Friday, Oct. 4, 1929 THE NEW YORK TIMES HUBERT T. DELANY, Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, was the successful candidate for Congress for the 21st District. He is a graduate of New York University School of Law, was twice elected president of the Dunbar Literary Society and once president of the Educational Club of City College. He is the first Negro to win the Trustees prize in oratory. Since his advent into political life his rise has been swift and certain. A. MRS. E. HORTENSE WARNER, a prominent political figure, Founder and President of The Woman's Political Study Class and the only colored woman on the State Committee, was denied the nomination by the Republican Party, is running on an Independent Ticket for Assembly in the 21st District B ```markdown ``` 282 JOHN C. HAWKINS, also an attorney, in point of service is perhaps the foremost candidate for election. He is the second Negro to have been elected to the New York Assembly and the only one to be appointed Assistant Counsel to the U. S. Shipping Board. He was unopposed to succeed himself as Alderman in the 21st District. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN COL. CHARLES W. FILLMORE, Former Major of Ohio's Old Ninth Battalion, and organizer of the old 15th New York Infantry, who was elected CoLeader with David L. Costuma by Republican voters of the 19th Assembly District. He is an auditor in the Income Tax Bureau. W. H. Alderman FRED R. MOORE is the most widely known candidate in the group and he has a long record of public service. He is now up for re-election in the 19th Assembly District. As one of the directors of Dunbar National Bank, editor of a Harlem weekly, and a leader in welfare and social circles, his influence is unlimited. THE NEW YORK TIMES LAMAR PERKINS, also a practising attorney and a graduate of Harvard Law School, won a single handed fight against his apponent in the 21st Assembly District. Mr. Perkins is a World War Veteran and member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC WILLIAM H. AUSTIN, the only Negro on the Democratic ticket, is also an attorney and stands high in the profession. Although he has been closely connected with Democratic politics for several years, this is the first time he has run for public office. He is up for Alderman in the 21st District. M. F. ELLIS RIVERS, Republican candidate for Assemblyman in the 19th District, is a practising attorney, member of the New York County Bar Association and of Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity. He received his legal training at Harvard and Columbia Law Schools and this is his first attempt at public office. He enjoyed a sweeting victory at the Primaries. LOOK OF THE THE The crowd was filled with excitement and joy as they watched the performance. The performers were dressed in formal attire, and the audience was enthusiastic. The event was a celebration of the arts, and the crowd was eager to see what was happening. The crowd was filled with excitement and joy as they gathered around the stage, cheering and clapping. The atmosphere was electric, with many people smiling and shouting in support of the performers. The crowd was a mix of men and women, all dressed in formal attire, with many wearing hats. The event was a celebration of the performance, and the crowd was eager to see what was happening. Distinguished Race folk from all over the country (like this gathering), will help swell the expected crowd of 50,000 that will yell themselves hoarse during Hampton-Lincoln game. The two men are engaged in a serious discussion, with one leaning forward and the other standing upright. They appear to be in a formal setting, possibly a courtroom or a meeting room, given the formal attire of the men. The background is blurred, suggesting a shallow depth of field, which focuses attention on the two men. The image is monochromatic, with varying shades of black and white.

The usual collegiate gang that frequents the well known Idyll Wyle tea room on the Avenue, with only a few of the old familiar faces, among them, J. William Clifford, Foots Malloy, Gay Ingram, Roberta Jones, Lee Smith of Oakland, Cal., Thelma Yancey, last year's "Queen of the Classic," J. C. Robinson from Morris Brown, Lamar Williams, Coleman Willis, Bertha Lambert, Amy Brown and Dr. Kelly Miller, Jr., packed Rockland Palace. THE WORLD'S FINEST WOMEN Friday. October 4. 1929 AFTER fashion shows and fashion color, the Osbiny Club, Inc. beau-brummels, stepped out Friday quite the thing. The usual collection known Idyll Wyle tea room on the old familiar faces, among them, J. Ingram, Roberta Jones, Lee Smith last year's "Queen of the Classic, Lamar Williams, Coleman Willis, Kelly Miller, Jr., packed Rockland 1 Bennie Carter and his Missourians played for the dancing and at one o'clock the show began with the Lenoxette in Moments Low Down. From the Club came the charming Louis Cole, just back from his Paris engagement with the Blackbirds, Frazier and Green who with Cole, did a tap specialty, Gwendolyn Posey and Kathleen La Mar. They featured the Breakaway and the Lenox Club's South Sea Island number. * * * 1 Of the Broadway favorites listed to "walk," Earl Snake Hips Tucker was the only one to appear. And what a reception he got, and how swankle were his foreign clothes. * * * First honors for the male models went without question to Webb Richardson, whose most attractive garb was a riding outfit of tan breeches, a lighter tan polo shirt and the conventional highly polished brown boots. To appreciate the picture one should know that Mr. Webb has a gorgeous brown color, aquiline features set off by coal black eyes and wavy hair, and a trim boyish figure. He hails from either Charleston or Columbia, which, I take it, makes him one of those fascinating creatures—a gechee.

