No. 25, Friday, June 22, 1928 GEBALDYN DISMOND—Managing Editor Friday, June 22, 1928 Ma HERBERT DENT was on a spree. That is, to Herbert Dent it was a spree; other men would have called it an innocent pasttime. A spree, after all, is psychological, it is a prolonged and thorough indulgence in anything that a man feels he ought not to do. For some it is drink, cards, or vice; for others it may be a game of croquet. To Herbert Dent, who had never been in a theatre in his life, it was a visit to the Hacienda Playhouse on Broadway to see a vaudeville show. He stood on the curb before the theatre with one foot pointing uptown to make it appear that he had just paused in passing by. He was a rising young pillar of the Libyan Church, which forbade its members to dance and attend theatres. If any member of that church should happen to appear Herbert could say carelessly: "I was just looking at that poster with the picture of the trained dogs. Aren't they wonderful?" But he was not really looking at the dogs. His eyes were nailed to the next poster, the picture of a young woman who was enough to make men thankful that short skirts were invented. Her skirt was about as long as a handkerchief, and she balanced herself on one foot while the other pointed straight to the skies. She was advertised as a dancer, a singer and a lightning-changer. Herbert, looking at her face, wondered why she was not called the most beautiful woman in the world. For a whole week she had filled his mind, ever since he had seen her picture in a newspaper which he had by chance opened at the theatrical page. "Maryelle Rose" her name had read, and the lilt of it had insinuated itself into his mind. He had dreamed about her and called himself a sinner, though he forgave himself because no man is responsible for what his mind does when he is asleep. But the next night there was a prayer meeting at the church, an event in which he usually gloried, and he was startled, in the middle of a rousing hymn, to find himself thinking of Maryelle Rose. This thing had to stop, he told himself. But somehow the next night found him passing by the Hacienda Palyhouse; and the night after that he argued that the way to vanquish sin was to confront it boldly. Whatever excuse he made, the last four nights had found him at the door of the Hacienda. This time he had lingered longer than ever, the grace and beauty of Maryelle Rose seeping into his mind. Some beauty will not stand a second look; Maryelle Rose's would stand a hundred and second. The more he looked at her the better she looked to him. He idly sauntered up to the ticket window, out of curiosity, mere curiosity to see how much people paid to see such sinful spectacles as young women dancing in short skirts. "What seat?" asked the ticket-seller. "People waitin' in line behind you." That brought things to a head. Her- Published Friday of every week matter February 26, 1926, at the WORLD'S SINGER PRICES MARYELLE ROSE WORLD'S GREATEST DANCER Faustina Trimbk bert felt that if he turned away he would look like a fool. A dollar came out of his pocket, a ticket appeared in his hand, and he dazedly moved into the lobby, feeling as guilty as if he had entered a barroom. No one appeared to notice his shame, for everyoen was buying tickets. In three minutes he was seated in a balcony, which he had to admit was beautiful, for all its sin. The gold and crimson of the decorations, the soft, heavy green curtain, the plaint of the tuning violins, the Wo vague perfume—all this, which accustomed eyes hardly noticed, struck through Herbert Dent like sweet arrows. Across the ceiling, far above, a group of painted angels floated in a soft sky, with long trumpets to their lips—Herbert could almost hear them blowing. Was this sacrilege, or was it beauty? He was still questioning his by the Inter-State Tattler Publishing Post Office in New York, N. Y., under soul when the lights went down, the angels faded into dim shapes, and with a shriek of violins and a crash of drums the show was on. A couple came out dancing and singing. Soon they settled down to jokes, at which the audience roared. Herbert was not well posted in street slang, so most of the humor went over his head. The numbers followed, one after another. Trained dogs caught balls and jumped over sticks; a man made up his face to impersonate famous historical characters; acrobats RLD'S SINGER PRICES MA WORLD'S GREATE twisted themselves into grotesque positions; a man masqueraded as a woman; black-facers did clog-dancing and Negro dialect. Herbert in his innocence was missing half the fun and getting tired of the show when all of a sudden the stage card flashed forth "Maryelle Rose". Herbert jerked forward in his seat. Bing Co., Inc., 2296 Seventh Avenue, N. for the act of March 8, 1878. Subscription GERALDYN DISMOND—Managing Editor Though even yet he wouldn't admit it, this was what he was waiting for. So was the audience, to judge from the applause. They clapped their hands so vigorously that one of the black-face comedians stuck his head out of the wings, mistaking it for an encore. Then a figure shot from the wings like an arrow and stood in the center, spinning like a top. No one could see what she looked like; she spun round and round, faster than Herbert had ever thought a human being could turn. Her brown hair was wrapped around RYELLE ROSE EST DANCER Faustina Trimbke her face with the giddy motion; then there was a flying glimpse of her face as she reversed and began to spin in the other direction. Then, just as suddenly; she was still. Rigid and motionless as a statue, she stood facing the audience on tiptoe, so still and stiff that she looked like something carved and planted on the stage.. Then she New York, N. Y. Phone: Edgecombeption rate $3.50 per year. Vol. IV. gradually descended, folded her arms and relaxed into a full roundness and symmetry of figure; from a statue she became a warm, breathing woman. The blood seemed to flow back into her limbs. She was so beautiful that even in her skirtless state she did not seem vulgar or sinful to Herbert. Her brow was broad, as if it had a mind beneath it, her eyes flashed far into the dark balconies, her long brown hair fell over her shoulders like a hood. Then she was off again, leaping, turning, bounding, all with such grace that at times she seemed to be lying on a bed of air; she moved with such lack of effort that it looked as if some invisible force were pushing and throwing her. Herbert gathered from the talk of people in nearby seats that she was doing a classical fawn dance, whatever that was. The classical mood soon passed and she went into amazing steps and contortions, dives, cartwheels, and somersaults, till Herbert was almost dizzy; she seemed like two people instead of one. When she whirled off the stage, spinning like a top without even looking where she was going, the theatre shook with applause. Herbert wished she would respond to the encore but he was disappointed. Almost immediately a young woman fully dressed, with a blue skirt reaching her ankles and a parasol hiding her face, came demurely upon the stage. Suddenly the parasol collapsed and fell to her side. Herbert was dumb-founded when he saw her face; she was Maryelle Rose. A dozen questions crashed into his mind. How could she change so quickly? How could she look so different? How could — but then the questions were forgotten, for she began to sing. She sang "Kiss Me Again", that song of stars and love under the soft winds of a summer night. Herb had often heard it, but she made him feel as if he had never heard it before. Her voice, breathed softly through the theatre, yet filling it to the farthest corner, reached the bottom of his soul. It was more than a voice; it was personality and spirit. When at the last line she threw out her arms in abandon and pleaded "Kiss me, kiss me, again!" Herbert leaned forward, his hands grasping something, he knew not what. Suddenly a harsh voice rasped at him. "Hey, whatcha think I am?" "Oh!" gasped Herbert. "Excuse me; I—I didn't know." He had seized a man's shoulder. By the time he had finished stammering his apology Maryelle Rose was gone. Immediately they called her back again. She came, with hands clasped on her bosom and eyes that seemed to gaze far, far beyond the audience. She sang, or rather breathed, "Deep River", and the breath of the people rose and fell with her own as she uttered that heart-cry of a whole race. Then she vanished and did not return for the encore. Herbert stumbled out of the theatre. After seeing and hearing Maryelle Rose anything else would be flat and stale. Once outside, he felt a great surge within him, his soul was drenched with beauty, and the noises of the street seemed a desecration. For the first time in his life he decided to (Continued on page 14) Social Snapshots Geraldyn Dismond AN unerring sign of Summer is the increased attendance on the Campus. For several years the sidewalk in front of the Chelsea Bank at 135th Street and Seventh Avenue has been the open air school for the college gang. It has been said that the Younger Set would petition the Mayor to have a telephone booth placed there to save time and reduce heartaches. When you would know what the well dressed man will wear—walk by the Campus. Last year, bare heads were the vogue; this season, nothing but a derby is swank. The topics of conversation revolve around broads and the leather business—two professions heavily patronized by the members.. A sharp eye and sharper ear will reward you with untold valuable information. For example Bill White, the Clarence Cameron Whit heir, won a $360 prize from Columbia Law School for a paper on Real Property. He has just returned from a visit to Charleston, West Virginia and Chicago and