ALVIN J. MOSES, Editor—Inter-State Tattler. The Interstate Jattler Sure 'Nuff, Commissioner? LIKE our fellow citizens of other shades and sections., we have been observing the activities of our new police commissioner with mixed emotions. We applauded him heartily when he announced his intention to harry known crooks out of the city while breaking up their hangouts. When he turned his ax men loose on the speakeasies we grew somewhat enthusiastic, for we were haunted by the fear that a strongarm committee might call to pay their respects to some saloon while we were in it. However, the misfortune did not befall us. Indeed the sound of the crowbar ripping out fixtures and smashing glass is heard less often in the land and none of our favorite speakeasies were disturbed in the least. The super-heterodyne up in Frank's place is still in working order and the pictures of naked girls still smile as provocatively as they did in the days of Enright. McLaughlin and Warren. Mr. Whalen seems to be a man of judgment. The Solution ::: By Edgar M. Grey For instance, the average home for which the colored tenant is now obliged to pay $60 per month for (four rooms), was built for a white income group, whose income was from 35 to one hundred per cent higher than the colored family which is now in possession of these homes. The average salary to the colored family in Harlem is $25 per week. the average salary or wages for that matter, of the whites who formerly lived in these parts was $37.50. This means that, there was in the average a wages differential between the whites who formerly lived in the Harlem homes and the colored family which now inhabit the same homes of $12.50 per week. Yet the rentals which were charged the average white family which formerly resided in Harlem was $5 to seven dollars per room. When the colored people first moved into the homes which they now occupy, the first-class homes, (those in the near forties, and Seventh Avenue, brought to the white real estate sharks, an increase of from 35 to 70 per cent increase over the previous rentals which they received from white tenants. The colored real estate operator and agent, has by hard fights, and the application of common sense to the housing problems, served to remove the old superstitions, in respect to the reduction of property values ...Due to Lincoln's Birthday one will go to press on Monday.

Unless all matter is in the office by SATURDAY, it will not be published. GERALDYN DISMOND—Managing Editor Real Estate Depreciation This subject of the depreciation of real estate values, in the colored community, has been the topic of wide speculation, during more than twenty-five years in the field of property ownership, in the city of New York. It used to be argued that, the mere presence of a colored family as tenants within a particular piece of property, was sufficient to send the value of this house down, from twenty to twenty-five per cent from its normal value, during its occupancy by white tenants. This excuse was from time to time offered as reasons why the colored family should be asked to pay more rents than a corresponding white family. * * * In so far as the actual depreciation of the value of the property was concerned, there was point to the claim, if it was intended to present the probable market value of the property, in the mortgage and exchange field. But as to its actual depreciation, from the point of view of the yield which it brought, this was a mere fiction invented, by white real property owners, as reason for extracting from the pockets of black tenants, the high increases which the condition of the colored folk, permitted, and the operation of the law of supply and demand exacted. It was the colored real estate owner who, came to the fore some fifteen years ago, and disputed this libel, in facts and figures. Since that time, we hear so little of the scandal that. we are at a loss to understand where the froth has gone. It is true that, the houses which are now occupied by the colored Harlemite, were erected for income-groups, quite higher and superior to the income-groups which now occupy the houses at present the commissioner made to the press after the recent altercation between his chauffeur and a member of the traffic squad. Explaining why he had transferred an officer who apparently had only done his duty, Mr. Whalen said he had punished the officer because he had lost his head, adding that a policeman, of all persons, should be able to keep cool in an emergency. If the commissioner means just what he said we wish he would say it again and louder, so the policemen assigned to duty in Harlem may hear him. For when trouble starts in this section of the city policemen usually lose their heads before anyone else. Indeed it would not be a bad idea for the commissioner to have the statement printed on a placard and nailed up in the 135th Street station and require all patrolmen to read it daily just before their tour of duty. If policemen can be persuaded to keep their wits about them they will find less use for their nightsticks and the other armament they carry.

It has hardly been appreciated by the colored people; but it is true that, their management and operation, of the homes in Harlem, did redound to the credit of the masses of the colored population. It will perhaps take ten more years before the colored real estate operators and agents will have organized sufficiently to enter the field of contracting, or erecting new homes. This particular phase of real estate operation according to Mr. Stewart Brown, President of the Real Estate Owners Association, in the latest issue of his magazine, "The Citizen", is a special field which requires special methods of financing and study. This phase will come. It requires first, capital, and then credit. Another phase in the field which has been neglected by the colored operator, but which we believe is near at hand is that of specialization in real property management. Several efforts at one of the most modern phases of real property operation, has been engaged in in Harlem—that of the cooperative. This is a highly specialized field, and it requires intense study, and a certain very special kind of real estate good will. It has not met with any brilliant success in Harlem, but we are of the opinion that, if the real estate operators who are in a position to enter this field would employ persons who have given special study to this phase of the real estate game the time would not be so far away when even this phase of the business could be safely operated and engaged in by our real estate men and women. What is most needed at present is the cooperation of the average colored Harlemite and the real estate broker, operator or manager.

