"Porgy A Masterpiece"--London Daily Mail Our Plank More playgrounds, Greater cooperation Racial independence, and recognition. By Edward G. Perry "PORGY" has done it again. London is saying that it received the greatest ovation last evening of any show that has opened here in recent years. P Mr. Charles B. Cochran, London's foremost producer, in association with Crosby Gaige, is presenting the Theatre Guild's production "Porgy" here at His Majesty's Theatre, which is one of the most traditional theatres in London. The famous musical show "Chow Chin Chow" ran in this house for five years. Don't be surprised if you should hear of some of the Porgyites taking out citizenship papers. EDWARD PERRY writer, painter and actor—with "Porgy" author of feature story. Photo by Aldene The thrill of presenting the play here came yesterday morning for the cast, when they arrived at the theatre and of people waiting on the outside they arrived at the theatre and saw the long line of people waiting on the outside of the stage door. This was the queue that forms on the outside of foreign theatres, especially on the opening nights. The people who make up this line come to the theatre early in the morning or afternoon, bringing their lunch, and after they have gained entrance may have to stand. A Backstage just before the curtain hour the excitement was as great or possibly greater than it was on the opening night in New York.

It was more than a London first night of fashion, with its lords, ladies, other wealthy members of an aristocratic society, and many distinguished stage and literary personages, for the people had heard enough of this play ran's advance publicity) to stand But in the midst of these. The Interstate Jattler spectators there were two who were receiving the thrill of their lives—the parents of Rouben Mamoulian, the director of "Porgy." They came to London from Armenia to see this play that has made their son one of the greatest ac- claimed directors in the world. Some other well known celebrities in the audience were: H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, St. John Ervine, Lord and Lady Beverbrook as the guests of the Paul Robesons, who are in Berlin; the muchtalked of Lady Cook; Countee Cullen in company with the Hon. Mr. Asquith, son of the Lady Margot Asquith, Rex Littleboy, and Mr. and Mrs. Gates; Dubose and Dorothy Heyward, authors of the play; Noel Coward, Godfrey Tearle, Hugh Walpole, Athene Seyler, and Ernest Milton. After the second scene in the first act, the audience applauded and cheered for five minutes. But this was nothing compared to the applause following the end of the play. There were twelve curtain calls, and the audience did not begin to move until the tenth curtain, when the house lights were thrown on, but they clamored to the foot of the stage cheering their favorite actor in the play. actress, but in pleasant surroundings is very loving, and possesses a distinct charm. Photo by Lewis When it was all over, and some of the many distinguished personages in the audience had come backstage to meet and congratulate the actors, authors and executives of the Theatre Guild, there was one person who could not enjoy it all—Georgette Harvey, who was told of the death of her mother, who died Sunday, April 7, in New York at the Wiley Wilson Sanitarium. The papers have had many fine things to say about the play. Some of them were: The London Times: "It floods the theatre like a wave." The Morning Post: "We get some fine emotional acting from the principal players—particularly Miss Evelyn Ellis as Bess, and Mr. Frank Wilson as Porgy himself, and some splendid comedy from Miss Georgette Harvey as Maria." The Daily Telegraph: "Singling out individuals for special praise in such circumstances is an invidious task, for there is hardly one in the long cast who does not contribute some happy touch to the whole effect." The dean of London's critics, Alan Parsons, in The Daily Mall: "It is a masterpiece of lighting and production. . . The sound of those wonderful voices thrilled me." # Q LILY in "Porgy" is played by DOROTHY PAUL.

I THINK THAT I SHALL NEVER KNOW, THE LIKE OF FORMALS THEY CAN THROW. SIMPLY glorious was the Osbiny Formal last Friday evening, and gloriously decorated was the New Star Casino at which the affair was held. I have seen decorations and more, but the Osbiny's had something different—bless their hearts, they always have something different. The boxes and loges were covered, scallop fashion with heavy streamers of blue, white and gold satin, and back and forth across the hall from loge to loge, these streamers made their way. Fastened to the sides of the decorations trailing the boxes were branches of twig leaves, and tucked away within each were novelties for the patrons. Two huge canopies reached down from the ceiling, twig leaves covered with novelties, and a gold-fringed toy-like affair hung opposite each side of the canopies. The place was very beautifully decorated—just beautiful, that's all. TWELFTH CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST (Colored) NEW YORK, N. Y. Announces a Free Lecture on Christian Science By MR. PETER V.

The pla just beautiful, that's all. The dancers made merry, merrier and merriest. Dancing, visiting and sipping, more dancing, visiting and sipping, most dancing, visiting and sipping was the main attraction of the evening. The orchestra played as music never was played before, and their numbers were so long too. The lights grew dim, dimmer and dimmest, dreamy waltzes and all. The Club personnel was introduced one by one, and the president, Harry Henley, received the gladdest hand from the patrons. Two special dance numbers were set aside for club members only. The dancers—beautiful gowns—pastel shades, men dolled down in tuxedos (and feeling very stiff in their high collars), taffeta dresses, satins, georgettes, tulles, oh everything, just everything in creation. There were Norma Smith, Doris Vascelles, Helen Douglas, Coral Lowe, Julia Johnson, Billie Yates, Dorothy Wallace, Mary Burgess, Kate Thompson, Gwendolyn Brown, Viola Scudder, Gertrude Martin, Georgianna Simms, Mary Bryan, Sedella Ten Eyck, Anne Douglas, Evelyn Johnson, Denise McClellan, Skinny Washington, Joe Quinn, Murrell Proctor, H.

Louis Coles of the Lenox Avenue Club entertained with his dancing, and ain't he 'tweet, and Gwendolyn Posey, also of the same club, danced way up in the skies. Intermission—scrambling for novelties, and after the ultra most dancing, visiting and sipping stage was reached, home we flew to Harlem a la taxis, about two miles long, and to a chop suey, where we found banquet tables and carried on until the wee wee hours of the morning. Long live the Osbiny affairs—Long live the club. --- Harlem was all excited over the visit of Congressman and Mrs. Oscar De Priest and Mr. and Mrs. Staunton De Priest. So distinguished, so charming, so inspiring. We all ran our chests way out, and especially the native Chicagoans. They arrived Saturday evening to find a select group of friends and admirers, waiting at the home of their hostess, Mayme Anderson Pratt. The reminiscing and sipping extended far into the morning.

