Fortune Frowns on Garvey; IF the beginning of the operation of the Black Star Line presaged a brilliant future for the Garvey Movement, it also marked the start of his down-hill slide that was to land him in a peck of trouble. The huge sums spent for ships and the utter lack of knowledge concerning the operation of a steamship company could lead to but one end: Failure. When expenditures ought to have been curtailed and when good business policy called for the sale of ships rather than the purchase of them, the Black Star Line chose the most unbusinesslike policy. In order to arouse more enthusiasm and thus be able to collect more funds, the Black Star Line announced the pending purchase of another ship, bigger and better than all of the rest. The Garveyites were jubilant. Money poured into the company's treasury. All of this money wasn't used for the purchase of the ship. There seems to have been much in common between the funds of the U. N. I. A. and the Black Star Line. Money was taken from one treasury and placed in the other, and vice versa. Needless to say, such juggling of funds is very illegal even if one's intentions are good. Suffice to say that appeals were sent out to the members of the U. N. I. A. to purchase shares in the Black Star Line in order to make possible the acquirement of a steamship to be known as the S. S. Phyllis Wheatley but then known as the S. S. Orien. It has even been said that so sure were the officials of the company that they would get the S. S. Orien that they sold passage in her to the West Indies. At any rate, the steamship never became the property of the Black Star Line and thus it was guilty of using the United States mails to defraud. It mattered not what the intentions of the officials were, the results were the same. An oil well promoter may sell oil stock to the public in the sincere belief that the well will soon gush oil but when it doesn't do so, he is no less liable because of his sincerity. The Government Steps In The Department of Justice which had been keeping a close watch on Marcus Garvey and his operations since the Yarmouth fiasco, now stepped in and demanded that Garvey produce the S. S. Phyllis Wheatley. Garvey temporized and the Department was indulgent. Time passed. Still no ship appeared over the horizon. Then the Government got into action. It dug up a complainant, one Benny Dancey, a Negro laborer who had purchased stock in the Black Star Line on the strength of the assertions that the S. S. Phyllis Wheatley would be purchased. In his "Philosophy and Opinions," Marcus Garvey explains the failure to get the ship as being due to a dishonest official. He claims that this official was given $25,000 to pay on the ship in the Spring of 1921; that the official did not pay the money on the ship or that he only paid part of it; that the ship was never obtained nor his money returned. It is very easy to lay all mistakes to dishonest officials. If the Black Star Line had been properly organized and operated with experienced and bonded officials, the dishonest officials could have been taken care of by the law and it is doubtful whether any money would have been lost, or at least, not very much. But Garvey wanted to run everything himself; had to be the Big Boss, and, of course, had to accept the responsibility and pay with his liberty for the inefficiency of his associates. Garvey Pleads His Case In due time the trial came off. Here Garvey committed another grave error: viz, conducting his own defense. He started out with lawyers but finding that he wasn't getting enough limelight, he brushed legal advice aside and jumped to the middle of the arena. For days and days he shouted and gesticulated, boomed and castigated, seemingly desirous or hopeful of persuading the jury that he was not guilty by sheer force of his loud voice and commanding personality. It is a well known fact among informed persons that if Garvey had stayed in the background and allowed shrewd lawyer-politicians like the late Henry Lincoln Johnson to conduct his case, he would never have gone to jail and would be right in New York City today. There are more ways than one to skin a cat, but Garvey, as has been stated, is a rather bullheaded individual who seems to know little of the subtleties and fine diplomacy that has enabled the American Negro to make the grade in a hostile environment. By saying nothing refusing to take the stand, letting his lawyers do all of the talking and judiciously distributing a little money here and there in the right places, Garvey could have retained his liberty and American residence. Instead he chose the hardest way and suffered the consequences. As most every informed person predicted, Garvey was convicted and sentenced to five years in Atlanta with a heavy fine on June 30, 1923. He immediately appealed the By SAMUEL I. BROOKS sentence but was placed in the Tombs Prison, New York City, until such time as he could make bail. Right here it is important to point out to those who believed all of the talk about 4,000,000 million loyal members in the U. N. I. A., that if there had been anywhere near a tenth of that number of members, it would not have taken them from June 30, 1923 to September 10, 1923 to raise $25,000 bail. Tough Sledding The fact is that the U. N. I. A. was having tough sledding about that time. Money was terribly scarce. On several occasions the sheriff even attached the chairs in Liberty Hall. One of the principal reasons why money was so scarce was because of the numerous suits brought against the Movement by former employees for salaries due them. These salaries had been stipulated by Garvey and insisted upon and advertised by him and his officials in the days when the future looked rosy. Needless to say, few, if any, of the ousted officials were worth the salaries paid to them or promised to them. Nevertheless, when Garvey threw them out for dishonesty, incompetency or for what he termed disloyalty (often merely an exercise of intelligence), they promptly sued for the huge salaries due them. Invariably they won. The U. N. I. A. treasury was almost drained dry trying to make these payments. When the treasury was temporarily unable to make a payment, the ex-officials would complain and the sheriff would immediately attach some of the U. N. I. A. property. In those worrisome days he had occasion at odd times to attach about everything the organization owned except the air in the