the rear end." The officer replied, "Yes, your honor." The judge further questioning the officer asked, "Officer, will you please tell me in what direction these cars were going." The colmn agrees with the judge it is hard to see how the cars could have collided from the rear end unless they were both backing up. It is to laugh at the intelligence of the guardians of peace. * * * AFTER MUCH THOUGHT the column has decided that a fellow really can't hug a girl with SHORT DRESSES. On second thought a fellow can't even kiss a girl WITH ROUGE. In the first case a fellow has to use his arms, in the second case you will have to guess. THE COLUMN MET Ruth Macy and Muriel Hart. Very interesting and if anybody wants to get an eye-full of dainty personality plus big drops of fascination try and get the address from the column. It will be mostly try, but never no tell. * * * THERE IS A LITTLE LAD in the Renaissance Drug Store by the name of Victor. This lad likes to wait on the customers when they don't ask for anything too puzzling. Victor is a bright boy and usually take orders very well. A lady came in a few days ago and Victor rushed over and asked the customer, "What'll you have madam?" The lady answered, "Moth balls, please." Victor took the order, went in the back and told the proprietor that a lady wanted to be waited on. * * * A GOOD MANY PEOPLE WANT to know why the Bremen (the airplane piloted by Koehl which landed off Labrador mainland on its flight from Europe to America) succeeded in crossing the ocean while all other attempts failed. The column has just figured out the reason. The Bremen was successful because it had more Koehl (coal). * * * SNAP JUDGEMENT. Jack: What's Fred working at now? Sammy: He's an artist in a drug store. Jack: An artist in a drug store, what can he be drawing there? Sammy: He's drawing sodas * * * A young lady had experienced some difficulty in keeping the husband in tact. She decided to divorce him when all attempts to correct his faults failed. She consulted a lawyer on starting divorce proceedings. She: What will you charge to start divorce proceedings against my husband? Lawyer: A small sum. She: How small? Lawyer: One hundred dollars. She: You needn't bother I'll have him beat to death by the cops. DEBONAIRE. --- Social Snapshots Geraldyn Dismond OF Course I would be different and celebrate Easter by being ill. Instead of attending the Du-Bois-Cullen wedding and the hundreds of parties that started Easter Monday night, I betook my correct anatomy to bed for a week. Absolutely tricked by what is known as the popular La Grippe. At least I got twenty hours of sleep per day and that's no scrub record. And incidentally I discovered that my penchant for sweet peas is no secret and that friends are lovely creatures to possess. But from now on watch my dust. A week of rest has worked wonders in my attitude toward parties. So from now on—concentrate upon them and let their numbers be unlimited and their liquids of the non-stop variety. --- Both the Alpha Bowlings and Adelphi Bowlings held forth this week. The Alphas went to the New Star on Tuesday and had a packed house-every gentleman in his tail coat according to the request on his invitation, and his lady in SPANGLES. * * * The Adelphi selected the Manhattan for Friday where they did have a marvelous time according to all reports.

Every body voted it just too bad. Celebrities no end flocked to the Manhattan but the one who tricked them the most was Jack Dempsey who himself presented the loving cup (filled with king soup) to the twenty-five year old partners. Even the Coolbreeze made a special trip over from Philly for the event, and Atlantic City not to be outdone was represented by Alyss Mae Hershaw. Lenore Scott and Ruth Walls.

Dr. Peter Murray is on the Board of Trustees. * * * Ollie M. Porter and Lillian Tyness returned Sunday from a delightful motor trip to Atlantic City. While there they visited the schools of that city and also attended the meetings of the College Women's Club which was held Friday and Saturday. They also enjoyed many social activities in cluding the Benedict's Dance. Mrs. Laura Weddington entertained them at luncheon and breakfast while a bridge party was given in their honor by Mrs. Diggs and Miss Edyth Jenkins. --- Got my correct invitation for the Omega Prom in Washington.

Flowers and fruit no end and visitors galore. On the mend, thank you. * * * The Phi Beta Eddie Paris played Harlem for four days and returned to Detroit. The Phi Beta Doug Stubbs put in a week between St. Nicholas Avenue, Philly and Wilmington and left Monday for Harvard. The handsome Dr. Clarence Green paid us no mind. Everybody's talking about the "Trip to California" Popularity Contest being staged by the Women's Committee of 100 of the N. A. A. C. P. And, no wonder they're excited for look who's in the running.

Henry Beard De lany, who was one of the two Negro bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States, died at his home at St. Augustine's College, Raleigh, N. C., Sunday night.

