Beware of Fake Contest
Representatives
One M. Warren, in some un
Known manner came in posses-
sion of one of the Interstate
Tattler “On To Paris” contest
books.
He is selling subscriptions to
Herlemites, and we hope soon to
apprehend him through the co-
operation of the police. Mr, W.
A. Tape, of 5 West 134th Street,
first brought this matter to our
attention, and we now make the
request that all purchasers of
subscription blanks for the con-
test that ends on August 4th,
bring their stub to the office at
once in order that a proper
check-up can be made. This is a
warning to you to be on the
lookout for M. Warren, just cali
a policeman and have him walk
him over to the Tattler Office,
2296 Seventh Avenue, and we
will press the charge against
him.
Violet Speedy Gets Divorce
in Chicago
MissViolet. Specdy, pretty chorus
dancer of New York and Chicago,
most recently a member of the
cast of Miller & Lyle's “Keep Shuf-
flim’, was awarded a dearee of
divorce from her husband, Oscar
Price,
The charming Violet, who was
known in private Sife, prior to
her separation as Mrs. Lillian
Johnson Speed-Price, was granted
her freedom upon her complaint
of extreme ernelty, The plaintiff
was represented by Attorney A. KE.
Patterson.
In her complaint. Mrs. Price
alse states that during all the time
she lived with her hushand she
treated him kindly and affection-
ately and in al things conducted
herself towards him a4 a chaste,
affectionate, and dutiful wife, and
that notwithstanding her Jove and
affection, her husband was guilty
of repeated cruelty toward her.
Such practices as striking her
with his fist. slapping her face and
pulling ner hair were common for
him, Mrs. Price claims. On other
occasions, she avers, he kicked and
slapped her, struck her in the
face and squeezed her hands. The
most brutal of the punishment
which he inflicted upon her, as-
serted Mrs. Price, was on the 15th
of May. 1927, when he threw her
to the floor, choked her, and other-
wise beat and abused her, causing
her great. bodily pain. ai
Columbus Jackson Cuts
Chorus Girl
“Footiights,” a theatrical pub-
Hication, states that the Hotel
Trenier, Chicago, Ill, was the
scene of a drunken brawl last
Saturday morning when the pop-
ular famed hostelry was thrown
into a panic following a disturb-
ance staged by members cf the
Kthel Waters “Africana” Com-
pany. One of the chorus girls,
whose name has been withheld, be-
ing severely cut by Columbus
Jackson, also a member of the
unit.

DR. HOLLOWAY, PROMINENT CHICAGO PHYSICIAN,
STIFD FOR DIVORCE BY WIFE
Chicago is all agog over the sensational charges filed by Mrs. Cleo Dick-
erson Hollaway, noted musician, against her husband, one of the leading western
physicians. i
Dr. and Mrs. Holloway were married three years ago and since that time
have been making their home on South Parkway until last week, when the
trouble occurred that compelled her to leava her spouse and seek sanctuary
among friends. ,
Mrs. Ho'loway stated in her bill, which is filed in the superior court, that
her husband had been cruel to her for some time, his treatment culminating in
the scence which drove her from his home. The bill further states that the doc-
tor’s adopted daughter, Bertha, had also been instrumental in causing trouble
between the pair.
Ulysses Chambers, talented pipe
organist, formerly of the Lafayette
Theatre and one time musical in-
structor of the Public Schools of
Trenton, N. J. and his beautiful
wife, Mrs. Evhel Chambers, a post
graduate of Columbia University,
are about to part. according to
press despatches from Chicago,
The Chambers'’s are well known
both in seciety and in musical cir-
cles of New York City, having
Jived here up until last year after
leasing their houses in St. Louis,
Mo. Mr. Chambers has ‘been
the guest organist at the new
Regal Theatre In Chicago for the
pust several months, and is consid-
ered one of the best in his profes-
sion, Some time ago, Mrs. Cham-
Doers instituted a suit: against her
husband for separate maintenance,
and recently caused his arrest on
a charge of disorderly conduet re-
sulting from an altercation.
Mrs. Chambers explained to
Judge Fairbanks of the Sth Street
court that on May 12th, her hus-
band who has not been supporting
her phoned her to come to his
room at 430 49th Street and he
would talk things over and = ar-
range for her support.
On reaching his room and after
a lengthy conversation, they were
unable to come to an agreement.
She then started to leave, but: hub-
by blocked her path, informing her
that she could not leave alive, be-
gun beating her terribly.
They were unable to come to an
agreement. She then started to
Ieave and he blocked the door, and
shouted 10 her that she would not
leave alive, and severely attacked
her. Mrs. Chambers states that he
beat her terribly and choked her
most cruelly, throwing her upon a
bed and rammed her hat down her
throat. He then bundled her in
his car and drove her to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. Gray Lucas,
3644 S. Parkway, where she was
residing. The latter acted as wit-
nesses in the case and testfied of
her painful condition on her ar-
rival,
Husband's Denial
Chambers denied striking his
wife at any time during their en-
counter. He declared that his wife

