It has had no reason to shrink from publicity. The family life of the Moores has been governed by austere domestic ideals which have buttressed the public probity of the head of the house. In its adherence to those ideals, in its almost patriarchal discipline and in the strength of character evinced by all its members the family has established itself as the first family of Harlem. It is gratifying to see this sturdy Negro family honored by local and National leaders of both races. It is still more gratifying to know that this family is a conspicuous exemplar of the domestic virtues practiced by an overwhelming majority of the humbler families of the community. When Harlem felicitates Alderman and Mrs. Moore on their golden anniversary it pays a tribute to the best of its own ideals.

Moore, whose youthful faces and happy manners made us doubt if they had been correct in counting their years of matrimonial bliss. The Committee of arrangements consisted of Rev. J. W. Brown, Mr. John D. Saunders, Mrs. Ruth Roberts, Mr. M. V. Bouttee, Mr. Lester Walton and Mr. Watt Terry. It is indeed rare that one may follow a speaker's list without having to check a number of absentees. Only Col. William Hayward (and he, an old soldier) and Dr. Katherine Davis, had gone A. W. O. L.

Taylor, Commander. 369th Regiment. There was something that rang very true in the words of the genial Mayor. He stated that he had admired the sterling qualities of Alderman Moore so much that it took him a year to discover whether he was a Republican or Democrat for he showed that in spite of any political affiliation, there was a genuine personal respect and affection for Aldermen. He brought forth a big laugh when he requested that Mr. Moore explain to him why on earth he selected so martial a place as an armory for his fiftieth wedding celebration, as well as when he stated that the size of Alderman Moore's family made him feel that he was at an Irish celebration. The numbers for artistic entertainment were furnished by Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murry, who sang "Thank God for You"; Mr. C. Luckeyth Roberts and Miss Frankye Dixon, who played; Lieut. Noble Sissle, who, with consummate grace and skill, portrayed "Joan of Arc" and "The Big Parade" and William "Bojangles" Robinson who danced and skated straight up to Mayor Walker's table. Monarch 45 Band (Lieut. Fred W. Simpson), filled the hall with strains of sweet music. Rev. A. C. Garner. Rev. J. W. Brown and Rev. Shelton H. Bishop reperformed the marriage ceremony and other ceremonial parts. The unprecedented evening of pleasure ended with the presentation to Alderman and Mrs. Moore, presided over by very efficient Mr. Watt Terry and responded to by Mr. Moore. These presentations consisted of: $1.000 in gold from the General Citizens' Committee. Several hundred dollars in gold given by some Latin-American friends, with Mr. L. S.

Her spirituals brought repeated encores, and "Way up in Haven" with Hall Johnson, composer, at the piano so thrilled the audience that Miss Trotman was brought back with many curtain calls before her audience could be satisfied.

Blanche K. Thomas. President, presented a program of their graduates and undergraduates Sunday afternoon. April 14th, at Grace Congregational Church, Reverend A. C. Garner, Pastor. Too much praise cannot be given this group of artists, members of the Sigma Alpha Mu who have formed this Chapter to promote and encourage our artists. From time to time they intend to present our artists in various recitals and to promote and perfect artistry along all lines. The public is requested to cooperate and help this Chapter in its undertakings. Mrs. Sadie Kincaid sailed on the S. S. Paris to join her husband, Nelson Y. Kincaid, who has his band at one of the fashionable night clubs in Paris. A farewell party was given her aboard the Paris that just wouldn't quit. The beverages flowed like water and her pal, Hilda Thompson, saw to it that the "grounding" of the Paris for 30 hours meant nothing in Sadie's life. Since they were within the twelve-mile limit, Sadie had the laugh on the "unfortunates" not prepared for the mishap. Just like the Sadie. The beautiful Alice Nearon is recovering from an operation. All Harlem sends its best regards. * * * * * * Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, one of the most popular organizations in Greater New York, entertained with its formal Spring Prom, Wednesday evening, at the Renaissance. It was what we expected of the Sigma Host—smart, exclusive and gay. This year, each lady was presented with a box of delicious chocolates and her dance program was a dark blue fan on which the Sigma pin was done in gold. During the intermission, the parade of the frat men was the feature and the president, C. D. King, made a short and sweet welcoming address. Last but not least, the punch was righteous.

The Gene Holmes was almost in his sins, not quite. Just a bit in his spirits. Marle King just had to make it. Arthur Payne, or rather Doctor Payne seemed much more conservative! Leslie Coles was not without the entire family! Our lovely Julia Johnson looked quite charming in that red dress! Oh, yes, and Sammie Heil! Have you met Sammie? Talk about your gorgeous creatures! The Utopia Players, who were organized by Miss Gladys McDonald with the very able assistance of Professor Koch of New York University, plan to show the results of their many weeks of rehearsal by presenting for the approval of their friends the quite amusing play called The Whole Town's Talking, by Anita Loos and John Emerson. The Utopia Players have been meeting for their rehearsals every Sunday evening at the Utopia House. Any one wishing to join may write to Miss McDonald at the Utopia House, in care of Miss Pritchard. A simple test is given to each applicant. Miss McDonald feels that though the group is inexperienced and very small, all who come in seem to get the real worthwhileness and purpose of the group. The group is at present composed of Rosie Swain, Helen Dapogny, Gladys Fowlkes, Frances Jeffers, Mary Smith, Mildred Burch, Helen Tynes, Lenora Pritchard, Evangeline St. Clair, Joseph Jackson, Milton Weston, William Poe, Molton Pierriera, Willis A. Williams, Dr. William Frazier, etc. Excuse please. Elsie Burrows does not belong to Brooklyn, but I bet Brooklyn would like to have her.

Samus of the tonsils and pharynx (primary lesion) is secend in frequency to that of the reproduc- tive organs.

