By Jackie Nobile
UNDERSTANDING
“If we might look into each other’s
heart
And see the loneliness that hidden
les,
We would not dare to wait, nor stand
apart,
Smothering all friendly {mpulse till
» it dies.
If on the Koad we'd try to make a
friend
Of evéry lonely heart we chance to
meet,
The Road would hide treasure ‘round
each bend
And we would tread the way with
eager feet.”
(Now what do you say to this?
Wouldn’t you like to “own” a little
girl like this one? You would, |
know, but—there are conditions.)
“Dear Editor—Perhaps you have
a young man (non-professional) on
your list of Lonesome Hearts
whose life I may be able to com-
plete and who can make me happy.
I want someone I can love tenderly
and wholeheartedly and who will
reciprocate the same devotion to
me. He must be on-the-level
clean, ambitious, intelligent, and
have some outlook for the future.
“IT am a home girl; a great lover
of outdoor sports, music, and good
humor. My age is twenty-three;
height, five feet: am nicely propor-
tioned; have olive complexion and
chestnut hair. I am not pretty, but
said to have an asset when ap-
pearance is regarded. <As to my
qualities. character. and efficiency.
T would rather for ‘whom it may
concern’ to draw his own conclu
sions after an acquaintance.”

(Nice husbands are in demand
but like silver and gold, not easy
to obtain; however, “such as |!
have .. .”)
“While sitling here reading the
Tattler IT happened to run acoss
your I. H. column. so I thought I
would try my Iuck, to see if I
could find a nice husband.

quainted with a gentleman refined,

loving ways. not drink and a jolly
disposition.”

(Life without hope is unbear-
able. Give these four Lonely
Hearts something to hope for, even
if it’s only a tetter.)
“This is the second copy of your
Lonely Heart column I have seen
and [ have become interested in it.
“[ happen to be a young man
that’s lonely and have no friends.
At the present time I am confined
in prison. Al] that I see is gray
walls and prison bars, nothing else
but four lonely walls. I have no
one to write to me or for me to
write to. This is my first downfall
in society and I have a few more
months to stay here. Have seen
the great work that you have done
for others and I am wondering if
you would do as much for me.
“T am five ft. 3, weigh 135 lbs.

brownskin, around the age of 22-
27, as I am 28.”

“I am so lonesome, oh, so lone-
some. Please hear my plea and
send to me some nice girl, 19-20.
It makes no difference as long as
she is sweet and brownskin.
“Tam 21, light complexion. black
curly hair. five ft. 4 in. Oceupa-
tion is a chauffeur and prize
fighter when I am in the street.
Not that I amin jail all the time.
This is my first time and T hope

“Jackie, you have done noble
eesds for othe: unfortunate ones,
so please don't turn me down. I
have seen my mistakes and | want
to turn oyer a new leat and start
life anew. All TI need is a_ girl
companion that will write to me.
While others get mail. { don't.”

“Dearest Jackie—I'm communi-
cating with you for a reason which
has just occurred to me, thanks
to the Tattler. I’m getting awful
Jonesome for a companion—very
lonesome for a true pal and friend
who will not think bad of a mis-
take which recently landed me in
. ‘-eformatory. Naturally one is
in some way unfortunate. but it
seems to be pinned on me—to my
greatest sorrow has brought me a
sentence of fourteen months. Soon
to be released in fact, very soon.
although that can’t come soon
enough for me. I sure feel mighty
downhearted at thinking of what
you may think of me—in jail! This
is my first and going to be my
last, happen what may.
“Enough of my present circum-
stances and something of myself.
I'm a musician by trade and an all
around good sport; also sociable
with everyone. I'm five ft. 7 in.
tall, light complexioned, 21 years
of age, fairly good-looking, chest-
nut colored hair.
“I would like very much to meet
one whom you think best suited
for me.”
-_ * @
“I’m just one more of the many
that are lonesome. This is the
third time I have come to you for
help but they all prove fruitless,
but I trust this time won’t be in
vain.
“Keeping company with the
wrong people caused me to be de-
prived of my freedom. Will be
free Christmas. Am a musician
and poet, 30 years old. five ft. 8
in. tall, weigh 160 lbs.; light brown-
skin, neat dresser and fairly good
learning. Would like to correspond
with someone who is nice.”
x ok ®
lt wish | could write “stamped
envelope” in letters as farge as
the whole Tattler magazine in the
L. H. C. so that the readers might
remember to send them along
when they write; also “clipping.”
Many tell me they are sending
them and then promptly forget it.

