No. 43, Friday, Oct. 26, 1928 New York and Brooklyn in Race for Leadership of “Queen of the Classic” M'ss PHIPHI JONES, pretty and popular Harlemite, and Miss Clara m Leyba, one of Brooklyn’s fascinating schoolgirls, are tied for the lead In the Tattler’s “Queen of the Classic” Contest. Both young ladies have 105,000 votes each. In the first official published standing of con- testants it is shown that some of the most popular girls are down at the fag end of the list, while others less popular are making progress toward the top of the heap. Principal among these are the Misses Julia Winship, Marguerite Ellerby, Edith Wormley, . Mae Holmes. Inez Quinn and Ulma Banks, all of whom are well-known Harlemiites. Miss Ellerby is the daughter of the proprietor of the ‘Marguerite Tea Room, Miss Win- ship is an honor student in college and Miss Wormley is one of the active members of the popular Zo Phangs Club. Miss Quinn needs no introduction she might be de- scribed as “Tattler-made,” and Miss Banks has been a fixture at the Savoy since its opening night, always smiling at you when buying tickets. - Runners-up to Miss Jones and Miss Leyba are the charming ‘Mable McIntosh and Marie Hick- man, “The Alhambra Girl.” Both are tied for second position with 60000 votes each. Close hehind follows Daisv Henderson, “The At- lantic Citv Girl.” Gav Ineram, Mar- garet Tnniss. Margaret Salters. Bil- He Yates. Ethlvn. Smith and Beat- rice Walker Willis. From this froup “is expected to come one of the winners. Some of those who have inart entered the contest are: Daisy Williams Patchoeue, N. Y.: Esme BRickheck, and Flora West- entt. Elsewhere in the Tattler will be found the official standing. 4% Cabelas aAdalyczation Of tile votes will show that the two lead- ing contenders for the title of Queen of the Classic’ have ob- tained just ten one-year subscrip- tions or its equivalent. while the young ladies who are tied for sec- ond place have just half that many. This is mentioned here to impress contestants with the possibility of them getting into the lead simply by sending into the Tattler office between now and press time sub- scriptions equal to 100.000 votes. Contestants are again reminded to make their report to the Contest Editor once every week, preferably on Saturdays. Those who have not brought or sent in their photos are urged to do so immediately. Hoover Upholds South on Race Question Herbert C. Hoover is entirely sympathetic with the South on the race question and in full accord with the policy to eliminate all Negroes from Jeadership, asserts T. J. Willis. one of the leading ex- ponents of Lily-Whiteism. Jn support of this claim Willis says that at the Kansas City con- vention former Senator Irvine Len- root of Wisconsin gave him the “Queen of the Classic” Contestants’ Standing NAME CITY VOTES Phiphi Jones, New York......0.....0.0ecmeeceeeeeeeeees 105,000 Clara Leyba, ‘Brooklyn ...........0. 2 emcee eee emeeeeeees 105,000 Mabel McIntosh, New York...........cme.eeeeeemeeeee es 50,000 Marie Hickman, New York.........m+c.eesmeeceeeeceess 50,000 Daisy Henderson, Atlantic City.....................+--- 35,000 Gay Ingram, New York.............0ceceeeeeeeeeeseeses 35,000 - Margaret Inniss, New York...0.....-......ceeeeeereeees 35,000 Margaret Salters, Bronx —...........00eeceee se eeeceeess 35,000 Billie Yates, New York...........cecceeeeececeeceeseeee 10,000 Ethlyn Smith, New York........0.... cee eee eeeeceeeeeees 10,000 Beatrice Walker Willis, New York..............+-22+++++ 10,000 Edith Wormley, Brooklyn..............csmececeeeeeeeees 10,000 Julia Winship, Brooklyn................ceeeeeeeeeeeeees 10,000 Margauritte Ellerby, Jamaica .....0.....e0ceeeeeeemeeees 10,000 Elsie Woods, New.

