J. The double tragedy, murder and suicide, shocked sporting circles wherein the popular couple were known. The double shooting occurred about 8 o'clock in the morning and was the culmination of a bitter argument which had been going on for some hours. Hawes, according to the police, had beaten the woman severely about the head with a heavy bottle. Mrs. Randolph states that to some extent, Hawes was under the influence of liquor. She describes the affair as follows: I was on the ground floor when I heard Flossie scream and a second or two later she came rushing down the stairs, her head cut and bleeding from blows delivered by "Bullie" with the bottle. The bottle must have broken, for jagged pieces of glass were plainly visible in her hair. He was right at her heels and she was wildly calling for help I was terribly frightened.

The double shooting occurred was the culmination of a bitter affair for some hours.

The body pieces of glass were plainly visible heels and she was wildly calling But I somehow plucked up courage to step between them. I called to "Bullie" to let her alone. Then he whipped out a gun and fired almost point blank at Flossie, who staggered, stopped and then slowly crumpled to the floor, with an agonized look of startled fear. Hawes took one look at her, then turned, ignoring me completely and rushed back upstairs. A minute or two later I heard another shot and then all was quiet. I was terribly shaken and for a few minutes almost completely paralyzed with fear. There lay poor Flossie almost at my feet, dead, with that awful look upon her face and staring eyes that seemed to be looking at something millions of miles away. Once again I pulled myself together and telephoned the police department. A half hour or so later, Chief of Police, Horace L. Byron with a number of detectives arrived and took charge. A few minutes later in came the coroner who pronounced both dead. He said that death in both cases was almost instantaneous. Mrs. Brown, sister of the unfortunate woman in an interview with a Tattler representative said: "While this terrible thing has shocked and unnerved me, yet I was not altogether surprised "Bullie" had threatened Flossie any number of times and I had warned her to be careful. For over a month he had been telling her daily that he did not intend for any other man to have her. "I'll catch you with that some night and kill you both," he told (Continued on Page 14) WINNER NEW YORK TO B Final Su FIRST PRIZ The Interstate Jattler THE The only photo that was available of the late FLOSSIE SELLERS, who was laid to rest Sunday afternoon at Asbury, N.

GERALDYN DISMOND-Managing Editor INDIGNANT MOTHER OF ADELAIDE HALL FEELS HUMILIATED Adelaiide Returns After Being Out of Show for a Performance. Leslie says "Incident Is Ridiculous After being out of the "Diga Diga Do' number in Lew Leslie's Blackbirds of 1928" at the Liberty Theatre for one performance on Wednesday night, because her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Hall, of Nashville, Tennessee, considered the dance too "barbaric, risque and her raiment too scanty to be respectable'. Adelaide Hall returned to the cast last night (Thursday), when a truce was effected between mother and producer. Miss Hall will hereafter do the "Diga Diga Do" number at every performance with this reservation she will have to reduce to a minimum the wiggles that have made this dance famous. Mrs Hail plans to act as censor and will watch the performance from the wings every night. The whole thing is ridiculous s id Lew Leslie yesterday. "Until Mrs. Hall came to see her daughter on the stage for the first time, there was no word of criticism from anybody regarding any indecency in the 'Diga Diga Do' number. It is a simple dance, if erotic, but done with grace and finesse. The reason Mrs. Hall forced her daughter to stay out of the number on Wednesday evening is because she is a very pious woman and does not go to the theatre at all. Therefore, what appeares shocking to her is in reality nothing out of the ordinary If Mrs. Hall wants to watch her daughter dance at every performance it is all right with me. If, however, she interferes again and forces her to remain out of any numbers in 'Blackbirds', I will have her forcibly ejected from my theatre". But in the meantime, Mrs. Hall is very indignant. She feels hurt about the whole matter and is determined that after her daughter's contract expires, to prevent Adelaide from appearing in any such numbers as "Diga Diga Do".

According to the investigators, the Voodoo Priests are now resorting to the practice of substituting and torturing dumb animals instead of the "Human Sacrifice" which in many cases used to baby children that the "Priests' tortured and then killed in the "Atonement". But the law and the police eventually broke this up and scattered the leaders or sent them to prison for long periods. The numerous complaints filed with the S. P. C. A. seems to indicate wanton cruelty on the part of a few vicious creatures but there is no reason to believe that Harlem is rapidly reverting back to the Voodooism and its attendant cruelty of the savages. Most of the cases reported have been acts of individuals minus all religious ceremonies, which in itself should be sufficient to discredit the claim of these wanton killings of cats and dogs. is inspired by Voodoo Priests for their "Blood-Rites". A woman whose name is withheld claims she saw a number of cruel killings. It seems that the S. P. C. A. has built its case upon her story, for she, apparently, is the only one who saw a group of people at any of these actrocities.

WALKER'S BEAUTY SHOPPES WHAT a gay whirl this week has been to most of us out here and what a colossal task it has been to apportion one's time among the numerous sunrise beach parties, smokers, theatre parties, and dinner engagements, that the week offered, and then too, there were interesting (use the term deliberately) visitors, to be met, my! my! my! what a week! A more detailed account of some of the affairs will not prove boresome, I think. --- The "smoker" of the week was given by the newly formed "billards club" at the rooms of the president, Dallas Matthewson. The rooms were uniquely decorated with vari-shaped bottles bearing the labels of "old grandad", Johnnie Walker", "Gordons' Dry", etc. The color scheme which was prevailingly red and white, was indeed effective. * * * The affair was replete with enjoyable surprises and amusing exhibitions of resurrected, ephemeral and imaginary talents by various members of the club. Believe it or not, J. R. Daniel (Dan) sang a solo, Floyd Brown made a thirty minute address on "The need of six-fotters' club at Villepique's." *** Al Hudnell gave an imitation of Ethel Waters doing a "why boys leave home" dance number. A quintette composed of Dallas Matthewson, Bennie Williams, Lloyd Jones, Cleveland and Dick Wright sang "Having our ups and downs." When I left the entire assemblage was enthusiascitally singing the "drink song" from the "Student Prince", and "Show me the way to go home", and shouting lustily, "Down with the Billiards!!!" * * * The charter members of the club are: Dallas Matthewson, Eugene Wright, Richard Smith, F. Cleveland, Bill Reid, Bennie Williams, S. Sarylett, Richard Watson, Dick Wright, Frank Holley, Althea Hud- nell, J. Goudy, Dan Daniels, J. S. Jackson, Lloyd Jones, H. Collins, Pleadgees: Everett Troy, Hiawatha Collier, John Jefferson, and Paul Butler. Honorary members: Messrs. W. Lee Smith, Wm. G. Burke, Wm. La Forte, Johnnie Baker, Preston Rocks, and Willie Williams. ```markdown ``` J. Goudy has just returned from Augusta, Georgia, where he was summoned to the bedside of his mother, Mrs. J. M. Goudy. Mr. Goudy reports that his mother's condition is much improved. *** Mrs. Eugene Wright entertained with a beach party Friday morning, honoring her week-end guests, the Misses Nadine Freeman of Brooklyn and Margaret Jackson of Harlem. * * * Among those who "dropped in' on us at the Inn during the week were: Mrs. Wm. La Forte, charming young wife of "Count" Wm. La Forte, little Billy La Forte, whose extraordinary intelligence has made him a general favorite among the fellows. Mr. and Mrs. Billy Patterson, and Miss Wilma Mason of Harlem. * * * Mr. W. Lee Smith, the dapper little matre'd at Villepigue's still heads the list of well-dressed men at the Inn. Just now he is sporting a smartly tailored tuxedo of black silk tropical cloth that is really up-to-date. I have never seen anything quite so becomingly bizarre in the way of tuxedos, but then, the chief would get something swank and different—he is just the type. * * * The "Warblers" broadcast every Tuesday and Friday evening over WMCA from eight until eighthirty o'clock. Don't forget to tune in. * * * The members of the "billiards club" are attending the "Tattlers" Bon Voyage Party, en masse—and how! We won't be hard to get, girls. LONESOME HEARTS By Jackie Nobile Note: This column is a medium through which persons may be introduced to congenial companions. No names will be published. Letters enclosing a stamp will be forwarded to persons for whom they are intended. The Tattler does not assume responsibility for the good faith of correspondents. Address Jackle Nobile, Editor of Lonesome Hearts Column, Inter-State Tattler. "If you had no one near you Who would try to cheer you, You'd be lonesome, too." Here is a pathetic one, but since, as the writer says, we all make mistakes, I feel that there is hope for our dear lonely heart who is penitently biding his time in prison. "Dear Jackie Nobile—In reading over your column each and every week, I am very interested in your work of causing so many people such great happiness. It seems very strange to some people, I suppose, how a person can be so unfortunate in life as I have been; but I am only one of the many. Each and every one is subject to mistakes, even though he may not have had the misfortune to contact such error. I am a young man of 32 and not a very bad looking chap. I wish to find a young woman of my age or older that will appreciate a man that is never going to take the wrong path again. I hope this will reach some one who can understand and not think that a man can never make good." The writer then quotes the little verse which appears at the head of this column. ```markdown ``` Harken to this, ye Appolos: "An interesting young woman, still on the beautiful side of thirty, would meet, if an opportunity presented itself, a man of good character and disposition. He must be neat and attractive, but not a ladies' man'. Prefers one who is tall. The writer is comfortably situated and not bad looking." * * * Dainty Miss appreciating the arts—music in particular—sends out a sweet note of bidding to an ideal whom she hopes to attract to herself. "I would like to meet a man who can sing and play the piano. Must be ambitious and capable; not one who hangs around clubs and begs for the crumbs from the tables of the patrons. Would be willing to assist such a one to an higher plane along his particular line. --- Marie Corelli in her "Romance of Two Worlds," has given to her heroine an invisible lover, who at her command appears to protect her at any time and any place. The lady whose letter follows, asks for a real lover who can shield her and be ever present physically—not invisible. "The writer, idealistic in temperament, is inclined to believe that she can summon to her side the man of her dreams. She also thinks that when he appears, she shall recognize him at sight. Only one who believes that he can protect and remain near her until the curtain is rung down, need apply." --- The flapper engages our attention: "Dear Jackie Nobile—I'm in quest of a real guy, one who likes to step to tunes like Melancholy Baby and The Way She loves is too bad. Must do the Charleston and all the latest dances. The young lady who pens this is considered very chic, with lots of pep and an abundance of what Elinor Glynn characterizes as "It". Photos exchanged. * * * "Young lady admires and would like to meet a gentleman who dresses in the most dashing manner. Must wear shoes with pearl buttons, suits that are not dull and sombre. Should wear hats with bright lovely hands, carry a cane and in the winter, wear beautiful yellow spats." Oh, boy!