will sail August 3rd for six weeks in Haiti and Havana. Sol Johnson, Jr., who attends Bates, was made an Alpha Phi Alpha at Boston this spring. West Virginia Institute has two representatives—Hale Henderson and Evans. Clark Carson, the brother of the beautiful Carol Carson, was a distinguished visitor last week. With him was Bill Smith of Fisk. Glug-glug Hester and Wilbur Strickland of Philly are big leather men from Grip. Ethel McNeil is now Dr. Howard McNeil. Ada Walls is a B. S. from the University of Pennsylvania. Enrique Cachemaille and Olivette Miller, daughter of the famous F. E. Miller, have returned from the East Greenwich Academy. Young Cachemaille has had the honor of being one of two boys to receive three block letters and three certificates in recognition of his basketball, football, baseball (he is playing manager of the baseball team), scholarship and conduct. Toby Elder who is Dean of the College Department in Durham held down the stump for a hot minute prior to his sailing for Europe last Friday. Shag Hogan can be seen each evening after his labors at 33rd Street. The home guards, William Puss Sanders and George Dewey Curtis turn out occasionally. Adam Powell parades his six feet to the tune of fluttering feminine hearts. The ooore Valentine on Newark, newly made Lincoln Alumnus has registered. George Woods celebrated his birthday with a hundred dollar bill. Roi Ottley couldn't desert St. Boniventure quick enough to enter the leather industry and his brother, Jim, was caught inside the Chelsea Bank. In short the Campus is in power and he who would know the inner workings of the future intelligentsia must walk by slowly. Be sure you are in form. Fame and fortune may await you. And on the other hand, horses are not the only animals who carry tales, and a faux pae on the Campus may mean the ending of a promising career. The Dance Derby at the Manhattan has almost given me high blood pressure. I am so excited. The opening was a wow, with the Great Jules Bledsoe firing the pistol. Immediately the Jolly Fellows entrants began the Lindbergh Hop, Carl Van Vechten and Bojangles Robinson gave them a couple of hours to last, but they were still going strong at this writing. I'm putting my money on Malachi Melia who walked here from Union. * * * Among the celebs in the audience were Lester Walton, N. Y. World; Floyd Snelson, Walter White, Donald Angus, Alvin White, Willie Walker, Ethel Carr, Carl Van Vechten, Nettie Deming, The Gilbert Hollands, Jack Trotter Dan Blackett, The Cyril Reeds, Dr. Charles Harris, Amanda Zegri and the Marshall Rosses. *** The more I see of that contest the more I hate myself for not having entered. They are having the best time and being beautifully cared for by Esther Archer. She has two cooks, two waiters, and had Dr. Dismond scientifically work out several menus with oodles of tomatoes, celery, roast beef, spinach, fruit, orange juice, coffee and chocolate to keep them full of wim, wigor and vitality. Each contestant has his own trainer and assistant. There are three doctors, three nurses, Dr. Edgar Perkinson, to look after the dancing feet and the lovely Cxarina George and a corps of Apex Beauty operators to keep them dolled up. Gosh, I love it! --- So few surprises are surprises, but Les Douze worked an honest to goodness one last Wednesday night at the Dark Tower in honor of their president, Miss Marian J. Pettiford, who sailed Friday on the S. S. Resolute for a six week's tour of England and France. *** It fell to the lot of Ethel A. Gardner to pull the wool over Miss Marian's eyes. She invited her to go to the theatre and later suggested that they drop by the Tower, where Irene Alexander, a member of the Les Douze, is hostess, and tell her good bye. When they arrived they found the other members in their best spring frocks of flowered chiffon, tables laid forodge and the vice-president, Ann Carlis at the door to receive them. After that they enjoyed fresh lobster salad, boiled finger rolls and punch. At Mr. Carlis plate was a package of Bon Voyage cards which she will not open until one day out. * * * Miss Pettiford has the distinction of being the supervisor of the Harlem Branch of the Henry Street Nurses. is an honorary member of the Girl Scouts and will be in Paris during the World Conference of Social Workers. \* \* \* The same evening in the larger card room of the Tower, the petite Sybil Bryant Poston, journalist, entertained her two bridge clubs, the Ayoka and Minx, and twenty-three guests. With the Ayoka were Sara Rawlins, winner of the first prize, Azala Hogan, who carried off second prize, Hilda Weilson, third prize winner, Edith Cook, Odessa Donnelly, Berniece Wolff Green, Lila Gillis and Josephine Stanley. * * * The Minx included Lady Jane Best who captured the first prize. Ruth Brown Price who had the second highest score. Annie Newsome, third prize winner. Rejane Beech, Thelma E. Berlack. Flora Elmore, Philitus Joyce, Adele Kenerly, Iolanthe E. Sydney and Julia Dixon. Christine Anderson, Estelle Anderson. Donis Bryant, Clara Burrell. Clara Bruce. Dr. Ardelle Dabney. Edith Delph, Osie Gardeen. Ruth Handy. Sadie Holley, Olive Johnson. Anna Welmon Miller, Alice Nearon, Sari Price Patton, Agens Pinado, Ollie Porter. Gertrude Robinson, Laura Rollock, Jessie Turnquest, Margaret Welmon and the prize winners, Dr. Mary Jane Watkins. Louise Jackson Johnson and Mertha Sawyer were the guests of the evening. 车 车 车 Mrs. Poston served a delicious crab salad, relishes, finger rolls and Barvarian cream and by her charming manner, won a new star for her social crown. * * * Mrs. Gretchen Thornton and Miss Varolyn Dublin gave a surprise miscellaneous shower the same evening at the residence of Mrs. Thornton for Miss Helen Bosley who will be married on Thursday the twenty-eighth at seventhirty in the evening to Mr. Edwin Alexander Tempro at Salem M. E. Church. Over fifty persons were present and the bride to be received many lovely gifts in silver, glass and linen, among which was a bath towel thirtythree years old. from Mme. Fanny Bell De Knight. An impromptu program under the direction of Mme. De Knight added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening. THE DANCE And here we have AURELIA HALLBACH and her partner from Chicago, BERNARD PAUL, who won the $10 gold prize for the neatest dressed contestant at the Manhattan Sunday night, and EDNA PEYNADO and JOHN T. BELL, Jr., winner of the Baltimore Endurance Dancing Contest. Prior to the shower, the bridesmaids, Selma Day, Dorothy Parham, Carolyn Dublin, Elsie Osborn, and Roberta Bosley had had a meeting to discuss final details for the wedding dresses and ceremony. Four year old Octavia Pennington, "tom-boy Tivia" a relative of the Bosley family, will be dressed as a boy and act as ring bearer in the wedding. The Spiritual Boys ranging in age from 9 to 13 will sing "Oh Promise Me". They are being trained for the occasion by Miss Consuela Pappy and Miss Robert Bosley. Albert Thornton, age nine, will sing "At Dawning". * * * Wednesday is about to outbid Friday for popularity. The third party of the evening was an intimate and ritzy affair at the new apartment of Clinton Moore. The honors were shared by Dr. George C. Branch and Dr. John B. Garrett, both of whom are located at the U. S. Veteran's Hospital And here we have AURELIA HA Chicago, BERNARD PAUL, who the neatest dressed contestant at the EDNA PEYNADO and JOHN Baltimore Endurance at Tuskegee and are enroute to Boston to attend their class reunion at Boston University. Caska Bonds and Clinton Moore were hosts with Lucille Randolph as first lady. The combination spells a bang up party. You were greeted with a cocktail and supplied with the same concoction all evening. And on the buffet was an endless supply of sandwiches and relishes. But that is only the half of it, dearie. * * * To appreciate the best part, you should know the Clinton apartment. In one room is a baby grand piano, a deep couch and a marvelous corner which is decorated by an end table with a gorgeous Chinese scarf and a Ming bowl of cut flowers with a Chinese tapestry hung above. The adjoining room has another couch, large winged chairs, oodles of floor cushions and an orthophonic Victrola. Soft lights prevailed. To the party came Eubie Blake, Broadway Jones, Cecilia Lacey and George McClain and another chap from Blackbirds who claimed he was a dancer but sang "I Must Have That Man" to perfection. And now you have it all. Soft music, low lights. Result—a mellow mood. There were Arthur Carter, Bob Simms, Samuel Minor, Lloyd A. Edna Thomas, Dr. Carter Marshall, Sari Patton, Mr. Herbert, Eddie Swain, M. Martinique, Emory Bonner, Dr. Charlie Harris, Bob Douglas, Harold Jackman, Bessye Bearden, Vincent De Sola, Wilda Gunn, Helen Cooper, Dr. J. H. N. Jones, Edward Perry, Georgia Washington, Helene Grant, Hattle Moore, Countee Cullen, Wallace Thurman, Richard Bruce, and Jack Minor and A. Lewis of Union who were also Boston bound. *** Some interesting discoveries were made during the evening. For example, Countee Cullen has a "vigorous bump", Helen Grant isn't particular about changing partners; there is one person that rubs Edward Perry the wrong way; Richard Bruce has fallen for socks; Bessye Bearden arrives at parties later than I do; Lucille Randolph can actually get order by asking for it; and Vincent De Sola has a ALLBACH and her partner from who won the $10 gold prize for the Manhattan Sunday night, and T. BELL, Jr., winner of the Dancing Contest. handsome friend whom nobody took the trouble to introduce to me. *** Dr. Branch and Dr. Garrett will visit Washington, Philadelphia, and Richmond before returning to Tuskegee. While in New York, they were the house guests of Mrs. Hunter Garret. * * Mabel Doyle Keaton, R.

