Uncle Sam Lane we are glad to see you back in Harlem, but they really miss you out in Queens. At "Bobs" the other night Mel Charlton sprung a word that can be found in only unabridged dictionaries—pornography. Quite interesting. Eh, what?

What would 130th Street be without the smiling countenances of these two fair damsels. Rosalie Berry, one of Harlem's cute ingenue's, wont remain in that class very long if she continues to pout—for no good reason at all. Say Billie Yates why not let the big muscle man who instructs in the gentle art of self defense reduce that figure of yours before it loses its charming swankness. He's a shark make no mistake about it. Sweet Bobbie Branch. remember the musical "Hello Mr. A——," you gave us last Saturday morning while we were on our way to the office? Please continue to say it just that way in the future wont you? "M" stands for the million things she (asked you for) gave you; 'O', means that she's merely growing (cold) old, and so on and on. We wonder why Lucia Moses was so intensely interested in the rehearsal of "Blackbirds'. Was it the cast or the musicians? The papers say Dorothy Bellis is being sued. We hope she wins her case. Clothes mean everything. Julian Garrett is very much interested in aviation. He is now collaborating with Julian, the aviator for a "flight".

Backstage with Stagetruck When talent, pushing energy and ambition enable a Negro to rise above the large crowd in any field of endeavor in this country, he usually receives an unreasonable, unjustifiable and merciless clubbing by the meaner type of those in a similar activity. This distressing and destructive habit has become noteworthy in the theatrical profession. The producer, the player and playgoer ought to join hearts and heads against the custom. The development of the theatre among Negroes demands it. There is a vast difference between intelligent, constructive criticism born of a desire to help and the studiously practiced be envious, malicious and jealous, to hurt the pride and mar the success of their and thrift enable them to rise above the face of the race have enough hindrances from right not be compelled to endure the per- and unjustifiable clubbing given by those by every personal achievement and success can there be of mental misdirection and that manifested consistently by meaner order to gain small points not worth men-shadows, raise up obstructions along the ease triumphant successes are a credit to public opinion ought to be cultivated and class who menace the theatrical profes-siseworthy endeavors of the race. Those guiltiness as clubbers "without rule or ought that it is a far higher and nobler intelligently rather than condemn unjustly habit employed by the envious, malicious and jealous, to hurt the spirit, humble the pride and mar the success of their fellows who talent and thrift enable them to rise above the crowd. The ambitious of the race have enough hindrances from other sources and ought not be compelled to endure the persistent, unreasoning and unjustifiable clubbing given by those who witness grudgingly every personal achievement and success of their fellows. No better proof can there be of mental misdirection and squandered energy than that manifested consistently by meaner individuals who, in order to gain small points not worth mentioning, seek to cast shadows, raise up obstructions along the pathway of those whose triumphant successes are a credit to the race. A strong public opinion ought to be cultivated and directed against this class who menace the theatrical profession and all other praiseworthy endeavors of the race. Those best known for their guiltiness as clubbers "without rule or reason," should be taught that it is a far higher and nobler practice to commend intelligently rather than condemn unjustly and selfishly.

SOMETHING should be said about Lew Leslie whose "Black Birds of 1928" is now playing at the Liberty Theatre. There is something that should be said about the man. He started his career by staging the now famous Plantation shows. He also managed to bring a number of talented players to the attention of managers and theatregoers. It was he who brought out Aunt Jeminia, Phil Baker, Ben Bernie, Miller and Lyles. He also produced "From RENAISSANCE 137th Street and ONE WEEK BEGINNING Dixie to Broadway" one of the first of the all colored shows to invade the White Light District. His last edition of "Black Birds" ran for a year in this country and for almost two years in Europe. It was one of the few shows to ever have a private performance at Buckingham Palace. It played twice before the King and Queen of England. Numbered supreme among Mr. Leslie's deeds is his discovery of the late Florence Mills. It was he who exploited and starred her here and later took her to Europe where she instantly became a favorite. And now, in his latest production, he has a new batch of talent whom he believes will become famous before the year is over. There is Adelaide Hall, who is regarded by the overseers of Harlem night life as the successor to Florence Mills. Then there is Tim Moore, a comedian who has been playing on the Columbia Burlesque Wheel for the past fifteen years and makes his Broadway debut in "Black Birds H. MAE FANNING, well known favorite, who made a most admirable record in "Shuffle Along" and other musical successes. Miss Fanning was reported to be very ill, but the Tattler office was graced by her presence, and she possessed all the charm and elegance that has always made her loved by all who knew her. She is looking like the picture of health, and nothing could be sweeter than Mac. of 1928". Lastly, but by no means least in importance. Dorothy Fields, daughter of the producer, Lew Fields. She makes her debut as a writer of lyrics. * * * "Abraham's Bosom", Pulitzer Prize Play was far above expectations at the Broad Philadelphia. Critics gave the play a great break.

