Those optimistic souls who like to point out that even the current cloud has a silver lining will find much to support their theory in the recent decisions and "obiter diota" opinions of Federal judge Atwell. This learned justice is the seer whom Providence and the Supreme Court inspired to leave his native stopper of Texas to devote his vacation to doing good works in New York. His very best work, we believe, has been done in mind of a better understanding between the white and colored people of intelligence. Not that His Honor intended to do anything to bring about more rational relations between the two groups. But there's a destiny that shapes men's ends, roughhew them as they may. Not a few people of the North, who are generally inclined to fair play for the Negro, have been unfavorably impressed by the crime statistics presented by pleaders for Southern reactionaries. These figures always show that an excessive proportion of criminals are drawn from colored communities, and northern whites, with Americans habitual veneration for statistics, have frequently inferred that the South's barbarous attitude toward the Negro is in some measure justified. Judge Atwell has given some of them an opportunity to learn better. During his tenure on the New York bench Judge Atwell has investigated attorneys, bullyragged witnesses and in some cases prevented defendants from presenting effective evidence in their defense. He told one attorney his conduct would get him a prison in the 1960s if the case were being tried in Texas and informed his client, a white woman, that it was not right for her to live close to Negroes and advised her to move to another neighborhood. We suspect that Northern white people, having observed Judge Atwell's conduct either in the courtroom or the newspapers, will be able to read Southern crime figures in a new light.

Wise managers never touch a show when it reaches the hit production that "Blackbirds" has. And yet, Low Leslie, always ready to dedy traditions, adds a tower of strength by putting Johnny Hudgins in a show already packed with outstanding stars in the world of the Negro theatre such as Adelside Hall, Bill Robinson, Alda Ward and Jim Moore. "In his line," said Lew Leslie, "Johnny Hudgins is the peer. I wanted him originally for my production of "Blackbirds of 1928" but previous contractual arrangements precluded the possibility of his coming to New York. Now that he is here I cannot permit him to return to London, even though it is at a tremendous expense to me, "Blackbirds" is a great show at the present time. With Johnny Hudgins it will be the greatest Negro show, that has ever been staged anywhere. --- Edgescombe 6461.

Social Snapshots Geraldyn Dismond NOW that the eternal question, "When are you leaving for Chloago?" has expended itself, now that the honk, honk of automobiles, headed in the direction of the Windy City is loat on the breeze, now that the chug, chug of engines, bearing their heavy burden of Elkdom is erased from memory, we may perhaps be able to settle down again and do some real work. A. BOBBY FREEMAN, popular little student of Atlanta University, Atlanta Georgia, who left last week for her home in the South, after a very enjoyable vacation spent here with her aunt, Miss Geraldine Morris, at 574 St. Nicholas Avenue. Several brilliant affairs were staged in honor of Miss Freman, most notable of which was the one at the "Dark Tower", given just a few days before the little visitor left our city. "Bobbye" as she was familiarly known to the locals of the younger generation, won instant favor and her return here next year will be eagerly awaited. Again Folks, the inimitable J. William Clifford staged another "too bad party, Saturday night at his artistically decorated studio apartment in the fashionable section of Manhattan Avenue. The occasion was in honor of Attorney and Mrs. Julian Rainey of Boston. Mass. Of course there is always something thrilling about J. William's parties, but this one seemed to have surpassed all other like events in several respects and caused no end of chatter. To the fortunate ones who have previously attended J. Clifford's parties it is needless to offer a description. And to the unfortunate ones, if you really know what it means to have the time of your young lives, why in some way get a bid to one of these exclusive affairs. The social elite of Boston and Washington was well represented. There was fun galore from the time the distinguished guests were greeted by the handsome host until the last farewells were given. In fact, the entire evening was one uninterrupted sequence of joyful surprises. Charming matrons, beautiful debutantes, and handsome Beau Brummels, blended into a perfect group of cultured merrymakers.

