Greater cooperation Racial independence, and recognition. JACK TROTTER, Business Manager Published Friday of every week by the Inter-State matter February 26, 1926, at the Post Office in New Y The BLA A Romance There was something deadly sug HIS happened 'way back. The encounter took place in the ring of the old Commonwealth Sporting Club in the heart of Harlem, sometimes called the "Negro Metropolis." T The din was terrific. Five thousand eyes shone with pride, as only the eyes of the Negro can shine. Two thousand throats acclaimed their leading fistic representative in the heavyweight division. There under the glare of the arclights stood their idol. A sculptured study in bronze. The elevated square with its hempen strands seemed indeed a fitting pedestal. There was something deadly suggestive of the jungle in the man's stance as he leaned, arms outstretched along the ropes. Careless, he appeared almost languid as we watched through lowered lids the feeble attempt of his white opponent to rise from the canvas where a swishing left hand punch had deposited him. On hands and knees, the game lad bravely strove to regain his feet. At last he achieved his aim. The crowd, though strongly partisan, was not prejudiced. The white fighter was cheered lustily. The general run of the public loves a fighter, whether white or black. These rabid fans were no exception. The few Nordics in the assemblage raised their voices in encouragement. At times when their feelings overrode their sense of discretion strong caustic words would be hurled at the black gladiator, to be instantly followed by apprehensive glances to left and right, as if fearing instant bodily reprisal. Awful tales were told of these "niggers." No danger threatened. The black folk were child-like in their enjoyment of the spectacle. Shaking his head to clear it of the cobwebs that seemed to enfold his brain, the white fighter lurched towards his opponent. Not until then did the black man move. Compassion shone in his eyes, but this was business. Craftily he --- 1 The Interstate Jattler ACK SHAD of the Ring suggestive of the jungle in the man's stance as he leaned, arms or held out his head as a target. The deceptive ingenuity of the man was remarkable. The pale-skinned warrior seeing victory in his grasp, summoned his reserve forces and made a savage thrust at the black apparition before him. The bronze figure just barely shifted its head in a snake-like motion and with the recoil, quicker than the eye could follow, a merciful right hand wafted the unfortunate Caucasian into oblivion. As the last fatal count was tolled, Harry "Kid' Roberts—known far and wide wherever the cauliflower industry flourished—glided across the resined floor, lifted his late antagonist in his huge arms, and deposited him gently in the nearest corner. CHAPTER II. THE frenzied crowd seemed to try their best to bring the roof down with their shouts. Some clapped unknown men on their backs. Without an exception the recipient turning around, either shook hands or murmured words of praise about the black warrior. This was the hey-day of Harry "Kid" Roberts' career. The famous "Black Shadow" was not allowed to leave the ring unescorted. On the shoulders of his friends he was proudly carried. Even the privacy of his dressing room was invaded. The leeches that cling tenaciously to the successful gladiator—in all branches of sport—were there with ingratiating grins on their rodent-like features. Not all were black. Harry was wise in the ways of the world. He was gifted with a brain and he knew how to use it. After graduating from public school he had spent two years in high school, when the loss of his parents, murdered with scant cause in the South, forced him, his finances depleted, to scuffle for a dubious living. The irony and bitterness of a black man, handicapped by color, had bitten deep in his soul. Unreservedly we sponsor "Harlem" for Harlemites—Co-operate now in the business World before it is too late. HADOW By Darold Lewis arms outstretched along the ropes. Two years before when Harry was toiling for a bare living on the docks, fox-trotting under a load of bananas to the tune of the foreman's "Shake it up! Step on it! Get a move on yah!" there was no adulation then paid him. Now how different. Not a step was taken without his clinging shadows. The hard work had toughened him, hardened the muscles of his body, not binding them, for he had not stayed long enough for that, but making of them cushioned pads that answered the will of his clear thinking brain at a moment's notice. The heredity of the man's forbears was apparent in the effortless way in which he carried himself. His step was light as the tiger on the trail. As first one foot and then the other was deposited the body swayed from side to side. There was no shock as the foot touched the ground. Harry had not forgotten the hungry days he had spent looking for employment before he had secured a berth in Romeo's gang on the East Side dock. The experience it engendered but served to more strongly knit the black man's resolve to succeed, and make something of himself in spite of the well-nigh insurmountable obstacles in his path. The bronze giant's two-hundred and ten pounds of hard flesh, bone and muscle suitably covered the man's six-foot-one frame. He drew the attention of the passerby eye where. Truly this was a man. They generally paused to stare. Johnny Bascomb, manager or a string of well known fighters was the fortunate one to discover this Negro, destined to be heralded by the sporting fraternity as the "Black Shadow," the shadow that hovered over the head of a white champion so tenaciously that refuge was sought behind the foolish but useful color line. Johnny Bascomb was coming out of a barber shop when he collided with the black giant, on his way home from work. Bascomb thought a lot of himself. To have this odious Negro staggering him—for Johnny, a small man, was thrown off his balance—was in Bascomb's opinion the (Continued on Page 14) THE INTER-STATE TATTLER THE DANCE OF THE WORLD THE On the Cover Miss MARY BOLLING, popular member of the Smart Set whose winsome personality has endeared her to the thousands of visitors who are the guests of the elite of "Harlem Society."

Social Snapshots Geraldyn Dismond EXHIBITIONS of dancing by the children of Harlem constitute one of our favorite modes of entertainment. Yearly, the four or five popular dancing schools offer their programs and to the shows go flocking the parents, relatives and friends of the children. The performances are always delightful, the crowds of children refreshing and the ability of not a few, inspiring. Friday, the 24th, brought the exhibition of Amanda Kemp's Dancing Dolls to the New Star Casino. A fortune must have been spent on the costumes, wigs and shoes. They were simply gorgeous. And Miss Kemp showed some admirable work in pantomime and aesthetic dancing. Her group numbers were especially interesting and effective. She made very clever use of the stage and the floor directly in front of the stage in handling the entire group. And credit must be given Mrs. Mabel Ford for her excellent assistance at the piano. Among the outstanding numbers were a waltz by the advanced class in which the girls wore long ruffled purple tulle dressed, white satin ballet slippers and white silk curled wigs; the singing and dancing of Clara Gale and Muriel Sorrell, two cute little brown girls who possess personality, poise, good voices and clever feet; the dancing of Angeline Ortiz, a bit o' a lass from Spain; the smart formations and drilling in a number labelled "The American Patrol," which was held by Evelyn Wiggins, an accomplished toe dancer; the comedy work of June Jefferson who dressed like a gamin, featured. "I Faw Down and Go Boom," and the tapping of Olivia Jones, who is a real-hoofer. The surprise of the evening was the appearance of Frank Habersham, the miniature Johnny Hudgins, whose blacked face, loose tailed coat, big shoes and white mits leaves his audience in convulsions. 1 There was no end of smart costumes. Mary Hughes wore the new red with boots to match; Arnice Mitchell used blue and rhinestones and danced with a blue silk parasol studded with rhinestones; Freddie Day wore a smart peach taffeta and tulle; Ruth Ramsey, a French gown of yellow with garden hat to match; Marion Dewey was ultra in gold metallic cloth and red fringe; Marthaline Rutledge, a breeze in blue chiffon; Elmira Smith had on an abbreviated skirt of feathers and the wood numphs were beautiful in red chiffon. Miss Kemp, who is assisted by Thelma Whitaker, has a class of one hundred. *** Mrs. Margaret D. Scott, renowned club and social worker of Los Angeles, who has been dividing her time between Irvington-on-the-Hudson with Mrs. Sarah Everette, and Newark with Mrs. Estelle Morris, was the guest of honor at a smart bridge luncheon Wednesday afternoon at the Dark Tower. Her hostesses were Mrs. Sarah Everett and her daughter, Estelle.

