Unfortunately, Mr. Garvey lacks the capacity for’ real constructive work and sound statesmanship especially at critical moments. All men make mistakes, of course, but it is almost suici- dal for a leader to make gross and lamentable mistakes. This, Mr. Garvey ‘has done time after time. He under- stands more or less clearly the status of the Negro but he has a tendency to ignore many of the hard facts sur- rounding Negro life in its various manifestations. His leaving New York on February 28rd, 1921, for a tour of the West Indies, for instance, was a master stroke of propaganda. It aroused the black men and women, of that section as nothing had since the supermen of Haiti emancipated her from the oppression of imperial France. The point of view of the West Indian natives, even more than that of the American Negroes had been provincial; Garvey made it international. In the bargain he stirred their imagination and gained many converts to the move- ment both in the West Indies and the United States. The spectacle of an intrepid black man sailing the seas in his own vessel bent on stirring and awakening the Negroes of a dozen different localities captured the imagination of all Negroes, even Garvey’s enemies. There seemed to be nothing to stop the movement now. It was operating some tailor shops and grocery stores; it owned three ships: the Yarmouth, the S. S. Shadyside ana the S. S. Antonio Maceo; it talked of buying another ship to be known as the S. S. Phyllis Wheatley, after the great American Negro poetess; it was operating the Phyllis Wheatley Hotel, a restaurant in Liberty Hall, was staging great mass meetings in a score or more of cities; had announced the opening of the Booker T. Washington Uni- versity and there was some talk of starting a daily news- paper and a monthly magazine in addition to the weekly Negro World. What the movement needed at this time was a practical leader to guide its destinies and shape its policies, leaving Mr. Garvey free to continue to elevate the spirit of the Negro peoples everywhere and arouse their further en- thusiasm. Unfortunately there were few such men in the Garvey movement. Mr. Garvey’s assistants might then be classified into three groups: ignorant, untrustworthy and intelligent. The ignorant ones knew less of what it was all about than Garvey. They were just yes-men who failed to or were unable to see the great significance and tremendotis poten- tialities of the movement, and were satisfied to blindly and uncritically follow Garvey, tickled, childishly, with their titles and trinkets. There were many very untrustworthy officials who were interested only to the extent of filling their pockets with as much of the members’ money as they could get. They cared little or nothing for the movement except as a step- ping stone to wealth and power, such as was available. They sneered and chuckled behind Garvey’s back, drew their exhorbitant salaries and waited eager for oppor- tunifies to steal something or anything that wasn’t nailed down, but they flattered Garvey all of he time and swore allegiance to him. The intelligent officials, of which there were very few, were divided into two groups. Those who sincerely wanted to put over a wise and statesmanlike program closer to the realities of life than that of Mr. Garvey and those who were willing to carry out Garvey’s program but were aware of the fact that things were not going right and did not bite their tongues in saying so. Mr. Garvey, ever the supreme egoist, was more in- eensed at the group of intelligent men that differed with him than he was‘with the crafty crooks and incompetent ignoramuses that fauned around him. He was and is the sort of man who can brook no opposition. He believes the king can do no wrong—and he’s the king. The whole upshot of it was that he alienated and fired those who might have helped him steer straight the craft of state, and hugged closer the rogues and ignoramuses who shouted and genuflected whenever he put in appear- ance. Thus he was left without any- foil for his keen and far-reaching imagination and proceeded to embark upon projects that were exceedingly ill-advised, or, at best, ill-tiried. His activities from this time forward revealed an amazing lack of insight into the psychology and modes of the American Negro. Had Marcus Garvey been far-sighted enough to get an intelligent American Negro of first rank to act as his adjutant and second-in-command,.and conferred with him and followed his advice on matter3 of policy in this coun- Marcus Garvey: An Analysis By SAMUEL I. BROOKS try, I firmly believe he would have been in the United States to-day with a more powerful following than ever and at least a few worthwhile achievements to his credit. instead, he antagonized those who could have helped him. While the American Negro certainly has plenty of faults, it must be conceded that he knows both the white folks and the Negroes very well and possesses, an. almost un- canny faculty for sensing what procedures are wise and unwise, One of the initial mistakes of Garvey was the stirring up of the intra-racial color question. Those who have followed this series from the beginning wderstand very well why the question of color should loom so big in Garvey’s consciousness. Nevertheless, had he been well advised or had he followed the advice of an informed American Negro, he would never have mentioned the intra-racial color question at all. In the first place the intra-racial color question was dying pretty rapidly. It had never attained the import- ance in the United States that it had in Jamaica. True, there was from one angle of view much color prejudice within the group but not enough to warrant the wild statements and charges of Garvey. In the next place, Negroes having white ancestry in Marcus Garvey THE UNFORGETABLE— Winds Up His Tempestuouc Career in. NEXT WEEK’S ISSUE ; A Complete Sellout