Ernest Chaiwell, who introduced beach attire and what the well dressed man will include in his fall wardrobe, was a close second. The other models were Walter Scott, Gordon Roberts and Edward Chavers, Robert Drain, Holloway Phillips and Harold Woodward, who, by the way, were tres chic, Edward Williams of Porgy Company who got a big hand, and Freddie Heron. All of them had the proper nonchalant air and knew their mannequin business. The program offered sport togs, smart hats and fall suits and top coats. Although models of formal attire were billed and would have completed the display, Messrs. Graffenburg, Allen, Verwayne and Meeres were conspicuous by their absence. * * * Quite the event in social circles this week was the return Wednesday of the Norman Cottons and their daughter, Gloria, on the Homeric. After a month's rest at their summer home at Oak Bluffs, Dr. and Mrs. Cotton sailed August 2nd on the Saturnia for a tour of Naples, Florence, Venice, Milan, Switzerland, Paris and London where they were the guests of Mrs. Cotton's sister and brother-in-law, the Turner Laytons. The small group of Harlemites in London entertained for them. The Laytons gave a dinner party, the Leslie Hutchinsons a dinner and dancing party and Lelia Stubbs Proctor, by special request, cooked a plain American supper for them. As the guests of the Laytons, they attended the debut of Nora Holt at the Cafe de Paris. It was a grand affair, but minus the Prince of Wales. * * * Nell Hunter of Durham and John Payne of London, who have been on Concert tour in Europe, appeared on the artist-pupil program of their instructor in Vienna. On the front row in the audience sat no lesser personages than the Crown Prince of Germany and the Countess. After their numbers which were marvellously received, a note went back stage from the royal guests inviting Miss Hunter and Mr. Payne to tea the following af- ternoon. When the dancing started at the party that afternoon, Miss Hunter had the first dance with the Prince and Mr. Payne with the Countess. So, this is Vlenna. * * * The Berry Brothers gave an honest-to-goodness birthday party aboard the S.S. France for their mother. James even invigled a beautiful birthday cake out of the chef. There were the usual gifts and making of whoopee. * * * A'Lella Walker divided a hectic week between Atlantic City and Philadelphia. She arrived at her Harlem apartment Thursday and reported that all was gay on the Eastern Front. She made the trip in her Lincoln and when you discover that her Atlantic City hosts were Everett Johnson and Whittier Stallings and Mayme White her hostess in Philly, you need not be told that the whoopee was Grade A. * * * Eunice Shreeves, niece of the late Mr. and Mrs. Bert Williams, does not find teaching the junior high school girls at P. S. 136 sufficiently nerve racking. She has enrolled for a course in psychology at City College. Miss Shreeves is a member of the popular Girl Friends Club. \* \* \* Mme. Sara Spencer Washington, founder and sole owner of the Apex School of Beauty Culture, accompanied by her business manager, Archie Morgan, breezed into Harlem with a newbrand Studebaker President. Quite the ritz. The Apex people are preparing for their Annual Beauty Ball. * * * Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, founder of the Order of St. Lukes, and president of the St. Lukes Bank, and Mrs. Mary Binga of Richmond, were in Harlem. Tuesday, for a one-day conference. Mrs. Walker contemplates concentrating on a Harlem campaign and will open an apartment for the year. * * * Eva Hilton who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. M. R. Davis of Elizabeth, N. J., her brother, Dr. C. O. Hilton of Newark, N. J., and friends in New York City, left Friday for Washington, D. C., where she had been appointed Instructor in Educational Psychology at Howard University. Miss Hilton has her M. A. degree in Psychology and was a former professor of Psychology at Kittrell College, N. C. *** Hall Johnson, director and trainer of the famous Hall Johnson Negro Choir, pitched, tossed and otherwise threw a party at his apartment last Wednesday evening. The group was decidedly "mixed." Among the celebrities was Carl Van Vechten, who has returned from a summer abroad. *** Sam Manning, West Indian comedian of note, is back on the Avenue after an extended tour of the West Indies and Argentine. He opened Monday at the Lafayette Theatre. *** De La Mar Stanley, famed for his cars, coats and beautiful girl friends, came down from Canada last week with a black Cadillac with aluminum fenders and a gorgeous "gal." * * * Taylor Gordon's "Born to Be" is announced for the book shops next week. The publishers are Covici-Friede; Carl Van Vechten and Murid Draper have put their stamps of approval on it by way of forewords; and Covarrubias did the drawings. Ralph Barton gave him a tremendous send-off. Copies may be ordered at the Tattler Book shop. * * * Louis Cole came bearing gifts Saturday. A gorgeous green French calendar, ink well and a quill pen.

