This is the first time since the con- test started that Miss Leyba has been able to break through the pack of popular young ladies from seven cities who are striving mightily to gain the coveted honors which assure them of being most popular among their group in the East. Even at this late day, she is followed closely by Mable Mc- Intosh and Thelma Yancy, both of dear ole Harlem. Miss MelIntosh has 1030000 votes while Miss Yancy, N. Y. U.’s popular co-ed, has 950,000 votes; Miss Leyba has 1,040,000 votes for “Queen of the Classic.” “With the contest less ithan thirty-six hours within the time when it will be drawn to & a _ : ae ae sz Pivxe oe Cute gage mts: OG OR e a FA “a Pao ses a ae - rae a hy ye ae oe: ae. oe ae i x ee ; ae eons aon s od ’ an) ' : . * al bs *. ¥ a .

C.. 395.000 votes. The battle for supremacy is far from being won by any girl in the contest, for the simple reason that no one girl has assurance of a safe margin for the laurel wreath of victory to rest upon her brow. The contest has been a nip and tuck affair from the start, seven different girls having held the lead. with none of them strong enough to command a pre-eminent position. This situation is in contrast to the “Trip to Paris’ contest when the eventual winner took the lead and held it without interrup- tion throughout. As we have previously stated, the contest will end officially Saturday, November 24th at twelve MEE : —— OREEROE OR Beg east eas eae, a) omnes ic Th AROS CRN ARSE Ti Seta ao.

The Savoy Ballroom; Lester Walton of the World, Billy Pierce of Pierce’s Studio. This gives a repre- sentation in several different fields of endeavor. They will recount the votes which have been cast since the contest started and make a statement showing the actual status of every contestant.

This affair will be held Monday evening, November 26th, at which time the cash awards, amounting to $500 in gold, will be presented by Johnny Hudgins, the master pantomine artist who will be assisted by William (Bojangles) Robinson. Bennie Butler, Theatrical Editor of The Tattler and Wilfred R. Bain. Contest Editor, will also officiate. Every girl who obtains fifty subscriptions or its equivalent will also be taken to the Lincoln-Howard Football Game at Washington, D. C., along with the winners at the expense of The Inter-State Tattler. Thus it is possible many of those who fail to win one of the three major prizes will enjoy the trip to the game just the same. Elsewhere in The Tattler will be found the official semi-final standing of. every contestant. The next one to be published will show the names of the winners, who by that time will ‘be on their way to the game. : fo. 2... 2e&@ £... M22 wt OC...

The portraits are arranged in a grid format with four rows and three columns. Each portrait is encased in a circular frame with a white border. The individuals are smiling and appear to be in a relaxed, friendly setting. The background of each portrait is plain, focusing attention on the subjects.

CUTE little Rosie Swain celebrated her birthday Friday with a bang up party at the ritzy new Witaka Club. Flowers and palms added a festive note and "Nappy" played the best of music. We danced and visited and ate and sipped and all in all had a marvelous time. In fact, from all reports, it was the best party that has come off at the Club. We had our pictures taken as we ate our salad which had been served by the Baby Cyclones in the most adorable crepe paper aprons. Oodles of presents were brought to Rosie and her boy friend looked like Santa himself when he escorted her home. * * * Among those present were: Mary nathy, Wilhemina Adams, Keornlight Smith of Jersey City, Dr. Winston Lee, Gladys Freeland, Mr. Glinn, MarScott, Doris Mignothe, Buddy Arba-garet Skeeter, Mr. Greene, Josephine ON PAGE 4 First row top, right—AVE MARIE THOMPSON, treasurer of the exclusive Les Douze Club, which entertains with a formal prom at the Walker Studio, Friday night.