With the exception of Lady Nicotine who arrived on the Jimmy Walker schedule, only members were present. * * * Some people have all the luck. Not being satisfied with falling heir to the Press Hotel, the popular Dan Burrows succeeded in captivating the lovely Elaine Nelthrope, a recent graduate of New York High School, and marrying her Saturday at high noon at St. Mark's Church. Father Plunkett officiated. After the wedding breakfast to which was invited Walter Jackson, Ira Reid, Elma Nelthrope, Sara Jenkins, William Smith, Mack Bennett and E.

Messrs. McClean and Watson, two enterprising young business men who operate the Spar Restaurant at the Northeast corner of Lenox Avenue and 133rd Street have distinguished themselves as the originators of the first and only food emporium where one can secure a meal at a low cost. They are in the heart of the busy section of Harlem and have popularized their establishment with this novel idea of giving the customer the benefit of quick sales and small prices. These ambitious youngsters have seen the need, or dire necessity, probably I should say, of Spar Res McCLEAN & W 133rd St. & Lenox Ave. ASTOUNDING PRICE CONVINCING SERIES ALL DINEN Chicken Soup ...

This club, which is composed of some well known young men in Harlem, is planning to give their third annual dance in the near future. Officers and members of this group are: Dr. W. Marion Cooper, president: Eugent Burgess, vice president, James A. Hardy, secretary, Charles I. Peters, treasurer; James L. Sims, chaplain. Dr. R. A. Lewis. McClain, L.

The Harlequins, Sadie Merrick president; Erie Cousar, treasurer; Gwendolyn Mitchener, secretary; finding somehow, food for the hungry Harlemites whose pocketbooks will not permit of large expenditure. It is almost unbelievable the number of savory and delicious things that they serve for twenty-five cents. One is almost inveigled into believing that pre-war days have backward rolled. There is turkey, duck, and most "everything" that one likes to eat. You don't have to take our word for it. Just go around and see! They advertise in the Tattler and we are sorry to state that last week's ad contained the wrong address. It is at the corner of 133rd Street and Lenox Avenue, and not at the 135th Street corner. These gentlemen invite you to take advantage of their clean food efficient service and low prices. A trial will easily convince you. Note in the advertisement appearing below one of the daily menus giving one an idea of the delicious homecooking and appetizing dishes afforded at the Spar Restaurant. Clara Jackson, Lydia Williams, Allie Rock, Leonthia Wright, Juanita Ford, Ann Tyler, Danny Morgan and Ida Penall, made their debut Friday at the Trade of Commerce. Soft lights, pretty decoration, charming girls, good punch and 'Nappy' and his Napoleons added to the pep, pep of the evening and the Harlequins proved that they have mastered the art of pitching a party. Among the clubs represented were the Y. M. D., Audubon and Question. The Jolly Fellows, Club 71. Elk's dancing class of Newark and Hoopers were well represented in the Dance Derby at the Manhattan. * * * The Morehouse College Club of New York presented the Krigwa Players in "Aftermath", a play of Negro Life and Collegians in music numbers at the Little Negro Art Theatre last Friday evening at 8:30 o'clock.

Refreshments were served and a very inspiring speech delivered by Mr. Henry. Since the expulsion of Richard Pearl, David Spratley and other members.

