What Inducements Do Chain Stores Offer Us? never in one terminated to pie even it them. difficult about have only to as the Great some sense of e 6 years old stration should member. g Transferred: ESE NOW! One of the most familiar sights in Harlem, the so-called metropolis of the New Negro, is the spectacle of white clerks serving black customers in the various commercial establishments in the district. All of these business establishments are eager for Negro trade and go to great lengths to solicit it, but they refuse to give a Negro any employment except in the capacity of a minor clerk, who, in the majority of instances, combines the duties of running errands and sweeping up, with his clerkship. There is, of course, no objection to white clerks waiting on black customers, even in Harlem, but the point is here raised that if Negroes are good enough to be served in these stores, they are good enough to serve in these stores. Since most of the companies operating stores in the Harlem district do not employ Negroes in their stores elsewhere in New York City, it is only right that they should at least not discriminate against Negroes in the Negro district. As it is, these companies carry millions of dollars a year out of Harlem and almost none of that money ever finds its way into the hands of Negroes. Such a condition would cry for change even if there were plenty of employment for Negroes, but it is well known that even at the peak of prosperity the Negro is seriously handicapped in finding work and getting a proper wage for that which he gets. Many young Negroes just out of grammar and high schools are quite capable of serving as clerks and managers in the stores of Harlem, and they would appreciate working close to where they live, but they find it as hard to get such positions as if Harlem were a district solely populated by white people. 24 Stores—10 Negro Employes Let us take the specific case of The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company. This great international food trust has stores on every principal thoroughfare in Harlem. It is difficult to walk 1,000 feet in any direction without running into one of the familiar red-front stores. In the section from 125th to 155th Street and from St. Nicholas Avenue to Fifth Avenue, this company has 24 stores. In these 24 stores there are employed but TEN Negro clerks. The majority of these TEN Negro clerks are nothing more than porters and delivery boys; some of them doubtless called in only during the busy hours. The A. & P. Company, considering trade to be pretty good over on Fifth Avenue where thousands of Negroes live, has long had a store at number 2234. This store has not a single Negro employee! Over on Lenox Avenue, that internationally famous thoroughfare populated by more thousands of Negroes of all varieties, the A. & P. Company operates NINF2 stores between 125th and 145th Street. One would suppose that at least on this avenue the company would have all of its stores managed by Negroes. But such, sad to say, is not the case. At the stores located at Numbers 651, 582, 470, 366 and 338, there is one Negro employee. In no case is a Negro in charge of the store. Worse, at the stores operated at Numbers 529, 409, 309 and 540, there are not only no Negro managers but no Negro employees at all! Nine flourishing stores with but five Negro employees! Think that over! Children who will be 6 years old three months after registration should be entered in IA in September. If Your Child Is being Transferred: 1. Go to old school for transfer. 2. Go to new school for registration during early registration days. If Your Child Is Entering School for the First Time, Bring: 1. Birth Certificate (or other evidence to establish age). 2. Vaccination Certificate; evidence of successful vaccination. 3. Physical Examination Certificate furnished by your own doctor. Poor Vision Defective Hearing Bad Teeth—Obstructed Nasal Passages; any or all of these things will under your boy or girl. TAKE CARE OF THESE NOW! ```markdown ``` OUR PLANK Increased pay for Patrolmen and Firemen Greater consideration in general for these Public Guardians. Be Fair To Your Child Get Ready Now For Early Registration September 4th, 5th and 6th are early registration days for school this year. Enter your child before the first day of school so that he or she may get the full benefit of a complete school year. Entry after school begins means delay to your child, lack of instruction, less happiness, and a harder time finding himself. Children may be registered in kindergarten between 4 and 6 years of age as long as there is room. Children going from kindergarten into 1A do not need to be registered. The Interstate Jattler 1. The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. BY SAMUEL L. BROOKS Coming to Seventh Avenue, the boulevard de zone of Aframerien, the center of everything in Harlem, we find that the A. & P. Company has established SWVEN of its stores. You will seek in vain for a Negro manager in any of them. In the SWVEN stores, located respectively at Numbers 2554, 2465, 2488, 2469, 2441, 2209 and 2071. there are to be found but YOUTH Negro employees. All of them are minor clerks or grand pairs. The situation grows worse when you walk over to 22nd Avenue. This is another great artery of Harlem fairly leeming with Negroes. The A. & P. Company has located six of its stores on this avenue because business is good. These stores are located at Numbers 2234, 2524, 2622, 2711, 2306 and 2439. Not a single Negro manager is to be seen in any of these stores. Indeed, there is not a single Negro employee in any of them except the one located at 230 2439. Another A. & P. store, around the corner from 230 Avenue at 123 Edgecombe Avenue, has only white employees. We do not know how much these 1925 Negro stores in the 24 A. & P. stores receive. Probably around $15 a week, but let us be charitable and say $20. Based on that assumption, the Negro group is getting but $200 a week or little more than $10,000 a year out of this company. We are fairly safe in estimating the average receipts of each of these stores at $100 a day. Thus for the average business month each of these stores will take in $2,600. On this basis, then the monthly receipt will be for the 24 stores. $62,400; the average monthly intake $748,000. Since most of the property occupied by these stores is also owned by white people we can begin on the entire receipts of $748,000 minus $10,000 taxes for our and boys Among the prominent race members throughout the country who adorn our cover this week, are many well known New Yorkers. In the center is EVELYN ELLIS, WALTER RICHARDSON and wife, the charming MRS. JOHNNY HUDGINS, and most assuredly you know who the little Sportswoman in riding habit is?