night in question with conditions

. WHAT DO THEY WANT?
Pr RE-CONVENTION politics has made some strange playfellows.
Know-nothing white bourbons of the South and learn-nothing black
republicans of the North are standing united in their opposition to the
nomination of Governor Smith. When Senator Simmons of North
Carolina lines out the hymn of hate former Alderman Harris of New
York throws a religious fit and shouts “Amen”. This is a stange
business.
We can understand the opposition of the Southern reactionaries.
Almost without exception they are men born and reared during the
bitterness of the reconstruction period and their views are limited by
the narrowness ard bigotry of that barbarous era, But the attitude of
colored republicans, especially those of New York, is a phenomenon
we cannot account for. It seems to be of bughouse logic all compact.
Their attitude cannot be explained on the grounds of party loyalty.
They are Negroes as well as republicans and while they may conscien-
tiously believe that continued republican success will be the best thing
for the interests of the rece, they must also know that a political up-
heaval or, even a political accident, may cause the electicr of a demo-
crat to the Presidency. Since it is probable that a democrat may be
elected, intelligent race-interest dictates that colored republicans tactily,
as well as colored democrats openly, should desire a progressive, effi-
cient and tolerant man at the head of the ticket. -
For some obscure reason which we are unable to discover, our
republican brethren take the opposite stand. With astonishing impu-
dence they are offering colored democrats unasked for counsel and
with astonishing imbecility they are advising them to oppose the nomi-
nation of the man whose success is most to be desired both from a
party and race point of view. Apparently rating the intelligence of
colored democrats on a par with their own, our republican friends try
to convince us that it is to our advantage to repudiate the candidate
who has won the becking of the East, North and West and the bitter
opposiion of the reactionary elements of the South. We say the reac-
tionary elements of the South because there is coming into prominence
a new generation of Southern men with a progressive and tolerant
view of race relations. This new element is represented in literature
by the Stallingses, Heywoods and Striblings and represented in politics
by th Byrds and Ritches. This class of Southerners is not opposing
Governor Smith. His opposition comes from the Heflins, Bleases, Swan-
sons and Simmonses. When colored republicans of the North join forces
with these reactionaries of the South are we to infer that both desire
the perpetuation of race bitterness for the convenienc of political
exploitation? We know the Southern reactionaries want that. Do
colored republicans want the same thing? If not, what do they want?
lord, Officer Graham of the third
district, testified that the noise
of the argument awakened him
about 1:30 in the morning and h»
went up to investigate. He said
Mrs. Chambers was saying she
wanted to go heme, but there
was no evidence of a physical en
counter visible. The other witness
claimed that he had looked over
the transom at the pair and had
seen Mrs. Chambers knock her
husband's glasses off, but had not
seen him strike her.
Judge Fairbank ruled that the
evidence against Chambers was
not conclusive enough to find him
guilty and discharged him. At-
torney Theophilus Mann of the
law firm of Morris, Chashin and
Dickerson represented Chambers.
Bess Case Stirs the South
The case of Ben Bess, who
served 13 years of a life sen-
tence for criminally assaulting a
white woman and who was liber-
ated recently when the woman
declared him innorcnt, has
aroused unusual sympathy thru.
out the country.
First, only the solid South
joined in a movement to pro-
mote a “Freewill” contribution
plan to reimburse Bess for the
gross injustice done him. All
throughout the Middle West
and in four Ezstern States, peo-
ple of both races are clamoring
to do something for poor Ben
Bess who was railroaded to
prison by this white woman’s
perjured statement. Robbed of
some of the best years of his
life, Bess hardly knows which
way to turn in order to com-
mence life anew. One White
woman in the spirit of fairplay .
raised this question: “What el i
sition would it have placed the
State of South Carolina, haa
Bess been hanged as the pro-
secution suggested.” The Tattler
is interested deeply in the case
of Ben Bess.

started a general free for all fight.

Social Snapshots
Geraldyn Dismond
N the face of all the rumors of a heatless summer, June 1st has burst upon Harlem with a series of warm and sunshiny days. Each morning I awake and peek fearfully out the window, only to be reassured by more sun. I have been frantically calling for fur storage, the cleaner, and the dressmaker. Nothing suits my temperment so much as a yellow frock and a yellow transparent velvet coat unless it be a green frock and a green transparent, velvet coat. To sit at a desk is unbearable. I have started in to cultivate the owners of roadsters and to plan a trip to Coney Island. I gaze out upon my Seventh Avenue and the big parade flaunts printed crepes, flowered chiffons; delightfully dark West Indian gentlemen in Palm Beach suits; bright reds, greens, blues, yellows, orchids. Straw hats in the snap of a finger have replaced the smart small felts. Frankye just saundered by with the most gorgeous of waves adorning his equally gorgeous black hair. The poolrooms have emptied out an easy laughing, loose mouthed rabble, and Johnny Hudgins, my ink black office cat, has absolutely deserted my desk and sits very haughtily in the sun. I sigh and sharpen pencils and rattle papers and can't think of a darn thing to write. It is June and I have summer fever.

Doctor and Mrs. Emmett J. Scott of Washington have announced the marriage of their youngest daughter, Lenora Kyle, to Dr. Walter Winfield Goens. The marriage took place on February 7th, 1925 at Fairfax, Virginia, during Dr. Goen's senior year in the medical school of Howard University, but the romantic couple have delayed the announcement until the close of the doctor's first year of practice in Northfolk, West Virginia.
The adorable Lenora, in the meanwhile has been teaching in the public schools of Atlantic City and spending her week-ends with her parents and twin, Horace, in Washington. The announcement is not a surprise to her intimate friends, who long ago discovered the cause of her day dreams and mysterious smile.
* * *
And while we are on brides—the Reverend and Mrs. John W. Robinson, formerly of Chicago and now of New York City, have announced the coming marriage of their daughter, J. Marjory to Mr. Henry R. Jackson, Jr., on June 28 at St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church. Miss Robinson is considered one of the most talented young women of Harlem and for some time has conducted a private kindergarten. Her engagement to the fortunate Mr. Jackson, Jr. was made known during the winter and society circles have been looking forward to the marriage.

The swank De La Marge Club gave at the Renaissance last Thursday the smartest affair of the late season. The Renaissance was as attractive as ever, the music still righteous, and the members out did themselves with private box parties. There were dainty luncheons and what is more to the point the very best of liquids.
* * *
And here we have the "De La Margers". Margaret Reeves is president, Eva B. Smith, vice-president, Fannie Evans, recording secretary, Clare J. Hart, financial secretary, Pearl Mitchem, corresponding secretary, and the members are: Edna Stanley, Ruth Sims, Elizabeth Allen, Dolly Nash, Lulu Robinson Jones, Narcissus Turner, Mamie Jackson, Carrie Haywood, Mattie Hunter, Kate Corrin, Esther Bright, Irene Royal, Fannie Wood.
Their second annual frolic was the bee's knees. Here's hoping that I make the third.

Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. S. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Ward, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Seviere, Mrs. H. D. Glasglow, Miss H. Gibson, Mrs. Emma J. Murray, Leroy Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Roach, Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Lee, Mrs. Catherine Calhoun, W. L. Logan, Professor and Mme. De Knight, J. H. Duthrie, Mrs. Jerry D. Evans, Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

There are parties and parties. What I mean is—parties can be rotten, lovely, and righteous. What makes them righteous is first of all, congenial souls; next safe liquids; and then good food. And La Pierre Chandler had the necessary ingredients at the Dark Tower last Monday. It was the occasion of his farewell. He sails Saturday for a six months tour of Europe.
To begin with, the La Pierre is a lovely person and consequently all his friends are charming and he had fifty odd of them at the party with Lucille Randolph as hostess. And she was at her best. As for refreshments—everything from Champagne to Gordon Water and slues of it. The card room of the Tower was completely filled by a table loaded down with chicken salad, potato salad, a huge baked ham, relishes, rolls and cakes.
* * *
Now we begin to feel it. At the piano was a lady whom I didn't know but whom I would like to know. She played and crooned right down and muchly did we "mess" and carry on. Speeches were made by the great Jules Bledsoe, Roberta Crawford, Bob Douglas, Sari Price Patton and the Dismonds. La Pierre found time between poping corks to reply and Lucille Randolph made the cutest toastmaster. By four o'clock we dragged home after dividing an enormous bouquet of red peonies among us.
Everybody wished Mr. Chandler a safe journey, a pleasant trip and a speedy return to give us another party. I can't remember the names of his guests; however, we were really not important. Eddie Manchester is his main boy; so you know the Gang was in power.