Birthdays don't come but once a year, so one should celebrate while he may. If no one throws you a party, why not get it up yourself and ask all to join in the chorus? At any rate, here goes—Mrs. Lutilla V. Douglas and daughter, Anne C., spent last week-end in Red Bank, New Jersey, celebrating the birthday of the youngest daughter, Helen E. Douglas. Such lasted for two days, and wasn't it a jolly time we had? Birthday dinner, theatre party at Asbury Park, evening festee and all. Helen was the recipient of many beautiful presents.

In fact, from the press, notices, talks and all, you would think that the whole population was for rushing to Chicago. If the city of New York dolled up last year, the city of Chicago will try to go it 100 degrees better. Everything about the city will don gala wear, and the place may become so crowded that even a mosquito will not be able to find stinging space "at-t-all". We looked around to see if there was anybody left in New York and located a few faithfuls at that. Even Geraldyn Dismond hath deserted the Tattler to attend the Convention. Just what a convention is—is beyond me—but—if it convenes—then, that's a convention! * * * Better buy the Tattler next week. That is, all ye faithful who fain didst try to get to Chicago, but could not get there at all. The Tattler shall cover the convention activities in all its glory.

THE FIRST WEDDING OF THE MARRIAGE OF THE MISSING MARRIED WOMAN MISS EVELYN REED and MRS. ROBERT ANDERSON of San Bernardino, California. MISS EVELYN REED and MRS. ROBERT ANDERSON of San Bernardino, California. 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 Jackie Nobile, Editor of Lonesome Hearts Column, Inter-State Tattler. The most delightful letter came only yesterday in answer to one that was published in the Lonesome Hearts column a few weeks ago. Tell me, do you MISS EVELYN REED and M San Bernardino, California. not think it is a wonderful communication? "In your column of the Tattler for August 3, there was a very interesting letter of inquiry: 'Could a gentleman appreciate a woman of refinement and education, even though she be not beautiful of face or form?' "In this age the world seems on its toes following phantoms. And the world's theatre is the great outer show which seems to be all that counts or is worth while to a great majority. Yet, there are a few, who like Diogenes, walks the streets with a lamp, proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the eyes are often deceived and not able to see the reality. All men love the beautiful; yet the mere outer shell is not always what the man of thought looks for. It is that inward beauty which shows the sunny soul, void of darkness and shadows. In a person who reflects such a soul, regardless to outward appearance, there will be found the most lovable beauty. Most real men look for a woman of this kind and would appreciate her." * * * The Lonesome Heart from Ohio sends out another love call: "I, being the only girl to have a letter in your column last week, I am flashing back an answer to the following missive: "I would like to get in communication with the Dinty Miss who sent in the enclosed request for a gentleman friend last week'." * * * Cupid's arrows fly even from the heart of business; "I am a lonely young business man, 34 years of age and would like to meet a girl between the ages of 20 and 25. Will consider matrimony if she means well and is looking forward to a bright future. She must be good-looking and prepared to assume the responsibilities of a co-worker in business. Will find same in me. Photos exchanged." "Dear Jackie Nobile: Desiring to meet a real, real sweetheart through your appreciated column.

My complexion is fair and I have black, straight hair, black eyes and sharp nose. Am five feet tall, weigh — unfortunately — (smile) 135 pounds. Have a good position at present. People call my personality very pleasing and I can discuss intelligently most any subject. I am crazy about good shows, dancing, swimming, auto rides and rowing. I also play the piano. I desire to communicate with a fellow around the ages of 24 or 28—could be younger—about five feet tall, light or good brown complexion who dresses well. Must be neat and like the things I've mentioned." I think if I were a Lonesome Heart I certainly would hasten to the side of this lovely lass. Wouldn't you? IRS. ROBERT ANDERSON of Miss Eva T.

The laughs come thick and fast when this trio swing intoction and how. This Wiltshire is one of the best straight character AMERICA'S LEADING LAFAY artists, if not the best, in the profession today. He's the best feeder and a corking good foil. He is naturally gifted along these lines and his work is a treat.

