Perry I AM certain most of my friends or readers of some of the letters I wrote while abroad think my visit was a series of parties. I am not so certain that it wasn't. But, now, I am going to attempt to write about some of my impressions of people, places and customs in England. OUR PLANK Increased pay for Patrolmen and Firemen Greater consideration in general for these Public Guardians. ALVIN J. MOSES, Editor Published Friday of every v matter February 26, 1926, at the P English It By Edward I AM certain most of my friends wrote while abroad think my v so certain that it wasn't. But, now, some of my impressions of people, My first impression of England was a beautiful one Early on the morning of April 3, we dropped anchor in the bay off the coast of Plymouth. From this town the Pilgrims sailed for America. Sailing toward the shore on a tender we saw a magnificent view of an English seacoast. Plymouth is on a hill surrounded by an old fortress at its base. A lovely castle sits on the summit. The trees with their freshly budding leaves in various shades blended together, creating in one's imagination scenes of great landscapes by the master painters. And over it all the misty aurora of dawn was fading away in colorful splendour. Going up to London we had a chance to see the lovely English countryside. It was as beautiful as I had been told it would be. Rolling fields of green grass, magnificent trees. Arriving in London at the dingy Paddington Station, we found it dismal and damp. I was soon to be disillusioned about how cheaply one can live abroad. A friend and I took "bed and breakfast" together. This being a room in a private house in the Russell Square section. Breakfast consisted of an egg, a slice of Danish bacon, two slices of bread, some orange marmalade and a pot of tea. This was varied with herring one morning, and fruit on Sunday. But it was very cold and damp in London in April. Our room had a small gas heater with a penny meter. One side of the large room never became warm. So my friend remained in bed, while I sat over the heater dropping pennies into the meter. This was an expensive matter, for an English penny is two cents of U. S. money. We soon moved from this house to Edgeware Road, where four of us took over a house. One can hire domestics in England cheaply. We had a charwoman who cleaned every day five rooms, washed the dishes, and washed our socks, for sixteen shillings (about four dollars) a week. So we became quite English, pouring our tea in the afternoons. Food is very expensive, and very bad if eaten in most of the English restaurants. It is absolutely tasteless. The reason for this being—the salt isn't salty, the pepper isn't hot, and the sugar isn't sweet. Just that! So to get excellent food one must eat in an Italian or French restaurant. Also in, few of the English places do you get a serviette, butter, or water, unless they are asked for. Then there is an Attention, Contestants! It has come to the attention of the contest Editor that certain vicious rumors are being circulated, by disgruntled and defeated candidates in several previous contests conducted by this publication purporting to cast aspersions upon the integrity and honesty of these contests. So that every contestant will know that they will receive a "square deal" The Tattler will offer a reward to any person who can prove that our contests are conducted other than in accordance to the highest journalistic ethics. Those having complaints to make will please communicate with—The Inter-State Tattler Co., 2296 Seventh Avenue, New York City. --- The Interstate Jattler extra charge for the serviette and the butter. The English seldom say come to lunch or dinner. It is—"come to tea." Tea as you know is their national drink. Tea time comes between three and six o'clock in the afternoon. Many of the large department stores and small shops close for half of an hour to allow their employees to drink their tea. Customers in the stores at the times are invited to have their tea. The ushers in theatres will serve you tea at the matinee with all of the service on a small tary, for two pennies, Buttered bread and marmalade, or sweet cookies are served with it. The English are charming hosts. They seldom give dancing parties. The majority of them enjoy sitting around talking and discussing current events in politics and the arts. Most of these parties begin at eight or nine in the evening, and are out by twelve or one. Of course there are a few exceptions among the younger groups, and the bohemian circles. There are very few places to go after twelve o'clock in the evening. One or two cabarets that are dreadfully dull, and the Lyon's corner houses. Parks! I think there are no parks in the world like those in London. They added a great deal to the joy of my visit there. Magnificent trees, towering above the earth in glorious splendour. Beautiful flowers. Lovliest of all being the Rhododendrons. Lakes, and the Serpentine stream in Hyde Park. Peter Pan's statute stands in radiant lovliness in Kensington Gardens. A drive through the grand chestnut trees of Chestnut Row. Richmond Park, and many, many others that make London a city of great charm. The museum addict or tourist is in his glory in London. Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, London Bridge, the Tower of London where the crown jewels may be seen, and the British Museum where an American Negro woman holds a diplomatic post under the supervision of the United States Government, the National Gallery, and the Tate Gallery where Epstein's head of Paul Robeson has been permanently placed, St. Paul's Church and many places of historic interest. A visit to the Old Cheshire Cheese where Doctor Samuel Johnson, Carlyle and Boswell gathered for some of their favorite dishes—beef and kidney pie or humming-bird pie. London and the English countryside have many beautiful old churches and chapels that will greatly repay for a visit to them. There are many unemployed people in England. The results of this situation can be seen by the large number of poor, haggard, crippled and starving beggars to be seen about London. At night they are found sleeping in alleys, on doorsteps or on the sidewalks. English children are just about the most insipid in the world. The boys wear short pants, tight-fitting jackets and small caps that sit back on their heads. Most of them are very delicate and what we would call "mamma-cut" boys. Their sisters are still worse. They have none of the fresh sparkle of the French children. The mothers of these children, as most of the English women, are very rugged looking, and most of them wear ill-fitting coat suits and hats that SECRETARIAL Lincoln School 261-269 West 125th St., N.Y.C.

