Published Friday of every week matter February 26, 1926, at the Popular DIES FROM ASPHYXI ```markdown ``` "One more unfortunate, Weary of breath, Rashly importunate, Gone to her death!" All Harlem, theatrical circles and the profession were deeply shocked Sunday afternoon, on learning the sad news that the pretty "Show Boat' dancer, Luu L. Williams, took her own life by inhaling gas in her apartment, 219 Edgecombe Avenue. Mrs. Williams was the former Lulu Ledbetter and occupied the apartment with her four-year old daughter, Gloria, and her mother, Mrs. Cassie Ledbetter. She separated from her husband, Roy Williams, about three years ago The young woman was 22 years old, born in Darlington, S. C., but has lived in New York City since early childhood.

They are the last pictures taken of the pretty and popular "Show Boat" dancer. On the left, LULA is shown with her uke, a smile and a parently, not a "Worry" in the world. In the center she is pictured resting contentedly with her buddies, CATHERINE PEACE at the left and ETHEL, SHEPPARD at right. In the third pose, she is smilingly enjoying a bottle of pop as she smartly poses on a stump for the camera. This forcefully brings to mind the words of some sage, that: "Many A Smiling Face, Hides An Aching Heart". Even as she apparently was enjoying the outing, tragedy was ever so near. Not one of her buddies who were with her on that Sunday of pleasure realized that "Death" by her own hand would claim their friend and co-worker a week later. clates and dearly loved by all who knew her. Lulu made her debut on the stage three years ago in the chorus of Club Alabama' where she was highly respected and gained the highest esteem. Later she was selected as a member of Zeigfeld's "Show Boat" cast which opened eight months ago, remaining there until her death. Her congeniality and pleasant disposition were her greatest assets and her coworkers, as well as her employers dearly loved her. Late Saturday night she left the Zeigfeld Theatre, 54th Street and 6th Avenue and taxied to Harlem, as usual with her friends, which included her pals, Catherine Ponce, Ethel Johnson and Dorothy Bellis, and they relate that she was cheerful, and her fair countenance withheld the horrible story of her inward feelings.

M. taking her granddaughter Gloria for a walk. She returned about 4:30 P. M. and on entering detected the deadly fumes of the illuminating gas pouring from the kitchen, and there she found the body of her beautiful daughter outstretched upon a blanket which she had outspread as her last resting place. She had closed all windows, and turned on three burners of the gas range in full force. The arrival of the Emergency doctors from Harlem Hospital with pullmotor, failed to revive her. Three letters were found near the body, but it is understood that they did not explain the cause and the real motive of the deed. One letter directed a request that her little daughter, whom she doarly loved, be placed in custody of the child's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. H.

Lulu's intimate associates were the only persons in whom she had confided, and they have varied versions of her fatal despondency. She complained that in her efforts to maintain a home for her little daughter and her mother, her financial difficulties were such that they had cut off from her life every spark of human happiness. Her pride and aspirations had been crushed. Many of her friends had gone to her rescue on various occasions, and her heart rending appeals were answered frequently, yet, the load was too much for her young soul. Sympathetic words and encouragement went unheeded. Lulu did what she could, and she finally outwitted fate by taking her life for the sake of those she loved best.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES BILL (BOJANGLES) ROBINSON CHARGE D' AFFAIRS FLOYD G. SNELSON, JR. BENNIE BUTLER 2 ORCHESTRAS 2 DANCING FROM 9 P. M. UNTIL Social Snapshots Geraldyn Dismond THE heat has us in its grip. Harlem is so hot and sticky that the natives have given up. Personally, I have stasis. For two days and nights I have contented myself with an electric fan, a shaker of frapped tea and an abbreviated French gown. There is much talk of going to the shore, but not sufficient energy to make the trip. We drip; we green; we droop. I have decided to be a good little girl—hell might be this hot. There is a feeble effort in the more tardy sections however, to carry on. The Utopia Neighborhood Club gave a dance at the Savoy Bathroom Friday night and the Utopia Followers, visitors and a goodly number of Porgyites turned out. Then the Pauline Jackson English Channel Swim Fund committee, Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, Theodore Smith, Leonard Harper, Greenlee & Drayton, William Vodery, C. Luckyoth Roberts, Billy Pierce, Roy Willis, Clinton Williams, A. A. Haston and Lt. John McDonald, promoted a cabaret slumming party (Don't you love that "slumming"?) at the Sugar Cane Wednesday night. If such a thing were possible, Wednesday was hotter than the rest of the nights; consequently, as far as I have been able to learn, most of the guests were conspicuous by their absence. I spent the night reading about Russia, but page after page of snow storms brought no decrease in the temperature of my room. But don't be misled. Some people are going places and doing things. Regardless of the heat, the Washington school teachers must have their fling, the home guards must turn out occasionally and youth must be served. Here and there, the w. k. members gather, the correct amount of s. a. is paraded, the necessary p. p. handed out and—well, we'll let that drop. The image shows two individuals standing side by side. Both are wearing dark coats and hats, and their faces are obscured by masks. The person on the left has a broad smile, while the person on the right has a neutral expression. The background is plain and white. The two Marjories - MARJORIE SMITH and MARJORIE HALL are out stepping. They have that fatal combination of S. A. and pulchritude. The Marjorie Smith may step over to Paris. In spite of all the snooty remarks by my friends about being able to take the girl out of the country but not the country out of the girl, I persist in making at least one yearly pilgrimage to Coney Island. I love it. The minute I step on the island, I am ten years younger—just like that. I have made the trip in every available day except by subway. I never have been able to work up to that. I have used my car, by boat, by the specialoney Island buses and by taxi. Of the few, by bus is my favorite. How much is difficult to and buy friends who are interested in taking bus trips of that length, but by perserverance, I have managed to make the grade two times. All of which is introductory to the remark-I went to Coney Island Thursday night. (In a Pierce Arrow not by bus.) ```markdown ``` We landed opposite Feldman's. For the uninitiated let me say that if ever you want the perfect shore dinner, the best of service and draught beer that will fool you, find Feldman's. Having safely parked the car (quite a feat on a hot night) we started for the THE FIRST WEEK OF THE NEW YEAR Sweet and pretty OLIVA and IRENE STINNETTE, the charming sisters of our W. K. McCleary Stinnette, Texas' gift to Harlem. Bowery. By the Bowery, I mean that nondescript and rear street which runs parallel with the Island's main thoroughfare and on which may be found the fat lady, the lion faced girl, the half-man half-woman, eating houses galore and endless thrillers. Our first try was the Virginia Reel—a tub affair which went up and down and around and around at one and the same time. You were supposed to stay in the seat, but by some hook or crook I lost my hold and went flying about and settled at last on my escort's favorite straw hat. ```markdown ``` After that brilliant beginning we inlulged in dripping cones of frozen custard and nothing would pacify me but a ride on the giant ferris wheel. Well, after one trip around I began yelling to the guard to prepare to let me out. I expressly wanted to go up in order to get a complete view of the Island, but what I really got was a cramp in my fingers from gripping the Sweet and pretty OLIVA and IRING sisters of our W. K. McCleary wires of the cage and a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. But a hard head makes a soft understanding. I must forget my age, and ride on the Cyclone, the wildest of the wild scenic railways. For the first time in my life I was frightened speechless. Not one peep could I get out and when I stepped out of the car I discovered that my knees were tricky and that my heart was doing a Charleston. That finished my mad career. I contented myself for the rest of the night with eating hot dogs and claims and drinking root beer and orangende. I had a marvelous time and Coney Island is still my great love. ```markdown ``` Atlantic City, Ashbury Park and Spring Lake have been dethroned. The holly-tolles will be satisfied with nothing these days but Oak Bluff, a corner of Martha's Vineyard Island, the "Gem of the Atlantic". The Bluff has Vineyard Haven Harbon on one side, Edgartown Bay on the other and looks out toward the Atlantic Ocean. It boasts of pure air, abundant and good drinking water, an equable temperature and natural beauties. Gay Head, a varif-colored mountain of clay, is one of the marvels of nature and here remain the remnant of Indians who once inhabited the entire island. Oak Bluff is an ideal spot and each summer sees an increasing number of our group journeying to the Island. --- Dr. and Mrs. Norman Cotton have selected Oak Bluffs for their summer home and have one of the show cottages. The H. B. Delanys have decided that it is the ideal resort for their five small children. The lovely Edna Lewis Thomas who naturally would prefer Massachusetts since she is a native Bostonian, rests there, and then the usual week-enders ply back and forth. Last week the Shearer Cottage, which is noted for its excellent food and service and is managed by the J. E. Martins, housed Mr. Jesse Binga, his secretary, Mr. Harry Scott and Dr. H. Binga Dismond. They spent the week and returned the best --- --- boosters Oak Bluff has ever had. And so it goes.

