High Class Program to Feature the Tattler's Annual Coronation Party High Class Program to Feature the Tattler's Annual Coronation Party Hubert T. Delany To Act As Master Of Ceremonies At The Bamboo Inn, Monday Evening, Nov. 25th. Dancing Dotson, Alberta Hunter, Ernest Whitman, Alma Smith, Hamtree Harrington, Gallie De Gaston, "Dusty" Fletcher, George Randol, And John Mason, Just a Few of The Stars Who Have Promised To Appear. OH boy and there's going to be plenty of "Whoopee" and how at the Bamboo Inn this coming Monday evening, November 25th. It's sure going ter be some nite and we don't mean maybe. But then as everybody knows, the Tattler's annual "Coronation Party" for the "Queen of the Classic" has always been a big whoopee nite and this whoopee makin' of the Tattler does not end until after Thanksgiving, usually late Friday afternoon when we troop home from the big Thanksgiving Clash, er beg pardon, "Classic" we mean, between Howard and Lincoln. Sometimes its from Philadelphia and sometimes its from Washington, D. C. But regardless of which city, boy, we sure make whoopee and plenty of it. Naturally the beginning of our this year is no exception and this whoopee makin' party is right here time we have picked that oriental in New York City and Harlem. amusement palace, the Bamboo Inn Where else could it begin? Well, for the beginning of our merry- The Interstate Jattler making. True, the Bamboo Inn may not be large enough to accommodate our gang, but that's to be seen. It certainly is the ideal spot this time and that oriental atmosphere is just the thing to give this year's party a somewhat different setting. The program for Monday nite at the Bamboo is a corking good one, one of the best if not THE BEST we have ever arranged. First we take a world of pleasure in announcing that the Honorable Hubert T. Delany has consented to act as master of ceremonies. Well, if Mr. Delany exhibits just one-tenth of the pep as our master of ceremonies as he did in his contest for Congress, we sure can't lose. Remember that inspiring fight the youthful aspirant for congressional honors made in the recent election? Oh boy and make believe he did not burn things up. Well, he's promised to make things hum next Monday evening. Now don't forget girls. Now you pretty pinks and bronze beauties come out for this stalwart, handsome chap is sure worth looking at. And who knows, er, but that's none of our business. It's up to the girls who he'll fall for if any one. But Mr. Delany is not the only treat we have in store for you. Little Miss Alberta Hunter, internationally famous songbird, but recently back from her European tri umphs, is going to chirp. Well, if that ain't a treat, we sure would like to know what would be. Miss Hunter is an exceptionally gifted artist, one of our best. And please remember that this will be her first appearance before a Harlem audience since her return. She has been entertaining on the big vaudeville circuits where the price of admission to the theatres is as high as $5.50. Then there's the nationally famous "Dancing" Dotson, one of the two greatest ebony masters when it comes to hoofing. My my that boy has a warm pair of tootsies and sure knows how to use 'em. Well, he'll be filling an engagement at a high class Newark theatre where the price of admission is $3.30 top. But the famous Dot will grab a taxi and make a bee line for New York, Harlem and the Bamboo Inn right after his work is done at the Newark house. He's promised to be with us about 12:30 in time to do his bit in making the Tattler's Annual Classic Party this year the best ever presented. And still that's not all. Two outstanding stars from that spectacular production of Negro life, "Harlem" now playing at the Windsor Theatre of the Bronx, will appear and help to make this year's whoopee a complete K. O. They are fascinating Alma Smith and the statuesque Ernest Whitman. And the en HARLEM'S DUTY Demand from Chain Stores and other Trusts who exploit us — equal patronage unreservedly. On the Cover~ A Pocahontas who brings greetings from the Golden Gate. Surely her supplications will be an- swered. By Campbell Studio tire company is expected to come with them. Harmtree Harrington, celebrated blackface comedy entertainer, formerly of Lew Leslie's Black Birds, George Randol, Ralph Cooper and "Dutsy" Fletcher of the Alhambra, John Mason and Blondina Stern and Margaret Beckett and last but not least, the one and only Donald Heywood, celebrated pianist, has promised to tickle the ivories as only he can while Sam Manning, the "Ace" of West Indian black face comics sings one of his West Indian selections. Boy, "It's Another Big Nite For Tattlerites." And who's agonna miss it.