Will be glad to hear from any gentleman who is interested." 1 Know What It Means (Dedicated to Lulu Williams) By GLADYS MARION LEE I know what it means to be tired of life— For the spirit to wake a-groaning; For the sun to set on a day of strife— That another might gain through one's living; I know what it means to give and give, And recompense naught for one's giving. I know it hurts like the thrust of .a knife When goodness is repaid by badness. For I'm tired nigh unto madness. New Colored Picture Micheaux Pictures Company of New York have started work on their 21st production, "A Fool's Errand" from the story, "Black Magic", to be directed by Oscar Micheaux, the veteran producer of motion pictures with colored actors. The cast will include: Sylvia B.rdsong, Lorenzo Tucker, G. Iuano Gertrude Snelson, Alice B. Russell, William Smith, Evelyn Mosely and others. The story details the experience of a group of Colored people who became worked up over a conspicuous leader who makes beautiful promises of a land of sunshine and ease and start back to Africa. The circumstances that come of it, make up a tale, charged with adventure, excitement—and in the end, disaster. Mary Toxin-antitoxin prevents diphtheria.

The meeting ended with a sociable game of whist and Mrs. Winifred Thompkins served a delicious refreshment. * * * At the reunion of clubs held last Wednesday evening, many representative lights of the journalistic world shone in spite of the bright orbs of Rockland Palace, 155th St. and Eighth Avenue. They were guests of the management and a nice bit of pains was taken in order that those present might have a jam-up time. There was chicken salad and punch and everything. In fact, they just had one glorious time! * * * The following persons are going to Chicago with the 4 F.'s Club to show the Windy City how the Elks put it over under Father Knickerbocker: Rosie Gilliard, Samuel Van Hurst, Ernest Fox, Billy Cain, Monk Bradkett, Bud Harris, Ernest Hunter, Bumie Keller, Ala Smith, Mary Fox, Ming Toy, Jessie Mason, Allen Gillard and John Foster. Indignant Mother of Adelaide Hall Feels Humiliated caused a great deal of excitement at the Liberty Theatre when she forcefully compelled her daughter Adelaide to come out of the spectacular number. Little Ruth Johnson had to be rushed in to save the situation and did admirably well. When interviewed by a Tattler representative, Mr. Leslie, producer and director of the 1928 "Blackbirds" said: "There is nothing wrong with the 'Diga Diga Do' as far as I can see." It is perfectly dignified and in keeping with the fine show that 'Blackbirds' is. Mrs. Hall comes from a pious southern family and is naturally shocked by something that is not at all shocking to the average playgoer. Miss Hall agrees with me that the number is perfectly proper and we intend keeping it in the show." Johnny Hudgins Returns in Time for Big "Party" Johnny and Mildred Hudgins after an absence of many months, arrived on the French Trans-Atlantic Liner, Paris, Wednesday afternoon. The internationally famous blackface patomine entertainer was met at Pier 57 at West 15th St. by a host of admirers led by representatives of the Inter-State Tattler. Mrs. Hudgins mother, Mrs. ? ? was one of the welcoming army that were on hand to give the popular entertainers a royal home greeting. The couple arrived just on the eve of the Tattler's "Big Bon Voyage Party" which will also be in the nature of a Welcome Home Reception to Johnny and his charming wife, Mildred Hudgins. Johnny and Mildred were tickled pink to be back in the good old U. S. A. again and joyfully shook hands or kissed in greeting their army of friends who crowded the pier for the home coming of the happy pair. With the arrival of the Hudgins clan, everything is now complete for the big affair at the Savoy Wednesday (to-nite) August 8. The program is an excellent one and the occasion one of the most remarkable affairs ever staged by a news medium. Interest is at a fever point and the Tattler's "Bon Voyage Party" and "Welcome Home Reception" is the talk of the town. And the reason is absolutely clear. There are few theatrical stars any more popular than Alma Smith and Johnny Hudgins. That's the answer. While some may not be willing to concede Miss Smith a star, yet the fact remains that she is a dancer par-excellent. But far away and of greater importance is the fact that Alma is a sweet and loveable girl with a host of admirers and friends. She's the candy, "Paige and Shaw" and fully worth $1,000 a pound. As for Johnny, well, there are few in the profession who stand any higher in manly qualities. Aside from the fact that he is undoubtedly the most outstanding comedian in his particular line, Johnny is a prince in the fullest sense of the word. He's a thoroughbred and one hundred percent man. He's a clean living chap, a wonderful husband and intensely loyal to his friends. And when you add his manly qualities to his ability as an artist, well, the cup of the classy little entertainer is filled to overflowing. Words fail us to describe his wonderful ability as a comedy entertainer. But, if "Imitation Is The Sincerest Form Of Flattery", then Johnny is the most highly flattered comedy entertainer of our group. Just stop and think of the many imitators of the wonderful Johnny Hudgins, who was the first of the present day comedians to successfully revive interest in the pantomine form of comedy, first made popular by the imortal Bert Williams. So Wednesday Nite, August 8 (tonite) will be a memorable occasion at the Savoy Ballroom, for in addition to the welcome reception and "Bon Voyage Party" to Johnny and Mildred Huagins, and to the "New York To Paris" Tattler Popularity Winners, there'll be a gala assemblage of theatrical folks in the many walks of the profession. There'll be producers, song-birds, comedians, musical composers and lyric writers and dancers with a host of beautiful chorines from all the leading companies and night clubs. And what's of still greater importance, good old Bill Robinson, the "Ace" of Aces will be master of ceremonies. Mr. Lew Leslie's nationally famous Black Bird of the winged feet will be out there presenting Broadway's most popular celebrities, including a host of stars from the "Black Birds", "Show Boat" and "Porgy". And in addition to this great array of celebrities, there'll be a number of white theatrical stars who will be present to give the Tattler Winners a royal send-off at the Savoy Ballroom, 140th Street and Lenox Avenue, Wednesday Nite (to-nite), August 8th. SAVOY-TOPICS WE TOLD YOU ALL about the Dorothies. They're just too bad. What with fascinating Dorothy Conyers, winner of last year's Savoy "Bathing Beauty Contest", we have four winsome little maids listed for this year's "Finals". * * * THE OTHER three are: Dorothey Turner, who won the first "Elimination Contest", July 21st. Dorothy Boyd, who copped the honors last Saturday nite (August 4th), and Dorothy Upshaw, who took third money. * * * YEP, YER GOTTER hand it to them Dorothies. They know their A. B. C.'s and arithmatic. And here's a little tip. A Dorothy is apt to cop the Savoy's big prize Friday nite, August 31st. Who knows. * * * THIS SAVOY "Elimination Contest' of last Saturday nite was the most competitive one so far. There were some red hot babies entered, including some nifty looking theatrical beauties. But neither Dorothy Boyd or Dorothy Upshaw was the least bit worried. * * * SOME ONE SUGGESTED to Dorothy Boyd to make-up. That is, to powder, rouge, paint and pencil her eye brows and lashes. But the queenly little brown just smiled and said: "Thanks dear, but I would rather win or lose just as I am." * * * HER JUDGMENT WAS sound at that. Several girls were so heavily made up until it was hard to tell what was what. And when the paint rubbed off in spots, Lordy, Lordy, what a sight. * * * NOT SO WITH THE Dorothy. You could see that she was a pure-d brown and a 'Golden Brown' at that. She wasn't the least bit ashamed of that healthy hue of brown. The little unknown beauty was satisfied to strut her stuff as nature had endowed her. ```markdown ``` AND THE CROWD SENSED her girlish pride, admired her womanly charms and GAVE HER A ROYAL OVATION. ```markdown ``` IT WAS SOME TRIUMPH for a little unknown girl. She's leaped to fame and glory over nite. Atta Baby Dorothy, we all love you and how! ★ ★ ★ AND, IF YOU COP the big prize "Little Brown Gal" we'll give you the city. Old Father Knickerbocker I'll just go wild. Lordy, Lordy and How. * * * MISS SELMA SAMPSON came between the Dorothies last Saturday nite to take second place and money with a grin. My how that child can smile. We thought that she was walking for a Camel. Some queen eh boys? *** HAVE YOU MET the "Happy Pals". Well, if you have not, please be with us Sunday nite, August 12th. Johnson's Happy Pals Orchestra will broadcast for you at the SAVOY. * * * INCIDENTLY, BRING your Pal, whether she or he is happy or not. We'll guarantee she or he will be happy after hearing this great musical combination from Richmond, Va. JOHNSON'S BOYS ARE following close on the heels of their flying reputation.