All Going Out; Nothing Coming In On the Cover: HARLEM'S DUTY Demand from Chain Stores and other Trusts who exploit us - equal patronage unreservedly. GERALDYN DISMOND, Managing Editor. N. Y. Phone: Edgecombe 6681. Entered as second per year. Vol. V. No. 36. Friday, Sept. 6, 1929 If the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company has the tenacity to maintain that Harlem Negroes are incapable of holding down jobs as clerks and managers in their stores, we have but to call their attention to the Danbai National Bank, a stone's throw from one of their stores, which is almost completely staffed by Negroes who are doing work requiring greater mental capacity than grocery store clerking. We can also point to the many business companies in Harlem successfully owned and operated by local business or grocery stores, hospitals, plumbing shops, printing shops, drug stores, funeral parlors, newspapers, hospitals, refreshment parlors and so on. A similar evidence that the Degree of Harlem are capable of doing any work the A & P Company has at its disposal. In spite of all this, however, this big food was seems to be intent on perpetuating the traditions of slavery. It evidently believes that there is something incongruous about a Negro ringing up sales on a cash register or being in charge of a store. It seems as though it is termined to save all of the well paid jobs for white people even if it has to go miles out of the district to get them. Use Your Economic Ballot If the great company doesn't want to provide a prospect of Harlem a fair chance to make a living in the store located in the Negro district, it ought to close them up. And if it continues its policy of color discrimination in the selection of employees the Negroes of Harlem ought to stop patronizing them. The power of the boycott is great and the Negroes of Harlem need to learn how to use it. There is nothing difficult about it—a mere child can understand. Negroes have only to cease trading at these stores until such as the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company learn some sense of justice and fairness. At a group we need to learn more about the economy in this matter; we already know about the political battle. This matter we can use but once a year at the corner we carry every day. If we do not choose to cast our economic interest the Almighty Dollar—for the successful operation of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company's business, they will become losing propositions and will have to be closed. And it would be worth noting that the proposed commission of Hon. Robert T. Moore, the Chairman of the Tea Company, may be the first to participate in the discussion of closing the company. If the Great Atlantic and Pacific Trade Groups work together in building up the goodwill of the people good it would place men of the respective Trade Groups of each and every one of its states. But it does not continue to spend money and take account nothing in return, just to bring and bring it to present policy.

Provincials who take annual confabs so seriously, are inherently afraid of the metropolitan Harlem, over-run, as they are told, with confidence men, racketeer, and two-gun men. The more satisfactory arrangement is to convene in a neighboring municipality and to pay Gotham flying trips before and after. Almost as many Elks have been recognized in the byways of Uptown New York as were seen on the Boardwalks, last week.

If there was anything going or, we failed to know anything about it. But we do know that:— Mrs. Mason Bryant, one of Rochester's leading business women, stopped a short while in New York, after having attended the Convention in Atlantic City. She attended the Al Singer-Kid Chocolate fight, then returned home. On Thursday evening, Mr. Edwin Smalls', proprietor of Smalls' Paradise, returned from Saratoga. Miss Grace Giles, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Clark motored to Saratoga and Lake George with Mr. and Mrs. William Har- rell as their guests, and report having a wonderful time.