Mrs. Anderson will play the leading role in the first stock offering to be presented here by Harold Hevia, the new manager of the house, and it is called "7th Heaven." One of the most significant phases of the presentation before local theatre goers is the fact that "7th Heaven" delighted and thrilled the staid, cultured and dignified Bostonians for more than a year at the noted St. James Theatre in that city. The St. James Theatre, in case you don't know it, is one of the leading play houses in the city of Cabots and Lodges and Howells. The perfume of the town's aristocracy filled the atmosphere throughout every performance and the popularity of "7th Heaven" became so great that DON'T WAIT FOR WINTER'S ICY HAND ORDER COAL NOW! NO LONG WAITS DOBBINS COAL CO., Inc. 138th St. & Madison Ave. Harlem 4457—4458—4459 NO SHORT WEIGHTS ```markdown ``` fashionable social circles found themselves being classed as back numbers unless they included the play in their theatre parties. "7th Heaven" is a war drama, with the setting staged in Paris. Properly played it is thrilling from start to finish and, virtually holds an audience spellbound. With Mrs. Anderson in the stellar role one is inclined to believe that she will excel herself and portray the cringing, innocent and appealing Diane just as she appeared in real life. This is possible only when the actress learns and lives her part, just as Mrs. Anderson usually does. For the benefit of new comers to Harlem, it might be said here that Mrs. Anderson has repeatedly demonstrated her ability in some of the most difficult roles ever played by anyone in the theatre. It was she more than any other, perhaps, who made the far famed Lafayette Theatre Players noted and famous. Many of these players—in fact most all of them—are playing the principal roles in famous productions like "Porgy," now in its third year; "In Abraham's Bosom," "Show Boat," "Great Day," "The Song and Dance" and "Hearts in Dixie," the last named a picture in which Clarence Muse, one of the leading characters, is remembered best as a foremost member of the Lafayette Players. She was formerly seen in her greatest triumphs in such plays as "Within the Law," "Madame X" and several others whose names escape this reviewer at the present moment. Similar productions will be staged by the National Colored Players at the West End Theatre, it is stated by the management, so that those who like to recall to mind the wonderful dramatic ability of this great actress may satisfy that desire simply by making the trip to the West End with a party of friends once or twice a week. At least it is the modest opinion of this reviewer that your time will be well spent. At The Douglas There may be finer speaking voices than those heard in "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney," Norma Shearer's all-talking starring picture, which will be at the New Douglas Theatre this Saturday to Tuesday, but we haven't any idea where they may be found. Miss Shearer who proved her supremacy as a star of the talking screen in "The Trial of Mary Dugan" repeats the splendid impression that she made at that time The cast has been most carefully chosen and presents leading names of both stage and screen, and every part, regardless of how small, stands out with remarkable clarity and does much credit to each performer. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, that popular American fruit, the razzberry, comes to the fore in "From Headquarters," a special Vitaphone production, starring Monte Blue, and is the means of starting a feud that has a great bearing on the entire story.