NOW SHOWING (UNTIL SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, INCLUSIVE) Sam MANNING IN THE SEASON'S LAUGH SENSATION "KEEP SCUFFLING" FEATURE PHOTOPLAY: Ladies' Night in a Turkish Bath NEXT WEEK, BEGINNING MONDAY, AUGUST 13th JOHNNY HUDGINS in "PARISIAN NIGHTS" Harlem THE LAFAYETTE Theatre has a corking good entertainment this week, in Sam Manning's new musical comedy vehicle, "Scuffle Along", presented by a cast of popular entertainers. Sam certainly has risen to greater heights not only as a revue producer but as a comedian. His work this week is superior to any of his former efforts. The work of George Snowden and Mattio Purnell, who recently won fame in the Manhattan Casino Dance Marathon, is a treat. This fancy dancing team, new to the stage, gave their interpretation of the "Lindburgh Hop" and how. But they stopped the show Monday afternoon with a dance called "Walk That Broad", a fantastic conglomeration of steps of their own creation. "Scuffle Along" in addition to the team just mentioned, has a number of others who are not so well known to Harlemites. A real treat was the dancing of Paul and Thelma Meers, a classy dancing couple who made their initial appearance to a Harlem theatre audience last Monday. But they can be seen nightly at Edwin Smalls' famous "Paradise" on Seventh Avenue near the southwest corner of 135th Street where they are entertaining. And take it from us, they're sure hot. Others in the cast who are seen to advantage are: "Frankie" Watts, Arline Brooks, Baby Hines, Bessie Guy, George Green, Gilbert Holland, and a wonderful violinist, Don Luis Carlos Varonis. Manning has presented a vehicle that excels anything presented here in months. The comedy is good, the dancing superb and the singing well up to the mark. A visit to the Lafayette Theatre this week will be found to be advantageous. It's the best entertainment we have had the good fortune to enjoy in many a day. Don't miss it. THE LINCOLN and Jimmy Marshall have the company "Back Home Again", back to Harlem, represented by the girls as the different Avenues. A jam-up opening. Andrew Tribble does one of his old favorites, assisted by Jimmy Marshall and Louis Dandridge. Duke Miller, of "Say When", and Baby Banks, of "Blackbirds", do some remarkable dancing. Just why she should try to sing is beyond me. In fact the show is full of good dancing (particularly by winsome Margaret Beckett-personality plus and Theresa Mason) and mediocre singing. Grant and Wilson, heavyweight man and wife, have a low comedy act, more low than comedy. . . When, Oh, Lord, will we rise above this sort of thing? Young Carl Becher sings "Ramona". His voice is good and should improve with work. Louis Dandridge leads the girls in "I'm Riding To Glory". Tribble's schoolmarm skit is as funny as ever. "Giggling Gertie" ends the fastest show put on at the Lincoln in several weeks. THE ALHAMBRA offers "Keep ing Cool", opening in a Girls' Seminary, conducted by the inimicable Mandy Randolph and assisted by Prof. Ted Blackman. Edna Young leads the girls in "A Wonderful Day", and Dusty Fletcher and John Mason do their Dooley falling to perfection. Johnnie Snow, blues violinist, plays very well, and sings old songs. Charles Ray leads the girls in "How Can I Live Without You". That boy has everything, including youth and a fine tenor voice. Roscoe Montella and Mandy do a married life skit. Rather slow. The drama is "The Forbidden Marriage", with several new faces appearing. Lawrence Chenault plays a retired banker, father of Fannia Laine (getting better and better), who loves bashful Charles Ray (can you blame her?). George Randall, recently with Ethel Waters, betrays Susie Sutton and frames Billy Andrews. Ted Blackman, in a clever character-role, proves the truth and everybody is happy. Back to the revue:—Berty Upshur and Lily Yuen, dancing dolls, do some fine stepping. Mason and Dusty do some figuring. Ted hires Roscoe as a prince and Dusty as an ape to entertain the Ladies' Sewing Circle. Hudgins At Lafayette Johnny Hudgins, Prince of Good Fellows and most famous of internationally-known colored comedians landed from Paris on Wednesday morning. During his long stay abroad, he scored remarkable successes in France, Germany and England. Johnny will make his first appearance in America at the Lafayette Theatre next week at the head of "Parisian Nights", a new revue produced by Leonard Harper. "Parisian Nights" has been in rehearsal for the past two weeks and Hudgins will spend the balance of this week putting the finishing touches to the scenes in which he is to take part. 5 FANNIE LANE, clever and popular dramatic artist who tenders her congratulations to Miss Alma Smith, winner of the Tattler's "New York To Paris" popularity contest. MISS LANE has made reservations for the "Bon Voyage Party" in honor of the winners, which takes place to-nite, (Wednesday, Aug. 8) at the Savoy Ballroom, Lenox Avenue and 140th Street. LEW LESLIE'S GREAT GAMBLE WON SUCCESS Lew Lslie, producer of "Blackbirds of 1928", which just celebrated its one hundredth performance at the Liberty Theatre, is not a stickler for Times Square conventions. He proved this when he invaded the. Gay White Way with the first band of colored entertainers in 1921 and he has proved this again in "Blackbirds of 1928", a revue that before the premiere had only one star, Bill Robinson, in the cast known to Broadway playgoers. And not only that, but his lyricist and composer were unknown as well. To the average theatre-goer this may mean very little, but to those on the inside of the show business nothing could be more revolutionary. The producing business is somewhat of a gamble with a cast of wholly unknowns plus writers equally untried. Mr. Leslie took this long gamble on unknown talent and won because he had faith not only in his stars and writers. but in his keen judgment as to what Broadway wants as well. It was something that elicited more than a full measure of surprise, therefore, when "Blackbirds" moved into town with such names as Adelaide Hall, Aida Ward and Tim Moore—names that hitherto had been heard of but by very few white people. The names of Dorothy Fields, daughter of Lew Fields, and Jimmy McHugh, lyricist and composer, respectively, of "Blackbirds of 1928", have now become quite well known and have added to the prestige of Mr. Leslie as a "discoverer" of talent.

