WHO and what is Marcus Carvey? Is he a fool or a philosopher? Is he genius or ignorance? Is he politician or prophet? Is he a hero or a rogue? What is his aim? To what degree has he succeeded? Has he helped or hindered the Negro? If so, how and why and to what extent? How many people did he really organize? To what extent have the Negro people profited by his activities, if at all? These are important questions. They deserve intelligent answers. Now that the white heat of controversy has died down somewhat, it is high time for a calm, balanced, judicial analysis of this man who, regardless of what one may think of him, has certainly made an impression on the world. Everywhere in the world people are facing problems and the Negroes have more than their share. Whether in Europe, Africa, Asia or the Western Hemisphere, wherever there are Negroes, they are faced with certain problems and handicaps. These problems need to be solved and the handicaps removed. What is the nature of these problems and handicaps? How can they best be solved and removed? Most Negroes are unthinking, naive folk — like the masses of people of every race. They may know there is something wrong with their children but they seldom know exactly what is wrong. That requires keen criticism and analysis; the ability to articulate thoughts and emotions; the endowment of vision. Only a few Negroes know exactly what is wrong and even a smaller number have the ability, courage and inclination to criticize, analyze, think out things and see beyond their noses. Such Negroes are natural leaders only awaiting the occasion and opportunity to step forward upon the world rostrum and articulate the hopes, desires and demands of those who through lack of education, knowledge and inspiration are unable to do so. Moreover, to be recognized as a leader, such Negroes must be gifted with the ability to organize large numbers of people. Of course there are two kinds of organization: The persuasion of vast numbers of people into a single group—the physical gathering, and the persuasion of vast numbers of people into believing one's views—intellectual gathering. In one we have the leaders of men; in the other the leaders of minds. Sometimes one individual combines both types. For example, George Bernard Shaw, W. E. B. Du Bois, Count Keyserling, men of that type are intellectual leaders who have millions of followers scattered throughout the world. On the other hand men like Ramsey MacDonald, Clements Kassalle, J. Finley Wilson, A. Philip Randolph and others, are leaders of men. Frequently, of course, we have a very great man like Napoleon, Randolph and Marcus Garvey who, to a marked degree possesses the ability to formulate ideas and philosophies that attract many followers and at the same time to shape them into virile, workable organizations. Marcus Garvey had and has a philosophy that has thrilled and moved millions of people. At the same time he possesses the ability to bring together thousands of those who believe in his views. Here we have the germ of real leadership on the grand scale that lives in history. What is this philosophy? It is well to get it clear in the beginning. Not only is it well to understand it thoroughly but it is also necessary to understand the man's background. Philosophies do not just happen. Often a man's philosophy of life owes its existence to a chance happening in childhood: an insult, an injury, a triumph. Great oaks from little acorns grow and great ideas have their genesis in the most trivial and apparently insignificant happenings. Let us then, before discussing Marcus Garvey's philosophy, consider his background. John B. Watson, the founder of the Behaviorist School of Psychology and recognized as the man who first reduced psychology to a science, assures us that what we are and what we believe when we reach manhood and womanhood is the result of childhood impressions and experiences. Moreover, these views and prejudices which almost all of us possess and which have their source in the environment of our infancy, are very tenaciously held all through life. Now Marcus Garvey was born in Jamaica, British West Indies on August 17, 1887, of very black parents. Moreover, his people were poor peasants despite his claim that his father had been a wealthy man. Now there are thousands of people with such parentage born every day in Jamaica, in Africa and in America. There is nothing unusual about it. What makes it unusual in the case of Marcus Garvey is that in his infancy he played with little white and malatto boys and girls. When he grew a little older, these playmates were withdrawn by their parents. At that time in Jamaica and even to a marked extent today, there existed a three-way color line: whites, mulattoes and blacks, Marcus Garvey: An Analysis By SAMUEL L. BROOKS At the top of the social structure were the whites who largely owned and controlled affairs. Their number was and is very small. Below the whites came the mulattoes. Many of them were equal in wealth and education to the whites and were frequently related to them. The best jobs went to the mulattoes and they had the same social privileges as the whites. Indeed, they were legally considered whites. Their number was around 50,000. They were officials, small merchants, and go forth. At the bottom of the social structure the muddles of Jamaican society were the blacks, the pennants, the workers; ignorant, illiterate, oppressed. They got all of the bad breeds. They always got the dirty end of the sticks. Mired in sloth and immorality, they were the exact counterpart of the Negro pennant in the rural reaches of our Southern states who exists intellectually 400 years behind the times. This Sensational, Gripping, Dynamic Story woven around one of Modern History's most interesting characters Marcus Garvey! will leave you tingling with desire to read the other installments that will follow consequently each week in this Publication only. Garvey — The Inspirational Leader. Garvey — Genius or Fool. Garvey — An Unsung Prophet. EDITOR'S NOTE Needless to say, the condition of the black Jamaican pennantry was not their fault. They had done the rough work of the island for hundreds of years with no recoup sense save the slavedriver's whip, a few rags and enough food to enable them to produce profits for their masters. Naturally they were unlettered and primitive. From this class Garvey emerged. As a black man he was desplaced both by the whites and the mulattoes. The lower classes in every country are desplaced and ridiculed by the upper and middle classes. It is, unfortunately, the way of human society. Everybody wants to be better than someone else but this destro could not be gratified by a black pennant in Jamaica who came along when Garvey did. Of course there are plenty of black men in Jamaica who have risen to prominence, but the most remaining that until very recently the black man was penalized by society because of his color and thus handicapped. Survey quite naturally protested against this scheme of things but to no avail. It is a difficult matter for one youngster to change an entire social structure, no matter how gifted and shipment he may be. His first wound was received when he realized that he, an ambitious youth, was handicapped by a condition over which he had no control whatever. The next wound he received was when his white and mulatto playmates were taken away by their prejudiced parents. He was furious. He wanted to tour down this structure and remould it nearer to his heart's desire. 'The look of course, was impossible. Neverthings that did not stop him from dreaming about it, thinking about it, nighting.' He saw the entire world compiling against the black man. He saw the mulatto a worse enemy of the black man than the Caucasian. On every hand he saw another. imaginary. He would not of color prejudice.

