If the Negro actor can make a place for comedy and dramatic fields as he has found a night club. It is reasonable to assume that a long or the night club remains popular it will require a corps of colored performers for the sake of variety. After the night club is on the wine and some people think it has not only passed the peak of its popularity but is on the verge of extinction. They may be wrong. Perhaps the falling off in the number of night clubs is not a decline but a deflation. Shortly after the war night clubs enjoyed a period of phenomenal prosperity. This condition probably drew too many investors into the field. When any one of bushies becomes overworked it causes compulsion and a high percentage of bushies like the uneducable results. It may be that and apprehension of the night club is only a plague of common illusion. From now on there will be fewer clubs in the field but the --- --- Broadway.

But will their novelty last? these permanent forms of theatres production are those which pre- fect kind of stage story. Either form of musical comedy or the colored actor will be represented. Instead of linking himself with those of the more forms of theatrical art the Negro was called himself with the two permanent forms. If as many of theatre were employed in the production as there are in the night and revues, there would be very hard about the future of the work actor on Broadway. and made the outlook of the race in this department of the theater so bright as one could wish it to all stranger cheerless. Since Silly mistook the man with his sensational character each season has seen a small but increasingly number of races completed in the drama. The prodigy made so far is at least entertaining.

These papers under- laying down of programs for the MORE and more, as time goes on, the colored race shall have to rely upon the leadership of the Negro press, for its support and guidance. Like all of the other races, the leadership of the race must finally rest with the journalistic intellect. The white race was at one time lead by the Priesthood, then by the kings, then by the parliamentarians, then by the politicians and statesmen, then by the financier. Today that race is led by propaganda—the information and facts which are found within the pages of the white press. Take the Jewish race. In the United States, there are 5 large newspapers whose entire circulation is made up of Jewish readers. The 5 newspapers (printed in the Jewish language), have a combined daily circulation of over one million readers. These papers undertake as their purpose and duty, the laying down of programs for the advancement of the Jewish people. In addition to the five foreign-language Jewish newspapers, there are seven large metropolitan papers (English-language) which are owned and controlled by leaders of the Jewish race. Take New York City, for instance. The New York Times, is owned by Mr. Aloph Ochs, one of the Governors of the Monist organization in the United States. And although Mr. Ochs is a Jew, he is able through the power of the great Times, to mould Christian opinion, favorable to the advancement of the Jew. The Times is considered the most powerful single paper in the entire world today. No banker, lawyer, scientist, preacher, doctor, or public official, will permit himself to have finished his breakfast without first having read the Times. The Jewish professional man, as well as the Jewish laborer (if he reads the English language) buys the Times, because he realizes that, his future advancement in the United States, depends upon the continued existence of the Times. The New York World is owned and operated by a Jew- it was founded by Kalph Pulitzer, and Albert Pulitzer (although an Americanized Jew), keeps constantly before the American people the greatness and the achievements of the Jewish race. Any attack which is made upon the Jewish race, is at once beaten down, by the combined editorial influence of the newspapers which are owned by the leaders of the Jewish race. The Italians are said by many to be ignorant. But four daily newspapers, published in the tongue of the Italian people, achieved in less than 15 years, a combined circulation of more than 800,000 readers. In 1914, the Italian-American newspapers, were on the way to certain ruin because of the European War, and the mental condition of the Italian immigrants—Immigration had ceased. A company of 20 Italian gentlemen, lead by Mancusco, Silvani, Kocco, La Guardia (at present a United States Congressman) and Felncci, organized a million-dollar fund and saved the papers. The most ordinary Jew, or Italian, may be seen on the cars and other transit trains, with the various papers which are published in his interest, reading to his heart's content. But not so with the Negro. In the case of the colored American, he thinks that the colored press is a joke. He will tell one that he does not read the colored newspaper; he will scotch at the efforts of the publishers, and he will go about hoisting that he has not read a colored newspaper in so many years. This is stupid, this is disgraceful. If every colored man and woman read a colored newspaper (by buying one), 52 times each year, the combined circulation of the colored press, in New York would be 16,000,000 each year. If one-third of the population bought a paper, the an- --- A letter to Geraldyn Dismond, Alvin Moses, or Theophilus Lewis on any subject affecting our group will be treated editorially. 6661.