Before the game, a delectable lunchcon of chicken timbales, French peas, ice tea, tutti-fruitti ice cream and cakes were consumed amid much chatter. The game started about five o'clock and after an hour or so of intensive playing, the victors were announced. Stella Johnstone received perfume from the Rue de la Paix, Lillian Bangall, a brass candelabra, Laura Ingram, a rubber plant and hand painted pot, Estelle Morris, a red celluloid card holder, and the guest of honor, an elegant necklace of seed pearls, held by rhinestone bands. ```markdown ``` Mrs. Scott is the founder and president of the Sojourner Truth Home in Los Angeles and the 1927 winner of the Mme.

Resuming the explanation of the active principles, o fwhich alkaloids were mentioned and defined, I will now explain (1) Glucosides and (2) Amaroids or Bitter Principles. Glucosides: This term is applied to a group of substances (chiefly of vegetable origin) which by the action of dilute acids or enzymes, are decomposed, with the production of a sugar and one or two other substances (not carbohydrates). Amaroids or Bitter Principles: These are of such varied nature, that they do not admit any chemical diagnosis. The term includes all distinctly bitter extractives of definite chemical [Image of a man with glasses and a suit] DR. C. HAROLD AMOS, practicing at 89 Waverly Street, has been appointed to the newly created position on the clinical staff of the Bureau of Hygiene, Yon composition other than alkaloids and glucosides. A few of the less important, which I will now state are: (1) Resins, (2) Fixed and Volatile Oils, (3) Balsams, and (4) Gums. Having thus given an account of the various active principles, etc, presently, I will confine myself writing to Pharmaceutical Processes, which might be very interesting to those who may be inclined to, or have a tendency to Pharmacy. As already explained, these processes are the means by which the various preparations are manufactured from crude drugs, and are of the greatest importance in theory and practice of Pharmacy. (1) Dialysis: This process is used in separating crystaloids from colloids by bringing them in a mixed solution into contact with one side of a membrane, as a bladder, parchment paper, which has water in contact with the other side, and resulting in the passage into the water of the crystaloids to form the "diffusate," the remainder constituting the "dialysate." In the next issue, I will continue the explanation of Processes. Read next week's issue. 1913 1929 Maroon Gold Whoopee! Whoopee! Whoopee! Everybody's Going to the FROLIC of the UNITED C. C.

THE INTER-STATE TATTLEK Medical Notes By KELLY MILLER, JR. SIPHILIS may attack any of the organs of reproduction. Syphilis of, the urethra (passage urethra (passage through which the urine is discharged from the bladder) and the penis may occur at any stage of the disease. It may result in stricture with difficulty in urination or in urethal fistula (false passage of urine). Syphilitic tumors may attack the reproductive organs five to ten years 10 after the infection. When these tumors attack the urethra, it may result in deformity and fistula. Tumors of this organ have often been mistaken for tuberculosis or cancer. Syphilis of the prostate gland is very rare and may result in difficult urination, discharge and perhaps retention of the urine. The epididymis (epi-did-e-mis), oblong organ attached to the testical, may be attacked by syphilis, causing epididymitis. The organ may contain nodules of different sizes, free from pain and tenderness. The testicle may be attacked by syphilitic tumors. The organ may be uniformly enlarged and hard, the hardness is of a woody character, and the natural sensitiveness is decreased. The outline of the epididymis may be lost and become a portion of the enlargement of the testicle. The body of the testicle enlarges slowly, without causing any pain, and it often becomes as large an an orange. It is dense, feels heavy and the outline is regular. The scrotum (pouch which contains the testicles) is not affected until after there is a breaking down of the syphilitic tumor which may result in adhesions and ulceration. Sterility results from advanced disease in both testicles. Syphilis of the organs of reproduction may also cause impotence. Together with the effects upon the body, sterility and impotence may result in serious consequences in married life. If the doctor advises you to have your child's tonsils removed, don't hesitate to do so. Diseased tonsils can cause a heap of trouble. For the sake of health, have them removed, if the doctor advises it.

If we havent got it, mail it in to us. WE HAVE had nights in Spain, festivals in old New Orleans, and what nots, but the Audubon Club really put it over when they transformed the Rockland Palace on last Friday night into a garden of old Japan—calling their affair a Japanese Fantasy—and how! Never before has old Manhattan looked so beautiful for the Audubon used a profusion of multicolored lanterns, a cherry tree, laden with cherry blossoms, a dainty Japanese maiden to hand you a cigaret and the strains of Charlie Johnson's orchestra as a disguise. All these things caused the Audubon Club to be long remembered. Nearly every club of consequence was represented among the box holders and an endless stream of interested patrons paid homage to the wonderful hosts. As usual, when something swell comes off, we are busy, making it next to impossible to attend the most right-ous affairs. But we do get an earful of flowers, also her guests including Mm. Kate Walker, with gorgeous corsage (We still have ours). Many Georgie. As usual, when something swell comes off, we are busy, making it next to impossible to attend the most righteous affairs. But we do get an earful sometimes that makes it possible for us to write about good things. Hence, we heard that the Mah Jongg Girls really turned things on at Bamboo Inn on last Wednesday. And without a doubt, a more charming set of young ladies will be hard to find. Together with the joy of youth and the strains of Joe Steele's orchestra, the cooling mineral waters, the delicious Chineso food, May 22nd was a night fit for the gods at Bamboo Inn. We prayed for good weather, and 'twas glorious All things good go to the good—such as the Mah Jongg Girls. The Ace Club blossoms forth on June 5th. A Saturday night at Imperial Hall should mean much. We shall see. The best of music-direct from Broadway, we are told-has been obtained for the entertainment of the guests.

And what a party that was! Our guest provided our table (which, by the way, was at ringside) with the most gorgeous of ? flowers, also her guests including Mme. Kate Walker, with gorgeous corsages. (We still have ours). Many Georgia roses were in bloom, and how! We never knew that among our acquaintances there were so few Georgians, but thank goodness for the party, for now we know a whole gang, or at least we met a gang. We hope the Georgia Circle will throw another party again and real soon. \* \* \* On last Monday evening, the beautiful Renaissance Casino was resplendent with its gorgeous decorations and charmingly attired members and guests of the Ivy Art Circle. This, the Annual Formal affair of the Circle, was looked forward to with great anticipation by all who were fortunate enough to be on the guest list. It was quite a gala occasion and the consensus of opinion was that it was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season. Conspicuous among the box holders were the Jade Art Club, Just Us Girls, New York Club, Taet and Humor Club, Cosmos, Leisure Hour and Futuristics. Members of the Ivy Art Circle are Mesdames C.