We are going to have a white Republican party in the South.” Here is Willis’ version of what happened at Kansas City, with Mr. Hoover in the background: “When Perry Howard and his delegates arrived in Kansas City they were lined up with Mr. Butler of Masaa- chusetts and Hilles of New York, who were leaders in the party op- posing the nomination of Mr. Hoo- ver. Butler controlled the entire delegation from his State, while Hilles had half of New York’s vote in his pocket; but Perry Howard and his gang had not been seated and we were up there to fight the recognition and prepared to cast our full strength for Hoover. “Mr. Hoover stayed in his office at Washington, being personally represented in Kansas City by for- mer Senator Irvine Lenroot of Wis- consin. Learning of the fight be- tween white and black factions of the party from Southern States, Hoover was apprised of the fact by @ personal friend. “Hoover is entirely in sympathy with the South on the race ques- tion, since he has lived in Cali- fornia, where the Orient has caused so much émbarrassméent. He un- derstands the situation down here. He called Mr. Lenroot in Kansas City and told him to bring utmost pressure to bear on the Creden- tials Committee for the recognition and seating of the white delegates from the Southern States. “But Lenroot, his personal man- ager at the convention, advised against the fight, saying that the nomination was already assured in spite of the Butler-Hilles opposi- tion, and if the race issue were forced at that time it would result in unnecessary embarrassments. “This was Hoover’s answer: ‘In that case you tell Mr. Willig and others representing the white groups that after my nomination, if I am nominated, the Negro lead- ers will be replaced by white men. We are going to have a white Re- publican party in the South.’ “And that is exactly what has happened. Here in Mississippi Perry Howard and his gang are the same as out. He and his leaders nave been indicted by the Federal Jrand Jury and the white faction’s Presidential electors are to be on he ballot. That means that after November 6 the Negro faction here will be repudiated by the Repub- icans themselves in this State. It vill mean that party affairs. will lave passed into the hands of repu- able white men. “All this background is given to rove that the Republican party to- lay has changed its attitude. It yelieves that. there are a large umber of citizens in the South vyho would vote the Republican icket if the party in thier section s controlled by white men, and he party now intends to give hem that privilege. é “Regeneration of the Republican arty South of the Mason-Dixon Hard to Choose When: 1. One candidate states frankly that he does not want the NEGRO vote and forthwith allies himself with the bigoted, in- tolerant K. K. K. endorsing THE LILY-WHITE domination of . the Republican Party in the South? : 2. He admits that he is only a machine Without the HUMAN TOUCH—which means that no matter how the people feel about it, the machine will act automatically, in accordance with the push-button system of the CONTROLLING INTERESTS if it is installed (elected in November?) 3. He admits his ignorance of a remedy for National ills and a relief system for dominating issues except by a promise of hard work and study? Which means another RED-TAPE SYSTEM while momentous issues wait and wait and wait equit- able disposition. 4. He is known to be the protege of Big Business Interests, Monopolies, and Industrial Trust Organizations; and therefore NOT A PEOPLE’S MAN? (You know that kind of Prosperity, so-called, while OUR PEOPLE GO JOBLESS AND HUNGRY.) © 5. He allows his colleagues and henchmen to do the dirtiest kind of unscrupulous campaigning, then attempts to hide behind the old ‘alibi screen—IGNORANCE OF THEIR METHODS—and tries to cover by a very questionable sincerity, a perfunctory reprimand to the offender? THE DANGER HAS THEN BEEN DONE. Remember, the K. K. K. does not give its support to a traditionally opposing party candidate GRATIS* It expects cer- tain beneficial concessions to Its will and that is most certainly NOT TO OUR BEST INTEREST. . The Republican Party makes the statement that they have the Negro vote “sewed up”, which is as good as telling us that we HAVEN’T INTELLIGENCE enough to know our own minds. | They really believe that. : Here is the truth: é From state after state there come well authenticated reports of the determination of our people to BREAK THAT TRADITION AND VOTE WHOLE-HEARTEDLY FOR AL SMITH.. Such a demonstration as has not been evinced for any Democratic can- didate since 1861. . The Republicans interpret this as follows: Our vote is sup- posed to be largely wet since we like our gin and beer, and in order to submerge the “real issues,” THAT IS GIVEN AS A REASON for our phenomenal support of AL SMITH. Of course that is a d—ned lie and we will show on what basis our premise 1s founded. Our issues are clean cut and we are not condoning any quibbling. 1. We want and need straightforwardness. Al Smith has that quality. _ | 2. We need dependable jurisprudence and a level head at the | helm of our government, fortified with experience in such matters and not filled with any theory of, or such as “A FAR REACHING AND NOBLE EXPERIMENT.” Governor Al Smith has such a head upon his own shoulders and has more than satisfactorily demonstrated his equitable dis- pensation of the law. 3. We need an experienced, impartial executive. Al Smith be- lieves that ALL MEN are by nature free and equal as per this clause In the Virginia Bil! of Rights, and he is the personifica- tion of this ideal quality. He lives it President Alfred E. Smith would not veto: 1. The Dyer Antl-lynching Bill. = 2. The abolition of the Jim Crow Law. 3. The National enfranchisement of all Negro citizens.. Nor any other segregating or ostracizing clause, up for his signature, that—IF HE DID NOT SIGN—would take: away privileges and rights of a certain raclal group of the natural citizens of this United States. . . Do you want an Intelligent and just disposition of these is- sues? Do these Issues affect each and every one of us alike Individually and racially? Does this look as if we were back- ing Al Smith for the PHENOMENAL REASON given by the Lily White Republicans? i. e., Gin and Beer? You know ‘the answer. Answer the above written question with the mightiest weapon that can be put In your possession—THE BALLOT. Make those dastardly discounters feel it. You are fighting BIGOTRY AND INTOLERANCE. Al Smith Is fighting BIGOTRY AND INTOLERANCE. You are fighting PREJUDICE AND RACE DISCRIMI- NATION. : Al Smith is fighting PREJUDICE AND RELIGIOUS. DISCRIMINATION. f Give all the support at your disposal to the man, who In & order to gain his objective, will have to fight as much for you & as for himself and his convictions. . His sympathies are our sympathies. : ge. @ His policies are our policies. VOTE FOR ALFRED EMANUEL SMITH and accompany him. to: victory on his RECORD OF -PROVEN EXECUTIVE EFFICIENCY AND > HONESTY.