The primary sore usually remains only a short time, but when it occurs on the tonsils the inflammation may be so great as to extend the period of ulceration until the second stage of syphilis appears. The secondary lesions may appear six to eight weeks after the initial sore or even as late as several months. There may be a reddening of the face and throat. The lesions of the third stage may appear from three to twenty-five years after the primary sore and may re- sult in uleeration, gangrene, or sy- philitie tumors, and very destructive to both soft and bony tissues. The symptoms in the primary stage may be pain in the ear, deafness, or ringing in the ears. The glands of the neck are usually enlarged. In the secondary stage there may be cough or a tickling sensation in the throat. In some cases pain of a dull aching character is complained of, and there may -be difficult swallowing. There may be a slight elevation In tempera- ture, In the third stage of syphilis the order is characteristic and is known as syphilitic ozena (offensive nasal dis- charge). There is some pain present which is Increased upon swallowing. Constant sore throat, difficult swal- lowing and offensive nasal discharge should be regarded with suspicion. These symptoms should not be allowed to continue—consult your physician. \ Se a ee ea Get the habit of sleeping with wide-open -windows. ; it will shorten your nights and lengthen your days. | Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee, 202 West 136th Streot.

This grand finale brought together in two games the teams representing the four fraternities. The avowed determination of the Kappa Alpha Psi team to win from the unbeaten Alpha Phi Alpha availed not.

Hope Day was the first colored nursery in New York City. It is owned, managed and controlled by colored women. Its purpose is the sheltering of children of working mothers, regardless of race or creed. The funds for its maintenance are raised chiefly by its annual May entertainment. * * * And still the parties continue. Two fashionable girls clubs—The Girl Friends and Club 13—have announced their spring dances for April. The Girl Friends, a group of young girls chaperoned by Bessye J.

Rockefeller to assist in the development of this community, was the principal speaker. *** The North Harlem Community Council, James Middleton, chairman, has launched a campaign to secure a swimming pool for the children of Harlem. The site selected is at 134th Street, between Fifth and Lenox Avenues, next to the Public Bath House. \* \* \* The U. A. V.'s became quite domestic at their club meeting Monday night and learned how to make biscuits. Clara Nolsette, secretary, being the most proficient in that art, was the teacher. Having heard of no serious cases of indigestion, I presume that the lesson was quite successful. * * * Sixty children enjoyed the many thrills of Barnum and Bailey's circus on Monday morning. April 15. The tickets were given by the United Nighborhood Houses of which the Utopia House is a member. From the side shows and big ring events down to the peanut and pink lemonade, the children will regard the whole show as a red letter day in their lives. Page Seven Ten girls of Troop No. 153 hiked through the Palisades with Captain White on Thursday. Second class work consisted of fire building and cooking were the main features. * * * The 1928-29 basketball and track teams will enjoy a banquet on Friday evening, April 19th, at the Utopla House, 170 West 130th Street. An excellent program has been planned and a number of well known persons invited to make merry with the boys. Starting their basketball schedule with the opening of the house in November, a splendid record was made for their first season. Out of 19 games, 13 were won. The schedule consisted of some of the finest teams in the Boys' Athletic League. The fine spirit of sportsmanship and co-operation has already given Utopia boys a place in the basketball world. The 135 lb. team was captained by Earl McCruder, while the 115 lb. team worked under the command of James Parker who is also manager of the baseball team. Another season will find Utopia with a fully equipped team in each class. Members of the Track team who made Utopia place third in the track meet held at the 212th Armory, March 22nd, will be included.

X., on June 15th. * * * Fresh from a victory over the Blue Socks on Sunday, Utopia baseball team met and defeated P. S. 139 baseball team on Tuesday afternoon, April 9th, at McCoombs Dam Park. Captain Parker's Utopia team was in fine form and played a decidedly good game. P. S. 139 team held the lead until the last inning when Parker knocked a double which scored the winning lead.

