Arnold’s clever scheme to strengthen the Republican party in the South at the expense of the Northern Democracy. Mr. Arnold’s plan, you will readily re- member, was to encourage the election of a few colored Democrats to Congress from such Northern centers as Chicago, St. Louis and Harlem, the big idea behind ali this being to frighten Negro-hating Southern electorates into rushing en masse to a presumably lilly- white Southern G. O. P. One Negro paper of Fundamentalist political principles, namely the Amsterdam News, calls this little scheme of Mr. Arnold’s an opium dream, professing to be amazed that the Senate lobby investigating committee—the members of which do not compare with the editor of the Amsterdam News in intelligence and discernment—should give the matter serious consideration. For our part, we must confess to sharing the Senate’s gullibility and curiosity. To us the thing seems highly plausible. . Mr. Afnold is the manager of the Southern Tariff Association. The. South is a land of increasing industrialization. The Republican party is the natural political ally of the textile, lumber, steel and leather barons who dominate the New South economically and are yearly becoming more powerful culturally and politically, What could be more plausible than a desire on the part of the money powers to strengthen the alliance with the party which is the traditional friend and protector of industry? If this end could be advanced by the elec- tion of a few colored democrats from the North who would cry about it except the Bleases and Heflins whose jobs would be endangered? if this scheme has been accepted by the Republican authorities, and no evidence to the contrary has come to light, it is not the first time the Negro has been sold out by the grand old party. Such doubie- crossing is in line with the traditional attitude of the party from the Hayes-Tilden election to Hoover’s Tennessee speech in the last Presi- dential campaign. Since the end of the second term of President Grant whenever the Republican party has had to decide between the Negro and Southern interests, or even Southern clamor, the Negro has been sacrificed almost without exception. The G. O. P. has maintained this hardboiled, well-what-of-it attitude so consistently that there is little wonder that intelligent Negroes are beginning to express them- selves in a paraphrase of the gent who had been thrown out of a saloon eight times in eight minutes. The Republican chiefs have booted us in the rear so often that we are beginning to fee! that maybe they do not want us in the party. * * * P. S.—Our votes are welcome on election day but not our presence in party councils. The Negro Experimental Theatre in Harlem Fr a long time Dorothy Peterson, a teacher of Spanish in one of the Wizgh Schools of New York City thought of the crying need of areal art theatre in Harlem. From time to time she talked about this to her friends. Many of them agreed with her and felt the same thing, but they felt it would be a very diflicul( undertak- ing, and they cited the past failures of such organizations in Tarlem, “But we must have a Negro Theatre in Harlem, and if must be organized in such a way that it can’t and won't fail Think of it. a section of the city with over a quarter of a million col- ored people, and not a representative theatre to which to point.” In January of this year, Miss Peter- son called together a group of people interested in the forming of a Negro Experimental Theatre. ‘This meeting was held at the 135th Street Branch of the New York Public Library. Ira Reid, industrial secretary of the New York Urban League presented a report for organization which was temporarily necepted . Phe following people were vlected as officers: Dorothy Peterson, Director; Marion Beasley, Correspond- ing and Recording Secretary; Robert Elzy, Treasurer: Ethel Bennett, chair- man oof the Membership Committee: feraldyn Dismond, Chairman of the On. the (Covers One might scour the critics of the old and new world in search of a real “School- girl’ type without finding one-half so lovely as litile Wiss INEZ PERSAND. Her infectious smile is known the length and breadth of “farlem,’— that marvelous City within a city, to which folk outside of New York State make yearly pilgrimages. Photo by Campbell Studio Publicity and Advertising Committee: and Regina Andrews, Chairman of the Play-reading Committee. The next step concerned itself