Already Order Your Copy in Advance —The Surprise Feature Has Been Kept Until Then this country constituted and still constitute almost SO per cent of the Aframerican population, whereas in Jamaica they constituted only about one-fourteenth of the Negro population. In the United States the mixed-bloods and full-bloods were together in society, religious sects and fraternal organizations, to say nothing of business con- cerns. Raising the question of color, then, was seen by thought- ful American Negroes as likely to cause a schism in the Negro group when it should be presenting a solid front to its white oppressors. Hence, they were unfriendly to Garvey and it did not require much of this sort of talk to make them his enemies and desire his downfall. The next big mistake of Mr. Garvey was his journey to Atlanta in 1921 where he interviewed BE. Y. Clarke, a high official of the Ku Klux Klan, on the Klan’s attitude toward the Negro. His visit to Klankrest was given wide publi- city and struck dumb the great bulk of thoughtful Ameri- can Negroes who shape the policies and opinions of Negro life in the United States; while for the first time wide masses of black people began to look askance at- their former idol. For decades, ever since reconstruction days, the Ku Klux Klan and all it stood for had been anathema to American Negroes. The Klan had murdered them, exploited them industrially and sexually and robbed them. of their politi- eal power. In their minds there could be no compromise with the Blonde Beast, and yet here was a great Negro leader sitting down with the leaders of this nefarious organization! It was useless to explain to them that Garvey had merely sought information. Why, they asked, should, any Negro need to ask questions about the aims and objects of the Ku Klux Klan? Had Marcus Garvey eS Ww VOCE SUS eg been properly advised he would never have made that visit. Another vital error was his unceasing attacks on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple. Here was an organization headed by one of the greatest intellects the race had produced, W. E. B. DuBois, and officiated by a sincere group of intelligent Negroes and whites who were really doing something concrete for the advancement of the Negro people. Its continuous string of cases in the courts in behalf of the Negro had won it the respect of the entire group. it was not a per- fect organization and is not now, but that it was and is doing valuable work for the betterment of race relations here and now is undeniable. Garvey attacked the Association as a hotbed of race prejudice, claimed that its leaders despised the common Negro and made other grave charges equally grotesque and ridiculous. Those charges were not and are not true and hundreds of thousands of intelligent Negroes realized it: Just because the N. A. A. C. P. and its afficials did not endorse his movement for carrying Negroes back to Africa and engaging in almost insane business ventures, he attacked it as a traitor to the race. If he had been well advised or had listened to the advice given, he would at least have ignored the N. A. A. C. P. entirely. He gained a few members by his attacks, probably, but he lost a number of powerful and influential friends, maybe un- known to him at the time but who would have been help- ful later on. His next error was to travel around the country, par- ticularly in the South, saying what the Negro’s enemies had been saying and trying to prove for years: i. e., that Negroes had done nothing here; had contributed nothing to American life; had built no railroads, highways, ships, and that generally their accomplishments during their life in these United States had been nil. The bulk of Negroes, especially the thoughtful and informed ones knew that the Negroes in this country, on the contrary, and especially in the South, had built all of the railroads, high- ways. ships and buildings; had toiled and sweated for 300 years building up directly the wealth of the South and indirectly the wealth of the North. Hence, they quite pro- perly felt outraged and betrayed. Had Marcus Garvey been weil advised or had he been willing to listen to the advice of those more familiar than himself with the American scene, he would never have made these statements. They did not increase the desire of American Negroes to go to Africa nor did they swell the ranks of the U. N. I. A. While they might have made the Southern whites and the officials of the Ku Klux Klan endorse Garvey, they aroused the enmity of the very Neg- roes whose friendship and support Garvey ought to have been seeking. As time went on the effect of this propa- ganda began to tell. The schism between Garveyism and the other Negroes grew wider. Feeling between West Indian and American Negroes became aggravated, par- ticularly in New York and other towns along the Atlantic seaboard. Garveyites grew more insolent and abusive of all who differed with them, especially of those officials Garvey had dismissed or who had quit the movement in disgust. The climax was not long in coming. Soon the opposi- tion became organized under the leadership of Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, well known radicals and editors of The Messenger magazine. In a series of great meetings in Harlem they led the attacks on Marcus Gar- vey and Garveyism with the slogan: Garvey Must Go! Not satisfied with this, Chandler Owen drew up a letter to the Attorney General of the United States charging Garvey with stirring up ill-feeling between blacks and blacks and whites and blacks and of more serious crimes and mis- deamors. This letter was signed by twelve leading Neg- roes. It created a sensation. The storm clouds were gathering. (Note: Next week Mr. Brooks will end this series with a final chapter on Garvey’s trial conviction, incarceration and deportation, and tell of the future of the Garvey movement.—Editor.)