For some reason (of course I have my own private idea of that reason) the natives of the interior who embark for Europe from the port of New York spend very little if any time in Harlem on their way over and back. My private reason is that they are over anxious to get to Europe, short of funds on their return and like to maintain the poise of not liking Harlem. But such was not the case with the celebrated Roberta Dodd Crawford. She planned for a week on the Great Black Way and was gorgeously repaid for her efforts. She sailed Friday at midnight on the Majestic—a more tired and happy lady after doing Harlem.

She was the house guest of the Lemuel Fosters. Mrs. Foster is one of her girlhood friends. Although Mrs. Foster has a new babe and consequently is not going out much, that did not stop her from being her hostess at the Roxy and on a tour through Broadway. On Monday she was a guest of La Pierre Chandler at the Dark Tower. Thursday, Jules Bledsoe entertained her at the matinee of Show Boat and drove her uptown in his McFarland for dinner. That night she made her first visit to the Lafayette.
Of the profession she met Evelyn Preer, Maceo Pinckard, Cecelia Lacey, Leonard Harper, Edward Thompson, Lula Robinson Jones, Melville Charlton, Edna Lewis Thomas, Ernest Hemby, Caska Bonds, Vincent De Solo and Edward Perry.

This is a concrete refutation of the unfair and vicious rumors and tales spread by Pullman propaganda to the effect that the Brotherhood is squandering the porters' money and that those who handle the money are not bonded.

And speaking of the George Dewey Curtis, it so happened that he had a birthday Tuesday which he proceeded to celebrate in his own inimitable way. It started off with a breakfast of fried chicken and everything that goes with it which was hungrily consumed by Kenneth Duncan, Gay Howell, Frank Andrews, Ira McCowan, Puss Sanders and Lady Nicotine. On her way up, the Lady met Charlotta Grant and Addie Watson and happened to mention the fact. Then George Dewey flew downstairs and returned with the two ladies plus Wilma Mason and Helen Douglas. Then Alex and Cassandra Jackson. Hap Delany and an adorable lady with the oddest South American name, Florence Zsaguirre, who plays the piano divinely, joined us and there were toasts no end to the health of the gentleman of honor in Antique,
William Penn and Four Roges. The George Dewey is K. O. with me.

The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and most of the aisles were reserved for the guests. Professor Colwell played the well known "Wedding March" and his wife, Mrs. Colwell sang "I Love You Truly," before the bride entered and "O Promise me," while they kneeled for blessings.
The bride was attended by her sister, the Miss Margaret Welman and six bride maids gowned in exquisite flowered taffeta with moulin and large picture hats. Mr. Alexander Miller's brother was best man.

There were quite a few mistakes in spelling of a few names last week but I hope you were all able to recognize just whom I was referring to. The mistakes were due to C. P. T. on my part.

There has been a club lately organized in Brooklyn which proves to be more than interesting and I hope that it will continue to be successful.
The brief history of the Crispus Attacks Club proves to be this—it is a monument to the memory of that great Colored Patriot, Crispus Attacks. A monument to the Negro of the past, and to him in the future. Their first affair was given Decoration Day. The invitations were sent out much too late though—I am sure a great many people had planned just where they were going before. Little earlier with your invitations next time—Please.

CURTIS RUTH of YONKERS states that there are very few affairs given in the past in which the programs could be classed with that of the annual May Festival of Bethany Lutheran Church on May 29. The pastor, Rev. W. O. Hill, is to be commended for the wonderful training of the real talent that he has among his congregation. Briefly, the program commenced with a beautiful piano solo played by Miss Marion Carson. Remarks, of course, by the pastor followed a pretty vocal selection by Mrs. Amanda Flamer and Wilbur Carson. Laugh, why you would have laughed had you seen Miranda's party depicting "A Bit of Dixie Half a Century Ago." Several beautiful musical numbers followed, especially a wonderful piano solo by Miss Constance Brown of Messiah Baptist. A Spanish scene was presented remarkably well by some of the group. A coincidence it was when two old lovers met their long absent fiances, followed by a few more musical numbers. A wonderful story was told to the audience representing a dream. "Asleep at the Switch." Miss Pearl Green of New York City sang a very sweet soprano solo. Interests in the evening's entertainment kept up, for a contest followed immediately for the queen of May to be crowned as it were by Mr. Richard Jackson. In an interesting race, Miss Edith Johnson beat Miss Ethel Wilson by several hundred votes.

AT THE LAFAYETTE, this week, Gertrude Saunders holds forth with a number of former Broadway celebrities and local favorites, under the Dewey Wineglass banner. The offering is of the cut and dried variety revue order. The comedy is of a slightly different nature, more refreshing than the old stereotyped black-face low comedy. But here and there the suggestive element is slipped in to no advantage.
Miss Saunders, as is to be expected, dominates the program. The one and only Gertrude, with that marvelously beautiful form of hers, has a way all her own of captivating an audience and how. Gertie was in all her pristine glory and worked with a zest that was a treat. Billy Mitchell, of the mysterious feet, scores with his "Yum Yum" song, and his peculier mannerisms. But Professor Toby was absent, so Billy worked all the harder.
A sweet, winsome little lady, "Jackie" Young, wil dance and sing her way into your heart with a most engaging smile. So sweet, so coy, oh, so wonderful, and how she can dance, oh, boy! Ella-Louise Bennett, fascinating brown-skin soubrette vamp, who was featured in "Lovely Lady," thrills with the spirited way she works her numbers. Otis Ganasea, all smiles and roguish eyes, is good.
Of the male entertainers, Sam Paige and Jessie (Kid) Hall. aside from Billy Mitchell, appear to best advantage. Hall, working with Miss Saunders, is at his best. Freddy Robinson, formerly of "Chocolate Dandies," a Broadway production, who, with Mitchell, works under cork, does what little he has to do creditably well.
* * *
AT THE LINCOLN, this week, with "Highlights of Harlem," is Trixie Smith, of recording fame. Where the "Highlights" and "Harlem" come in, we could not see, but it is a pleasing show.
Trixie continues to delight the audiences here with her wailing, moaning and groaning blues. The chorus itself is laid around a girl's seminary. Gulfport, as the Miss Spareribs provides many a laugh. Jimmy Marshall is quite attractive as the effeminate head professor of the school. John Mason and Crackshot Hackley supply most of the comedy as two hungry men disguised as girls who break into the school as students.

The chorus is fair, with snappy steps and lively songs. George Greene is a good lead man but he overacts entirely. Rqsa Henderson and Edna Barr are good and better respectively. Miss Barr is especially attractive, in fact, she is the greatest attraction of the entire show. Jimmy Stewart, a newcomer to the Lincoln, is quite an artist in the technique of "pedes staccato."

