Your items must not be of a personal or vindictive nature, but written for a laugh. It is not our policy to permit the use of our columns for personal references or to aid any one's spiteful disposition. But we will appreciate humorous incidents that may have happened to your friend or even yourself. Now let's hear from you. This is your page so keep it clean. * * * THE HANDSOME DUKE ELLINGTON stopped in last week to admonish Lady Nicotine for calling him handsome. The Lady looked him over in his correct English walker and sweetly replied: "I can't help it if you are the proper height and brown." * * * AND TO THINK that little Aroma was cheating. We won't tell on you this time, but next time we catch you at the "Breakfast Dance" we're sure gonner tell. *** GUESS GLADYS MUSTER won. We saw her the next day around five in the evening, having breakfast. Guess we'll have to take up banjo pickin in order to horn in with the Gladys. ** HERE'S THE LOWEST lowdown on a High Hatter social entertainer, Hilda Perlino. She's doing a buck and swing now, entertaining at the Bamboo Inn, Hilda, Hilda, what next? \* \* \* VIRGINIA ERPAPPY RICK'S Virginia is sure some heartbreaker. Saw the sweet little mamma Sunday night wrapped in the arms of another. Wonder if she'll be able to exhaust the supply of males now loose in the big city? \* \* \* AL MOSBY SEEMS to be deeply interested in "Jackie" Young these days. What's the matter Al, with the other lovin' browns. * * * BOB OF THE SAVOY is gettin' leaner and sadder looking every day. Better come home Del or the poor boy 'll worry himself to death. * * * SOME ACCUSE THE Prepossessing Mrs. Harry Wills of being self-opinionated and possessing all the little demonds that goes with it. But they're all wet. If you were ever fortunate enough to "get in" on one of her little parties you would find that she is one of the most efficient hostesses in the game. Just ask Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Maceo Pinkard, Mr. and Mrs. Gene Fisher about the large evening they spent last Saturday. LUCILLE ROBINSON is still in the Village and no trouble. THE CUTE LITTLE brown, Grace Brooks, is all smiles back with her daddy in her new apartment. * * * BILL DEAN, the Harlem play boy, left this week for Chicago for a short vacation. Watch your step, old chap, the Chicago queens are so different. ```markdown ``` WILLIE MAE WILBANKS. Lucille Hawkins, a couple of charming vamps from the South, seem well acclimated since reaching New York. The N. Y. girls say they're no trouble. NOTICE. FROM NOW ON the former Dewey Curtis will answer only to George Dewey Curtis. A swank blue camel's hair coat may be the underlying cause. --- A FRIEND OF THE Chicago "Light' wrote us about a certain Betty Crouse, going wild over him. Wonder if the poor fish knows who the lady's eastern representative is? * * * HENRY GILBERT of Cleveland and who parked his anatomy for over a year in our midst, is enroute back here again. Why, may we ask Henry? Is it because the Gordon Water is better here or are our maids the sweeter. And what's the matter with Cleveland? *** WONDER WHY THE "Slim Princess" makes so many trips to Baltimore? Or is it Philadelphia? The Maude Russell is some popular dancer. But then she's a Texas lassie and they sure are the class. J. C. K. MAE HOLMES hopes that folks will understand that she's sitting on the barrel, not "in it, and there's no danger of her even slipping in it. Fascinating Mae is a contestant in the Tattler's "New York To Paris Contest" starting this week. She expects all her friends to aid her. * * * FLORENCE LATNEY, since she's been entertaining the "High Hatters" is so aristocratic these days. As for Edith (Jackie) Young, well when it comes to the High Hat, "Jackie" wears it down to a low gravy. \* \* \* THE RED AND EDGAR HAYES were in power early Sunday morning in Mexico. A lady member of the High Hatters worried the manager to death to find out the correct name of the "Red", who happens to be Sterling Grant. * * * WHEN YOU SEE A MAN with another man's wife or you see a woman with another woman's husband, that aint news. But when you see a man with his own wife or a woman with her own husband, that's news. KATY CRIPPEN, NOW THAT she's being sued for a divorce, has become socially prominent and how. She's due for a lot of publicity along with all the other big Ofay actresses. * * * PAGE ALLEN IS SO pestered with these want-to-be "Daddy's" that life is becoming a burden. Well, remember Page, you told us that the happiest days of your life were the past six months spent at the world's finest ballroom, the Savoy. ```markdown ``` EDDIE ARMSTEAD, POPULAR restauranteur, now catering to the "coffee and biscuit" patronage in the new Strivers Row (St. Nicholas Place) says he's going to Paris to collaborate with Wm. Anderson, operating an American kitchen in the Montmarte. His high-brow trade is evidently unprofitable. * * * THE DEBONAIR GARLAND Patton of Letitia Brown fame is again back home—this time "sweet home," after a pleasing visit in Chicago. Although the gallant Garland is not carrying his correct bank roll, his friends wish him a hearty welcome. 1 MRS. HARRY WILLS emphatically denies and brands as lies, the rumor that she and big Harry are on the outs. The "Brown Panther" as ole Harry was known in the heyday of his fighting career, may stage a comeback this summer. He has two shots in view. * * * MARION JONES, CHARMING little stage beauty, who retired from the footlight to raise a family, has completed her task most successfully and is now a member of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds". She is simply adorable and maternity has complimented her with no ills. * * * DORA BELL, the tantalizing brown, and her daddy, Julius Purcell, motored to Asbury Park for the Lester's dance and believe us they pitched a righteous time. We are still wondering who the others in the party were. *** SINCE THE TWO MAJORIES were flashed on our cover (last week) we have had numerous inquiries as to who are the pretty children. That's pretty fair proof that the surest road to popularity, (if you're good looking) is to get your picture on the Tattler cover. BILL GEORGE, POPULAR clubman, and well known manager of the Apex. Chicago, enjoyed a pleasant visit in the city as the guest of his colleague, Johnny Carey. Bill seems to like the flavor of the caresses of our dames and each time keeps 'em well in his clutches. One thing they are always glad to see Bill here as he The Inter-State Tattler Published Friday of every week by the Inter-State Tattler Publishing Co., Inc., 2296 Seventh Avenue, New York, N. Y.