He will then fill bookings abroad; State-Lake, Chicago, Ill. Andrew Copeland and Lew Payton in their "Dining Car" are still a big hit over the circuits. U. S.

The Wilson sisters, Edith and Lena with Roscoe Mon- tella, George Booker and the team of Gant and Perkins will be found red hot entertainers. George Booker’s singing won long and hearty applauds last Monday night and from all indi- cations, he’ll carry off the pre- mier honors for the week. Roscoe Montella, the Wilson sisters and Gant and Perkins will be found in a blanket finish for second hon- ors with Montella a slight favor- ite. His work this week is ex- ceptionally good. The Hightower Trio scored high and they too were given a nice ovation. Harry Stevens, an Ofay musical entertainer and Pauline Scott, register well. Miss Scott (Mrs. Montella) creates a laugh with her, “I Thank You” in a high pitched baby voice. Skeeter Winston’s West Indian character work is good. Joe Russell has very little to do, but does that little very well. His jumping comedy stunt was missing and Joe was not Joe without his leaping dance pre- lude. atie As for Sam Wooding and his great musical combination, they will just about break up any show in the country with that unique “Radio Number” which is just too bad. ‘ All in all. it’s a corking good show, the best we have seen in some weeks. * * * ALHAMBRA PLAYERS are presenting an interesting melo- drama, “The Girl Thief” which is another startling vehicle full of thrilling experiences of romance. battle and intrigue. Susie Sutton plays the leading role, the thief, while Fannie Laine carries her usual part as the wife in this case of J. Lawrence Criner. Alice Gorgas, Edward Thompson, Arthur T. Ray and George Wilt- shire compose the other members or the cast. These artists are presenting the Alhambra patrons with new dramas each week, and they are severely taxed with ex- tra rehearsal, and other rigid preparation. It is hoped that they will be appreciated and accordea every respect, and not interrupt- ed by rude remarks and laughter. “Race Track Revels” with Sandy Burns. Montrose Brooks, Hilda Rogers, Amanda Randolph. Inez Dennis and others are still meet- ing with favor, judging from the hearty applause. : LINCOLN THEATRE’S repre- sentation for the week, “Be Yourself” with John Mason and Rosa Henderson is full of fun and brings a constant chuckle of laughter. The old fashioned coun- try school is a clever arrange: ment of comedy, and highly ap preciated. The Ida Anderson Players continue the dramatic sketches, this week in “The Love of Su Shong” and oriental love scene, beautiful—vibrant—full of charm which unfolds a _ weird fascinating story, leaving the audience spellbound. The cast in- cludes Billy Andrews, Charles Ol- den, Ida Anderson, Inez Clough, Lawrence Chenault, Monte Haw- ley and Alfred Chestre, who dis- play their wares with marked ability. Miss Anderson deserves high commendation for soul stir- ring appeal and heart throbbing emotions in her leading role. ADELAIDE HALL, lead- ing lady of Lew Leslie's Blackbirds of 1928 which opened for Broadway en- gagement May 9th at the Liberty Theatre. She is considered ihe successor of the late Florence Mills.

The “Dixie Ramblers” have entertained at the Bamboo Inn, The Renaissance Casino and also in a popular night club of At- lantic City, N. J. At the present, they are driv- ing the “Blues” away for the Ofay millionaires and going big. They have been kept rather busy but want the opportunity of en- tertaining their own _ people. Neal’s vehicle is a really high class combination. Not only do they entertain with musical in- struments, but they ‘sing and dance as well. In fact, they are a most versatile band of musical jazzers, Mr. Neal is the leader as_ the reader may surmise. And take it from us, he’s chuck full of the old jazz and pep. Such a leader is worthy of such a band and the band is worthy of it’s great lead- er. The “Ramblers’” leaders has a way of his own. To see him in action is a treat. How he rocks in his chair, prances when the occasion requires, sings and swings a nifty pair of number sevens. The motto of Neal and his band is, “Satisfaction Guaran- teed” and take your Father Knickerbocker’s word for it, they’re the goods. The Ramblers are due to play here in the big city again and ‘n the yery near future, and when the news is flashed in the Tattler, “don’t fail” t> attend the affair for there'll be a treat in stor2 such as ye dance lovers will regret missing. if they overlook this tin.