THE ALHAMBRA casts again display their mettle of agility, and talented ability in their masterful changes from week to week. They are making a wonderful record in showing such remarkable skill, working the present week's offerings and at the same time committing their parts for the coming attractions.
Also we are mindful of the admired efficiency on the part of Mrs. Gosdorfer whose endless efforts in maintaining peace and harmony among the artists has resulted in but few changes in the present cast. Team work is brilliantly displayed in their renditions, and can be easily distinguished as their greatest asset toward success. Mable Ridley, one of the new additions continues to win favor in her highly cultured vocal numbers with self accompaniment. Sandy Burns, Apus Broks, Russell Lee, Daisy Wright, George Wilshire, Ted Blackman and Amenda Randolph continue to please effectively.
"The Girl From the West", a wild wooly western drama was well portrayed with J. Lawrence Criner, Fannia Laine, Arthur Ray, Susie Sutton, Edward Thompson and Alice Gorgas. It is very characteristic, full of red blooded, and thrilling adventure. The attendance is splendid and the Alhambra patrons seem well pleased.

oped, made musical sounds with its voice, for we find music in the throats of birds, and musical notes amid the noises of some insects. Music has developed with the very evolution of human nature and is a part of the soul-nature of the man. So innate is the desire for the musical that almost all sane and sound men, even those who cannot take a note, can at least enjoy music.
Only a limited number of men and women can make the best music, but practically one hundred per cent of the human race can enjoy it. The makers of music, therefore, are not supplying entertainment for a limited service, but for a universal demand.

THE INTERSTATET TATTLER
Trailing the Spotlight
By THEOPHILUS LEWIS
I HAVE often heard the injunction "Judge not according to appearances." It is a good maxim, and one I would like to abide by, but it has its disadvantages. All too often, in the affairs of this world, the inside facts are hard to get at. This is especially true of the theatrical world where almost everything is enveloped in clouds of hooey and hokum. When the inside facts are hidden from view the only procedure left is to form an opinion from the outside appearance. This method seldom results in unfairness. People usually display their best talents and when you form an opinion from what you see you are judging them by the best they have to offer.
The Alhambra dramatic policy, observed from an orchestra seat, appears to be pretty poor. One senses a pinchpenny policy on the part of the management and a slipshod, don't-care-ish, get-by-till-pay-day attitude on the part of the actors. The way they present a play looks like an amateur rehearsal instead of a professional performance.
I don't know what the trouble is but I will hazard the guess that what the Alhambra players need is a competent director. There is plenty of talent in the company, especially on the masculine side. What they need is someone in authority to establish the tempo and atmosphere of each play so it will give a plausible illusion of reality. At present the company appears to be unable to achieve either characterization or atmosphere and every performance assumes the hollow, unconvincing aspect of a badly done pantomine.
"South Sea Love," one of their recent offerings, is a convenient example of a good stage piece literally murdered by bad production and indifferent acting. The play should have been staged with an atmosphere of languor and mystery augmented with a steadily rising feeling of suspense. This effect could have been obtained partly by scenic devices and partly by intelligent acting. The play received the benefit of neither. As a result it was no more languorous than a trip-hammer nor mysterious than an egg sandwich, and the only feeling akin to suspense the play inspired was a somewhat irrelevant wondering what the other actors would do if they should hear Sussie Sutton's graveyard voice in the dark.
It is not always easy to tell just what is wrong with the work of a group of actors even when one can plainly see that the general effect of a performance is bad. But some of the faults of the Alhambra company are so conspicuous even a cross-eyed man could spot them. For one thing, all the members of the company, except Arthur Ray and Charles Moore, read their lines with the monotonous uniformity of children reciting lessons from the third reader. One would think somebody was standing in the wings with a stop-watch, ready to slap a fine on any actor who did not recite precisely a given number of words a minute. In actual life, of course, people talk at varying rates of speed. Some people talk fast while others talk slow; some are fluent while others must feel for words. For actors to create the proper illusion of reality they must at least simulate some of the irregularities of ordinary speech.
Another weakness of the Alhambra players is their failure to employ the expressivness of the face and body as an aid to the voice. They appear to be unaware of the fact that, essentially, acting is doing, not just talking. People go to see plays, not merely to hear them. In a properly performed play every scene is a vivid picture as well as an exchange of forceful dialogue. In order to give a convincing interpretation of his part—that is, to really get in character—the actor must put a point on every line with an appropriate gesture or expression of the face. "Suit the action of the word," says Shakespeare, meaning that while the actor recites his lines he must simultaneously tell the story with related movements of his body. His face must be as eloquent as his lips.
All this, of course, is part of the stock knowledge of every actor worthy to call himself one. I am squawking on the Alhambra players because they do not give the public the benefit of their knowledge. As I said in a previous paragraph, the company contains much good stage material. Charles Moore is a good actor, without any reservations; so is Laurence Criner. Edward Thompson, in my opinion, is the most versatile actor the race can boast of. I saw him turn in praiseworthy performances in "Rain" and the "Cat and the Canary," and his portrayal of the ne'er-dowell in "Goat Alley" was excellent. In those performances he showed that he is not a one-part actor—that he can understand the subtleties of character and express them with his art. But neither Mr. Thompson nor Mr. Criner turned in conscientious work on the recent occasions when I saw them. They were not acting, they were only reciting dialogue. The others, except Mr. Moore who is always a competent actor, do not figure to show much.

Jobless Performers
While rambling through the Times Square District (The Roarin' Forties) the terrible unemployment situation poignantly presented itself to me. Viewing these conditions, based on daily observations and contact with professionals seeking jobs, the fact is accentuated that New York is over-crowded with jobless actors and Broadway is no place to seek employment at this particular time. The city is filled with all classes of artists and vaudevillians and almost no casting at all going on. It is pitiful where in many cases they are without funds—oftimes without shelter and food. It does not look as if there will be much stirring before Fall. There seems to be no way out and hundreds will have to loaf and do the best they can. Loafing is very distasteful and disastrous.
The identical situation prevails among our performers in Harlem. Seventh Avenue is

Porgy is back with us again on Broadway, after an extended itinerary. Some have very interesting remarks to relate of happenings during their trip, especially in reference to their social activities. Two prominent members of the cast it is said are subject to bitter criticisms in that they, the self styled social mentors of the Company proved themselves poor sportsmen, possessing all the little demons of selfishness, egotism and jealousy, much to the disgust of their colleagues.
\* \* \*
In one instance Evelyn Ellis, the talented little artist, was completely ignored by the parties mentioned above when the Cast was honored with a delightful dinner in Philadelphia. It finally turned out that she was recipient of extreme honor on the part of the hostesses of the occasion, as well as others of the Company who put in their appearance, much to the surprise of the social mentors.

Freddie Johnson left his wife Heartbroken. It looked more like a funeral than a bon voyage.

