THOMAS, Prop, --- Maryelc Rose by Aubrey Bowser America's Greatest Race Writer of Short Stories --- Friday, July 13. 1928 Synopsis Synopsis HERBERT DENT, a loyal member of a hard-shelled religious sect, uncumsbs to temptation and commit what is for him a cardinal sin—the enjoyment of a vaudeville show. He promptly falls in love with "Maryelle Rose", a feature dancer of the bill. After the show, he halls a taxi which is hastily opened by an exclaimed young minn who implores him to help her escape a horrible pursuer. In the short conversation that resulted Dent realizes that his companion is "Maryelle Rose" and that there is excitement in the air. By carefully following Maryelle's instructions Herbert sees the Devil-faced pursuer, evades him, and the two settle down in the cab to chat. But only for a few brief moments, Maryelle gives Dent further instructions and slips from the cab. Upon his return home he is attacked and suffers some painful bruises but in able to go in the street the next morning, where he unexpectedly runs into Maryille, disgusted as a colored woman. They later meet by appointment. She is frantic on account of having lost a precious bit of paper. HERBERT had not the least idea of what she meant. From the horror in her voice and face he knew it was something terrible, but he could only look at her. "Millions of lives!" he repeated blankly when he at last found his voice. "Millions!" she groaned, her face pule beneath the brown stain. "Men, women, children oh, my God!" "Tell me, what do you mean?" "I can't take time to explain; we have to go to Central Park and look for the paper. By some chance it may be still there." "No, it's not. I took it home with me to figure it out; I didn't know it had anything to do with you. I could not puzzle it out, so I throw it out the window. It must be down the back yard now." "If it hasn't been swept up!" she exclaimed, jumping to her feet. "We must hurry." "All right," he agreed, "let's go." "No, not you you stay here till I come back. You're probably being shadowed and I'm not. Now tell me how to reach that back yard." He gave her quick and accurate directions, and in a flash she was gone. She ran across the avenue and leaped into a crab, leaving Herbert more mystified than ever. "Millions of lives," she had said, "men, women and children." What on earth could she be talking about? He was still guessing when the sanctum door opened and the officer came in. "Good morning, Mr. Dent," he said, extending his hand, "My name is James, Miss Fender has not come yet?" "Yes, she was here and asked me to wait till she came back." The editor searched Herbert's face as if he would like to ask him some questions; and Herbert was wondering how much the editor knew. "I have often heard of colored people in your department, Mr. Dent, but I've never before seen any of them to know them. I suppose it's pretty exciting at times, as well as dangerous." "Now, what is this man talking about?" thought Herbert. Aloud he said, "What business do you mean, sir?" "All right, Mr. Dent," laughed the editor, "I had your pardon. We newspaper people are rather nosy; it's our business to be. I can understand that your effectiveness depends on your not being known for what you are." Herbert looked even blanker than before, and the mistaken editor smiled in admiration. "Well, Mr. Dent, if I were as good --- an actor as you are I'd go on the stage." The telephone rang. "Yes," said the editor, taking it up. "Oh, all right, Mr. Dent, it's for you." Herbert took the receiver. "This is Mr. Dent." "Yes?" replied Maryelle's exultant voice. "Say, everything is splendid. Got it right away. Some luck? "Good! What now?" "Take a taxi. What till a lone one comes along, so as to give you a good start if you're followed. Go to some crowded traffic corner and get out. As soon as your taxi is out of the way, take an other and go to a hundred and tenth and Lexington Avenue. I'll meet you there and get in. Hurry." "All right. On my way." He took his leave of the editor and went out on the street. He did not glance about him to find his possible follower; it would have done him no good, for there were a hundred people in sight, any one of whom might be his shadower. He let a flock of taxiabs pass. At last a solitary one came along. For the moment no other cab was near. He signaled it, got in and told the man to get to One Hundred and Nineteenth Street and Eighth Avenue as quickly as he could. The car leaped forward and in a few minutes was at the point named. There it was blocked by a long line of passing school children, and the delay bade fair to extend to three minutes, more than enough for his shadower to catch up with him. For a moment he was in a quandary, then he gave the chauffeur a half-dollar and slipped out of the cab. Instantly he darted into a drug store and hid behind a telephone booth, peeping out at the cab he had left. The line of children passed and the cab started across the avenue. So did another one that had just come up behind it. Herbert's cab turned up St. Nicholas Avenue. So did the other one, as if the same rope were pulling both of them. "Maryelle was right," murmured Herbert. "They've been tracking me all the morning." But there was no time to lose. The shadowing taxi cab would soon speed up alongside of the first one and the shadower would learn that it was empty. Herbert dashed out of the drug store and took another cab, giving Maryelle's directions. The cab sped down the avenue and swung over to Cathedral Parkway to Lexington Avenue. There stood the colored girl whom Herbert alone knew for Maryelle Rose. He told th driver to stop, and she got in. Some "Tips" and "Don'ts" To Marathon Dancers Some "Tips" and "Don'ts" To Marathon Dancers By G. WILLIAM DUNN, 3rd MR. DUNN entered the New York Marathon Endurance Dance under the name of Almohomet Malachi Mell. With his partner, Mrs. Edna Dorsey of Pittsburgh, he with three other teams completed three hundred and eight hours of actual dancing, exclusive of rest periods, stopping only when the derby was closed by the New York City Board of Health. They spent four hundred and fifteen hours and fifteen minutes in the contest. They began at 9:45 P. M., June 17th and finished at 3:00 A. M., July 4th. Mr. Dunn is a student at Virginia Union University. He is a journalist, a columnist, and an athlete. He re- Fourth Installment "Where now?" "The good old park," she laughed, and Herbert repeated it to the chaulfeur. "Whew!" said Herbert, taking off his hat to wipe his forehead. "Ouch!" "What's the matter?" "My head. I'd clean forgot it." Then he told her all about his adventure after he had left her in the park the night before. "I might have known it!" she cried when he had finished. "Instead of telling you to change your address I should have told you not to go home at all. Devil-face moves faster than the wind." She felt his head and he winced. "I'm sorry. I brought it on you, too." "I think I'm lucky," he said with a grin. "If the room had not been so dark he'd have got a better aim and maybe killed me. But see here, Maryelle, tell me a few things. Even yet I haven't the least idea of what I'm doing and what it's all about. Like a soldier in battle I've done just as you told me without stopping to know why." "Yes, Herbert, you're a good soldier, and a mighty good boy. This morning when I was hanging round your block waiting for you I kept thinking what a decent fellow you are. You see, my business doesn't take me among men like you. Some of the men I see may be decent enough, but they don't show me that side of them. But you haven' any other side. Herbert, I'm not going to call you Mr. Dent, you know." His hand dropped upon hers. She let it rest a moment, her eyes softening, still looking at him as if he were something unreal. Suddenly she shook herself and pulled her hand away. "No. no, Herbert, this won't do. We're in a serious business and we can't afford any petting until it is over. We'll have to put ice on ourselves for a while." "For how long?" he asked impatiently. "Only time will tell that. By the way, it's a good thing you're brown-skinned; I'm afraid some of my stain rubbed off on your cheek just now." He looked at her with a sudden shock; he had forgotten that she was white and he was colored. Only sixteen hours before, the racial barrier would have seemed insurmountable; but now, as man and women looked at each other, fighting down their emotions, the great hates of the world seemed ently walked from Richmond to New York in fifteen days, making stops in Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. His home is in Dayton, Ohio, where he was formerly sports editor of the Dayton Guide. Since leaving Dayton he has been on the staff of papers in Akron, Canton, Pittsburgh and Richmond. He is one of the founders of the Pittsburgh Guard. At present he is syndicating a column on the weekly happenings of Harlem, called Harlem Week by Week. He gained six pounds in the race entering at one hundred forty-seven and stopping at one fifty-three. * * * Men, in plecking a partner find a lady with will-power, ability to endure, and one who is as small as possible. Be sure and read your contract before signing it. Henry Curtis Brown No, no, HERBERT, this won't do. We're in a serious business and we can't afford any fretting until it is over. We'll have to put ice on ourselves for awhile. far, far away. They laughed nervously. "Dear boy, we'll have a lot of things to settle when it's all over," sighed Maryelle, "but now we must be all business." "Speaking of business, Maryelle, I've had a nasty crack on the head and been shadowed all day by someone I've never sen. And that editor I just left thinks I'm in some special department of something." If you can stand being called "a pain" in the neck and have the "guts" to endure the hatred of other contestants, learn to constantly jeer them. This gets their goats and increases your chances of winning. 率率率 If you have more than one fair lady, be certain that they all don't know you are in the dance. If this is impossible arrange specific hours for each of them. If they all happen to come at once see that they sit far apart. You can stop and talk to each of them and say that the rest of them are friends of your partner. If you are not certain of any prize money, marry your partner. This assures you of a few hundred and publicity at least. --- Paye Three do. We're in a serious business until it is over. We'll have to put lives for awhile. Herbert repeated his talk with the editor. Maryelle laughed. "Now, Maryelle, will you tell me just what business I'm in?" She grew serious and put a hand on his arm. "My dear, innocent boy," she whispered, "since I first dived into that cab last night you've been in the United States Secret Service." (TO BE CONTINUED) Some Don'ts to Marathon Dancers DON'T make friends with the other contestants. You will soon be enemies. DON'T pick a partner that is larger than yourself—this to men. DON'T fail to take along enough money to provide something to eat for yourself quite often. DON'T accept things to eat from strangers or from persons that you do not trust. DON'T inhale the fragrance of perfume and flowers that are offered you. DON'T take any one for your partner in whom you are sentimentally interested unless you want that interest ended.