Mitchell, Sr., Exalted Ruler, put over an excellent midnight show for the Marching Club Fund SAVOY-TOPICS LEONARD, THE HARPER, whom we love to harp on, is giving us some swell vaudeville programs these days. That is, Thursdays and Saturdays evenings. THAT PROGRAM of last Saturday was a classy riot. Little Harriet Calloway, the winsome petite queen of song and dance, was triumphantly glorious. * * * MY HOW THIS little bronze beauty can toss her pretty feet and legs. Say, but she's a treat for the eyes, in action. * * * WE WILL HAVE to modify that statement above. She's a treat for the masculine eyes at any and all times. Slim, trim, spirited, vivacious little child of song and dance. GIRLS LIKE HER cause the bards to unfold musical stories of love. Girls like her make men brave, daring and gallant. ONE ENRAPTURED youth met Miss Calloway as she was coming off the floor. Quickly dropping to his knees. he cried: "Oh, adorable one, be mine and I'll wrap H-ll up in a snowball for you." And Harriet only smiled, as the ushers brushed the impetuous youth aside. \* \* \* EVEN THE MUSICIANS fell under the spell of the fascinating child. They, of all men, are supposed to be immune to feminine charms. But the Harriet is irresistable; they all fall. LEONARD HARPER HAS promised that Savoyites shall be entertained by Miss Calloway quite frequently. That's sure good news. Most of us boys will never be able to see enough of the Harriet, even if she showed every nite. HOWEVER, THE SAVOY way is the Harper's slogan. That is, "Give the people what they want when they want it." Which is in accordance with Abe Lincoln's "You can fool some of the people" and etc. * * * THE SAVOY DOES not believe in a policy of deception. We give you exactly what we advertise and often more than we promise in our advertising. THERE IS NO BETTER place in the city to take your sweetheart, wife, mother, sister or any young lady friend, than the Savcy. Here you'll find that friendly, homelike atmosphere plus exceptional musical entertainment and ideal surroundings. \* \* \* NO WONDER THEY call the Savoy the world's finest ballroom There's not another like it.

NOW PLAYING (UP TO SUNDAY, JUNE 24) "Bilo"—Bob Williams—Bob Williams in "Chocolate Scandals" with Doc Hyder's Famous Band FEATURE PHOTOPLAY: "THE NOOSE" with Richard Barthelmess NEXT WEEK (BEGINNING MONDAY, JUNE 25) ETHEL WATERS IN THE NEW 1928 EDITION OF AFRICANA Harlem THE LAFAYETTE theatre has Doc Straine, Sam Russell, Helen Stokes and Bob Williams, red-hot from California and Philadelphia, this week, in "Chocolate Scandles." The offering is flashy, full of action and comedy, but poorly arranged. Sam Russell is the whole cheese. Bilo, as he is known to the theatre patrons and the profession, is a show in himself. His mannerisms are highly amusing and when he opens his mouth, just prepare to laugh. Sam and Dock work in the old bed-room situation. As a matter of fact, there are two bed-room situations. This makes the third or fourth week for the bed-room feature at the Lafayette. Evidently Sam and Doc figured that if one bed-room situation proved popular, two should prove twice as popular. Doc Strains, Ukeleele Bob Williams, Helen Stokes, Jimmy Thomas, George Cooper and that quartet, the Sunset Four, register high. They're the goods and all wool. And Danny Winstead and Gene Taylor stage a drunk pantomine that's the candy. Dorothy Young, spectacular elongated young lady with chorus, scores with a number of dance steps of the Bill Robinson variety. In fact, we learned that the illustrious "Bojangles" Robinson taught them the steps. Then there's Grant and Wilson, Wilson at the piano in "Blues" and comedy numbers. Mike and Bennie, the latter at the piano, in some more songs of a ballad nature. Dot Belle, a soubrette, who possesses a pleasing little voice and pretty legs, which she does not use so well. * * * THE ALHAMBRA show is above par this week. It starts with a Mayoralty Campaign with Ashes (Sandy Burns) and Russell Lee as rival candidates. Lee is the winner. Then both candidates and the amicable Amanda Randolph harmonize at the piano and display her numerous talents. Margaret Burns—a newcomer—leads the celebrated Alhambra girls in two numbers which are well received. The dramatic sketch—a tale of perjury and broken lives—has Laurence Criner up to his usual villiany, assisted by Sussie Sutton, with Alice Gorgas giving a surprisingly good characterization of an Irish servant, and Arthur Ray equally good THE FAMILY OF THE WESTERN WEST WILLIAM WAITHE of 'Show Boat' Co. now playing at the Ziegfeld Theatre, spends his spare time between the scenes modelling the principal actors in clay. From these he makes miniatures in the form of dolls which are dressed in costumes, the exact duplicates of the originals. Those who have seen the dolls declare them perfect likenesses, and it is probable that they will be placed on exhibition as soon as a suitable place is available. Mr. Waithe came to New York ten years ago from Panama Central America, and is a graduate of the Instituto Nacional of that city. as a French butler and the queen of the Alhambra chorus, Edna Young, as the sweetest little girl in the world. Tannia Laine plays the wife and Al Wats the policeman. Then the revue again, with Ted Blackman and Russell Lee as bribe-taking cops and Mandy as the "Alley" reformer. Ashes makes bad liquor—Apus runs a dice game, Daisy Wright a queer house. They all make merry, including the audience, until finally raided by "Sergeant" George Wiltshire. WILLIAM WAITHE of 'Showtime Ziegfeld Theatre, spends his spare time the principal actors in clay, in the form of dolls which are dressed of the originals.

It's old, old, very old stuff that has been presented at this house any number of times. There's very little to enthuse over. The work of the entire cast is below the LINCOLN standard. COLORED THEATRE YETTE at 132nd ST. Lew Leslie Cites Difference Between Colored and White Revues Lew Leslie Cites Difference Between Colored and White Revues ASSEMBLING a cast for a colored revue destined for Broadway playgoers is fraught with greater problems than the casting of a white show for the Times Square sector." So declared Lew Leslie whose "Blackbirds of 1928" is now playing at the Liberty Theatre. "Colored revues," said Lew Leslie, "are in themselves novelties and therefore expert judgment must be used in the casting. Not only must the book, lyrics and music be different, but their very rendition must be original. Therefore, the actors used must be the best exponents in their particular field of endeavor. "Unlike the usual Broadway extravaganza where names well known to Broadway can be thrown into the breach, the producer of colored shows. Boat' Co. now playing at the rare time between the scenes model- From these he makes miniatures pressed in costumes, the exact dupli- who have seen the dolls declare probable that they will be placed alone place is available. Mr. Waithe from Panama Central America, instituto Nacional of that city. because names, except in rare instances, carry little weight with Broadway audiences, is forced to resort to fine combing the field in an effort to get the best talent available. And not only that, he has to sign up actors and actresses who have not been seen too much around Harlem and the vaudeville circuits or he will lose considerable of the colored patronage who know their stars only too well. This is no easy task and often a producer has to spend months preparing talented Negro actors for the Broadway debut. "But aside from the casting, scenic investiture is equally an engrossing problem. A Ziegfeld or a George White can throw a hevy of beautiful girls into a gorgeous scene and whether the material is right or not, it will be accepted. This cannot be done with a colored show. If the scenery is too gaudy, playgoers feel we are imitating the white revues.