The affair commenced at nine and ended at two. So many, many came. Those of you who have been to the Savoy know just what kind of music the orchestras furnish. "Orchestras" because they have two. There were so many pretty girls, and very swank looking young men. There were charming matrons, and dignified gentlemen. The orchestra generally played a dreamy waltz (I said orchestra because both do not play at the same time) and when a waltz is played, the lights are dimmed and we dance to revolving artificial light, which throws such a pretty color everywhere, and makes the whole thing look so beautiful.

Miss Anne Douglas, clever little writer, is pinch-hitting during "Gerry's" absence. \* \* \* As is the custom at all dances, we just danced and danced and dined and dined, for they have everything at the Savoy, even to a menu. They also have a bar—where you may order anything your little thirst desires, along the line of "Prohibition." Old friends turned up—old classmates and all. We were so glad to see each other, we had to introduce everybody—we had so much to talk about—and on we danced—until the end—a very enjoyable evening indeed, for which we thank the Crisis Staff. --- And so, this dance having ended, we journeyed to 136th Street—to the Osbiny Club rooms, where they were having one of their usually invitational and zonkie "throws"—to which everybody fain would be invited—and to which all cannot get into. In fact—all those men who would walk in uninvited are politely shown the door. This affair was like all Osbiny affairs, so what more need be said. Except that the invited ones had an "overwhoopee-whoop." *** We did not take in chop sucy this time. Neither did we end up at a night club. We had had enough for one evening. Especially at the Osbiny's—and they really know how to fill you up! * * * To continue the subject of parties and dances, another gala evening was had when Earline and Earnest Levister tendered a surprise party last Sunday evening in honor of La Vina Bowles of Chicago. By ten-thirty, the house was filled—even to the kitchen. Just as we expected, the radio went static, and since there was no piano at Earline's, we all journeyed around the corner, where they had a piano—a player at that—there was about sixty-five in the party—more boys than girls though—we all helped carry the refreshments over—every one had his hands full, so you can imagine what we had to eat—and to drink. The elevator whisked us up to the tenth floor, and we found out that it ran all night—so what matter—and—then, the music started—we had all kinds of music for a few of those boys could swing a mean tune—we danced and stomped and neither the people below nor the Be Beautiful Ugly, Unsightly Hair and Facial Blemishes (Warts, Moles, Etc.)

Well, we had the time of our young lives, and we hated to leave—but we did, carrying the empty results of the evening back to Earline's, we were dropped down ten flights, we took up a collection for the elevator boy—which made him rich for a week or a night at least—then tired, sleepy, happy and all, we taxied home—and to bed.

Brown, pastor, presented Helen Walker King of Cincinnati, Ohio, well known dramatic soprano, in a recital which was both pleasing and impressive. Her program was well chosen, and appealed to the different senses of the audience. It consisted of all familiar and popular numbers, among which were: J. Rosamond Johnson's "Li'l Gal," Strickland's "Lindy Lou," Frey's ::I Don't Feel No Ways Tired," King's "Little David, Play on Your Harp," and Will Marlon Cook's, "Wid de Moon, Moon, Moon." She has a very pleasing voice, which was appreciated by the audience—as shown by the continuous applause prevalent after each rendition. The Church was packed to capacity. W.

For the first time in the history of the cinema, two world premiers are to occur simultaneously in one city. The night this long awaited offering opens on Broadway, will also witness its opening at the Lafayette in Harlem. Thus, very thoughtfully, New York removes the necessity for its darker children to journey all the way downtown to the Embassy. In this way, many a first nighter's nose will have less cause to be elevated. * * * Georgia Peters Mitchell, who has been pursuing an extensive course of study at Columbia, plans to return to West Virginia within the next week.

Ever since I was so high, I have thought him to be the most remarkable man I had ever met. He still is—though he just never can remember me—when we meet again after a century. They say that the annual outing, given by the Delta Sigma Kappa Fraternity at Shady Rest was hot like that. We just couldn't get off to attend. Miss Ruth Walker, a musical comedy star, who won a reputation for herself both here and abroad, died at her home, 2192 7th Avenue, Wednesday morning, after a long illness. Funeral services were held last Saturday from Duncan Brothers, Messrs. Bojangles Robinson and Mussie Anderson in charge. The many friends of Miss Walker mourn her passing, as she was only a young girl—with a very bright outlook ahead of her. Prior to her death, a collection of $151.20 was taken up at the midnight show at the Lafayette in aid of Miss. Walker. Rae Olley and Anna Small, who are enjoying themselves in Detroit-after their back-to-nature vacation at camp, write that whereas they are having a bang-up time, they have suffered horribly from their trip there by bus. Everything just had to happen to the bus—and if they are returning the same way—they break all records for endurance.

