The Interstate Jattler
Frank Byrd to Make Debut as Playwright
FRANK BYRD, a native of Washington, D. C., and an instructor and student of Physical Education who has been secretly trying his hand at playwriting, will make his literary debut in September, when "Color Line," a play inspired by travel incidents, will be released by the Warren Book Company of Staten Island. "Color Line," which is Mr. Byrd's first serious attempt, although he has written two other plays, has been read and criticized by Prof. Koch of the Dramatic Department of New York University where Mr. Byrd is at present a student in the Department of Physical Education, and by Miss Helen Watts, dramatic critic of Greenwich Village. A brief history of Mr. Byrd's travels will give you an idea of what we may expect from his play.
Every summer since 1924, except in 1926 when he was swimming instructor at a New England Scout Camp, Mr. Byrd has spent hitch-hiking by land and sea, and he attributes his desire to write about Negroes to the impression he received on these trips. In 1924, he hiked from Omaha, Nebraska to San Francisco where he signed on a ship enroute to Sydney, Australia. But at the Naval Coaling station on the Samoan Islands he politely jumped ship paddled forty-two miles with a native to Savail and enjoyed the simplicity or the native life for eight weeks. Then he calmly returned to the naval station, awaited the arrival of his ship, travelled back to San Francisco in the brig and got himself released and went by rail to Washington.
The summer of 1925 was spent in Port Elizabeth and Capetown, South Africa, where he was deeply hurt by the attitude of the whites towards the natives. He came back to college with a keen desire to portray the true character of the native African.
In 1927 he hitched-hiked to eastern Canada. Although charmed by the Old World manners of the French Canadians in Quebec, he had a taste of prejudice in Montreal when he was ejected from a dance pavillion in the Old Dominion Amusement Park.
1928 was particularly hectic for him. In the spring he traveled to Southampton, Winchester and London to observe English University methods in physical education; and for the first time he discovered the general attitude of the English toward Negroes. He was thoroughly disappointed. Without money, he attempted to stow away as a first-class passenger on the Berengaria. He bluffed his way through as far as port, was turned over to the immigration officers at Southampton and got a taste of prison life in Wingate and Winchester. But after three days, he was released through the efforts of the American Counsul and Col. Naylor, father of his friend, Paul J. Naylor of the Royal Air Force, who graciously acted as his host and escort during his six weeks' stay before he was deported. The trip cost him five cents, the subway fare on reaching New York.
Last June he went as cabin boy to Kingston, Jamaica, but was in port only a few days and did not succeed in forming an adequate opinion of race relationships in the Island.
Mr. Byrd is a graduate of the public schools of Washington, majored in physical education under Dr. Edward B. Henderson at Dunbar High School where he was a member of cross-country, basketball and swimming teams. He attended college at Springfield, Mass., from 1925 to 1927, but was forced, from lack of funds, to accept a teaching position in the public school system of Camden, N. J., for half a season. While at Springfield, he made the cross-country, track, swimming and boxing teams. He is at present specializing in physical education at New York University.
Mr. Byrd's play will be available to Tattler Library members as soon as it is off the press.

"June days—with June brides and flowers in the grass
June days and sweet nights—the couples now do pass—
June days—the knot's tied—ah Joy—as keen as pain,—
June days and they're one—it'll NEVER be again!"
T. PHILLIPS Church was the scene of the loveliest wedding ever, on Thursday evening, June 20th at 9 P. M. when Coral Jacqueline Lowe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard B. Lowe of 59 West 130th Street became the bride of Mr. Bruce Schuyler Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson of Mt. Vernon, New York. The ushers were gallant gentlemen, and very handsome, bless them. Everyone seemed to be there and we were most anxious until the procession began. The music, ah the music—it was beautiful—and the guests—ah the guests—they just couldn't miss a thing.
Just cooln't mess
Mr. John Wilson, husband of the matron of honor, led the march with a most dignified air, the ushers, one by one (they were so nice looking—) Richard Lowe, oh you "Chink," the bride's brother, Lloyd Hamilton, a regular six-footer, Malon Foster, a lady's man, Freddie Hill, who later turned out to be such a wonderful man, Arthur Edwards, who looked just forty with his monocle—and then—the matron of honor, Margaret Wilson, who was as pretty as she could be, I wish I could describe her dress, but I can't, the maid of honor, Wilhelmina Lowe, the sister of the bride, came next, and she was lovely in a three tone dress of orange tafetta, trimmed with tulle, which touched the floor, a drooping orange hat with a wide orange ribbon trailing to the floor, orange satin slippers. The bridesmaids, four in all, Helen E. Douglas, in three tone pink hat and shoes to match (they all wore satin and tulle, and their hats matched). Helen was just beautiful, and her partner, Iris Wilson, in green—both looked like two flower gardens to us, then Ethel Wilson, lovely in three tone purple, and her partner, Mildred Brown in yellow—pastel shades—beautiful girls, soft music, handsome boys—what more could one ask to see, but the bride in all her glory and the groom. The best man, Buster Anderson, brother of the groom, is all that causes feminine hearts to stand still. The groom was in the seventh heaven, though I warrant he was nervous, (they all are).—
The flower girls, Clarice Quinney, cousin of the bride, and Nellie Eppse, were the dearest children, such pretty little things they were, and not a wee bit scared. The page, William P. Churchill, Jr.—you should have seen him carrying the pillow, upon which rested the ring. They all took their places, and then—Dear Lord, I have seen brides, and brides, but Coral was the most beautiful one I have ever seen—she was radiant. She walked down the aisle, her arm linked with her father's, her father looking as if all were glory—but again, the bride—She was a nun bride, and it would take me a long time to describe her bridal dress. It was made of ivory silk, reached to the floor, and was caught up in corners all around by the most wonderful lace, ivory slippers, her headdress was set off by a rhinestone band, her train was just beautiful, and the, flower girls—the groom came forward to meet the bride, and so they were married. The ceremony was more than impressive, and many wept unashamed. The recessional was just as thrilling because the bride and groom were very happy, the bridesmales and the ushers smiled at everybody, and the proud parents of the bride and groom followed last. We all were whisked away to Mme. Walker's studio, where the reception was held. The men kissed the bride and the ladies flocked after the groom; we met everybody, we introduced everybody, we were served chicken salad, olives, deviled eggs, rolls, all the ice cream and cake, punch a-plenty—with a kick,—though so many of the ladies didn't know why the punch tasted so good—they just asked for some more, bless them. We ate over again, didn't we—there, was plenty to go around three times over, we danced and we danced, the bridal party had their picture taken twice, then, the bride and groom had theirs taken together—and they looked sweet, then we danced some more, and we congratulated them some more, and we dined some more, and of ten-thirty, the bride tasted her boun-