(Does the young lady think her
Prince Charming will come along?
If she does, well, ... “As a man
thinketh, etc.”’)
“T hope you can do something
for lonely me. Could you find me
a pal to write and cheer me up
once in a while?
“Wave black bobbed hair, light
brownskin and weigh 145 lbs.. five
ft. 6 in. tall. Fond of reading and
enjoy all sports.
“Hope you can find me a con-
genial friend.”

(Courage is a quality that we all
have but many do not realize it.
Sometimes we have to do much
coaxing before it will make its ap-
pearance.)

enough courage to write you and
ask for help.

No charge is made for space
given a letter in the Lonesome

be made as short and interesting

What Phe “Hallelujah”
ALLELUIA, the much-aavertised Metro-Golawyn-
Mayer all talking-singing-dancing drama, directed
by the much-lauded King Vidor, is very much
over-advertised.
It is an excellent example of a good opportunity
for drama and entertainment sacrificed by inept
playsmiths on the altar of attempted verismilitude. It is
a picture consisting of a series of box office compromises
which prevent it from emerging wholly from mediocrity,
save in spots. Those who perpetrated and filmed the script
can certainly not be accused of any great dramatic in-
genuity, or more than a superficial understanding of the
material from which they essayed to mould a great
picture.
Anyone thoroughly acquainted with the life and antics
of the Negro plantation rustics and river roustabouts,
clergymen, evangelists, gamblers and proStitutes, feels
upon emerging from the theater after viewing “Hallelu-
jah” that he has been taken in by clever advertising.
Contrary to the laudatory reviews it has received, the
picture falls far short of greatness, and we venture to
say that had the players been Caucasians and the story
woven around Caucasians of the same cultural level, it
would have received secant praise from critics who are
singing its praises.
Strange to say, a large number of otherwise intelligent
Negroes have been taken in by the clever advertising and
the fact that the players are Negroes. Needless to say,
the color or race of the actors has nothing to do either
with the merits of the play-or of the acting. The com-
ments of most Negroes seem to be colored by race feeling.
Where they should be considering the picture as drama,
they are viewing it as advertising-propaganda. Praise the
Lord! Negroes are featured in an all-talking picture
playing to capacity houses! It must be good! Or had!
A large number of the Negro newspapers seem to have
bodily lifted the press agent’s boost blurbs from his
stereotyped copy and put it on their theatrical pages.
Certainly the similarity of their comments is highly sug-
gestive of such shoddy criticism. Of course such journal-
ism is not wholly to be unexpected since a large number
of our newspapermen have carried the traditions of
slavery into the editorial office. Many of them seem to
be of the opinion that Ethics is the name of a new card
game or a race horse. .-
The story of “Hallelujah” is so well known. or will soon
be so well known, that there is no need of utilizing space
narrating it here. Let us, rather, proceed to the main
points of criticism, purely from the point of view of drama.
Later on we shall discuss it from another angle.
Everywhere throughout the picture is the hand of the
white man who has observed with his eye but not with
his heart. It is a well known fact that most whites and
Negroes will have an entirely different conception of the
same event. What is tragic to one, may be comic to the
other, and vice versa. Generally speaking, the Caucasian,
particularly in the country, looks upon a person of darker
skin and Ethiopian origin as a sort of primitive child,
unwitting of his way, and a slave, alternately, to religious
ecstasy and animal passion. In a measure this is true of
the Negro because it is in a measure true of all human
beings; but the Negro, like every other person, has many
sides, both intellectual and animal.
Evidence of these familiar Nordic misconceptions is
plentiful in “Hallelujah.” For instance, the fact is adver-
tised that the Negro actors are just types picked up
casually, as if to say that any Negro anywhere is an
actor . The Aframerican is, we are told, a natural-born
actor, just as he is a natural-born singer and dancer.
Negroes themselves know this to be nonsense, but white
people do not, generally speaking, and pictures are pro-
duced for white people. In this connection, it is significant
that in none of these pictures do we find the stars adver-
tised outside of the theaters.as we find white stars adver.
tised. When they are Negroes, they’re not supposed to be
stars. ‘They’re just types!
With the aforementioned stereotype of the dark brethren
firmly fixed in what passes for their minds, it is not
strange that the white producers and directors have the
characters and extras bursting into song on every and any
occasion. One is led to believe that if a group of Negroes
had gone abroad on the Graf Zeppelin they would have
made the welkin ring with “All God’s Chillun Got Wings”
or a more modern variation on “Thow Out the Life Line.”
Those who have really studied the rustic Negroes on their
native heaths and actually shared their lives know that
their existence is not one continual round of spirituals,
work songs and clog dancing.
Largely because of these misconceptions and the finan-
Reflections on King Vidor’s All-Colored
“Master piece”
By SAMUEL I. BROOKS
cal considerations that flow therefrom, the picture im-
presses the keen observer as being altogether too slick.
The exceedingly simple plot rolls off too easily to seem to
possess the real juices of life, thus lending the feeling of
unauthenticity. As sheer entertainment—which it very
largely and obviously aspires to be—it is inferior to
“Hearts in Dixie.”
The picture is cluttered with incongruities so apparent
that one marvels at the fact that they escaped the notice
of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer experts. For example, Zeke.
while clearly less strongiy built than Hot Shot, the gam-
bler. takes a revolver away from the latter after he has
drawn it and is pointing it at the rustic. It is doubtful
whether the most ignorant Negro in Mississippi is fool-
hardy enough to do that, even if he had lost all of his crap
money. It is possible but improbable, and Adolphus Wil-
lium Ward tells us that “The action of a drama, besides
heing one and complete in itself, ought likewise to be
probable.”
Then, too, when one considers that the ignorant Zeke
suddenly displays a sufficient knowledge of the ways of
gambling to demand that Hot Spot show him his crooked
dice (the substitution of which has been undetected), one