Large newspapers whose entire circulation. The 5 newspapers (printed in the daily circulation of over one mile as their purpose and duty, the advancement of the Jewish people. nual circulation would be over five millions. The influence of a press with more than five millions of readers, per annum, upon the white men of the United States would be so great that the Negro would be sitting on the Supreme Court of the United States as a Judge. (Louis Brandles is a Jew and a Justice of that Court). The money which would come from a five million circulation yearly, could employ, more than a thousand young men and young women, in occupations which would be both lucrative and informative. At present, the Harlem press is made up of about five standard papers, and two tabloids. The New York Amsterdam News (it claims to have a greater circulation than any other), employs about 30 persons, for its composition. And yet its total paid circulation has but once exceeded thirty thousand. The New York News employs about seven persons in its "make up". According to the best estimates of its publishers, it has not passed the twenty thousand mark in circulation. The New York Age, the oldest newspaper in New York City, among colored people, still wavers in circulation between the "tens" and the "teens". The Inter-State Tattler employs about eleven persons, who are engaged in making up the paper, and its publishers do not at any time claim a circulation in excess of the other Harlem papers. But the Tattler has grown in circulation, at a more rapid pace than has any other of the Harlem weekly periodicals. It is remarkable that the colored press has been unable to control the great money market, which is constituted by the spending power of the thousands of residents of the Harlem Community. The white store owners refuse to advertise in the colored press, for the reason that they are made to realize that the colored buyer of their merchandise has no respect for the colored press. As a result, five million dollars per annum, in advertisements, fail to reach the columns of the colored press, simply because the colored people for whom and in whose interest the colored press operates fail to recognize the duty which rests upon them, to support the colored press. The fight which the colored press has undertaken, and waged for the entire life of its history, appears not to have penetrated the heads of the colored citizen. He does not realize the value of the colored press, until there is some riot, in which he is beaten by the police, or some other outrage against his person. Then he comes to the office of the press; he tells his story, and if the truth were known, he had never actually purchased a single copy of any colored newspaper. In politics, it is hard for the publisher of the colored --- (Continued on Page 6) THE INTER-STATE TATTLER GLADYS CLARK, popular beauty culturist of Pittsburgh who was the recent house guest of her Uncle, Hunter Johnson.

What beau- tiful girls! What a splendid show! What a brilliant gathering! The Apex Beauty College put over the most thrill- ing beauty parade in the history of my odd years. The weather man gave them no break at all, but did that stop the crowd? It did not! I called myself getting there early (eleven o’clock) to look after my contestants and the taxi line was so long that I had to get out in the middle of the street and do a running broad jump to the door. By twelve—gollie—a jam! ene The first feature of the evening was a show by Grace Giles’ Kiddies. Hon- est-to-goodness, they are the cleverest things! The Giles Tiller Girls and toe dancers did the proper chorus work, and Gloria Wilson, a petite soubrette, Paul White, a miniature Snake Hips, Hazel Winfrey, an acrobat, knee-high to a duck, and Marion Jones, former pupil of Miss Giles, and now of the Blackbird Company assisted by Joseph Johnson, stopped the show. The clever Elnorist Young was at the piano. * ee As soon as the children finished, a line of chairs were placed across the center of the floor and the illustrious judges filed down. Among the Mine up were Fred Morgan, cartoonist, for the New York Evening Graphic, Wil- liam Bojangles Robinson, the Zicten- fleld Twins, who swam from Albany to ‘New York, Billy Pierce, Augusta Sav- age, O.

Altmann. ee Then the beauties who were to com- pete for the $200.00 in gold began the parade. Each girl represented some Apex Shop and was introduced to the judges and audience by Garland Pal- mer, and escorted around the promen- ade by one-of the ushers. They had come from far and near, Verna Wynn Cross, Clarice Sterling, Gertrude Wil- liams, and Vivian Anderson were among the Philadelphia representatives; Fan- nie Breeland, Dorothy Alfred and Gloria Corbett were out for Atlantic City; Mabel McIntosh carried Fran- kie’s and Jennie’s colors; Gertrude Bernard had Sylvia Whiting, Violct Campbell, and Doris Mignotte; the Elite Shoppe sent Marian Parrahan; the Im- perlal Shoppe of Brooklyn used Mil- dred Alexander, Desaderal Newton, and Gladys Jackson; the Marcia Lansing Shoppe was represented by Ruth Smothers and Bobbie Branche; Nancy Vinnie walked for the Unique Shoppe; Mme. Wright had Natalya Thomas and Edna Barros; Helen Wilson sent Mar- saret Howard; Bertha Lambert and Iilanche Dunn came for the Apex Col- iege, Lillian Green represented Melvin Woods. All in all there were over fifty and with one or two exceptions, all were unusually attractive types. ee It was hard going for the judges, wut finally about ten were selected, among them such outstanding beauties as Alma Smith, Billie Cain, Bessie Al- ison, Lheresa Gentry, Florrie Miller, Vivieune Bain, and Margaret Howard. she crowd could hardly contain itself. At last five girls were escorted to the stage, Mime, Sara Spencer Washington herself, elegant in green taffeta and a gold sequinn jacket, greeted the con- iestants, and William Bojangles Robin- son presented the winners. Seventy-five dollars in gold went to Bessie Allison, representing the 215 West 145th Street Apex Shoppe for first prize. Vivienne ain, who entered for the 132nd Street und Seventh Avenue Apex Shoppe was awarded second prize of $50 in gold. ashe third prize of $30 in gold was given to Florrie Miller of the Marian’s Beauty Shoppe of New Kochelle; Mar- garet Howard from Helen’s Beauty Shoppe won the third prize of $20 in gold. And Theresa Gentry representing the 130th Street and Seventh Avenue Shoppe was presented with the third prize of $20 in gold. It was all over but the shouting. What a glorious success! What beautiful girls! se @ The big hand goes to Archie Mor- gan, who managed the entire affair and his best boy friends who so ably as- sisted him as ushers. eee Things are whooping up for Ethel Baird's benefit at Smalis on December urd.