Laura Bowman is his wife and Monte Hawley, his unwilling aide. For a change George Greene stops the show with "Low Down". He and the girls do some fine stepping and are forced to take an encore. Dusty Fletcher and Sunny Lee have the comedy honors. Kirkpatrick and Miss Bowman sing "Silver Threads Among the Gold," assisted by the girls in georgeous attire, dancing the minuet. Words are inadequate to describe Miss Bowman's art. Here and later in the drama when as the drunken "Moll" who tries to save her "man" from jail—she is superb. Louis Dandridge is very popular with his singing and dancing and playing. Jim kidnaps the adopted child of Judge Davis in revenge for a jail sentence. His wife tries to take the child home, but they are interrupted by detective Jimmy Marshall, who tells them that the child is Jim's own. When Jim finds that his dope has killed his own son he knows that "Vengeance is Mine." Don't miss this. --- AT THE LAFAYETTE Theatre this week, we have Maude Russell, Eddie Green, "Baby" Cox, Doe Doe Green, Johnny Vigal and a number of others in the "Follies of Paris." It might just as well be called the "Follies of Harlem" for, a rose by any other name would be just as sweet and ditto for limburger cheese. No, the offering is in neither class; it's far from being a rose if the rose is to stand for quality in this case, and just as far from being in the cheese class] In short, it is just the usual ordinary revue contraption with a number of clever favorites, nifty costumes and one or two innovations. The singing and dancing is good but the comedy rather weak. Doe Doe Green is the comedian but he is badly handicapped with little if anything to work with. He's shackled and hooted in the oft-repeated bedroom situation with never an opportunity to show to advantage. Eddie Green, who also works under cork, gets away by virtue of his monologue which is a pippin. It is not what Eddie does but how and what he says that causes the many laughs. AMERICA'S LEADING LAFAY 7TH AVE. ONE WEEK BEGINN THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S FESTIVAL Despite the intense heat, the entertainers worked with a zest that was surprising. Maude Russell and Baby Cox put their hearts into their efforts and were fairly well rewarded by the audience in appreciation.

Amanda Randolph and the girls singing "I'm More Than Satisfied' in their usual good form (those Zigaboo Gowng!). Cecil Rivers and Flo Brown please with their duct numbers "Together" and "Didn't I Tell You". Rex Beach's famous drama "The Spoilers" is well done. Edward Thompson is the square miner Fannie Lane his beautiful sweetheart—Charles Olden, her brother, and Susie Sutton the other woman.