And were the Emperor living today there is one man in Harlem to whom he would have to give a wide berth. Bill Robinson, ex-Blackbird and midnite show promoter de-luxe, has gold bullets in his gun now. And more than that, Bo has a gold gun. This is THE FASHION WEEK NORA HOLT RAY, who is starring in a European vehicle patterned along the lines adopted by her in real life on this side of the Atlantic. 'Tis said that among her distinguished audience was none other than the Prince of Wales himself. no secret since the cops gave it to him themselves, permit and all. This is how it came about, it may bore you to know.— At the outing of the 32nd Precinct boys this summer two of the cops were seriously injured during an entramural baseball game. Both were laid up several weeks, as a matter of fact neither has been able to report for duty yet. Bojangles, who stands in well with the 135th Street outfit, and was the Precinct guest at the time of the accident, got it in his head that it would be a beau geste to stage a midnight show for the casuals. As is his habit, he put the thing over big and collected nearly a grand for the injured bluecoats. So Sunday night past, at midnight, Lieut. Cohen presented the Bo with the fore-mentioned Gold Gun and a dozen shining gold bullets. Adelaide Hall, Mrs. Bill Robinson, Bill Ashe, Charlie Johnson, Small's Orchestra Leader and several of Bill's intimates were present. Bo made the Lieut. a present of his old gat, and told friend wife: "Dear, you ought to be tickled to get shot with a gold gun like this." Three years ago the White Plains policemen gave Robinson a gold police whistle.

(on the 2nd floor) Bank Building Booths for Rent to Experienced Operators SYPHILIS is the cause of general paresis or paralysis. Autopsy reveals that the brain as a that the brain as a whole is shrunken with marked degenerative changes. The general distrubance of nutrition is shown in diseased and degenerated conditions of various other organs, particularly the kidneys. The changes in the brain and spinal column are responsible for the psy- chosis of the patient. Abnormal types of personality are more apt to develop paresis following syphilitic infection. The disorder of mind must be a disorder of that which existed before and therefore the character of the mental symptoms is directly dependent upon the type of individual. The destructive syphilitic process produces as it advances an ever increasing mental inefficiency which is compensated for in the only possible way because of its organic basis, namely by delusions. The patient begins to build up delusions of power to compensate for the progressing weakness and these delusions increase in improbility as the destructive process results in increased mental weakness. Real inefficiency is compensated by an effort to think himself efficient, efficiency is sought to be brought about by thinking hard enough that it is really so, results are sought by thinking of them as attained—the "all-powerfulness of thought." The interpretation of the mental symptoms of paresis may be approached from several angles, and a specialist in psychiatry is required in the majority of the cases.

To go to the movies has become the swankie thing. There has arisen, therefore, the great problem of where to find the best and most interesting of pictures and the most comfortable house in which to enjoy them. Harlem's problem will be solved with the opening next week of the Community Cinema at 612 Lenox Avenue, between 140th and 141st Streets. The Community Cinema under the direction of the Community Cinema Corporation will be dedicated to films as an art. The latest products of color photography, the foreign pictures, educational films, and American premiers will be offered in the most attractive surroundings. The house which seats only five hundred, has been beautifully decorated and equipped with the finest of sound and projection apparatus. It brings to its patrons the last word in films and atmosphere. To add that final intimate touch, coffee and cigarettes will be served gratis in the lounge. The Community Cinema, whose opening date will be announced in the next issue, will make its debut with the proper fanfare of distinguished speakers and guests and a program de luxe, presenting an animated cartoon, Fox Movietone News, an educational short and Shiraz, the sensational technicolor picture made in India. Fifth Avenue, 55th and 57th Streets have come to Harlem. SPOTLIGHTBALL Under the Auspices of the A. & W. I. NEWS Featuring RUDY VALLEE and 3 World Famous Orchestras 1.