The bride was formerly Mrs. Mary Lawton, who is widely known in religious, fraternal and charitable circles throughout the city. --- The couple were secretaly married August 29th last by Rev. Mumford. The announcement was a complete surprise to their host of friends. The reception was held at their home 207 West 136th Street, which was beautifully decorated. The bride, who received many costly and beautiful gifts, was chrming in a gown of gray lace over satin. *** Rhode Islanders had a big whoopie at Dr. and Mrs. Marshall Ross' Wednesday night. It was a most informal gathering devoted to a bit of dancing, much reminiscing and the eating of waffles, eggs and sausages. The guests of honor were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur R.

Mrs. AHGIE D. SMITH "With a cheery smile and a wave of her hand, she wandered off to an unknow nland. I can't say, I will not say she is dead, she is just away." LILLIE BARNES. Daughter The clever and vivacious Marion Duncan had another two bad birthday party, last Friday evening, when she choose the Bamboo Inn with its subdued lights and beautiful color scheme as a fitting setting for the entertainment of her many guests. * * * After the band had played "Home, Sweet Home," the merrymakers trotted over to the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. West in 142nd Street and were served some iced tea that made them feel like never no more birthday parties. *** Born to Mr. and Mrs. George Brown of 381 Edgecombe Avenue, a bouncing baby girl, weighing eleven pounds, four ounces.

Y., is the guest of her sister Miss T. Lippins. Speaking about dinners and the like, the one given by Mrs. Emma Gladly, of 20 West 130th Street, was just what the doctor ordered, and I don't mean maybe, either. Mrs. Gladly had as her guests the "Club Twelve," composed of a prominent group of social and fraternal leaders. To say that they enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. Gladly would be like saying president Hoover was elected. They did, and how! The menu consisted of every known variety of the most delectable dishes and this combined with radio music helped to establish this affair as being out of the ordinary. The "Club Twelve" personnel are as follows: Elizabeth Posey, president; Lottie B. Wade, secretary; Julia M. Wilson, treasurer; the members: Irene Chaney, Virginia Grant, Adele Scroggins, Ella Henderson, Lucy Beech, Jane Crawley, Pricilla McIntosh, and Minnie Kirby. If this first affair is any criterion of what other affairs given by Mrs. Gladly in the future will be like, those who are fortunate to grace the festive board will indeed realize the value of her friendship as a hostess par excellent.

Address Jackie Nobile, Editor of Lonesome Hearts Column, Inter-State Tattler. "If you had no one near you Who would try to cheer you, You'd be lonesome, too." (Abu Ben Adhem begged that his name be placed among those who loved their fellow men. Only by service to others can your name be inscribed near that of Abu's. Does your love encompass these lonely hearts away from the outside world? Choose ye this day which one you will serve). "In reading over your column each and every week, I am very interested in your work of causing so many people such great happiness. It seems strange I know to some people how a person can be so unfortunate in life as I have been. I am only one of the many. Each and every one is subject to mistakes. I am a young man of 29 years and not a bad liking one. I wish to find a young woman of my age or older who will appreciate a man who is never going to take the wrong path again." * * * "I am writing to you because I have no one to love me, no one to take any interest in me whatsoever. But I know you will help me as you have helped so many others. I am in prison but I am not a bad young man and I like most all sports. I am 23 years old, dark brown skin, five feet 71-2 inches. Weight, 1371-2 pounds. If there is some little girl between the ages of 18 and 23 that wants a true pal, please have her write me." * * * "While sitting here in prison of loneliness, my heart too is aching with sorrow. Since my confinement I have been misused and mistreated by those I once thought more of than my life. I came to prison to save the honor of a girl, who in return for my kindness gave me unfaithfulness. Would like to find a girl who has had a similar experience, maybe we could correspond and find some consolation in our experiences. I am 27 years old, brown skin, black hair. I would like the friend to be about 5 ft. 51-2 inches, fair complexion and a nifty dresser." "It has been my good fortune to discover through the Tattler, the existence of your office and its function and that you are not averse to bestowing your favor upon one who has had the ill luck of gaining the disapproval of the law. However, I am to be released May, 1930, and should like to correspond with a young lady until my sentence expires, with of course, the sincere intention of continuing the acquaintance afterwards.