BERTHA DES VERNEY STUDIO PIANO AND VOCAL 911 West 128th St., New York Edgecombe 7586 THE INTERSTATE TATTLER Trailing the Spotlight By THEOPHILUS LEWIS This column will eschew discussing the theater this week in favor of a more interesting subject. Since the Harlem theatre is the usual topic of these lectures I won't contradict anybody who cares to assert that I could not possibly select a less interesting subject. Nor do I mean to imply that Mr. John Lazaro's dancing derby, the theme of my present sermon, is interesting only in comparison with such a picayune as the Harlem theatre. This dancing derby, I assure you, is interesting, amusing and provocative of thought on its merits. I dare say Mr. Edgar Grey, for one, will find it no less interesting and significant than the recent Republican National Convention. Mr. Grey, I hardly need to inform anybody, is one of the few men in Harlem whose head means something to somebody besides barbers and the men who sell gentlemen's hats. It is one of Mr. Grey's pet theories that the Negro has a more sensitive and delicately wrought nervous organization than the Caucasian. It follows, according to Mr. Grey's theory, that while the black man can surpass the white man in feats of speed and exertion the latter is superior in resisting strain. if this theory is sound, Mr. Lazaro's dancing marathon, which is an endurance contest, is likely to be very brief and wind up very salty. Not that a speedy collapse of the marathon will prove Mr. Grey's contention. Nor will a long drawn out affair demolish it. The result either way will be a point in his favor or against him. We shall see what we shall see. At any rate the derby got under weigh auspiciously enough for everybody but Mr. Lazaro. I suspect the paid admissions on the opening night were far too few for Mr. Lazaro's satisfaction. But for those of us who have no money at stake the event was quite successful. First, because Mr. Eugene Gordon, the brown sugar boy of Boston, delivered the opening invocation or sermon or said grace or did whatever they do to start dancing derbies off. I was not present at the time, being detained by a drinking engagement elsewhere, but I know Mr. Gordon startd things off and it 'goes without saying that he started them off right. Mr. Gordon's faultless tux and faultless English. Boston style, are always sufficient for occasions of this sort. Second, because Dr. Binga Dismond, continental moustache and all, sat outside his sheik's tent in his most debonair manner. He assured me he was ready to retire inside at a moments notice in the event that any of the fair contestants should require medical aid. He further asserted that should one of the more personable contestants fall out he would not only retire to the interior of his tent but also pull the flaps down. When it was suggested that such a consecrated act might provoke his devoted but misunderstanding frau to pull the tent down he blandly replied, "Duty is duty." There was a resigned and far away look in his eyes. Couple number 37 was dancing at the far end of the Casino at the time. The doctor was not looking at the masculine half. Third, because Miss Bobby Branch's bourgoise legs were displayed to their very best advantage. Which means they were crossed and—Well, any number of men have asked me if Miss Branch is good looking above the plimsoll line. My answer has been, and is, I don't know. Perhaps I shall never know, for unless long skirts come in again I will never be able to raise my eyes that high. But I do know the masculine part of the audience showed a decided preference for th seat opposit Miss Branch's station. I didn't har a single complaint that the price of admission was too high. Fourth, fifth, sixth and on—Because couple number 7, which I am told is the Jolly Fellow's entry, pepped up the proceedings with occasional spurts of fancy dancing. Because two fat white women, probably members of the house staff, diverted themselves and the nearby part of the audience with an unofficial endurance contest of their own which endured five whole minutes. Because the official choice of couple number 18 as the neatest was, like most majority decisions, all wrong. Because couple number 10 was very literary, which fact evinced by reading the Sunday News comic supplement. Because a demoniacal instrument called the Daliphone, which made noise when John C. Smith's orchestra was not making music, made one suspect that it will wear out the nerves of the dancers a long time before the hoofing begins to tell on them. Because of various other interesting and amusing happenings, pardon the chiche, too numerous to mention. Last, because regardless of whether Mr. Lazare makes his point or craps out, the hat check grafters are raking in their usual handsome dividend. But the next time I go to the Casino, if there is any next time, I'm going to fool them. I live right around the corner and I'm going to leave my hat home. P. S. At noon Monday, fourteen hours after the start, one couple had dropped out. The rest were still going strong, number 7 still cutting up sprightly. Instead of number 10 it was number 19 who was carrying on the literary tradition. The female member of the team was reading the Daily News, with special interest, a brief chat with her revealed in the reports of the o'fay dancing marathon down in Madison Square Garden. Couple number 1, champs from Pittsburgh, with a record of 147 hours, appeared to be no stronger than the others. The gent of the team was stamping his dogs to keep them from going to sleep.

It has often been said and found true that the beauty in the art of giving is derived by the donor. The many joys and pleasures are far greater than the recipient. No other branch of society can boast of greater beneficence than members of the theatrical profession. The actor and the actress have always stood ready to assist, not only with giving their services free of charge but they have responded readily on every occasion most willingly with their money. They have answered the call for help in times of war, disaster, floods, fire and pestilence.

The Encore tells us at the London Coliseum the "hit" of the bill is the Four Harmony Kings, the famous colored singers scoring heavily with their delightful act, which is as artistic as it is pleasing. Also Johnny Huggins, the world's greatest pantoministic dancer, has left for Berlin, Germany to open at the Ufa Palast-Am-Zoo, one of the largest playhouses on the continent. They opened June 15 in an all colored revue with Sam Wooding's orchestra, Greenlee and Drayton, and Edith Wilson. Johnny will also be doubling at the Barberina Night Club in Berlin. Irving C. Miller's "Broadway Rastus" is scoring a big week at the new Williard, Chicago, Ill. Clarence Robinson is busily engaged rehearsing his Company, and plans to sail in another week for Germany. Johnson's Column It takes intuition and practice as well as genius to make good music, and it takes cultivation and culture to enjoy it. And it takes leisure for practice and leisure for cultivation. How did the human race arrive at A. B. the cultivation of a universal taste for the musical? Like the bird race, perhaps; for the sweet song bird, which sings apparently without practice, inherits his musical talents from his billion-billion ancestors who practiced before him. In the case of the bird it is a racial-evolutional product. Like the bird, man inherits a talent and instinct for song and other vocal musical tones, but he could not inherit the science and art of instrumentation.