Kennedy as its seventh president, after he had served as vice-president for four terms. This society was started by President Robinson nearly ten years ago, as the foremost fraternity in the evening session. The requirements for entrance are an 85 per cent average over a period of 40 credits, a uniform character test and some outstanding social work in any extra curricula way. The difficulty of proper recognition from Phi Beta Kappa for the evening session students was the main thought behind Torch and Scroll's inception. The society now has a Beta Chapter in New York Law School, under the direction of Mr. Kennedy and plans are being formulated to bring in Hunter College this year. *** The Globe Social Club is all agog over plans for their next dance, since they still can hear talk of their last. The Alpha Whist Club held their regular monthly business meeting at the home of Prince Meadows, at which time plans were made for their annual whist tournament to be held shortly. The Club's special business meeting will be held Monday, June 3rd at the home of Arthur Drayton, secretary, 167 West 136th Street. * * * The more the merrier. Another new club has been formed.

The schools will be closing in the next month and the children will be on the streets with no place to play, as the Board of Education is not going to open schools without funds and the city has made no appropriations to open playgrounds. Though the New York American, the Council will try to raise some means to open playgrounds. It has pledged to give 2.00 for every $1.00 that the Council can raise. Those contributing $5.00 or more will have their names published in the New York American. Contributions are being sent to Mrs. Emily Orsterhout, 148 West 144th Street; Mr. Emilio Ramry, 24 Bradhurst Avenue, and Mr. James Middleton, 47 East 134th Street, chairman of the Council. ```markdown ``` The Sphinx Social Club bids are out for its Annual Normal Complimentary Dance, which will come off Monday evening, June 3rd. at the Renaissance Ball Room.

Dougless, Reader and Entertainer, appeared in a Joint Recital Tuesday evening at St. James Presbyterian Church for the benefit of Haines Normal Institution, Augusta, Fla. The program of Readings was designed to show the evolution of Negro Poetry from Paul Lawrence Dunbar through our modern poets, covering the works of James Weldon Johnson, Jesse Fauset, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes and Helene Johnson Bennuz Buruer, Theatrical Editor At the Lafayette is seen at her best this we “Masquerades” is the title of Archie Jones’ snappy musical com- edy offering at the Lafayette The- atre and it certainly is one of the best revues it has been our good fortune to attend. The music and dancing are exceptionally good and the comedy, although very good, had a tendency to lag, but a critical Monday evening audience enjoyed many a laugh. “Masquerade” opens with a large part of the company on the stage —Joe Jordan and his sixteen piece band,. Harlem’s own operatic oc- tette, and the chorus of sixteen beautiful girls. The “principal” entertainers’ make their appéar- ances throughout the show which is 4 delightful succession of beauti- ful dances, wonderful singing and amusing comedy. Bach ‘of these elements had their high spots. Dur- ing the singing, for example, a chorus of twenty-four voices, as- sisted by the band, rendered some operatic selections which brought a storm of applause. Miss Vivian Brown’s rendition of the love song from “The Chocolate Soldier” brought three encores, and the spe- cial musical score which Archie Jones wrote was played so effec- tively by Joe Jordan’s band that the audience interrupted the show time and again to voice its appre- ciation. The chorus dancing was featured by a very effective glove drill and by a tambourine dance, while Dade and Tressie and other splendid fea- ture dancers “stopped the show” time and again. The comedy was provided by four of the. best col- ored comedians on the American stage: Bob Allen and Archie Jones, and Winifred and Mills. Other members of the cast who deserve particular mention are Lawrence Lomax, Ralph DeMund, Rose Gar- rett, Estelle Floyd, Robert Jack- son, Lee Randall, Nathan Cash and Alfred Smith. The feature photoplay being pre- sented with “Masquerade” is “The Three Passions,” Rex Ingram’s latest masterpiece.

She plays the part of an unfortunate girl who seeks to get away from 2 miserable life. An old Italian meets her in a spaghetti house where she was waiting.. He falls in love with the girl and on his return home to an- other city, he has a young friena write a letter for him in which he encloses the younger man’s pictury before the letter’ is mailed to the girl. “They Knew What They Wanted” is in three condensed acts. It is one of the best dramas which has been presented in Harlem since the days when the Lafayette Theatre was presenting dramatic entertain- ment. Miss Anderson and her lead- ing man, Rupert Marks, gave a re- markable performance, Miss Ander- son as the girl who is tricked into marriage and Rupert Marks as Tony, whose great love for the girl made him forgive and forget. Sup- porting Miss Anderson and Mr. Marks in this stirring drama are Billy Shepherd, who takes the part of a handsome and _ irresistible young lover, Charles Moore as Padre McKee and William Ed- mondson, as the doctor who not only looked after the health of his clients, but who also forced a con- fession from the erring couple. The Monday matinee audience gave Miss Anderson and her play- ers a big ovation and cheered her announcement that a bigger com- pany would present “Madame X” next week. The musical comedy portion of the program is entitled “Sprin= time Revels,” and is a snappy, hi- lariously funny revue. The cast includes Willie Jackson. kitty and Aublanch, Bee Footes and other popular musical comedy favorites. The photoplay program being presented with “They Knew What They Wanted,” and “Springtime Revels” is “Glorious Betsy,” 2 golden story of a golden love star- ring Dolores Costello and Conrad Nagel. At the Alhambra She might have been called “Scarlet Sister Mary,” only she wasn’t, but just the same she was crimson enough as we found her at the Alhambra Theatre last Mon- day evening. We are speaking of Violet Speedy in the character of Helen Carr, reputed to be a dan- gerous woman and we'll admit a clever one, is Miss Speedy. Oh, er, we forgot to mention that “Scarlet Sisters” is.the title of the thrilling little playlet at the Al- hambra and Miss Carr is seeking revenge for a fancied wrong. To this end she lures a young girl to a house of vice where the victim comes face to face with her vil- lainous father, who ends his wicked lite with a bullet. In the house of sin the mayor and his beautiful daughter meet face to face. Instantly she real- izes that her own father is the protector of the white slave traffic.

Susie Sutton plays the role of a vain and idle society woman who has come to endow the mission with funds, and Artie Cain is a drunken girl of the streets; at least so they seem until the sur- prise finale comes. “The Crazy Hotel.” the musical comedy affair, has a new favorite in Baby Banks, the little star of the night clubs, who joins Viola McCoy, the record singer, and gifted Rose Landers. The leaders in the fun are Sandy Burns, Hezekiah Jenkins and Pig- meat Markham. A cowboy band on the stage and a dramatization of popular songs are high spots of the show. There are some new and remarkably pretty girls among the sixteen Alhambra dancers. “Lighting,” a picture version of zane Grey’s novel, with Jobyna Ralston, is the movie feature of the Alhambra’s triple’ program. “Talkies” At Roosevelt The Roosevelt Theatre, located at the corner of Seventh Avenue and 145th Street, is the latest of Har- lem’s motion picture theatres to announce the presentation of talk- ‘*SCARLET SISTERS?’’ Tremendous Drama of the Vice Traffic in a Big City ” “CRAZY HOTEL SANDY BURNS, BABY BANKS, HEZEKIAH JENKINS, VIOLA * McCOY, ROSE LANDERS, PIG- MEAT MARKHAM and many others, and the Famous 16 ALHAMBRA GIRLS 7 BESIDES PICTURES In Harlem’s Great Triple Program — Next Week — “GREED FOR GOLD” .