with the type of plays to be produced. It was decided that not only plays dealing with the Negro should be done, but uny plays suited to the group should be‘staged. Among the plays considered for production were; TENTS OF THE ARABS by Dunsany, SALOME by Crammer-Byrg, WHITE DRESSES by Paul Green, THE PRODIGAL SON by Ifarry Kemp, THI TRAVELLERS by Booth Larkington and several others. The group agreed that some play should -be chosen, cast and put into rehearsal right away but not with the idea of a production in the near future. To g oslowly and avoid the pitfalls of Past groups was to serve as the guide of this organization, All members of the group were urged to consider them- selves unofficial members of the play- reading committee to read plays when- ever possible, to be familiar with plays discussed and to offer suggestions at any time. Notices were sent to the local papers asking people interested in the thea- tre to join, The entire month of Febru- ary was devoted to try-outs. A record was kept of each individual tried out. These records described the type of persons, the kind of part to whieh he or she was suited, the voice and gen- eral stage bearing. The records were placed on file for reference in the fu- iure, Some forty people were tried out. The two plays Dhite Dresses and Tents of ‘The Arabs were cast. Both plays were chosen for temporary material for rehearsal, In June Georgian Johnson's one act A Gutless Quaterback A few weeks ago Negroes and the liberal elements of Greater New York were het up over Chick Meehan’s mysterious “gentlemen’s agree- ment” to keep Dave Myers, whom they say is a football player of parts, out of the line-up for the N. Y. U.Georgia game. Every white man in favor of fair play and every Negro with a bone in his back instead of a streak of gristle, except Myers himself, expressed himself to the effect that Myers should go in the line-up or the game should be called off. On second thought we think it just as well to omit the parenthetical phrase of the last sentence. Just when the protest against discrim- inating against the surrender to Southern prejudice was reaching a threatening volume a convenient medical examination showed that Myers was physically unfit for the game. Naturally no one could insist on a sick man playing, so the protest of the liberals evaporated. Last Saturday, just two weeks after the Georgia game, Myers appeared in the line-up against Rutgers. This is the way the Daily News describes how he limped about the field, handicapping his team with his infirmity: Dave Myers, who couldn’t play against Georgia and Missouri, seems to be all the better for his rest, enforced by illness and a gentlemen’s agreement. His line plunging gained many yards and his fifty-yard spurt for a touchdown was one of the bright spots in the game. Quite a surprising comeback for a cripple, is it not? Or does it mean merely that Myers lacked’ the physical courage to face the crackers on the oval or the moral courage to let his coach understand that if he were kept out of the line-up for the Georgia game he would not play for N. Y. U. in any subsequent game? Put this question in your little book and refer to it when Mr. Myers leaves his alma mater to take up a professional career. If he becomes a lawyer will he have the grit to fight your case to the limit or will he dog it when the going gets hot and advise you to take a plea or compromise? If he turns to medicine will he have the guts to fight to inspire you to make your best resistance to, say pneumonia or the pthisis germs that assail you or will he quit and warn your family to prepare for the worst? We ask you. in the heat of the furor against Myers’ exclusion from the Georgia game Heywood Broun called Chick Meehan the gutless coach of a gut- less college. We rise to remind Mr. Broun that there is such a thing as a gutless quarterback. play “Vlumes”™ with Priscilla Boone, Leontha Wright) and James Egert Allen was presented to the group. This play was directed by Harold Jack- nan . The stage set, a very realistic feature was done by Robert Dorsey. The summer found Dorothy Peterson studying the art of directing at the Milton Anderson School, Harold Jack- mamiin France getting a survey of the theatre movement there, Regina <An- drews looking for more — plays. The reopening of the organization in September was anticipated by many. There were try-out and the ensting of three plays was done.