You may not have known it, but nevertheless it was the natal day of Dr. Edgar "Perky" Perkinson. I know you have guessed what is coming next. Oh Yes—Dave Chink Watkins and II. Binga Dismond pitched a party in his honor. It was a complete surprise to the Perky, and although I was not invited, I got all the information first hand—those things will leak out—and even a piece of the birthday cake which was all frosted over, had "happy birthday" and "Perky" in pink ice, and thirty-four candles on it. There, I have told you his age. Well anyhow, it was a wow of a party. To be very different, the hosts served only liquids, and the wise cracks that were passed, well—I can't tell them all but they were of this flavor. "Is there any romance left for a man of thirty-four?" (that by a dizzy vamp). "I don't know, I have queer pains in my back." (this by the Dr. Perky). Oh, it was gay all right, and way early in the morning the party moved to Tabbs for breakfast. There was only one thing that I couldn't get the real low down on. You know why! How- THE ever, the following were among those present: Dalsey Hamer, Bobbie Branch, Blanche Dunn, Marion Pettiford, Charlie Wood, Tom Layton, Dr. C. D. Donaldson, Chuck Jones, Skeeter Gorham, Puss Sanders, and Dr. J. T. Nicholas. * * * Officer Allen Benton entertained at his home on Sunday in honor of Officer and Mrs. Louis E. Williams of Newark, N.

Of course, they always have exceptional music—Arthur Gibbs and his Arcadians played this time and they can make you step. The crowd was good not immense, but the spirit and spirits made up for any deficit in numbers. The casino was beautifully decorated with paper streamers and club banners and paper caps were supplied the guests. I had planned to stay a hot minute and make the Social Rounders' at the Renaissance, but three o'clock found me still carrying on. I have a special favor to ask of the club.

We offer our heartiest congratulations to Lila Jeffers and Velma Gadsden who have come out of G. H. S. alive and with their precious diplomas. Good luck to you both. There were great times in the "oletown" last Tuesday nite. It was the initial meeting of "Billekins" the revue which Mrs. Laura Jean Rollock will stage in April. As Vesta and I entered Mrs. Rollock's lovely apartment, I stopped and gazed, for it seemed as though every pretty girl in Brooklyn was there, "Peggy" Burrill, and her cute "sis", Arline, Mary Coleman, Hortense, Coleman, Vesta Atkinson, Velma Gadsden, Rae Hairston, Iris Wilson, L'la Jeffers. Elsie Wilson, Jaunita Harris (playing a too bad piano) Ruby Pickens, Iona Johnston, Marjorie Cartarius, Enid Hansen, Muriel Gadsden, Andre Flourey and loads of others. In one corner sat the "Gays", "Ves", "Vel", "Peggy" & "Hortie" chirping about the regents (how interesting!) they had just taken. Around the piano with "Nita playing and the rest of us yelling (singing) were Lila, Mary, Frances, Rac, Iona and I. "Gays", "Ves", sportie" chirping interesting!) around the piano the rest of us Lila, Mary. It was a swell gathering and I had my share of fun, watching the poor females who will make up the dance chorus, trying to become Chester Hale girls. Yes and How! Another popular group of girls held their second anniversary dance last Friday nite at the Rose Ballroom in Brooklyn. We are referring to the Tangerine Society club whose officers and members are: Pearl Whiting, president; Charlotte Cooper, vice-president; Gertrude Sands, treasurer; Muriel Blanks, secretary. Also Ruth Anderson, J. Blackshire, Pearl Herbert, Doris Hill, Beatrice Jackson, M. Palmetier, Ruth Walton and Agnes Robinson. Harlem and Brooklyn were well represented. Pretty girls dressed to kill, good-looking fellows, swell music and a good floor all helped to make this affair a tremendous success. Saturday nite. the two lovely sisters, Elsie and Iris Wilson were hostesses to the members of the "Gay Defenders". Dancing was the entertainment feature. Those present were: Mary Coleman, Margaret and Evelyn Burrill, Hortense Coleman, Portia Jacobs, Irma Doar, Vesta Atkinson and Jean Simon. From Iris' all of us, Mary, Margaret Evelyn, Hortense, Iris, Elsie, Portia Velma, Vesta and I taxied to the Y. W. for the first rehearsal of "Billekins". Imagine the ten of us in one cab, but that wasn't all, for Mary had a good sized suit-case with her. I'm still wondering how she got it in and where she put it. But it was all funny and rather exciting watching that meter rise. I mean it surely did rise! At the "Y" were: Lila Jeffers, Ruby Pickens. Pearl Whiting, Sylvia Birdsong Whiting, Marion Montero Johnston, Iona Johnston, Rowena and Melba Wells, Catherine Johnson, Mildred Taylor, Arline Burrill, Andre Flourey, Anna Taylor, Frances Seaton, Enid Hansen, Rae Hairston, Muriel Gadsden, my Gadsden; my Page Six * * * Meet I O L A V I O L E T WILLIS, who occasionally sends us the happenings from New Haven. gang, and others. Chester Hale girls, the second, are coming along fine. It was with a feeling of deep regret and sorrow that we learned of the death of Miss Maritcha R. Lyons, former Assistant Principal of Public School 83, Brooklyn. Miss Lyons was so sweet, we all loved her so much and it makes me dreadfully sad to think that she has left us. She's gone, but our memories of her will live a long, long time. ```markdown ``` Everyone is talking yet about the great Jules Bledsoe's recital. How I wish I could have been there, too. Here's something else very interesting. The "Gays" and others who like to recite and act should tatke notice of the newly-formed Negro Experimental Theatre.

