Garvey Sensed Need of World Organization! CHAPTER TWO WE know that Marcus Garvey went to England, after traveling about the West Indies and South America, but we know very little about what he did there. He has preferred to draw the veil of silence about his experiences in that country. However, some information has been derived from other sources which throws considerable light on his activities after his return to Jamaica. It is said that in London he ran across Duse Muhamed Effendi, an Egyptian agitator, politician and revolutionist who ran a small newspaper and was somewhat of an authority on the Dark Continent. He knew the possibilities of Africa and how some of the peoples could probably obtain their freedom from alien rule. Garvey drank in knowledge and information from this source. His philosophy was now almost rounded out. For a while he worked in the office of Duse Muhamed Eqendi. There, it is said, was also a beautiful English girl employed as a clerk. Garvey looked upon her with more than passing interest. Was he not in England, the mother of liberty and democracy where all men, regardless of race, color or creed were equal? We do not know what Garvey thought exactly, but we can imagine that, alone and far from the society of his home land, he looked upon the beautiful white clerk with more than passing interest. Maybe she returned his smiles. At any rate he felt encouraged, it is said, to make some overtures. There was a scene in the office, the exact details of which we do not know but concerning which we can venture a surmise. Garvey was a hot-blooded youth of the South; the girl was a cold, haughty Nordic with all of the reserve and indirection of English women. Perhaps Garvey was too precipitous in his approach. At any rate there was a scene. She spurned him. Garvey's hatred for the whites increased immensely. Garvey, embittered, returned to his native land, arriving July 15. 1914, just a scant fortnight before the beginning of the great war. His philosophy was now complete, at least in its primary aspects. Africa, said Garvey, is the home of the black man and therefore should be owned and controlled by the black man. The exploitation of the African natives for the enrichment of the white imperialists must cease. An African homeland must be established as a place of refuge for the persecuted blacks in all parts of the world. Everywhere, he maintained, the Negro is a Negro, regardless of language or nationality. He also held that the American Negro was dying out under the ravages of American civilization and that in order to save himself he must pull up stakes and return to his native land, Africa. He claimed that the thoughtful and independent Negroes would want to go back to Africa, indeed, would be eager to go, once given the opportunity. The Negroes, said Garvey, must arm through organization. They must maintain the purity of the black race just as the whites were trying to maintain the purity of the white race. He inveighed against the Negro color caste system and also was opposed to all efforts toward obtaining social equality with the white populations. In addition, he was bitterly opposed to trade unionism, Communism, Socialism or any movement that might bring the blacks and whites into closer contact and understanding. Out of the experiences of his childhood and youth, and his observations and unfortunate experiences away from home, had arisen his implacable hatred of the white men. From his associations in London with Africans and conversations with men of grandiose vision had come his dream of African liberation. Suppressed because of poverty and color, he became the opponent of all whites and mulattoes, and opposed social equality because he instinctively knew that it would defeat his plans. Because he dreamed of an African empire with himself at the head or holding an important position, he imagined that all Negroes of intelligence and independence would be eager to help him by emigrating to Africa. Garvey's education had been deficient and he was of the determined type sometimes called bull-headed that dismisses all facts that do not accord with his philosophy. He knew nothing of Africa, was apparently unaware that culture and language are more powerful than color. Because he wanted the hundreds of millions of black people scattered over the world to be color conscious and Africa-minded, he imagined that they were or would be. Having no executive ability and having had no opportunity to achieve any, he yet dreamed of organizing these hundreds of millions of so-called Negroes of every shade, religion, language and culture into one compact group. In By SAMUEL I. BROOKS THE LEGEND OF THE LADY OF THE WEST MARCUS GARVEY this he revealed his characteristic blindness to facts and his childlike belief that all obstacles were surmountable. The entire career, writings and speeches give evidence of the fact that the man knew little of history or of the forces that motivate men. Although he had before him in the world war which was then breaking a concrete example of the futility of attempting to unite a continent of people or a race of people with diverse interests or a basis of color, he kept blindly to his course. Nevertheless, Garvey was correct in sensing the need among Negroes of powerful organizations to develop and conserve their economic resources. He was also correct in his strictures against the color caste system within the race and against black men worshipping a white god and black women shamelessly trying to whiten their skins and straighten their hair, although he seemed unaware of the sociological reason for it. He was entirely correct in maintaining that "The standard of beauty within a race is not arrived at by comparison with another race." He was also correct in perceiving that imperialism was practically co-terminous with white supremacy and the exploitation of the black man. What he failed to see and apparently still fails to see is that without a socialistic or communistic state the masses of people cannot be free whether they live in a white country or a black country. If the good things of life are going to be monopolized by a few capitalists, lords and officials, it matters not to the masses what the color of the ruling class may be. It was part of Garvey's program to economically organize the Negro in capitalistic business enterprises, forgetting that capitalism had doomed nine-tenths of the white people to industrial serfdom. Black rulers, history would have taught him—had he read it—are capable of being quite as efficient exploiters of black labor as white rulers are of both black and white labor, and black masters have not shown any evidence of being easier taskmasters than their white successors. And yet he has always maintained that capitalism is necessary to progress. At any rate, the above were the views of Marcus Garvey when he returned to Jamaica. They were not thoroughly worked out but he had thought over them enough to inspire him to found the Universal Negro Improvement Association on July 20, 1914, five days after his arrival. Strangely enough, in getting his organization under way, he applied to several white people for aid and assistance, which strikes one as being just what a Negro in Dixie, of the type later called by him an Uncle Tom, would do. He got the assistance, such as it was and the organization got under way. But the Negroes of his native Jamaica were not interested. They listened to Garvey, smiled and went their way. Never more than a handful enrolled. Verily, a prophet is without honor in his own country. Garvey has attributed his early failure in Jamaica to the machinations of enemies, mainly mulattoes, but the truth is, very likely, that the black Jamaicans did not find his doctrines attractive. Rather discouraged, Garvey turned his eyes to the United States. There, he knew, were ten million Negroes who had accumulated much wealth education and culture. There the Negroes, he had heard, were more color conscious and would probably listen more attentively to what he had to say and give generously to his cause. So he wrote to Booker T. Washington, then head of the famous Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, who, Garvey claims, answered his letter and invited him to come to the United States. Any alliance between Garvey and Booker T. Washington seems strange and almost laughable because they were poles apart in their views on the Negro. Washington was for the Negro letting down his bucket where he was and developing the country in which he found himself. He also stood for greater understanding and sympathy between the races. He was only mildly interested in Africa and certainly hadn't the slightest idea of advocating the establishment of a homeland for Negroes there or even suggesting that Negroes emigrate to the Dark Continent from the United States and the West Indies. Indeed, and unknown to Garvey, apparently, the whole question of whether the Negro was to stay in America or emigrate to Africa had been argued thoroughly in the United States fifty years before he was born by both whites and Negroes. It was fully twenty months before Garvey was finally able to pull up stakes and come to the United States, but on March 23, 1916, he arrived in New York City and began a new chapter in his career.