Under the able handling of a director like Lew Leslie, this combination, Sandy, Sam and George would prove a banner attraction for a downtown production.

The singing features are good. COLORED THEATRE" YETTE at 132nd ST. the dancing, especially by the chorus, great and the comedy a riot. Russell Lee, Elenore Johnson (blues singer), Daisy Wright and this Duke boy take care of the song numbers. Montross (Apus) Brooks, Yonder, Inez Dennis and three little maids, two of the chorus please, in a specialty. They are: Harriet Colloway and Florence Latney. Miss Dennis, who stages all the dance numbers, is in a large measure responsible for the excellence of the production. She is a wonderful little dancer and has the knack of imparting her knowledge to the girls she has to train. It's only a question of time when she will get an assignment with some big production. As a matter of fact, she would prove a very valuable asset to Lew Leslie. bcloved America.

If there is one fact that stands out like a rum nose at a clergymen's convention it is the need of some kind of actors' protective organization. I did not just bring this idea down from the mountaintop. Several somewhat less brilliant men have broached it before. Among the sage fellows who have seen the need of an effective organization to prevent performers from being constantly gyped are Messrs. Robinson, Miller, Randall and Salem Tutt Whitney. Mr. Robinson, who is a year-round Santa Claus to sick, stranded and otherwise defunct colored performers, was moved to his latest remarks on the subject by the plight of the troupe recently stranded in the West Indies. Whenever a colored performer gets in a hole and needs a gang of bucks to climb out on they send for Mr. Robinson to pass the hat. He is expected to encourage the collection with a liberal donation from his own jeans. They seem to think he is a one-man eleemosynary institution. It's a sound idea as long as it works; but it is a sure thing it can't work indefinitely. Mr. Robinson is bound to get old in the course of time and finally he will pass on to the Valhalla of perfect tap dancers. When that day comes the bottom will fall out of the benefit market. ALONG THE LINES OF EQUITY Three hundred dollars were stranded in the West Indies. Mr. does. On the way to the cable-colored actors, despite much tax been able to effect an organization or irresponsible producers. It's that sermon again and preach it. The colored performer needs Equity. Such an organization can for its members, one of the fear-compelling producers to put up two weeks salary for every month the show discontinued on the given the performers the organ enough to pay their railroad fare keep a check on producers who ways. Whenever a producer had with members of the organization judgments on future control Such an organization would quip irresponsible producer and the tence. Nobody can say that would like carpenters and undertakers know where they money is come kind of work Equity has been done that organization collected $200 members would have otherwise done. I believe such an organization quality of acting. In the present it keeps an unusually conscientious centrated on his art. Half the time on his hoofing or his patter he is as much as half his salary at the. Finally, I know just the right organizing the actors in an efficient and address, as well as his quality mittee or representative of the pro- hundred dollars were needed to fetch home men in the West Indies. Mr. Robinson raised it. In the way to the cable office he lamented the victims, despite much talking on the subject, had to effect an organization to protect them from insurable producers. It's my idea that he should on again and preach it louder. Colored performer needs an organization fashion such an organization could work out a standard numbers, one of the features of which might be the producers to put up a cash bond sufficient for salary for every member of the company. It discontinued on the road without due notice performers the organization could wire their pay their railroad fare home. A legal department check on producers who fleece their companies never a producer had failed to keep all his members of the organization its legal departmentments on future contracts and compel him the organization would quickly drive the gyp profitable producer and the one-week producer our body can say that would not be a good thing, writers and undertakers' helpers, like to work since they money is coming from on pay day. The York Equity has been doing for white actors and organization collected $200,000 in back salaries and would have otherwise lost. Have such an organization would indirectly impacting. In the present unsettled conditions of an unusually conscientious actor to keep his on his art. Half the time when his mind outfitting or his patter he is wondering if he is going half his salary at the end of the week. I know just the right man to undertake to the actors in an efficient union. I will give us, as well as his qualifications, to any representative of the profession on request. Three hundred dollars were needed to fetch home the actors stranded in the West Indies. Mr. Robinson raised it. He always does. On the way to the cable office he lamented the fact that colored actors, despite much talking on the subject, have not yet been able to effect an organization to protect them from crooked or irresponsible producers. It's my idea that he should preach that sermon again and preach it louder. The colored performer needs an organization fashioned after Equity. Such an organization could work out a standard contract for its members, one of the features of which might be a clause compelling producers to put up a cash bond sufficient to cover two weeks salary for every member of the company. Then if the show discontinued on the road without due notice being given the performers the organization could wire them at least enough to pay their railroad fare home. A legal department could keep a check on producers who fleece their companies in other ways. Whenever a producer had failed to keep all his obligations with members of the organization its legal department could obtain judgments on future contracts and compel him to pay off. Such an organization would quickly drive the gyp producer ,the irresponsible producer and the one-week producer out of existence. Nobody can say that would not be a good thing, for actors, like carpenters and undertakers' helpers, like to work steady and know where they money is coming from on pay day. This is the kind of work Equity has been doing for white actors and last year that organization collected $200,000 in back salaries which its members would have otherwise lost. I believe such an organization would indirectly improve the quality of acting. In the present unsettled conditions of the stage it keeps an unusually conscientious actor to keep his mind concentrated on his art. Half the time when his mind ought to be on his hoofing or his patter he is wondering if he is going to get as much as half his salary at the end of the week. Finally, I know just the right man to undertake the job of organizing the actors in an efficient union. I will give his name and address, as well as his qualifications, to any responsible committee or representative of the profession on request. dancing good.