One "bird" wanted to take away her cigarette rack so he could dance, but she said "no--this is strictly business." * * * HILDA HAS HER PEDRO, now that George is not around. But what'll happen we just don't know when the George gets back in town. But at that, Hilda's fast at turning corners and how. * * * THE FREDDY IVORY, tickler of Saparo's orchestra, h as more women than the law allows. He parked in front of the Tattler office the other day, making a date with a pretty pink. Some day the devil will catch up with you Freddy and oh my. Husbands get tired ever so often of being chewed in the back by you musicians. THE FASHION STAR DOROTHY CONYERS, winner of the SAVOY Bathing Beauty Contest last summer, will strive to win first prize in the Tattler's "New York To Paris Contest" which begins this week. WELL, WE SEE THAT the Dorothy, over whom Roy Ottley raved, has quit us flat to join a theatrical company. Dotty is a dancer and how.

ETHEL BERNICE AND little May Bushy are creating a riot of envy among the shebas and teasing the sheiks in their too-bad Parisian ensembles. Atta ba-bee huh. THE DO-RA-ME SISTERS, Edna and Helen who sing do-ra-me but get me-far-so, still think they're the big cheese. Helen ought to wear a Simmond's on her back. Would be rather convenient for her. WE WOULD LIKE to know just what kind of gin George Lee drinks that made him try to whip the Alhambra Theatre back stage general manager and director. THE QUEEN OF NEW Striver's Row (75 St. Nicholas Place) is much annoyed because her friends she alleges are so interested in the king's affairs. Hazel just sits on her throne and laughs and laughs at them. MARIE DOVE, the charming little artist of the fantastic toe is again on Broadway. She looks fine and stands out like a loud speaker. LEOLA LILLIARD, THE entiquette writer, is all smiles now that she will soon be on the "carpet". She expects the final decree 'fore long. C. LUCKEYTHE ROBERTS, the little music master of Broadway, returned from a prosperous season spent in Palm Beach. Lucky motored back in his Marmon straight eight, in the pink of good health and happiness. SAY CATHERINE YATES, wake up. Don't be no fool; Stanley is sweet on Miss Paige—don't you know it? WE MET OUR GOOD friend Charley Lane dining with the real High Hatters Sunday evening at the Bamboo. Well, the girls went wild, for Charley is one of Washington's noted "butter and" men. WE SAW DUDE ADAMS in a reculiar neighborhood the other day and t'was natural that we should wonder. "How come." Drop in the office Dude and tell us all. THE COLUMN WISHES to make the following correction in reference to an item appearing in this column last week, to the effect that Anita Thompson had been charged with alienating the affections of Lee Shipley, the husband of Edna Deaver Shipley.

It is not a matter of vanity, or self conceit, but purely a necessary business asset, in keeping with future fame and fortune. Every successful artist, regardless of his or her line, appropriates a certain portion of his salary each year for publicity. It is just as vital and important for an artist to do this as it is for a manufacturer to advertise his products for a theatre manager to advertise his show for the restauranteur to advertise his food, et cetra. These expenses are paid out of the profits of this business. trained experts for the purpose, known as "press F G. Snelson, Jr. agents", oftimes at an enormous expense. Paying for publicity is a legitimate bill and just as reasonable as rent, light or any other utility. In fact such bills must be paid and are collectable by law, if necessary. Very few of our performers pay such bills with the feeling that they are paying an honest debt. Most of them consider they are doing an act of charity when they pay for publicity. It is regrettable that so many of our foremost artists are stupid in this manner. They never hesitate when it comes to paying their garage bill, the jeweler, the dyer and cleaner, etc., but when they pay for an advertisement or a write-up, they think they are being robbed—police! help! murder, gosh, its absolutely ridiculous. WORLD'S GREATEST COLORED SHOW Liberty Theatre West 42nd Street Al Wilkins and Mike Riley, "The Midnite Steppers" who sailed March 14 for an European engagement are meeting with great success at the Cafe Casanova, Berlin, Germany. Their next engagement includes Hamburg, where they will remain the month of May to be followed by Follies Bergere in Paris. --- Directly following the benefit of the Florence Mills Memorial Fund in Chicago is the announcement of a midnight benefit to be held at the Howard Theatre, Washington, D. C. on May 8, under the direction of Bill (Bojangles) Robinson. Moss and Frye, Howard and Brown, Smith and Boatner, Chester and DeVere are among those who have consented to appear. A.

Alberta Hunter now taking the part in "Queenie," the role played by "Aunt Jemima" in the New York Symphony Company, in the London cast of "Show Boat" at the Drury Lane Theatre. Pauline Jackson of the former "Rang Tang" was highly ovated at a benefit given in her behalf at the Royal, Baltimore. A talented list of home talent appeared on the program to a most appreciative audience. Pauline is raising funds to defray expenses of her proposed "swim" across the English Channel this summer. J.