Tender Radio Hour July 4th THIS program, which is offered for your entertainment by the InterState Tattler through the courtesy of "Who's Who in Colored America, Inc.," would not be complete without a few brief remarks about the colored theatrical profession. The InterState Tattler is a weekly illustrated given published with the aim of entertaining its readers. Its features are light fiction, humor, sports, society and comment on the theatre. It gives more space to discussion of the theatre than it gives to any other feature. It reflects the social side of the stage as well as the professional side and in return the colored members of the theatrical profession have made the InterState Tattler their favorite publication. Because of the close bond that exists between the InterState Tattler and the people of the stage, in their style could more clearly reveal what this paper meant in American journalism than a brief talk of the colored actor's contribution to American culture. At the outset I must state the giveree has said that this little lecture—if I may dignify such a brief talk with such an important name—this little lecture, I must insist to say, makes no claim of being the least bit complete in artistry. To tell the whole story of the colored actor's valuable gift in artistry nature would require many volumes. The most I urge to do at this time is to give a suggestion of its nature and value. The colored actor's contribution to artistry nature has been of a double nature—social and artistic. Perhaps it would be better to say artistic and social, but in this artistic side of his work is not of greater intrinsic importance. It is less than the means of making his social message personal by the means of his white fellow Americans. White Americans such as have interested in the colored artist. Through the artistry of his work they have come to a better understanding of the idea represented by the artist. Striking Personality and actors have influenced her life, representing a number of writing genres and second, by making original works in those principal genres is through the study of appreciate the important past played by the actors in bringing about a better understanding of Americans and colored Americans, by recalling well known colored Americans with me and also by recalling those names that are not your friends—such names as that of Bert Williams, a brilliant career as a guardian of polities, who not only won the applause and publicic, but also their affection; the tribute to who created the new style of writing in Little Along" and who have contributed to such shows as "Burnett Wild", "Wang Welling"; Bill Robinson, for many years by Yeville Lane as "Bryngled", and with the date of 1928"; Ethan Walters, the late of white hills; and the late Florence Wills, the late of Mills, like Bert Williams, has not only added was also deeply loved in both America the time of her death she has a national only her own rank in all America was pro honorizing her in this Way, admiring her magnificence to the world, admiring her in these art through the stages.

First, by presenting a number of well-known personalities to the public; second, by making original contributions to these art forms whose principal purpose is through the stage. You can readily appreciate the important part played by the personalities of our actors in bringing about a better understanding between white Americans and colored Americans, by recalling what the names of well known colored performers have meant to the public, and also by recalling what these names have meant to yourself and your friends—such names as that of Bert Williams, who concluded a brilliant career as a permanent fixture of the Ziegfeld Follies, who not only won the applause and admiration of the public, but also their affection; the famous team of Miller and Lyles, who created the well known of colored musical shows with "Shuffle Along" and who have continued to delight the public with such shows as "Burnin Wild", "Mang Tang" and "Keep Shuffling"; Bill Robinson, for many years known to big time yaudeyville fans as "Bryngland", and will the star of "The Blackbirds of 1928"; Ethel Waters, the ideal of white and colored intellectuals; and the late Florence Mills, the ideal of the world. Florence Mills, like Bert Williams, was not only admired by the public but was also deeply loved in with America and Europe, and at the time of her death she was a national character in whom not only her own role was all American was group.

Perhaps the most widely known and most popular of living colored actors who have achieved success on the legitimate stage is Paul Robinson, who first came to prominence in Eugene O'Neill's "All God's Chillin Got Wings". This play, you will remember, caused a great deal of controversy, but there was never any disagreement about the excellence of Mr. Robinson's interpretation of the principal colored character in the drama, Mr. Robinson later scored successes in a revival of "The Emperor Jones", and "Black Boy", and now has a leading part in the London Company of "Show Boat".

This affection has been vion by each and every one of them making his or her name a synonym for pleasure. Now we come to the second great accomplishment of the colored actor—presenting a large number of winning personalities to the public, as I have already observed, being the first. This second great achievement is the remarkable extent to which colored actors have influenced the spiritual and social life of America. If you will turn your mind's eye backward about twenty years and compare the mental picture of American life of that period with a picture of American life today you will be astonished by the great change which has taken place in ideas and manners. In many instances the opinions and attitudes of two decades ago have reversed, and in many others, new points of view have been instuated into old ways of thought. If you will examine the new elements in the ideas and manners of America, and not only America but the entire Western World, you will find that these new elements may be divided in two classes—those which have their source in economic forces and those which have their source in artistic forces. As the economic forces have no direct connection with our subject, we may disregard them and concentrate our attention on those features of present-day American life which can be traced to artistic sources. And when we study the most conspicuous changes of thought and conduct, the features of the present era which most conspicuously contrast with the ideals of the last generation, we find that many of them are old practices and points of view Back Backstage with Stagestruck Fortune, the great commandress of the world, Hath divers ways to advance her followers; To some she gives honor without deserving; To other some, deserving without honor; Some wit, some wealth, and some, wit without wealth; Home wealth without wit; some nor wit nor wealth.

"Fortune is like glass—the brighter the glitter, the more easily broken." ACCORDING to rumor, Karl Dancer and his wife, the musical comedy star, Ethel Waters, stole out of town late Sunday afternoon. It is said that the couple will sail from some nearby port for Europe. The Dancers, Karl and Ethel, have had a tempestuous career in the theatrical world. Karl has tried again and again to usurp the honors of David Belasco and Florent Ziegfeld. Karl has always wanted to be a producer and to let him tell it, Karl Dancer is the world's greatest Impresario. Despite the many reverses he and his wife have suffered, he still believes he can make the grade. But his every effort during the past year or so has been a miserable failure. Karl does not seem to realize that there is a world of difference in reproducing junk for the T, O, B, A, in the sticks and scaling the heights on Broadway in the big city. There is some excuse for his stupidity and mule-like stubbornness. But when he added chicanery and dishonesty to his list of short comings, he added the straws that LINC First Colored T 58 WEST 1 THIS "JIM'S R A Thrilling Mum Underworld with NCOLN Colored Theatre in Harlem 58 WEST 135th STREET THIS WEEK: 'M'S REVENGE' LINCOLN First Colored Theatre in Harlem 58 WEST 135th STREET THIS WEEK: “JIM’S REVENGE” A Thrilling Musical Drama of the Underworld with a Human Appeal CAST OF THIRTY PEOPLE FEATURING: SYDNEY KIRKPATRICK & LAURA BOWMAN MONTE HAWLEY BABY HINES DUNTY FLETCHER SONNY LEE GANAVES OWTIZ JIMMIE MARSHOLL And the Fastest Dancing Chorus 12 — COREY STEPPERS — 12 Thurs. to Sun.