The Theatre WILFRED BAIN, Theatrical Editor At The Lafayette Jack Johnson's "Crazy Quilt Revue," is the hilarious offering at the Lafayette this week, with the famed ex-world champion taking a leading part and pulling many hands for his efforts. "Crazy Quilt Revue," is exactly what the name implies, if not more so and to our way of thinking Sam Manning, former publisher and editor who has just returned from the West Indian Islands, is craziest of all those who appear on the bill. The former publisher offers a smooth and laugh provoking dialogue which causes many of the audience to poke his next neighbor in the ribs, without so much as a mild introduction as to just who that neighbor might be—man or woman; for according to one of the funniest bits offered by the comedian, "hasn't a man the right to tickle people's ribs until he finds the rib most suitable to his manner of tickling?" Well, anyway, Manning says he was arrested for trying and was discharged when the judge heard his side of the story, so that's that. But Manning is not the whole show inspite of all the blah above. He is ably supported by a number of well known local stars among them being, Maud Russell, yes, "The Slim Princess," if you will, Frazier and Green, Freddie Robinson, Dewey Winglass, Geo. Phillips, Charlie Gibbs, Monette Moore and Jessie Crawford. Incidentally it might be stated that Jessie Crawford, whose stage career has suffered in the past for the want of proper direction, executed her part with a degree of finesse which was a revelation to this reviewer. Those steps and that neat costume was just too bad. Of course Miss Russell did well as she usually does and regular patrons of the Lafayette would be greatly surprised if she did not. Another member of the cast whose work while brief was decidedly well done was the young lady who answered the phone. She knew just how to register disapproval with a husband who had seen better days—or was it because her 'back door man' was so much sweeter? Whatever it was that caused her to treat her husband so rudely must be seen to be appreciated. MUSICAL COMEDIES :::: TALKING PICTURES LAFAYETTE 75 AVE. OLD ST. THIS WEEK ONLY HIS LAST APPEARANCE AS A FIGHTER JACK JOHNSON and the Riotous, Gorgeous 'CRAZY QUILT REVUE' Also RICHARD BARTHELMESS IN THE TALKING PICTURE '‘DRAG’’ NEXT WEEK—BEGINNING MONDAY, OCTOBER 7 THE WORLD'S GREATEST CORNETIST LOUIS ARMSTRONG In a big musical revue with CHAPELLE & STENNETTE also GRETA GARBO in “THE SINGLE STANDARD” The moving picture is called the "Drag," with Richard Barthelmess taking the part of a struggling editor of a country newspaper At The Alhambra In "The Love Thief" at the Alhambra Theatre this week is told a dramatic true story such as happens only too often in real life. And it is spiced up with amusing situations all the way through. The young wife of a traveling man, left alone for weeks at a time, falls for the flattery of a would-be John Gilbert, and after exciting episodes, finds her home wrecked. One surprise follows another, ending in the discomfiture of the "four-fluusher" and the re-union, of the young couple. Edna Harris and Ted. Blackman are the pair, separated for a time by the wiles of S. H Dudley, Jr., as the lying "sheik." Hazelle Van Vlerah, Bessie Wrightson, Thomas Moseley and Al F. Watts have parts that lend comedy interest to the main plot. "The Parisian Revue" has glimpses of the glittering frivolities of the French capital and a cast including several who have lately returned from triupmhs abroad. It starts with the Parisiana dances, and, after various comic skits and diversions, continues in a gay cabaret in Montmartre. Bubber Miley, wizard of the cornet, brilliantly renders the "Todelo" which he has so successfully played for the records and is obliged to play again and again for the clamoring audience. This former soloist with Duke Ellington is unquestionably one of the world's great cornetists. The Eclipse Three do some remarkable eccentric and tap dances, and the Little Four, a quartette of girls, have an attractive number. Emmett Anthony, Crackshot Hackley, Hezekiah Jenkins and Manda Randolph keep the fun going at a speedy pace, and the Alhambra Night-Hawks Band outdoes itself in the cabaret frivolities. Ricardo (Cortez is the picture star in "The Grain of Dust" At the Wednesday midnight show Monarch Lodge of Elks will have a theatre party of several hundred members and friends. The image shows two individuals in a defensive stance, likely preparing to engage in a physical confrontation. They are wearing white trousers and appear to be in a dimly lit environment, possibly a hall or a room with a dark background. The focus of the image is on their posture and the direction of their gaze, suggesting they are aware of their surroundings.

These boys hailing from Chicago, are appearing at the Palace Theatre through the week of Sept. 28th. Have played Publix Circuit, now touring R. K. O., also a year's run in Connie's Inn Nite Club. At The Roosevelt As the premier showing in Harlem, the management of the Roosevelt Theatre will bring to its audible screen this Saturday, Sunday and Monday, October 5, 6 and 7, the 100 per cent all talking mystery-thriller, "The House of Secrets."