SOME Rotary men to the Bronx did roam,
And did certain acts in the Bronx- ites home.
Gossip is going all over town.
And this is the dirt that is so renowned.
As I gazed into my kitchen, Lo and Behold!
There at the sink stood a warrior
Washing dishes in an apron, oh bold, isn't he prim.
Can it be George Taylor? Sure it's him.
Again my eyes wander, not very far,
And now I spy the dish-drying star.
Garbed in a smock that's a perfect fit.
Yes! . . . Dave Walker, the mighty IT.
One day Everett Stone to the Bronx did roam.
And acted as coalman in the famous B's home.
But now he's changed to dishwashing King.
He puts away dishes, pots and everything.
Renny Riley wore an apron wrapped very tight.
Renny didn't do any work, but his supervision was allright.
Black Majesty Was Great
Allow me to congratulate Mr. Theophilus Lewis for his splendid editorial in the Interstate Tattler under the caption of "Black Majesty". I contend that it is the best review of John W. Vandercook's book that has come to my attention. Almost overnight the InterState Tattler has made itself one of the best magazines from the point of view of its editorials and makeup that is published among our group. I was sorry to see the editorial page disappear, and am overjoyed that the Editor has seen fit to bring it back again, for I consider it one of the most persistent, fearless, and undefatigable champions of manhood's rights for the Negro.

Don't Extract the Ginger
To the Editor Interstate Tattler:
I have been for more than six years a Tattler reader, and I must confess that the editorials and general makeup of the book was never better. Back in the days when T. Thomas Fortune and young Alvin J. Moses collaborated in this all-important service of editorial writing, I was accustomed to send in just such letters commending their work, and that of the staff in general. May I admonish you not to extract the ginger from articles that now appear on the page formerly known as the "Monkey Column". As long as they are full of humor and wit, no one will become offended. I consider the two editorials on "Wanted, a Human President", and the review of Isaac Murphy, who was easily the greatest jockey the race has produced, that appeared in the issue of May 25th, among the best I have read in any paper, Colored or White.

Much Corrective Work Needed
I's high time that those of us who devote some of our spare time to
serious thinking, turned our attention to the physical development
side of our boys and girls. It is incumbent upon the half dozen or less
competent race chroniclers of sports to indulge in some plain talk
concerning the incorrect manner we have been doing things in the past.
We appeal to this handful of scribes whose opinion is of considerabie
worth, to take up the cudgels for ‘Corrective Work’,-—for the rest of the
field innocently, or by design have for years been injecting a subtle
poison into the youth of our race that goes: “Your present form is
good enough.”
wr haven't we as writers stressed the importance of Physical Cul-
ture.in its full entirety? Is it not a duty we owe to the heirs of
to-morrow’s bright dawning,—and should we be satisfied to always re-
main laughing stocks in the eyes of ‘Nordic America’, when construc-
tive criticism might easily adjust the fault overnight? Unless the
youth of this people who number close to 14,000,000, receive the proper
sort of athletic coaching at the very outset of their careers, there will
always remain some glaring fault that will prevent them from attaining
the uppermost rung of the ladder.
TPAke tennis for our opening premise. Dick Hudlin, Ted Thompson,
and Eyre Saitch, might aptly be called the “Three Musketeers”
of the lawn and clay courts qualified to represent our group against the
ranking players of this country and abroad.
Assuming that any of the three were identified with a Colored
Tennis Club that had membership in the American Tennis Association,
just who would they be able to defeat at this stage of their develop-
ment? As Sports Editor of the Associated Negro Press, scores of
articles come to our attention through the media of 112 papers that
this country-wide service supplies. A Western writer of our group
says in part: “Why not send Ted Thompson. the greatest tennis player
of our Race, against such as Bud Chandler, Wray Brown, Hennesey,
Lott, Coen, Doeg, Allison, Arnold Jones, Frank Hunter, et al?’
cour anything be any more unreasonable, and what poppycot and
sheer madness. We recall some years ago the Jamaican Clarke
waged a splendid battle against the brilliant Vincent Richards. But
even fellow countrymen of Clarke allowed as how temperamental
“Vinnie” appeared to be under wraps. And even if the game was on the
up and up,—it fails to alter our case one iota and exhibit ‘A’ still re
mains before this court. Looking at the situation from a sane view-
point, it would be asking a great deal of our tennis leaders if they
were called upon to qualify against the youthful Coen, Shields, Jerry
Lang, or Bowman.
wert must we do, you ask?.... How may we remedy this condi-
tion that has existed for years without number? The panacea is
simple to say the least. Apply for Club membership in the American
Tennis Association, employ capable tutors of the opposite group if,
within our borders tennis experts are not available for coaching pur-
poses:—which we seriously doubt. Get out early and late into “God's”
great open spaces and become fitted for these intensive sessions of
exercise. On municipal courts, and through the influence of powerful
friends of the Race, form contacts with outstanding players rated and
grouped by the Tennis Association. Ce-operate on this score, even
though we fail to follow the suggestion in business lanes. Remember
that the achieving of true athletic form is a world movement, as the
holding of the Olympic Games every fourth year plainly tells you.
EF corrective work is necessary among our ranking players, how much
greater is the need among the 100,000, or more of us who take up
tennis as the prince of exercisers and the royal road to health. We'll
venture to say that not one in a hundred of this vast army of beginners
has ever heard the term “FOOT FAULTS” used. Japan offers us a les-
son absolutely free of charge,—all you are asked to do is to open your
eyes and accept of it. For more than a quarter century her tennis
exponents were so mediocre that they would not have qualified in our
public courts tourneys held yearly at Central and Van Cortlandt Parks:
to say nothing of being able to make a creditable showing in Davis
Cup competition.
TR Japanese nation as a whole began taking over the task of assi-
milating lawn tennis even as she did Baseball and balkline Billiards.

ability,—but pauses in amazement over our utter lack of simple basic
principles that go to round out a true champion’s game.
gro this business of turning out potential champions who never
arrive, but to the contrary wind to the Stygian caverns of failure.
Insist that your tutor be qualified to instruct you properly as a begin-

he is a devotee of Boxing, Volley-Ball, Handball, Cricket. Fencing, Wrest-
ling, Boxing, or Tennis.
Anent My Friend George Underwood
GEORGE UNDERWOOD, one of the outstanding sport writers of the
day, farmerly with the Evening Telegram, a Scripps-Howard pub-
lication, has recently become a member of the N. Y. Telegraph staff.
It was George Underwood who first encouraged us by devoting
nearly half of his valuable column in the Telegram to an article we
sent in on Joe Jeanette. The day’s mail brought a letter from this
very human gentleman in whose veins the milk of common kindness
flows steadily.
Such letters as that of George Underwood's are the ones you turn
to so easily when displaying a scrap Bok to the quizzical gaze of the
skeptics.