De COMATHIERE Supported by Mabel Kelly William Edmonson Susie Sutton Walter Cornick And A Strong Cast of Colored Players CONTINUOUS SHOWING BEGINNING AT ONE O'CLOCK Usual Comedies, Serials and News Events The Irvin C. Miller Productions are still the principal attractions on the road, and continue to win great favor. The week of April 30th finds "The Brown Skin Models" at the Frolic Theatre, Birmingham, Ala.; "Blue Baby" at the Koppin, Detroit, Mich. ```markdown ``` Dusty Fletcher and Grace Smith, recent additions to the "All Girl Revue," are being well received this week at the Roosevelt, Cincinnati, Ohio. ```markdown ``` "Broadway Rastus," in which Mr. Miller himself is appearing, created quite a record in Philadelphia last week and is moving to the Elmore, Pittsburgh, Pa. this week. Since the old master returned to the footlights they are crying for his show all over the country. They say that he is at his best. --- Noble Sissle's accompanist, Harry Revel, has been associated with him in the composing of several numbers, six of which have been published in the last three months of the leading music companies. Among which are the following: "Westward Bound," "Since You Have Left Me," "Nebraska," "What Do We Care," "Guiding Mo Back Home" and "Iris." * * * Hilda Perlino, Florence Latney and Jackie Young, are struttin' their "mean" material at Bamboo Inn. They are well liked and their work is clever. * * * Percy Colston, well known comedian, who underwent an operation recently a Belevue Hospital, is still in a critical condition. The profession wishes him a speedy recovery. Slim Henderson, for some time Harlem's favorite comedian, is quite ill at his residence. Slim leaves the city soon for another location, in the hope of improving his health. * * * Blanche Thompson, now managing the general offices of the Irvin C. Miller Productions, was a visitor in the Quaker City last week-end. "Encore" in London Has to Say: Since it was first presented at the Empire with Florence Mills in the cast, "Blackbirds" has lost none of its popularity. Crowded houses are seeing dancing, the like of which they will not see again for a long time. Eddie Hunter is a sterling comedian, who has an original style, and some very funny exclamations. The bulk of the "smart" dancing is left to Johnny Nitt, who claims to be the world's greatest THE INTERSTATE TATTLER tap dancer and we believe him. Williams and Taylor have a lot to do in the show and of course it is done with their usual excellence. Layton and Johnstone head the bill at Leeds. Their wireless and gramophone reputation is enhanced when you hear and see these two clever artists in the flesh, as theirs is syncopation at its best. --- Johnny Hudgins, the original "Wawa" colored, silent comedian from "Blackbirds," arrived here after six months at the Moulin Rouge, Paris, and opened Monday in Variety at Holborn and cabaret at the Kit-Cat Restaurant with conspicuous success. He was glad to see so many friends and receive so many cables and wires of good wishes, and emphasizes his preference for English audiences, although he has played almost all over the Continent. Johnny will be remembered for his origination of the skating dance and the "Mwa Mwa" burlesque. His future movements are undecided, but he opens on Monday at the Alhambra. Johnny feels the lack of the revue all-colored atmosphere, and misses the friendship of that dear personality of Florence Mills. Concert Artists A joint recital of A. E. Nixon, baritone; H. Gallwey, violinist; and Owen D. Telfair, pianist and accompanist was held on Monday evening, at Grace Congregational Church. * * * Olive Norman, coloratura soprano, gave a song recital on Thursday, April 26, at the Imperial Elks' Auditorium. ```markdown ``` Thomas R.

He was accompanied by Edward Margetson. The Theatre LAFAYETTE Seventh Avenue at 132nd St. Tel. Morn. 1811 NOW PLAYING (UP TO SUNDAY, MAY 5) ED. SMALLS' Paradise Revue With Charles Johnon's Band AND AN AUGMENTED CAST OF 35 POPULAR ARTISTS AL JOLSON — in — “The Jazz Singer” NEXT WEEK—BEGINNING MONDAY, MAY 7 EDITH WILSON HIGHTOWER TRIO ROSCOE MONTELLA — IN — “CREOLE REVELS” Also the Photoplay Sensation “IVAN, THE TERRIBLE” Friday, May 4, 1928 The Harlem AT THE LAFAYETTE Theatre this week, Ed Smalls' Paradise Revue hold forth and with a very good cast. Headed by Charlie Johnson's Paradise Ten, Alto Oates, Dewey Brown, Bea Foote, Blondina Stern, Sherman, White and little "Jazzbo" Hilliard, the Paradise Revue wins instant favor. The musical and dancing part of the program is good on the whole but the comedy is a bit moss-eaten. This is no fault of the entertainers, who work with what they were given. The old rose bit which have been worked at this house by some company almost every four or fifth week, is again in evidence. Yet it gets a big laugh, which only goes to prove the ability of the performers to entertain. All in all, the entertainment is good, with the work of the band and the female entertainers standing out in bold relief. The costumes of the chorus maids are attractive and the three stars know what to wear and how to wear their gowns. --- THE ALHAMBRA presentation for the week is winning constant favor of its patrons. "The dramatic vehicle. "The House of Lies" proved quite interesting indeed. A realistic, true to life orgy full of wit and humor, very halarious in tone. Fannie Laine, a new addition to the cast, plays the part of the true and unfaithful wife with exceptional ability, her delivery was real, positive and accurate. As usual Susie Sutton demonstrates her prowess cunningly. Criner and Thompson are always well received. Alice Gorgas should be complimented upon her continual improvement. It is impossible for one to overlook the much complimented Alhambra chorus, while Sandy Burns keeps 'em chuckling throughout the evening. --- AT THE LINCOLN is a continuation dramatic sketch entitled "The Murder of Eddie Griggs", another spectacular piece representing a sequel of "Within the Law" which was last week's offering. It is an interesting portrayal of treachery, deceit, blended cleverly with tears and mirth. Monte Hawley takes the leading role this week, and shows a great improvement. Ida still uses her soul stirring manner to great advantage. Lincoln patrons. judging from LAFAY Seventh Avenue at 132nd NOW PLAYING (UP ED. SMALLS' Paradiso Revue their applause seem to have developed a sudden admiration for the drama. The musical end of the show holds up well with John Mason, Rosa Henderson and Kitty Brown. THE NEW YORK TIMES DUSTY FLETCHER who joined the Alhambra Players this week, is one of the best of the younger black face comedians. HURTIG AND SEAMON's presented Chubby Drisdale's "Red Hots" in a fast moving burlesque vehicle with a pretty nifty past. Miss Drisdale as Miss Red Hot and just raring to go is certainly a warm little worker, in there every second or so and then some more. She has a strong supporting cast and a fine chorus ensemble. Billy Wallace, Les Dunn, Gaby Fields, Bill Pitzer, Ina Thomas, Gordon Rydon, Nellie Peterson and fifteen nifty looking chorus girls complete the company. The opening number by entire company is "Good-Bye Manhattan" as Miss Drisdale's "Red Hot's" get off on a world tour. Billy Wallace plays the part of Weary Watkins, a red hot boob and how. Gaby Fields is the redhot prima-donna and burning up. The others all fit nicely and aid in the entertainment creditably well. Broadway AND SO TO BED—(27th week) Roberta Brown, the brown of the play, holds forth at the Bijou Theatre. 45th Street, west of Broadway. * * * "BOTTLED" is the newest name for the drama "Bottled in Bond" (5th week).