quiet of lilies to her bridesmaids, and her sister caught the boquet, so we teased Mr. Lowe about having to give another wedding soon for Wilhelmina, and by 11 o'clock, we noticed that the bride and groom had flown. So we stayed on until the end—and made whoopee afterwards.
The next day at one, the bride's mother gave a lovely breakfast for her at her home, 50 West 130th Street. Invited guests comprised the bridal party of the evening before and Anne Douglas. We had not had anything to eat since early morning, naturally, we begged Mrs. Lowe to serve us without blushing, and we did credit nobly, aye very much so to her breakfast. In fact, we very graciously "dined up" the place. The bride and groom were the recipients of numerous presents, a whole room full—just jammed with the loveliest gifts, and all a bride's little heart would desire. Everything on creation, and they have the darlingest home in Williamsbridge. They will have their At Home soon. Yes, we all are going, but the wedding, and the bridesmaids, and the ushers, and the best man, and the groom and the bride, and the presents, everything—ah, the bride was born with a golden spoon in her mouth after all.

Have at last discovered an ideal sport for the hot weather. I believe Chauncey Scott is the originator of the idea. Anyhow, every Sunday he gets together ten or twelve couples who rent a yacht and spend the day cruising up and down the Sound, bathing and fishing. Last Sunday they sailed to the ritzy Oyster Bay and returned with the correct sun tan, refreshed souls and fish galore. They wore informal beach and sports togs and enjoyed life for a day in the easiest way. In the group were: the Chauncey Scotts, Clayton Demings, Irma Overton, Lonnie Archer, Dr. Perky Perkinson, Nettle Williams, Addie Tate, Ezel Dunford, Joseph Collins, Harry Davis, Loretta Jones, Pearl Craft, Nettle Black, Earl Scott, Mae Sloane, Johnny Hawkins, the Maceo Pinkards, the Joseph Empys, Christine Dees and Chick McKinney.

gives. How could she ever give a small party when Mr. Babo must just bring Mr. Caro and by the time all the exponents are raised, believe me, it is any house full. But, what does it matter with the one and only charming A'Lelis, who knows how to make everyone happy.

On June 10th in the little old historic town of East Greenwich, Rhode Island, situated on beautiful Narragansett Bay, the inhabitants once more paused in their daily routine to pay homage to the graduating class of 1920. This Commencement Exercise marked the one hundred and twenty-seventh year of the founding of East Greenwich Academy, one of the oldest preparatory schools for boys and girls in New England. Among the graduates was Enrique Cachemaille, Jr., who was presented last year with three certificates and three block letters of recognition for

athletics in basketball, football and baseball. He was playing manager of the baseball team last year. These block letters "G" were also awarded for his scholarship, games played and sportsmanlike conduct. He had the distinction of being one of two boys in the entire school to receive three letters and incidentally the only race boy in the school. In addition to the three letters won last year, he has been presented with two more this year, one for track and the other for winning first place in a dual track meet. He will enter one of the New England colleges in September.
Young Cachemaille is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Enrique Cachemaille, prominent members of Harlem society. Mrs. Cachemaille, a graduate of Syracuse University, has an honor or two of her own.

PREPARATIONS are being made for the second annual Flower and Dog Show which is sponsored by Mrs. Nannie C. Montero of Brooklyn. The show this year will take place at the Fayerweather studio, sometime in the late summer.
The show has proved to be quite novel and a delightful, gorgeous exhibit of flowers and a large display of our canine friends. Mrs. Montero, upon being interviewed gave several reasons for the awakening. Her shows are given to stimulate horticulture work, scientific research, decorative improvement, and a closer communion between plants and animals; her theme being more flower shows for the living and less expensive ones for the dead. Another purpose is to carry on a fight against the pests and enemies of vegetation. The more practical intentions are to beautify back yards, windows, and home life, encouraging self-expression of beauty and harmony in surroundings, however lowly.
A prominent place is always set aside for wild flowers, making emphatic the point of protection and not destruction of these flowers in their natural beauty. Large containers of wild flowers, golden rod, heath asters, Queen Ann's lace interpsersed with graceful sprays of grass have given the studio a woodland flavor. The award last year offered by a Norwegian artist for the most healthful plant was awarded Miss Jean Simon, 278 Macon Street. It was given for her Golden Ball Specie of Marigold.

The beautiful Fayerweather studio in Brooklyn which has for such a long time been so very popular with "the set" of Brooklynites, has recently been purchased by Walter A. Simon who is well-known in his city as a successful realtor. The building, a threestory brick, is situated on one of the principle streets of Brooklyn. It consists of a fine-looking ball-room which is on the main floor, card-rooms, club rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, baths, office rooms, check room, and an upper floor of five rooms and bath. The ballroom with its soft side lights, gorgeous crystal ceiling lights and which will comfortably hold some two hundred persons, is really one of the finest of the medium sized halls in Brooklyn.

However among the local young ones were seen the adorable Edith Scott (every party we go to we see Edith . . . distance means nothing in her young life, and are we glad to see her, and How!) Pearl Henson, Ellen Lewis Moore, Katherine Johnson, Edith Grovesnor, Barret Johnson, Bill Smith, Mal Fulcher, Emory Moore, Walter Grovesnor and George Bossell were among the others present.
Dr. Frank Horne arrived in Brooklyn last Friday fro mthe South. Among those who welcomed Burke's talented brother were: Mrs. William Pickens, Harriet Pickens, the Arthur Funns, Catherine Cardoza Lewis, Constance Willis and Jimmie Holbrook.