Amid the cheers, applause, toasts and best wishes of her friends; the pretty and talented Katherine Noisette was crowned Queen of the Classic at Bamboo Inn, Monday night. It was a night of gay spirits and much rejoicing. Quite the liveliest reception ever tendered a Tattler Queen—due no doubt to the facts that all the winners were unusually attractive, that Hubert T. Delany was the last word as master of ceremonies, and that between George Randol, Honey Brown and her associates, Johnny and Hewit, and the Bamboo Orchestra, the entertainment was superb.

Banquet spreads were served glasses tinkled, eyes sparkled, feet shuffled and the party was on. The Queen went from table to table, bowing and smiling as a queen should and incidentally passing out the most delicious of Italian cake, the gift of Domenick. David Turner, president of the Social Rounders, the organization that led her to victory, finally captured her, and serenely planted at the head of their table, she reigned supreme. Among those to welcome the winners were Bennie Butler and Wilfred Bain (both tuxed down), Alberta Hunter, Walter Gaffney, Gay Ingram, A. B.

It was truly a big night for Tattlerites. --- Friday evening one had his choice of the Renown Club dance at the Renaissance—good, but youngish; the Merry Makers at the New Star Casino—very heavy and altogether tight-like-that; and the exclusive Les Douze Club's Third Annual dance at the Walker Studio. I cast my lot with "The Twelve" and what a glorious time they had. The Studio was all bedecked in streamers of Thanksgiving colors; a long table on which resided a punch bowl—and what punch, especially concocted by Dr. Dismond—nuts and candies, was dressed in a pumpkin and turkey-trimmed cloth; and in the corners were huge stacks of crisp corn stalks laden with yellow ears. A charming setting! The Club is noted for its novelty gifts which are presented to each guest upon arrival. This year the ladies received metal book marks and their escorts, brass elephant cigarette snuffers. The gowns were elegant, fit for a Paris fashion show, the members, themselves, setting the pace. Alys Lyons-Wright, the president, was queenly in trailing black fish net; Gerdine Perkins, the secretary and Betty Collins, the vice-president, selected the same sophisticated color, the one taffeta, the other velvet; Ethel Gardner favored malize chiffon; Marle Thompson, dahlia net; Ann Carlisle, cerise satin; Bess Mayle, egg shell crepe; Dr. Mary Jane Watkins and Katherine Vogelsang wore flowered chiffon; Pearl Cowen, pink taffeta and Ermine Coleman, green taffeta; and the treasurer, Marion Pettiford was lovely in blue lace. Rose Jeffreys and Irene Alexander, original members who have moved out of the city, returned for the celebration. Irene in gold satin set off by violets, was never lovlier and Rose was a blonde goddess in white satin and tulle. Among those who played about with The Dozens were the Paul Robesons of London, A'Lelia Walker, Harold Jackman, the U. S. Postons, the H. B. Delanys, the Eddie Johnsons.

At formals, one feels that the correct thing should be said—and done—that one should never get too noisy or become too tight—we all had programs—the scrambling to fill in for the next dance on the line is fun—we discovered that the members of the Zo Phangs are very attractive girls, that the Renaissance boasts of a vitaphone, or whatever you call it—which furnishes the music during intermission, that most all the youngsters from Brooklyn turned out, to celebrate—and they did celebrate—here and there howdys were exchanged and those present were: Joe Quinn, Helen Douglas, Miles Jefferson, Ahmed Wiilliams, Frank Whittaker, Wilhelmina Teasley, Jean L.

We had a jolly time, a most jolly crowd, and this was one of the joliest evenings—my hat's in for next year's bid. * * * Sunday evening A'Lelia Walker had in a few friends to meet Miss Wyndham and Jimmie Stern of London. Miss Wyndham is the sister of the handsome Captain Wyndham who thrilled feminine hearts in the uptown section last season, and Mr. Stern was the neighbor in Cannes during the summer of Peter Spencer to whom we lost our hearts in the spring.

The apartment was beautifully decorated with flowers and autumn leaves which made a back-ground for the lovely ladies. Seven tables of bridge were set. A battle royal followed which gave the guest honors to Margaret Tompkins, Etta Cachemaille and Jeanette Brown; the club honors to Julia Fitzgerald, Mattie Bowe, and Etta Hansborough. A delicious supper was served after which the surprises of the day were announced by Sgt. Battles, acting master of ceremonies.

Amidst a really collegiate atmosphere banners, cheers, co-eds, and "the glamour supplied by followers of both groups," they the Talismen hope to revive on December 12th to some extent the old interest in basketball in Brooklyn, that which the "Superiors" of some years back created with their most famous and most successful basketball aggregation of Brooklyn players.

BAIN, Theatrical Editor "Peg" Bates at the Lafayette Three of the most enterprising young producers worked together to produce this week's show at the Lafayette Theatre. They are Leonard Harper, Addison Carey and Charlie Davis. The result of their efforts is as delightful a revue as one would want to see. It is called "Adam and Eve in Harlem." The star of the show is "Pegleg" Bates, the wonderful one-legged dancer who was the sensation of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" and who just finished one of the most successful engagements ever enjoyed by any single artist at the Palace Theatre on Broadway. Some two years have passed since the Lafayette Theatre entertainer received his first ovation at the Lafayette Theatre, after some of the finest dancing that has ever been done by any man. Since that time, Bates has blossomed forth into one of the greatest entertainers on the American stage. Others in the cast of "Adam and Eve in Harlem" are the Three Palmer Brothers, John Mason, Johnnie Alexander, Jackie Mabley, Gallie de Gaston. All of these performers appear in new material better and faster than ever before. Addison Carey's famous chorus has also been retained for this week's show. Their new dances, stopped the show at every performance. The photoplay program being presented with "Adam and Eve in Harlem" is the all-talking Vitaphone melodrama, "Shanghai Lady." Mary Nolan, James Murray, Wheeler Oakman and Anders Randolph are the featured players in this stirring story of a girl of the streets and dens of China who fights her way up from the gutter. "Shanghai Lady" played on Broadway for three weeks and is one of the talking picture hits of the season. Paradise Revue at Lafayette Ed Small's new "Paradise Revue" will be the stage attraction at the Lafayette next week. This is the first night club show that has been presented at the Lafayette Theatre in several months.