Social Snapshots Geraldyn Dismond YOUTH must be served. And every May the young people of Harlem and Brooklyn expect the Hope Day Nursey entertainment. For twenty-six years this organization has presented to its patrons a May festival given by and for the children. Practically, the only adults who attend are the parents of the youngsters and the members of the committee, and they are lost in a seething, squirming mass of children, or completely covered by baskets of food and suit cases of fancy costumes. They are the hand maidens and men escorts of the ruling youngsters and sit serenely in their boxes and admire their offspring. Only a highly colored moving picture could reproduce the scene on the dance floor at the Manhattan Casino last Friday night. Children of all sizes and in every color of the rainbow were dancing right down. To be sure, a double row of bashful boys circled the floor but that did not stop their brothers from dancing with the girl friends or the girls, when available boys ran out, from dancing together (the boys I noticed did not dance with each other). Here and there a kindly father bent double to carry his daughter through a one step, and a patient moher smiled down on her junior. The young shebas necked just as "S. A. ingly" as their older sisters, and the young sheiks had the price of orange sodas and hot dogs. The tiniest ones who had not gone in for dancing, had a gorgeous time playing tag around and under the dancers. A hilarious, playful crowd running absolutely on its own pep. (Liquor was non-existent). THE BETTLEMANS RAE OLLEY, ANNA SMALL AND THELMA WHITTAKER are the three reasons for the success of the Hope Day Nursery Entertainment. As for the show, for which the nursery paid $210 it was a wow and moved with the pep and precision of a big time revue. Thelma Whitaker who assists Amanda Kemp, Anna Small and Roe Olley who conduct their own dancing class in Brooklyn, and Goldie Whittington are to be complimented upon their splendid work in training the youngsters. They offered jazz in all its 57 varieties, Tiller routines with their high kicks, classic dances with doating scarfs and arms, brown Dolly Sisters, pseudo—Florence Millses, chocolate soldiers and miniature Bojangles. The youthful performers were Cora and Lillian Holloway, Thelma Staple, Margaret Henley, Kathleen Russell, Alma Button, Lyle Smith, Goldie Whittington, Louise Burke, Helen Kelley, Grace Brown, Marion Jones, Lillian Larkin, Ruth Baker, Lelabelle Whitaker, Constance Humphrey, Ruthie Jordan, Vivian Hawkins, Alma Penn, Ella Myers, Jennie Sullivan, Thelma Edwards, Muriel Payne, Helen Trice, Mae Tyrill, Alice Pickering, Mildred Chambers, Gartrude and Florence Goddard, Audrey Francis and Jenny Sullivan. Mrs. A. G. Kellar, chairman of the entertainment committee, has adequately filled her position for three years. ```markdown ``` Hope Day Nursery For Colored Children, Inc., 33 West 133rd Street, has over a quarter of a century of community service to its credit. It is wholly supported by voluntary gifts and its annual festival is its main resource. At the nursery, children from six months to school age are good for while their mothers are at work.

Morton, Mr. William Keenan Sanders decided to give a party last Friday night: so he invited a few of his closest friends to his apartment which was laid out for just such a democratic party as would be expected. In each corner of the room you could find clusters of "Four Roads" surrounded by "Antiques" which Mr. Sanders had been collecting for the past few days for the occasion. The Tammany Quartet was there and sang everything from "Good Night Lady" to "Dawning." When the party broke up they were singing "On the Sidewalks of New York." Besides the guest of honor there were present, Dr. Alan B. Graves, Dr. Louis T. Wright, Dr. Layton Wheaton, Dr. Paul A. Collins, Dr. Henry B. Delany, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Jr., Mr. Thomas Layton, Mr. Hubert T. Delany, Mr. Horace Miller and the genial host himself. The only excuse that could be seen for such a party was just for a bunch of old Tammanyites to get together and have some fun. Before the guests left they had destroyed most of the floral decorations and declared that they felt high in spirit as a result of being in the midst of "Antiques" and old friends ```markdown ``` The popular and gracious Mamie L.

