To the colored plain clothes man the rank of third grade is virtually the deadline of promotion. we believe that Commissioner Whalen is responsible for discrimination against the colored members of the force.

We are confident that he will look into the matter and hang a little fair play on the Christmas tree for the colored members of the force. GODFREY'S COSTLY CHIVALRY match George Godfrey found himself in the match who was shorter and lighter than himse match George Godfrey found himself in the ring with who was shorter and lighter than himself. Early in. The Interstate Jattler the fight Godfrey gained a decided advantage and from that point did not attempt to knock out his opponent or otherwise unnecessarily punish him. For this bit of chivalry Godfrey has been suspended by the boxing authorities of three states, Including New York. Most of these suspensions are indefinite, which means they may be for life. Unless it is the intention of the various boxing commissions to eliminate every colored fighter of promise on the slightest pretext we are unable to understand the reasoning, if any, behind these suspensions. A fighter in the ring is supposed to select his own method of attack and defense, so long as he fights fairly and fights to win. He can go in swinging for a knockout or elect to win on points, according to his own judgment. If he chooses the latter course it is no reflection on either his ability or his courage. Joe Gans, universally conceded to be one of the most courageous as well as the cleverest fighters, never attempted to knock out an antagonist after he had a safe margin on points. It is probable that if the Old Master were fighting under the dispensation of present day blood-thirsty boxing boards he too would be under permanent suspension. When the ban of Godfrey is lifted it is to be hoped that he will have learned his lesson. What the fans and commissions want is not an exhibition of skill in the "art" of self defense but a gladiatorial combat. Consequently it will be up to Godfrey to knock his next opponent down at the first opportunity—and then stomp him. Ivan Harold Browning Interviews Noted News Correspondent I HAVE just had a most interesting interview with Richard Fletcher, the journalist, who was on the staff of the New York Times and the New York World, and who contributes to the best known English newspapers. Had he not informed me that he was an American, I would easily have taken him for an Englishman. He was born in the United States, and his father was from Richmond, Kentucky.

Fletcher was the editor of the Chronicle, a monthly publication in New York which was launched by the late Ambassador Joseph Choate. Mr. Fletcher is a man of unusual personality, and I found him most broadminded indeed, along many lines. I feel fortunate in having been able to get his opinion and views along the color line. Mr. Fletcher and the literary and artistic circles of London are deeply stirred by the disclosure regarding the exclusion of Paul Robeson, the distinguished artist, who was somewhat embarrassed in a famous London Grill Room recently, and it is through Mr. Fletcher that I am able to publish the --- HARLEM'S DUTY Demand from Chain Stores and other Trusts who exploit us equal patronage unreservedly.

Mr. Fletcher emphasized that the one thing the English people have always regarded jealously is their reputation for fair play, and this privilege is carried by the intellectual and aristocratic circles which exist, and have done for centuries, in the life of the great city of London. On November 4th, following the incident of Mr. Robeson, Lady Carisbrooke invited a distinguished company to the May Fair Hotel to a cocktail party to call attention of the public and the press to the Joy of Life Ball, a great society charity event, to be given on December 12th at the historic Convent Garden.

What hops!!!! ° First let us tell you of the bad break Eunice Shreeves, Anna Small, Rae Ol- ley, Bill Pickens and I got. After a mad dash to catch the six o’clock train Wednesday and after being actually lifted up and carried abroad, that’s what the mob did to me even though I did have hold of Bill’s overcoat, that dippy train and they had the nerve to call it an “express,” took five hours to get me to the City of Brotherly Love and yeah Sisterly Affection. And it was Eunice who wittily remarked that probably we could get there in time ‘for the game next year in D. C. Arriv- ing: finally cach of us went rushing in a different direction with one thought in mind and that was to try to make the Chi Delta Mu (Medical frat) formal that was taking place at Pythian hall. From Chi Delta Mu.. Dotty Tabourne, a Quakertown school marm witb plenty of charm and a lot of “it,” played hos- tess from three in the morning ’till seven at her home in South Philly. It ‘was a radio party ..eventually turning into a breakfast affair with everybody, girls and boys helping to prepare breakfast. Did we sleep that morn- ing, I can't recall. It even snowed Thanksgiving eve in Quakertown, but Turkey day dawned cold, windy and sun shiny. The game? Ah, shucks, that wasn't so hot. But maybe I’m wrong. The most exciting event I saw was Wl “Shorty” and there’s a lot in a name in this instance) .Carter carrying the ball five yards thru the Howard line. That was a big break for “Shorty” .-. how he wasn’t killed is beyond us!!! At intermission .all the fair dames rushed upon him, to hug, kiss and shake his mitt. Even I, but “Shorty” didn’t recognize me and he has said that he wanted to see us. I laugh. The sun all during the game beamed brightly down upon Howard's fol- lowers while those of us on Lincoln side honestly froze to jelly beans. But say, didn’t Lincoln cheer leaders look nifty... As soon as the whistle bad blown, Mabel Dutrieville grabbed us and together we made for the field seeing: Dr. Walter G. Alexander, for- mer graduate manager of Lincoln’s team, (he was the first one ‘ spied im- mediately after arriving at the stadi- um and of course.