THE NEW YORK TIMES HUBERT T. DELANY, distinguished attorney of New York City, who will present the awards to the winners of the Tattler's "Queen of the Classic" Contest at a gala reception and ball at Bamboo Inn Monday evening, November 25th. Edgar Wiggins' Exhibit The exhibitions of "The Art Students' Club," recently held at Gumby's Book Studio and the West 125th Street Branch Y. M. C. A., had a tendency to produce something out of the ordinary. The paintings, pastels and charcoal drawings met with the approval of the general public, but the Pen and Ink drawings of Edgar Wiggins proved to be an extraordinary treat. His picture entitled "Captain Dan" (a drawing of a German police dog owned by Mr. John S. Bies), is very beautifully done, Mr. Wiggins' technique in this picture is indeed keen and tends to show the touch of a master. So few are the artists that can master the Pen that we feel much encouragement should be given Mr. Wiggins, because from his drawings it is evident he has the natural ability. Studying as he has to develop it and with youth at his command who knows what heights he may attain. ```markdown ``` PORO SYSTEM TAUGHT Mme.

Mrs. Beasley was stricken on the previous Tuesday with an acute attack of gastric neurosis which seemed to have run its course by the next Monday at which time she seemed appreciably improved. On Tuesday afternoon of the 12th, Dr. Beasley at the suggestion of Dr. John Finley, the attending physician, called into consultation the eminent physician and specialist, Dr. Robert Carlisle, professor emeritus of the New York University Medical School. While the doctors were consulting in the next room, Mrs. Beasley very quietly and apparently without pain breathed her last. When the nurse called the doctors, Mrs. Beasley was pronounced dead.

Marlon Wilson Beasley was born in Boston, Mass., April 12th, 1895, the eldest daughter of Butler R. Wilson, and the late Mary Evans Wilson. She was educated in the Boston Public Schools and graduated from Radcliffe College in 1916. While in college, Mrs. Beasley was known by her interpretive and aesthetic dancing directed by Virginia Tanner. On May 14th, 1919, she was married to Albert S. Beasley, Sr., a graduate of the Howard Medical School. They made their home in Millis, Mass., until the fall of 1926 when they moved to New York.

It is interesting to note that through- out the United States, over six hundred million dollars will be distributed this year among nine million people, and that New York State leads all of the other states with a total of one hun- dred and forty one million dollars. The bank further announces that the 1930 Christmas Club will be open on December 2nd.

J. recently while “Black- birds” No. 2 company was performing at the Shubert Theatre. Mable Whit- man, so the story goes, decided to pay a visit to Harriet Galloway and B. B. Joyner, both of whom are stars in the company. When Mabel was announced at the door, Harriet and Joyner jumped out of their dressing rooms and greeted her with “Hello Mamma,” “Sister May” and “Let Her In.” They gave her a good seat down front and Mabel praised them in conjunction with others in the company for their good work. It de- veloped later that these well known stars were early proteges of Mabel’s and she wanted to see how well they were “carrying on” their early training. * C3 ™ Paul Robeson, whose voice thrilled a large over-flowing audience at the Carnegie Hall, recently duplicated the’ feat in Chicago ‘last week before 3,500 people who attended his first recital in the Windy City. * me Ralph De Mund, well known locally, is filling singing engagements in Pitts- burgh, and was last heard at one of the leading theatres in that city. De Mund was formerly an elevator runner at the Navex Building on Broadway and having come in contact with so many celebs of the stage and screen, he was inspired to go and do likewise, with the result he is now filling “big time” engagements. It seems to us there might be some sort of a parallel between Ralph as an “indoor chauffeur” and Marion Tally. the Metropolitan Opera diva who is farming after star- ring in opera for three years. The big difference, however. is that no one seems to be interested in organizing a citizens’ committee to welcome Ralph home. * - * Miss Vivienne Baber is being paged by several officials of Tuskegee Institute who have asked the Tattler to locate her.

