By Jackie Nobile (Says she's "tight like that.") "I have read two of your Tattlers given me by a friend, who advised me to read the Lonesome Heart Column first. I did and find it very interesting indeed. It gave me a new idea. I am asking you to please help me get acquainted. I have been here seven weeks and met two young gentlemen but not the type I would like to meet. Would like to become acquainted with some nice boys not over 21-28, who would take me as a pal, not a sweetheart. 'I'm tight like that!' "Am dark brown skin, five ft. 1 in. in height; weigh 105 lbs., a lover of dancing, cards and shows." (My nickname's Don," explains our reader. To give background, we suggest that he add Quixote.) "Would like to make some new girl friends through your column. Will you help me?" "Am five ft. 61/2 inches tall and weigh 150 lbs.; brownskin, black hair and eyes; considered passable looking. Do not drink or gamble; fair education and loads of experience; musician by profession; play saxaphone and also sing a little. "I would like the girls to be about 5 to 51/2 ft. tall, brownskin, weight not over 135 lbs., broad-minded and with a sense of humor, who enjoy tennis, golf, horse-races, theatres, dancing, good literature and music. "I am an American and not prejudiced as I am looking for refined friendship." (An Indian once exclaimed, "White man string words together, see how many he got!" Our young man swings to the other extreme.) "Am just a lonesome boy of 28. Looking for not a good-looking girl but a good pal." (Lonesome Heart Editor has had thrust upon her a lovely pseudonym.) "Dear Cheerful Heart-I needs must call you this because you choer everyone up so. I only hope you can help me out. "I'm very old — 29 medium height and weight, dark brown. Would like to meet a young man (American) between 30-35, neat, clean and not abundantly fond of Mr. Volstead. "Am an excellent dancer and fond of good theatres. "May I place all this in your very willing hands? I feel that you will do your best." (It is said that a Grecian youth, puzzled as to the question of marriage, sought out the Immortal Socrates for advice. "My son," the user began, "if you marry, you will desired letters. Data written in penell will not be considered. The Tattler does not assume responsibility for the good faith of correspondents. Address Jackle Nobile, Editor of Lonesome Hearts Column, Inter-State Tattler. be sorry; if you do not, you will regret it!") "If over a man was in earnest about wanting to meet a nice girl and get married. I am that man. "The girl must be good-looking, brownskin—though will not turn down any color if she possesses the other qualities—have nice hair, nice figure, sweet, affectionate disposition; anything over five ft. high, weight 145-175 lbs. Age any where from 25-35. A widow without children will suit just as well. "I am six ft., 180 lbs., brownskin, good hair. People say I have a wonderful disposition. I have a good position making a decent living. Am Christian, lover of music, art and shows; sing a little. Would like someone who is also interested in the same." (Please write to these "shut-ins"; they are lonely.) "It is my desire to ask you to find someone that would like to write to a Lonesome Heart and a worried soul on the inside of the gray walls thinking about the outside. "She must be between orange and lemon color and have hair that just won't behave. Weight, 120-30 lbs., five ft. or fraction over. Wish my correspondent to be about 28. "I am 5 ft. 4 in. and weigh 160 lbs.; brown eyes, brown skin and black curly hair; two gold teeth; 38 years old. It is a long road to travel but I will find the end under the next president. So Jackie, do what you can for this heartbroken soul. It is said the droppings of the honey-comb are sweet to the taste, so is a gracious woman's voice to a man's soul." "I will be released in a short time to come, so when I am, I would like to have all ready waiting for me, the one and only thing in my life, and always will be, and that is a mate. And then we will look forward to our little lovenest. "I would like to meet a nice refined woman, brownskin and let us both be real pals to each other until the end. It doesn't matter if she is a widow, with or without children, as long as she is between the ages of 20-30. I am brownskin, fair type, curly black hair and considered good looking; weight 150; height five ft. 4." --- "I offer no excuse for my plight, knowing that I was guilty of my commitment. However, I do contend that the measure taken and carried by the court was excessively drastical. Will be out in 1932. Of the three years in prison, two of them have been given in an earnest study of music and its composition. I play the piano a little and sing a little too. "When free I am a very neat and somewhat excessive dresser, due to the fact that I love good clothes. Am not handsome but will pass. Am five ft. 5, and weigh 145 lbs. Like nearly all sports. Am very affectionate and crave the same, and how! fair education. Born in Boston, 1902. "Would like the person to be fairly good-looking, five ft. 5, weight, 130-50 lbs., age 26-35, with exquisite (strictly feminine) form, as I detest boyish figures in women." * * * "I am one of the many lonesome hearts who eagerly scan your column each day with hopes of meeting an ideal through your medium. "At the present time I am shut away from the world and the nice things that make life worth while. I will appreciate it greatly if you can arrange a correspondent for me, some one who is congenial and broadminded enough to overlook my present predicament. A letter from the outside world certainly does inject a lot of sunshine into this dark and dreary place. "Below follows a brief description of myself: age 26, height 5 ft. 7 1/2 inches; weight 150 lbs., brown eyes and wavy hair, real light complexion—a very pleasing personality. Fond of all out-door sports." (One of my boys—member of the Reformers—has a number of songs that he would like to get on the market. If there is anyone that can help these lonely hearts "go over," will he not communicate with Jackie Nobile?)