One traveled from game to dinner, dinner to dance, 80 after the game we found ourself at “Bernie’ Dutrieuille’s for dinner. Really when it comes to hospitality the Dutricuilles have it in capital let- ters. ‘Bernie's’ dad, Mr. Albert Eu- gene Dutrieuille piled one’s plate so high and so many times that we hon- lee did feel like a stuffed tolkey our- self. After dinner Bernice entertained (and we were too ,too sleepy and yeah full of food to do anything at all). Cornelius Cooper who can play the piano swell, George Hunter, and Theus Smith. From Bernice’s at about mid- nite, Theus Smith took me to Frances Graves’ (is she darling, it isn’t just her looks, but... .sbe is very small, alert, has a deft sense of humor and is very, very cordial), house, from there Frances, Theus, another young man whose name we can’t recall to save our own life and I went to the Japelmas formal given at the new Elks Auditorium. That hop was swell! ! It reminded me of our Comus winter dances. And yes, Rolfe, there were old folks, young folks and bright lights, too! That young man who is known as Rolfe in uptown New York had the audacity to tell us the other day that be isn’t so wild about coming to our Comus ball because he has heard that that dance (meaning Comus) is awfully stiff with lots of vld folks and bright lights. Can you beat that! ! Trying hard to sound sareastic, but making a poor job of it we asked him “what kind of lights would you prefer?” Anyway Japelmas was so crowded that another dance fioor belw had to be opened and even then one could hardly dance. At our dances. when there are ballrooms, etc., they usually have them in a canopy hanging from the ceiling, you know how it’s done in New York and our town, and if there are souvenirs, they are handed to you as you come in. But in Philly, at Japelmas two lovely ladies stood on the stage and threw to the guests who were dancing, balloons, confetti, horns, blowers, poppers, rat- tles, truly we were hit on the head so many times, but the carnival spirit pre- vailed and so nobody minded getting hit. Those we couldn’t see at the game we saw at Japelmas such as: Vesta Atkinson. Johnny Atkinson, Al- bert Hale who drove down in his Cad- illac and graciously offered to bring us back that nite. It was nize of Albert to want to favor us that way, but we had just arrived practically and weren’t ready to come home.

