The Greatest Stories ever chronicled on that self-styled Potentate MARCUS GARVEY 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.

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- THE CARNIVAL Bridal Party at wedding of MR.

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. * * * Among the first-nighters of the brilliant audience of Hot Chocolates at the Hudson, Thursday were Andy Razaf, who wrote the lyrics; Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh, who were represented in the songs; Al Jolson, Ethel Waters, Saul Leslie, Jack Mills, Mrs. Bojangles Robinson, Alberta Hunter, Jules Bledsoe, Russell Wooding, who trained the choir; Lottie Tyler, Eunice Shreeves, Earl Dancer, Ford Dabney, George Francis, Billie Cain, Maude Russell, Lillian Powell, Jack Carter, Boots Marshall, Dr. Frank Amos, Johnny Hudgins. --- On Saturday evening, the popular Rosey L.

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. . . . The charming A'Lella Walker, on the eve of her departure for Atlantic City, had, as she termed it, just a small party for a few friends Wednesday evening at her apartment, which, when it reached its climax, was well on its way to the usual party that. A'Lella 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.

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. * * * Positively the best card.

Tibbs 1089 Fulton Street Brooklyn, N. Y. Phone: Prospect 0600 BROOKLYN Friday, June 28, 1929 B By Jean Louise Simon 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.

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. * * * During the past week, Yohannes Sellers Travis had as her guests Miss Jimmie A.

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. FOR PERFECT EYEGLASSES Consult DR. D. KAPLAN Optometrist RELIABLE and REASONABLE For 16 Years at 531 Lenox Avenue Opposite Harlem Hospital 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.

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. l ... “‘Hot Chorolates’ boasts an he New Song Gy entertainer cipable of tying any .

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 Theatre which is located at the corner of 145th Street and Seventh Avenue, takes great pride in an- nouncing the presentation of one of the finest pictures of any year.

On Thursday and Friday, June 27 and 28, Irene Rich will he seen in her newest screen 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 Long and Patterson Ralph Demont and the Three Dancing Sensations, For Saturday, Sunday and Mon- day, June 29, 30 and July 1, the feature position on the screen wil) be occupied by “The Wolf Song,” starring the secreen’s newest and THE INTER-STATH TATTLER best-liked lovers—the fiery and dynamic Lupe. Velez and the. stal- wart, Gary, Cooper.- In addition the vaudeville program of five all-star all-colored acts ,will include: Swap and Lee, Andrew Copeland, ‘John- son and Lee, Dorkey Singleton 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- renre ctavre and cereen veteran en Hee ‘ as in, et * \ - ~ % . - a ae 7 S , ms hy a “es . te Tes f 41 ; oS we ak \ in - woe = The Test of A Man’s Character A NUMBER, quite a number at that, of our read quired in various ways the why of the Alham 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.

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 A artist who stops the sbow cold; the Three Midnight Steppers (what a trio): Paul and Thelma Meeres, who, are so pleasing to the eye; Louise Cooke, whose phallic dance is a “knockout”; and the darling of the show, Baby Cox. who not only dances, but sings and tosses across the footlights a person- ality that makes her a wow. The ‘lovie dovie’ work is done by Margaret Simms and Paul Bass, so handsome, so sweet singing. ‘Ain't Misbehavin’,” surely the song hit, is put over by them with the able assist- ance of Russell Wooding'’s Sextette. a favorite up and down town. As for pictures, nothing more could be expected than the Goddess of Rain and Indian scenes. Jimmy Baskette who has a physique -and voice that makes delightful shivers go up and down your spine, sings the theme song of each, Louise Cooke. as the goddess of rain, gets away in the first scene and the Meeres, occupy the center of the stage in the second. It falls to the lot of clever Edith Wii- son to carry the burden of the risque entree. It is spicey in the best Andy Razaf manner and those who like it. will; and those who don't, wont: but as for Miss Wilson. she does it to perfection. Pool Room Papa. a song that led your imagination in the wrong channels and brought down the wrath of Broadway, was removed after the first night. So was a bed used by Miss Wilson in her feature “Black and Thlue."” No, I didn’t like it all, I thought nubout a lot of other things, especially the heat, while sitting it out, but I shall see it again and again, if for no other reason than because the finale of the first half is the best thriller I have found on Rroadway—and Broad- way is my only dissipation. It is called That Rhythm Man and when the curtain goes down, you are screaming. rocking and applauding like a savage. P. S.

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.

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!"

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.

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, 8 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. * * * This true life story, is only one instance of personal interviews with folks your humble servant meets in his capacity of Physical Culturist and Writer, most of whom you would know were we to submit their names. * * 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 ALVIN J. MOSES 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.

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- Exercise 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. م PHILADELPHIA 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 'TATTLERS' Can be purchased in PHILADELPHIA from MR. J. H.

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. NEWARK, N. J., NOTES. by HARRY W.

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.