May 24 4. were the special guests of the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs at its Second Annual meeting at Mount Olivet Baptist Church. A mob turned out to hear the eminent statesman. Immedeatly following the public meeting, a banquet and reception was held at the Walker Studio. What a party! Every inch of the two floors was covered with tables and people. The De Priests sat in state at the head and foot of the long banquet table in the front room. Dr. Julia Coleman, president of the Federation, was mistress of ceremony. There were flowers, an enormous bouquet presented to Mrs. De Priest, by Stella Castro in behalf of the Chicago Club, smaller bunches from other friends and blossoms on every table. Speeches were interesting and many, and the guests after being served, moved from room to room addressing the friends. The hostesses, Dr. Gertrude Curtis, Stella Castro, A'Lelia Walker and Geraldyn Dismond, were kept busy greeting and seating the people who came and came, and busiest of all was Bob Douglas who managed the entire affair. From the Tower, they returned to Mrs. Pratt where more intimate friends completed the evening. The remaining two days of their visit brought more speaking in Brooklyn, a round to teas, dinners, motor trips, flowers, and meetings with the Mayor and distinguished citizens. Among their hosts and hostesses were Bernia Austin, Grace Kellogg, Major Jackson and Casper Holstein. So many invitations had to be refused that only the promise of another visit in the near future would pacify their admirers. * * * And before we leave the De Priests, the young Mrs. Stanton De Priest is beautiful, beautiful, and so sweet, and the mother of the cutest of sons. As for her better half, he may not be a Congressman, but he is handsome out of this world—tall and proper, has two intriguing moles (in his cheek) and a million dollar personality. Betcha he'll be a President! * * * Friday, May 3, was the night of nights for the dancing kiddies of Harlem. The Hope Day Nursery for Colored Children, Inc., Miss Maybelle McAdoo, president, staged its twenty-seventh annual May entertainment at Rockland Palace, and for the first time was presenting a prize contest children's amateur theatrical. Talent had poured in from Brooklyn, the Jerseys, and from every class in Harlem. The $140 in prizes was not the big incentive, although the winners and their gangs got a big kick out of the checks they received. The important thing was Mary E. MRS. OSCAR H. DePRIEST, wife of the Congressman from Illinois, who was entertained royally by the New York Federation of Women's Clubs of which Dr. Julia Coleman is President. She was the house guest of Mrs. Mayme Anderson Pratt. that for the first time the various classes could enter into friendly competition. 中 赤 血 Since dancing was to follow the show, the crowd began to gather early. By nine o'clock the judges, Sadie Warren-Davis, Geraldyn Dismand, Salena Tutt Whitney, J. Homer Tutt, Donald Heywood and J. Rosmond Johnson, were in the official box with instructions, papers and pencils. By nine-thirty the boxes, loges and reserved seats which covered the floor were filled with anxious parents, relatives, friends and a MRS. OSCAR H. DePRIEST Illinois, who was entertained eration of Women's Clubs of President. She was the house g Pratt. zillion children. By nine-forty-five the show was in full swing. And what a show! It put to shame many a performance that I have seen by so-called professionals. The poorest feature was the music. At times it seemed that the piano players were deliberately trying to gum up the works. And that goes for those who were supposed to have rehearsed with the numbers. But you couldn't down those youngsters, not even with off notes, wrong tempos or even missing sheets. They stepped and with a feeling. Of course, some of them were just cute awkward children who some day may be good dancers, but not a few with the poise, finish and personality that makes stars. ** The going was hard for the judges, but after much sweating of blood they sent in the decision in a sealed envelope and Salem Tutt Whitney, assisted by Ednar Barr of "Harlem," read the verdict and passed out the shekels. There were five classes with first and second prizes in each class. For solo jazz dancing, the honors went to Frank Habersham and Hazel Winfrey, both pupils of Grace Giles. Hazel is an acrobatic dancer of parts. As for Frank, who is about five years old and knee high to a duck, he is the most remarkable child I've seen in ages. A miniature Johnny Hudgins, blacked face, loose tail coat, big shoes, big white mitts, had a routine that was a scream. But his great charm lay in the fact that he is a born comedian, droll no end, and every movement a riot. He was the sensation of the show. ☆ ☆ ☆ For solo aesthetic work, Nannette Jones and Evelyn Wiggins won the honors. They are toe dancers and clever ones. Both attractive and good dancers. Nannette, who was trained by Miss Giles, never came off her toes or wavered while on the stage, and Evelyn, who was a close second, did a drummer boy dance, the creation of the popular Amanda Kemp. * * * The greatest difficulty came in selecting two dancing and singing teams. The first place was awarded to Marjorie Floyd and Bertha Perkins, two tiny patent leather kids, pupils of HEADACHES on January first can be easily avoided by joining our Christmas Club.

To be perfectly frank, they were both first prize winners—both excellent in their class. * * * For the ensembles in jazz dancing, the Bandana Babies, Miss Giles' troup, walked off with first honors.

NO SHORT WEIGHTS History and Practice of Pharmacy History and Practice of Pharmacy By OLIVER N. LA MOBELL, Ph. G. M.P.S., Eng. I have hitherto explained the meaning of the word "Galemeal," and its "originator," and touched lightly on the subject of "Materia Medica," having given its definition and illustrated same by examples. Presently I will demonstrate to you the invalidity of these subjects stated below to pharmacy. 1. "Material Medica": (already defined and examples illustrated). 2. "Botany": The science which treats of plants. 3. "Pharmacognosy": This science treats of the commerce, collection, identification, valuation and preservation of crude drugs, and of raw materials of vegetable and animal kingdom. Botany, strictly speaking, is a wide science and is divided into various parts, which parts are comprised of several subdivisions, and in one of the subdivisions pharmacy is interested, which is called pharmaceutical botany, and considers plants or their parts with reference to their use as drugs. The word "Pharmacognosy" was introduced by Sedler in 1815, and translated literally means the science of Drug and Medicine (Pharmacognosy—Latin from Cognosco—know, and Pharmacy). Since these subjects pertain to plants, etc., it will be well for those who may not have known that most of the crude drugs of vegetable origin used medicinally are obtained from the following parts of plants, viz.: roots, barks, stems, leaves, and flowers, and are then manufactured into different preparations by means of different processes. Certain crude drugs if used in this state the effect may sometimes prove very dangerous, because most of them contain certain active principles in which the action lies; therefore these processes are used in order to extract the portions used medicinally and standardize the product (preparation) according to physiological assay; while others are standardized chemically to precipitate the active constituent out of the 'mother liquor,' then dried and refined. (This refers to powdered drugs only.) When liquid drugs are chemically assayed, this is done to protect the active principals in the "mother liquor" or solution, from precipitation, deterioration and to preserve it; also to ascertain accurately that such a preparation contains a certain percentage of total active constituents as required by the National Pharmacopoea (the official book of standards). of the season . . . for this was the first time a large college prom had been held in New York. . .

