Popular New Rochelle Clubman Stricken Mr. Christopher Grant, Sr., one of New Rochelle's leading citizens, is seriously ill from a cancer attack at the Memorial Hospital, New York City. For years he has held the esteem and respect of the "Hugenot" village, and practically the entire town mourns his illness which in all likelihood will prove fatal. For close to a quarter of a century, Chris Grant, has stood high in masonic circles, and it is given on reliable authority, that he is affiliated with no less than twelve orders. Husband and Wife Held on Burglary Charge William Robinson, twenty-three, son of the Rev. Alfred Robinson, rector of the African Mission, No. 304 West One Hundred and Forty-seventh street, and his wife, Pearl, twenty-three, were arraigned in Washington Heights Court before Magistrate McKiniry on charges of burglary. Robinson was held without bail and his wife in $1,000. The Robinsons were arrested Saturday night on complaint of Mrs. James Stanley, of No. 444 West One Hundred and Sixty-third street, that they had entered her apartment and taken several hundred dollars worth of clothing and jewelry. Mrs. Stanley said she met Mrs. Robinson leaving the building with a bundle under her arm. Prominent Realtor Swindled Out of Life's Savings Arrested as the brains of a confidence gang that swindled H. S. Warner out of $5,000 that he had been saving for over ten years, Walter Rafeal up to last Saturday was trying hard to find a suitable alibi. Detectives John O'Brien and Charles Kraemer, of the Jamaica Squad, and Detective Samuel Battle, of the Sixteenth Precinct, arrested Rafael. Two others, known to Warner as Bolancie, who posed as an African, and Hezekia Johnson, both negroes, also are sought. Warner says that Rafael was his tenant for five months at No. 2465 Second aveune, Manhattan, and only changed his living quarters following the incident. TATTLER The Blandishments of Illicit Love Poison Character, Ruin Reputation, and Destroy the Treasured Virtues of the Fireside—Young Manhood and Womanhood Most Frequent Victims Lured to "Turpitude" Chicago, that outpost of Colored American politics, and the stormy petrel of the Nation when it comes to the distribution of "Bombsells," fancied and literal, provides us with a highly interesting story on "Sex Appeal," and its attendant evils. They tell the story of a prominent business man about town, whom for the nonce we will label "Striver", a young woman whom we will call "Hazel," and the other end of the triangle who will be known as "Mack." Hazel is a young girl and very pretty one for whom I've had much admiration. She was separated and divorced from her husband, "Striver," a young business man about two years ago. Shortly afterward she lined up with "Mack," who is rather a successful politician and a good friend of mine. "Mack" set her up in grand style and began taking her to "highfalutin'" social gatherings, such as those of the Appomattox, Thirteen and Forty Clubs. He rather felt that he was litfing her up, although she would not admit it. Of course he was helping to pay her board and lodging—you know what else he must have been doing. I know because "Mack" told me so, but I don't know if I could get "Mack" to say such things in court. Along comes a time when Hazel and Mack fall out, and Hazel remarries her hubby, or at least starts living with him again. Then they spat and separate again, and Mack goes back into the love nest. It is not long before she is comfortably ensconced in a beautiful apartment, newly furnished and everything to which Mack keeps the key. And he says—not for court or anything like that you know, that he is footing the bills and paying for everything. At some time after this, Mack contracts an association with another lady who met him at the Appomattox Club on last Christmas and is much abashed by his presence there with Hazel. The other lady . . . not Hazel . . . swooned away dead to the world, at least some say she swooned . . . and others claim that Mack slapped her down because of her violent protestations against Hazel. At any rate there was much talk that continued and still continues. You remember that the Savoy opened and that one "Archie Long"—we'll call him that for conventional purposes—born in Pittsburgh but a habitue of New York ,came to the Savoy. A couple of months after he had reached town, it was rumored that he had also reached Miss Hazel . . . and they do say that he called her on the phone quite often and met her discreetly. At any rate ,Hazel and Mack had another furious spat. At this time Mack had occasion to call in the police to the apartment where Hazel was living to protect him, he claims, from her brother. That was at four o'clock one Sunday morning. Those nosey unkind neighbors, of course, said that he had called the police to raid Hazel, and there was a very definite break between them, Mack then lining up with another married lady and Hazel and our Mr. Archie Long, hitching carts. Hazel's brother went to work at the Savoy, where Mr. Long was also employed. But it appeared that it would take more than police and Long to keep Mack and Hazel apart . . . even though they had said everything imaginable about each other. They patched up their differences and once again everything was all K. O. Cokely. Reports spread, however, that Long and Hazel were to do something thrilling . . . get married, of course, silly! Hazel, it is claimed, displayed a ring on her finger given her by Mr. Long, and for a while neither would deny what it meant, neither would they commit themselves just when and where the wedding would take place. At the same time Mack is thought to have got busy and began seeing his erstwhile lady friend frequently. Long. did not seem to know just where he stood. It seems that he could persuade the lady to be very kind . . . but not to entertain the thought of marriage. She probably didn't think he was earnest, even though she had his ring. To convince her that he was. Everybody W Although the rest of the country going to be elected President next in situation in a great state of calm, to say Harlem is not viewing the poor of the community being directed else to explain what's diverting everybody race. What could it be but the popularity Derby? We do not mean to imply that as the Presidential race. Oh no. I great deal more exciting. Its results of our fair city too. The odds of Harlem will be elected President young man can make a girl friend at Derby and elect her himself. The pretty feature of the contestants—is the fact that the TA all the contestants are our favorite. If you think we are only kidding he ready to award first prize to EVI subscriptions or more. We also stand and fourth prizes in proportion. I many prizes that Europe will think of the A. E. F. So if you let the first period didate don't be discouraged. You can is fine. The more the merrier. To you have nothing to lose but a dream of pleasure to gain. A final about your political duties don't fret thing by your country this Fall. Yearly enough to vote for President. Everybody Wins Contest Although the rest of the country is getting steamed up about who's going to be elected President next Fall, Harlem is viewing the political situation in a great state of calm. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say Harlem is not viewing the political situation at all, the attention of the community being directed elsewhere. Of course here is no need to explain what's diverting everybody's attention from the Presidential race. What could it be but the TATTLER'S New York-to-Paris popularity Derby? We do not mean to imply that the popularity race is as important as the Presidential race. Oh no. But at this stage of the game it's a great deal more exciting. Its result has a closer meaning to the residents of our fair city too. The odds are 8,000,000 to 0 that no resident of Harlem will be elected President, with no takers in sight. Any young man can make a girl friend an odds-on favorite in the popularity Derby and elect her himself. The pretty feature of the contest—aside from the charms of the contestants—is the fact that the TATTLER has no favorites. Rather, all the contestants are our favorites. We want to see them all win. If you think we are only kidding here's proof. The TATTLER stands ready to award first prize to EVERY contestant who secures 1,000 subscriptions or more. We also stand ready to multiply second, third and fourth prizes in proportion. Indeed we are willing to award so many prizes that Europe will think it's a reunion of gold star sisters of the A. E. F. So if you let the first period slip by without nominating a candidate don't be discouraged. You can still win. Come on in, the voting is fine. The more the merrier. To paraphrase our Communist friends: you have nothing to lose but a dreary Summer in the city; you have a world of pleasure to gain. A final thought. If you are conscientious about your political duties don't frett about being unable to do the right thing by your country this Fall. You will be back in America quite early enough to vote for President. A Good Street Gone Wrong If we had an ounce of reform immediately start a Save-Seventh thoroughfare which was once so liquor and is slipping downhill fast. Tactically every corner, marring the so a soup spot on a dress shirt. We way to move the speakeasles from a liquor drinkers, are usually compla reason. We have no doubt that if way they would agree to move the If we had an ounce of reform spirit in our system we would immediately start a Save-Seventh-Avenue movement. The noble thoroughfare which was once so picturesque and gay has taken to liquor and is slipping downhill fast. A dingy speakeasy stands on practically every corner, marring the scene-harmony of the boulevard like a soup spot on a dress shirt. We do not suppose there is any legal way to move the speakeasies from the Avenue, but liquor sellers, like liquor drinkers, are usually complaisant men and quite amenable to reason. We have no doubt that if they were approached in the right way they would agree to move their businesses elsewhere. Archie took a large gob of bichloride of mercury, which, as you know, when it doesn't kill you, makes you very sick. It made our Archie Long very sick . . . but it didn't move Hazel the least bit. Thereupon Archie tried it all over again, but he is very wise in the way of chemistry, and knows to a nicety what will kill and what will make you very ill. He just got sick again . . . so sick that some folks thought he had died, and it was so announced in the church . . . Berean Baptist, that he attends. But the announcement was wholly premature and unnecessary as it seems at this very moment Mr. Long was conferring with Hazel as to what her future plans were. That was a fortnight ago the same day that Mack was taken very ill with a severe case of pneumonia from which he is still suffering. This is the story to date. Prolougue No. 2, which will run next week, will be a continuation of these highly interesting true life stories with their hair-rising pajama scenes, pre-war champagne, and eternal triangle complexes you'll only find them in The InterState Tattler.