The saying has a reverse side. It's a mighty warm breeze that does not give somebody a cold in the head. Take Mr. Robert Levy's latest venture in the field of colored dramatic acting. Old Harlemites will remember Mr. Levy as the whilom impresario of the Lafayette stock Company. Having made money as well as history in his initial venture in colored stock, Mr. Levy has decided to have another fling at the game. The news comes out that he has signed up several performers for an extended engagement on the Pacific Coast. Among the players already engaged by Mr. Levy are Laura Bowman, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Edward Thompson, Charles Olden and Laurence Criner. On the way West Mr. Levy will stop in Chicago and pick up Andrew Bishop and Cleo Desmond. With my usual modesty I step forward to speak for the whole community and comment on the significance, if any, of Mr. Levy's venture. Doubtless Mr. Levy's plan is good news for the Coast. At the same time it is bad news for Harlem. Not that anybody will cry because he is taking Sidney Kirkpatrick away from here. I won't anyway. But when Mr. Levy proposes to take Laura Bowman and Edward Thompson to the far side of the country it's another story. And the departure of Charles Olden and Laurence Criner will not be the signal for public rejoicing. Up to the present time Mr. Thompson and Mr. Criner have been the backbone of the Alhambra stock company. They have fallen into slovenly work at times but recently they have shown an encouraging return to form. In the last play I saw them in, "In the Hills of Old Kentucky", their work left relatively little room for criticism. The entire company, with two minor exceptions, clicked behind them efficiently and effectively. The improved quality of their acting was reflected by the attitude of the audience. Usually the Alhambra audience becomes restless during the play, with a tendency toward outbursts of inopportune humor. I have always maintained that good acting would overcome this lack of interest on the part of the audience. As usual I was right. During the performance of "In the Hills of Old Kentucky" there was virtually no restlessness in the seats and very little laughing at the wrong time. The applause at the end of the play was not perfunctory or inspired by the ushers and the personal friends of the actors. It was a genuine expression of enthusiasm. I came away with the impression that at least dramatic acting was getting off on the right foot. Now I have a suspicion, unfounded I hope, that the loss of Mr. Thompson, Mr. Criner and Mr. Olden will disorganize the Alhambra company which is just beginning to function smoothly. I hope the management will be able to fill their places with younger performers who will make up in talent for what they lack in experience. Even so the veterans who are going away will be missed by a public that is fast learning to appreciate their worth. A CHANCE FOR MISSIONARY WORK It is quite possible that Negro drama may gain a great deal by Mr. Levy's trip to the Coast. The actresses he is taking with him are bearing down on the half century mark. It is obvious that he will need two or three young women to play opposite his male leads. If he can find some talented flappers in the provinces and initiate them in the game he will earn the lasting gratitude of those who are hoping and praying for the birth of race drama. going to the progress of the Alhambra player.

I do not know what experience Miss Laine had before she joined the Alhambra company. If she had any at all it was certainly the wrong kind. She was green and awkward and read her lines like a schoolgirl declaiming from the third reader. To see her work now it is hard to believe she is the same actress. Her improvement in voice and face control is truly remarkable and she is learning how to make gestures and the changing positions of the body give point and emphasis to dialogue. She is not an accomplished actress yet, it goes without saying; but if she continues to improve as rapidly as she has in the past three months there is no reason why she should not become one in another year or two. I can't see any others in sight. Liberty THEATRE WEST 42D STREET direction A.L. Erlanger... MATS. WED. & SAT. MIDNITE SHOW THURS. LEW LESLIE'S SENSATIONAL HIT!