C. for some time past; therefore, I have decided to write you for help. "I am very much down-hearted indeed. Will you come to my assistance and help an anxious one? I shall appreciate it very much if you will do your best for me. I need a real pal with good intentions who can appreciate kindness and I shall do my best to please. "Am African born, age 26, weight 140 lbs., brownskin, known to me as black. Would like lady of good appearance, any kind of complexion, age 18-29, with experience. No objection to dancing but subject to limitation. "Please just forget about the African, because the Africans are not so bad as you were told or as they are painted." * * * (Writer places character above all else.) "Perhaps there is a young lady between the ages of 17-20 who would care to write me. Prefer a girl who attends high school, with light brown skin and around five ft. 6 in. tall; above all, of good character. "Am 21 years old, a graduate of 'Chapman Institute of Technology,' all-around athlete, five ft. 9, light brown complexion; sales manager by profession." * * * (No Jivers need apply, our correspondent informs.) "If you can help me find a nice young gentleman, I'll assure you I will be very happy. "Am dark brownskin, 19, five ft. 3/4 in., boyish bob, weigh 135 lbs., also sweet disposition and pleasing personality. Would like to meet a gentleman between the ages of 22-27. Color doesn't matter, but must be nice looking and have nice hair; dark or light brownskin preferable; good worker. Does not have to be rich; must Page Fifteen not be a drunkard; must be respectable and have some intelligence. If he is a lover of amusements and social affairs, he is thirty-eight and two with me. Am anxious to meet one with automobile if possible—but doesn't matter." ```markdown ``` (John Keats sums up in one line "A thing of beauty is a joy forever"—this athletic youngster who flings her personality on this page.) "I will be twenty this July. Am a tall, teasing brownskin girl, height, five feet, five inches; weight, 130 lbs., dark brown eyes, long, unbobbed hair. I love to swim, play tennis and basket ball. I also dance and enjoy going to the theatre. "Won't you please see if you can get some one to write to me? I am lonely for pen, pals." ```markdown ``` (The Tattler, it seems, is a much-talked of paper.) "Last night on my way to the music store I met my girl friend and she told me about the Tattler. This morning, the first thing I did was to walk fifteen blocks to buy one and the second thing I did was to read the last page. Up to now, I haven't read the book through. "I am anxious to have a nice young man to correspond with. I admire most the six ft'rs. I am not a gold-digger and no man can buy my love with money. What calls my attention to a man mostly is his personality. I am a lover of music and the dance, am brown-skin, 21 years of age, weigh 130 lbs.. five ft. 2 in. Am Spanish, reared in New York. Speak, read and write my native language." Advantages: A saving of $1.50 on your subscription: a letter of introduction, given to Lonesome Heart Members in other cities, thereby making it impossible to become lonely while traveling; an invitation to a dance which is planned at the end of the year. 2294½ 7th Ave. B.

JACK TROTTER, Business Manager published Friday of every week by the Inter-State Te etter February 28, 1928, at the Post Office in New York Merger ! Merger THE era of big business is past., The trend of the day is toward vast business. In industry and finance the keynote of the times is the magic word "merger." Even charitable and educational institutions, moved by the spirit of the age, are combining in larger units; and we read daily of colleges and hospitals "merging" their faculties and resources. Naturally, show business is in step with the general trend and the tendency is toward the grouping of an ever larger number of theatres under a single management. An instance of the movement of small enterprise toward consolidation is Mr. Frank Schiffman's taking over the management of the New Douglas, Roosevelt and Odeon theatres. Mr. Schiffman now controls five of the seven theatres catering directly to Harlem, having recently assumed the operation of the Lincoln after several years successful management of the Lafayette It is fortunate for Harlem that Mr. Schiffman has gained a virtual monopoly of local show business. It was inevitable that these theatres should be combined under a single ownership if they were to be operated with success. Since it was only a question of time before some chain system would step in and take them over, it is gratifying to know that they are in the hands of a man who is familiar with the needs and friendly to the ideals of the community. As manager of the Lafayette Mr. Schiffman has made human contacts which have crystallized in sustained goodwill on the part of the Harlem public. On occasions too numerous to mention, welfare organizations have found him willing to assist them to the limit of his ability. One of the two largest employers in Harlem, he has taken a keen interest in the economic problems of the community aside from their hearing on the prosperity of his business. Last, but not least, he has done all in his power to elevate the quality of amusement presented in his theatres. We are sure that we but reflect the sentiment of the community when we wish Mr. Schiffman all the success in the world. Look for big announcement in Inter-State Tattler next week. Be sure and read it. TILLIE MARSHALL, popular ingenuer, who is appearing at the well known Alhambra Theatre.

Chelsea Exchange Bank to Establish New Bank in Harlem The Choleson Exchange Bank on or about July I will move from their present quarters to the southwest corner of 135th Street and Seventh Avenue. This will be one of the most modern banking offices in this section, Charles G. Rapp, Vice President of the Institution, stated, and it is established as a tribute to the thriftiness of the colored people in Harlem. The Chelsea Exchange Bank, Mr. Rapp stated, has maintained a branch in Hurlem for seventeen years. Starting as a small bank the branch has gradually outgrown its present quarters. The directors therefore approved the establishment of a modern bank with safe deposit vaults and all of the banking conveniences which will be ready for occupancy about July 1. The new bank will occupy about 4000 square feet of floor space in its new quarters, the main floor of the new building will be given over entirely to banking and the safe deposit vaults will be located in the basement.

IN the last issue I explained briefly the definition and practice of Pharmacology; the professional standard, etc. Now! I am giving you a synopsis pertaining to a certain group of preparations, and the "originator." These preparations are called "Galenicals," deriving the name from "Galen," the originator, a physician, and father of Modern Pharmacy who after years of untiring efforts, succeeded in standardizing these preparations according to a definite formula so that they may be used both as curative agents, and as advancement to the art and practice of Pharmacy. Therefore, by the word Galenical is meant preparations prepared according to a definite formula, and must comply to a definite standard, but which cannot at all times be definitely analyzed by definite means. * * * Most of these preparations are official in the U. S. P. & N. F. (latest edition) and are very valuable for their curative principles. I will now illustrate a few examples of them. 1. Mistura Glycerrhizae Composite (Latin). Compound mixture of Glycyrrhiza (English), (Syn., Brown Mixture). 2. Emulsum Olei Morrhuae (Latin), Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil (English). Another Branch of Science which forms a close ally to Pharmacy is "Material Medica" and treats of the remedial agents used medicinally. This branch of science is invaluable to the study of Medicine and Pharmacy, for as defined, it tells (1) All about the Drug or Preparation, (2) Its uses, (3) Its medical properties, etc. SYRACUSE and WILLIAB B.