We have, we believe, one of the most unique organizations of its kind in America viz, a group of walters who without the stimuli "grips" "pass words", "signs" totems or emblems, exemplify the spirit of altruism, utilitarianism, and fraternity. We strive at all times to elevate the art of "serving the gentry", to create a more wholesome relationship between our group and the various groups with whom we are thrown into contact and to improve our present conditions in every possible way, both as walters and as men. Our organization is composed of 31 regular men and officers and 26 "extras" or "part-time men". In addition to these men there are three check room attendants, Mesdames Genevieve Williams, Gertrude Starks and Mr. Preston Rocks; one wash-room attendant, Mr. Monroe; one steward's assistant, Willie Williams; two pantry girls, Misses Bessie Gaither and Mercedes Taylor, and two starters, Johnnie Baker and J. S. (Dick) Wright who are vital cogs in the smooth running machine—which is our organization. Mr. W. Lee Smith is the founder of and the directing genius behind this machine. Mr. Smith's name is a synonym, in the hotel business, for intelligence, success, efficiency, and honesty. He is the originator of a delicious salad dressing which he has personally made for twenty-five years for service at Villepique's Inn and at the Royal Ponciana grill room, he has served both places as Martre de hotel for twenty-five years. He is also one of the wealthiest men in his profession. Mr. Smith is ably assisted by an efficient corps of officers, they are: Wm. (Billie) G.

Benjamin Franklin Williams, Jr.—who enjoys the reputation of being the "jolliest captain at the Inn" and who gives one the impression of being the busiest, is, in spite of his manifold responsibilities, a "regular fellow", which is, after all, the only true criterion of a fellow's worth. * * * Capt. John R. (Dan) Daniels—who with his dazzling smile, his rich copper-colored complexion and his slick hair is a potential threat to any young woman's heart.

Friday, July 27, 1928 ...Club S By HERBERT THE Social Rounders rounded up seven bus loads of guests Friday night and rolled over to Shady Rest where they did eat, drink and carry 'em around. We left the Renaissance at seven and landed with minor mishaps at the swank golf club about ten. The best of fried chicken and everything that goes with it was waiting for us and we did nobly by it. Of course the too bad Rounders brought their own orchestra—one of those young peppy singing outfits that makes you step, and how! By two-thirty President Dave Turner began to pack us back in the buses and by six, we were in Harlem, a tired and happy bunch. Three cheers for the Social Rounders. * * * The St. Emma Alumni Association held its regular meet at the home of the Herbert Wilsons, last Friday. Mr. Raymond Tinsley, exvice president, who recently returned from a two months visit to Richmond, Va., gave a few remarks that were beneficial to the Association. * * * The Bid-A-While Social Club of Flushing, Long Island, entertained Saturday night with a banquet in honor of its First Anniversary.

Mrs. Mary K. King became a new member. The couple holding the highest number of points for the evening was Mrs. Clara Adams and Miss Rosetta Wyatt. Refreshments were served by the host of the evening, Mr. Harold K. Swan. The handsome Duke Ellington can be found each evening—provided you are a musician, at his new Washington Club over Mexico's. It opened Monday with a stag smoker. So glad I play a uke. The Beta Phi Club's Moonlight Cruise up the Hudson from all reports was a wow. A small but too eight bunch set out and made merry. They bumped to Alex Jackson's music, petted on all decks and urank their correct liquids. The W. K.

They are out to win the honors from the Jolly Fellows, Four F's, Loyal Men and Loyal Ladies of the Hour, Buffaloes, Blue Heaven, Jay Dee, Manhattan Whist and all other clubs that boast of their classy uniforms.

Jesse Gines, chairman in charge, is working very hard to insure a great success. Exalted Ruler, James Veal is his aide-de-camp.

A Tonsorial Emporium THE Ravens Kroft—a barber shop located at 2292 7th Avenue is rapidly receiving recognition among Harlemites, due to the fact that this unique parlor is quickly reducing skin and scalp disorders to a minimum by employing the most sanitary methods. The old adage, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" has been handed to us through several generations but its significance has not always been taken into consideration. There need be no fear of eczemas, tetters or other forms of dermatitis when this shop is entered. Each individual is served with a hair brush and comb, sterilized at the operator's chair and in the presence of the customer; therefore destroying any germs that may be present and preventing any infection. The shop is rapidly becoming a fashionable rendezvous. SAVOY-TOPICS 100 Winners of Last Year ABOVE YOU SEE THE three winners of last year.

Miss Holmes knows her "Onions" and how. She even tried to inveigle the one and only Miss Jerry, well known woman journalist, to sport a "BATHING SUIT". CAN YOU IMAGINE the popular social writer strutting about the SAVOY in a UNIFORM OF OLD DADDY NEPTUNE? Huh; our imagination is "Runnin' Wild." IT WOULD BE WORTH all of $200.00 to see the popular "Jerry" strutting her "Jones" in a pretty red bathing suit. We'd be there every nite. In fact come to think of it, we would sleep in the SAVOY somewhere, not to miss anything. THE MUSICIAN "Fess" Williams HERE'S SOME GOOD news for SAVOYITES: "Fess" Williams is in town.