At the Douglas A special holiday bill has been arranged for patrons of the New Douglas Theatre for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the cuur- rent week, consisting of two fea- ture attractions and a Vitaphone act of especial interest to Har- lemites. Rin Tin Tin’s newest of- fering, “The Million Dollar Col- lar,” heads the program on the days mentioned. This is described as a tingling melodrama of the underworld and in it the human characters will be heard speaking their lines as well as acting the parts of the play. The added fea- ture with “The Million Dollar Col- lar” will be “Girls Gone Wild.” with Sue Carol and Nick Stuart in the principal roles, Reb Spikes and his Follies Entertainers appear in the Vitaphone novelty referred to and will be seen and heard in @ group of sparkling tunes and dances. This all-colored aggrega- tion of players is one of the best known groups of jazz music dis- pensers in the country and is at present delighting the West Coast. “The Duke Steps Out,” Lucien Cary’s Saturday Evening Post tale, filmed with dialogue and talking sequences, will be the feature at the New Douglas beginning Satur- day for four days. This is a hilari- ous comedy of ring and campus. Haines plays a prize fighter who, to please his sweetheart, goes to college. His efforts to hide his THE INTER-STATR TATTLER profession in the classroom, ‘and still defend his. title on the -out- side, give rise to a score of hilari- ously funny situations. 5 Sete ee ‘ ; Pee eee C ete a's SS ar = aD Wee PY, Se Sach rn ke pe os LAVINA MACK, dancing star of the “Ebony Follies”. Yes. Hot Chocolate Wwe chocolate bas always been a favorite sweetmeat, it remained for an elongated, ebony slick-haired young- ster with just a smattering of English to make it nationally popular. That dusty personage is none other than the redoubtable valiant ring hero, Eligio Sardinas, better known as “Kid Choco- late.” rue, another and by far @ greater fisctic idol, the immortal George Dixion first created the demand for chocolate in the ring, but that was over a decade ago. But “Little Choco- late’ as Dixon was dubbed by his manager and the sport-world of that day, never attracted the public as does this sprightly Cuban boy Sardine, er pardon me, Sardinas. With the public demanding choco- Jate and still more chocolate and with Broadway, the world’s most sophisti- eated thoroughfare, pleading to the gods for a bit of chocolate, George and Connie Innerman decided that the prayer must be answered. So they summoned their trusty lieutenant, Leon- ard Harper, and went into a huddle or rather a conference. The result was that despite the ebony hue of Broad- way at this moment, there’ be still more color there next week. For half a dozen years “Connie’s Inn” in Harlem has housed the colored show par excellence. In those years Connie hag gathered together Negro artists of the first water and the most exquisite tan-skin girls in New York. This troupe, augmented by new stars, more girls and Wooding'’s Jubilee Singers, will present Connie’s “Hot Chocolates” at the Hudson Theatre for an indefinite run beginning June 10th. és Heading the company are Baby Cox and Minto Cato. Baby Cox has starred at the Inn for some time and is fam- ous for her singing, dancing and imper- sonations. Minto Cato is a prima don- na long on the Keith vaudevile circuit and recently returned from a tour to Australia, Japan and Honolulu. Others in the large cast include Madeline Belt,. Billy Higgins, Margaret Simms, Aman- da Randolph, Eddie Green, Louise: Cook, “Jazzlips’” Richardson, the Mid- nite Steppers, Meers and Meers, Jimmie- Basket, Paul Bass, Billy Maxey, the: Palmer Brothers, George Phillips and! George Straton. Leonard Harper has produced and’ staged the revue. Mr. Harper was: responsible for the succecss of “Shuf- fling Along” and “Keep Shuffiin’.” The: score is by Thomas “Fatts’ Waller;. Harry Brooks and Andy Razaf. “Hot Chocolates” is being given a lavish production, both as to costumes: and settings. Connie is the Ziegfeld of Harlem, famous for his floor shows: and in bringing his revue to Broadway, he is excelling his previous stand- ards. Backstage with Stagetruck with Baby Cox-Minto Cato and a Company of 85 Including International Song & Dance Stars, Wooding's Jubilee Singers, Le Roy Smith's Orchestra "EBONY SCANDALS" played the first half of the week at the State Theatre, Jersey City, N. J. The last half of the week, beginning Thursday, they are at the Keith House 81st Street. The cast includes Mae Barnes, Levina Mack, Albert Jackson, Flo Brown, Cecile Rivers, Louis Simms and "Buster" Bowle. . * * * MISS NINA-MAE McKINNEY, who rose to stardom over night. is back with us again. Miss Nina-Mae is the young lady who replaced "Honey" Brown when illness forced that young lady out of King Vidor's all colored photoplay "Hallelujah." Miss Evelyn Burwell, comedy entertainer who plays Miss Hotstuff in the big photoplay was Miss McKinney's companion while Mrs. McKinney, Nina-Mae's mother, chaperoned the party. Incidently, Miss Nina-Mae has been tied up to a five year contract with the MetroGoldwyn film corporation. "Honey" Brown, who was to have starred in the production, arrived here a few days prior to the others. "BAMBOOLA," a Negro musical comedy production by Irving Cooper, is-booked for the Liberty Theatre next week. The cast includes among others: Billy Andrews, Kid Bumpsky, Jim-Jams Bailey, "Billie" Cortez, Montey Hawley, Isabell Washington, and Mercedes Gilbert, who will be the featured entertainers. *** RUTH WALKER, popular little night club dancer, returned last week from Europe where she has been living for the past two years or so. Miss Walker is stopping for the time at "Mussy" Anderson's home, Seventh Avenue and 131st Street. She leaves in a few days for up-state New York for the summer. * * * STEP'N' FETCHIT, movie comedy entertainer starred in "Hearts In Dixie," is due in town within the next few days and Step'n' is fetching a lit'l gal along with his numerous cars for a big June celebration. Yep, he's gittin' tied-up, we understand, and to as winsome a lit'l som-bar-dy as you'd wish ter lamp. Step'n' Fetchit has a mania for ka-rs. to-date owning three and gittin' ready ter buy three more. If a gas wagon doesn't go 90 miles per hour, it's no go to Fetchit. He's gotter travel and travel fast. No matter where he's goin' he's gotter git dere quick. Besides, he sure is a warm ba-be and unless thar's a gale o' wind fannin' his ebony brow, dis here hot popper is apt ter burn up. Somehow or other a little N'Orleans mamma happened to catch Mr. Fetchit's eye one day and then commenced a roro-romance involving the clever comedy photo play star. Yes how fast Step'n'Fetchit was traveling on that particular day wejes can't say. Butjes de same he spied the Louisiana queen—and came back. Oh yes, forgot to tell yer he also has a weak-ness for the gals. This time he fell and fell hard. This visit of Fetchit is a combination affair as he's not only to enjoy a vacation and honeymoon but will be featured at one or two theatres during his short stay in the big town. * * * BILL ROBINSON, the King of Dancers, was featured at the Palace all this week, where he opened last Sunday. According to information advanced us, Lew Leslie could not meet Robinson's demand for $2,500 a week for Bill's appearance with the European engagement of the Black Birds so Bill stays with us. *** "BUTTERBEANS" AND SUSIE are billed for this week at the Koppin Theatre, Detroit. Others on the bill with the popular entertainers are, Joe Clark, Tressie Leggs, James Compson, the Gibsons and Elizabeth Conley. * * * EDDIE LEMONS, now in Chicago, is taking a musical comedy revue to Milwaukee with an all-star cast. Others besides Eddie who will work under cork are, Lillian Westmoreland, who starred in one of the Miller-Lyles flascos; "Whistling" Rufus, Marguerite Banks, Coleman Titus, Erma Hollis and Hoyt Jenkins. * * * DRAKE AND WALKER are billed at the Grand Theatre this week. In addition to Drake and his wife, Miss Hallie, others are Willie Drake, George Williams. Christine Daniels, Arthur Noble, Maude Lee, Chester Owens, Susie Robinson and of course that cyclonic Drake Jazz Band. *** "PANSY," by opening last Tuesday night at the Hudson Theatre, as we went to press, saved us the unpleasant duty of panning it. Believe it or not, few critics like to pan a production. And this is particularly true of Negro critics. When the old pan is taken out of the cupboard, few if any of us like the ordeal. \*\*\* JACK GOLDBERG AND brothers are planning another comedy-talkie feature and will use a number of chorines at liberty when the call is made. Girls can register at the Tattler office if they wish to pick up a few extra dollars. No definite date can be set and the call will be at the eleventh hour. In short, a hurry call. * * * THE JAZZ REGIMENT is to march on Broadway the latter part of June. The cast will be practically the same as before. Namely, Gertrude Saunders, "Dusty" Fletcher, John Mason, Chappell and Stinnet, Andrew Tribble, Ernest Whitman, and Lois Catherine Parker, will be the featured entertainers. The subordinate players will include among others, Columbus Jackson, Bertha Roe, Sammy Page, Al Young, Charles Hawkins, Alonzo McClain, Gary and Evans and Gertrude Gardeen. * * * THE HIGHTOWER TRIO, with Gladys Ferguson, opened at the Mount Morris Theatre here in Harlem last Monday. The act went over big. Miss Ferguson's impersonation of how a gentleman should look in evening attire was superb. BILLY MITCHELL, he of the insane feet, and his musical comedy revue, "Broadway To Harlem,' 'opened at the Lyceum Theatre, Hackensack, N. J., last Monday. The production is a mixed affair, featuring colored and white entertainers. 率 率 ETHEL WATERS CLOSED her big time act for the season. But Miss Waters and her consorts, the Misses Dyar Jones and Pearl Wright will do a bit of wild-cattling. They are booked to play the Lafayette Theatre sometime the latter part of June. THE NEW YORK TIMES GLADYS FERGUSON, one of the cleverest of masculine impersonators, registered well with Lafayette Theatre audiences. She is a clever girl with a wonderful disposition. LOUIS ARMSTRONG, celebrated trumpeter, is also billed for a Lafayette Theatre appearance. He will come with a ten-piece band and of course, he'll be the featured artist. * * * JOHNNY HUDGINS, clever pantomine comedy entertainer and the most imitated of the many black-face artists, is billed at the Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, this week. On the same bill there is S. H. Dudley's "Step On It" musical comedy vehicle and a sketch by Johnny Weber and company, "My Perfect Car." * * * AT THE ROYAL Theatre of Baltimore, a musical comedy revue entitled "Dance Mad" is billed for this week with the following entertainers listed in the cast: Billy Mitchell, Grant and Wilson, the Hightower Trio and Gladys Ferguson, the clever impersonator of male characters. The last two artists will not appear as they are now playing in New York City. FREE Can You Write a Song? WORDS ** MUSIC ** WRITTEN Arrangements Made EARN $25-$100 WEEKLY ONLY THROUGH PROF.