A good time is assured all those who are the fortunate reci- pients of an invitation. Oh yes, I ai- most forgot to tell you the date of the affair.

The Theatre BENNIE BUTLER, Theatrical Editor "AMERICA'S LEADING COLORED THEATRE" LAFAYETTE 7th AVE. at 132nd ST. NOW PLAYING (UP TO SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18th A STORY THAT TOUCHES ON SEA LIFE "NOW COME" WITH A CAST OF POPULAR ENTERTAINERS PHOTO PLAY: "A SHIP COMES IN" WITH RUDOLPH SCHILDRAUS and LOUISE DRESSER NEXT WEEK—BEGINNING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19th LEONARD HARPER'S NEW AND SNAPPY OFFERING "MONKEY SHINES OF 1928" WITH THE SIX DANCING CRACKERJACKS FEATURE PHOTO PLAY: MILTON SILLS in "THE HAWKS NEST" AT THE LAFAYETTE Theatre this week, Sam Manning, the amusing West Indian comedy entertainer with his "Now Come" vehicle is the feature attraction. Manning, as Sir Samuel Squashie arrives from the West Indies and has difficulties with the U. S. Customs officers. He is successful in getting in and wends his way to Harlem, "Gay Harlem" or "Deep Harlem" as you may wish, where he meets a happy go lucky roustabout, whose only monicer is "Sonny". They go seeking work and eventually find jobs as elevator runners in a wild sort of an apartment hotel and then there after the fun is fast and furious. After drinking some had booze, they imagine themselves on a raft in mid-ocean. They quarrel, fall overboard and find themselves in Neptune's palace at the bottom of the sea. Sharks, whales, and mermaids meet them! What a time they have before they find themselves asleep on a bench in the apartment house! Seldom before has a local theatre presented a show with such magnificent scenery. Seldom before has an audience laughed so heartily. Manning does not depend on his inimitable West Indian dialect for his comedy. He has produced a remarkably good play and has surrounded himself with a large and capable cast. This includes Sonny Mitchell, Trixie Smith, Liolloa Young, Bessie Guy, Ismay Andrews, Ike Paul, Wada Boys, Al and Moxie, Rosa Henderson and other stage favorites. As a special added attraction, the Lafayette is presenting three of the outstanding heroes (colored) of the wrecked steamship "Vestris". Between them, these men saved forty-odd lives, killing two man-eating sharks and enduring almost unbelievable terrors. They are not actors. They have never appeared before an audience in their lives; but their spokesman tells a story which made the audience cheer the men as men have seldom been cheered in a theatre before. * * * This week's offering at DRAKE AND WALKER'S THEATRE is in all probability one of the best that has been presented since this famous team has taken possession of the Theatre. "The Jail Birds" is the name of this unusual presentation. Henry Drake and George Williams, as usual, more than please their audience with their witty chatter and unique actions. The jazz band took encore after encore with their fast spicy numbers. Mr. Gus Alkens, the first cornetist, is without a question of doubt one of the best jazzlest trumpet players on the rostrum. Jines and Jackelyn offer a novelty singing and dancing act which seemed to please. In conjunction with the regular program, this popular playhouse has inaugurated a prize night every Tuesday evening. Many valuable prizes are awarded to those holding the lucky numbers. Children may be admitted free every Saturday matinee. --- THE LINCOLN THEATRE offers "Heading for Typical Harlem," fastest and best show in many weeks, featuring several Lincoln favorites. John Mason, Izzy Ringgold, versatile Billy Andrews, Louis (Putnam) Landridge and Mary Preval are the feature entertainers. Dandridge stops the show! Maud Mills sings some hot numbers and leads the famous Marshall chorus in a fast stepping number which brought down the house. The Four Red Hots, boy dancers; Herman Taylor, Dick Conway, dainty Edith Simms and others followed, all doing good wrk. The screen feature for the latter part of the week is Fred Thompson in "Kid Carson." * * * THE ALHAMBRA is showing "Winners All" with Roscoe Montella and a fair supporting cast handling the comedy end. A few of the skits are out of this world, and Harlem's song-bird, Doris Rheubottom leads the prettiest number, "What's the Reason?" Amanda Randolph and the Sixteen Steppers stop the show with a hot number, "I Want a Good Man." The Drama players offer "The End of the World" with Andrew Bishop playing the part of a murderer featured in a grapping tale of how a group of outlaws were redeemed when they thought their time had come to meet their maker. * * * Mrs. Drake, wife of the well-known Henry, who now is managing and operating the house in West 125th Street, known as the Drake and Walker Theatre, left last week for Chicago, where she will spend a week or two.