WalkerLaw Fizzles-Gans Ushered Horton Out--Collegians and Buffaloes Debacle MAYOR JIMMY WALKER'S boxing vehicle which was supposed to revolutionize prize fighting and render every boxer an equal opportunity under the law regardless of color or creed, has fizzled right out. Loquacious Jimmy, the best little orator since Bourke Cochrane, introduced the bill legalizing boxing in this state the fall of 1920. At that time we were the manager of Cyril Quinton, better known as 'Panama. Joe Gans', the best body puncher the middleweight division has known since the passing of Lester Darcy, the unfortunate Australian. Gans was a contender for Jack Britton's welterweight crown, and the members of the white press devoted reams at our behest to the classy Barbadian's challenge. Scaling but 142 pounds, Gans went about the country fighting such giants as Cleve Hawkins, Wild Burt Kenny, Larry Christian, Eddie Trembley, Jamaica Kid, Jeff Smith, and other high class fighting men who outweighed him from ten to fifteen pounds at the outside. Despairing of getting the Britton match because of dirty politics, this correspondent was forced to turn Gans over to a red headed gangster named Johnson (not the Boy Bandit) who out of respectability's sake posed as a merchant tailor; and he in turn delivered the clever colored youth to Leo Flynn. Briefly, Gans was matched by Tex Rickard with George Robinson, a colored fighter from Cambridge, Mass., in a contest billed as for the Colored Middleweight Championship and a belt purporting to cost $2,500 was put up by the discriminating Texan. Gans won the title at 144 pounds. "BALTIMORE" JOE RANG OUT BILL THE fish boy from Baltimore who will live in fistiana's sacred annals until time is no more, figured in a bout that ushered out a boxing law, while we are on the subject. More than 24 years ago Dal Hawkins and Joe Gans had their memorable joust that sounded the death knell of the 'Horton Law', to be exact, it was August 31, 1900. and the scene of the battle was the Old Broadway A. C., near Houston Street. Going into the third round of that epic struggle, Hawkins had Gans in a bad way. Gans was, reeling around the ring like a drunken man, and to the crowd it appeared as if left hook WE WANT A SOLEMN PROMISE FOLKS are still discussing that eventful evening when the Collegians played St. Christopher and the Buffalos appeared against an out of town opponent on a twin bill. Letters have poured in constantly with the request to this writer that he say something about the affair that might have caused the life of Al Eldridge, rated the best center in New York scholastic circles. Back in 1913 when we were quite a kid attending De Witt Clinton High school, Ardanze Dash, now a prominent dentist, was our school and club hero. With Tischinsky he played for the 59th street institution of learning, and though white—"Tisch" played with Dash on the famous Alpha big Five quintet. We tell this story because Dr. Dash suffered a similar accident to Eldridge's—with the exception that he was given something like a man's fight when the contrast is drawn with ```markdown ``` but dumb Dan Morgans, the talkative manager of Jack Britton, was never forced to put his man in there with the fighter who figured to beat him just as sure as brussel sprouts differ from terrapin. EVERYBODY knows that Jimmy Walker is the mayor of the town and not the matchmaker—and they also know that the Walker Bill which caused him to become the most talked of figure in the boxing world and was patterned after by twenty-three other states in the union, is his own handiwork. We will never forget George P. Moore's appeal to Mayor Walker and Governor Smith on behalf of Danny Edwards when this peer of colored fistic impressario's first exhibited him in the east. But nothing was done about it after the first flitful flurry of the old 'ballyhoo' had worn itself out. Edwards went back to the coast after he had waited in vain and suffered a serious form reversal—completely disillusioned in his own words. The pathetic case of "Gentlemanly" Harry Wills, Kid Norfolk, Gans, McVey, Chick Suggs, and the killing of ambition in the chap who might have taken to the sport if in his heart he felt fairplay would be dealt him; o'er shadows the justice done in isolated cases like Tiger Flowers (allowed to fight for championship), Bruce Flowers, and Al Brown. Dal was a certain winner. Suddenly Joe pulled himself together and with one desperate try unbuckled something, and the next instant Hawkins was on the floor as dead to the world as "Doc" Cook. Some of the folks said it was a left hook that dropped the southpaw, but all agreed that it came with the suddenness of a lightning bolt. When the fight was over, the crowd remained to sing 'Auld Lang Syne,' and announcer Joe Humphries didn't fail to tell the gang that every democrat in both houses of the legislature had voted to retain boxing, but had lost out. Oh for the days of yesteryear. the case of Eldridge, who hit in the back of the head with a hammer. We thought that amateur basket ball suffered a severe blow that night, and only the return of the fall season will prove how far wrong we are in our estimate. To be sure there will always be a large, mouthy, foul speaking set of followers burdened with just such weapons as Eldridge was struck with, knives, razors, and guns—but what about the decent element who really support the game, and from whose set the mothers and fathers of the players themselves emanate from? Red blooded fighting is not their forte—but the ways of the underworld, the stealthy movements of the law breaker who preys upon decent society who are unprepared for their unannounced attacks. WE want a solemn promise from the lads who form the per- sonnel of these two clubs that they will do all in their power to kill the 'gang' spirit in some of their frenzied following who merely attend the games in order to wager on the result of same. To be sure, the Collegians appeared against the "Scholastics," the team that whipped them twice last season, but a week apart from the sanguinary battle that we have heretofore related, and everything was 'Jake' as the wall street boys say. But eight months is still a long time in which to forget things, and in the name of the letter writers who demanded an article of this nature, the Buffaloes and Collegians are asked to clean house. What part did the Buffaloes have to play in this, you might be inclined to query?—well, in their hearts they know that their following were very much in evidence when the fists and chairs began to fly, and all of it was not in the name of self defense. Renaissance Casino needs better policing, and especially at the amateur games where the tension runs high at all times. If the management is not going to take a hand in this matter and give their patrons the protection they pay for—then the conclusion is obvious. If they are all like the writer, many a fist will fly in the direction of the vandals responsible for the disturbance, and anything else that is handy in order to protect mother, sister, sweeheart, or wife. Basket ball is bigger than either of these two clubs, and while I have the greatest respect for such lads as Lind, Eldridge, Munroe, Carter, Tumpy, et al. something drastic must be said in the interest of life and possible permanent injury under the guise of an evening's pleasure. Track Yankee Stadium—Charlie Major, former Coburn Classical Institute champion high jumper, could place no higher than fourth in his specialty at the Eastern Olympic tryouts. Figured to win the event or at least place second, the Salem Crescent athlete was only able to leap 5 feet 10 inches but an inch lower than the winning jump of Caveny representing the Germantown Academy. Usually capable of a performance approaching 6 feet. 4 inches, Charlie suffered an offday and had to be content to see the eastern title go with a leap he is capable of in practice. Los Angeles—Nathaniel George, crack colored sprinter of Whittier College, California, gained no little recognition by finishing inches back of Charlie Paddock and Frank Wyckoff in what was advertised as the "race of the century" at 100 meters. Paddock had all he could do to stave off the closing rush of this colored phenom who already is being hailed as a second Howard Drew. The time of 10 3.5 seconds equalled the Olympic Games record set by Don Lippincott of the University of Pennsylvania competing in the 1912 Swedish edition of the classic games. Edward Gordon. of Gary, Indiana, looms as the nearest approach to Dehart Hubbard and 'Lean' Hamm, of Georgia Tech University as America's outstanding long jumper, as they call the broad jump in that dear 'Ole Lunnon.' He is at present at Freshman at Iowa University, and officials of the university are contemplating entering him in the coming Olympic trial games to be held in the State. Recently he jumped 24 feet 11 3-8 inches, a performance that has only been topped by four other Americans in the entire history of amateur athletics. Bob LeGendre, Ned Gourdin, Hamm and Hubbard are the quartette who have beaten 25 feet and more. With Slim Booker of Union University, Gordon, and Dehart Hubbard, to say nothing of Sylvio Cator, the swarthy Haitian; the 'rising tide of color' ought to find its true setting at Amsterdam, Holland, some time in July. Ira Jennings Stars in Pullman Games At Hell-Gate Park last Saturday afternoon. Ira Jennings, former Stuyvesant High School athlete, who will Matriculate at Fordham College next fall, copped four medals. Athletes from New York University and the Jamaica Y. M. C. A. vied with employees of the Pullman Company in their annual games. Ira is one of the most pupular members of the younger set and plans to be a Pharmacist. He is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel Jennings. Tom O'Rourke Issues Challenge for Carter Silver thatched Tom O'Rourke, the sage of the fight racket, is indignant over the way the fistic '400' pass right by the doorstep of his towering heavyweight—Carl Carter. When Carter ruined Bud Gorman with a single punch, practically every big fellow in the land suddenly developed a severe attack of yellow jaundice at the mere mention of his name. Whenever he is given a shot, it is al- 1930 CARL CARTER ways on a moments notice, they are afraid to allow him the proper time to get into condition. Risko, Godfrey, Heeney, or any fighter living is my slogan for Carter. Just now he is 'rarin' for the opportunity to get in there with a headliner, for it appears to be useless trying to get boxers like Touchstone, Dorval, Charles, Paulino, Von Porat and the like, for they absolutely are not at home when I push his calling card under the door. Carter is one of the stiffest punching heavyweights living, and were it possible for him to stay in condition through constant fighting. he would be a worthy opponent for even the champion. Gus Moore Training Hard for Olympic Trials The greatest schoolboy miler New York has ever turned out is working hard at Pittsburgh University in an effort to regain the form that evoked the experts to rave over him. Like Francis Hussey, Moore was allowed to compete in too many races, and as a consequence suddenly went state and suffered a loss of form. His recent defeat at the Howard games has left a bitter taste in his mouth, and the former Boys High star is working very carefully under the watchful eye of a coach who ranks high in Collegiate circles. Nothing would suit Gus better than to wear the shield of Uncle Sam in the 1500 meter event, and failing to win a place on the team, the lion hearted Colored ace will endeavor to whip himself into condition to take a shot at the existing mile record. Page Eleven Heavy Batting Feature Double Victory for the Lincoln Giants Displaying unusual skill at bat, the Lincoln Giants won a double header from the Harrowgate Club at Philadelphia before about 4000 fans at the Catholic Protectory Oval Sunday afternoon, June 17. The Lincolnns won the first game by a score of 10-2 and the second, 10-3. The Philadelphiaans were outclassed from the outset and the games were a little more than practice contest for the coming struggle between the Giants and the Homestead Grays in Pittsburgh and at the Catholic Oval the week ending July 1. George Scales led his teammates at bat with six hits in nine trips to the plate for the two contests. These included a two bagger and a home run. Scales was closely followed by Lloyd, Riggins and Mason. Mason also got six hits for the day which included three two baggers. The Lincolnns have strengthened their lineup by the addition of Arnold, formerly left fielder with the Royal Giants; Lewis, former first baseman of the Bacharach Giants, and Evans, a right hand pitcher from Boston. With Winters, Rector and Gisentaner having the best season of their careers Manager Lloyd is confident of turning back the Pittsburghers this time.