BAIN, Theatrical Editor Smalls' Paradise Revue At Lafayette Harlem's favorite night club enlarged and augmented, is being presented to large and appreciative audiences at the Lafayette Theatre this week. And well it might, for Harlem's most popular night club also boasts of the finest, fastest, funniest and most gorgoeously costumed revue to be found in the city. Charlie Johnson's famous band is furnishing the music for this revue. It is doubtful if there is a better band anywhere in this city. Perched high on the stage of the Lafayette Theatre, Johnson and his wonderful aggregation weave a spell of melody around this revue which is nothing short of enchanting. The cast of Small's Paradise Revue, as presented at the Lafayette Theatre this week, includes Willie Jackson, Ida Brown, Joyce and Rookie, Johnny Vigal, Myra Johnson, Derby, the Dancer, Emmett Anthony, Joe Byrd, "Snakehips" and the beautiful Paradise chorus. The photoplay program being presented in addition to Small's Paradise Revue is of the same splendid calibre which has characterized the shows at the Lafayette Theatre during the past few months. The feature picture is the all-talking, all-singing, all-dancing Vitaphone sensation, "Honky Tonk." Sophie Tucker, the last of the "Red Hot Mammas," and one of the most popular entertainers on the musical comedy stage is the star of "Honky Tonk." It is a treat to hear her songs. In addition, she gives a performance in this picture as the self-sacrificing mother of an ungrateful daughter, which is as fascinating a piece of dramatic acting as one would want to see. In addition to "Honky Tonk," the photoplay portion of the program includes those two popular comedians, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in a rioutously funny talking comedy entitled "Berth Marks." This week's show at the Lafayette Theatre is certainly worth at least one visit. At The Alhambra Paulis and Darrell, a handsome couple highly popular as adagio dancers in the night clubs, are a "America's Leading Colored Theatre" AMERICA'S LEADING COLored THEATRE LAFAYETTE 7th AVE. at 132nd ST. THIS WEEK (LAST PERFORMANCE FRIDAY MIDNIGHT) SMALL'S PARADISE REVUE SOPHIE TUCKER in the Vitaphone Sensation "HONKY TONK" Eddie Hunter in the Riotous Musical Revue "GOOD GRACIOUS" With a Cast of 45 — ALSO THE VITAPHONE SENSATION — "THE SQUALL" sensation in "Gypsy Life," announced as a "reckless revue" at the Alhambra Theatre this week. Then there are some new discoveries—a captivating soubrette named Ola Wright, and a long-legged youth named Jim Lancaster whose grotesque dances are as amazing as those of "Snake-hips." Ukelele Bob Williams dispenses his genial comedy, while Dusty Fletcher scatters boisterous fun, aided by Ted Blackmon, Manda Randolph, Mary Clemons, Bessie Wrightson and a lot of others. There is a very effective Gypsy camp scene with all the girls as vagabond princesses, and a screamingly funny incident about a frisky little dog. "Lonesome Me!" is a charming and very touching drama about a young girl from the country, friendless in big New York. Artie Cain is wistful and sweet as the girl who comes bedecked in all her small-town finery to surprise her sweetheart. Billy Sheppard. But meantime he has been "vamped" by a gorgeous actress, played by Bebe Townsend. He is ashamed of the country girl, but an old actor, played by Tom Moseley, realized the cleverness of the little girl and she is transformed into a dainty movie star, and makes so great a hit with the leading man, Ted Blackmon, that wedding bells are soon to ring for them. "Malinda" Now Playing At The Lincoln Theatre After several postponements "Malinda," a drama in three acts and four scenes was presented to a mixed audience of Greenwich and Harlem people at the Lincoln Theatre last week. Outside of the third act in which a very nifty cabaret scene is furnished the rest of "Malinda" is not quite up to standard, although it must be said in justice to the players they all tried very hard to please. But the truth will come out and it may as well come out now as later. "Malinda" is a bold attempt on the part of the producers to sell Harlem to Broadway via the number-playing bootlegging buffet-flat route. Most of the plot seems to be a repetition of scenes in "Hot Chocolates," "Blackbirds" and "Porgy," with little novelty to make things appear differently. The ill-starred "Make Me Know It" to which "Ma-Marion .....Gladys Jones linda" is closely related, was a farJenny .....Gladys Smith better production and did not lastJoe .....Jim Brown The image shows a person with long hair, wearing a dark top and a necklace.

