'Bullie'(Hall) Hawes Slays Sweetheart Then Ends His Own Life With A Bullet
'Bullie'(Hall) Hawes Slays Sweetheart Then Ends His Own Life With A Bullet
Walter Hawes, better known as "Bullie" Hall, shot and killed his sweetheart, Flossie Sellers and then turned the gun on himself last Wednesday morning at 143 Sylvan Avenue, Asbury Park, N. 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.
Beware of sending your child out with Policy or Number Slips.

'Bullie'(Hall) Hawes Then Ends His Own
Walter Hawes, better known as sweetheart, Flossie Sellers and the Wednesday morning at 143 Sylvae, double tragedy, murder and suicide the popular couple were known.
The double shooting occurred was the culmination of a bitter affair for some hours. Hawes, according severely about the head with a hat that to some extent, Hawes was describes the affair as follows: heard Flossie scream and a second down the stairs, her head cut and "Bullie" with the bottle. 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)

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".
One night last week, Mrs. Hall (Continued on Page 7)

S. P. C.A. Director Claims Dogs and Cats Are Tortured At "Blood-Rites"
Last Monday, General Manager William A. Beban of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals launched an investigation in Harlem, to find out about the reported "Voodoo Atrocities' in the torturing and killing of dogs and cats in the "Blood-Rites" of this notorious religious cult Detailed accounts of mysterious meetings and weird doings where dumb animals have been substituted for human beings at these mid-night meetings of the "Blood-Rites', conducted by Voodoo Priests have been reported to the society for almost a year was submitted by Miss A L. Carmody, chief clerk of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Mr. Bevans claims that his organization intends to run down the reported cruelties and prosecute the guilty parties. "We shall gather every bit of available evidence and if we can definitely establish the guilt of specific persons, we shall prosecute them to the limit of the law." declared General Manager Bevan of the society.

he present time, the eye-witnesses have been unable to identify the persons whom they have seen engaged in the cruel practices of the Voodoo cult.
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. She said in part in her complaint: "I looked out of the rear window of my apartment one day." and I saw several men and (Continued on Page 14)

THE hot days are still with us and many New Yorkers are finding relief from the torrid weather at the nearby beaches. The kiddles splashing in the surf, the colorful bathing suits dotting the beach, the youngsters hurling the huge water balls in the water give a picture of comfort, to say nothing of how they are enjoying themselves. Those that do not visit the beaches betake themselves to far and greener fields.

Well folks, — Geneiva Plater had another birthday party on last Thursday evening, at her palatial residence on St. Nicholas Avenue. The apartment was decorated beautifully for the occasion and after the general routine of cards and games, the fortunate guests were escorted into the spacious dining-room where covers were laid for over thirty. Indeed a delectable as well as an attractive menu was served.
The popular Geneiva was the recipient of a number of costly and beautiful gifts (satisfying they were) and, it was 'in the wee, wee hours of the morning', when the merry-makers reluctantly bid their charming hostess 'adieus', wishing her — they would — many a happy birthday and wending their way homeward.
Among the invited guests were Mrs. Lillian Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. Gardener, Lessie Portee, Pearl Frederic, Heeney Theyer, Waldorf Robinson, Richard Nicholas, Irving Chambers, Harry Jackson and others.

“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, a
the writer says, we all make mistakes
I feel that there is bope for our dea
lonely heart who is penitently bidin;
his time in prison.
“Dear Jackie Nobile—In reading ove!
your column exch and every week, |
am very interested in your work o
causing so many people such great hap
piness. It seems very strange to som:
people, 1 suppose, how a person cat
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 hac
the misfortune to contact such error
Iam a young mau of 32 and not 2
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.
* 6 ©
Harken to this, ye Appolos: “An
interesting young woman, still on the
beautiful side of thirty, would mect,
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.”
* 7. +
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 par-
ticular line.
see
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 fol-
lows, asks for a real lover who can
shield her and be ever present physi-
cally—not invisible.
“The writer, idealistic in tempera-
ment, 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
1 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.