Sara Washington Dance for Health TO give a fresh sparkle to the eye, a blush to the cheeks, grace, beauty and strength to the body—DANCE. Dancing is the most enjoyable exercise known, and in order to be beautiful and healthy one must exercise. Dancing teaches coordination of all parts of the body. And everyone can dance. So if you have trouble in getting good dance music on the radio, buy a few victrola records, turn back the rugs and dance in the evenings. This is better for everyone concerned rather than sitting around gossipping. If you happen not to know any of the popular steps such as "Charleston" or "Black Bottom", don't feel that it is too late, or that you are too old to begin. Nor don't be bashful—get up and try. Those whom we look upon as being expert dancers had to learn, and perhaps in their beginning they were more awkward than you. Of course you will argue that you are too stiff and not graceful enough to attempt such dances and, even so, if you did try, you would feel so "silly". Perhaps you may at first, but try it when you are alone. Soon it will be easier. If you give vent to your feelings and let the music move you, you will soon learn the so-called complicated steps. I might mention here that there is no better exercise for the abdominal organs and for the promotion of longevity than the "Messaround". Dancing is one of the surest methods of retaining a slim figure and it certainly keeps you young and graceful. Have you ever noticed how graceful an actress walks and what exquisite poise she has? In the future pay more attention to people on the streets and notice how they carry their bodies. Improve your carriage, walk erect, be graceful in your movements so you will be pleasant to look upon. VIOLA DRESSES Smart and Chic Styles DIRECT FROM 5th AVE. TO YOU WALTER LEWIS 515 N.

Taylor Gordon gave "Water Bay" and Jules and George Nixon sang together. There was dancing, there was witty repartee. there was very wise and much traveled Muriel Draper. And the loveliest part of it all was that those gifted people were kind enough to say they enjoyed my company. Now wasn't that nice? I am completely squelched.

The front of the theatre was taken up by private cars, so he turned the corner and found a cab at the curb beside the stage entrance. He gave the driver his Harlem address and leaned back to dream of Maryelle Rose. Henceforth, dancer or no dancer, she should be the star of his soul, he would worship her from afar. Then all in a moment he was suddenly brought back to earth. Just as the cab started the door was violently flung open, a hooded figure dived into the cab and slammed the door. The cab kept on, the driver had not heard the noise in the midst of the general uproar of tooting horns and coughing engines. "For God's sake, Mister! Don't throw me out, don't, please! I'll explain!" It was a woman's voice. Herbert, not yet recovered from his astonishment, could only stare at her. He could not see her plainly as the cab whizzed along. She was panting deeply. "You won't regret it, Mister," she breathed. "I'll tell you everything when I get the chance." "But who—who are you?" She bent sidewise and looked at him searchingly. "Who are you?" she asked in her turn. "I'm Herbert Rent; but who—" "I am Maryelle Rose." (To be continued) BROOKLYN News by KATHRYN E.

"Myths" and Alarmist Hokum of the last several elections show the malicious and well balanced community. With passing tendency to ignore party labels and often seeking their suffrage. Usually such an electorate is at least in some means of temperate and intelligent organs of our Harlem. Instead we have the anomaly far in advance of their accredited rise, in political discrimination. To be an electorate consistently votes with moderate tribute to its political acumen, for its own conclusions virtually without assiduity it is more accurate to say that the verdgment in spite of the resistance of the an effort to clarify issues and discovery the journals consistently pursue befuddlement.