CITY CHICAGO THEATREGOERS GO WILD OVER LEW LESLIE'S "BLACKBIRDS" AT ADELPHI Adelaide Hall, Johnny Hudgins, Tim Moore, Lloyd Mitchell, Aida Ward, Earl Tucker, Crawford Jackson, Berry Brothers and John Worthy Praised by Critic. LEW Leslie's internationally famous "Blackbirds" entered the Windy City gates of Chicago last week and immediately began to build a record for successful colored show hits that will probably stand for all the time. Even if we go back to the great "Shuffle Along," made famous by the marvelous work of those four aces in comedy and music—Miller and Lyles and Sissle and Blake, it is difficult for us to conceive of anything greater than "Blackbirds." As an indication of how Chicago feels about New York's pet theatrical enterprise the following review from the pen of Fritz Blocki in the Chicago American is impressive: Friday. December 6. 1929 CHICAGO THEATREGOER LEW LESLIE'S "BI Adelaide Hall, Johnny H Mitchell, Aida Ward, Jackson, Berry Broth Praised LEW Leslie's internationally the Windy City gates o mediately began to build a show hits that will probably if we go back to the great by the marvelous work of the music—Miller and Lyles and cult for us to conceive of a birds." As an indication of New York's pet theatrical er from the pen of Fritz Block impressive: From "Strange Interlude" to "Blackbirds" in twenty-four hours. What a world tour in emotions that is! "Blackbirds," famous colored revue, which started from scratch on Broadway and developed into an international hit, arrived at the Adelphi last night, a sea of brownskins received in billows of rapturous applause from a capacity house which came to have a good time and was not disappointed. Lew Leslie is the producer. He was not only on hand, but he was in the pit, waving the baton and leading both his show and its orchestra along at an almost breath-taking pace. "Blackbirds," briefly summed up, is a tornado of dancing. Colored shows are always strong in that department, but besides excelling in this, "Blackbirds" also has good voices, both singly and collectively, and its humorous department is really humorous. In colored revues the sketches are frequently the weakest. Not so in "Blackbirds." Talent Excellent To pack all of the worthwhile numbers into this review would do none justice and cheat the leaders of deserved emphasis. So we will have to be content with mentioning in particular just a few. Songs are offered bountifully and excellently by Adelaide Hall and Aida Ward, the former the "hot variety," while Miss Ward does the ballads superbly. In addition Miss Hall is a hefty dancer of ability, leading the "Diga Diga Do" jungle number to torrid heights, or depths. This represents about the peak of civilized cannibalism of the many numbers of this type offered on the stage. There are regiments of dancing stars, headed by Lloyd Mitchell, Blue McAlister. Crawford Jackson, John Worthy, Ed Thompson, the Berry Brothers, Johnny Hudgins and Earl (Snake Hips) Tucker. The latter's a human jello who can say hello and good-by to himself simultaneously without moving an inch. Choir Thrilling Tim Moore, Mantan Mooreland and Johnny Hudgins head the comedians' battalian, and the Blackbirds Choir reach thrilling heights in the "Porgy" travesty and the operatic version of the song hit. "I Can't Give You Anything But Love." "Blackbirds" is the greatest of the all-colored revues because Leslie took advantage of the colored talents and W.C. HANDY'S HARLEM BLUES and BEALE STREET BLUES Columbia Record No. 148547 Sung by Willard Robison I'M FEELIN DEVILISH displayed them without their natural deficiencies. The show was written and produced by whites. It you like colored shows you'll dote on this one, which is eminently entertaining every moment. In front of me during the performance sat a loop broker who previously had told me he had a chance to buy a large interest in "Blackbirds" for the small sum of $2,000 while it was being produced. He turned the offer down, and since then the show has made a fortune for the owners. Also since then the stock market has been exercising. But even the broker laughed at the show which would have made him rich had he bought into it. And if a show can make a stock broker laugh it must be good. And a word in closing for the jazz band. It's immense. You can warm your hands on the cornets in zero weather. Backstage Visiting the city from Pittsburgh is Mr. Louis J. Jones, managing editor of a Smokey City rag. He is being shown the sights by Frank Hailstolk, managing editor of the erstwhile American-West Indian News. \* \* \* Ralph Banks, dimples and all, who is a protege of Titto Ruffo of the Metropolitan Opera gave a recital at Steinway Hall this week. Mr. Banks has been studying for several years in Rome and Paris and this is his second American appearance. Mr. Bank's repertoire was very difficult, but it was rendered with great credit. He was forced to respond to many encores. He is listed as a baritone but his voice has tenor aspirations; rich, lyrical, and with a pleasing and sonorous quality. A singular feature of his program was the absence of spirituals. Mr. Banks had decided to exclude these from his programs. * * * Washington, D. C. reports: "Spreading to the East the modern jazz has struck China. The Chinese now dance the Charleston and are evincing no little interest in the old fashioned "buck" dance which is being replaced here by Bill Robinson's tap specialty. While all kinds of jazz music is popular among these Eastern moderns, reports say that they seem to prefer blues. Ethel Waters is mentioned as ranking among their favorites. Duke Ellington's records are among the more recent which have been exported to ChinaPaul Whiteman is another favorite.