Things thea- trical are just about the same—some weeks better than others, depending upon the attractions provided. As far as Negro acts are concerned, I’m glad to record that they are meeting with success wherever presented. “Williams and ‘faylor played at the Birmingham Ilippodrome the week of October 26th and were the Jaughing hit of the bill. “Scot and Whaley came into the Birmingham Empire Theatre Monday in their new production, “Business is Busi- ness.’ They received a warm welcome for they are great favorites. “Our little friend, Tiney Ray and the Three Eddies ace still a dancing suc- cess. “Will Garland’s Company ‘Swanee River,’ is a good tonic for the blues. “We hear wonderful reports of Noble Sissle and his fine band. We have had the pleasure of following this talented combination and they have left a splendid record. They are gentle- men on and off the stage and the pub- lie cagerly awaits their return. “The Eight Kentuckians, under the direction of Ifrank Cumminger, are meeting with great success as the prin- cipal specialty in F.

The enclosed clipping is only one of many: “‘The Kentucky Minstrels sang delightful plantation melodies in appropriate settings. and Miss Con- nie Smith, a colored lady with a wonderfully sweet voice, was vo- ciferously encored for an unusually fine rendering of “Swanee River.’ “The act consists of a few of the old-timers—Frank Cumminger of Cum- minger and Colona, the great Snake Dancers, Connie Smith Yates, late of Smith and Johnson and Wallace and Martinette, the first colored men to in- troduce saxophones in acts, in England. Yet, we are as successful as ever. It’s no. how old you are, but how good you are. My advice to the young art- ists is to try and do better each year— and don't get discouraged. “Word has come of the death of Tom Jenkins who was from Baltimore. He hus been over here a number of years. Although a very talented musician, he has not been traveling recently. He settled in Doncaster where he died.

The first prize goes to Miss Edna Barnes, of Cedar Manor, I. I. She will recelye’ three five-year subscriptions or the equivalent of 150,000 votes. The second prize is won by Miss Christine Murphy, who will receive one five-year subscription or the equivalent of 50,- G00 votes. The third prize was won by Miss Eunice Miller, who will re- ceive a four-year subscription or the equivalent of 25,000 votes. Since this information came to us after the official Contestants Standing was completed, the votes above men- tioned are not credited in the standing. Three winners must add the votes won to the number credited alongside their names in the Standing. The donor of the prizes wishes to thank all who competed and will be present at the Bamboo Inn, Monday night to meet the winners in person, Another pleasing surprise is in store for the girl who finishes sixth in the contest. The Viceroy Shoe Salon, 2391 Seventh Avenue, of which Jack Elkins is the proprietor, has offered to allow the sixth prize winner.to choose any pair of shoes in the shop for a present and, as a momento of the interest mani- fested by this high class establishment in the “Queen of the Classic.” Inci- dentally it might be added here that Miss Katherine Noisette, one of the leaders in the contest, is employed as saleslady by the concern. Ordinarily there was no provision made for a sixth prize winner, but by the gen- erosity of the Viceroy people this is made possible. TAKE NOTICE That J.