headquarters building on 135th Street. After Garvey was released on bail pending his appeal, he jumped around the country and held various meetings. He aroused new enthusiasm, brought in new members, replenished the treasury. When it comes to organizing, there are few men who are the equals of Marcus Garvey. The Black Star Line having suspended in December 1921, Garvey began organizing the Black Cross Line soon after his release from the Tombs. The man seems to have a mania for ships. Experience may be the best teacher RETRACTION In the August 9th issue of "Marcus Garvey: An Analysis," Mr. Samuel Brooks, the author of this story that concludes with this issue, made certain misleading statements that caused great embarrassment to one of our contemporaries, "The Negro World," for which we are genuinely sorry, and take this opportunity to make complete retraction for the offending lines in the article. We publish verbatim the lines in Pagraph 8 of the issue of August 9th, for which retraction is herewith made. To get around this picture difficulty as well as to send stronger propaganda to some sections of the world than to others, the Garveyltes hit upon the expediency of printing different editions of the Negro World for different localities. Those Negroes who lived at great distances as in Panama, South America and West Africa, received Negro Worlds containing photographs of gorgeous skyscrapers tickling the clouds and captioned "Headquarters of the U. N. I. A." and "Liberty Hall," while the wildest claims about the size and power of the organization were made in big type. ALVIN J. MOSES, Editor, Inter-State Tattler --- But What of but it seemed to have taught him nothing about the shipping business. A New Ship Is Purchased Soon enough money had rolled in to purchase the S. S. Booker T. Washington. It was a good ship. Under competent management of the most experienced kind it would have failed to make money because, as was stated earlier in this series, there were already more ships than there were cargoes, the Black Cross Line had no business connections with trading companies in the various ports of the West Indies and Africa with which it sought to deal and Negroes themselves did not and do not control enough trade to support a line of steamships, even if they were all Garveyites. Despite these well-known facts, the S. S. Booker T. Washington was purchased and started on its West Indian cruise. When it got to Philadelphia more money was needed and Garvey rushed down there and collected the necessary amount at a big mass meeting. Under the command of one of Garvey's officials, the "Booker T. Washington" continued on its way. First to one island and then another it went, obtaining no cargo but arousing the enthusiasm of ignorant and unthinking Negroes. In Kingston some ships carpenter brought a suit against it which had to be settled before the boat could sail and in Panama there was trouble with the crew which resulted in one of the officers quitting. The entire trip, like that of the "S. S. Yarmouth" was a comedy of errors. After staying in the Caribbean for nearly four months, the ship returned to New York, covered with rust and barnacles, a dead loss on the organization's hands with the crew complaining that they had not been paid nor even able to get adequate allowances of tobacco. On February 10th, 1925, Marcus Garvey was sent to Atlanta Federal Penitentiary where he was given a number in exchange for his name. On June 5th, 1925 he made application for a pardon. On August 10th, 1925 this application was refused. There was nothing for him to do but to serve his full time minus that taken off for good behavior. He was highly respected in Atlanta and was soon given what consideration possible. In the course of time he was released and deported in accordance with his sentence. Many ignorant Negroes thought the Government was persecuting Garvey. There is little evidence of that. On the contrary the Department of Justice gave him an opportunity to make good, but he did not or could not avail himself of it. Since his release and deportation, he has traveled to England and France speaking in behalf of the Negro. Now he is back in Jamaica. He has infused new life into the U. N. I. A. and is even now holding a convention of the Negro peoples of the world in Kingston. U. N. I. A. Has Possibilities The Universal Negro Improvement Association is not dead. It has great possibilities; great potentialities. Because its life has been full of mistakes, there is no reason why it should go on making them. Right now there is a schism threatening between those who want the headquarters to remain in Kingston, Jamaica, and those who were opposed to moving it from New York City. It is to be hoped that such a foolish argument will not split the movement. It matters not where the headquarters of the movement is located so long as the movement is functioning efficiently. As has been stated time and again, Marcus Garvey is a great leader. He is probably the greatest leader of the black masses produced in this country. Like all leaders, however, he has grave faults. Those faults, mistakes and errors have been discussed in full, not out of any desire to hold the man up to ridicule, but rather to show that he is great regardless of them and will be greater if he gets rid of them. Marcus Garvey has a vision. He sees plainly that everywhere in the Western and Eastern hemispheres the Negro, regardless of religion or nationality, is being crushed under the heel of white imperialism and exploitation. Rapidly the population of the world is being aligned in two rival camps: white and black. The whites have arms, power, organization, wealth; the blacks have only their intelligence and their potential power. If they are to be saved, they must be organized so they can present united opposition to those who seek to continue their enslavement. The Negroes now have the necessary organization in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the necessary leadership in the Hon. Marcus Garvey. If he will only adopt a sane and practical course, recruit more officials from the ranks of intelligent and educated Negroes, and lay aside his grandiose schemes for African colonization and steamship lines, he can aid materially in the economic and political emancipation of the Negro peoples of the world. The opportunity and the need is at hand. May he rise to the occasion and triumph over adversity!

