AT DRUG STORES AND BEAUTY PARLORS BROWNLIGHT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, Inc, 2043 Seventh Avenue New York City Social Snapshots Geraldyn Dismond FOR once, New Yorkers did not have to travel from Harlem to see a game of football between two of our college teams. Instead of having to journey to Washington, Philly, Columbus or Chicago, they only had to taxi to the Polo Grounds, Saturday the 2nd, to see Lincoln give Hampton a neat whipping. Naturally, those who hunt excuses to come to Harlem joined the natives, so all in all, from 15,000 to 20,000 people divided themselves between Lincoln and Hampton and cheered and rooted for the victory of their favorites.

N come to Harlem joined the natives people divided themselves between and rooted for the victory of their * * * Even the weather man gave them a break. After almost a week of rains, Saturday dawned very warm, a spring day, to be sure, and although the clouds and sun played hide and seek, not until night did the rain come. Because of the odd weather, the smartest of fur coats rubbed elbows with jaunty tweeds, ultra woolens, swanky velvets and trim satins. The men folks came without top coats. It was a grand day to sit out-of-doors. Only the poor players and cheer leaders suffered. * * * Ordinarily the big event at our games is the intermission. The tremendous size of the Polo Grounds, however, took the edge off the promenading but the parade and concert of the Hampton band filled the gap admirably. The most amusing person was Ernest Davis who insisted upon marching with the band. It was not so easy to see who was on hand, but in the thousands were: Fannie Howard of Bordentown, Paul Jones, Pittsburg; the Hopson Reynolds of Philly; Lelia Dabney, Orange; Bertha Lambert, Eunice Cochrane; the Ed Henrys of Philly; J. Stallings, Atlantic City; the Ford Dabneys; A'Lelia Walker; the Rupert (Sugar) Chases, Atlantic City; Caska Bond; Emory Bonner; Sgt. Jesse Battle; Stella Castro; Eva Williams; Frederick Douglas, D.

William Cliffords; Bill White; Hubert Julian; Coleman Willis; Margaret Morris; Bessie Lattimore; Theron B. Hamilton, Pittsburg; Waldo Faulkner; George Harris; the J. Jamisons; Frances Garvin of Washington. Edith McDougald of Philly was the only visiting lady who had the privilege of sitting in the field. She was on the Hampton side line with Alvin J. Moses and Lt. John A. McDonald of the Dunbar Bank, Romeo Dougherty, Frank Hailstock and yours truly. * * * As for the game itself, both teams played straightforward football without many flourishes, but still with enough thrills to keep the customers interested. Harris, I. B., Jones, F. B., Guess, L. H., and Clark, R. H., did the spectacular playing for Hampton, while Harmon, F. B., Lewis, L. H., Anderson, I. B., were the stars for Lincoln. * * * Of course, the social activities played an important part. From Friday afternoon through Saturday, the Avenue was one mass of tooting, hanking col- B --- THE Yes the very cream of our elite took the afternoon off in order to tell future generations of the memorable clash of 'our boys' in historic Polo Grounds: Bessye Bearden, Anna Stewart of Greensboro, Atty.

They came to break 'em down, be wild and do Harlem up brown, and without a doubt, they made a splash. A circus parked in the middle of 135th Street and 7th Avenue couldn't have caused more confusion or made more noise. But we loved it. Two monster receptions for the teams were staged jointly by the Alumni Associations of Hampton and Lincoln at Rockland Palace and the Renaissance Casino after the game and the A. R.