Modern beautifying done in the modern Pennsylvania station in a taxi—(I mean we did some flying—for both had overslept. We were met at the station by lovely Bernice Dietrieuille who is author of "Bits by Bernice" (Courier) "Peggy's" columns which appear in the Afro-American and Norfolk Journal and Tribune—and who is a member of one of Philly's oldest families—"Bernie" is not only a brilliant writer—but one of the prettiest, sweetest girls we have ever known. She's just our size and height—sixty-two inches tall—and has beautiful long chestnut-colored hair—those eyes—and that charming smile and dimples are fascinating—really! The three of us—the adorable Wilhelmina—(who vamped all of the boys she met)Bernice and I are the same size—and we like it—no foolin'— All day we had fun galore. During the latter part of the afternoon we took in some of the sights of that "City of Brotherly Love"—("What's in a name?) We witnessed two fights between adults—both within an hour.) At the cosy Marlon Tea Room on 20th and Bainbridge Streets we saw Fannie Vick of the Bordentown Industrial School staff, Phyllis Taylor (who is just another reason why Philly is a swell town) and Alton Berry ("Chippie") they call him. He formerly lived in our Jamaica, Long Island, but I understand he's a Philadelphia now—and good to look at—too! Take it from us! About an hour or two before our train was due to leave—Mitchell ('Flaming Youth") Capps—who resembles Paul Coleman a great deal—Stanley ("Ready") Cones, and Charley Ashe—("Dreaming Daddy" he's called — but we've renamed him "Fast Worker" and "Lady Killer")—took us driving. We certainly did cover ground—but ten minutes before train time—the car broke down in Fairmount Park, West Philly. To make a very long story short—we missed our train—stayed over—went riding some more in the pouring raining—(it rained cats and dogs—as for the lightning and thunder—well it was rather exciting—). However, we left Philly at 12 midnight—motored back to Brooklyn—with Bernie—Mitchell, Hugo Jackson whose car we finally came in—and Charley—arriving in Brooklyn Monday morning at the nice hour of three after a too bad rive. Among others we met were Fannie Dutricouille—Bernice's cute brunette "sis" who is a Philly school marm—and Bernice's father—Mr. Albert Dutricouille. We have brought back with us—happy memories of Quaker Ville—and a never—never—to be forgotten visit at Bernice's delightful home. * * * Mrs. Carrie Fortune spent the past week at Greenwood Lake, N.

ON SUNDAY, August 4th, a most enjoyable time was had by those who attended the dinner party given by Mrs. Christine Bolden and son, Edwar J. Bolden, at their residence, 71 Roseville Avenue. Bride and dancing were indulged in, which brought about that wee hour of the morning too soon, everybody not wanting to leave. Those present were Misses Mary Barrett, Estella Vaughan, Ruth Parker, Mrs. Helen Smith of New York, Ralfe J. Smith, Booker T. Wynn, Mrs. Edith Waters, Elmer Johnson and Charles Wormley of East Orange, Allen Vaughan and Eulace Peacock of Vaux Hall, N. J., Misses Sophronia Howard, Dorothy Barnes, Claudia Wynn, Mrs. Ozella Wynn, John Barnes, Ulysses Campbell, George Archer, Ulysses Wynn, Robert Hayward of Newark. Mr. Austin Vaughan of Vaux Hall, was master of ceremonies. * * * One of those old fashioned, Georgia breakdowns and shindigs was held last Thursday evening at Elks' Dreamland Academy, given by Pride of Newark's Band, under the leadership of Irving Ray, Essex Temple, No. 42; and Pride of Newark Marching Club. The reception was very well attended and every one had a jam-up time. Hilton Johnson and his Sundown Stompers furnished the tooting and believe me, they tooted out of this world. Ask any of the gang, if you are in doubt. The committee of affairs wishes to thank all who attended. Pride of Newark Lodge intends to strut its stuff on August 27th—at the parade during the Convention in Atlantic City. * * * Ran across our friend, Sam Bea, the basket ball idol, who happened to be in a party which was strangling hot dogs and drinking soda. One would take for granted that he was trying to keep in condition for next fall. Well, gang, can one show form on such a diet? ☆ ☆ ☆ I guess the dancing class will have to put flags out at half mast as "Smiling" Jimmy Wheeler is on his vacation at Spring Lake. Wonder how my boy feels at this time, thinking about the good time he is missing? * * * The Broadway Stompers who happen to be on a short vacation will be welcomed muchly at the dancing class. Even though it may be ever so warm, all the gang wants to make whoopee. \* \* \* Miss Mary Williams, one of Newark's favorite young misses, will be at the seashore, Atlantic City, the week of the 25th, at the Lincoln Hotel. She will enter the Fox Trot at Fitzgerald's that week. So, gang, we will do our stuff and try to help this cute little lady to bring home the bacon.