Bordentown Industrial School defeated the Titans of Orange at Titan Hall. Score first half 15-14 favor Bordentown. Final score 42-41, favor Bordentown. Russell, of Bordentown was the individual star for his team. His shooting of goals from all angles of the court was sensational.

DARLING MACK'S STUDIOS 150 WEST 136th STREET, NEW YORK CITY Telephone Bradhurst 6459 Page Eight At The Lafayette The Lafayette Theatre scores another great triumph this week with the Vitaphone Talking Photo Plays and the spectacular comedy entertainers, "Butter-beans" and Susie with their musical comedy revue. "State Street Sadle", the latest all talkie film production, is a thrilling story o funderworld life. The characters are taken from life and their talking makes this screen play one of the most remarkable pictures to ever be shown. In "State Street Sadie", Myrna Loy enacts the character of Isobel, the daughter of a policeman who has been shot down by a band of desperadoes. She determines to find the slayer, as does also Ralph Blake who has just returned from a trip to South America to find that his derelict twin brother is a suicide. These two work together and go through some of the most harrowing and thrilling experiences before running the murderers to earth. Butterbeans and Susie's new revue is the fastest and funniest in which this famous pair have yet appeared and its presentation at the Lafayette Theatre this week gives that popular Seventh Avenue Theatre the greatest program that can be found in any theatre in the city. A cast of forty popular entertainers, a fast-stepping chorus and a red hot jazz band help Butterbeans and Susie make their revue a splendid entertainment. * * * At The Alhambra The Alhambra Theatre's aggressive policy is drawing excellent houses at the old Seventh Avenue and 126th Street house. The dramas, sandwiched in between the musical comedies following the photo plays are proving powerful magnets that the Harlem theatre public cannot resist. "The Wayward Son", the sketch for this week, is one of those heart touch- ing plays that is apt to bring tears to the most hardened. The Alhambra Players, George Randol, Susie Sutton, Edna Harris, Barry Carter, Al Watts and Edna Young, play their respective roles exceedingly well. "Sweethearts On Parade" is the title of the musical comedy melange in which the fast stepping chorines, sixteen in number are seen to advantage. The comedy is cleverly handled by Billy Higgins, Johnny Lee Long, Amanda Randolph, Dewey Markham aided by several of the chorus malds. At The Lincoln This week, the Lincoln Theatre is offering a musical comedy revue entitled, "Nonsense of 1929". The cast includes among others, Blutch Malau, Baby Grice, J. W. Fox, Hattle Noel, "Happy" Coles, the clever team of Gant and Perkins and Arthur Allen with a nifty stepping chorus aggregation. The dramatic sketch sandwiched in between the musical comedy, is called, "A Madman's Revenge", featuring Andrew Bishop with a supporting cast including Alonzo Jackson, Jessie Robinson, Charles Johnson, Hilda Perlino. Gant and Perkins are a riot of comedy. This great team has never failed to triumph when they come to the big city and they are always sure of a royal welcome. Death Claims Mrs. Burtt The death of little Mrs. Elizabeth Burtt at her home, 2231 Grand Concourse, last Wednesday night, just a little before twelve, came as a terrible shock to her many friends. Ill just a few hours over four days, the rapidity with which the deadly winter disease snuffed out her life despite the heroic efforts o five physicians, was and is terrifying. Saturday evening she was in the best of spirits, apparently enjoying excellent health and then the blow, like lightening from a clear sky, she was stricken Sunday by an attack of pneumonia that was to prove fatal. of pneumonia that was to prove fatal. Mrs. Burtt was of Canadian birth, her home being Montreal, Canada, where she was born some twenty-five years ago. She became identified with the stage and appeared with Joe Sheftel's musical comedy revues. Then later she became a member of "Put And Take" and one or two vehicles the names of which we have forgotten. But the stage did not have that irresistable appeal for her it has had and will have for so many other girls. The life palled on her and she decided to give it up. About seven years ago she and Bernard Burtt were married after a brief courtship and few couples lived happier or were more devoted to each other than during the seven years of their conubial life than Mr. and Mrs. Burtt. They had a lovely home, numerous pets and a host of friends in and out of the profession. The funeral took place last Saturday morning in a Catholic Church just a stone's throw from where the couple lived. It was one of the largest and the floral offerings gave mute testimony of the high esteem the many friends of the little girl held for her. She was interred at Mount Hope Cemetery, New York. * * * Alvin E. White of the Associated Negro Press was the guest speaker on the Negro Achievement Hour last Friday over WABC. Mr. White read a comprehensive paper on the history and activities of the Association. On the musical program were Carroll M. Boyd, pianist; Orlando H. Roberson, tenor, formerly of the Apex Club in Chicago and Francis Kairson, baritone, pupil of Harry Williams. The Geraldyn Dismond Review of Events offered an announcement of the coming Negro History Week, the $500.000 conditional endowment of Talledega College, the desirability of the Westminster Apartments, the awards of the Women's Auxiliary of the Citizens' Welfare Council of Harlem, the features for future Hours, and the possibility of a direct hookup with WNAC of Boston, the Harry Belmore recital, the Fox Club's Dance, the New World Dance Recital, a character sketch of James Thomas Carter, by the courtesy of the Lincoln Secretarial School, and a story of Idle Wyle, Harlem's latest luncheonette retreat. Next Friday the Negro Achievement Hour will present the New York Colored Glee Club in a program especially arranged by Prof. F. Eugene Mikell and on the following Friday, the 15th, Alice Dunbar Nelson, executive secretary of the American Interracial Peace Committee, will be the great speaker and the musical program will be under the auspices of the Clef Club. 126th Street and Seventh Avenue ALHAMBRA NOW PLAYING THIS WEEK A WAYWARD SON SEE YOUR FAVORITE ACTORS in a Heart-Throb Drama of a Boy who Finds his Way Back Home “SWEETHEARTS ON PARADE” With All the Girls and the Comedy Crew BESIDES PICTURES Triple Program 25c, 35c, 50c — Midnight Show Wednesdays — Next Week's Drama: The House of Shame Next Week's Revue: “PITTER PATTER” Feature Photoplay: Lon Chaney in “Shadows” TO RENT Two Rooms, one extra large, in theatrical neighborhood.