Colored Theatre" 'The Beauty Doctor' is a laughing, roaring comedy-drama that keeps the Alhambra audience keyed up throughout a merry make-believe search for the fountain of youth.

Bessie Wrightson is a troublesome mother-in-law and Al F. Watts is her no-account husband. Billie Sheppard is the mother-inlay's favorite, and Artie Cain is a girl with a temper. There's never a dull moment throughout the complications that result from the old scamp's escapades. and Bebe Townsend's beauty and charm are rather a valid excuse for his folly. "Sugar and Spice," the musical comedy, brings Apus Brooks to the Alhambra to join Dusty Fletcher in his clever clowning. The Three Harmony Sisters come from Broadway to render selections that display their gorgeous voices to the utmost, with dances by the Alhambra Girls. A melody man of the radios, Homer Smith, has a pleasant tenor voice. The entire show moves at TOWN HALL a speedy gait, with an abundance of dancing. "Lonesome Me," coming to the Alhambra next week, is called a heart-throb drama of a little country girl, friendless on the busy bustling sidewalks of New York. When she comese to the "big city without a heart" her country beau is ashamed of her, but, after she shows her pluck, he is proud to claim her. There's humor as well as pathos in "Lonesome Me," but the revue "Gypsy Life" will be all-fun, with the newest tunes and plenty of dancing, of course, and a number of new faces among the players. Clara Bow, the star of the picture "Empty Hearts," will be supported by John Bowers, Lillian Rich and Charles Murray. A panic of applause billowed out into classic Park Avenue at about midnight last Saturday, issuing from the sedate and stately Ambassador Hotel. The Junior League of Guardians of Pleasantville Orphanage were having an entertainment and dance in the Italian Gardens of the Ambassador, and the revue from the Alhambra Theatre had just come following a list of talent from the Roxy, The Capitol, the Keith circuit and the radio stations. Edgar Hayes from the Alhambra took command of the Ambasad orchestra, and led them through an overture that astonished the musicians themselves. Then came the Alhambra Girls under command of Manda Randolph—after which Ted Blackmon and Edra. Young executed a ballroom dance and Tommy Woods his eccentric and acrobatic stunts—and then the Girls with Manda brought the affair to a whirlwind finish. The six hundred or more society people present applauded and cheered until the Harlem talent was obliged to do another complete routine. As a return compliment a number of the guests and the Ambassador entertainment staff and orchestra will attend the Wednesday midnight performance at the Alhambra. Backstage Billy Chambers writes about "Dashin Dinah" and says: "When Eddie Lemon's Dashin Dinah" company played the Frolic theatre a few months ago we gave it a descriptive review in detail and since that time the "powers that be" decided that it had sufficient merit to warrant them in having it as a standard Colored revue." The reason for this approval is due in large measure to Joe Sheftell, as master of ceremonies; Charles T. Randolph's "Wilberforce Collegians," Fred Leroy, Lulu Berry. Elizabeth Conly. Juanita Gonzalle, Brownie Campbell and others. Thanks Billy, we were none too sure about that.

If the tryout goes over with a bang the play will move down town to better quarters and more lucrative business. From Indianapolis comes the report that the Sugar Cane Band, under the able guidance of Coleridge Davis and the Hardy Brothers continues to pack THE INTER-STATE TATTLER 'em in at the beautiful Walker Theatre in that city. This aggregation regarded as the 'pick of the West' has received much favorable publicity for their sensational work.