Carter, former Spartan Field Club Cricketer, and a tennis and Basketball devotee second to none, was made a fire adjuster a few weeks ago by the State Insurance Department. This is an honor that has gone to only one other member of our race in this city, and merely goes to prove that "Gentleman" Carter as he was wont to be called during the heyday of his athletic career has carried the same splendid qualities that marked him as an athlete, into the business marts. FILL UP lay in FUEL FOR WINTER NO LONG WAITS DOBBINS COAL CO., Inc. 138th St. & Madison Ave. Marlton 4497-4498-4499 NO SMORT WEIGHTS THE INTER-STATE TATTLER SYPHILIS, causing paresis, which in the second period of the disease manifests certain physical symptoms. Muscular tremors and weakness are more in evidence, the walk is more ataxic, and if the paretic stands with his hands by his sides and closes his eyes he may fall. There may be paretic seizures, which resemble epilepsy. They may be severe or slight and may involve any portion 1. of the musculature and may or may not be accompanied by the loss of consciousness. Occasionally the seizure is the first symptom to attract attention, and if the patient is alcoholic it may be difficult to make a diagnosis from alcoholic epilepsy. In general paretic seizures last longer than those of epilepsy or alcoholism, and as a rule are not associated with the loss of consciousness. The seizures may last for days, the muscular twitchings spreading from one part of the body to another, the eyes may deviate and there may be a rather high rise in temperature. Under such circumstances pneumonia is particularly to be feared as a fatal accompanying disease. Paretic seizures resemble apoplexy, but the resulting paralysis is not apt to be permanent and usually disappears in a very remarkable fashion after two or three days. However, in certain cases the paretic may have an attack of apoplexy resulting in fatal paralysis. Sometimes the muscles which move the eye may become paralized, but this condition usually clears up. The cause of paretic seizures cannot be definitely explained, but is perhaps due to a clogging and poisons in the brain, as the waste products cannot be removed readily. Had a person suffering with paresis undergone the early treatment for syphilis these physical symptoms could have been avoided. Don't forget the blood test, and if in need of treatment, continue it until your physician advises you otherwise. Professional Announcement Tel.

Seats are now ¢ At the Lafayette Oe eee ee tha Ea: Theatrical history will be made when, on Tuesday evening, August 20th, “HALLELUJAH” will begin its presentation at the Embassy Theatre on Broadway and at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem. This is the first time, in the his- tory of the show business, that a picture, which is scheduled for a long Broadway run, has been opened in two theatres simultane- ously! It is, of course, useless to say that the management of the Lafay- ette Theatre is happy to be able to present “HALLELUJAH” at the same time and in the same manner as it is being presented on Broad- way. - “HALLELUJAH,” great as it is, is more than a picture. It is an important event in the life of the colored people. It is destined, more than any single thing, to bring pride and joy to the colored people, because of the accomplish- ments of the members of their race, which compose the cast of this picture. . o “HALLELUJAH” was produced by King Vidor, one of the screen’s greatest directors. All of the gi- gantic resources of the Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer Studios were placed be- hind this production. The result is one of the greatest pictures that has ever. been filmed—a massive. spectacular stirring photoplay, which pictures, in scenes of un- forgettable pathos and drama, the joy and the sadness, the tears and the laughter, the songs and the sobs, the loves, the hates, the double-crossing intrigue .and the stirring. adventures in the lives of a God-fearing colored family. The characters all talk and sing and dance. No stage or screen spectacle has ever heard such sing- ing or seen such acting! It is @ combination of the greatest of dramas,.the greatest of musical comedy revues, the greatest of love stories. No cast has ever made a picture with greater ability than the colored players who made “HALLELUAH.” ’ “HALLULUJAH”. will be pre- sented at the Lafayette Theatre in the same manner as it will be presented on Broadway. Two per- formances will be given daily with an extra performance on Sunday and a midnight show on Friday.