Bishop Penick of North Carolina presided at the funeral which was held in St. Augustine's Chapel. THE INTER-STATE TATTLER His six sons acted as pall bearers and forty priests in vestments were in attendance. He was interred at Mount Hope Cemetery and the funeral procession which included the entire student body, dignitaries from the state, friends and relatives was a mile long. Bishop Delany began like a mason after he was graduated from St. Augustus School, Negro institution at Raleigh, N. C., in 1885. Four years later he returned to the school as a teacher and rose to the position of vice principal which he held until 1908. He was ordained a deacon in 1889 and advanced to the priesthood in 1892. For ten years, beginning in 1908, Bishop Delany was archdeacon of Negro work in the diocese of North Carolina. He received his doctor of divinity degree from Shaw University in 1911 and was elected suffragan bishop in May, 1918. * * * Mrs. Mary Garret wishes to thank her friends through the columns of the Tattle rfor the many kind expressions of sympathy extended to her during her four weeks of illness.

Page subscribes to nineteen summers and swears she'll never be a day older. Well who can blame her? Last Wednesday evening Evelyn Laney entertained friends at a sumptuous dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Braum Desverney, Mrs. Florence De Loatch Richardson, James Moore and Herbert Johnson who has just returned from Europe were her guests. And as the saying goes—a good time was had by all. \* \* \* One of our readers enquires about golf courses. Van Cortlandt Park has the only public course of which I know.

The Zo Phangs initial formal af- fair at the Walker Studio was one of the outstanding features of this spring's social season. Without a doubt, it was a huge success. The guests numbered about one hundred and fifty of Brooklyn's elites and they were up to the mark. The young ladies in a kaleidoscope of colors were well gowned and the escorts not to be out done, looked very debonair in their evening clothes. By ten o'clock every one was there thoroughly enjoying themselves. Of course, you know Brooklyn affairs begin on time and do not last much over two o'clock, even if given in New York. A good time was had by all, and we are looking forward to the next Zo Phangs affair. So many familiar faces were noticed. Reba McLain, pres.; Hazel T.

A great many of our people were at the Meteor Dansant. We also notice that the Amigoes, Delta Omega Gamma, and the Tangerines had boxes, where they all seemed to be enjoying the fun of the frolic. Eddie Groves looked just too neat. Wynant Lockley, Barrett Johnson, Malcolm Fulcher, Beauford Johnson, Grudy Whiting, all looked sharp at the Alpha basket ball game. The Delta Omega Gamma gave a too bad party which was a continual repetition of wine, women and song and then some.

The Easter holidays meant a great time for the younger kiddies of So. Yonkers, for on Thursday, April -2, little Irving Mann and Charles R.

The Chauffeur's League of Westchester County gave their 19th annual Easter Reception and Entertainment at the spacious Philisburgh Hall. As an added feature this year the New Negro Art Theatre presented Oscar Wilde's sensational tragedy "Salome." This story was beautifully presented by an exceptional cast. It was indeed a surprise to learn upon the rise of the curtain that the director himself, Mr. Winfield, was going to play the leading role of Salome. Albert Patrick, also of Yonkers, characterized Herod, the king, exceedingly well, while Mrs. Ethel Sawyer, most beautifully dressed, acted the role of Queen Herodious very well. The three mentioned were supported by the other members of the cast. After the play Mrs. Sawyer was presented with a basket of beautiful flowers by Mrs. Brannon of Boston, Mass. And the music was grand. S. J. Armbrister and his Westchester Night Hawks of New Rochelle furnished the music. All who attended seemed to enjoy the play and the dance.

The affair began at 12:30 o'clock A. M., after a gathering at the honorable president's home, Mr. Harold Majors where a meeting was held for a short while. Then the night club where we found the ball room decorated to the highest with gala lights and club colors, green and gold. The music was so sweet until it seemed as though it traveled only by the frills of decoration. At 1 o'clock the president gave an interesting address which started the program for the evening subject, "Membership"—Mr. James Copeland, Master of Ceremonies, conducted a splendid program lasting 45 minutes. Then he addressed the guests in such a way that they all felt as members. Mr. Joseph Raymond, guest of honor, from N. Y. C. also made an interesting talk on co-operation which I am sure brought some inspiration to members. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy and Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs arrived late and were welcomed by the admired couple, Mr. James Copeland and Miss Hazel Mitchell, the most admirable couples of the city. Mrs. Harold Majors and the honorable Miss Connie Baker were the fashions. Their gowns of tan and taffeta took the evening, at the same time all gowns were beautiful. ```markdown ``` Mr. Major Taylor, a very dutiful character of the club, was so much interested until he thought it would be his duty to furnish the transportation for the out of town guests which was done with much respect.