Last week I heaved a rock in the general direction of Mr. Salem T. Whitney's noble konk. Now I find myself rushing to defend him from the charge of an indignant correspondent. Readers will doubtless recall a letter from Theda Williams which appeared opposite this column in last week's Tattler. "What is there to gain," Miss Williams asks, "in telling white people that pimps, pickpockets, prostitutes and degenerates of all sorts exist among Negroes?" The answer is, there is nothing to gain. Neither is there anything to lose, for white people already know that there is no dearth of criminals among us. Miss Williams continues, "The same thing is true of every other group, but do their playwrights advertise it? No!" I insist, Yes! Any colored man with a quarter can go to the nearest movie theatre and see the corruption of Caucasian society portrayed with all the artistry white actors possess. "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," which gets my vote as the world's best motion picture, is the story of an unrepentant and successful gold-digger. "The Wedding March" shows the degeneracy of the European nobility while "The Docks of New York" is a riot of the animalism of low caste Americans. In "The Dragnet" the hero with the heart of gold is won by a woman who has been the mistress of a crook and "The Woman Disputed" shows a yes-woman being glorified by a whole nation. Stepping up from the movies to the drama we see vice and degeneracy portrayed even more vividly than they are in the movies. The theme of "The Silver Cord" is the sublimated sexual love of a mother for her sons, the "Trial of Mary Dugan" is the ordeal and justification of a kept woman, "Broadway" is a tale of bootleggers' wars, "Chicago" plays up the contemporary craze for cheap notoriety in the limelight, "The Captive" unfolds the love of one lady for another, "Diamond Lil" gives us the inside dope on a harlot's house and "The Pleasure Man" is the story of one of those people. I know it is absurd to compare the efforts of our 8-ball show builders with the finished work of competent white playwrights, but since I've stooped to bathos I might as well descend to sacrilege and drag in the classics. The meat of "Macbeth" is the bloody conscience of a man and his wife who murdered their king while he was a guest in their house and asleep. "Tartuffe" is the portrait of a hypocrite, an aura of incest hovers about "Ghosts" and pervades "The Cenci," and Dr. Freud intimates that the protagonist of "Hamlet" was in love with his mother and jealous of his uncle who won her. "Oedipus Rex," perhaps the most poignant tragedy of all time, relates the woes of a man who killed his father and married his mother and begot children by her. Of such stuff white dramatists have woven their plays since the dawn of drama. In building up her case Miss Williams puts me on the stand as a witness against Mr. Whitney. She says, "I believe that Mr. Theophilus Lewis, your theatrical reviewer, once said the theatre is to serve two purposes. The first is to show the advancement of a people and the second is to reflect their defects." I don't think I ever said that. If I did say it I wasn't sober at the time. The function of the theatre, first, last and all the time, is to furnish entertainment. On rare occasions its entertainment may rise to the height of exaltation. But exaltation is nothing more nor less han a blend of piognancy and ecstasy. One feels exalted when reading the Ode to A Grecian Urn, looking at a portrait by Reynolds or when listening to Schubert's "Serenade." None of these specimens of sensuous beauty shows the advancement of anything. Neither does a play like "Othello" or "The Way of the World." "Deep Harlem was and is alright for Harlem and Negro audiences," argues Miss Williams, "but not for white people." Please, Miss Williams, don't put that out. If it is alright for me to see plays like "The Werewolf" why isn't it alright for white folks to see plays like "Lulu Belle"? Or shows like "Deep Harlem"? No, Mr. Whitney is not a Judas to his race because he presented various types of vicious and abnormal Negroes in "Deep Harlem." What we ought to hang him for is making a botch of the show.

Miss Woodson has been with the Edwin Small's night-club enterprizes for a good many years. In point of service she and the popular "Dixie" Bonds are close rivals. Both have been with the ever smiling genial promoter of amusements for so long that when we think of one we think of all three of them.