We want to record the glorious triumph of Jazz over Gloom. The battle took place last Sunday afternoon at the SAVOY as you no doubt know. AFTER 12 CONSECUTIVE hours of bombardment, General Gloom was in complete route with his army in full retreat to all four corners of the compass. GENERALS BUCHANNAN, GILISKI and their six able lieutenants. "Fess" Williams, Flethcher Henderson, Charley Robinson, Lloyd Scott, Alex Jackson and Chick Webb were highly elated over the spectacular and glorious victory. 'TWAS SURE A GLORIOUS Victory and delighted over five thousand SAVOYITES who came to see the annihilation of General Gloom and his "Blues" army of little glooms and jinxs. THE FIVE THOUSAND SAVOYITES chortled in glee as the six fighting musical lieutenants swung into action and bombarded the enemy with sharps and flats. AND FULLY AS MANY MORE were unable to get in the SAVOY to see the "Famous Victory". They came late and had to stand outside and get the news of how the battle was raging. WE HAVE NOT AS YET checked up on the returns but we're willing to wager that all attendance records were broken for the SAVOY. The dance lovers were lined up for over a block the greater part of the afternoon. GETTING IN WAS A DIFFICULT matter and getting out almost as bad. If the record was missed. it was not by any noticeable margin. LITTLE MISS ULMA Banks had to send out an S. O. S. distress signal early in the day. She sure was a tired little lady when the big battle ended. "DIMPLES", THE PET Name by which Miss Banks is known, wondered where all the money was coming from. She had a miniature mint around her and the dimples. WELL, THE BATTLE OF Jazz is now history. We have another surprise in store for you and real soon.

"Johnson Defeats Langford" Cambridge Lad Went Full Distance,—Badly Beaten In the most one sided bout ever seen at Chelsea, Jack Johnson of Galveston, the Colored heavyweight champion, won the decision over Sam Langford, of Cambridge, after fifteen rounds at the Lincoln Athletic Club, Chelsea, last night. In the sixth round Johnson put Langford to the mat for the count twice, the first time with a right to the heart, and the second with a right uppercut to the chin. Both times Langford struggled to his feet at the count of nine and stalled out the end of the round. After the sixth it ceased to be a contest. Langford merely stalled it out, clinching and holding on at every opportunity. The bout settled down to a question of how long Langford could stay. The feature of the bout was the extraordinary defensive work on Langford's part, and his remarkable ability to take punishment. Every one in the house realized that Johnson was a past master of all time, but few rated Langford much on that score. It was a wonder that he could stand the beating that Johnson gave him. He was game to the core and won the cheers of the crowd by his courage and defensive cleverness. But when that is said, nothing more in favor of the bout can be added. It was too one-sided to be interesting. Johnson outweighed Langford by fully thirty pounds, was a full head taller and had six inches more reach. Johnson had a slight advantage in the first, the second was even and in the third, fourth and fifth Johnson increased his lead easily. Then came the sixth when it didn't seems possible that Langford could last the round out. But he did, and after that it was only a question of how much more punishment he could stand. There were times when Johnson looked tired, but it was from his own exertions. He left the ring without a mark while Langford's face showed that he had been through the wars.—SELAH.

Cuban Stars Win Doubleheader From Lincoln Giants The Cuban Stars made their first appearance in New York this season before a large crowd at the Catholic Protectory Oval Sunday afternoon, May 6, and won a double header from the Lincoln Giants. They won by a score of 13-8 in the first game and 9-4 for the second contest. From their playing Sunday, it looks as though Alex Pompez has the best team he has brought to those shores in many years. All the members of the team are young men and yet they are seasoned ball players. The star of both games was the little shortstop, Alfonso, who made four hits in four trips to the plate during the first contest and this included a home run and a double. In the second game he saved the day for his team, when with his bare hand he stopped George Scales hot liner over second base in the 8th inning. This play brought the crowd to their feet and was the finest piece of fielding seen at the park in a long long time.