Robinson of Newport News, Virginia, who were the guests of Dr. Alma M. Haskins of 2424 Seventh Avenue. Miss Cullins is the cashier of the Mosaic Templars of America, a strong organization, fraternal in scope, with headquarters in Little Rock and Miss Pitts is the efficient secretary in the Federal agricultural department of that state. They were widely entertained while here, motoring with James Egert Allen and D. E. Yancey to Atlantic City for the Elks' parade, attending the picnic of the medical association at Shady Rest, Westfield, N. J., and the recipient of several parties given in their honor by Dr. Haskins, Misses Beatrice Lyons and Susan Stitt and Mrs. Flossie Hillard. Mrs. Robinson is a teacher in the public schools of Newport News and her husband is a prominent fraternal citizen being a past exalted ruler of the Elks of his city. --- Among the New Yorkers seen at Saratoga Springs during the closing days of the races were Mrs. Gertrude Martin, Miss Helen Branchcombe, Dr. Alma M. Haskins and James Egert Allen who also included Albany, Glen Falls and Lake George on their motor trip.

"A New Mone' Shop" The Theatre LINCOLN THEATRE 185TH STREET EAST OF LRNOX AV THIS WEEK'S GREAT SHOW CHARLIE DAVIS' MUSICAL COMEDY HIT Harlem Happenings WITH A CAST OF 40 Also GEORGE O'BRIEN in "MASKED EMOTIONS" NEXT WEEK—BEGINNING MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 LEW CRAWFORD AND TED BLACKMON present "SHOW STOPPERS" with THE MIDNIGHT STEPPERS and A CAST OF 40 Also A BIG PHOTOPLAY PROGRAM At The Lafayette "Hallelujah," the sensational, spectacular, thrilling and whatnot all-colored talkie-photo play, has but one more week at the Lafayette Theatre, the engagement terminating this Sunday night, September 8th, after a short run of but three weeks. King Vidor's latest production has aroused no little comment, much of which is unfavorable to the illustrious producer. But I don't feel that the short run of the picture-story at the local house, is due to the adverse criticism or attacks made on the screen story. I am holding no brief for King Vidor nor am I attacking him at this time. I am not in a position to take a stand one way or the other, not having seen the production as yet. But this Thursday evening I'll attend the showing of the picture and then give my candid opinion of it. Last week one of our feature writers. a Mr. Samuel I. Brooks, took exception to certain phases and is to elaborate on his article this week. His first article has aroused considerable discussion or rather, added to it. All so well and good. Mr. Brooks is a gifted writer, one of our best and knows a good deal about the theatre. He has the courage of his convictions and writes fearlessly. Yet he and I may see things in a different light. For instance, Mr. Brooks says: "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 "Hallelujah" is that it lays exclusive emphasis on one side of the Negro, dealing with one class of Negroes, and largely portraying the sort of thing that the bulk of Negroes are trying to get away from." I don't agree with Mr. Brooks on it being "Difficult to libel the Negro" or perhaps it were better to say, discredit the Negro. It can, has and will continue to be done until the Negro takes steps to stop it as did the Jew. Incidently, when informed about the article, I had hoped that Mr. Brooks was writing of the "Larger Issue" involved. This I believe he will do this week and his article will be read with a world of interest by me if no one else. Still, regardless of what the picture portrays, it will mean a great deal to the Aframericans in more ways than one. I feel that it's the fore-runner of the Negro Actor's rightful recognition and the recognition of his Race. It has focused attention on the colored people such as has nothing else during the past twenty years. And we can certainly profit by attention at this time. Next week I will give my opinion of the story, after seeing the production this Thursday evening. At The Alhambra The- Alhambra Theatre's new three-in-one program play for this week drew a capacity crowd and an enthusiastic one. The first nighters just raved over Miss Clara Smith and how. I'll admit that the Clara is a clever entertainer and blues chirper extraordinary. But I certainly do object to her chin-music in reference to the evilness of colored women. That part Miss Smith can well afford to omit. She's good without the vulgarity. That's T. O. B. A. stuff and while it will continue to produce a laugh even here, it's certainly not to the credit of the entertainer nor her audience Edna Young as a songbird has a wonderful pair of pipe-stems which she can use exceedingly well. Stick to dancing and dramatic bits. Miss Young. Never no singing. And the same goes for Kitty Arblanche. Yet Kitty knows her onions and can chatter even if she can't chirp. She's good in that bit with Jimmy Thomas, Sam Cross and the comedians, Swan and Lee. Incidently, these comedians are about as clean a team of fun-makers as it has been my good fortune to see in action. There's very little smut and what little there is, is rather clean. These boys are good. Also Amanda Randolph gets her weekly ovation and how. It seems that Alhambrans never tire of this pleasing entertainer. As for that Alhambra chorus aggregation, hot-dog. Gee boy but they're the kandy'and with a great big capital "K" if you please. The drama? Oh yes. well there's not much to be said of this week's offering. Personally I don't think much of it. It's a weak. flimsy or rather hazy story and the acting or action somewhat below the standard of Alhambra dramatic work Bessie Wrightson in an old woman character is seen to best advantage. Josephine Campbell does exceedingly well as the injured girl. Sam Cross as the villian, looks and plays the part and Edna Harris, as the heroine, in love with Teddy Blackmon, is at her best. At The Lincoln The Lincoln Theatre's program opened to a full house last Monday and the entertainers were all given nice ovations by an appreciative audience. The cast, one of the best presented here in some time, worked hard and long to please the audience. Emmette Anthony and Joe Byrd furnished the comedy and if you don't know these two fun-makers, you owe it to yourself to visit the Lincoln this week and see 'em in action. These boys are funny; Emmette is funny even off the stage. But when he starts to work under cork, you're not going to be blue very long. He'd sure make a THE MAYOR FRANKYE WATTS, whose melodious voice will again thrill Tattler Radio Hour listeners. brass monkey laugh. With Joe Byrd, he teams remarkably well and the combination gets many a laugh. Edith Simms Roscoe (Red) Simmons, Eva Metcalf, George Cooper, Jr., Roland Holder and little Nina Hunter all contribute to the pleasing program. The team of Cooper and Hunter kick in with some pretty dancing, witty chatter and fair singing. Roscoe Red Simmons and Roland Holder both registered well with the Monday audience. Then there's that aggregation of dancing damsels twelve in number and a warm set of hoofers.

