A general Real Estate and Insur --- The Interstate Jattler AS Thanksgiving Day approaches it is the custom of sour faced preachers and baldish editorial writers to warn us against devoting the day solely to feasting and worldly pleasures. They remind us that since the name of the holiday implies gratitude to the Creator for the good things He has given us during the year we should offer our thanks in a spirit of humility and reverence. In other words, the day should be observed instead of celebrated. With all due respect to the gentlemen of the cloth, and considerably less for our fellow craftsmen, we think this notion is out of step with the times and out of keeping with the spirit of the original Thanksgiving Day. It is our idea that the best way to show our gratitude for the blessings the Creator sends us is to enjoy those blessings. To some people the sweetest thing in life is to go to church and listen to a two-hour sermon while stealing side glances at the sheikish deacon or the fetching sister in the pew across the aisle. Others will get a big thrill watching eleven husky young men smack the line while still others could go on out of the world shaking their dogs to the rhythm of jazz. We believe all these pastimes, in the eyes of the The Old Guard of the Veteran Performers of Old Lafayette Stock Carry On in Various Vehicles ANDREW BISHOP has returned to the city where career to play leads for the Alhambra stock company heads a tiny stock company which is present at Drake and Walker's.

Eventually four acting companies were formed to play in Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia and Harlem, seemed to be on the high road to permanent success fell into a decline and was disbanded almost as quickly formed. The Old Guard of the Drama The Old Guard of the Drama Veteran Performers of Old Lafayette Stock Company Still Carry On in Various Vehicles ANDREW BISHOP has returned to the city where he began his career to play leads for the Alhambra stock company. Ida Anderson heads a tiny stock company which is presenting one act plays at Drake and Walker's. The coincidence of these two veterans of the stage playing around the corner from each other inevitably carries the mind back to the days when both of them were leading members of the Lafayette Players. It was a unique organization which took its name from the playhouse further up the Avenue. Practically assembled overnight, the company won a huge local following in the course of a few weeks and laid the foundation of a prosperity which continued several years. Eventually four acting companies were formed to play simultaneously in Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia and Harlem. The organization seemed to be on the high road to permanent success when it suddenly fell into a decline and was disbanded almost as quickly as it had been formed. Miss Bowman was one of the versatile members of the Lafayette Players who could be utilized to fill a wide variety of roles. She could step handily from a comic role to a serious one, and changing from the intensity of melodrama to the insouciance of light opera was for her as facile a matter as changing costumes. Subsequent to her appearance in "Meek Mouse" another Broadway producer engaged Miss Bowman for another play and attempted to build a cast around her. He has been combing the colored show world almost a year and so far he has not been able to obtain a cast which did not look like a company of amateurs in rehearsal with Miss Bowman. They say that's how good she is. Another member of the old Lafayette Players who won her day of applause on Broadway is Inez Clough. She appeared in "Earth" and experimental drama presented at the New Playwrights Theater. More recently Abbie Mitchell, who, like Laura Bowman, played both speaking and musical roles with the Lafayette company, had an important part in "Coquette." JEROME H. FRANK eir Harlem clients at 200 WEST 135th ST., Room 117, Tel. Brad. 096 and Insurance business will be conducted—but as heretofore, a sp Discouraged but not disheartened, the members of the company dispersed and sought employment for their talents in various other fields. A few of them followed the line of least resistance and went back to musical show work. Others, in the face of heart-breaking opposition, have kept up a gallant fight to prevent drama from disappearing from the Negro stage. Many of the latter have been rewarded with more than average success and two have won National fame, and it is interesting to review their individual fortunes since the breakup of the organization which was the nursery of their ambitions and the school of their talents. A year ago a play called "Meek Mose" appeared briefly on Broadway. It was not much of a play and the acting was nothing to write home about except in spots. There was, however, one member of the company who gave a splendid performance. All the critics agreed on that. The actress who contributed the fine performance was Laura Bowman, remembered by uptown New Yorkers as one of the mainstays of the old Lafayette company. 1st, 2nd and 3rd MORTGAGES OUR SPECIALTY Creator, are equally good. If not, why did He make them enjoyable? And do not forget to do the right thing by that bird. Most of the time we moderns eat because it is a necessity. The ancients had sounder ideas of the relationship that should exist between food and the uvula. The Romans, for example, used to rise from a banquet and produce artificial vomiting so they could immediately sit down to another feast. We do not suggest the revival of this ancient custom, of course, mainly because the modern stomach is not hardy enough to survive the practice. We merely want to emphasize the point that eating should be made a pleasure whenever time and occasion permit. Hence we exhort our deciples to sit down to their Thanksgiving dinner with the feeling that the savour of the table is incense rising to Heaven. Linger over the feast as long as you possibly can between the matinee dance or the game and whatever pleasure you have planned for the evening. Remember you've got to hit the ball early Friday morning and the chances are the boss is going to drive you like hell from then until Christmas. So eat, drink and be merry on Thanksgiving Day. It's a religious duty. One cannot recall the members of the company who are still carrying on without wondering what he become of their fellow players who are no longer in the limelight. Clarence Muse appears at the Lafayette now and then with a musical show, Cleo Desmond is out on the Coast playing stock and Susie Sutton is playing opposite Andrew Bishop at the Alhambra. But what has become of Walker Thompson, Charles Ray, Charles Mores and Charles Olden? Perhaps they too are carrying on in obscure corners of the theater without the benefit of publicity. So much has been written about Charles Gilpin that it would be superfluous to mention him further than to note his connection with the Lafayette company. But another member of the company has achieved fame all but equal to his without receiving near as much press praise as she deserves. I mean Miss Evelyn Ellis. After the disbanding of the Lafayette Players Miss Ellis made a favorable impression on Broadway in "Goat Alley", and later played in the same play at Alhambra. Her success encouraged the backers of the uptown production of "Goat Alley" to attempt a revival of stock in Harlem. They presented the "Cat and the Canary," and "Rain", in both of which Miss Ellis played with Jack Carter and Edward Thompson. The Alhambra venture was not a financial success, however, and it was quickly abandoned. But almost immediately afterward Miss Ellis and Mr. Carter were engaged for leading roles in "Porgy", the Theater Guild success. As "Porgy" seems to be making a bid for a century run Miss Ellis will probably be ready to retire on an old age pension when her engagement with that play expires.