It is full of delightful groups of colored debutantes, and of coloured STUDIO APARTMENT 1 ROOM & KITCHENETTE FURNISHED 252 West 135th Street --- hostesses, and the social gossip makes good reading. Instance:— 'The great Jules Bledsoe put over a very swankie party Sunday night at his studio apartment in honor of the return of our A'Lelia Walker to the bosom of Harlem. 'It was very gay and altogether tight like that, which means that the guests were smart, the liquids plentiful, and the foods delicious. CHARLINE ELIZABETH BATTLE, daughter of Mr and Mrs. Samuel J.

Mr. Walker Hoyt was honored at a birthday party on Tuesday evening. The party was one of those "before the war" affairs, and the repast was unsurpassed. It seems that social life is much the same all the world over. MR. GOSSIP.' ```markdown ``` This chap, Mr. Gossip, is one of the most popular society reporters in London and confines his articles mostly to the Royal Society people. I am sure, however, that he is interested in Negroes as he often speaks about Hutch, (Leslie Hutchinson), Robeson and others, and when I read this article yesterday, I had a good laugh and said, "Even in far away London, the Negro society and its happenings really give the afay something to talk about. I take delight in letting offyms see our Negro journals and I feel that in them we have nothing to be ashamed of, regardless of the hair straightening ads and other funny things. While everyone over there is all excited about Mrs. Hoover inviting Mrs. DePriest to ten, many of the royal society people would gladly entertain her if she were in England. Many of the papers on this side have commented on this recent happening, only to poke fun at the American and their supposed-to-be society. They accept and entertain on a large scale all black people whose position and standing call for such, and it is done by the King Page Five and Queen on down. Should Congressman and Mrs. DePriest ever visit England, I am sure they would be highly entertained and presented to the King and Queen. I am very lonesome these days without my "heartstring," little Miss Haroldine Browning, and of course, I certainly miss her mummie. I am happy, however, to know that they are having such a grand time. Have just had a letter from them in Denver and they are now enroute to Los Angeles. Seems like they are a million miles from me. London is somewhat quiet these days. The departure of the Porgyites left only a few people of color in and around London town. Layton and Johnstone, popular as ever, are finishing a fortnight run at the Palladium after which they will take a six weeks' much needed rest.

LA MORELL, Ph. G. M. P. S., Eng. In the last issue, I explained a certain class of alkaloids, and uses. I will presently give you a synopsis of a plan, the history, preparations obtained therefrom, and their uses. Cacao (Cocoa) This is a small tree growing to the height from 12 to 24 feet, and bearing pink flowers, from the trunk to its many branches. This plant is cultivated extensively in Africa, West Indies, South and Central America and Mexico, and is valuable for the preparations it yields. (a) Cacao Preparata (Prepared Cocoa) Is obtained from the pods of Theobroma Cacao Linne and other species of Theobroma. It is prepared from the roasted cured kernels of the ripe seeds, after being deprived of a portion of its fat. In the form of chocolate it is a nutrient. Its chief constituents in the form of fats, are: Olein, Palmitin and Stearin. Preparation: The seeds are roasted and the seed-coats separated by winnowing. The oil is then expressed by subjecting the kernels to hydraulic pressure between hot iron plates, and run into moulds where it congeals (becomes hard). (b) Oleum Theobromata (Oil of Theobrome) Syn.: Cocoa Butter. Obtained by methods of preparation above from Theobroma Cacao (Linne). It is a yellowish white solid having an agreeable odor (smell) and a bland chocolate taste. It is brittle at temperature 25 degrees C., and melts at body temperature, freely soluble in Ether Chloroform and Benzene, insoluble in water (being a fat). It is an Emollient, and is employed in the preparation of suppositorles as a base. Applied to the skin for the removal of black spots, it is said to remove them, and restore the original color (c) Theobromine; This is an alkaloid obtained from Theobroma Cacao (Linne), a crystaline white powder, appearing under the microscope as trimetric needles. It is spearingly soluble in cold water, and nearly insoluble in alcohol 90 per cent. It is said to be a diuretic in cardiac disease, and has a similar effect as caffeine, but stronger. Its diuretic effect is said not to be genuine, and is rather a cardiac stimulant. tival at De Riggi's Hall at 272 New Main Street. *** Master Ralph Gulliver of 220 New Main Street is the third person of his family in three successive generations to graduate from P.