James Evans Defeats
Andrew Midway
Before a large audience among
which there was a sprinkling of
ladies which added coler to the
oceasion, James Evans, world’s
Colored pocket billiard champion
and claimant for titular honors,
added the name pf James Mid-
way to his list of defeated oppo-
nents. The men engaged in a
match of 375 points the evenings
of May 28-29-30th, at the Lafayette
Billiaarm Emporium, 125 points be-
ing played each evening.
The first block was featured by
consistent scoring, the crowd of
close to 500 people, cheering
Evans and Midway all throughout
the block. The opening night's
play ended with the score 125-55
in favor of the handsome colored
exponent.
One of the features of this block
was the pocketing of a ball by
Evans when to all appearances
Midway had shot him safe. He
broke the bunch on this spec-
tacular shot, and proceeded to
pocket 36 balls for the high run
of the night.
Evans won the second block in
like fashion, and in the closing
block was never in danger of be-
ing headed, the final score being
375-218. In winning this match so
decisively Evans proved beyond
cavil that he is a fit opponent for
any billiardist in the world. He
has met and defeated all of the
world’s leading cueists with the ex-
ception of Frank Taberski and
Ralph Greenleaf, and is desirous
of meeting both of the above men-
tioned stars in match games for
any amount.

Lloyd's Two Home Runs
Help Lincoln Giants
Defeat Cubans
The great batting of their veter-
an second baseman and manager,
John Lloyd, together with the
pitching of “Pip” Wintters and
Connie “Rector, enabled the Lin-
colIn Giants to take both games
of a double header from the Cu-
ban Stars before a big crowd at
Protectory Oval Sunday, June 3.
The score of the first game was
6-3 and of the other contest the
score was 12-6.
Manager Lloyd starred in the
second game by getting two home
runs, His batting was also
responsible for three of his team’s
runs during the first game.
Oscar and Winters engaged in a
pitcher's duel in the opener with
the big southpaw having the bet-
ter of the argument. It looked as
though the Cubans would get a
whitewash until the last inning
when Winters lightened up and
allowed three runs. Until this
time the Cubans had gotten only
three hits. Solis, pinch hitter for
Oscar, got a two bagger and scored
Perez and Gragana. Oms_ scored
the other run.

be known as the World's Championship
Colored Endurance Dancing Contest,
is announced today by Jobu Lazaro, a
theatrical producer who makes his
headquarters with Roehn and Richard-
son, vaudeville managers, at 1570
Broadway.
According to Mr. Lazare, Rockland

& restaurant and resting quarters for
the use of the contestants, for accord-
ing to the rules of the contest the part-
ners are to dance in laps of one hour
and rest fifteen minutes. Doctors and
nurses will be inattendance day and
night.
In addition to being the first. colored
dancing marathon in the world, the
sponsors of the project declare that its
purpose is also to decide the question
of the physical superiority of the col-
ered race. Several prominent medical
men will be asked to keep records of
comparison throughout this endurance
dance and to volunteer their opinions
at its conclusion.
Each contestant will be given a rig-
orous physical examination before be-
ing permitted to enter the competition,

conduct the enterprise with fairmess to
both white and colored races.

on the other hand, is one that feels
that he is—and he usually is—inferlor
to his brother practitioners. The ma-
jority of the persons of this type as-
sociate but little with medical men.
Their closest friends and intimates are
outside of the profession. They seldom
can be induced to join a medical so-
cicty or to make any attempt to keep
up with the advances in the profession.
Naturally, they are jealous of the
success of their fellow practitioners
and criticize their work and cirulate
reports as to their alleged shortcom-
ings. This too may be regarded as
due to the working of a biological
compensatory mechanism which seeks
to cover up his own inferiority or par
ticular shortcomings.

to show off and be seen. He makes a
flashy showing and uses various agen-

he is a doctor. He is the type of in-
dividual, who, as a rule, lives up to
his income and delights in being point-
ed as Dr. “So and So.” He buys the
most expensive cars, quite often above
his means — changing every year or
iwo. Ie wears the most fashionable
clothes, with daily changes, He is con-
spicuous at all of the social events and

‘no in the community and is always
vointed out as “Dr. Se and So's wife’.

ND so upon us, last week, came the dignified announcements of
our own Lenore’s marriage to Dr. Walter Winfield Goens of
North Fork, West Virginia. Both have the sincerest and heartiest
congratulations and best wishes of all of their friends. Lenore is one
of our charming, lovely and adorable favorites, and when Dr. Goens
claimed her as his “wedded bride”, he was the lucky one among many
admirers. From now we meet Lenrore S. Goens, but changes may come
and changes may go, but “Lenore Scott” goes on forever. Once—twice
—thrice—Congratulations from all of us to both of you.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—George
Carr, hard-hitting first baseman and
Fats Jenkins speedboy outfielder of
the Lincoln Giants, have been
signed by the Bacharach Giants of
this city and are now sporting the
uniform of the Seasiders.
This is the first step in the gueril-
la warfare which is now prevailing
in eastern baseball. Thus does the
Eastern League put Jim Keenan on
the back as he takes his able club
and goes out into the cold, cold
world. Thus the Lincoln Giants lose
the two men who were to pack the
fans into Protectory Oval.
And this is the condition which
will obtain until the owners have
regained their reason and come to-
gether into a compact League for
mutual protection. White clubs are
refusing to meet. the stronger race
teams because they are too weak to
offer attractive opposition to the
former leaguers. The twilight
fames which used to take care of
the overhead are now becoming
vanished dreams. Each day own-
ers are finding it more difficult to
fill their schedules and baseball is
indeed on a shaky foundation.
Following a meeting of the E:st-
ern League in this city last week
the following brief bulletin was ‘s
sued:
“President Isaac H. Nutter advis-
es the press and the loyal fans
that the Eastern League will con-
tinue to operate.
“Pending the efforts of prospec-
tive new members to meet the fi-
nanic‘al conditions imposed on
them by the league there will be a
part‘al suspension of the schedule.
“All games. however. played
meanwhile between member teams
will be counted in the first-half
standing.
“Every player on every club
which has withdrawn from the
~ Page Thirteen
league is the rroperty of the league
and it will continue to sign such
men as are wanted by its mem-
bers.

"Ah, we should have a land of joy;
O) lore and joy and wine and song.
And not this land where joy is wrong."
THIS season won't quit. I have no more superlatives. I've worn to a frazzle such words as "last", "best", "prettiest' et cetera. How on earth can I tell the "estness" of any thing, when they just "keep on rolling along?"
Believe it or not, I have actually been to a dance at the Club de Luxe and was able to see who was there. And more amazing still, John Rector and Ira Davis had room to execute their fancy terpischorean stunts to their heart's contents. Right here, I'd better tell the uninitiated New Yorkers
A
THE FAMILY OF THE MAYFIELD CITY CAFE
and innocent Pennsylvanians that the Club de Luxe hasn't much floor and that John and Ira can contrive more original steps in ten minutes that any unsophisticated architect could plan for in two years. Dr. and Mrs. "Gitchie" Wethers were the guests of honor. Virginia Brown Butler, Mercedes Rector, Sara Arnold and Margaret George Gery, were hostessess.
The vernal season certainly afforded a chance for some robes d'estile. Sara's statuesque beauty was set off by dove-colored chiffon. Margaret was flower-like in blushrose flat crepe. Mercedes wore a diaphanous creation of canary chiffon while Madonna-like Virginia was in misty gray.
The guest of honor, Lillian Wilkinson Wethers, was in flat crepe of a soft mauve shade called twilight mist. Ruth Savoy had brilliant, multicolored nosegays embroidered on soft black. Bobbie Scott was stunning in black set with rhinestone sunburts and dear Bobbie Brown Lofton was the personification of a moonlit night, in billowy black, with deep rhinestone cuffs and rhinestone accessories.
We were so happy to see Dr. Arthur McKinney (Arthur Mack). This is his first appearance at a dance since illness overtook him, three years ago.
Lawrence Jackson was there, with his $10.000 bet and his usual dry, side-splitting humor.
Dr. and Mrs. Lucius Butler and Mrs. Marie Lyons motored over from Baltimore. It's getting to be quite comme il faut.