Name ... Address ... Tel. Number ... City ... --- Billious to Bill :-- From BALTIMORE Dr. Mitchell called on Jews. Jews. Jews. win for a few reasons. Dr. Baldwin is a professor, senior of the Minister. "He has been requested for nine years," he said, three of which years have been given to Harvard College free of charge, without an honor or gratuity. The doctor is eighty-eight years of age, of medium height at one time seemed to possess a proper constitution and until your maturity is going strong. He has a white hair around the oval shape of his scalp, a penetrating voice and appears to be what is commonly considered a holy man. To look at his face is to be convinced he daily works comm union with God. To know with what is to know that for those sins he will not hold his power. At any rate Dr. Baldwin, like the sister in the corner, was crowned on Dr. Baldwin rose with all the dignity of his years and kept on in the mind the drive for more things for Morgan College in which he has been engaged actively for three years. He pursued at length and in detail young minds concerning Morgan, history, education and allied subjects only to get warmed up to the pitch where he wrote and spoke a few words in regard to Colored Ministers in general, and Colored M. E. Ministers in particular. He had to say this: "I was Colored Ministers every day who live in wider houses than I have ever lived in who wear better clothes than I care who have better furniture in their houses than I have in mine, and own better cars than I have ever owned and who get more salary than I have ever gotten and who have not given their pledge to Morgan College." Dr. Baldwin then went on to ask the question, when were Colored people going to stop begging white people and develop some self-respect? He asked by saying he had given Morgan College quite some money and one again down on record for a few more months. However, says he, "I have put Morgan College in my will, not if you people do not raise their present amount of money by the given time I shall take Morgan out of my will and give the money to some white woman Dr. Baldwin sat down to answer my plause and rightfully so, and I be lieve to my soul if they had not made him sit down he would have missed the "poreflushers". Since I wrote you just there have been quite a few social functions here. Two in particular deserve mention of their one way or the other. The First Century Club held their regular Cause theories, though it was said some time ago "that the organization had decided to go out of business" from available information on hand this rumor seems to be absolutely false. The Half Century will in the future possibly, with not as much care, as in the past, continue to function as a social organization of fairly good standing. Nothing special other than this time with the exception of the drawing the line through one gentleman's name who it seems was caused by the board of governors of the Half Century, of conduct once coming a man who was to be invited to the semi-annual hall. The gentleman in question was not appointed of the fact he had been invited. The fact is his name was sent in and marked out before he knew anything about it. If he knows about it he had known he probably would have pleased "extremely circumstances." W. W. H. CASSELLE MORTICIAN The other matter was placed by a group of two gentlemen who have --- URBANDS SANITARY NAPKINS because they are economical and superior in quality Page Twelve Dear Bill; I HARDLY know how to start to write to you, that is, assuming you have missed my letters. I could say there was no news during the last few weeks, but remembering my Christian training I could not put that down without a lump coming up in my throat. The fact is I have Committed the sin of omission many times lately. However, like a bride who promises at the altar to honor and obey, I promise to be more punctual and regular. The difference between a bride and myself is I really mean to keep my promise though I am not making it before an altar, that is, as Colored people are wont to say, "If nothing happens." Lots of things have been lazy in my memory of late but I could not forget one speaker at a dinner I attended some few days past. This dinner was given by Morgan College in the cafeteria of the Douglass High School and as I supposed, there was a "trick" in it. Any number of people were present and when they had finished eating up everything in sight and were resting on their oars the "ballyhoo" began. It was simply a case of collecting and receiving pledges for Morgan College. Dr. Weiglian, the Superintendent of the Baltimore schools, was the speaker of the evening and was followed by other speakers who arose to give their view of the situation as they were called upon by the Reverend Dr. A. J. Mitchell, the Master of Ceremonies, who also happens to be the chief of the financial division and a veritable prince of hat passers. In truth the dinner was very timely, well conducted and appropriate but unexciting and unevently until the last few minutes. For a reporter of a live journal it was all a blank until WE are sorry to announce that there is no news from Coolbreeze in the current issue.