begins to feel that he would hardly be so easily inveigled
into a crap game with a city slicker. Country people are
invariably more suspicious of gamblers, sports and wise-
guys than urbanites are.
Again, when Zeke, now an evangelist. enters a town
where a great concourse of religious Negroes is awaiting.
Chick and Hot Shot loudly ridicule him and continue
wntil Zeke gets off his horse and rushes at them. Now
this is absolutely contrary to the behavior of individuals
in a crowd, unless they are mentally unbalanced. Despite
personal prejudices, it requires the courage of a lion and
the boldness of a fool to heckle the ido] of a crowd while
yowre in that crowd. It just isn’t done, even by Missis-
sippi Negroes.
Still again. when Hot Shot seeks to restrain Chick from
attending the revival, she turns upon him and with ap-
parent ease beats him unconscious with a poker. Now
Chick is a slight girl while Hot Shot is a big, burly man.
It is possible for such a thing to happen but very im-
probable.
The wondering observer marvels that Chick leaves home
with Hot Shot after her husband (or man) Zeke comes
home from work, whereas they had all day to get away
while he was busy at the mill. Both Chick and Hot Shot
are supposed to be sharpers whose specialty is trimming
suckers, and yet they act like high school children steal-
ing away to a rendezvous in the forest.
Consider also what then happens: Hot Shot's wagon
breaks down, and Chick, who has been wounded by a
bullet from Zeke’s gun, is thrown to the ground. Hot
Shot drives wildly onward as best he can with three
wheels, and Zeke coming up kneels by Chick. She takes
about four or five minutes to die. And yet. strange to
relate. when Zeke finally leaves the body of his beloved
nnd starts hunting for Hot Shot, there stands the gentle-
man within a few paces of him! Most incredible be-
havior! Then we see Hot Shot hastening to unhitch his
horse from the broken buggy while Zeke approaches. One
immediately is puzzled to know what Hot Shot was doing
ALL COPY FOR THIS PUBLICA-
TION MUST BE IN THIS OFFICE
BY SATURDAY MORNING OR IT
WILL NOT BE RUN.
EDITOR’S NOTE.
while Chick Was dying and 4eke was Dy Her side. <i
certainly knew Zeke’s temper well enough by that tim
to have used every spare minute to his advantage. Hi
actions hardly fit the character he is portraying.
Another improbability crops up in connection with Zek
going to prison. He kills his own brother in a honk)
tonk right in the heart of town and doesn’t serve a day
for it. Indeed, he isn’t even arrested. On the othe
hand, he kills his wife (or woman) and her lover in the
depths of a swamp where some time would expire before
their recovery, and not only is arrested but is sent to
prison. Evidently he only serves a few weeks or months
for his crime because we see him returning home, twang:
ing his banjo and looking no different than he did before
serving his sentence.
Contrary to the opinion of most of the white critics
which was what one would naturally expect it to be, there
is nothing extraordinary about the acting in ‘“Hellelujah.”
It is good and that’s about the best one can say for it.
Miss Nina Mae McKinney’s performance does not meet
the requirements of the character she portrays. She IS
\WORDY and active but crude and possesses no subtlety.
After all. we do expect some subtlety in scarlet ladies,
at least in the theater. The bewhiskered Harry Gay,
who now struts around Harlem in a plug hat and cutaway
voat reminiscent of the days when minstrelsy was in
flower and with ill-concealed pleasure listens to the peans
ot praise from his flattering public, is visually a success
as a parson or rather as a burlesque of a parson. He
ought to be with Mack Sennett.
Fannie Belle de Knight is very good as Mammy and
Everett McGarrity plays the part of Spunk, the beloved
brother and son quite creditably. Victoria Spivey, how-
ever, was something of a disappointment. In justice to
her, she was probably following her lines and the direc-
tions given her. .
Daniel Haynes is a good actor but strangely enough
one does not find his Zeke convincing. This is probably
due to the fact that he was the wrong type for the part,
which obviously called for a big. hulking. country lout
type with seemingly dim intelligence. Haynes, on the
contrary is almost ascetic in appearance and fairly radiates
intelligence. He was as out of place as Zeke as Lon
Chaney would be as a choir boy, Marcus Garvey as Adonis
or Mamie Smith as Joan of Are.
The actor who was most appropriate for his part and
played it best was William Fontaine. He fairly oozed
authenticity. He is the ideal gambler and all-around
sharper. with the exceptions noted which are doubtless
the fault of the director.
All in all. “Hallelujah” is disappointing. Too much is
crowded into it. it is full of misconceptions, inconsist-
eicies and incongruities. It is just a good drama gone
wrong.
Stepping now from drama to the larger issue, some
people have stated that the picture libels the Negro. That
is untrue because it would be difficult to libel the Negro
or any other human group. All peoples have their heights
and their depths. their wisdom and their stupidity. About
the only fault a Negro can find with “Hallelufiah” is that
it lays exclusive emphasis on one side of the Negro, deal-
ing with one class of Negroes. and largely portraying the
sort of thing that the bulk of Negroes are trying to get
away from. Since it was produced by white people, how-
ever, this was to be expected. Nevertheless, the great
majority of Negroes is sick and tired of being portrayed
exclusively as semi-gorillas, wildly shouting, singing and
dancing the whole day and night through.
In closing it might be well to comment on the criticisms
hurled against the Lafayette Theater for allegedly aiding
and abetting segregation by having a premier of the pic-
ture in Harlem as well as on Broadway. Such criticisms
are nonsensical. From a business viewpoint (and that is
what the theater management must consider above all)
it was an excellent move. A large number of Negroes
were aching to see the picture and the Lafayette manage-
ment brought it where they could see it with the least
effort. Negroes went down town to the Embassy to see
the picture, and while they were segregated in that subtle
manner at which some theatrical ticket sellers are past
masters, this is but the usual procedure at that theater,
. The Lafayette Theater is first and foremost a business
concern. It did not make the picture or hire the actors;
it merely supplied a demand for it on the part of the
population by which it is surrounded. Instead of being
criticized for bringing the picture to Harlem for its
premier, the Lafayette Theater should he Righty com-
mended.