According to the story of the debacle of the Dancer vehicle at the Lafayette Theatre last Saturday week, Earl was given money to pay his people with but lied to them about the money, claiming that the theatre managers would assume this responsibility. Mr. Schiffman, general manager of the corporation's many theatres, boldly told Earl before the entire Africana company, that he (Earl Dancer), was a thief. That he (Frank Schiffman), had given him $4,100 and there was no excuse for the people not being paid. Little faith is placed in the rumor that Karl and his wife plan sailing for Europe at this time. Hilda Rogers, talented soubrette formerly of the Alhambra, sends greetings to her many friends and the Tattler readers. She says she opened with Greenlee and Drayton in Berlin, Germany, with great success and she is greatly pleased with the German metropolis, and is enjoying it immensely. The Spotlight On the Air (Continued from page 8) of Negro life. We may take, for example, the new relations between the sexes—men and women meeting on a plane of equality and frankness instead of through the innuendos and false modesty of the Victorian era. Or we may take the prevalent pagan attitude toward life in general. These are inherent traits of Negro character and as we all know they have recently been incorporated into the ideas and manners of the entire Occident, or Western World. In order to be clearly understood I must pause here to explain what I mean by the word pagan. I do not mean any trend THE MUSICIAN Vivacious PHI PHI JONES, hostess in one of Harlem's Night Clubs and a reason why we can't get home until morning. toward irreligion. I simply mean that philosophy of life which accepts pain without complaint and embraces pleasure without apology. Many people who will agree that great changes have taken place in American life will be inclined to think I am exaggerating the part played by the colored actor in bringing those changes about. Naturally, they will ask just how the colored actor exerted such tremendous influence. The answer is that the colored actor translated the ideas and feelings of his race into terms of the great popular arts of dancing and folk music and sold them to the public. When the public discarded the restraint of the Waltz and Two-step in favor of the wild abandon of the Charleston and Black Bottom, they were also prepared to throw off corresponding restraints of thought and behavior and to adopt a free and candid mode of living. Since that is the way the American Negro has always lived, the adoption of his ideals amounts to a spiritual conquest achieved by the colored actor.

It goes without saying that the colored race gained immensely by the transaction. On the other hand, I do not think anybody who has enjoyed the spirited dances and sensuous music originated by colored people and popularized by colored actors will claim that white Americans got a bad bargain. Both races are equally indepted to the colored actor for helping them to discover their common ideals and affinities. The gratitude of the colored race to their own actors may be taken for granted. The appreciation of white people the world over was amply demonstrated on the occasion of the untimely death of Florence Mills. Comparisons are in bad taste, but I must beg your indulgence for a moment while I illustrate a point I want to make in conclusion. No one can deny that the beloved veteran of the stage, John Drew, held the deep and lasting affection of the American public.

It is rumored that he was the latest victim to fall for her charms. I wonder what the two excess lovers will do now, Prince Dunn and Harold Carson? Come on, Clarence Peters, tell the gang who the sheba is we see you with so often in the Avenue. Will she be the next one to cry over you? The 4th of July went over with a bang, but not with Albert Clark. He couldn't be found around the customary rendezvous. Bobble Johnson, they tell me that you drive a mean car. Is it true? I ask you? Doc White looks rather prosperous here of late, and how! Phi-Phi, the winsome little cigarette girl at the Bamboo Inn, is the dashing young soubriette of the Avenue de 7th. When work is done she can be seen running home to her blue heaven. Freckles and her husband seem to be quite loving of late from what we noticed at Seaside Wednesday. We saw Maude Woodson and Bea Foote on Edgecombe Avenue last Sunday and they certainly looked good. Clarence Pardue has been out of the city for some time. We wonder what is keeping him away from the shebas of 7th Avenue. The Brackins Sisters, the latest addition to Harlem's beautiful feminine quotn, who receptly made their debut in swank New York at the Lafayette, and most picturesquely on the front cover of America's pictorial wonder—the Tattler—are once more the object of the spotlight of attraction.

Members of a race who have accomplished such deeds of valor in tests requiring brain power, skill, courage, and strength under conditions that were not at all times favorable, need never bow their heads in shame regardless of the powerfulness of their traducers. . There is a certain hysterical tendency among present day scribes to ride the PAST upon the back of the PRESENT in much the same fashion as did the “Old Man of the Sea” in the picturesque story of “Sinbad the Sailor”. A survey of the records reveal the fact that modern athletes are far superior to those who flourished less than a half century ago, with some few exceptions in various theatres of sportdom. Boxing, Wrestling and Horse-racing, have had their heroes who still defy the rapid pro- gress of today’s fast thinking, and meteoric performers, but there the comparison ends. As great as were Melvin Sheppard, Arthur Duffy, and John B. Taylor-Paddock, Ted Meredith, and Binga Dismond, serve to destroy their legendry hold on the generation which applaud you today, and hand you the razzberries before sunset. For more than twenty. years the broad jump record of Pat O'Connor of Ireland stood the combined assault of the premier long jumpers of civilization. Eddie Gourdin, Bob LeGendre, Dehart Hubbard, Sylio Cator, Eddie Hamm, Pasquale Brunetti, and Capt. Atkinson of South Africa, have all leaped over 25 feet displacing O’Connor’s 24 feet 11 and some efghth’s inches since 1921. In short,—we are ancestors of Angels. Every child born into the world is a littie better than the child of the preceding genera- tion. Is it not a fact that babes were once born into an environment of fear? Fear of the ancient Gods, fear of a supernatural Hades, fear of creeds and dogmas, and fear of the dark institutions of cruelty? But we of To-day are born into a public opinion that is vastly different. An opinion which looks on the Deity as friendly and just, welcomes science with outstretched arms, sees the power of co-operation to be greater than that of contention, and makes of WOMAN a divine leader instead of a living tempter;—so why shouldn't our athletes be of finer stripe. Like “Siegfried” the youthful athletic performer of today, attacks the flame that hedges his ideals to find them theatric and harm- Jess. What will be the tenth generation from now,—what the twen- tieth? The immortal John Davidson in his writings touched the key- note in his often quoted verse:- “And thus I made the world A fit abode for greatness And the men who yet may be.” FIRST HALF IS OVER the National Negro Baseball Lea team out in the van and Detroit of scoffers take the attitude of ssify this circuit on a par witl From the viewpoint of a writer 1 yy getting accurate data, we ar smines of the Colored learcue. bu T# first half of the National Negro Baseball League is over, with the crack St. Louis team out in the van and Detroft Stars in the runner up position. A lot of scoffers take the attitude of laughing to ridicule any attempt to classify this circuit on a par with the American and National League. From the viewpoint of a writer who carefully guards against criticism by getting accurate data, we are well appraised of some of the shortcomings of the Colored league, but they have nothing to do with the ability of the players or the general strength of the teams comprising the circuit. W. C. Hueston, President of the National Negro Baseball League, recently employed one of the leading baseball experts in the country to make a survey of his circuit with a view of finding out the true classification. This correspondent travelled with the clubs, acted in the capacity of a scout, and made caustic comment in his notebook at every game that he personally covered. He assured Prexy Hueston, that his League was a class “A” organization, and that he had never seen greater natural ballplayers anywhere in the world. In another column of this page, we publish the second-half schedule of the League that is a personal tribute to Negro enterprise and sagacity.