SIMMONS, ;, 5 Image Poor Social Snapshots Geraldyn Dismond WHENEVER there's an invitation out by any club like the Sphinx, the Audbons, the Osbiny's and many others, I always know there's to be an enjoyable evening for me. This time, the Sphinx Club sponsored an affair Friday evening last and wasn't it just the darlingest thing? In fact, it was just too bad. As is usually the case in New York, the crowd did not appear until twelve. But, no matter how small the crowd was in the beginning, it started and kept up until the end. The Casino was decorated a la Sphinx style—Dim lights, palms swaying from above, here and there, a huge Sphinx canopy in the middle of the ceiling, boxes and lodges, holding the various clubs, organizatins and what not of New York City, Brooklyn and other points. The place seemed to take on an Egyptian air. Though of course, there wasn't sand, costuming camels and all. But there WERE Sphinxes galore and the members had on Egyptian tops.—Call them whatever you wish. THE CHILDREN PAUL JR., and GLORIA MEERES, the adorable children of the dancers, PAUL and THELMA MEERES, who left Friday with their Aunt, Florence Mecres for their first visit to their grandparents, in Nassau, whom they have never seen. They will stay in the Bahamas all winter. I always did like Vernon Andrades orchestra anyway. They just played out of this world and the dancers danced right into it. All kinds of souvenirs were given away, band box straw hats, caps of all colors, sizes, assortments, noisettes, and lastly what do you think happened? In the middle of one of the dreamy dances the canopy began to flutter, flap and flop. It rose and fell and rained baloons. It actually did. There was a mad scramble to get one, even at such a dignified affair. It's really enjoyable to be human at times. Nearly everybody pounced upon a balloon and in the pouncing, wrought havoc to same, for all you heard was explosions and all. Bang, bang, boom, my dears, you would have thought that the place was raided. There were so many there. * * * It would take pages to fill in all those who graced the affair. But the clubs represented did full duty at that. Every box or lodge that held a group sponsored the Club's pennant, flag, standby or whatever you would. Among the clubs noted were the Ambassadors, Jolly Fellows, Midnight Rounders, Club of Life, Mah Jong Girls, Ampico Exclusive Club, J. W. West Club, Jolly Social Club, Charmontl Girls, Tipp Beavers, Fox Social Club, Virginia Social Club, Summer Bachelors—private homes and lodges, Mr. H. A. Parker, Seoul Miller, Al. Knowles, Mr. James Smith, Mrs. A Williams, Rose Fubello, Really, I have said volumes about this affair, I pause before I am sued for favoritism. It was an enjoyable evening even if I didn't get there early and didn't stay late. May the Sphinx Club give another affair soon here's three cheers for them, and if you don't like this column, read "Men Like Gods". * * * Professor J. H. Gregg, of State University, Orangeburg, S. C., and Prof. Beckman of Howard University, Dept. of Economics and Business Administration are studying at Columbia University on a year's leave of absence. * * * Sunday night is always professional night in the African Room of the swank Club Harlem and last Sunday the guests of honor were the members of the Just a Minute Company which shows nightly at the Ambassador on Broadway. In the company are Maude Russell, and her Ten Bronz Beauties among whom is Billie Yarbo, the eccentric cherine, and Peek-a-Boo Jimmie and his Bronz Boys of Harmony. --- As is true of all Club Harlem parties, the going was very gay. It couldn't be otherwise with Bob Williams leadinig the racket and Ben Turpin (I'll be seeing you) and his hats. To begin with the orcehstra is jam-up. It travels under the name of its leader Louis Russell and the boys turn their instruments every sort of way but loose. Then the Syncopated Capers presented by Frank Montgomery and featuring it) Gregory and Tooms and the Whirlie Girlies is all there. The songs were written especially for them and can they shake them. Not satisfied with that, the Club Harlem's African Room has Bob Williams (Oh Boy!) as male host and announcer, and he is the berries. He has a line that just won't stop, a dance that is too tight, a voice that strokes you right down, plays a plano and uke out of this world and— well, we'll let that drop. The suave Johnny Cobb, who needs no ballyhoo, is manager of the new club which is owned by Cyril Reed, the brother-in-law of Johnny Carey. You have to give them credit, it is a righteous place and decorated in the best Aaron Douglas African style. --- Evelyn Lancy, one of Harlem's most gracious hostesses celebrated the anniversary of her birth Wednesday night with a whooping good party at her apartment. Always attractive, the house was especially dressed up in streamers of yellow and orange crepe paper and one room was set aside for the presents, cards, and telegrams which came to wish the Evelyn many more of 'em. The dining room table carried out the color scheme and was weighed down with birthday cakes, candies and nuts, and way late from the kitchen came THE MUSEUM OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY Lovely LENA DUKES, who although born in the ritzy city of Boston, saw the advisability of becoming a Harlemite quite some time ago. the best crab a la Newberg, and all the trimmings.

It relieves the monotony of "sameness" in all things. It causes the public to drop in because there is something new And those who drop in usually enjoy themselves, if they do not join in the fun, they get as much fun out of watchinig the merrymakers in all their revelry. This time the Savoy sponsored an Arabian ball. Friday night last. Began early and ended just in time for the merymakers to fly home and don working togs. S'a crime the way New Yorkers can't sleep. Yet, they seem to survive it at that. The ball was really so different from all other Savoy attractions. There were costumes by the score, a thousand, oh and many more. Daring costumes, beautiful costumes, comic ones and all of that. Twas a tit for tit and a tat for tat. You never saw so many females of the spices before. And half of them were men masquerading at that. They did act so ladyish. Whoever heard of such a thing. Mmmmmm. Even the orchestra The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photo of a person's face, but no discernible details can be made out. FRANCIS HUBBARD can't help being beautiful, nor could LEONARD HARPER help being clever enoug to secure her for his revue, nor can I help raving about her. Arabian style. The music took on an arabian tone and the refreshments tasted arabian, I am sure. The only thing missed was the "Allah be merciful, Allah be praised" worship order. They might have had it before I got there. Even members from Blackbirds like our own "Bojangles" Robinson, Johnny Hudgins and Mildred, from Show Boat Alma Smith and oh ever so many others. The King of revelry did reign supreme. Even to the Lindberg hoppers. Well, they all had a jolly good time. And Savoy triumphed once again. They say that shock are good for the soul. Maybe so, provided you can recover from them. If you can't, you might as well tell it to someone. Then, there's peace in your soul. I dropped in on our social editor, Geraldyn Dismond the other day. And swooned. I was tongue-tied, I forgot to say "Good morning" to Dr. Dismond and I am sure he wonders where my manners are even now. It was exactly half past FRANCIS HUBBARD can't help LEONARD HARPER help being his revue, nor can I help raving twelve by my watch which never keeps time, but it was that time anyway. Wherein all good little New Yorkers are up and abroad? And, lo and behold, what did I see? Geraldyn in her glory housecleaning before me. Really and trully, she was. Washing woodwork. She had done most everything else before I came. Such spick and spaneness. I could have wept. It was a relief to see the other side of her. Because she is really human and that is all. If upon reading this, I get the dickens, I'll buy a farm and raise some chickens.

There 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 25 cent 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. is a reason. During the week, all the Paradise will have its best foot forward and if such a thing is possible bigger and better times will be held.

Afterwards the entire club went to a party given by the Gauncho Club at 11 West 13th Street, the residence of Mr. Garland Lamb, where they spent a most enjoyable evening. ```markdown ``` On Sunday, October 21, 1928, Mr. Carl Branumm, Treasurer of the Colonial Co-Ed Club had a matinee fantasy in honor of the reorganization of the Club, at his residence, 2071—th Avenue. Everyone had a jam-up time! * * * The Convivial Coterie, an exclusive group of Brooklynites have selected Laurel Garden as a fitting and convenient place in which to celebrate their twenty-fifth anniversary. The elaborate silver and blue invitations were received last week announcing that a banquet as well as a dance will be in form. The committee in charge of the affair is made up of Wm. J. Pitray, Chairman; John A. Allen, Lucius F. Barre, William H. Hollon, Clarence J. Scott, Lawrence W. Grant, F. R. Chisholm, Wm. E. Boyd, Walter Edwards, Hugo V. Fischer. Tel.