At the Odeon Northern Harlem's own neighborhood movie, the Odeon Theatre, which is located on 145th Street near Eighth Avenue, will have an unusually fine screen program for this Saturday, Sunday and Monday, September 7.8 and 9. Two features are scheduled for showing: "Brothers" with Barbara Bedford, Cornelius Keefe and Arthur Rankin, and Tim McCoy in his latest action thriller, "The Desert Rider." "Brothers" is a very fine story of love, courage and devotion. Here is the situation: A murdered man—two suspects in the hands of the police, each trying to prove the other the killer. Suddenly a name is mentioned. Each realizes he is facing his own brother, and each tries to confess to the crime. It is an absorbing drama of a man's sacrifice to keep a promise made as a boy to his dying mother. Braving the terrific heat of the heart of the Mojave desert and the possibility of a cyclonic sand storm which often sweeps the wasteland of that country, were just part of the daring displayed by the motion picture unit which filmed "The Desert Rider," Tim McCoy's latest. At The Douglas Making the most forward step yet made in the new art of talking and sound pictures, "Alibi," United Artist's all dialogue underworld thriller, is coming to the New Douglas Theatre Saturday, September 7th and will remain until Wednesday, September 11th. No motion picture in recent years has aroused as much enthusiasm from audiences as "Alibi" for it gives an entirely new understanding of sound film methods, offers the most astounding plot of any underworld story, and presents the greatest array of stage favorites ever assembled in one production. An entire city thrown into terror by a ruthless killer who shoots policemen on sight—a beautiful girl, daughter of a police official, in love with the murderer, believing him to be innocent—a young detective, also in love with the girl, leading the man hunt and trying to keep his sweetheart's name from being dragged into the affair—at last, after a quest that leads into strange haunts of the metropolitan underworld, the strange triangle ends in a blaze of bullets. With "Underworld" it seemed that these two, star and director, achieved the greatest things possible on the screen, but in "Thunderbolt" which comes to the Roosevelt's audible screen on Saturday. Sunday and Monday, Sept. 7. 8 and 9, the miracle workers have perfected a new and greater picture of life and love outside the Law. No stronger drama has ever been conceived; no greater emotional climax ever screened than Von Sternberg and Bancroft have brought forth in "Thunderbolt." Opening in the intriguing atmosphere of colored Harlem, where Bancroft as a fearful death dealer sways the lives and destinies of hundreds of human beings, its swings to the awe-inspiring setting of Sing Sing's Death Row, where the final exciting climaxes in this most exciting drama are enacted. --- Lieut.

One-third of the feature will be devoted to a special color process developed and patented by a German concern abroad.