Moses BECKWITH— Great home run hitter of Homestead Grays—clouts nearly as far as Babe Ruth. "THE SONG IS ENDED" RD, 'soldier of fortune', and the co-origin of the well known Ballyhoo, was thrown for a shot in select football circles. It's really to man couldn't have sustained a personal loss towards colored boxers dating back to the time the Jefferies-Johnson battle. We've often had against the dark-skinned battlers isn't often happenings centered around the mill time out of a voluntary six-year retirement to heavyweight laurels for Nordic supremacy and a day described his return to the wars. TEX RICKARD, 'soldier of fortune', and the co-originator with Barnum of the well known Ballyhoo, was thrown for a loss as they would term it in select football circles. It's really too bad that the prejudiced Texan couldn't have sustained a personal loss of $300,000 for his attitude towards colored boxers dating back to the time he refereed and promoted the Jefferies-Johnson battle. We've often wondered if Rickard's stand against the dark-skinned battlers isn't prompted because of certain happenings centered around the mill that caused Jefferies to come out of a voluntary six-year retirement in order to retrieve the heavyweight laurels for Nordic supremacy as contemporary writers of that day described his return to the wars. JOHNSON REFUSED TO FAKE THE story is told that Johnson accepted the match with the proviso that Jefferies would regain the coveted bauble and save 'White Boxing Leadership'. He was given a king's ransom (at that time) for this service, in addition to a sizeable slice of the motion picture royalties. Jefferies trained like a trojan for six months taking off more than 60 pounds of excessive weight. At the eleventh hour, the Galveston Negro sent word to Jeff that arrangements were off, and he would be called upon to fight on the level if he hoped to regain his heavyweight championship he so graciously bestowed upon Root. The big boiler-maker wilted away at the news, and ringsiders attest to his nervous condition when climbing through the hempen strands that eventful Fourth of July day back in 1910. RICKARD HAS NEVER RELENTED BETS were already placed,—it was too late to hedge, and gangsters were sent to the nervy Johnson's camp in order to intimidate him, just as they tried to belittle him before his white wife in their private car directly after the flasco. Not even the pleadings of "Tex" could prevail upon Johnson, and the fight is now history. Rickard's bitter hatred for all Colored boxers since Jack Johnson's time, has had a far-reaching effect. To-day, a colored fighter may only hope to get an assignment as a sparring partner, rubber or handler,—of course he is eagerly sought for when principals for FAKE MATCHES are needed. Rickard got his start as a fight promoter with one of the greatest boxers that ever breathed who happened to be a member of our group in the principal role. The immortal Joe Gans, drew a gate of $69,000 for the angular Texan prospector and soldier of fortune when he beat Nelson on a foul at Goldfield. Strange to relate, two Colored men (Johnson and Gans) helped Rickard to the top, and both of their fights were staged in the same State—Nevada—Reno and Goldfield. But it does appear that "The Song Is Ended" for Rickard's monopoly of the fighting industry, and the sportsmanlike Humbert J. Fufiazy looms upon the fistic horizon—a MOSES to lead the colored brigade back to the once lofty position in the fight world that it held. A semi-final bout with Tiger (Jack) Payne, Colored sensation here from Australia who holds the Middle Lightheavy, and Heavyweight championships of the land from 'Down Under' against Latzo or Leo Lomski, would have saved Rickard's show from a financial standpoint, and would have cost at least $10,000 less than the semi-finalists did who tangoed through their match. The prophetic words of Kingsley comes forcibly to our mind as we read this sad requiem over Tex Rickard:— "So fleet the works of man back to earth again, Ancient and holy things fade like a dream." Rated Best Hitter Out on the Pacific Coast boxing enthusiasts are hailing Neil Clisby as the best hitter the game has known since Fitzsimmons and Langford. Clisby, who only scales a mere 178 pounds, has been knocking the giants of that section galley-west, and very few heavyweights can be coaxed inside the 24 foot enclosure with him. He is anxious to fight Risko, Hansen, or George Godfrey—brave feller et wot? McVey Trains for Knockout Jack McVey, stung by the criticism of his former friends because he was robbed of the decision against K. O. Phil Kaplan, is determined to add a knockout wallop to his bag of ring tricks. "Members of my group are the strangest acting people on earth 'Al', said the lion hearted McVey to this columnist down at the New Garden Gmy one day last week. (I well admit that I didn't fight my real fight against George Courtney,—trained too hard, and went stale on the even of the battle). As a trainer and boxing coach, you know very well that a boxer is never certain about when he is most apt to go stale, but try and convince the public of anything like that,—its well nigh impossible." But 'Al' you can tell the—Bang, — Zam — Biff — (murdering the punching bag) skeptics who never have anything kind to say of me anymore, that I am determined to become a knockerout. Yes I intend to be known hereafter as K. O. JackMcVey, the devastating walloper, the guy with a right hand kick like an ostrich—in short the killer. Despite the fact that I have licked men like Latzo, Shade, Walcott-Langford, Malone, Sailor Friedman, Allentown Joe Gans, Georgie Levigne, K. D. Phil Kaplan, Frankie Schoell and other topnotchers, I've apparently failed to click because of my lack of a finishing blow like Sam Langford's or other colorful colored battlers of the dim and musty past. I am only 23 years old, and I have never failed yet in accomplishing anything I set my mind to do. Watch for that knockout punch in my next engagement, and I hope they give me the roughest lad in the racket so that my Harlem friends will be satisfied entirely with my performance). Why Tunney Retired We all know that Gene Tunney, world's heavyweight champion, has retired from the ring. But do we know the reason? Schlang My Tailor, Inc. of 2128 7th Avenue claim that they know why this ring idol got cold feet. Last week their famous ballyhoo man, Clive Hartt, roamed Harlem attired in the most exquisite ring togs in search of him. With his little mustache and Charlie Chaplin walk he looked quite formidable an adversary. Clad in flaming red trunks and pink gym shirt he voiced his challenge to the champion. 2128—7th Ave., Betw. 126th & 127th Sts., New York All Garments Made to Measure LINCOLNS WIN TWO The Lincoln Giants won both ends of a double header from two or the strongest white clubs that have played at Protectory Oval when on Sunday, August 5, they defeated the Garfield nine of Philadelphia in a 10 inning contest by a score of 4-3 and the Bayonne nine in the twilight game by a score of 7-3. A single by Gray in the tenth sent Nojo home for the winning run in the first game and the second contest was featured with a home run by Manager John Lloyd. The local team had just returned from Pittsburg where Oum Posey's Grays evened up this year's series by winning three out of four games last week. This makes four games won by each team. Manager Lloyd brought Bobby Williams with him from the Smoky City. Williams, who won a national reputation as the short-stop of the American Giants of Chicago, is playing this position with the Lincolnns.

Program of the National Tennis Championships BORDENTOWN, N: J., Aug. 8. Social leaders and persons of prominence from various sections of the country are planning to attend the National Tennis Championships at Bordentown, N. J., during the week of August 20th. The American Tennis Association is leaving no stones unturned in their plans for the entertainment of the visitors and players during that week. The hostesses for the various affairs of the week will be selected from the members of the American Tennis Association and its co-host of the New Jersey Tennis Association, Inc., headed by Mrs. W. R. Valentine, wife of Prof. W. R. Valentine, principal of the Manual Training and Industrial School, where the tournament will be played. A different entertainment has been planned for each evening, so that everyone might have an enjoyable week. 'Lincoln Giants' One of the greatest semi-Pro teams in the country play every Sunday at CATHOLIC PROTECTORY OVAL East Tremont Avenue near 180th Street JOHN HENRY LLOYD, Manager JAMES J. KEENAN, Gen. Mgr. PHILADELPHIA The much talked of Pennsylvania Open Tournament is at last a reality. Each day brings a crowd of fans from afar to the Woodford Courts, Strawberry Mansion. READ AL SAYS. * * * Watching the matches last Tuesday I noticed Miss Alice Pettijohn of Amherst, Mass. *** Mrs. Louise P. Blakey of Germantown, Mrs. Walter Thomas of New York, and Mr. James Reid of New Haven enjoyed watching their brother Norm; a very interesting player. * * * Miss Cassandra Maxwell, daughter of Dr. Maxwell of S. Carolina, was seen watching the matches in the company of Anita Huntef and Dottie Miller. * * * Reginald Hawkins, son of Mr. & Mrs. Clarence Hawkins of South 20th Street, played in the Juniors. Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins, Clarence Jr., Sylvia Hawkins and Mrs. Dorothy Ammenitti, his sisters, gave him ample encouragement from the side-lines. * * * Mrs. Frances Graves Wright entertained on Wednesday last in honor of the former Miss Marion Golden, who is visiting her home town. Marion, as no doubt you know, is now the Mrs. Doyle of New York City. Mrs. Wright, who made a charming hostess, was beautiful in a delicate pastel organdie. As usual I arrived as the guests were leaving. There were the Farmer girls of Tioga looking very dainty, the De Loaches of West Philly, the Tabourns, Sam and Bonnie Graves, brother and sister of the hostess, the former Ruth Cooper with her husband Mr. Jackson, and Jackie Jammison well known in Washington younger circles. Then too Bill Conyers, Bradley of Lincoln. Ted and Norm Reid were in that number. What could be expected other than a good time. * * * Haven't I told you Philadelphia is far from dead? One finds very pleasant company while popping in and out of the comfortable homes of some of our younger set. Buster Hopkins is of Wilmington, yet we claim him as part of Philly. Jim Ramsey is a typical interesting type. Evelyn Sutton adds a touch of the intellectual to the group. Mary Sutton continues to be the life of every thing to which she is connected; while her pal, Frances Reynolds still enjoys upholding Mary in all of her pranks. Henri Nobile Myrick feels it to be his duty to ask the girls to sing as he plays, and he does play beautifully. * * * Miss Vivian Hollis of Bordentown shows great promise in the athletic world. Miss Hollis has a background that will enable her to attain great efficiency in the tennis game. She is at present a teacher of Physical Ed. at the Bordentown Industrial School. ```markdown ``` James Bell, a student at Villanova College still honors us with his presence. Bell hails from Nor- W.