This week we are correcting the error made. Iota Tau is not a sorority. It is a Greek letter bridge club. * * * Yes Sir Folks, last Wednesday night was the night of the Bal Des Arts Super Masque Blue Heaven Co-Ed Social Club and Three Masks Syndicate ball and reception held at the Manhattan Casino or Rockland Palace. Speaking of good times, they did enjoy themselves right out and in and unto the end. It was a weird spectacle to behold, everything so different, everyone costumed in something original or unoriginal, entertainments furnished by celebrities and all of that. The beautiful costumes worn by the jolly merrymakers added spice to the program. It was real spicy to boot—so Allah be merciful, Allah be praised. Those who contributed to the evening's entertainment were: Louise Mason, Babe Deeleen, Inez Leggins, W. Emerson, Catherine Dumett, Doris Selby, Lena Mitchell and Johnnie Davis. --- The ever popular King Bees Social Club of which Allen Benton is president carried away first honors in the form of a silver loving cup for the best representative club present. All in all, the affair was one of the biggest that has been given in Harlem during the social season so far. * * * All Harlem is patiently awaiting the annual dance sponsored by a group of pretty girls, which will be given around the early part of November at the Renaissance Casino. Invitations are all ready for this affair and are out te boot. This affair promises to surpass anything this club has given in the last four years and besides, this club is a popular one. Having duly told you this much, I shall now reveal the name of this club. "Just Us Girls". Just a minute folks and let me introduce the club officers and members: Lillian Waters, president; Blanche Pritchette, vice president; Billie Fields, secretary; Grace Martin, treasurer; Bessie Parker, charge de affairs, and Ruth Taylor, Maime Lee and Dora Woodward, members. * * * In appreciation of the co-operation received in Harlem by its hundred members and friends, the officers and directors of the Second Dollar Corporation gave a formal dinner at the Imperial Hall on West 129th Street last Tuesday evening. The main auditorium of the hall with its subdued lights, and artistic decorating proved a most befitting setting for the organization's initial banquet. Covers were laid for 400 and a most delectable as well as attractive menu was served. To make the occasion a more memorable one, the organization engaged two of Harlem's prettiest maidens, Josephine Sternette and Thelma Davis, dressed them upon as pirates and had them mingle among the guests distributing gold edged cigarettes, yes, gratis. The affair really was too bad, too exclusive and too everything and I don't mean maybe. The banquet was one of the Second Corporation's methods of becoming acquainted with the people of Harlem, cooperating with them in the purchase of Real Estate—under first aid conditions and of increasing the membership of the organization. The corporation personnel are. John E. Vallillee, president; Keorge W. Abbott, vice president; Princess Jardine Naakahamwa, assistant director of sales; Frank R. Martin, secretary-treasurer; Armand D. Hopkins, director realty investigation and Jerome Parker, corporation counsel. Among the honored guests were, Cornelius W. McDougald, Counsellor at Law, and toastmaster Augustus C. Fleet, Director of Accounts. Of course the affair was a wow and why not? What with pretty dasmels, clever society matrons, handsome escorts and the decorations—000000h. Yes, it was a success and why not! SAVOY-TOPICS HALLOWEEN dance OH BOY AND soon you'll hear the "Black Cats" meowing and making the nites hedious for the wicked and weary alike. * * * WHY, SAY, DON'T you know that Halloween's not many nites off now? Yes, we'll have some witches. --- NEXT WEDNESDAY nite is the "Black Cats" and the "Witches" note.

Well, he'll be out that nite after resting peacefully these many months. Oh no, not Dobbie his-self; we mean his spirit-self; Dobbie the ghost.

Just think or the good old days you had running with the gang on a night like this. Just remember how you thrown a scare into your baby sister and her little playmates.

SAVOY Worlds Finest Ballroom Lenox Avenue, 140-141st Street LINCOLN First Colored Theatre in Harlem 53 WEST 135th STREET OUR BIG 3 FOR 1 POLICY “HABITS OF 1928” A WHIRL OF LAUGHTER, SONG AND DANCE With a Selected Cast of 25—PEOPLE—25 3 — Big Time Vaudeville Acts — 3 (CHANGED MONDAY and THURSDAY) ON THE SCREEN, THURSDAY TO SUNDAY Clara Bow in “Ladies of The Mob” SURPRISE NITE, EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT See Your Friends and Neighbors on Our Screen All This Week NEXT WEEK “SOMETHING DIFFERENT” A Belliciting Musical Frelic 25—People—25 THE LAFAYETTE Theatre presents Irvin C. Miller's "Brown Skin Models" this week, which is brimful of good entertainment. The cast is fairly strong, with a number of old favorites. The outstanding features are "Billie" Young's clever comedy work, George Crawford's monologue, and John Henderson's acting in the "Porgy" bit. Miss Young is a fine character artist. But her work this week is a treat. She gets many laughs and the warmest applause accorded any of the entertainers. "Billie" scores every time she appears. Oh what a girl and how she can strut her stuff. "Billie's" characterization of a little country Jane is too bad. And when she sings "But After My Laughter Came Tears", there was little more to be desired. She put this number over, "jam up". John Henderson seems to have found himself, his work being much improved. He is seen at his best in the "Porgy" travesty situation, where his portrayal is masterly. George Crawford keeps his audiences laughing with his racy line of chatter. Others who contribute largely to the splendid entertainment are: Eva Metcalf, Lena Curry, Blanche Thompson. Lillian Carroll, Wells and Wells (the latter trapeze artists), and a nifty aggregation of "high yellers", a typical Miller chorus of the old days. The costumes are pretty and audacious and the scenes and situations rather pretty. The music, under the able direction of Cuney Conners, is well taken care of. This able director has been with Irvin C. Miller quite a while and contributes heavily towards the success of these Miller enterprizes. The music, lyrics are by Messers. Razoff and Johnson. THE LINCOLN Theatre presents "Habits of 1928" starring Willie Jackson and a riotous revue fast moving from start to finish. The married life skit featuring Willie Jackson, Louis Dandridge and Lily Yuen is a wow! Gregory & Tooms, dancers, register well, also George Watts. Bessie Guy scores with her fine soprano. The moving pictures taken on the Lincoln stage last week are shown at every performance. The three white vaudeville acts for the latter part of the week are Marie Corilli, sensational novelty; Lera and Spencer, comedy musical skit, and Ryan, in song and dance. Clara Bow in "Ladies of the Mob" is on the screen.