Lincoln Parks Estates Sales Establish Record In all the history of Real Estate, we have never heard of such rapid selling of lots on Long Island, as the manner in which colored people of Harlem have made purchases through the Mad-Rad Corporation owners of the finest tract of land in the country. Thousands of lots have been sold to this time, and every purchaser is completely satisfied for they realize that real value is there. Employing the use of superlatives, we might say here that Lincoln Parks Estates property is as high and dry as the Alps. When you get to Bellport and get off the train, walk across the road and you are in the midst of Lincoln Park Estates, and what a beautiful expanse of country awaits your gaze. As far as the human eye can stretch, an unbroken landscape as attractive to the eye as "God's" incomparable star-laden heaven. MAC-RAD ESTATES CORPORATION Wishes to announce to the Public, that Oscar H. Waters is no longer in their employ. The greatest surprise of all is the fact that these lots sell for $100, $150 and $200 per lot, size 25x100. Can you imagine what this development means to the colored race? It really means that in a short while building will start and Lincoln Estates will be called Lincoln City and we will have a city of our own. I wish you readers of our publication, would really make up your minds to make a trip to Lincoln Park Estates and get a first-hand view of this beautiful property. There is a beautiful pier at Bellport where the folks go fishing and swimming at their leisure. Take my advice, folks, and this is Mr. Levy speaking to you through the Columns of THE INTERSTATE TATTLER, don't let this golden opportunity slip. Drop down to see me at my office, No. 2145 Seventh Avenue, and Mrs. Levy, Miss Miller, the rest of the office personnel and myself will gladly explain anything that is not absolutely clear to you. --- The Theatre "AMERICA'S LEADING COLORED THEATRE" LAFAYETTE 7th AVE. at 132nd ST. Now Playing (Up to Sunday, June 3) LEONARD HARPER'S GREATEST REVUE The Midnite Steppers OF 1928 With BUD-HARRIS and VAN—Sammy Joey Harris—Lucille Hegamin—Slim Thompson and a supporting cast of 40 popular performers. Feature Photo Play "MAN CRAZY" With Dorothy Mackaill and Jack Mulhall Next Week—Beginning Monday, June 4 Dewey Weinglass' ROLLING ALONG With Gertrude Saunders and a company of 40 noted entertainers. Page Four Harlem THE LAFAYETTE Theatre has a nifty combination this week, presenting novelty features mixed in with the musical revue, together with the photo play, "Man Crazy," which opens the two and a half hour program. The Harris, Vanderhurst, Harris combination registered the highest on the opening of last Monday, taking encore. Little Joey Harris, the juvenile member of this classy trio, was warmly applauded after each of his selections. The little fellow has a mellow, pleasing voice and all dolled up in his little tux, won his audience the instant he appeared. Bud Harris and Sammy Vanderhurst cinched Theophilus Lewis' argument that cork, exaggerated eyes, mouth, absurd attire and etc. does not make a comedian. The boys strut their stuff minus cork, (blackening up) as two piano movers, wearing the working man's cap, shirt and neat fitting trousers. And their comedy chatter was the best we have heard in many a month. The act is clean from start to finish. Vanderhurst's dancing is good and little Joye's singing comes near to causing a riot. Laddie Lamont' an Ofay entertainer, thrills with a ladder act, the best we have seen. He climbs a straight-away ladder, balancing himself up aboout fourteen feet. His antics at the height will be found highly amusing and thrilling. Hilda Perleno, Lucille Hegemin and Alex Jackson's band appear to excellent advantage. The Japs are good but the snake act has no appeal other than the big, live, wriggling phython. Billy McLarnen and "Slim" Thompson feature the old cork and big lip low-comedy with fair success. Paul Sullivan and Nat Cash appear to advantage, the first as a freakish dancer and the latter as a police officer. * * * AT THE LINCOLN Theatre this week, the two in one policy is still in force. The dramatic playlet is a story of political ed. "Broadway After Dark." The chicanery and criminal life callstory is built around events that have taken place, with the names of the characters changed. Lawrence Cheanault, Charley Olden and Moty Hawley play the leading roles. Hawley plays a dual role, that of Larry McFadden, a reformed crook and as the crook, impersonates James Breslin, the District Attorney, who is crusading against a crime wave and the under world. Others in the cast are: Albert (Slick) Chester, as the coroner; Edna Barr as Aggie Kelly, Larry's sweetheart; Hilda Offley, Breslin, wife of the district attorney. John Mason with Crackshot Hackley, Jimmy Marshall, Sterling Grant, George Green and a fast stepping musical comedy dancing chorus, present, "Stepping Out," with rapid fire comedy situations, fair singing and better dancing. The picture for the last half of this week is, The Fair Co-ed, featuring Marion Davis. It deals with a fascinating campus beauty co-ed. It's a laugh a minute and sometimes oftener. The reels are filled with comedy situations, dealing with life college walls and how. M. ROSE GILLIARD, one of Harlem's favorite daughters, who has been very ill for the past month. She is making a speedy recovery and all are glad to know she will be out among us very soon. DEACON JOHN SON, the well known director and pioneer of musical entertainment, who will contribute his news and views of the profession each week. Tattler readers are looking forward A. B. to this feature with great in- Keep Shufflin' closed last Saturday evening. Miller and Lyles may appear in another big production and the rest of the cast will be at Liberty. Oh no; we did not say they would be at THE LIBerty. Too bad, too bad. * * Manager Scales of the Lincoln Theatre, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was in town last week, buying a big organ for his house. T' was only natural that he would drop in and pay his respects to the foremost colored theatrical publication in the world. * * Little Dorothy Jenkins, loveable child of song and dance, is one of the many reasons why Percy Harris' "Sugar Cane Club" is so popular. Miss Jenkins, along with Margaret Ricks, have a way of doing their stuff that's most appealing. * * * The Pocket Edition of Ethel Waters, petite Miss Hilda Rogers is g'wine ter Europe next week. She sails with Sam Wooding and band for Germany. There'll be a heap of weeping and wailing and how when the fascinating little brownskin departs, "Oh Lordy." * * * Poor Little Jeanette, with a husband in name only. The law and a half dozen other wives and almost as many kiddies, paid the youthful prize-fighter prodigy a visit at the Alhambra last week and toted him off to Yale. Huh, oh well, why do they have these colleges if not to fill? *** Mildred Smallwood, after an absence from the footlights, will again do her "Patti" sometime next week. Winsome Milly is one of our best toe dancers and a charming mademoiselle. But no more adieus Mildred.