The table which was laden with French sandwiches, cocoanut salad, cold tongue, spiced pears, homemade cake, ice cream, cocktails, punches, nuts and mints, was decorated by a miniature sea with fluffy blue silk waves on which rode a toy steamer, submarine, whale and gull. Even the ice cream was molded into ships and the mints were sea green. It was an honest-to-goodness sea-going party, very wet, informal and delightful. Miss Nichols, who is a teacher in the Junior High School Department of Wendell Phillips High School, and Miss Boyd, who is the founder and president of her own successful private school, were joined by Elizabeth Neely and Valeria Martin, two more Chicago school ma'ams on Wednesday morning. The four will do Norway, Denmark and Sweden, then travel through Germany, Spain, Italy, France and England. They will return in September to resume their school duties. Among the guests who enjoyed the evening were Lulu Robinson Jones, Leilia Jackson, Lillian Sharp Hunter, Bernia Austin, Maude White, Marjorie Jackson, Violet Sinclair, Mabel Minor, Gertrude Knight, Lillian Carlisle, Sadie James, Arabella Jackson, Sadie Saunders and Bessie Bearden. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Samuel H.

Greene, Jr. Drifting in Paris BY EDWARD C. PERRY FOR some weeks I have been planning to write a letter about my last days in London with the Porgy cast. But there was so much to do during those last moments. London is a dear old city, and there were, of course, many things to see. London saw Porgy and acclaimed it a great show, and some of the Porgyites have seen London's most interest- Perennial Harlem social favorite chum, MARJORIE SMITH, whi Jr. ing spots. If they were like me, they regretted leaving there. The Theatre Guild did not send the show to the continent, because the producers did not have enough money to pay for such a costly production. Now that the cast has returned to our grand old Harlem, I am certain it is not news that the Guild will probably open the show on Broadway again next season for a run of from two to six weeks. But it is certain to take to the road again, for the coast. Since the show will not open again until the first of next season, some of us decided to remain over here until then. We are working or roaming; drinking tea and sipping other liquids a trifle stronger. Frank Wilson and his wife and Richard Huey remained in London to play in a production of "All God's Chillun," which opened with success. Leona Carter, Jack Carter's wife, is in Nice spending the summer with her mother-in-law, Mrs. M. Carter George. I am remaining here, trying to do a number of things, which I will tell you about later. I am quite anxious to tell you about the wonderful things our group is doing here. But I must mention some of the events during those last days in London because of their importance. Rose McClendon had a few of her friends over to her apartment on May 23rd after the show. It was a pig feet, weiner and sauerkraut supper. What food! And there was plenty of good things to drink with it. I am only sorry that I can't tell you more about the jolly gang she had. . On Derby Day about twenty of us hired a bus and drove out to Epson Downs to see the races. The sight at this race course was one of the most spectacular and picturesque I have ever witnessed. Not one of us had our rabbit's foot along, for we all lost a number of shillings. I live in hopes of another day to attend the English Derby. . . One of s,—MARJORIE HALL and her o is now Mrs. William J. Greene, the boys in the Porgy cast came this great distance to find a wife. Of course, upon seeing her, one can see the reason. Charlie Taylor, Jr., of Corona, L. I., married on May 27th. Mrs. Taylor, Jr., is a charming colored English girl. The ceremony was quietly performed at the office of the Loudon County Clerk. A few friends of the couple gathered at the groom's apartment in the evening to celebrate the occasion. Caska Bond came to town a week before we left. His friends immediately began turning things on for him. And I was greatly surprised one day to discover Eric Walrond in London. He had just arrived from South America. This ended our glorious visit to London. By now you have probably seen some of the members of the cast trying to make up for their long absence away from Harlem. The men returned with many suits of clothes; the women with coat suits and many gifts for their friends. But STUDIO APARTMENT 1 ROOM & KITCHENETTE FURNISHED 252 West 135th Street ```markdown ``` happiest of all are the Eddie Browns, Pete Clark, and Percy Verwayne, who have lovely dogs. The Browns and Percy Verwayne have twin black Chows, while Pete Clark has a beautiful Samoyede, which he has named Princess Iona.. Leave it to Pete to do things in the grand manner. Now, about Paris. Some of the Porgvites came over for a last week-end abroad. Edna Thomas came along with me. Having friends here who know the city's most secret corners, we commenced to see Paris "with the lid lifted." They took