But no fooling something must be done about thees Spanish Inquisitions that are camauflaged by the name of Fashion Shows, We stand almost anything in the garb of sweet charity, but there Is a limit to the en- durance of even worms. .!It would seem that contrary to all rules, the more fashion shows are given the more poorly they are managed.

Sunday, we don't know. * * * IT'S·JUST AS APT to be any one of the six bands who will marshall forces at the SAVOY this coming May 6th for the most thrilling War of Notes that was ever staged. * * * --- THIS IS ONE BATTLE that no one should be a slacker about. Your patriotism should be wetted to the keenest edge and your feet trained to the smallest fractional part of a second for the opening blah. CHARLES BUCHANAN, manager of the Savoy. The man who declared the Jazz War. * * * WE ARE SEEKING to draft every healthy man and woman, boy and girl for this affair Sunday night. If you have not registered, do so and do it quick before we feel compelled to send a squad of jazzmen after you. *** WHA'S THE USE of trying to duck this draft? Don't you know that music has charms to drive the blues away? * * * AS A MATTER OF FACT, this coming battle of jazz is not so much a battle of jazz as a battle between the "Blues and Jazz" and Jazz is sure to win. IF YOU ARE A SAVOYITE, we know that you 're not troubled with the "Blues", for that's one thing that we guarantee to cure you of. No Savoyite can suffer with the "Blues" if we know it. *** THE BLUES ONCE CAME forth to battle "Fess" Williams but quit in the first round. Fess and his brave boys just jumped on the blue army before they knew what it was all about and put 'em to rout. ```markdown ``` WELL, IF "FESS" COULD whip old gloom and the blues by himself, what'll happen if the enemy should dare try invade the Savoy with six such band leaders like Fletcher Henderson, Chic Webb. Alex Jackson, Charlie Johnson, Lloyd Scott to aid the "Fess." --- AND TO THINK THAT the "Fess" is coming all the way from Chicago to take part in this glorious battle of "Jazz". My, my, my. NOT ONLY "FESS" but Alex Jackson and his band are invading New York and the Savoy, making a jump from Cincinnati, Ohio, to take part in the complete route of the "Blues." Oh boy and what a treat is in store for all dance lovers. --- FLETCHER HENDERSON and that Roseland aggregation have triumphed every time they met the army of gloom. These babies are known far and wide. ... Club Scribblings....

The old rendez-vous which has been the scene of many glorious times is again offering its many pleasures to the huge timers. Having been completely re-overhauled and redecorated the Capitol is in an artistic study in black and gold. Five huge sunbursts adorn the ceiling, giving it a comfy, homey appearance. A spacious new dance floor is effectively lighted by amber colored lamps. Although an entirely new combination, Sterling Conaway has concocted a cleverly arranged orchestra, the youth of which could hardly be detected. They execute all the well defined tactics of syncopation and their "Bostons" fan to a firing heat are just too bad. Kay Crippen, Marjorie Sipp, Bertha Ricks and Myra Johnson, well-known favorites, continue their popular refrains much to the delight of the patrons. The establishment is under the personal management of Rudolph Brown.

Back in 1906 this correspondent was but six years of age, so we are forced to print the actual story that appeared in a Chelsea, Mass., paper of that era. But before we do that, I want to say that during the time I staged that benefit for Sam Langford, he told Percy Brown and myself that Jack Johnson was the one man he always despised—but was never able to get a return match with after Johnson beat him in their only scrap. Perhaps this news item will tend to clarify the situation:— Phil Edwards Dazzles Crowd at Classic Penn Relays DESPITE THE FACT that he was unable to carry the silks of his University to a third Relay championship in the two-mile relay even that marked the first defeat of his mates in fifteen consecutive races; Phil Edwards stood out in these games with Charles Paddock and Tony Plansky. The long striding running machine who represents N. Y. University, lived up to the nice things eastern sport scribes had said of him. As anchor man for the Violet, Phil soon won the fancy of the fashionable audience who stuck it out for the entire meeting despite the inclement weather Charley Major, another New York lad who high jumps for St. Benedicture College, figured in a four-cornered tie for the handsome gold medal and first prize.

On the 28th of March I defeated Holtkamp of Holland in three rounds (K. O.). and the following night licked Vessenoil of Italy, though I was given a draw in ten rounds. There is an arrangement on foot to get me over to New York to train with Jack Dempsey, and if it culminates I expect to leave here by the end of June. Is it true that he has announced his permanent retirement, and am I being given the run around as they call it. Have developed a powerful left hook, thanks to your coaching. There is nothing strange in Paris except the forthcoming election campaign. The women are looking forward to an opportunity to vote, otherwise all is quiet. How is Sam Langford, and John Lester Johnson, are they making any money? Florence joins me in very best regards to you and yours, "Cherie" (Signed) JACK TAYLOR. (Signed) JACK TAYLOR.