Oh, yes, Hayes Burnett-Howard was there, too. The four of them, cooked breakfast for us, served us, fed us and then washed dishes. Lowell Baker and Ted Spaulding, both camel coated right down, were the guests of Vergil Trent of Philadelphia. From the breakfast party we should have gone to Camden to Edna Loving's (another school marm, and as loving as her name indicates), dinner, but by the time we were finished with our breakfast party it was four-thirty in the afternoon, so thence to the "Mugs" matinee dance at Berean. Really, folksies, I've seen crowds but the crowd at this was the limit. We got there in time for two dances before they played Home, Sweet Home or whatever they did play. From the "Mugs" (dun't esk who they are, 'cause I don't remember), we went to Dotty Tabourne's for dinner and from Dot's to a formal dance and from the formal dance to Frances Graves' formal party. At Frances' affair were: Vergil Trent, Marc Carpenter, Malcolm Johnston, Norman Johnson, Marion Turner, Muriel Kellogg, Bernice Dutrieuille, Lowell Baker, Ted Spaulding, Billie Randolph, Wilma and Enid Lucas, Gladys Hawkins, Buster Hopkins, Rae Olley, Ethel Harris, Herbie Harris, Cecil Valdez, Emillie Brown, Ellizabeth Kennie, Bill Pickens, Bill Fontaine, Duncan Allen, Edna Loving, Emory Moore, Burke Horne, Milt Nicholas, Peggy Wood, and about two hundred and some add others. The party closed at six, many stayed until seven, as for us, we were so tired, we thanked our stars that we didn't have to go any further than upstairs to a bed. When we awoke Saturday morning we discovered we had fallen arches, a broken back, orbs that were giving us fits, and to make things worse we also had a splitting headache, so therefore knowing better, than to try and take in the Omego-Alpha basketball game, a couple of card parties and another spree that nite, we packed our bag and came home, late Saturday nite. Bernice Dutrieuille, I understand, entertained at breakfast Sunday morning. How we have remembered all these names I can't say, 'cause we didn't jot down a one, it's all memory work and for one whose memory isn't so hot, well. Not the least of my trip by a long shot was my journey homeward. Many people prefer the Pennsylvania Railroad but I like the Baltimore and for many reasons, one being for the beautiful scenes one sees as one's train speeds by. Coming home, alone Saturday, I fervently wished that I could describe with my pen the setting of the sun on the Delaware river. Through the bare branches of the trees on the banks of the Delaware, one could see over the dark waters, a large ball of fire casting its lingering rays on the "Old Man River". It was awfully THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Medical Notes By KELLY MILLER, Jr. SYPHILIS is the direct and sole cause of tabes or locomotor ataxia. One of the most troublesome symptoms of tabes is the appearance, at regular intervals, of sharp cutting pains. These attack on portion of the body after another, may be of momentary duration and leave behind them a feeling of tenderness and soreness of the skin. Because the pains are frequently increased by low ```markdown ``` pressure, they have often been considered rheumatic in character, both by the patient and the physician. While in some cases the lightninglike pains are so mild that the patient does not even mention them, there are cases in which these pains constitute the principal complaint. They are shifting in character, often described as a million needles and pins, starting below the knee and radiating to the toes. In addition to these pains are present sensory symptoms described as parasthesia. There are peculiar sensations of tingilng or numbness, which may appear early in the disease and constitute a real annoying symptom. The feeling in the foot is often described by the patient as of cotton being placed between his skin and the floor. These symptoms may appear after a slight irritation of the nerves of the foot. These symptoms appear in both the legs and the arms and the patient describes the feeling as numb. In the trunk the sensation is mentioned as a tightness around the chest or abdomen, the so-called "girdle sensation" which may appear after a full meal or independent of the ingestation of food. These diagnostic symptoms can easily be determined, they are simple to ascertain, are of great importance in the diagnosis of this phase of syphilis. nice, just what one would want to help restore one's quiet thoughts and nerves after so hectic a week-end in the City of Brotherly Love and yeah, Sisterly Affection. --- Say, did we tell you last week, that after 30 Phangs formal we went to the Cotton Club, then to the Lenox Avenue Club, where we saw George Bancroft, the movie actor.

B. Cochrane’s best known young artists. The distinguished people who accept- ed invitations were the Spanish, French, Italian and Polish Ambassadors, and the Hungarian and Bulgarian ministers. Society was quick in accepting these invitations—Lady Georgiana Curzon and Lady Lavery, and such intelligent mem- bers of society as Lord Melchett, a former Cabinet Minister, and his music- loving wife. The actual party was in the lovely Garden Restaurant of the May Fair Hotel, the platform being banked with pink carnations. Nora Holt and Leslie Hutchinson both sang “Singing in the Rain,” which happens to be a favorite song of Lady Caris- brooke’s. The Marchioness of Carisbrooke is a sister-in-law of the Queen, and the Marquis is a grandson of Queen Vic- toria and a first cousin of the King of England. Her Ladyship has made this statement: “I was fortunate enough to engage these two artists because I con- sidered that they were the most suit- able in the circumstances to entertain my friends.” It may be added that the party of this popular and distinguished hostess was perhaps the most notable of the Little Season, which always precedes the Christmas holidays. The party was given in connection with the great Joy of Life Ball which is in aid of the People’s League of Health, and of which the Hon. Organizer is Miss Olga Nethersole, a famous actress who toured America. Miss Holt and Mr. Hutchinson ap- peared on the condition that there would be no charge for their services on account of the charitable intention. Lady Carisbrooke presented Miss Holt with an amber and jade bracelet which she fastened on her wrist, and to Mr. Hutchinson she presented a gold ciga- rette case. Richard Fletcher discussing the color question with me at length, said: “tf think we can take no better example on the subject of colored people of eminence in their relations with the white race than that given to us by the late King Edward VII and the late President Roosevelt whose views were so often emphasized—that every prob- lem arising can be solved through un- derstanding, sympathy and the natural acceptance that we are all men and women to be judged by what we are. Every utterance of these two great men points to the fact that they turned their backs on prejudice and narrow-minded ness, and the Briton of today as well is the American, must be conscious of their august precepts.” Saitch Most Improved Player In Basketball Saitch M What's Wrong W W E seriously wonder wha working agreement with in every class, are really ago, dapper little Al Bro all the bantamweights b and the Empire State chimed in, What's Wrong With The N.

Racing along the dirt runway leading to the ring, the big fellow emitted blood curdling yells that caused a number of spectators of color to join headlong with him in flight without due knowledge of just what had taken place—traditional superstition! When order was finally regained, Flowers, lifted his arms for silence, and through his manager, Walk Miller, offered to meet any man in the house regardless of weight. His proffer seemingly met with little enthusiasm, for not a chair moved in that vast gathering of close to six thousand hardened workers. The "Tiger" executed a couple of hand flips and cartwhcels, went through some callisthenics, and then "held Church" without protest among men accustomed to swearing and blasphemy without the slightest show of protest—only a Tiger Flowers could have commanded such wholesome respect.