Y. CITY VOICE OF ROLAND HAYES IS FALTERING IS VIEW OF EVENING JOURNAL CRITIC “Monotony Just Around the Corner,” Says Irving Weil in Review—Noted Singer in Recital Fills Carnegie Hall. S TARTLING in its tragic inference is the announcement of Irving Weil, musical critic for the Evening Journal that Roland Hayes, whose remarkable singing, on the concert stages of Europe and America has thrilled millions is slowly but surely losing the voice that made him internationally famous. Hayes, who is looked upon by critics as ‘an outstanding example of Negro art, and a pioneer on the concert stage, has at his command the foreign languages of several nations, including German, Italian, Spanish, French and Russian. His singing in these languages has caused musical critics in all parts of the world to recognize his genius as an artist. If, according to Weil in the follow- ing review Hayes’ voice is showing a tendency to develop “extreme delicacy” and that “monotony is just around the corner,” the world of music would certainly lose its mose valued Negro son. Friday, November 29, 1929 The full significance of Mr. Weil's statements can be gleaned only by reading his account which follows: By Irving Well Roland Hayes, the Negro tenor, has no more difficulty in packing Carnegie Hall with: people when he gives a recital than Kreisler or Hoffmann or John Mc- Cormack has, and this now familiar phenomenon was to be observed once more when he made his first appear- ance of the season last night. ‘This was the beginning of his sixth tour of the country, which will take him through the East, the South and the Far West. The man’s success, though at first doubtless due to a general curiosity concerning a Negro’s ability to handle the song repertoire in four languages, as well as his peculiar fitness to dis- close. the genuine emotional content of the “spiritual, has long since come to repose upon a much more solid founda- stion than that . It is now, indeed. reecog- nized that he is a true artist with a distinctive style and personality who simply happens to be a Negro. Research Evidenced This personality of the singer goes so far as to extend into his bent as a programme-maker. Wis is a questing spirit and his programmes indicate a great deal of research in his attempt to avoid the hackneyed and the com- monplace. His choice of songs, and even of spirituals, therefore, is invari- ably involved with novelty and this was the case once more last night. He dug up three pieces of ancientry from both the eighteenth and the seven- teenth century—arias from opera's chaste and delicate beginnings by Mar- eantonio Cesti and Domenico Gabrielli, and a bit out of Handel’s cantata, “Alexander’s Feast.” His group of French songs was chosen from the least known items by Frank and Faure and Dupare and included one of the most neglected and yet fetching and effective things Saint-Saens ever put to paper— the “Tournoiement” (“Whirligig”), a setting of Lorenzo Pagan’s cryptic verse. Then there were a number of the songs of George Henschel and a final group of spirituals not commonly known. Novelty Can Be Overdone Of course, too much novelty often creates a progriumme of too little meat, and this was somewhat the effect last night. The songs (to shift the meta- phor rather violently) were more the filagree of emotion than emotion Itself. Moreover, extreme delicacy is invading Mr. Hayes’s style more pronuncedly from year to year, From planissimo a TE WwW NDY‘ .C.HAN A HARLEM BLUES oa and Cos BEALE STREET BS ae BLUES ee al Columbian Record ie No. 148547 Eos ata Sung by ar Willard Robison a YM FEELIN a DEVILISH (Red-Hot) Played by The Dixie Stompers Columbia Record No. 145977 THE GHOST OF THE ST.

The singer in his recent appearance at Carnegie Hall sang to an overflow audicnce and belied the critic’s remarks. to half-voice has become almost the complete substance of his dynamic gamut and monotony is just around the corner. It was only rarely last night that the singer made use of the full volume of his voice, which is not great at best, and there seemed to be no gradient between that and his customary repres- sion. One noted this the more because yt other times Mr. Hayes has been a singer of much dynamic variety. But fortunately his intense expressive range covered the whole content of his songs, though, as we have said, this was not as severely taxing as it might have been. Even his singing, as an encore, of the “Dream” from Massenet's “Man- on.” although beautifully done, was sin- gularly like a miniature. 7 “AIN'T MISBEHAVIN’ ” Connie’s New Song and Dance Hit_ HUDSON Theatre, W. 44th st...

We still refuse to make his vote unanimous because we have decided to issue a challenge to the self-styled “dean” of the profession to defend himself in a debate on the following subject: “What Constitutes the Ethics of Journalism?” “Who ig the Dean of the Profession?” and “The Original Source of the Paul Robeson Story.” We are almost certain that Mr. Dougherty knows too well what side of his bread is buttered and that he will diplomatically refrain from accepting the challenge; but in case he feels that we just must give him a public spanking for the unwarranted and shocking charges which were made against the editor of these pages last week, we are going to state now that we shall be ready to “shoot the works” anytime after the forthcoming holidays.

In my travels last week I found the average of twenty men to an agency, and I visited about 25 agencies. Of course that means that many and possibly many more had the money to pay for jobs.