N. J. Medical Notes By KELLY WILLIFR. JR. SYPHILIS affects the nervous system in two ways, by inflammation involving the arteries and the coverings of the brain and spinal column, and by causing a degeneration of the nerve cells and fibers. Acquired or hereditary syphilis may cause syphilis of the nervous system or cerebro - spinal syphilis. 1. When caused by acquired syphilis the symptoms may appear at any time after the appearance of the chancre. The usual time is from the third to the tenth year after infection, but they have occurred while the usual secondary symptoms are present. It is important to note that during the secondary period a certain proportion of cases show the characteristic changes due to syphilis of the nervous system by examination of the cerebropinal fluid. Such cases as those which, if not then treated as cases of nervous syphilis, will probably develop that condition later. When due to congenital syphilis, they may appear at any time after birth and cause symptoms similar to those of acquired syphilis. Cerebral palsy (pawl-ze) or paralysis and epilepsy may sometimes be so caused. Either the brain, spinal cord, or nerves may suffer alone. Usually the brain and spinal cord are both affected. In cerebral syphilis, headache is present that is very intense and worse at night. There is sleepiness and sometimes amounting to stupor during the day. There may be convulsions eye trouble and mental depression. In spinal syphilis there may be difficulty in passing or holding the urine. Brain in the back and legs may be complained of. There may be slowly increasing stiffness and weakness of the legs. In both cerebral and spinal syphilis there may be paralysis and both may cause death. Cerebro-spinal syphilis consists of the various combinations of cerebral and spinal syphilis. Syphilis of the nerves causes paralysis of muscles or skin areas supplied by them. In syphilis of the nervous system if an early diagnosis is made and vigorous treatment given, recovery often occurs. Professional Announcement Tel.

OF late, when an affair has to be chronicled, the article is opened by stating "Despite the inclement weather," and so it happened that although Tuesday evening was threatened by a downpour of rain, the ever-popular Renaissance suffered not at all from lack of numbers. This time the cozy little ballroom was transformed into a little theatre, as far as the arrangement of seats was concerned. The dance floor held the "orchestra" seats. THE BALLROOM These chraming young ladies—RAE OLLEY, ANNA SMALL and THELMA WHITTAKER—are surely good to look at. Miss Olley and Miss Small are members of the Young Women's Council of St. Philips Church, which entertained the graduates of Manhattan High Schools on last Monday.

These chraming young ladies—and THELMA WHITTAKER-Olley and Miss Small are members of St. Philips Church, which enhattan High Schools on last Monday. The New York City Federation of Women's Club chose this evening to present the delightful Hall Johnson Negro Choir, the proceeds of which entertainment went toward furthering the work among delinquent girls. The aim of this organization is to establish and maintain a home for delinquent girls in Harlem. Uptown New York's elite was greatly in evidence, with swankie downtown not to be overlooked. Then, Greenwich Village sent its representatives in no small numbers. I arrived late, as usual, but not too late, for I heard the last five numbers by the Choir with Hall Johnson leading them in his unique manner—Deep River; Every Time I Feel the Spirit; I've Heard of the City Called Heaven; You Better Mind, and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Such delightful voices! When this part of the program was over, the officers of the Federation were presented to the audience, the chairs removed from the dance floor and then Vernon Andrades and his ensemble stepped into the scene. Nothing left to do but dance. And how the visitors enjoyed the music! ```markdown ``` Being a warm night, an intermission was very much in order and so Gladys Bentley, the eccentric pianist and vocalist, rendered three numbers that were knockouts—Nobody but That Man O' Mine, Mean to Me, and Handy Man. The rest of the early morning was spent in visiting, gossiping and dancing. The officers of this wonderful group of women are as follows: Mrs. Dalsy Reed, Mrs. Minnie W.

We weren't present but we've been told that 'twas tight like these, them and those. They would be like that. --- The rain did not spoil things for the U. S. S. and this was their first dance. Last Friday they—the U. S. S. and their guests—raised particular whoopee at the beautiful Witaka Club, and as we had guessed it, the Nappans were under the leadership of the prince of fellows, Nappy.

Throughout commencement day, proud parents treked through the building, adding words of praise and encouragement to the pupils and consulting the teachers in the interest of their offspring. Plays, group singing and recitations were rendered in the exercises and a spirit of co-operation pervaded the building. The principal, Mr. Sidney C. Swartz, declared that the exhibition was one of the finest he has seen in any school and commended every one of the teachers for their fine professional attitude and assistance. --- Mr. William Green, president, American Federation of Labor, spoke to the Negroes of New York, on the Negro Worker, the Pullman Porters' Fight for Justice, and the American Federation of Labor, Sunday afternoon, June 30th, at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Rev.

A most propitious weather forecast of fair and cool brought the guests out in large numbers to enjoy the music furnished by "Nappi." The color scheme of pink and green, the club colors, was carried out in the invitations, in the presentation cards, in the decorations of pink carnations and greens, in the touch of pink and green worn by each club member and in the boutonniere presented to each guest during the first dance. The dresses were bright and airy, the laughter light and contagious, the punch cool and refreshing, the group most congenial, and the music—well, you know "Nappi!" The guests included: Chas. H.

It’s a great picture by a great art- ist and the outstanding feature of the splendid program at this pop- ‘ular center despite a corking good musical comedy revue. This splendid photo-talkie by America’s foremost comedian is called the “Singing Fool” and Jol- son had that hard boiled Monday audience in tears, I.sat within a few feet of Sol Leslie and Sol was actually crying. The tears ran down his plump cheeks freely and Sol as I am free to tell you, has been around and knows if you get what I mean. Huh, I did a bit of weeping myself. Irvin C. Miller, clever producer presented a nicely balanced production entitled “Sam From Bam” with a cast of exceed- ingly good entertainers. Edna Barr, Emmett Anthony, Lionel Manogus, Joyce, “Rookie,” Billy Fountain and his quartet, “The Chocolate Dandies” and a spirited girlie dancing ensemble are the musical comedy fun-makers. Three of these clever favorites have appeared with Broadway pro- ductions, namely; Lionel Manogus has the “Appearances” of having fooled Edna Barr in “Harlem” as the Emmett Anthony played with “Liza” while Billy Fountain was shouting “Hallelujah.” Now who said that aint clever. At The Alhambra The Alhambra Theatre’s pro- gram was not so good this week. The musical comedy was built around one of Sandy Burns’ old bits under a new name. Yes, this “Rockaway Revue’ lacked the thrill of its previous presentation. It should have been called “Rock and yAway” or perhaps “Sock-It-Away” and then forget it. Nevertheless the audience seem- ed to enjoy it. This Dewey Mark- ham throws his audience into con- vulsions of laughter every time he struts forth. As for Sandy, he’s only got to start talking and the house ‘is in a panic. Amanda Ran- dolph is another éntertainer whose popularity never seems to wane. Teddy Blackmon plays the part that George Wiltshire played in the earlier presentation and er, Ted- dy’s a corking good dancer. Sandy himself did not appear to any great advantage.