Lincoln Giants Win Two The Lincoln Giants opened the Eastern Colored League at the Protectory Oval today, defeating the 1927 Eastern Colored League pennant winning Bacharach Giants, 4-2 and 10-3. The Lincoln Giants with their five new stars played snappy, smart baseball, the infield executing six double plays with lightning rapidity. The first game was decided on home runs by Carr, Scales and Gray.

IF anywhere on "God's" green earth, better land flourishes than that portion of Long Island known as "Lincoln Park Estates" that is being offered for sale by the Mac-Rad Estates Company with offices at 2145 Seventh Avenue, the personnel of the 'Interstate Tattler' would like to inspect it. Most land developments offered to the masses of colored folk who populate upper Harlem is lacking in some essential, but after a lengthy inspection of the site by representatives of t the 'Tattler", we place the seal of our approval on the proposition in its entirety. One must remember that "Long Island" represents the larger metropolis of tomorrow. This partic- M. OSCAR H.

In years to come historians will record the day of days when six of the world’s fa- mous orchestras met on a common bat- tlefield and jazzed their way into the hearts of thousands of enthusiastic dancers, each léader confident that he will receive the public’s favor as ex- pressed in the following interview that makes us feel assurred that the brand of music has never been equalled in the history of the ballroom.

Where do these other guys come to think they blow music out better than my orchestra. I’ve told the folks who are running this war, that I’m willing to give the other bands a handicap of three pic- colos and. four sour notes. That’s fair ain’t it? Why, man alive, out in Springfield, Ohio, where they had the pleasure of having me born in, we think nothing of blowing blue notes into red hot music. Ya see, it’s nat- ural, I'm a born general and my boys and myself are hep to this war busi- ness. Here’s a century note that says I'm the best baton buster in Savoy. be } an ad a | aN Ss A ALEX JACKSON, he says: Of course, you know this is my first war in New York in over five years. Maybe you folks don’t know it, but I've been driving people to dance, out ‘West where I come from. It’s no easy racket for a stranger to come in and cop a war.without any warming up, but I'll do it. Once I get one up and the other bands go down, I'll see that there will be no long count. If I can’t win this shebang in fifteen encores, I'll be ashamed to return to Cincinnati. Boy, I'll bet they miss me out there! Especially the Misses, and the Mrs. After I win this fight, I am going to vacation in Iceland, having been com- missioned to organize an orchestra composed of sea lions.

I'll just nave Hank Duncan get upon that stand and harmonize a couple of low numbers with himself. You know what that means! We win! oy! We'll massacre ‘em. Between you and me these other bands play sweet music, but when it comes to saturating shieks and shebas with salubrious spasms of syncopated sonatas, you have to hand us the ap- plause. The Royal Flushers will break through a winner. Drop your dough on us at even money. If you get odds, it’s. a frame-up. This fight jtakes place on Sunday, May 6th, doesn’t it? When the final bell rings we'll be the winners. Here's hoping the other bands last the full 13 hours. FLETCHER HENDERSON, he says: My constituents. know that we are the recognized jazz war champions. Every year usurpers pretend to win the crown from us. Each time we have repulsed them. Why? The best band wins! Now down at Roseland on Broadway we simply goal the people the way we play such music. We have about five hundred orchestrations in our old black bag, and we'll play every one of them Sunday, May Cth, if we have to do it. We're simply hot all over. If we don’t win this fight black bottom down, I’ll retire from public life and I don’t mean I'm foolin’, Vote for me and yow ll be with the winner. | oe CHICK WEBB, he says: Henderson, Williams, Johnson, Jack- son, Scott, sure they play good music, but if you’re asking me, I can blind- fold the boys in my band and let ’em punish melodiés from memory, ana they’ll come down the line a winner by a trombone slide. Chick Webb and His Harlem Stompers, boy, that’s a name to wear out shoes dancing too. I'm not conceited or anything like that, but when I stomp ‘em, they stay stomped. Of course, this isn’t my idea of a war. I don’t like the spectators to see my latest patent for winning music fights. If I lose this fight, 1 hayen’t got tbe slightest idea what my alibi will be, unless that piano player loses the keys of the piano. Wish me luck, will you? ad ae Eo a ro [R = oe Page 2 ee | LFV ee eu Lys. \ ee ie Roe 8 z -. aeeeres | CHARLIE JOHNSON, he says: There’s very little I can say. What ways we have of winning music wars is nobody’s affair. We just go in and play hot numbers and we're always a cinch to win. This is the first time we've ever been in a six-cornered bat- tle, but we know what it’s all about. The other five bands will know they've been in a free-for-all after we get finished tossing jazz at ’em. I'll be working under a handicap, because one of my sax players was playing such music as we have on hand, when the saxophone spoke back nasty words to him and he’s so temperamental he smashed the damthing. We'll have to save our money and buy a new high- hat. Bye! Bye!

The Better Business Show under the personal management of Mr. Sam Reading was a great success inspite of the unceasing inclement weather. The Palais Royal was the place. The booths were many. Each business concern vied with its neighbor for attractiveness. The favors were both useful and pretty. The entertainment was good. The Carter boys who furnished the music throughout each evening, played well. The Pageant of Progress featuring Ruth Thompson, Robert Jasper, Claudia Ross Stevenson, and a chorus of trained voices, was greatly appreciated.

