Y. Phone: Edgeoombe 6661. Entered as second class matter February 26, 1926, at the Post Office in New York, N. Y., under the act of March 8, 1878. Subscription rate $3.50 per year. Vol. V. No. 42. Friday, Oct. 18, 1929 Friday, October 18, 1929 Negro B THIS is the day of the trust, syndicate and association. There is no other way to survive in the commercial world. Through business associations, mergers and consolidations merchants are enabled to purchase goods in greater bulk and thus at a lower price. This means that they can also sell cheaper than the independent, individualistic merchant and at the same time realize a larger profit. Then, too, through these co-operative efforts, merchants come to know the other people in their line, their latest schemes for improving merchandise display, store management, record-keeping and advertising, to say nothing of attracting new customers by better service, and solving the numerous other problems that arise from time to time to plague the merchant. What one hasn't experienced, the other has, and so, when these associated merchants get together either in the flash or through the medium of weekly bulletins and reports or by employing an efficiency expert to give them the benefit of his contacts with all of them, they gain tremendously. Chain Stores Increase Sales The store chains are gaining every day because they are operated on the basis of co-operation rather than competition. At the present time almost half the sales in this country are made in chain stores. During the first nine months of 1929, the store chains experienced an increase of over 27 per cent in sales over the same period in 1928. This gain is due to cheaper, better service, superior quality of goods and scientific study of salesmanship and buyer psychology. Human beings are just human beings no matter how they may differ in color, creed or nationality. Most human beings are poor working people who do not get much salary. They must eat, wear clothes, live somewhere. They must be careful how, when and where they spend their money because they have so little of it, they want the best their money will buy and they appreciate courtesy and consideration from the people with whom they spend their money. It is almost axiomatic that people will spend their money where they can get the best goods, the most goods and the greatest consideration and courtesy at the lowest price. Foolish Negro Merchants This is as true of Negroes as it is of Caucasians. Very foolishly many Negro business men think Negroes ought to patronize a store because it is owned by a Negro. It may not be in the right place, the goods in it may not be properly and handily arranged, the store may not be clean, the clerks may not give proper service and the prices may be higher than those in a white-owned store, and yet this particular type of Negro businessman feels that Negroes should patronize him because he is a Negro. There are, of course, many Negro-owned business establishments that leave little to be desired in the way of cleanliness, location and service, but invariably their prices are too high. And there is the rock upon which they ultimately founder. Negroes will not patronize a Negor store, all other things being equal, unless its prices are on a level with those at a white store nearby. Some will but most will not. Thus, it is clear that if Negro business is to survive, it must not only give equal service with white business but equal price as well. The fact that some Negro businesses have survived with poor service and exorbitant prices does not prove that they will continue to survive. The Business League Survey In 1928 the National Negro Business League made a survey of Negro business in 33 Southern cities, covering 2,817 enterprises which gave employment to 17,697 persons. The largest single group was the grocery stores comprising 19 per cent of the total and employing over 1600 emyloyes with an average of 3.06 per store. One hundred and forty-eight of these stores reported that "BROWNLIGHT BEAUTIES" Readers of Inter-State Tattler will shortly see photos of young women who have become beautiful and more charming through usage of BROWNLIGHT PRODUCTS. Watch carefully each week for these beauties, who have followed the lead of Ethel Waters, and other stars in maintaining the bloom of youth. --- B ALVIN J. MOSES, Editor. Published Friday of every week by the Inter-State T matter February 26, 1926, at the Post Office in New York, Colored Merchants Face Severe Competition By SAMUEL I. BROOKS chains were their chief competitors. Thirty-nine of the 187 drug stores complained that chain drug stores were their chief competitors. They survey disclosed that most of these Negro business establishments were very deficient in record-keeping, a most important side of commercial enterprise. It says "More than one-half of the stores, 1,639, have only the single entry system of bookkeeping. This represents 59 per cent of the total. Three hundred seventy-one or 13.5 per cent employ double entry system. Seven hundred thirty-nine or 27 per cent have cash registers; and 35 or 1.1 per cent use the Manifold System. Four hundred twenty-one or 15.2 per cent reported that they kept no records at all. Two hundred nineteen or 7.9 per cent did not give any information as to the system of bookkeeping which they need." This explains partially why Negro business is so far behind. Unless store records are kept up-to-date and in the latest approved manner, how can a merchant know where he stands? And how can he hope to successfully compete with the efficient chain store across the way with its expert accountants and inventory takers?