In spite of the difficulties which beset the Women's Auxiliary to the New York Urban League, their annual dance last Tuesday night came off with colors flying. After weeks of advertising the affair for the Alhambra Ballroom, that new venture decided to fail and at the eleventh hour left the League flat. Fortunately the Renaissance was available and with only a postcard announcement, the dance weat on; and in grand style. ```markdown ``` Aside from dancing, which is always a popular sport, Bojangles Bill Robinson of Blackbirds of 1928, world's greatest tap dancer, tapped down and told some amusing jokes; J. Mardo Brown of Show Boat did his cane specialty; Ida Lambkin put over some clever aesthetic dancing; a beautiful pillow was raffled off and won by Mrs. J. G.

Dresden, for Europe. Mr. Hemby will first visit Paris and then go by rail to Milan, Italy, there he will study opera for two years. He has a remarkable tenor voice and has received excellent notices for all his appearances. Last year he was presented in his first recital by Professor Bond, and later sang in The Messiah, at Carnegie Hall, Pittsburgh and gave a recital at his home, Savannah, Georgia, last October. After his Pittsburgh engagement the Daily Eagle prophesied that "The musical world will soon acclaim this young tenor another great artist" and the Daily papers of Savannah stated that he was given the greatest ovation ever accorded a single individual returning home. He has also studied with Oscar Saenger. *** Mr. Hemby who is polemarch of Omicron Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, is very popular in the younger circles of Harlem. Last Sunday Helen Smythe of the Village and Caska Bonds entertained in his honor at the Dark Tower. Among the guests were his intimate friends. Roberta Bosely, Harry Corley, George Read, Benjamin and Eleanore Ragsdale Sidney Wells, Lucille Randolph, Emery Bonner, the Harry Watsons and his sister, Mrs. Leroy Miller.

As usual there will be an elaborate dinner of many courses, and plenty of everything to go with it. # Speaking of Birthday parties, the one given by the vivacious Marion Duncan of Larchmount, New York, at the Bamboo Inn last Friday evening, was the last word in elegance. And how! Talk about ye good times. Those who were fortunate enough to be on the invitational list certainly did enjoy themselves right out and in and unto the end. The beautiful gowns worn by the ladles added to the attractiveness of the affair. As for the music, it was superb. Marlon Duncan, the charming hostess, who created the most congenial atmosphere, was the recipient of many beautiful and costly gifts. There were quite a number of out of town guests present, among them Minnie Wyche of Richmond, Va., Ella F.