No one better than the chick and charming Jean Jamison together with her perfectly marvelous and handsome husband Juice. When better parties are given they will give them—if you don't believe me ask Dr. H. B. Dismond or New York's own night hawk. Speaking of those enjoying the hospitality of this charming couple—let me see—can I remember? Oh, yes, I do recall Miss Edith P. McDougald, the beautiful Mrs. Mercedes Rector, of Washington, D. C., the vivacious Miss Bobbey Branch of N. Y. City, Lydia Stubbs, Ada Walls of Atlantic City, Constantia Wharton of Baltimore, Ruth Walls of Atlantic City, Mr. and Mrs. John Hopkins, Dr. and Mrs. Melvin Lofton, Mr. Walter White of N.

Stubbs, Miss Etta Burwell, Miss Pauline Young, Mr. John Hester, Dr. Joseph Johnson, Dr. and Mrs. Melvin Lofton, Mr. Sabin Gaskill, Dr. Ted Morrison, and oh so many others—pardon my short memory span—how disgusting! ```markdown ``` And now for the Omega relay dance. A sharp dance, indeed. In fact so sharp that the famous Alpha night hawk of N. Y. really thought we was an Omega. The music was just wonderfull and although the weather was terrible, thus making people feel downhearted and out of sorts — the music was a quick reviver. A fast rival of old man Gordon. It was indeed a treat to look at such beautifully gowned women. Mrs. Rhetta Braswell was most becoming in a gown of yellow chiffon beaded in crystals. Miss Edith McDougald was as stately and charming as ever in a green chiffon with crystals and rhinestones. Miss Bobby Branche wore a parisienne creation of green metal cloth. Miss Helene Lassiter chose pink taffeta with hand painted flowers. Miss Helen Jane was quite pretty in a deep pink taffeta trimmed with a deeper shade of pink. Miss Ada Walls wore red velvet with shoes to match while her sister Miss Ruth was very cute in green chiffon and tulle. Mrs. Lorice Panell appeared in peach georgette. Mrs. Bessie Byrd radiated her magnetism in yellow flowered chiffon. Amongst others in the crowd, I remember Mr. and Mrs. George Amonetti, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Byrd, Dr. and Mrs. Panell, Dr. H. Binga Dismond of N. Y., Mrs. Helen Benson, Mrs. Eva Parker, Miss Gladys Hawkins, Mr. William Jackson, Mr. Jimmie Atkins, Mr. Alvin Janes, Mr. Sahin Gashkill and a host of others. May the Omega dances be closer together in the future.

ELVERA on the wire—Hello, Galadi—Yes, I did have a sprained ankle, but I couldn't let anything so petty as that keep me indoors. But if you ever want to get the low down on your friends, just sprain an ankle or break your neck and become a "shut in" for a few days. Everybody will treek in to bring you the news. The Fraternities and Sororities did themselves proud last week and it was a joy to attend their affairs. The Kappa Alpha Psi Formal at the Lincoln Colonnade last Monday was a dream. The Hall was exquisitely decorated. I got homesick when I recognized the Spanish patio in the center a carpet of grass with trees of cherry blossoms in tender green and sea-shell pink—with dainty palms nesting at their feet—a flowing fountain in the center with water curling upwards like a dream of old Versailles—the music hidden in a green Kiosko of foliage—and all flooded by spotlights of irridescent rays—this was the natural setting for the Kappa Alpha Psi Dance. The Social Committee—C. K. Brown, A. B. Howard, and Jack Plant, for the Students. Douglas Speaks, Perry Hamilton, Mayhugh and Graham for the Alumni, certainly spared no pains to make this one of the most beautiful dances of the season. * * * Suppose we hang up the phone, if you want me to tell you who was there. Just run over and we can talk better. . . —Ah, here you are, and of course you want to hear about the gallant men, but my dear that Kappa Dance brought out some women of radiant beauty. Miss Keren Blackburn was a dainty chromo in a Manon Lescant frock of black velvet and lace. Mrs. Douglass Speaks (Sarah Pelham) was magnificient in a period costume of taffetta in bouffant tiers of sheel-pink and sea foam white. Miss Eula Simms wore a coral tinted directoire frock with bouffant skirt and applied floral designs. Mrs. Emory B. Smith was lovely in canary taffetta with insets of old black Spanish lace. * * * Among those who danced to the throbing music were Dr. and Mrs. John Rector, Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Curtin, Dr. Lloyd Newman, Judge James A. Cobb, Dr. and Mrs. Merril Curtis, Dr. and Mrs. Frank Jones, Dr. and Mrs. Walter Garvin, Attorney and Mrs. Geo. E. C.