Berry, who is with the Harmony Kings in London, and the other from Ernest Hemby, tenor, who is studying in Milan: My dear Friend: Many thanks to you and your staff on the promptness of sending the Tattler each and every week. It is indeed with pleasure that I enclose the subscription fee. I enjoy immensely your special society columns and read them over time and again, out of which I get a kick, and sometimes the information or the whereabouts of some of my friends there in New York. Well, the recent holiday activities are now ended and every one in the profession who has been favored with a contract is again back of the foot-legits doing his or her turn. The holiday season over here was indeed a merry one to many, while to others rather a sad one. This last statement applies to me. Unfortunately just before Christmas, December 11th to be exact, my father passed away in Kansas City. It was indeed a blow to me. However, we made the best of things. One of the smartest pre-holiday dinner parties was staged at the beautiful Criterion Restaurant in Piccadilly Circus on December 2nd by George H. Dosher of the Harmony Kings and Jimmy Ferguson of the Virginia. Promptly at 10:30 P. M., the guests were seated while the orchestra peeled forth soft, enchanting music. A seven course dinner was served ala Francaise and champagne flowed like water. Among the guests were Lee Gladson who was a popular member of Show Boat, and an honored guest, Miss Mann from Paris, Hazel Sheppard, Lois Parwer, Hilda Rogers, Rosalind Jackson, the Ivan H. Brownings, E. Greenlee, T. Drayton, John Payne, Whitaker and W. H. Berry. And as the noted poet of color says, "Dar wasn't no use of talkin'; we jus' had one scrumptious time"! Kindly remember me through your columns to all my friends in and out of the profession. Page Nine May I close with, "The message that I send you, in simple words and few-- May all success attend you in every thing you do." Sincerely, W. H. BERRY, Four Harmony Kings. 2 Via Parini, Milano. Dear Mrs. Dismond: After the many occasions of the Thanksgiving and Christmas sessions, you are, perhaps, assorting your many good wishes from friends, reflecting happily upon your work of the past year or sketching mentally your plans for the yet infant Anno. Many thanks for the kind thoughts in your weekly and over the air. I am now in the land of Spaghetti and Il Duce. Through the kindness of another struggling student here, the Tattler has kept me informed weekly for I just received my first mail from the States this week. I could not have seen more of the game and dear old Alma Mater if I had been there in person. As you know, one must imbibe freely during feast days and I am not at all fanatical against certain ales. I have started in for serious work and will be here in Milano for some time. There are two other struggling students of Color here and between the three we speak Italian well. Miss Yarborough is setting for a distinguished painter here and I am trying to get her to send some news to you. However, I hope very soon to get her to at least send a picture. With so many friends planning to come over this summer, there is no cause for any of us to be lonesome during the few more months of winter. I hope to see you in passing, for after all Europe and the world is very small. Had a very pleasant stay in Paris with Countee and Yolande Cullen. Best wishes for the New Year. Sincerely. Another struggling student in Europe ERNEST HEMBY.

(Maybe.) * * * Last summer the patrons of Small's Paradise couldn't park their automobiles anywhere near 135th Street because of the monopoly of space by the musician's buses.

A tusk hog is a bad animal, usually an animal from whence comes bacon, chitterlings, pork chops, and all the other sweet meats so dear to a number of us, bearing sharp tusks that he uses in defence or offence.

She had come to the Big City to sow her wilder oats. I say wilder because she was not a virgin and no Harlem sheik would ever boast of having given her her first drink. She soon became the darling of those men fast approaching middle age who must leave no stone unturned to prove to their wives and the world at large that they are still active and desirable. No wild party was a success without her. No office that pulled down its shades and served Gordon water was quite the thing unless she was numbered among those present. At every wild party, she was the wildest. She could be seen doing her stuff in every Harlem speakeasy. She became notorious over night. Her zenith was reached when an aristocratic Nordic lady, about to be come a mother, had her shadowed as a suspect in an alienation suit. Her decline began when the au faits effected a reconciliation and she missed the bucks she had hoped to make out of testifying in favor of the highest bidder. But the complete fall came when, after transferring her affections to a producer of color, she made her debut on Broadway and was a complete washout. And now her brand of entertainment is without demand. There's a moral in this; "Never let your hips get stiff."

They are Mable Nichols; Carmen Lopez; Violet Fisher; Eva Bradley Dorothy Turner; Peggy Sheppard; Estella Finley; Ollie Schoonmaker. THE MUSEUM but the success of the revue depends upon them. They are from the theatres and all have had some training. Leonard Harper, Harlem's greatest revue producer, is in charge of the dancers and he put on from four to six shows yearly. That is an indication of how much extra work the girls do. In the current revue, the chorus has five numbers. The high spots being reached in the "Aeroplane" number, the "Chinese" number and the "Wawa" number, an imitation of the famous Johnny Hudgins of "Blackbirds" fame. More of these young ladies will be told from time to time. From Small's to the "Club Harlem" over on Lenox Avenue isn't much of a jump. And you must see "Club Harlem." Here is the famous African room which caused so much talk. Like Small's, "Club Hatlem" has its chorus of stepping beauties who live up to the modern cry for speed and pep. And if there is anything they have more than speed and pep, it is some more speed and pep. Here is a Harlem night club with a Breadway atmosphere. The girls who set the dizzy pace over at the Club Harlem are Hazel Miles; Peggy Morris; Aurelia Hallback; Helen Powell; Virginia Wheeler and Lindy Garrett. You may know some of them. Friinstance, remember way back when there was the famous marathon dance at Manhattan Casino? Well, Aurelia Hallback was in it and if memory serves me no dirty tricks, she was the charming bride—was that a sensation? You remember the truck ride dance to the Municipal Building? And the jazz wedding march? Ho, hum! Then there is Lindy Garrett, a hard worker who was graduated from the ranks of the Lafayette chorus, worked a while at Small's and then went over to Martin's Inn," where the old "Capitol Palace" used to be. She is a good dancer and a popular member of the cast over at "Club Harlem." The whole bunch is keyed up to a red hot pitch and they set the pace for the rest of the show.