There may be general inflammation, syphilitic tumors. or degeneration of the liver. This organ is more frequently attacked by the syphilitic process in the tertiary stage than any other organs. 10 The usual change consists in the formation of syphilitic tumors, with extensive inflammation and the formation of scar tissue. The syphilitic tumors may be scattered, but sometimes they are joined together into a large tumorlike mass pushing aside the liver tissue and causing a certain amount of destruction of the normal substance of the liver. The syphilitic tumors may be single or multiple varying in size, and composed of the usual elements of rumors of this nature. There are considerable amounts of fibrous tissue with a dead center of cheesy material. As a result of the invasion of the syphilitic tumors there may be contraction and distortion of the shape of the liver. The symptoms of symphilitic disease of the liver vary according to the stage of the disease. Jaundice (yellowness of the skin and eyes) is an early manifestation and is probably due to a catarrhal condition of the bile passages. Enlargement and tenderness of the liver may be obtained by physical examination when it is the seat of late syphilitic disease resembling hardening and shrinking of the liver accompanied by some jaundice, indigestion, dropsy of the abdominal cavity, and loss of weight. Sometimes a continued fever observed in tertiary syphilis may be due to inflammation of the liver with the formation of fibrous tissue. In syphilis of long duration, where there is decided enlargement and destruction of the substance of the liver no radical curative results can be expected. Professional Announcement Tel.

It seems as if Vernon Andrades played the last melody all too soon. * * * Surely New York must be a suburb of Harlem. We thought at least one affair would be without a crowd, but wrong again!

Short addresses were made by Mr. Thomas Mercer of the Metro Diamonds, who introduced the officials of the Renaissance Basketball Club, who made it possible for the League to carry on; thanking them for their support, and assuring them of the League's desire to do all in its power to make itself worthy of their continued help. Mr. Douglas, speaking for the Renaissance, impressed upon the youngsters the necessity to continue their good work in order that they may some day take their places as members of this great team.

Smith and The Theatre BENNIE BUTLER, Theatrical Editor At The Lafayette The Lafayette has a pleasing combination program this week, introducing Irvin C. Miller's newest vehicle, "Joy Boat," with the spectacular Vitaphone Talkie photoplay. "The Barker." This production of the well known impressario, Irvin C., has a cast of well known and popular favorites. Heading the list is that pugnacious black face comedian, Billy Higgins. Miss Revella Hughes, who a few weeks ago thrilled and pleased Lafayette patrons in "Swing Along," is another welcomed entertainer. Then there is Troy Brown and his excess baggage or three hundred pounds of comedy nature. Octavia Sumler comes in for much consideration, also the Silvertone Four and the Strutting Dandies. "The Barker" tells the story of "Nifty," the world's champion circus and carnival announcer, rough and ready fighter, the idol of the women of the show and the proud and devoted father of a young son whom he wants to see grow up a better man than his father. When this young man "falls for" the circus diving queen, Nifty's heart is broken. "The Barker" is replete with rousing fights on the carnival grounds with side-splitting comedy, with tender romance and heart-touching pathos. The talking as well as the acting of Milton Sills. Betty Compson, Dorothy Mackaill and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., make this picture one which will never be forgotten. At The Lincoln The offering at the Lincoln Theatre this week is very good. The vehicle labors under the sweet confectionary and weighty title of the "Chocolate Music Box Revue," and it's a music box and a fairly good revue if for no other reason that that melodious songbird, Doris Rheubottom, comes out of the box to chirp as only she can. But there's Johnny Vigal, Dicky Conway, Amon Davis, Josephine Byrd, Rose Henderson, Marcus Slayster, and a smooth working ensemble of dancing damsels who seem to enjoy their work. The comedy is good, the dancing also but Miss Rheubottom is majestic, triumphant and glorious. To hear her sing is well worth the small admission price.

"The Whip" is one of the finest pictures that played Broadway this season. The Harlem Club Revue will be presented at the Lincoln Theatre next week with an augmented cast of comedians and chorus girls. This snappy night club revue is fairly certain to be one of the best entertainments of its kind which has yet been presented in a local theatre. The feature photoplay for the week will be "Synthetic Sin," starring Colleen Moore. At The Alhambra The Alhambra Theatre presents a dramatic sketch this week, entitled, "Trimming the Trimmers," a story of trickery and the inevitable triumph of justice. The musical comedy in two parts or halves is a production called "The Maytime Revue," featuring Sandy Burns. The feature photoplay is "Golden Shackles," starring Priscilla Bonner. Teddy Blackman and Violet Speedy, who are sweethearts (in the sketch only), are heirs to two great fortunes. The "Trimmers" plan to in some way prevent the marriage. Then George Randol, as a detective, unmasks the villains and brings happiness to all the deserving. The others in the cast are George Wiltshire, Susie Sutton, Barry Carter and Artie Cain. The revue centers around Sandy who is aided by two other blackface entertainers. Amanda Randolph, Alto Oates, Tillie Marshall, George Wiltshire, Ted Blackmon, and the Alhambra Dancing Damsels also aid in the frolic. At The Odeon Next week's photoplay and vaudeville programs at the Odeon Theatre are exceptionally good. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 4, 5 and 6, a great crook melodrama, "Alias Jimmy Valentine," will be the feature attraction. William Haines is the star. Five big vaudeville acts will also be presented on the same program. On Tuesday and Wednesday, May 7 and 8, the big program will include, in addition to five acts of vaudeville, "The Cohens and Kellys in Atlantic City," starring George Sidney and Vera Gordon, and the "Overland Telegraph," with Tim McCoy. On Thursday and Friday, another big double feature program will be presented, "Seven Footprints to Satan" and "Fugitives." On these days also the program will include five big acts of vaudeville. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 11, 12 and 13, the photoplay feature will be "Sins of the Fathers," starring Emil Jennings. At The Roosevelt The Roosevelt will show "The Quitter," with Ben Lyon and Dorothy Revier this Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 4, 5 and 6. Tuesday and Wednesday, May 7 and 8, the program will be "The Black Pearl," from the pen of Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, starring fascinating Lila Lee. Richard Barthelmess will be seen on the same program in "Scarlet Seas." On Thursday and Friday another double feature program will be presented consisting of "Circumstantial Evidence," a gripping murder mystery, and "It Can Be Done," the mile a minute comedy drama with Glenn Tryon. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 11, 12 and 13 the feature attraction will be "The Red Sword," a stirring story of the days when the Cossack's lash whistled over Russia's downtrodden millions. At The New Douglas Starting Saturday, May 4th, for three days the New Douglas Theatre will present a double feature program, which will include "Seven Footprints to Satan," a powerful mystery drama with a cast that includes Creighton Hale and Sheldon Lewis. On the same program will be shown "The Man From Headquarters," a stirring detective mystery story. Tuesday and Wednesday, May 7 and 8, the program will have Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky in "The Rescue" and "The Silent Trail." Thursday and Friday, May 9 and 10, "Making the Grade," with Edmund Lowe and Lois Moran, and Billie Dove in "The Night Watch" will be shown. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 10, 11 and 12, the New Douglas will show Victor McLagle in "Strong Boy." 126th Street and Seventh Avenue ALHAMBRA NOW PLAYING THIS WEEK "TRIMMING TRIMMERS" Novel Comedy-Drama of a Million Dollar Marriage and Its Unexpected Result "Maytime Revue" SANDY BURNS—"Ashes" PIGMEAT MARKHAM, HACK BACK ,TILLIE MARSHALL, ALTA OTES and a Great Cast BESIDES PICTURES Midnite Show Every Wednesday Next Week "WILD MEXICO" Perils of a Reporter "THE .