History and Practice of Pharmacy
By OLIVER N. LAMORELL,
Ph. G. M. P. S., Eng.
I WAS asked by many readers of these weekly short talks on the practice of Pharmacy to explain the medicinal properties and uses of the various crude drugs and preparations as stated heretofore.
Answering this request, will briefly give the following:
(a) Medicinal Properties, (b) Uses,
(c) History and (d) Habitat. These explanations I hope will meet the many requests and serve the purpose for which they are intended.
If you will recall about three weeks ago, I explained certain active principles obtained from certain parts of various plants and differentiated these active principles one from another. In this issue, I will explain one of the many, so to peak, of these alkaloids (active Principles) which is common to most people.
(1) Caffeina (Caffeine) Syn- (Thein). This alkaloid is obtained from the leaves of Thea Sinensis or from the dried seeds of Soffea Arabica, which is largely cultivated in tropical countries; viz, Brazil, Arabia, Java, and many South and Central American, and West Indian countries. The bulk of our Coffee exportation is from Santos, Brazil.
Action: The action of coffee internally, by excessive tea-drinking, may cause indigestion but this is, so to speak, probably induced by the tannic acid in the tea, and not due to the caffeine. The teeth of tea-tasters are liable to decay. With some persons coffee is slightly laxative; but this is not known to what ingredient it is due.
An informal reception in honor of graduates of Pratt Institute will be held at the Y. W. C. A. Thursday, June 20th, at 4:6 P. M. The guests of honor will be three graduates who are residents of Ashland Place, Miss Orcene Berry of Pittsburg, Pa., who finished the course in Institutional Management; Miss Carmon Hinton of Englewood, N. J., and Miss Lottie Rhodes of Louisville, Ky., who complete courses in Dressmaking.

Mrs. M. C. Lawton, one of Brooklyn's best citizens, has accepted a position on the Committee of Management of Ashland Place Y. W. C. A. and the chairmanship of the Industrial Committee of the Branch. On Friday evening, June 14th, she was the guest of the Metropolitan Industrial Committee and the Brooklyn Industrial Girls League at the annual banquet held at the Central Branch Y. W. C. A.

Miss Dorothy Coleman was hotsess to the Bridgettes last Friday evening. Miss Christine Talbert won first club honors. Miss Winnie Masn the guest honrs, and Miss Evelyn Lawrence carried off with her the Club's appropriate consolation gift.
A club of Brooklyn girls who call themselves the High Hatters, gave an informal dance at the beautiful Fayerweather studio last Friday evening. Music, judging by the number of Lindy Hoppers (that's a dumb dance, I think), seemed to appeal to the guests. Officers of the H. H. Club are: Adele Holley, who is a sweet, little girl resembling a "Jap," president; Mildred Lancaster, vice president; Mildred Peterson, secretary; Beatrice Fountain, assistant secretary, and Lillian Davis, treasurer.

Medical Notes
BY KELLY MILLER, JR.
SYPHILIS is said to be malignant when it pursues a rapid, destructive and uncontrollable course from the
outset, and when it occurs in individuals who are debilitated by tuberculosis, alcoholism, or bad nutrition and privation; but it may also occur in strong, well-nourished persons.
1.
Why syphilis should at times pursue a rapid and uncontrollable course, and at others be very mild and easy to treat, is not clearly understood.
One theory is that a certain immunity to the disease has been acquired through heredity, which affords a partial protection, for it has been noted that when syphilis is first introduced among a new people who are unaccustomed to it, many cases of the malignant type occur. Another theory is that the lymphatic glands do not delay the entrance of the poison into the blood sufficiently to allow substances which combat the disease to form, and the body is overwhelmed with the poison, for it has been observed that there is but very slight swelling of the glands in those cases.
Syphilis of the malignant form resists ordinary treatment and it usually begins with fever, and the brain often becomes the seat of syphilitic tumors and a stopping up of the arteries. The early lesions are generally distributed over the body, contain pus and break down with extensive ulcerations. The patient becomes anemic, run down and loses flesh rapidly from the destruction of the red corpuscles of the blood.
Sometimes the secondary stage is entirely lacking and syphilitic tumors develop prematurely, so that from four months to a year, after infection ulcerations may be found over the entire body. Death may be caused from destruction of some vital organ or from the general run down condition, but if the resistance of the system is strong enough to withstand this drain upon the vitality, the patient may live, but in a weak debilitated condition of the body.

At the Lafayctte _ In the meantime, }
The managers at the Lafayette
Theatre in presenting Louis Arm-
strong, scored a signal triumph
this week and gave their patrons
one of the biggest _if not the big-
gest treat ever tendered theatri-
cal patrons of this city, at such a
lew price of admission. This young
musician is a genius and he had
to take encore after encore for
his remarkable handling of the
cornet. °
Louis Armstrong and his almost
equally famous band are the big,
outstanding factors of this week’s
monster program at the popular
old Seventh Avenue playhouse. It
is without question one of the fin-
est revues presented at this the-
atre in the past year or so.
“Move Along,” is the title of the
production and move it does with
a world of speed. ‘“Ukelele” Bob
Williams is the director-general
and. how Bob handles that nifty
aggregation of entertainers.
There’s Gallie De Goston, the
funny little man with his ka ka
laughter; Joe Byrd with his droll
mannerisms; “Honey” Brown and
her mighty toes; Charley Ray un-
der cork a la Al Jolson; Petite Ida
Bennett, the Three Steppers and a
red hot aggregation of hoofing
beauties. Oh boy, and what a pro-
duction,
Practically every one of the en-
tertainers has not been seen in
New York in nearly a_ year.
“Honey” Brown, as most of our
readers know was the original
King Vidor heroine for “Halle-
fujah,” but was taken ill after the
first shooting of the big all-Negro
photo play talkie. Bob Williams
has been in Chicago for eight or
ten months as has Joe Byrd. Gal-
lie De Gaston has not faced a New
York audience in over a year and
none of the others have been seen
here in six months or longer.
eSo their home coming was in
the nature of a triumph. The first
nighters gave the Prodigals a
warm ovation and an extended one.
But as hot as was that big ova-
tion of Monday night, it will be
nothing compared to what’s due
them this coming Friday night at
the mid-night show. Ob, boy! and
yours truly will surely be there.
The Lincoln Closed
Taking advantage of the summer
season, Mr. Schiffman has closed
the Lincoln Theatre for a period
of six weeks. During that time
many.improvements will be made
in the structure to modernize it in
accordaance with the demands of
this new era in the show business.