Who is now vacationing at one of the smart beaches in North Carolina. EVER since i announced to Harlem and the world that I would journey to North Carolina for a summer vacation, my sanity has been questioned. For some reason quite beyond me, I am supposed to be incapable of enjoying any form of amusement that is not sophisticated to the nth degree. And I have discovered that North Carolina has a reputation for being nothing but simple. Consequently, no one could dope out how I could be in my right mind and spend three weeks at Seabreeze. But the joke is on everybody except me. I like it so much that I am extending my three weeks to four. Now, laugh that off. I like it for many reasons that are nobody's business, however here are a few:
1. Because the Harry Chandlers are the most delightful couple I have met in ages, and their home reminds me of a Harlem apartment and their children let me kiss them as much as I please.
2. Because Bobbie Bamfield can drive from Charlotte to Seabreeze in four hours flat, and his hair curls out of this world, and he talks geechee for me.
3. Because there isn't a single bell in the whole of Russell's Hotel and Mrs. Russell lets me sleep until I wake up.
4. Because the gentlemen of North Carolina come calling on me with pistols.
5. Because Dr. Mason hasn't pronounced an R in life and Alice Mason is truly beautiful.
6. Because the Sound is so near the Ocean.
7. Because Margaret Greene is the most adorable tomboy.
8. Because all the Howe boys, Clarence, Lawrence and Wilson decided to visit their mother while I was here.
9. Because I can eat oysters in August.
10. Because all corn is not on the cob.
15. Because Grover Freeman lets me drive his roadster.
34. Because the sweetest men in the world come from North Carolina.
35. Because there is always a sea breeze at Seabreeze.
Mrs. Blanche V. Shaw of Chicago is in the city for an indefinite stay. Her many friends are making her stay enjoyable. Miss Shaw is librarian in the main library in Chicago. Because of her great contributions during the "Negro in Art Week," she has been selected as an honorary member of Chicago Art League. Miss Shaw is stopping with Mrs. W. E. Kellar, 246 L. 150th Street.