I read the papers now and then and see that big business is eating up little business all over the country. It was only natural that the independent show business of Harlem should be eventually swallowed up by some chain system. The only question was which big interest would absorb them. Now that's been settled. They are being masticated by the Lafayette people. When I say the Lafayette people, of course, it's just another way of saying Mr. Frank Schiffman. The fact that the theatres mentioned are reposing snugly under Mr. Schiffman's vest is by way of being a break for the community. It means that the folks who shop for amusement north of 135th Street are going to receive more for their money than they have been getting in the past. Mr. Schiffman inaugurated this more-for-your-money policy when he took over the Lafayette. The idea has proved so profitable at that theatre that he would be less than wise if he did not extend it to the operation of his new houses. It can be observed, with more than a modicum of truth, that the stage shows at the Lafayette are not always spectacles of mirth and beauty. One might even go further and remark that frequently the shows offered at the Seventh Avenue playhouse are what the French, in their delicate way, would call punk. And how! this column would add. It is a stubborn fact, however, that the first step toward improving the quality of theatrical entertainment is to fire bad actors and hire clever ones. If anybody should suggest that method of raising the tone of Lafayette amusement to Mr. Schiffman, he could handily reply with a paraphrase of a retort Wellington made to one of his subordinates at Waterloo: It is a stubborn fact, however, that having the quality of theatrical entrants and hire clever ones. If any method of raising the tone of Lafayette, he could handily reply with a paraphrase made to one of his subordinates and "And where," Mr. Schiffman might answer? If I happened to be the one he would be stumped. Mr. Schiffman is a dramatic art. He is running a theatrical act meant ready made.

At Mr. Schiffman has taken it over, Night Native wisecrackers will probably have no fear to the Odeon as the "Odious." "And where," Mr. Schiffman might ask, "am I to get better actors?" If I happened to be the one he was shooting that question at I'd be stumped. Mr. Schiffman is not running a school of dramatic art. He is running a theatre, and he must take his talent ready made. Good Negro actors are few and far between and Mr. Lew Leslie and Mr. Flo Ziegfeld have practically all of them caged for exhibition to the $3.80 trade downtown. Whenever one of these headliners happens to be running around loose for a week or two Mr. Schiffman seldom fails to lure him to the Lafayette stage for the delectation of the four-bit customers of Harlem. You cannot, within the bounds of reason, ask him to do much more than that. In the realm of pictures, where he has more latitude, Mr. Schiffman has consistently given his audiences the best their money could buy. It frequently happens that there is nothing really good to be had in the wholesale amusement market. On such occasions Mr. Schiffman rarely neglects to obtain something novel, which usually fills the bill until something good turns up. An instance of his alertness in fetching innovations to Harlem was furnished by the introduction of talkies to Uptown New York. As I said above, I read the papers now and them. But more than once I have seen talkies billed for the Lafayette before I knew they were off Broadway. It's a better than even money bet that movie addicts of North Harlem will no longer have to wait six months for a feature film to travel uptown from Broadway via Oshkosh, Kokomo and Sioux City. From now on they're due to get 'em hot off the Main Stem. Now that Mr. Schiffman has taken it over, Night Hawk and other superlative wisecrackers will probably have no further occasion to refer to the Odeon as the "Odious."

We fully agree with Mr. Dougherty in his contention and have often advised members of the profession of the necessity of a strong central organization. But, unfortunately, the entertainers need a leader and that leader is yet to be found. A number of attempts have been made only to fizzle out. Those who aspired to lead were found wanting in the qualities of leadership, integrity and the ability to organize. Yet these failures should be "Stepping Stones" to ultimate success. Another unfortunate angle to the situation is the utter indifference, ignorance, hostility, selfishness and treachery within the profession. Because of this, I feel that the effort to organize will have to come from without, rather than from within the ranks of the entertainers. Yet, come it will, sooner or later. The Tattler fully appreciates the value of organization. Nothing would please us better than to see the entertainers organize and we would eagerly help in the work. The sooner the performers realize that "In Unity there is Strength," the better for them. Now is the time to lay aside petty jealousies, selfishness and get together for the common good. It will mean protection from unscrupulous managers, from exploitation, and for development and progress. Then, why not organize and do it NOW. In his article, Mr. Dougherty claims that the performers are being exploited, which is beyond dispute. They certainly are and with a vengeance. But—if you will let these same performers tell you, their biggest or worst enemies are the colored critics. They take sharp exception to criticism regardless of the truth. But, any manager, white or black, can take the meanest advantage of them with only the faintest protest, if any. Few members of the profession realize that the newspapers are their best friends, regardless of the unfavorable criticisms. Despite our caustic attitude now and then, the Inter-State Tattler has and always will, champion the cause of the profession.