But I'm ever so tired and will have to steal away again and find some secret, snooky spot to rest my weary mind and body. Gee, I feel like I've been in one of the Howard-Lincoln Football Classics with a gang of Jazz Byrds having galloped over me in iron shod brogans. Yep; I've got that morning after the nite befo' feelin' and how. And please remember that I don't drink anything with a kick of any sort. PETER B. Huh; knew somebody would guess it. Sure, I've been to the Elks' Convention in Atlantic City. Right you are, bo; sure did have a gang of gals with me. They happened to be our winners in the "Convention Queen" popularity contest. Oh boy and I wish I was able to tell of the exacting duties imposed upon me by my publica- Bennie Butler tion. Nexer again; that is, if Elizabeth Elzy is to be one of the party. That gal can think of more devilment in a minute than old man Peck's Bad Boy, Hal Roach's Gang and Huckleberry Finn put together in a week. She's trickier than a Missouri mule or Sir Renard, the fox. My party or the Tattler's "Convention Party" numbering twelve, arrived in Atlantic City Tuesday noon and after a light lunch, went out to review the parade. We had a reserved section, on the curbstone, and managed to suffer through the four-hour march of the gaily marching Elk army. Then we managed to get a couple of cars and motored out to Mrs. Bertha Tyson's Cottage in Pleasantville where we had reservations. Supper of course was in order and after that, my little Amazonian beauties climbed upstairs to bed. Wednesday morning we were up bright and early and after breakfast, headed for the beach. Well, sir, you should have seen the girls in their nifty bathing suits. My, but they looked ready. There was little Christola Williams, Mildred Pinder, Harriet Morris, Elizabeth Elzy, Diana Barrett and Margaret Robinson. And dija ever see such a wonderful bevy of sea-nymphs. Gee but old Father Neptune was proud of his bronze daughters. How those babies could swim. Look'a there boy! see that Christola divin', my! my! And lookit little Harriet Morris chasin' that-a-big whale right back out in the ocean. As for Margaret, boy! that gal sat right down in old Father Neptune's lap and and and said; "Here I is papa." Mildred read her book while floating but the Diana and the Elzy had to do a mean bit of flirting. Thursday was the night of the big dance but inasmuch as it was two fifty per head, we decided it was cheaper to cabaret and we did. But first we motored to town in the afternoon and went window shopping. We saw most of what was worth seeing and then paid a visit to Miss Thomasina Walker, the Tattler's Atlantic City representative who was ill. Then Miss Walker's friend, who like Miss Walker had been real nice to us, drove us back out of Pleasantville and we had supper. About eleven o'clock we again headed for the "World's playground" and the equally famous Paradise. Make believe the Paradise don't know how to entertain? Buddy, we had the time of our lives. Got to hand it to the Paradise managers; they sure are royal and regular. But that Elzy just wouldn't behave. Whatter gal, whatter gal I'll swear. Well, on behalf of the Tattler, the girls and myself, I wish to publicly thank Mrs. Tyson, who fed us exceedingly well and made things homelike and pleasant. She has a very attractive retreat and I would love to spend another week out there but I'm afraid I would not want to leave. She's a darling, even if she did put weight on me, and we all fell in love with her. Friday we again went promenading here and there, finally ending up in a farewell visit to Miss Walker prior to catching the 5:50 for New York. But two of the girls left the party at the station. Little Harriet Morris tarried a while longer in Atlantic Ciy with her sister on Delaware Avenue and Diana Barrett took an earlier train for Philadelphia to visit her brother. But Elizabeth Elzy, ye gods and cat-o-nine-tails, that gal worries me even now in my sleep. March was never wilder and I don't mean maybe. LEARN TAPPING LEARN TO DANCE STAGE AND SOCIAL DANCES PROF.

NEW YORK CITY --- Fall Announcement ANOTHER TAILORING SEASON IS IN SIGHT. FOR MANY WEEKS, I HAVE BEEN BUSILY PREPARING FOR IT, AND I TAKE GREAT PLEASURE IN ANNOUNCING MY NEW FALL AND WINTER SAMPLES ARE NOW ON DISPLAY. LADIES AS WELL AS GENTS WILL BECOME CLOTHES CONSCIOUS UPON SEEING THEM. TUESDAY, August 24, was a great day for all New York bands belonging to the Elks. The very noticeable fact about these bands was that they were much larger than in former years. It seems as if every band in Elkdom is striving to have a large representative number in their ranks. The New York section proved to be very strong not only in number but playing ability. There seems to have been a new spirit put into the Imperial and Manhattan bands, because we have never heard them play better. We must congratulate Mr. Finley of the Henry Lincoln Johnson aggregation for getting together such a splendid band. This is the organization to be watched. Of course Monarch Band was there and as usual, was well received. It will be a long time before the other bands shall have reached Monarch's present position. We do not base this assertion on playing ability because we know that in each of the other bands there are some very fine musicians, but Lt. Simpson has been experimenting with Monarch Band for many years and his experiences now stand him in a position to ably handle his band. The nearest to Monarch in having complete control is the Imperial Band. We understand that Mr. Redmond who is the director emphatically made it plain to the lodge, that he must have free reins to handle his own band. We do not know much about the Manhattan Band, but if Mr. Hardy has not complete control at present, we feel confident that he eventually shall. He has a personality that reaches out to the hardest boiled member. He seems to know what he is doing, believes in hard work to attain proficiency and has the good will and confidence of his men. In conclusion we mention the splendid showing and playing of the O. V. Cato Band of Philadelphia, the smartly dressed Lighthouse Lodge band of Atlantic City. the Washington and Chicago bands.