YOU buried your love in the city Streets Mid the hum and bustle of everyday life— You quickly forgot the joy of its sweets, The pain of its pleasure, the thrill of its strife. But I laid the dead love tenderly away Mid lavender, gold and rose sachet And joy in remembrance of old heart-throbs. When the cold years come, the old melt away And I have my mem'rles in rose sachet. If you are alone with a spectre to haunt you Twill be the dead love returning to taunt you. Marguerlte ("Peggy") Abrams. DARWIN'S theory about the influence of environment may be all wet to some humans, but we have a most forceful and practical illustration of that same theory here on the campus. Last week (track meet) ol' man Bacchus with his wine, wimmin and song, reigned supreme, but this week exams—the bone of every college man's existence, the destroyer of dearest hopes and ideals, the low down snake in the grass, whose delight is to trap the unwary, the unsurmountable barrier, against which fondest aspirations are dissolved—are upon us, and How. Into each life some rain must fall, but that's no reason to flood us with exams. Lincolnites go around these days with haunted, harrassed looks, reflecting a very, ve.y troubled inward spirit, believe me. Ol' kid faculty is having his innings now, and he's just mowing down the opposition something terrible. Sigh. It won't be long now. Like a ray of blessed light, in our troubled existence comes the inter-mural track meet, to cheer and revive us. The "Lucky Strike" and "Chesterfield" boys are making strenuous efforts to round into top form for their respective events (increased diet of butts). The class spirit exhibited is simply wonderful. We candidly admit that world records may not tumble in the balance, but competition is going to be mighty interesting. Most worthy of note has been the efforts of our track team this past season. In the Penn. relays the boys gave a good account of themselves; copped second place in the Hampton meet, and closed the track year in a blaze of glory by beating their ancient and honorable rivals, namely, Hampton Union, Wilberforce, and Morgan by an overwhelming score in the Lincoln meet held here Saturday, May 18. The team will lose but a few veterans by graduations, and next year should find us functioning greater than ever. * * * As a sort of tribute to the passing memory of the Lincoln track meet (going but not yet in oblivion), it must be said that few could have recognized the old campus, and the school itself, with its holiday air all dressed up to kill, and the sight of so many --- REQUIEM \* \* \* * * * BAMBOO INN TABBS pretty wimmin parading up and down, gladdening the eyes and hearts of all. My, my, my, no wonder the memory lingers on and on. Another school year is about to make its final exodus, and who can say but with what joy or sorrow its passing will be hailed. To some, an inspiration for new ambitions, and to others a source of regret for time and labor lost. Well! it has been a great year, full of triumphs and disappointments. Next year, look to thyself, oh Howard. Just reminds me. The present freshman class takes an unholy delight in contemplation of joys to come, poor liddle freshies of class 33. It won't be long now. In the face of overwhelming odds (competing with the track meet), the annual junior oratorical contest was brought to a successful conclusion. The winners were F. L. Turner and C. T. Hollaway, Jr. who got their stuff off before a small and distracted audience most admirably. if you consider the circumstances. The Sophs feel mighty good these days. They've just been awarded their first class letter, Phi. Old Lincolnites will know what a grand and glorious feelin' that is. Well, it's about time they got a break, anyway. * * * Just a few more hot dawgs, and cart wheels to tickle the palates of noble seniors and into the cold, cold world they must go, to bless our noble campus no mo'. How's that for "poultry." From present indications, the foot ball situation for next year is most encouraging. It goes without saying that the old Lincoln Lion will be out there with the best of 'em and lordy help the stray bison he gets his mitts on.