For the Columbus Corporation we furnished the script, music and the cast for the two reel comedy, "In Jail," featuring that clever record artist, Mamie Smith. 2nd. For the Radio Corporation of America we starred Billy Mitchell, the former Columbia Burlesque comedian, in "The Traveler." 3rd. For the Roseland Picture Corporation we starred those two well known vaudeville entertainers, Gulfport and Brown, in "Asleep at the Switch." 4th. At the Recording Laboratories of America, we produced "A Darktown Court" featuring Sonny Lee and twenty others. 5th. In addition to these productions named above, we also featured Billy Mitchell and Andrew Fairchild with Margaret Lee, in "Get the Hook." Maude Mills, Jimmy Steward, Sara Martin and the Southland Stompers in the "Southland Revue." "A Cafe for Whites" with a cast of ten and featured Billy Fowler and his Radio Band.

"Hamtree" Harrington we failed to lamp. Guess the famous "Tree" was coupled off in some cozy little corner and how. But that's nobody's business so let it alone.

Except for this she was naked. Her brown skin. the color of an oak apple....But try as I might, I could not get the memory of this forest-child out of my mind. The lonely years I had passed in Africa had made my whole being cry out for something to love, for some romance, for it is exactly this that is lacking in the great dark continent....She was proud and evasive and in every way inaccessible. The sound of her laughter was the prettiest thing I have ever heard in my life. It was clear as the cry of a widgeon on a frosty January morning, clear as the sound of wind in a tall unpollarded popular tree. The more I saw of her the more impossible it seemed that I should ever be able to rid myself of the spell she had cast over me. I began to contemplate marrying her. What not?

VN'S TALK CLUB HARLEM HARLEM NIGHT LEE BAMBOO INN LENOX CLUB CONNIES INN SMALLS' PARADISE THE ROSEBUD TABBS --- IF THERE is such a thing as reincarnation, then I want to come back to this earth in the form of a mule, so that I will be able to kick a few people somewhere between the nape of their necks and the bend of their knees! Everyone argues evolution, reincarnation, spiritualism, etc. None of these things worry me. I'll be satisfied if they ever find out how in the devil a woman was made from the rib of a man. If that is ever settled, I'll be satisfied. Made the twelve o'clock revue at Small's Paradise last night. Got a few facts on their new revue that opens Monday night, May 6th. Quite a few well known principals have been engaged. For instance, Cole and Wade, popular dancers, Brown & Brown, singers and dancers. Dick Campbell, singer, and one other team whose names I have forgotten, are the new additions in talent supreme. Some of the old members are out of the new revue. The rest of the principals are Willie Jackson, of course, and Joyce & Rookie, the Topsy and Eva team, Bea Foote and Myra Johnson. Edith Simms, Maud Woodson, Jazzbo Hilliard, Sammy Green, the Variety Trio, and the McClain Sisters are the ones who will not appear, a fact much to be regretted. I am glad they are keeping Charlie Johnson and his band, anyhow. Those boys really know how to jazz. Oh, by the way, have you a radio? Then why don't you tune in on station WMCA every Tuesday night from twelve to twelve-thirty, and Thursday night from ten to ten-thirty? Those are the broadcasting hours of Small's Paradise, and I want to tell you there is some real broadcasting done. Don't forget to tune in Thursday at ten o'clock. * * * Stopped at the Nest Club and met Dewey Vanderberg. Very nice fellow! Seems to be quite an efficient manager. I suppose that is why Mal and Johnny sent for him. Now that is the place you can go when all other clubs close. Good music, supplied by Joe Steele's second band, and wonderful entertainers. It is run on a strictly club basis, which is a very good feature, and really protects its patrons while at the same time, they keep within the law. May Johnson, Victoria Vigal, and pretty Viola Colston are the entertainers, and how! Marjorie Sipp acts in the capacity of hostess, and the only thing I regret is they won't let Margy sing. Now remember, when you go out at night, and run into a night club, and three o'clock rolls around, don't be sorry, because they close and you are not ready for bed. Just march right around to 169 Yest 133rd Street and dance until you fall asleep if you want to. Club Harlem, of course, belongs to me—that is, it's mine whenever I am down there. It is the only place I go that I can't ever leave until closing time. The crowd is just as jolly and entertaining as the revue. I don't know, I suppose everyone feels like I do, perfectly at home. Then again, I never get enough of Pearl Darrow's dancing. There seems to be something fascinating about her movements. "Flea" Grey and her original dancing is also another feature that is worth while seeing. You'll have to go a long way to find better tap dancers. Stayed down there until old curfew rolled around as usual, and danced until my "dogs" cried out in despair! Gonna crash the gates on Connie's Inn again this week. Want to hear that band and see their revue again. Also the Meeres Team in their Indian number. I'll disguise myself, and maybe I'll get in easier.

Nice joint though, and as long as my overalls hold out, I am going to continue going down there. The Savoy was very early last night. I went there about ten o'clock and the place was darn near packed then. That just goes to show you what good management and pretty hostesses will do for a place. When you can't think of any place to go, or anything to do—drop in the Savoy and grab any of those pretty hostesses, and dance as long as you want to. * * * Gotta go and kill a man, so will see you later. Don't forget twelve o'clock Tuesday night, and ten o'clock Thursday to tune in on WMCA and get a load of hot music from Small's Paradise! So long, see you next week! GENE MATTHEWS.