The students are wearing uniforms, and some are carrying backpacks. The teachers are standing in front of the building, holding a sign that reads "Welcome to School." The students are walking towards the entrance, and the teachers are standing at the entrance, ready to greet them.

THE INTER-STATE TATTLER ABOUT MUSICIANS Aubrey Brooks
There is a readjustment going on among the musicians, that should not cause any undue alarm, because we must realize that this old world in which we live is always under readjustment of one kind or another and during each readjustment, there must be some sufferers while others are benefited.
New York City has long been over crowded with musicians. Pictured at the place of gold, every musician who could possibly make New York his temporary stopping place has done so with the main idea of making plenty of money.
The first effect of overcrowding was noticeable when prices took tremendous drops. In some cases study engagements that paid the union scale fell below, with many applicants for the engagements.
The next noticeable sign was the sudden migration to Europe of musicians who formerly considered America a more lucrative field. The climax came, however, when mechanical inventions ousted hundreds of musicians from their positions.
Lowered prices, limited engagements, and an overcrowded field have driven many of the profession into other lines. Some will make their departure permanent; others will return; but the benefitting result will be to thin the ranks and relieve the situation.
Music as a profession is very much alive in spite of mechanical inventions. With fewer in the field, there is bound to be more work for the individual, and increased demand will effect an increase in salaries. So after all the fellows who can stick it out will find that life will be one sweet tune after another. until the next readjustment period.

SENSATION \_

14 months ff 3 months ff months, \CONTINENTS;
New York. ff Boston Philadelphia '
in My Opinion
by FRANK BYRD
Te ultimate fate of Alonzo Parham,
recently appointed to the U. S. Mili-
tary Academy, seems to be worrying
yoIne people, usually referred to as
nosies and busy-bodies, more than it
ig the person directly concerned.
A former soldier of Fort Benning,
Ga., writes: “In my camp there was a
colored captain. ‘The white officers had
nothing to do with him beyond the
barest civilities, Whenever a social
affair was held, which he was entitled
to attend, it was always regretted
that he had to be on duty at the time.
It was better for Parham if he should
resign now instead of being frozen out
sater.””
‘This writer is prompted to say “stuff
and nonsense!” or some expression even
more descriptive of contempt for all
such “cracker” advice. Had the U. S.
adapted such a fatalistic attitude in-
stead of resenting the injustice of Great
Britain’s strong arm tactics prior to
the Revolution, the probability is that
this country may have served indetin-
itely as a “land of cotton” and dumping
sround for continental tea. If that
imposes too much on the imagination
of the reader, allow me to mention
J. A. Rogers, who has accomplished
more in this writer's estimation than
anyone else in creating for the masses
au greater race consciousness and 3
fenuine appreciation of the Nexro's his-

ly accepted this theory of retirement in

Not long ago, the British Labor
Party, under the leadership of Ramsey
MacDonald, emerged in a glorious vic-
tory over the conservatives in Parlia-
ment. The Working man’s” group,
twenty-nine years ago. held only two
seats in Parliament. At this time, it
is the leading body, despite the fact
that it has met with numerous defeats
nnd continual discouragement. It has
marched on, triumphantly, ignoring in-
sult and fighting opposition.
Uniess the American Negro follows
this example, the present position in
society will undoubtedly become sta-
tionary, “Hokom,”" some may say. But
it cannot be denied that a number of
Hiarlemites are imbued with that
“Stepin Fetchit™ capacity of dreamy
case and uninterrupted sleep that would
eventually spell non-recognition due to
unimportant production.
Congressman DePriest hax set an ad-
mirable precedent. not only by his
nomination of these young men, but
also by his immediate announcement
te nominate others in the places of
those failing to qualify.