Since the passing of Howard Drew, quite a number of brilliant race dash men have come to the fore. Dehart Hubbard was unquestionably the most consistent sprinter since Drew at distances from forty yards up to the century. World's record holder in the running broad jump, and a phenomenal performer in the hurdles, hop step and jump, and relay racing, this Page. Twelve ALVIN J. MOSES in the hurdles, hop step and track immortal who was also trained by Farrell of Michigan University very nearly approached Drew's best time for the hundred and shorted distances. Tolan raced 100 yards without the semblance of a breeze in 9.6 last Friday afternoon in qualifying for the finals, beating the best time of George Simpson, dubbed the "Fastest Human," by a tenth of a second. During the four years he starred on the track and in the classroom at Detroit, he set interscholastic marks that still remain. He was a host within himself at all track meets in which his high school was represented. sharing the honors with Beatty, also an athlete of color who matriculated at Northeasten. Every college in the country sent out wires for Tolan, but inspired by the feats of Hubbard, he finally chose Michigan University much to the delight of Steve Farrell, who was one of the greatest professional sprinters in the history of foot racing, and the student body. Tolan is blessed with a wonderful physique much after the order of Howard Drew, his stocky frame giving him unbelievable power that shoots him from the mark and through the gruelling stages of a century sprint like a cannonball. Press Acclaims Him The press of the country flashed news of Tolan's great work in the trials, and we'll let you read verbatim what the Associated Press sports editor had to say: "Tolan, one-time national interscholastic champion in the century and 220 yard dashes, reeled off his heat in .09 6-10 seconds, tying the recognized world performances of such famous speedsters as Howard Drew, Charlie Paddock, Dan Kelly and Cyril H. Coaffee. Tolan, a pupil of Steve Farrell, Wolverine coach, one of the greatest sprinters of the old professional days, raced to world time in the second heat of the 100 yard dash. He won by a margin of at least four yards over Kriss of Ohio State. "Tolan not only tied the world's mark, but ran the fastest century ever raced in the Western Conference. He smashed the Big Ten record of .09.74 made by Dehart Hubbard, another colored wonder, also of Michigan. in 1925. "The performance of the stocky Wolverine 'Ace' was outstanding in an afternoon of record breaking. Two other records were cracked before the preliminaries in eleven of the sixteen events were finished. "George Simpson, Ohio State's noted sprinter, smashed the Big Ten record for the 220 yard dash by stepping the distance in 20.9 seconds. This clipped 3-10ths of a second off the record made by Eric Wilson of Iowa in 1923. Previously Simpson in winning his trial heat in the 100 yard dash, set a new record for the century, sprnting the distance in 09.7 seconds, only to have Tolan come along and crack it again a few minutes later. Breaks Record Saturday Eddie Tolan, colored boy from the University of Michigan, and Dick Rockaway of Ohio State bettered the world's marks, while George Simpson, Ohio Transational Pacific Co. sent to this city last week to Pinky Kaufman, a next week.

The New York runners covered the distance in 4 minutes, 52 2-5 seconds. New York A. C. held the old mark at 5 minutes 5 seconds.

It was paced by a special team ck, Haverford; Nigriny, Union, and Fans Discuss Al Brown-Chocolate When dapper Al Brown was introduced at the Fidel LaBarba-Kid Chocolate imbroglio last Wednesday night, it reopened an old discussion on the relative merits of these two sterling warriors. In a recent article the writer stated that while we were not interested in a spectacle between these outstanding Bantamweights because it would mean the eliminating of one from the picture, in our opinion Al Brown would emerge the winner of such a meeting. This was said despite the vanted boxing skill of Chocolate, and his two handed attack that has swept all and sundry opponents out of his patch since his arrival in this country of golden dreams to the foreigner. We don't want to give our readers the impression that we are against matches between outstanding fighters of color like Chocolate and Brown,—rather we deplore the subtle system of matchmakers and leading challengers in attempting to force our boys into such spots when numerous white challengers of the title are running loose and artfully dodging behind the time worn "Color Line." Brown Too Ringwise Allowing that Chocolate has played with boxing gloves for toys since he was 11 years old, his ring craftiness and generaliship at this particular stage of his development, is not on a par with that of the hardest hitting little man since that era that produced such dynamic punchers as McGovern, Dixon, Young Corbett, Oscar Gardner, et al. The theory of Chocolate's supposed glass chin doesn't enter into our argument. Were his mouthpiece of galvanized iron, the healthy socks of Al Brown would create no little damage, and you can lay all the tea in China on that score. In all fairness to Brown as a boxer, you cannot entirely throw out the fact that he is awkwardly clever in his own way. Standing taller than any bantamweight or featherweight since the days of Harry Harris who always provided worlds of trouble for that master feather—Abe Attell—Brown has arms that act like the tenacles of an Octopus, and with nearly the same potency. Our pick if the lads should hook up within the next six months would be Al Brown without the slightest point to hedge an alibi. A season from now if rated along the fistic quicksands as he ought to be, Kid Chocolate may be invincible as he possesses everything that goes to make a real champion. 'Listen to what some of the fans have had to say in letters to your correspondent re this looked for meeting: Jimmy Sampson,—Small's Paradise.— "Say Al, you can say for me personally that Kid Chocolate on the strength of his LaBarba showing rates the class of the Bantams and that takes in Al Brown."

Johnny Bascomb, the owner of a snappy fighting stable. Recovering his breath, Johnny's vitriolic tongue was about to deliver a scathing tirade when the black man in a low modulated voice, said a surprising thing, surprising to Bascomb who had experience with only those Negroes of the "Yes Suh Boss" type. It was a gentleman's utterance. This Negro was intelligent enough to enunciate his words in faultless English when the occasion demanded, though by choice lapsing into the easy melodious dialect of the South, whose CHAPTER III. HARRY "KID" ROBERTS, well rubbed and tingling from the effects of an invigorating shower, wended his way-to the street. The fight that opened this story was just over. Not a mark marred his strong bronze features. The scrap was hardly a warm-up.—He could not pick and choose his opponents. He had to take them as they were offered. Of late they were few and far between. The headliners clamoring for a chance at the champion wanted no part of his game. The man that occupied the imperial throne also wanted none. After a short walk Harry reached the cozy home wherein he resided. As he opened the floor of his apartment, a bundle of fragrant feminity detached itself from the cushions of a chair and bounded joyfully into his arms. It was Alice, the black man's wife. "Is yuh hurt, sweetness?" were the first words she uttered after a lingering embrace. "Is mah 'Big Boy' hurt?"—Her voice was rich in timber and deeply melodious. Harry held her at arms' length ravenously feasting his eyes on her alluring beauty. In the words of the old song, "I've got the world in a jug and the stopper is in my hand," the "Big Boy" was satisfied. The world to him represented Alice, and he had her in his arms. Large dark eyes illuminated the girl's olive colored face—no doubt inherited from some unknown Spanish forebears. Her hair was black as the night that sets on African shores. Her nose, slightly snub. The lips, medium sized, were ever ready to draw back in a smile that displayed a perfect alignment of teeth. Her chin was a trifle receding—denoting a certain weakness. A slender neck held her head poised like an Egyptian princess—who knows what blood flowed in her veins? Her body small and willowy, was supported by a pair of well modeled ankles; slim feet rcsted in neat brown slippers. Alice just about reached Harry's chin. As her husband assured her he was unhurt, she uttered a sigh of relief—the strain of Harry's battles were felt by her more so than the gladiator himself.—In her low musical voice, the girl—she could not have been more than twenty—bade him be seated. Harry stretched out his six feet one of bone and muscle on a comfortable School of Designing And Dressmaking Pattern Making. French Draping, Grading, Cutting, Fitting and Tailor- ing.