Editor's Note 73 Negro Groceries 73 Negro Groceries In Negro Harlem there are 73 grocery stores owned and operated by Negroes. This will be surprising to many but it is true. Yet, these 73 Negro grocery stores do not do nearly as much business as the 24 Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company's stores, the 17 James Butler stores, the 7 L. Oppenheimer stores, the 4 Congress 5-and-10 stores and the 2 Chester Food stores. These 54 white-owned chain stores employing but 26 Negroes (mostly errand boys) probably get three or four times as much trade as the 73 Negro stores employing over 100 Negroes. Is this due to lack of race patriotism? Do Negroes in Harlem pass by the Negro stores and enter the white store through mere perversity? Are these Negro consumers consciously trying to make Negro business fail? Not at all. They are interested in seeing Negro business flourish but they are unwilling to see it flourish at their expense. The individual must look out, and does look out, for himself first. He goes to the nearest, most convenient, cleanest and cheapest store. In most instances this happens to be a chain store and owned by white people. What Jimmy Walker Said Mayor James J. Walker stated recently in the Lafayette Theatre that colored business ought to be owned by colored people; that it was surprising to ride down the streets of black Harlem and find the majority of the business establishments owned and operated by whites who do not live in the district. The Negro audience had to agree with him. It is a disgraceful situation. Yet, nothing whatever can be done about it unless Negro business men adopt the tactics of their competitors and associate themselves together to get better wholesale prices, learn more about service and record-keeping and get wise to the modern methods of attracting customers. This is the key to the whole matter. Negro business in Harlem and elsewhere is faced with the alternative of Cooperation and Success or Non-cooperation and Failure. ALLY IT - BROWNLIGHT IN SPOIL YOUR GOOD TIMES. OUR CREAM DOES WONDERS IN S. THE RESULTS WILL ASTOUND YOU. COME IN AND GET T DRUG STORES AND BEAUTY T MANUFACTURING Albon Holsey and James A. Jackson No one understands the problem confronting the Negro business men of the United States better than Albon L. Holsey, Secretary of the National Negro Business League, and James A. Jackson of the Domestic Commerce Division of the United States Department of Commerce. They are going about the country telling and showing Negro business men how to meet and beat the competition of the chain stores. Mr. Holsey, with the assistance of Mr. Jackson, has successfully organized associations of Negro grocers in Montgomery, Alabama, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and Tulsa, Okla. The C. M. A. (Colored Merchants' Association) Stores they have organized are prospering in spite of the competition of the chain stores because they have themselves become chain stores through the adoption of the policy of cooperative buying and supervision of display, record-keeping and advertising. A fortnight ago Mr. Holsey arrived in New York City to see what could be done to help the Negro grocers there. Mr. Jackson accompanied him. An office and assembly room was rented in the Dunbar Apartment building at 2S14 Eighth Avenue. Gold lettering soon appeared on the window and the place quickly took on a very business-like appearance, what with flat-top desks, gate to inner sanctum, stenographer and file cases. The New York Campaign The Negro grocers were notified and meetings have been held on an average of twice a week. These meetings are a revelation and a stimulation to the harrassed merchants. They are told things about accounting, display, service, cleanliness and buying power that they never knew before. More, they are shown how to do the things that will enable them to meet the prices charged by the chain stores and attract more and more customers. Before Mr. Holsey leaves, he will probably select some Negro's store for remodeling into a Model Grocery Store as he has done in the other cities where he has put over the C. M. R. Stores. The New York grocers are enthusiastic. They now see a way out. They realize that they have a good chance to capture the bulk of the retail trade in Harlem by the adoption of cooperative methods. For the first time, also, they have come face to face with the genial Mr. Loomis of the Dunbar National Bank and have learned how willing this great financial institution, which employs a score of Negro tellers and clerks, stands ready to assist them with credit when they become thoroughly organized and pool their resources, information, experience and intelligence to successfully meet the problem confronting them. The trouble with Negro business in the past and at present lies in it's Mid-Victorian individualism that impels the merchant to attempt to go it alone. If it continues to nourish this philosophy it cannot survive. Happily, adversity is making it see the light; adversity and Messrs. Holsey and Jackson. If it will follow the advice of these two men, it has little or nothing to fear from the store chains. Certainly there is no reason on earth why the 73 Negro grocery stores in Harlem should not do at least as much business at the 54 chain grocery stores owned by whites. In conclusion, it might be well for our Negro merchants to ponder the words of H. Gordon Selfridge, the great London merchant, on successful selling: "The secret of selling successfully to women is to have your employees treat them as they would want to be treated if they were on the other side of the counter. . . "Women want courtesy. . . . "By making our employees happy we are able to please our customers. When people have a fair chance they are pleasant. When clerks and sales people are unpleasant it is the fault of the management."

They actually played too, in spite of the fact that Harold Jackman, McCleary Stinnette, Hugh Reevis and E. H. Conyers were sitting about, sipping and wanting to dance. It turned out, however, that the real business of the whole affair was to show the new penant which is a clever article.

