One stumbled over Princes and Princesses, Barons, Counts, Lords, Ladies, Honorables, Famouses and Infamouses. A working knowledge of seven foreign languages was necessary to even carry on a conversation about B --- Ballet The 20th of December will witness the departure of PAUL and THELMA FEERES, the famous adagio dancers de luxe of "Hot Chocolates," Connie's Inn and formerly Smalls' Paradise, for the Bahamas where they will open a six weeks' engagement at the New Colonial Hotel at Nassau, to be followed by appearances in Cuba and Florida. "Hot Chocolates." which has had a sensational run on Broadway, and in which the Meeres are featured stars, will close its Broadway engagement on the 14th of December. The handsome couple are being wined and dined in grand style and will leave with the best wishes of both the social and professional groups. They are taking their special built Packard coupe and a wardrobe fit for a king and queen. Their approaching visit is already being broadcast over the Island. the weather. By four, I went tickertape, and utterly defeated, slipped home to bed. If you are not swinging from penthouse to pent-house or climbing from stable to stable these nights you aren't quite in the know. Dictator Moore, sometimes called Clinton Moore by his intimate friends, piloted Edith McDougald of Philly, Minta Cato, George Francis, Caska Bonds, Eunice Shreeves, Webb Richardson, Fred Knight, Arthur Norris, Archer Freeland, Alonzo Thayer, Milton Greenberg and me to the stable studio of Ruth and Alice Mac Laurie in Jane Street Saturday night. Was that a party? You should ask me when the next day I couldn't get my head off the pillow. It wouldn't have been so bad if we had turned in when we left the Village, but somebody, I think it was a handsome man named Jack Hammond, wanted to see Clinton Castle. And that did settle it. Funny how news gets about, but by the time we got to Clinton's his corridors were filled with people waiting to get in. Even Clifton Webb was there. And so we kept sipping until seven in the morning. * * * Tuesday was a red letter night. Hiram Lodge No. 4, F. & A. M., Prince Hall, pulled off its Eleventh Annual Banquet in honor of the newly made members of 1929. Laurel Garden in East 116th Street was again selected for the affair which was loveller and peppier than ever. The smartest winter gowns graced the occasion and the whole business was swank from grand march to Home, Sweet Home. The supper was delicious and the entertainment—well, the fascinating Clar- ence Tisdale, himself, sang; Jock Edwards emptied his bag of tricks and the performers from Pods' and Jerry's and Lezama's and Toomey's put on a show. The men for whom all the whoopeeling was in order were Alphonse Marsden, William E. Allen, John H. Johnson, Arlington Payton, Gerald Preston and Charles Hollingsworth—and here, my dears, are those who managed this princely event: Ransom B. Bennett, William Reed, Henry Forrester, Walter Hughes, Charles Thoroughgood, Frank A. Brighthaupt, Percy A. Brown, Fred Figuradeau and Dr. J. H. H. Riley, Chairman. * * * The Cymbal Club occupied the stage Wednesday night with its annual reception at the Renaissance Casino. The members of the club are popular fraternal men about town, which is another way of saying that the party was gay and far from dry. In fact, it was a good party. So good that you should know those Cymbal men. The officers are: Austin A. Wilson, president; E. Frank Shipley, vice-president; Dr. St. Clair E. Dawson, financial secretary; Wilbert Riggins, recording secretary; Madison P. Perry, treasurer; David L. Freeman, sergeant-at-arms, and Frank W. Prather, Chaplain. On the board of trustees we find John Balfour Wilson, chairman; George Abrams, and Prof. Moses Mimms. And the members include Arthur Brisbane, Milton S. Butler, Jeremiah Cox, Joseph A. Dorsey, James W. Holt, Edward A. Hudson, Charles H. Jarvis, Charles A. Sawyer, Herman Spicer, Alonzo Smith, Robert H. Smith, Archibald A. Walker and Frank S. Wethington. --- Thursday is not often selected for the larger affairs. That does not mean, however, that Thursday is out of the running. In fact, this Thursday witnessed quite the gayest of parties. It all happened in the Neste Club where a group of friends wined and dined the Chicago visitors—the Leon Mottses and Louis Washington of the many moles. The group included the Frank Brighthaupts, Greenlees, Peggy Govern, Sadie Chase, Carolyn Wilkins, Rose Riley, Lottie Tyler. Alberta Hunter, Clarence Tisdale, Garland Patton, Bob Richards and Lebert Lezama. And it was really a fare-thee-well party because it lasted all night and after a bracer at Lezama's and Toomey's Silver Gate, it was time for the visitors to pack their bags, file into Louis's swankie new Lincoln and shove off for Washington and a weekend with the Curtises and Wilsons. While in Harlem town, they were the house guests of Casper Holstein whose home is, of course, the last word in everything, and their stay was one round of whoopees. They came in Monday night with the Harry Austins from Philly where they had been on a Thanksgiving house party with the George Deans. Immediately there were cocktail parties at Lottie Tyler's and Rose Riley's; and a trip to the Saratoga Club. Tuesday the smart shops were plundered by milady to dazzle the natives of the interior; Alberta Hunter showed the wonders of the Roxy, and that night A'Lelia Walker, the F. E.