THE INTER-STATE TATTLER SYPHILITIC lesions upon the tongue, lips, and tonsils are manifestations of the diseases in the digestive tract. Ulceration and perforation of the hard and soft palate are frequently seen, causing difficulty in speech and the backward flowing of undigested food from the mouth in through the nose. [Image of a man with a serious expression, wearing a suit and tie.] Syphilitic tumors of the esophagus (part of the digestive tract between the mouth and the stomach), may cause contraction and difficult swallowing of food. Syphilis of the stomach is not so rare as formerly supposed. This has been brought about by the use of the X-ray and Wassermann test in the routine examination of the stomach diseases. Syphilitic tumors of the stomach may cause extensive ulcers with hemorrhages and impairment of digestion. Ulcerations of syphilitic character have occurred in the intestine, frequently resulting in obstruction or perforation, followed by peritonitis. Syphilitic tumors may invade the rectum. These may break down into extensive ulcers, which may completely encircle the rectum and give rise to fistulae (false passage of feces). Such ulcers occasion a bad smelling discharge with great pains on passage of the stools. As healing by scar formation and contraction takes place, the rectum is constricted, forming a stricture, so materially as to interfere with the passage of feces, and alternate constipation and diarrhea occur. The intestine above the stricture is dilated and ulcerated, and the patient usually dies from results of poisons accumulated in the intestines. No one needs to have tuberculosis. Those who do have it have a good chance to get well if they begin treatment early. Information is free.

AND it came to pass that on Tuesday evening, April 30th, at the New Madison Square Garden, the Monarch Elks were in full sway. And sway is just the correct word. All the brother and sister Elks, and their brothers and sisters and girl friends and boy friends were on parade before the world. Not as many as before, but to the person who witnessed such an affair for the first time, those who did not attend were not missed. Even Jimmy—er, pardon—His Honor, Mayor Walker, Martin Healey and many other city officials paid ohmage to the Monarchs with their presence, occupied a box and stayed longer than a hot minute. The music was typical of Monarch Lodge, and the band stand was where the dancers crowded. Gowns were too numerous to describe and of every style from 1899 to April 30th, 1929. The males were attired in evening (full) dress and tux. And, everyone present, who ever partook of that which produces a covering of vine leaves, had saved his or her thirst for the evening, and you can be assured the thirst was then quenched—and how!

The Theatre BENNIE BUTLER, Theatrical Editor At The Lafayette At The Lincoln For those who may wish to go cabareting earlier in the evening than ordinarily is the custom, we recommend the Lincoln Theatre as the place to be regaled with snappy tunes, clever hoofing and good comedy. There you will find "Club Harlem's" classy floor show with Hanna Sylvester, Dewey (Limehouse) Brown, Pedro Lane, "Flea" Gray, "Speedy" Wilson, Pearl Darrell, Ellis and Perry and the clever Octavia Sumner. Miss Sumner who is expected to join the vehicle as we go to press, has endeared herself to Lincolnites by her splendid acting and genial disposition. This production, one of the best floor shows in the nite life of this city, was produced by Pedro Lane. This is his first attempt to our knowledge to present a revue for a theatre and he has exceeded expectations. The feature photoplay for the week is Colleen Moore's latest romantic drama "Synthetic Sin." With the possible exception of "Lilac Time" this is Colleen Moore's greatest picture. At The Alhambra "Sandy" Burns is still the big feature of the Alhambra Players and seems to be growing even more popular with the passing weeks. Sandy is featured in another contraption called the "French Cafe." Supporting Sandy we find that inimitable artist, Amanda Randolph and Willie Markham in a comedy sketch that's a pippin. "Wild Mexico" is a drama of the international border. The shots freely fired by the revolutionists keep everybody dodging. The adventures and perils of a young American newspaper reporter—his encounters with a "bad man"—and his winning at last of the "Rose of Mexico"—all involve much excitement. Petite Tillie Marshall is captivating. George Wiltshire as "Bad Bill" is a terror as a quick-shooting cowboy, carrying the fun right along to the finale. "The Cheaters" with the daring and handsome Pat O'Malley is the picture feature. At the Wednesday midnight show the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs had an immense theatre party. TALKING PICTURES MUSICAL COMEDIES "AMERICA'S LEADING COLORED THEATRE" LAFAYETTE 7th AVE. at 132nd ST. THIS WEEK (UP TO SUNDAY, MAY 12, INCL.)