Notes of Railroad Men
HERE we are at last, "The Railroad Boys," introduced into one of the world's greatest colored papers, "THE TATTLER."
A railroad man travels to practically all parts of the country, seeing and hearing lots of things that would be of great interest to the outside world. Why should we keep it to ourselves, when it might be of benefit to someone else. Not on your life. We expect to let the country know what we are doing, as well as us knowing what part of the country is doing.
I, the Editor's Agency, consider this a wonderful pleasure as well as an opportunity in gathering together the news of the Railroad Boys and having it published to all parts of the world. I hope that any news of any particulars, uprising among the R. R. boys, will kindly be sent into me for further publishing.
LET THE WORLD KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING.

Joe Wallcott, Belfield Walcott, Gans, Jamaica Kid, Larry Estridg teau, Leo Johnson, Ansell Bell, Roleaux Saguero, Clem Johnson, B Jimmy Brown, Kid Bates, and Your
form a partial list of the type of two fisted gentry that come to these shores from the West Indies in search of fame and fortune inside the roped arena. Contrary to general opinion, Sam Langford and George Dixon were not West Indians, both hailing from bleak Nova Scotia; Langford from the town of Weymouth, and the beloved "Little Chocolate" from Halifax. Jackson (never a champion)—was perhaps the greatest heavyweight that ever lived, only the marvelous Jack Johnson remaining to dispute the issue with him in the opinion of this writer.
He had range, height, sufficient weight, and the most magnificent build imaginable. For want of another word, "Misfortune" fits the case of this gallant West Indian superman. Veteran ring followers still point with pride to Peter Jackson when they are holding up a model for aspiring young heavyweights of the day to copy. Jackson developed a fighting technique that none of his contemporaries or successors ever seemed able to improve upon to a larger or lesser degree. He was a two-fisted fighter who combined a deadly punch with ringcraft and resourcefulness to a bewildering degree. He was a master boxer and a staggering hitter. As an instructor he bequeathed some notable pupils to fistiana, among them the great "BOB FITZSIMMONS" Jim Hall, Starlight, and Frank Slavin.