us at a rapid pace during her three days stay. But I am certain they were enjoyable ones to her. We all regretted her departure. On the first evening we went to the Bal Colonial on Rue Blomeet. This is a Martiniquian dance hall. Here they do the most unusual dance anyone will ever see. It is known as the "beguine." The only one way I can describe it is by saying that it is a combination of the shimmy and messin' around, with the female partner dancing with the greatest movement. However, I must say it is done with more grace than either of the above-mentioned dances. Like Harlem with its dance halls and cabarets, the Negroes here can't have their own dance floor for the palefaces. Some of them are French friends or lovers of the Martiniquians who join in the fun, while the others are spectators, mostly Americans. Here one will see French women dancing the darkest men they can locate. The men do the opposite. Last Saturday evening we took Caska Bond there. We also discovered among many others Carl Van Vechten, Fania Marinoff, Nora Holt Ray, Jimmy Leopold and Zaidee Jackson, who dashed in for a few moments on her way to charm the patrons of a Montmartre club. Tuesday afternoon, June 11th, we went up to Florence Richardson's apartment. She is stil as charming as ever. This was a special occasion, the birthday of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cork. It was a lovely party. We hardly knew w ewere in gay Paree with the gang there. Among them were Edna Thomas. Dr. Gertrude Curtis, Countee Cullen, Zaidee Jackson, Adelaide Hall, Bert Hicks, Cooper of Chez Florence and Sammy Richardson. Mrs. Cork is a petite English lady. When asked if she wanted to visit New York, she replied. "Only to see the skyscrapers and Roxy's theatre." Blackbirds opened here with great success. It is still going very big. I saw the show for my sixth time. It thrilled me as much as ever. Montmarte was dark before the arrival of the Blackbirds. But now, oh my! What a gay time they are having, too. Dr. Gertrude Curtis knows her Paris backwards, this being her fifth time here. Lovely Adelaide Hall is knocking 'em over with her voice, chaming manner and chic clothes. Cora Gary Ellidge finds Paris a grand place to be in, while Ruth Johnson keeps them on a waiting line. One can see strolling through Pigalle most any night after the show Eddie Rector, being very swank; Peg Leg Bates, jolly as ever; George McClean, waiting for someone; and handsome Louis Coles, looking handsomer. Then go over to the Costa Bar, where they "fall in" to drink, eat food and peanuts and play cards. It's a great life if you don't weaken under the strain. But who's worried about that.

IN the last thesis, I dealt with the description History; Habitat; and Preparation of Cacao (Cocoa). In this, I will give a similar explanation of a plant, of great interest to pharmacy, for the valuable preparations it yields. Citrus Aurantium (Orange): This is a blunt spiny tree, growing from 15 to 36 feet in height, with leaves in varying green color; and having an acuminate apex (tapering gradually to a long point), bearing white fragrant flowers; Fruit $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ to 3 1-2 inches in diameter, with hallow core, acrid pulp, and tight skin. There are two kinds of Orange, Viz: 1) Citrus Aurantium var Sinensis Linne, (Sweet Orange). 2) Citrus Aurantium Amara Linne. (Bitter Orange). The rind (peel) of both are official in the U. S. P. and are listed under the following official titles, viz: Aurantii Dulcis Cortex. (Sweet Orange Peel). Aurantii Amari Cortex. (Bitter Orange Peel) Citrus Aurantium is a native of India and Ceylon, and is also largely cultivated in tropical countries, such as the West Indies, South and Central America, and Florida. C. Aurantium Var Sinensis, Linne' consists of a solid core and sweet pulp, which characterize the fruit, (sweet orange). Its chief constituents are: A volatile oil, and Hesperidin. The outer orange yellow layer, recently separated by grating or paring, and consisting of varying (1) cells (epidermal). (2) Oil reservoirs, (globules of oil (volatile). (3) With fragrant odor (smell). (4) An aromatic pungent taste. The dried rind (peel) of both are said to be used as a carminative and stomachic, and are prescribed medicinally in the form of (a) Tinctures. (b) mixture of dried orange peel, fresh Infusions, (c) Wines, (d) Syrups. A lemon peel and ginger root, is said to be very useful for stomach ache or cramps, in the form of an infusion; also for a chill. The flowers are also largely used in the preparation by distillation, a volatile oil known as oleum Aurantii Florum (Oil of Orange flower) Syn; Oil of Neroli. In the form of syrup. It is used as a flavoring agent, and a refrigerant. A commercial organ flower water is also prepared by the process of distillation, from the flowers of the bitter orange. One or two Oranges every morning improve the appetite, aid digestion, and promote the general condition of the stomach and intestines.