Ted Blackman and Edna Young also chime in with “The Nite You Said Good Nite To Me.” As for the dramatic sketch, “The Police System,” Teddy Blackmon and Artie Cain contributed the best work at the Monday evening per- formance which we attended. Ted- dy as the dope fiend and Artie as “A True Friend.” The witty re- marks or wise-cracks of Miss Cain had the audience laughing gleeful- ly. Hlayes Pryor was at a loss for his lines and the reliable Thomas Moseley was off his feed. Susie Sut- ton was Sussie Sutton and. that’s that. Edna Harris has yet to learn how to be emoticnal but Al Watts did what little he had to do, jam- up. 3 At The Douglas As thrilling and engrossing an underworld tale as has seldom graced a screen is the New Doug- las’ main attraction for Thursday and Friday of the current week (July 4 and 5). The film referred to is “Kid Gloves” starring Con- rad Nagel who is supported by Lois Wilson, Edna Murphy, Edwar.t Earle, Maude Turner and Tommy Dugan. The story of ‘‘Kid Gloves” whic his a talking picture, is that of a society girl whose slight in- discretion implicates her in under- world affairs. The taxi in which she is riding with her lover sud- denly halts in the hottest point of a street gang-battle. She is taken unconscious into the home of 2 woman shoplifter by the taxi driver—and there is fated to meet “Kid Gloves” himself—and to be- gin adventures which change the lives of both. Beginning Saturday and for four days (July 6, 7, 8 and 9) the New Douglas offers ‘a real novelty in all-talking pictures—Monte Blue’s latest starring vehicle “Conquest,” the first serial talkie. “Conquest” is a thrilling audible dramatization of the exploration of the Antarctic in search of the South Pole. While picturing vividly two epochal air dashes into the land of icy mys- tery, it x-rays just as vividly the innermost thoughts and actions of its characters, revealing their weakness and _ fear - maddened treachery as well as their heroism when facing death. H. B. War- ner, that sterling actor, appears as Monte’s pal and foe in “Con- quest”; Lois Wilsion is the girl they both love; Edmund Breese her father and Tully Marshall the lovable old family friend.

NIGHTS Pp With MYRNA LOY ‘Bomboola Clicks “Bomboola,’ the latest or newest of all colored musical comedies ex. ceeded my expectations and I was agveeably surprised with the way the vehicle clicked. It’s a bit dif. ferent from the usual ebony music- al comedy revues of the hour in as much as it presumes to tell a story. Isabell Washington, a lithesome, almost lily-white type, damsel of the many hues and shades of this rainbow race of ours, has ambi- tions to be another Florence Mills. She's been stranded any number of times but sticks to the theatrical profession despite the pleadings of her parents and lover. For in a dream, this great and glorious star, Flo Mills (the name is not men- tioned) tells the Isabell that she has been endowed with the Mills’s marvelous gift of entertaining. True, it's a simple story and at times disjointed, And if you are not very attentive, you'll losé the trend of it. But nevertheless whether you follow itor not, the story of a gitl’s ambition for stage glory is there. Isabell is the star of the produc- tion but she is strongly supported by a well balanced cast that cley- erly cover her shortcomings and yet do. not infringe on or detract from her work. Geo. Randol as her homestead yokel or lover looks and plays the part jam-up and Biliy Andrews playing opposite, a sort of sheik that knocks ’em cold, fails in his attempt to win the Isabell. The yokel marries the gal and that’s something for the story books, The comedy situations handled by “Dusty” Fletcher and John Ma- son provide many a laugh. There is a bit wherein “Dusty” proves to John that after working a whole year at so much per week, John owes the “Dusty” a day’s pay. An- other one “The Suicide” features “Billie” Cortez, John and “Dusty” with “Billie” jumping overboard. The comedians save her; then try to make love. She threatens to call the police and they promptly toss her back into the river. Bernard Burnett is good as Tom Ginn, the chief comedian. : Another situation was a modifi- cation of Eddie Hunter's “Shoes” wherein the police find the law vio- lators at worship. Here too, Miss Washington tells her audience that our Harlem is not as bad as paint- ed. George Randol had the feature song mmber, “Dixie Vagabond” and Mr. Randol sang it with a lot of feeling. Isabell Washington with Rondol chirped “Somebody Like Me” that pleased. “Tailor Made Babies’ by “Billie” Cortez will do. Cecile Mack's “Jubilee Singers” in- variably get a big hand. “African Whoopee” py Isabell and her girls is a poor imitation of Adelaide Hall’s “Diga Diga Do.” Johnny Bragg'’s hoofing holds up THE INVER-STATE TATTLER “Rub-A-Dub” sung. by the Miss Washington. The “Ace of Spades” was a bit over my head but Hilda Perleno seemed to enjoy, her work, The “Swanee Four” are O. K. The dancing will be found very good with ifidividual honors going to an ebony youth who gives a pretty fair imitation of the one and only Bill Robinson. Then that stair dance of the mixed ensemble, six- teen girls and eight boys doing a la “Bojangles” is a riot. Its the finale of the first act and what a finale. Two clever little girls are buried in this vehicle. The first, a Miss Revella Hughes, possesses a splen- did voice and a world of natural ability. The ‘other is. Miss Hilda Perleno who does one whole num- ber and works in several others. Both of these young ladies could be: given more work. In fact, parts should be created for them: F At The Roosevelt Next week is “All-Talking” week at the Roosevelt Theatre, Harlem’s “Home of Perfect Talking Pic- tures.’ The three feature attrac- tions which will be shown during the week have been chosen for their proven worth and entertain- ment and also because they are all 100 per cent all-talking pic- tures. In addition, the usual ex- cellent program of selected short subjects, comedies, novelties and Vitaphone specialties, will be shown. For Saturday, Sunday and Mon- day, July 6, 7 and 8, the feature attraction will be “In Old A-izona,” which is brought back to Harlem for another presentation in answer to popular demand. “In Old Ari- zona” created a sensation. It is the first outdoor all-talking Movie- tone drama with a fine stage and screen cast headed by Edmund Lowe, Warner Baxter and Dorothy Burgess. It is a powerful, dramatic story of the havoc created in the lives of two men by a siren of the desert. “The Donovan Affair” will oc- cupy the feature position on the Roosevelt screen on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 9 and 10. This is Owen Davis’ great stage success and is a story of love, blackmail, murder and mystery. Jack Holt, Dorothy Revier and William Col- lier, Jr., head the all-star, all- talking cast.