He is an Ape and member in good standing of the BYOL. Voila! The party took a fresh start. As Jean Rolden Smith put it—youth is beautiful and the party was really a convention of "good-haired men." A card from Paris tells me that Beatrice Cooper is again "Over seas". She trots back and forth from Chicago like nobody's business. Her better half is the sweet singing Opal Cooper, one of the idols of Paris. * * * A belated card from the Robert Abbots brought the message that they liked Italy very much and that Lido was really too nice to leave. Joe College, Terrence Williams, has returned from Buffalo, and is he glad to be back in. You should ask me. He brings the correct Buffalo slang—"snow." meaning ofay; "I ain't coming." meaning I don't want to do something. The Avon Tennis Club presented its formal prom Wednesday evening at the Renaissance ballroom. Royal blue and white, the Avon colors, were much in evidence and the whoopee was excellent. * * * The Fifth Annual Recital of Thelma Brunson's music pupils was held at the Renaissance Casino Thursday evening, October 11. Too much praise cannot be given this splendid young woman for the work which she is doing in Harlem among our young folk. The casino was packed to overflowing with New York's most representative people who came in appreciation of Miss Brunson and her work. Miss Doris Trottman as guest artist-soloist, opened with Dawn by Curran and Sweetheart by Powell. Miss Trottman, who won from 300 contestants the gold medal at Carnegie Hall a few years ago, has established herself as one of our most gifted singers. Her voice is of an unusual quality and her interpretation and renditions are always delightful. She is soloist in St. James Church under Dr. Melville Charlton. * * * Mrs. Carolyn Clark, mother of Langston Hughes, entertained in honor of Mrs. Myrtle Griffith of Kansas City, Thursday, October 11. Dancing and whoopee went on until the yawning. Among the revellers were: Grace White, Blanche Berry, Helen Brown, Rebecca Stiles Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. A. Mickins, Irene Barksdale, Hall Johnson, A. Warner, Service Bell, Roland Timmins, Vincent dei Sola, Hugo Bornn and Bob Douglass. * * * Countee Cullen's "Black Christ," published by Harper and Co., Paris, France, is expected in America by November 1. * * * Langston Hughes has established a residence in the quietness of West End. N. J., where he hopes to resume his writings for magazines. \* \* \* Clinton Moore had the usual Saturday night jamborce. If possible, more people than ever before. The lady of the evening was the exotic Alberta Pryme, who puts over a song like nobody's business. The whole affair was very exhilirating. * * * Vera Green and Sue Harris of Chicago motored East for a holiday in Harlem. Lady Harris was at the wheel. And she loved it. \* \* \* Marie Alexander, affectionately known to her friends as "Precious", is wintering at Daytona Beach, Florida with her relatives. Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Stocking. * * * Gertrude Baptiste of Chicago has returned home after spending four pleasant weeks visiting Fredia Moore, formerly of Chicago. * * * Guy Hinton gave a surprise birthday party at the home of the Ernest Joneses last Friday evening in honor of his wife, Edna Hinton. Those present were: the C. Bullocks, P. Davises, Ernest Jonses, W. Davises, Evelyn Gill, Catherine James, Minnie Johnson, L. Watt, Percy Mae Wiggins, Dorothy Loveil, Mildred Frazier, Bruce Stoney, Andrew Hillery, Nick Monillo, Willie Speaks, Heffrey Olds, Thomas Bowers, Hubert Joseph and Neil Price. Mrs. Hinton received many beautiful gifts Cards and dancing occupied the evening. * * * The wedding of William Wall, Jr., to Mary Elizabeth Hemphill, took place on October 9th at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Hemphill of Jamaica, N. Y. Emily Lee played the wedding march accompanied by the bride's brother, Samuel E. Hemphill, Jr., on the violin. The bride's sister, Margaret Hemphill, acted as maid of honor with Mr. Carter as best man. Eva Taylor sang several numbers accompanied by her husband, Clarence Williams at the piano. Among the guests were: John H. Bowe, the William Collinses and daughter, Nellie Collins; Mrs. Blackwell and her daughter, Olive, Ora, and Olga Hunt; Rev. P. H. Lee; Mrs. R. A.

Mrs. Potts brought a bus ALBERTA HUNTER, who has tour of Keith-Orphcum Circuit, Broadway Night Club engagement load of her students from Philadelphia to give an exhibition of the various phases of the work taught them in the Essie Marie Studio of that city. Herself a student of the greatest masters of the dance in this country and Europe, Mrs. Potts is a competent and sympathetic teacher who has had a wealth of studio experience. The hostesses who assisted Mrs. Potts and her Philadelphia students in making the introduction an epochal one, were: Mesdames Bernia Austin, Bessye Bearden, Elmer Carter, Bessie Miller, Andrades Lindsey, Marie Mahood Griffin, Daisy Reed, Sadie Tandy, A'Lelia Walker and Dorothy Randolph Peterson. They were assisted by the Misses Charlotte Mahood, Dorothy Jones, Mercedes Brooks, Muriel Kellog and Evelyn Mahood. * * * Taylor Gordon's "Born To Be" is without question the sensation of the month. The critics are raving, all smart drawing room conversation centers around it, and Macey steps forth with a whole show window on the 34th Street side filled with copies and original drawings. Very swank. It would seem that Mr. Gordon, singer of spirituals, has developed a technique of his own that has given a fillup to the jaded sensations of sophisticated New Yorkers. * * * The Fish Club, Inc., staged its first breakfast dance Friday the 11th, starting at midnight at Rockland Palace. Not the largest crowd that Rockland has seen, by any means, but dinged if it wasn't one of the liveliest. Due to the great popularity of Charlie Johnson of Small's Paradise, and Luis Russell from Roseland, the Fish abandoned their former policy of giving a strictly invitational dance, and tossed a "Battle of Music" at the breakfast hour. The dancing continued until four in the morning and the Fish floated about on a sea of gordon water. *** William (Chuck) Weaver of Lincoln University was the host of an enjoyable party given over the week-end at the apartment of Johnny Sills of this city but formerly of Virginia.