Its one of the twin peaks of the re-peak is Bill Robinson's hoofing. Mr. Rose" the human foot. Before somebody asks the good book I hasten to explain I do not pedal extremity. I concede the author lavished all his artistry on the female's easiest feet to the ladies with the homeliness of the masculine hoof in the way of beauty of utility and letting it go at that. Bon has raised the male organ of locomotive. He has endowed it with dignity and beat the foot, no less than the head, pores agility and skill. He has proved beyond the masculine foot is worthy of a colloquy that every man's feet are capable of which has been mastered by Mr. Robin. Men can never grasp the abstruse reasons less than twelve men in the world were on ideas of relativity. I venture to assert that in the same territory are capable of learn Mr. Robinson's noble feet click off just on second thought I think that last read. I am convinced that there are only masculine feet in Christendom. Mr. Robin They are holding up at least thirty per cent of leslie's revue. THE 1928 edition of the Blackbirds is a corking good show. Its ensemble is far superior to any of the companies Mr. Leslie organized to support the talent of the late Florence Mills. But before I begin to rave I had better set down some of the things about it I do not like. I have won a hard-earned reputation for panning things and I just have to throw a few rocks to keep from disappointing my public. There are quite a few features of the Blackbirds I am not wild about. I was not so crazy about the lyrics of Dorothy Fields, the only excitement I got from the stunts of Wilton Crawley was the furtive hope that he would break his neck, and I could worry through life without ever seeing Mantan Moreland and still die happy. I did not like the cork on Tim Moore's puss but I did like his comedy, including the ideas he filched from Irvin Miller. When Mr. Leslie claims the entire production was staged and conceived by himself I cannot agree with him. I concede him the staging, and he has made a whacking good job of it, but a considerable part of his production was conceived by Gertrude Saunders and the before-mentioned Irvin Miller many moons ago. What remains is enough for any producer to be proud of. From the moment when the members of the orchestra appear with their gorgeous cerise neckties to the final fall of the curtain the show is a continuous romp of gayety. The scenic effects are gay, simple and in excellent taste, the chorus singing is supreme and there are moments when the orchestral harmonies approach magnificence. And let me say right here the pianist who performs to the leader's left really thumps his instrument grand. Billie Cortez tops all the women of the show, and no fooling. Aida Ward is sweet and demure and Adelaide Hall is sweet and vivacious, but when Miss Cortez takes command of the satire of "Porgy" and floods the auditorium with blue harmony there isn't any other woman in the world but her. Don't let anybody tell you different. I have not seen "Porgy" and I have sworn a mighty oath never to see it. But a man whose judgment I respect tells me that Mr. Leslie's satire surpasses the original in every way you care to mention. That's what they call art. Its one of the twin peaks of the revue. The other peak is Bill Robinson's hoofing. Mr. Robinson is the man who "made" the human foot. Before somebody accuses me of contradicting the good book I hasten to explain I do not mean he created the human pedal extremity. I concede the authorship to God. But the Creator lavished all his artistry on the female foot, usually giving the prettiest feet to the ladies with the homeliest faces. He completely ignored the masculine hoof in the way of beauty, investing it with a modicum of utility and letting it go at that. Mr. Robinson has raised the male organ of locomotion from its whilom lowly state. He has endowed it with dignity and poise and demonstrated that the foot, no less than the head, possesses intelligence as well as agility and skill. He has proved beyond all reasonable doubt that the masculine foot is worthy of a college education. This is not to say that every man's feet are capable of acquiring the vast knowledge which has been mastered by Mr. Robinson's learned dogs. Some men can never grasp the abstruse reasoning of Kant. Einstein said less than twelve men in the world were capable of understanding his ideas of relativity. I venture to assert that less than six sets of dogs in the same territory are capable of learning half the art and science Mr. Robinson's noble feet click off just like it is nothing at all. On second thought I think that last remark was a little exaggerated. I am convinced that there are only two superlatively educated masculine feet in Christendom. Mr. Robinson owns both of them. They are holding up at least thirty per cent of the weight of Mr. Leslie's revue. A Touch of Chivalry d tells me a really fetching story of Bie For years Mr. Robinson, perhaps better, has been one of the most conspicuous figures that he is the highest priced "single" that the exception of a few imported stars of the enhardt, for instance. He is fully aware of Lew Leslie, and when "Bo" signed up was prepared to make the usual concessioning, taking it for granted that he would be less known stars featured under him. MY little bird tells me a really fetching story of Bill Robinson's chivalry. For years Mr. Robinson, perhaps better known as "Bojangles," has been one of the most conspicuous figures in vaudeville. It is said that he is the highest priced "single" that ever worked in big time, with the exception of a few imported stars of the legitimate stage—Sarah Bernhardt, for instance. He is fully aware of his ability and value. So is Lew Leslie, and when "Bo" signed up with the show the producer was prepared to make the usual concessions to him in the matter of billing, taking it for granted that he would prefer to be headlined with the less known stars featured under him. But "Bo" would not have it that way. He insisted on Miss Hall and Miss Ward being given the preferred positions in the advertising, with himself and Tim Moore taking the second berths. They say this gesture of chivalry and consideration was wholly unappreciated by the management and his co-stars. No, they did not like it at all. 58-60 WEST 135th ST.