Since when, Big Boy, did you become an actor? * * * Herbert Weisiger of McDonough Street is spending the summer in Brooklyn with his parents. "Herbie" has been teaching in the south at Atlanta University since his graduation from Syracuse "U". \* \* \* Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Trott, 139 Decatur St., had as their guests for a short time the distinguished Attorney Joseph McLemore of St. Louis, Missouri and his wife, the former Frances Williams. This young lawyer (he's but 32) who was Congressman Dyer's opponent last November, has had a brilliant career. He was raised in Louisiana, and circumstances over which he had no control, prevented him from attending school until at the age of 13. After entering, he made rapid strides, graduating from Howard University and later taking post graduate work at N. Y. University. Mrs. McLemore, whose father is principal of Summer High School in St. Louis, was at one time field secretary of our own Ashland Place Y. W. C. A. The McLemore's motored back to their home in Missouri last week. THE INTER-STATE TATTLER SYPHILIS is the cause of many mental diseases and psychoses. Simple syphilite weakness of the mind is accompanied by paralysis of one limb or side of the body, which may be transitory or permanent. 1. Syphilitic pseudo (su-do) (resembling) paralysis is characterized by the presence of hallucinations of hearing. Paranoid (perversion of the will with mental peculiarities) forms of syphilis with tabes remain stationary for long periods of time. There is very little dementia or delusions of being persecuted, but there are numerous hallucinations of hearing and disturbances of common sensation. Paranoid forms without tabes are characterized by hallucinations of hearing and delusions of jealousy. The epileptic forms of syphilis are due to changes within the arteries of the brain. Short hallucinatory confused states are accompanied by confusion of the mind. Psychotic disturbances associated with syphilitic heart disease is a result of syphilis of the aura (large blood vessel taking blood from the heart.) Psychoses resembling manic depressive psychosis is characterized by periods of depression and periods of excitement. Syphilis also causes mental disorders due to psychic injuries and various grades of weak-mindedness. These conditions occur after syphilitic infection in comparatively young persons, are often associated with severe headaches, which are usually worse at nights and may get better under antisyphilitic treatment. Many of these cases are extremely difficult to differentiate from paresis and a most careful neurological is of the first importance. Professional Announcement Tel.

Gone but never forgotten. Every day in every way Harlem is getting better and better. In every branch of business bigger things are being striven for. Among those who have broadened their scope of endeavor is Prof. Darling Mack, the instructor in professional, ball room and modern dances. To keep pace with the demands for his services, Prof. Mack has taken over a private residence at premises 104 West 136th Street, which he has turned into a private dance studio. For those who have had the longing to trip the light fantastic—whether on the stage or ballroom—this is an opportunity to be grasped, for Prof. Mack's terms are more than reasonable and his instructions never fail to bring the desired results. --- Misses Adelaide and Vivian Charles, the lovely and popular daughters of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Charles, of 211 W. 149th St., left Saturday for Fern Rock Camp for an indefinite stay. The The The Theatre BENNIE BUTLER. Theatrical Editor At the Lafayette A jam-up, corking good entertainment is on tap at the Lafayette Theatre this week and the producer of Hawaiian Nites, Addison Carey, is due a vote of appreciation by Harlem's theatre public. From the beginning to the very end, the vehicle moves with smoothness, is brimful with popular selections cleverly put across, spirited dancing and comedy, while old, provided many a laugh. This pleasing innovation of Mr. Carey's registered well with the first nighters and at every opportunity and they were many, applauded loud and long. Truly the patrons of this house were well pleased with the entertainment given them last Monday. Wilbur Sweatman and his company are the featured act in the revue. This popular entertainer—he is one of the greatest of clarinet players—has not been seen in Harlem for some for years. He and his little company received a royal welcome when they were introduced by Bob Williams. Sweatman is certainly an exceptional musician. He plays both the clarinet and the saxophone in a manner that fairly rouses one to enthusiastic appreciation of his work. Then (and we have never seen this before) he plays three calrinets at once—drawing from them the most exquisite music. The cast of Hawaiian Nights is one of the best ever assembled in one revue. It includes Bob Williams, Willie Jackson, Harry Hamilton and Kitty Aublancke, Gallie De Gasten, Gary and Evans. the twelve Careyettes, "Jackie" Young, Marte Williamson and Wilbur Sweatman's company of singers, musicians and dancers. Phil Spitalney and His Pennsylvania Hotel Orchestra and Entertainers are seen on the Movietone. This little aggregation is one of the best-known White bands in the City. The feature photoplay for the week is "China Bound" a stirring and romantic story of love, intrigue and adventure. At the Alhambra Sandy Burns, who is really the producer at this house but fails to get the credit due for his work, has his little aggregation of players "Honey Beeing" this week.