Watler Jones, often called "Bodid idle," died last Saturday (Nov. 17th), at Harlem Hospital of pneumonia after an illness of just two days. He is survived by a wife, two children, mother, father and brother.

The theatrical profession was fully represented with the popular 4 F. Club out as honorary escort. ★ ★ ★ Johnny Hudgins was royally entertained last Saturday night at a local cabaret, where nearly two hundred people turned out to greet the "Fashion Plate" as Johnny is often styled. There were a number of English musical comedy players present, who knew Johnny on the other side and they sure made merry with Lew Leslie's comedy star of the famous "Black Birds." Johnny once again proved his love for his home town, Baltimore, Md., when he gave Lillian Paige also of Baltimore, a five-year subscription to the Tattler. The subscription, Johnny donated to a girl's Catholic school in Baltimore. * * * According to information, the Drake and Walker "Players" are going to support Lillian Paige in the "Queen of the Classic" popularity contest. Mrs. Drake told the young lady to call and present the matter one afternoon, to the players backstage at the Drake and Walker Theatre, West 125th. Miss Paige is a former member of the theatrical profession and it would not surprise any one if the Drake and Walker players back her so heavily in the stretch, that she'll romp home an easy winner. * * * The Koppin Theatre, Detroit, Michigan, "Black Dominoes," featuring Willie Rachardson, ably supported by "Candy" Grimes, Ella Mae Waters, Ruben Harvey and Levi Tate, are here for a week. which was opened last Monday. * * * Dudley's Broadway Strand Theatre, Detroit, is presenting "Moonshine" this week. *** The theatres of Quakertown catering to the Afro-American public are presenting the following productions: Gibson's Standard, "Monkey Shines;" Gibson's Broad Street, "Hot Chocolate;" featuring Gladys Bently; Pearl, "Girl of the Underworld," by Pearl Dramatic Players, supported by Sandy Burns and Sam Russell in a musical comedy; Bijou, "Raisin' Cain." * * * Roland Hayes, internationally famed tenor singer, presented a program of classic, modern and folk lore music at Carnegie Hall (N.

To Whom It May Concern I HAVE given away years of service to my race of people because I love them. It seems that I cannot say no when they call upon me to act as a judge in some contest or to sponsor some affair or benefit. But the Apex Beauty Contest held at the Renaissance Casino, Monday night, November 12 has stopped me from ever again acting in any such capacity. There were twelve or more judges, white and colored, and I was one. There were five prizes given and the ones getting the most votes were the prize winners. After the winners had been selected, they asked me to give out the prizes as they called off the names. There was one of the contestants who had a lot of friends in the audience who received a big round of applause each time she appeared. I thought myself that she was a very pretty girl. It was I who went over and put her in the line and I also voted for her, but there were nineteen who voted against me. Now I did not vote for her just because the people applauded for her, but just because I thought she was a very pretty brownskinned girl. This letter is not an apology to anybody at all, but is just an explanation for those people who occupied the upstairs stage box, who threw insults at me, and when I went up to explain to them, wanted to fight. One man drew his razor and started out of the box at me, but used very good judgment by remaining where he was. So, dear Public, I do not feel like rushing away from my work to come to these affairs to offer my services gratis to be humiliated and insulted and probably injured by people who are so dumb as to think that one judge can overrule twenty-five others. Thanking you. BILL (Bojangles) ROBINSON. Black Carl who was stricken one day last week and committed to Bellevue Hospital, is steadily improving and the doctors now have hopes of his complete recovery. His breakdown was attributed to harding of the brain arteries and nervous strain.