In the mfc for which he has engaged Honey be the object of increasing interest. A Fine Movie FROM now on this column will pay more attention to the movies. Until recently the pictures were apparently produced with the idea of amusing infants and halfwits. But in the last year or so the studios have been turning out an increasing number of films fit for adult entertainment. One of the best I remember was "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," a picture which faithfully portrayed the career of a gold-digger without attempting to retouch the subject and make her appear virtuous. An even better picture, it seems to me, is "The Wedding March," now being shown at the Rivoli. Eric von Stroheim, the star, wears an outfit of gorgeous uniforms right down to the bricks, and the sophisticated way he handles his love scenes is enough to make John Gilbert quit. A considerable part of the picture is projected in natural colors and all of it is synchronized with a sound accompaniment. If you can make it, it's better to see the picture during the morning or early afternoon. From eleven in the morning till six in the evening seats are pintiful in the Rivoli and prices are reasonable. If you miss "The Wedding March" downtown, watch for its appearance in Harlem. You won't regret it. As this column predicted weeks ago, colored actors are being drafted for the talkies. They are getting in because the Negro voice is smoother and easier to reproduce than the attenuated, metallic voice of the Caucasian actor. As it appears that for a considerable time to come the synchronized sound picture, featuring singing and music, will be more successful than the actual talking picture which features dialogue, the outlook for more colored actors breaking in the talkies is quite rosy. Already there are rumors of Porgy being filmed for a talky after its run on the speaking stage. In the meantime Mr. Vidor's "Hallelujah", for which he has engaged Honey Brown and Daniel Haynes, will be the object of increasing interest. numbers. Then Mason scores in Shadow Land. Andrew Bishop as Dick Hardy, master detective, then proceeds to do his stuff and will do it all this week. He rescues Jimmy Basket who is the kidnapped millionaire, from George Randall, who happens to be a crooked doctor, who with the aid of Barry Carter and the wife, lure the victim to a sanitarium. Then Andrew marries the loveable Edna Barr. Doris Rheubottom ,child of song and laughter, scores with a pretty little ballad, entitled: "A Garland of Songs". Then a few minutes later, to make her triumph complete, she sings, "Roses of Yesterday" and after you have heard Doris chirp, you will have had enough as far as the rest of the program is concerned. Boston "Blackbirds" Marks First Time in Theatrical History Two Companies Play Same Revue PLAYGOERS who follow the theatre with any degree of consistency know the unusual history of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" at the Eltinge Theatre. Only once in a decade, if indeed not longer, does a show come to Broadway that looks doomed to failure because of adverse critical opinion and then rises above it to emerge the AMERICA'S LEADING LAFAY 7th AVE.

Already filmed for a talky after its run meantime Mr. Vidor's "Hallelujah", Bryn Brown and Daniel Haynes, will interest. box-office success of the season. And now, paradoxically enough, "Blackbirds" will set a precedent for a Broadway revue in that a second company, an exact replica of the extravaganza now playing at the Eltinge Theatre, will be produced for an extended engagement in Boston next week. This, according to all available data at hand, will be the first time that any producer in America has ever organized a road company of a Gay White Way revue in exact duplicate. There may be those who might point out that second companies of other revues have been seen in the hinterlands from time to time which is true enough. But these were companies seen after the Broadway extravaganzas had toured the chief cities and were, with practically few exceptions, produced by managers other than the Broadway producer who merely sold the scenery and book rights to another manager after he personally had exhausted what he thought was the cream of the trade with his original troupe. It is all the more amazing, therefore, that "Blackbirds of 1928" should reach such heights of success as to make a second company not only necessary, but one that is almost certain to repeat the tremendous success of its original in the Times Square sector.

A London Letter From Greenlee more than glad to hear from you and also glad to hear that you and all the family are well. At this writing I am well and feeling fine, please excuse my delay in writing. When your letter reached Berlin I was in Oslo Norway, and your letter was forwarded to me there and it missed me for I was in London, so I got your letter a couple of days ago: say Brother, I am travelling some, how about it? Glad to hear that you are on the Tattler again. I will send you all the news that I can. The reason why I haven't sent you any pictures I forgot and left my kodak in Berlin with Thelma who is still in Berlin. She is working my act with another girl by the name of Robera Lawrey and will open next month. We opened here at one of the swellest night clubs and restaurant and were a tremendous success. We may stay two months. We are the talk of the town and that's that. Our opening night we were invited after the show to Tannie Johnstones home for supper and did we have a good time? Wine and champagne like water and the the eats were most appetizing; everybody there had a most enjoyable evening. Mr. Johnstone is of the famous team of Layton and Johnstone. Without a doubt they are the most famous and talked of team in England and a credit to the race. Mr. Paul Robeson is the most talked of person in the dramatic world here. I went to see Show Boat, the play that he is starring in, and he is a sensation. The people are wild about him. In one of the papers here a great South African lady crtic said that she had seen all the shows in London and the only thing worth seeing was Mr. Paul Robeson in Show Boat. And if it were not for him that the Show Boat would not float a week. Alberta Hunter is also starring in the show and is going over great. The Four Harmony kings managed by Harold Browning are meeting with great success here and their quartet is the best in England. To make it more clear, they are the last word where quartets are concerned. Mr. Browning and John Payne are the colored artists best friends. I can't give them to much praise, for they are deserving of every thing good that is said about them. We are invited to a bon voyage party given for Miss Marion Anderson by John Payne and it was some farewell party. Among the celebrities there were Layton and Johnstone the Four Harmony Kings, the Harold Browaiings, the Duncan Sisters of the TOPSY and EVA fame, Beatrice Lillie who was such a great success in America. Mr. Rosmond, Thaddeus Drayton, Hilda Rogers, Hazel Sheppard of the team of Greenlee and Drayton and yours truly R. E. Greenlee. The house was crowded, I would love to mention everybodys name but I didn't know half of the guests. The three Eddles, and Jim and Jack a very clever team, are still meeting with great success. Jimmy Fergerson, Walter Richardson and Cora La Red apens to morrow out of town with a white show. Will Garland is meeting with gerat success with his all coloured show (The Brown Birds). I have known Mr. Garland since 1913 when we met in Berlin, Germany. Sam Wooding and his band are meeting with great success in Vienna, Austria. He has a great band. Havn't heard from Louie Douglas, lately, but he was starring in July in Max Rhinehardts play Artiste and was a sensation. Josephine Baker is in Berlin and is a big hit. Her picture is also playing there. Will write you more news in my letter. Your Brother. P. S. Florence Mills' husband, U. S. Kid Thompson, is in Berlin doing a single and has made a big name for himself with the German people. He is a fine fellow. Anything that you can say good about him is O. K. Williams and Taylor are in London this week. They are playing with the show called the "Black Birds" and are meeting with success. The Globe Theatre, Cleveland, Ohio., has "Steamboat Bill", as the musical comedy offering for this week. The principals are; Billy Ewing, Sam Robinson, "Bo" Nickerson, J. C. Davis, Hattie Noel, Bessie Weyne, Tommy Woods, Jackson and Jackson, the Dixie Four and a radio beauty dancing chorus. If you have no regular family physician, get one.