As far as I know this club is a new organization. Not only is it new but unusual as well. It seems to me to be made up of men who for many reasons could not be as well acquainted as men in other organizations. Possibly this accounted for the great success of their first venture. There is such a thing as knowing people too well, familiarity breed: contempt, don't you know. Anyway these gentlemen gave a wonderful dance at the Odd Fellows Hall. The music was wonderful and though the punch was within the law, the occasion proved to be a veritable hip-pocket carnival. One thing stood out about the dance, there were more Baltimore people present than have been seen at one of these dances in a long time. In that this is a new club it possibly would not hurt to mention the names of the members who are Harry Gilbert, Dr. Chalmers Hairston, Harvey Johnson, D. Arnett Morphy. Howard Murphy, R. Maurice Mass, Charles Proctor, Richard Peed, Vance Sharp and Milton Walker. It is run on the Communist System, everybody is president. When the lights were lowered most of the guests adjourned to the Club Arabic or to Denkin's new high class up to date incomparable delicatessen Arcade. And by the way, I forgot to tell you about the place. Senkin's Arcade is located on the corner of Druid Hill Avenue and Mormer street in the basement. It can be gratefully said that there is nothing like it in Baltimore. The place is not only artistically arranged but elegantly furnished. Every modern convenience is there to function at will. All the choice food stuffs are there ranging from an ice cream cone and a Swiss cheese sandwich with the holes in it, to chicken salad and genuine smithfield ham. This new business venture is operated by Mr. Howard Senkin's the son of Mr. J. Logan Senkin's, the "Mayonaise King". To give you a better idea of the situation, I will tell you what Mrs. Senking has to say about it. Mrz. Senking says: "We believe in starting our children off right in life. We are putting this place here for Howard so he will be able to make a living, J. Logan Senking, Jr. shall have the catering business and the Mayonaise business. When they have both been given a good start Logan and myself will move out in the country and let the boys operate." When the boys have been started well on their way and the Senking move to the country, I suppose J. Logan Sr. will only have to learn to play golf to occupy his mind. But before J. Logan Sr. moves to the country and puts on his golf pants it would be well for him to give Howard one of those treatments like they used to give race horses with turpentine and a small hand mop. In this day and time speed is the order of the day. The Union Baptist Church, the show the Savoy and the law firm of Cogger & Cogger represented by W. Ashlin Hawkins won the final victory over the Kev. Dr. David Avery and the Cogger monwealth bank when the judge re- fused to make the church buy the pro- perty bargained for by Dr. Avery be- fore he was given the vote by the Union Baptist Congregation. The sight is over, the battle done, and we the Tobster unbounded some time ago, be- fore Dr. Avery was murdered, Dr. Avery was the one man in Baltimore trying to fight his way out of a good paying job. The doctor evidently did not know that when the Savoy was Grand Master of the Mason, he experienced in "putting out" and from what I can observe his right hand has not lost the running and his tongue is not clawing to the root of his mouth, Dr. Avery will have to start all over, Ivy Ivy, From BUNNIES THE INTERSTATE TATTLER IN A PROFESSION and thirty students, many of whom stenographers, nurses, dress makers, achers, have been graduated from this since the first of the year.

Miss Ferguson directed the third and Fourth Grades of New Jersey Avenue and West Side Schools, while Mrs. Gould directed the combined Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs of the Indiana Avenue school.

The Gamma Alpha Gamma Sorority sprung a unique Barn Dance at Fitzgerald's Friday night. The hall was really converted into a barn, and the gingham aprons nd overalls together with straw and corn added greatly to the merry-making scene. The Gamma girls always carry a following and Fridy night proved no exception. Many thanks to them for the good fun.

There was a Better Business Show down stairs but the upstairs must have been tinged with a bit of Jewish blood for they hung out the "No Business On Saturday" sign. Miss Gladys Hawkins was on the door dispensing two articles for fifty cents—a ticket and a smile. Burke Horne was down from New York and was surprisingly sober. Quite a few of his friends didn't recognize him. * * * At the Prom Monday night, the Juniors romped. We couldn't by half get through the list of folks who were there but we do remember seeing: the Misses Fanny Vick, Lelia Warrick, Phyllis Taylor, Dorothy Tabourne, Gladys Haw- kins, Bernice Deutreuille, Wilma Lucas, Ruth West, Edna Loving, Eleanor MacIntyre, Adah Walls, Elsie Potter, Bernice Horsey, Alva Robinson, Fanny Deutreuille, Dorathy Valentine, Thelma Johnson, Mae Richards, Beth Lee, Reiter Miller, Mrs. Jeanne Jamieson, Marie Mitchell. Christine Edmonds, Bernice Edmonds, Alexina Hughes, Ethel Farmer, Lillian Evans, Frances Wright, Bobby Branch, Beatrice Hughes and Maude Evans, and the Lincoln University Junior and Senior Classes: David Asbury, Guy Rogers, C. T. Collins, Junior Robinson, Kermit Trigg, Tom Brown John Hester, Burke Horne, Wendell Hughes, Crow Rainey. Van Norman Brooks, Williston, Parham Cooke, Dr. Juice Jamieson, Thomas Cross, Wesley Green, and De Forest Hawkins. The "Order of Dance" programs had sixteen scheduled dance numbers and four requests. The four best requests heard during the evening were: (1) Cheaper carfare in Philadelphia; (2) less space between the cork and the top drop in those Mt. Vernon bottles; (3) a rich old dyspeptic uncle and (4) a less "fly" girl friend. * * * We looked for Uncle Tom and Marse Gawge to be the powers at Club Alabama but our 100 per cent American friends, Moe Levy, Tony Serritella, and Sydney Chynskf held the reins. \* \* \* Everybody was happy at the Club particularly Bobby Branch of New York. Artie Thomas, Carroll Holmes and Charlie Walburg treated the house to a Lincoln Billiard and then the House proceeded to turn itself out. The orchestra played "She's Got Good Bread" and the gang started kneading. We felt sorry for one of the fellows whose supper got too heavy inside. Fats Phillips put on the charmingest Chi Sigma Grin when his girl friend caught him talking lip language to the lips of another Sheba. Miss Frigid Zephyrs and C. T. Collins took the honors in the Bumping Marathon but they won just by two Bumps over Lord Jim Dorsey. Bill Sinkler, and the Ninety-six other couples on the twelve feet of dancing space. \* \* \* The entertainers hired for the occasion—why I don't know—got angry because the guests didn't throw their arms about their necks and kiss them and they very pointedly referred to the legitimacy of the births of the guests and made a reference to the honor of their parentage. To which the guests retorted: "Lots of people live next door to fire houses." Charlie Walburg got a tough break over the Prom week end. Scenting trouble he had his Frat pin riveted to his vest with two inch spikes. But one of those "sweet little bits of femininity" got around that she took vest and all. Our good friend Dick Watson still heads the list of well dressed men on the campus. Despite the heavy expense of Prom week, he found time and money to stop in at one of the exclusive Philadelphia clothiers and to purchase a couple of suits.