At The Alhambra It’s a jolly anniversary week at the Alhambra Theatre with an augmented and almost entirely new cast, gorgeous scenery and costumes, and lots of enthusiasm. Bootsy Swan and his pal, Jack Lee, are the comedy leaders of the “Anniversary Revue.” and Loyd Hollins joins in with a “dope field” specialty. George W. Bias, Harlem's de- lightful tenor singer, is here for the week, before starting his en- gagement on the Keith Circuit. Bamboo McCarver is doing his unique tap dances on skates, and leaves at the end of the week to join “Blackbirds.” John Henderson and Baby Lee lead in song, backed -up by the lively dancing girls. Several of the Broadway music publishers have granted a special release of re- stricted songs .for the occasion. A review of some of the chief hits of the past. year. js. rendered by Amanda Randolph, with her own inimitable comic touches. “A Sister’s Honor”. is a real-life drama, in which an actress, played by Bessie Wrightson, lures the husband of her sister, played by Edna Barr. Thomas Moseley 1s the husband. John Henderson is the former employer of the young wife and is honorably in love with her, Hayes Pryor is the Husband's employer, and has been robbed by the deluded man. To save her husband from prison, the young wife sacrifices her life savings and quits him as the curtain falls. After this week Hayes Pryor leaves to re-poin the “Porgy” com. pany with which he played both on Broadway and in London, The picture feature of the triple program is “The Unknown,” with Richard Talmadge as star. At the Lincoln Mamie Smith and her clever ag- gregation of entertainers opened the Lincoln Theatre ‘this week after the house had ‘been closed during the later part of July and the first three weeks of August. And Mamie was seen to advantage. The clever little record star and musical comedy entertainer scored a signal triumph. That. opening number by Miss Smith, “That Wonderful Mammy of Mine,” with Sara Martin in the role of the mammy was one of the best bits we have ever seen her in. She was most realistic and convincing, much on the order of Al Jolson, Others who contributed to the fine program are, Onnie Jones, Lily Yeun, Slick Chester, Grace Rector, “Speedy” Wilson, Pee Wee and Eddie, Clarence Peters, Charles Grey and a fast stepping aggrega- tion of dancing damsels. The photo play, “The Loves of Casanova,” registered well with the audience last Monday. An excel- Jent -crowd, in fact a capacity crowd turned out for the bang-up opening last Monday afternoon.

This new romance, starring Wil- liam Haines and directed by James Cruze is literally a cross section of Hollywood life. Haines plays a THE INTER-STATH TATTLER young soda clerk !n Hollywood. He has a correspoudence school complex and an ambition to join the Elks. Josephine Dunn is the heroine. She wants to get into pictures, as is always the case in Hollywood. There is a wild party in it—a brillant film premier with all stardom on parade, which was taken at an actual event and which shows John Gilbort and Greta Gar- bo, among others, entering the theatre. Sam Hardy plays the villain, and achieves the height of villainy while still managing to get a few laughs out of the story. Near tho end of the story, however, he is on the receiving side of a terrific beat. ‘tng from Haines. Mae Busch is seen as the hardboiled picture act ress who acts as guardian angel to the movie-struck bride.

Other members of the cost are William Collier, Jr.. Gladys Brock- well, Edward Martindel, Lucy Beaumont and John Miljan. “Hardboiled Rose” tells a drama- tic story of the aristocracy of New Orleans and of a tragedy brought to one of the city’s “finest fam- flies" by the menacing shadow of a roulette wheel. Myrna’s father, in the film, steals bonds from his bank to pay a big gambling debt, and then shoots himself. The daughter’s lover takes the guilt of the bond stealing upon himself to shield the suicide’s honor in the eyes of the stricken widow. It is to save her lover that the gentle, convent-bred girl transforms her- self into the hardhoiled girl of the title and goes to the gambling house to recover the stolen bonds. She is plunged into a series of colorful and dramatic incidents that keep the interest at fever heat until the very end. “AIN'T MISBEHAVIN'?