The red ball is up at all of the public park ice ponds and at the Ice Palace one of the finest rinks in the country goes a begging as far as any particular interest we might take in it is concerned. Two young "Harlemites" who, year in and out, may be seen cutting figure eights and other capers on the polished like Olympic Games surface of the "Palace" and outdoor ponds are Louie Jackson, well known man about town, and Lee Stokes, who goes in for everything from handball to Punchball. Wrapped up well in suitable skating attire, one never feels the biting touch of "Ole King Frost," and as a general winter and fall tonic, it outdoes anything our leading medico's might prescribe in the drug store. Dr. Buster Wood, who made no little name for himself in such winter sports as Skiing and skating while matriculating at Dartmouth College, is also a great out-of-doors enthusiast we are told. We would like to see the public rinks of Van Cortlandt and Central Parks packed to capacity with our younger boys and girls, to say nothing of those still in the full prime of living—come on out folks.

World's Colored Champions Nearly Double Score of Celtic's Conquerors. Showing a brand of basketball that was practically unbeatable, the Renaissance Five won two victories between Thanksgiving night and last Sunday evening. On "Turkey Day," the champs faced a team that had beaten the Celtics—still referred to as champions of the universe, by a margin of twelve points, and the locals were on the short end of the betting—what little was done. Visitation, who represents Brooklyn in the American Basketball League race, has always proven the toughest sort of nut to crack for the "Rens," and fans came pouring out in unprecedented numbers to sit in on the hostilities. Despite the score of 49—25, the Renaissance players needing but a single marker to double the count of their rough and ready white opponents; the game was fast and furious and nearly every man on the court was a host within himself at all times. Young Saitch was a veritable whirlwind throughout the fray, while the work of Ricks, Jenkins, Cooper, and Harold Mayers, left nothing to be desired. As "Poison" Joe Brennan, Rody Cooney—the long court shooting fool, "Red" Conaty, accounted among the roughest of the rough in basketball and a cool calculating floorman dangerous from any angle, big Herlihy and Willie Scrill trooped out onto the court, bedlam cut loose. There was a million dollars worth of reputation out there on the Renaissance Ballroom floor, and every man was grimly serious concerning the business at hand. The first half ended 25-12 in favor of the "Rens" after the lead had seasawed dizzily for the better portion of eight to ten minutes.

"Won't you please lend your valuable attention to my case?" * * * Young woman not interested in color, but—— "Am half Indian with brown eyes and black straight hair, weigh 115, age 42. Like football and baseball. "Would like a man 45-50, any color, white, brown or black, but he must be a business man with good prospects and must like to go to shows and the beaches in summer, must be agreeable and pleasant, as that is my disposition." *** Girls that are interested in basketball should be interested in this player. "Am a lonesome young man, 20 years of age, with high school education, brownskin, considered attractive with striking personality. Like all sports and am recognized as one of the best basketball players in New Jersey. "Would prefer a girl friend between the ages of 17-20 and one that does not drink." "Oh cruel, cruel, fate——" "Isn't there some one who would love to bring joy into this dismal place I call home? Am so lonely here. Fate has robbed me of my happiness. Why. I can't say, for I am refined and educated. considered very good-looking. brownskin, five ft. 5 in., weighing 145 lbs. Love shows, dances, etc. "Would like to meet some one who is looking for a wife. He must be tall, good-looking and full of fun. Like for him to have a good position. He won't regret a single day of his life if he means well by me." * * * This letter, I should say, is of deep significance and I publish it in the hope that it will help those of our readers who are in need of it. "I want to thank you personally for your noble effort to send me intelligently appearing letters in answer to my request for a L. H. pal. I really am firm in my belief that this institution of young men and women of various qualifications in corresponding with one another is a path to a proper understanding of various desires of persons seeking ideal mates in life. "Have correspondence with quite a few apparently well-meaning girls and have visited a score of them. Am sorry, however, that quite a few of them have grossly misrepresented themselves and have been at a loss as to what to say or do when confronted with the person they so willingly lead to believe they were anxious to become acquainted with. . . . I I would like to impress upon so many of the girls of my race that sincerity, truthfulness and an ultimate goal of some worthwhile interest is the prime lever that will gain them recognition anywhere. . . . If they seek to thrive on nonsense and gold-digging presumption, the word 'chippy' as used in 'Harlem' vindicates itself YOUR HEALTH FIRST If You Are Tired of Your Doctor's Efforts TRY US We can give you guaranteed relief for every known disease of the Human Body.