"Oh, you've got to be a Kappa Alpha Psi or you cant go to Heaven when you die." *** The Alpha Phi Alpha Formal on Wednesday, April 25, was quite "comme il faut." The decorations gave the effect of an Oriental Garden and the interlaced trellis festooned with ballons cast an exotic atmosphere over the salon. The intoxicating music charmed the dancers until the last pulsating strains called out that "The Day is Done". * * * The frocks were the last word in chic and beauty. Mercedes Rector was scintillating in scarlet point d'esprit and naughty red moire slippers. A soft scarlet butterfly bow, diamond necklace and bracelets were the only accesories, save that one that nature so generously bestowed—that birthmark of a lock of shining silver hair. * * * Pearl Curtis was alluring in soft gold point d'esprit in alternating tiers of irregular length, reaching in the back almost to the tops of her silver slippers. *** Exquisite Harriet Stewart whose poignant beauty is unique in any group, was bewitching in rose net and sequins, topping slippers of gold. * * * Dr. and Mrs. Milton Francis, who are not so ubiquitous as most of us, gave dignity to the occasion. Beatrice Francis certainly brought back some resplendent togs from Europe, and wears them as to the manner born. * * * Among others I glimpsed Dr. Dorothy Boulding, Miss Elizabeth West, Miss Adrienne Marshall, Mrs. Sallie Fisher Clark, Miss Alice Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Ogle, Mr. Hillis Walters, Mr. Dave Grant, Mr. Charles West, "Shag' Hogan( Ira Davis (without a single cracker), Mr. and Dr. Herbert Marshall, who rumor has it, will soon be Mr. Charles Sanford accepting gifts of rice and old shoes. --- Dainty Evelyn Ellis blew in after the performance of "Porgy" and Edgar Pery of that cast also tripped the light fantastic. "Slim" Hamilton of Pittsburgh was vamped and revamped—and had to be presented to everybody. *** The Phi Delta Kappa Sorority Dance at Murray's Casino on Friday, April 27 ended the Fraternal affairs of the week, except for the dance of The Scrollers, the Kappa Pledgees held at the Frat House. * * * So you see, Galadi, with all these affairs on foot, there was scant need for the individual hostess to do anything, and yet De Witt Perkinson, Bessie Nurse and Martha Cromwell Brent did entertain at separate Bridge parties. Incidentally, Frances Garvin could open an Art Shop with the number of prizes she has won. * * * Hubert Delany passed through the city to and from the funeral of his father, Bishop Delany of Raleigh. Of course he visited the beautiful spot where his lovely wife Clarissa Scott, is resting. * * * The local committee of N. A. A. C. P. threw a swell banquet for Nevill Thomas, its President on Saturday night. At that toime he received some well deserved praise for his earnest and determined work against governmental segregation. —Sorry you've got to go, but I really am glad to get a little rest. —ELVERA— --- ATL Alyss Mc SINCE Easter there has been quite minor dances, an occasional car music week and plenty, plenty, plea rains in Atlantic City—well that gathered a little from the debris. ATLANTIC CITY Alyss Mae Hershaw sort for many years and was e ploved at the Indiana Aven SINCE Easter there has been quite a dearth of social activities—a few minor dances, an occasional card party, preparations being made for music week and plenty, plenty, plenty of rain all week. And when it rains in Atlantic City—well that does settle it. But I think I've gathered a little from the debris. Now let me see— The "eighth" wonder—Lenore Scott hasn't left the shore for two week-ends. Can you imagine it! Mrs. Winstand of New York City is visiting her sister, Mrs. Marjorie Goldsmith of Artic Avenue. She is enjoying her stay with us. Mrs. A. J. Jennings of 107 N. Penna. Avenue, spent last week end in New York City. the house guest of her sister, Mrs. Addie Moore. Everette Johnson, one of the shore's social favorites, has returned from the Sunny South, where he enjoyed a thorough rest and also the hospitality of his many friends. Since his return he looks the picture of health and shows that he was the "victim" of good treatment. Alston Burleigh and Mr. Mosely starred in "Abraham's Bosom", a play presented on Steel Pier last week. It had its premier performance here before taking the road and from all comments and criticisms. it is a play worth seeing. It was highly appreciated in Atlantic City. Master John Brent, better known as "Buddie" Brent of New York City. is the house guest of our Norvell Major. I know that Cleveland, Ohio, will read this and weep. Sarah Spencer Washington, Alice Randall and Laconia Fitzgerald motored to Asbury Park last week to attend the famous costume dance. They report a corking good time. Rhetta Braswell went to Philadelphia to attend the social functions surrounding the Penn Relays. Of course she took in the Junior Prom, and is back still telling us of her exciting experiences.

When the curtain was drawn, 120 kiddies, seated on the floor of the gymnasium, presented themselves to the spectators. From that moment the children were in possession of the stage and delighted their parents and friends with their rhythms, games, dances, stories, while the kindergarten band played with all the assurance of a "grown-up" organization. Miss Ella J. Hamilton, supervisor of primary grades, made the address of the evening. She explained the nature and purpose of kindergarten training, stating that it was an essential part of the education of every normal child. Dr. P. D Hawkins, of the board of education, congratulated the parents upon the splendid work of their children. Mrs. Mary Pitts, president of the association, presided and emphasized the importance of the annual "Get-Together Reception" to be held in June. The invocation was offered by Dr. William J.

This is the latest edition of the famous "Black Bird" revue, famous not only in this country, but also abroad. and while in London it had a private showing at Buckingham Palace for the King and Queen of England. This time Mr. Leslie has gathered a great aggregation of colored performers, making it a fast, peppy affair of talent and personality. The cast was headed by Adelaide Hall, considered as the logical successor to the late Florence Mills, a mark of high distinction. There was also Aida Ward, who has appeared in leading parts in musical comedies before. The comedy is mainly in the hands of Tim Moore. Mr. Leslie's most recent discovery and who it is predicted will be one of the foremost colored comedians within the year. The show was well attended and highly appreciated. * * * The Liberty Hotel has recently established a new feature in its smoke candy shoppe.