Ole was not given the credit due her in the excellent Beauty Pageant held by the New York Benevolent Club No. 3 of the Mme. C. J. Walker Co., last week. Mme. Ole displayed living models (toilet preparations) in perlod hairdresses and costumes, used her own Mme. C. J. Walker's conception of beauty in "Spirit Beauty of 1912", or our "Queen at Court", reviewing the past and present head dresses, contributed by the beauty culturists of the Walker family. Children were used to represent characters such as Talcom Powder. A Dancing Girl conducted the models to court and "Miss 1958" was led into the Queen's presence by a butterfly. Mme. Ole also suggested the design for the cover of the souvenir program—a beautiful head, a combination of African and Egyptian influences. The fascinating Clarence Tisdale sent us a stunning page from the London Tattler which had been devoted to Josephine Baker and a swank program from the Empress Rooms of the Royal Palace Hotel, Kensington, where the Four Harmony Kings, "America's Foremost Colored Quartette" are holding forth.

He had visited Europe several times, represented City College in the World Youth Movement, spoken before many of the college seminars in various sections of the United States, was a staunch champion of Negro Youth at the Fact Finding Conference at Durham last year and was a representative of our race at the International House. The memorial service were held under the auspices of the Intercollegiate Association, Fellowship of Reconciliation, Kappa Psi Fraternity, League of Youth, and the International House. After much ballyhooing, Harlem, the Forum of Negro life, has arrived. What a magazine. It is all the publishers claimed for it and then some.

And what is most disgusting about the indifference of the colored population to the colored press is, the fact that, the so-called educated Negro, openly boasts that he does not read the colored paper. The time is coming when, the appreciation of the colored press will be forced upon the Negro. The country is more and more seeking its leadership from the ranks of the colored journalist and the publisher; the press, white and black, foreign-language and English, is bidding for the right to decide the new leadership of the country. The fight which is ahead of the colored race shall depend largely for its conduct upon the colored press. The colored race may win or loose this fight, depending upon what attitude the members of this race will take in regard to the colored press, and its support of that, leadership from the columns of the colored press. In our own day and time, Marcus Gravey was able to build a vast organization, and defy (for a time) his enemies, because he had a newspaper which was widely circulated among his followers. The fear which he created in the hearts of white men, and the loyalty which he nurtured in the minds of his followers grew out of the influence of his newspaper. The millions of the colored Americans constitute nothing more nor less than a vast organization; in order that the organization should protect us, we should support the colored press.

Ida Anderson, and Company, present ta dramatic offering entitled "Women to Women". Another outstanding feature of the program is Ed Wilson and Co., presenting a unique offering entitled "Burning a Woman Alive." This act is not Good as the word goes; it is Great and is well worth the price of admission. 31 Fascinating JENNIE HASTON who once represented the Inter-State Tattler in England, recently took part in a costume ball in London, England and the judges awarded her one of the big prizes. THE LAFAYETTE Theatre has two outstanding features this week. The photo play offering, "The King of Kings" is an exceptional treat and one that all lovers of the silent drama can fully appreciate. Jessie Shipp's entertaining musical comedy vehicle, "Sundown" is the second feature. There are many amusing situations, pretty scenes, spirited musical numbers and good dancing dispersed throughout the hour and a half the Shippe players hold the footlights. Of particular interest is the "Street Carnival Scene" one of the best of the many pleasing situations. But on the whole, the production is well balanced and the first nighters seemed well pleased with the vehicle. The cast includes the following popular favorites: Garland Howard, Andrew Copeland, Cecile Rivers, Flo Brown, Al Young, Sonny Lee, Mae Brown, Ada Banks, Leo Boatner, Ada Banks, Charles Moore, Agnes Allen, Coley Grant and the dancing team of Kutout and Leonard.

Although Mr. Manning has announced his retirement from the stage, he's ready to do a "Pattl" and change his mind. Sam finds the lure of the "footlights" irresistable and once again he's going to plaster the cork upon his classic features, don his English togs and proceed to make 'em laugh with his natural West Indian dialect. Blackbirds Open At Boston House Boston, Mass., Friday, Nov. 16th. The second edition or road show of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" which had been scheduled for Monday night opened on Thursday. Gertrude Saunders, billed as the star, was missing from the cast. The company was as follows: Harriett Calloway, Jassie Zackery, Mary Clemens, Myrtle Watkins, Hamtree Harrington, Beebee Joyner, Emmett Anthony, Clarence Foster, Barrington Guy, John Worthy, Edward Thompson, Aarons Palmer, Willie Green, Sherman Robinson, S. H. Dudley, Jr., and others. There was Cecil Mack's "Blackbird" chorus. The Plantation orchestra was conducted by Allie Ross. Incorporated in the show were the sketches: "We Must Have It"; "Playing According to Hoyle"; "A Happy Business Man"; "Picking a Plot" and "Magnolia's Weddi ngDay." The vehicle is well balanced, and while in spots there was a certain rawness, this will gradually be overcome. Harriet Calloway, the little eccentric bronze dancer, pleased with her inimitable songs and received the plaudits of the audience. The finale of the first act found the audience in rapturous applause at the choral singing in the travesty of "Porgy." "Creola" styled the original 4-11-44 story is the feature offering at the Standard Theatre of Philadelphia this week. The Pearl Theatre of the same city is featuring a dramatic sketch "The Drunkard" with Ashes and Bilo, Sandy Burns and Sam Russell respectively, providing the fun in the musical comedy end of the program. Another Quaker City playhouse, the Bijou, has the "Forty Black Dots". --- Milton Starr has built up quite a circuit in the southland. Just recently he acquired two more houses, namely the Alhambra Theatre of Augusta, Ga., and the Lincoln of Greenville, S. C. The following theatres are now operating under the Starr management, in addition to the two just mentioned. They are the Bijou and Lincoln Theatres, Nashville, Tenn.; Lincoln Theatre, Charles, S. C.; Lincoln Theatre, Winston-Salem, N. C.; Lenox Theatre, Augusta, Ga.; Rolay Theatre, Columbia, S. C.; Lincoln Theatre, New Bern, N. C.; New Gem Theatre, Reidsville, N.