After viewing the picture the management lost no time in arranging an early showing "The Midnight Ace" is a gripping story, following upon the fundamentals of life with all of the twists, intensity and suspense that make for that type and kind of dramatic interest that not only holds you with vice-like interest, but sends you out-proud that the race actors have at last reached a worth while place in motion pictures. There is pathos; there is comedy; there is drama; there is melodrama. If ever there was, or could be made a super feature with an entire cast of Colored Players—then this is it! Remember the dates given so that you may avoid the rush. The Dixie Jubilee Singers were presented in recital by Mrs McGinnis Social Worker of Rutgers' Presbyterian Church, 73rd Street and Broadway, at the Friendly Service in the church house Sunday evening. Tea was served following the program. The recital studio is appointed in a most intimate style and the effect is that of a lovely drawing room. The soft charm of the room and plaintive beauty of the Spirituals and Folksongs combined to make the affair the most successful in many years according to those in charge. Numbers best received were: "Troubles Was Hard", led by Phillip Patterson, "Sol' Away to Georgia", by G. Willard MacLean. "Toll the Bell", by Lucille Dickson, and a special arrangement of Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho delivered by MacLean and Patterson Additional members to the company were Purnell Hall, Muriel Battey, Edward Jones, Eva Jessye, director and Edward Coleman, accompanist, who played as a piano solo ::Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child," by Coleridge-Taylor. * * * Lydia Mason will broadcast over WEVD on Thursday at 4:20 and Friday at 2:30. The Negro Art Group will be on the air from the same station Friday at 3:60. Eva Jessye sent in this note on the Negro achievement Hour on WABC last week. I listened in the past week to the Negro Achievement Hour over Coming To Your Ask The PETER ECK THE-MIDN WAEC and I wish to express in your columns my keen appreciation of the excellent singing of the Grace Congregational Church choir. It was certainly a credit to Harlem and the Race, which cannot be said of all features that go forth in our name over this and other stations. The piano solos were rendered in quite satisfactory manner and the composers, Mr. Hill of Philadelphia and Mr. Bornn, organist at Grace church evinced distinct talent and ability in the several compositions. Mr. W. Rollo Wilson of Philadelphia has an excellent radio voice, cultured and clear and he spoke of the Negro in Sports with the authority of one who knows his subject and loves it as well. In all it was a fine sixty minutes. The Frank Radcliff, blackface tenor who is now touring the B. F. Keith Circuit with wonderful success is playing New York and hopes to be able to make his Harlem fans curl up once more. He is all sharped up for spring and sends his best to the gang. ☆ ☆ ☆ Abbie Mitchell's recital at Engineering Auditorium last Sunday evening was the splendid affair that we expected.

Telephone, Market 9655 Page Nine Trailing the Spotlight By Theophilus Lewis How to Bill Drama ONCE again, thanks to the largeness of Mr. Schiffman, I enjoy the pass privilege of the Lafayette. That is to say I am the honored holder of a pass which admits me and my girl friend to any and all performances except on Satrudays, Sundays and holidays. In other words my pass will admit me to the theater any day except the days when it is most convenient and interesting for me to go there. But this isn't what I want to talk about. Far be it from me to belittle Mr. Schiffman's generous impulses. I hear he is about to issue season passes to St. Nicholas Park to the school kids. If any expression of ingratitude on my part should discourage him I would never forgive myself. But, as I say, that's not the bedbug under my shirt this week. What's itching me is the rascally attempt to assasinate drama which recently occurred on the Lafayette stage. For several weeks a number of conscientious actors have been making an effort to revive an interest in drama. They have received the cooperation of two of the local theaters—The Lincoln and the Alhambra. When they told me the Lafayette was about to fall in line I decided to use my pass privilege—not good on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays—and see what it was all about. What I saw was Laura Bowman and Sydney Kirkpatrick carrying out a Machiavellin scheme to discredit drama by making it appear ridiculous. They told me Miss Bowman and Mr. Kirkpatrick were giving a scene from the last act of "Three Weeks." The scene was in the palace of a petty European kingdom and the action was between the king and the queen which led up to the slaughter of the queen by her royal mate. The way our hero and heroine presented the scene looked like a wrangle between a night club doorman and the matron in charge of the ladies' retiring room. Miss Bowman's gown resembled something purchased at a rummage sale and Mr. Kirkpatrick's greasy unifrom looked like it had been discarded by the king's stable boy after the king's stallion had kicked him in the midden. (For definition of "midden" see Webster's Dictionary. It's an interesting word.) Worse still, both Miss Bowman and Mr. Kirkpatrick are by every rule of theatrical expediency unfitted for the roles they assumed. ... Mr. Kirkpatrick has never been better than a fair to middling actor able to interpret parts requiring a minimum on imagination and talent. His best work, so far as I can recall at present, was when he played the district attorney in "The Master Mind," a piece in which Clarence Muse entirely overshadowed him. Miss Bowman, on the other hand, is a bally competent actress. Under the auspices of favorable fates she might have been a great actress. Her recent work in "Meek Mose" was first rate without any reservation, and I am informed that in the current rehearsals of "Black Belt" she has given the management no little concern by her superiority to the rest of the company. But there are some things beyond the reach of ability and versatility. Those familiar with the story of "Three Weeks", in either novel or dramatic form, will recall that the heroine was a passionate, statuesque creature with oodles of sex appeal and IT. Obviously the part calls for a slim, sinuous actress able to strengthen the illusion of desire with every gesture and movement. It is conceivable that the Laura Bowman who delighted her audiences with the shadow scene in "Madame Sherry" could have played the part effectively. It is certain that the Laura Bowman who played the mother in "Meek Mose" cannot. Much to the loss of our stage, Miss Bowman has reached the period on life where her most effective work must be done in dowager parts. Flaming youth must be left to younger, even if less competent, women of the stage. The success of drama depends on sustained illusion, and with an unsophisticated audience like that of the Lafayette illusion is mainly created by the person of the actor. To cast a fat man in a dirty uniform in the role of a king, a man whose speech is anything but kingly—Mr. Kirkpatrick pronounces liaison as if it spelled "lyason"—is to give the drama a bad name. It is even worse to cast a middle-aged, stoutish woman in the role of a slim and passionate princess. The Lafayette audience does not know much about kings, and perhaps Mr. Kirkpatrick, in spite of his cap that looked like a horse had stepped on it, got away with his performance. But the same Lafayette audience knows a great deal about love and the time when a woman ceases to make a man's heart pump fast. To show a motherly woman boasting about her off stage passion is to present a false illusion, and to present false illusion is to discredit drama. It is not only to discredit drama, but to threaten to kill it as well.