Unless you visit this place you haven't touched Harlem. Connie's has its own peppy, snappy chorines who are a treat for the tired business man's weary eyes. They will be talked about too. 山 The "Cotton Club" has its own particular group and furnishes some great entertainment.

What a name! It is an indication of what the club's. Sweet no end. And girl ju t like that.

Been reading the current stories on Page Eleven BAMBOO INN Mistah Texas Rickard? Well, "Barron's" is mentioned more than once in connection with the promotion of the memorable fight between Johnson and Jeffries. What a comparison—chorus girls and Jack Johnson. Form meant everything to both of them, and when the old form was gone—you know of the rest. Jack may have dropped some of his style and grace, but the ladies of the chorus at "Barron's" maintain theirs. Going through their numbers, they look the part of the perfectly trained dancers they are. We'll come to them later. * * * Hitting on the major night clubs, we may have mised some of the smaller ones, but I promise you, I'll unearth some hot entertainment around here, mising none and telling you who furnishes the peep.

In plain language he’s taking 4 gamble, and figures to put out plenty before “Little Suggs” arrives at station easy living. With a song in his heart and a cherry word for everyone, Frank Brandt, who never has posed as a millionaire, goes about this task of taking it on the ‘Nut’ as they say in select sport circles for a few centuries until ‘Smitty’ has learnt all Beckie has to tell him. Willy Makel, Don Petrone, Harvey, the old Frawley Law terror who held his own with Bert Keyes, Duffy, Leach Cross, and other hard fisted gentry, tell about the same story on Frank Brandt—a friend of the boxer who is on the level at all times, and who knows neither pedigree, creed, or color. For the well known sportsman and politician, we sin- cerely hope he'll get a break with clever Al Smith. Al Brown. Disciple O° Sock AX BROWN, towering American bantamweight, who was recently crowned World's Champion by the National Boxing Association, created quite a sensation in Paris last week, according to A. P. dis- patches. Fighting against Timer Humery, at one time Featherweight King of all France, Al swung that devastating right hook of his to Humery’s chin and it was all over in five seconds. The fight took place in the spacious Crique De Paris. where Joe Jeanette and Sam McVea close to two decades ago, went 30 savage rounds to a draw,—their memorable 49 round finish fight took place at the Buffalo Coliseum of Paris. What a sight this six foot Panamanian who now makes his home in the U. S. A. must have provided the volitile Frenchman with their beautiful companions as he put tue ‘Coup De Grace’ to a former cham- pion. Always a showman of a high order, Brown must have carried the packed house with his charming manners, perpetual smile, ... and that lethal wallop he carries in either hand. It has been claimed by a number of friendly commentators that Brown dissiaptes. Well what of it? Show mea real honest to goodness red-blooded man that doesn't. What Al Brown realiy does is to leave fair weather friends, bright lights, primrose paths, and what not,—high and dry after he has signed a contract to go in there and fight. Never once has he failed to keep faith with the public that makes possible the huge purses first class boxers receive today. He enters the twenty-four foot roped en- closure trained as faithfully as human hands can make one, and re- gardless who his opponent is, there’s no stalling when Al Brown's is in the opposite corner. He ought to become as popular with the French. boulavardies as was the late lamented Sam McVez of Oxnard, Califor- nia. ‘ fe, > ae Bare Se “oe cay ey nn es i Pa a By ee Frank Brandt s the pertinent query that anyor tential champion,—so why the Bla! 3e? } Wiggins the Winner!

Owing to a fleod of betting money which Bruin backers are said to have sent out between halves when the Renais- sanee team owas leading. the defeat left a bad taste in the mouths of the fans who were jimcrowed in the pavil- ion of George Halas, the Bruin boss. As a consequence, the Harlem players ran onto the Savoy floor hnrsday night in the midst of mingled cheers and boos. THe strain of their tough schedule seemed to tell on them and the prediction was freely made that if they played no better against the Savoys than they did ‘against the Bruins, their cake was alt dough. The first half started off with a rush, Savoy scoring first, to be quick- ly followed with one slung in by Pappy Ricks. ¥rom the first few seconds of play down to the end of the first half the lead alternated from one team 0 another, the half coming to a close with Savoy out in front, 17 to 16. Watson, Savoy forward, and star of the game, had made cight of those voints with field goals. Two minutes efore the half was over, he wag in- jured and had to be taken out of he game. The loss of their star seemed to dishearten the Savoy men. Renaissance had started out with ‘ats Jenkins on the sidelines, but he was inserted for the second half. Savoy ran its lead up to 33 to 25 with nine minutes to play in the second half. Then Eyre Saitch broke loose, scoring three baskets in rapid succession to be followed with another by Ricks, then one by Saunders, the center. From that time on, it was a matter of keeping the bali from the Savoy tossers so the second ticked away. Anderson, Savoy guard, stole in for another ringer, running the Savoy score up to 35, and Ricks with another field goal and Saitch with one from the free throw line sewed the game up. Last Sunday night in a bangup game against the Hudson Leaguers, the “Rens” won by a smore of 47-37 freezing the ball in the last three min- utes of play.

He sang a program covering a wide range. The beginning was a group of Gluck, Scarlatti, and Purcell of the ancients. These were followed by two groups of Lieder and one of English songs, and ending with the Negro Spirituals. Mr. Garner is truly a lover of his art. The great welcome which he received upon his first appearance on the spacious stage was fit for a king.