MYRTLE'S HAT SHOPPE 2368 SEVENTH AVENUE (Amy Brown Beauty Shoppe) THE INTER-STATE TATTLER SYPHILIS, which is the cause of paresis or general paralysis which may manifest itself during the period of the disease by delusion of grandiosity. The affected individuals may not be content with possessing few thousands, but reckons his fortune in millions and billions; he has sold gold carriages, harnesses set in precious stones an offers to give you each morning a flee 1. of ships to go around the world with a million dollars and a thousand wives. The paretic has caused the death of untold numbers of human beings, or he may claim that he has no stomach, no bowels, no brains, etc. The delusions are marked by an absurdity resulting from defective judgment and impaired intelligence. In the very early stages the symptoms may be those of irritability and restlessness which may exhibit itself in many ways, as, for instance, useless business activity, fits of violent rage over small matters, and slight lapses of memory. The reasons for all these things are inadequate and often foolish. We often find in this stage of the disease the beginnings of those speech defects which later become characteristic of parietics. There may be a slight hesitation and defect in a single word. However, if he is asked to repeat the word he may repeat it promptly and correctly. If the speech defect is slightly more marked we may notice a slight tremor about the muscles of the mouth which is brought out by a difficult word or by emotional excitement. This tremor is also found in other conditions. The peculiar mental symptoms which are present in paresis often requires the services of a trained psychiatrist for a diagnosis. However, a physician should be consulted at the first appearance of any abnormal symptoms. Professional Announcement Tel.

He warmed to his work the instant he faced his audience, and from then on it was a panic of hand-clapping. it was undoubtedly one of Bo’s greatest triumphs, and there’s no mistaking the fact that Bill en- joyed the evening as much as any one in the audience or on the stage. Whitman, Mills and Robinson kicked in with some clever com- edy bits that tickled the audience. This combination is a wow. Billy Mills and Ernest Whitman, big as Jack Johnson. and Freddy Robin- son, about the size of “Black” Bill, the fighting Cuban flyweight. Oh, poy, and how they made us laugh with their antics. This Whitman is a master actor. Ernest became amused at something and had to laugh himself. But, unlike other entertainers, he made the laugh look natural. He did not try to suppress his mirth as so many ac- tors try to do when laughing out of turn. - Naturally, the dancing was the outstanding feature of the program. My, my, my, and what hoofing. It seemed that everybody kicked in with flying feet and perfect rhythm and Allie Boss and his classy musi- cal aggregation played as seldom before. If you want high-class en- tertainment, clean, wholesome en- tertainment, the Lafayette Theatre has it all this week. The Lincoln Opens The Lincoln Theatre will re- open on Monday, August 19, with what promises to be one of the fin- est musical comedy and photoplay programs in the history of Harlem theatricals. The decision to open the Lincoln at this time instead of waiting for the customary Septem- ber opening is due partly to the fact that “Hallelujah” is to be pre- sented at the Lafayette Theatre, and the splendid programs which have been offered at the Seventh Avenue Playhouse are being trans- ferred to the Lincoln. The musical comedy portion of the opening program is_ entitled “Sun Tan Frolics.” Mamie Smith is the star. The cast also includes Grace Rector, Onnie Jones, Slick Chester, Sara Martin Speedy Wil- son, Lily Yuen, Pee Wee and Ed- die, Clarence Peters, Charley Gray and other celebrities. There will also be a big photo- play program, the feature of which will be “The Loves of Casanova,” a fascinating story. aS re Bord Slag Oi SS | “eR a Be ee erty ‘ as aed ae cand mean | Fee os : eS | | { Bi. & i ° oN Ses | a fi.

At The Alhambra Keeping up with the news of hour, the Alhambra Theatre is presenting a dramatic sketch that brings to mind the recent out- breaks at several pvisons a few weeks ago. This playet, “Jail Break,” shows Edna Barr, Teddy Blackmon, Josephine Campbell and Bessie Wrightson to the best ad- vantage. The just mentioned ar- tists were exceedingly good, all things considered, in the parts they were assigned. Unfortunately, this dramatic stock proposition is a very, very difficult proposition and most ex- acting on the players. This strain seems to be telling on the reliable Thomas Mosely and Hayes Prior also. Both of these gentlemen were fighting for their lines, and this, of course. detracted from their acting. Thomas Mosely should be given a week’s vacation at the theatres’ expense. and it would TITAW 71> NCHA bDRL NCW PLAYING ae Deir!