Bennie BuTLer, At the Lafayette Glorious, spectacular entertain tainment is on tap at the Lafayette Theatre this week, with Noble Sissle, Moss and Frye, Margaret Simms, Montrose (Apus) Brooks, the outstanding stars of the ve hicle entitled “Mr, George.” This production is a rather pre- tentious affair for the Lafayette. With a little elaboration it would be an excellent Broadway offering. It is a story of two care-free abony brothers who stumble upon a lot of wealth in a peculiar way. The scenery and staging is rather odd, fantastic, the costumes pretty and the situations something out of the ordinary. While a bit handi- _ capped by poor orchestra work, the vehicle showed more than enough to justify the favorable criticisms. Sissle, just back from a Euro- pean triumph, will be seen at his best in the “Big Parade.” Moss and Frye work all through the production and how. They are cer- tainly an amusing combination But little “Apus” Brooks, formerly at the Alhambra, comes in for a lot of favorable comment. ‘Apus” has a way of his own and that way is just “Too Bad.” Have you ever seen “Apus” strutt his stuff? Well, a visit to the Lafayette is well worth the trouble and the price of admission—doubled. ‘Charlie Davis has turned out as nifty a chorus ensemble as any one would wish. Charlie has a fast, nimble stepping aggregation of nifty little maidens who know how to handle their feet. That Monday night audience gave the girls a big hand and they had to take a number of encores. The girls of this unit are “Frankye” Maxwell, Anna Humphrey, La Rosa Austin, Helen Robinson, Ro- sita ‘Williams, Anita (Peggy) Wharton, Elmire Britt, Juanita Boyd, Helen Powell, Birdie Boyd, Doris Moore and Natalie Caldwell. Others in the cast who contri- bute creditable effort are Archie Cross, Tom and Austin Coles, Rus- sell Smith, Santita Reveria, Fran- cig and Otis, the Nigerian tom tom players, led by Prince Eket who claims to be an African Prince, Al Frisco, Elizabeth Tay- lor, Richard Campbell, and Wil- liam Walker. The feature photoplay for the week is the Vitaphone romantic drama “The Rescue,” starring Ronald Colman. At the Lincoln The Lincoln Theatre played t¢ capacity crowds the first part oO! the week as we went to press. S H. Dudley, Jr. and his “Ginge1 Snaps,” a fast moving muscial comedy, proved an irresistable at traction. Young Dudley, son of the illus trious S. H., and a clever qoung: ster who is a credit to his father, has a highly geared vehicle. The comedy, singing and dancing, is good and the machine is nicely balanced. Following upon Irvin C. Miller's dramatic production of last week, Dudley surprised with the quality of entertainment he presented. There was Sidney Easton and Bert Howell in their comedy sketch and Osie McPherson and her chin mu- sic. Then there is Lily (Pontop) Yuen, the slim bronze beauty, her her winsome smile and flying feet; Edgar Martin, comedian; Alma Travis, vivacious soubrette; Willie Bryant, the boy with a way and a nifty, fast stepping chorus unit that is a wow. No wonder the Lincoln is playing to large audi- ences this week. Speaking of that chorus aggre- gation, oh boy, and -how these ba- bies can step. They are ten in number and ten of our most popn- lar little maids. They are Ivy Black, “Peggie” Morris, “Peaches” Stewart. Anna Harris, “Peggy” Sheppard, “Billie’ Marshall, De- lores Minor. Juanita Sylvester, Inez Smith and Elmira Scott. The feature photoplay for the week is “Steamboat Bill, Jr.,” star- ring Buster Keaton and Ernest Torrence. This is as fine a com- bination of drama and comedy as the screen has ever produced. Every member of the family will find both stage and screen show at the Lincoln Theatre this week worth several times the low ad- mission price charged there. At The Alhambra The Alhambra Theatre’s popular three-in-one policy scored again this week, when ‘Gang” warfare broke out on the stage of this fa- mous old house. Yes, ““H—l]” broke loose and how, following the caper- ings of Sandy Burns and his mu- sical comedy entertainers, who fol- lowed the photo play of “Tenth Avenue.” George Randol stars in the dra- matic sketch entitled, “The Crime Wave.” A Fatty Belcher, gang chieftain broadcasts his defiance to society and the law over the ra- dio. Just home from a winter va- cation, “Fatty” is jubilant and all too bold for his own salvation. The police swing into action and by some clever work run “Fatty and his crooks to earth, Others who star in the sketch are Barry Carter, Susie Sutton, Teddy Blackmon, George Wiltshire, Edna Harris, Al Watts and Artie Cain. Their work is remarkably good considering the handicaps im- posed upon them. “Ashes,” Mister Burns if you please, is seen to advantage in “Sandy Chops Suey.” Aiding Sandy in the fun we find a num- ber of old favorites and a number of newcomers, namely Jacqueline and Jines and Essie Queen. “Harlem” Scores Wallace Thurman and W. J. Rapp’s spectacular production, “Harlem,” scored at the Shubert Lafayette Theatre of Detroit, Mich- igan, last week. The dramatic story of Negro life is booked here for three weeks and then goes to Chicago. S. Lorraine Smith, a critic of the famous city of autos, has this to say in part of the production: “This drama of life is not as distinctly Negroid as some of the box office successes of Negro life that have preceded it. The same setting could easily be used for any poor family of any group that has come from a small community io big city and fallen in with the sood time bunch and underworld char- acters. “The close of the rent pa-ty which might easily be a rite to Bacchus himself, while not what is expected on the stage, is mild 10 some of the parties in which flam- ing youth indulges. “The acting of Vivian Baber as Cordelia is splendid, her dancing also deserves mention. Roscoe Montelle in his role as fussy, and lazy father is typical. Elizabeth Williams in the role of the reli- gious old mother is excellent. Ma- ble Ridley, who loves Basil, though he cares for Cordelia, and acts her part creditably. Austin Burleigh, the sweetback, and Andrew Bishop, gambler, Herbert Ellis, henchman, with ease depict underworld char- acters. William McFarland as a quick tempered West Indian is sood. There is not one member of the cast who does not do his part creditably. “Taking everything into consid- eration ‘Harlem’ is unusually good and bids fair to be one of the ereatest box office attractions of the season. It is a play that one cannot afford to miss.” tS Enact Renee Ca enced HAMBRA Lee eee rae) Gangsters at War with the Chicago Police—Bootleg Battles—A Drama of Startling Gun-Play with ao sur- prise Climax ‘ ?

MILLER FLASHES A “DREAM SHOW” Concerning The Late William Archer T HE creative mind is capable of queer pranks. In this book, “Play Making,” William Archer relates how he once “wrote” a play that had already been produced by a famous dramatist. Mr. Archer was spending a week end in the country, and while out for an afternoon stroll in solitude he suddenly hit upon an excellent idea for a play. His mind clicked off tense situations, and even bits of brilliant dialogue, without effort. In half an hour he had fashioned a gripping plot and half a hundred sparkling lines. Thinking himself blessed with a rare visitation of inspiration, he hurried back to his host’s house to write his creation down before he should forget some” precious part of it. -It was not until he began to put his brain-child on paper that he discovered that he had reconstructed Ibsen’s “Wild Duck.” Concerning The Current Mr. Miller Mr. Irvin C. Miller, than whom no showman is better known in these parts, seems to have been the victim of a similar coinci- dence. Like Mr. Archer, Mr. Miller has somehow refashioned a plot that had already gained wide currency over the signature of another producer. But unlike Mr. Archer, who discovered his un- conscious plagiarism before he made it public, Mr. Miller imme- diately put his unintentionally copy-cat show on view in the Lincoln Theater and invited all the world and his brother to come and see it—at fifty cents, top, per look. Mr. Miller presented his show under the title “The Circus Showman,” and my research men inform me that it is almost an exact parallel of a well known talkie. 1 will not give the name of the picture which Mr. Miller’s story so closely resembles. | am not an under cover man on the pay roll of the movie people, so Vil just let them protect their own copyrights, Besides Mr. Schiff- man will probably be bringing the picture uptown soon, and | do not want to hurt their business by spilling the beans about the story being the same as that of the “Circus Showman.” 1 know, too, that it is quite possible for two minds to hit upon the same idea at the same time independently. It is also a fact that plots sometimes come to showmen in dreams. Perhaps Mr. Miller got the plot of the “Circus Showman” that way. But he will have a hard time making the lawyers of the movie people believe him if they ever find out about the close parallel between the show and the picture. But that’s between him, Mr. Schiffman, the movie | people and their God, if they have any. The Audience Ate It Up 1 don’t give a tinker’s continental about the authorship of “The Circus Showman” anyway. The thing that intrigued me, and | warmed the cockles of this old heart, was the way the audience | ate it up. It was gratifying to see, for instance, that the folks in | the seats got a bigger kick out of the dramatic situations than | they did from the so-called comedy. | ask you, Mr. Schiffman, | doesn’t that mean the people are hungry for drama? ‘ | The New Lincoln } When | went to the Lincoln last Sunday afternoon it was my | first visit to the 135th Street playhouse since Mr. Schiffman, the | Brechers’ miracle man, became the power there. 1 have heard ; that Mr. Schiffman has inaugurated several improvements in the ; management of the Lincoln, and | noticed one right away. He ! isn’t supplying the audience with programs to throw on the floor, hence the theater is cleaner than it was under the regime of Mrs. Downs. The seats are cleaner, too. Not so many people are sitting In them. If anybody should ask for my opinion on the matter, | would say I’ve got a hunch that the Lincoln is just a little too clean for Mr. Schiffman’s peace of mind. Indeed | would not hesitate to bet my bottom dime that Mr. Schiffman’s sensitive eye would not be offended by the presence of a little dirt fetched into the theater on the brogans of paying customers. : I caught the Sunday afternoon performance and I estimate that the first, show played to about 300 spectators, including the cop who came in to get warm. Observing the skimpy audience, my mind went back to the days of the Downs dynasty when they used to pack ’em in four times a day. Something tells me those days are gone forever. 1 hear a great deal about the decline of the Lincoln being due to the deterioration of the amusement offered on its stage. This explanation of the loss of popularity suffered by the theater strikes me as cockeyed. The entertainment on tap at the Lincoln is as good as it ever was. A change has taken place in the audl- ence, not the amusement. Various factors which | shall discuss In some future issue, probably next week, have improved the public taste. Observing those empty seats in the Lincoln, | see the handwriting on the wall warning the Lafayette and the Alhambra what’s waiting for them around the corner. ‘LEARN TO D To be a member of society, you must dance.