Speaking of Ends— é | Think,” writes K. B., “that there will have to be a - modern revision of end ranking. Hinkey, Shelvin, Hardwick, and Oosterman were masters of end play, but what was wrong with that copper colored streak of lightning—‘Ink Williams’ of Brown University?” EF you are to rate an end on all around value, I don’t think Williams who followed in the wake of the inimitable “Fritz Pollard” at the Brunoin institution of learning, ever had an equal. He was a brilliant forward passer, a matchless receiver, a good punter, and a full carrier second to none. “This correspondent knows of no fleeter runner togged out in mole- skins or in running trunks for that matter than this fellow “Ink William”. Folks rave over Pollard’s speed,—well paste this in your manual and don’t forget it Williams was faster. He was the New England 40, 50, and 70 yard sprint champion at various times during his career at Brown, and once defeated Charlie Paddock. Licking Paddock at 70 yards might be termed no great shucks of a performance, but the coast meteor of 1918-20, was capable of pushing Howard Drew and other cinderpath stars out of the picture. We think highly of ‘Ink Williams’ whenever a discussion of great “All Time” ends comes up. GPEAXING of “Ink Williams”, reminds us of the fact that Paul Quinn CoMege ought to have a fair to middlin football outfit this year under his able coaching. Other appointees this year in the Afro-Ameri- can gridiron loop are: Leslie Giles at St. Paul, Wallace Hawkins at Knoxville, Bill Taylor at Morgan, Sam Barksdale at Union, Brice Taylor, —one armed wizard from California, now at Southern, Charlie West,— Olympic star and one of the greatest gridders in Washington and Jef- ferson history, at Howard, Ted Myers at Lincoln, Reuben Munday at Tuskegee, Major Spaulding at A. and T., and Turner at Sam Houston. “Ey JAMISON, trainer of the Renaissance Big Five, in a recent fanning bee with the writer, regards “Fats” Jenkins as the most valuable man in Colored pro basketball. One of the finest things about Jenkins is his spirit, and we are inclined to account this as big a factor to his team’s success as his guarding, skillful diagnosis of plays, speed, ete. For example, in one of last season’s late games against the Celtics, Jenkins playing on practically one leg, made no attempt to spare him- self. Given ‘Baby’ Banks,—unquestionably the fastest and shiftiest man in the game to guard, Jenkins hobbled around without a murmer until Bob Douglas called him to the sidelines. This season’s opener found him the same old Jenkins. Playing baseball all summer keeps him in wonderful shape, and the “Big Little Man” of the powerful “Rens” looked BIGGER and BETTER this season than ever. Another remark- able feature about this former St. Christopher star, is his durability. “Fats”, while still a comparative youngster in the sense of the word, has been playing basketball easily 12 years. With the possible exception of court tennis, and Jai Ala, the Spanish and Cuban pastime, basketball is the fastest of games,—even swifter with its sudden shifts and full turns of the body than handball or lawn-tennis. Georgia as the outstanding contender with Tommy Loughran of the good looks in second position. We hold no brief for a race boxer just because he happens to be a member of this group, but we do insist that he be given fair treatment along with the rest of the pugs who go in for cauliflowered ears, flattened proboscis’s, et al. If Stribling and Loughran are worthy of mention in the same breath with George God- frey, then we are a candidate for ballast on the return journey of the Graf-Zeppelin. No doubt Stribling and Loughran were given preference over the field because of their youth, strength, and experience mainly. The man that says George Godfrey is an old man, dgesn’t know his sport subjects as well as we do by a thousand leagues or so. Godfrey is much younger than Bob Fitzsimmons was when he took the precious bauble from Corbett. And is five or six years younger than the Corbett who went 23 rounds with young Jeffries before he forget to duck, Jef- fries then was twenty-four. Fitzsimmons was on the wrong side of 35 when he copped the honors, and ‘Gentleman Jim’ was twenty-six. Come on out you screaming reformers and help us secure fair play for the logical successor to Jeems Tunney, the Shakespearian scholar, jn the rather Jarge and dark figure of George Godfrey of Leiperyille, Pa. The Week's Menu Vv looking over the sport calendar we find many interesting topics of moment. Today, dapper little Al Brown sails the seven seas for that dear Paris. The West Indian superman who towers over six feet yet scales a mere 119, is already a World’s Champion, according to a ruling of the N. B. A. (National Busybody’s Association). Brown, a remark- able clean liver, is the best little fighting machine since the McGoyern’s and Dixon’s used to hang around. Tiger Payne, a real fighter who makes the mistake of getting mixed up with chaps who'll hang a knife in his back one of these mornings, just wont stay put. The other night, the setting was all arranged for his demise,—but fortunately the trans- planted Australian sat mum, where a move would mean the end of his career. His defeat of Ernie Schaff who outweighed him 20 pounds was a ring classic. Like Dillon, Mickey Walker, Flowers, and Langford, Tiger Payne shapes up best when he is asked to concede weight lo the big, slow, beefy fellows who can’t seem to stop tumbling over thir own feet.