However, there are some paretics well advanced in the disease who are much con- cerned over their condition. The differentiation of paresis from vascular (blood vessels) cerebrospinal syphilis is quite difficult. If the syphilitic tumor is one which affects the coverings of the spinal cord there are signs of paralysis or impairment of various parts and organs of the body which are controlled by the part of the spinal column affected, rather than a generalized process. If, on the other hand, the disease affects prin- cipally the blood vessels, with result- ing blood clots or inflammation or softening there may be symptoms of convulsions and epilepsy. Disturbances of speech either are not present, or. if they are, do not partake of the nature of a paretic disorder, but may be true aphasias (defect or loss of the power of expression of speech), and headaches at night are common. The differentiation from alcoholism is often not so easy. The deteriora- tion of the chronic alcoholic has much in common with the dementia of pare- sis. The history of the case is sig- nificant. The so called alcoholic-pseudo (re- sembling)—paresis may be differen- tiated by withdrawal of alcohol and the symptoms disappear in a remark~ able manner. 1017, at Lurn Hall, 93 Elm Street, on Thursday evening, October 31. ee * It is only right that we should patronize our new business enterprises such as Wilbur Evans and Stanley Al- Jen Taxi Service, Yonkers 7622, Pryor and Brooks, Undertakers and Embalm- ers, Nepperhan 422, and Frank C.

BAND under the direc- tion of Lt. Simpson will begin its third season of free concerts at P. S. 126, 185th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, on Sunday afternoon, October 27, at 3 P. M. The purpose of these concerts is to raise funds, through sub- scriptions, for summer concerts in the parks of Harlem with a representative band capable of rendering first class music. Unfortunately, Harlemites have not rallied to the support of Monarch Band as they should. The results have been that Harlem has been supplied with in- ferior white bands who, believing Har- lem appreciates jazz only, has given that only, and a very, very poor ren- dition of it. The city appropriates a certain amount of money for park concerts; of this fund, Harlem is allotted -through its aldermen, a certain portion of this money. ‘This allotment is meagre and because of that fact there is not enough money to pay for large bands. It is because of this fact that Monarch Band is attempting to raise funds. ‘here are many bands in Harlem and some very good ones. If by supporting the splendid efforts of Monarch Band. Lt. Simpson is able to do the things he desires, then the way shall be opened for other organizations to en- tertain Harlem in its many parks dur- ing the summer months. Lt. Simpson has prepared an elab- orate programme of music for his open- ing programme. Such composers as Shubert, Suppe, Gourod, Yradier, and others shall be represented.

At The Lafayette One has but to pay a visit to the Lafayette Theatre this week to un- derstand why this theatre stands out as ‘America’s leading colored theatre.” Without wishing to be extravagant in our praises we venture to say that no theatre in the city offers a better stage and screen program than the Lafayette, and this week’s show is a striking example of this contention. Incidentally the show will only stay for five days—up to and including Friday. For on Sat- urday, October 19th, the new pro- cedure of beginning shows on Sat- urday commences. The stage show is the creation of Edgar Dowell and George Stam- per. Willie Jackson, Billie Cortez, Johnny Lee Long, the Oriental Ser- enaders, Loretta Fairchild, Saw- dust and Sand, John and Al Vigal and “Derby,” the wonderful dancer are included in the cast. Then there is a chorus of twelve of the fastest dancing girls we have seen on a local stage in months and a splen- did jazz band under the leadership of Johnny Sawyer and Mildred Franklin. The revue which Dowell and Stamper have created with this tal- ent kept the Monday matinee audi- ence in a continuous state of laugh- ter, applause or enchantment. The. photoplay program includes as the feature Mary Pickford’s first talking sensation “Coquette.” This is the film version of the stage play which ran for two solid years on Broadway. It tells in unforget- table scenes and dialogue the story of a girl who toyed with the hearts of men and whose only sincere love affair ended in tragic murder! “Coquette” is far greater as a talking picture than it was on the stage. The management of the Lafay- etté Theatre states that it is par- ticularly happy to announce the ap- pearance of Eddie Rector and his show. Some two years have passed since Rector’s “Tan Town Topics” delighted Lafayette Thea- ‘re. audiences. During that time this famous dancer and producer nas replaced Bill Robinson as the jancing -star of Lew Leslie’s ‘Blackbirds” and made a real hit m London and Paris. His revue will be largely inspired by some of he wonderful stage spectacles which he saw in Europe. The cast yf “Sunshine for All” will include Madeline Belt, Cornbred and Thompson, Margaret Beckett. “Cry Baby” Godfrey, Putney Randridge, Teddye and Blinkie, the ‘“Wash- board” Band and other stage fav- orites. The screen will bring Florenz Ziegfield’s marvelous production, “Show Boat”’—enlarged, amplified, glorified and made more dramatic; jn a word, with all of the advant- ages which the talking screen of- fers over the legitimate stage. At The Alhambra “The Hidden Hand,” a meio- drama adapted from the famous novel by Mrs. Southworth, has thrills and startling situations in quick succession, and proves. to be one of the most exciting offerings the Alhambra Theatre has ever staged. . That stalwart actor, Stanleigh Morrell, in the character of Bad McDonald, a criminal with a price on his head, holds a girl. Josephine Campbell, in bondage in a mysteri- ous cottage in the woods, This is the house of a strange old woman who has lost her mind and tries in vain to recall her past lift. Bessie Wrightson plays with great skill this difficult part. Bob Bramlett is a hold-up man and partner in a plot to kidnap an orphan who is an heiress though she herselt is not aware of the fortune awaiting her. This is a tom-boy part played by Edna Har- ris. The youth in love with her is played by S. H. Dudley, Jr. The wealthy scoundrel who con- spires with the desperadoes is Thomas Moseley, but “Old Hurri- cane,” as Al F. Watts is known, corners the villainous plotters and they are brought to justice and the orphan girl is revealed as a rich heiress. “Autumn Revels,” the musical comedy revue, starts with an en- semble of make-believe gold-dig- gers. Then John La Rue and Crackshot Hackley do some aston- ishing sharpshooting. Jennie Dancer, that dynamic singer from Broadway vaudeville, handed the audience a huge sur- prise and the applause was terrific, recalling this superb artist again und again. That quaint comic, Edgar Mar- in, was the life of the party in a ‘adio broadcasting studio. There is an excruciating comedy quar- ette and a cute trio of girls, and Manda Randolph captivates with her versatile fun and singing. There are many new faces—and some mighty pretty ones—among the Alhambra Dancing Girls.