Kelley to Head Delany Campaign Committee Announcement was made Monday afternoon that William M. Kelley, editor of The New York Amsterdam News, has agreed to manage the campaign of Hubert T. Delany for Congress from the Twenty-first Congressional District of New York. "To my mind," Mr. Kelley wrote Mr. Delany in accepting the offer, "the success of your campaign depends, primarily, upon increasing the number of Negro voters in Harlem by about 10,000," which is approximately the number by which E. A. Johnson, also a Republican, lost to the late Royal H. Weller, white Democrat, last year. He also stated in an interview yesterday that there are several times that number of eligible Negro citizens not registered in the districts affected. Mr. Delany, who is an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, is the third candidate the Republicans have designated for Congress from the Twenty-first district, and both former candidates were defeated at the polls mainly through the failure of eligible Negroes to register and vote. "It's about time," Mr. Kelley said, "for the Negro voters to demonstrate to the Republican party that they are serious in their desire to see a Negro elected to Congress from New York." It was also stated in the letter of acceptance that The Amtserdam News would continue its independent political policy. "Much as I desire to assist in the election of a Negro to Congress could not accept the place if I felt that my acceptance would, in any way, comfrom New York," the editor wrote, "I promise the political independence of the paper I serve." Campaign headquarters are expected to be opened within the next few days. WILLIAM H. JACKSON and SYRA CASEE. N.

HARLEM - NIGHT-LIFE Elite CLUB The ROSEBUD Jabba SMALLS' PARADISE BAMBOO INN CLAM HOUSE HARLEM KNIGHTS JAPANESE TEA ROOM THIS has been a most exciting week for me. I have been running around like nobody's business—here, there and everywhere. Because I have been enjoying myself, I must tell you, if you care to have me do so, just what I did, round by round. I'm a confirmed night-lifer, don't ya know. * * * Monday: Monday is always a slow night, it seems, where cabarets are concerned, but just the same, I managed to have a whoopee time. After having partaken of a righteous spaghetti dinner at Domenick's around ten-thirty, I started the covered wagon on its way to A MR. FITZGERALD GRANT. president of the big-time Sport Kings' Social Club. The Sport Kings are staging a big Pajama. Overall and Gingham Dance at the Renaissance Casino Monday evening, September 11th, 1929. the Saratoga Club. Well, I completely broke down up there. This little place, as I've often said, is so good to me, as far as my pocketbook is concerned. I spent my correct three dollars, and departed. Tired feet, from hoofing, and wilted collar, from perspiring. *** Tuesday: Ah, that is the night! My weekly visit to the Paradise. God's chosen place of night life! I had eaten so much at Tabb's that I was almost late for the broadcasting half hour of Charlie Johnson and his incomparable orchestra. But ten-thirty found me falling down the steps, completely out of breath. The covered wagon had failed me, so I had to 'take to the path' as though in the bunion derby. But I made it just as Charlie's bunch started that "You Ain't the One." (And by the way, someone told me that "Toots" was the inspiration that piece. Is it so?) Well, if you were listening in on your radio, as I have told INSURE Your AUTOMOBILE REAL ESTATE OOMPENSATION FURNITURE LIABILITY LIFE On Easy Payment Plan Stephens' Agency 2343 Seventh Avenue Bernissane Theatre Bldg. Telephone Brad. 5383-4202 you to do, then you heard the program as well as I did, so I won't have to tell you anything about it, except that it was just too tight. The Her was there, too, but since we weren't speaking, there's nothing more to say about her at this time. My newest weakness paid me absolutely no attention—merely sat in a chair by the dressing room door, and moved her big eyes around the place. What must I do? Eva shouldn't be so cruel. THE Don't you think MATTIE HUNDLEY'S dimples are cute? She's a Chicago lassie. (The big boy won't mind if you give me just one smile.) Joyce is sort o' sharp, too, ya know. She'll be my next weakness, I can see now, and if I don't make any more progress with my present big moment—it won't