O. Harris is trying his hand at the producing game this week and we are forced to admit that he has put together a creditable bit of entertainment. The program at the Lafayette Theatre is well up to the standard of this MILDRED DAWSON who was heard by thousands of "Tattler Radio" hour lovers a fortnight ago. Miss Dawson is an artist of great potentialities, a type that we shall offer to you from time to time. P house for the ensuing week. In addition to the Harris musical comedy vehicle, there's another great all-talkie, a Vitaphone production entitled "Queen of the Night Clubs" and a Vitaphone one act drama called "The Lash." The title of Harris' revue is "At The Breakfast Dance." He has a cast of clever entertainers if not any too well known. The singing, dancing and comedy features are all very good and offer nice entertainment. In addition to his own people, the members of his quartet known as the Jubilee Exposition Four and Bobby Harris, he has E. E. Pugh, Elizabeth Keys, Chick Fisher, Foster and Bishop, the Hightower Trio, Ferguson and Gregory and Billy Mitchell and his pretty gals. The feature of the photoplay program is the 100 per cent All Talking Vitaphone super drama "Queen of the Night Clubs." Texas Guinan the most famous of all night club hostesses is the star. "Queen of the Night Clubs" is a gripping murder mystery drama. The action is laid in Tex Guinan's famous Salon Royale with the result that the picture combines one of the most fascinating stories ever put into pictures with a visit to New York's most elaborate, daring and exclusive night club. The acting and the talking of the cast enhances the fascination of the story—that of a young man who is sent into the shadow of the electric chair for a murder he did not commit. At The Roosevelt "The Red Sword," a stirring drama of the days when the Cossack's whip whistled in Russia, is the feature attraction scheduled for the Roosevelt Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 11, 12 and 13. Marion Nixon, William Collier, Jr. and Carmel Myers are the stars. "The Red Sword" is a story of pagan passion, of riotous revelry and stirring action. On Tuesday and Wednesday, May 14 and 15, two big features will be presented: "The Shady Lady," a sensational underworld drama starring Phyllis Haver, Louis Wolheim THE NEW YORK TIMES ANDY PENDELTON, former crack sprinter of P. S. 10, Bronx, and Alpha Physical Culture Club who was enjoyed by Tattler Radio Hour fans. Andy is a tenor soloist and banjoist of "Fess Williams's" Savoy Orchestra, also an Okeh recording artist. Photo by Aldene and Robert Armstrong and Tom Mix in "Rough Riding Romance." On Thursday and Friday, May 16 and 17, the program will also consist of two features combining a wealth of drama, comedy and mile-a-minute action. These two features are "Shanghai Rose" starring Irene Rich and "The Haunted House" a spooky, creepy, comedy-drama. "Shanghai Rose" is the story of a beautiful woman who is trapped in the dreaded dens of San Francisco's Chinatown. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 18, 19 and 20, the Roosevelt will have the pleasure of presenting one of the season's finest photoplays. This is "The Shakedown" which the critics have declared as the greatest human interest drama of the season. At The New Douglas Theatre Two big first run photoplay features will be presented at the New Douglas (Harlem's largest and finest motion picture theatre) this coming Saturday, Sunday and Monday. These are Victor MacLaglen in "Strong Boy" with Leatrice Joy and Clyde Cook" and "The Devil's Chaplain," a gripping version of the well-known book.

And none, perhaps, would care to assert that his new white tonneau, with chauffeur to match, is not a brave and colorful bit of scenery. The chauffeur's complexion matches the enamel of the car, not the epidemis of its owner. It's a Packard. The report that the upholstery of the tonneau and the livery of the chauffeur are chocolate-colored has not been corroborated by my scouts. Nevertheless it's a color scheme to which the mahogany finish of Jules, en route, would not add a discordant note. ently, when oldtimers of the stage get to live in their glasses and reminiscences in the crouper of the Southland, likes to tell the played a conspicuous part. Mr. Y is not a Frequently, when oldtimers of the stage get together, with juniper juice in their glasses and reminiscences in the air, Mr. Y, an old trouper of the Southland, likes to tell this story in which he played a conspicuous part. Mr. Y is not an actor any more, but a substantial property holder who lives up Edgecomb Avenue way. He was never very well known, professionally, in New York. Somehow his line never clicked in the big city. But in the sticks he was a wow, which accounts for his present prosperity. At the outset of his career, however, he had one prolonged spell of hard luck. He was traveling with a tent show through a part of Mississippi where you can still put a lighted candle under an inverted milk bottle and make the natives believe it is an electric light. In one of the villages of the region Mr. Y, whom nobody called mister then, had the misfortune to break his leg. The owner of the show took him to the local doctor for repairs, and when the leg had been splinted left him in the house of a buxom widow, assuring her that he would pay her well if she would take care of his employee, Mr. Y. The next day the showman left town and neither Mr. Y nor the widow ever heard of him again. But the widow was a kindly woman who did not let the manager's doublecrossing harden her heart toward the sick man left stranded in her house. Although she knew he had no money to pay her with, she nursed Mr. Y till his leg was completely well. "Don't you worry 'bout payin' me," she often told him. "The Lord never lets good deeds go without their reward. He will pay me in his own time and way." But Mr. Y did not leave it to the Lord to pay his debts. When he was able to travel with a show again he sent to the widow a weekly money order until his total payment amounted to $200. Then he considered himself even with his benefactor and ceased corresponding with her. Years passed. Mr. Y, an ever popular favorite of Dixie audiences, made money in the South and invested it in Northern real estate. Finally he felt that he had enough laid by to quit show business and settle down. Which he did. Also he married. Although he could well afford a tour abroad, both he and his bride thought it would be a fetching bit of sentiment to spend their honeymoon revisiting the scenes of his professional successes. The trip was an enjoyable one, as most sensimental journeys are, unmarred by a single mishap until they reached the village where, years ago, Mr. Y had been stranded with the broken leg. "This place," he explained to his bride," Is the scene of my fondest recollection. "If it had not been for the kindness shown me by an old woman of this village I would have completely lost my faith in human nature." "And there's the house right across the way. Ah! Look! There's my old friend now. Still washing clothes in the front yard, just as she used to do years ago." By that time Mr. Y and his bride had reached the yard, but the widow, looking up from her suds, did not recognize him. "Ah, auntie, I see you don't recognize me," Mr. Y observed. "Can't say as I do," the widow replied. Then she wrinkled her brow and tried to recollect. "Your face seems familiar all right," she said at last. "But I can't quite place you." "Now think hard, auntie," Mr. Y urged. "Don't you remember the actor with a broken leg who was stranded here some years ago? The one you took such good care of even though you knew he didn't have a cent to pay you for your trouble?" The widow broke out in a loud laugh of recognition. "Sure, I remember you now," she declared. Then she turned her head and shouted to someone in the house. "Corn-e-ellius! Corneellius!" Presently a lad of about ten summers appeared in the door. "What you want, ma?" he asked. "Cornelius," the widow called, "come on out here, chile, and see your pal!" LEARN TO DANCE To be a member of society, you must dance.