About Musicians By AUBREY BROOKS On December 19, in the Fisk Building on Fifty-seventh Street and Broadway, Local S02 of the Federation of Musicians will hold its annual election for members of the Governing board and Trial board. Nine men serve on each. For the first time in the history of the local, three colored men have been nominated to run for membership on the boards. Harrison S. Jackson a capable musician and a college graduate is running for membership on the governing board. Fred Simpson conductor of Monarch Band and a veteran union member, and Bert Hall, president of the Rhythm Club, Harlem's newest Musical organization, are running for the Trial board. Because we who are union musicians should show interest in our own welfare when given the opportunity, we should all go to that election on December 19 and cast our votes for Jackson, Hall and Simpson. Do not be misled. It may occur to you that you only vote for one colored candidate running for the same office. That is not correct. Since you may vote for nine candidates for the trial board and there are two colored candidates, it is obvious that you may vote for both. We need to get together for our own sakes. We shall never amount to anything as long as we depend on others to do for us. White people owe us nothing but a square deal, with that we should do the rest. The white officials of Local S02 have suggested that a colored musician run for an office. Now that we have colored musicians running, we suggest that you help elect them. And remember that this election is being watched by the white musicians. It is up to you to make a showing which shall be a credit to the race. * * * Harry Hickens a popular drummer died suddenly last week as the result of choking to death after a severe coughing spell.

The importance attached to the game has been likened to the annual clash between Yale and Harvard. Fully to appreciate the classic a brief review of its history is necessary. The first game between Howard and Lincoln was played in 1894 when Lincoln won with a score of 6-5. The following year resulted in a tie score of 5-5. After the first two years the games was discontinued until 1904, when Lincoln won by a forfeit, with the score, 1-0. There was no game in 1906, but beginning with 1907, except 1915, there has been on unbroken succession of games between the two institutions. The game in 1907 was also won by Lincoln. 5-0 with a tie score of 5. won by Lincoln, 5-0, with a tie score of 5-5 in the following year. The early history of the classic is one in which Lincoln may take The early history of the classi just pride as it was not until 1909 that Howard was able to emerge victorious. It may be said that the turn in the road was due to that formidable aggregation at Howard, consisting of Marshall as coach and such stars as "Ed" Gray, "Terrible" Terry, "Gene" Allen, "Ike" Lawrence, and George Brice. For the next five years Howard knew no defeat at the hands of any foe, registering successive victories from Lincoln with the scores of 5-0 in 1909, 5-0 in 1910, 13-0 in 1912, with the tie score of 0-0 in 1911 and 1913. Lincoln regained the ascendency in 1914 winning with the score of 14-0. This game deserves special comment. It was the year in which Hampton was given the Thanksgiving date with Lincoln, having an earlier date on the schedule. After defeating Howard in 1914, Lincoln was defeated by Hampton. With grim determination to remove the sting of that defeat Howard emerged victorious in the Thanksgiving game with Hampton. For some reason there was no game in 1915 but in 1916 Howard won with a score of 28-0 only to be set back by Lincoln in the two succeeding years with the scores, 6-0 and 13-0, respectively. Though Lincoln has won the larger number of games, Howard has the larger total score, Lincoln's total score Defenders Hold Election At a recent meeting held at the home of S .C., Miss Helene Steele, the N.

At the end of the first hectic twenty minutes, the blackboard in the center of the beautiful Renaissance Casino read: ROCHESTER, 9—RENAISSANCE—19. The interval between halves apparently did the American Basketball League entrants a lot of good, for they managed to amass fourteen points to the Colored lad's eighteen, making the final tally read 32-23 in favor of the Douglas men. After the Thanksgiving date with Visitation, the Renaissance squad will level as never before in an effort to wrest the coveted World's title from the wearers of the shamrock. Perenial rivals and more especially now since the early season attempt of Jim Furey to create dissention in the vanks of the "Rens," nothing would please Mr. Douglas more than a series victory for his cohorts over the "Irish." The Celtics have not appeared the same team this year with Pete Barry, Dutch Dehnert, and gigantic Joe Lopchik shipped down the river to Cleveland, who last year won the championship in the American Basketball League. Fans all over the United States are interested in this coming classic. Celtics Beaten. 27-25 The Syracuse Collegians of the American Basketball League defeated the Celtics, 27 to 25, last night at the Jamaica Arena. The teams were tied at the end of the first half, 17 to 17. Barlow was leading scorer, snaring six baskets and a foul. Smith's Manager Challenges Those who know a real boxer when they see one say that Harry Smith is easily the best man his weight in the world, and that if Mickey Walker doesn't draw a convenient color line that Smith would surely take him if given the opportunity. Meanwhile, he is quite willing to meet the De Vos-Ebbets winner in order to prove that he is deserving of such a chance. Basketball & DANCE N. Y. COLLEGIANS (N. Y.