Bc & es a er a py Ae u Bie, ae al Sea ts Er | es in al Beauty Secrets By * Mme. ae Co , Sara \y Washington ye Me fA | Improving the Eyes TE general health shows more quickly in the eyes than in any other part of the face, and the con- nection between all eye troubles and their beauty makes it seem that the only wholly successful beautifier of the eyes is good health. If a person gets run down, is nerv- ous, or tired, or irritable, the eyes tell the secret. Strained tired eyes are never beautiful, drooping lids hide expression, puffy, discolored or inflamed lids are unattractive, thin lashes and eyebrows give a peculiar expression. All these things may be remedied in great degree by healthful living and by care. One cannot change the shape of the eyes or their color, but these are of minor importance compared to the expression, and health gives an expression of joy in life that is beauty in itself. The elements of good health are ac- quired by exercise, proper diet, sleep and fresh air. Try these remedies and you will find that your eyes have lost their tired look and the dark circles have disap- peared from under them. - Cornwall Landing, N. Y.

Roy—Paris) NUMEROUS and devious are the roads to the feminine heart, but throughout the ages the atten- tive man has always known that beautiful, scintillating jewelry more than any other material object can produce the desired and apprecia- tive result. Perhaps it is because jewels and gold typify luxury, the little extra umnecessary touch which is loved and admired for its own sake and beauty. We know so well that in the affairs of the heart as well as in all human relation- ships “the little things” count for So much—the little thoughts of kindness, the little acts of courtesy. During the past weeks we have tried to show that this principle must be applied to the art of being well-dressed—that details and ac- cesories of a costume enhance or detract from the desired effect. We discussed color, shoes, hose and gloves, and now we come to the most important matter of jewelry The first quarter of the 20th Century offered no real innovations in jewelry except the use of plat- inum which added to the delicacy and intricacy of designs. Since the war we have had a Renaissance of display in jewelry. Mother’s and grandmother’s old sets of ear-rings, brooches, chains, bracelets and rings have been taken out of the safe for the younger generation to wear. With the annual summer migration of thousands of Ameri- cans with fat-lined purses to Eu- rope, old-fashioned, odd and lovely jewelry of all descriptions is brought back in triumph from Paris, Genoa, Zurick, Venice.