I had been told any number of times that this picture was flattering to the original subject. Some even made bold to say that I had bribed my photographer to falsify the facts. Others claimed that it was a case of trick photography. However, Mr. Damroth rec ognized me from the photo, so I'll not question the honesty of the Vithana Studio people or their cameras. This Mr. Damroth impressed me rather favor- ably. He’s entirely so different from his col- league, Mr. Bob Martini, who gives me the creeps nmesmwmes bane TF ana twin Oi Re a em tion reiative to the Aimambra Dramatic Players and the difficulty of the work. Mr. Damroth has ambitions but he’s heavily handicapped. He does not engage the people he has - to train and direct. Bob Martini does all the hiring and firing. This is:a serious handicap to a dramatic director, in more ways than one. At the present time Mr. Damroth has but two people to my knowledge, with any real dramatic training. If given a free hand, greater latitude, I believe that Mr. Dam- roth will give Harlemites better dramatic sketches. [I was agree- ably surprised to know that the Alhambra had an instructor for the presentation of the tabloid dramas. What’s more, I am glad to pass this interesting information on to my readers. It is an indication that the managers of this house are progressive and are seeking to give the local public ‘the best possible. But Mr. Damroth should not be handicapped in the work. He should be given every opportunity to improve the quality of entertain- ment. It is decidedly unfair to make him subordinate to one who was never much more than a handyman with the burlesque wheel. Mr. Damroth impressed me as being friendly, intelligent, con- scientious and open-minded. There is nothing reminiscent of the rodent about him. But at this time I am not in a position to judge of his ability as a director. He has invited me to visit him at the theatre which I expect to do sometime soon. After two or three such visits I’ll be in a position to give my Opinion of his efforts, But I feel that the money paid him is well spent. He is not egostitic, blatant, hostile. He does not seek to impress with his importance or to be tyrannical. And I am certain that he would not take an unfair advantage of any girl because of his position, as others have done. That is the most despicable thing that a man can be guilty of. I believe that Mr. Damroth will make friends for the house and the management. He'll win the respect of the profession and the admiration of the public. In short, he’ll prove a valuable asset. DE! GIGGER AND BETTER SHOWS !

Harris Company that is knocking 'em dead at the Lafayette Theatre aren't real charmers—and how. Photo by Saulters as to their health and the cause for his dining out. This is his answer: "You know, I have a better job now than when I last saw you. Of course, it has one bad feature and that is that it requires my presence on the premises night and day, and has no accommodation for my wife and children. It is much easier for my wife now that she doesn't have to take care of my meals and clothes and gives her more time with the children. I am superintendent of No.——St. Nicholas Avenue. All I have to do is make repairs, mop the halls, keep the hall windows and walls clean, sweep the sidewalk, pull the garbage, set out the ash cans and see to the furnace in winter and the hot water store in summer.. Then I have the rest of the day to myself, just so I stay near in case something goes wrong. I get one day off a month, $80 a month and my room." He called that a good job. I certainly wanted to ask him what he was doing and what his salary was previous to his landing that slave proposition. Anyway, that is why I say, the wages of today is a sin and we are all fools for not seeing to it that improvements are made at every possible opportunity. Now try that on your banjo.