Acclaimed by millions as the Quickest and Best to In Dark Complex The results of the last several elections show what, politically, Harlem is a judicious and well balanced community. The voters have shown an increasing tendency to ignore party labels and to weigh the merits of the men seeking their suffrage. Usually such independence on the part of an electorate is at least in some measure due to the guidance of fair, temperate and intelligent organs of opinions. This is not the case in Harlem. Instead we have the anomalous situation of a body of laymen far in advance of their accredited leaders, journalistic and otherwise, in political discrimination. To be able to say that the Harlem electorate consistently votes with moderate wisdom is to pay a remarkable tribute to its political acumen, for the voters must arrive at their own conclusions virtually without assistance from the press. Indeed it is more accurate to say that the voters arrive at fairly correct judgment in spite of the resistance of the press, for instead of making an effort to clarify issues and discover the interests of the community the journals consistently pursue a policy of obscurantism and befuddlement. The New York News editorial, "The Myth of Al Smith" is a fair example of political discussion as practiced by Harlem journals. The News says in part: "Al Smith embodies in the minds of too large a proportion of the masses their hope to destroy . . . evils in America. That they are mistaken in general, that they are deluded in particular as to Al Smith does not matter . . . The Al Smith they idealize is a myth." The implication is that to be the principal of a myth is something unique in American political thought, hence discreditable. As a matter of fact the creation of myths around able statesmen is one of the most common phenomena of American politics. There was the Wilson myth of super-intelligence, the Roosevelt myth of super-courage and super-integrity; there are the Coolidge myth of super-sagacity and the Hoover myth of super-efficiency. These myths, while they exaggerated the qualities of the man, were not altogether misleading. Instead they served to magnify their traits so that people far removed could comprehend something of their character. Since this is true why is the Al Smith legend discreditable to its principal? Imbedded deeper in the same editorial we find this flawless gen of donkey logic. "There is no hope for the nation through the National Democratic party controlled as it is by the Bourbon Smith. There is speedy ruination for the nation and the party, as stated by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, if Tammany controls the Capitol." Read those two sentences again. Observe that the "News" first declares that the Democratic Party is hopeless because of its Bourbon leadership and in the very next sentence quotes one of the most hopeless of the Bourbons as an authority why Tammany, i. e. Governor Smith, should not be trusted with national power. In other words, the "News", a Negro newspaper, has the effrontery to tell its Negro readers that Senator Simmons of North Carolina is more dependable than Governor Smith of New York. On what authority, barring that of Senator Simmons, does the "News" assert that the election of Governor Smith to the Presidency would ruin the country? He has been elected Governor of New York, the greatest and richest state in the Union, four times. If he has ruined the state during that long period of incumbency not many citizens, rich or poor, black or white, have discovered their plight. Would the editor of the "News" prefer living in North Carolina with Senator Simmons to living in New York with Governor Smith? If not how does he explain his preference to living in a commonwealth government by a man with a propensity for "ruining" things? The "News" is unable to support its opposition to Governor Smith with either facts or logic, therefore it falls back on insincerity and bluster. Its latest attack is simply alarmist hokum run wild.

Most everyone contrived to create some sort of a Spanish atmosphere about themselves. Spanish shawls predominated. Many of the guests were garbed in Spanish costumes and to say the least they certainly looked good Everybody was there and a few folks from Mars dropped in for a peek at this dance of dances. The specialities were excellent and Garbage broke everybody down with his bull fight. The ferocious bull was just about to get the best of poor ole Garbage—but leave it to that clever soul. Off came his boot—the boot was held to the bull's nose and that great big ole bull just passed right out. Of course I didn't want Garbage to get hurt but I really felt sorry for that bull. The way he died was tragic. Well I'll dry my tears and go on. The music was conveniently slow—such a crowd you know. Mrs. Abbott and Mrs. George were presented to the guests and the applause rang out expressing their approval of the successful dance. Mrs. Abbot was charmingly gowned in a Spanish costume of white lace. At two o'clock taps were sounded and everybody had to go home—they didn't want to—but the dance was over. Sabe? The Wynsum bridge club was entertained by Mrs. Marjorie Arrington Thursday evening. The luncheon was delicious, and the girls had a great time. They are planning something quite interesting, can't tell yet a while what it is. Miss Hazel Belle Renfrae won the first prize, and Mrs. Ruth Jordan the second prize. A lovely party. Sweet and pretty Miss Marion Shaw has a guest for the summer. A charming lady from the West. She hails from California. Mr. "%ig" Herman blew in town and blew out again. He would go to New York. Evidently he made quite an impression on the minds and hearts on several members of the fairer sex. He will be back so don't despair lovelorn lassies. The Alpha dance last Saturday night was just what the Doctor ordered. The music is still being raved over. The praise is due Joe Gryder, a Northwestern product. Some of the guests were Hazel Bell Renfroe, Wm. Anthony, Mildred Ware, Russell Brown, Connie Young, Avery French, Anne James, and Whitfield. Oh yes, the delightful Alice Mason was there. Mr. Marcus Mahone escorted Miss Lottie Lurnley to the dance. He seems to be escorting the lady everywhere. Horsefeathers. Miss Lottic Lurnley has returned home for a brief visit. Miss Lurnley has been studying at Radcliffe, working for her M. A. She is returning to Boston to attend summer school. Her many friends have been more than delighted to see her again. Miss Elizabeth Neely entertained in honor of the Misses Mackey and Jordon. The form of entertainment consisted of a well planned bridge party. Only a personality similar to Miss Neely's could further the success of such a lovely party. The Misses Virgie Mackey and Florida Jackson graduated from the University of Chicago this month.

Mrs. Davis' current edition of her annual revue bids fair to exceed her future efforts along this line. There have been many reservations of tickets already and it appears the house will be sold out, as usual. Before the Foolights BY PLAYBOY AT the New Willard Theatre last week Mable Whitman the oldest of the Whitman sisters gave an interesting talk before the performance. She stressed the fact that the Negroes who have money would be doing a great service to the race and for the women of the race if they would invest some of this money in building good theatres. Mable went on to state that, instead of these monied Negroes building decent theatres where the colored theatrical profession could be developed, they invested this money in large, high powered automobiles, and excessive large houses. Still they would condemn Negro shows because they were not high class, and well dressed. Mable asked how can Negroes of the theatrical profession produce high class, well dressed shows, when they have so few places to develop them in. This was certainly common sense, straight from the shoulder, but the only trouble was that the right person did not hear it. Some day probably Mabel will reach the right people and then maybe we will get some results. * * * "Rang Tang" has been packing them in at the Woods Theatre. Edward E. Daley who is presenting this road edition of "Rang Tang" has two very good comedians in Billy Higgins and Joe Byrd. But anyone who has seen the original show with Miller and Lyle starring cannot help but notice the differences. The supporting cast of the show is exceptionally fine. Among those noted were Minto Cato, Alberta Fryme, Lillian Westmore, Lena Wil- --- son, Honey Brown, Frances Hereford, Blake Morris, Monte Culvert, Eddle Whitfield, Pan-American Four, and Charles Olden. While "Rang Tang" has been going big downtown, Irving Miller, in his own vehicle "Broadway Rastus," has been getting good box office returns at the New Willard. With Irving is a fine looking chorus as usual, which works well. Emmett "Gang" Anthony, S. H.