LEW LESLIE'S BLACK BIRDS opened in Buffalo last Monday, playing to a capacity house. From the big upstate city they go to Baltimore for a week and thence on to Atlantic City prior to sailing for England. A Review of "Appearances" An Inspired Comedy-Drama By GARLAND ANDERSON "APPEARANCES" was produced in this city in October, 1925. It returns to the Hudson a much smoother and better constructed play. This is a play with a message, a very sincere and absorbing message. However, to one person, the lesson is struck at the audience with too much of a mallet-like force. For this reason, it is disturbing dramatically. The story deals with a Negro bellbey and his philosophy that Truth will triumph and that a man can make of himself anything he believes he can provided he has Faith. Carl Sanderson, a colored bellhop in a hotel in San Francisco, is accused by a white woman of accosting her on the street. At court the colored man pleads his own case declaring his innocence of the charge, and further proclaiming his belief in Truth and Faith. In this case, both Truth and Faith win out and everyone goes out with the feeling that here, at any rate. Virtue conquers. This play is an appealing one of its kind, and it becomes very engrossing at times. James La Curto gives an excellent and convincing performance as the bell-boy. Doe Doe Green, the only Negro in the cast, contributes hugely to the humor of the piece; his gait is certainly unforgettable. The other members of the cast are adequate in their roles. BASIL WINTER.

THE UPTOWN NEW YORKER --- Magic Islands THE Uptown New Yorker last year ventured the opinion that night driving in Harlem thoroughfares would be facilitated to no end by the requirement that the darker of the Uptowners straightway fit themselves with tail lights. Now, the world's greatest traffic solver and the best dressed, it is observed, has quite recently adorned Lenox Avenue with safety islands, white in color and of distinct visibility. It is now possible for that group of the tropical strangers within this port to step but a few paces from the curb on this "boulevard negre," and to experience to their hearts' content that "island feein'." Good Boy IN A CERTAIN Broadway Musical Comedy success, the lead and the engene are sitting upon the side of a lower berth in a Pullman car. "Lovely Lady," said the youth, "will you get angry if I asked you for a kiss?" "Young man," replied the lady, 'what would you think of a burglar who had a chance to steal a thousand dollars and only took a nickel?"

What is your game, 'little big timer'?" * * * And another friend forwards: "We hear that Harlem is to have a Hall of Fame in which to glorify some of our most prominent boys and girls. If this be a fact, we nominate JOE RHODES, for walkin' that broad; MARIE AINSLEY, for knowing how to use her "come-on-over" eyes; CHINK LOWE, for his sex appeal (no foolin'); JOHN POWELL, for his "sax" appeal; AMANDA RANDOLPH, for making people laugh; JOHNNY EARL, for his remarkable "giggle water" capacity. CORAL LOWE, for her gift of gab. BOBBY DORSEY, for his personality strut: MILLIE COOK, for still being able to look like a debutante; LOUISE COOK, for being able to dance without the use of her feet. We don't think it would take long to fill our Hall of Fame for our Harlem boys and girls are famous for many things. Yes, sir, many things." * * * Additional Trouble MR. SWINNERTON reached the office with circles under his eyes and a much worried expression. His partner looked at him, shaking his head. Then he decided to see just what was eating on his friend. "Say, Jimmy, just what's on your mind? You've been looking like a dying calf for the last month." "Yes, old boy, and I feel like a dying calf, too. It's my wife. I can't get a smile out of her for anything." "No. Perhaps you don't do anything to make her smile. I'll tell you what to do. Take home tonight some flowers, candy, and invite her out to a show, and see what effect 'twill have on her." And so he did. But still, instead of Friend Wife crying out for joy, her bottom lip dropped, and tears fell from her eyes. "Why, dear! Aren't you pleased with the candy and flowers—and don't you care to go to the show? What is wrong?" And Mrs. Swinnerton replied: "I had an accident with the car this morning; the kids were sent home from school sick, and now you come home drunk!" Jimmy, you are forgiven. The young lady realizes that you had had 'one too many,' but admonishes you not to try any tricks like that again, for her patience is short on such things. Savvy! Willie Jones had things all his way last Sunday at the Harlem Knights matinee, we hope that he got back to Jersey O.K.

THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Disillusion How I do enjoy reading facial expressions of those around me...sometimes while sitting by quietly...looking on the scene...and even when I mingle with the dancers...I always watch the many different expressions...some happy and gay ...some rather sad...some of indifference...others cold...and often many with that world old expression of longing when looking into the eyes of their partner seem to say as in the language of C. K. Harris, "Would I could but read your heart and see what's there...could I find some hidden art...Just to know how much you care." This "gift of mine" was called into play the other day. A certain swell-looking physician of Harlem ..it seems.....had been going into raptures over this scribe's photo.....(I must tell you here..that so many of my friends.....have always given me the very broad hint that my pictures flatter me.) So it was my great pleasure to meet the gentleman.... last week.....fact to face.....If you.....readers could have seen his expression.....as I did.....It seemed to say.....Is this the pill I've been writing all that bunk about.....Oh but didn't I wish for an old feather bed or something even softer and how! to put behind him to break the hard tumble it seemed he'd take at any minute.....If I have ever read "disillusion" anywhere.....it any time.....I read it in the eyes of the admirer of that photo.....and from now on I shall fly into a rage and stamp my foot and say to the photographer as did Oliver Cromwell.... "Paint me as I am"!! And last week....too....we met Bobbie Branche .....who is just as sweet as she can be.....Seeing Bobbie.....in her snow white uniform.....made me think of the thirteen days.....I "played" nurse in the Long Island College Hospital.....here in Brooklyn .....Those thirteen days.....except for the one day spent on an operating table.....under that thing I dread most.....ether.....were wonderful days filled with memories never to be forgotten.....When nurses are as sweet and lovely as Bobbie Branche and the gorgeous looking "Bee" Cousens.....

I say designed for this very reason. While walking down Seventh Avenue minding my own business, two men began scrapping over the insignificant statement that one considered himself superior in strength. During the altercation one man threw a missle. His opponent ducked. Now with me in direct line, and he and I being about the same size, naturally my cranium received the thrown object. I flew into a rage and socked the guy in his eye for ducking. Had I gone home as I started to, I would have not been struck with a missle intended for some one else. But Fate designed upon me. If the other fellow hadn't ducked he would not have been socked in the eye. Fate designed THE KING OF KUNG FU MARGARET BECKETT, nifty little Soubrette who has sang and danced her way into the hearts of theatre-going patrons. upon him. If our public wasn't such big suckers we wouldn't have prohibition, but Fate designed upon them too, poor things. ```markdown ``` Breezed into the Savoy just to say hello to the gang and ran into some of my best friends.

Really surprised me. They had a new revue called "Home to Harlem." staged by Pedro Lane and featuring Lane, Hanna Sylvester, William Ellis, John Perry, "Flea" Gray and Pearl Darrow: Ellis and Parry are good tap dancers and really know how to put a dance over. Pearl Darrow does an Egyptian snake dance that shows you just how supple a person can be. Every girl in the chorus knows her stuff and they don't fall to strut it. Maybe you know some of them. There's little Hilda Bendisher. Irene Hayes, Alice Bowen, "Frankie" Emanuel, Margaret Alexander and Hilda Smith. And should you ask me they all know how to snake dance and have the proper amount of looseness around the waist to make them good at it. Happened to glance over in the corner and spied Chunky Ambrose, former owner of the Mad House, and present proprietor of the Barbercue Grill. 'Course I know he needs no introduction. Chunky, Johnie Carey, Mal Frazier and a couple of their out of town friends are just back from a five week stay in Hot Springs. Can you imagine the luck of some people? All of them look healthy and strong enough to be hunting wild animals with their bare hands. Bam! the doors flew open, the building trembled and in blew the entire Harlem Company, hot from Broadway. And then the fun really began. All of their stars cut up a few capers and entertained the crowd as well as themselves to the utmost satisfaction of everyone present. I don't know when I have enjoyed myself so much before.

Received a nice invite on a wonderfully original invitation to the Wall Street Boys' Association's entertainment and dance to be given at Renaissance Casino on Friday evening, April 26th. I think that was nice of them and I will certainly try to be there. I know those boys couldn't give anything that wouldn't really be good. Connie's Inn was running over last night. Gee, what a mob of people can get in one place. I suppose they are all like me, they never get tired of seeing the Meeres' team strut their onions.

Alma Dickens and Mable Jackson were seen hanging on the arms of two snappy looking sheiks at 2 o'clock Monday morning and were heading right into the Spider Web. In fact they were only about two feet in front of me. They must have been enjoying themselves immensely, for Alma couldn't stop laughing and showing those pretty teeth of hers. Mable was jolly, but a little more sophisticated and seemed to be a little under the weather. They ordered fried chicken and waffles and of course that made me hungry, therefore shortening my weekly bankroll Page Eleven BAMBOO INN TABBS about $1.25. Such a life!

AN ardent reader of your humble correspondent's sport tidbits, gives us a problem quite as difficult as the Einstein theory on "Relativity" is to the average College Professor. Erskine Richards, step and jump, and relay racing like Dehart Hubbard; can't possibly be overlooked in a discussion of "All Around" athletes after a standard set by Jim Thorpe, famous Sac and Fox aborigine of Carlisle University, N.