Is she doing well? two votes at the Swan Dark "The best patient we ever had," Tower Sunday, May 13th. Unlucky shouts the doctor and all the thirteen had no effect on the Lucille. She succeeded in having permitted to sit up. all of the food and the service of the Tower donated to her and a splendid crowd turned out. I tried to peek at the names on the cards and flowers but gave up * * * The next affair was a bridge, 500 and whist party last Monday, at the Dark Tower under the auspices of the Gitano card club of which Mrs. Patton is secretary. Two votes permitted you to play all evening for the beautiful prizes which the members contributed. The Gitano are Carita Owens, Louise Smith, Marion Brown, Adelaide Cheeseman, Azala Hogans, Lottie Simms, Hallie Talbert, Lulu Whitby, Doris Hernandez and the W. K. Algerron Roane enjoys the position of instructor. *** Then followed a Maytime Carnival at the Walker Studio on Saturday, May 26th which was sponsored by Lloyd C. Thomas, Taylor Gordon, William J. Madden, Jimmie Harris and Geraldyn Dismond. For four votes you could dance down from ten until two and we even permitted those who felt like it to come in costume. The gang was on hand and after the dance divided themselves between the Dark Power and Bob's. *** The next afternoon Bessye Bearden presented an afternoon of art, music and poetry at the Dark Tower at which a silver offering was collected. The guest speaker of the afternoon was Augustus Granville Dill who gave an illumination talk on "How Shall We Look at Pictures." On exhibit under the personal supervision of Winfred Jonathan Russell, who will exhibit at Fisk on June 1st, were the works of Augusta Savage, Melvin Gray Johnson, Aron Douglas, Winfred Jonathan, Russell and Albert Alexander Smith. * * * Mr. Noah D. Thompson, business manager of Opportunity, was master of ceremonies and on his program with Mr. Dill were Cecilia Lacey, lyric soprano, Goila Galvez, coloratura soprano, Carrie Overton, pianist, Consuela Papi, pianist, and Will Anthony Madden, dramatic reader. Well, with all that, how can she loose, I ask you. *** Even the blackest clouds can have rose colored linnings if you have the charm and popularity of Ethel Baird. Being in a sanitarium isn't the worst thing on earth when a kind and efficient Dr. Wiley Wilson has brought you smiling through an operation and a private nurse who knows just how to pat a pillow and coas you into being content in your flowers garden of a room. And that is the story of our Ethel Baird, a tiny doll in the center of her white bed on the head of which each day a dainty rose is fastened with a card which reads "from your daddy". Veeing with the rose for her attentions are baskets, jars, vases and boxes of every flower in and out of season, which almost smoother her and a pile of cards bearing every conceivable good wish and luck charm puts in its claim. Such have been the expressions of sympathy of her family and friends since the morning of the 18th when she quietly slipped upstairs from her shop and entered the Wiley Wilson Sanitarium for an operation. Is she doing well? "The best patient we ever had," shouts the doctor and all the nurses, and Saturday she will be permitted to sit up. I tried to peek at the names on the cards and flowers but gave up after discovering the George Hiltons, Sarah Wills. (she sends the cleverest cards. One each day). Charlotta Grant, Alice Lloyd, the William Bojangies Robinsons, Dr. Horace Worrell, the proprietor of La Rosa, her nephew and niece Bob and Cora Smith, Rose Williams, the Dr. A. J. Carters, Nettie Deming, Norma Mitchell, Baltimore Big and Little, Jules Bledsoe, Allonia Burdell and Leonard LaBeat. * * * Life is beautiful when you are sweet and lovely and Ethel Baird has shed a few tears of joy over the thoughtfulness of her friends. She sends a great big Thank You and promises to rest until Fall. In the meantime she can see her Rufus pass under her window, does not worry about her patrons because Mae Haskins can wave and care and beautify you right on out of this world, is confident that Dr. Wilson will let nothing happen to her and is as contended as a bee on a honey-suckle. * * * Well, the Atlantic City correspondent, Alyss Mae Hershaw, and her girl friend, Norvell Majors, turned Harlem downtown and the Village every sort of way but loose over the week-end. They were the house guests of Dr. and Mrs. Granday and made the Sunrise, Sugar Cane, Mexico's, The May Carnival at the Walker Studio and the Hall Johnson tea at Neale's Studio, dinner at Ernest Cooks and the twelve o'clock for the shore Sunday night. Yes, they enjoyed it. *** The Hall Johnson Negro Choir—that sounds terribly dull — had a studio party, ah, that is better—at Floyd Neale's Studio. (Mr. Neale is station announcer—just like me to forget—I believe it is W G B S) Sunday afternoon. As usual, the choir sang out of this world and a string quartette played right down. After the party William Gassner, Hall Johnson, Alyss Mae Hershaw, Norvell Majors and the Dismonds drove down to Ernest Cook's in the village where Mr. Cook had prepared a marvelous dinner of the most unusual things. Lester Moffett, who edits the Electrical Merchant, joined the dinner party and later in the evening Geraldine Gooding and Charles Dickey came down. Hall gave such an enthusiastic argument in behalf of Negro bands that we flew up at the Sugar Cane to see what it was all about. We stayed until Mr. Cherry locked the doors and were absolutely convinced that only the brothers can play. Roberta Dodd Crawford of Chicago who sails Saturday on the Majestic for Paris was the house guest of Mrs. Lemuel Foster for the week. * * * Mrs. A. B. Kastor of Chicago is the guest of Mrs. Charles Hunter of 80 St., Nicholas Place. * * * The "Varsity Drag" will be a feature of the Annual.