The spirit of levity that the black man carries even into his work regardless of the arduousness of it, has provided no end of stories for the pen worn white scribes who run out of material ever and anon. Page Twelve A. Tom O'Rourke, dean of American fight managers who handled the ring destinies of George Dixon ("Little Chocolate") and Joe Walcott, dreaded "Giant Killer" of Barbadoes, British West Indies, has cracked more sides in after dinner speeches with his tales of his dark skinned warriors and other warriors of color. O'Rourke, a quaint Irishman of the old school capable of licking a troop in a free for all was and still is a friend and admirer of your correspondent, so much so that in greeting each other a cheery "Hello, Tom" suffices. Listen to this one "Tom" tells about Walcott rolling Peter Maher all over Coney Island Boulevard: "Soon after I brought Walcott to New York I sent him down to Coney Island to help train George Dixon for "Little Chocolate"s" fight with Fred Johnson, the English featherweight champion. Maher came into Dixon's training quarters one day, while Joe was curled up on the floor by the fire, just like a great Collie dog. Maher — one of the greatest punchers that ever laced on a glove and a quick witted sharp tongued "Harp," peeped in the door and seeing Walcott with his bullet shaped head and tremendous arm outstretched, turned with a grin to me and said: 'Badad, Tom, I've a mind to poke him and see if he's got a tail!'" "Keep away from him Peter I admonished, or he'll smear that Irish face of yours all over the map!" Mind you Walcott was sound asleep and hadn't heard a word of it. A few days later Maher and his sparring partner encountered Dixon and Walcott on the road. Peter was in high glee and after joshing with "Little Chocolate" told George he was going to find out whether or not Walcott had a tail hidden under the back of his shirt. Peter grabbed Joe. Joe grabbed Peter. The next place Peter found himself was on his back in the middle of a puddle with his own sparring partner on top of him. Walcott, for all his smallness of stature had cross-buttocked the husky Irishman and rolled him in the mud, and then grabbed his sparring partner and flopped him on top of Peter. Peter Maher, whom the experts claimed was a more deadly hitter than Bob Fitzsimmons, Sharkey, or Jeffries, never got over the way little Joe Walcott, the "Demon," handled him that brisk morning ex- LINCOLN GIANTS Wonder Ball Team with Billy Yancey, Scales, Lloyd, Rich, Gee, Rojo, "Dolly" Gray, Highpocket, Mason, Washington, Wright, Smith and other well known stars.

"Bub" Hewlette 'Tells One DO you know "Al," I've really received a tremendous kick out of treking around the country with some of the best race fighters in the racket since the beginning of the World War back in 1914. Most all of the good ringmen of color possessed a rare vein of humor, that at times compensated for other shortcomings in our business relationship. Germany with her war dogs unleashed was marching upon the Belgian fortress at Liege. Dominick Tortorick, premier fistic impressario of New Orleans after much dickering had secured the services of Harry Wills and Battling Jim Johnson as his feature attraction of a holiday card in the gay partly French city. Entering the amphitheatre an hour before he was scheduled to go on, Battling Jim scanned the house with a sinister gleam in those never flinching eyes of his. After debating with himself for a few seconds, Big Jim turned to the promoter and exclaimed:—"If you expect me to fight for you tonight you'll have to give me some more dough." Taken off his feet by the sudden change of Johnson whom he had guaranteed 800 iron men, he countered with:—"How much more do you want?" Another brief interlude, during which time Dominick proposed a raise of $350 which was promptly refused by the collosus of swat, brought this rejoinder on Johnson's part: 'There's a powerful lot of folks out in here boss, you'd better—but he never finished as Tortorick broke in with:—I'll give you a thousand more, Jim, to go through with your end of the contract,—will you accept that? Battling Jim was not capable of thinking as rapidly as you dear readers, so after a lengthy pause came up with this brilliant bit of reasoning. No. . . NO. . . NO. . . I won't accept no thousand,—just give me FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS right now in my hand before I enter the ring and the fight's on. Thunderstruck, the dazed Italian promoter counted over the original end plus the added five century notes and hastily left the scene to reflect in solitude. BATTLING Jim had no place to secret the money, so he handed it over to a diminutive second to keep until the affray was over. Just picture anyone having the time to attend to outside business with the youthfull Harry Wills of that era in there trying to crash a rib or two. Well that's just what Battling Jim did. This second kept on ducking his head under the low perched ring roof, and Jim every time he got into a neutral corner or a clinch would glance over in the direction of the handler with eyes opened. as large as saucers. He stood it quite well for five heats, finally the thoughts of his disappearing bankroll got the best of his tempo. In a voice that could be heard all over the place Battling Jim bellowed:— "HEY THERE 23 JAMES EVANS, for years the outstanding pocket billiardist of the race and a constant challenger for remier World honors. Evans holds the present State record of 154 balls made against Chick Seeback, and meets Arthur Woods in a three night match game commencing Wednesday night, May 1st. By Alvin J. Moses SUNSHINE, . . . keep that head o' yours up above the waterline, . . . You're givin' me more trouble than this here man I'm huggin'. The house went wild over Jim's statement, and even Wills had to suppress his mirth. SAY there were two real fighters "Al,"—Panama Joe Gans and Kid Norfolk. I worked in both of their corners long enough to know JAMES EVANS, for years the of the race and a constant challengers. Evans holds the present S against Chick Seeback, and midnight match game commencing that each one was a champion over any division from the welterweight up to the lightheavy, and either could have substituted for the other and won against anyone but Dempsey and Wills. Recalling those days, reminds me of a funny stunt Leo P. Flynn was accustomed to pull on the "Keed." Whenever there was an especially dangerous heavyweight that outscaled Norfolk from thirty to fifty pounds matched to meet him, he would debate with Leo over the advisibility of stacking up against him. The artful Leo who had an ever-ready wit, would parry with this sort of a crack:—"Don't you want to fight that big bum I've matched you with?—you're getting $750 for this palooka and he'll be duck soup for yer! "Well if you've got to study about it, 'I'll blacken up myself and earn that easy dough.'" That little speech always carried the day says "Bub," and Norfolk would rush Calvin Gooding Champ Lester Hamilton, world's Colored bowling champion, lost his coveted laurels to a product of the E. C. Hutchinson Recreation Rooms last Friday night, when Calvin Gooding, one of the most popular young men of this section triumphed by the score of 1.918 to 1.799 total pins of a ten-game match. Both Hamilton and Gooding failed to average 200, Gooding's mark being slightly above 192 and a fraction. Splendid sportsmanship prevailed throughout the match. Lester grasping Calvin's outstretched hand in token of victory, like the hale good fellow that he is. Gooding is an example of what perseverance and tenacity will accomplish in the realm of bowling. It was in Ernest Hutchinson's palatial room at 144th Street and Yenox Avenue that Calvin first took interest in hurling the sixteen-pound balls, and in less than two years at his present rate of speed, he ought to furnish stubborn opposition for the best in the country regardless of color. One of the features of the match was the presence of Miss Hulda Holmes, as the guest of Mr. Hutchinson and the Editor. Her radiant beauty and general personal charm diverted many a glance from our crack bowlers during the progress of the match. She had the away to pack the old kit for Walla Walla, or Stony Point as Leo directed. Came talk of a match with Harry Wills, the Brown panther of N'Orleans suh, and Norfolk was fed up on such yarns as Jack Dillon licking Frank Moran when forty pounds lighter, Ketchell against Johnson, and Dempsey against gigantic Jess Williard. Deep in his heart and soul Norfolk always knew that Wills was too big and classy for him, and I didn't fail to tell him so. Tommy Gibbons was asking $150,000 to climb in there with the dreaded Wills, Kearns wouldn't even let Jack Dempsey open a letter with the the outstanding pocket billiardist challenger for remier World hon- State record of 154 balls made meets Arthur Woods in a three ring Wednesday night, May 1st.