This touching spectacle is the one made by the former members of the Freshman Class who came and saw but did not conquer Prof. Wright's Math or Prof Boothby's English. It is quite a let down I must say to have entered here in September full of youthful vigor and vim and ambition to make collegiate history and then have to ignominiously leave. But those "fives" and you must go, so the harp like the Arabs fold their tents and silently sneak away.

It is quite tered here in September full of y to make collegiate history and the those "fives" and you must go, so tents and silently sneak away. * * * Every cloud has a silver lining however and this time of year, when you can't get out in the open very much is just made for loafing. Exams are over, cuts are newed, things are back to normal. So what can be better than bull sessions, week end trips, basketball games and the whole round of college pleasures? * * * Speaking of things being back to normal calls to mind the fact that Joe Meaddoughs and Kirk Jackson are sleeping all morning; Frank Mitchell and Lang Hughes, along with Paul Boswell woof all night on any conceivable subject; "Chi" Steel, when he can get time from his pinochle attends a few classes; "Artie" Thomas is back worrying the Freshmen about their rules and everyone else is doing his best to do nothing. All is serene along the Baltimore Pike. * * * The "Bawhston" boys have organized themselves into a clique whose main object is to propound the philosophies found in the intricacies of Rid Whist. From what I can understand the masters in this game are "Jit" Taylor and "Droop" Charleston. The pace is very swift from what I hear but the games are very exclusive too. If you "cawnt" broaden your A's and roll your "R's" you simply "cawnt" play "cahds". * * * It is awful the way our basketers have been knocking over our opponents from "down home". In three starts, all C. I. A. A. games Lincoln has chalked up three wins. Not a bad percentage, huh? In the last set-to, with Union, the boys did not start off so hot, being nervous, and passed up many chances to score but thyce ended in a whirl wind. The score—28-14. "Mack" Weatherless, Query, Capt. Dick Whitington, Hawkins and Sydner all turned in sterling games. Do Costa who substituted for Hawkins also was too bad. In all it was a lovely game from a Lincoln man's point of view. The boys leave this week for the Southern trip, so get scared everybody. * * * It has come to my knowledge from somewhere that John Taylor, "the pride of Kentucky" is not only a power with the ladies in Baltimore and Philly but at home too. I understand that he has to hire special guards, down in the Blue Grass State, just to keep himself from being mobbed by enraptured females. There's a reason too, because Johnnie has an infectious smile, beautiful teeth, etc., in fact Ramon Navarro would fare hard were Johnnie around. * * * Where, oh, where, do some men get their fatal ways with women? Here I've been all week without a single Lincoln UNIVERSITY 8 "MAC" WEATHERLESS, sensational ball handler of Pennsy quintet who will lead his Lincolnites against the crack Howard five February 12th. letter and Kirk Johnson gets two from the same place in one day. I wish I had been born handsome instead of lucky. *** Liars may come and liars may go but like Tennyson's immortal brook "Puss" Percival will go on forever. To be so young "Puss" must have had a world of experience because he can tell some of the most outlandish tales and with all the innocence of an angel. He has a wonderful imagination and Rider Haggard never had any more fantastic flights of fancy. * * * Several members of the World Club for 1929 have returned to the fold. "Hubie Jackson, Hightower and "Bernie" Hughes to be exact. None seem to be any worse off from their enforced vacation out in the world and are here raising as much fuss as they did before. * * * The Glee Club is now in active preparation for a trip to somewhere or other for Director Jimmy Dorsey is rehearsing them two or three times a week.

However, it would surprise some to see and to know the various and sundry means we have for staying up until after the last whistle has blown for hours. Just the other night what bids well to become a popular and lucrative pastime, was inaugurated by our Don Boyd, and John Watkins.. Boyd was to eat twelve sugared steaks (big doughnuts), sans water, sans milk, sans moving.. He tried and failed when he could no longer swallow, at $10\frac{1}{2}$. The next night, Edward "Pig" Morales, ate fifteen for the boys. To the utmost enjoyment of his believers, and the seventy odd "sweats" who had piled in a room 20 ft. sq. to witness the unrivalled king of the table, and has set up a mark to be shot at, by other acknowledged eaters as 'Bill', 'Unk', 'Red', 'Rocky', and 'Muddy'. But that is not the worst, it seems that the dozen and quarter doughnuts only served to augment a bitter appetite so he promptly marched to he "College Inn", where he finished his supper with steak, beans, potatoes, coffee, pie and ice-cream. What say you Caesar! A club of jesters has been formed and all the supreme wits of the kingdom are to be members. The Comedy Club can boast of no bigger wits than Percy Terrel, "Terri" Sinclaire, "Red" Williamson, Blyden Jackson, if I have heard aright, Albert "Tae" Sykes, is the Supreme Wit. Their first play will come off soon. Have you heard of "Swill's" case, the "Lost Bag"? Before the Justice of Peace, "Swill", our ever elusive and progressive "handy man", was dealt a sever blow last week by L. Ponder. After "Swill", pleading his own case ended oratorically thusly: "If he just must have some money from me, he will have to stop calling me "Swill" and call me "Papa". Never-the-less, for the "ruined bag", "Swill" must pay a sum of money by the 70th. Can Ponder, or will Ponder get it? We believe "Swill" will take it to higher courts. This will especially surprise Lincoln men and perhaps kill "Chick" Allen there, to say nothing of Don Johnson, and Mark Parks. Eight people here hit the ice on a 15 ft. sliding pond 2 ft. wide and have cut up heads, peeled eye-brows, twisted noses, to say nothing of a heterogenous mass of tender pelvic girdles. In two days it was necessary to put cinders on it to preserve the physiological entity of the Freshmen Southern populace. Too bad! But it's never safe to trust a baby with a loaded pistol. You never can tell what he will do. Professor and Mrs. Joseph C. Carroll take this opportunity to express to the General Faculty, the student body and community, their many, many thanks, and deep appreciation for the heartfelt sympathy, loyal and efficient service, so lavishly and freely given, during the brief illness and after the death of their late lamented little daughter, Marjorie Ethel Carroll. While they have suffered an infinite loss, while a place in their hearts, and around their fireside is vacant, that never can be filled, yet by your words of sympathy, and by your deeds of service, you have helped to make the burden just a little lighter, and given them a little strength with which to endure. In God's name we thank you. Allena has her "privs." back. We know a grinning male. Basketball Classic PRELIMINARY GAME 135th ST. Y. M. D. VS. CARLTON AVE. Y. M. D.