Look us up in the next issue. More will follow. Washington Society Yes, yes, Galadi, this is Elvera. You have certainly been burning the wire this morning. Of course that's one of the prices of popularity. Will I go for a drive? Now, come, child, why didn't you just park in front of my door and say, "The boat is here?" On a glorious day like this, with Washington's heavenly trees in bloom, I'm ready to go out in anything from an ox cart to an airplane—so I salaam deeply before that swank new car of yours. * * * Washington is recovering from another hectic week and is setting tight on the lid, getting ready to let it up for the What-Good-Are-We on Friday. Miss Calloway's party on Saturday, the Phi Beta Sigma on Friday and several things that are being mentioned sotto voce. ```markdown ``` Too bad the Phi Betas and the What's are choosing the same night but, of course, it never rains unless it pours. The Social Committee for Phi Beta Foster M. Brown, R. C. James, Thos. Jones and James Jones—is expecting a large delegation down from New York. * * * Louise Harry slipped into town in time for the Big Noises. She has ceased being a schoolmarm in North Carolina for the present and has come back to show us what they wear in Paris and Vienna. ```markdown ``` Speaking of Paris, you know there's a bunch going over this year? As they talk about it, in such a commonplace way, my thin pocketbook thrills to the joy of having rich friends. Jennie Mustapha, who teaches the young Dunbar idea how to shoot, will study at Oxford. Angella Braxton Bishop will return to Europe for her second consecutive year. Mary Gibson Brewer will pick up a bit more French at the Sorbonne. Lola Johnson will sojourn to England to meet the family of S. Coleridge Taylor and Velaurez Sprat- 3 Howard fin will return to beloved castles in Spain. ```markdown ``` Madge Hurst is planning a trip almost as romantic as a flight to Europe, but she keeps it an unrevealed and intriguing secret. *** The lovely mansion we are now passing is the home of Dr. and Mrs. James Dowling. Everything in that house is so harmonious it fairly sings—and when Mrs. Dowling entertains she certainly struts her stuff. * * * Mrs. Henry Lincoln Johnson is another lady who knows her social onions and she did herself proud for 5 Rose McClendon last Saturday night after the closing performance of "Porgy." She had a social and literary hour with Mae Miller, Marita Bonner, Mr. and Mrs. Willis Richardson, Mr. E. C. Williams and a few others who were proud to meet Miss McClendon. * * * At the same time, we held a cosmopolitan salon for Evelyn Ellis. That clever girl talked charmingly about the theatre—Edward Perry chatted of stage accessories and Mr. Chavis discussed Washington audiences. Robbie Lofton dropped in with Dr. Williams, Attorney and Mrs. George E. C. Hayes, Dr. and Mrs. Walter Garvin, Dr. and Mrs. Merrill Curtis, Dr. and Mrs. Wm. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. R. Hurst, Mr. and Mrs. John Williams, Charles West, Pete Johnson, Lawrence Jordan and a few members of the cast. The "Porgy"" Company moved on to Detroit where it is playing in the Masonic Auditorium, then to Cincinnati to the Grand Opera House, and back to the Garrick in Philadelphia for the week of May 14th. ```markdown ``` Another theatrical treat that we had last week was Maeterlink's "Blue Bird" which Mary P. Burrell put on with juvenile talent from the Dunbar High School. You certainly missed a rare treat if you did not see the splendid interpretations of Marjorle Wormley and Evelyn Gardner as Tyltyl and Mytyl and the intelligent understanding of the allegory as shown by Cardinal Kane and John Harris in the parts of the Cat and the Dog. * * * Incidentally, Galadi, there's a student at Dr. Shepard's school in Durham, N. C. who can sing Negro melodies out of this world. I've forgotten his name, but I can never forget his singing of "Humble Yourself." He's soloist, mimic and director combined. --- Which reminds me to ask if you heard Al. Jolson and Sissle and Blake on the new Vitaphone at the Republic Theatre? They packed the house, every afternoon and night. Of course you're going in to the benefit for little Florence Mills Tuesday, old master, S. H. Dudley, will preside and Bill (Bojangles Robinson will be top entertainer. * * * Sure, I've heard that Mr. Oscar de Priest has been nominated for the National Congress. He'll make good company for the present Black Cabinet around here. Right now we are turning so as to drive past most of their homes. These two palatial homes on New Hampshire Avenue belong to the influential Mr. Charles Mitchell and Doctor M. O. Dumas. Here, at the right we have Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Judge James A. Cobb, Recorder of Deeds ????? and Mr. Perry Howard, Special Assistant to the Attorney General. --- The unusual combination of beauty and superior intelligence. Carol Carson has the distinction of being the first young woman of our race to be honored by a Phi Beta Kappa Key from the University of Michigan. She is the only daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Simeon Carson of Washington. midnight, at the Howard Theatre. The Not to forget the opulent Mr. John R. Hawkins nor Assistant District Attorney Jones. So I guess Mr. de Priest won't be lonesome. * * * That's the hospitable and very lovely home of Attorney and Mrs. George Hayes. George has been speaking all the week, in the Kappa Guide Right Campaign. He actually went to Nineteenth Street Church on Sunday morning and to Dunbar High School on Monday. Attorney Armond Scott spoke at Howard. Kappa Kastle, 1826 Fourth Street, sponsored a fine movement that sent speakers all over the city. With Chi Delta Mu carrying on its health campaign and Alpha opening its annual "Go to High School—Go to College" week, the Frats are surely doing their bit. * * * Emory Smith is on an active campaign to spread propaganda that will change Howard University's Law School from an evening school to a day school. He is meeting with much success. ```markdown ``` No, that's not an Orphan Asylum we're passing. That's Mercedes Rector, escorting 'steen hundred children to see the Martin Johnson production of "Simba." She looks very pedagogic. Guess she's doing penance for having run off to Philly for the Penn relays. That girl sure is developing a wanderlust. ```markdown ``` That very gallant gentleman in uniform is Major Harry Atwood. He and Ruth Wright were married last week, so it's too late to look him over. They are esconced at 1338 R. Sstreet N. W. 串串串 Well, here we are back home. I know I've been a disgusting chatterbox, but the car inspired me. Cheerlo, old dear. —ELVERA ```markdown ``` The Tattler may be secured in Washington at Harding and Hearn, Seventh and Fla.