The men's fashions of the world may come from England, but the average Englishman is a very poor specimen of the well-dressed men. Like their wives or sweethearts most of them wear ill-fitting clothes. Likewise there is very little color in anything they wear, but regardless of how very well-dressed or not everyone carries an umbrella. For it rains "any old time" in England. Some of the Negroes from the States in England are doing big things and becoming very prosperous. I am Robeson on the stage or in cc is always a sensation. Layton and Johnstone are the greatest headliners in the variety houses in England while their records are the best-sellers in the British Empire. The Four Harmony Kings can always pack 'em in. While the Three Eddies will hold their own with the best. I wrote once before about the magnificent beautiful home the Turner Laytons have in West Hempstead, one of London's most fashionable residential sections. While the Paul Robesons are buying a house in the very historically section of Hempstead facing the Heath which is a neighborhood where Keats and Rossetti onced lived. It is said that King George owned the finest car in England, but Tandy Johnstone has surpassed him by buying the same make and having it specially built. John Payne who went to London about ten years ago has a house that can be described in one word—grand! There is a serenity and solidity to London that gives it a very definite charm among the great cities of the world, so that one wants to return to it even with the cold dampness and tasteless food. Even now I would enjoy a stroll through one of its lovely parks, to stand in Piccadilly Circus, walk on that architecturally perfect shopping street—Regent Street, sit in one of the beautiful old churches, visit the Blake and Turner rooms in the Tate Gallery, see the lions in Trafalgar Square, and have a pot of tea (without the milk) and some buttered brown bread with marmalade! Lead Fight on Barring of Negroes in Brooklyn Church New York, Sept. 25.—Announcement from the pulpit by the Rev. William S. Blackshear, late of Texas, that Negro members were not wanted by the Protestant Episcopal Church of St. Matthew in Brooklyn, has precipitated a controversy that has gone echoing through the press of the city and country and has stirred public opinion profoundly. Immediately upon learning of the announcement, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People wrote and telegraphed the vestry of the church, inquiring whether this utterance and action of the pastor represented their point of view, and urging that it be repudiated and the pastor dismissed. The N. A. A. C. P. communications alluding to the "Jim-Crow Christianity" of the pastor of the church of St. Matthew, were given prominent and widespread publicity in the press. In its statement to the press the N. A. A. C. P. said: STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION, ETC., REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS OF AUGUST 24, 1912, Of Inter-State Tattler, published every Friday (Weekly) at New York, N. Y., for Oct. 1, 1929. 88. { County of New York State of New York Before me, a Notary Public in and for the State and county aforesaid, personally appeared Jack Trotter, who, having been duly sworn according to law, deposes and says that he is the Business Manager of the Inter-State Tattler and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management (and if a daily paper, the circulation), etc., of the aforesaid publication for the date shown in the above caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in section 411, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the reverse side of this form, to wit: HARLEM'S DUTY Demand from Chain Stores and other Trusts who exploit us - equal patronage unreservedly, DISMOND, Managing Editor. Edgecombe 6661. Entered as second class Vol. V. No. 39. Friday, Sept. 27, 1929 "It is regrettable that such an action as this of the Rev. Mr. Blackshear must follow the engagement by a northern congregation of a Texas clergyman. The brand of Christianity which establishes the Jim Crow line in churches is a laughing stock to all civilized people. The Rev. Mr. Blackshear fits in badly with the enlightened attitude here in the North. For all humane and decent people it must seem an outrage that loyal members of the congregation who have supported the maintenance of the church with their funds should be publicly insulted and expelled because of their color. "That sort of thing is bad enough in Mississippi. It is contemptible in social clubs. But when it comes to a church in the North it is repugnant to the feelings of the community. If the vestrymen of the church do not repudiate the utterances and actions of their pastor, they condemn themselves before public opinion." Eugene Matthews, 2294 Seventh Avenue, N. Y. C.; Alice V.