That was back of the race set the style in basketbaall com-mer, with such incomparable players as Gill that ever breathed, Bill Sykes, "Huddy" man in this city and a star of the first manly those who were not quite up with the team a look in with this combination tailed to select as the best all star amateur. Looming far and away above the sterling men of sports amphitheatre named by the reader, is that of Cumberland Posey, Jr.—the Tilly Shafer of our playboys who attained the dizzy heights in three sports without the fanfare of school publicity, and despite an atmosphere of great wealth from infancy. Posey, the son of wealthy parents, might have chosen any profession he so desired and become famous because of the great background of social status and wealth that enshrined him. The plethoric bankrolls of promoters in every field of sport constantly beckoned to him—but he would have none of it. His was a flaming spirit that brooked no interference. "Cum" would rush at a giant of George Godfrey's proportions, just as quickly as he would a man of his own size, fists flying and cussing like a South Seas Islander, but never taking a mean advantage. He formed his own organizations, backed them with his own money, fought members of the press single handedly who were hostile against him for reasons fancied or real, finally becoming co-owner of one of the outstanding baseball clubs the semi-pro world has ever known—"Homestead Grays" of Pittsburg. Basketball was always his hobby, and he quit Penn State University flat because the dour visaged professors refused him permission to go away on a trip in the midst of important exams. At various times he was an enrolled student at three famous institutions of learning: Pittsburgh University, Penn State, and Luquesne University, when the latter named institution was known as "Holy Ghost Uni." LEAVING College, this militant soul formed a basketball five known as the Monticellos. These rough and ready Buccaneers of the prince of indoor pastimes apparently caught part of the great spirit of their leader for in a comparatively short space of time they became one of the most dreaded quintets. The roster contained such never to be forgotten names as Jimmy Dorsey, Frank Bell, Austin Norris, Seward Posey, Walter Clark, Dick Garrison, Joe Mahoney, and others we are unable to recall to mind for the present. That was back in 1912, when College teams of the race set the style in basketbaall competition. Howard University, with such incomparable players as Gilmore, greatest colored center that ever breathed, Bill Sykes, "Huddy" Oliver, now a famous physician in this city and a star of the first magnitude; Nixon and Gray. Only those who were not quite up with their basketball data gave any team a look in with this combination that most sport scribes are inclined to select as the best all star amateur five we've ever produced. Monticello Licks Howard Five "m" avowed as how his playmates would practice game with the lordly Collegians, the of a huge joke by the authorities at Wasd Howard invincible. So to Pittsburg trek show the Smoky City just how basketball But what a rude awakening was in sto When "Cum" avowed as how his playmates would like to indulge in a sort o' practice game with the lordly Collegians, the defi was taken in the nature of a huge joke by the authorities at Washington, D. C., who considered Howard invincible. So to Pittsburg trekked the chesty collegians to show the Smoky City just how basketball is played in polite circles. But what a rude awakening was in store for the invaders. When the last ominous whine of the referee's whistle had died out, the Monticello team, captained by the inimitable Posey, wore complete masters of the situation to the tune of 25-19. That victory "made" Monticello and Posey now a national figure looked for richer and more virgin fields to conquer. "Harlem"—beloved center of Colored folk in New York City, beckoned to the sandy-thatched ironman of the court and his devil may care crew of idol smashers. In rapid succession two wonderful New York machines—Alpha Big Five and the Brooklyn Smart Set bowed before the prowess of Monticello. The name of Dorsey, Frank Bell, and Cumberland Posey, struck fear into the hearts of all opponents, enabling this great Pittsburg quintet to "Blaze a Trail" in inter-city Colored basketball history. Season after season our foremost teams like the Incorporators, Alpha, Spartans, and St. Christopher traveled to the lair of the "Smoke Easters" only to taste the bitter lotus of defeat—here and there we won glorious victory in the last minute of a hectic game that took as much toll Page Twelve BLA A N ardent read gives us a f "Relativity" is to Alvin J. Moses step and jump, as sibly be overlooked standard set by Ji University, N. Y. of Fresno, California; sends in four names of athletes of African extraction who in his opinion constitute the foremost "all around" athletes produced by our group in America to wit; Cumberland Posey, Paul Robeson, Charlie West, and Ned Gourdin. Mr. Richards suggests that from this huddle of super-stars we nominate a single figure for especial citation in sports Hall of Fame. Before we attempt any such move, we'd like to say that any chap who could run the 100 in close to world's record figures, excel in the running broad jump, and scintillate like a "Kohinoor" in the hurdles, hop, Posey Possessed Flaming Spark * * * from the spectators as it did the players—but that was only once in a great while. The mystic wand of Posey ruled Basketball with as much eclat as "Rasputin" dominated the Queen of all the Russias. The light complexioned sandy haired Westerner was being hailed by contemporary colored and white scribes throughout the length and breadth of these United States as the peer of all court performers in whose veins flowed at least one-eighth of the blood that has caused so much insurrection by Negrophobes of a type. Loendi Team of Titans THE limbo of the years found the glory that was Monticello's taking root in a club destined to be the finest ever produced by African genius and finance on this soil. It is now 1917, and war and rumors of war are as thick as hail in the blast. The colored youth of America rally to the colors, conditions changed entirely in basketball, and that which once was a clean, manly sport unsullied by conniving promoters, now became a sordid commercialized industry. Posey's call for new and younger blood was answered countrywide. The calcium of sports flashlight became dim for not a few of our super-stars of the court like Lukie Williams, Sell and Howard Hall, Cracker Holland, Jimmy Edmonds, et al, members of crack College fives but recently enlisted in the Posey Red and White woolens. On that Loendi team were youthful lads like Eddie Monroe of the Buffaloes and Renaissance team whose picture adorns this page—powerfully set up chaps who never knew what the word quit meant THE BALL He was the ideal type of the best when the stake was larger. In recent years such well known George Fiall, Rock Anderson, passed off the scene of action of "LOENDI" and "POSEY" o He was the ideal type of "Money" player who rose to his playing best when the stake was largest. In recent years such well known stars as "Specks" Moton, Pappy Ricks, George Fiall, Rock Anderson, filled the gap of stalwart leaders who passed off the scene of action for one cause or other—still the name of "LOENDI" and "POSEY" carried a veiled threat.

"Cum" would tear—his unhelmeted head shining With the Collins Tigers Posey displayed the same dashing style of irresistible play that characterized his work in basketball. The "Tigers" were considered the "roughest" team of the Washington Park Playground in Pittsburgh, and their despised rivals were the crack Delaney Rifles. "Cum" would tear through a line like a bucking Cayuse—his unhelmeted head shining in the sun like a golden ball. In baseball he was a fleet outfielder who, while nothing near a "Charleston," played smart inside baseball at all times. With Charlie Walker, Posey is owner of the famous Homestead Grays—a team that gives the big leaguers more than they bargain for. At the age of twenty-one, this slight appearing "Mighty Atom," had the poise and "Savoire Faire" of the veteran campaigner. His motto was "Invictus," his creed . . . to the top of the hill or bust. Calling "Cum" a stylist was the bunk pure and simple. He was always the Iconoclast—a destroyer of temples, an image breaker. Ever and anon he would go "Bearsark" as the ancient Vikings styled young warriors who performed feats of strength in battle worthy of a dozen men, and at such times he was absolutely irrespressible and unstoppable. Unheralded and unsung came this debonair rapier of Smokeytown storming the citadels of the athletic greats in three branches of sport. To him Howard, St. Christopher, Incorporators, Commonwealth, Coffey Club, Alpha, Spartans, Vandals—were just another opponent who needed "dusting off." Robeson, twice an "All American" football hero, a basketball star who ran wild in the Palestra of Pennsylvania University, caging eight field baskets in the livery of Rutgers College, Gourdin—first man in the history of Amateur Athletes to jump 25 feet or more in the running broad jump, and the finest "all around" performer in the entire history of Howard University! and Charlie West, sensational football wonder of Washington-Jefferson University of Pennsylvania who starred in the Pentathlon and Decathlon events as did Robeson—were marvelous athletes. Phylically—they towered above the "stormy petrel" of the court, but there only does the comparison end.

