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

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.

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.

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.

AFTER fashion shows and fashion shows, all of the same hue and color, the Osbiny Club, Inc., composed of those popular Harlem beau-brummels, stepped out Friday with a male fashion review that was quite the thing. 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.

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.

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. Incidentally, his

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.

At The Lafayette
Jack Johnson’s “Crazy Quilt Re-
vue,” is the hilarious offering at
the Lafayette this week, with the
famed ex-world champion taking a
Jeading 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
Yndian Islands, is craziest of all
those who appear on the Dill. The
former publisher offers a smooth
and langh provoking dialogue
which causes many of the audi-
ence 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 com-
edian, “hasn’t a man the-right to
‘tickle people’s ribs until he finds
the rib most suitable to his man-
ner 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 num-
ber 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. Inci-
dentally it might be stated that
Jessie Crawford, whose stage ca-
reer has suffered in the past for
the want of proper direction, ex-
ecuted 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 regu-
lar patrons of the Lafayette would
be greatly surprised if she did not.
Another member of the cast
whose work while brief was decid-
edly well done was the young lady
who answered the phone. She
knew just how to register disap-
proval with a husband who had
seen better days—or was it be
cause her ‘back door man’ was so
much sweeter? Whatever it was
that caused her to treat her hus-
band so rudely must be seen to
be appreciated.
The moving picture is called the
“Drag,” with Richard Barthelmess
taking the part of a struggling edi-
tor of a country newspaper
At The Alhambra
In “The Love Thief” at the Al-
hambra Theatre this week is told
a dramatic true story such as hap
pens only too often in real lite.
And it is spiced up with amusing
situations all the way through.
The young wife of a taveling
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-flusher” 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 glimp-
ses of the glittering frivolities of
the French capital and a cast in-
cluding several who have lately re-
turned from triupmhs abroad. It
starts with the Parisiana dances,
and, after various comic skits and
diversions, continues in a gay cab-
aret in Montmartre.
Bubber Miley, wizard of the cor-
net, brilliantly renders the “Tode-
lo” 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 re-
markable 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 go-
ing at a speedy pace, and the Al-
hambra Night-Hawks Band out-
does itself in the cabaret frivol-
ities.

At The Roosevelt
As the premier showing in Har-
lem, the management of the Roose-
velt Theatre will bring to its audi-
ble screen this Saturday, Sunday
and Monday, October 5, 6 and 7,
the 100 per. cent all talking mys-
tery-thriller, “The House of
Secrets.”
“The House of Secrets” is a
gripping drama of the workings of
Scotland Yard when that famous
institution is faced by a baffling
mystery. It was a successful stage
play and has now been transferred
to the screen, enacted by a fine
cast of experienced legitimate
stage players.
Backstage

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.

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

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.

I is with a source of picasure that
we write about an old friend and
pal, Arthur Gibbs and a Mr. Thomas
whom we do not know but with whom
Gibbs is associated .. These young
gentlemen have an orchestra of twelve,
playnig an engagement at the Knicker-
bocker Grill on Broadway . The con-
tract 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 en-
sagement.
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 in-
terpretation.
-Messrs. Thomas and Gibbs have a
good opportunity with this engage-
ment 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. « :

From a recent portrait of
DR. 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 re-
sults; 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 ques-
tioned her as to what was it that
she had been using on her hair
during the treatment. Her re-
ply 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 tne Train bearer; little Misa Win-
fred Shinner, nicce 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. Abund-
ance 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 Ovtober. ‘

announced that he had discov-
ered a certain herb, which when
macerated with certain chemic-
als, and mixed together with
pure Cocoanut Oil and Califor-
nia Pine Tar, would produce a
healthy, luxuriant growth of
hair.
After finding that the experi-
ment had proved successful in
ninety-nine out of one hundred
cases, Dr. Delano placed his pre-
paration on the market under the
name of Dr. Delano’s Coco-Tar
Hair Grower. From that day un-
til the present time the sale has
been of phenomenal and unin-
‘terrupted 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 sci-
ence has shown that under most
bald scalps the hair roots live.

T HE sudden departure of Teddy Baldock for

of the mighty little men who hit the scale in the
neighborhood of 119 pounds. It marked the sec-

doughty little ‘Blighter’ next Summer.

Scotch bard, the plans of men and mice ofttimes

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. He started right in
with his spectacular punting workouts
—every attempt averaging better than
fifty yards.

"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."

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

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.

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.