THE INTERSTATE TATTLER Lincoln University News JIBES FROM THE BASEBALL TRIP THE Lincoln University baseball team took off from Rendall Field, under the guidance of Coach Morrison. Assistant Coach Walls, and Captain Ted Anderson, for a two weeks' sojourn in the sunny south by way of Baltimore, Washington, Richmond and points toward the equator. In Durham the town folks claim that Lincoln had a wonderful baseball team—socially. Incidentally we took North Carolina State College by a score of 10-2; not so hot. Doc Panicky, Jiver Jackson, and Jit Taylor were assigned the task of looking out for the rookies: Sheep Jackson. Little Bear La Marr, Farmer Clark, Lefty Stanford, and Jerry Harmon. I assure you that we had our hands full. Hand how! Our manager. Little Napoleon Stamford and Johnny Redmond had all the women. However the rest of the team was a close second, losing by a couple of necks. I understand that the post office is shipping mail galore between Durham and Lincoln. The boys thought they were in heaven and that the Lord permitted the angels to come down to earth and romp awhile before returning to the ethereal regions. Amidst sad farewells the gang hopped off for Greenboro to meet Horse Lane and the A. & T. College aggregation, but old Jupiter thought it advisable that Lincoln refrain from losing another ball game, and put on the old rain act, for three days. During this time the social lions led by Little Napoleon attended a theatrical party at the Carolina, and munched elephant food in the gallery, far above the fires of racial animosity, as one chap would have it. We then made a non-stop flight over Oxford, North Carolina, much to Charleston's sorrow because he happened to have a wonderful time there on his last trip, and landed in Lawrenceville, Virginia. The total population of this metropolis including cows and chickens ran way up into the staggering figures of one hundred and two. A four day loaf was passed here entertaining the teachers and buying out the local stores. In the meantime we split a two game series with Saint Paul. Julie Martin, the trainer, had plenty of time to shoot 'buzzards'. From here the skipper took his weary way and fearier wards to Petersburg, the city of raving beauties. Men go there and grab a wife. There were 700 of these creatures and 699 of them were pretty, the other one was the matron. No doubt this accounted for the 24-8 score against us. Hampton, by the sea, Union, and Howard were also visited and a merry time was spent in each place. La Marr is still trying to figure out how much is a whole gang of nines. Doc Panicky threw this bombshell, "If Sir Walter Raleigh planted a colony in Raleigh, just when will the Mayflower bloom?" Dick Temple showed that he still is the most outstanding player on the team by his timely hitting and stuttering. A girl who did not know Dick was told that she could become better acquainted with him by reading the newspapers. Jit Taylor made the motion that Doc Panicky refrain from pitching and take over Julie Martin's job as head trainer down in old Virginia. Andy was wearing somebody's flower, they say the owner was a cute little Miss from Georgia, now personally I have no nickle in that slot. As the team approached the South Carolina border Geech Sinkler got down-right homesick but of course he says that he hails from Gotham. Clark had a sweet mamma one night, another in Durham and the next night another Lincolnite had her. Excuse my blush. To be sure all the 'dogs' and 'Gods' were hot time upperclassmen on this trip and were yearning to get back to Lincoln so they could turn the Junior Prom out. Now it's your time to laugh. Adios.

Their fifth annual informal spring prom was just too tight and other expressions of praise. In telling you, that although Mrs. Maples' orchestra really broke 'em down, the folks would have had a good time just clapping their hands. They evidently knew they would have a glorious time and they did. A great big Frog reclined on the stage, and croaked out an occasional Hey! Hey! when the music got good.

A delicious luncheon was served, amidst a lively bubble of chatter. This was due to the fact that almost everyone present was an old Chicagoan and each had many topics of mutual interest to discuss.

Just when the game grew interesting and a great deal of redoubling was going on. in walked Harry Scott, Louis Scott, Chick Coleman, and Ted Young. Of course the card game was discontinued. However the interruption was welcome and they all proceeded to make merry. The members of this club are the Misses Ellen Jackson. Helen Scott, Ruth Shoecraft, Edrina Gillispie, Martha Triggs, Katheryn Gordon, Addie McLeary, Jesse Robinson, Wilhemena Reed, and Consuella Young.

The spirit of Phyllis Wheatley was depicted by interpretive dancing, namely, The Founders.

Miss Ruth Jewell is ill with scarlet fever, but the latest report is that she is improving steadily. Miss Jewell has been attending the Chicago Normal College. and is a very popular member of the younger social group. "CHICAGO After Midnight", remember that movie?—well, I want to tell you about Chicago after midnight—last Thursday—Jazzmania broke loose at the Regal Theatre and the Savoy. To get what I mean, Bill Bojangles Robinson's Midnight show for the benefit of the Florence Mills Memorial Fund went over with a bang. Stars and superstars vied to out do each other in their specialties. Music, Jazz and Classica filled the theatre. Then after the performance at the Regal, stars and audience moved next door to the Savoy to carry on until the break of dawn in the benefit breakfast dance given for the Fund. THE LADY The inimitable NORA RAY who makes the Apex the talk of two continents. The full program of acts would read like a N. V. A. Annual show program. Just to get an idea here are—Amos and Andy, Jack Osterman, Hughly Cameron, Dorothey McNulty, Paul Ash, Abe Lyman, Florence Moore, Peggy Brenen, Milton Wiles, Taylor Holmes, Bernard Granville, Teddy Peters, Nay Alex, Blance Calloway, Linda, Ruby Keeler, Smith and Bale, Charley Davis and his Six Steppers, Jack Haley, Margaret Jackson, Fess Williams and Regal Steppers, Marshall Rodgers. Billy King, Mark Fisher, Slick White, Dave Peyton, musical director and the one and only bojangles. These are only a few of the many famous and well known stars that were on the stage at the Regal last Thursday night, all of whom later attended the breakfast dance at the Savoy, where Clarence Black. Louis Armstrong and Caroll Dickerson held sway with their syncopating music. Well, all and all, Chicago after Midnight is O. K. with me. Mr. Bill Robinson and Mr. I. Jay Faggin deserve unstinted praise for their untiring work in putting over the two mammoth projects for a most worthy cause, Robinson the midnight show and Faggin the breakfast dance. Maurice Dancer, brother of Earl Dancer. well known manager of Ethel Waters Africanna, departed last week for the coast. Maurice is to be the director of publicity and manager of the new Lincoln Theatre in Los Angeles. Quintard Miller is opening the house with his new show which is booked for twelve weeks.

Ruth, sister to Edith Spencer, and Marion, sister to Lottie Gee, both will be in the show at the Lincoln in Los Angeles in which their sisters are starring.