A TRIAL WILL CONVINCE YOU The Managerment of Harlem's Most Modern and Up-To-Date RESTAURANT Invites Your Patronage $ "Phil Edwards Peer of Half Milers" PHIL EDWARDS, quiet spoken track Captain of New York University, stands alone as the peer of 880 yard runners since the halcyon days of Melvin Sheppard, Bromilow, Harry Gissing, et al. Like Paavo Nurmi, dubbed the 'Abo Antelope,' because of his flawless striding that is clocklike in its regularity, Phil is the acme of sprinting perfection once he sets his heart upon catching the field. Page Twelve ALVIN J. MOSES --- During the running of the classic Penn Relays at Philadelphia, last week, the picturesque British Guinian pulled a stunt that still has track followers wagging their heads in wonderment. Twice on the opening day New York University's peerless captain ran the half mile around 1.52 seconds, and in making up 29 of the 30 yard handicap that Gist of Chicago University started off with on that never to be forgotten last leg of the College two mile relay championships, Edwards was clocked in 1.53 and a fraction. It isn't in the log of human events for an athlete to reel off two such half miles as Phil did on one day, to come back the next with a performance close to the best existing figures for the distance — but that's just what the dashing Colored super-star did before packed stands that rose as one man to cheer him to the echo. Outshines Meredith's Feats Dr. Otto Peltzer, Lloyd H. Hahn, the husky Nebraska farmer of leisure, Geist, Ball, Canadian countryman of Phil's, and Safri Martin, present World's record holder for the distance, have never approached the sprinting feats of the lionhearted Edwards on successive afternoons. Ted Meredith, now a journalist of note, who was the sensation of the 1912 Swedish Olympics and one of the immortals of American track history, was rated the "Man O' War" of the cinderpath prior to the advent of the greyhound Edwards, Meredith, built along the general lines of a football player, was practically unbeatable at distances from the quarter mile to the half. The former University of Pennsylvania ace won undying fame when he outfooted Frank Sloman, Binga Dismond, and a classy field to the tape in 47 seconds for the double furlong and a few nights later ran a bangup half mile in better than 1.53. The 440 figures that equalled the age long record of Maxey Long was not allowed because of a terrific windstorm at the back of the runners. In the 1912 Olympic 800 meters test, Meredith staged a dramatic finish to lick Mel Sheppard and Hans Braun of Germany right at the tape after these two worthies had raced themselves into a state of exhaustion fighting each other down the stretch. We digressed in this manner just to show you that build alone will not carry an athlete to the topmost rung of the ladder of fame in any branch of athletics. Edwards, often described by contemporary scribes as being of herculean lines, is in reality a man of only average build. ```markdown ``` THE career of Phil Edwards reads more like a Frank Merriwell story. Coach Von Elling of New York University calls Phil the finest type of athlete any college has produced in the last quarter century, his mates fairly worshipping him as in the case of still another famous middle distance star of our race, John B. Taylor, who matriculated at U. of P. Finis will not be written to his career for quite some years to come, and it according to current reports he enters McGill University of Montreal, Canada, to take up medicine, "The Defender Girls." Remember how these lithe limbed lassies delighted you during the late Basketball Season?—Nearly all of them go in for Spring and Summer sports excelling in Tennis, Swimming, Hiking, and Golf. Courtesy of Campbell Studio all existing records for the double furlong, 500 yards, 600 and 660 yards, 800 meters, the half mile and 1000 yard runs are at his mercy. Remember how these lithe limbs all of them go in for Spring an Recalls Prowess of Dismond Binga Dismond, magnificently thewed quarter mile sprinting sensation of Chicago University, was the finest quarter miler we have produced, opinion leaning to J. B. Taylor to the contrary notwithstanding. After all every thing is by comparison, and only Ted Meredith of modern double furlong racers of the past three decades compares with the copper colored giant who is now one of the best known physicians in New York. Allan Woodring and Charley Ridpath of Syracuse University, a wonder at distances from the 100 meters right on up to the quarter, was the nearest approach to Dismond and Meredith in the matter of consistent performances. This writer saw the lion hearted Dismond win the classic "Suburban" quarter some years ago, trouncing to the queen's taste a field that numbered the cream of America's quarter mile runners. In 1916 while a member of Chicago University's track team, Dismond raced 440 yards around two turns in the phenomenal time of 47 and 2-5 seconds, — this feat still stands as a record being shared by Ted Meredith of the University of Pennsylvania. ```markdown ``` Maxey Long, Charley Reidpath, Allan Woodring, Frank Sloman, By Alvin J. Moses Ted. Meredith, and Binga Dismond, are a sextette of quarter milers whom we are inclined to rate the greatest that ever lived. Sloman, when but a veritable youth, flew over the 440 yard course in the dizzy time of 47 seconds flat in annexing the Junior Championship of America, back in 1915, while sporting the silks of the Olympic Club of San Francisco, California. Reidpath, who was a better runner in your humble correspondent's opinion, than Woodring or Cecil Cooke (all three hailed from Syracuse University), won the 400 meter event for America at the 1928-1929 egender Girls." ed lassies delighted you during the d Summer sports excelling in Tenn 1912 Olympic games held in Sweden. Ray Barbuti, stormy petrel of Amateur Athletics just missed this great array—he took nothing from anyone that ever raced in the matter of fighting heart, and also is an alumnus of Syracuse University, and an Olympic champion. * * * Moderns Better Students IN the matter of running technique alone, are modern runners from 40 yards up to the marathon, the superior of those greats who flourished along the early '80s. Lon Myers, — a name to conjure with, was a record holder at 50 yards, a World's wonder at 440, a marvel at the half, and a champion at the mile. Still to-day sport commentators seldom recall the name of the great Lawrence E. Myers (white), whom athletic circles worshipped merely as "Lon," a full Licked World's Best LOS ANGELES, May 4. Charles Borah, University of Southern California, and Frank Wykoff, Glendale Junior, College; two of the fastest dash men in America, went down to defeat in the feature race before the flying feet of Nathaniel George, Whittier College, Negro star. George's time was 9:4-5 seconds for the 100 yard dash. --- decade before this scribe was born. He was the "Nonpareil" of the cinderpath, — established twenty-two Amateur marks, some of them American, some of them World standards, and when his race was run, left behind a saga of athletic prowess which sang of him as the GREATEST ALL AROUND performer in the history of track athletics. He weighed only 117 pounds in his togs—this little running machine from Richmond, Virginia, to stir the North with a series of feats which was to make his fame international, as in the case of our own Phil Edwards. He was a sprinter, and yet a miler. And not content with record breaking on the flat, Lou took unto himself the hurdle The late Basketball Season?—Nearly Dennis, Swimming, Hiking, and Golf. Courtesy of Campbell Studio marks for one quarter and one sixth miles. His was true versatility. Thrice Myers went to England to show the Britons how it was done, and English athletes profited no little by watching the stout hearted star from Virginia. His style was the apotheosis of grace and beauty. And he never really did any training—not the kind of preparation which our Edwards's and Peltzers undergo these days. --- Beaten by George He never in his prime permitted himself to go absolutely out of shape, but he never was truly on edge, not even for the memorable test with W. G. George, the great English miler, who beat Lon in a race which stands out as one of the classics of American track history. It was on November 11th, 1882, at the old Polo Grounds at Fifth Avenue and 110th Street that Myer's met George, to be defeated in the spaning time for that day of 4.21 2-5. Most of the present day school boys approach this time. * * * Ran Wonderful Quarter One of the greatest performances on record was Myers's 48 3-5 seconds for the quarter mile over the eight lap track of the old Manhattan Athletic Club at Eighth Avenue and Fifty Sixth Street. THE INTER-STATE TATTLE James Evans Easily Masters Arthur Woods Displaying a brand of pocket billiards that had the house in a constant salvo of applause, Jim Evans, world's colored pocket billiards champion and challenger for Taberski's crown, fairly swamped Arthur Woods in a three block match that ended last Friday evening. Woods, one of the hardest nuts in the business to crack, never seemed able to get started in the face of the brilliant and consistent shooting of the colored wizard. On Wednesday the opening night of the 375 point match that was played in blocks of 125 points each, Woods got off in front by six balls, the scores being Woods 128 to Evans's 122. It was on Thursday night that Jimmy practically sewed up the contest by some of the finest position and safety playing Harlemites have ever witnessed, winning the block for the night, 134 markers to the rather startling average for Woods of but 17. In the concluding block Evans amased a beautiful run of 50 before missing because of resort to the bridge on a break shot. The fourteen ball was too straight for Evans to execute his famous "scatter shot." He might have run a hundred or more had this not occurred. The crowded house went wild after Jimmy executed this masterful run, and a few seconds later he went out to win overwhelmingly over one of the greatest living pocket billiardists to the tune of 375 to 195. Wotta player, mates. In next week's issue a special feature story taking up practically the entire page will tell of Mr. Evans's match with Erwin Rudolph on May 16, 17 and 18.

Still more weddings, Dances and then those nice little indoor picnics. Campus Comments On last Friday evening the Klever Klub gave their annual dance at Waltz dream. From what we learn it was a most creditable affair, and, then why shouldn't it have been? A club that is made up of some of Philadelphia's popular maids and matrons would draw a nice gathering under almost any conditions. We learn that another ladies' club, known as Les Ultra Dames, have sent out invitations for a formal dance to be held at Claver's, on Wednesday, May 8th. We must say that this club always gives nice affairs and they always enjoy a nice attendance. We have often been asked what is the connection between Les Ultra Dames and the "Chesterfields", well, we will try to explain that. Some of the members of the "Chesterfields" wives are members of Les Ultra Dames. The Tattler will be at Les Ultra Dames dance, so you can expect to hear what it was all about.