Hope she gets results this time. "Please, someone, hear my plea. Am a young girl just reaching my 20th birthday, brownskin, tall, weigh 128 lbs., neat dresser, good education, fond of all clean sports. "Would like to meet young man 20-26, who is thinking about the serious things of life. Must be tall and brownskin." * * * Attractive names, I'll say. "Am 19, brownskin, brown eyes, pretty good hair, fair looking. Friends call me 'Bobby' and 'Dimples.' Have grammar school education. Now college student. "Would like to meet a young man rather tall and at least 20. Color doesn't matter. Must be neat and respectable." * * * Well, here you are—you who have the qualifications. "Am more than lonesome, looking for someone to love me and one who wants love. Desire nice young man 22-26, intelligent, ambitious, well and robust, lovable disposition and must have good character. Prefer brownskin, nice features and hair, about five ft., 6. weighing 145 lbs. Must be capable of taking care of a wife. "Am dark brownskin. large brown eyes, features of an Indian, just a little homely, 19 years old, five ft. 2. weigh 93 lbs., live with my mother. Am post graduate of Home Economics." --- "I want to be an actor lady, star in the play, out on Broadway . . ." "Please help me find a nice little theatrical boy friend who will be willing to teach me a little more about dancing (I know quite a bit). I love to dance and all my life wanted to be an actress but somehow, just hate the thoughts of going on alone. "Am not hard to please, just so he is not over 30 very neat, from a light brownskin to white, with high school education. 5 ft. 3 to 5 ft. 6. Am 19. light brownskin, nice hair, teasing pair of dark eyes. My friends say that I could pass in Brownskin Models. Weigh 114 lbs.. five ft. 1." * * * This youngster will get on. His frank, succinct letter offers the prediction. "Is there no salvation for a young man who is trying to make his way in business? A man in his twenties, with only determination, ambition, dark skin and bad hair, seldom lands in a productive proposition over night, even if he is college trained. Though he can't afford a lot of socializing, expensive presents and the like, he does need companionship and a source of inspiration. "A sensitive woman, broadminded and considerate, knowing that she held a man's future in her hands, might find such an acquaintanceship worthwhile—'Louis'." Two is company. "We are two lonesome girls, 18-20, who would have to correspond with and meet a couple of nice brownskin boys, 20 and 25, tall if possible. "We are fond of basketball, dancing and all clean fun." Again religion plays its part. "Am widow, 25-30, no family, Christian. Like to meet Christian man, 35-45, looking for a true companion. Must not weigh more than 165 lbs. neat. Object: matrimony."