EVES at 8.30 Page Right Wrightson, Queenie Price, Teddy and Blinky, Florence, and Viola Wilson and that spirited Alhambra chorus aggregation, help Sandy entertain. The dramatic sketch, The Sultan's Harem will be found a flimsy production. Several new faces will be found among the dramatic players, notably Edna Barr. Miss Barr did not appear to any great advantage in the flippant role of a newspaper reporter, looking for news. She's at her best in emotional roles. Artie Cain, who is on the program as this newspaper representative or a novelist, does not play the part. But it is our candid opinion that she would have done somewhat better than Miss Barr. Flippant, saucy characters suit the Artie to a T. But, on second thought, this sketch does not call for much acting, and we must retract. Miss Barr did creditably well, all things considered. One thing which caused us no little disgust was Al Watt's not removing his street clothes in the character of an old Arab. His American collar, tie and shirt were plainly visible and this forcefully kept reminding us that it was all tom-foolery. When will Negro actors ever be thorough? If the character is worth playing at all it certainly should be played to the best of the actor's ability. That much the audience is entitled to, yes, even The Tattler's representative. Bessie Wrightson is the other new addition to the dramatic players. She possesses a lot of natural ability and a well-modulated voice. At The Roosevelt In response to an insistent popular demand, Harlem's "Home of Perfect Talking Pictures" brings back to our community the 100% all-talking, all-action, dramatic thriller, "Speakeasy." This will occupy the feature position on the Roosevelt's talking screen for three days only, starting Saturday, July 13th. "Speakeasy" is one of the most convincing dialogue pictures yet to reach the screen. It is a story of New York, filmed in New York, acted by a cast of thoroughly competent stage players, and is very realistic. Imagine the thrill of watching and hearing a crowd of some twenty thousand enthusiastic boxing fans "hitting on all six" in the famous Madison Square Garden, or watching and hearing New York subway trains thunder and boom in and out of stations, or watch and listen to the great crowd of people in Grand Central Terminal; roaring traffic, singing and laughing Broadway, racing at Belmont Park and the inside of a famous New York speakeasy—all those and more are in "Speakeasy." The story is high-speed all through. It concerns a college- 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

The players, all newcomers recruited from the legitimate stage, give brilliant performances. Paul Page is the fight champion, Lola Lane is the newspaper reporter and our old friend Henry B. Walthall gives a fine performance as a broken-down, old pianist in the speakeasy. Sharon Lynn plays a small part as a beautiful "joint" entertainer and surprises everyone with her remarkable singing and talking voice. On the same program, in addition to "Speakeasy" the Roosevelt will present a thrilling new chapter of "The Fatal Warning" starring Ralp Graves and Helene Costello, "We Faw Down," a new comedy synchronized with sound and effects, a Castle technicolor screen novelty entitled "Rainbow" and the first of the new synchronized, animated Disney cartoons "The Kayo Kid." Picture fans cannot afford to miss this week's program at the Roosevelt. At the Odeon A neatly-wrought melodramatic plot, an exceptionally capable and well-chosen cast, and the thrills which made the old-time play famous combine to make "The Whip" which will occupy the Odeon's screen Thursday and Friday, July 11th and 12th as half of a great double feature program, one of the most entertaining pictures of the season. The story revolves about a horse-race with a great deal resting on the proper horse's winning the big derby, with plots and counterplots, divers bits of conniving and last-minute suspense. The cast is headed by Dorothy Mackaill and includes Ralph Forbes, Anna Q. Nilsson and Lowell Sherman. The other half of the Odeon's double feature bill is Douglas Fairbanks in "His Majesty, The American." This is an old favorite and was largely responsible for the tremendous popularity of Douglas Fairbanks with photoplay fans. Cecil B. De Mille's latest production, "The Godless Girl" parallels in spectacular appeal his other screen successes including "The King of Kings" and "The Ten Commandments." The fire scenes in this story are said to be among the most effective portrayed. A five-story building, representing part of a reform school is burned to provide a climatic background for the highest point in "The Godless Girl." The plot of "The Godless Girl" which will be shown at the Odeon for three days only starting Saturday, July 13th, brings together the leading characters. THE INTER-STATE TATTLER portrayed by Lina Basquette, George Duryea, Marie Prevost, and Noah Beery. At the Douglas Al Jolson, world's greatest entertainer, comes back to Harlem this week; this Thursday and Friday the New Douglas Theatre is presenting his sensational talking and singing hit, "The Singing Fool." In this special Vitaphone production, Jolson is revealed as one of the most powerful emotional actors on the screen. His creation is in decided contrast to his work as a comedian through his former work, "The Jazz Singer," partially demonstrated the fervor of which he is capable. As a singing waiter in a New York night club, and later as master of ceremonies in the gayest of the city's cabarets, Jolson is seen as a man almost beaten down by the heavy hand of tragedy, following a beginning that seemed to promise him every human joy. Heading the star's supporting company are two leading ladies in the persons of Betty Bronson and Josephine Dunn, and a host of other players including Reed Howes, Arthur Housman, Davy Lee and Edward Martindel. If you want to be sure of one of the most enjoyable experiences the marvelous talking screen is capable of providing, be sure not to miss this special limited engagement at the new Douglas. . --- The haunting beauty of the tropics, the grim drama of the islander against the complications of the white man's civilization and a love story, delicate as a jungle orchid—these are the ingredients that go into "The Pagan," Ramon Novarro's new vehicle, a sound synachronized film in which Novarro sings the beautiful "Pagan Love Song," and which comes to the New Douglas Beginning Saturday, July 13 for a three day engagement. Filmed in the South Seas amid the gorgeous sunsets, blue waters and exotic greenery, the play is a vivid filmization of John Russell's famous novel and was made by W. S. van Dyke, famous director of "White Shadows in the South Seas." Like the earlier picture, it was actually filmed in the jungles and on the islands of Polynesia.