Six aspirin tablets, four doses of Bromo Seltzer and a bottle of Pluto Water failed to give me any relief. Instead of getting better the pain continued to get worse until it seemed that I could not stand it any longer. Suicide seemed to be the only way to relieve my agony. I was just about to take a handkerchief and blow my brains out when the pain suddenly ceased and I discovered what the trouble was. It was just an idea trying to force its way through my skull. It is quite a fetching idea, I think, and I'm going to pass it on to the powers of the Florence Mills Memorial Fund Association. Maybe they will be able to use it. The Florence Mills Memorial Association was organized to build a lasting monument to the memory of the great actress whose name it bears. The members of the Association have spent a great deal of emotion on the project and collected several hats full of money. I believe they intend to spend the money on a refuge for indigent, aged and stage-worn actresses, said refuge to be known as the Florence Mills Friendly Shelter or something like that. Now the idea I want to donate to the Association is this: Instead of spending its time and money on a refuge for failures why not found a school of theatre arts? Florence Mills was in no sense a failure. Then why should a shelter for failures be erected in her memory? It is grotesquely out of keeping with the glorious success of her life to make her memorial a refuge for worn out and forsaken women. Instead her memorial should be a shrine of ambition and hope and the gateway to success. The sort of school I have in mind could offer instruction in all the arts of the theatre. It could offer instruction free or at a nominal price to children of the profession and charge a slightly higher fee for teaching lay students. Its charter or constitution ought to make it mandatory that no less than 30 per cent of all money disbursed should be spent on the department of dramatic acting. Instead of being a haven for the hopeless such a school would be a nursery of talent and a center of culture. If a few able men not connected with the theatre could be induced to serve on the board of trustees, say men like Alderman Moore and Rev. Imes, I believe the non-professional public would contribute handsomely to its financial support. Indeed the Association could even bank on me for fifty cents a century. Furthermore when I die I will bequeath the library of the school a copy of Sacha Guitry's "Deburau", as produced by David Belasco, a copy of David Belasco's version of "The Merchant of Venice" together with a book of handsome photographs of all the principle scenes of the play, and the two-volume biography of David Belasco by William Winters—all of said books handsomely bound and autographed by David Belasco. They will make a noble appearance on the book shelf even if they are never opened.

PRICES BES 11:00 to 13:00 MON 11:00 to 12:30 NO TAX Friday, November 16, 1928 Oh boy, this must be "Letter Writing Week". Received some twenty odd communications, two of which were from Europe. Greenlee and Drayton sent me news of their triumph which clippings from English publications to substantiate their claim of success. Here's what the Variety World of London, England, has to say of the act, to wit: "Chez Taglioni presents R. Eddie Greenlee and Thaddeus Drayton, the "Colored Aristocvrats", assisted by Hilda Rogers and Hazel Sheppard. This announcement introduces a very lively quartet of dancers and singers from Down South. Seldom have we seen feet move so swiftly or white teeth sparkle in such wide grins. Greenlee and Drayton are a very versatile pair, with a knowledge of many languages which they reveal during a slow, hypnotic dance. Their companions are a lively pair of girls, one of whom sings 'Stay Out of the South' with a fervor which makes the most obdurate cockney realize that there are other good places on the earth besides London." Mable Whitman of the famous Whitman Sisters, sends us an article clipped from the Pittsburg Courier, by Rollo Wilson; giving the Whitman Sisters the credit and honors due them in the fullest measure. But the article is too lengthy for us to publish. We have said as many nice things about them as has Mr. Wilson and feel that Mae and her little gang deserve all the nice compliments newspaper men can give them. --- Little Miss Aurora Greely writes again to tell us of her success, teamed with Le Roy Bloomfield, she's raising cain out there in the Golden West and how. --- And the same foreign mail that came from Greenlee and Drayton, brought news of Johnny Nit, styled over there as "One of the world's greatest buck and wing. tap dancers of the original Black Birds". Johnny was at the Palace Theatre, London, England, the week of October 22nd. And the Encore of London has this to say of Noble Sissle: "Noble Sissle, held over from last week, created something of a sensation by introducing a highly-dramatic song-study into his routine of popular numbers. "My Dream of the Big Parade" is something of a sermon in song, and Sissle's handling of it will make audience sit up and take notice for a long time to come." * * * Incidently our Mr. Theophilus Lewis received a letter from some skunk attacking me (Bennie Butler) in the usual underhanded methods. This offensive brute whom I believe is launching this attack under an assumed name, much AMERICA'S UNRIVALLED REVUE HIT! as he apparently dislikes me, has not the courage to fight in the open as only men do. Twice before this cur penned me letters. That was about two years ago. Well, it seems that he's come to life again, after being dead for quite a while. But the public knows me and I know that it's not necessary for 'yours truly' to make apology or explanation of conduct. I have my friends and they are many so this envious cur does not worry me in the least. THE MASTER RUTH JOHNSON may not be the prettiest girl in the world, but you'll have a hard time making some folks believe she's not the sweetest. Ruthie is the chorus director of Lew Leslie's "Black Birds". What she don't know about the art is a question. "Blondie" La Marr writes that she has severed relations with her former dancing partner and intends to confine her efforts to night club work. And, as an after thought, she closes with, "I'm heading for New York Very Soon." George Crawford, Irvin C. Miller's star comedian of "The Brown Skin Models" is resting this week in New York. He rejoins the Miller vehicle Sunday. * * * "Georgia Peaches" is the name of the musical comedy vehicle playing the Lincoln Theatre, Kansas City, Mo., this week. The cast: Hezekiah Jenkins, John Jordon and a promising young record artist, Bertha Idaho. The winsome Miss Paige is claimed by two cities in the Tattler's "Queen of the Classic" popularity contest and she is upholding the prestige of both exceedingly well. These two cities, namely Baltimore, Maryland, and Morristown, N. J. are fighting tooth and nail to keep their doughty little "lady" well up among the leaders. Miss Jaige is a Baltimore girl but has lived also in Morristown and is exceedingly popular in both cities. She has been making New York her home during the past three months but still loves the old "Homesteads" and she is highly pleased with the way the "Home Folks" are supporting her in this contest. She formerly was a chorus girl with "Seven-Eleven" and Drake and Walker's "Bombay Girls", and the latter company has promised to aid her also. THE WEEKLY PRESS HAZEL SHEPPARD ANDERSON is creating quite a sensation in the big English Metropolis, London, where she is playing with Hilda Rogers in the Greenley-Drayton act. English theatrical critics rate the act very high. The Walker Theatre of Indianapolis, Indiana, has George Barton's "Steamboat Bill' with a cast of nationally known favorites playing there this week. The cast includes among others; Billy Ewing, Sam Robinson, Hattie Noel, J. C. Davis, Tommy Wood and the "Get Happy Four." "Syncopation Sue" is the musical comedy attraction playing the Booker T. Washington Theatre, St. Louis, Mo., this week. The cast lists the following entertainers: Ralph Franco, Alberta Puggley, Edna Taylor, James Robinson, Mae Bell, Genevive Beckett and James Robinson. Miller and Lyles with their "Shuffle Along" vehicle opened a two weeks' engagement at the Erlanger Theatre of Chicago, Illinois last Sunday. They break camp Sunday night, November 24th. * * * Cliff Ross, Hazel Meyers, Tim Owsley. Annual Cabaret Dance.