George Gilmore (peace be to his ashes), a pivot the like of whom we've never seen in more than a decade of watching the best teams of all play, was a forward for Posey in those days. The elongated Howard University ace who later was to gain undying fame with quintets of the Alpha Physical Culture Club of this city, was a streak of lightnin' in those days contrasted with his slow movements that caused some of his Blue and White teammates to dubb him lazy after the dreaded "White Plague" had gained a stronghold in his system.

He is married, has a family, and for the present resides in the big city. ‘Pappy” states that they should have defeated the Celtics all the games that they played them for the World’s Championship, but playing every night through the week, and the lateness of the season, the boys are somewhat burnt out. “Pappy” has made a wonderful name for him- self, and will long be remmebered as one of New Jersey’s stars in the bas- ketball world.

By Jackie Nobile (A letter fragment is here set down to provide for your interest.) "By chance I perused your column of the week of Friday, March 29th, and found something that aroused my interest; to wit: 'Color doesn't play any part—but there are qualifications.' I am of the shade that she can't find words to define words beyond saying, 'Ah—well.' From which I assume that means a toothful. However, leaving something to the reader's imagination adds zest to the quest and I, for one, accept her challenge, and though I have a strong heart, I won't delude myself to believe I meet all the qualifications. Suffice then, that I shroud my description until (should I be fortunate), I hear further from Miss Frankness (That is my name for her since her request was so frank). I would write further and in more detail, Jackie dear, but I am handicapped and must ask your forebearance and faith until my next letter to you." --- (My dear, how did you hope to escape the Lonesome Heart Column if you are lonesome? Why it stands as Charybdis on the one side and Scylla on the other, drawing into its channel all those who have ever tossed the rough sea of loneliness.) "Gee! I tried so hard not to let your Lonesome Heart Coulmn get the best of me, but I guess you win. Now, Jackie, this is not a case of I can't get a gentleman friend or haven't got one because I have one that adores the ground I walk on but you understand, somehow, I don't care and if you don't love anyone, of course you are lonesome. Am American, a widow in the thirties. Guess I am what you'd call light brown skin. Folks say I am not bad looking, but whoever answers this will have to judge for himself as to my looks. Would like to meet a pal. Must be very good-loking and dress neat—and above all, have a nice disposition. Must be between 35 and 50. What I mean by a pal is some one that likes all things that I like, such as dances occasionally, shows, cards, baseball sometimes and a general nice time in a nice way. But Jackie, please let him be nice looking as I am very hard to please as to looks. Tell them not to be afraid because I have a gentleman friend. Just wanted to be honest. You know the old saying—the best man wins.'" *** (Young woman selects for her marriage partner the wrong person. She does what every sensible soul does when he finds his mistake: Goes in quest for the one meant for her). "My only trouble in life is that I was disappointed in marriage. I can pass anywhere. Not a flapper but like to dress well, fond of books, like all out-door sports. Have a loveable disposition and am broadminded. Please, Jackle. if you can find a man who has desired letters. Data written in pencil will not be considered. The Tattler does not assume responsibility for the good faith of correspondents. Address Jackie Nobile, Editor of Lonesome Hearts Column, Inter-State Tattler. had difficulties similar to mine, let me hear from him. I am lonesome. I want to be a pal to some good man before I get old. I have my own little blue heaven. The young man I desire must be a Christian and possess that trait of being affectionate and loveable." * * * (Word comes to me that a man with two wives—one with whom he is now living—has appealed to the Lonesome Heart Column for a lady friend. It is not my pleasure to give service to types of this kind. I hope this may be fully understood). Now, here's a man any woman could like—He's orating over the evils of "Lonesomeness." (Tattler gets a boost as a race paper). "While passing a newsstand today, I happened to buy and read one of your papers for the first time and found that it is one of the greatest race papers of its kind that I've ever read. And speaking of your Lonesome Heart Column, I want to say it is just wonderful! Therefore, I must congratulate you for the good and faithful work which you are doing. "Now, Jackie, speaking of myself, who pratically needs no introduction to the professional and theatrical world, yet there are millions of folks who have never seen or heard of me. One would say, why he's an actor and he shouldn't have any trouble in coming in contact with nice girls. Well, that might be true, but nine times out of ten, the most girls that actors meet are girls of gayety and when a man is thinking of jumping off the hill down into matrimony, every girl he meets doesn't always suit his taste. So that's my full reason for appealing to you to help in bringing me into companionship with some nice, respectable lady friend between the ages of 18 and 35, not weighing over 130 lbs. She doesn't have to be pretty, so long as she has personality and charm. Color doesn't matter as long as her character is good. "I am seeking a nice lady friend whom I can put all my trust in and make her happy through life. "Again speaking of myself, I am one half of the famous and well-known vaudeville act of..... I am dark brown skin, wavy black hair, five feet 71-2 inches, weight 140, with nice appearance. Nice dresser and have plenty of personality and talent; besides, I am not self-conceited. Will highly appreciate the right girl. Am a gentleman and willing to be kind to the right girl." --- (This young lady has the most wonderful name and if you heard it you would almost be sure that you truly could trust her). "I am a lonesome girl and I would like to meet a nice young man between the ages of 25-30. I work in my sister's beauty shoppe and there- fore, I do not have time to go any place to meet nice young men. "He must be tall, ligoht brown skin and with fairly good hair. He must also be a neat dreser and an industrious man. Please, if you can help me to communicate with such a person, do so. I would be greatly obliged with such service." * * * (Young man who failed to attract to himself a pal, tries again). "I am five ft. 91-2 inches tall, weigh 155 lbs., 28 years old, brown-skin and a fair loker and dresser. I am a painter, musician and professional boxer. Hail from "Chi." My friends forsake me because of my one encounter with the law. No one is perfect. I sinned and am paying my debts to society with a smile. I have six more