In the meantime, Mr. Schiffman
and his large. staff will redouble
their efforts to present the greatest
stage and screen shows at the
Lafayette and the finest picture
programs at the New Douglas. ¢
At the Alhambra
The three-in-one program at the
Alhambra Theatre is one of the
best we have seen at this house in
several months. Maybe it was due
to that cooling opening when the
Alhambra girls. tripped out in win-
ter regalia with a sort of North
Pole setting. It was nifty and we
‘managed to forget the heat 1s we
looked at the gigantic cakes of ice
and wished we were on one of
them.
This spectacular revue of the able
Sandy Burns is called the “Iceberg
Follies,” but take it from one who
suffered terribly last Monday.
there’s no folly playing around or
on an iceberg these torrid days.
The program read, “Keep Cool
With Sandy Burns,” and that’s
just what we did. But there was
not so very much comedy and this
was.a blessing. We were too tired
and hot to laugh and the world
knows that that’s one thing we
sure love to do.
Rosa White, Alma Travis, Dewey
Markham, Queenie Price, Flo Wil-
son, Edna Harris, Bruce Johnson
with a washboard and the fast
steppiing Alhambra girls helped
Sandy in the fun.
The drama, “The Carnival Girl,”
showed Edna Harris at her best.
Miss Harris played her part of the
snobbish daughter jam-up. But the
real star, the cleverest of them all,
is Tom Mosely. Others in the cast
seen to advantage are Barry Car-
ter, Susie Sutton, who worked real-
isticly. Artie Cain had a very diffi-
cult part and did creditably well.
George Wiltshire fell from grace
and turned in a miserable piece of
work. Teddy Blackmon is crude
and has a lot to learn about acting
and so has Edna Young.
“Talkies” At Roosevelt
For Saturday. Sunday, Monday
and Tueseday, June 29, 30, July 1
and 2 ,Harlem’s “Home of Perfect
Talking Pictures,” the Roosevelt

Avenue, takes great pride in an-
nouncing the presentation of one
of the finest pictures of any year.
This is “Weary River" in which
Richard Barthelmess. makes his
debut in talking pictures. ‘Weary
River” gives Barthelmess his in-
itial opportunity in Vitaphone syn-
chronization. For the first time

MANZY ‘(JAZZLIPS) RICHARDSON, the cccentric
comedy entertainer whose remarkable acrobatic work startled
all Broadway. He is one of the outstanding featurcs of Connie’s
“Hot Chocolates”, the spectacular musical comedy production
now playing at the Hudson Theatre, 44th Street, just off
Broadway.
this star's voice will be heard in
conversation and song. He also
plays the piano. .
“Weary River” is the story of a
singing convict and contains an
abundaance of ‘action and senti
mental dramatic interest. The
cast includes Betty Compson, Wil-
liam Holden, Louis Natheaux,
George Stone and Raymond
Turner, Every member of the fam-
ily should see it.
On the same program the Roose-
velt will show the opening chapter
of the finest and most thrilling
serial story of the year. This is
“The Fatal Warning,” whose cast
includes some of the best serial
players on the. screen and is
headed by Ralph Graves and
Helene Costello. *
The ‘voice fade-out,” a clever
mechanical arrangement by which
the voice of a screen player in a
talking picture may be made grad-
ually to fade-out and correspond
to the action he is describing, was
evolved for use in “The Leather-
neck,” William Boyd’s new dia-
logue and sound picture which will
be on view at the Roosevelt as a
special holiday program for
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
July 3, 4. and 5. This showing will

Patrons of Harlem’s only vande-

145th Street near Eighth Avenue,
have several very fine treats in
store for them. On Thursday and
Friday, June 27 and 28, Irene Rich

drama entitled “Daughters of De-
sire.” This is a gripping drama of
modern life, well photographed and
superbly enacted by a strong cast.
It will especially please all of Miss
Rich's followers. The vaudeville
program to be presented with
“Daughters of Desire’ includes:
Harvey and Hunter, Blaine Cherry

and the Three Dancing Sensations,
For Saturday, Sunday and Mon-

and the “Three Rosebuds.”
At the Douglas
Another all-talking hit, Willard
Mack’s “The Voice of the City,” is
the principal attraction at_ the New
Deuglas Theatre for this Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday. The
extreme simplicity and directness
of this thrilling underworld melo-
drama make it one of the’ most un-
usual and popular pictures to play
recently at Harlem’s largest. mo-
tion picture theatre. “The Voice
of the City” has been acclaimed
by critics as a perfect example of
all talking picture technique. With
its plot condensed in a time space
of twenty-four hours, the story
moves with extreme rapidity. From
the moment it opens, with Boyle’s
sister and sweetheart awaiting
word as to whether he has really
survived in a sensational prison
break, there isn't a wasted mo-
ment through the exciting man-
hunt by Biff, the detective, until
the striking climax and romantic
finish. Willarad Mack, who was a
great screen star in 1913 before
he became one of America’s great-
est playrights, has exercised to the
limit his knowledge of both stage
and screen to create a real ob
ject lesson in how talking pictures
should be made. The splendid cast
of stage and screen notables” in-
clude: Robert Ames, Sylvia Field,
Mr. Mack as the detective, John
Miljan and Duane Thompson,
Commencing Saturday for a four-
day engagement, John Gilbert
comes to the New Douglas in his
latest success, “Desert Nights.”
The story, which opens in the grim
and death-infested regions of
South Africa, is based on the sen-
sational and daring robbery of a
diamond mine. How the manager
is tricked into displaying a fortune
in uncut stones, only to be made
a prisoner and forced to accom-
pany his captors into the heart of
the desert country in an effort to
escape with the priceless loot, is
one of the domestic highlights of
the production.
The theme of the picture hinges
on the merciless revenge of the
mine manager when he discovers
that hig captors have been de-
serted by their guides and he is
released in hopes that he might
guide them to safety. His meth-
ods of torture in this primitive
country is merely to keep them in
want of water and he mockingly
laughs at their terror of the des-
ert and its torturing heat.
The supporting cast of “Desert
Nights” includes Mary Nolan, for-
mer Follies beauty and Ernest Ter-