Miss Beatrix Lehmann is the central figure, the tragic white girl, ill-treated by her own race, who marries the young Negro and nearly goes mad from nerves and hysteria. Miss Lehmann has her off moments. She tends to overdo the matter of facial expression, which, coupled with the otherwise carefully subdued and low-toned method of the Gate Theatre company, leads to some disconcerting results, but she makes something of "The Home of PERFECT TALKING PICTURES" ROOSEVELT THEATRE SEVENTH AVE.

She gives its sensitivity and subtlety. I suppose the play is less than a great one. Its theme—the tragedy of a racial inter-marriage in a fiercely Negro-hating community—is too specialized to have anything like a universal appeal. But within its limits it is extraordinarily done. The tragedy is put upon a spiritual plane, and kept there. Though a very short play, is a complete one. Those who are not afraid of the unusual and who go to the Court, will almost certainly get from Mr. Wilson and Miss Lehmann's last scene an impression of strange beauty. * * * MAMIE SMITH opens at the Orpheum Theatre of Newark for a week next Monday, July 15th.

The cast includes among others, George Crawford, comedian, Brown and Tribble and Davenport and Smith. Also a nifty chorus aggregation. On the same programme we find Sam Russell, George Wiltshire, Trixie Smith and the Exposition Four. "Bomboola" BY I. SHARP BOMBOOLA is without doubt one of the best all-around entertainment of way. It's a whirlwind of fast dancing, good, clean comedy, and boasts a good story. From the very beginning it is different. The curtain rises revealing a plantation scene with Cecil Mack's singers doing their stuff, and how! The story is made real and interesting by the presence of Mercedes Gilbert as the mother. And Miss Gilbert plays that mother part with that same sincerity and thoroughness that has always made her work enjoyed, both on stage and screen. The enthusiasm displayed by Miss Gilbert as the doting mother who wants her "chile" to succeed as an actress is caught by the audience, and you find yourself hoping to see Anna, the little stage struck girl from the small town. a real star, and that's what she becomes, as the story goes on. As for dancing I have seldom seen such dancing anywhere, which proves that Mr. Sam Rose, who instructed the chorus and staged the show is an exceptional instructor. There is a tap dancer, a young boy called Derby who taps with the best of them. Dusty Fletcher and John Mason furnish the laughs, and a plenty of them, assisted by Burnett. A Russian dancer comes in for lots of credit, and to say the least is very good. Miss Washington is an adorable star, one who wins her audience on her first entrance and holds her place in their hearts until the curtain falls as it does on her wedding, which is the end of the story. She really marries, to the tune of jazz, her home town sweetheart, played splendidly by George Randoll. Miss Hilda Perlino is another member of this wonderful cast, and does some sweet singing. Billie Cortez should also carry off honors, as she furnishes some of the good singing and does a very clever bit called Suicide. Miss Revella Hughes also adds her sweet voice to the song end of the show. The High Hatters Positively no items of malicious intent will be accepted for publication on the High Hatters' page.

Being a woman, she wanted to eat. I can only tell her through this medium, that she shouldn't eat so much. First, because she has inclinations toward excess avoirdupois, and secondly, though of more importance to me, she sinks a hole in my bankroll like nobody's business. Well, to be congenial I asked her where she would like to dine. And with all smiles she answered, "Lotus Tea Garden." The way that woman gets stuck on places is too bad! Well, I had the correct salad, made special to my order — but Lord, how empty I was watching her put away a steak, French fried potatoes, iced coffee, salad and pie. And still I continue to take her out. Sap? Two of 'em. *** But, I'll let you in on a secret. Of course, "Her" is going to raise all sorts of cain, but I decided I wanted company for myself. You know, she ain't so hot, any more. Especially after squawking about going places and doing things. So I grabbed me a petite broad, and slid into the Senior Club's Matinee at Smalls' on Sunday, although my collar was wilted to a fair-you-well. But the new broad cared not. (The "Her" would have squawked no end). And did I have a hot time! My boy Willis, (the "Her" calls him the "Ace"), was as cordial as could be, and can you believe it, when I tell you, the new broad fell, too! Oh boy, to be TALL, DARK AND HANDSOME! But, being a little peeved, I told Miss New Lady that she hadn't a chance in a car-load. I danced and forgot the heat.