And so, if you have never been to this town of bright lights, bright girls and bright cracks, you might be wondering what to do with yourself after you arrive. The best way to see all the sights, and to let all the sights see you, is to bring with you a doubly substantial bank roll and attach yourself to a person who has been in the town for quite a few years, and has finally spent his last cent. Do not, under any circumstances, engage a native New Yorker to take you around, for he will know less about this spacious place than you do. And be certain that you find a person who is low in finance, for if you are spending all the money, then money will be no object with him.. There are various places you might be taken. But you are certain to eventually drop in or climb to a cabaret. They are usually referred to here as night clubs. These are places where you sit at a table, eat something, drink a bit—of anything you have—and watch a girl show called a revue. The food is often Chinese, but occasionally it is anything—even pig fodder. The drinks served are more or less soft, but you are supposed to carry your own bricks with you. After your wiggle water has you carelessly happy, you find that maybe you are dancing, if you are a highbrow. If you are not, you will be doing the breaka-way, Lindy Hop or shimmie. Then you are supposed to be having a good time. Of course, don't let the folks back home hear of your going to the night club or you will have the hand of fellowship withdrawn from you at your next church meeting.

Like Blackburn, Bobby Dobbs, Joe Gans, George Dixon, and other members of his race whose names will remain evergreen in the rough and ready archives of busted beaks as long as the sport is chronicled, McVey has met middleweight when he was but a heavy welter himself, and has never been known to quibble over the weight of an opponent in his entire career, or require of his Manager and pal Maurice Cain,—"Who am I boxing," as fighters invariably do. Johnny Kilbane's Weird Decision McVey fought Pete Latzo out in Newburg Heights, a suburb of Cleveland and Phil Brock was to have been the referee. Just before the fight was due to start the secretary of the jerkwater police commission called Brock out of the ring. The announcer bawled: "Brock will not referee. Johnny Kilbane has been selected in his place. After it was ended and Latzo was helpless and bleeding, a badly beaten man, Kilbane, once a champion, decided it as a draw! He added later—and the remarks got into print pose I'd give a n—— a decision over a white man and a former champ, do you?" Again in Cleveland McVey fought Dave Shade and Matt Kinkle called it a draw, when everyone knew that the westerner had been badly licked. To the credit of the Ohio authorities it may be said here that neither Kilbane nor Hinkle has refereed since. The greatest tribute ever paid Jack McVey was from the lips of John Barry, director of public safety in Cleveland, following that battle "McVey," he said, "you are a great fighter. I am satisfied in my own mind that you carried Shade. Imagine ANYONE "carrying" Dave Shade! Paddy Mullins, the manager of Harry Wills refused to let his main Courtney fight McVey, until the clamor of public protest almost burst his eardrums.

Moses sor and in at least six of the sessions had the edge. McVey landed the harder blows, but his opponent did some clever blocking. It was an exceptionally hard fought combat. Neither spared the other and they showed a brand of boxing the spectators have not been accustomed to witnessing in local rings for many moons. Each appeared to have been well taught in the game of hit, stop and get away. Solid punches were delivered by each, but McVey's blows were more powerful. The battle concluded in a downpour and there was a rush from the ringside, seats to the grandstand at the conclusion of the main event which wisely was staged early. Boston bout that Middleweight AL.