Douglas, Bessye Bearden, the Unique Exclusive Club, Mrs. A. P. Glover, Mrs. M. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Walker, Mrs. Francis, Mrs. E. P. Hall, Mrs. Hattie English, R. Abbott. * * * Last Friday evening Rita Munoz gave a post Lenten dance for the benefit of the Lieut. Julian Airplane Fund at Bamboo Inn. Miss Edwards and Mrs. Bowen assisted her. Bamboo Inn was turned into a flower garden. About 2.15 a box of lucky numbers were passed around and the lucky ones received beautiful prizes among which were a georgeous floor lamp and a Chinese panel. Mrs. Munoz had at her table a party of twenty. Miss Elizabeth Handy at hers a party of fifteen. *** The Mayor Dick Allen was in power in Mexico's early Sunday morning. I never knew there were so many people here from Atlantic City. It was Dick this, Allen that and Major you honor—here's how. With him were the Alyssa Mae Hershaw, his press representative, Norvell Beautiful Majors, Bob Douglas and Lady Nicotine. All the celebs were out—Lillian Powell, Hazel Coles, Evelyn Sheppard and the director of Show Boat (a charming Italian), rhyming conxers who rhymed on out of this world, the Grand Duke of Ellington (handsomer than ever) and Hall Johnson, minus his choir. You can't beat the Mexico's. * * * Eugene Trotter presented his mother with a marvelous hand carved gold ring set with an emerald for her birthday, Friday. Maybe after all I should have a son. * * * Charles Randall, Mayor Dick Allen, Lemuel Gibbs, Joe Tyler and James Abrams came in from Atlantic City to give Sammy Robinson, the A. C. entrant in the Los Angeles to New York cross country race a big send off, Saturday night at the Madison Square Garden. You can't beat the Mayor and his party. They took him back on the special Sunday and when he reached home—a brass band and everything at the station. * * * The Dark Tower has a special mid-night supper and entertainment on Sunday nights. The gang is out if full. * * * Mrs. Clara Wammack entertained at a surprise birthday party Friday night for her daughter Virginia.

C.A. west 137th Street Branch gave an excellent exhibition of their work Friday evening, May 25th at the New York Training School for Teachers, Convent Avenue at 135th Street. Under the supervision and training of Miss Vivian Roberts who aims to have colored children do only dances of the finest caliber, these pupils have learned the art of the Russian Ballet School and the dances were strictly of the classic and interpretive type. *** Mecca Temple last Friday was the scene of much rejoicing. For the first time the Workers (Communist) Party was permitted to hold a national convention. Across the platform, on which sat the delegates and alternates of all colors, was a huge banner which read "Hail the World Revolution. Hail the Communist International." Three years ago the communist party was an outlaw organization which bootlegged its conventions, but today it is the legitimate heir of all that was socialistic and revolutionary before the war and boasts of 150 delegates from forty states and representatives of all groups of workers and oppressed people. There were Negroes, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Poles, textile workers, miners, farmers and even a delegate from the solid south. Many times one heard "class consciousness", "militant leaders," "the Red Army," "Proletarian supremacy" and cablegrams from the communist parties of foreign countries flowed in. *** Among the speakers were William Z. Foster, former vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, who became famous through his efforts to organize the steel workers, Ben Gitlon, Louis Minor, editor of the Daily Worker, Lucy Martin of Chicago, widow of the Englishman who attempted to organize the African laborers, and Lovett Ford Whiteman, former president of the American Negro Labor Congress, member of the Executive Council of the Third International, and an associate editor of the Daily Worker.

Eva Williams was there to represent Corona and Dr. Isabelle Granger, Gretchen Bowser, Kathryn Webster, Anita Carrington, Anna Brown, Angelina Downing, Hazel Fannell, Anna Reed, Elizabeth Ford, Josephine Stanley, Edith Milburn and Edna Davis for Brooklyn. Mrs. Stanley walked off with the first prize, a linen table cloth, Mrs. Milburn with the third, a hand embroidered pillow case and Mrs. Davis fell heir to the consolation prize, a maderia pin cushion. Mrs. Gardeen, in the role of a charming hostess, was a complete success and even the blase Harlemites promised never to miss one of her parties. *** Thursday evening, June 7th, eight-thirty oclock, the Victory Life Insurance Company will conduct the Monthly Forum of the Abyssinian Baptist Church. Facts and figures will be given to show in a concrete way what Victory life means to Harlem. The larger benefits of life insurance will also be shown.