THE DANCE Small wonder that "Hot Chocolates" is the most discussed show in town. When these beautiful High Brown skinned damsels commence to shake and warble,politics no longer remain a party issue. The women are smiling and standing together, with a man in the center holding a bicycle. They appear to be in a park or a similar outdoor setting. Golfing has been truly called the sport of the elite and one of the interesting features of the tricky greens is the social side, as this excellent photo portrays. The crowd was packed, with many people holding up their hands in the air. The crowd was so large that it seemed like a giant ball of straw. The crowd was also holding up their hands in the air.

I might better say whatever they wanted to do. There are only a few in business, but they are well located and apparently prosperous. ** Mr. S. T.

The Unique Fashion Club, Inc., are blazing forth on Friday evening, October 4th, with its Million Dollar Fashion Show. The following modistes—Mary Field Stayhorn, Lulu Fields Burney, Harriett Waller, Jessie Humphrey, Hazel Foster, Frances Varick Dear, and Mae Howard, as milliner—promise a brilliant spectacle of all that will be worn during the year of 1930 by the leaders in the world of fashion.

E Pluribus Unum Club held their weekly meeting Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. Alma Fisher, 207 West 147th Street. Mrs. Rosetta Wyatt Squires and her partner, Mr. Richard Brown, held the highest whist score for the evening. The hostess being the belle of the club, all the scandal was centered on her. A delicious repast was served. The Just Us Girls had their first fall meeting at the home of Lucille Gretter, 122 W. 135th Street. Bridge was played, and Mamie Lee was the first prize winner, Grace Martin and Vernon Griffin second and third. Colation was served and the plans were discussed for their fall dance. One of the most interesting events of the fall entertaining season was the dance given by the "Jocund Boy's and Co-Ed's Club" at Philadelphia's prettiest ball room—"The Strand." There was novelty throughout the entire evening; the first being a bit of terpischorean art as performed by Miss Charlotta Clarke and Company. Then followed a dance by Jas. Lewis—better known as "Snake Hips." Last, but not least, was the waltz contest, in which some of Philadelphia's best dancers participated. The "Musical Demons," with their tantalizing syncopation helped make the dance a huge success. The club must be congratulated for its wonderful co-operation in making the dance a success. It's members are known throughout the entire city, and the club is supported faithfully by its many followers. Here's hoping for future prosperity. It was evident that the patrons of the Gaucho's dance that was held last Friday night at the beautiful new Alham- We are moving... * * * --- * * * * * * * * * bra Ballroom had been preparing for the occasion for a long time.

The club banners displayed were: The Globe, The Only 15 Girls, Meteor, The Bescony Boys, The Lucretia Girls, Renown, Quality Girls, Ace, Cluster Girls and The Zeigfield. The Tattler wishes ot thank the Metropolitan Social Club for the invitations to their Fall Reunion Dance.