sidered very chic, with lots of pep and

“Young lady admires and would Uke
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 bands, carry a canc

low spats.” Oh, boy! Page Carl Van

like to correspond with a gentleman
not over 87. He must be tall, well-

I am not unbecomihgly stout and be-

I Know What It Means
(Dedicated to Lulu Williams)
(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—
The morning to break a-moaning.
i know what it means to have to
live
That another might gain through
one’s living;
{ 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 bad-
ness.
And I know what it means to be
tired of life,
For I’m tired nigh unto madness.

Mr. Epps has returned to the city, after a visit to Atlantic City. But with weak knees. The girls now call Spencer the "Cute Boy".

The Monday morning breakfast dance at the famous Lenox Club, seems to be a garden for nice things. Some of the flowers seen blooming in brilliant array were—Misses Mae Jones, Lexie Jones, Ernestine Brown, Mae Barnes of theatrical fame, Sadie Mitchell and Gladys Webster—Some garden. A base ball player of keen ability, did a 'slide Kelly slide" on the slippery floor of Club Lenox. The umpire called him out. Yes it was Clyde.

The E Pluribus Unum Social and Whist Club met at the President's house, Mr. James Thompkins, 135 West 132nd Street. Plans were made for the club to have a picnic on the third Sunday in August. They will also invite a few friends to join them. 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!

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. According to the dope, they're the Cat's Meow. It is said that in every town where they have played they keep the whole population awake.

-. JOHNNY HUDGINS in “PARISIAN NIGHTS”
Harlem
- THE LAFAYETTE. Theatre has a
‘corking good -entertainmént this
‘week, in Sam‘ Manning’s' new musi
cal comedy vehicle, “Scuffle Along”,
Presented by a cast of popular en.
‘tertainers. . Sam _ certainly has
risen-to greater heights not only as
_& revue producer but as a come
dian. His work this week is super.
ior 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 af-
ternoon with a dance called “Walk
That-Broad”, a fantastic conglomer-
ation of steps of their own creation.
“Scuffie Along” in addition to the
team. just mentioned, has a num-
ber of others who are not so well
known to Harlemites. A real treat
was the dancing of Paul and Thel-
"ma 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 Hol-
land, and a wonderful violinist,
Don Luis Carlos Varonis. Manning
bas 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 ad-
vantageous. It’s the’ best entertain-
ment we have had the good fortune
to enjoy in many a day. Don’t miss
it. . = s
THE LINCOLN and Jimmy Mar-
shall have the company “Back
Home Again”, back to Harlem, rep-
resented by. the girls as the dif-
ferent Avenues. A jam-up opening.
Andrew Tribble does one of his old
favorites, assisted by Jimmy Mar-
shall 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 |
jancing (particularly by winsome :
Margaret Beckett—personality plus |
—and Theresa Mason) and medi- |
ere singing. 1
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.
7 * 7.
THE ALHAMBRA offers “Keep.
ing Cool”, opening in a Girls’ Semi-
nary, 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 Ran-
dall, 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 Up-
shur 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 in-
ternationally-known colored com-
edians landed from Paris on Wed-
nesday morning. During his long
stay abroad, he scored remarkable
successes in France, Germany and
England.
Johnny will make his first ap-
pearance in America at the Lafay-
ette Theatre next week at the head
of “Parisian Nights”, a new revue
produced by Leonard Harper.
“Parisian Nights” has been in re-
hearsal 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.