It was to be expected though for when they hop around and make plans for a dance—it is a dance. Even though Home Sweet Home had been played, plenty of wim, wigor and vitality was struggling for expression in many of the guests. So, out they went to the opening of Bill Batton's roadhouse in Blue Island. The music was good, the entertainment better, and the refreshments—well words fail me.

It must be agreed by Contestant and the Tattler that Contestant must be held responsible for all money collected, and that they will make full report of all money on hand at least once each week or on demand. In case of any error or inaccuracies, typographical or otherwise, neither the Tattler or the Contest editor shall be held responsible, except to correct same. In addition to the several prizes awarded there will be given to each Contestant 5 per cent of money collected in subscriptions, as commission to all ACTIVE non-prize winners. It must be distinctly understood that a Contestant who fails to turn into the office a cash report each week becomes inactive and, therefore, is disqualified, and thereby forfeits right to participate in this commission. To insure absolute fairness in awarding the prizes the Contest will be brought to a close under the "sealed ballot box" system and will be under the supervision of the Judges selected from the advisory board. This ballot box will not be opened until after the close of the contest, and the votes will be counted by the Judges. In this way no person, not even the Contest editor. can possibly know the results until the final reckoning, which precludes any possibility of favoritism and insures fairness to the fullest degree. Be it understood that acceptance of Nomination, means that the Contestant thereby agrees to abide by the rules set above.