Notes of Railroad Men It is quite a pleaasure to meet a fellow with a fine disposition, and one who is making something of himself in the world. "Success comes to him who tries." Joseph Franklyn Makel, Jr., a student of Lincoln University, was recently employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in the dining car service. Mr. Makel has only two years more before completing his college work, after which he expects to study law. He has the knack of making friends everywhere and so far has made quite a few on the Road. He is a resident of Pittsburgh, Pa. * * * Perhaps the Thompson System in Buffalo has been wondering about the whereabouts of their old pal, John Moss, who is now in the dining car service. He lives in Columbus, Ohio, and sends regards to all his associates. In Buffalo he is better known as "The Kid." * * * We learn that John Ferris, cook on the C. & P. Lines, is enjoying a few days' vacation at his home in Cleveland. Mr. Ferris lives at S215 Platt Avenue. * * * James Pitt, ex-Pullman porter, is remodelling his home on Calhoun Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. * * * Paul Goss, cook, who has been ill in Spain. "Negroes have written in Arabic, French, Portugese, Russian, German and Spanish," writes Mr. Morris. "Two writers with colored blood, Pushkin and Dumas, were among the most eminent of nineteenth century European men of letters. Frederic Marcelin, some of whose novels merit translation into English, wrote with distinction of the life of his people in Haiti. And the most celebrated of contemporary Brazilian writers of fiction, Machado de Assis, was a Negro." Mr. Morris traces the development of Negro writers in this country beginning with Jupiter Hammond, Phyllis Wheatley and the almanac-astronomer, Benjamin Banneker. "Negroes," continues Mr. Morris, "have written admirable books upon almost every variety of subjects: folklore, sociology, criticism of the arts, history, embryology, African and Polar exploration, law, classical languages and literatures, and philosophy, among them." Among these works is the "only Creole grammar in English" which was written by a Negro scholar and, though published in 1869, is not yet superseded. "The contemporary Negro 'Renaissance' in the arts is making a significant and interesting contribution to our culture; there is no longer any doubt of that. But that it is a renaissance of anything more than our interest in the work of colored writers and artists is doubtful.

For it is undoubtedly the funniest show Harlem has seen in many months. Two of the greatest comedians on the American stage Hamtree Harrington and Shelton Brooks supply the fun, aided by some of the funniest comedy "situations" which the reviewer has seen in recent years. In addition to the fine comedy, Gayeties also boasts of some very fine dancing, some entrancing novelties, a fascinating dramatic "bit" and a sweet, well-played musical score. Galeties is. altogether, the kind of a show which some enterprising producer sees, dresses up and presents on Broadway as "the greatest colored revue." In addition to the revue, the Lafalette is offering a most unusual and enjoyable all-talking, all-singing Vitaphone drama—"The Desert Song."—the screen version of the great stage drama and romance operetta. "The Desert Song" is a remarkable pitcure. It has a cast of more than two hundred players. It was filmed on the burning sands of the Sahara Desert. It unfolds the charming romance between the mysterious "Red Shadow" and the daughter of a French general in a manner which is only made possible through the marvelous development of the Vitaphone. Added to the passionate love-making, the fierce fighting, the hilarious comedy is the wonderful singing of the principal members of the cast and of a chorus of more than 100 voices. Some of the desert scenes are reproduced in natural colors. the effect is more beautiful than words can tell. The conversation, as it comes over the Lafayette's new Western Electric Equipment is clear and natural and helps make "The Desert Song" the picture treat of the season. At the Alhambra "It's a Plenty," is the title of the revue at the Alhambra this week, and it is tame compared to some of those which have gone on the Alhambra stage in the immediate past. It is to be hoped that by MUSICAL COMEDY REVUES TALKING PHOTOPLAYS LAFAYETTE 7th AVE. at 132nd ST. THIS WEEK (UNTIL SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29th, INCL.)

Hazelle Van Vlerah who returned home after a tour of England wins approval with some nice singing. Eva Metcalf, Edna Young and the inimitable Amanda Randolph help to enliven the revue with clever bits of dialogue and some strenuous leg exercises for which they receive appreciative applause. The song put over by S. H. Dudley, Jr. and Edna Young could have been better. Mary Clemons, returned recently from the Moulin Rouge in Paris seemed to have a lot of pep. George Randol, back in Harlem again did some good work. Fun in a newspaper office serves to add to the entertaining value of the revue although the climax built around "news" might have ended differently, with more respect for the publication mentioned. "Who killed rich Colonel Hunt?" is the big question in the mysterious tragedy on a Long Island estate, called "The Society Murder." The story concerns a blue-white diamond of ill-fame and fabulous value. Stolen in India by the Colonel's faithful servant, it carries a curse which serves to fasten guilt upon the murderer of the Colonel. The work of the chorus was lively and pleasing. Rudy Vallee in Harlem On Monday October 21 Harlem will have the greatest musical treat ever heard of, under the auspices of the American and West Indian News at Rockland Palace. Rudy Vallee will again bring his Connecticut Yankees to give the younger set the opportunity of dancing under his crooning love songs. As his special guest, Mr. Vallee will have the "Hollywood Million Dollar Orchestra," an aggregation of the Rockies. These two world famous orchestras, over the air, phonograph records and in dance halls, would have cost the American and West Indian News $11,000. Not being satisfied with the above mentioned, John C. Smith, and his Rejuvenated Harlemites are engaged to complete the program of the evening. A. ROLAND HAYES, whose forthcoming European tour is said to be the most ambitious undertaking ever conceived by this leading race artist. Critics on the other side of the Atlantic have acclaimed his work as second to none on the concert stage today.