So that be well taken care of. Of comedy and the mass of the five hundred dollar winning contestants and the new popular champion Well, we are going to have another big nite and how, at the Savoy Ballroom next Monday evening, November 26th, when we will throw another party. This time it's for the "Queen of the Classic" and her consorts. And it's sure going to be some affair. What with many of Broadway's popular stars including an English troupe now playing in the "Roarin' Forties" and the local talent, it will be the greatest array of talent ever lined up for such an event. The one and only Bill Robinson will be in charge of the program and Bill sure knows his onions when it comes to handling a program. He's a champ and the king of them all when introducing talent. So that end of the entertainment will be well taken care of. Johnny Hudgins, the fashion plate of comedy and the master-artist at patomine, will award the five hundred dollars in gold prizes ($500.00) to the winning contestants and incidently place the crown upon the new popular champion, winner of the contest. The first prize is $200.00 and the title of "Miss Tattler," "Queen of the Classic," second prize is Miss Howard, first princess, who will be awarded $125.00 and the third prize is Miss Lincoln, second princess who will receive third money or $75.00. There will be two additional girls taken along in the party that will leave Wednesday night for the great annual game between Howard and Lincoln Universities, Thanksgiving Day at Washington, D. C. But fuller details will be given elsewhere by the contest editor, Mr. Wilfred R. Bain. Our end of the affair is the big reception party planned for the winners at the Savoy Ballroom, 140th Street and Lenox Avenue. And once again let me repeat what I have already said: "It sure will be some party and some program." "Bo" as Mr. Robinson is popularly known to his numerous admirers, will line up a program that will be a daisy. One of the big treats of the evening will be the Drake and Walker Band now playing at the Drake and Walker Theatre, West 125th. And the one and only Henry Drake will lead that band in his own inimitable way. Have you ever been so fortunate as to see the Henry Drake directing?

But this much we'll tell you; no we'll guarantee that there'll never be another such evening of pleasure and theatrical entertainment. Broadway favorites, stars from "Show Boat", the "Black Birds", "Just a Minute" and the English musical comedy production, "The Year of Grace", which came to New York direct from London.

Miss Allison and Mrs. Bain were the first and second prize winners in the recent Apex Beauty contest. Then Maude Russell, "Billie" Yarbo and "Peek-A-Boo" Jimmy and his jazz band will come up from the Century Theatre where they are featured in "Just A Minute." Well, you all certainly remember the big party we threw for the "New York to Paris" contest winners and how Bill Robinson dished out the $1,200.00 of "Tattler" money to the Misses, Alma Smith, Majorie Smith. Rosey Swain, Denise Clellen and Mae Brown. That "Party" will be duplicated with just this one difference; we're only giving away $500.00 this time.

A continual round of festivities will commence on Thanksgiving Eve., Wednesday night, November 28th, continue on Thanksgiving Day with an elaborate matinee program and concludes with the much talked about Thanksgiving night ball. Thanksgiving Eve will witness the last day on earth for twenty live turkeys which will be given free to twenty Savoy patrons. The matinee dance on Thanksgivnig Day, starting at 3 P. M. and continuing until 3 A. M. will be alive with several unique frivolities that all pleasure seekers will relish. The grand Thanksgiving Night ball bids fair to be Savoy's greatest event. Something like one thousand dollars will be spent to provide a carload of astonishing attractions. While the price of admission remains the same as ever, the scale upon which this grand ball is being prepared is so extraordinarily tremendous that all discriminating seekers after the joys of life should make it their business to see and hear it all.