Norfolk got to thinking one day and ran down to 14th Street to Leo's office with a well thought out story that went like this: Mr. Flynn, the rest of these fellers are asking hundreds of thousands to fight this feller Harry Wills, and I understand that I am to get but five grand for my end. Well you know for years you've been telling me that if a tough feller came along and I didn't want to meet him, you'd blacken up and earn the money yourself. Now this is all I want to say regarding my fight with Wills,—unless I get eleven grand for that battle, you can get out the old war paint and—BLACKEN RIGHT UP AND EARN IT YOURSELF. Needless to say Norfolk received the $11,000 for getting kayoed by Wills with that ghost punch in two heats. Pauline Jackson to Swim Sporting circles are again glad to learn that Pauline Jackson is planning to sail for Europe in July when she hopes to swim the English Channel. She has utilized every effort to complete the feat, and is calling upon sport lovers, friends and organizations to lend her assistance. The Pauline Jackson Association has been formed with the intention of promoting a benefit to raise the necessary funds to defray the expense of Miss Jackson's trip. It is hoped to raise $3,000 to cover cost of trainer, coach, greases, training expense and steamship fares for three and other accessories. In 1926 Miss Jackson won the Pelham Bay, New York, endurance swim over fifteen competitors. In 1927 and 1928 she made a very creditable showing in the Wrigley Marathon at Toronto, Canada, in the icy waters of Lake Ontario.

The season was officially opened by Dr. John F. Condon, public school principal and a veteran ball player and Lincoln Giants fan, who threw out the first ball. During the game the 369th Infantry Band, Lieut. Jacob Porter, conductor, furnished music. The first run of the game was made by "Dolly" Gray, who after being given his base on balls, stole three successive bases. Another feature of the game was three home runs. The first was by Mack Eggleston in the third inning. Charlie Smith of the Lincoln Giants hit one over the right field fence in the fourth and manager Ben Taylor followed with the other in the fifth. The local teams played brilliantly at times but made five errors during the game.

PHILADELPHIA ON WEDNESDAY evening, April 24, 1929, Philadelphia witnessed the most gorgeous and elaborate wedding of the year. Had this been the uniting of two "Royal Families" there could not have been any more splendor and pomp. At 6 o'clock "Cherry Memorial Church," at 16th and Christian Streets, was filled almost to its capacity, with gorgeously gowned women and well-groomed men. New York, Baltimore, Wilmington, Washington, Brooklyn, and Madisn, N. J., society was well represented, to say nothing of great throngs from Philadelphia proper and nearby towns. The wedding was not to take place until seven P. M., but every one felt the importance and prestige connected with this wedding, and they made a desperate effort to obtain seats hours before the appointed time. Guests started to arrive at five o'clock, and of course it is understood they obtained the best seats, after so many were reserved for the bridal party.

While Mme. Evans sang, "Oh Promise Me," silence proved to the singer that her audience was more than pleased. Their faces showed that they would have felt better if they could have given in to their feelings with hardy applause. This being the improper thing under conditions they had to suppress any boistrous demonstration of approval and pleasure. * * * At 7 o'clock, Mrs. Claude Connors, cousin of the bride, made her appearance at the processional aisle, while the golden throated organ peeled out Mendelsohn's Wedding March, accompanied by Mr. Frank Conwell, violinist of Riverton, N.

While the matron of honor walked slowly up the central aisle Rev. Wm. A. Howard, the pastor, took his place at the Altar, followed by Mr. Irving M. Brown, the groom and his best man and brother, Mr. Dewey Brown, both of Madison, N. J. The bridesmaids, Ruperta Chacon, sister of the bride, wearing flesh gown, with hose and slippers to match, picture hat of moire trimmed with tulle, carried pale pink sweet peas.