Lottie Brown in fine voice leads the girls in "Way Down South in Heaven." Dusty Fletcher, radiating youth, vim and vigor, and Crackshot make a fine low comedy team. Margaret Sims and Louis Coles do a beautiful song and dance number assisted by the girls in gorgeous colonial costumes. The "Dancing Demons", including Jessie Crawford, late of "Show Boat", contribute to the gaiety of the show. Oh, what is so rare as a revue without "Laugh, Clown Laugh". Lillian Young can be forgiven anything. The Chinese scene approaches perfection. Margaret Sims is a beautiful Celestial bride; Crackshop, the would-be groom. The wedding is stopped by Dusty, as Crackshot's deserted wife. Not only funny, but NEW. Lillian Young and the chorines do Low Down. There is a skit—then the black-out. It's a surprise. Dusty's monologue, except for a fine imitation of Drake, is old, but still funny. His "Tillie" and dance stop the show. Lomax and Johnson are the finest team presented for a long time. Besides playing the piano and dancing; they sing jazz and operatic numbers with equal facility. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever" applies to their singing of "Roses of Picardy." ```markdown ``` The LINCOLN and Jimmy Marshall present "Harlem to Spain"—a riotous comedy. The one and only Jackie Mably as the wardrobe mistress is—well, everybody knows Jackie. Clint and Marie, Dixie Nightingale duet Rockaby Blues. A perfect team. Teddy and Blinky, boy musicians, one playing with a tumbler and spoon, make a big hit, Paulis and Darrell prove that they are the aristocrats of Dance. The inimicable Jackie has everything the audience wants. They won't let her go. Jimmy and his assistant, Louis Dandridge, versatile golden-voiced dancer, take the company to Spain. What a handsome Captain is popular Monte Hawley. Jimmy Ferguson does his specialty and how! His dice game is a wow. Katherine Jarvis. Dinah Scott and the lovely senoritas do some fine stepping, assisted by Pugg's Hot Six. And how Teddy plays that guitar. Jackie and Ferguson win the show playing dice. Hats off to Jimmy Marshall. *** The ALHAMBRA offers "Read 'em and Weep', in Speedy Smith's hotel. The opening—well, better see it for yourself. Mandy is the clerk, and John Mason and Ted Blackman are bell boys. Mary Dixon, sweetest blues singer, leads "Louisiana Blues". Mae Brown vamps Speedy. Clara Bow has nothing on Mae. Lillian Yuen, newcomer, does some fine specialty dances. Mandy leads the girls in "Cause I'm in Love". Then "A Devil in Skirts", very well done. Al Watts is an inventor, father of Fannia Lane and Charles Olden. Handsome Ted Blackman is a reporter whose sweetheart is the clever little girl, Artie Cain, who stepped out of the chorus into a difficult character role last week. Captain Edward Thompson outwits the spies. Lawrence Criner and Susie Sutton, who pay with their lives. Back to the revue:—dainty Edna Young and the girls do "It's Wonderful". Latest and best comedy team is our Mandy and John, Mason. Hot Stuff Howard and Mae Brown give everybody a treat. A classy team. What kind of a business meeting is that? Not business-like, but screamingly funny. Everyone helps. And that quartet! Don't miss it. Earl Dancer's Protest EARL Dancer dropped into the Tattler office red hot under the collar about the article that appeared in the Inter-State Tattler last week, relative to his dishonesty. He vehemenaly protested against the charges that he had deceived his people and claims the responsibility rests with Lafayette Theatre and Mr. Frank Schiffman. He said in part: "I think that the Tattler was unfair to me and should have gone to the trouble to verify the accuracy of the statements made last week. Here's the supplementary contract that shows that the Lafayette Theatre and F. Schiffman are responsible for the payment of my people's salary and the costumes, regardless of how much money he gave me". Here the Earl showed the contract in question, which reads in part: "It is specifically agreed between the parties hereto that the party of the second part will pay the salaries of the cast employed by the party of the first part in presenting the within described theatrical entertainment, and will also pay a sum of $750.00 to the Brooks Costume Company.

My trying to put your feet on solid gro I AM in receipt of the following letter from Mr. Jules (erstwhile "Julius") Bledsoe, one of the big guns of Show Boat. Dear Sid: I think a little peep into my scrap book would be of some assistance to you in giving correct appraisals of my work and my contribution. And furthermore it isn't customary and is of decided bad taste to name one's understudy before the one portraying the role. Mr. Haynes happens to be my understudy and Mr. Robeson happens to be playing the role that I created and sold to America some seven or eight months ago. I am merely trying to put your feet on solid ground for your own sake. I wonder, has Mr. Bledsoe been under Post? Now, that I have that out of my more dirty cracks. Mr. Bledsoe's left instead it should be printed in 5000 of which be presented to some less ideal when he feels like telling his pet dog fooling. Average actor takes his pen in hand, holds asbestos paper. He starts off with a big but a child of God and ends up with the words he uses are not in the dictum but put them in the paper it could not read that ain't all. Itly invites the critic to meet him back on the eye. Personally, I have never noticed, demurring on the grounds of a previous engagement. But actors like One performer, after threatening his associates with artillery, assured me it was for him to come all the way from Baltimore to the nose. More recently a lady pet owner my face by temporarily using far I have managed to avoid these traveling incognito. Uses are not so lucky. Perhaps it is by believe discretion is the better part of what seems them with violent death they suffer. Sometimes the actor isn't bluffing, certain performer took a hefty swing and kisses say he didn't miss. Now the critic and his dentist is a wealthier one. Actor? I wouldn't know. I am sure, he with his fists has no bearing on his face is a good actor landing on the critic's better one. On the other hand, if he agreed that left hook he is still a ham. He is a corker by knocking a critic into love he is a ruffian. Critic's opinion of the actor cannot be a opinion of himself by recourse to bible nose that all actors hereafter adopt M. King the critic told. At bottom, of course, is more effective than trial by combat. Mr. Bledsoe still thinks he's a good actor writer. Nevertheless, his method of opinion has obvious advantages. This letter without running afoul of the I am glad to do it because it fills space column done. That gets his squawk the man writes his column. Several the several thousand people buy the paper he knows his publicity. But what please he does not threaten to annihilate the necessity of doubling my bodyguard. M. Jules, doff my derby to him and French kiss. How long, I wonder, has Mr. Bledsoe been understudying the role of Emily Post? Now, that I have that out of my system, I won't make any more dirty cracks. Mr. Bledsoe's letter does not deserve any. Instead it should be printed in 5000 copies each and every one of which be presented to some less gifted actor to use as a model when he feels like telling his pet critic where to get off. No fooling. When the average actor takes his pen in hand to write a squawk he needs asbestos paper. He starts off with calling the critic everything but a child of God and ends up with climbing his family tree. The words he uses are not in the dictionary and if the critic should put them in the paper it could not go through the mails. And that ain't all. He frequently invites the critic to meet him back stage and receive a bat in the eye. Personally, I have never accepted any of these invitations, demurring on the grounds of inadequate acquaintance or a previous engagement. But actors are nothing if not obliging. One performer, after threatening to demolish one of my associates with artillery, assured me it would be no trouble at all for him to come all the way from Baltimore to give me a poke in the nose. More recently a lady performer has promised to honor my face by temporarily using it for a cuspidor. So far I have managed to avoid these honors and decorations by traveling incognito. Some critics are not so lucky. Perhaps it is better to say they do not believe discretion is the better part of valor. When an actor threatens them with violent death they seek him out and call his bluff. Sometimes the actor isn't bluffing. Only the other day a certain performer took a hefty swing at a critic's jaw. Eye witnesses say he didn't miss. Now the critic is a sadder and wiser man and his dentist is a wealthier one. And the actor? I wouldn't know. I am sure, however, that his proficiency with his fists has no bearing on his ability as a performer. If he is a good actor landing on the critic's chin did not make him a better one. On the other hand, if he was a ham before he delivered that left hook he is still a ham. A bad actor cannot prove he is a corker by knocking a critic in the mouth. He can only prove he is a ruffian. Since the critic's opinion of the actor cannot be reconciled with the actor's opinion of himself by recourse to billingsgate or fisticuffs I propose that all actors hereafter adopt Mr. Bledsoe's method of getting the critic told. At bottom, of course, trial by ettiquette is no more effective than trial by combat and playing the dozens. Mr. Bledsoe still thinks he's a good actor. I think he's a good letter writer. Nevertheless, his method of airing our difference of opinion has obvious advantages. I can print his letter without running afoul of the Post Office authorities and I am glad to do it because it fills space and helps me to get the column done. That gets his squawk over to the reader. Only one man writes his column. Several thousand read it. Anyhow several thousand people buy the paper. I suspect this man Bledsoe knows his publicity. But what pleases me most is the fact that he does not threaten to annihilate me, thus relieving me of the necessity of doubling my bodyguard. For this boon I feliciate M.