With due consideration for those who might be of a critical mind, and our personal interest, the fact remains that according to popular opinion the Beauty Contest staged at The Rens Casino, under the auspices of The Apex Beauty System (Mme. Sara Spencer Washington—. Lewis, founder) was "a thing of beauty and joy unbound." Never before in Harlem's checkered history has a similar affair been staged in which so many real beauties predominated. Just imagine eighty-seven comedy Colored Americans of the feminine sex, with their best finery parading before some of the greatest celebraties on the stage and of journalism. Eighty-seven angles from Heaven above—pardon the stretch of the imagination—came forward, one by one to demonstrate to their own and the eyes 1. BEATRICE WALKER WIL LIS, New York; not among the leaders, but still making a game effort to finish one, two, three in the "Queen of the Classic" contest. of those Ofays that beauty is as great among us as it is among other groups of people—and pardon the ego—might I not say greater? And the judges—poor fellows, could they be endowed with the combined wisdom of Solomon and Shakespeare, it would have been impossible for them to reach a mere equitable and justifiable conclusion. But with splitting headaches they finally selected these from among that glorious array of Colored-American beauty: First prize, Bessie Allison; of whom a famous French critics once said, "she is the most beautiful colored girl in America." Second prize, Vivienne Stain, whose beauty of face, form and figure was excelled by none. Third prize, Flo Miller, an altogether different type of beauty. Fourth prize, Margaret Howard; whose beauty was exquisite and delightful. Fifth prize, Theresa Gentry; another type of beauty that was different. Out of sixteen Judges, Miss Allison won the approval of twelve; Mrs. Bain won the approval ULMA BANKS, New York, who might yet step forward and grab the bacon from some of her more active rivals in the "Queen of the Classic" contest. of thirteen; Miss Miller won the approval of nine; Miss Howard won the approval of eleven and Miss Gentry won the approval of ten. That's how close it was folks. There was no unanimous choice for any prize winner, contrary to the assertions of some. And so we leave here to 'conquer other worlds.' This corner extends his congratulations to the winners: Mrs. Sara Spencer-Washington-Lewls, Archie Morgan, manager and promoter; Mrs. Geraldyn Dismond, director of contestants, and the judges. May we all live long enough to see another like it although, I have my doubts. The image depicts a group of people sitting in a garden, surrounded by lush greenery.

WE are willing to concede that Arthur Woods is the second best pocket billiard player in the world, and if such is the case, James Evans, peer of all race billiardists can't be rated much lower than third. The dapper Evans staged one of the finest uphill battles against the man who is second only to the incomparable Ralph Greenleaf who was a world's champion at the tender age of nineteen; in their special 375 point match held in the E. C. Hutchinson Recreation Room, at 130th Street, last week.

This all is leading up to his playing at the best in the world for the National numbers of our race who intend to view the lives in a becoming manner. Refrain from grant is trying to study his next shot, done, and please remember that simple act told because of prejudice all over the Woods is no exception—meet Jimmie Evans, less champion, if ever there was one. EVANS was tailing by 42 points entering the final night's block according to the tally of your humble servant who acted in the capacity of official score-keeper, the figures being Woods 255, Evans 213. A lot of safety play ensued in the early innings, neither player appearing willing to open up until the proper shot presented itself. Jim pulled off a beautiful single shot commencing the eighth inning, and proceeded to pocket ball after ball a la Greenleaf until he had rung up the high run of the match—69. What admirable courage was exhibited by our champion, of whom we are all very proud. First, he had to overcome the thought that Woods had clicked off 65 ivories on the very first night's play, followed up by a magnificent cluster of 51 during the second block. Every sound that was made by non-contestants in another portion of the room was taken to heart by the chivalrous Evans, who tried to play host to the visiting Woods as few room-keepers strive to. Try as he might, he was unable to maintain the kind of silence at critical stages of the game that he would have liked to,—and that preyed upon him throughout the entire three night session. After much haranguing on the part of Mr. Evans and Ernest C. Hutchinson, he has at last succeeded in gaining entry to a recognized tournament with all white players competing against him. The promoter, Mr. Kreuter, who owns the 49th Street and Broadway Room, has honored Evans by making him the New York entrant—what a break for Jim! This all is leading up to his playing in a national tourney against the best in the world for the National title. Here's hoping that members of our race who intend to view these matches will disport themselves in a becoming manner. Refrain from applauding when a contestant is trying to study his next shot, don't talk boisterously at any time, and please remember that simple acts we commit are magnified ten-fold because of prejudice all over the country and this neck o' the woods is no exception—meet Jimmie Evans, folks, a real honest-to-goodness champion, if ever there was one.