INDEPENDENT COLORED THEATRICAL AGENCY 169 West 133rd Street NATIONAL COLORED PLAYERS SCORE AGAIN IN “CRIME” AT THE WEST END THEATRE Bebe Townsend and William Shepard Fill Important Roles —Johns, Randol, Gregg and Anderson Win ; Popular Approval. Friday, October-18, 1929 _ Lhe National Colored Players, organ- ized under the personal supervision of Harold Hevia, manager of the West End Theatre scored another dramatic triumph when they presented “Crime,” a play in four ucts last Monday night. Another large and representative au- dience of both races filled the beautiful West End and made the walls echo with repeated handclapping, indicative of the tremendous growing popularity of the players and their performances. “Crime” Uke “Seventh Heaven” was another Broadway production, “made in Harlem” but with all the Broadway trimmings—and how! “Crime” is a story of New York’s underworld life, of which so much has been written that it would be like “car- rying coals to Newcastle” for further elucidation to be made here. But we cannot help stating that “Crime” as presented by the National Colored Play- ers is quite different from the “Crime” of which much has been written. In “Crime” the piay, one of the outstand- ing and most effective parts is that played by Vere E. Johns in the role of Eugene Fenmore, leader of a criminal band. '*Fenmore, suave, cool, cunning and clever plans successfully many rob- beries but is unalterably opposed to murder. His licutenant Rocky Mosby, played by George Randol takes issue and commits the unpardonable sin up- on Goldberg, owner of a jewelry shop. In the heated argument that fol- lows Mosby is shot dead by Fenmore. The bulls arrive but are unable to fasten the act upon anyone until they get Annabelle Porter, played by Bebe Townsend and Tommy Brown, played by William Shepard in their clutches. ‘Then it is that Fenmore displays his nobility of soul even if he has a pench- ant for robbing jewelry stores. Put under the third degree he re- fuses to wither under severe fire until Inspector McGuiness, played by Ralph Hendricks, compromises and agrees to discharge Tommy and Annabelle who STOP! LOOK!

In this sceny some of the best acting of the play is seen. Bebe Townsend played a stel- lar role throughout the performance William Shepard did likewise. Ida An- derson, as Dorothy Palmer, Fenmore's sweetheart looked good in the clothes she wore but had little to do. Richard N. Gregg, as Mouse ‘lurner was good. Seo was Harry Myers as Captain Gar- gan, Others in the cast were Mary Jen- kins, Harry Arthurs, Billy Harris, Ted Blackman, J. Homer Tutt, Hilda Offley James Fuller and Ivan Sharp. “The Gorilla” will be the offering at the West End next week. “he Gorilla” begins its story in a sedate Long Island home and hardly has the cur- tain been raised when dour and dire events befall. In order ‘to protect the players and the public, two detectives are hastily summoned on the scene and Mr. Mulligan and Mr. Garrity walk in to solve the mystery. With the ar- rival of these two sleuths, the laughter turns to screems that never end until the Gorilla is safely caged, but then only after a chase that leads to all cor- ners of the building. As Mulligan and Garrity, Messrs. Johns and Rando! will have two of the greatest comedy parts they have ever played. From the foregoing it might be in- ferred that the audience as well might be endangered during next week's sen- sational comedy drama— such is not the case however, and Harlem theatre- goers may attend without the slightest compunction, the least fear of danger. However, if they are afraid to scream with laughter, shivver with fear and shake with terror, then perhaps they will want to refrain from seeing “The Gorilla.” Crities acclaim this as one of the best of the season. Rudy Vallee’s Pictures Precede His Arrival The actual pictures depicting scenes of Rudy Vallee in the “Vagabond Lover” are on display in the window of the Idyl Wyle, 2384 Seventh Avenue. This exhibit was sent to Harlem as a special favor to the American and West Indian News for the dance of the sea- son at Rockland Palace on October 21, at which Mr. Vallee and his two or- chestras are expected to give Harlem the thrill of a lifetime. The megaphone which made Rudy Vallee famous is on exhibit with two others that he used in the Vagabond Lover and a $100.00 specially made one, which will be presented to Rudy by the American xnd West Indian News.