A NUMBER, quite a number at that, of our readers have in-
quired in various ways the why of the Alhambra Theatre
people’s new advertising policy. That gave us a laugh. But in
all seriousness, we feel that an explanation is
due our readers and here it is. The short and
sweet of the matter is that the Inter-State
Tattler will not be subsidized or dictated to by
an advertiser. The Alhambra people write their
own reviews of their shows, which are released
to all the local weekly publications. But the
Tattler does not use them, will not use them
unless fully satisfied as to the honesty or ac-
curacy of the statements contained.
We are ready and eager to sell advertising
space to whomsoever may desire it. But we re-
serve the right of our own editorial opinion.
accurate, unbiased, sincere and honest in our dealings with all,
the public as well as the advertiser. But, when we permit an
adve.tiser to write his own criticisms of programs being sold to
the public, we are unfaithful in our duties as an instrument of
protection and guidance for the public.
Small minds run to small things. Such people do not surprise
me‘in the least. The test of character is very often found in an
individual’s reaction to adverse criticisms. ‘The man*who can
facé’ such a test without losing his temper and stooping to petty
forms of retaliation is a man in the fullest sense and such men
are-worth meeting. But the other kind, “Deliver Me From.”
The funny thing is that on severa! occasions we have been told
that the public does not read our articles; that. they carry no
weight is the inference drawn from such conversations. But
just the same when you dont declare their shows the “Best In
Town” you are a bad fellow. : .
We don’t mind them billing their shows in advertising copy as
“The Best Shows In Town,” but damned if we are going to give
our editorial opinion as such unless the shows are worthy of it.
Lillian’s Par-tee
Loveable little Miss Lillian
Green threw another birthday
party last Thursday nite or to be
exact, Friday morn at her resi-
dence, 121 West 144th Street. Lil-
lian celebrated her umpteenth
natal anniversary. Last year she
was bumteenth years old and with
each birthday she’s getting
younger.
Well. the gang was out in force
and helped the Lillian to celebrate
with a vengeance. In fact, they
stepped on the gas so forecfully
that one of Mister Whalen’s rep-
resentatives became rather curious
as to the why of so much joy m
one community. He came to see.
Well, he had to laugh, and de-
parted feeling much better, very
much better. Ob, boy! that joy-
water would make any one feel
jolly, including the illustrious C. B.
if you can guess whom we mean.
Yes, we all had a glorious time
and Phil was the happiest giink in

Before attempting to relate my reac-
tion to Hot Chocolates, the enlarged
Connie’s Inn Revue. which made its
Broadway debut Thursday night at the
Hudson, I should confess that o’fay
revues and musical shows leave me fiat,
peeved and irritable, and that of the
recent tinted shows, not a few have
fulled to move me to ohs and ahs,
aibeit, they are my favorites. My ap-
proach to them is more intimate and
consequently, my attention and sym-
pathy are assured. However, I was a
bit dublous about Hot Chocolates. I
had seen Connie's floor show and hadn't
passed out; the reports from the sub-
way where it tried out for a week were
not’ favorable; I hoped it would be
good, but I didn’t expect it to be.
But I got fooled. Hot Chocolates,
exhilarates you like nothing at all,
regardless of the fact that the comedy,
outside of a Big Business bit featur-
ing: Jazzlips Richardson, Eddie Green
and Billy Higgins, is nothing to speak
of; that there are spots that would
make even a flapper blush; and that
you see distinctly a Blackbirdishness.
The dancing does it. And the Bon Bon
Buddies lead the way. If there is fas-
ter, peppier or more thrilling ensem-
ble dancing going on anywhere, you
couldn't make me believe it. Of course,
the girl-chorus can step, too, but it is
so good to look at that it would be
alright if it couldn’t dance.
In front of this marvelous back-
ground is Jazzlips Richardson, a grade

Savoy’s The Place
A lot of folks are wondering where
to go on the 4th of July and we are
wondering why. Often I’ve heard it
said that many a guy stumbles over
2 gold mine looking ‘for diamonds in
the sky. That’s the way it is with
folks wondering where to go on the 4th.
You would think that they had never
heard of the Savoy. Yes, that’s the
place, the one and only place for 12
hours of continuous fun amid ideal sur-
roundings and that’s where you’ll find
the WISE man and woman, boy and
xirl.
Why? Huh! how ean you ask such
a foolish question. Well, just pin back
your ears and get this into your noodle.
First because the “Gang’’ will all be
there to enjoy the breezy atmosphere
and indulge in cooling refreshments.
Second because Johnson’s Happy Pals
from dear old Richmond, Va., will
make whoopee. Also Bennie Carter and
his Play Boys will jazz as never be-
fore. And the Missourians, well folks
they showed you once before and
they'll show you again.
Oh boy, “it's tight like that” and it’s
2a wow. So put on your dancing shoes
and toddle over to the Savoy and cele-
brate the 4th. It's the one best bet in
town. i

The little statue seller approached him with a model of Christopher Columbus and entreated the man to buy. He waved him away but the seller persisted and kept the statue in front of the man anyway he would turn. Becoming angry the man grabbed the statue out of the Italian's hands and slammed it on the walk smashing it to bits. The infuriated old statue man grabbed another statue from his basket and following the man's example smashed it also, remarking in a very hurt way "Dam! you breaka' my Christ o' Columb, I breaka your George Wash!" My idea for telling you this joke is because it reminds me very, very much of the prohibition law. Figure it out for yourself.

Since I am quite frequently in the neighborhood of 130th Street, there I can be found, you can bet. A decidedly comfy little place.

Chocolate is presumably a very nourishing food, but hot chocolate, as served by Connie Thursday night, proved so stimulating that the idea of calling it a night after the finale was preposterous. Which is only another way of stating that I said to Alberta Hunter, Eunice Shreeves and Tottle Tyler, my hostess. "Let's step out." And that's what landed us in Smalls' for the midnight revue.
***
Smalls' is my passion for several reasons. First of all, you are made to feel welcome, even if you aren't fair enough to pass; second, its interior decoration scheme is the last word in zonkiness and the style de moderne; third, Charlie Johnson's music is the notes, and the drummer sways like nobody's business and makes you feel it; fourth, because the revue has Myra Johnson, to whom I took a fancy when the Sugar Cane was in its glory; Bea Foote and Willie Jackson, whose Golf Flaying Papa makes Pool Room Papa a Sunday school hymn; Dick Campbell, Brown and Brown, Warren and Gill, Wade and Cole, Joyce Robinson, Edna Davis, who dance and sing down, and a chorus of Violet Fisher, Ruth Cherry, Marlon Tyler, Jennie Salmon, Edna Soarez, Eva Bradley, Estelle Finley and Carmen Lopez—that is very easy on the eye and nervous system; and last, but I assure you, not least, because my

We got such a thrill out of the whole business that we decided to see the second show; and while waiting for it, in walked Arthur Norris and Rupert Marks, the new matinee idol of the Ida Anderson Players, with Bertha Lambert, Amy Brown and a couple of bottles. That settled the evening. Three was no hour to turn in after a successful night.