Anita Hunter and Cogley Jones seemed to be enjoying the cool sea waves. --- Doug Dore made a week-end of it. Doug features a sprint to the train that would shame some of our Olympic Runners. *** Miss Louise Brown, artist and designer of Philadelphia, made a flying visit to Asbury Park last Friday. ```markdown ``` Misses Marion and Hattie Johnson, Lucinda Stewart, and Jule Porter were quite charming in sport costumes as they watched the finals at Woodford Courts. ```markdown ``` The Quaker Village was well represented at the tournament. Helping to improve the scenery, we noticed Frances Brown, Henrietta Dooley, Phyllis Taylor, the Weavers, Jackie Jammison. Shall I name all? There is not space, I fear. ★ ★ ★ Orrin Evans, Randy Dixon, Miss Bernice Deutrieulle, Ernest Varlack, Al Bishop, I Swanee, and Miss Coolbreeze represented the Phila.-press. Right on the job. * * * Mr. Samuel Wade, that most bighearted obligin' young man, of the Armstrong Asso. parked his car behind "Whistlin' Willie" from N. Jersey and arrived on the courts in time to see the end of the tournament. * * * Fortune smiled on me in a very pleasant way when I met J. Mercer Burrel of Newark, N. J. In spite of business cares Mercer finds time to be a darned good athlete. * * * The gallant George Hill of Mountclair, N. J., made quite a hit with the opposite sex. One young lady insists that she could watch him play forever. However, she now declares that she prefers to hear him talk. * * * Have you seen "Whistlin Willie"? No, Willie does not belong to a Carcus side show — at least — not yet. Willie was never so honored as when escorting a party of four explorers through the wilds of the mosquito state — New Jersey. His cheery whistle seemed to shorten the hours and add interest to the tour. All went well with Willie's whistle until the army of mosquitoes mistook it for a decoy and the tourists for the bait. The party then decided that the Willie might stay but the whistle must go. ★ ★ ★ I Swanee was surprised to see so many Philadelphiaans as the Howard University Summer School Student's dance at Washington D. C. Mary White, Helen Jones and Lelia Warrick, Mrs. Claude Connor, Florence Chacon, Mrs. Dot Fleming of Philadelphia and New Haven, Alexinia Hughes, Mrs. Rose Norwood, wife of Dr. Harold Norwood of this city and De Hawkins. * * * Miss Adena Young, formerly of the Quaker Village, is now an indispensible part of the Washington younger set. "Dena" is looking well, and was I glad to see her? Anne Howe! * * * Mr. Henry Ricks is in New York now. Saturday a week Henry visited home-sweet-home. Misses Phyllis Taylor and Roberta Langston spend their Sundays by the sea, bathing and reclin- ing on the sands and snapping cute poses. Oh Joy! * * * Mrs. Royal Weaver accompanied her children to the Tennis Matches of the Pennsy. Open Tournament. *** Fans were greatly disappointed to know that Ernest Ashe, a Philly favorite, did not enter the tournament. Ernie is becoming quite a business man. * * * Al Says The Pennsylvania Open Tournament terminated last Saturday and ended just as many had perdicted. Dr. Syvester Smith again won the Pennsylvania title when he defeated Lester P. Granger of Bordentown in the final round 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. The Bordentown Instructor took the defense and experienced a great deal of difficulty in passing the chop stroke artist who repeatedly advanced to the net. However, Granger made some surprising returns which invariably brought applause from the large gallery. *** To add to his laurels Syvester copped the men's doubles and mixed doubles. Paired with Norman Reid he figured greatly in the downfall of Granger and Williams in the final round of the men's doubles 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. The Smith Reid team out generaled the New Jersey combination in each of the three sets. Miss Lula Ballard shared the mixed doubles honors with Dr. Smith winning from Jessie Jones and Miss Ora Washington in the final round in straight sets 6-4, 6-4. * * * Miss Lula Ballard bowed to Miss Ora Washington, last year's winner in the final round of the women's singles championship, after three hotly contested sets 6-3, 6-8, 6-2. This is Miss Washington's second championship this season and she should make a strong bid for the national title at Bordentown, N. J. Miss Washington's overhead smash is her best weapon this season and it should win many matches for her. --- New Jersey was well represented in the tournament and every entry made a creditable showing. Lester Granger reached the final round which will help boost his national ranking, Williams succomed to Dr. Smith in the semi-final round while George Hill's powerful forehand drive took its master to the semi-final round. Granger and Williams went to the final round in the doubles, but Hill and Burrell advanced to the quarter finals. * * * Philadelphia will be well represented in the New York Tennis Association's Open Tournament to take place in New York City next week. Among those who will be seen in the tourney are the Misses Lula Ballard, Ora Washington and Dorothy Lewis and the men who will vie for honors are Norman Reid, Asa Anderson, Namon Henson, and Dr. Sylvester Smith.

The guests were, Misses Pauline Anderson, Edna McGill, Messrs Ralph Campbell, Lee Taylor, Raymona Young and Lloyd Young. Mrs. Anna Calmer was visiting in West Chester, Pa, last week as the guest of Mrs. T. B. Thompson. ```markdown ``` Miss Mary Turner and Sara Lewis, are visiting relatives and friends in Philadelphia, Mount-Clara and Ausbury Park, N. J. Just why is it, that when we think the "Giants" have won a good Ball Game, something always happens? Let me tell you that home-run in the ninth was a heart breaker. Lee Taylor and Harry Pinns really had the girl-rooters from Martinsburg crying the blues. *** The popular Mr. Lloyd Young has left for the big city again. He says he just wants to make another little social call befor parking in for the winter. *** We are glad to welcome our friend Miss "Millie" Robinson, who returned home after quite a stay in New York City.

The Judge directed the committee to remove the disqualification placed on them. Robert P. Ball of Chicago and Elmer Stout of Newark, complainants, then withdrew from the championship play now in progress at Cobbs Creek. The court also ruled that "there was no evidence that would indicate there was any racial prejudice on the part of members of the Disciplinary Golf Committee". Judge McNeily summed up the case: "I do not think the evidence has shown any intentional violation of the rules by these men. On the other hand I do not see any evidence of prejudice or discourtesy toward them on the part of the officials. I think the officials have been imposed upon by some witnesses who were prejudiced against the men, and who went out to find evidence against them. "The committee seems to have been unfortunately influenced by the evidence of a person whose testimony was heard in advance of the trial at which they were disqualified. "I am pleased to comment on the good sportsmanship of these men who are such lovers of the game that they would not interfere with the further progress of the tournament and make innocent men suffer." How To Stop All Perspiration And Other Body Odors A new discovery, by the Dr. Fred Palmer Laboratories, gives to you a harmless, stainless, easy-to-apply preparation for removing perspiration and other body odors. Go to any store, ask for a 25c jar of "Hid", use as directed and if you don't find it the most delightful preparation of its kind you ever used, get your money back. "Hid" banishes perspiration and other body odors almost instantly, lasts a long time, will not stain the most delicate under garments nor injure the most tender skin. If your dealer cannot supply "Hid", send 25c for full size jar. Dr. Fred Palmer's Laboratories, Dept. R., Atlanta, Ga.