Fitz's Great Tribute
```markdown
```
Fitz paid a hight tribute to Jackson when asked to fight him after his arrival in this country, by stating, "Peter Jackson is the greatest fighter that ever breathed. He's the daddy of them all, and for that reason and no other,—I don't care to meet him." Fitzsimmons, contrary to the opinion of most present day sport writers—Black and White—knew in his heart and soul that the brilliant West Indian fighter was the better man of the two, and possessed the rare courage to say so in print that will never die as long as boxing is discussed and written.
We sometimes feel like telling most of the sport scribes to go "to school," when it comes to telling the truth about correct sayings and opinions of fighters of the past half century and less. Most of them revel in dishing out what they term "Human Interest" sidelights of a scrap that wouldn't be worth a dime a dozen,—but quite conveniently never attempt the type of research writing that a W. W. Naughton, or a "TAD" (peace to his ashes), was noted for—it makes us laugh right up our sleeves ever and anon. It is our contention and has been for years, that it is not as easy to fool the reading public as most of us writers think it is—within their own minds they decide your ability and secretly enjoy many a laugh at your egotistic expense.
Defeated English Champ
ON November 30th, 1890, Jackson won a title, even if it didn't happen to be the one he always thirsted for throughout his lifetime. He knocked out Jem Smith, champion of the British Kingdom,
ALVIN J. MOSES
at the exclusive Pelican Club, in two rounds. "Thisney," famous chronicler of sporting events in England, claimed that Jackson was born on the Island of Porto Rico, July 3rd, 1861. But nearly five hundred other writers agree with Thisney that the giant colored wonderman was not an Australian, but differ in the birthplace as we do, and give it as St. Croix. However there is very little dispute on the score of his color and ability.
At the age of sixteen, Peter's family moved to Australia, where the powerful lad took to the sea and worked along the various waterfronts of the Antipodes. It was while employed as a watchman of several buildings in Sydney, Australia, that Jackson made the acquaintance of Larry Foley,—former heavyweight champion of Australia. The latter, who was running a boxing school, evinced quite a bit of interest in Peter, finally giving him him some work to do in his gymnasium and persuading him to give up the watchman position. Like a duck to the water, did Jackson take to all branches of athletics. Big and strong beyond his age, he took great delight in boxing—but he was also one of the finest oarsmen and swimmers that Australians had seen up to that time.
Pleases Larry Foley
COMMENCING his active ring career in 1882. Jackson won great admiration from his teacher and instructor, Larry Foley, by the easy manner in which he polished off Jack Hayes. Immediately after the scrap Foley engaged Jackson as his assistant. After his mill with Hayes, the gigantic West Indian defeated Mick Dooley. Hayes for a second time, and Sam Britton.
Even at such a stage of his development, Jackson was a mighty puncher. In the case of Britton, he rocked him to sleep with a righthander under the heart in twenty seconds. His reputation was built so quickly that Jock Burke, "The Irish Boy," refused to meet Peter in answer to the country wide demand of his admirers.
Jackson's First Defeat
Then came the first setback to the young man who was destined to write his name deep into the archives of gloved fighting. In 1884 he tackled a brawny blacksmith by the name of Bill Farnum at Melbourne, Australia.
This Farnum was one of the most powerful men that ever laced on a glove, and it was the general belief that Peter underestimated the calibre of this foeman. In a moment of carelessness, Jackson was dealt a smashing blow to the solar plexus and lost in three rounds. A few months later the two were rematched, and the immature Jackson fought six rounds to a draw with the redoubtable blacksmith. In defeating Tom Lees two years later, Jackson won the championship of Australia—a land that had learned to love him as it has few fighters of any color before or since. The contest was for one thousand dollars a side and lasted thirty rounds. The record books show no battles for Jackson throughout all of 1887, but the following year he commenced his up-

Present day readers must not confuse the George Godfrey of Leiperville, Pennsylvania, who is snapping at the heels of heavyweight contenders—with nary a chance of getting "His Shot"—with the other great colored fighter by the same name who faced the immortal Peter Jackson on August 24th, 1888 before a packed house at the California Athletic Club of San Francisco.

The great difference in size between Jackson and Godfrey was apparent as the men entered the ring. Like in the case of Harry Wills and Kid Norfolk in their farcial exhibition at Madison Square Garden some years ago, Jackson outweighed the game Godfrey by more than thirty pounds, and had a six-inch margin in height, and many inches in reach.
Both men opened the fight with a rush that they maintained throughout the round. The only knockdown of the fight that lasted for nineteen rounds, came in the second canto. Jackson delivered a powerful short uppercut coming out of a clinch, and Godfrey hit the floor with a thud that was plainly audible. In the first ten rounds Jackson gained a decided advantage,—but Godfrey made him work for it. In the final three rounds the punishment that the Bostonian received was terrible. Peter rushed him around the ring forcing him against the ropes raining mighty blows upon him but was unable to beat him to the resined ring canvas. Godfrey's lips were badly swollen and lacerated, and his nose bled as if every vein therein was broken from the impact of the giant West Indian's hard smashes to head and heart, at which style of milling he was incomparable, it was said. Sensing that the end was not far off, Godfrey's seconds mercifully tossed in the sponge acknowledging defeat, though Godfrey was all for continuing on the one sided affray. Few boxers
lived a more regular life than this same Godfrey if we may be permitted to digress for a moment here. On August 18th, 1901, Godfrey was told that he had only a few hours more to live. Characteristic of his gameness displayed in countless ring battles, he asked to be removed from his bed and stood on his feet once more before he passed away. His request was granted and with one mighty effort he stood erect,—then fell back on his bed unconscious, dying a few minutes later. This was the indomitable courage Peter Jackson attempted to conquer that memorable August afternoon that oldtimers will never tire of rehashing, and present day readers will eternally marvel over when contrasting