THIS column does not often affect the pose of a schoolmaster. We assume that most of our readers are as wise as we are and almost as virtuous. Be- sides we are of—well, let us say—a slothful and indifferent nature. We are always interested in the passing show of the world, sometimes we are even fascinated by it; but we are really too lazy to get excited about it. Hence, pogroms in Poland, famine in India and massacres in Armenia leave us equally unperturbed. Indeed we cannot even weep over a lynching in Alabama unless we are in a mellow alcoholic mood. Thus, our nature being indolent and our attitude toward life being cold and calluous, we usually limit our animadventures on the trend of events to whimsical and shallow observations, leaving to wiser, or at any rate more presumptious heads than ours, the task of finding the moral. We comment merely; never advise. We are not making a parade of our somewhat sophomoric cynicism with the intention of impressing the fair ones with our youth. Far from it. We readily confess our years to be more than we care to mention in the presence of flappers, what's left of our hair has its streaks of silver and we have grown sparing in our visits to friends who live higher than two flights up. We only want to show that ours is a nature not easily moved to emotion and that it takes a powerful wallop to jar our complacency. We were dwadling along in our habitual indifferent mood the other day when a friend gave us a copy of John Vandercook's "Black Majesty," and before we knew what was happening the book had landed a knockout sock right between our ears. The blow knocked our customary poise to kingdom come and we haven't recovered yet. We are still stirred up, excited and enthusiastic. The book deals with the careers of the three great heroes of the Haitian revolution for independence, l'Ouverture, Dessalines and Christophe, and if three nobler men have ever breathed the air of this foul world or if a more vivid book has ever been written about them these old ears have yet to hear the news. Mr. Vandercook has a rare talent for resuscitating the facts of history and making them appear as vivid in print as they were when clothed with human flesh and passion. His book combines the authority of history with the glamour and suspense of a thrilling novel. Against a background of oppression, misery, pillage, cruelty and other incidents of man's humanity to man, his three gallant heroes move like majestic silhouettes, themselves burning, pillaging, spreading desolation and engaging in all the crimes men commit in the name of liberty. He shows us the splendidly courageous Dessalines, a black combination of Cromwell and Count Cavour, every atom of him a fighter and acknowledging no loyalty except loyalty to his followers. "If I surrender to our enemies a hundred times," he said, "I will betray them a hundred times." Equally fascinating is the wise and brave l'Ouverture, who never commanded a soldier till he was fifty but still so consummate a military genius that he conquered a principality for Spain and then, changing his allegiance, reconquered it for France—but fighting all the time for Haiti. Finally Mr. Vandercook draws us a living picture of Christophe, who, as soldier and statesman, was probably the ablest man who ever lived in the New World. He was born a slave and he died a king, and if he was not every inch a king, Charlemagne was not one. In a brief span of years he transformed a war-torn wilderness into a prosperous kingdom. He encouraged husbandry and commerce, put the finances of his country on a sound basis and inaugurated a code of intelligent laws. We almost said humane laws, but they were really better than that. In common with virtually every other able sovereign of history he had a passion for building, and he has left at least one monument that will stand through the ages vieing with the pyramids. But we begin to rave. Worse. We offer advice; we even exhort. Every Negro should read this book or, if he cannot read himself, buy it and get somebody to read it to him. Above all every father and mother should see to it that the book gets into the hands of their children, and into their heads as well so that they may learn that all wisdom, ability and courage did not originate in Cau- Friday, April 20, 1928 BLACK MAJESTY casian carcasses. If we were the Mussolini of these diggings we would ordain that every adult Negro male found without a copy of Black Majesty after June 30th, year of our Lord 1928, should be escorted to some place of public assembly and awarded thirteen boots in the pants. Parent's Exposition OUR columns have stressed the necessity of our Harlem Parents visiting the exposition at Grand Central Palace from April 21 to 28. Tuesday, April 24, will be Parent's Day and any parent who has a child in the public schools will receive a pair of tickets for free admittance on that day.

HAMPTON GLEE CLUB GREAT TRUE to expectations, Dr. Dett and his 100 Hamptonias fulfilled the high hopes and aspirations of their backers when they soothed the appreciative crowd at Carnegie Hall last Monday night. The spirit of these singers is best exemplified in the remark of a mother of one of the girls whom I met in Virginia the Saturday previous to their coming. "My girl must have white shoes for this trip and I cannot afford them but she shall have them if I have to starve for a week." Such is the backbone of these struggling pupils who crowd Hampton each year. No wonder their success. Honor Roll at P. S. 5, Man. THE sons of Alexander S.