Prompt Service Open Evenings The celebrated Moses family contribute to the marvellous beauty of Harlem's feminine eloquence with the debut of Ethel and Lucia, but we are more and more thrilled with ecstacy in the advent of Julia, the junior member of the exquisite trio. She, beyond doubt lays the heavier claim to pulchritude. Her presence in the line of Blackbirds is indeed wonderful. It is a fact that Paul Meeres of Paradise Revue receives on the average of a dozen mash notes a night, and no end of telephone calls—Dear Lord, please make me tall and handsome and teach me to dance the Tango. A cunning woman is a knavish fool, and she often ends in the deep river of adversity, and again it is with painful reluctance that we are forced to relate other inhibitions of our little sob sister Hazel Anderon Sheppard. This time in Berlin, Germany, comes a story that she is nursing a black eye from the hands of Elizabeth Brown, administered in a dressing room at the Ufa Palast Theatre. Rumors have it that the affections of Willie Lewis, the singing musician, were at stake. All the gang in Berlin is looking for a cable from Clarence Robinson and his Company, as to when they will arrive. A certain saxaphone player in Woodings Band is trying to get matters straightened, as his sweet mama is with Clarence and he has two already, over there.

It is the natal date of the popular Billie Cain. Incidentally Billie and her mother have the same birthdays, and their well-equipped household utilize every means and expense to entertain the invited guests beyond compare. In reference to popularity, the junior hostess Billie, is beyond doubt New York's most popular chorine, now in Ziegfield's "Show Boat". Besides a number of personal greetings and telegrams Billie was recipient of a beautiful diamond ring from one of her many suitors, and various other gifts, including many flowers. To those who have attended a Billie Cain party it is needless to offer you a description, and to others it can be said that if you desire to enjoy what it means to really have the time of your life, try to get a bid to one of hers.

Williams Cliffords, better known in the society world as Rhetta and Jay, are being highly complimented by their many friends for their exquisite artistic taste in the design and decoration of their cosy apartment located in the fashionable section of Manhattan Avenue. Again, Harold Curtis Brown, the clever genius of the Tattler staff has demonstrated his unique ability with the brush and is responsible for the brilliant artistry. Greenwich Village could hardly excel this rare specimen, and visitors find it quite pleasing to their taste. * * * A surprisingly comely little beauty from the remote spot of Peekskill, N.

James Robinson, can hand you such a raw deal so often? That proves that "Love is Blind" to a multitude of faults. Betty Wilson is in love and we are wondering which musician it is now. It looks like it might be a "Drummer". Which band? Eva Metcalf, why must you pound the pavements around Connie's Inn? We know the "Why" Girlie. Ha, ha! The sweet little Jimmie Baccus—you can easily tell from her fair countenance that precision is a requisite of her profession. Now can't you.

If you notice a chubby Chrysler roadster with a svelt maiden—with a wicked toe pressing the accelerator it is Miss Lawrence Smith. She's enjoying the Riverside-Concourse-Speedway spins immensely. Ask Elizabeth Anderson, Irene, Gertrude and Vivian Goodwin. They all have a weakness for D. D.'s and D. D. S.'s. --- Automobiles are lovely luxuries during these sultry warm evenings. They are good subjects and if they could only talk they could tell some wonderful stories. Some know where they came from and some do not know was acquired. However the tantalizing acquired.

However, Earl Jones made things over there quite lively when he "pitched" a party in honor of the Midnight Rounders.

BLAZING THE TRAIL Alvin J. Moses. "TAKING THE FAMILY ON" METHY'S pet, George Godfrey, recently won Bob Roper and lick him, thus completing a fight fighting brothers. This incident is reminiscent of Johnson's stunts. Three years before, he tousled head of chunky Tommy Burns and Jim, an ex-heavy-weight monarch. Figure 10 goes lucky fashion, Johnson merely toyed his brother who was nearly as large as a springman. Stung by some retort fired at the city of ring second to the other fighting brother, he dropped his burly opponent with a wide cold as a wedge. Mr Jeffries almost fell into the waiting arm of Jack exclaiming: "There's your Lil brother you the same way if you'll get in here well proceeded to make his famous offer to scar and the first man that emerged into the victor.