Each carried a stocking filled with flour which he used on unsuspecting passersby, and as soon as it was dark, the tearing down of flower boxes and urns and the upsetting of trash cans began. * * * Friday night the Just Us Girls—Bessie Parker, President; Ruth Taylor, Vice President; Billie Fields, Secretary; Blanche Pritchett, Treasurer; Mamie Lee, Business Manager; Lucile Gretter, Grace Martin, Vernia Griffin, and Lillian Waters—staged a Gypsy Carnival at the Renaissance. Vernon Andrades' Syncopators were in power and confetti flew. Down the Avenue at the popular Bamboo Inn, the original Esquires—J. Caswell Reid, President; R. A. Skeeter Gorham, Vice President; J. Berkley Gaines, Secretary; Theodore Daniels, Treasurer; Allan C. Stoute, Business Manager; J. J. Ball, Wendell Derritt. Travis Freeman, Clarence King. K. Lloyd Bright. George W. Reed, McKinley Reeves, Walter T. Reid, Jr., Walker Snowden, George Walton and Dr. Cephas M. Parker—tossed a gay Jamboree of welcome to which many a college man took his best girl to hear Honey Brown and her Chicago Band. * * * For those who wanted to boast that they slept not while in Harlem, a Varsity Drag was offered at the same Renaissance from three Friday until 1:30 Saturday morning. And a few members of the Varsity Club are "Puss" Saunders, "Jazz" Byrd, "Phil" Edwards, C. D. King, George Gregory, "Doc" Sealy, "Bulldog" Williams, "Hank" Riddick, Ralph Warrick. Binga Dismond, "Skeeter" Gorham, Bouchet Day, "Sol" Johnson, "Tommy" Harris, George Randon, Ted Blackman, Mark Parks, "Bob" Payne, Reggie Williams. As for the cabarets—well, Friday's business looked like a big Saturday night, and on Saturday, it was nigh on to impossible to get in anywhere. You even had to stand in line at the doors of the speakers. And did the restaurants do a land office business? Not since the Elks' Convention has it been so hard to eat in Harlem. The zonkle Dark Tower was quite the thing; Domenick put extra tables down the tables; Tabb's Grill was packed to the door; Johnny Jackson and Johnson's Southern Restaurant and the Sun Rome were overflowing; the Romobud served and served; Mexican Joe thought all Harlem had gone chill mad. ook the afternoon off in order to the Eric Polo Grounds: Bessye Bearder of Chicago, A'Lelia Walker, and ```markdown ``` Two monster receptions for the teams were staged jointly by the Alumni Associations of Hampton and Lincoln at Rockland Palace and the Renaissance Casino after the game and the A.

If it was music that the stranger craved, the Hall Johnson Negro Choir sang at Town Hall on Saturday, Arrington Helm at Steinway Hall Sunday night and Harrison Emanuel appeared at St. Marks in a violin recital. * * * No matter what it was, Harlem had it.

Rhoda Smith; The Mermaids and Irwin Overton's. Rhoda Smith entertained in her apartment on Edgecombe Avenue for the William Bojangles Robinson's who are leaving for a tour of the West. Mr. Bo, of course, will play the Keith houses and "Little Bo" will keep him from missing Harlem too much. Mrs. Smith, who is noted for her parties, had all the proper Halloween decorations, even to plates and napkins and all the members of her club La Foule were in costume. Very attractive. As for refreshments a buffet supper and plenty of liquids. Her guests were the Eubie Blakes, the C Desverneys, the H.

Arthur Norris wore a most unusual knitted cardigan and beret of multicolored yarn; Eunice Shreeves a perfect Bowery outfit; Bertha Lambert made a gorgeous senorita; Guy Ingram a charming Spanish pennant. Amy Brown had on a magnificent Japanese ensemble and Bessie Luttimore made an indorable blue eyed baby. And the overall maids, ballet dancers and gypsies were plentiful. ```markdown ``` * * * Irma Overton's Hallowe'en parties have become a Harlem institution. Weeks before her bids are out, there is much concern as to who will be invited; when they are out, there is more worry about what one will wear, because costumes and masques are absolutely required; and after one gets to the party there is no end of doubt as to whether or not one will survive the celebration. Her apartment was marvelously decorated, the dining room was completely covered in orange and black crepe paper. The ceiling, of the living room, was covered with balloons on which gobblins were painted, while a huge gray ghost of crepe paper dominated the room from a superior position over the piano. Autumn leaves, pumpkins and shaded lights added the final touch. An endless supply of cocktails, highballs, rickies and straights accompanied by salads, sandwiches, hot dogs, stuffed celery and relishes poured forth from the kitchen, and while hardly decorations, they made you more appreciative of the trimmings. * * * The costumes were magnificent and intriguing. Irma, herself, was a glorified chorine in white satin, rhinestones, bead fringe and a high satin hat; Nettie Deming was an Aunt Jennima de Luxe in black taffeta with snow white organdy apron, cap and scarf; Ezell Dubsford was in full desert sheik regalia; Dever Turner made a stunning Roman charioteer in white satin (toga and all) with gold trappings and sandles; Estelle Everett, Dr. Perky Perkinson, Chink Watkins and Dr. Layton Wheaton came black face; Paul Bass was a perfect Old Black Joe; Mrs. Luckeythe Roberts wore a magnificent Valesquez made of orange and black crepe paper; Webb Richardson and Coleman Willis were just off the ship; Jacque Lucas made an adorable raga-mullin; Gladys Browne, a too-wicked tiger lady; Pearl Craft, an Indian Princess; Mac Chilton a darling baby, and Bessie Bearden a charming Lord Fauntleroy; A'Lelia Walker had on an Oriental costume that came from Palestine; Bea Wilson was a gypsy; Bob Smith was all done in white, overalls and everything; McCleary Stinnette was a snake hipping apache; Lonnie Ricks the elegant court gentleman; and this could go on for pages. What with Luckeythe Roberts, Bob by Giles, George Francis and J. William Clifford the music was grand. In short it was a grand party and right grandly did we break down .