Proved Shiffler During the opening round skillful work, hard-hitting and good generalship on the part of each was in evidence. Jones proved the shiftier, McVey landed the harder blows. A solid right to the jaw midway in the round landed on Jone's head. This brought the spectators to their feet. McVey landed several stiff left-hand jabs to the face. Jones kept tapping with his left. The round seemed to end in favor of McVey because of his aggressiveness. Jones cut loose in the second round however and delivered fast jabs to the face and scored solidly with his right to the ribs and under the heart. A combination which worked exceedingly well for him was a short straight right, under the heart and left to the jaw. This he invariably followed with a right to the head. He appeared to have devised the system that would reach McVey. Fought on Defensive Jones in the third round fought more on the defensive. McVey kept up his aggressive tactles. He scored well with both hands, but the Akron boxer appeared to roll with the delivery of the New York boy. In that manner he avoided punishment. Jones left hand jabs to the face and short ripping rights to the head gave him a slight lead in the fourth round. The Akron middle-weight, beat McVey to the lead throughout and did some exceptionally clever boxing. McVey landed a low left and drew a caution from the referee after he had apologized to Jones. Jones again finished in the lead. The fifth round, was exceptionally fast. Six solid rights went to McVey's head, a few of them landing on his jaw. Scattered His Punches Jones scattered his punches throughout the round. He feinted cleverly with his left, and when he found that Mevey left an opening for him to attack the body, he did so with both hands. in latest pose since annexing World. Critics call him best little man since Al Brown in Great Demand As Champion After Al Brown finishes with rugged Vie Murrone this week, his secretary and manager will endeavor to answer the hundreds of telegrams and letters from promoters and theatre proprietors in this country and continental Europe. As an evidence of this sterling fighting man's great ability to please inside the twenty four foot roped arena, these messages are mute evidence of the great demand in which he is held. Were he physically able and if the Boxing Commissions would grant their permission in the various States, Brown might appear as often as three times a week (provided opponents could be dragged into the ring) in practically every principal city of the east and middle west. The rise of the angular and terrific punching young Panamanian, reads more like fiction than truth. William ("Bub") Hewlette. Panama Joe Gans, Kid Norfolk, and the writer of this article, had more than a little to do with polishing off the rough spots that stuck out all over "Al" like warts on a hedgehog. ' Decision Good matured, ever smiling and pleasant, Brown would listen to the sage advice offered him by these fighters and trainers, and doesn't hesitate today when interviewed on the subject, to give full credit to them for their belief in him. Hewlette is still assisting Al now that he wears the mantle of champ, and rightly enough feels that he stands alone among the men of his division. It would be unpardonable forgetfulness not to mention at this point the great inspiration William Miller, Brown's side kick who travels all over Europe with him much after the fashion that Jerry "The Greek" did Dempsey during the Manassa mauler's heyday. Brown thinks the world of Miller, and confided to us in this exclusive interview that he would rather lose a fortune than part with him. AL MOSES New Jersey Tennis Newark, July 3rd.

"Turn Back, O Time, In Thy Flight" BY DAROLD LIONEL LEWIS NOT so long ago, ten years or so, a collection of stars playing in the silks of the Gleaners Cricket Club, created havoc in the ranks of all their opponents. Full many a time the burden of defense rested on the shoulders of the two last men at the wicket. How they upheld the honors of this sterling aggregation is recorded in the pages of cricket history. "Hold 'em Gleaners," this was the rallying cry of the club's adherants, when things became critical. Their backs, literally to the wall, they held with bulldog stubbornness. Even the mighty West Indian C. C. of past era, marked time, when opposed to this fighting ensemble of men. The best in New York and environs, bowed their heads, one time or another to the prowess of the Gleaners C. C. The men took great pride in their club. There was no selfishness on their parts. They performed for their beloved club; winning the game their highest aim; individual scores secondary. Mary DR. VIRGINLA ALEXANDER, prominent Philadel hian who has recovered completely from her recent illness. At that time such luminaries as B. Wells, K. Spencer, O. Dear, G. Springer, A. and D. Lewis, R. Gittens, P. and F. Brathwaite were at the peak of their form. It is not necessary to say: "Turn back O time in thy flight," what took place years ago, can be oned over again. Intermittently, a few of the stars return to the fold. They may stray; give their services to other clubs; but, they return, eventually, if not to stay, in an effort to uphold the tradition of their loved Gleaners C. C. Their motto is, "Once a Gleaner, always a Gleaner. There is a unity of spirit, cohesiveness and fighting qualities, when the black sheep return to the fold, that gives the opposition many an unhappy moment. Three games have been lost, the present season, poor handling being mainly responsible for the reversals. In protest to this state of affairs the old-timers are coming back, one by one. A team with a background of this outfit cannot be humbled in the dust. The reed may bend to the fury of the storm, but rises again.

The cast consisted of Miss Priscilla Boone, Miss Leontha Wright and Mr. James Fgert Allen, and the production was directed by Mr. Harold Jackman. The play was presented in a semi-private performance given for members of the Negro Experimental Theatre and a number of invited guests. Every member of the company gave a performance that approached professional excellence and was rewarded with long and enthusiastic applause at the fall of the curtain. After the performance Miss Boone and Mr. Jackman received many compliments on their outstanding work, and several of the visitors expressed surprise at the rapid progress being made by the Negro Experimental Theatre. "Plumes" is a folk drama in which a devoted mother is compelled by fate to face the most ironical of Dilemmas. Her daughter is dangerously ill and the doctor advises a last-minute operation. The cost of the operation will consume practically all the family savings and the doctor is too conscious to assure the mother that it will be successful. He will commit himself no further than the statement that is the child's last chance of recovery.

While she is trying to decide between science and sentiment, her daughter dies. The implication is that an operation would not have saved her and a fine funeral is assured—a victory for mother love that is sometimes more devoted than it is wise. Shortly after the performance of "Plumes," Mr. Jackman sailed for Europe, where he will visit the leading theaters of the Continent. He will return to America early in September and plans to direct several plays for the Negro Experimental Theatre during its season which will begin early in the Fall. At a special business meeting held before the performance of "Plumes" the members of the Negro Experimental Theatre ratified the Constitution of the group and virtually completed the organization work which has thus far consumed much of the energy of the group. During the meeting Attorney Wm. T. Andrews, legal adviser of the organization, read a letter from the secretary of state of New York advising him that his application for a charter had been accepted and that the charter would be issued in a few days. This will be the final step of organization, after which the group will be able to devote all its energy to the problems of production.