LEW LESLIE’S GREAT
GAMBLE WON SUCCESS
Lew Lslie, producer of “ black-
birds of 1928”, which just cele-
brated its one hundredth perform-
ance at the Liberty Theatre, is not
a stickler for Times Square con-
ventions. He proved this when he
invaded the. Gay White Way with
the first band of colored enter:
tainers 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 un-
known 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 revolution-
ary. The producing business is
somewhat of a gamble with a cast
ot wholly unknowns plus writers
equally untried. Mr. Leslie took
this long gamble on unknown tal-
ent and won because he had faith
not only in his stars and writers.
but in his keen judgment as to
what Broadway warts as well.
lt was something that elicited
more than a full measure of sur-
prise, therefore, when “Blackbirds”
moved into town with such names
as Adelaide Hail, 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, re-
spectively, of “Blackbirds of 1928”,
have now become quite well known
and have added to the prestige of
Mr. Leslie as a “discoverer” of
talent.

Trailing the . Spotlight
_ ° GOOD NEWS IS BAD NEWS mn Fe
T. has been said it’s an ill wind that blows: nobody good. .The
; saying has a reverse side. It’s 2 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 Har-
demites 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 en-
gagement on the Pacific Cozst. Among the players already en-
gaged by Mr. Levy are Laura Bowman, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Ed-
ward Thompson, Charles Olden and Laurence Criner. On the
way West Mr. Levy wil! stop in Chicago and pick up Andrew
Bishop and Cleo Desmond.
With my usual modesty | step forward to speak for the whole
community znd 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 J saw them in,
“in the Hills of Old Kentucky”, their work left relatively little
room for criticism. The entire company, with two minor ex-
ceptions, clicked behind them efficiently and effectively. _ The
improved quality of their acting was refiected by the attitude of
the audience. Usually the Alhambra audience becomes restless
during the play, with a tendency toward outbursts of inopportune
humor. | have always maintained that good acting would over-
come this lack of interest on the part of the audience. As usual
1 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. 1! came away with the impression that at least
dramatic acting was getting’ off on the right foot. :
Now I have a suspicion, unfounded 1 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.
. FANNIA LAINE .
Returning to the progress of the Alhambra players, Fannia
Laine is the most improved performer of the company. | 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 tines like
a schoolgirl declaiming from the third reader. To see her work
now it is hard to believe she is the same actress. Her improve-
ment in voice and face control is truly remarkable and she is
learning how to mzke gestures and the changing positions of the
body give point and emphasis to dialogue. She is not an accomp-
lished 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. | can’t see any others in sight.

Why all the unrest and the gnashing of teeth in the fashionable cooperative apartments 152 and 154 West 131st Street? One lady sat in the window until 3 A. M. watching the neighbor's apartment. What business was hers to do such a nervy trick? Rumors and rumors of wars?

T™= ‘RICKARD, ‘soldier of fortune’, and the co-originator with Bar-
nim 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 be
cause of certain happenings centered around the mill that caused Jef
feries :to come out of a voluntary six-year retirement in order to re
trieve the heavyweight laurels for Nordic supremacy as contemporary
writers of that day described his return to the wars.
JOHNSON REFUSED TO FAKE
T= 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 royal-
T= 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 royal
ties. Jeffertes 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
B@s were already placed,—it was too late to hedge, and gangsters
weré 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
ear directly after the fiasco. Not even the pleadings of “Tex” could
prevail upon Johnson, and the fight is now history. - Rickards 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 champion:
ships 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 semifinalists 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 box-:
ing enthusiasts are hailing Neil
Clisby as the best hitter the
game. has known since Fitzsim-
mons 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 enclos-
ure 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 criti
cism of his former friends because
he was robbed of the decision
against K. O. Phil Kaplan, is de-
termined to add a knockout wallop
to his bag of ring tricks. “Members
of my group are the strangest act:
ing people on earth ‘Al’, said the
lion hearted McVey to this column-
ist 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 impossi-
le.”
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 in-
tend to be known hereafter as K. O.
JackMcVey, the devastating wallo-
per, the guy with a right hand kick
like an ostrich—in short the kil-
ler. Despite the fact that I have
Licked men like Latzo, Shade, Wal-
cott-Langford, Malone, Sailor Fried-
man, Allentown Joe Gans, Georgie
Levigne, K. D. Phil Kaplan, Fran-
kie Schoell and other topnotchers,
I’ve apparently failed to click be-
cause 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 engage-
ment, 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 Chap-
lin walk he looked quite formidable
an adversary. Clad in flaming red
trunks and pink gym shirt he
voiced his challenge to the cham-
pion.