"I guess that I know this fellow Hawkins, whom we call 'Long Tom', because of his great height and reach, better than any one else in the racket," said Cox. "He is as fast and shifty as a middleweight, and possesses the strength of a mountain lion. Best of all he knows how to use his great powers to the best advantage inside the ropes, and is a mighty tough man for anyone in the world to handle as Godfrey will learn tonight." Well, Tom was right. Hawkins, according to Associated Press reports and concensus of expert newspaper opinion, found in the columns of the Los Angeles dailies, gave the pride of Jimmy Dougherty's eye the very 'devil' of a time up until the very moment Page Twelve 10,000 D CHATTING in the New Garden with Tom Cox, mentor to Gans, premier race Jump and Welterweight boxer, station ran to Tom Hawkins California, heavyweight contender tuled to hook up with ponderous C that very evening at Los Angeles. "I guess that I know this for whom we call 'Long Tom', because height and reach, better than any racket," said Cox. "He is as fast a middleweight, and possesses the mountain lion. Best of all he knows his great powers to the best advan-ropes, and is a mighty tough man the world to handle as Godfrey wright. Hawkins, according to Assoc of expert newspaper opinion, found dailies, gave the pride of Jimmy D time, up until the very moment both of them started shooting their sledge hammer blows below the fair line. Your correspondent has heard a great deal during the past two years of Tom Hawkins and Neil Clisby, and coast fans are unanimous in the opinion that both of these bronzed babies have the Indian sign over Godfrey. Clisby Light-Heavyweight NEIL CLISBY first gained the front pages of sportdom when he decisively trounced the hard punching veteran John Lester Johnson, whom it will be recalled by fans of a decade ago, was the fighter who smashed in three of Jack Dempsey's oaken thewed ribs. We told our readers then that Clisby was the stiffest punching 175-pounder since Bob Fitzsimmons ruled the Light-heavy roost, and that with the proper handling, ought to provide no end of excitement for the Lomskis, Laughrans, Sekyras, etal. Like every "Weary River" one day finding its haven in the wide open spaces of the sea,—Clisby seemed to peter out like a tallow wick in the teeth of an Autumn's blast. Our Coast operatives have up to this writing failed to acquaint us with the exact cause of this Clisby person's fall from the high places of Fistiana. Of course the natural conclusion and the one that we humans leap at with much gusto,—is the wine, woman and song paradox—but always this is not the case. After beating our old pal John Lester a couple times just to prove to the skeptics that the first one was not a fluke, Clisby clambered through those hempen strands with no less formidable opponent than this self-same George Godfrey. Shades of Sam Langford THE layman sometimes forgets to credit on the right side of the ledger, all that is due a man of such slight poundage for essaying battle with these man mountains of unquestioned class. Bob Fitzsimmons's fight against Herr Plaacke, the beefy 300 pound Dutchman, was nothing less than a parade for the dynamic punching Cornishman. Had a George Godfrey been in the opposite corner that night, the 158 pound freckled wonder might have fared no better than he did in his mills against Sharkey, Ruhlin, or Jeffries—despite the fact that Godfrey is not at this time in the same class with the above mentioned trio. Licking a GOOD BIG MAN when you yourself are but a good sized stripling, requires more than the notion. They tell us that Clisby actually outpointed burly Gawge for five of the six rounds that the fight lasted, Godfrey winning out in the sixth on a technical K. O. Quite often the over-ballyhooed knuckle pusher makes the grievous mistake of invading the tank towns in search of lambkins. — only to emerge with a wild and wooly bearskin draped across his bruised shoulders. Godfrey, is to our way of thinking the best heavyweight in the world to-day. Only Jack Sharkey who defeated him in 12 rounds up Boston way prior to the man's great win over Harry Wills, ALVIN J. MOSES and the superlatively clever Tommy Loughran, figure to give him any trouble over a route. Paulino was well nigh ruined by George in the coast battle refereed by George Blake, and was rendered the easiest sort of foeman for Max Schmelling in their late imbroglio. Risko, renowned "Rubber Man" of Cleveland, was given the nod over Godfrey after the gigantic black man had all but annihilated him with a body attack he never recovered from. Even though wins on fouls are indecisive and invariably leave a bitter brownish taste in the mouths of the fans, we pass the word along to you dear readers for what it is worth.--WATCH "LONG" TOM HAWKINS, of San Diego, Cal. George Godfrey Loses LOS ANGELES, Aug 14 (AP). Long Tom Hawkins, San Diego, Calif., Negro heavyweight, was declared the winner over George Godfrey, Pennsylvania Negro heavyweight, in a scheduled ten-round bout here last night. Hawkins was awarded the verdict on a foul in the third round after he had been carried to his corner and examined for injuries. Some ringsiders said Hawkins started the ruckus in the second round when he hit Godfrey twice with punches that were questionable. Godfrey, apparently in retaliation, struck Hawkins low in the same round. In the third Godfrey complained of another low blow. The referee waved them into action with Godfrey landing several questionable blows under cover of heavy milling. His final punch, a hard one to the groin, sent Hawkins writhing in pain to the canvas. Newspaper opinion gave Hawkins the lead when the fight stopped. Athletic Patrolman Leading Popularity Contest George E. Booker, standing over six feet two inches in his stockinged feet, and an athlete from the ground up, leads all his brother officers from the 32nd Precinct in the Evening Journal popularity contest for Policemen and Firemen.