Archie Searle’s Speed Mer. chants Humble Settlement Five Last Friday night at Alhambra Ballroom, the celebrated ‘“Col- legians” New York State amateur champions, met a foeman worthy of their steel in the Henry Street Settlement Big Five. We've been looking at basket- ball tits for many a day, and we are free to confess that for sheer thrills and speed, this game stands unequalled. It’s rather dif- ficult to place the badge of ‘star’ upon any one individual player of the Collegians in their 32-30 vic- tory that had the packed hall standing on their toes all through- out. Johnny Holt, ‘Horse’ Steele, ‘Crip’ Romney, Jack Livingston, “Bricktop” Wright, and Mills, the elongated pivot, stole the honors at intervals through the hectic moments of play.

New York Aces in a closely fought game by a 29-17 score.. The “Aces” proved themselves real basketball players and made the powerful colored ag- gregation gear the machine in “high” to come out on the right side of the ledger. Saitch, Fiall, Sanders, Jenkins and Mayers were the men selected by Captain Hilton Slocum when the game got under way.

Jenkins was here, there and everywhere ali evening, and only superb work on the part of Kamp- meyer kept his field baskets down to five—a less agile guard and Clarence might have caged an even dozen the way he was work- ing Sunday evening. Saitch piayed swell ball, tossing a shot nearly three quarters the length of the court that made the hall sound as if a Presidential campaign was in progress. Mayers, who rates with the b.est guards of all time, was a thorn in the side of the “Aces” until he was called to the sidelines in order to let “Pappy” Ricks strut his stuff. At whistle time of the first half the colored titleholders were in the van, 16—8. In a hard fought prelim the Scholastics defeated the Chicago Defender Five, the game being enlivened by a brief display of fisticuffs on the party of “Lefty” and Frankie—come over to my gym, boys, and we'll see if you can g0 or not. Fighting is out of place at Renaissance Casino. and Bob Douglas won’t tolerate it. The management has brought two strong teams to the hall up to date, and the fans can expect the same sort of attractions every Sun. day night. Fives of the American Basketball Association, Kingston, Celtics. Visitation Triangles, et al., are the sort of clubs the “Rens” have built their reputation with, and this 1928-9 season will be no different from the preceding ones.