At this point a thought of his parents' cruel death flashed across his mind. He stifled a sigh. His sensitive nerves keyed up to concert pitch for the late encounter, threatened to break. Even his iron will was infallible to the sear of the old wound. "Gone!" he murmurred brokenly. He clinched his hands in impotent anger. Alice seeing the signs and knowing their origin, caressed the fevered brow with a gentle pressure of her flexible fingers. Rising from her reclining position beside him, she glided over to the piano and with the skill of a born artist swung into a popular hit of the day, "Love will find a way." Harry was deeply sentimental. It needed but a few bars of his favorite melody to sweep away the dark cloud from his brain. "You're mah sunshine, Honeh,"—reverting to his natural way of speech. "Ah dunno what ah'd do without YEARS rolled on. Harry "Kid" Roberts was nearing the zenith of his fighting powers. For five long years he had been the most talked of black man in the world. He became a myth, the great legendary figure of the arena. The white champion refused repeatedly to meet him. Some of the more bold spirits accused the crown bearer of cowardice. His own race was eyeing him askance. The champion's bed was not a comfortable resting place. At last one white boy, up from obscurity, reached the limelight by securing a match with the fearsome black colossus through the astuteness of his clever manager. Jack Roonev was this bold fighter's name. He had nothing in his past record to justify a chance at the foremost challenger—heralded the uncrowned king—but he was known to have plenty of heart—the supreme requisite of a pupilist. Though fast for a big man, it was said he lacked a punch. The boxing public took this as a sure indication of another set-up for the bronze terror. That Harry would murder him was the general opinion. The bout was scheduled for fifteen rounds at one of the largest IT was the night before the fight with Jack Rooney. Harry Roberts reclined on a chair in his comfortable home. Alice was restless. While Harry could relax, the thought of his impending fight far from his mind, Alice fretted under Lost Your Sole?

"Pardon me. My fault entirely." As Johnny was in the wrong, this magnahimous avowal of the Negro was something new in Bascomb's experience. He was nonplussed. Regaining his composure he looked the black man over good, admiring his splendid physique. Finally he did a thing he never before even considered doing. He shook the hand of a Negro. "Let's call it quits." was his smiling remark. An answering smile illuminated the features of the black man. Harry Roberts had made a friend. After some commonplace remarks had been bandied back and forth, the professional instincts of the little manager asserted itself. "Come on down to the club to CHAPTER IV. CHAPTER V. yuh, Sweetheart," then breaking into reminiscence. "'Fore yuh come nuttin' seemed to mattuh. Didn't kay if ah lived or died. Alone—but now how diffr'n. Ah has yuh." "Mah Thugar," Alice lisped softly. She was rewarded with a long passionate kiss. Alice reluctantly slipped out of his arms. "Suppah 'll be cold," she warned. "Ain't yah hongry?" "Yuh bet!" was Harry's emphatic response. Both then made their way to the kitchen where a nourishing supper was soon partaken. Harry Roberts' dreams were wrapped up in his wife. He made it plain before he had taken the decisive step that he would expect strict fidelity. He was prepared to share her with none. In turn, he played fair. The throng of women—blacks, browns, yellows, and even "fays" who sought out the bronze giant, received scant consideration. He was always courteous but firm. They were assured they were only wasting their time. All schemes failed. There was no blemish on his reputation. The papers played on this theme. He was given credit for being a good Negro. ball parks obtainable. A well known promoter was in charge of the arrangements. The daily papers printed the records of both men. The white man's was mediocre. The black man's better, though of late he was guilty of carrying his men—stalling, letting them go the distance. The fans knew of his own volition his opponents could not have gone five rounds, but the larder must be kept filled. The "Black Shadow" must have the wherewithal with which to buy "poke" chops. When the day of the fight dawned, the arena was packed. Not expecting to see a good fight but to get a line on the form of the black man. That was the incentive of the majority of the massed humanity present. It was their hope that Jack Rooney might extend Harry a bit. A good trial horse. Harry might take off his wraps. If he did their admission price would be well repaid. Odds were quoted at fifteen to one—the bronze giant the topheavy favorite. There were few takers. Had the black man deteriorated in his long but as yet fruitless quest after the title? That was the question to be answered. It was answered, and how! the nervous strain. The quiet of the apartment oppressed her. A session at the piano afforded her no relief. "Let's go to the theatre," she at last burst out. Harry had no such desire.

"I'll place you on a regular salary. Pay you a little more than you're getting now," he added as an afterthought. The black man was satisfied. Johnny handed him a card with the address of the club scribbled on the back. Harry promised to be there. This was the fortunate connection that led to the meteoric rise of Harry Roberts in the boxing game, destined to cause the greatest furore that was ever created in the heavyweight ranks. ing Alice was worrying on his account, he told her she could go. By herself. Coaxing him to accompany her was of no avail. Alice was reluctant to go alone. "Go 'head and lose yuh worries at de show" he told her tenderly. "Be careful of dem kawner loafers.

"Anythin' dat consarns mah people consarns me" was Harry's quick rejoinder—He was keenly race-conscious. "Yuh good man" Alice sighed. "Always thinkin' o' odders.

Be good and be ca'ful." He bundled her out. Alice promised to be home early. That was the last he saw of her. Long days of suffering and despair not unmingled with regret was destined to be their share before they met again. Twelve P. M. came around that night—as eventually it must—and Harry awoke from restless slumber. He stretched out his arm and encompassed an empty space. Where was Alice? She had left the house since eight o'clock. Harry jumped out of bed. His vivid imagination pictured all sorts of dire disaster. Hurriedly dressing, he reached the street just in time to signal a cruising taxicab. The agitated fighter arrived at the entrance to the Lafayette theatre—the house Alice had informed him she would go to—as the ticket seller was about to take her departure. Calling her by name—an old acquaintance—he made a brief inquiry for his wife. "Why Harry" the girl answered, "Alice left about eleven as the show closed.

It seemed as if she knew him for they shook hands and after an earnest conversation; she stepped in the car and they drove off." "Is that so!" Harry bit out the words. "Fore God's the truth. Please don't look like that. You frighten me" the girl quavered. A stupendous project is in the making. Plans have been formed towards bringing to this country, next season, the entire personnel of the West Indian Cricket aggregation that so successfully toured Great Britain last year. This is an unprecedented venture, unparalleled in the history of American cricket. Even the sterling attraction offered the rabid cricket fans in the form of 1928's magnificent Invaders, from the Carribbean Islands is overshadowed. That the mighty cricket eleven which gained world wide acclaim has generously accepted the proposition to come to this country, the season of 1929, speaks volumes for the sportsmanship of the honorable gentlemen who compose the same. They are indeed living up to the highest ideals of the loved pastime. Cricket is a gentleman's game; it engenders qualities oftimes lay hidden in one's breast. Regardless how much one may profess to be a gentleman, it is not by such ranting that the individual is judged. Actions speak louder than words. The true sportsman keeps his head at all times; and he is usually quick to appreciate and compliment the good play of his opponent. Cricket is a great game to watch; or participate in. If you fail to understand its intricacies at all matches played, they are courteous persons present to inform you on any question pertaining to the exhibition. It is the hope of the well wishers of this gentleman's game that the American public will wake up to the fact that right in their neighborhood, splendid exhibitions of cricket are being enacted weekly.