Friday, October 4, 1929 HAROLD HEVIA PRESENTS PLAYERS IN STOCK AT "7th Heaven" Chosen by Ne of First Class For the first time in the history of the theatre in New York, the West End Theatre, famed in the past as one of the leading stock houses in the city, will throw open its doors to colored performers andatrons beginning Monday, October 11. The National Colored Players, under the direction of Harold Levia, who will manage the theatre, will offer as its initial effort with Heaven," one of the most thrilling dramas ever produced on broadway. IDA ANDERSON, one of the Dramatic Stars, who will make West End Theatre, off 125th Street the Ida Anderson Dramatic Play October 7th, will find many of her and send her off to a flying star No longer will theatre-goers find it necessary to take the long, tiresome journey down town to see a 'good show' because the West End Theatre and the National Colored Players will satisfy that craving by presenting the latest and best Broadway productions. The theatre itself is just a few steps this side of Amsterdam Avenue and may be reached by 125th Street crossown cars, or taxis, depending upon your pocketbook and your time. Harold Hevia, who will manager the house, is no stranger to Harlem. He was for sometime manager of the Alhambra Theatre, just before that house changed hands. In addition he has acted in a similar capacity at the Bushwick in Brooklyn and the Orpheum. At one time he was the personal manager of the noted star, Guy Bates Post, who did some of his best work in Omar Kyaam. For the past ten years he has been the producer of Chain Theatre Stock Companies in some of the principal cities. For his National Colored Players Company, Mr. Hevia has sensed the demand for excellent talent and has chosen Mrs. Ida Anderson, well known local favorite, to head an all-star cast. Mrs. Anderson will play the leading role in "7th Heaven" beginning Monday and while we do not care to pose as a prophet never-the-less the feeling remains that she will give a good account of herself. --- WESTEND THEATRE 125 ST AT ST.

Love and romance are the two guiding elements in the drama, which starts in the streets of Paris and has a happy but rather strange ending in an attic. Forced by her sister to dispose of stolen goods Diane is met on one of these occasions by Chico, who has ambitions to become a street sweeper in Paris. He invites her to his home which happens to be atop of a tower overlooking the wide avenues of the city. Just as the two are beginning to get better ac- the leading and most popular like her appearance at the famed Street, next week at the head of Players. The opening night, her followers present to welcome art. quainted the war broke out and Chico is called to defend his dear France. Meantime Diana remains behind, even as thousands of others did and courageously worked in behalf of the soldiers. A most pathetic incident happens when the news is conveyed to Diane that her new found lover is wounded and perhaps may die. Grief-stricken she kneels down to pray in his behalf amid thunder and lightening. After many days of anguish, of dissappointing news and after all hope had gone Chico returned to his lover just in time to prevent her being spirited away by a notorious Paris rogue, who pretended that he wanted to marry her. Coupled with many startling developments the above description will serve to give an idea of what may be expected in "7th Heaven." If any further criterion is needed to convey the proper appreciation we take the liberty to quote the words of several leading critics as follows: "The emotion which the play produced in us was excitement. We felt as shaken and stirred as if we had seen a touchdown. The most exciting thing that has happened to us in the theatre. The play tramps irresistably. It is more humorous than sentimental, more thrilling than theatrical." Heywood Broun.

These young gentlemen have an orchestra of twelve, playnig an engagement at the Knickerbocker Grill on Broadway. The contract for this engagement calls for ten weeks of entertainment, dinner and dance music. It is the dinner music that caused the white habituants of the grill to doubt the ability of colored musicians to successfully hold the engagement. The orchestra opened last Saturday and more than pleased the patrons. They held them spell-bound because the musicians played soft, sweet and snappy dance music, they entertained with songs and dances that pleased and played selections for the dinner hour with feeling and wonderful interpretation. Messrs. Thomas and Gibbs have a good opportunity with this engagement to make it possible to open up Broadway for the colored musicians, as it once was opened. There is one interesting thing about the contract. It stipulates that the entertainers are to receive compensation for their work, and everyone is receiving UNION scale. * * * Tom Fletcher is quite a busy man these days. Tom manages to keep his entertaining group busy. His bunch consists of Bernardin Brown. George Jackson, Carl White and Alonzo Brown. Writing of bookers who keep busy we must mention Ford Dabney and Lucky Roberts who specialize in entertaining society. * * * And we cannot forget Deacon Johnson who not only has a successful booking business but has a music store on Edgecombe Avenue and 145th Street. Bookers may come and bookers may go, but the Deacon goes on forever. Can't keep a good man down. It certainly was a shock to us to learn of Robert George's death, Sunday, September 22. George was driving to work and when within two blocks of his destination, he was hit by a person driving a Cadillac. His car was a Ford sedan and being lighter than the Cadillac was turned over. George was killed instantly. The victim was a member of the Clarke's Orchestra and considered a very good drummer. He leaves to mourn their loss, a mother, wife, two sisters and a host of relatives and friends. * * * Leon Gross, who is invading the Harlem dance field with a jam-up orchestra, set them wild at the Osbiny Club dance on Friday night, September 27, before a packed casino, now known as Rockland Casino but formerly Manhattan. * * * Harry Prampin is to be congratulated on the success of his music school. We feel certain that with the experience which Mr. Prampin has had no one is better fitted to successfully carry on such good work. * * * Walter Tedrington, who found favor on Ole Broadway in Jack Wilson's Revue, made 'em like it last week down in New Orleans at Loew's State Theatre where the Revue opened September 21 and closed last Saturday. Mr. Tedrington, who is the brother of Ernest Tedrington, Supreme Worthy Counsellor of Calanthe (female Pythians), duplicated his New York popularity among the Creoles. While in the Creole City, Mr. Tedrington was lavishly entertained and was the house guest of E. Belfield Spriggins, society editor of The Louisianna Weekly. He was also the dinner guest at the home of Professor Osceola Blanket, musician and Assistant Principal of the New Orleans High School, and was also entertained at the home of Dr. B. F.