He was that rare type of natural fighter, not the product of some stuffy gymnasium and as a consequence enjoyed phenomenal success from the outset. It wasn't until September 27th, 1899 however, that Bobby gained the renown that was to precede him during his travels as a boxer throughout the civilized world. At that time the two greatest colored lightweights in this country were Joe Gans of the classic arabic features, and the hero of this article. The real "human interest" side of the rough and ready art of scrambled ears, crops up at this point of our diatribe. Gans and Dobbs in addition to having a wholesome respect for each other, were bosom pals and had sworn never to face each other in mortal combat inside the ring. The story of how Al Herford, manager of Gans, sent out an insulting story to the press that aroused Dobb's ire, makes interesting reading for the present day generation of fans who seem to know so little about these fistic supermen of more than a quarter century ago. Mighty few of the leading white scrappers cared to mingle with Dobbs or Gans. Despairing of getting any work for his impatient battler, Herford made public a formal challenge to Dobbs purporting to come from Gans, in which he declared a willingness to settle the moot query of that time as to who was rightfully entitled to the mantle of "World's Colored Lightweight Champion." When Dobbs read of Gans' defi, he could scarcely believe it for they had sworn never to face each other across the twenty-four foot strip of canvas. He first thought to look Joe up and ask of him if the report he read in the papers was true, or just the product of some nimble minded press agent anxious to put across a hot story. His temper, however, got the best of his better judgment, and through his manager he notified Herford that the match was all to the mustard with him. With characteristic earnestness Dobbs plunged into training for what he has always called the most crucial match of his brilliant career. Bobby realized that this meant the elimination of either Joe or himself from the lightweight picture, and he was determined that it was not going to be him. Meeting Herford one day on the street during his training for the match, Dobbs accosted him with this remark: "Well you think you've made a smart match for your champ don't you?" Herford responded with a knowing chuckle. "Tell Joe that I'll not only lick him, but will fight on a winner-take-all basis" were the parting remarks of the cocky Tennessean. * * * Licked Mighty Joe Gans HERFORD and Gans never forgot the meeting with his old clam Bobby Dobbs during their Matime. Trained as never before so since for any of his glove knives, the marviously clever knife whipped Gans decisively, mastering what experts termed ALVIN J. MOSES the fastest left hand they had ever witnessed. Billy McClain, famous colored Thespian of the day, acted in the capacity of second to Dobbs in this memorable fight. A month after defeating Gans, Dobbs sailed for England to fulfill an engagement with Dick Burge, recognized welterweight champion of the British Isles. Burge had previously fought that great American Kid Lavigne, suffering defeat at the hands of the "Saginaw Kid" after fourteen bruising rounds. The inside story of that fight is. Burge trained down from a natural poundage of 144, to practically 135 pounds ringside—making the same mistake practically that Joe Walcott did in his never-to-be forgotten bloody joust with the doughy Michigan. When we think of how modern fighters quibble over three-quarters of a pound difference in weight, Bobby Dobbs was truly a wonder. He allowed the Englishman Burge to weigh in at 2 P. M. the afternoon of the fight at 144 pounds, while he tipped the beam his usual standard of 125. Because of the great interest this fight created throughout the British Kingdom and her possessions, thousands of pounds sterling were wagered on Burge's chances of victory. From the outset Dobbs fought like an unleashed tiger, his cyclonic rushes sweeping the English Welter champion before him like chaff before a brisk autumn wind. * * * Burge Wages Running Battle ENGLISHMEN of the nobility implored Berge to stand up and fight like a man, but he was absolutely helpless before the relentless attack of Joe Gans' conqueror. Beaten from pillar to post, Burge sank to the canvas hopelessly beaten at the end of eight rounds that Englishmen still living who were spectators, never tire of recanting. Bobby's next opponent on English soil was a sturdy Welshman named Jerry Driscoll whom critics abroad rated a more formidable warrior than Dick Burge. Dobbs, who knew the writer of this article long before we reached man's estate, confided to us some years ago that this same Jerry Driscoll gave him the hardest fight of his lengthy career. Driscoll entered the ring with a tremendous weight handicap over the great Dobbs, weighing 158 pounds to his usual 135—Wotta man this Bobbie. With the exception of Jack Dempsey the 'Nonpareil,' and Jack Blackburn, Dobbs gave away more weight advantage than any fighter that ever lived. The men were carded to go fifteen rounds. When the bell rang both fighters went to close quarters at once. Toe to toe the men stood resting their heads on each others shoulders and flailing away for dear life,—while pandemonium broke loose all over the packed casino. One can well imagine what a titantic struggle the Dobbs-Driscoll battle was, as in his prior fight with Burge. Dobbs threw science to the winds and bored in Terry McGovern fashion, while Driscoll only retreated when human flesh and blood could stand no more. In the fourteenth round, Dobbs caught the busky Welshman com THE MUSIC Members of crack Lincoln Punchback team who are "Harlem's" hope in the Evening Graphic Tournament that starts next Monday.

Then after a brief resting period Bobby engaged in a fight with Pat McDonald, Scotch welter champ for a sidebet of five hundred pounds approximately $2,500 in American currency. Bobby knocked out the lad from the land of the Thistle and the Heather in less than forty seconds of the opening canto. For two years thereafter he resided in England becoming a national hero, engaging in a number of contests all of which he won with ridiculous ease. *** Returns to the States AFTER a tour of Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, Dobin returned to the United States in 1901 and was greeted at the steamer line Members of crack Lincoln Punishment in the Evening Graphic Monday.

From 1994-97, Dobbs engaged the foremost boxers in the lightweight, welterweight and Middleweight divisions. George McKenna, Lightweight champion of Australia; Charlie Johnson—champion of the middle west; "Black Pearl," colored middleweight champion of the world who was considered good enough to face Bob Fitzsimmons; Billy Mahon, welterweight champion of the Pacific Coast; Billy Lavigne, brother of the illustrious Kid Lavigne who could fight like a streak in his own right; Billy Vernon,—the "Haverstraw Bricklayer;" Billy Ernst, the hard hitting Dutchman; Katie Ferns,—who later became World's Welterweight champion; and Matty Matthews,—one of the greatest ringmen that ever dug toe in roomed canvas, or calloused knuckles in tight fitting leather gloves. Dobs, fairly and squarely kicked the sensational Matty Matthews, only to be robbed via the decision route as was Tom Sharkey in his joust with Jim Jeteries at Coney Island. * * * Twice Fought Joe Walcott DOBBS, on two occasions stacked up against the ring's most dreaded warrior — the immortal Joe Walcott. First in a no decision six rounder in Philadelphia, and in a return six round attray at the old Broadway Athletic Club that Walcott won without loss of prestige to either man. After this fight with Walcott, Bobby smirk ed for Europe on an "All Comers" tour. For years he fought successfully in nearly every tank town of Continental Europe each year finding his name in the press of the world victor in some one-sided contest. At the ripe old age of 57, Dobbs fought his last battle at Budapest, Hungary, in 1914. Jack Mickens, recognized welterweight champion of England was the kid opposed to this grand old man of fistiana. After seventeen bitterly contested rounds, Dobbs succeeded in knocking out his far younger opponent and gaining a title at an age when most athletes are either pass, or ready for the cleaners. For years he was trainer to both Stanislaws and Wladek Zbysko, famous polish wrestling stars, and today is capable of outwalking and out running most men forty years his junior.