We can't say we were surprised to hear of Miss Alberta Hughes' engagement to Mr. Leon R. Payne. This engagement has been in our minds for some time. Miss Hughes is well known in North Philadelphia social circles, and Leon, you know, is one of those Payne brothers, that just believe in staying away from the Atlas. We understand Leon is a "Lion Tamer."

"TATTLERS" Can be purchased in PHILADELPHIA from MR. J. H. GRAY 1017 Lombard Street Campus Comments by Ed. Mais THE Lincoln University Junior "Prom" is past history, but the pleasant thoughts of a memorable evening well spent will ever linger in the minds of all gathered at that collegiate affair. Possibly a more authentic report, or should I say, a view of the "Prom" through the eyes of an upperclassman would be interesting. Cecil Valdez, a junior in good standing, regular "Beau Brummel" and everythin', comments thusly: THE NEW YORKER The Prom was acclaimed one of the outstanding hits of the social season and the Lincoln Juniors put over an affair that will be hard to duplicate. The music was just too torrid, Vernon Andrades' rendering of "four or five times" and "Tight like that" took the place by storm. Pretty damsels from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Camden and New York were much in evidence. Some of the local coeds seen doing their stuff on the dance floor were Rae Ollley, Ruth Cotton, Anna Small. Edith Wormley, Thelma Yancey, Ethel Harris, Edna Hazelwood, Helen Imrie. Sadella Ten Eyck, Hermene Brown, Elsie Hunter and the petite Jean Louise Simons from Brooklyn, Peggy Abrams, Virgil Jewell, Lillian Evans, Laurette Noisette and Louise Parrott. James Murphy brought his girl, Charlotte Watson, all the way from Baltimore just to be at the Prom (ain't love grand). The mighty John B. Green brought his light of love, Miss Daisy Lewis, from Long Island. S'tew bad. Ralph Baker brought the boys plenty of form. Full dress outfit, high hat and a cane. Smooth kid, that. He brought along the gorgeous Beatrice Miller from Philadelphia. Hayes Burnett was all taken up with the bootiful and petite Irma Adams; and incidentally John "Barrymore" Freeman. Kirk Jackson and Tony Sheftall had to be dragged away from the Gotham City by force and as usual it's always the woman in the case. After the affair, Gladys Thompson, Edna Loving, Dot Tabourne, Rae Olley, Louise Truett, Anna Small and the worst halfs slipped in a chop suye joint for a bite of slop suey and to make a little whoopee.

The bumping line began to function when the orchestra played "four or five times" and it got so good to the gang that nothing would do but an encore and I mean it was really "tight like that." The mighty Press Williams was in his glory. I bet that he doesn't remember half what he did. Artie "Officer" Thomas was very much there. U. S. Tate showed the boys how to bump. Summing it up in a few words, the Lincoln Prom was the affair of affairs. CECIL VALDEZ * * * Well, that's that. Mr. George William Hunter declares that I am a "no count" bum for calling him "Kid Sloppy." I 'pologize, George. Seems as tho' the fellows call him "G.

Wilberforce University By the I's THE inhabitants of this intellectual center are still raving over the recent presentation of the 1929 Sensations in beautiful Galloway Hall. It is needles to say but a large bit of the success of this year's extravaganza was due to the efforts of Browne and Valentine, the local producers. Rudy Thomas from Harlem outdid the one and only Fess Williams in the capacity of Master of Ceremony. Connie Abernathy smiled and danced her way into instant popularity which is sure to be everlasting in these parts. Bill Spriggs and Sonny Hickman impersonated Houdini and Thurston and were a riot even though they were not so mystifying. Jew Harrington and His Campus Revelers executed the musical score in the big time style. On the whole the show was 100 per cent entertaining. The 1929 Track season was inaugurated with a smashing victory over Dayton by our own Varsity. Several new stars were discovered and plans are all set for an invasion of Hampton and Howard.

Dr. Jones made the presentation and an old time pep meeting took place after the regular devotionals. Due honor was paid to Coaches Graves, Lane, Hall and Corrothers. Charles "Sonny" Hickman" the local press agent extraordinary for the Wilberforce Press Service, is managing a Popularity Contest to determine the most popular male and female student at the Annual Commencement Ball in Springfield this June. All the fair sex are storming his stronghold but it is only going to be on the level. EE .... ur Skin Is s Lighter untly! This new discovery is called Fan Tan Whitening Creme. Test it at our risk.