Friday, August 16, 1929 BALLET NINA MAE McKINNEY, clever little star of King Vidor's great all-colored all-talkie movie production, "Hallelujah." is coming to New York to be present at the premier of her great triumph and classic when it is shown at the Lafayette Theatre, next week. Miss McKinney, just a seventeen-year-old girl, was a member of Lew Leslie's dancing chorus of dancing damsels. But Nina was not destined to remain a chorine long. That marvelous blues voice and her charm and beauty were not to be denied. So, when illness forced "Honey" Brown out of the picture, Nina Mae was ready to answer the call when "Opportunity" knocked. She stepped into the picture and made good with a vengeance. She's an honest-to-goodness New York girl, has a host of friends in this great community and is certain of a royal ovation when she arrives here next Tuesday.

Aside from being so beautiful, Ruth was very young, having seen the light of day in New York City only twenty-four years ago. She began her theatrical career with Florence Mills in the Plantation Revue, and had served with the Shuffle LAFA 7 TH A Beginning T (A Perform 2 Performances ADMISSION MATINEES PRICES: There will also be an extra Along Company, the Coton Club and Connie's Inn. In 1927 Miss Walker left New York to fill engagements in Europe. For a while she entertained in France, Spain and Germany. It was in Spain where she contracted a heavy cold that developed into consumption that snuffed out her life just a few days ago. Having successfully triumphed in France and Germany, Miss Walker journeyed to Spain and there was taken seriously ill. She was sent to a sanitarium in Switzerland where she spent thirteen months in her losing fight with the "White Plague." Not improving as she had hoped, the beautiful little dancer decided to come home, and left there early in May. She arrived AYET AVENUE AT 13 tuesday Evening ance at 8:30 P.

It was only a question as to how long she could keep up the fight with "Death." Her many friends rallied to her with words of encouragement and comfort, but poor Ruth knew that her end was near. Yet the brave girl faced the end with a smile and greeted her many friends with cheery words, despite the speedy approach of death. Two of her staunchest friends were Bill Robinson and "Mussie" Anderson, who spared no effort or expense to cheat death of its youthful victim. But their noble work was in vain, for the end came last Wednesday a week ago, as the unfortunate young woman fell into a sleep from which she was never to awaken.

Sunday morning loomed into view with many clouds, then showers. I was thankful, for I knew then that rain spelled rest for me. But there was to be no rest, for old Sol was shining brightly around three, the time set for our dinner engagement at my house, and there she was, only fifteen minutes late.

Pritchett was the starting flinger for the Hilldales and he too failed to prove successful. The Cubans rapped him for three runs in the first inning, to take a short lead. However, the Hilldales fell on Roselle for two runs in the second and four in the third to take the lead. Fabre then came into sight for the Islanders and the Hilldales greeted him with a festoon of four runs, making the lead 10 to 3. But in the fifth inning Pritchett suddenly lost his curve and by the time relief pitcher Cockril could get the home team out, seven runs had been scored and the count was knotted. However, the Hilldales tallied once in the sixth and then in the eighth to settle the issue. The nightcap started with Juanello tossing for the Cubans and Strong for the Hilldales and like the first game, neither finger was around long. Strong had little control and two runs in the first and two in the second caused him to give way to Charleston, who pitched great ball for the remaining five innings. It was a close game until the fifth, when Juanello weakened and Sigo, his relief, was also rapped hard, eight runs being pushed over the plate. Al Smith Wins Al Smith, classiest little flyweight we've seen in years, scored a sensational kayo last week at the North Hudson Club of West New York. A powerful right hand shot to the button toppled Joe De Poto of Harrison, N. J., like a ton of bricks in the very first flurry of punches. Alex. is a smart, aggressive little game cock who continuously piles in on his man with a sweeping attack similar to that of Pancho Villa and Deneia, famous Phillipine gladiatorure We expect great things of this sterling flyweight. Wilbur Cohen Promoter Dapper little Wilbur Cohen, has for the past ten weeks been promoting fights at Roanoke, Virginia. This lad has met nearly all of the outstanding bantamweights in the country including Benny Bass at least twice, is proving Benny Bass at least twice, and is proving that he is quite as good as a business man as he was when actively in the racket. Wilbur will fight occasionally, and sends his best regards to his many friends in New York City through these columns. "All-Star Card" ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 13th.