be long. *** Wednesday: I never go any place on Wednesday nights, but after putting up the covered wagon, for I used it for circulation, I was too darned out of sorts to go to bed, so I hied me up to the Lenox Club. Boy, oh, boy. And I didn't get home until morning—tra la la. And how. It's a good thing there are some such places, for some such people as me. Such a delightful crowd who had thrown care to the wind and revelled in whoopee. No one asked me to join them, but on such occasions, I need not be asked. I just join in. And the funny part of it, no one asked me out. Little Jeff made me feel as though I were home, but he can't help it. It's in him. * * * Thursday: The "Her" decided to to speak to me. I was kinda glad, you bet. So to show her that I was glad, I asked her to have dinner with me at the Lotus Tea Garden. Did she accept? Ask me another. (She must have been hungry.) Anyway, we both enjoyed our dinner. Gosh, I was glad to have company again. (But my wife comes back from the country tomorrow). *** Friday. Dinner at the Kentucky is always a treat for me, so I took a long time over my fried chicken—and—. I didn't know what else to do, so I asked the "Her" to take in Hot Chocolates with me. And she did. (I knew she would). So down to the Hudson we went. Glory be! What a show! Hot Chocolates—and how hot! Louis Armstrong and his tootin'; Margaret Simms and her singin'; in fact the whole darn show. The Her opened that thing called her mouth each time Billy Higgins and Eddie Green put in their appearance, until I threatened to take a seat just as far removed from her as possible. But she ohed and ahed so much each time that Paul and Thelma Meeres put in their appearance, that I began to think. And here it is. She's partial. Yes, she is. She likes good lookers only. So all who don't qualify as to looks, need not cast one glance in her direction. She pulled me back stage, and of course I went. And then the big Packard of the Handsome Paul, as she calls him, brought the beautiful Thelma, Paul's valet, and us Harlemward. It was a too tight ride, I'll tell you. * * * Saturday: Well, to start the evening right, we had dinner at the Rosebud, and since we didn't have to make time the next morning, decided to make a night of it. Started at Pod's and Jerry's which caused us to fall back into the Rosebud. We did justice to the cuisine! Then onward we went into the night. There was hardly a stop in the vicinity of 132nd Street, between Seventh and Lenox Avenues that was missed. If so, how! For we must have visited every hush house thereabout. For rest, we dropped into the Neste. And there we remained until dawning. * * * Sunday: About 8:00 A. M., I said good morning to my companion, for I couldn't say good night, and departed for my house. How I found it nor when I arrived, I don't know. But around three in the afternoon my stomach called unto me to awake and arise. I ate at home. There was nobody there, so I decided to do the regular thing—take Her to the Matinee. Somehow or another, she wasn't so anxious to go. I wonder why? Was it because Willis stays so close to the door, and doesn't come down to smile upon her? Oh, yes, that's what it was. Anyway, my boy had his usual position, raking in the bucks, and he must have had many a penny on Sunday. For the Matinee fans were there in, it seemed to me, thousands. The stag line was present as usual. Elmer Snowden stomped down as usual in fact, everything was as usual, except Her. She was in the dumps, and has been since. Any way, she condescended to dance with me. But she wasn't so hot. So I purchased her correct pack of Luckies, saw to it that she had the required mineral water, and I went in quest of new worlds to conquer. Well it suffices to say that I left her at the table around 4:30, and saw her no more until I came to get her to take her home at 8:30. What a whopping good time I had. Willis good-byed us most charmingly, but she made not the first sound. I wonder, what is wrong? Anyway, regardless of how hot it is, I shall be on hand with the chippies next Sunday. * * * And as Doc White says — Wee! Wee! 1 Louis Armstrong, world's greatest cornetist, pictured above, and the following—Miss Lizzie Miles, queen of blues singers; Miss Maude Russell, of the Cotton Club; Miss Myra Johnosn of Smalls' Paradise; Mr. Ernest Whitman, celebrated baritone; Messrs.