Like the former, the story is an intimate tale of German life, dealing with the life and loves of a German composer and the wife to whom he always returns as his one great love. Lewis Stone plays the husband, "Tromholt" in a splendidly balanced performance, and Peggy Wood, famous stage star, makes a living, breathing reality of the wife. Leila Hyams is a beautiful charmer as "Karen" the opera singer. Roosevelt Theatre Two of the finest, most unusual programs of the year will find their way to the Roosevelt's audible screen next week. These are "The Studio Murder Mystery," a baffling mystery-thriller, with an all-star all-talking cast including Neil Hamilton, Warner Oland, Florence Eldridge, Fredric March, Doris Hill and Chester Conklin—to be shown Saturday, Sunday and Monday, September 28, 29 and 30. and the screen's first Vitaphone operetta.

New Douglas Theatre This Saturday, Sunday and Monday brings to the New Douglas Theatre "When Men Betray" an exceptionally strong melo-drama of night life in Chicago and New York with an all colored cast. "When Men Betray" is probably the most pretentious effort yet attempted by a complete colored cast, director and producer, Oscar Micheaux, the well known director of motion pictures with all colored casts, spent a great deal of time and money on this story. However, he was well rewarded with a picture teeming with action suspense, comedy, drama—in fact all those essentials which go to make a good evening's entertainment.

Yet, had it not been for this expression of racial feeling by the rector of St. Matthew's Church and others of his ilk, the priceless friendship of this stalwart champion of humanity might have been lost to us. Now we know conclusively that Heywood Broun is our champion as well as friend. I for one, rejoice in this friendship. He has done much to advance our cause by his satirical exposure of the Rev.

I feel that it would be the ideal thing to have Mr. Broun attend the annual Thanksgiving Howard and Lincoln Football Classic at Philadelphia and there present him with an appropriate trophy of our appreciation. The N.A.A.C.P. is the logical organization to handle such a matter. With their far flung branches, in almost every nook and corner of the United States, this powerful body should be able to quickly raise a fund for the purpose of rewarding in some little measure, the priceless efforts Mr. Broun has put forth in our behalf. After two and one-half months at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, Adelaide Hall and most of the members of the number one company of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" returned to Harlem last week.

The song, "Black and Blue," was written just so Edith Wilson would have an excuse to black up. The comedians like to revive the sweet nicety of drinking beer out of a tin pail, the person drinking over the handle being elected to buy the next round. This is great fun and quite relaxing. Male stars seek quarters near the roof. They never complain when lights or scenery go wrong. Female stars are happiest when their husbands are musicians, trap drummers, trombonists and cornetists being most in demand as mates.

If on the Road we'd try to make a friend Of every lonely heart we chance to meet, The Road would hide a treasure 'round each bend And we would tread the way with anger feet." Lonesome Heart Contributor gives his description in poetic fashion, thus lending to it an appeal that otherwise would not exist. Not so bashful, not so bold. Drink little, never get tight. Will dance little, but not all night. Will spend a little but never go broke. Will lie a little and tell a joke, Got no kids but wouldn't mind Anywhere from one to nine.