P. S. 136 Playground THE athletic activities and moving pictures will be resumed at P. S. 136, St. Nicholas Avenue and 135th Street, Thursday evening, April 19th, at 8:30 and will be open every Thursday and Friday thereafter until May 31st. On Thursday nights the senior and junior girls will play indoor baseball and tennis and other athletic sports. Fridays will be set aside for the little boys and girls and their parents. Free moving pictures, which the youngsters have greatly enjoyed will be shown and short lectures will be given. Before the Easter holidays the gym was largely attended by various girl basket ball teams and tennis clubs. There is plenty of room for all at the school so don't stay away as every thing is well supervised and the necessary equipment for the pleasure of the children has been well looked after by the members of the North Harlem Community Council. School Days Devoted To the Interests of Parent, Pupil and Teacher JAMES EGERT ALLEN, Editor Vacationing on the South THIS week finds the schools in full bloom after a strenuous Easter tide. College boys and girls have wended their way back to the various "Halls of Learning" filled with pleasant reminiscences of the days that passed all too hurriedly. Up and down our avenues, Young America promenades with arms filled with books longing for the next break in their scholastic career. It was a pleasant task to leave our familiar surroundings and start for the fair land of Dixie so on the night of the day that is known as Good Friday we crossed the majestic Hudson for the plains of Jersey en route to the "City of Brotherly Love." Through the villages we sped, gazing at the historical spots that bespeak of the famous battles in the days of '76 days of the Revolution. New Brunswick and Trenton, scenes of faded from view and soon Philadelphia loomed up before us. Around old City Hall, home of our "Liberty Bell" and site of the signing of the "Declaration of Independence", thence towards our first stop, Lincoln University. The wee hours of the morning plus the holiday season found the institution likened to Goldsmith's "Deserted Village." Anyway we received an early baptism into the collegiate atmosphere and started for Baltimore and dear old Morgan College. Saturday morning's activities were in full swing as we drove around the beautiful campus and inspected the spacious buildings. Thoroughness and cleanliness seemed to radiate from every person and every spot seen. The "Spirit of Morgan" reigned supreme. After a tasty meal we headed for the Capital and noted Howard. The familiar grounds appeared in view and soon we were wending our way through the many buildings and especially through the new medical structure that would grace the campus of any institution in the country. We were just a day before the dedication and then many were pouring into Washington to witness the great celebration. Another hour of visiting and then we were on our way to Virginia, Richmond being the first stop. The well-paved roads turned back the miles in continuous succession. The historical landmarks stood out in bold relief and carried our minds back to the days of '65. A famous old church here, a great battle ground there, an old tavern further on and finally Richmond, the famous city that Grant loved so dearly, nesting on its picturesque hills On all sides are seen evidences of history that all students remember. The old Capitol and the spot of the Confederate prison still remind one of the struggle between the North and South. A brief rest with friends and then the last lap of the journey with Newport News as the destination. More history as we glide through the tall pines that are famous because of General George McClellan and the furious "Battle of Seven Pines". More taverns, more historic churches, more cities of bloody battles and then Williams-college in America, William and Mary. Buildings that former presidents studied in are still there. The quaintness of the town is superb. Even the inhabitants seem to live in the days of yore. Leaving this historic section we at last lauded in Newport News with its Page Eleven bustling shipyards and beautiful waters. The 18 hour drive had bestowed a full appetite upon me, and my first call was for what has helped to make Virginia famous—"Smithfield Hams." The Easter Sabbath dawned bright and early and I arose with the dawning as a widely advertised pageant was scheduled for six o'clock. Think of a beautiful church lavishly decorated for an appealing performance entitled "The Rugged Cross" and admirably performed by some of the best talent in the little tidewater city with the principal of the high school taking the leading part in the solo work. This service was one of five I attended during the day and each attendance calling for a few remarks from a visitor from New York, the great and wild city. Easter Monday was spent on the famous Hampton Institute grounds. The Hampton Glee Club, who gave us such a wonderful interpretation of Negro "spirituals", gave a special rendition of several selection for our party through the courtesy of Mr. Dett. From building to building we strolled meeting old acquaintances and each one accompanied by an invitation to tea, to dinner or to some exclusive post-lenten affair. Tuesday was given to the Newport News High School, presided over by Prof. L. F. Palmer and a wonderful staff of assistants. Naturally the cafeteria luncheon was the thing that brought the greatest attraction. A detailed study was made of this school and it compares favorably with the best in the south that I have seen. Evening carried us to the noted beach and summer resort known as Buckroe where 250 couples danced the evening away as the wild waves rushed against the pavilion. Wednesday we wandered up Richmond way, again passing through many historical centers such as Yorktown of Revolution fame. The early evening was spent in looking in upon friends of college days and in making new acquaintances. A party at night and all in our honor was the main attraction. Another breakfast party accompanied by a real breakfast was indulged