Ted Thompson, but lately of Wilberforce, is considered the out- standing exponent of the racquet by the gentry who devote most of their valuable time to writing sport happenings. Not only is Ted a tennis wonderman, but he is a “fair to middlin” basketball player, if you catch our meaning. Ted promised to teach us lots about the game that made him famous, but true to form his conversation lasting a little over an hour, had to do with the exploits of “Wu Fang” Ward, whom Thompson rates on a par with our own Harold Mayers of Renais- sance Big Five fame, and a recent commission bestowed upon him (second Lieutenancy) in the United States Military forces. ‘We like this boy Ted Thompson, he possesses the true champfon- ship COMPLEX.

Another No Hit Artist in “Fame’s Hall” “Whizz” Poindexter, crack pit- cher for the Birmingham Black Barons of the National Negro Baseball League, waltzed right into the sacred portals of last- fing fame when he twirled a no hit, no run, game against the celebrated Chicago Ameri- can Giants in a league game last month. “Whizz”’, twirled the nighcap clash that lasted but seven innings, but it was a classic nevertheless, and the way he was working the other two innings bade fair to be just as hitless and runless as the preceeding chapters.

The National Negro Baseball League begins the second halt of this Season, next week. At this writing, it appears that the St. Lou- is Team has won the first half with Detroit as the runner up. These two teams as well as some others have given an excellent brand of Base Ball and both of them have deserved to win. As President of the League, I am indeed gratified with the brand of Baseball played by every team in the League as well as the improved condition un. der which the games have been played. The Spirit of the game as played by our League has been one- hundred percent. Each and every team, and every player thereon has tried his utmost to win. No player has been _ indifferent to his Team’s success. All try- ing hard to give their best, and as a result the Public has come to know, that our League games are ali played on the square, and there- fore deserve the full and complete patronage of the Puble. In fact the only trouble that I have with the games arises out of the zeal of the players to win. Every now and then a player goes a little to far, but now in my second year the players have come to know, that stern, yet equitable discipline follows such in- fractions, when ever they occur, and hence our games with one or two exceptions have been free from delays and quarrels. Each player now knows to be put out of a game for any cause, no excuse accepted, costs the offending player Twenty- five $25.00) Dollars. I feel fully cer- tain that delays and serious quar- rels upon the playing field are about at an end. Of course some Spirit is expected to be shown. In fact spirited contending furnishes one of the thrills of the game. In order to find our Leagues clas- sification in the Baseball World, since we do not have the opportun- ity to contend, except in rare in- stances against the Teams in or- ganized Baseball World, I employed one of the Worlds recognized Base- ball experts to make a survey of our League with a veiw of finding out our classification and his report to me after seeing all of our Teams in action more than once, states that our Baseball Classification is Class “A”, and said that to his surprise, our League has some of the greatest natural Baseball play- ers he has ever seen, and that three of our teams, with one or two nec- essary players in addition to what they had, would move them up out of Class “A” to big League Stand- ard, Then too, our Leagune ig furnishing employment to Five- hundred people, 9734 per-cent of whom are members of our own Race, at a cost of nearly $400,000.00 and many of those so employed are young men who are still attending the colleges in this Country. And when every proper ability is shown it is our purpose to give such young men the preference. Yours truly, W. S. Hueston, President of National Negro Page Bleven LINCOLN GIANTS. WIN 2 MORE; ST. LOUIS TEAM HERE NEXT SUNDAY The Lincoln Giants won their cighth and ninth straight victories Sunday, July 8, when they defeat: ed the Philadelphia Professionals in a double header. Talcott, the former big leaguer, held the local team to six hits in the first game but in the second, the Lincolns were able to win by 2 big margin. The scores were 4-3 and 15-6. “Kid” Thomas, a 19 year old Trenton schoolboy pitcher, was on the mound for the local team in the opening game and made a good impression on the fans. Gisentaner pitched the second game for the Lincolns. Considerable interest was aroused among the fans present when the announcement was made that the St. Louis Giants will make their first Eastern trip in four years next week and will be the Lincolns opponents in a double header Sun- day, July 15. They boast several stars in their line-up and have been going wonderfully well this season. The score of the first game last Sunday was as follows: Philadelphia Pros Ab r h poae H.

Drew, known throughout the world of athletics as the “Peer- Jess”. Drew, now a Justice of the Peace in Hartford, Conn., was a model of sprinting form, Mike Murphy the greatest coach that ever lived once remarking that Drew had it in him to run just as fast as he chose. Out in Monrovia, California, there is a young colored schoolboy named Na- thaniel George, whom the experts are hailing as the “fastest human”. Recently he ran the 100 and 200 metres in close to the best existing figures, and just missed winning a berth on the U. S. A. team that will compete in the Olympic tests at Amsterdam, Holland. ‘Lincoln Giants’ fp coy Goer ae CATHOLIC.