In this way the column will always be kept fresh and teeming with life. ```markdown ``` Twelve tedious months have been spent in trying to locate a girl pal. In dismay the writer turns to the Lonesome Heart Column with but a tiny ray of hope in her heart. "Please try and help me. I see you have helped many others. Have been here a year and have not found the right pal as yet. Am a girl of 23 and need a good girl pal. I love dancing, shows and all nice sports, but do not pet, drink or smoke. The girl I want for a pal must be on the same order. Please try and find one for me." Tall girls who admire tall men will do well to use up a few minutes in scanning the words of the following writer. "Dear Jackie—Am awfully lonesome, and I know you'll do your best to help me. Would like to meet a nice young lady about five feet 8 inches tall, from 19 to 23 years old. She must be a lover of all sports. I am 27 years old, six feet 1 inch and weigh 180 lbs., and I am a Panamaian. Hoping you'll find someone for me, etc." How many would be interested in a Lonesome Heart Ball? Send card with name and address to Jackie Nobile, care of Tattler, if you are, and if the response warrants it, the Tattler management will be pleased to arrange for the event. * * * ..A reader of the Tattler would like to get address of Dr. William M. Higgins, Providence, R. I. If any one happens to know it, please send to Jackie Nobile, c-o Tattler. Helen Keller is authority for the statement that God closes the eyes sometimes in order that persons may see. I wonder if there are other such laws in operation elsewhere? "Again I am appealing to you to please help me. Am a young lady of 19, considered nice-looking by my friends. I am tall and of a pleasing personality. I had a slight misfortune in life; that is, I am lame, but not to an exceeding degree and not permanantly. I am told that it is not the looks that count but the character and I have that without a flaw. Now I would like to get in touch with a young gentleman, someone who would mean good by me; also one who isn't afraid of work and earns a fair salary; also likes church and active sports. Would like for him to be brownskin or lighter, about five feet 6 or more. I also hope he will live near enough so that he can visit me. I am really lonesome, Jackie, and would like to find someone who would love, cherish and take care of me." No charge is made for space given a letter in the Lonesome ARE YOU LONELY?

Am light brown myself, long curly hair, five feet 5 inches tall, weigh 145 lbs. Good lover and wish to try the married life. I will be a nice husband to a nice little wife and will make her happy always. My people are Spanish, also I am Spanish too. My trade is brick-layer, but also I work as a first class seaman. Am a good dancer and very fond of music. Dear Miss Jackie, if there is a vacant chance for me, please let me hear as soon as possible." "A few days ago I forwarded you a missive requesting your assistance in helping me, as you have so many others. Of course, this is my third attempt in trying to get connected with someone in your column, but not being disheartened, I'm back again. My last letter was entitled, 'Just one queen blossom on the tree is more than all the rest to me,' which was printed. Many thanks to you, Dearest." "I am coming to you this time blindfolded and am asking you to help me once more. Am not lonely, but would like a real interesting pen pal. I don't like girls under 25 years old. Just let me see what kind of girl you will like for me to have. Like a person that can appreciate a real friend, a widow or anyone above 25. Am leaving it to you to pick for me one just like yourself. Jackie. Hope to meet you face to face. I just want to see you one time and hope I can thank you for your kind deeds. I think I am going to be very happy after I am free. Expect to go to an art school in the city. My plans are all made." "I beg to call your attention to my case. I am single (never was married) 34 years old, light complexion, weigh 184 lbs., five feet 11½ inches tall, in good health, with business. Have intentions of settling down and making a home. Want to correspond with a nice young woman not over 40 years old, with ideals. Am not particular what color or nationality. If you can place me with a lady of that type it will be appreciated to the highest." * * * Sketched upon a card, stately royal palms with rugged pink trunks, about which cling green and golden foliage, are enclosed by a low white stone wall that divides them from a path which makes one want to travel joyfully with Haines to "the end of the road." They, by their beauty and the card by print, invite me to visit the Island of Bermuda. Of course a friend sends a message: "Will call on you when I return.