Great Fight with Corbett
Returning to America after whipping Jem Smith for the title of England in '90, Jackson met James J. Corbett in their often discussed sixty-one round battle at the California A. C. on May 21st, 1891. Corbett, at the time, was not the champion heavyweight, but was a very likely contender. It was in the following year that as a result of this defeat of John L. Sullivan, that Corbett grasped the laurels.
A detailed description of the sixty-one rounds would be long and contain much repetition. In the first and last few, however, there was typical and representative action of the whole fight. Corbett opened proceedings by trying to place his famous left body jab. Corbett clinched immediately after and Jackson tried to break away. Corbett made a left swing but failed to get in. Jackson planted a solid straight, right hander under the heart. At the opening of the second round, Corbett jumped to the center of the ring, but it was plain to see that his heart had not fully recovered from the jolt it had just received, and he jumped away again. Peter was after him like a cat after a mouse.
It was remarkable to recount that all throughout this battle Jackson carried on despite a badly swollen ankle that he had injured in training a few days prior to the fight. Round Fifty found Corbett badly used up and much the weaker of the two, his hands being almost useless at this stage of the titanic struggle. All hope for victory for either contestant vanished, when in the sixtieth Jackson seemed to flounder.
THE INTER-STATE TATTLER
From all appearances the fight would have to be called a draw. Such a decision, however, would deprive both men of the $10 000 stakes which were up, and which were to be given only in the event that the men fought to a finish. They faced each other for the sixty-first round.
Some of Corbett's friends who predicted that he had no chance to win, shouted, "Make it a draw," with the hope that such a decision would at least save their money. After careful consideration referee Cook announced the result "No Contest"—it being the only possible just decision. Jackson challenged John L. Sullivan to no avail, and his heart was broken when the California Boxing Law was repealed due to the killing of a boxer in a private fight after Sullivan had accepted a twenty thousand dollar purse from the California A. C. During the year that Corbett became Heavyweight Champion of the World, Jackson engaged in one of his greatest battles, stopping Frank Slavin in ten of the hardest sounds in history.
West Indians need not be ashamed of their ring contributions.
A. and T. Schedule
Greensboro, N. C.-Coach Byarm and his revamped North Carolina A. and T. team will face one of the toughest schedules in the history of the institution. Already the followers of the autumn sport are speculating in the chances of the local gridders. The lid of the 1929 grid will be lifted Sept. 28, when the great wonder machine from Bluefield, W. Va., will come out of the mountains of their native state and journey to the fair Southland to lock horns with the Aggies in the Memorial stadium. The West Virginians will come with a record even more impressive than the famous Tuskegee aggregation. Succeeding themselves last year as the national champions, they will arrive fully expectant of defeating the Aggies.
On Armistice Day A. & T. will play the 1928 C. I. A. A. champs in Norfolk. The Hampton iron men have practically the same aggregation. This is by no means encouraging to Coach Byarm and his valiant sons.
N. C. Webster, business manager of athletics, releases the following schedule: Sept. 28. Bluefield at Greensboro, N. C.; Oct. 5. Tuskegee at Tuskegee, Ala.; Oct 12. Shaw at Raleigh, N. C.; Oct 19.

The seats of this cabaret sell for $1.00 and $1.50 ordinarily but they were given free, the people in charge resting assured they would be no trouble and advertise probably . Then the show began—and the entertainers couldn't entertain. Threats were made to stop the show because of intolerable noises, a couple were dragged out stiff drunk, one broke a couple of dishes with a whiskey bottle and other things. My! My! Is this society? Is this what college does? Is this the way the people in those exclusive organizations called fraternities act? Everybody seemingly wants to get away from restrictions of society and just feel free some times, but I can't conceive of a thing happening like this. I feel like raving—but I'll stop, but here's hoping I'll never have to witness an affair of this kind again. I hope it never happens again, but if so, may I never be there.

Whiten Y
Like This...
Or Amazing Trea
NOW you can have the joy of a smooth, light, lovely skin—now you can whiten your skin ten shades in ten seconds—or amazing new treatment costs you nothing! And at the same time it banishes gloss and shine for hours—holds face powder all day long — conceals freckles and skin blemishes—heals and soothes skin irritations.
Never before was there a skin whitener like this. It is not a bleach, not a liquid powder, but an entirely new and different French type creme. You just spread it on face, neck, hands and arms. Rub it in like vanishing creme. Instantly the appearance of the skin is lightened. Immediately all shine and gloss vanish. Marvelous for evening wear—makes arms and shoulders ivory-white—will not soil or mark clothes.
Men say this new discovery is just the thing to use after shaving—it removes the oily shine, and gives a refined light tone.
This new discovery is called Fan Tan Whitening Creme. Test it at