THE PHI PHI JONES, popular Harlemite, who stands high among the leaders and expects to finish one, two three in the Queen of the Classic" contest. Mistaken identity is a strange and, sometimes embarrassing thing. A case in point is the mention that was made last week in these columns of AGNES MEYERS of Brooklyn. Certain aspersions were cast upon the name of Miss Meyers by a reader who signed her name—Gladys Peters. Upon investigation it was found that another AGNES MYERS, get that MY' and not MEY—was unbraided by her friends for what they thought was unwarranted conduct on her part. She called to the office of The Tattler and had the mistake corrected. The Meyers referred to in the article is a resident of Atlantic City and a frequent visitor to certain dives and dens in Brooklyn. The genuine Agnes Myers of Brooklyn was in no way connected with the article published in these columns last week.—Ed. THE NEW YORKER PHI PHI JONES, one of the sweet "Queen of the Classic" contestants has inspired some of the members of "The Rens" to vote her back into the leadership. If these boys really get behind her it will be just too bad for somebody. LILLIAN PAGE, another popular entrant in the "Queen of the Classic" contest; although a late comer she is making up for lost time by putting forth extra effort. Q Q Edythe Simmons and Joe Brown of a certain big time Broadway production—folks who want to make love don't usually give away to their passionate emotions "backstage".

We love your voice and forget Cleveland. They can't appreciate a songbird like you out there. * * * Martha Hypps of Philly—Why do you allow your sister to pal around with so many Ofays, who resemble underworld characters. "They" say she is eating her heart out for the love of her Old Sweetheart back in Quaker Town. Jimmie Mordecai, folks are asking to know, why is it you don't pay more attention to that lovely little wife of 4th ANNUAL ert&Dance TH BAND yours?

Percy Verwayne—who is the big blonde we saw you go into the Club Harlem's Sunday matinee with? She had rings on her fingers and bells on her ankles, that jingled out a tune which seemed to say: "You are my man, Daddy and I don't mean maybe." * * * Since "Hippo" Salters of Princeton returned to the school marm in New Haven things have been sitting pretty. But, does "Hippo" know that Charley Gordon spent the week-end in New Haven all summer long? And does "Hippo" know that Charley and Mable are very, very good friends?

Alvin Violenus—your engagement to the Savoy Queen remains unannounced for the simple reason that you are prone to flit from "flower to flower".