HOLLYWOOD SEEKS TALENT FROM AMONG CLASSIC CONTEST WINNERS Goldwyn Film Company Planning Gigantic All-Colored Talkie in Negotiations With Contest Editor TALENTED young ladies who have long sought to bask in the spotlight of the silver screen will have an excellent chance to do so via the Tattler's present "Queen of the Classic," if present negotiations between the Goldwyn Film Company of Hollywood, Cal., and the Contest Editor develop into a substantial working agreement. More than fifty principals and extras will be needed for the proposed All-Colored All-Talking picture characterization which the Goldwyn Company plans to produce in the near future. Many of those needed will be recommended by this publication and those who qualify will receive the best and most lucrative parts. THE MUSIC OF THE WESTERN WESTERN MISS INEZ QUINN—"Queen of the Classic," who prior to her winning the first prize in the "Queen of the Classic" for 1928 was an obscure little High School girl. Since then her popularity has grown by leaps and she has received many lucrative offers. Although a movie actress' career may not appeal to every girl there is an unusually large number who would like to develop their ambitions and perhaps qualify for stellar roles in the theatre where working hours are short and earnings are good. However, it is not with Hollywood or the many tempting offers which come from that artistic city with which we are concerned at this time. Rather it is with the "Queen of the Classic" for 1929. The contest made its official bow to a waiting world last Monday, September 23 and will have its official end at midnight Saturday, November 24. Meantime a scramble for the first five prizes is expected which will exceed in its dramatic intensity anything heretofor attempted in the line of contests conducted in this city. With the Lincoln-Howard Football game as the magnet and six hundred dollars in good United States dollars, despite the reduction in size as a reward for effort well spent, the "Queen of the Classic" for 1929 will undoubtedly measure up and possibly surpass its predecessors. Already some of Harlem's most prominent institutions have tentatively agreed to support various candidates, most of whom are yet to be chosen. Representing the personnel of the Lafayette Theatre will be Miss Edith Smith, cashier; Miss Mae Swails has the goodwill of Jacks Restaurant at 1944 Seventh Avenue. Miss Ruth Church the petite little waitress at Alberga and Hamilton's place near 130th Street and Seventh Avenue, has enough personality to finish among the leaders, not to forget Mrs. Modestine Williams and Miss Marjorie Bain who are employed by the well known Alice Foote McDougald. Add to these the charming Katherine rine Poe, Katie W Noisette, Gloria McCutcheon, Blanche vay, Lulu Rutton, Lassiter, of the Lucretia Social Club cy Reese, Constance (they won $150 last time); Rosalind Anthony, Esther W Jackson, Ruth Hutchings, Grace Mit- tle White of Mae Bchell, of Flushing and Corona respec- at 2368 7th Avenue Nomination Blank on Page 9 tively; Lillian Berry and Georgette Lewis of the Bronx; Vivian Adamson and Rosalie Smalls of the Heights, and Esther Garland of Newark, N. J.; Bessie Williams of Belleville, N. J.; Severna Saunders of New Rochelle, N. Y.; Agnes Thorpe of Englewood, N. J., and it begins to look like things are going to hum before the winner pockets those two hundred little United States dollars. Others who are expected to enter and from whom interested clubs may make a choice are: the Misses Gay Ingram, Margaret Inniss, Wilmetta Jackson, Lucille Henry, Mayme Hollman, Hazel Minor, Ethlyn Smith, Ulma Banks, Josephine Richardson, Catherine Barnes, Violet Barber, Vivian Babers, Enid Raphael, Ernestine Powell, Ethel Mae Taylor, Clara James, Laura Bailey, Dorothy Washington, Eva Fredrich, Elizabeth Crutcher, Jaunita Scott, Mrs. Hazel Wilson, Beryl Watkins, Mildred Grinade, Dorothy Brown, Carrie Skeeter, Ruby Ingram, Bessie Smith, Mrs. Alyce Davis, Anita Swain, Alberta Aspinall, Etta Dix, Evelyn Greene, Wilhelmina Lowe, Annie Dyer, Drewsilla Dawson, Alice Lewis, Juanita Boiseau, Gladys Webster, Ida Lee, Halen Lee, Lucille Coffer, Marjorie Henley, Hallie Moorer, Mrs. Mae Hunter, Roberto Bosley, Mildred Upshaw, Lily Andrews, Lione Daggert, Mildred Gapaway, Perlie Thomas, Olethia Hamm, Margaret Robinson, Inez Walker, Marion Webster, Lessie Porter, Sonia Cook, Helen Branchcombe, Alferretta Beal, Edna Ellington, Elipabeth Jones, Docas Brooks, Eunice Walton, Millie Hall, Cordelia Catlin, Ruth Sherman, Lillian Brown, Edna Sturdifin, Inez Seeley, Vera Raymous, Lillian Steele, Flo Cooke, Gertrude Smith, Clover Howard, Mildred Peyton, Toddy Barton.