Elks Boxing Show at Atlantic City May See Upsets Elks Boxing Show at Atlantic City May See Upsets Atlantic City, N. J. The boxing show here next Tuesday night, arranged as part of the Grand Lodge entertainment for the Negro Elks, is an attractive one and may be packed with several upsets. Four good bouts are on the card put together by Promoter John E. Gatling and Jimmy Toppi, matchmaker. The closest fight, according to the dope, should be the one between Eddie Reed, of New York, who has worked himself to the upper flight of featherweights in Philly, and tough Steve Smith, of Bridgeport. Smith has stood up before Benny Bass, Harry Blitman, Kid Chocolate and other contenders and has yet to be flattened. His first battle with the "Keed" in Wilkes Barre was so close that the judges disagreed and the referee's decision in favor of the brown boy was necessary. "Solid, stolid Steve" is being underrated by some of the experts and may surprise by winning over Eddie. Al Trainor is going to make a lot of trouble for Baby Joe Gans and has won his last 14 fights. Like Gans, he has beaten Young Ketchell, of Chester, a hobby welter with an excellent ring record. Trainor will bore in and pummell the California boy and may go further than seems possible.

K." has not only always been a consistent high scorer but a dependable bowler and a brilliant fielder. At the wicket the "Old Master" displays today the same brand of aggressiveness and hard-hitting. Mr. Headley is only 20 years old, and because of the simplicity of his game to that of Mr. Holt, he is often referred to as "Little J. K." But even "Big J. K." concedes this genius the topmost position of the cricketers of this Island—moreover Mr. Holt was firm in his belief, in an interview, that his rival could not be found among present-day cricketers in the entire West Indies. Lincolns Divide The Lincoln Giants had a rest from their League schedule on Sunday, August 18. They met what they thought would be an easy team—Wid Conroy's Camden nine—but the visitors surprised the large number of fans at Protectory Ovel by winning the first game, 11-8, and giving the local nine a tough battle in the other contest. Gilroy's pitching was largely responsible for Camden's victory, although errors by the local team had something to do with it. He allowed nine hits but they were kept so well scattered that the Giants made only two earned runs until the eighth inning. In the eighth home runs by George Scales and Charlie Spearman, with a single by Washington, were responsible for four runs.

Music by the Night Hawks ATLANTIC CITY HERE we are in the midst of the height of everything—heat summer, visits, fun and everything that goes to making up a lively midsummer. Everybody is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the stampede of the "Herd" that will be stopped in Atlantic City on the 25:15. Never saw so much confusion, preparations, exclusions (of roomers, furniture, etc.), for the Elks. My! My! One lady left a note inside all her roomers' doors that room rent must be paid every nite. A hotel on a popular street was stripped of its lavishings and luxuries to decorate the street and all restaurants are hiring extra help. Cabarets and taxis likewise, and everywhere one turns there are signs galore of that magnificent convention. But, say Elks, if you don't come down with oodles of "Bucks"—I'm sorry and take a tip from me. Visitors have come and still they pour. One of the most distinguished visitors in Atlantic City this week was the Mr. Wm. R. Clore, proprietor of the Hotel Vendome of Buffalo, N. Y. He spent the while with the Mr. Gershom Myers at the Liberty Hotel, his "ole Pal" and then to see Miss Margaret Green at 222-224 N. Illinois, who is one of the staff of the inimitable Paradise. Everying was done to make his stay pleasing and we hope he enjoyed it and will come again ere summer wanes. It's men like Mr. Clare—judging not alone by heights that we have reached in business but depths from whence we came—that make us feel progress and glad to be Negroes. Hotel Vendome speaks for itself and more than proves my statement. ** Mrs. Marie Fraine Bowles, formerly of "How Come" Company, made a trip to Atlantic City to visit her charming girl friend, the Miss Hazel Miles and say Hello and Good Bye. We all enjoyed it but we were so sorry she had to leave so soon. * * * The Joe Raineys and family are here. Mr. Rainey is coach of the Lincoln University track team and manager of the Douglass Hotel in Philadelphia. The latter, from which he resigned because of failing health. We all hope you'll be better soon. \* \* \* Regina James, formerly of the Golden Gate Cabaret, has gone back to Philadelphia because of illness, also. *** Speaking of cabarets reminds me I'm by a long shot no cabaret fiend but I must duty bound tell what's going on here. Wednesday nite found me and "us" wending duty laden steps toward that spot of bright lights, spelling "Orion Cabaret." In we went to see and hear—but beb-bee, when we left we were feeling. Boy that place is a Wow! And that's putting it mild. After the Manager—the Polite Gentleman—showed us to a couple of choice seats and saw to it that we were comfortable we were left to see the revue and any other of the five (or is it seven?) senses we cared to exercise. After listening to a number of hot dance pieces by Ira Owens and his Orion Nite Hawkes the Revue began with a bunch of chorus girls that are rather hard to look at, but my, such dancers! Among them were Dickie Jones, Little Bits Harris, Bea Charleston, Gertrude Clark and Rita Lair Childs. The comedians, the teams of "Charleston and Baer" are the hit of the show. The principals are Misses Hazel Terry, Helen Lee, Rose Howard and Helen Cooper, the latter a popular radio lady over W. P. G., and is the main attraction. Pedro Lane struts to a novel medley and wellds a wicked walking cane. The revue is plenty snappy, and the principals are good with a fast chorus and here's resting assured there'll be plenty of empty pocketbooks the morning after the night before when the "Herd" gets in. ```markdown ``` The little darling, the four-year old daughter of Mrs. Dolores Watson, Mildred, is spending a while with her mother at the Lincoln. * * * Friends of Mattie Hite will find her headliner at the Paradise again this season.