Don't you be no fool, Trina Smith may look easy but she knows her bible when it comes to men. Better take care and beware. *** Wonder why Billy Fields wanted more eyes? And it's hard to tell why Thelma wanted to move around so much. Geo. Jones, you have to be careful when two janes are near. * * * Margaret Beckett, of Philly, who was the long, tall and handsome shelk, you were pleading with in Broad Street station? William Jones of 1501 Edgly Street, Philadelphia wants to know. * * * "Somebody's Stenog" thinks she has a kick coming about the way folks are treated at Loew's Victoria on 125th Street. She says: Dear Ed.—why is it that our people make such fools out of themselves by paying good hard earned dollars to be segregated in the second balcony? The Drake and Walker Theatre is right next door and it offers a far better show for the money, with ALL seats in the house open to ANYONE. Now Mr. Ed. please tell me why they continue to go to Loew's? I am a stenographer and a Constant Reader of The Tattler. ANSWER: We cannot understand it either.

What are you going to do about it? --- True Story The Seventh Avenue Playboys and Girls argued it over among themselves and decided she WAS sincere. But his buddies made him think differently. Their love was the mad love of youth, and it grew more torrid with each passing day, until onlookers, could no longer hide their envy. Her beauty, charm and grace floored them all, particularly the boy. Anyone could have told you that he was just wild about her too and the surething guys along the Avenoo would lay wagers on the day they were to wed. They agreed that so and so was Absolutely on the Square and Dead on the Level with Her. He went away to college and she remained in the chorus. As they parted he made her vow that she would be constant and true, on the "up-and-up" and all that sort of thing. The next day "they" told her of his numerous amours. She staggered under the burden of their weight and walked slowly, falteringly down the side street—away from the Bright Lights—away from the Maddening Throng withal, just as sober as an Anti-Saloon Head pretends to be. But the so-called wise-helmers, who were familiar with the "insides" and the "low downs" mocked her, nodded their heads and checked it up to her manner of things.

He played his first game last week against the toughest man in the outfit, Wiggins of Chicago, who won the title last year and who is holder of the high run record. The 'Grand Old Man' refused to fade, as they term it, and proceeded to beat Wiggie who is no older than his own son, by a count of 100-72. Of course these exhibitions are staged on a rather ancient 4x9 table, and not quite up to the standard of 5x10 found in Ernest Hutchinson's palatial academy. On a regulation table, Mr. Talbot and Wiggins are just as capable performers, and would trouble the best in the public rooms with the exception of the champ, 'Shakey', Charleston, 'Red', Boston, Derbie, Roy Holland ,and one or two more or less pretentiously titled.

This tittle 112 pounder who hits like the traditional hammar of Thor, is the most feared boy in the simon pure ranks today. Whenever Ben Levine is short on talent, if a boy should happen to take a 'runout' powder at the eleventh hour, a phone call brings hard hitting Jerry to the scene of action. Quite naturally we take pardonable pride in every victory that Stephens achieves, for it was under our watchful care that he has developed so rapidly. The rough spots are still there, but each day brings forth a smoother surface. Six months hence he'll be hitting short and straight, not winging with a tendency to swing from the shoulders as he is guilty of now.

"A WORLDS CHAMPION'S INVITATION" E. C. HUTCHINSON BILLIARD ACADEMY located at 392 LENOX AVENUE, Corner of 130th Street, New York City For years Mr. Evans has been the outstanding exponent o our group in the intricate art of pocket billiards, and his winning personality and gentlemanly manners have endeared him to the country's best known recreation room owners in the capacity of exhibitionist and match player. His many friends and well wishers are invited to patronize him as of yore— 20 of the finest Brunswicke-Balke Tables in a Room unexcelled for equipment and appointment.

A year ago Bruce Flowers looked and fought like a coming champion. Directly after the Kid Kaplan shindy, something seemed to happen to Flowers. He lacked the pep and dash that characterized his former ring efforts, until at this writing he is about to do a fadeout. Your correspondent knows just what the trouble is all about, and most of his colleagues do also. It has to do with Bruce's secular life, and he ought to be man enough to snap out of it. Renaissance Big Five Turn Tables On Whirlwinds In one of the fastest and best played basketball games of the current season, the fast travelling "Rens" defeated the Xavier Whirlwinds of Brooklyn in a contest that had the fans on edge throughout the forty minutes of play. Bob Douglas's speed merchants were without the expert services of Harold Mayers who has a stitch in his hand, the result of a hurt finger in the game against Union City Reds two weeks ago. The Xavier's came on the court with the confidence that characterizes all teams, who happen to beat the Renaissance quintet away from home. In the opening half the play of the two teams wsa the fastest and closest this correspondent has seen all season. Both Renaissance and Xavier passed the ball as possessed. The Renaissance started one of their strongest combinations, Slocum, Sanders, Jenkins, Fiall and Pappy Ricks. Ricks and Jenkins have played wonderful ball this season, and last Sunday night was no exception. Brown, Weir, and Moran, did most of the offensive work for the Whirlwinds, but try as they might catching up with the "Rens" was too large an assignment. In the second half Brown caged two baskets from the floor in quick succession, and Slocum thrilled the crowd with a heave three-quarters the length of the court. On the next play, Jenkins took the ball on the rebound off the Xavier basket and dribbled down, the court for a score. Moran heaved in a long try that ended the scoring for Xavier. Jenkins was the high scorer of the night, while Brown rang the bell for most of his team's points. In a fast and hard played preliminary game, the Metro Diamond Black Bill at Olympia A. C.