If I remember correctly there are only a hundred odd scattered about in the States, and to the Original Moskowitz come the celebrities to hear Mr. Moskowitz play this mamma of the piano. Across what resembles a wooden table are strung wire, chromatically, which are played upon with wooden sticks, padded and unpadded. Ordinarily the piano score is used, however, for the Hungarian Rhappodies a Dulecimmer score is written. I might add, that the Original Moskowitz is a Roumanian Restaurant, where exotic foods and music are featured. --- Rosey Swain, who was the third prize winner in The Tattler's Trip to Paris contest, has a lot of friends in the profession who will be interested to know that she has entered the 1929 "Queen of the Classic."

He is endowed with a marvelous ability to “build up” a show, He pays quite as much attention to his scenery and his costumes as he does to his dances and his comedy. The “Devil's Frolics” is ‘the title of his new vehicle at the Lafayette Theatre this week. The cast of the “Devil's Frolics” is exceptionally good. It includes John Mason, Gallie De Gaston and Jackie Mabley as the main comedians; Doris Khuebottom, Orlando Roberson and the Southern Harmony Kings as the song birds; the sixteen Carey Howardites, the five Washingtonian Steppers and two dancing team specialties who are new to the local stage as the main dis- ciples of terpsichore. With such a cast the show could hardly fail to be as delightful as it fs. The photoplay program is also as good as that which the Lafayette Theatre has been presenting during the last few weeks. The feature photo play is Henry King’s mighty war drama, ‘‘She Goes to War.” This Is one of the most thrilling war dramas yet sereencd—the use of talking and sound effects which were made pos- sible by the vitaphone. make this pic- ture greater than was ever dreamed of before . There is one scene in this picture, the equal of which the reviewer has never scen. In this scene, a squad- ron of army tanks plods its way across a battlefield which’ has been set on fire, defying the flames which are lick- ing its sides, the cannons which are exploding and denting its armor and the volleys of countless machine guns which are trained on the tanks. “She Goes to War” is a story of a woman, who, masquerading as a man, reaches the front line trenches. Rupert Hughes is the author; Eleanor Board- man, Alma Rubens, John Holland and Edmund Burns are the featured play- ers. The photoplay program also includes a fast and funny Vitaphone act created by Norman ‘Thomas and his famous dancing and playing quintette. BE mon oe om - .

"Great Day" proved a revelation to one who had witnessed the earlier production during the past summer. Just the thread of the original story remains, but, in the cutting of the script, "Great Day" has made a thoroughly enjoyable musical comedy production, and may be classed as one of the musical treats of the season. The genius of Youman asserts itself in the entire production. The big chance to draw patronage will come from the constant plugging of these numbers, which include "Great Day" and "Without a Song," one of the best torch songs of the year. "More Than You Know," and several others are worth the price of admission. They are without doubt the finest collection of musical numbers heard this season. The comedy is well taken care of by Messrs. Miller and Lyles, two of the greatest comedians we have. These former "Shuffle Along" and "Keep Shufflin" stars carry on a side splitting monologue that causes a wave of enthusiasm to sweep the house. Louis Deppe, one of our best baritones, has a nice spot to fill. His voice carries far and melodiously into the upper reaches of balconies. ies. The story is simply that of Emmy Lou Randolph who with her daughter owns a sugar plantation, which is sold at auction to the owner of a gambling casino, who is in love with Emmy Lou. She in turn has centered her affections on a Government engineer, who has been sent to help control an impending flood. Emmy Lou becomes the hostess and principal entertainer in the casino in an effort to regain her fortune to buy back the plantation. Her brother is in love with the judge's daughter who finally buys back the old homestead. A melodramatic scene, where the water is about to break through the levee and is checked, is happily commendable.

London, England, reports that the British Government is making threats at the publishers of Ethel Waters' song hits, saying they are too naughty for the sensitive ears of Londoners. A pleasing comedy drama was presented at the Mid City Theatre by Buster Lee. The scouts for this department in Washington state that the opus was considerably out of the ordinary and brought forth much favorable comment, — its name—"The Village Blacksmith." Billy King, veteran showman who has been in retirement came out long enough to give the cash customers the benefit of his side-splitting monologue at the Koppin Theatre in Detroit last week.