Ricks and Jenkins, played the role of the 'Siamese Twins' when it came to making baskets, and once while the rest of the players were blocking each other under the west basket a long heave from Sanders to Ricks was ferried across from Ricks to Jenkins and back again to the amusement of the vest assemblage, while the Germans looked on awe struck. The first half ended 29-12, and the fans looked forward to a record score upon the resumption of hostilities. The second half provided the greatest thrill basketball fans have had this season. The Germans played wonderful ball, outscoring the "Rens" exactly two to one, amassing 22 points in less than fifteen minutes while the Renaissance ensemble were only able to tally eleven in the full twenty minutes. They were dead-locked 30-30 with but five minutes to go. Bosch dribbled through for a beautiful basket for Hoboken, and Ricks started a perfect din with another. Eyre Saitch, who is playing beautiful ball this season and who last week outplayed Davey Banks in Philly, broke the tie with a foul shot. The former tennis king was high scorer for the Champs, and shared with Kent of the Germans the high point tally of thirteen. The Monitor's defeated the St. Ambrose five in a well played preliminary game. The management has booked one of the best teams in the country for next Sunday night's game in Johnny Beckman's All Stars. The former Celtic ace has one of the strongest clubs in the country as you will see Sunday night. On Thanksgiving night (not afternoon), the World's Colored Champion, will meet the toughest foe they have faced this season. The Evans Wins Over Maturo at Kreuter's Resplendent in his "Soup and fish"—in fact the best looking player in the house, Jimmy Evans won his first match last Friday night. It marked the first appearance of a colored billiardist in a recognized State tournament in the history of billiards. Maturo started strongly getting off runs of 28 and 25 to lead Evans by a good margin when the first string was completed. A magnificent run of 45 balls by the dapper Colored champion brought the house down in thunderous applause and practically sewed up the match then and there. They are playing at Louie Kreuter's Room, 49th Street and Broadway, and first prize is $500. You are welcome to attend, but remember folks,—in such places we are always on trial,—so be yourself.