It was the Salem Crescent of McAllister through his paces that enable yckoff right up to the tape in the finals. In form that won the national 220 yard race in Los Angeles, Morse raced McAllister in red brushes, and fans who crowded McCallister that Roy, on several occasions, was scarer at Amsterdam in the spanking for the century. Roy is still capable of shorthair fight performers of today, but is involved in a sprint series that requires from three of the fear of pulled tendons, etc. JIMMY DOUGHETHY'S pet, George Godfrey, recently offered to take on Captain Bob Roper and lick him, thus completing the entire round of the family of fighting brothers. This incident is reminiscent of one of John Arthur Johnson's stunts. Three years before Jack lifted the crown from the tousled head of chunky Tommy Burns, he met Jack Jeffries brother Jim, an ex-heavy-weight monarch. Fighting in his accustomed happy go lucky fashion, Johnson merely toyed with the boiler maker's younger brother who was nearly as large as Jeff himself, but not as good a ringman. Stung by some retort fired at him by brother Jim in his capacity of ring second to the other fighting member of the family, Johnson dropped his burly opponent with a wicked uppercut in the 5th heat as cold as a wedge. The younger Jeffries almost fell into the waiting arms of his shaggy haired brother, Jack exclaiming: "There's your Lil brother, Mr. Jeffries, and I'll serve you the same way if you'll get in here with me." Jeffries was furious and proceeded to make his famous offer to take Johnson down into a cellar and the first man that emerged into the ozone would be declared victor. Johnson declined with thanks,—he was by far the better business man of the two, and would countenance no meeting that didn't bring some sort of remuneration. Combination wrestler-boxer that he was, and one of the strongest professional men that ever lived we are inclined to the belief that Jack would have licked the Californian in a rough and tumble affray. Five years after licking the weaker member of the family, Johnson received the opportunity to prove his big words in the nature of a ring battle with Jim Jeffries himself. Public clamor, plus a purse (his own end) of $120,000 that Tex Rickard dangled before his eyes, induced Jeff to come out of a six year voluntary retirement to retrieve the laurels won by the giant Black warrior—Johnson. The result is history. Jack, fairly slaughtered the conqueror of poor old Peter Jackson, finally causing Rickard, who refereed as well as promoted the bout, to halt the one-sided contest in the 15th round. MORSE PRIMED BOB McALLISTER ROY E. MORSE, one the toast of athletic fans throughout the country and conqueror of Howard Drew, Alvah T. Meyer, and other celebrated national champions, anxiously awaits Bob McAllister's showing in the Olympic sprint tests. It was the Salem Crescent ace, who night after night put McAllister through his paces that enabled the "Flying Cop" to race Wyckoff right up to the tape in the finals at the tryouts. Running in the form that won the national 220 yard crown for him back in 1915 at Los Angeles, Morse raced McAllister right up to the tape in this speed brushes, and fans who crowded McCombs Dam Park informed the writer that Roy, on several occasions, was a yard in front of our color bearer at Amsterdam in the spanking fast time of 10 seconds flat for the century. Roy is still capable of showing his heels to a lot of the first fight performers of today, but is incapable of keeping his speed in a sprint series that requires from three to four heats, to say nothing of the fear of pulled tendons, etc. SAY ITS NOT TRUE BRUCE ins in saying that Bruce Flowers, finest life group has turned out since the decline of and Leo Johnson, is dropping fights because laws of nature.

OUR BOYS FROM THE PACIFIC COAST LOS ANGELES, Cal.—Things are very quiet at present in the realm of "Hilt Block and Get Away." Around the gyms there is not that usual tenseness of interest in watching the boxers at work or the animated discussion of plans for the future, that generally takes place. Instead there is a shadow as if the manly sport was already dead and buried in California as so many think it will be after the November elections. What should be done is to get busy and save the game that means so much to the disabled veterans and that meant so much by way of both training and recreation to the boys who were facing bullets while the subsisters who agitate against boxing were gossiping instead of knitting sweaters and molly-coddles were dodging the draft. Jerry Clark, manager of Chang and a number of good boys, still wears a smile. The incomparable Blake, manager of Fidel La Barba, was watching his boy work at the Manhattan Gym Sunday with the proud look of a hen with a prize chick. Mr. Blake says Fidel only intends to take on a few shots but the boy is a born fighter, and it will be hard for him to stay quiet. Johnny Forbes, ex-athletic instructor in the King of England's own regime, reports that all his stable is doing well except that great kid, Herbie Turchi. Herbie has retired from the fistic field for a while to enter the matrimonial field. Sailor Larry who gave Bert Colima three of the greatest battles he ever had and who should right now be boxing top spots at the Olympic, says it is better to wear out than rust so if his manager, Watson Burns, won't take him East, he wants him to send him on alone. Larry is a good game boxer, fast, clever, and can take 'em, so rest assured he will give a good account of himself if given a chance back where the pickings are best right now. Francis Perry is the name of the new publicity man that the great little boy promoter Carlo Curtis has acquired to direct the zippy news that emanates from his house of action. Mr. Perry is also connected with the Lasky Studios and is one of its most valued employees. Vic Alexander was a sort of a hero around El Paso and Juarez, while training there for his battle with Tony Fuente. Vic always shows plenty of action in work-out or battle, so the fans always get a run for their money. Light "Clyde" Davis has a new manager by the name of "Pop" Zazker. Odd name but Pop seems to know his onions and is determined to get plenty of chances for Lightning to show the stuff that earned him the name he carries. Nell Clisby's large hand painting that a Los Angeles girl artist painted of him from life is finished and will be on exhibition at the various gyms and a few other public places. It is for all the world like the California thunderbolt. Harry Bubber Johnson does not seem any the worse for his long layoff; he weighs only 149 and is still the same hard puncher. Morrison Gets Assistant Doc Dorrison, head football coach at Howard, will have the capable assistance of Timothy C. Meyers, '21, for the ensuing season. Meyers, well known in football circles, as the star quarterback of the Lions during Fritz Pollard's regime, comes to Howard from Tuskegee where he served three years as assistant to coach Abbott. AL MOSES' PROTEGE GOES OVER By Bennie Butler The Sporting Editor of this publication has developed a boy who represents the West 135th Street Y. M. C. A. Branch, who bids fair to become a great figure in the boxing world. Under the able tutelage of Alvin J. Moses, who rates among the best in the country as an instructor of the manly art of self defense, Al Gibbs, 147 pounder, who intends to turn professional during the fall, is setting the woods afire. Gibbs, who is depicted here in his THE BOXING CLUB favorite fighting poise, is a wonderfully clever boxer, possesses a rare fighting head, and hits like the rear end of an Alabama mule. Moses, worked patiently with Gibbs for close to six months showing him how to carry his hands, and the value of a fast lefthand against slow footed opponents. Some of his victims in the amateur ranks are: Knocked out Harry Nugent of Beecher's gym. Larry Burns of Yager's gymnasium, Tony Beilli (unattached) in 2 rounds. Emil Dodge of the Ozone Athletic Club, Harry Davy of the Knights of St. Anthony. Gibbs, defeated Harry Campbell of the Snanahan Athletic Club State Penna champion on two occasions. Mr. Moses will look after Gibbs when he makes his professional debut. Page Bleven CUBAN STARS DOWN LINCOLN GIANTS IN TWO HECTIC GAMES CUBAN STARS DOWN LINCOLN GIANTS IN TWO HECTIC GAMES 1. The Cuban Stars who haven't been defeated since July 4, won two hectic games from the Lincoln Giants at the Catholic Protectory Oval Sunday afternoon, July 22. In the first game the Cubans used four pitchers and the Lincolnns three; the visitors won in the ninth inning by a score of 19-16. They won the second contest 6-5. In winning these two games, they chalked up a record of 18 straight victories. The Lincoln Giant pitching staff was a bit off form, and the visitors started the afternoon's work by hitting the offings of "Nip" Winters to all parts of the field. He was forced to retire in the fifth inning and Thomas, the former Trenton High School pitcher, took the mound for three innings. Rector had to pitch the last inning. The Cubans were also hard put for pitchers. Oscar started the game but before it was over, Brangaga, San and Juanello had been on the mound. The heavy hitting included two home runs by Oms and other home runs by Oscar and Scales. In the second game, the Lincoln made three of their five runs by the home run route—Rector, Lewis and Spearman getting circuit clouts. But a bad first inning gave the visitors a lead the home team was unable to overcome. Another big attraction will be brought to this park next Sunday when the Bacharach Giants meet the Lincoln Giants in a double header. The Bacharachs have been going in championship style lately. A complete score of the second game was as follows: Cuban Stars ..3 2 0 1 0 0—6 Cuban Stars .....3 2 0 0 1 0 0—6 Lincoln Giants ..2 0 1 2 1 0 0—5 Stolen base—Herrara, 2. Home runs—Spearman, Rector and Lewis. Three base hit—Solis. Two base hits—Herrara and Fernandez. First base on balls—off San 2; off Rector 2. Struck outs—By San 5; by Rector 1.