The three comedians, "Dusty Fletcher, Roscoe Montella and John Mason ably take care of the comedy situations. As usual, it's a two-in-one affair. The first part of a musical comedy nature, then a dramatic sketch sandwiched in and then the musical-comedy end closing out. Susie Sutton is featured in the "She Wolf", ably assisted by George Randoll, Fannie Lane, Billy Andrews, Ted Blackman and Artie Cain. Miss Sutton, as the "She-Wolf" lures Barrington Carter, an inventor, away from his wife. She attempts to sell Carter's invention to Billy Andrews. Randoll plays role of an underworld character and Artie Cain and Ted Blackman, inject a bit of comedy into the sketch as the maid and butler respectively. Miss Lane is the loving wife. Naturally, the villainous woman comes to an untimely end at the hands of her victim. The offering is fairly well done throughout. The closing half of the musicalcomedy end of the program find Eloise Bennett, Artie Cain and a little new comer in Dollie McCormich. are featured in a nifty number. Then comes a number of comedy bits including the inevitable bed-room situation, that has been worked to death these many weeks here in Harlem.

The coast boxing marvel who caused Damon Runyon,—"America's" famous descriptive sports authority to simply rave over him, has been a long time arriving as they say in the boxing parlance. Thompson is one of those rare finds that make pleasant the slumberings of fight magnates and managers.

To a man on the fence it did appear that Thompson was one of those over ballyhooed phenoms who wind to the stygian caverns of failure as in the case of Carl Morris, Fred Fulton, Bob Lawson, Larry Estridge, Willie Walker, et al. The fact that he had only dropped a few decisions in more than a hundred battles, meant absolutely nothing to the wisecrackers who profess to know their "cauliflowers" better than any other variety of garden fruit. Dundee, is one of the best welterweights since the days of Honey Mellody, and if the likeable colored boxer can hang a defeat upon the lantern-jawed Italian, the fistic world will be at his feet and "Damon", the seer of the New York American sports department, will be hailed as a prophet worthy of the purple toga that only princes and kings adorn.

That Godfrey softened up Risko until he may never be the same fighter again, was apparent in the Cleveland's barber's embrogiio with Roberto Roberti.