Well we, at Wilberforce are still asking "Didn't it Snow?" and the "sweats" are answering "yes, and how," for we've had one honest to goodness snow. And the skating rink--rather the frozen pond, became the mecca, providing a most reasonable excuse for the wearing of fuzzy and wooly reds, blues and yellows, by our charming co-eds. Outstanding among the sketers were two girls (?) who wore their costumes of white toboggans, white sweaters, and dark skirts, as if their slender sylph-like figures had been poured and molded into them. Next in importance to the colorful scene, was the evident enjoyment of "those", as President Jones so aptly stated it, "from the Tropical regions". Such a flurry of excitement, on their parts, and such futile, and amusing attempts to skate, that the "boom, booms" were constant, but they minded them not. We understand that Zeke broke up the sliding pond first. Goloshes, goloshes, flip flap, flop, all shades, sizes and shapes, but all obeying the will of their wearers, flapping. A regular Hallelujah is sung in the halls and on the campus, by these indispensable articles of apparel. Indispensable, because they keep ones legs from freezing, and because one doesn't have to be but just so careful, about the appearance of one's shoes--You know how 'tis. Howard University In the Freshman Lecture Series, last week at Howard University, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, spoke on the subject of Citizenship. He urged students to bear in mind the responsibilities as well as the privileges of citizenship, and those responsibilities, in particular that have to do with the common problems of everyday life. Lincoln's Birthday TUESDAY Feb. 12, 1929 * * * THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Myles A. Paige, of the Law firm of Dyett, Hall, Patterson, and Paige, of New York City, has just been appointed to succeed C. A. French, as assistant Attorney General and C. C. Wimbish, of the Firm of Temple, Brown, Godloe, and Wimbishs, was appointed last week as Assistant States Attorney at Chicago. They are both Howard men. --- A crowd of 400 students and faculty was entertained for an hour on January 31, when in the University Natatorium Miss Harriet K. Purdy and Mr. Henry L. Walker swam, frolicked, and performed many equatic stunts. Miss Purdy is a native of Hawaii and is an accomplished swimmer. At eight years of age she began swimming in her native waters and through the years has developed her /swimming into a graceful art. Miss Purdy is at best as a high diver, having given exhibitions in Atlantic City. Mr. Walker is swimming instructor in the Washington Y. M. C. A. The most interesting of his feats were swimming with both hands and feet tied and imitations of the shark and seal lion. The occasion was arranged by Mr. Clarence Pendleton, swimming instructor in the Department of Physical Educataion. On Friday evening, February 8. at seven-thirty, the Howard Varsity Swimming Team will compete with the Neptune Swimming Club of Baltimore in the Howard University Natatorium. * * * Howard celebrated resumption of Athletic relations with Virginia Union. Wednesday night, with a basketball victory of 40-24. The game was played in the Howard Gymnasium at Washington. TRACK NOTES By BENNIE BLANCHARD Feb. 2nd arrived and then left. The P. S. A. L. Championships are over. I made a prediction that went wrong. I cannot quite explain the situation or the sudden reversal of form of the boys. However they are ran good races. Buster Lockhart lost the opportunity of a life time to establish himself in the athletic world, but lost by inexperience. Running Ira Singer, neck and neck for 80 yards; he turned his head and thereby allowed Ruby Cohen to slip by. You will remember Lockhart and Cohen ran one of the hair finish races not long ago. Lockhart finished third in the 100 yd. dash. Buster Peterson placed fourth behind three of the fastest furlong men in the city. First class opinion states he could have done better had he not overlooked opportunities. Merril Campbell, Liscombe and Brown all gave good account of themselves. Teddy Brown of Clinton gave a fine example of nerve when he ran two heats. Running in the first heat with Singer he was shut out. Not to be outdone however, he promptly entered the last heat to qualify. Here's hoping they do better later in the season. * * * On January 31st, the St. Jude girls were defeated in a flashy and interesting game at P. S. 136. by the N. X. Defenders by the score of 15-4. On Feb. 2nd Saturday Eve, at S. Philip's Gym the Omyx were no match for their strong opponents. The Defenders played a whirlwind game and when the smoke cleared away the score was plainly seen as 59-5.