The entire production was staged and directed by Mrs. Louis W. Ballard, well known dramatic genius. Mrs. Mattle F. Powell, charming wife of the beloved Pastor, Dr. A. Clayton Powell, gave an exceptionally good performance, and also designed the beautiful and artistic costumes worn by the fourteen lovely chorines, who tripped the light fantastic to the joy of the enthusiastic audience. Those who merit special mention are: John Ashurst, who played the part of the heart breaker of Chowderville, John McKinley, a student of N. Y. U., who furnished the comedy that kept the audience in hilarious laughter from start to finish; Dorothy Brooks, who played the daughter of Mrs. Sarah Ellen B. Springgs, the city widow, who had journeyed to Chowderville in answer to a matrimonial advertisement; William H.

You haven't heard from me for a long time, have you Dear? But please forgive me. I've been busy with the many obligations that go with home life and families. With the coming of this beautiful season the many hostesses of our progressive city are throwing wide their doors to welcome and entertain the interesting folks who are dropping in town. Polly Fletcher of Winston, Bessie Humbles of Lynchburg and Dr. "Dick" Weeden of the hilly city also, motored up in Doc's new Hup and spent the week-end. Polly was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. George Moore, Jr. Bessie visited Dorothy Brooks. Dr. Elwood Downing entertained Dr. Weeden and Dr. Charlie West of Howard University. This week-end bunch made our city unusually lively and we are looking forward to their return on the 24th. I'm sure you remember Mrs. Albert Evans who once lived here but now lives in New York City, do you not? She spent a few days as the guest of the Hobart Egglestons of 6th Avenue. Everyone was glad to see Daisy and she was honoree to a number of social functions. The clubs are in full sway now that Agents wanted everywhere. A two months Treatment sent for $2.00. Address all mail to Mme. T. G. Brandette, 1532-7th St., N. W., Wash., D. C. the indoor season is here. Each club has had its formal opening since I last wrote. Since I failed to write I shall not do so now. Nevertheless, the beautiful Masque Dance of the Regent Whist Club must not be left out of this bit of news to you. Everyone was there and enjoyed himself lots. The costumes were beautiful and gorgeous. The most outstanding ones were worn by Sallie and Fred Lawson. On the same night the classy little Collegians entertained the younger set with a dansante at the Ball room of Hotel Dumas. With chaperones "beaucoup", I am sure they had a grand time. Madames Thelma Cunn Williams, Emma Curle Lee and Alyce Moore were joint hostesses of the "500" club at Alyce's home in Wells Avenue last Friday. Of course Dot, you know why I cannot talk about this party much but from such evidences as the way they played and ate, they enjoyed themselves. "They" said it was a pretty party. Mrs. A. S. Topsey entertained her whist club at Hotel Dumas on Saturday evening and was hostess to seven tables. The Hotel ballroom is a spacious and lovely place to entertain and I have thought of entertaining our Bridge Club there. Oh, I don't think I've told you about our Friday Evening Auction Bridge Club, have 1? There are seventeen members and I think it is going to be a real lifesaver for us during the long winter evenings. The initial meeting was with Ethel Robinson, our President. Shall tell you more about bridge the next time. Our gang is elated because Thanksgiving is near and that means a trip for most of us. Dorothy Brooks is excited over her trip to New Haven to visit Susie and Charlie Tribbett and quite incidentally she will witness the Harvard-Yale game. Ellwood Downing and the G. A. Moore's are spirited up for the Howard-Lincoln Game and I am sure lots of others will be going. We are going to a benefit Whist party this P. M. sponsored by the Ivy Leaf Club and that will break the monotony of this dull holiday--for hoping to win a prize always lends excitement. I shall have gangs to tell you next week for everyone is agog over the Bluefield-Va. Sem. game here on the 24th. We always have such good times on these occasions for there are so many folks from out of town and everyone is partying and its just too bad. Lots of lov, ALYCE. Triple Event at Olympia A. C.

"In your column you usually get off on the right foot, as I have said above, but when you stride across the floor of the Alhambra or the Savoy, always placing yourself where you can be plainly observed, I wonder how long it will be before they come and take you to the place reserved for you at Central Islip. Really, you can't be all there, once you step outside the editorial office. You make yourself a bore to the hostesses and many a time I've seen them snicker behind your back. Recently, at the Alhambra I saw you open wide your mouth and hit the back of your head, trying to be cute but the girls screamed. You belong to the old days.