Now about my looks. I don't know what to say, more than tell you what people tell me—that I'm nice looking, dark brownskin man, but for me to say, I'm unspeakable on the matter. "I hope that if you have a lonely little girl that is sincere and really desires a true pal, I trust you will try to help me." * * * "Dear Miss ackie-I am a young fellow that hasn't any friends and would like you to help me find a nice girl. At the present time I am under confinement and would like someone to correspond with. This is my first fall in society and I have to serve one year. My confinement is not any crime to be ashamed of, as any man is subject to have an accident driving a car. "Am brownskin. black hair, five ft. 6 in., weigh 165 lbs., 26 years old and considered passable. Would like a girl that's passable, around the age of 25. brownskin. Please, she doesn't have to be what most people ask for—good-looking." *** (If I had the use of a magic wand I would turn everybody into a "happy.") "Whenever I read the Tattler I see a lot of Lonesome Hearts expecting you to turn them 'happies.' Having myself at the head of that lonesome crowd and tired of this loneliness, I'd like to hear from you some way in which I can turn happy. "I am 20, brownskin, neat dresser, maybe good-looking, good hair; do not drink. The lady I'd like to meet must be brownskin or lighter. neat dresser, age 17-21, height 5 ft., weight 110 to 125 lbs. Will exchange photos." * * * (Washington. D. C., always an interesting setting for a scene, sends to the Lodge of Lonesome Hearts a distress signal.) "As your column has been a great aid in bringing happiness to others, I wonder if through it you will be so kind as to help me? "I would like to correspond with a nice girl of about 18. about five ft. 6, light brownskin, black hair, nice figure and good looking. "Five ft. 8 in.. black hair, light brownskin, well-educated, and a pleasing personality will about sum me up." (All those who prize character above all else, please lend me your ears. I have a sweet morsel of news to impart.) "I find L. H. page quite lively and entertaining. "I am a stranger in the city. I would like for you to assist me in finding a nice young man to correspond with, one that can appreciate the highest qualities in a girl. He must at least be five ft. 6 to 6 ft. tall, neat and with a good sense of humor. I would like for him to have a high school education at least; also an unreproachable character is desired. "I have worked my way through high school, as my mother is dead. Am 18, five ft. 2 in. tall, weigh 114. My character has never had a blemish on it. I am dark brownskin with pretty good points. I like to swim, dance, play cards, and all wholesole fun I engage in. As to my personality, almost everyone says that I have something called 'it.' Am from Richmond, Va., and a recent graduate. Send photo, please." (Wonderful Youth, with exclamations of joy and hope and life ever new.) "Oh! Jackie dear, I once said that I would never advertise for a friend even if I never got one. Since that statement my whole life has changed and I have experienced many things. I am so lonely for what I term a real true friend that I don't know what to do! After reading so many L. H. letters I have finally secured enough courage to write and ask you to please help me. "I am 20, American. chocolate brown, admirable hair and attractive. High school education, cultured, refined, ambitious, and respectable. I have 'it.' By that I mean personality. Have all the qualities that are necessary for a decent, honest-to-goodness girl. "He—complexion and looks are of least importance. Must have such qualities as I have stated above. Must read and write, but doesn't necessarily have to be educated. Must love sports and amusements, and to go about, even out of town. Must be 21-28, between 5 and 6 ft. tall, and a good dresser. Must not drink or curse." * * * (Always the L. H. editor is besieged for persons who are of the "pal" type. The gods send an answer for the fortunate young man whose lucky star is in the ascendency.) "I will be 19 August 27th. Am medium brownskin, weigh 135, height five ft. 5, high school student. Don't drink, smoke or pet. Would like to meet someone that wants a girl for a real pal. "He must be at least 5 ft. 7 or more, between the ages of 21-30." (Here is a new member of our L. H. Club. Let's give him a rousing welcome!) "Dear Jackie—May I join your L. H. Club? Here is my subscription (beautiful blue money order tucked in.) "Would like to correspond with some lonesome lady about thirty. I am thirty-six, medium brown, weight about 160, and am 5 ft. 10 in. tall. Love out-door sports but do not care for social affairs. "I will return to your town, where I have made my home for the past year, having previously resided in the Mid-West. I do not drink and have no patience with those people who do. "If any of our members live near here. I would be very glad to meet them." Please, may I urge you to read the note directly under the cut at the top of the Lonesome Heart page, so that you may know the requirements before sending your communication to the editor? * * * "A British-American, interested in finding a cultured young woman who loves the beautiful things of life, would like to meet a foreign girl if possible. He is financially permanent and could make the right type of girl happy." (Here are two more letters that have an appeal—the first is naive, the second shows breadth of mind and sympathy.) "I just bought my first edition of the Tattler and to my surprise I found that the L. H. Column was very interesting. I would very much love to correspond with one of your members. I guess I have to leave the other details to you and have explicit faith as the others do. "I find it difficult to describe to you all that I have in my mind. Any way, I will try my best to give you a rough idea about myself: Am 25 years old, five ft. 3 inches, light brownskin. Do not drink or flirt. But the only bad habit I have is smoking. I love swimming but I don't know how to dance, though I like it very much." * * * "Dear Miss Nobile-I am a newcomer, also a new reader of the Tattler, and words are inadequate to express how lonesome I am. Have been here one year from India-am loudly applauding your column. "I believe in helping fallen or bruised persons.