A‘ a recent luncheon meeting, the Committee of One Hundred
Women, Auxiliary to the National Association for the Advance-
ment: of Colored People, brought to a close its most successful season.
Mrs. Inez Richardson Wilson, the chairman of this committee for the
past two years, was particularly enthusiastic over the coming confer-
ence of the N. A. A. C. P., which is being held in Cleveland from June
26th to July 3rd, urging all members to make every effort to attend and
serve as delegates. Mrs. Wilson will represent the New York women
and Miss Dorothy Peterson will also serve as a New York delegate to
report certain phases of the conference to the Committee at their fall
meeting. The women’s groups throughout the country have become
an important factor. They have proven themselves to be of tremendous
value and of great importance to the National Office. Each year during
the conference, one afternoon meeting is set aside for the discussion of
and reports on the accomplishments of the Women’s Auxiliaries. Here
they exchange ideas, outline methods, suggest plans for the raising of
funds and how these plans may be adapted for the different communi-
ties In which they work. This year, Mrs. Wilson will preside at the
Women’s meeting and will also speak on the work of the Women’s
Auxiliary in New York.

The Third Annual Recital by the
pianoforte pupils of Mme. Tempy Smith
at St. Marks’ Hall last Friday evening
was the artistic success that we ex-
pected. Mme. Smith, who came from
New Orleans three years ago, has been
an instructor in music for twenty-one
years and has a class of both white and
colored children of 210. Their work
Friday was an excellent example of
the ability and genius of their teacher.
Among the outstanding numbers
were: Overture, Spanish Serenade
(Smith), Smith Family Orchestra:
Piano Solo, Hours There Were (Mack),
Lillie Miki, a three year old genius;
Piano Solo, Prelude (Gullet), Mocile
Smithroick; Piano Solo, Moonwink
(Wagner), Jessie Lee Powell; Piano
Solo, Little Fairy Waltz (Streabbog),
Ernest Mennotte, Joseph Smith, young
drummer; Piano Solo, Minuet in G@
(Beethoven), Lucille Smith; Piano Solo,
Rank and File (Lang), Alfrada Fran-
cis; Il Trovatore (Dorn), Dalphne Bel-
linger; Piano Solo, Edelwise Glide
(Vanderwick), Helen Smith; Piano
Solo, and Peasant (Suppe), Ralph Jes-
saming; Piano Solo, Mazurka, op. 54,
No. 2 (Godard), Mildred Smith; Piano
Solo, Prelude No. 3 (Chopin), Flor-
ence Francis; Dance, Helena Smith;
Piano Solo, Dance of the Golden Rod
(Fitzpatrick), Dorothy Irving. .
The Smith family of eight are all
musicians. They all play the piano
and one or more instruments, sing and
dance. Their specialty which closed
the program, was unique and a master-
piece in technique.

There were decorations, beautiful.
There were favors, many. And as an
innovation, the Four I’s wore Barry-
more shirts, Windsor ties, blue trous-
ers. Zonkie! Then, when they thought
their guests had tired of throwing con-
fetti around, they brought on the en-
tertainment. There were the Four Pep-
per Shakers, the Three Brownies and a
portion of the revues from the Lin-
soln and Alhambra Theatres. No, my
dears, this was not a show, but a dance
where one was royally entertained.
Bob Bramlet was in charge of the en-
tertainment and believe us, he knows
his amusement, There are so many
members of the Four F’s (ninety-nine,
we're told), but the officers are: Ernest
Hunter, honorary resident; Ernest Fox,
president; William S. Daniels (who,
in the absence of the president, offici-
ated), vice-president; Arthur Walton,
treasurer; Maurice Calhoun, financial
secretary; Ted Blackmon, correspond-

Find Real Happiness Through Exercise
MY vacation loomed. Hurriedly I scanned maps and charts wondering just where I intended to enjoy a much needed rest after a season of nerve wracking business worries. Deciding upon a beautiful retreat far up in the Berkshire Hills, I busied myself with packing my grip for what I planned to be the most glorious ten days of a rather mundane existence. In an hour my task was finished,—still something
seemed to be missing from my bag, fashioned from the copious hide of an Everglades alligator. Fretting and stew-

MY vacation loomed. I scanned maps and dering just where I intended much needed rest after a seas wracking business worries.
Deciding upon a beautiful up in the Berkshire Hills, I be with packing my grip for wh to be the most glorious ter rather mundane existence. my task was finished,—still seemed to be missing from copious hide of an Everglade
ing over the fact that I could not recall just what was lacking, I happened to glance up at the dresser mirror, and what I saw mirrored there, startled me beyond explanation. Eyes sunken so that I resembled the facial contour of the famous "Gargoyles" of sainted Notre Dame Cathedral at Rheims, a sickly, pasty complexion, that might easily promote "Self Pity",—a hydra headed monster that wrecks our lives as surely as the deadliest of poisons. It was then I decided that the one thing I had left unpacked was "HEALTH," and I determined then to go in quest of it, and to leave riotous pleasures strictly alone.
Unpacking my grip, I proceeded to hurry downtown and purchased a golf kit, tennis racquet, fishing rod, hiking boots, shotgun, and a few other necessities that a cleareyed, fresh-complexioned clerk suggested would make my trip ideal from the standpoint of a sportsman. My vacation over, I returned to my duties as a clerk in a wellknown race Insurance company,

and gained rapid promotion each year thereafter. Today I am selling not only insurance policies, but free advice to my fellowmen along the line of "Real Happiness thru the medium of exercise." I play tennis and golf above the average, am a good angler, can handle any type of Sailboat, and have started to live at a time when most folks are thinking of dying.