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 bend And we would tread the way with eager feet." Advice given to young men a long time ago was to go West. Our Westerner comes East—and here he is! "Was born and bred in the West but have been here about seven months. Am awful lonesome. Would be very glad to meet a broad-minded Christian woman, between the ages of 30-45—I'm 36. "I assure you that you will be conferring a great favor upon me. I might add too, that color doesn't matter but she must be stout. "I don't drink or dance, for I try to live a Christian life." Attention; Mark time;—enter soldier boy. "After scanning the Lonesome column and being very much impressed with some of the letters written, I am asking to be one of your members. Maybe I will not have to be so lonesome in the future. "Am a young man about 23 years of age, fond of all sports and dancing; rather reserved in manor. Shall be happy to make the acquaintance of some lady who is thoughtful, considerate, intelligent, kindly. As you know, all men like beauty, but that is not sufficient without other requirements." Petite flower lifts its head toward the sunshine of happiness. "Am five ft. 3 inches tall, weigh 95 lbs.; dark brownskin, black hair, dark brown eyes; senior in high school. Love all sports, dancing and good books. "I would love to correspond with high school and college boys. Oh! yes, I will be seventeen in December.

He must be about 26 years old, light complexion, nice looking, height about five ft. 6, weight 165; he also must be an intelligent fellow, not a good timer. I don't care for that kind. He must also be an out of town boy and have a car if possible. I like to go around sometimes when it is nice weather. "I am a foreigner—Portuguese and West Indian, light, with black wavy hair, age 23, weigh 146 lbs., height five ft. 4, nice looking—not pretty. Will exchange photos. Am not money crazy. A nice working fellow will do for me, for I am willing to do my best towards him. The fellow I want to meet must be matrimonally inclined. He won't be sorry to meet me for I am a refned girl from nice parents, don't drink, smoke or have any bad habits. I don't care what nationality he is as long as he means good." My, my! Isn't it strange that while the world is going to the bow-wows (so say they all) so many are seeking ideals? "I too. am lonesome. Am seeking a friend who means more to me than mere pal. I am a man of high ideals and a Christian. Am 25 years of age, height five ft. 6, weigh 160, dark brownskin and have black wavy hair and brown eyes; and although I am not handsome. I am not homely. "Would like to correspond with a girl between the ages of 16-28, about my height, weight 110-130 lbs.. very light and with curly hair, good disposition and sympathetic. "I have lots of friends but none seems to be able to fill the aching void in my life. I am sure you can find a girl to meet this description." Correspondent writes that she must find the real pal. Real pal, where art thou? "Am looking for a young gentleman 20-23, height medium-not too short or too tall. Must have black or brown curly hair, very light complexion, good looking, good education, and must not drink. "As for myself, I am 17, weigh 110 lbs., height five ft. 2 inches, light brownskin and considered good looking. Have little knowledge of drawing. Fond of dancing and many other sports. Am also neat dresser." Inside the boys are longing for a word of cheer and consolation. "I am asking you once more to help me get in touch with some lonesome lady that is lonesome like myself. I want to find a friendly lady who will write me a few words of consolation and I will start life all over again and I am sure that I will go the right way. Now for a description of myself: Age 41. height five ft. 6. darkn brownskin. and a hard working man, lover of all sports. "The lady may be a widow. A few children do not matter. I always liked children. Would like for her to be a home-loving lady that will help me start life anew and help make the future worthwhile." "I am 18 and all my people have turned their backs on me. If there is a man or woman in your employ that would be so kind as to write me a letter now and then to give me a little consolation, I would appreciate it very much. "I do hope I shall receive an answer soon, as I shall be anxious." "It seems that most of the girls in and around New York City prefer to be the passing fancy of some sheik than to be the friend of an honest pal. "Be that as it may, if there is a woman in any of the five boroughs who is sympathetic enough and brave enough to become the pen pal and friend of a man who has made a mistake, I can assure her that she will not regret it. "Am brownskin, tall and between 30-35 years of age, a lover of sports and good reading, and can assure the lady that she won't be ashamed of me." * * * "You may suspect that I am a bad fellow, but I am not and I am not trying to fool anybody. Probably you can get me a pen pal. I am not hard to please, but you must let her know my position—a prisoner. Some nice girl. 25-30, who will understand my position and maybe we can make each other happy. "I am five ft. 7, weigh 150 lbs., light brownskin, curly black hair." * * * "Am from the sunny South and have no relatives here. Am greatly impressed with the work you have done for others. Am 28 years. five ft. 7. brownskin, and an auto-mechanic by trade. "Would like a girl 23-30. five ft. 5. weight around 130 lbs., and brownskin, one who is looking for a home and will give a helping hand, and who likes amusements." Isn't he romantic? "Have read the famous 'Lonesome Hearts' of the Tattler several times. "I live in a small city and it seems impossible to find a real nice clean girl. Will you please introduce me to one?