I SWANEE! * * * At The Swimming Party "Don't be an old fossil, get in the swim"—"Come on in, the water's fine".—These and a wealth more of harmless banter greeted my ears as I neared the swimming pool at the Y. M. On last Friday the ole swimmin' hole resounded with the shouts of the merry-makers. The party was arranged by Bos Thomas and Tom Fagans. We give all the credit to those boys. Enjoying the cooling waters we sighted the Misses Virgil Trent, Marion Townes, Dotty Miller, Barbara Matheas, Lelia Warrick, Anita Hunter, Marion Turner and Miss Ewing. Of slightly less importance yet considerably noisier were the men. Clarence Hawkins. Tom Fagans, Bill Jackson, Bob Abele, Justin Hope, and Cogley Jones complete the list. Great work boys—we admire your originality. * * * The Staff was O so glad to meet again Miss Beatrice Truman who is visiting in the village. B's charm is that of intelligence. * * * Miss Peggy Wood of Atlantic City is making pop calls under the supreme guidance of the Mary of the Sutton family. She is in good care Eh! What? * * * Tried in vain for three successive days to find Miss Edna Hazelwood at home during her stay with her sister Mrs. J. Alva Creditt Such popularity must be deserved.

Follow the boys as they trudge or roll east on Christian Street and north on 16th. They say that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow trail. They're mighty right. Only this time the gold is in the form of a bit of blonde loveliness. * * * Shelby Rooks remains in town, we are told, to hold down the Lincoln end of the line. We forget to mention that Oscar Lee, track man, Bradley, a distance man and Frank Norris, a hurdler, are yet very much in evidence. However, Shelby, being an alumnus now is a grad. in the art of line handing. Hence, the superiority. * * * Atlantic City is again the center of attraction. The Allmond family, I believe has taken it upon themselves to migrate shoreward. They arrived in time to celebrate the Fourth by the sea. Bill Conyers of the Quakertown spent a very pleasant Sunday as the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Terry and their charming daughter in Atlantic City.

Among the large number of persons attending were the Mrs. Laugley, Lacey, and Smith, and Mr. and Mrs. Brown, the Misses Moten and Battle, Samuel Aines, A. D. Jones, J. H. Woodsaw, Ernest Franklin, Alexander Evans, James Kearney, and Pringle. * * * Frisby—Woodland An affair of more than usual social importance was the wedding ceremony on last Thursday evening, at which Miss Emma L. Woodland became the bride of Mr. Clarence E. Frisby. The Ceremony was performed by the Rev. Charles Freeman of the First African Presbyterian Church, and took place at the residence of the bride, 2313 Turner St. The bride was given in marriage by Mr. Lewis V. Smith. Miss Pauline Freeman was maid of honor, while the Rev. James T. Smith was best man. The wedding march was played by Mrs. Catherine L. Woodland. The bride was becomingly gowned in ivory duchess satin and lace, and carried a sheer bridal bouquet, her only ornament being a string of pearls and crystals. Among those present at the ceremony were Miss Thelma Smith, Misses Gladys Freeman, Elsie Frisby, Edna Frisby, and Williams, the Mrs. Houze, Mary Satterfield, Phoebe Smith, Williams and Freeman; Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Zula, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Barrett. The Newly-Weds left immediately after the ceremony for a honeymoon in Atlantic City. They will be at home on July 10. *** Miss Cora Boyd, of New York City, is in town, visiting her grandmother. * * * Emanuel Mansfield, tenor, well known in local musical circles, is giving a series of summer recitals throughout the Eastern shore of Maryland, New Jersey and Delaware. Mr. Mansfield is a Pupil at Princess Anne Academy, where he won several prizes during the year just closed. \* \* \* Our old friend J. B. Davidson just passed by, all decked out in knickers n' everything, on his way for a day of pleasure. Jay Bee is bound for Bordentown, N. J., for a swim, a run, and a game or two. Don't ask me how I found it out, but he will return tonight for a party which is expected to be stupendous. From there he will wend his way to Atlantic City. Then, that is if the big cigar which seems to be taking him around lasts, he will no doubt reach New York. Mr. Wm. Stewart has again taken complete charge of his own hotel at 16th and Catherine Sts. With him, we find Wm. E Pettus. Old patrons are jubilant and are preparing to give the two "Bills" a play. * * * Charming little Miss Erma Brown. N. J. who is well known among thet young social set of of Trenton, N. J. is the guest of her sister Mr. and Mrs. John Jeodson. “Sub-Deb Dabs” Ida and Olga Hazel, two charming sub-debs, entertained a few of their friends on Friday a week at an informal party. Girlish is the word that describes the black flowered chiffon worn by Olga. Ida was lovely in a pale green georgette circled with darker green. At a glance I noticed Lania Davis, Mary Hill and Louise Truitt. Of the Four Horse-men Jim, Jack and Henry were there. We missed Bus. Irvin De Chaubert, Al Fegans, Skinny Jackson and Bill Conyers had a good time with the other fortunates. * * * Miss Consuelo Mullin popular in the younger crowd was given a delightful surprise party in honor of her graduation. "Conny" was indeed surprised and overjoyed. Another sub-deb graduates. This time it is Miss Gertrude Trent. We hear that the party that "Cutie's" friends gave her was just the last word. * * * Miss Mae Comeges was given a send off by her youthful admirers. Mae will spend her vacation in Ocean City. Vashtai Norwood says it was a glorious affair and we are forced to believe her since Vashtai is somewhat of a connoisseur. * * * We are told that Isabelle, a younger daughter of the Chisholms of 58th Street, will spend her vacation in the dear old southland. Nothing could be finer. * * On the 4th of July the sub debs, called by some spring chickens due to their tender years, flew the coop, as it were, in the company of parents and erlatives. Most of them were found at popular seashore resorts tripping over white-capped waves. "Al Says" Dr. Sylvester Smith last year's winner of the Pennsylvania Open Tournament is rapidly rounding into form to defend his title again this year. Dr. Smith recently represented the Pennsylvania Tennis Asso. in the Cockburn Trophy matches and made a creditable showing. Norman Reed former C. I. A. A. champion and runner up in the Pa. Open last year has entered the local tournament and is busily developing his strokes for the coming tourneys. He should make a good showing. Ernie Ashe's splendid showing against Kenneth Worde in the Cockburn matches manifests Ernie's aggressiveness. Ashe has a petora of strokes and uses them all to good advantage. Lulu Ballard National Women's Champion will in all probability enter the Pennsy Open in preparation for her campaign to defend her title at Bordentown. Lulu will no doubt enter as many tournaments as possible when she returns from New England to keep her game at top form. The Pennsylvania Open Tournament will attract many of the leading players of the country to Philadelphia including a large representation from both New York and New eJrsey. The Tournament is scheduled for the week of July 30th to August 4th on the Woodford Courts of Strawberry Mansion. # WELL here I, WILLIAM D. BROWN, am, "The Tattler", on the streets of CHAMBERSBURG.