JOLLY Thanksgiving From 3 u THE NITE CLUB BOYS, Inc. FROM CONNIE'S INN IN THEIR BIG ANNUAL Breakfast Dance & Gala Jamboree About Musicians BY AUBREY BROOKS ON Sunday afternoon, November 24, 1929, Invincible Temple No. 77, Daughter Elks, will be the guests of honor at the band concert to be given at the Girls' Junior H. S. on 135th Street and Edgecombe Avenue, by the Monarch Symphonic Band. Mr. Herbert Finley, well known cornetist, and Miss Dayse Harding will be the soloists for the occasion. Lt. Simpson will present on this programme a descriptive number called "Hot Time In Old Town," by Buys. This number is very amusing and very difficult to perform. We are confident that those who attend this concert will enjoy this number as a well balanced and interesting programme. When we read of $500,000 being anonymously donated as a fund to organize a colored symphony orchestra in Baltimore, it occurs to us that it would have been a God-send to the Harlem Symphony Orchestra back in 1925 when that sterling organization tried to come into existence permanently. The late Gilbert Anderson, a capable director and a man of experience, guided the Harlem Symphony while Deacon Johnson sponsored it. It was the same old story, however, there was no support from our own people. We would suggest that some enterprising group of music teachers get together and organize a music school along more practical lines than along those lines which the schools are now run . Since most of our group go in for professional work of entertaining, why not teach popular entertaining through voice, dance and instrument? In our midst are a group of boys who have returned to us after spending some time in Europe. They are entertaining at a popular night club in Fifty-eighth Street. Among them are Opal Cooper, Sammy Richardson, Burnett, the saxophone demon, and Kid Sneeze. The boys are here for a short stay and then will return to France. Ralph Redmond, conductor of Imperial band, has something "up his sleeve." When we asked him why he did not give some concerts, he merely answered "Perhaps we shall, you never, can tell. One thing is certain; I am prepared to start. How is that?" All that we could answer was "O. K." Allie Ross is rehearsing a fifteen piece orchestra to go into Connies Inn so it is rumored. The combination sounds very good. Alexander Fennar, Broadway Bookie has placed a twelve piece orchestra in Clover Gardens, situated in Grand Central Palace. You can't keep a good man down. Deacon Johnson had a seven piece orchestra at the Plaza Hotel playing for the British Great War Veterans. Emil Coleman also had an orchestra of about fifteen. Deacon played in a small room off the large ball room. The unexpected happened. Everybody crowded into the small room who could get in, to dance by the Deacon's music. We must admit he had a darn good band. Thats what we call cooperation. You've got to hand it to Duke Ellington, the music man of the hour. He sent a fifteen piece band to Providence Rhode Island on November 11, and is widely advertised to appear in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving. The Duke gets real money for his engagements. If you doubt our word, ask Joe Breen. We expect at any time to hear that Billy Elmore has joined a certain church on 13Sth Street, where a certain prominent young lady is so active.

SYPHILIS is the direct and sole cause of tabes dorsalis or locomotor ataxia, which takes its name from the fact that ataxia is a prominent symptom. P. Incoordination is not an early sign, but develops gradually and may take a long time for its complete evolution. The Romberg sign, which is the swaying of the body when the patient's eyes are closed, is a prominent sign of tabes in the advanced stages. Earlier in the disease, the patient himself may have discovered the coming of this symptom by sway- THE INTER-STATE TATTLER ing and uncertainty of posture. In certain cases swaying is noticed when the eyes are not closed. If the bare feet are noticed there may be seen a constant movement of the tendons. The incoordination becomes more marked when the patient attempts to go up and down stairs or when he attempts to walk backwards. In some cases when the patient is asked to turn quickly, he performs the act so clumsily and may even fall. When incoordination is fully established, the tabetic raises his feet too high, throws them too far forward, brings them down suddenly, heel first and toes last, giving the characteristics of a double step. In late stages the patient can walk only with a crutch and may become bedridden. Much later the arms may become involved and the delicate movements used in writing or in the pursuit of skilled labor may show defects.

If on the Road we'd try to make a friend Of every lonely heart we chance to meet, The Road would hide a treasure 'round each head And we would tread the way with eager feet." Hawke-eye State makes its first contribution to the Lonesome Hearts. "I am a terrible lonesome young man. Only been in the city two months—don't hardly know anyone. Am native of Iowa.

I'm lonesome for your round brown face And for your midnight kiss, The little hugs you squeezed with grace That thrilled me beyond bliss.

I am frank and willing to be true if he is. Must be colored. No one thing can produce happiness, according to Prof. Pitkin, author of "The Psychology of Happiness." "Can you find some nice young man for me to correspond with? I am lonesome, therefore not so happy. I once read that 'everybody strains after happiness and the result is that nobody's happy.' That may seem true to some, but I believe I'm on the right road to happiness when advertising through your column. "Am 22 years of age, five ft. 6 in., dark brown hair and eyes, weigh 132 lbs.