Miss Noisette, although one of the leaders in the contest from the start was never better than sixth at any time. Nevertheless she managed to keep within hailing distance of the top runners. Just as the contest was drawn to a close Miss Noisette demonstrated her full power and pulled victory from under the nose of Miss Edna Barnes, who made a gallant, game and determined effort only to find that Miss Noisette had won by 245,000 votes, when the judges announced their final count. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a monochrome portrait of a person with dark hair, wearing a necklace. The background is indistinct and dark. Radiant KATHERINE NOISETTE, well known movie star who in an eleventh hour drive, swept on to glorious victory in INTERSTATE TATTLER'S sensational "Queen of the Classic" Contest. Miss Noisette was supported in her great fight for victory by the 'Social Rounders' Club,'—the crowning at Bamboo Inn was the talk of the town.

Between the last three named winners there was little to choose, they being separated by a little less than 150,000 votes. Still closer however, was the margin that seperated Nathalie Macklin, sixth; Christine Murphy, seventh and Severna Saunders eighth. Gloria McCutcheon, from whom her friends expected much failed to fulfill their expectations by finishing "in the money." In behalf of Miss McCutcheon it should be noted here that for a considerable period during the contest she was confined to her home while fighting off an attack of la grippe. Miss Eunice Miller, Wadleigh High School student, with 377,000 votes completes the first ten girls in the contest according to the final standing.

However, the late start was a tremendous handicap from which they never fully recovered. The above mentioned young ladies have all qualified for the trip to the Lincoln-Howard football game as the guests of the Inter-State Tattler and left for Philadelphia on Wednesday. Prior to their Quaker City engagement the first six girls received the following prizes at the Bamboo Inn, Miss Noisette, $200 in gold and the title of "Queen of the Classic" for 1929. Miss Barnes and Miss Powers received $125 and $75 respectively and the titles of "Miss Howard" and "Miss Lincoln." Miss Weaver and Miss Griffiths re- 1. AIMA WEAVER, beautiful fourth winner of the "Classic," who will hereafter be known as "Miss Harlem." ceived a $50 diamond ring and a $35 wrist watch as well as the titles of "Miss Harlem" and "Miss New York." Miss Nathalie Macklin, who finished sixth was given an order on the Viceroy Shoe Company to select any pair of shoes in the house and she is probably wearing them to the game. A most unexpected and peculiar twist to this year's "Queen of the Classic" was the final position occupied by Miss Macklin and Miss Saunders, both of whom practically 'made the race' for the other candidates from the very beginning. For two weeks straight Miss Macklin, who was supported by the New York Academy of Business, ran ahead of her field, in the leading position. Then came a lull in which Miss McCutcheon and Miss Barnes came forward to command attention by taking the lead themselves. Miss Macklin verbally threatened to 'get back on top next week,' but her hopes were never fully justified again in the contest. Miss Saunders, appearantly was in a similar state of mind. Although she never stepped into the lead she was always a good threat and weekly her friends would call the office to inquire if she had finally polled enough votes to put her on top, only to be informed to the contrary. On the other hand Miss Edna Barnes. Miss Weaver and Miss Christine Murphy all made a remarkable showing throughout the contest. Miss Barnes and Miss Murphy did exceptionally well. Miss Barnes, who came very close to winning has the comfort of knowing that she always managed to run one, two in the contest while Miss Murphy must console herself with the thought that she did her very best and just did manage to miss one of the six prizes. For fear that some people may have over-looked our announcement of last week in which the winners of the comedy-drama letters were mentioned the same is herewith repeated. They are Edna Barnes, first, 150,000 votes; Christine Murphy, second 50,000 votes and Eunice Miller third, 25,000 votes.

Dressmakers Urged to Join Union (Courtesy of N. Y. Times) Plans for the organization of 4,000 Negro dressmakers, as part of the preparations now under way for a general strike of 45,000 dressmakers in this city in January, were discussed yesterday at a conference of officials of the International Ladies' Garment Worker's Union and representatives of church, press and benevolent organizations of Harlem, at the Civic Club, 18 East Tenth Street. Negro leaders, who pledged their assistance to the unionization campaign, heard Julius Hoechman, vice-president of the international, and Floria Pinckney, special Negro organizer, explain conditions in the industry. They declared that non-union negro dress-makers get about half the wages of union workers and work fifty-two to fifty-six hours a week, compared with a five-day forty-hour week in union establishments. The conference voted to resolve itself into a permanent committee for the organization of colored workers in the dress industry. Rosa H.