Since the Negro is being rapidly pushed out of other fields of employment, and since this field offers so many opportunities not only to pilots but to mechanics, engineers, salesmen, draftsmen, clerks, and radio men, the Negroes of America, foremost in aviation have come together and formed a National Aero Club which has for its object the placing of aviation training within reach of the average man's pocketbook. Local branches of this club are being organized in many cities, with the idea in mind of having a branch in every city where there are an appreciable number of Colored people. One of the benefits derived from membership AMERICA'S UNRIVALLED REVUE HIT! in this club is to receive the practical home-study course in aviation at the cost merely of the printing and paper; the member having finished this course is then entitled to take actual flight instruction in planes owned by the club for the cost of the gasoline and oil and upkeep of the plane. A pilot is employed by the club for group instruction which reduces the cost to learn to fly to a negligible sum. Each local club handles its own money. The National Organization has no jurisdiction over the money of the local club, however, the locals send to the National Organization $5.00 per member out of the joining fees for the following purposes: $1.00 for the club pin (a set of wings worn by all members, $1.50 for one year's subscription to the club magazine Aero News, $2.50 for printing, stationery, postage, clerical services, etc. William J. Powell, a graduate of the University of Illinois, is the president of the organization and William A. Wright the secretary. The National Headquarters are at 1431 West 35th St., Los Angeles, California. *** It is with profound regret that the officers and members of the King Bee Social Club announce the death of Mr. Earl Nichols, First sergeant-at-arms of the club, who departed this life Sunday, Nov. 25, 1928.

Speeding might get you tangled with John Law. * * * True Story Certain sectors of Seventh Avenoo are amused at the "inside" story of a producer, whose name we will call Heart Danger and who recently fell in love with the leading lady of his production. From underground channels he learned that she was receiving the attentions of the musical director, so instead of firing his "heart", he dismissed the baton juggler. The other night the press agent of another attraction flirted with her, and they became fast and furious friends. The producer's spy lost little time telegraphing him to hasten to Boston, where the show is playing, and the jealous sponsor (who has a description of her "flame") goes back stage every performance and inspects every face in the male chorus looking for the culprit. The other side of the yarn is that when it is related to various Seventh Avenoo Playboys who have sweethearts in the same show, they usually frown, and inquire: "Do you know her name? It's probably my girl!" And maybe it is, who can tell? Thelma Yancey, Lillian Page and Clara Leyba are "Classic" Prize Winners Thelma Yancey, New York University Co-ed Wins First Prize in the Tattler's Great "Queen of the Classic" Contest—Lillian Page of Baltimore Is Second and Clara Leyba of Brooklyn Is Third WITH a total of 4,465,000 votes to her credit, Thelma Yancey, of 165 Weet 136th Street, has won the grand prize and the title of "Queen of the Classic" for 1928. Miss Lillian Page of Baltimore, with a total of 4,045,000 votes came in second and Miss Clara Leyba, of Brooklyn, with 2,905,000 votes finished third in the Tattler's sensational "Queen of the Classic" popularity contest, which came to an end last Saturday evening at twelve محمد بن محمد --- THELMA YANCEY, New York, winner of first prize $200 in gold and the title of "Queen of the Clasic" for 1928. o'clock.

But more will be said about the trip next week. Right now you are more concerned about how the winners won. Miss Yancey entered the contest during its later stages and despite discouragement from all sides, from those whom she had reason to regard highly, Ethel Abbott of New York has been announced.