The bride, beautiful in white satin and lace, was led to the altar under a bower of seasonable flowers on the arm of her father, Mr. Joseph Haynes. Miss Josephine Haynes, sister of the bride, was maid of honor while Mr. Spurgeon Bradley was best man. The bride's mother looked stately in a black lace gown with girdle of brilliants. Immediately after the ceremony the guests were served by the competent Holland Co. Soon came the time for the newly-weds to depart for their honeymoon in Atlantic City.

ATLANTIC CITY THE HOTEL By Julia Goens ANOTHER busy week-end has passed. The hot wave in the nearby cities sends them to our popular city for relief. The boulevard was one continuous line of incoming and outgoing cars, the beach was well filled with bathers and onlookers as well as those just there to enjoy the sea breezes. The preference of bathers seems still to be the one piece suit whether they are becoming or not. A few, however we see in taffetas and others in silk garments that are very becoming. The beach robes are very flashy, I notice. Then there are the coolie jackets, the bright colored silk robes and once in a while you will see a pajama beach suit.

I am lonely and would be pleased to meet a congenial young lady from dear old London. Having a situation in New York, I know quite a bit of New York life, atmosphere, wholesome entertainment and society. I am fond of baseball and tennis and in the event the lady is interested in either, I would be very pleased to accompany her to such, or probably she would see me play tennis. Of course I am a high school graduate and I carry a good name and try to be careful when with with the girls, for I have four lovely sisters, and would endeavor to treat a good sweet girl just as I would like to have them treated. For your convenience I enclose a late radio photo of myself. On next week I'm having some larger life portraits made which later can be sent for your approval. Certainly I would be pleased to correspond with the London girl and upon her arrival in New York, meet her. Very sincerely, etc. ```markdown ``` A farmer in the Middle West, having a passion for Eastern folk sends us this: "Would like to meet a lady from Boston or the New England States where they roll their "r's' softly like the French and give their "a's' broad, as do the English.

HAVE you ever been to one of those small town carnivals where they set up telescopes on the corners and let you look at the world for one thin dime? That's about what we'll have to do today. The Carnival is in a Big Town; the telescope is the Seventh Avenue Bus and the thin dime can go clicking into the murderous looking instrument the conductor aims at you somewhere above one hundred and twenty-fifth street. For one must indeed look for Washington in New York this summer. Everybody seems to be here, studying something. Such ambition in this sweltering heat! I, who am idle for the first time in my life, gaze with amazement upon my friends who sit in this Torrid Zone and write essays on "The Left Eyebrows of Certain Bipeds Found in the Polar Regions" or "A Study of the I. O. of New York Children who eat six ice cream cones per day." * * * I wandered into the "Y" restaurant for lunch. Indeed, I might as well confess that I wanted a piece of watermelon and was possessed of a Eugene Gordon inhibition. Kitty Bruce, Ruth Harris and Lanier Price were nibbling at delectables between classes and looking as much at home as the Indian on an old penny. Misses Simmons and Shackelford were talking so much about morons that I began to feel uncomfortable. Later we ran into Catherine George and Alice Bell, who bunk together at Dr. Julia Coleman's 130th Street Mansion. They were berating platoons and upholding departments. My eye! The erudition of that crowd quite swamps me. * * * It was such a relief to run into Bessie Russell at Bamboo Inn. Here we were on common ground. We ate Chinese horrors and saw some ultramodern dancing and were tickled to death to see Chipple Berry drop in. * * * Talking with Alleyne Harris and a couple of Shieks on Seventh Avenue, we soon had a little Washington reception. Gallant Dr. Pete Murry passed by and gave us the time of day (or was it night? This daylight saving has me stopped.) Bob Nance actually came by without Horace Scott and Tommie Blandford chatted a bit on his way to a fish shop. (Now don't ask me anything about that.) * * * Mamie Briggs threw a party for us: got it all up in about an hour. The speed of these New Yorkers just cramps my style. I'm always having to explain that Washington is a quiet, twelve o'clock town. Bob Douglass showed how slow the original Washingtonians are by coming in just as we were saying "Adios". Bessye Beardon was there in her gorgeous robes. Dr. Mary Jane Watkins, elegant Bertha Cotton, the unvampable Ed Perry, Jules Bledsoe and many others. But after Jules came in, we didn't see any one else. And by the way, don't be content with that Victor Record of "Old Man River." Get the score of Show Boat and play over that strain "Take me away from the Mississippi" — and then hear Jules sing it and girl! you'll know why I don't remember anything more about the party. Speaking of which, some one got so intoxicated over Jule's singing that they got hilarious on the way home. So we had to drive out to the Grand Concourse and Jule's sister. Miss Cobbs, had to calm the party. * * Dr. John Rector is here on a visit to his wife, Mercedes and I understand that he brought along with him his usual line of anecdotes.

And it's going to be some "Party" and how. Most of Broadway will be up in Harlem on that Wednesday nite in question and "How". Lew Leslie and his "Black Birds of 1928" will lead the invading hosts from the gay "White Lights" and good old reliable "Bo', the one and only Bill Robinson, will lead the Black Birds. Following close on the heels of the "Bojangles" and the Black Birds will be the members from "Show Boat" with their glorious little standard bearer. Miss Alma Smith, whom all Broadway is backing to a man. And, as they say about the 50,000 Frenchmen, ditto for Broadway. Yep, you're right: "All Broadway Can't Be Wrong". But at any rate they're back of the popular little favorite almost to a man. Alma Smith Rosie Swain William Bojangles Robinson William Bojangles Robinson Miss Smith, who is one of the leading contestants in the big popularity drive, is a sure winner according to Broadway and they are betting on their favorite to win in a driving finish. We said that Alma was one of the leading contestants, when we should have said that she was the leading contestant. As we go to press, Miss Smith has a comfortable lead over her nearest rival. But neither Miss Smith nor her cohorts are taking any chances at this stage of the game. They expect an eleventh hour attempt to steal the honors and they are working with grim determination. "Alma's Gotter Win, Alma's Gotter Win" is their slogan and they are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to put Alma across. Their two most dangerous rivals are Miss Mae Brown of the Savoy, who they believe is holding back most of her votes in reserve and little Rosey Swain, the society favorite. So far, Miss Brown has received little if any help from the Savoy and the Alma Smith supporters feel that the Savoy will aid their entry in the final stages of the campaign. So it would not surprise them if Mae Brown turns loose four or five millions votes next week. Miss Swain is the second dangerous rival whom Alma and her supporters are watching closely. The popular little society lady has a host of admirers and she is apt to turn in a heavy vote within the next few days. But back to the big "Bon Voyage Party" at the Savoy Wednesday evening, August 8th. We have another big surprise for you. Johnny Hudgins wrote us that he's coming on for the big affair with his beautiful and popular wife, Mildred Johnny has been setting Europe a fire, proving a sensation wherever he has played. And now he's heading for home. He sent us a gang of clippings from the foreign newspapers which, after much difficulty, Mac Brown Mayme Lewis and Frances Garvin are here. I have missed seeing Robbie Brown Lofton, so far, and that, of course, takes some of the joy out of the City for me. Margaret Smith is sporting a new car and Ann McCary is bucking the real estate game with true sportsmanship and real success. Don't know when I'll write you again, Caladi, but ask the Washington Monument to stand firm until my return. Leb Wohl, HUDGINS ATTEND TATTLER'S AGE PARTY" AT THE SAVOY and everything is in order for the serious, as the ebony gentlemen would Wednesday nite, August 8th at the State Tattler's "New York to Paris" parity contest, will be tendered a big going to be some "Party" and how.