Everyone who attended said it was the outstanding dance of the year. The hall was bedecked with palms and the guests were protected from the weather on entering the hall by a large canopy. A liveried footman added much prestige to the affair. Domer Brown's Radio Ten were at their best, their syncopation made it very hard for anyone to miss a dance. Some of the old-timers who have not been seen for sometime at dances could not resist the call of the Chesterfield dance. One of the old-timers, and by the way, he happened to be a doctor, when he heard "Sweethearts on Parade" being played, made a wild hunt for a little flapper who was not dancing. He was forced to extend his hunt to the basement where refreshments were being served. In a few minutes he came up to the dance floor with one of the prettiest Little flappers in the building. We learn she is a student of the "Essie Marie" studio, of dancing. Well the dear doctor, trying to make an impression, started to do a dance, that appeared to be a cross between the them. We saw one Miss Green, who hasn't missed any first class dance since the Spanish American War, and let us tell you she was shaking a wicked hoof. It would be impossible to tell you of all the amusing things we saw, because there was one a minute. Oh yes! And could we tell you that a certain funeral director from Washington, O.C., really had his fun. We believe the Chesterfield Club draws more people from distant cities than any club we know of. Of course the hospitality it shows has much to do with it. The club members' wives and girl friends acted as hostesses, and they saw to it that every one was having a good time. This affair could have easily been mistaken for a fashion show, for there were certainly some stunning gowns displayed. To describe them all would be impossible, but we will mention a few. Mrs. George Collier of Chicago was most charming in an orchid Canton crepe. Miss Vivian Moore of Chicago was quite petite in a salmon taffeta, Miss Alma Ferguson of Brooklyn was quite chic in a daffodill flowered silk, Miss Beatrice Skinner of Wilmington, Del., wore a yellow ruffled taffeta.

On the COLLEGE AMPUS THE Junior Prom, that much heralded, auspicious affair of affairs, turned out a complete success. The god Bacchus did truly smile benignly upon that youthful, dignified flock, gathered in the Renaissance Monday night; and a "Renny" decorated and adorned as never before, bathed in soft sensuous moonlight, with Vernon Andrades syncopators strutting their stuff to perfection. New York offered its best in feminine pulchritude and believe me it was a case of mutual appreciation. SECRETARIAL Lincoln School 261-269 West 125th St., N.Y.C.

Here's what a few upper classmen say concerning the "Prom." "Footney" Fontaine, class president, elucidates: "Hm. It was a most propitious event, conclusively evidenced by the prevailing atphere of joy and cheer." (How do you get that way, "Foots.") "Shorty" Carter, Washington's bid for fame, declares: "It was just too sad, while I lasted." Caesar Valdez, ladies' man from Noo York, says: "Not so bad. I've seen worse. Why in Phila. . . ." Herbie Harris, Harlem's bouncing baby boy, chirps: "As I remarked before: "Proms ain't no trouble at all, but this sure kept me busy." "Square Head" Longshore, the New York boy from Hokoben, N. J., orates: "Brother, I ain't no silver-tongued orator, but—I came, I saw, and gave up." Artie Thomas (Ossifer Pap), the preserver of freshmen's morals, says with a far-away look on his handsome mug: "It will go down in the history of little 'Artie's' what a wonderful, appreciative evening was spent in tripping the light fantastic Monday night." "Zeus" Frazer, the maple sap man from the South, specifies: "I dunno, but I'm just achally superfluous with it. The way those wimmin bothered me was awful." The doorman of the "Renny" was sure kept busy showing erring crashers the folly of such ways. Boy, he gave the sidewalk a wicked punishment. Undoubtedly the most outstanding, spectacular event of the Lincoln-Cheney track meet (we won 40-10), was the wonderful exhibition given by "Roddy" Lucas. Mr. Lucas, 'tis said, had a pressing engagement in Philadelphia, hence about noon hour he was observed sauntering nonchalantly along the Baltimore Pike, exquisitely, nay, grandiosiously attired in his gladdest of glad rags. Alas, those unfeeling drivers just nachally paid Mr. Lucas' frantic signaling no mind, and our hero strode sadly back to the campus to find the track meet in full progress. Viewing the efforts of the contestants with the deepest scorn, Roddy was heard to observe: "These guys ought to give up. They can't run." Bystanders prevailed upon Mr. Lucas to give them some evidence of his skill, so, nothing loath, our hero borrowed a pair of spikes and under the protection of numerous coats, discarded his flamboyant garments, to stand forth arrayed in the glory of green silk underwear. At the bark of the gun he tore masterfully around the track, underwear trailing in the breeze of his going. The going became rough. Oh so rough, and even more so under the encouraging shouts of "Beat him. Luckies!" "Oh, you Chesterfield king!" etc. At last Roddy staggered to the finishing line and just passed out. The time for the race? That, gentle readers, as Mr. Lucas forcefully declared, ain't none of your darn business! The only fly in the ointment, or as well bred Lincolnites say, the colored so and so in the wood pile), that tends to mar the complete happiness of college life is that 7 a.m. breakfast bell. Some poet made a crack about the glory of bells, but I'll bet he wasn't awakened every morning by the crashing and banging of an old bell. In a desperate attempt to give the reader his version of it, Mr. Lawrence Howard elucidates: As I drowse and dream and snore. Thinking of the world no more. That doggone ol' breakfast bell Comes, it seems, my joy to quell. Just as I am sleeping best— In the midst of sweetest rest— I can hear that nasty, fell, Temper-raising breakfast hell. Some one surely ought to try And persuade that cruel guy, Just to lay off for a spell, Pulling on that plagued bell. If that thing keeps ringing on My religion's good as gone Let me raise and loudly yell "Down with Lincoln's breakfast bell." The usual post mortem effects and comments after some unusual occurrence are again in order. The results of these Penn relays were a source of disappointment to many Lincolnites, yet "Stretch" Sydnor came through nobly, copping second place in the high jump. The mile relay on which rested our best hopes qualified for the finals, but were eliminated in the main scanza. We may comfort ourselves with the thought that everybody knew we were in the race. Better luck next time boys. NEVER BOTT A horse is what this charming and chic appearing damsel craves, ye Collegians—but he must be rangy, full of pep, and just rarin' to go.

So we see, it resulted just as it was alleged, hinted and rumored—Huff and Duffy and Woolfolk-Cullors affairs ended with a favorable Home sweet Home, but poor Jeff is where Luther had his poultry. The Sextette had a successful trip out East visiting most of the larger cities and didn't our good and patient friend Blozetta smile upon their return? One of these big "basso" smiles. Atta-boy Dr. Leo, surely we are grateful for these track instructions. We know you made a splendid record while at Howard and at the Penn relays, by some of those tips our boys may do likewise.