What a gay week for the Elm City, still more dances on Monday evening.

J. C. DELANO, Founder of "COCO-TAR" Several years ago, in Gold Valley, California, two boys were playing a game of rock battle, and accidentally struck a middle-aged woman. Dr. J. C. Delano (the founder of the World Famous Blood Medicine Herbs of Life) was called in to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured skull and concussion of the brain. Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days the patient was not only completely cured but her hair over the bruised spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so that the doctor questioned her as to what was it that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was: that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of the hair, and after experimenting for twenty-seven months Dr. Delano was the Train bearer; little Miss Winfred Shinner, niece of the bride, was the ring bearer. Mr. Henry Williams was best man; Mrs. Louise Tywman, who wore a flowered chiffon creation, with an orchid hat, sang "Oh Promise Me," and "I Love You." Following the ceremony a reception was held in the reception room of the church. Abundance of useful gifts were received. Mr. and Mrs. Gray left on a honeymoon to Philadelphia, Washington, D. C., and New York and will be home at 14 Pearl Street, Waterbury, Conn., after the 15th of October. * * * Mr. Lewis Thrash has returned to New Haven after a three month stay in Detroit, Mich. \* \* \* Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Saunders returned to Ann Arbor, Mich.

After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been of phenomenal and uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research he discovered that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom die. Remove the infected Sebum and the hair will grow—for science has shown that under most bald scalps the hair roots live.

Although the coaches were not exactly satisfied with the showing, several of the veterans showed up wonderfully well. Captain Butler was a consistant ground gainer for the varsity line-up while McManus “All-American” End of last year stopped everything coming around his end. At the first of the season, Coach Meeks received word that Buford, ace backfield man of last year, would not be available this year because of a pro- longed illness this summer. Later in the week, however, Buford received the doctor’s O. K. and donned his mole- skins and reported to the squad amidst much hilarity.

"With this engagement which lasted over two years, "7th Heaven" surpasses the totals piled up by 'The First Year,' 'Three Wise Fools,' 'Turn to the Right' and the earlier Golden Successes, with the sole exception of 'Lightnin', which ran for three years. '7th Heaven' was written by Austin Strong, author of "Three Wise Fools.' Boston Daily Advertiser." "It is dramatic, humorous, romantic. It is laid in an unusual setting, a black slum of Paris, and yet it has moments of surpassing beauty. One moment it is terrorized in the grip of fear, but not for long, for shortly it buds into a most beautiful romance."—The Whipper, Chicago. skin ing Appeal Whitener Ointment is the best way to clear, lighten flexion—clearing away heads without the least tender skin.