CORBETT, ex-world’s heavyweight champion only a féw nights ago told-what he termed was the true story of the Walcott- Joe Choyinski fight. Corbett al- leged that the squat Barbadian nev- er licked the real Choyinski as the Pole was deathly sick the night the two hooked up. Not long ago in his downtown office, Tom O’Rourke in person told us that Corbett’s story was a fabric of untruths, and wanted to ask if the Californian who went 61 rounds with Peter Jackson recalled the fact that. he once posted a certified check in the sum of $5,000 with the N. Y. JAAMERICAN to go to Corbett and @s 7 4 + F fir. y R: ALVIN J. MOSES Fitzsimmons if either or both would take on Walcott the same night allowing the “Demon” thirty minutes rest between fights? It all started the night of the Dixon-Skelly match during the three day carnival attending the Sullivan-Corbett fight at New Or- leans, in 1892. Choyinski then was managed by Parson Davies, a very close and intimate friend of Tom O'Rourke. Skelly offered Choyinski $75 to second him against Dixon. Choyinski induced Davies to go to Tom and find out if O’Rourke would hold anything against him for act- ing in the capacity of second against his friend fighter. Of course I readily agreed, for I knew that Dixon would annihilate him. Well when Dixon and Skelly came to the center of the ring for instruc- tions from Duffy, the referee, Choy- inski, in a voice that could be heard throughout the hall, said: “Mr. Duffy, you’ll have to watch this fellow Dixon closely tonight, for he’s a very foul fighter.” Poor “Little Chocolate” nearly turned white at this unwarranted accusa- tion before a hostile “Cracker” au- dience in New Orleans—where the eternal racial issues were in- volved. Stepping up to Ghoyinski, Dix- on asked: “Joe, did you ever see me fight?” “No,” Choyinski grudg- ingly acknowledged. “No, you never By Alvin J. Moses saw me fight, sobbed the broken: hearted Nova Scotian, “and you, nor any one else, has ever seen me foul. There is not a foul against me in all my record, yet you step up before this hostile Southern au- dience, who already have protested against a Negro meeting a white man. “Jack Skelly, my opponent here, has seen me fight many times, and I know that he is man enough,” continued Dixan, “to state whether by act or reputation I am consi- dered a foul fighter.” To Skelly’3 undying credit it must be here related that he turned to Mr. Duffy, the referee, and said: “My opponent is as clean a fighter as there is in the ring.” O’Rourke was fit to be tied, walk- ing over to Choyinski, he ex- claimed: “Joe, I’m going to make you pay for this, if it’s the last thing I do in life. You’ll regret this a | lian Welterweight Champion who has them all ducking him since he floored Jackic Fields—Buddy hopes to work here soon. baiting of Dixon until your dying day, when Joe Walcott gets through with you.” se oe Eight Years for Revenge Perey, after careful scheming Tom got Choyinski to sign for the match, after the hard hitting Pole had broken with Parson Da- vies, his friend and manager, at the Broadway A. C. of this city. Wal- cott weighed 135 pounds, and Choy- inski 175. In the first round Wal- cott knocked Choyinski down seven times, each time referee Charlie White gave Choyinski the benefit of the count. During that hectic first round shellacking, each time that Choy- inski would strike the floor, John L. Sullivan, who was seconding him, would tumble down off the ring platform, thinking the fight was over, and started for the dress- ing room. Joe Walcott paid Choy- inski back in full that night for the dirty rat trick he tried to pull off on poor little Dixon (God rest his soul) eight years prior. Brown Is Winner Over Knud Larsen COPENHAGEN, Aug. 29.—Al Brown, world bautamweight champion, de- feated Knud Larsen, home feather- weight, in, ten rounds before a tense crowd of 20,000 in the greatest sport- ing event in Denmark’s history. The Panamanian Negro dazzled Lar- sen with his greater variety of punch- es, faster footwork and lengthy reach. Leather constantly was in the aggres- sive Dane's face. Larsen’s game stand thrilled a strongly partisan crowd. Some booed the decision loudly, but the tall colored boy won the first seven rounds clearly and clinched the verdict in the tenth. Brown dropped to his knees from a low punch in the seventh. Larsen won the next two—his only rounds, but was outspeeded and outpunched in the elos- ing chapter. Thousands unable to obtain seats got the news of the progress of the fight from airplanes swooping low over the ity with red lanterns on the wings as signals.

J. B. (Harry) Hairstone and A. Jack Thomas, who at one time were em- ployed in pre-season games at the Black Sox Park, still find themselves denied an opportunity to obtain work as arbiters in the Monumental City. Despite the fact that the management of the local nine claims that no com- petent umpires arc obtainable here, these men point to their past records as evidences of their ability. Football in Chi. The Wilberforce-Tuskegee football game, originally scheduled to be played in the Alumni Bowl at Tuskegee on October 26, has been transferred to Soldiers Field, Chicago, for the same date. Officials of the athletic councils of both institutions have recently agreed to the transfer. Graduates and former students of both Wilberforce and Tuskegee, living in the north and mid-west, have been instrumental in having the game brought to the north- ern district. In_ selecting Soldiers Field with a seating capacity of 125,000 people, it is thought that a master stroke has been made as the place offers every comfort and convenience and possesses ideal arrangements for both players and spectators. Yhe game will be one of the most colorful ever staged in the mid-west and will draw one of the largest crowds. Both institutions have a tre- mendous following and fans from all sections will be on hand to see the Green Wave tackle Tuskegee, one of Dixie’s greatest football teams.