S.—Dear Jackle: When I opened a letter the other day from J—, a slip fell from it, disclosing the fact that he is a prisoner. He did not tell me this and now I have learned "to care" just a little. What would you do, if you were in my place? Would you stop writing to him? Ans.—It would take more time and space than I am allotted to answer this question in detail. If we are to believe in the science of psycho-analysis—as many do—we shall readily understand that crime is but the result of complexes, repressions, etc., set up in man's mind on account of environment, training, etc. I can only repeat that which I have set forth before in this column—that there are many on the outside whose conduct is not better than those paying society's penalty. Perhaps the young man thought too, that you knew, as the boys on the inside are usually grouped together. However, this is a personal matter and must be dealt with according to one's up-bringing. --- T. S.—Please advise me. I have a friend who comes to see me quite often but never takes me any place. How can you account for this? Ans.—The young man's circumstances of course, are unknown to me. Perhaps he is short of funds and hesitates from embarrassment to explain. It does seem to me, though, that an explanation should be forthcoming. You might try, very diplomatically, to "bring him into the open" by questioning him relative to his aims and ambitions. In his answers you may be able to penetrate the gloom of reticence and secure the information you desire. * * * R. V.—My boy friend is often seen with other girls, but explains that he meets them in the street. Is that nice and would you tolerate it? Ans.—If you are a jealous goddess, of course you will not think this so nice. There is a possibility, however, that your friend may run into girls sometimes, and through courtesy and the wish to be agreeable, walks with them to their destination. You could tolerate it then, couldn't you? *** Questions by those in love, out of love and otherwise, addressed to the L. H. Editor, Tattler Magazine, will be answered in the order received. * * * Modern Ruth and Naomi going whither each goeth, even into the dark places of loneliness. "We are two pals who are very lonesome and would like to meet two nice young men between the ages of 18-21. They must be of good character and have a fairly good education. Must be nice looking, have good hair, and must be about six feet tall and weigh 145-175. Must be broadminded and have a sense of humor and be lovers of sports and good literature, and must not drink. "Now for a description of ourselves: We are five feet, five inches, and five feet, three inches. Considered good-looking. One has brown curly hair and is of a light cream colored complexion. The other is brownskin and has black hair. Both have brown eyes. We are 17 and 18. "Jackie, do you think you have any young men who would write to us? Please help us." * * * July is the Anniversary month of the Lonesome Heart Column. We shall be very happy if all of our readers who have in any way been benefitted by this medium will write to the editor telling of his or her experience within the next three weeks. ★ ★ ★ The boys from the inside now take their places at the microphone. Each, entreating the "happiness ether" to send forth a spritely maiden, waits with abated breath the answer to his call. * * * "Dear Jackie. Nobile-I am of the class that often finds great interest in reading your Lonely Heart Column. And I find that you have proved to be of great benefit in the bringing about the acquaintance of many friends who have found happiness through this lonely column. "I am a sincere young man and looking forward to the bright prospects of a coming future. I am positive that I can prove myself a real companion for the proper type of lady that is in search of an honest fellow. "Just now I am in a very unbecoming place, since I happen to be one of the closed ins: but of course, my time here is not long, for I am to obtain my release soon. "Could I find such a lady friend who really means to prove herself a friend to a (real) man, then I feel satisfied that I can comply with all the sincere wishes a real lady has. "In complexion I am a chestnut brown, height five ft. 11 in., weight 145 lbs.; considered good looking; hair curly. It is said by all my friends that I possess a wonderful disposition and have a pleasing personality." *** "At the present time I am incarcerated and at the same time a constant reader of your Lonely Heart Column. I am very much pleased with the wonderful results this column has brought about in bringing happiness and acquaintances to those who are unfortunate and lonely and without companions, the same as I am. "I am to be released in about sixty days, again to meet the world with great hopes and bright prospects for a successful future. I feel that I can with better courage improve these ambitions with inspiration from a sincere friend and companion. I also am confident that I can fulfill all the requirements of the lonely little lady who has traveled away from Chicago to that small camping ground, gay Newport. "I would deem it a very great favor if you would be influential in bringing about a correspondence between us. *** "I wonder if you can help me? It seems as though all the world has forsaken me. "I am not particular. Am educated, nice disposition. Would like to meet a nice young lady, someone who will be interesting and considerate also—a true pal and a friend. I am confident I could be the same. Please try to help me!" * * * "While sitting down lonely and blue, a thought struck me and it happens to concern your L. H. column; therefore the reason for my writing you. "Am now confined but hope to be released very soon; hence I would like to get acquainted with some nice girl, between 20-25. Color does not matter. She must be affectionate, considerate and a good sport. "I am 28 years of age, weight 145 lbs., lover of all sports, good dancer and a mechanic by trade. * * * "Dear Jackie—Just one more lonesome heart who is appealing to you from the inside. Since you have been so considerate with others in my predicament, I though I would appeal to you also. I would have done so earlier but was a blt shy. "The end of the road is near. I am light brownskin, age 29, great lover of sports and animals, especially horses. Was a jockey at one time in my life. Weigh 131 pounds, good dancer. "Would like a girl about 20-28, weight 120-125. Color does not matter. Must be affectionate and considerate." * * * Mr. Dunn, self-confessed disciple of slim beauty, in his column, "We Venture to Say," speaks of beauties without a "curve in a stage load." I am inclined to believe that our correspondent, judging from his communication, would be much impressed with the loveliness of these curveless figures. "I am an auto mechanic by trade and have been in your city for about 2 months. Came from Virginia. Am between 30-34; weight 180 lbs., five ft. 9 in. in height, interested in church functions. Dance just a little, like good shows. "Would like to meet young lady 22-28. Color doesn't matter. Must be at least five ft. 4 in., not too stout—the more slender the better." * * * "Faint heart ne'er won fair lady," is the slogan of the writer who dipped his pen in the dark fluid and let it wander across the pages until it reached the domicile of Lonesome Hearts. "Nothing beats a trial but a failure as you know. "I've asked your assistance before and you tried to help me find a nice pal. Sometimes I get blue. Two girls claimed they were nice looking but in my opinion both misrepresented themselves as to complexion. This I'm positive. But, Miss Nobile, I can't give up my quest for a true pal, so send me the address of the 'Beautician' who radios in this issue, provided she resides in the Metropolitan area." (Not to be answered). --- This appeal sent out by a charming little lady is worthy of a reply. "Jackie, I know I'm a nuisance, but 1992/07/06 I'd like to meet a nice refined young lady from nineteen up, to be a pal. Any color, so long as she is refined and well-read, and can enjoy pictures, concerts and such things with me. "I have no mother or sister and am terribly lonesome at times. Perhaps there is another motherless, sisterless lass like me. Perhaps we could room together as I am not happy here. Can give references." IF USED REGULARLY MME. S.D.