I captured Judge Cobb's professional goat. I learned what will make him do a quick get-away. I'll trade the information for a consideration.
Walter Garvin wonders why we don't describe the men's clothes. I bet they'd get mad if we did. How would this sound—"Popular Dr. X. was held upright by violet tinted President suspenders."
Dr. Wethers says he likes Washington. Not so much as we do, but anyway, we didn't shock him.
Johnny Macklyn sang. Some specialist ought to peep down that boy's throat and see what kind of musical organs he has. He must be a cross between a thrush and a nightingale.
You know, Marie Lyons was not going to be outdone by Fiddie, so she had a small crowd over to her castle on North Carey Street and had a real, live butler to serve them nectar and delectables. Washington furnished its quota, with no one turned back at the port. (And Arthur Curtis didn't walk).
The Pills and the Knives sat down to dinner with each other, at the Whitelaw. There were no casualties and no attacks of indigestion, but the staid and unstaid doctor's got one grand kick out of John Rector's Journal. Query: How much income tax does Arthur Curtis pay?

Didn't see you at the Track meet, Caladi. From a social standpoint, it looked like a football game in Springtime. The crowd really seemed to know what it was all about, as it surged from point to point, following the various events.
* * *
Lincoln won, but Howard, Holy Cross and the Scholastics made a dandy showing. That kid, Eddie Gardiner, who ran from Los Angeles to New York in the Bunion Race, gave an exhibition of sustained pace and endurance. Phil Edwards stepped out like Papyrus and William Butler was as sturdy as Man O' War.
And, sotto voce, I told Paul Jones, who happened to be near me, to please smile now and then, as the proximity of a lieutenant of police was most suspicious and too much for my equilibrium.
* * *
Dr. Billy Winters (Oliver Wilson), of Norristown, Pa., brought his speed boat down to grace the occasion. The scores of other cars bearing out of town licenses showed how cosmopolitan we are becoming. (New York take warning).
* * *
After the Meet, we danced at Ethel McKinney's to honor Mrs. Helen Wormley Anderson and Dr. and Mrs. "Juce" Jameson of Wilmington, Delaware. Dr. Jameson's interesting niece, Jackie, who is a Howard Senior, came among us.
Robbie Brown and Dr. Dorothy Boulding entertained on Friday, but Robbie says it wasn't really a party, so I can't tell you about it.
We missed you, Caladi, at Mabel Jones' classic dance recital at the Armstrong Auditorium. It was given in five beautiful scenes. 1 and 2—In a French garden. 3 and 4—Lilac time (Toe Ballet). 5.—Oriental, Egyptian and Interpretive dancing. Mabel Jones (Mrs. Windell Freeman), executed several exotic solo numbers.
It all seemed too lovely to criticise. But perhaps in that picture of meticulously perfect art, one remembers best the entrancing grace and individuality in the work of Kellene Lewis, whose foot and arm work transformed her into an animated figure from a Marie Antoinette tapestry. Alice Lewis, Kellene's sister. Julia Smith and Violet Warfield, were alluring and dazzling figures, moving about in rhytmic beauty.

And the children? No one need despair of the artistic development of youth, after seeing those babies dart about like trained butterflies, exhibiting a perfect appreciation of what they were doing. I could scarcely believe my eyes. I'm sure that the average age of those Bunnies was about five, yet they did their solo pieces like veterans. Their special num-

To sumup, the medical profession as a group contains a large number of types which in totality display the same great variety of psychic mechanisms that is observed in other walks of life. Neurotics and psychopathic of all kinds, schizoids and cycloids in their rich variety, have all a fair representation in the medical profession.

MEMORIAL DAY dawned in a glorious blaze of sunlight. Everybody who had a car, struggle buggy or horse-cart polished it up and got ready to roll. Riverwood found Dr. and Mrs. Nelson Glover, Mrs. Jesse Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Berry, Mr and Mrs. J. C. Prescott, Miss Billy Kyle, Dr. and Mrs. Walter Grant, Miss Lelia Rood and Mrs. James Banks enjoying the beauties of that popular resort.
There were so many places to go it was hard for some folks to decide just what to do. The Alpha house had a dinner dance from six to ten. A too bad matinee dance was held out at Bill Bottom's roadhouse, and of course the tennis courts were well represented by Eugen Woods,Leonard Ball. Martha Triggs, Tom Ross, Richard McGee, Lisna Dennison, Frank L. Hailstolk, Jr., Josephine Woods, Ruby Ball and Denise Denison.
The Junior Matrons had a business meeting last Friday afternoon to complete their plans for a dance to be given late in June. Mrs. Mae Howard is president of the club and Mrs. Edna Scott is secretary.
The professional women were in power Thursday afternoon at the A. B. C. club. Mr. Bell, manager of the new hospital at 45th and Michigan, gave an interesting talk. Mrs. Antoinette Garner of the Metropolitan Opera Company was the soloist for the afternoon. Miss Ethel Gavin is president of the club and Mrs. Geraldine Glover is secretary.
The former Miss June Fisher broke everybody down by her unexpected marriage to Al Irving. This romance dates back to the goode ole days when we were all storing knowledge at Englewood high. Then came a break and then came the sudden recognition that life was all the bunk without each other.
So the two 'lil love bugs got married and are now living happily at 4932 S. Parkway. Mrs. Irving is one of Chicago's prettiest and most popular girls. Her many friends join me in wishing them much happiness.
Another interesting meeting of the Flying Squadron was held at the home of Mr. Oscar De Priest. Mrs. Charlotte Monjay McClackey of Africa gave a most interesting talk. Mrs. McClackey has taught twenty-seven years in Africa. Miss Alice Smith rendered a very sweet vocal number and Miss Jesse Roberta an instrumental. A benefit cabaret party is being planned by the executive board of the N. A. A. C. P. So save your pennies and be ready when the great day comes. Mrs. Geraldine Glover presided in her usual charming manner.
Mrs. Ethel Thompson got up early last Sunday morning because she was invited out to breakfast. She was the guest of the Misses Blanche and Emma Shaw. The breakfast was so delicious that Mrs. Thompson stayed for dinner.