Tattler's Coronation Party Sunday Nite August 25th The Crowning Of The Tattler's New Queen At The Renaissance Casino Will Be Glorious Event With All The Pomp Necessary For The Occasion. Bill Robinson And "Hallelujah" Stars Will Be Guests Of The Evening. Excellent Vaudeville Program WELL, it's all over and oh, what a relief! Now for the fireworks and the fun. Yep, "Another Big Nite For Tattlerites" and it won't be long now. The twelve weeks contest for the honor of being crowned the Tattler's 'Queen of the Elks' Convention came to an end last Saturday nite, August 17th. Now everybody wants to know who is the fortunate girl or "Who Will Be The Tattler's New Queen?" That's the question on every one's lips and no one outside of the Tattler's executive force, will know until Sunday nite, August 25th, when the new Tattler Queen will be crowned at the Renaissance Casino and some twenty prizes presented to the other twelve girls. Then, Monday, the party will leave for Atlantic City and the Elks' Conclave. But, and it is a big but, don't forget the Tattler Coronation Party, for it sure will be a wow and how! There will be a short and sweet vaudeville program featuring some of our best vaudeville and musical comedy entertainers, excellent dance music and a $100.00 Pajama Parade. Bill Robinson, the "Ace" of entertainers will be in charge of the program and you know what that means. Bill will also give away the prizes, first, $200.00, second, $150.00, third, $100.00, fourth, $50.00 and fifth, $25.00. There will be two club prizes and fifteen additional prizes for the girls. That should certainly make everybody happy and that's one of the objects that the publishers of the Tattler had in mind. Our vaudeville program will be an exceptionally good one. In addition to Bill Robinson, who is in a class by himself when it comes to entertaining, we will have 'Putney' Dandridge, the sweet singer of ballads; Nettie Hayes, the little girl from the West with a load of "It" and some more; Bert Howell with his uke, crooning his melodies; Donald Haywood, Ebony King of the Ivories; "Billie" Wylie, the winsome little contortion dancer and a number of other big time acts. Invitations have been sent to Jazzlips Richardson and that internationally famous dancing team, Freddie and Al, now playing with the "Hot Chocolates" at the Hudson Theatre. Then we have also invited Sandy Burns and "Dusty" Fletcher along with the Halloway Sisters, Jean and Harriet all of whom are now rehearsing with Lew Leslie's "Black Birds" of 1930. As for that "Pajama Parade." oh boy. That's sure going to furnish I am writing to tell you just Tattler's big contest.

In closing I wish to thank you and the members of the entire Tattler staff for being so nice and the wonderful way in which the contest was conducted. I will be on hand to welcome you and the girls when the party arrives. Closing with best wishes, (Signed) MARGUERITE ROBERTS. Mr. Bennie Butler, c-o The Tattler, 2294 Seventh Avenue, New York, N. Y. Mr. Butler:-- the thrills. We have been wised up to a number of creations and if the information is true, Tattlerites and their friends are in for a big nite and we don't mean maybe. This "Prize Pajama Parade" is going to be a thriller and them's not merely words. Strange as it may seem, there are more girls entered in this event than men. The boys seem a bit bashful when it comes to strutting the bed-time regalia at a big party. Oh yes, they are brave enough to walk the streets in their pajamas late at nite, but out at a party in the full glare of electric lights, they hesitate. Not so with the ladies; they are only too eager to sport their good-nite clothing. All who wish can get tickets at the Tattler Office, 2294 Seventh Avenue at any time up until 10.30 at nite. The office will be open all this week to accommodate those who wish to obtain boxes, loges or tickets of admission. We also wish to warn everybody and the clubs who have boxes reserved, that these boxes must be paid for in full by or before Friday evening. August 23rd, or they will be disposed of to others wanting boxes or loges. Remember "ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE RENAISSANCE CASINO. SUNDAY NITE, AUGUST 25TH."