That is, Honey Brown and her snappy aggregation of musical entertainers, the Chi- cago Syncopators will throw this pre “Victory Banquet” for the sepia G. O. P. Congressional entry, at the Bamboo, next Wednesday evening, October 23rd. According to Honey, Delaney is our first congressman and in order to beat every one to the hurrahing, she’s taking old Father Time by the nape of the neck and staging this, her celebration for the handsome Hubert T. in advance. And when Honey’s for a man, well, she’s for him and that 100 per cent. | cs 7 Be on coe P| | & wie | a : = | : Pie es ee rie oo oi pS a a Pe ge < ne ge : a | Jy io an a? ole . d PC ee PS sos ae ornare po cat ae gt dl & ae: ra a a es one cide, : ae F gh cae ye Fs BY a eee.

Now, when I say ability, I'm not speaking of brains of which Honey has a plenty and some more. I had in mind her marvelous dancing. But don't forget she’s a rather clever girl. Please remember she was King Vidor’s first choice for “Hallelujah”. And Honey would have made good had it not been for her sudden illness. In addition to Honey and her boys, Mamie (Racchorse) Smith and Helen Lee will contribute to the evening's en- rertainment. Then, good old genial Dix- ie Bonds, everybody's friend, will wel- come the guests as few others can. The Delanys’ party will number sixty or more but the publie is also oerdially invited and unless Honey is all wet, the Bamboo Inn will be crowded to capacity. According to the clever little dancer, this is THE opportunity for everybody to mect and greet their con- sressman at the Bamboo Inn and who's agonner miss mitting the youthful rep- resentative from the Empire State? Anita Reid’s Party LPiump, vivacious Anita Reid threw a birthday party last Saturday nite at Viola McCoy's cozy little tea room, the “Little Cozy" at 112 West 156th St. and how! Now, Miss Reid had twelve candles in her cake and. take it from one who's a good judge of age, Anita did not look a day over the twelve years she subscribes to. Oh no! We did not cut that cake to see how many more candles were inside. That would have been rude, and a Tattler representa- tive is never rude of all things. That is if he’s not a Floyd G. Junior.

A fortnight ago, Hampton defeated the strong Howard team, 6 to 0, thus keeping its record clean for the season. Lincoln, one of the big teams of the C. I. A. A., has met and conquered St. Paul's. Both teams are now pointing for the contest at the Polo Grounds. * * * Commandeurs Seek National Basketball Title Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 15th-With two solid months of hard work behind them, the Commandeurs Basketball Club, of this city, has assembled one of the most impressive combinations that has represented Philadelphia in years. Backed by nine enthusiastic veterans who last year sprang into nation-wide prominence by plowing through an exceptional hard schedule without allowing a single team to score more than twenty-five points on them, and falling just a little short of greatness by virtue of several unexpected defeats, defeats which the Foot HAMPTON vs. L POLO GROUN as impressive as a ferocious fighter, as Roland Hayes, the illustrious singer, would be as a professional football star. Once again its the oft told story of the inability of being able to tell what is on the inside of a book, through simply raving over the outer covering. Williams has been called a clown boxer' by a number of scribes who have witnessed him in action since returning to these shores from numerous conquests in New Zealand. Perhaps they mean to infer that to his opponent he appears as the old Ledergermain man of Houdini's heyday with a bag containing tricks—and more tricks. ONCE the bell clangs in a contest that he is one of the principals, "Sunny" is all action. Like an animated mannikin he is wheeling first to the right and then shifting like good old Tiger Flowers was wont to, showering Coms later atoned for, the Philadelphiaans have probably the rosiest prospects of any amateur team in the country. The Commandeurs will have all of last year's power, all the fellows are back, and are much bigger, faster, and smarter. It is foolish to be too optimistic at this early stage of the season, yet one can't help but believe that the 'Coms' will be able to use a high powered attack from the beginning of a game to the end with the emphasis on speed, since they have two complete teams in check. There has been very little change in the Commandeurs system, however, except whereas only a few of the players who were as good as the average a year ago, have bloomed into potential stars, making the team a very dangerous outfit on the offense and even more stubborn defensively. The 'Coms" have always been great ball handlers, and this year's team will be no exception. The team. for instance, compares favorably with the New York Collegians and the "Rens" when it comes to dazzling passing. Girl Basket Ball Players Getting in Trim The Cosmopolitan Girls Basket Ball League, held their first meeting of the season Friday evening, at the League's Headquarters, at the Rendall Presbyterian Church, 61 West 137th Street. Plans were made for a wonderful Basket Ball season, among the girls. The League made a great hit last season, playing in all the centers of the city. This season promises to be still better. Lincoln Football By Juice Jamison The return of Captain Temple to Lincoln's squad seems to have worked wonders with Coach Taylor's men. Temple is a born leader. He inspires a team to play better football than it knows how. He has been out for football just a week, but already the squad has caught some of his spirit and enthusiasm. What looked like a listless team with plenty of possibilities has been changed since Temple's return into a peppy team that realizes its great possibilities. Many of the wrinkles that Bill Taylor has been wearing his disappeared. Temple this past spring was compelled to undergo a major operation and for a long time he despaired of ever again putting on football togs. Fortunately, for Lincoln, his physician assured him, two weeks ago, that he could play football this year without undue danger to himself. Temple's return means that the Lions will have another stellar end to use in the stiff opposition they meet this season. Besides Temple, there are Johnny Sydnor, who has been acting-captain in Temple's absence; Harris, Troy and French. Another late comer, Scott, a tackle, reported for practice last Friday. Because of his lack of proleginary training he will have a hard time to displace the men who have played regularly at tackle since the beginning of the season, yet, he will see plenty of action in the remaining games. The Lions' backfield material is working smoothly, Jim Anderson is kicking better than ever, and, when the line finds itself and begins to show the coordination that Bill Taylor has been trying to develop, Lincoln will have a team of championship calibre.