months. I want a real companion, one that knows how to appreciate a real, true friend, one 22 to 30 years old, five feet, six and one half inches tall. I like from high brown to light complexion. See what you can do for me." Readers, attention! Please do not seal letters that are to be sent to others. All communications must be read before going on to their final destinations). \*\*\* (This one came flying right through the air and landed "square jam" on my desk with a whir-r-!) "I'm way out West in the 'Lone Star State' and the girls, like the towns, are few and far. "I'm not a big butter and egg man but would like to hear from some refined girls of the East between the ages of 16-21. I have been East several times. In fact, received my education in Philadelphia and spent considerable time in New York, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Chicago. I am 23 but look younger. Am five feet 7 inches, weigh 145 lbs. I'm light brown-skin with black, curly hair. Considered good-natured and have been given credit for having a pleasing personality. I'm athletic, can dance, sing, play music, cards, in fact, do most anything any other typical American colored boy can do. "Am sincere and will answer all letters." * * * (Sailor boy aboard United States Steamship is sending S.O.S. calls. His ship has, it seems, run upon the reef of loneliness and he awaits rescue with some apprehension). "After reading your Lonesome Hearts Column many times, I am going to take a chance, hoping you can find me some nice young lady. I would like her to be brownskin, about five feet 3 inches or more. Age from 23 to 28; weighing about 115 to 123 pounds. "I am dark brown, five feet 11. weighing 154, age 31. Am employed by the the Federal Government. Like dancing and all athletic sports. Hope the young lady likes the same." * * * (There is an old homely saying that molasses will attract more flies than vinegar. One of our correspondents described himself as a sweet brown. Note the results). "After looking over your Lonesome Heart Column I found one letter in it that caught my eye, and Jackle, dear, I've decided to answer it. "He, the fellow that I'd like to correspond with, calls himself a sweet brown. He is nearly nineteen. I noticed that he answered another's advertisement but he interests me and so you see the results. "I'll describe myself: I have a neat, boyish bob; am 17 years of age. Am five feet two—but not eyes of blue. Weigh 118 lbs, pleasingly plump. My friends consider me cute. I'm very, very lonesome and would like a pen pal. Am a sophomore in High school (Boarding school). "Jackie, you must excuse me for being so familiar but that's just my way. But, Jackie, I do hope I suit that sweet brown." ```markdown ``` (Although the following is only a "scrap of paper" it gets forth a strong character). "I read your letter in the Tattler and I wish to say that I would surely 'set value on a nice man.' Am very popular with the opposite sex but am thoroughly disgusted with them. I still believe, however, that there are some real men that appreciate high standards in women." (The above was sent to another and is not to be answered). No reason, fellows, why so many brilliant and beautiful ladies should be lonesome. * * * (You were rather young to make such promises. No, no sensible person can call you a coward for trying to find happiness). "I am just one of the many Lonesome Hearts. First, I will tell you why I am lonely. At the age of sixteen, I fell madly in love with a girl who was a few years older than I. Two years later, she met another, six years her senior. She left me desolated for this new lover. In the meantime. I had promised her that if I could not have her, I would go through life alone. So I have kept that promise as well as I could. Now, I wonder if I would be called an untrue coward. if I did break it now? "I confess that I have become so entangled with the Lonesome Heart Column until I am seized by the desire to appeal to someone for help. "I am about to forget to tell you what I look like and what I like. Am 21 years of age, tall, dark brownskin, black hair, brown eyes, five feet 11 inches, weigh 148 lbs. Dress fashionably—not theatrical. Have old fashioned ideals—one for instance, girls with unbobbed hair. Love music, good stories, literature and poetry and all out-door sports. Am author of a few poems. Am kind-hearted by nature, an ardent lover. Have excellent health and good personality. Hope someone, somewhere, sometime, will write me and I will write back to anyone, anywhere, anytime." * * * (A young lady very refined, five ft. 2 in., brown eyes, bobbed hair, 18 years old, brownskin and attractive, would like to correspond with any girls between the ages of 17-20 who would like a girl pal). * * * (Another pathetic appeal reminds us that all is not well everywhere. We seek a comforter). "I am a poor unfortunate young man who was led astray by companions with whom I associated and it seems since I have been shut out from society, all my so-called friends have turned their backs on me. So I am asking you, Jackie, with an aching and lonely heart, to please help me find a young lady to correspond with—someone who will cheer me and be a sincere pal. I would like her to be 20-24, brownskin. I have sharp features with black eyes, brown skin, straight black hair, weigh 145 lbs. and am five ft 81-2 inches tall. As for looks, I will pass. Dress very neatly Page Fifteen and study music. My trade is a mechanic. "Please, Jackie, help me and God will bless you." (What do you think of this request? "Please, Jackie dear, don't let Mr. Waste Paper Basket get this letter. Send me a friend real soon.") "I've been reading your L. H. C. for some time and have just decided to turn my case of 'Lonesome Heart disease' over to you. Maybe you can find a cure for it. We all need doctoring and nursing at some time, so I'll follow out all instructions. I am five ft. 2, brown eyes (dark), black hair that is fairly good. Most people consider me rather nice-looking. Am a teasing brown, age sweet sixteen and two. Am considered very neat in my style of dress and weigh 121 lbs. "I would love to correspond with a college student of the male sex. I'm in the high year of a boarding school and find it rather lonesome not having a boy friend with whom to correspond. Please do something for me real soon." (To be stylish is one way of being attractive). "The colored population of this town is very small and therefore, I have not had much opportunity to meet eligible colored men. I would like very much to get acquainted with someone through your column. "I am five ft. 3 inches tall and am 22 years of age. Have medium brown bobbed hair and am very fair, brown eyes and an considered quite stylish. "Would like to get in touch with a college student about five ft. 9 or 6 feet tall, who is brownskin, has nice hair and a congenial disposition." * * * At the suggestion of some of our New York and out-of-town Lonesome Hearts we have been Induced to form for the Tattler a Lonesome Heart Club.