Sandy Burns at Pearl Phila., Pa., July 9.—Sandy Burns and company opened here at the Pearl Theatre Monday to an excellent house and were given a warm "Welcome Home Again Party'. The Burns company, which closed at the Alhambra Theatre of New York City last Sunday night, arrived here about 3:15 P. M. this morning. They reported immediately to the theatre and then scattered to their homes for a washup and bite to eat. They were a rather tired lot when they reported for work but tired as they were, they certainly stepped on the gas and helped to make it a red hot party. In addition to Sandy, the others who made the trip from New York were: George Wiltshire, Russell Lee, Montrose Brooks, Bessie Wrightson and Daisy Wright. In addition to the above named, Inez Dennis has been training the chorus girls for all of a week and rehearsing the music with the famous "Fess Williams Orchestra, the musicians who were big favorites at the Savoy Ballroom of New York. That Baby You've Longed For That Baby You've Longed For Mrs Burton Advises Woman on Motherhood and Companionship "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Margaret Burton, of Kansas City. "I was terribly nervous and subject to periods of terrible suffering and melancholia. Now I am the proud mother of a beautiful little daughter and a true companion and inspiration to my husband. I believe hundreds o' other women would like to know the secret of my happiness, and I will gladly reveal it to any married woman who will write me." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without charge. She has nothing to sell. Letters should be addressed to Mrs. Margaret Burton, 257 Massachusetts, Kansas City. Mo.

The maids wore pastel shades of taffeta and tulle with leghorn picture hats; the maid of honor was all in orchid and the matron of honor in peach. Ruth wore white taffeta and tulle, her dress to her ankles and her flowing veil caught with a cap of orange blossoms. There was plenty of fun at the reception following for crowds of visitors were there. The Avants ere now in Virginia. ence * * * ‘* I also told you of another of our W here fo Dine teachers, Marceline Lewis’ marri- age to James Ephraim Hinton at | ’s Caf » Golden’s Cafe On The Main Thoroughfare Kentucky & Artic Avenue Dine Here and See Your Friends — — SERVICE — — A la Carte—REGULAR DINNER 5c OPEN DAY AND NIGHT MR. & MRS.

Just why the somehow I associate heat with the sunshiny day for the picnics and found a fairly logical explanation that folks did picnic, drive and pa THE Fourth of July rolled around again as it does every year. Firecrackers made their usual noise and the day was hot, as all fourths should be. Just why the day should be hot I can't say, but somehow I associate heat with the Fourth of July. We prefer a warm sunshiny day for the picnics and outings, I presume. Now that I've found a fairly logical explanation for my statement, I'll go on to say that folks did picnic, drive and party right on down. Quite a few members of the Appomatax Club and their friends had quite a delightful time at Waters Farm. At Riverwood one found quite an assembly of Chicago folks. Dr. and Mrs. Hall, and their charming daughter, Hortense, motored to Blue Island, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Edwards and Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Lindsay surprised us all by a flying trip to Detroit. The Alpha house was a scene of much merriment the night of the 4th. Tis needless to go into detail—the Alpha's gave it—so we know that a good time was had by all. Among the guests were the Misses Isabel Carson, Alice Mason, Hazel Renfroe, Wilda Kennedy, Myrtle Kellso, Anne Maude James, Mildred and Alma Raymond, Bona Verdun, H. L. Reeves, Lulu Esters, Beatrice Esters, Madeline Towles, Susie Robertson, Ella Bray, Margaret Burns, Florence Barnett and Margaret Barnett. A few of the distinguished gentlemen were, W. G. Mason, George H. Chapman, Bruce Alleyn, Theodore Boyd, Ernest Greene, Benjamin Grant, Orthel Roberts, Ira L. Braziel, William Larnes, Geo. Shrapshear, Leonard Blacknell, Louis Hickman, Theodore Livis, Herbert Greenwood, Edward Manyon, Frank L. Hailstolk, Jr. and Drs. Charles Larkington, Leonard Jewell, William Anthony, and Counsellor Richard Harewood. The marathon dance is still in power. Although the couples move slowly—they move. I really felt tired as I looked at those dancers. Some people remark how foolish and absurd—but I can't agree whole heartedly with such a statement. I rather think they are to be complimented on their perseverance. A few of the many visitors at the Armory last week were: Tracey W. Champion, Dr. Gordon Jackson, Dr. James Lawson, William Woodard, Mrs. Geraldine Gloner, Mrs. Sophie Teycer, Frank L. Hailstolk, Jr., Miss Francis Poals (of New York), Miss Hazel Powell (of Pittsburg), Dr. Samuel Prentice, and Dr. Mary F. Waring. Weil it was good while it lasted. Invitations have been issued by Miss S. A. T. Watkins and her daughter. Mrs. Caldwell Watkins to a reception and dance, given in honor of Mrs. Wm. J. Yerhy—Orpato Portugal, Mrs. D. P.

Miss Altoney Blanchet entertained with a dancing party last Friday night in honor of the Misses Zelda Blanchet, Flossie Dugas, and Bona Verdun of New Orleans. These charming southern beauties are creating quite a stir. Another lovely party was given by Mrs. Pedro Santos. A bridge party given at the Bird Cage Tea Room, honoring Mrs. Emmet J. Scott of Washington, D. C. and Mrs. D. P. Hudnull of Flushing, L. I. The tables were prettily decorated with peonies and ferns. The guests were Mesdames George Cleveland Hall, S. A. T.