Learn Your Pastime
ESPECIALLY important is it that one learns the game they intend to specialize in. Knowing the rules that govern a particular game adds greater interest to the sport and causes the participants to have respect for the academic or technical ruling as the case may arise. Tennis and Golf are two splendid spring and summer games that tone up the system and can be indulged in moderately by people of all ages. Golf is the least known game of the two to us, yet each year finds fifty or a hundred new

students capable of averaging around 80 for the most difficult eighteen hole course. However, they are either too selfish or lacking in race consciousness to voluntarily instruct the great masses who would be tempted to play the game if someone would just take
8
the time to tell them something about it. The great trouble in golf, at least one of its troubles-is that most golfers try to pivot too much weight on the left foot. This means that in the down swing the weight is coming back to the right foot, which is exactly where it should not be. A slight sway is not only not harmful, but is absolutely necessary. Certain golf scientists through weighing experiments, have arrived at the deduction that at the top of the swing the weight should be evenly balanced upon both feet, or as nearly so as is humanly possible. This matter of measuring the comparative weight through scales is the bunk pure and simple and aside from creating
A21
fun for those fed up on the "Einstein Theory," and not enough of open air sports, is all wrong. The correct swing may be compared to a baseball pitcher's method of throwing a ball where he turns his body and lifts his left foot from the ground. In this case his weight is entirely upon the right leg as he completes the backward motion of hand and arm. In the golf swing, there is just a touch of weight on the left foot at the top of the swing
By Alvin J. Moses
but nearly all of the full weight is on the right foot. If you discuss our explanation of weight distribution to the average golfer of any group, he'll be inclined to scoff at you and ridicule the whole diatribe.
But you can wager all the tea in India and China, that unless he gets his weight to the right foot on the back swing and has the left leg and foot ready to support the down swing with his chin pointed back of the ball—he won't get anywhere, as Hagen or Johnny. Farrel will bear me out in this.
***
In discussing the basic principles of games, theories are one thing and principles are another. No one can get away from vital fundamentals, no matter what the age, weight or build. And not one golfer in a quarter-million knows what the vital fundamentals are. To be very candid dear readers,—the much abused "Duffer" in golfing parlance is likely to know a great deal more about "What it's all about," than the $7,500 club professional, trick shot specialist, or potential champion.

Play in Life's Elixir
NOW that we have thoroughly gone into the pyro-techniques of golf with you, suppose we listen to some plain talk. If the joy of living amounts to a "Bunker Hill" it is largely because of the condition our bodies are in. Beauty on the veneer, amounts to nothing if within the core of the apple the worm of disintegration lurks. At the office, around the fireside, in the pulpit, the universal tonic of the world is "PLAY" in abundance. Working, yea slaving eternally for the things that make life sweet and alluring has its drawbacks in chronic old age that is unable to drink a toast to the sacrifices of a bubbling and vigorous youth. Aside from its being not fashionable to grow aged.—folks really are still kittenish and young well past the half century mark nowadays. Were Ponce DeLeon alive in this age, he would readily admit that the fountain of youth he sought for in vain is within the easy reach of every modern—rich or poor. Wholesome outdoor or gymnasium recreation is the fount from whence you should quench daily if for no more than ten minutes a day: Get down to the floor if you are forced to remain indoors because of your work, lift the body full weight from a prone stance at least ten times, inhale and exhale slowly with a deliberate arm raising motion that fills the lungs to capacity. Stretch across the vacuumed cleaned carpet of your living room and from a sitting posture reach for your toes at least ten times, rounding out the exercise by lying full length and snapping the body forward to the toes until your stomach muscles feel as—and what would you expect from fellers whom you've neglected to exercise properly all these many seasons. Don't let that deter your enthusiasm for haven't you read that professional baseball players suffer from "Charley-horse" and divers other complaints each season in the spring camp, though they play the game without a layoff season in and out?
Rush to the nearest drug store, purchase a bottle of "Absorbine, Jr."—the wonder rubdown of the century and apply it judiciously to the troubled spots or engage a masseur or the services of a friend who perhaps will exercise with you and will require a similar first day or first week treatment. Start off playing in moderation just as you would not overstuff at the dinner table or with a chance acquaintance over a glass or two of unadulterated pre-war poison.

IF you intend slinging a baseball around, don't prepare for it with a tennis ball as the difference in weight will tell on the arm and develop soreness. Practice with a golf club whether mashie niblick or mid iron at an imaginary ball, slow motion like as they do in the movies. Perfect that follow through with the tennis racquet, cricket bat, or Lacrosse wicket by the hour developing unconsciously the strange power of co-ordination that is so essential to the true athlete.
American League Baseball Echoes
One of the biggest surprises of the American Negro Baseball league in this first half of its initial season is the Lincoln Giants, directed by the not-so-old J. Henry Lloyd. John has several bags of tricks and he has several master magicians to work them.
He has taken a bunch of cast-offs and made pennant contenders out of them. Practically every player on his club has been fired by some other team, and look at them now. His outfield of Namon Washington, Dolly Gray and Charlie Smith is the best hitting and fielding garden trio in the league. George Scales and Riggins are infield aces and the former leads the loop in home runs. Jim Keenan dug up two Kids in Florida to bolster his gunning crew and one of them. Everett, yielded but six hits and no runs to the Grays in his first start. Rector, Winters and Holland are three of the best pitchers in the game.
Down at Atlantic City Ben Taylor has been building steadily. He has finally induced Connie Day to come East again and that young man is fill-

ing the hole at second base. On third is Jess Walker, a Los Angeles boy, who has been playing with the big teams on the Coast for several winters. Ping Gardiner and George Carr, back from hula hula girls in Honolulu, will be eligible to play on June 24. Luther Farrell, the great southpaw of the club, has joined the A..C. traffic cops and has ended his league career temporarily. Ben Lindsey has been fielding and hitting like Richard Lundy never did. The B-Giants are almost set for the rest of the season.
The big bats of Jud Wilson, Rap Dixon, Jess Hubbard and Pete Washington are thundering out base hits now and keeping the Black Sox up there. The "million dollar" infield is living up to its monicker and the hurlers are going along smoothly. Script Lee, the Washington fishmonger, has surprised by his comeback. The heavy-footed Clark is one of the finest catchers in the game and is an excellent foil for Ryan. Yokely, Flournoy and Lee.
Highpockets Hudspeth has "made" the Hilldale infield. Before the advent of this veteran Clan Darble was wobbly around the first sack, but the long boy has changed all of that, and his hitting has been hard and consistent. With Mackey away, Joe Lewis has been a hero and has hit well. More than one pitcher has learned better than to pass Dihigo to take a chance on the Maryland lad. Mackey has rejoined the club but will not be eligible to play until June 24.
Martin Dihigo has been called out of the infield to pitch and has delivered several nice games. Jackson is improving at second base and the outfield is smooth and capable. The arms of Cockrell, Cooper and Strong always yield well-pitched games and Carter is rounding into form.