But at any rate they're almost to a man. Rosie Swain Bojangles Johnson we have succeeded in having translated. So our Big "Bon Voyage Party" will also be in the nature of a "Welcome Home Party" to the Hudgins, Johnny and Mildred. Say, but it'll sure be SOME PAR-TEE and how. What with the one and only "Bojangles" leading the frolic, we'll all have a Hellofa Good Time. There'll be joy enough for all and then some more. And don't forget that it will be the "Meeting of Broadway and Harlem". There'll be a mob of white theatrical folks present whose names we can't mention because of their contracts, which forbid them appearing in public. But the one and only Bojangles will be there and that's enough for these white star actors and actresses from the big theatres downtown. They have given their word and they, like all the rest of us, will be out for an evening's frolic and a thrill, such as can be found in Harlem only, for white folks. As for our own stars, Mr. Lew Leslie has promised that he and his entire company will be out. That means in addition to Bojangles, Adelaide Hall, Ada Ward, Crawford Jackson. Tim Moore, Mantan Moreland, Wilton Crowley, Miss "Billie" Cortez, Ruth Johnson, "Snakehips Tucker, Marjorie Hubbard, Elizabeth Welch Lloyd Mitchell, Blue McAllister, George Cooper and all the rest of the "Birds" too numerous to mention. Then from "Show Boat" in addition to Alma Smith will come, Bessie Allison, Elidia Webb, Rose Gilliard, "Billie" Cain, Catherine Peace, Dorothy Bellis, Theresa Gentry, Jules Bledsoe and Vivian Brooks, Bdanche Thompson, Henrietta Lovelace, Jessie Crawford, Ethel Sheppard and about fifty odd more, white and colored. Another aggregation will come in from "Porgy" led by the one and only Leigh Whipper, whose names we will publish next week. * * * --- ELVERA Marjorie Smith M. O. P.

Smith is "Surrendering" to the South by appointing Northern men to all the control positions of his party the Republican party is demonstrating its loyalty to the Negro by repudiating its colored supporters in the South and favoring the lily-white factions. The indictment of Perry Howard, colored Republican national committeeman of Mississippi, is a typical case of how nobly the Republican party stands by those who have given it their unstinted support. Mr. Howard's indictment is said to be one of the stratagems of Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, the Portia of the Republican board of strategy. A Senate committee is about to move into Mississippi to investigate rumors that the Republican machine of the state has engaged in wholesale selling of federal offices. Mr. Howard's indictment will relieve him of the necessity of appearing before the committee, thus shady deals which might prove embarrassing to the party will not come to light until after the election. If they come to light after the election, Mr. Howard and not the party will be held responsible. We would not for a moment be so treasonable as to hint that the charges against Mr. Howard and other colored politicians in Mississippi is to be made a means of depriving them of their power and turning it over to lily-whites. Only democrats are ever guilty of such underhand practices. The Grand Old Party, true to its traditions, will nobly stand by those who have always stood by it.

The general opinion of the Police is, that the Colored populace take a hand in affairs whenever they attempt to take a prisoner in, regarless of the nature of the crime.

The competitors for the $2,500 prize were moved to the Savoy ballroom last Tuesday evening. I'm sure that when you read this the marathon dance will be over. To proceed, I was sorry numbers 96 and 5 were obliged to drop out. No. 5 truly believed that "true love never runs smooth." Their beliefs were obvious. Last Tuesday night No. 67, the plucky married couple, ceased their shuffling long enough to allow friend wife to break down on the ivories. Quite a versatile lady to say the least. No. 5 told me she had been wanting to come to the Savoy for some time and by jingoes she was there. Well, the marathon had its good points as well as its bad—and regardless of the sense of this and the sense of that I think we all enjoyed it. We "cullud" folks broke the record anyhow. Look who is back in town. None other than the sweet pretty Miss Marie Mahood. Miss Mahood is a popular young school teacher of New York and is here visiting the Charming Mrs. Jessica Anderson Rogers. Miss Margaret Wright of Kansas City is also paying a visit. Miss Wright is attending summer school and during her spare moments is enjoying our social whirl to the utmost. Dr. Mary F. Waring motored up to Woodland Park last Monday morning to open up her cottage. She plans a return trip soon and anticipates a most delightful vacation. This bit of information really should be in headlines. But 'scuse me please I forgot Paul Jones (the blonde) has a job and is working. Now isn't that a lovely thing?