Sara Washington Beauty Hints SOME people who considers themselves very particular look down upon the girl who shaves her legs and the underarm hair, but as a matter of fact they have no more right to scorn her than to scorn the man who shaves the hair from his face. Superfluous haid detracts from the daintiness of a woman's appearance, and silk stockings and sheer frocks and blouses and sleeveless evening dresses make it more apparent. Because the practice of underarm delipatories or shaving started with chorus girls is no reason for considering it beneath the dignity of the social leader. Lucky the woman who has no superfluous hair; let the rest of her sex get rid of it the best they can. But when it come to the question of hair on the face, let them beware of quack remedies. If they can not have it removed by electrolysis, bleach it out by peroxide of hydrogen, and don't risk ruining the skin and probably doing no permanent good as far as the hair is concerned, by using delipatories. will play one hour of concert music from 8 until 9 o'clock.

New York Telephone: Edge. 6316 On the Genus and Species of the Homo Medicus By Kelly Miller, Jr. (M.D., Howard, 1927) ---Editor--- BEHIND the thin vencer of compactness and homogeneity there is found within the medical profession as great a variety of groups and types as there is ever observed in any other profession, vocation or walk of life, and as sharply demarcated from each other. These differences are based less on physical peculiarities or social distinction, than on the original personality—the make-up, and the psychic reactions associated with it. We all know even though it be in a very vague way, that Dr. Smith is different from Dr. Brown, and that the two are different from Dr. Jones. Let us attempt now, perhaps in a rather sketchy way, to outline the main types. The following may be regarded as comprising the most sharply differentiated groups or types. A. With Reference to the Practice of Medicine 1. The old fashioned general practitioner, country or family doctor who practices medicine for the good of the community and humanity. According to the most authentic statistics, this type of medical man is fast disappearing. Medical men are drifting toward the large cities where they can establish themselves as specialists and obtain better hospital and clinical facilities. 2. The specialists as a class are usually located in the cities. The true specialist is a person who has spent years of study and investigation in some particular sense of medicine. He is in every sense of the word an authority in that particular branch of medicine in which he specializes. 3. The investigator or research worker is one who is anxious to make some discovery which may be of vital importance to the health of mankind. The man who belongs to this class is as a rule particularly suited for this type of work. He is one who can toll from morning to night on some particular detail, and often when he finds out that his work has been in vain, he is willing to start the experiment over with a smile. As a rule, this class of worker has a shut-in personality. He does not seek company and is perfectly contented with peeping through the microscope or performing experiments hour after hour without tiring or seking diversion. His sole object is to make some discovery in medicine or its allied sciences which may render these sciences more effective in their respective fields. Unfortunately, the numbers in this group are small because of poor economic returns, but probably in the long run they do the most to help humanity and to increase the span of human life. It is on their backs that most of us ride, profiting by results of their labor and patience. (Continued next week) FEMALE HELP WANTED ADDRESS ENVELOPES at home Spare time. Experience unnecessary.