I knew that he was terribly jealous of my sister and it worried me greatly. She told me that several times he had laid in wait for her, hoping to catch her with some man so as to kill both." It seems that Hawes suspected a certain carbaret entertainer, Tousiant Duers, of Washington, D. C. According to rumors, Miss Sellers had been out a number of times with the Washington sheik and "Bullie" suspected as much. But try as he would, Hawes was never able to surprise the couple. Miss Sellers was the proprietress of the Savoy Cabaret in Asbury Park and had a thriving business up to this season. According to her sister, she was not able to devote the proper interest to her work because of "Bullie's" jealousy. She was contemplating closing the place up and going away just a few weeks ago. The night before the tragedy, Hawes visited Long Branch, N. J., which is just a few minutes ride from the Park. He dropped into an exclusive club while there and then, for the first time, learned that Flossie and her new "sweetie" had been making frequent visits to Long Branch, after she closed up her resort in the Park. This must have infuriated Hawes for he immediately returned to Asbury Park. The two quarrelled violently the morning of his arrival and then followed the fatal shooting that snuffed out two lives. Two bullets struck the unfortunate woman, the first entered the back of her neck and turned up, coming out through her right eye. As she turned from the impact of the first bullet, Hawes fired a second shot, which entered her left eye and lodged in her brain. He then fired three more bullets in the huddled body and then calmly walked back up-stairs to end his own life with a bullet through his temple. Mrs. Annabelle Hawes, wife of the deceased, who lives at 231 W. 141st St., Apt. 39, said that the night prior to the shooting, her husband called her by long distance telephone and stated that he was sending her $50 and suggested that she remain in her apartment in order to receive same. She remained at home, awaiting the money, only to be informed over the telephone by a friend of the tragedy. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon under the direction of the Mitee Monarch's Lodge, at the Elks' Home, 245 West 137th St. Services were conducted by the Rev. J. W. Brown of Mother Zion Church. The following remarks were read: "Forty-eight years ago in the little town of Paris, Kentucky, the fourth child of Harry and Georgia Hawes was born and named James Walter.

As four girls of our race left a moving picture theatre in a Middle Western town three white men drew up to the curb and invited them to go for a ride. One of the girls refused to go. Another girl declined at first but, influenced by the persistence of the men and an inclination to yield on the part of two of her companions, finally consented to accept a ride on condition that the men would drive them home. ....But white men do not invite colored girls out riding for the pleasure of seeing them home. When the girls entered the car the driver pointed it away from town and stepped on the gas. Then, when it was too late, the girl who had been reluctant to join the party understood the price she was expected to pay for the ride. She preferred to pay a higher price and leaped from the car while it was running at high speed and fractured her skull. A few hours later she died as a result of her injury. It is not necessary to inform readers of this paper that we do not incline to Victorian ideals of morality or that we are quite free of Puritan notions of conduct. We believe that, on the whole, the frankness and freedom of the preset younger generation is more wholesome than the costraint and spurious modesty of the last one. We believe in the integrity of the flesh as well as the nobility of the spirit. But there is such a thing as being too free—a point at which freedom becomes depravity. It is to the honor of the memory of Sarah Davis that when she saw her self approaching that point, with no apparent means of escape, she chose immolation to degradation. An even greater honor is that of Muriel Rouse, the girl who resisted temptation when it first presented itself. It is not conventional to commend the living over the honorable dead, it may even be bad form, nevertheless we do not hesitate to applaud the integrity of the girl whose first thought was her honor. If the other girls had thought of honor first and pleaasure second one of them would not have been forced to pay such a high price for her buggy ride. School of the Baptist faith.

Over twenty years ago he came to New York and here he has remained until this day when he leaves his host of friends and acquaintances for the last resting place beside his parents in Ohio. The Saviour used these words as a perfect description of the real, practical Christian; "Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of my little ones, ye have done it unto Me." How fitting did this description fit the life of Walter Hawes. Not one time in his life has he given a man a stone for bread. Throughout his community he was known for his liberal purse freely opened to those in need and distress. His many gifts to charity in his quiet and unassuming way would surprise even his most intimate friends if the recipients of them could tell of his kindness. He fulfilled his brotherly obligations to his fraternal brothers. His generous heart and purse were always open to them. To his wife he was a most generous husband. There was nothing in this world too good for her and he showered down upon her the luxuries of this life. Never in his life did he fail to care for his home. Walter Hawes had a pleasing personality. His host of friends extend all over this country. Possessing a genial smile and a hearty handshake, he drew men unto him. His presence created joy and fellowship and radiated happiness and cheer.

Others shrieked from nearby windows. None protested. I ran to the yard and found that they had all disappeared, but I found the charred and dead bodies of the animals. "On another occasion, I saw a huge white cat, about twice the size of an ordinary house pet, apparently starved by the voodooists, released from a shed in the yard. The big cat devoured a small kitten. It was so ferocious that a policeman had to shoot it. "Not long ago, I saw two men pursue a cat around the yard, one bearing a shovel, the other a pail. They beat the animal to death. The next day, I heard barks from the yard and saw a boy about twelve years old in the act of hanging a collie by a wire from the limb of an old tree. I hurried downstairs and asked him about it. The dog was already dead. The boy said that 'someone had said he should do it' but he would not tell who the person was. "I saw two men quickly kill seven kittens, one day by stabbing them with ice picks. I found the dead animals in the yard, later." The same woman said that she had witnessed one sacrifice in the yard of her house and, the next day, had found the dead bodies of three cats in a vacant apartment next door to her own. EVERYWHERE to-day, we hear—youth must be served, but from Friday, July 27, to Friday, August 3, age had its fling. In the face of no end of heat that inspired you with nothing save a longing for chiffon necktie, iced beverages and sunless corners, the big parade of club women took place. From forty-two states they came, eight hundred strong, representing 150,000 women. The occasion was their sixteenth biennial session, at Washington, D. C. They marched from Howard University to Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, to Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, to Armstrong High School, to their National Headquarters, to Frederick Douglass Home, to National Training School. In each place they orated, moved and counter moved, cheered and sang, gestured and ranted; and in a body defied the heat. In their sport suits, flowered chiffons, enthusiasm and earnestness, they were a marvelous example of the power of mind over matter. The three primary meetings on Friday and Saturday were scheduled for Rankin Chapel. Mary McLeod Bethune, president, opened the Conference, instructed the special boards, committees and departments, heard reports and met with the Executive Board. On Sunday afternoon a public meeting was held at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, at which time Mary Church Terrell, the first president of the Association, and a present honorary president, was the principal speaker. Monday morning at Armstrong High School brought the same routine of reports plus the seating of delegates, with Dr. Carter G. Woodson, historian, as speaker. In the evening the Convention formally opened at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Julia West Hamilton, president of the Washington and Vicinity Federation and chairman of the general arrangement committee, presided. The keys of the city were presented to officers of the Association by Alma J. Scott, chairman of the reception committee; and greetings by Dr. John R. Hawkins, president of the Prudential Bank; Garnet C. Wilkerson, assistant superintendent of the Public Schools of the District of Columbia; Col. West A. Hamilton of the U. S. Reserve Corps; Hon. J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks. and S. W. Rutherford, general secretary of the National Benefit Life Ins. Co. followed. Sallie W. Stewart, vice president, responded in behalf of the women. Tuesday. was a busy day. In the morning the delegates met at the Armstrong High School; in the afternoon at their National Headquarters, and in the cevning at Metropolitan Church. In the morning, memorial services were conducted by Christine Smith, national chairman of Church Relations, in honor of their illustrious dead. Two lectures were given—one on the Bahai Movement by a Miss Keith, and another on the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom by Dorothy Detzer. The afternoon launched the dedication of the Association's National Headquarters at the corner of 12th and O Streets, N. W. The exercises opened with reminescences by Elizabeth C. Carter and Hallie Q. Brown, honorary presidents, and Mary Church Terrell made the dedicatory address. The home was then consecrated by Bishop E. D. W. Jones of A. M. E. Zion Church and presented by Janie Porter Barrett, chairman of the Executive Board. The impressive ceremony closed with the acceptance of the keys by the five regional presidents—Elizabeth C. Carter of the North East, Ora Brown Stokes of the South East, Minnie M. Scott of the Central, Mrs. J. B. Samuels of the North West, and Emily Overall of the South West. Mary McLeod Bethune presided. The evening continued the celebration of the dedication. Dean William Pickens, lecturer for the N. A. A. C. P. spoke on the value of a Headquarters and Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute gave an address on the Business Side of the N. A. C. W. Wednesday was another day of great rejoicing—the occasion of the dedication of the care-taker's cottage at the Frederick Douglass Home. The day started with a discussion of the American Interracial Peace Committee by Alice Dunbar Nelson, executive secretary of the committee and reports of departments. At three in the afternoon the delegation motored to Cedar Hill, Anacostia to the Frederick Douglass Home. Nettle Langston Napier, president of the Frederick Douglass Association presided. The caretaker's cottage, a modern and attractive home, was presented in behalf of the committee by Nannie N. Burroughs and accepted by Maggie L.