Irving Miller at Gibson The most welcomed news for theatrical fans of this locality is the fact that the most noted and prominent race producer of all times, Irving C. Miller, is now Producing Manager for the popular Gibson Theatre, Broad and Lombard Sts. Mr. Miller began his duties last week when he presented his pet organization Brown Skin Models followed this with his Broadway feature Liza and backing these up with his rejuvenation of another one of his famous successes this week in "Gay Harlem" all of which demonstrates the intentions on part of Messrs. Gibson and Miller to present only pleasing and up to the minute attractions on the stage together with the already well balanced Musical embellishments by "Doc" Heyder's Southerners and picture program of unusually high merrit. As a further evidence of Mr. Miller's determination to bring this playhouse up to its standard of perfection in all departments he will surrond himself with a "contact" cabinet of local people. The first one of this organization to be selected has been Chas. S. Johnson who will take care of publicity exploitations and general contact with patrons. --- Irving Miller Finds Another Irving C. Miller in reviving his Broadway Success "Liza" last week at the Gibson showed his expert ability at developing when he presented vivacious and comely Yip Green in the role Liza. The little lady did credit both to herself and her producer in the excellent way in which she handled the part. John Henderson as "Dandy" as usual took care of his entrusted part with care and precision. Eva Metcalf as Liza's sister, "Porto Rico" as Uncle Plummer, Steve Miller as Liza's father and Blackburn and Crawford in Comic roles with Lillian Carroll and Billy Young doing specialties outdid themselves in taking care of the principal work. Another feature of Liza was the fact that the same Chorines --- who a week before established themselves as being the prettiest seen here for some time demonstrated that they could really dance as well as look pretty. Among these beauty workers we find Ruby Williams, Nellie Tanner, Lottle Hurly, Vernon Cole, Lealor Easterly, Gwendolyn Newton, Gay Razaf, Clover Howard, Teddle and May Johnson. Other outstanding features were the rendition of "Odd Man" by Sherrod and the stage presentation by "Doc" Heyder and his Southerners. Their arrangement and presentation of "Sonny Boy" with Barnes doing the solo was all that could be asked. A little more of the band in this capacity would be appreciated.

THAT education, and its transcendental elements may be fittingly appraised and properly allocated, Rev. Dr. William Lloyd Imes of New York spoke on the Romance of Negro History at New Jersey Avenue School, Friday evening, November 9th. In presenting his subject so that no misrepresentation as to meaning of education could in any manner occupy the minds of his audience, Dr. Imes resorted to the project method whereby a test of the Romance of Negro History could be made. He said the test involves, first the story of a spiritual struggle, secondly, the challenge of creativeness, and thirdly, the inspiration of idealism. 1980 To Harriet Tubman, Phyllis Wheatley and Frederick Douglass, Dr. Imes pointed as the leaders in the spiritual struggle. Their conception of the onward march of race could, to a great degree, be portrayed in lines of verse. CLARICE WALKER minister, lecturer, and organizer of Apex Clubs, who was elected second vice president of the New Jersey Federation of Women's Clubs. Q Dr. Ines remarked: Samuel Coleridge Taylork, the personification of that all prevading and spiritual incarnation of God, choose the enchanted muse to express the longings of the race. To this group may be added the present day makers of Romantic History, Roland Hayes and Marion Anderson. * * * To Benjamin Baennecker, scientist, Dr. Imes allocated the Challenge of Creativeness as a test of the romance of Negro History. Dr. Imes referred to Baennecker as one, who when L'Enfant failed to complete the survey of the now national Capitol, was called upon to execute the most difficult and finishing touches to the plans. This, Dr. Imes said, is not in histories written by white men. --- To Pushkin of Russia, and Alexander Cromell of America, Dr. Imes pointed out as the inspiration of idealism. These two men have, through their teaching, preaching, and writing, left an indelible imprint and influence. To Pushkin, the whole fabric of Russian modern life, belongs the credit. These and other great Negroes do not grace SANTAL MIDY Night Bladder Weakness or Kidney Pains of the Aged Relieved promptly with genuine Santal Midy Effective-Harmless the pages of history written by white man. * * * It was the spirit of Cromell that caused Richard Allen to lay the foundation upon which Brooks, Tindley, THE NEW YORK TIMES Walker, Powell have built. In his closing remarks Dr. Imes said if this and similar instances is not the Romance of Negro History, then what are we to hope for. He urged that Negro books be placed in schools and libraries. Tribuet was paid to the present day historian, Carter G. Woodson. The program which included musical numbers by young Tunia, Clarence and Joseph Jacobs, solo by Thomas Murphy, a paper by Evelyn Ford, was presented by the Negro Alumni Association of which Mrs. Marceline Lewis-Hinton is President. --- Education Week had its day in the Churches.

The Atlantic City division of the Apex Schools have this advantage over the schools of other cities, the privilege of enjoying the beautiful home of the President which is frequently thrown open for meetings of the Club. and other meetings.

After hearing the program those present were united in their convictions that the art of beautification as practiced to day is indeed a profession much to be desired, and worthy of any sacrifice. Beauty of form is but a step from beauty of thought and mind, and the Class was enjoined not to neglect any of the various types of beauty by Mrs. Love. * * * After the program the most delicious refreshments were served by members of the Graduating class.