Claude Bracey of Rice Institute was second; Russell Sweet, Olympic Club, San Francisco, third, and Frank Dykoff of the Los Angeles A. C. fourth. The runners had to buck a gale down the course. The time, while slow, was considered good in the face of conditions. Rough weather conditions prevailed from the very start as runners went to their marks for the first heat of the 100-yard dash. The sun had gone under a cloud and a stiff southwest breeze moving down the runway retarded the fast field heat on establishing a world's record for the century dash. Tolan captured the first heat of the century in which Claude Bracey of Rice Institute and Russell Sweet of the Olympic Club, San Francisco, qualified. Tolan, running against the stiff wind, took it easy and finished in 10 1-10 seconds. Frank Wyckoff, the defending A. A. H. champion, won the second heat in 10 2-10 seconds.

CENTRAL AV Oklahoma City, Ohio Laura Watson Takes Lead Away From Atlantic City Girl in Tattler's Contest Margaret Roberts Drops To Fourth Place As The New York Girls Begin Their Drives. Mildred Pinder With 82,000 Is Second and Diana Barrett of New York Takes Third Place With 80,000. This Contest Will Be Close As The Field Is Well Balanced With No Outstanding Favorite WHEN Miss Laura B. Watson got her Tattler late Thursday night or Friday morning, she expected that she would find herself leading the field in the Inter-State Tattler's big "Convention Queen Contest." But it must have been a terrible shock to the young lady when she read where Miss Margaret Roberts, a pert, determined little lady from Atlantic City, had moved into a tie with the Miss Watson for the honors. That evidently made the Laura mad for she buckled right down to business and last Saturday night she sent in 39,000 votes and jumped her total to 115,000. Now she's sitting on top of the world for at least another week any way. But Miss Watson was not the only one who was spurred to greater effort, for a quiet, aggressive, little girl from across the bridge, Brooklyn, if you please, moved into second place by polling 82,000 votes. Then, to cap the climax, Diana Barrett tried desperately to regain the lead which she lost last week, by adding 11,000 more votes to her count for a total of 80,000. With six weeks yet to go, the winner is still in doubt. While Miss Watson is now leading the contest, there are any number of girls who may come to the front before the week is out and take the lead away from her. Miss Constance Perdue is beginning to make her presence felt and so is Miss Marie Jackson of Jersey City, N. J., who poled 24,000 votes last week to take eighth place. Little Margaret Robinson of New York, supported by the Sphinx Social Club added 14,000 votes to her 12,000 for a total of 26,000. Ruth Holloway, too, is FILL UP lay in FUEL FOR WINTER another dangerous contender and she's almost certain to be well up with the leaders before long. And when Ruth catches up, there's sure going to be a lot of excitement for the Ruth is not the sort of a girl who'll be easily defeated. But the New York girls can expect plenty of competition and trouble from Atlantic City's great little favorite, Miss Roberts. This little lassie has a field all to her self and if she ever lines up two or three of the Atlantic City social clubs or fraternal organizations, she's going to be a hard one to beat out in the final drive the last two weeks in August. Miss Roberts, from what we can learn, is quite a favorite in the famous summer resort, known as The World's Playground. Something tells us that she is going to be the one the other girls will have to beat, if they hope to cash in on that first prize of $200.00 and the title of Tattler's Convention Queen. With six weeks still to go, there's sure to be a lot of excitement before the winners are known. Already the contest is beginning to tighten up and from now on, it's going to be a thrilling race. 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 V BILLIE PEEPLES, who has the proper "Contest" complex which consists of yen to take first place through dint of hard work, selling her pleasant personality to subscribers, and belief in the organization she is working so zealously for. 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 six 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 Elk's Conclave the last week in August. Historical Facts of Negroes Entertained by U. S. Presidents Washington, D.

Stops Theatre Discrimination THE Bayonne Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has won one of the most effective and far-reaching fights against racial discrimination ever waged in the history of the colorod community, according to Dr. George L. Johnson, President of the Bayonne Branch. Three months ago the largest and most modern theatre in the city instituted a policy of directing colored patrons to the balcony. After many respected citizens were humiliated and embarrassed, the Bayonne Branch took up the fight. Reprints of the New Jersey Civil Rights Law were made and distributed through the cooperation of the local churches. The people were told to "Know the law—know their rights—and then stand up for them!" In his reply the manager attempted to deny that he had instituted a policy based upon racial discrimination, but claimed that it was based upon "proper attire." He admitted that some of his employees had become too officious and that they had been discharged, and assured the Bayonne Branch that he would exert his influence to keep any policy of racial discrimination out of the theatre in the future.