Her daughter, Mrs. Harold Tyler, looked more bewitching than ever in a green crepe de chine frock, the skirt entirely embroidered in roses. The guest prize, a carved silver vase, was presented to Mrs. Yerby by Mrs. Geo. Cleveland Hall, the president of the Century Whist Club. Then Mrs. Hall, in her own gracious way, welcomed Mrs. Yerby back to her friends again. The guests were Mesdames Florence Watkins, Florence Johnson, T. M. Smith, Harold Tyler, Robert Church, Eva Lewis, Frankie Hill, Goldie Bibb, Mabel Johnson, Norma Sweisch, Chas. Shaw, Rivers, Daisy Kennedy, Patrick Prescott, Nettle French Cook, Edna French, Howard, Ruth Anderson, Bertha Lewis, Emmett J. Scott and Miss Hortense Hall. Mrs. Hueston Sweisch also entertained last Tuesday morning with a breakfast honoring Mrs. Harold, Mrs. Emmett J. Scott and Mrs. Wm. J. Yerby. Mr. John Hall 3rd of Boston, Mass., is in town. He is doing some work at the Dailey hospital. I say doing some work because I'm not so very sure what it is. However, he is in medical school in Philadelphia so it pertains to the medico man's business. We just have to have all these Eastern folks visit us—they talk so divinely—dance so heavenly—and they are just lovely things—dontcha know. A bit of news to the New York editor—Mrs. Elizabeth Benjamin Gandy will be in New York during the month of August. The charming Miss Betty is going to Boston then to Cleveland and then she will come to Chicago. Yes she is going to visit me and I'm tickled pink. Received a letter from that red hot Laurabelle Robinson. She will be here the second week in August. I thought you would be interested. Miss Kathryn Crum Jones has decided to join this too tight neighborhood of ours and is living at 5054 Calumet Ave. You must come ovah! Miss Vaughngell Ragland of Madison, Wis., who has been visiting Miss Marian Shaw of 221 East 53rd Street, returned home after a delightful stay of several weeks. A certain young man on South Parkway, near 48th Street is very sad since Miss Ragland departed. The many friends of Miss Jojo Wicks are very pleased to see her out again, after being confined to her home for a week. For your approval I'm going to let you read a fascinating missive I received from Miss Billie Kyle. It's too good to keep. So here 'tis. I am a Stenographer. * * * ★ ★ ★ ```markdown ``` 宋宋宋 * * * 安安安 *** ☆ ☆ ☆ ```markdown ``` I can spell a word in six different ways. I like Hank Mencken, Alec Dumas, Tom Hardy, Struth Burt, Bert Russell, Countee Cullen, Andy Gump, Charles Farrell and Jack Dempsey. I can play, "How Long, "Was It a Dream", and "Ramona" in Beech-nut flat accompanied by Underwood. I have given a wrath answer and turned away soft. I have learned why so many business men's wives get divorces. I applied for job as Gregg operator, but did not know I had to be a Spiritual Advisor. I am a typical 9-er to 5-er. I get the "L" down town every morning and get the "L" back in the evening and I do not give my seat to elderly ladies, but wish someone else would. I do not wear flat heeled shoes, round white collars, or spectacles. I have made ugly faces at every man in my office and when asked "why", reply, "because I like you." I draw my salary on the number of mistakes I make, and a smile. I earn a living wage. I am five feet two—eyes of brown. I was to send a letter to Schenectady, N. Y. I couldn't spell it. I sent it to Troy. The people in my office think I'm cute. I do too. I still talk back and am surprised that I'm still here. The Lion and the Mouse. I can make 35 on the writer with only ten errors. I am efficient. I admire the handsome young brick-layers in their working clothes and think how wonderful they must look in Tuxedoes. I am very clumsy, falling on someone daily in the cars. I weigh 105. I use slang and blush ever so well when corrected by interested intelligentsias. I like violets, electricity, caramels and champagne. I did not run to the window when Lindy flew in. I do not read Elinor Glynn, nor Bad Girl. I hate people with cars and beaded bags. I love myself. Signed this 17th day of July, 1928. BILLIE-JEANNE KYLE. * * * Had for my dinner guests Sunday. Dr. and Mrs. Sheppard Acrec, and Dr. Harry C. Hines. Mrs. Acree was the George Taylor before her marriage last summer. ** I know that you think that I am crazy and that is just what I am. But I was just sitting down here at Bessie's and was thinking over my "Art" so I thought I would let you know what I was doing in my profession. It is a great life if one doesn't weaken, but you know I am not very strong. (Hiccough) that Albuquerque laugh). Dis racket is all right, baby, but I don't want dis noise all my life. Ya old friend. BILLIE * * * The Apex Club was the scene of another tragedy last week. Walter Burton, one of the managers, was fatally shot by one of the patrons. The killer was caught almost immediately on 35th Street, a few doors from the Club. The mob nearly took the law in their own hands and beat Arthur Jay, the killer, to death. *** If such tragedies continue the night clubs of Chicago will have to institute the policy of the patrons checking their guns and razors at the door; * * * The dining room of the Hotel Frenier has been newly decorated, in Spanish style. It looks very artistic and the food served there is delicious. ```markdown ``` Maurice Dancer, brother to the famous Earl Dancer, is publicity man for "Good News". He is in Detroit this week. Next week he moves with the show to Toronto, Canada. The Footlights LAXBOY ONE Hours. Still going strong. What and money is making two couples day, in the marathon dance. Who even be" certainly was a great philosopher, Anyone who punishes his body, and hours for a paltry sum and a little guess the old philosopher was right, FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-ONE Hours. Still going strong. What fools we mortals be. Fame and money is making two couples slowly kill themselves, at the Savoy, in the marathon dance. Who ever exclaimed, "What fools we mortals be" certainly was a great philosopher, whether he realized it or not. Anyone who punishes his body, and chances his health dancing 481 hours for a paltry sum and a little publicity is foolish. Nevertheless I guess the old philosopher was right, we all are a little foolish at times. Calumet Avenue, this week Evon Robinson is presenting "My Friend From Kentucky," by the late J. Lubrie Hill; the greatest musical comedy ever produced. Mr. Hill who wrote the lyrics, book and music and staged the production was without a peer in the profession, a developer, an inventor and in fact, a creative genius. No musical comedies have been produced since his passing to equal "My Friend From Kentucky," according to musical critics from New York City. Events begin on a Virginia plantation and trend swiftly along through an atmosphere, rollicking with roaring comedy and now, catchy melodies, from plantation to "high" society in Washington. In the libretto, the composer has given the theatre-going public a nicely constructed and developed story one that really contains a plot—and has also supplied an elegant combination of good laughing comedy. While the comedy wraps you in a quilt of laughter, the music is also so melodious that one finds himself whistling the tunes instantaneously. At the Metropolitan Theatre the first of this week is Adolph Menjou in "His Tiger Lady". The middle of the week the feature is "A Thief In the Dark", a spooky, thrilling murder mystery. The latter part of the week is filled out with Conrad Nagel in "Diamond Handcuff" and the famous Lon Chancy picture "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Of course Erskine Tate and his celebrated Orchestra carries on as usual. Ethel Moses who has been sick is convalescing. Her many friends are glad to see her up and around again. Ethel's buddy, Evelyn Irving, quit "Rang Tang" to stay in Chicago and nurse her.

O. sign. *** While Miller and Lyles are the leading lights, the cast of supporting talent is something to shout about. Revella Hughes is the popular soprano of "Still Shufflin'." She returns to the Regal to the joy of the thousands who thundered their applause only a few weeks ago when she held them spellbound. * * * Charlie Davis, the dance master of the Regalettes, and amazingly light of foot himself is doing the unusual by dancing in the show besides training the augmented ballet. He formerly costarred with Miller and Lyles in the never-to-be-forgottent success 'Shuffle along.' * * * Joyce Robinson and 'Rookie' Davis are two comely misses who are compliments to any society of fine entertainment. The mixed singing chorus of boys and girls grace the breadth of the stage with snappy, intricate steps, and fill the auditorium with well harmonized songs. * * * Fess Williams' Jazz Joy Boys, hotter than ever bring the total of the company to fifty people. *** Clara Bow in "Ladies of the Mob" is the picture which shares the program with the Miller and Lyles stage show. It is a powerful melodrama and the first role other than flaming flapper roles that the attractive Clara has ever assumed. Because of the extreme length of "Still Shufflin'" and "Ladies of the Mob," the usual added attractions such as overtrue, news and organ solos is curtailed.