Looking as if they had spent the summer chopping wood in some mountainous country, the fans fairly took the roof off as Saitch, Hill, Mayers, Ricks, Jenkins, Slocum, Yancey, and a tall collegian from Morgan College named Wheatly who is rated a good shot, put in their appearance. The dazzling speed and superb passing of the World's Colored Professional Basketball champions, made the Phlegmatic Germans appear as if they were tied to the slippery floor throughout the first twenty minutes of play, the half ending 28-9 in favor of the locals. The Jerseyites picked up considerably in the last half ringing up nineteen points to a total of twenty-two on Captain Slocum's aides de camp. The final tally was 50-29 in favor of the "Rens", and the season had opened full blast. In a lightning fast preliminary attraction refereed by Chink Lind, the Buffaloes were tested to their utmost in order to eke out a five point win over a crack "All Star" quintet of promising youngsters, 42-37. For next Sunday night's attraction. October 20th, the Renaissance Management has booked Benny Borgeman of Celtics and Kings- Harry Smith at Olympia Harry Smith, former triple titleholder in the Amateur Athletic Union, and Eddie Dempsey, Philadelphia middleweight, will meet in the final event of ten rounds at the Olympia A. C. in Harlem, Saturday night. Smith is the most likely looking successor to the title once held by Tiger Flowers. He has scored fifteen straight knockouts and is undefeated since turning professional a year ago. Two weeks ago he disposed of Billy Morangothy in one round at the Harlem arena. Canada Lee, another former amateur star, is down to meet Georgie Daggett in the ten-round semi-final. Jimmy Bryant and Jackie Saunders are matched in the eight-round contest while three four-rounders bring together Oscar Goldman and Jack Terranova, Bob Carvell and Jack Robinson and Hermaldo and Allen Gibbs. THE INTER-STATE TATTLER dleCrown e Win Impressively the Gathering in Years, Handily oken Germans ton fame, with his clever Fort Wayne group of the American Basketball League. Jenkins starred for the Colored champions, caging five pretty field baskets in addition to four throws from the fifteen foot line. "Pappy" Ricks was runner-up to "Fats" with thirteen points. Gehrig Stars Even Sunday, October 13, was Lou Gehrig's day in the Bronx and 8,000 baseball fans packed Protectory Oval to see Gehrig lead a team of all-league players against the Lincoln Giants in a double header. Gehrig is being considered for the position made vacant by the death of Miller Huggins as manager of the New York Yankees and if the honors shown him last Sunday are a criterion, he'll get the job. The only reason there weren't more people present was because there was nowhere to put them. It was the first time fans have been turned away from this park. Bill Holland pitched the Lincolnns to a 6-3 victory in the first game but Gehrig took the mound himself in the other contest and won by a score of 3-2. Gehrig also hit the longest home run ever made at this park, in the first game, hitting the ball far over the bleacehrs in his first time at bat. Although Holland pitched to him for the remainder of the contest and Ryan pitched to him every time up in the second game, the best he could get off either pitcher thereafter was a single. Melton shared honors with Holland in winning the first game. He came to bit with two men on in the sixth inning and the score tied at 2-2, and hit a home run. If the weather permits, Gehrig will again have his Stars at the Projectory Sunday, October 20. Saturday Olympia, A. C.—Harry Smith vs. Eddie Dempsey, Canada Lee vs. Georgie Daggett, ten rounds each; Jimmy Bryant vs. Jackie Saunders, eight rounds; Oscar Goldman vs. Jack Terranova, Bob Carvell vs. Jack Robinson, Hermaldo Gianotti vs. Allen Gibbs, four rounds each. H! RAH! LEGIANS ASTONISHING! LIGHT SKIN You Can Have it Instantly Friday, October 18, 1929 French Impressions By EDWARD G. PERRY PART II French children are lovely. Their eyes sparkle and they are very alert. Most of them seem healthy. The smaller ones when dressed, are the loveliest children in the world. Their clothes are colorful and made with as much style as those of their elders. It is interesting on Sunday afternoons to watch them sail boats in the lake in the Luxembourg gardens. Opera is one of the favorite pleasures of the French. Their is the National Opera at the famous Paris Grand Opera House. Also, the Opera Comique. In France, all operas are sung in French. Most of the native singers are very bad. At the Grand Opera, the staging is badly done. The Opera Comique is saved from these criticisms because it is rather intimate. At the latter house, many American singers make their debut or sing stellar roles. But after all, what can one ask for the prices they charge? Why, you can really get an orchestra seat at the Opera Comique for sixty francs—two dollars and forty cents! French music halls, revue houses, are grand. Like our movie palaces, they are ostentatiously decorated. One or two are excellently done with the angles, curves and color of modern architecture. Most of them have a cafe and dance hall for the patrons to amuse themselves in during the long intermission. The Follies Bergere is foremost. Most of its patrons are Americans. Cultured French people look upon it as being very vulgar. The revue here is lavishly staged, running a bit ahead of Mr. Ziegfeld and Mr. White. Most of the performers are women who are scantily clothed. Here Josephine Baker became notoriously famous, only to be forgotten in the same manner. The Negro is represented in the Follies this season by an orchestra of mammoth mechanical figures. It is a very effective piece of staging. But Jo made her impression, for a head of a Negro is part of the theatre's mural decorations, which are done in marble and metals. The Casino de Paris is to Paris what the Hippodrome was once to New York. Grand scenic effects—rain storms, buildings falling, people swimming in the water. No wonder this kind of claptrap staging has passed away here. It is more than the finer senses can stand. A Negro (Martiniquian, I believe), fills in here and there throughout the show. Blackbirds played during the summer at the Moulin Rouge, famous house of Mistingnete. It is the center of Paris night life district—Montmartre. In Montmartre you will quite naturally find most of the larger cabarets and night clubs. There are many of them Brick Tops, The Music Box, Chez Florence, Palermo's. None of them are as exciting as most Harlem cabarets. But at these places one can hear the best jazz music. The orchestras are colored. At the very swank Ambassadeurs in the Champs Elysee section, one can see and hear, as well as dance, to the music of Mr. Noble Sissle. This is said to be the most fashionable cabaret on the continent. The bank roll must be solid to spend an enjoyable evening here. Over in the Montparnasse section are two interesting and inexpensive small clubs—La Jockey, La Jungle. They are always packed with many Americans, French and Martiniquians. Most of us have seen Apache boys and girls in the movies. It was all very picturesque. When seen, they are not so picturesque, but nevertheless, very interesting. Along the Rue de Lappe most of the habitues of this quarter are found in dingy dance halls. Some of the Apache boys who dance together, are rather handsome. The women are hard and ugly with paint. There is no "high hatting" here. If you attempt to stand, you must accept their standards or out you go. (To be continued) G Creole-Beauty has caught the fancy of all society women who have used it.