Dickerson of the Advisory Board, Mary Church Terrell for the Honorary members, and Mary McLeod Bythune. Elizabeth C. Carter chistened the cottage and Hallie Q. Brown offered a prayer of consecration. Thursday was the great election day. The election board prepared its slate, the ballots were printed and the voting went off with a bang. Of course two or three disappointments were unavoidable, but nothing serious, or rather nothing that was not eventually smoothed out. According to precedent, Sallie W. Stewart of Evansville, Ind., former vice president, was elected president; Charlotte Hawkins Brown, principal of Palmer Memorial Institute at Sedalia, N. C., became vice president; Daisy E. Lampkin of Pittsburgh, chairman of the executive board; Minnie M. Scott of Toledo, Ohio, corresponding secretary; Julia West Hamilton of Washington, D.

Miller of Mississippi, chaplain; Nettie L. Napier of Tennessee, president of the Douglass Home Board. The Convention closed on Friday with the installation of officers at Metropolitan Church. The speakers of the evening were the Hon. J. Finley Wilson, Dr. J. T. Tigert and Dr. Emmett J. Scott. Amid flowers and speeches galore, Mary McLeod Bethune with the dignity of a queen laid down the gavel that she had wielded with such signal honor and passed her royal robes to the efficient shoulders of Sallie W. Stewart. And the Sixteenth Biennial Session of the National Association of Colored Women, Inc. came to a successful and inspiring close. As for the work accomplished by the National Association of Colored Women, Mrs. Bethune and the Association may well be proud. $10,000 has been spent on the National Headquarters with pledges to be paid by January amounting to $15,000. The caretaker's cottage for the Frederick Douglass Home has been constructed and paid for. $5,000 has been deposited in the Binga State Bank and $5,000 in the St. Luke's Bank. $17,000, $10,000 of which is a national scholarship fund is on deposit in the Prudential Bank. $4,000 has been appropriated for the running of the Headquarters, $1,800 of which will go for the salary of the executive secretary, Minnie M.

After they got there trees were climbed, fish were caught, boats were rowed and the most interesting feature of the day, FOOD WAS EATEN. A corking good time was had by all. I wonder why Gill sat in the front seat coming and going? I ask you another one—Where was Anne? O-K-M-N-X— * * * All Chicago is so pleased to have Mrs. A. F. Herndon with us again. She is the house guest of Mrs. Geo. Cleveland Hall. 草草草 Mrs. Geo. Cleveland Hall entertained with a bridge party last Tuesday evening. Mrs. Herndon was the guest of honor. There were eight tables of guests. Miss Hortense Hall assisted her mother. The party was delightful in all respects. Give me a break please. I must break down and confess once again about the Alpha dance Iast Saturday night. Where did they get that inspiring music? I always knew that Alpha men could give parties, BUT "heah me talkin' to you" the last one surpassed all records. Among the fortunate folks frolicing were Wilda Kennedy, Hazel Renfroe, Alexander Whitfield, Marcus Mahone, Mildred Ware, Brother Brazil, Leyla Roode, Mae Smith, Edward Mouzon, Lenora Jones, Frank L. Hailstolk, Jr., Josephine Anderson, Bill Anthony, Avery French, Adine DeLue, T. C. Chapman, Vernon Jones, George Spaulding, Anne M. James, Louis Hickman, Mrs. Carribelle Plummer, and really so many others I can't remember just now. Needlees to say it was a party. It is the intention of the writer of this column to inform the public of the good features of Chicago theatres and shows as well as criticise the bad. Realizing that service plays an important part in the life of any theatre, I wish to call attention to the excellent service, patrons receive at the Regal Theatre. How this service is maintained can more truly be appreciated if one reads the following excerpt from a paper that was published by the South Center Development a week or so ago. Our Fired PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER Marvelous Beauty Treatment Quickly Lightens Dark, Muddy Complexions DR. FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER ```markdown ``` The word Service can mean much or little depending largely upon those rendering it. Regal Theatre Service means the most efficient, courteous and pleasing service possible. To maintain this standard, Mr. Douglas, the assistant chief of service, instructs a class every Saturday morning in the art of Theatre Service. Then, at the weekly service meeting, every Sunday morning, the entire department discusses methods of eliminating existing flaws and improving the service in Chicago's most beautiful theatre. Aside from the regular discussions, talks are given at various times by leading business men of the South Central District, who have found Service most essential in dealing with the public. At the Regal Theatre, "Service" is the motto. From Mr. Currie, who opens the door of your car, to Mr. Washington, the Chief of Service, to Mrs. Rankin, who so eagerly serves the women and children, on to the Manager, who not only serves, but helps the entire personnel to serve the patrons most effectively. The offering at the Regal Theatre this week is very good. The stage show is snappy and gives an excellent variety of acting. Marshall "Garbage" Rodgers does some new comedy. Dotson executes an intricate dance which receives much applause. Harry Fiddler is very interesting in his character studies of famous people. While Willie Kirby and Girlie cause the audience to hold their breaths, with their aerial stunts. Leonard with his harmonica is a whole band by himself. Of course Albertine Pickens and the Regal Steppers go over big as usual. The name of this stage offering is "Down Nagasaki Way". Fess William and his Joy Boys play some tuneful music. The screen attraction is the "Forbidden Hours", starring Ramon Novarra Marvelous Beauty Quickly Light Dark, Muddy Co Now it is remarkably easy to have a lighter, lovelier, clearer skin. No matter how dark, muddy or pimply your complexion is, Dr. Fred Palmer's marvelous Skin Whitener will quickly make it supremely beautiful in a surprisingly short time. After a very few applications of this wonderful beauty treatment, your skin clears and lightens as if by magic—tan marks, pimples, freckles and blemishes go, and that excessive oil which causes "shine" disappears. Only with this famous Skin Whitener can you get such DR. FRED PAUL WHITE and Rene Adorce in a gripping story of love and adventure, between a prince of royal blood and a cardinal's daughter. Others well known to the movies are Roy D'Arcy, Edward Connolly and Dorothy Cummings, which makes this picture one of the best seen this season. At the New Willard Theatre the Whitman sisters are playing a return engagement by popular request. Their show is better than ever. They have added several new features. And the costumes are new. Bert Whitman as a man does some clever work, but as usual Alice carries away the major portion of the honors with her dancing. Alice Whitman is the Bojangles of the female sex when it comes to dancing. I would rather see Alice and Bojangles dance than to eat a good meal when I am hungry. Of course the Whitman Sisters Co. would not be complete without Princess Wee Wee, the perfect little lady. The chorus works hard and fast and is pepped up by the red hot band, which accompanies the show. The Metropolitan Theatre has been showing some big time pictures this week. The first of the week the feature was "Glorious Betsy" starring Dolores Costello and Conrad Nagel in a love affair during the Napoleonic days. The middle of the week the feature was "Happiness Ahead", starring Colleen Moore and Edmund Lowe in a plot in which a sweet country lass marries a New York crook. Colleen Moore does an excellent piece of acting in this picture. For the latter part of the week the two features are Rod La Roque in "Hold 'Em Yale" and Tom Mix in the "Painted Post". Buster Newman and Rodgers will be on Keith time beginning next week These two boys are clever and should make a hit. Their dancing is fast and original.