W. BURROUGHS. A most delightful evening was enjoyed at the Elks' Wednesday evening, Lady's Night. Whist and entertaining was enjoyed by those present. Music was furnished by Hilton Johnson's Sunday Syncopators. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. James MacPherson, Mr. and Mrs. Irving Ray, Mr. Thomas White, Miss Jones, Mrs. William Clark, Mrs. Derrell, Mrs. Anderson, Mr. James H. Booker, Mrs. Mamie Pierce, Mrs. Curtis, Mrs. Barnes, and Miss O. Wright. The engagement of Mr. Charles Emmerson of Newark and Miss sensational, but it must be said in justice to Miss Lillian Page who won second prize and Miss Clara Leyba who won the third prize that they also fought valiantly and accomplished as much as could be expected under the circumstances. These young ladies, both of fine families tried hard to win the first prize as did also Miss Ethlyn Smith, Mrs. Vivian Anderson, of Philadelphia, Miss Mable Mc Intosh, Miss Gay Ingram and Miss Daisy Henderson of Atlantic City. All these young ladies won the trip to Washington at the expense of The Tattler and will be given the choice of claiming a percentage of their subscriptions. As can be seen from the final official standing of the contestants which is published elsewhere in The Tattler, Ethlyn Smith, Mrs. Vivian Anderson and Mable Mc Intosh were running almost neck and neck for the third prize, but their efforts did not quite measure up to that put forth by Miss Leyba. Miss Leyba is a Brooklyn school girl who expects to graduate at her next term and then she plans to enter Howard University to become a teacher. She was one of the leaders in the contest from the start, never dropping lower than third place, but also she was invariably tied with some other contestant for whatever position she occupied. One week before the end of the contest she jumped into undisputed possession of the lead and her friends thought she would hold it throughout, but in the last minute rush of votes she lost to both Miss Yancey and Miss Page, both of whose friends battled mightily in their behalf with the first prize as their goal. No finer representation of feminine charm or lady like qualities could be offered than by the three prize winners in this year's "Queen of the Classic" contest. And the same statement goes for every * * * she fought valiantly; with courage and determination; with a never-say-die spirit to achieve the coveted goal—the goal of being the most popular young lady in the East. But no story about Miss Yancey's splendid victory for such high honors would be complete without giving due credit and full credit to her mother. Mrs. Yancey worked like a Trojan. Without rest and with hardly any encouragement to help her daughter, whose love for each other is immeasurably stronger than the tie that binds most mothers and their daughters. Because of the tremendous handicaps under which she labored Miss Yancey's victory is all the more THE NEW YORKER LILLIAN PAGE, of Baltimore, winner of second prize, $125 and the title of "Miss Howard" in the "Queen of the Classic" contest.

Page Eleven other girl who was active in the contest as well as some who were not. Selectively was established in advance and this idea was carried out to a successful conclusion. The two outstanding sensations in the contest, according to the final vote tabulation were Lillian Page and Ethlyn Smith. Miss Page jumped from sixth place to second, missing first by a slim margin and Miss Smith jumped from twelfth position into fourth place, missing third by a close margin. Miss Mc Intosh whose efforts were really worthwhile could not muster up enough strength to carry her over the top but credit and unstinted praise is given her for trying. And the same goes for Vivian Anderson of Philadelphia and Gay Ingram. The fact is that every one of the leaders tried and tried and tried, but the first three just tried a wee bit harder and in the final analysis that is what counted in their favor. Because of the phenominal success of the contest the publishers of The Inter-State Tattler in appreciation for the gallant efforts of those who failed to win one of the three major prizes has added five THE WEDDING OF MARY AND JOHN CLARA LEYBA, of Brooklyn, winner of third prize, $75, and the title of "Miss Lincoln" in the "Queen of the Classic" contest. additional prizes, making a total of ten prizes which the publication will award. These prizes will consist of first, $20 in gold; second, $15 in gold; third, $10 in gold; fourth, $5 in gold, and fifth, $2.50 in gold. In addition to these prizes the fourth and fifth prize winners will be taken to Washington for the game along with the first three winners. Wilfred R. Bain, Contest Editor, wishes to extend his personal thanks to all of the active participants in the contest and to say a word of encouragement to those who failed. He assures them that there will be another opportunity in the not far distant future when the experience that they have gained in this contest will serve them in good stead. Congratulations and success to the winners-your victory was well earned.

AND lo, another mighty hero stands at the portals of Valhalla's domains and clamors for admittance. Jose Mendez, called by writers of all nations as the "Black Mathewson,"—'Pearl of the Antilles', and the greatest dark skinned baseball player that ever breathed, has passed on to pleasanter scenes, and greener fields where he may toss his beloved baseball in an endless world. For the third time since the mighty Cuban departed this life in Havana, Cuba October 31st, readers of this column have pleaded with us to write a lengthy article on his life, or to reproduce your correspondent's tribute of him that we ran two months ago. Lengthy tributes are unnecessary in the case of the brilliant Cuban all-around star, and we say all around, because he was as wonderful a shortstop as he was a moundsman. Save for Chacon, Bustamenta, and John Henry Lloyd, we knew of no shortfielder of color who rates mention in the same breath with the diminutive pitcher who ranks with Matty, Bender, Walsh, Plank, Coombs, Brown, et al. At his bier when death came was such noted stars as: Bell, Williams, Suttles, Washington, Marcell, and other star Afro-American players from the National Negro Baseball League who hibernate in Cuba during the winter season. Poor little Mendez has left our company but where he stood the sweet aroma of scented garlands enthralls the bystander—sleep on Jose, until the perfect awakening.