KIRTON LICENSED EMBALMER FUNERAL DIRECTOR 89 WEST 134th ST., NEW YORK THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Renders an Additional Service I have read many articles in the newspaper written by Cole Blease (Senator of South Carolina) against my race and have gone on and held my peace, although it was hard to do, but this time when he throws his stones at one of our most honored women Mrs. De Priest, he has thrown one stone too many. I thank God for Mrs. Hoover (the Angel in the White House) who like God Himself looked not on the color of Mrs. De Priest but on the heart, a woman with a snow white character, something that I cannot say for Cole Blease, for his character is as black as the ace of spades. I happen to be from his home town, Newberry, S. C. He was then a tall handsome black-haired lawyer. I shall never forget how he tried to rob me of my character in exchange for his filthy money, but I was too strong in character for him. My mother, a widow at that time, worked for the Atlantic City Girl in Tie With New York Lassie For First Honors in Contest Miss Margaret Roberts Of Atlantic City And Miss Laura B. Watson Of New York Take Lead Away From Miss Diana Barrett. Ruth Holloway Closing In On Leaders And Cleo Sewell Moves Up To Fifth Place. Clubs Begin To Show Action, Two More Girls Enter The Contest. THE outstanding feat of the week in the Tattler's "Convention Queen Contest" was the spirited rivalry between the Misses Margaret Roberts of Atlantic City and Laura B. Watson of New York. These two aggressive, determined young ladies displaced Miss Diana Barrett as the leader and are now heading the big contest with 76,000 votes. All unknown to each other, the two little girls, one from the "World's Famous Playground" and the other from the "World's Wonder City" staged a great battle to take the lead from Miss Barrett. But Miss Barrett is within easy striking distance as are the Misses Ruth Holloway, with 46000 votes, Mildred Pinder, Brooklyn's little heroine with 45,000, Cleo Sewell, representing the King Bee Social Club, with 41,000 and Harriet Morris with 40,000. As a matter of fact, every girl in the contest has a splendid chance of cashing in on one of the big prizes if not the big prize of $200.00. It would not surprise us any to see some girl way down in the race come up with the leaders before the end of July. With seven weeks still left, there is no telling who will win. The race is not always to the swift if we are permitted to paraphrase an old saying. Little Miss Sonia Cook paid us a visit the other day and said she was going to appeal to the Osbiny Club and see if that popular organization would support her. She knows a number of the members and feels sure of winning if they will get behind her in the Tattler's FILL UP- lay in FUEL FOR WINTER NO LONG WAITS DOBBINS COAL CO., Inc. 138th St. & Madison Ave. Harlem 4457—4458—4459 NO SHORT WEIGHTS Ardent Inter-State Tattler Reader Queen." So now we have another determined little lady with her "Hat in the Ring" and that means that there is sure to be a lot of excitement from now on. With the second week in July, the race is certain to tighten up. After this week the girls are about ready to settle down to business and get out after the votes. Then watch the fun and excitement. This contest is going to be very close and like our "Queen of the Classic" affair of last November, may not be won until the last few days. But every girl can win a prize. We are going to take as many girls with us to Atlantic City for the Elks' Convention as possible. The more the merrier with us. But it's up to the girls. If they want to go they have plenty of time to qualify. With seven weeks left, a girl should have no difficulty in filling a subscription book. And with that book filled, it means a pleasant vacation in Atlantic City during the Elks' Conclave the last week in August. big contest. Two more well known clubs are planning to enter girls to represent them in the contest. The Globe Social Club is considering backing Miss Ruth Holloway. This is an organization of young men who are well known throughout the city. They feel that they can win one of the special cash prizes offered to the clubs turning in the greatest number of votes for a contestant. At any rate it will be good publicity for them and they have nothing to lose. Juanita Boisseau sent in her entry last Monday and she's very confident of getting in the big money. "I can do a lot in seven weeks and don't be a bit surprised if I m up with the leaders before the end of July. If I do catch them, then I'll worry the other girls about that first prize of $200.00.

THE INTER-STATE TATTLER small sum of $1.50 a week, while I attended Hoge Graded School where through a very hard struggle I graduated. Cole Blease is the first man that ever gave my brother a drink of liquor. I can never forget how I came home from Sunday School to find my little brother who was then only eight years of age drunk. Mrs. Hoover did not usgrace the White House by inviting Mrs. De Priest to tea, but South Carolina, the old state I love so well, disgraced herself by electing a man like Blease as its Senator. God permitted the Negro to be brought to this country for the purpose of lifting him higher in the estimation of this civilized world. Cole Blease said that he did not mind offending the nigger. Well this is one Negro woman that does not mind offending Blease. He has written his poetry on "Nigger in the White House, now I shall start my book on "Blease and Negro Women."