Banquets, as did Miss Katherine Noisette, "Queen of the Classic" for 1929. Banquets parties, festive occasions of all kinds trailed in the wake of Harlem's-nay New York's most popular lady of grace and charm as she wended her way to and fro Gotham and the Quaker City. Admirers, male and female, greeted her on all sides and on all occasions. It seemed as if the City of Brotherly Love was determined to make the occasion most memorable for all winners and The Queen, for so many invitations were received by the Contest Editor, who had charge of the party, for parties teas and theatre engagements it was found impossible to fill them all. Arriving in Philadelphia about seven o'clock Wednesday night, the Queen and her party including Bennie Butler, and Wilfred R. Bain, Tattler officials were met at the bus terminal in front of the Douglass Hotel by the Philadelphia Reception Committee headed by Charley Johnson, who always seems to be 'Johnny on the spot' when it comes to entertaining a Tattler "Queen of the Classic." Good old Charley saw to it that the entire party was comfortably seated in taxi's and that proper direction was given to the drivers who shortly thereafter deposited his important guests at The New Attucks Hotel, located at 16th and Catherine Streets. Here we were met and welcomed by the proprietors H. M. Ferman and I. B. Elliott. NEW ATTUCKS—REALLY NEW The New Attucks folks, is the kind of place you won't mind spending your honeymoon in. The place under its new managers has been entirely renovated with blue and gold as the predominating color scheme. The dining room, under the direction of Billy Dumont of the vaudeville team of Dumont and Brown is spotlessly clean and attractively furnished. The service is not so hot, but to relieve your impatience there is directly overhead a futuristic design of fantastic scope to the mysterious unraveling of which you might apply your mind—in the mean- time—yes, while waiting! However, after you have been served you usually forget that it took a little longer than you are in the habit of waiting in a Harlem eating house. Immediately after the evening meal which was filled with plenty of sayings and doings by members of the party, whose conduct could not be classed as 'above reproach' but whose names will not be mentioned for obvious reasons the Party was bundled into taxi's and taken to the Strand Ballroom, of which the genial William T. Pettus, former manager of The Tattler's Philadelphia office, is the managing director. Here, after being introduced by Mr. Pettus the Contest Editor mounted the platform and in a short speech thanked the Philadelphiaans for their interest in helping to make the "Queen of the Classic" contest one of the outstanding contributions to Negro journalism. Then in turn the "Queen of the Classic," in the person of Miss Katherine Noisette, "Miss Howard" (Miss Edna Barnes) "Miss Lincoln" (Miss Jean Powers) "Miss Harlem" (Miss Alma Weaver) "Miss New York" (Miss Marie Griffiths) and Miss Eunice Miller, were introduced to the admiring throng amid deafening applause. RECEPTION AT PEARL THEATRE After spending about an hour at The Strand and still guided by the Philadelphia Reception Committee headed by the greatly enthused Charley Johnson, the Party was again bundled into waiting taxi's and taken to the Pearl Theatre, the manager of which is Harry Slatco. Mr. Slatco went out of his way to make the Queen and her party feel at home and once again ye Contest Editor was invited to present the winners to an overflowing audience of both white and colored who responded to the beauty of Harlem's charmers with resounding applause. Following the midnight show and presentations at the Pearl Theatre, the Party returned to their hotel for a short session in the dining room and then to bed. With invitations pouring in by personal request, by telephone, by telegram and what not, the Queen and her party had time only to attend the breakfast dance where the famous Duke Ellington and his inimit- able band held sway before game time. But before the party left the dance hall it was augmented by two rather interesting personages who fitted into the picture as if they were made to order for the occasion. These two people were Al Mosby and his lady friend from Brooklyn—the fascinating (and how!) Miss Ruth Miller! And they say she has a sister—just like her. Right here we interpose a question. Why did you leave your sister at home Miss Miller? AT THE GAME-QUESTION MARK From the dance the Party was again bundled into taxi's (how much was our taxi bill Mr. Butler?) and after a ride that made you feel as if you might be going from the Battery to Bronx Park, we arrived at the much heralded Municipal Stadium, which was built by the city fathers of Philadelphia to celebrate the Dempsey-Tunney fight 1970 ORA CAREY, just one of the attractive girls who wait on you at the smart Tabbs Restaurant and Grill on Lenox Avenue at 140th Street and which quite appearantly had not been used since not until Lincoln and Howard decided to pull the wool over the eyes of their loyal followers by inviting them to witness the annual football classic in this Godforsaken bowl of concrete and steel. Here the Queen and her party arrived about two o'clock only to find that not more than a corporal's guard was on hand and these were undecided whether they would stay or not. We are unable to state accurately, but it seemed to us that a chilly Northeasterly wind which blew into the wide open spaces of the renowned Municipal Stadium just killed what little enthusiasm and college spirit was left after the journey to "no man's land" had been completed. It was so cold that not even the teams came on the field until about fifteen minutes before the whistle. Special seating accommodations for the Queen and her party was located on the edge of the playing field—that is as near the edge as it was possible to get after encountering the lower rim of the bowl which must have been at least two hundred feet wide.

Despite the tie score 0-0, which to all intents and purposes meant an extrodinarily well played game such was not the case. Fumbles galore and more fumbles featured the event. The few successful forward passes and end runs which caused a little yelling on the part of the chilled customers could not overcome the greater handicap of bitter disappointment which was felt as a result of the failure of players to carry through projected and potential touchdowns. The final few minutes of play found the teams battling in front of the Howard goal posts on the verge of carrying the ball over, but just like that said ball was almost on the fifty yard line and in that vicinity it remained unto the end. Between halves the Queen and her ladies in waiting were the cynosure of all eyes and cameras snapped and reporters rushed pell mell to obtain for their papers what most of them agreed upon was better 'copy' and 'news' than the game itself. Held aloft to the breeze by Messers Mosby and Bain who walked slightly ahead of the band, was the Inter-State Tattler's banner; inscribed with white letters on a blue background were the words: "America's Snappy Pictorial Weekly." (Some of the other newspaper men present said that we had 'stolen the show' but of course we are too modest to admit to participation in such theivery). Moving pictures ofthe event were made under the direction of manager Harry Slatco (white) of the Pearl Theatre and same will be shown in Harlem soon, if not already. After the game the evening was again taken up with numerous festive occasions in which the Queen and her party were the principal guests and attraction. These affairs were continuous until the wee small hours of the next morning after which they breakfasted and left the City of Brotherly Love for ole dear ole Harlem. The ride from the Quaker City to Gotham was uneventful except that three of the winners became animated heathens and almost caused the driver to "lose his control" while curving through lanes of traffic. Again we omit names but next time said names will be published in bold face type. Apologies are extended to those persons to whom we promised our appearance and thanks to those who made things so pleasant for us. ```markdown ``` ing Mrs. Tribbitt was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Wainwright.