By Jackie Nobile A brazezy Westerner (Lonesome Heart Editor can "scandalize his name" cause she's one of 'em, too), brazes into the city of tall buildings and tall achievements.) "Being out of the middle West only ten months and working nights, I find it quite hard to come in contact with the kind of girls I would like to meet. "I could appreciate, to say the least, having even a writing acquaintance with some one that is spending lonely hours. Would like for her to be between the ages of 28-25. She need not be professional. "I am 25, five ft. 10 inches tall, brown skin and weigh 170. Am fond of good shows and movies and go to the dance halls occasionally." --- (If you can keep your head when those about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you . . . " says the poet.) Last week saw the reception by the L. H. Editor, of the first disagreeable letter of the year. It had to do with a certain two dollars which a prospective member of the L. H. Club sent in. The receiver of the money does not go to the office but once a week—lives in the country—hence the message concerning membership was not placed in her hands until she arrived in the city. This, it seems, was not soon enough for the money-sender; consequently, she, in work-a-day parlance, laid the Jackie Nobile out. Said Jackie, however, has in mind the words of Rudyard Kipling. --- (A rather snappy letter comes from one of the boys inside. I give it space for your pleasure in reading it.) "I guess the girls think I am very choicey about whom I want as I always ask for the widows. I have never been married but I like a woman that is well—experienced in life. Don't think because I am in the Western part of Pennsylvania that I am a cowboy and like them all wind. I like them that are already tame and gentle. "I am in prison. I know that doesn't sound so good but I guess you all know that we don't come to prison for what we do, we come for getting caught. I am not the only one that has done wrong but some good girl can reform me if she wishes to. You can tame a wild bird but you have to catch him first. Then, you can train him to suit yourself and he will know his mistress from anyone else. He will mind her and be her pet. I think I will make a real good pet because I have been caged up for sometime. It will be another year before I am tame enough to be turned out. 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. "I will be 25 when I am free; am five ft. 6, weight 143, dark brownskin, black hair. Some people call me an artist. I don't know if I am or not. I do paint all kinds of pictures on wood. (The writer makes laundry bags and paints heads for the top of them). One of my ladies I painted on wood I took from the March 29th issue of Tattler. If the lady can identify this picture as herself (Jackle Nibile has the picture) I will give it to her. I don't know if she is a Lonely Heart, but she may write me if she wishes and tell me she likes the picture and if it is like her." --- (We are graced by a State University student of Langston, Oklahoma.) "In reading the Tattler I noticed you have helped several Lonesome Hearts to find companions. I wonder if you would be so kind as to help me find a friend? "I am a college girl but very, very lonesome. I am five ft. 7 inches, high brown complexion and considered a 'good model.' My age is 23. "I would like to get in touch with a man about 30-32 years old, brown skin, height about 5 ft. 10 in. or 6 ft. and of a quiet disposition—not exactly modern but 'modest'; and one that would be a true friend, prefer an out-of-town man." ```markdown ``` (Tattler is likely to become somewhat inflated when it reads all of the lovely things said about it by our enthusiastic commentator.) "I must congratulate you on your wonderful paper. I'm glad to read about and know of the intellectual, efficient and professional Negroes described in your magazine. I think the Inter-State Tattler is the most wonderful thing that ever happened. I don't know how long it's been happening but its wonderful. Hurrah for the Inter-State Tattler. Show the white race what Negroes can do if given the chance. God bless you and all that's connected with the Tattler. "I have read my second Tattler and have decided to appeal to you for I am very lonesome. I have no relations, no friends, in fact, nobody but myself. Am very discouraged at times. I am hoping that you can find me a nice refined gentleman friend. "I am dark complexion, five ft. 4, weigh about 139 lbs.—pleasingly plump, 23 years old, fond of music and all sports. Would appreciate a young man between the ages of 25-30." --- (Time stands still and yleys the march of men and events. Men declare they are waiting for the passing of time.) "My time will be up in 1930 and I want to meet a good girl that wants to get married. If I find her, I will do the right thing by her. The person I had did not do right by me. I worked all the time and gave her my money; she gave it to someone else—that's why I am here. 1 am 4:00 p. 1 pm, weigh 150 lbs., age 21. Would like girl about 25." (We know how 'tis.) "I'm so terribly lonesome that I'm about to bring my heart appeals to you. I need a pal and I want him real soon. I've a strict father, so you see it's 'oh so tight.' "I'm 16, but you know how 'tis. I'm longing for a true pal, Jackie, and if you can help me find him you will make me very happy. I'm longing for some one to drive my blues away. Have a sweet disposition, am a dark brown-skin girl, have no weakness except a lonesome heart; weight 128 lbs., five ft 4 in. tall. "My pal must be tall, slim, handsome and must be at least 19-25. He must also be kind, cheerful and loving." --- (Real friends are rather to be chosen than great riches.) "After reading your Lonesome Heart column, I am going to take a chance, hoping you can find me some nice young lady. She must be between the ages of 16-19, about five feet, 4 inches, brownskin or lighter, weight about 115 lbs., with good quality of hair. Desire one who would be a real friend. "I am five ft. 9 inches, light brownskin, weigh 130 lbs., brown eyes, black hair, nice dresser and like dancing. Willing to exchange photos." --- (There's a terrible fuss made about personality nowadays. Beauty, which played such a part in Keat's day is almost forgotten in the rush for education and indi-duality.) "I've read your Lonesome Heart Column so long until I have decided to write to you. "I hail from the 'Quaker City,' so as it is the city of brotherly love, I think I could help keep some one from being lonely. "I am small—weight 100 lbs. but not skinny. Am brownskin have black hair. Do not drink or smoke but like a nice time. I think I would like to correspond with the young man who hails from the 'Lone Star' state, as he seems to be my type. "Oh, I forgot to state my age. Well, here goes—I am 28. My type is brownskin or lighter, tall, not heavy. Must have a good education and pleasing personality." * * * (The interesting letter following is going forward to one who thinks herself very unattractive. I am hoping that she may see the world through different spectacles, now that our correspondent has pointed out some very salient facts relative to her case.) "Dear Pal--You must please excuse the way I am addressing you, but I feel as though I--or rather we--are going to be pale--but first, let me tell you a few things of myself. "I am a bad looking man. High school graduattion—neat—proud— sincere—truthful and honest; five ft. 5, weigh 145 lbs., age 28. Am a December birth, with fairly good "Have you once given the same sideration that looks do not make the person and that merit, principle and personality count? If you have these qualities, dear friend, why all the fuss over looking? "Yes, I, too, am very lonely and would enjoy meeting you—since you live in New York—there is no need of us writing one another. We could, if you like, meet one another. "Surely a girl of your age must not in the least feel anyways backward because of color or beauty. Everybody wasn't born to be beautiful or light complicated either that is not your fault, and whether you have as much right to happiness as anyone else. I would enjoy talking to you and try to go my best at cheering you up. "And look! I don't care how you look, if you have those qualities I mentioned. I would be very glad to meet you and would not and could not be assumed to take you any place on earth." --- (You need not communicate these last two last communications --in fact you do not need to--they have quite enough interest to hold your attention.) "Since the introduction of the page in the Tatter I have noticed the progress made in the treatment of lonely hearts. I have felt a great sense of pleasure in the fact that in my own way there is a wild lonely joy." "I have read every insult to L. H. C. of every kind of warlorer; and with every kind and every reading I have taught a battle with myself to repose, and asking for what comfort they seem presently to offer to terous—a girl's friend. I have the humiliating circumstance, I find it exceedingly embarrassing to seek the friendship of a girl, and an almost insultable person notwithstanding the facts that driven me into murray to a peal to the L.

I have been a gentleman with that one, nor had I been with that which did not belong to me."