in before we started for the grounds of Virginia Union University, made famous in New York by "Moonlight Sails" up the Hudson, being piloted by Drs. Galvin and Cooke. The first stop naturally was my "frat" room where the boys gladly received me, then a tour of inspection with our Pan-Hellenic interpreter, Rayford Logan, in charge. Such massive stone structures, jolly boys and girls and learned instructors would make a peculiar feeling creep over anyone who has experienced college days. The noon hour was the signal for leaving as Newport News must be reached for a two o'clock luncheon At two we were eating and it was Fifth Avenue (down town) personified. The hostess, Mrs. Cofield, sat us in a garden of flowers and each mouthful of food seemed to taste of nectar. People really like to eat in this town as a dinner engagement made to Mrs. Jackson and her gifted sons had to be still followed by a light but "heavy" repast at the party of Miss Sarah Tucker which concluded the evening and took part of the early morning. Friday was reserved for the "New York of the south," Norfolk, and suffice it to say that there is 99 and 9-10 per cent of truth in that remark. I have already reserved a room for two weeks in August. Saturday night after kind Mrs. Robinson's reception, the gang bade Virginia adieu but "the memory lingers on." Page Twelve Basketball Boxing, T Matthews W Basketball, Boxing, Tennis Sport News (By BENNIE BUTLER) Track and Field Athletics Matthews Was One of Harvard's Immortal Luminaries When the Grim Reaper called the third and final strike on William Clarence Matthews, one of the greatest athletes of all time and particularly of Harvard University, crossed the Great Divide, leaving behind him a record of athletic brilliancy and gentlemanly deportment that won him undying glory and the admiration and love of all men. A. Bennie Butler Matty, as he was affectionately called by his army of friends, was one of three outstanding Aframerican athletes who made athletic history and upheld the prestige of old John Harvard. The other two being William H. Lewis and Ned Gourdin. Lewis starred at football while the other two were all around athletes. Gourdin was Harvard's mainstay in track and field athletics seven or eight years ago. He competed in the two dash events and running broad jump. He was also a corking good baseball and basketball player and a near champ in the pentathlon event. Mathews carried the crimson colors to victory time and time again on the diamond, where his timely hits scored the winning runs or his brilliant work at short stop turned back the attacking teams. There were not many greater diamond luminaries produced in the colleges than this sterling player. While few, other than his intimate friends and the student body at Phillips Academy, knew it Matty was a winning track athlete in his earlier school days and was the first Negro to ever captain an eastern all-white prep school baseball team. Although he competed in Boot Black Shine 54 Student HARVARD Star Athlete AssF.U.S.District F Attorney Brief sketches of the Late WILLIAM C. MATTHEWS rise from obscurity to glorious success in world affairs. several track meets while at Harvard and played end against Yale for the Crimson, his forte was baseball. On leaving Harvard, he became associated with a number of semi-pro ball players for week end games. Later he broke into the Tri. State League, playing with Burlington if memory serves me right. But Matty saw most of his service on the bench or in the grandstands, the players being hostile to a Negro athlete. The life story of this courageous, heroic soul reads much like a Horatio Alger story. He has done much to prove to the Aframerican boy the value of an end education. He has done much to prove that anything worth having must be stubbornly fought for every hour of the day. Only by painful, heart-rending sacrifices did Matthews reach the heights that made him an outstanding figure of the race. He gained his prominence by dint of hard work and conscientious effort. He has conclusively proven that prejudice due to color may handicap a man, but it can't keep him back if he has the stuff and the heart to scale the heights. For, when he fell asleep never no more to awaken in this vale of tears, he had won recognition beyond his wildest expectations. Matthews was born in Alabama in 1877. He attended Tuskegge Institute at the age of 16, spending four years there, with exceptional honors as a student and athlete. But the limitations of the school and the schools of the south caused him to migrate to New England. By hard work and sacrifice he managed to save up enough money to pay his expenses to Massachusetts. Then again it was work and still greater sacrifices as he struggled courageously and studied hard for his entry into the fashionable Andover Academy. But he eventually overcame all obstacles and succeeded in getting admitted. After that, the road became less rocky for the ambitious Alabama youth. Once within the portals of the illustrious old New England preparatory school, the rest was much easier. He soon turned his athletic powers to advantage and romped to victory in a number of foot races. Then he played conspicuous roles in the school's baseball and football activities and his name was featured on the sport pages of the New England newspapers. About this time, Harvard University football scouts who recruited many football players from Andover, became interested in the activities of the ebony youngster and watched him carefully. Young Matty, as he was known to the students, while ignorant of the attention he was attracting, performed one spectacular feat after another in rapid succession. But he never neglected his studies and worked at all sorts of menial jobs to meet his expenses. In the summer months he worked as a Pullman porter but in his spare moments, he devoted his time to study. Then came the great day and Harvard University. His athletic reputation had beaten him there and old John Harvard looked forward to the day when he would launch this mighty little son of Ham against Yale, in a