Jackie-I could swamp you with my virtue, but to what purpose would that me? It is not to say that I am lonely (not exactly) but am interested in those who are. I am by nature austere but sympathetic and responsive to a thousand moods. My interests, apparently of a cold intellectual charter, are, in fact, social, Jackie, in the real sense of the word. I know all sorts and conditions of men and women and all sorts of things about them. Am well acquainted with this city and am capable of escorting any girl to any theatre or concert hall in Manhattan. Am not impressive but quiet, resolute, loyal to the slightest trust, and devoted to the integrity of the opposite sex; also considered. gifted, courteous, thoughtful, not aggressive. People interested in me need not fulfil any physical specification but that of the cleanliness so good for the soul and age 17-23. Sex is imma- terial but you know, Jackie, I am masculine and though undesigning, human and sensitive. Previous breeding does not matter; intelligence, self-respect, responsiveness to good influences essential. I am a student. 20 years old and centuries besides.

Then comes Lil- lian Page, “Miss Howard” for 1928 and Eunice Miller of Wadleigh High School. The winner for 1929 will prob- ably come from among these but it still is not too late for those further -down the list to make a garrison fin- ish and win one of the major awards, if mot the first prize. It all depends upon the candidate and her supporters. Five_ five-year subscriptions between now and Sunday, November 24th at 6 P. M., which is the closing hour, will just about clinch a prize for some fortunate candidate. The reception to the winhing candi- dates and the awarding of the prizes will take place at the Bamboo Inn, Monday, evening, November 25th. Assistant U. S. Attorney and recent congressional candidate Hubert T. Delany has accepted an invitation to make’ the presentations. Stars from some of Broadway’s leading hits will offer their wares for entertainment in conjunction with Honey Brown, who was first chosen by King Vidor for the lead role in “Hallelujah” and the celebrated Bamboo Inn _ orchestra. Table reservations, if desired shouid -be made in advance by communicating with Bennie Butler, Charge D'Affairs at The Tattler office, 200 West 135th Street, Edgecombe 0661. After the reception at the Bamboo Inn, the “Queen of the Classic,” “Miss Howard” “Miss Lincoln,” “Miss New York” and “Miss Harlem” along with those candidates who will qualify for the trip to the game will leave Wednes- day afternoon for. Philadelphia, where they will be received by a reception committee. The party will be piloted Supported By Name ee - hr ‘ a ALMA WEAVER, backed by La Meilleur Toujour Social Club has pushed herself into the lead- ing position of the contest by a remarkable jump from ninth place. by the Contest Kditor, and executive members of The Tattler staff. While in Philadelphia the party will be in the hands of the Quaker City recep- tion committee, which will include officials from Lincoln University. At this time it is advisable to remind all contestnnts that there can be but one winner, and those who fail to win the first prize must prepare to take their dissapointment good naturedly. The tenseness of this kind of a con- test, in which one’s very soul is tried while attempting to win the first prize must be borne in mind throughout.

Miss Murphy just oozes personality and charm. Votes eellent work in trying to win the first prize and both The Tattler and Con- test Editor feels that in addition to the prizes they should be accorded a vote of thanks. At 6 p. m., sharp Sunday, November 2tth the contest ends. No votes will be accepted after that time. The judges headed by Assistant District Attorney George Hall, as chairman will commence the re-count to check up any in-accuracies or errors and the names of the winners will be made known at the Bamboo Inn-positively not before. If there should be tying candidates, each one so tied will re- ceive the same prize. As this is being written no word has been received from the gentleman who made the offer of 225,000 votes to the three candidates who best explained by letter their idea of what should constitute the material for a success- ful comedy-drama. Just as soon as the names of the three winners are made Known they will be notified. The very last candidate to enter the contest is Miss Katherine Wade, a student at the Lincoln Secretarial School, who will receive the school's support. Miss Wade evidently has the heart of a lion and nerves of steel to attempt what must appear to many as an almost impossible task. She is to be highly commended for trying anyhow. The reception committee at the Bam- boo Inn will consist of former “Queen of the Classic’ prize winners, headed by Miss Inez Quinn and. including Misses Thelma Yancey, Clara Leyba, Mae Brown, Mrs. Gladys Spivey, Con- stanee Perdue and others, Au revoir may the best girl WIN! Another Chocolate? Cepero is expected to develop into another Chocolate as a drawing card. Those who have seen him in action contend that he hits harder than Luis Vicentini ever did and the South Am- erican lightweight was one of the hard- est punchers the 135 pound division ever held. The Cuban lightweight champion boasts a record plentifully studded with knockout victories. Few of his op- ponents have been fortunate enough to go the route with him.