Lou Gehrig, Waitc Hoyt, and Andy Cohen, stars all of them for local National and American league outfits, are not only basketball stars, but own and manage their own clubs. A few seasons ago, Harris, second baseman and manager of the Washington Americans was rated one of the brightest lights of the courts as was Frankie Frisch until John McGraw halted his ambitions along that line. Harry Riconda, infielder of the Brooklyn Nationals, is a swell performer among the high priced professional basketball stars.

C.—Bruce Flowers vs. Jack Bernstein, Billy Franklin vs. Eddie Bowie, Ice Cream vs. Joe Kelly, ten rounds each; Lew Feldman vs. Sammy Fertitta, Johnny Gatto vs. Scotty Follins, four rounds each. Eddie Reed Coming Champ Chink Lind, well known basketball official and member of the sensational "Collegian Five", New York State Amateur basketball ball champions, thinks that Eddie Reed of our little old town is the next featherweight champion. Reed, who boxes under the management of Carl Barrett of Philadelphia, first gained the attention of your correspondent at the local Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. We watched him work a few rounds with Al Lind one evening, and there and then we pronounced him the goods. Eddie, is one of those unassuming sort of chaps who believes in acts rather than lots of colorful ballyhoo. Having chosen the fight racket for his life's work, he merely asks that his manager secures more and better ringmen. He is proclaimed by experts as a pocket edition of the beloved George Dixon—and while we know that every manager who has a fair to middlin boy who scales within five pounds of the incomparable "Little Chocolate" emits the self same claim; in the case of Reed it appears to be no misnomer. Just lamp over this partial list of boxers he has met: Benny Valger, Al Winkler, Tommy Cooney (twice), Al Gordon (three times), Milton Cohen, Harry (Kid) Brown (twice), Charlie Goodman, Eddie Kid Wagner, Babe Herman, Kid Chapman, Lou Meyers (K. O. one round). and other high class mitt weilders. Eddie will be in town shortly, and this brief history of him will not be overlooked we trust by matchmakers Jess McMahon and Tom McArdle who are desirous of red hot club attractions. Paterson Girls Five The Paterson Liberty Girls have reorganized for the 1928-1929 basket ball season and are prepared to meet any first class female quintet. Having had three successful seasons on the ribbed court, the Liberty Girls are sure to give keen competition to any team this season. They have all their former stars in the line up. Beckman's All Stars Fall Before Mighty Renaissance Juggernaut Nat Holman Will Bring Jewish Crackerjacks To Casino Thanksgiving Night Bob Douglass' Renaissance Five played merry hob with the team of all stars that Johnny Beckman brought to Renaissance Casino last Sunday night. Beckman, who had played two games prior to the engagement with the Colored champions, was anxious to win this tilt, but so was Renaissance. Harold Mayers, one of the outstanding guards of present day basketball was back in the lineup after three weeks layoff due to an injured digit. Mingling with the crowd was Georgie Fiall,—a kid who can play the court game with the best in the business, but for some reason will not heed the warnings your correspondent has so often given him out of the wealth of friendship that will always exist between us—Poor Georgie. The first half was a walkaway with the "Rens" swarming all over the Beckman Stars like they were a lot of selling platers, the score at halftime being 30-11. The convalescing Mayers played beautiful basketball as did Eyre Salth. Beckman, left to keep another appointment commencing the second half and Roxbury went in for him. Bob, sent in "Baby" Monroe and 'Stretch' Hill and the stars managed to make the one sided contest a trifle more interesting. The final score was Renaissance 46—Beckman All Stars—25. The management has booked the Passaic Pioneers for next Sunday night, and they are bringing a powerful team to the hall. Perhaps the finest game of the current season will result when Nat Holman, world's greatest exponent of the court game, brings his "Hakoah" Five comprising the best Jewish ball hawks in the country, to Renaissance Casino Thanksgiving (night). In the Jewish or Hebrew language, the word 'Hakoah' means strength, and Holman has nothing else but in this classy lineup. Davey Banks of Celtic fame, Trupin, Red Scheer, and other nationally known Jewish courtees will essay to defeat the colored speed merchants on their home court right before your eyes. Captain Hilton Slocum, has the "Rens" on their toes and you can expect to witness a game that will live long in your memories when these two master fives take the court on Thursday night.