Being a girl and a human one at that I often crave the stead- fast friendship of boys.

The candidates who were entitled to 25,000 extra votes and to whom credit is given in this issue are: Nathalie Macklin, Edna Barnes, Gloria McCutcheon, Servina Saunders, Katherine Noisette, and Alma Weaver. As a sign of encouragement to those candidates who are further down the list it is here stated that five new can- didates entered the contest last week. They are: Annie Randolph, Mary Cues- tas, Eunice Miller, Marie Griffith and Jessie Crawford. All of them are courageous girls who are certainly de- serving of all the support they may be able to get. Two of the new entrants are from Wadleigh High School, mak- ing a total of five in the contest from Wadleigh. For the encouragement of these it might be restated that the “Queen of the Classic” for 1026 was a Wadleigh junior—Miss Inez Quinn. It is expected that out-of-town can- didates will soon commence to make their report; especially those in Phil- adelphia, Baltimore and Washington. For their benefit we wish to call their attention to the rules of the contest which require that all candidates re- port every week. Failure so to do may result in disqualification. Votes should be sent by special letter with U. S. Postal Money Order enclosed. Same should be mailed on Friday so that it will reach us in time for the current issue of The Tattler and so also that due credit may be accorded the candidate in the Contestants Stand- ing. As an indication of the uncertainty of a contest of this nature when every active candidate seeks to exert every strategem to win the, present plight of Miss Macklin, last week's leader is pointed to. Despite the fact that she increased her total votes from 72,000 to 126,000 she was unable to draw away from her two nearest competitors, the Misses Gloria McCutcheon and Edna Barnes, both of whom surprised the rest of the field by landing into a tie for the lead. Of course this situation will not continue but at present it makes a very interesting picture. Candidates in the “Queen of the Classic” contest must bear in mind that in addition to the five major prizes The Tattler offers ten consolation prizes in the form of a trip to the wame with all expenses paid.