Assuming that there is some sort of "unwritten law" that keeps colored ball tossers from pastiming in the American and National Leagues is that any reason why a citizens' committee shouldn't demand a hearing on the subject in view of certain happenings during the past six months? --- THE name of Andy Cohen, budding young Jewish star, who is a member of John McGraw's New York Giants, is on the lips of "Young and Old America." He is the topic of moment because there has always been just as much prejudice directed against Jewish ball players as to all appearances there is against the hundreds of colored ball stars who infest the southern colleges and semi-pro organizations. There were many angles that prompted McGraw the Hibernian to corral "Cohen," making for a sort of "Abie's Irish Rose" complex. hday threw a baseball with the and a Walter Johnson. NOT the least of these was the box office viewpoint. Thousands of Jewish fans turn out yearly to witness big league games, and always have they clamored for a member of their race in the line-up of a potential championship aggregation like the Giants or the Yankees. Another way of looking at the situation from a McGrawvian outlook is the great appeal his action of placing Cohen in Rogers Hornsby's shoes will have upon other outstanding Jewish stars. Instead of having any one minor league club for a "farm" as the term is used in baseball circles, --- he employs an entire nation of people roughly estimated at 3,486,000 and due strictly to business acumen ,foresight and psychology. * * * AN instance where a colored player pastimed in a league of recognized ability was that of Fleetwood Walker, dubbed "Fleet" by his team-mates. Walker, one of the greatest catchers organized baseball has ever known, rivalling even the immortal Buck Ewing in that respect, played with Toledo of the American Association, and hailed from Oberlin, Ohio. HE was not a huge bulk of a man, quite the opposite he was of average height and weight and muscled like a thoroughbred race-horse. Of extreme aflability, smart, clever, well-educated and as smoothly mannered as a dancing master, he could whip the ball to second base as no man in the world unless it was Buck Ewing. Baseball enthusiast traveled a long way to see him play in days when travel was expensive and baseball games were much cheaper than travel. His stay with Toledo was short-lived, for the "unwritten law" that seemingly prohibits colored men from their rightful share of the calcium in this national sport ruled him out. * * * DURING latter years he made Steubenville, Ohio, his home, and we believe he still resides there to this day, dreaming of the "Big League" glory that might have been his, even as did Grant the mulatto, who once horned in with the Giants of the early '80s. "Fleet" had a brother, named Moses Walker, who could play third base like Lave Cross. He too failed to get far as a professional player for the bars were up against him. These are cited as only isolated cases to show the skill of colored players. * * * MANY present-day stars, like Joe Wiliams, Dehigo, Jap Washington, Nip Winters, Cockrell DeMoss, Mackey, Whitworth, Charleston, "Fat" Jenkins, Gardner, Malarcher, Marcell, Lundy, Downs, Ben Taylor, and countless others; would have made the big league grade as easily as did Eddie Collins. Speaker, Cobb, Ruth, et al. * * * OSCAR CHARLESTON, who earned the sobriquet of the "Black Ty Cobb," would pack them in at any park because of his picturesque style of play, and his all-around ability. With all due respect to Tony Lazerri and Andy Cohen, neither one rates in the same class with the mighty Charleston, or the versatile Dehigo. In barnstorming games, Mickey Cochrane of the Athletics, Heinie Manush of St. Louis, and "Fatty" Fathergill of the Red Sox, all agreed that Dehigo, the Cuban wonder, of Cum Posey's Homestead Grays, excelled George Kelly and Bob Meusel as a thrower—what greater tribute is wanted than that—come on, fans, let's get together and petition the magnates to trot out a real 100 per cent American ball player of color along with the foreign array. World Record Set for Scholastic 440 COLUMBUS, O. — Herbert Moxley, nineteen-year-old Negro athlete entered from Columbus Central became a potential Olympic candidate at the Ohio high school track and field meet last Saturday afternoon when he shattered the world's interscholastic record for the 440-yard dash. Moxley's time, 48 2-10 seconds, clipped 6-10 of a second from the previous record of 48 8-10, held since 1912 by "Ted" Meredith of Mercersburg Academy, Philadelphia. Lincoln Giants Defeat Philas Elks in Thrilling 11 Inning Contest "Lefty" Gisentaner was the hero of a thrilling eleven inning game at Protectory Oval Sunday, May 27th, when his single scored the winning run against the Philadelphia Elks. The final score was 4-4 in favor of the Lincoln Giants. Gisentaner also pitched great ball for the local team, holding the visitors to eleven scattered hits. Man THE BASEBALL PLAYER JOHNNY LLOYD called the Bronzed Wagner now manages Lincoln Giants. ager Lloyd shared honors with the pitcher, at bat, getting four hits including a triple and two bagger in five trips to the plate. Tibutt, who was on the mound for the Elks, also pitched great ball and was given wonderful support by his teammates. The game was one of the best attractions that has been at Protectory Oval all season. Because of the inclement weather the game with the Philadelphia Professionals had to be postponed. The score was as follows: Philadelphia Elks .....0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0—3 Lincoln Giants .....0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1—4 Cuban Stars to Play at Protectory Oval Sunday, June 3rd Alexander Pompez's famous Cuban Stars will make their second local appearance at Protectory Oval, 177th Street and Tremont Avenue on Sunday afternoon, June 3. They will meet the Lincoln Giants in a double header. The Cubans have one of the best teams in their long history and it is expected that a large number of Harlem fans will journey to the Bronx to witness this series. Pauline Jackson to Attempt Channel The monster midnight benefit for the Pauline Jackson Swim the English Channel Fund to be held next Wednesday (June 6th) will be a gala event in Harlem.

Miss Jackson is at the present time the greatest female swimmer of her race and she will occupy a conspicuous place in this race in August. Every public spirited citizen should lend her a helping hand. Eastern Baseball League Continues to Operate PHILADELPHIA. Two possible three-new clubs will be admitted to the Eastern League when the organization meets in Atlantic City late his week. If Alejandro Pomez, of he Cubans, felt that he was dealing a death blow to that Association, when he sent in his resignation to that body when it met here on Friday, he is disappointed. Although Jim Keenan, owner of the Lincoln Giants (New York), quickly followed in the footsteps of Strong, Bolden, and Pompez, the league is still extant. Applications for three new charters were ordered investigated, and the possibilities are that two of them will be reported favorably. Aroused at last by the continued snippings the league will make immediate reprisals. Since its constitutions says that the players of all clubs surrendering franchises are the property of the league, the various magnates will endeavor to sign any men they want. N. Y.

Montgomery Gregory as the Maker of Dreams. This play opposite in theme to the No' Count Boy was presented with no less charm. The players, the setting the music and the poetic lines hold the audience spell bound, each move, each turn of this beautiful sketch in which the pair Pierrette and Pierrot, wandering troubadours are vainly seeking the one great love. Pierrette is aware of her deepening love for Pierrot but Pierrot chases pretty cheeks, and deep blue eyes in vain to find his. The Maker of Dreams comes to Pierrot's aid, gives him the key to happiness and he finds love and happiness at his own breasts. Special credit should be given Miss Scott for her excellent performance though she is naturally charming in her annual off stage, she is so specially so in her role as Pierrot.

The closing of the University—the departure of old friends, all causes a disquieting emotion and a reawakening ot memories. * * * Have you seen the Howard Campus in Springtime—when the sun shines down on the opalescent waters, and the myriad _ tender, green leaves throw fantastic shad- ows on the paths? It is start- lingly beautiful to the unseasoned visitor, it is tormentingly glorious to the Old Grads and the students who are leaving. *._ * * And we hear that so many of the Old Grads are coming back for the Track Meet, the Internes’ Conven- tion or Commencement. New York is actually getting generous and lending Phil Edwards for the meet on the 30th. Um says he’s going to run to Washington, and there’s no reason why he and William But- ler shouldn’t, with their 880 and 440 yard championship legs. *_ 2 © The Commencement Week events offer bids to the most exacting of persons.

That lovely green glassware was unattainable by some. The lucky birds were Fran- ces Garvin, Katie Harris and Rob- bie Lofton, from the club, with Caroline Calloway, Hattie Edwards and Mercedes Rector, from the guests. Note.—I think we ought to pass a law requiring that any one who has won more than 100 prizes in a season should return the overflow. (Frances, please read.) The Junior Matrons are: Mrs. J.