I can think of nothing just now that would be more serious or more helpful than the L. H. Column, unless it be a page of Biblican quota- tions and doubt whether it would help any more; for many would ignore it, as well as many who might read and then not heed to what they had read. “I feel that I and the rest of the Lonesome Fans must 3hare the attack on the Tattler as we are partly respon- sible for the same.

Every Girl Has the Same Opportunity. Entries Still Coming in, But the Wise Girls Tried to Get the Jump on the Field. Several Clubs Have Entered Candidates to Carry Their Colors in the Tattler's Big Contest THE Tattler's "Queen of the Convention Derby" had its official starting last Monday when some twenty odd girls were sent away on the first lap of the twelve lap vacation course from New York to Atlantic City where the winner will be crowned the Tattler's "Convention Queen," and given a first prize of $200.00 in cash. The young lady who comes in second will get $150.00, the third girl's reward will be $100.00, and to fourth and fifth cash prizes of $50.00 and $25.00 will be given. But every girl who finishes with fifty or more one year subscriptions or the equivalent in this contest will be included in the "Tattler's Convention Party" and her expenses paid (railroad fare and hotel bills) for five days in Atlantic City the week of the Elks' Convention. BLUES Have you got the vacation blues? Smile—be happy—forget your problems, for you can have that well-earned vacation this year if you START a SAVINGS account NOW. The DUNBAR NATIONAL BANK of New York Here's a splendid opportunity for a hundred, five hundred or a thousand girls to have a big time vacation at one of the world's most popular resorts, Atlantic City, known as the "World's Playground." Just think what that means at this time; just picture to yourselves, girls, the world of fun you can have during the big conclave of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the "World" the latter part of August. Who won't be there; who would not be there if it were possible? Oh boy and to be crowned "Queen" and gst a big gang of greenbacks, $200.00, the heroine of the hour, as your friends gather round and cheer! Even if you do not win one of the big cash prizes, just think how easy it is to at least win a vacation trip. You have ten weeks left, 70 days to earn a vacation at the InterState Tuttler's expense. Why not? Surely you are entitled to a vacation and should have it. Well, we are willing to finance, pay for your vacation if you so wish. We hope to take a hundred girls in our party. Will you join us? Every girl bringing in fifty or more subscriptions will be taken with us to the big Elk's Convention so enroll now. Come to the "Contest Department," Room 118, 200 West 135th Street any evening except Monday and get a book. The rest is easy but it is up to you. A little effort at this time will mean so much pleasure to you later on, when the hot days of August roll around and you have plenty of time but no place to spend or enjoy it. Then you will think of the girl friend and the wonderful time she is having in Atlantic City, swimming, boating, fishing, playing tennis or golf during the day while at night the cooling breezes from the Atlantic Ocean sweep inland to make life pleasant to happy couples as they dance or motor or stroll the boardwalk. Oh boy and are you going to miss this glorious opportunity? Let's hope not. So far very few clubs have entered candidates for the contest and we would like very much to hear from them. Almost every organization knows of some popular young lady; perhaps she is a member of the club or maybe she is related to some member of the club. Well, why not have her carry your colors? The club loses nothing by this. But on the other hand, if she wins one of the first three prizes, the club will also win a prize. We are giving away $100 in cash in three prizes. The first club prize is Fifty Dollars; the second is Thirty-Five Dollars, and the third is Fifteen Dollars.

The decorative work was a thing of beauty strangely reminiscent of settings in Italian vistas—the collation savored more of angel food than it did anything earthly. The invited guests were: Richard N. Campbell, Benjamin Barnett, Charles Hickland, the Fred Hicklands, the Lanes, Mr. Wormbell, the Walkers of Jamaica, Long Island, the Thomas Freemans, of Jamaica, Long Island; the Benjamines, Earline Evans, Prof. Johann Tessman, the Roscoe Linsleys of East Orange, the Jacob Moodys, Miss Toms, Ruth Bradley, Lillian Valentine, the Carters, the Calvin Kings, Daisy Pace, Ella Field, Herbert Hustin, Laura Dickerson, the Jones, Walter Landolph, William Woodward, and Alvin J. Moses. * * * Marguerite Avery, Soprano, packed the Imperial Auditorium to overflowing Sunday afternoon. Alberto Bimboni was at the piano. Miss Avery who is known throughout the country as one of our best Concert Singers, has given concerts in our largest schools, and is always greeted by a large and responsive audience. She is a member of the Hall Johnson Choir, and her solo work has stood out prominently in many of Mr. Johnson's best numbers. In the rendition of the Spirituals she captivated her audience, and to use Mr. Johnson's own compliment, "it seems as if "City Called Heaven," "My God Is So High," and "Honor to The Lamb" were arranged especially for Miss Avery's voice." She was showered with tion to that, we are giving away a silver loving cup to every club turning in 100 or more one-year subscriptions or the equivalent. Get busy Mr. President, if you have the interest of your club at heart. Here is a splendid opportunity to enrich your club's treasury. NAMES OF CONTESTANTS DIANA BARRETT HARRIETT MORRIS MRS.

In addition to teaching all commercial subjects the curriculum includes special courses in Algebra, English Grammar, Elementary and Advanced Arithmetic, Social Science, Geography and United States History. A course is also given to teachers in preparation for Public School License No. 1, New York City. This latter course is given by Prof. Howard Day, B. S. (College of the City of New York), M. A. (Fordham University, N. Y.), who for a number of years has been eminently successful in preparing teachers to pass this examination. Prof. Robinson, the Principal of the school, is not only actively engaged personally in teaching but supervises all studies. The Lincoln Secretarial School is one of the best equipped in New York State, and visitors will be gladly shown through the premises, and if they wish may attend classes for the first week, without any charge being made, to enable them to judge of the class of education given in this now well known institution.

Those elected were: president Ella Anthony, vice president Helen Gibson, treasurer Inez Davis, secretary Mary Barbour. The chairmen of the five committees are, social Mabel De Lon, membership Elesie Goode, service Lottie Hoolt, education Blanch Jones, advisory Vivian Barker. The election was preceeded by the initiation of seven girls and from the eries and squeels we expected the entire police force to raid us. The Westchester Spiritual Chorus scored another success in its recital Thursday night. The chorus and its guest soloist, Mr. Harry T. Burleigh, sang to an audience of 600. The chorus was under the direction of Mr. Reginald Swain of New Rochelle. The accompanist was Mrs. Ethel Rowe of White Plains. Invitations have been issued for the dance of the Be Square and Royal Oak Clubs on June seventh at the Longview Community Church. Since Norval Moore is the only one of the "older young bloods" to be invited to the Junior Be Square's party, we have been wondering if it is due to his personality or merely his size. Evidently, Vivian Barker knows nothing of W. Baptiste's "unique way with women" or we are sure she wouldn't have left him stranded while another took her home.