NO LONG WAITS DOBBINS COAL CO., Inc. 138th St. & Madison Ave. Harlem 4457—4458—4459 NO SHORT WEIGHTS The city's skyline, with its grand architecture and bustling waterfront, is a testament to its rich history and cultural significance. ESPITE the usual lethargy, midsummer vibrates here in a medley whose strains sing gayety to humanity's heart and in whose rythm moves myraid of bodies in happiness galore. The Boardwalk—this is one center of civilized gayety—debonair, dashing, delightful, comical, inspiring, surprising, etc., etc. To take a walk on the Play Bounds' boardwalk means to have every faculty inside the Pia Mater exercised. From the cheapest entertainment to grand Opera can be had; from hot dogs to zillion course dinners; clothes to suit the pauper and the millionaire; Real Estate offices that sell shacks and villas. In fact there is nothing seemingly that can't be had on this grand ole boardwalk of ours. This fact probably makes the Play Ground the reason for so many surprisingly sudden periphrases on glancing in the "herb bag" the morning after the day before. In this city of gayety, however, regardless of its whir, buzz and incessant movement one can find rest if he so desires and beauty supreme and especially at twilight. With the sun setting magnificently throwing its cardinal shades over dancing waters, gives a beckon, the commingled colors of a canvas only can capture, that call every being of the shore to relaxation. Later in the evening though there are two calls—one to rest, the other to play and as usual the "survival of the fittest." Many people, from everywhere, are here—as my eavesdropping on the boardwalk proved as well as many new acquaintances—to enjoy what Atlantic City offers. Who? Well: Miss Clyde D.

It was my first real close-up view of him, and I noticed he was growing a cute mustache which he said he was taking off because his hair is jet black and the mustache is blonde—or brown. I also notice he had freckles—a few—or maybe they were moles—the floor revue was hot like that, in fact—we say it over again—one girl in that revue could dance like nobody's business, and those two boys could tap, stomp, and all right out of this world.

Pullman Porter News The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters has made an appeal to the White and Colored Churches of America to relate their Labor Day Sunday Messages to the struggles of the Pullman Porters for the right to organize, a living wage, and better working conditions. According to A. Philip Randolph, President and General Organizer, the American Church has been urged by the Federal Council of Churches of Christ, the National Welfare Catholic Council, and the Central American Rabbi Association to stress the great need of cooperative effort, the sacredness of human life, the power of unselfish action, the social stewardship of property, and the subordination of the profit motive spirit, of service which embraces the principles for which the Porters' Union is fighting. Mr. Randolph avers that the Labor Movement is a spiritual movement, as it is inspired by a passion in human life, and social justice for all mankind, regardless of race, creed, color, sex, or nationality. "The Negro Church, representing the working class population," says the Porters' chief, "can serve the race nobly in championing the cause of labor, and yet remain true to its traditions, since Jesus Christ was a carpenter, and all his disciples workmen."

By Jackie Nobile "If we might look into each other's heart And see the loneliness that hidden lies, We would not dare to wait, nor stand apart, Smothering all friendly impulse till it dies. If on the Road we'd try to make a friend Of every lonely heart we chance to meet, The Road would hide a treasure 'round each bend And we would tread the way with eager feet." (With Emerson's words, "Speak to his heart, and the man becomes suddenly virtuous," in her mind, his interesting writer went forth to be kind). "The past Thursday I visited the young man whom I wrote you about. He is one of the unfortunates on Welfare Island, an artist. No doubt you remember him. I found him to be very well-educated and interesting. I enjoyed my visit knowing it made him happy to have me there. He is going to send me a special pass as I have promised to visit him often—I was his first visitor. His mother wanted to come, but he asked her not to and I think it was best. "He happens to be a young man from my home town; that is the reason I have such an interest. He wishes me to visit his mother with him after his release. That was my first visit to a place of that sort, but I learned many things which I never knew before right in the city of New York. 'My mother is joining me on the next trip to see him. He is a very promising young man and has many bright prospects for the future. His case was a minor one. "There are so many of us on the outside who do not realize what those poor men on the inside are experiencing. "We owe many thinks to you and your wonderful column for our meeting.

I found out who he was and he turned out to be one of my old acquaintances. I am not holding you responsible but this time I am asking you on my bended knee to send me some sweet little girl that has nobody to really call her own, and would really like to meet a real and true friend that knows what true friendship means—one looking forward to the better things of life.

I am sure she will never regret what she does for me." "I am light brownskin, curly hair, Spanish, good dancer. Like all kinds of sports." "Can there be anyone more lonely than I?

Do you think any young lady would feel safe in trying to cultivate my friendship through correspondence, or as the fellows here say, give me a break by taking a chance, for I am really lonesome—lonesome for the companionship of the other sex—lonesome for someone to write to and have someone in return write to me.

I said, 'I have been in Seattle for five months and haven't met a real man yet, so I will write to Miss Nobile and see what she can do for me. She has made others happy.' Now I am corresponding with two nice young men and I am so much happier. (I am not a flirt but I like lots of friends). "I thank you so much for the good things you did for me and if there is any way I can help you, dear Jackie, I would only be too glad to do so." * * * (My hands clasp automatically and eyes turn heavenward as thanks for this type of young man go out over the ether).