So long! ELvera. Howard University Campus By The Spectator COMMENCEMENT is right at hand and we are all rushing towards that goal. It will be an in- tellectual treat to hear Rabbi Stephens S. Wise, Ph.D. of New York City, deliver the commence- ment address on the campus, Fri- day, June 8, 1928. The Baccalau- reate Sermon to the Graduates will be preached on June 8, by Dr. Modecai W. Johnson, President in the Howard Gymnasium. Wednesday morning at ten o’clock it was,—just as the Specta- tor was approaching the Main Building his eyes fell immediately upon a circle of student politicians, grouped closely together. At once {¢ could be seen that: some good dope was being broadcasted into the air. A stately well poised fig- ure stood in the center and was the speaker of the moment. The Spectator, upon his ability to mix, rushed into the circle—and who do you think the leader of the discus- sion was?— It was Jean Ilmac giv- ing the low down on the student election. .

Well, Imac consoled himself and his audience that this ili character would soon be on her leave, a8 graduation will soon elim- inate her from the good law abid- ing student body. Ilmac strongly contended that he was greatly sur- prised that our Holy and righteous president elect would allow such dirty work to assist him to office. It is rumored that the Student Council has appointed a committee to investigate Charles H. Manney’s slush fund. * . * Oh! Yes, Glenwood Jones is our next president of the council, while Baxter Don Goodall will edit the Hilltop, assisted by Ivan Taylor. oe The Kappa Sigma Debating So- ciety of Howard University pre- sented Atlanta vs. Howard in an in- tercollegiate debate on Thursday evening, May 24th. Although the decision was given to Howard, many thought that Atlanta won by a margin. Both teams did well. Dandridge and Burell debated for Howard. eee The Good Will Student Commit- tee from West Virginia Collegiate Institute stopped at Howard for several days. Seemingly their stay at the University was indeed pleas- ant, as both the students and Stu- dent Council did their best to en- ertain them. The Student Council presented the pretty and charming Avis An- drews in recital in tne rankin Me- morial Chapel on May 30th at 8:15. Miss Andrews is truly an artist and is a student who is highly praised by the whole student body at the University. This sweet and modest Co-ed is also well known in Washington and Baltimore as The Little Song Bird of Melody. Miss Andrews’ recital was a rare treat for us all.

One of the most interesting and prominent booths is the "Margaret Murray Washington Lancil." It is named for Mrs. Booker T. Washington. The Kick In Dance was held at the Alvin Dansant Saturday night, May 26th. It was a spring informal dance and everybody came out dressed in spring attire and left all formality at home. The proceeds of the dance go toward the defraying of Miss Laverta Halts expenses while studying abroad. Miss Halt expects to leave for London sometime in July to remain for three years to study voice. Mrs. Aaron Payne was hostess to the "Bridgettes" Wednesday evening. The party was somewhat of a farewell affair for Mrs. Carl G. Roberts. The club presented Mrs. Roberts with a pair of binoculars. So she can really see the sights while in gay Paree. Miss Hilda Stokes invited a few friends out to play bridge last Sunday evening. When one tired of bridge Austin played some tight music and so — we all proceeded to do the Varsity drag—don't you know. Then in came the punch and then we were invited out to the breakfast room where—well really folks words fail me—Anyhow what was served was something mighty fine. The guests were Miss Nancy Jaimeson, Florence Draper, Leona Denison, Leola Thompson, Grace Burney and Aileen Baker. Our male escorts were, Lemuel MacDougal, Frank L. Hailstolk, Jr.. Harold Thompson, Dave Ross, Austin Scott and Kenneth Baker. Horsefeathers! The Mighty Maroons broke all records and sprung a feast that was out of this world. A three course dinner was served at the Bird Cage Tea Room and the golden fluid flowed steadily throughout the dinner.

Mr. Spriggs is assistant manager at the Savoy. Before the Foolights By PLAYBOY NEGRO actors and actresses used up a good deal of copy in the Chicago white papers for the last few weeks. For instance Burns Mantle, theatrical critic of the Chicago Sunday Tribune, had the following to say in the issue of May 20. May Curb Negro Enterprises. "There are whispers—just whispers up to now—that the progressive advance of the colored players in the native theatre is going to force the issue of a color line being drawn sooner or later. "Folks are writing to the editors about it. Calling attention to the fact that there are to be three colored companies entertaining New Yokers this summer in three of the principal theatres. 'Keep Shufflin' a Negro revue, is playing now in the Eltinge. 'Blackbirds of 1928' flew into the Liberty next door, last week, and 'Porgy' is to return to the Republic shortly. "In the first night audience that saw 'Blackbirds of 1928' there was a sprinkling of colored folk on the orchestra floor, and while lobbies were discussing this at least unusual situation, word came from another theatre that a well known Nordic novelist had escorted a colored lady to the performance of 'Diamond Lil'. "Doesn't amount to anything, this traditional protest, at present. But I tell you, sah, here are enough hotheads, even in this center of freedom, to make an issue of the situation, sah, and demand action! No sane reason for it, unless you feel that way about it. But hotheads don't stop to reason. * * * Negroes Are Poorly Paid. "On the other hand, there are also protests, growing out of the recent attack on the Theatre Guild because, it is alleged, the guild is permitted to take liberties with the moral code in their productions which are denied their less arty competitors, that the Negro players are being unfairly exploited in the theatre. They are not paid a fair wage, insist these protestants, simply because they are Negroes. The 'Porgy' company, it is declared, was on the verge of a strike recently because its players were not fairly paid. They organized 'Blackbirds largely from the floor show at one of the popular night clubs. It is a lively show, in which the colored specialists are permitted to do the things they do best in the way of entertainment. The chorus is full throated and melodious going spiritual in an imitation of the wake scene from 'Porgy', and swinging back to jazz without jarring the harmonies or the sensibilities. The humor is kept free of slavish imitation of the whites and the dancing is, of course, excellent. * * * Lesson for White Comedians "A chap named Bill Robinson holds the stage for a quarter hour with as fine an exhibition of tap dancing as the local stage has seen. The leading ladies are Adelaide Hall and Aida Ward, Adelaide specializing in character songs, blue and a light saffron, and Aida taking care of the heavier ballads. "I was pleased to note that the sketches, while nothing to boast of, were free of the coarseness the white comedians indulge. This is true, generally of the colored shows. Their wit is primitive, but it is clean. The chorus girls are all of the high yaller type and the men, when light, smear their faces with cork. That appears to be a standard contrast. The comedians must be very, very black and the choristers as light as possible."