Mrs. Anderson has a total of 685,000 votes, having jumped from eighth place. This is the first time that a Philadelphia representative has gained the coveted leading position since the "Queen of the Classic" contests were started six years ago. And with only two weeks left before the closing night—November 24th—baseball fans who followed the heroic fight made by the Philadelphia Athletics to overhaul the Yankees of this city, are asking themselves, "Will Mrs. Anderson be able to continue the pace to the end?" Some distance from the leader, but not so far away that they cannot catch up with her are, Lillian Page of Baltimore; Clara Layba, Brooklyn; Mabel McIntosh, New York; Daisy Henderson, Atlantic City, Gay Ingram, New York; Thelma Yancy, New York; Edna Covington, Washington, and Phi Phi Jones, New York. Miss Page jumped from tenth position to second, while Miss Layba and Miss McIntosh are tied for third place. Incidentally this makes the fourth consecutive week that Miss Leyba has found herself tied up with another contestant. This in itself is proof positive of the keen interest which the contest holds for the public this year. A difference of one five year subscription or 250,000 votes separates the first five contestants and just two five-year subscriptions or 500,000 votes separates the next five contestants from the top. To an active and determined contestant this should be a comparatively easy task. The contest is tightening up, as it usually does near the end. Every girl of the first ten has an even chance to win the first prize and nearly any girl in the contest even at this late date has a chance to finish among the first five prize winners. To do this however, it requires strenuous effort and a stout heart. The girl who is finally crowned "Queen of the Classic" for 1928 will know that she was in one of the most hotly contested battles for popularity supremacy that any newspaper has ever conducted. Two of the most persistent workers in the contest are the Misses Phi Phi Jones & Clara Leyba. Both of them have done yoeman service and they have been going strong since the beginning. Two others are Misses Mable McIntosh & Daisy Henderson of Atlantic City. Miss Million Page of Baltimore and Miss Thelma Yancy of this city, also Miss Edna Covington of Woronto are recent entrants in the contest, but are making up for lost time. A great deal is expe from Miss Gav Ingram and Daisy Williams of Patchogue. L. I. and Ethlvn Smith before the clock strickes twelve midnight November 24th, next Saturday.

Edgecombe 6661. The reason for this is the Contest Editor is anxious that the final standing which will be published next week will show exactly where each contestant stands. On Saturday, November 24th the total number of votes which have been cast in the contest will be counted by the following judges: Lester Walton of the World: Alderman John Clifford Hawkins; Mrs. Marv Lane Ross. Chas Buchanan. Mer Dr. the Savoy Ballroom and Billy Pierce. The verdict of the judges will be announced at the Savoy Ballroom Monday. November 26th.

"Dear Jackie—I wonder if you could help me find a nice young girl who is thinking seriously of the future. I am a young man twenty seven years old and have a good job. I would like to meet a young girl not over twenty-five and about five feet high. She must be nice looking, but not pretty. I have planned to use your column before now but have not had the chance. I hope you will be able to do something for me." \* \* \* Word comes from our Reformers thanking us for such sunshine as we have been able to turn in their direction. We are pleased. \* \* \* In search of an interested "party". "I am very lonely and would like to correspond with a nice looking young man between 20 and 22. I am 18 and am five feet, 3 inches and considered a fairly good-looking brown skin girl. I am willing to send a picture of myself in exchange for the young man's photo. I like to dance and am a fairly good basketball player. Also fond of other soprts. Please, Jackie, won't you try to find an interested party for me?" * * * Here is one from the Golden West and the writer is a boster of the Tattler too. "I have been a reader of the Tattler since I found it here in Oakland and I like it very much. As soon as I am through reading it I pass it on to each member of the Association to which I belong, and now I have all of them buying it. The gentleman who sells them told me he would have to put in for an extra number of copies. Enclosed you will find a letter for the girl friend in Buffalo." I wonder how much is too much? "Not being a gad-about, I am trying your column to find a worth-while pal who will get good consideration, if she doesn't expect too much—Very Lonesome." *** While the voice of the Quaker president-elect still rings in our ears, a letter is toasted to us from the Quaker City. Things are taking on a Quaker hue. "There is something in your column of Lonesome Hearts that attracts my attention: I fortunately possess three qualifications that Words are inadequate to express my thanks if you will give me her name and address, a young lady desires, so I am sending this letter to her. I am a young chap approaching my thirties, a product of Central High School and am employed in the Government service here.

Lincoln men-teach at Morgan and Morgan is the haven for Lincoln men who have fallen by the wayside and want to return to school. In fact the. two schools are very close. Yet, Morgan forgot all about her regard for her older brother and beat him unmer- cifully on the gridiron. Lincoln tried hard but could not seem to get any- where against her younger rival. The score was 1—0 at the end. “Pinky” Clark and Lawless shone for the Bears; while, Clark, Rarman and La Marr were Lincoln’s luminaries. * = * Some social high-lights of the game were: Bouncing Bessie, the Ford be- longing to the late, Love and Mead- doughs Co. made three trips fully load- ed to Baltimore and return.

Now they have nothing to do but wait until next fall and meet again. One thing, however, that their visit to ‘the campus brought about was that we got a change of menu. It is a won- derful thing how many various kinds of beans can be served during a week to us, poor sfudents. Navy beans, kid- ney beans, baked beans, boiled beans, lima beans, and even string beans look us in the face day in and day out. Pretty soon I'll be afraid to look a bean bog in the face for fear that the beans’ will hall me as a brother bean. e * * : The Republican Committee of Atlan- tie City wired a hurry call to “Roddy” Lucas when things got to looking bad for their candidate.