SATURDAY afternoon luncheons seem to be quite "the thing" nowdays among the elite. Last Saturday afternoon saw one of the prettiest held this season at the Marian Tea Room, 20th and Bainbridge Street. The hostess, Miss F. Millicent Lawrence, looked stunning in a creation of navy blue georgette ensemble relieved with a pink waist trimmed with rhinestones. Guests were Mesdames R. W. Baily, Vivian Baily, W. B. Carter, Joseph Moyse, Sarah Moore Pride, H. Braxton, Wm. Morris, F. C. Howard, Frank Christmas, James Patterson and Miss M. Hundley. A most delectable three course luncheon was served, then came the surprise when the hostess announced the main object of the gathering was to play cards.
* * *
The guests then returned to a private dining room and spent the rest of the afternoon playing strenuous games at which Mrs. R. W. Baily, Mrs. J. C. Moyse, Mrs. S. M. Pride and Mrs. J. Patterson were successful. The hostess will be remembered as the Superintendent of Nurses of the Douglas Hospital, 16th and Lombard Sts., who is on a leave of absence following her illness last year. Her brother, Herbert S. Lawrence has recently completed his studies in medicine, capturing the L. R. C. P. and S. Edinburgh (Licentiate) of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons) and L. R. C. P. and S. Glasgow. He is now doing post graduate work at the College of Tropical Medicine, Pembroke Place, Liverpool, England.

Among the many festive parties tendered graduates of this year's classes was that given by Miss Beatrice Williams, a prominent young modiste of New York, 574 St. Nicholas Avenue, for her adopted brother, Wilbur H. Brown, and his classmate, Mr. Luther J. Porter of Wilmington, Delaware. Both young men were graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts and Science from the University of Pennsylvania on Wednesday morning, June 19th. Mr. Brown completed his degree in three and one-half years, and Mr. Porter graduated with honors. Mr. Porter was a member of the honorary society, Eta Sigma Phi, while both young men are members of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.
The party, which was given at Mr. Brown's home, 4105 Spring Garden Street, was attended b ya happy group of prominent young people. Mr. Brown was presented a handsome large Eastman Kodak by his club, the Jolly Roger Social Club, and a beautiful stick

pin by his sister, and in addition to other gifts was the recipient of many congratulatory letters and cards from his many friends and well wishers. The graduates were roundly cheered and extolled by those present.
Mr. Porter plans to teach awhile before doing any graduate work, while Mr. Brown will re-enter the University next fall for his Master degree, after which he plans to study law. Both "grads" are well known in their respective towns, Mr. Porter having graduated with first honors in his high school class in Wilmington, while Mr. Brown graduated from the old James Logan school with first honors and received the Industrial Arts School Scholarship from the South Philadelphia High School in 1925. Mr. Brown was thrice president of the Jolly Roger Social Club.
Among the guests invited were the Misses Gladys Stansbury, Trummell Valdera, Estelle Clayton, Lavinia Harris, Lucille and Virginia Taylor, Evelyn Thomas, Lauretta Elzey and Eloise Simpson; the Messrs. Samuel J. Brown, John G. Robbins, Leonard Halnes, Theodore P. Wood, James White, Eugene Broks, James Shorter and Claude Thompson.

Or Amazing Trea
NOW you can have the joy of a smooth, light, lovely skin—now you can whiten your skin ten shades in ten seconds—or amazing new treatment costs you nothing! And at the same time it banishes gloss and shine for hours—holds face powder all day long — conceals freckles and skin blemishes—heals and soothes skin irritations.
Never before was there a skin whitener like this. It is not a bleach, not a liquid powder, but an entirely new and different French type creme. You just spread it on face, neck, hands and arms. Rub it in like vanishing creme. Instantly the appearance of the skin is lightened. Immediately all shine and gloss vanish. Marvelous for evening wear—makes arms and shoulders ivory-white—will not soil or mark rilothes.
Men say this new discovery is just the thing to use after shaving—it removes the oily shine, and gives a refined light tone.
This new discovery is called Fan Tan Whitening Cream. Test it at

In matertalistic America little
attention Is paid to the art of mak-
ing love. Foreign countries, to the
contrary, encompass few who have
not ability in that direction. This,
no doubt; accounts for some of our
girls’ quest for lovers of alien
lands.)

Winsome Little Bronze Miss Comes From Seventh Place To Take Lead Away From Miss Watson—Cleo Sewell Jumps From Tie In 22nd Place to Win 8th Place— The Fish Club Stage A Sunday Banquet For Their Candidate, Miss Vasselles—Three More Clubs Will Enter The Contest Next Week
WHILE little Miss Diana Barrett swept to the top with 69,000 votes, thus displacing Miss Laura B. Watson, the outstanding achievement of the contest last week was the sudden and unexpected spurt of Cleo Sewell, who jumped out of a tie for 22nd place to close up with the leaders with 24,000 votes. This entitles her to eighth place in the Tattler's big "Convention Queen Contest" and within easy striking distance of the leaders.

believes in going it alone all for herself. So Miss Pinder represents her Brooklyn and wants it understood that she represents Brooklyn. She's eager to win from the New York girls and is making a wonderful fight all by her lonesome. But we expect that several of the Brooklyn clubs will come to her aid in July and help the little Trolley Dodger in her bid for the honors of being the Tattler's
Miss Barrett's taking the lead forced the other leaders to drop a place or so in the race. Miss Watson's 60,000 votes were sufficient to keep her in second place but Margaret Roberts of Atlantic City is not very far behind the two leaders. This little Atlantic City girl is making a very determined bid for the honors and she is almost certain to be among the first five. Miss Roberts has an exclusive field in which to work and with no opposition. If she takes full advantage of her good fortune, she'll give the home or New York girls a hard battle for the honors.
no club has entered the race from Brooklyn. Speaking of clubs, the Fish Social Club whose motto is "No Matter How Far We Travel, A Fish Never Sweats." gave a reception for their little color bearer, Miss Doris Vasselles, last Sunday night at their club center in West 128th Street.

Another little out of town contestant so to speak is Miss Mildred Pinder of Brooklyn. While Brooklyn is just a stone's throw from Manhattan. there is always that feeling that the big borough across the bridge is a distant city. Brooklyn has always been sort of independent of Manhattan. She has her own base ball teams, amusement centers and etc. and