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.

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.

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.

Common Pleas Court
PHILADELPHIA.—Judge McNeille, in the Court of Common Pleas completely exonerated the Negro golfers who were disqualified Wednesday by the United States Golf Association on a charge of violation of rules in the National Public Links Championship Tournament. 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.

that New York, Philadelphia and

Moreover, gentlemen are none the

only thing to do is to respect the

take unto one’s self the responsi-

rect yourself to drive through the

"Bullie" (Hall) Hawes Slays Sweetheart; Then Ends His Own Life With a Bullet
(Continued from Page 3) her several times in my presence. 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. For a period of about 8 years he lived in this town, growing up in the Church and Sunday
THE PRICE OF A BUGGY RIDE
As four girls of our race live in Middle Western town three who invited them to go for a ride. Another girl declined at first of the men and an inclination to companions, finally consented to the men would drive them home. But white men do not invite pleasure of seeing them home. The driver pointed it away from town when it was too late, the girl was party understood the price she paid. She preferred to pay a higher while it was running at high speed few hours later she died as a rider.
It is not necessary to inform do not incline to Victorian ideals free of Puritan notions of whole, the frankness and freedom is more wholesome than the last one. We believe in the nobility of the spirit. But the free—a point at which freedom honor of the memory of Sarah is approaching that point, with no chose immolation to degradation.
An even greater honor is the resisted temptation when it first ventional to commend the lives may even be bad form, nevertheless the integrity of the girl whose five other girls had thought of honoring of them would not have been for her buggy ride.
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.

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.
Though he has passed on, yet his memory lives in the hearts of friends, dear. His monument is erected through the good deeds he rendered here on earth. To his friends he shall ever be a shin-

Form readers of this paper that we deal with morality or that we are of conduct.

S. P. C. A. Director Claims Dogs and Cats Are Tortured at "Blood-Rites"
(Continued from Page 3) women hurling kittens into a bonfire. 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. Walker in be-

half of the trustees by Addie W. 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. C., treasurer; Rebecca Styles Taylor of Georgia, first recording secretary; Joanna Snowden of Illinois, organizer; Addie W. Hunton of New York parliamentarian; Esther Jones Lee of California, auditor; Adalie W. Dickerson of Pennsylvania, statistician; Carrie E. Adams of Texas, chairman of ways and means; Mrs. E. B. 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. Scott. A directory has been compiled and 3,000 copies distributed. The Association has been represented at the National Council of Women of the U. S. at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York City, at the National Peace League, National Labor League, National Y. W. C.

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, | 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 Develompent a week
or 80 ago. y
The word Service can mean much or
little depending largely upon those ren-
dering it. Regal Theatre Service means
the most efficient, courteous and pleas-
‘ing service possible. To maintain this
standard, Mr, Douglas, the assistant
chie? of service, instructs a class every
Saturday morning in the art of Thea-
tre Service. Then, at the weekly serv-
ice meeting, every Sunday morning. the
entire department discusses methods
of eliminating existing flaws and im-
proving the service in Chicago’s most
beautiful theatre, Aside from the regu-
lar 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 stuge
show is snappy and gives an excellent
variety of acting. Marshall “Garbage”
Rodgers does some new comedy. Dot-
son executes an intricate dance which
receives much applause. Warry Fid-
dler is very interesting in his char-
neter studies of famous people. While
Willie Kirby and Girlie cause the audi-
ence to hold their breaths, with their
aerial stunts. Leonard with his har-
monica 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 sereen attraction is the “Forbid-
Qen Hours", starring Ramon Novarra