C. in Harlem. Battered to the floor five times in the fifth round, May was unable to respond when the bell rang for the sixth and the bout was awarded to the Cuban Negro. The Olympia was packed to the doors and the fans saw a real fight as long as it lasted between Chocolate and May. The Southerner, unafraid of the Negro's reputation, waded in, only to be slashed to the floor for a short count in the first. He was right on his feet and traded with the Kid. In the second May was down twice for short counts from rights to the jaw. In the third, the boy from Dixie started to fight Chocolate from the portside, and did better as a lefthander. After a hectic fourth, Chocolate solved his new style and sent him to the floor five times, each after a right to the jaw. When the bell rang May was barely able to find his corner. The minute's rest did him no good. So another knockout was recorded for the Kid. Harry Smith, Negro middleweight of Harlem, continued his unbroken string of victories by defeating Georgie Deschner of Jersey City in the six-round semifinal. Smith outboxed his rival in every round. Teddy Seidman gained the decision over Paulie Porter in their six-round bout.

Honorable mention must be given to "Rookie" Davis and Grayce Robinson, two talented young misses with an enviable reputation in the mid-west.

Dotson, Mainroe, and Maxwell as a dance trio is nothing less than a whirlwind of action. Ye Gods! What speed and pep. Chorines were all handpicked full of ginger, and worked with precision. Most interesting among this group was Little Josephine Richardson, of Philadelphia, who through the painstaking Leonard is making her initial debut into realms of footlights.

Miller's Brown Skin Models, Liza and Gay Harlem was done by a capable cast of principles and a beauty chorus which Philadelphia has declared to be the ace of all Miller's choruses. This company left last week for Baltimore to produce the famous Models, for a week being replaced by a new Miller Company under the caption of Hot Chocolate, more of which will be said next week. --- Whit and Rand (Eddie Whitfield and Harold Randolph) are doing theirs on the Keith, in and around Philadelphia.

EBLON A "NIGHT IN SPAIN" sponsored by the Alpha sorority was one of the most colorful events of the season and from a financial viewpoint the most successful. There were senors and senoritas galore, beautiful Spanish shawls awhirl covering exquisite gowns of blending hues, until you began to wonder "Am I in Spain" or am "I still in Kansas City?" The Spacious Paseo hall was decorated with silhouettes of senors and senoritas and Spanish shawls, a rather unique form of decoration. The Eccentric dance by Miss Willa Dixon, depicting a Matador fighting an angry bull, was executed with all the grace of the terpischorean art. A beautiful, imported Spanish shawl was presented by Percy Lee, master of ceremonies, to Mrs. Addie Porter-Williams, popular member of the younger set, who was adjudged by popular applause to be the most beautiful costumed lady present. Some of the charming society matrons who made beautiful senoritas were: Mesdames Waunebia Barker, Helen Jackson, Peggy Atkins, Sue Cotton and numerous others.

There seems to be much ado about complexion. I wonder if there aren't some other requisites more important. "I am a stranger in New York and find it very hard to get acquainted. I am a woman of light complexion and would like to correspond with a few refined ladies with the hope of joining some nice clubs. Please try and help me." ```markdown ``` Clef Club members, please give us your attention.. A lady on the air radios for help and says, "I must have that man!" "Dearest Jackie—I know you think I am awfully silly, but I saw someone Sunday I am just crazy to meet. But I have very slim grounds for you to work on. I don't know his name or anything about him. All I know is that he is a member of the Clef Club and that he attended Bobby Jones' funeral. He sat near the head of the casket in front of a green palm that kept worrying him, opposite the minister; wore a dark blue or black suit, light brown skin, mixed gray hair and very good looking. When the club marched out he was the last one in the line. Jackie, please see if you can find him for me." *** Our correspondent below sends his communication too late to receive an answer by Thanksgiving—but here's hoping for Christmas. "I am away all summer playing baseball and when I get in the city I have to pitch right into work and have very little time to hang around, but I am off nights and need a friend with which to go around.

"I wonder if you could find a lonely man who would appreciate a young widow, somewhat particular. I am five ft. 1 inch, brown complexion, with nice hair and bright eyes. I have studied art in two New York schools and best of all I know how to cook to find a man's heart. Guess I had better pipe down. self-praise as it is said to be part scandal." A girl of wide experience is sought but the acquired wisdom must come within the limit of thirty years. "I would like a young woman around 30 years who has experienced some ups and downs, light complexion and who is very lonely for a pal. Must not be over 5 ft. 6 1-2 inches tall and neat build. She must have cute feet and be nice fooking. I am 5 ft. 8 1-2 inches, chocolate brown, have white even teeth and am a fair dancer and boxer of note, also musician."

I am 20, dark brown complexion, attractive. English high school graduate. I should like to meet some girls of my own age who would probably help to cheer me. No objection to men, provided they are over 25." Nice looking ladies, it seems, are in great demand. "I am a very lonesome young man, 23 years of age and am not bad looking.