Miss Servina Saunders, a Sunday School teacher and church worker, is representing New Rochelle. Representing Newark and the Oranges is Miss Esther Garland, who is a choir singer and organist. COURAGE The courage of physical combat is common— Moral courage is greater and uncommon. It takes moral courage to stick to the narrow path of self-improvement. Don’t weaken—it is never too late to start saving systematically. The DUNBAR NATIONAL BANK of New York Page Sixteen Philadelphia, Rival N $100 Goes Begging While Advantage of T AS in past years rivalry between Eastern seaboard as to which the Lincoln-Howard Football Game ginning to manifest itself. During the past week nominations have been made from Newark, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, with Atlantic City still to be heard from. Won't some little girl from the World's Playground fill the niche made memorable by the splendid work of Miss Daisy Henderson in last year's contest? Atlantic City and Philadelphia have yet to furnish a winner in the Tattler's contests. Philadelphia has tried and tried hard but the best the Quaker City has done so far is to finish fifth. Miss Doris Wilson held the colors of the City of Brotherly Love aloft in the 1926 "Queen of the Classic" for a brief space of time only to loose the lead and finish fifth when her support crumbled. So far Philadelphia has two candidates. As to whether either one or both will finish among the five prize winners remains to be seen. Miss Rosa M. Lewis and Miss Francisca Galloway are the rival candidates. It is just possible, too, that a much smaller municipality than those above mentioned will show sufficient civic pride to enable their candidate to win the first prize, or at least finish "in the money." We are referring now to towns like New Rochelle, N. Y., Flushing, Corona and Ja- malca, L. I., Belleville, N. J., and New wood, N. J., and Montclair from bov Miss Servina Saunders, a Sunday S representing New Rochelle. Repre Miss Esther Garland, who is a choi Mrs. Bessie Williams is doing the same thing for Belleville, N. J., many of whose residents have never heard of The Tattler, and who will be glad to have an opportunity to subscribe and vote for a favorite daughter at the same time. Miss Edna Barnes is representing Cedar Manor, L. I. Miss Barnes is apt to make a clean-up of those Long Island towns, if she goes forward with the same degree of determination and enthusiasm she showed when she entered the contest. Up to this stage of the contest two rather remarkable incidents stand out. Oue is the fact that two of the girls who started in last year's "Queen of the Classic," have decided to try their luck again and the other is the further The courage of phy mon— Moral courage is gre ```markdown ``` fact that no local club has actually signed up to back any candidate in the contest and neither has any club entered a candidate. This last is most remarkable when it is remembered that The Tattler offers $100 in club prizes to be divided first, second and third, should they push their candidate in any of the first three positions at the finish. Is it possible that the local clubs have been made rich over-night and do not need such small change? The young ladies who have re-entered the contest and from whom much is expected are the Misses Esme Birbeck of the Lincoln Secretarial School and Miss Wilmetta Jackson, who although at the present time an usher at the Alhambra Theatre is studying to become a school teacher. Miss Ruby Rosetta Thibou, secretary to the Javan A. Steele Plumbing Company, is also an active worker. Bessie Latimore, manicurist, at Mae Brown's Beauty Shop, is another entrant. So is also Misses Muriel Nicholson, Odessa Jackson, Julia Ryan, M. Camille Evans, Textile High School, Nathalie Macklin, N. Y. Academy of Business, Marguerite Cochrane and Gladys Webster of the Lenox Club. Miss Edna Young, a member of the Alhambra chorus and participant in principal roles, has the best wishes of a host of friends. Summed up the 10 LILLIAN PAGE, "Miss Howard" of 1928. Entering the race for the coveted honor and glory that goes with the winning of the "Queen of the Classic" title in the middle of the contest, Miss Page jumped from last to second place and came within a few votes of finishing ahead of Thelma Yancey who won first prize. Will some other candidate emulate her example this year? present "Queen of the Classic" contest has some of the finest representatives of feminine charm and grace to be found anywhere. As to which of these is the most popular only the end of the contest will answer that question. Suffice it to say that none of those now in the contest will leave any stone unturned to convince their friends that they are in the race to stay unto the end-be it bitter or sweet. The battle is on in real earnest for the leadership of the contest. By this time next week we will all know who is going to attain the coveted leading position, because the official standing will be published. Readers of The Tattler will watch with interest the jockeying for positions which each candidate will attempt. Votes through subscriptions will count and the first period will end next Saturday, October 12th. How many candidates will have received fifteen one-year subscriptions or the equivalent? How many will be entitled to the extra 25,000 votes which we are offering? Get, busy girls and see all of your friends. Everyone of them should be a Tattler subscriber. Everyone of them should give YOU a few thousand votes. The politicians will tell you that "every vote counts," we are here to say that "every two thousand votes" count. Beginning this Sunday between the hours of two and six o'clock all candidates are requested to make their weekly report and every Sunday thereafter until the end of the contest, except the last week of the contest when candidates are requested to report on Saturday, not later than 12 o'clock midnight. Out-of-town candidates have been advised by letter how to make their report. Address all communications, Inter-State Tattler,200 West 135th Street, attention Contest Editor. And now I bid you adieu.