AUGUSTINE
And for your ap royal, we offer the former M.A.E. SMITH, who is now Mrs. Charles Morton. The Mortons invade Chicago this month. her mother, who is quite ill in Washington, D. C.
Well, all the members of Chicago's younger social set left town last Friday night in Cadillaacs, Lincoln, Studebakers, Nashes and yes, little Lizzies. Since Henry made a lady out of Lizzie, Fords are quite the vogue. Anyhow a dance was given by the Fiske club out in Gary, Indiana. Some of the folks who went were Marion Shaw, Martha Friggs, Tom Ross, Bill Spriggs, Addie McLeary, Louis Breaux and Lelia Road. Everybody had a jam up time and unanimously voted that Gary isn't half bad.
Wait just a minute and let me break down and confess about the "Owls'" dance given at the Bird Cage Tea Room, May 30th. It was

a party and how! The music was so good that a man without legs would have attempted the black bottom. As I entered the door a genial wave of joviality greeted me. Tom Ross was singing "Some of these Days" and Dick Jones was pulling off some of his particular dance steps. I can't begin to name all who were there but as my thoughts travel, I remember seeing Ellen Jackson, Chick Coleman, Ycabel Carson, Louis Breaux, Connie Young, Florence Draper, Bill Spriggs, Addie McLeary, Francis Baker, Conway Sanford, Gil Fausteni, Martha Friggs, Lelia Rood, Paul Jones (the blonde), Anne James, Jerome Weller, Frank L. Hailstalk, Jr., Marcus Mahone, Nettie Hall, Dr. Emmett Ashe, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gillispie, Wilda Kennedy, Harvey Hines, Marion Shaw, Hazel Renfro and Dr. Wm. Anthony. It was a most interesting party in many aspects. Folks are still talking. Hey! Hey! Horsefeathers!

A new bridge club has been formed and named the Wynsum bridge club. The members are a group of regular jolly girls and the first meeting proved to be a howling success. Miss Marjorie Arrington will be hostess to the club June 9th. The members are. Marjorie Arrington, Hazel Renfroe, Josephine Woods, Leona Denison, Grace Burney, Ruth Jordan, Florence Carson and Adene DeLuxe. I'll let you know more about it later.

Mrs. Hazel Thompson Davis is getting ready for another one of her wonderful exhibitions, to be given by the students of her dancing class at the Eight street Theatre, June 28th.

Clarence Cameron White gave a very interesting recital last Sunday at Kimball hall. The house was not crowded, just why I do not know. However, those present stated that the program proved very enjoyable.
Mrs. Dorothy Mercer was hostess last Saturday to the O. A. O.'s bridge club.

Mms. Ezella Mathews Carter, prominent club woman, is rapidly recuperating from a recent operation at the Dailey sanitarium.
The Nookers: A nanel name to say the least. A group of literary artistic and musical people. My! My! My! They are an interesting crowd judging from the members. Donald Hayes, E Franklin Frazier, Emma Shaw, Blanche Shaw, Marie Frazier, Judge Moore and Richmond Barthe comprise the club. A very interesting discussion arose concerning art, literature, music and all those ethereal things of life that tend to lighten the load of the dreary monotony of everyday things. Donald Hayes gave a reading as only he can. Clarence Cameron White dropped in as a guest and was cordially welcomed. Luncheon was served and though only eight were expected, fourteen folks were present. You see the Nookers are causing a pleasant sensation.
Mr. Rueben Spears parked that too bad 1928 Buick in front of the Kappa house and went in to have
a chat. When he came out, no car! Everybody is sorry about that loss, 'cause Rueben is mighty kind about giving one a lift. Hope you find it, Rueben.

The annual Walt Whitman dinner was held in the Cameo room of the Morrison hotel. Walt Whitman is America's greatest international poet. Mr. Donald Hayes gave a reading.
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Watkins motored to Patterson's farm, accompanied by Miss Ina White, on Memorial Day.
Dr. Merril Curtis of Washington, D. C., made a short business trip to Chicago last week. While in the city he was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Chas. Thompson. Next time you come (should you read our Chicago page) please bring Pearl 'cause everybody wanted to see her. The Curtis's are well known in western society circles as well as eastern.
This broadcasting station is about to sign off, but before I do let me announce that all the Elite will be present at the Savoy, June 11th. A good time is in store for everybody—so let's go.
Before the Foolights
By PLAYBOY
IT is the foolish custom of our present-day civilization to buy flowers and give praise to people after they are dead. There are a few sensible people, however, and Mr. I. Jay Faggin, proprietor of the Savoy, is one. Mr. Faggin, several weeks ago, wrote an article for his "Savoyager" magazine, lauding the praises of Mr. Bill "Bojangle" Robinson. Mr. Robinson had done a very gentlemanly act, keeping his word at a very great sacrifice to himself. He had promised to appear in Chicago at the Savoy on a certain night, this he did. In the meantime, he signed a contract with Lew Leslie to appear in "Blackbirds of 1928." Mr. Robinson would not sign this contract, although an immense salary was at stake, only on the condition that he could take two nights off to come to Chicago. This was a noble act and deserves praise. Therefore, I was certainly glad to see that Mr. Faggin was sensible enough to give it, now and not wait until our favorite star, Bill Robinson, was dead.

The Grand Theatre will not open until Labor Day week. Manager Klein is going to introduce a new policy at the theatre. He has secured a New York cast to open the house.

Max Hart's "Bandana Girls," a ladies' orchestra, will appear in Chicago within a few weeks. These ladies have been touring the country and reports say it is a hot band. Warren La Rue did his stuff when he secured the original Cotton Club Orchestra from New York for his popular Dreamland Club.

The Vendome, under the management of Roy Boomer, formerly a stage star and later "a man about the movies." is making rapid strides and threatens to resume its place as one of the pleasure seats of the South Side. Two or three feature days a week and the splendid pictures offered make the place worthy of spending a few hours nightly. The music is furnished by Clarence Jones.
It is a shame some musicians are so temperamental. Clarence Lee, the violinist at the Regal, let his temperament get the better of him, which caused him to lose his job.

Sara Martin, well-known blues singer, sure was a hit with the Regal patrons last week.

Lillian and Willie May Rudisill will leave the city this week-end for Washington, D.C., to visit their sick brother, John Rudisill.

Old Boy, its a tough break that you weren't at that Red Hot picnic the Kewpie Cousins had at Clinton Beach. It wouldn't slow down for the red lights. We groaned under the weight of those baskets hiking up that sunny road, but oh boy! when the contents were spread out, it was just too bad. And do you think the president, Mrs. D. E. Williamson, busied herself trying to make us eat up all the ice cream that had out there—and we actually tried to do it. Boys, you'd better try to make that "Kewpie" society next winter, as for me. I'm sticking. Never no miss any of their affairs. Bye-bye till next week.