What we believe to be the first case of its kind to be brought to the union by a contractor, has been brought by "Deacon" Johnson against William Elkins and George Francis. The cause of the trouble was the alleged dissatisfactory performance of a seven piece orchestra sent by the "Deacon" to the Hotel McAlpin to entertain and play dance music. Mr. Elkins was placed in charge of the orchestra and Mr. Francis was to assist Mr. Elkins in the entertainment. "Deacon" received a letter from the entertainment committee of the society which gave the dance, and in it, the committee expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of cooperation of the orchestra with the committee and the poor entertainment and lifeless dance music. "We should let you sue us for your money," the letter said in part, and "You have entertained us for three years and have never treated us this way before," it stated further. But the statements upon which "Deacon" relies to press his charges are "No one of the orchestra came near us during the whole evening, someone said that there were two men who sang, if there were we heard only one." The case is to come up on Nov. 6, and then all sides shall be heard and we shall have an opportunity to learn how the union handles such cases.

Strangely enough, their victims were a troupe that in former seasons have provided no end of trouble for the locals, and Bob Douglas was anxious to lick them convincingly. Though Eyre Saitch was not the high scorer for the Colored wizards, his work was easily the most outstanding of any man on the court when one considers the short space of time he was in the fray, replacing Captain Hilton Slocum. The ex-tennis champion proceeded to cage three field baskets in less time than it takes us to jot these lines down, and the house literally went wild.

Elsewhere will be found a copy of the letter which was sent to The Tattler by a Wall Street Stock Broker, who is contemplating writing a play, based on the lives of colored people who live in Harlem. The broker who is said to be wealthy and whose name is withheld by request is offering to the candidates in The Tattler's "Queen of the Classic" contest an opportunity to win one of three prizes which will be in the form of subscriptions, for the three best letters describing in detail their dramatic conception of Harlem and how best to mold their idea into a comedydrama, the characters of which will be colored. To the candidate who offers the best letter, two five-year subscriptions or the equivalent of 100,000 votes will be theirs. The writer of the second best letter will receive one five-year subscription or the equivalent of 50,000 votes and to the writer of the third best letter a four-year subscription will be offered, or the equivalent of 25,000 votes. There are several young ladies in the contest who have stage ambitions and who seek an outlet for their dramatic abilities, to whom an offer to take part in a contest of this nature will make a strong appeal. These people should immediately sit down to the nearest writing table and write the plot of a play about Harlem and its inhabitants or make the necessary suggestions to the maker of the offer which will give him the information he seeks.

Y. Dear Sir: I have intentions of writing a play (Comedy-drama) with colored folk as the characters, but my knowledge of Harlem and its people is limited so I am asking you for some assistance. Knowing that some of the candidates in your "Queen of the Classic" contest are dramatically inclined, I offer three prizes in the form of sub- scriptions to the three girls who offer the most cooperation and whose knowledge of Harlem and its ways is unlimited. I am a young man, twenty-five years old (white), and in business. They may address all communications to "Author," care of your office and mail same to me. Thanking you in advance, I am.

We are now in the midst of the third period of the contest during which The Tattler offers 100,000 votes to the candidate who is able to obtain five five-year subscriptions. Candidates who are not among the first ten should not get discouraged, but should continue their efforts. The never-say-die spirit will help you to finish among the winners. But you must keep trying. Keep everlastingly at it. Some of the candidates at the top may be faltering and this will be your chance to make up for lost time. The big vote period is here. Almost any candidate in the contest can win—even those who are placed last in the standing. See ALL of your friends, all of them will help you, if you explain the big saving which you alone can offer them and they will enable you to win a prize and take part in the social festivities of the Lincoln-Howard Football Classic, which is THE game of the year.

Colonel Howard died at Letterman's Hospital, San Francisco. Women's Democratic League of Harlem Sponsors Meeting for Candidates The largest political meeting sponsored by Colored women during this campaign was held at the Saratoga Club on Wednesday the 30th of October. The club was donated to the group by Mr. Casper Holstein, and entertainers from Jerry's and the Saratoga entertained the politicians and their friends. The meeting was held in honor of Mr. William H. Austin, democratic candidate for Alderman in the 21st District, and all other candidates on the Democratic ticket. This group of women was recently organized for the purpose of forming a permanent organization of Democratic women in Harlem. It will be an independent body which will work by the side of men leaders and co-operate with them at the time of election and whenever needed. It is hoped that this League will solidify the Democratic vote among women in this community and by its strength in large membership become an institution, whereby, colored women may have a place in the sun and a supporting body to WILL BE THE of the Classic' OR 1929?