The winsome, vivacious little queen is proudly sitting on top of the list with a total of 182,000. She's mighty proud, for she got there by her own courageous efforts. But Constance, quiet as it is kept, is a bit worried. She fully realizes that the battle is not yet won and that she's got to keep fighting to keep a head of her field. Close behind her there are three determined young ladies in the Misses Margaret Robinson, supported by the Sphinx Club; Elizabeth Elzy and her sturdy little aggregation, the Lucretia Social Club; Diana Barrett and the powerful 4 F's. And she fully realizes that she is up against powerful opposition and must keep everlastingly at it until the contest ends. 11 P. M. this Saturday. While the first seven girls seem the five-year subscriptions count to have the best chances of win-heaviest. Any contestant can poll ning first prize, there is no telling a tremendously heavy vote with what may happen within the next ten or twelve of the five-year subthree days. This is the time when scriptions.

J. MARION WATSON, New York, N. Y. Remown S. C. JUANITA BOISSEAU son's being first last week was due to the Sphinx Club giving her five five-year subscriptions, totaling 125,000 votes. This may happen again. The 4 F's may do the same thing for Miss Barrett, or the Fish Club might kick in with 200,000 votes for their Miss Holloway. Even Miss Lillian Page can win the contest if the Saratoga Club should see fit to really support her in the fullest sense. Here's a nite club employing about fifty people, but that's none of our business. If this organization should make up its mind to put Miss Page across, they could do it. At any rate, this contest is one of our closest, and the winner will no doubt be the young lady who can obtain the greatest number of ten-dollar subscriptions. And the club that is successful in putting their representatives across, THE WINNER, will also be a winner and will receive the first club prize of $50.00. Elaborate plans have been successfully worked out for the big "Coronation Party" at the Renaissance Casino Sunday nite, August 25th. It's certainly going to be a bang-up affair with all the pomp and whoopee worthy of the occasion. Every contestant is expected to be present, for, like we did in our "Classic Contest," every girl who has remained in the race unto the very end will receive a prize, and one that she will appreciate. There will be about twenty-five awards, more prizes than we have ever given away before. So the young ladies who feel that they have no chance of winning one of the first big cash prizes should carry on to the end. Then they are certain to get a valuable gift in appreciation of their efforts. And that $100.00 "Prize Pajama" Parade" is going to be a wow. Already we have about fifteen contestants, and, strange as it may seem, most of them are ladies. So far, only six men have filed entry blanks. And we had planned this for the men folks. However, we have promises from about ten young fellows, and by Sunday August 25th, we expect to have fully fifty men at the Tattler Office, where we will take pictures for the daily newspapers. Norman Thomas, big-time Keith entertainer, has entered his chauffeur. The young man, James Martin, has been sitting behind the wheel of Mr. Thomas' machine, driving in a pale green pajama suit, with white suade shoes and chauffeur's visor cap. And, oh boy, he looked like the Mikado, and we don't mean maybe. The vaudeville program for the evening will include, among others, the one and only Bill Robinson who will again give away the prizes. Bill has a way of handing out the prizes to the winning girls that's a wow. They all like to get THE MON-NEE from the Bo, and he sure loves to hand out the "Tattler Yellow Back" to the fortunate girls. Then there will be "Putney" Dandridge, one of the cleverest of entainers. Putney will chirp in his usual pleasing way, and theatre lovers know how the Dandridge Kid can chirp and tickle a piano. And out of the West has come a winsome, fascinating songbird, a Miss Nettie Hayes, who entertains along the same lines as does Putney. She, too, is a pianist, and how. Well, after you've heard this marvelous songbird twitter, you'll want to take her home with you. But she's one li'l, pleasingly plump canary that just can't be caged. Donald Haywood known as the "Ebony King of the Ivories," is gonna do a bit of "Directing" in addition to rendering a few of the masterpieces. And that calls to mind that Robert Cloud and his fifteen-piece "Orquestre Casi Latina" will vie with Vernon Andrades 11-piece orchestra for the musical honors of the evening. Mr. Cloud's orchestra has ten Latin-American musicians. They have been playing for big white institutions, and this will be their first before a Harlem audience. This is only our program in part. We expect to have three more big acts. one from the Black Birds, presenting the Calloway Sis- ters, Harriet and Jean, with Sandy Burns and "Dusty" Fletcher. The other two may come from "Hot Chocolates," namely, Manzie Richardson and "Freddie" and Al, the dancers de luxe. But we will have a corking good program, presenting five or six of the best vaudeville acts now before the public.