Imagine a real, sure enough laundry, located on 51st and Prairie Avenue. The Superlative by name. They are doing some great work there—they would. The big laundry men (business managers and financial heads of the firm) are Messrs. Louis Breaux, Harold Graves, Edward Gillispie and Arthur Eilbot. Too bad. I'm telling you. Bring along your duds and give 'em a break at the Superlative. Oh sho! Folks continue to love one another and get married—one of the latest entrants into the game is the former Miss Nancy Jaimeson, now Mrs. Lemuel MacDougal. They were quietly married June 16th. Mrs. MacDougal is one of Chicago's own and is well liked by everyone. She has a rare charm and sweetness about her that just makes you like her. Her many, many friends wish her much luck and loads of happiness. The lawn party given at the home of Brs. James Banks proved to be quite a success. The Michigan Avenue Congregational Church sponsored the party. The beautiful lawn was a pretty scene of summer gaiety. Among those seen coming and going were, Miss Ellen Jackson, Mr. Chick Coleman, Mr. Frank L. Hailstolk, Jr., Miss Florence Draper, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar De Priest, Mr. and Mrs. Stanton De Priest, Mr. Paul Jones (the blonde), Mr. Mouzon, Mr. Hamer Thornton, Miss Adine De Luc, Mrs. Walter Abernathy.

That play is "Porgy". Burns Mantle, Chicago Tribune critic, ranks the 10 leading plays and has this to say: New York—(Special)—Six of the ten plays that I should select as the best of the season's successes in New York are still playing. That is one of the tests of their worthiness. At least it is a test of their right to stand as the most representative of the playgoers' taste in plays. And not one of these six, nor one of the other four, for that matter, is a salacious play or a sexy play in the rougher sense. Not one of them is a silly play, or a purposeless play. Which should serve to encourage the theatre optimists as surely as it will discourage those who have been so patiently waiting for the theatre to lead the way to hell. These ten plays I have chosen as being most worthily representative of the season are: Eugene O'Neill's "Strange Interlude." George Kaufman and Edna Ferber's "The Royal Ramlly." Philip Barry's "Paris Bound." Dubose and Dorothy Hayward's "Porgy." George Abbott and Ann Bridgers "Coquett." George Manker Watters and Arthur Hopkins' "Burlesque." George Kelly's "Behold the Bridegroom." John Galsworthy's "Escape." Bartlett Cormack's "The Racket." Sean O'Casey's "The Plough and the Stars." The first six of these, in the order named, are still playing and seem likely, so long as the weather remains cool, to continue on well into the summer. Some will hold over into the first weeks of the new season. * * - At the New Willard Theatre Ida Cox, the Paramount Record Star, known as the Queen of the Blues, is singing a mean blues this week. Also on the bill is Helena Justa, a remarkable toc dancer. Helena is very graceful and artistic and does her dancing with much ease. Princess Notaes Majahara, of East India, is enthralling the patrons with the art of crystal gazing. The rest of the bill is filled out with an excellent all star revue. * * * The Metropolitan Theatre has been offering the first part of the week Richard Barthelmess in the First National's picture "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come". This is a romantic story of the Kentucky Mountains. Barthelmess is seen in the role of "Chad", the fourteen-year-old boy who has amazing experiences during his youth. It is an ideal role for the star and one that he plays with sincere conviction. The picture was directed by Alfred Santell, who is a master of dramatic situations. Molly O'Day, the charming young First National actress, who has proven a sensation in her first year in pictures, plays opposite Barthelmess. "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" has won universal praise from critics and gives promise of being one of the outstanding pictures of the year. Erskine Tate and his celebrated orchestra win much applause from the audience with some real live dance numbers. --- Rang Tang, playing at the Woods Theatre for the sixth week is still drawing good crowds. Billy Higgins and Joe Byrd are still provoking much mirth from the audience, with their clean cut comedy.

Colored Miners War on Alliance of Gold, Dirt and Disease Over 60,000 Negroes Involved In Great Coal Strike— Women and Children Suffer BLACK AND WHITE MINERS CONTINUE TO BATTLE FOR THEIR RIGHTS AGAINST TERRIFIC ODDS Since April 1927 there has been in progress a determined struggle between the Miners of Penn- sylvania and Ohio and a portion of West Virginia and the coal operators in those fields. The miners on the one hand, demanding a living wage and right of collective bargaining, and the right to keep their union, their check weigher at the mouth of each mine, their pit committee to ensure safe working condiions and thus avert accidents causing loss of life and limb. The big coal trusts on the other hand have been forcing down wages by bringing into the coal fields non-union labor white and black from centres of economic depression, as in the vicinity of closed down mills, and from the rural districts of the South. These non-union workers in many cases are work- ing for wages so mall that they are unable to pay for the actual necessities of life purchased in the companies’ stores Moreover, their inexperience and lack of skill is resulting in great loss of life. During the week ending May 30, over two hundred non-union miners lost their lives in the Mather Mines of West- ern Pennsylvania. At least sixty five of this number were known to be Negroes. Miners’ families. black and white, are dispossessed and in the places the water supply has been cut off, and oft times the roofs have been removed from their shacks. Their women as well as the men on picket duty are being brutally handled by the com- panies coal and iron police.

Not being privy to the details of intra- party wire pulling and manouvering we will not pre- sume to say which side is right. But we do-not hesi- tate to declare that in so far as the fight impairs the effectiveness of the organization for the strenuous work of the coming campaign both sides are wrong. With equal emphasis we declare that the faction which appears to be stirring up dissention for the sole purpose of hi-jacking the party out of financial sup- port for phantom political clubs and overnight news- papers is not only wrong but contemptible as well.

But they fight bravely on in thiis great industrial battle assisted by the sympa thetic workers and the general public.

No city in the United tetes where there are any workers at all, should be without a relief committee. Food, tents. and medica! -*qd will decide whether the miners go back to work free men who have 2 union to protect them o1 whether they go back as serfs who must take what the bosses give them.