Will the "hope" of the school pull himself together, or will Howard surely win? Part II HAD heard they were afraid of us," said Alford the young medic of the Howard team when he heard of Rutherford's condition, "But I had no idea we'd frighten them into hysterics. May I see the patient?" in his most feigned professional manner. In the afternoon before the debate, Alford entered Yaller's ward. He found the patient apparently quite well, but-weak. He was lying on his back, surrounded by the college physician, Swanson, Ford, Jackson, Morely, and Dr. Epworth no less. He was drawling out an amusing yarn. "The old preacher began his speach like this," Rutherford was saying, "Sisters and Brothers, on the fifteenth of December—I am a modest man, I am—my mother brought into this world two handsome sons, one of whom was your beloved pastor here..." The visitors of Samuel Ukase were smiling. The Howard debater made himself known. "Will you debate this evening?" "O, yes.. I guess so.. I'm not quite dead yet." The physician shook his head. The Howard student forced back a smile. "What seems to be your trouble, Mr. Rutherford?" he asked. "Scared." The day sped on. The debate was scheduled to begin at seven-forty-five p. m. It was now almost eight and Ole Yaller hadn't showed up. Students, visitors, and faculty had gathered in Spiritual Hall to witness the fray. The judges had received their instructions and retired to different sections of the auditorium. Mr. Sackford, as master of ceremonies, dressed in evening clothes, waited nervously at the wings. The unbeaten three, also full-dressed, sat with dignity and sureness at a table on the right. Moreley and Jackson, hamishly decked out, members of the Alverna-team their faces beclouded with anxiety lest their strong man should fall them. occupied a table on the left. The clock struck 8... The audience was restive. Swanson took the situation in hand by marching up front and asking the students to give a few calls. When the echo of the yelling died away, Ole Yaller dragged himself in. He seemed very little interested with what was going on. He sat down with his team-mates and placed his reference cards on the table. OLE YALLER A Character Study "All that time to read just the twenty-third Psalm?" "Couldn't find my tie, neither." Rutherford wore that same baggy suit. His hair was uncombed. But his schoolmates knew him well; they did not laugh. They were greatly relieved when he came in. They gave him a special yell. "Rah-Rah-Rah!! YALLER! Yaller!! Yaller!!!" In this there was a sort of relief for the audience as well as for the debaters. Mr. Stackford strutted out on the stage and meticulously placed himself in a high-backed chair behind a long mahogany table in the center of the tableau, flanked with evergreen and flowers. A pause... Sackford got up and had his say, introducing the debaters by name. Each stood up as his name was called, recognized with a bow—in order named—the chairman, the opposing team, the audience. then took his seat. When time came for Yaller to get thus into action, he sat there shuffling his cards like a gambler. The chairman called his name a second time. He turned with a start. As he stood up, his chair fell backwards. Yaller turned around and picked it up before bowing. A twitter flickered through the audience. A loud zigaboo ham in the rear of members of the home team lost the hall laughed out. The other some of their nerve. The Howard men sat firm. The debate began. /Alford of Howard led off. Resolved that Capital punishment is necessary. He stated the history of the question and outlined forcefully what his team would attempt to prove. Then he set out to show that fear of capital punishment keeps the prospective murderer in check. He cited the case of England. His knowledge of psychology enabled him to handle skillfully the problem of fear. Alford sat down amid vociferous applause. The next speaker was Jackson of Alverna—a senior in the school of theology. His argument was sound—metaphisically —but his speech was poorly delivered. He failed to take a crack at the arguments of the previous speaker. And he also exhibited that grave manner of the typical person exhorting a gang of half wits to "Come to God". So far Howard had won. The next two speakers did not alter the situation. Dr. Epworth and Allan Ford were perspiring freely! To think that all their coaching had come to this. What would Rutehrford do? They knew he was physically weak. They knew that. Would he fail as the others had done? Would the unbeaten three return to their alma mater and confirm the report current that Alverna men were no match for the Howard machine? And Morelly, old fool, had quoted Clarence Darrow, although he had been cautioned not to do so. Didn't he know one of the judges was a local lawyer, while another was a Methodist preacher of the same benre? The last speaker of the affirmative was now holding fort, striving frantically to prove that capital punishment is society's protection against deliberate murder. He knew his cats, to be sure. But somehow he seemed to have too much fire and flourish. Too confident almost to the point of carelessness. He hated a fang of swine. less questions. Several times his voice got away from him. When he sat down everyone felt that the affirmative case had been decidedly weakened, though evidently the speaker himself thought he had got away big until he heard the feeble applause. Gazing serenely out into space, Ole Yailer sat still, his elbows resting on his table, his head in his hands. He seemed far removed from the scene. He smiled mischievously and then fell back into his reverie. Mr. Sackford was now saying, "I now take great pleasure in introducing to you the next and last speaker for the negative, Mr. Samuel Ukase Rutherford of Oilville, Texas." Ole Yaller got up like one fixing to yawn. Again his chair fell back. This time he tumbled over it. The audience shook with laughter, as if it were witnessing a gripping comedy-drama. Rutherford picked himself up slowly. He shook his unkempt dark hair out of his steady face. He looked at his nails. No they were not soiled. As he walked seriously towards the front and center of the stage, he drew out of his hip pocket a large white linen handkerchief folded. When he reached his position, the audience still snickering, he calmly unfolded his handkerchief and wiped his hands with it. He mopped his forehead. Every movement of his was carried on with the utmost ease and naturalness. There was something in the way he handled his long artistic hands that gave an artistic finish to his manipulation of a mere handkerchief. The audience quieted down. With a deep resonant voice, running along in the well modulated tones of a good natured Southerner, Yaller began his speech. "I'm not going to devote precious time to answering the questionaires of the opposition. (Laughter, for the questionaires of the late war were then fresh in the minds of his hearers). If the noble gentlemen from Howard want their questions answered, let them do it themselves—if they can. We aren't interested, thanks. "'Resolved that capital punishment is necessary.' What does this mean? There is still a lot of barbarity in man as evidenced by his laws. The study of man's laws is largely a study in human swinishness. Looked at from the developmental viewpoint, however, criminal procedure ever tends to become more humane. Let us look at some of the laws of the past, and regard as we go along the attendant methods of punishment, and see if this statement b etrue." Here Yaller briefly reviewed the history of the methods of punishment, and showed how laws tend to grow more and more humane in application as time proceeds. Then, "Clamoring for capital punishment is a reactionary pastime—a silly effort of a few individuals to force the State into committing murder which individuals themselves consider too dirty for their clean hands. Personally I believe Thou shalt not kill. And this applies to the State as well as to the individual. . . The previous speaker didn't show that the low murder-rate in England is due to the simple fact that Great Britain has capital punishment for first degree murder . . . though he did suggest that Englishmen are more civilized than Americans . . . and perhaps therefore less murderous. I will not The Interstate Tattler's $500.00 "Queen of the Classic" POPULARITY CONTEST contest the latter point. . . . Would the gentlemen from Howard advocate a process of civilizing these States by legalizing the killing of the inhabitants. Great shades of Georgia!" Verily, verily, I say unto you, He who believes in capital punishment ought to commit suicide and prove it. (Laughter). Sam Ukase carried on this sort of thing until the chairman rapped the bell thus indicating only two more minutes to go. "When I tumbled over my chair just now, why did you laugh? You were amused of course. That's why. You got a kick out of seeing me at a disadvantage—as you thought. . . This, my friends, is the psychology of those who whoop for capital punishment. They thrill over the idea that another individual shall be sacraficed in the electric chair or on the gallows . . . Is there anything noble about this?" The bell rang again. One minute to go. "No folks, I don't favor murder not even when the State commits it." And he sat down calmly. The Alverna team had a decided advantage in rebuttal. They didn't take themselves so seriously as did the Howard fellows. At times the audience rollicked, while the Howard team flinched. Finally the fray ended. Everyone sat waiting breathlessly for the decision o fthe judges. There was silence. Then there was a restless moving about of feet. The choir came on the stage and sang "Lis'en to de Lam's." Everybody paid attention. Yaller listened attentively, while a soft slim gal—the color of coffee in a golden cup—came to the front of the group and sang the solo: "He shall feed his flocks like a sheepherd, An' shall carry de young lam's In his bosom ... in his bosom ... " Her voice calmed every anticipating soul. Those who heard her forgot that they were sitting in an earthly hall and listening to a prosiac debate. They all were carried out of themselves and felt the comfort which comes—poetically speaking—to those who rest calmly in the bosom of Jesus. No one felt the necessity of capital punishment now. In fact nobody even thought of capital punishment. One of the judges was literally crying. Allan Ford gazed at the ceiling and understood fully that this music would help them win for Alverna. Dr. Epworth nervously wiped his nose. . . As the singer turned to go back to her place in the choir, she saw Ole Yaller looking straight through her. His eyes cut her a little, but she was glad he noticed her. She felt his gaze wandering appreciatively—as she thought—down towards her comely legs, as she strutted back to her place, her body single with a vague and indefinable something she had never known before. Rutherford fumbled his cards. His hand shook when he attempted to gather his papers. His face twiced. His knees smote one against the other. Up the aisles ushers brought the final verdict written on three separate pieces of white paper. More silence. Sackford looked over the decisions. The ushers took their seats. . . . Sackford got up. . . He smiled glowingly. . . . He bowed. "It has been a pleasure, etc." for five minutes. Then, "The decision of the judges is . . . interesting. Pause. . . "Very interesting" . . . Another pause. "In fact, absorbing." Silence. "Two to one . . . In favor of the negative." Alverna had won. A stampede in the audience. A mob rushed to the platform . . . When the two teams were enroute to Rockerfellow Hall to attend the banquet, some one mentioned the trouble Yaller had with his seat. . . "Yaller, tell me, asked Ford, "did you tip over the chair on purpose?" "Yeah," he drawled. "Did you notice the ragged brassiere that quoir soloist had on? That thing go on my nerves, boy. Hate to see a good lookin' gal with ragged underwear on. Spoils 'em. . .