football game. Matthews did play against Yale and was dangerously injured on the first play. This came near to causing a rupture between the two great New England Institutions but Matty saved the day. He publicly declared that the Yale players had not deliberately injured him, that it was an accident for which no one was responsible. That scattered the war-clouds and prevented the threatened rupture between the schools. With the close of his student life at Harvard, he completed his law studies at Boston University, getting his degree from there in 1907. For a while he acted as athletic instructor at several New England schools, following which he became active in politics. In 1913 he was made a special assistant to the U. S. Attorney General of Massachusetts. Then honors were showered upon him thick and fast. At the time of his death, he was United States Assistant District Attorney. He was an intimate friend of President Calvin Coolidge and practically every great statesman of New England. The Afra-American in Baseball While some of my fellow scrworried or excited about the pro ball League, it put me in mind Revolution. Here's a world of c this so-called "baseball league" an baseball magnates, the officials of comedians and clowns. Now, as a matter of fact, a N at this late day. Baseball has been that the powers that be will not t or for Negro fans. Colored base to book and play games and color at least two days in the week. While some of my fellow scribes here and elsewhere seem a bit worried or excited about the prospects of the Eastern Negro Baseball League, it put me in mind of a South American or Mexican Revolution. Here's a world of comedy and buffoonery mixed up in this so-called "baseball league" and I sure get a kick out of it. As baseball magnates, the officials of this Eastern League are excellent comedians and clowns. Now, as a matter of fact, a Negro baseball league is not feasible at this late day. Baseball has been commercialized to suhc an extent that the powers that be will not tolerate another league, even among or for Negro fans. Colored baseball clubs wildcatting, will be able to book and play games and colored baseball athletes will find work at least two days in the week. But you can take it from yours truly, that no Negro baseball league will get very far. Remember how the Federal League went to smash trying to buck the established leagues? The Federal League was well financed with shrewd, brainy leaders, something which this Negro League has not. They were able to obtain several parks and athletes of prominence but they failed to make the grade. At the time when the Federal League started their hopeles fight, I was in Kansas City, Missouri, pounding out sport news for the K. C. Call. I remember making a suggestion to Messrs. Wilkinson and the late Rube Foster of the Kansas City Monarchs and American Giants, Chicago, respectively. We were sitting in the home team's dugout discussing the Federal League and baseball in general. It struck me that in as much as the newly organized league planned using the outlawed Chicago "White Sox" for lack of high class players, it would be advantageous all around if the Western Negro Baseball League and the hard presed newly organized Federal League combined. Foster became highly indignant and the argument became rather heated. But the suggestion sounded so good to me that I ran an editorial on the subject the following week. That caused a rupture between us and the famous baseball Czar bitterly attacked me in a Chicago paper for suggesting that colored baseball players organize with crooks. But Rube lost sight of the fact that some of the white men handling the affairs of the Aframerican ball players would not stand the light nor could some of the ebony directors. As for the "White Sox," well, they were just a few of the crooked big league players. The others were being covered up. My idea was to force recognition for the colored athlete. To my way of reasoning, discrimination was and is a far greater crime than throwing ball games. In the first place, gambling is a crime and the --- ribes here and elsewhere seem a bit prospects of the Eastern Negro Baseball of a South American or Mexican comedy and buffoonery mixed up in and I sure get a kick out of it. As of this Eastern League are excellent Negro baseball league is not feasible on commercialized to suhc an extent tolerate another league, even among ball clubs wildcatting, will be able baseball athletes will find work only people who were hurt were the gamblers when the games were tossed. But discrimination robbed a man of the opportunity of earning his bread and butter because of color. So, of the two, I favored the lesser of two evils. The National and American Baseball Leagues discriminated against colored athletes, refused to use them because of their color. The Federal League and the crooked diamond stars were ready to throw open the doors of "Opportunity," giving the Negro players a chance. It mattered not why they were willing, any more than did the cause of the Emancipation Proclamation and the freeing of the Negro slaves during the Civil War. Needing players badly and their backs against the wall with a fortune at stake, I felt that the Federal League would have jumped at the opportunity to get hold of thirty-five or fifty good players. True, the athletes would not be up to big league standards, but this would be offset by the tremendous interest that would be aroused by the introduction of Negro athletes to the big league baseball fans. However, the opportunity was ignored and the one and only opportunity for Aframerican ball players to get into the big leagues without masquerading as Cubans, Mexicans or something went aglimmering.

The former world's heavyweight champion, who lost his title to Jess Willard way back in 1915, endeavored to show the fight fans of this section of the country that he still could fight. For four rounds he gave his yunger adversary lessons in the manly art. But the ex-champ weakened in the fifth. Wright quickly took advantage of the situation and landed hard and often.