Washington Society "Who never helps to make a home, Can hardly call it his; Unless he saves or dreams or plans The carpenter's it is; And cottages, heart-built are far More dear than unearned mansions are. Who never helps to make a home, Can never call it theirs; Unless love fills it, it will be A thing of walls and chairs. But cherished homes, as Springs recur Grow somehow ever lovelier." --- A11, try all these tokens, the present day Alpha Phi Alpha men should certainly call the new living house theirs. We know they invisited it. we saw them working in it as industriously as women and we witnessed the harmonious result of their labor. If you are coming to Washington soon, as of course you are, with Thanksgiving, Christmas and Inauguration before you do get invited to 1917 Third Street, the beautifully appointed home of the pioneer Fraternity. ```markdown ``` We shall leave you much to see, in the beauty of the exterior, the harmonious blending of color, the excellence of location. Let us tell you only, that all of the revised architecture and decorating was planned and supervised by Messrs. W. J. Cassell and J. Jins Gardiner in the architecture Department of Harvard University, both members in the Praternity. One ascends to a spacious entrance and sees, at his rights, an extensive yard in crushed stone, ending in six garages, most of which are now occupied. Through an archway of pillars one passes from the porch to the entrance hall, where he is greeted by a pleasing flood of light. On Friday evening, November sixteen, this charming residence had its formal opening. Wistered in excitement, we arrived and were enveloped into the august presence of the gentlemen of the receiving time. They stood in the longing room, at the left as one enters. Immaculately dressed, they were not puffed up with glory, but were just themselves. Adonis Patterson, president of the house; Baxter Goodall, vice-president. Virdie Robinson, house manager; Paul Miller, secretary, and Nathaniel Murray and Robt. Ogle (Jewels). * * * We were then turned over to the Iras. For some unknown reason this combination of Y. M. C. A. frequenters considered us as especial guests, and escorted us from ground floor to roof, turning us over to the good graces of the Finance Director of the Beta Mu Lamba, Emory B. Smith, for an inspection of the cellar. The house accommodated twenty-four men, all of whom will board at the house-table. Three stories high, the first floor is given to living room, while the sleeping quarters occupy the two upper stories. The completely finished basement boasts of four showers, a dressing room, an oil-fed furnace and a Pittsburgh hot-water heater. On the ground floor are the lounging room, the gem of which is a Harsch electric radio, the office of the President and House Manager, the Grand Salon with parlor grand pianaforte; the Petite Salon, with equipped card tables, perfectly appointed furnishings and the same peacock green draperies that adorn the entire house. Hard oak floor, "low-bilt" radiators and a profusion of electric lights are parts of each room. Those rooms, very necessary to gentlemen of epicurean tastes, the dining room and kitchen, lack nothing in appointments that are alluring to one with gastronomic desires. The one-piece table and chopping block the Frigidaire and Vulcan range, the well stocked pantry and store room, the complete sets of silver, china, glass and aluminum, are assurance to any sweetheart that her Alpha Phi Alpha beloved will be well fed. ```markdown ``` One goes to the second and third floors by either a front or rear stairway. There are the luxuriously furnished bedrooms, with their aaint double-decked beds; their rich old maple furnishings; their THE INTER-STATE TATTLER rugs, typewriters and waste-baskets, their spacious closets and private baths, and the personal photographic decorations selected by each man. It seemed almost impossible to add to the appointments of this lovely home, yet the shower of gifts was in keeping with the splendid selections of the men themselves. Outstanding among these tokens were; A bronze smokador, from the Kappa Alpha Psi; a magnolia vase in graffita pottery of intriguing jade green, and mulberry rose on old ivory, with brown antiquing to harmonize the colors, from the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. A Chinese red desk set from the General Secretary, Joseph B. Evans; two meticulously carved elephant book ends from Miss Mildred Wright; a set of wrought brass and irons from Dr. and Mrs. Merril Curtiss; a crystal water bottle encrusted in scarlet from always-correct Mr. Dutton Ferguson; an ash set and incense burner from Miss Altona Goodrich (who may some day need it in the home of the House Manager); a large floor lamp from the grocer. two magnificent murals, one of the Grand Canal in Venice, from the Caribbean Club; one of the glorious rose windows of Notre Dame de Paris from Dr. Lloyd Newman and a box of Gold Dust Cleaning powder which came without a card, but which occupied an honored place among the linen. silver, pottery and bric-a-brac which were gifts of appreciation, too numerous to mention here. 球 球 The Fraternity is most anxious to give credit to its student members, through whose sacrifices and savings a Building Fund had been created and kept up over a period of many years. The contributions of these students were voluntary. The financial arrangements are so predicated on a basis of income and expenditure that all indebtedness will be wiped out within three years. Among the guests of the Fraternity on Friday evening were: Mr. A. Pierce Albert, Etta Burwell, Priscilla Buchanan, Gladys N. Booker, Samuel H. Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Austin Bell, Lula D.