Lincoln Rained Out— Braves Lose George Lyons's Cathedral Giants of Harlem chalked up their seventh straight victory when they defeated the New York Colored Braves at Jasper Oval in the morning game of a double-header by a 9 to 3 score. Their afternoon game at McCombs Dam Park was called in the seventh inning on account of rain, with the Cathedrals in a 2-2 deadlock with the New York Astors. The major part of the credit for the morning victory goes to Johnny Grouix, the Cathedral's pitcher, who allowed only four safe hits and was the Braves' master at all times. "Chick" Martin, at third for the victors, formerly with the Philadelphia Colored Giants, was the batting hero of the fray with a triple, two doubles and a single out of four times at bat. Blue and Robbie, alternating on the mound for the Braves, were touched for seventeen safe blows. Scott, the backstop, accounted for two of the Braves' four hits. In the secnod game Zachar, the Giants' twirler, got away to a rather rocky start when two runs were scored on a batsman being hit by one of his pitches, followed by a walk and a brace of hits. However, that was his only bad inning, for from then on not a single Astor ALHAMBRA The "Million Dollar Ballroom" The place for the elite, atop of the Alhambra Theatre, 7th Ave. & 126th Street.

J., August 25, 1928.—The Men's Singles Title of the American Tennis Association was taken on Saturday by Edgar G. Brown of Chicago, Ill. Brown defeated Theodore Thompson of New York in a thrilling five set match by a score of 3-6: 6-4: 6-1: 3-6: 6-2. Brown was Thompson's master throughout the entire match. Brown's comeback was one of merit, after having been out of the game for two years. Brown was the National Champion in 1922 and 1923. His victory gives him permanent possession of the Dr. H. S. McCard Trophy on which Thompson also held two legs. In the semi-final round Brown eliminated the 1927 champion, E. Sait in a well fought match. Too much can not be said of Brown's court generalship and sportsmanship; a striking example of the latter was demonstrated in the fourth set when Ted slipped in returning a ball near the side line. Brown instead of taking immediate advantage of his opponent's position played an easy stroke allowing Thompson to return to position before completing the rally. This act brought the gallery to their feet with a thundering applause. The women's singles championship was regained by Miss Lulu 5 0 Ballard of Philadelphia who outstroked her opponent, Miss Isadora and Channells of Roanoke, Va., formerly of Chicago, Ill.

Some one said youth was the most elusive, pervasive thing in the realm of social endeavor.

Then too, he is no picayune four flusher. Hard work, that's all. C. J. does not believe in too much social contentment. This contentment should come after one has won his spurs in business.

Its premier smoker served the double purpose of entertaining a large number of friends and of installing the first group of officers in a most elaborate fashion. The following popular young Brooklynites were chosen to lead the organization: John King, president; Geo. Bossell, vice-president; Anton Niles, treasurer; Fred Perry, secretary. The program included addresses by Middleton Harris, who installed the newly elected officers; Counsellor Clarence Johnson, Seifert Pyle and finally the officers themselves. It was further augmented by a musical entertainment and rounded-out with the serving of a large collation. The club is well worthy of the many compliments that it has received. Its slogan "A nobler cause hath no man than the uplift of his fellowmen" is an indication of the lofty ambitions of the group. Its program is an elaborate one being moulded about "Negro development" along intellectual social, athletic, political, charitable and economic lines.

For Railroad Men THE MISSING MAN ALONZO GOVERN In the next issue of the Inter-State Tattler will appear a new department in the interest of railroad men conducted by Alonzo Govern whose long contact with the railroad industry qualifies him to present the issues pertaining to the men and management in a comprehendable manner. As a former organizer for the International he knows the needs and desires of the men, as an employee of different railroad systems he is familiar with the fine points and shortcomings of the managements. This department is established in the hope that the many differences will be ironed out, and the men and management are both requested to use this department to that end. The Inter-State Tattler welcomes the railroad group and hopes that their support will justify the establishment of a department in their interest. P. S.—Council No. I.