Thanksgiving, that long looked for day, the day when Lincoln and her age old rival, Howard, meet to settle scores on the gridiron, will soon be here. All hands are diligently preparing for the leading social event of the year; clothes are being pressed, hair made of fayish and all the other numerous activities that are necessary for the collegian to do before he goes away are being done with a vim and vigor that is just too terrific. "On to Howard" is the cry and a full pack of Lions will be on hand Turkey Day to see and back our team, win or lose. * * * Lincoln is fully determined to win this last encounter of the football season. The "old Grads" are rallying to the banners of the Orange and Blue as never before. To date we have Wayman Coston and George Goodman out here assisting Coach Myers—and—if their past performances mean anything, when they get through with the team Howard wont have a chance. *** There is a saying that "the prayers of the righteous availeth much." So every night my fervent prayer is that my Lions will be victorious. Just wait and see what the outcome will be. * * * There are going to be ever so many social affairs in D. C. next week and you can bet that there will be as many social mix ups where Lincoln men are concerned. Those poor little co-eds in Minor Hall who have been writing to three and four Lincoln men all year will have a hard time calming these gentlemen down when calling time comes around. --- I received a radio from a certain lady fondly called "Ma" that a new stock of spirits is being procured to enable all of us Lincolnites to have a superabundance of spirit to celebrate a victory or grieve a loss. It really is marvelous how many relatives a fellow can have in Washington or Philly when The Game rolls around. Already folks are being lined up for meals. Some of the fellows are making up schedules so that by running their visits on time a great deal of eating can be done in a short space of time. The fellows work on the principle that a meal today, a good one, will tide you over on lean days. --- Newspaper reports from D. C. announce that the "Greasy Vest" and the "Dirty Spoon" collegiate eating houses on "Seventh and Tea" are buying up enormous stocks of Hot Dogs. A great run on the market is expected next week. \* \* \* The team will miss the sterling work of Hill at guard next week. "Senator" has been unusually unlucky this year. First he had three teeth knocked out in a game and in our last game suffered a broken leg. On top of that he contracted pneumonia. The student body all sympathize with Hill and wish him a speedy recovery. --- It is rumored that Tommy Mosely "Chick" Overall and "Shorty" Davis are the ones who originated the saying that "college bred is a four years' loaf." They must be the ones because one never sees them in school except during the middle of the week. Well Lincoln is a good place to leave one's trunk. *** Wonder of wonders! Cherry, Valdes' pride and joy, has been resuscitated and her proud owners expect to chug into the Capitol in all their glory. --- Poor "Kev". Coleman is having a hard time with his struggle buggy newadays. Sometimes she runs and some times she don't.

As one fellow put it Sonny Boy would have all kinds of nightmares if he was sung to sleep by any such lullaby. *** Mr. Green, of the canteen, wishes to announce that he has unconditionally given-up his position as president of the 98 per cent Wrong Club in favor of Rev. Robinson. Robinson really warrants this honor on the campus that wont be equalled in ages to come. * * * "Mack"Wetherless is giving "Kigo" Hibbler lessons in etiquette so that they will be able to cope with Washington society to the tenth degree. Mack is really rushing Vanity Fair to death these days. He is the epitome of what the well dressed man should wear. *** Jim Myrick, a pianist of no mean ability, seems to have played his way into a certain young Philadelphia maiden's heart. He seems to be giving weekly concerts in the city of Brotherly Love. \* \* \* "The Eel", better known as the pride of Arkansaw, or Dr. Meaddough's baby boy, is all excited about seeing a certain young Howardite next week. Good things come in little packages. eh Joe? * * * A new organization has made its debut on our campus within the last month, and is progressing very rapidly towards fame and distinction. The men at Lincoln whose homes are in the City of Culture, Boston, have banded themselves together into what is known as the Massachusetts Lincolnites. Among the members are Julie Martin, Captain of the football team; Sheep Jackson, veteran quarterback, Jit Taylor, George Charleston, Leon Johnson, Babe Gray. Bel Ross, Lawney Hilliard, L. Moseley. B.

One of the most exclusive ballrooms and the best orchestras obtainable have been engaged, all of which points to a big affair. It is understood that all Lincoln men are cordially invited, and we are quite sure that Babe Gray will introduce all Lincolnites to those gorgeous women he is always raving about. Well — I'll see you at the game! Bainbridge Defeats Pelham The Fast Hutto Jr. High School football team played Pelham at Bainbridge, Georgia, last Thursday.