A simple test of analgesia in a patient suffering from tabes is to ask the patient, previous divested of his clothing, to indicate when he feels the examiners pin-prick applied lightly to the skin. The normal response is immediate and should be compared with a corresponding spot on the opposite side. Repeated tests may be necessary as some individuals So profound may the analgesia become that a pin introduced deeply into the skin may be perceived by the patient as mere presence or touch. The parts beneath the skin may also become analgesic and this deep analgesia may be considered almost as a characteristic sign of tabes. On the other hand the superficial analgesia may or may not be present. The deep analgesia may be so intense that the patient may have deep ulcerations or even a fracture without experiencing pain. The most of the analgesia is in the legs, but, frequently it is found around the nipples. The loss of the pain sense—analgesia—is more marked than the loss of the sense of touch—anesthesia—in the lower extremities, while the reverse holds true in the trunk where the touch is more disturbed than pain. These symptoms of analgesia may easily be determined and are of much value in the diagnosis of this nervous manifestation of syphilis.

Harvey, Gonsalves and Fisher were asked to resign because they had failed to measure up to standard during their period of suspension. With our Confetti Carnival only a few weeks off every member has set himself to the wheel to make it a monster affair," continued Mr. Cochrane.

Meetings called to order by the President at 12:30, opening prayer offered by Brother James Page Seven Baskitte in the absence of the Chaplain. A large number of brothers were present and quite a bit of unfinished business was accomplished that had been pending. Due to the fact that it is and has been almost impossible for our recording secretary, Brother Ted Blackmon to attend meetings, the club voted and elected Brother Rene Sevwright as recording secretary. Brother Sevwright thanked the club and assured them that he would do his utmost in carrying out his work. As spokesman for the evening, Brother Nat Cash offered a suggestion that the club as a body, vote a word of thanks to those who prepared such wonderful Thanksgiving dinners for them and their friends. --- Nobody knows what the "Hunter" knows, but somebody knows where the "Hunter" goes.

Bain, Theatrical Editor Eddie Hunter ai Lafayette The Photcplay prog Eddie Hunter is celebrating his return to America at the Lafayette Theatre this week. He and his wonderful company are appearing in what is undoubtedly the biggest laughing show of the year. And when such able and popular per. formers as the Gains Bros., Rose Landers (song bird of the Lenox Club), Carter & Daly (Cotton Club tap dancers), Addison Carey’s well- known dancing and singing chorus, assist Hunter and the company which he“ brought back from Eu- rope——the result cannot fail to be a splendid performance. Hunter’s contribution .to the stage was reviewed in detail in this paper last week. Suffice it here to say that in this latest show, which he is presenting at the La- fayette Theatre this week under the title of “Good Gracious,” Hun- ter once more proves himself to be one of the funniest comedians on the American stage and shows that he has profited greatly by his ex- perience in Paris and in London— experience which has made him a better comedian and a greater pro- ducer.

At The Alhambra The breezy personality of “Uke” Bob Williams and the boisterous fun of Dusty Fletcher pervade the “Silks of Satins” novelty revue at the Alhambra this week. Paulis and Darrell, famous among the night clubs for their gorgeous appearance as well as their superb dancing, have some breath-taking routines. “Lanky Jim” Lancaster does eccentric stepping until the dance enthusi- asts are frantic. Ola Wright, an attractive new soubrette, sings herself into imme- diatte popularity. There’s a com- edy quartette of girls and a song frolic led by Manda Randolph.

Judg- ing by some of the names of the members of the company and by a description of the musical com- edy, “Sepia Vagabonds” is certain to be the most elaborate, gorgeous and hilariously-funny musical com- edy that has been presented in Harlem this season. It seems as if Mr. Davis has good reason to pro- ceed with his announced intention of presenting this show on Broad- way after its presentation at the Lafayette. A notable feature of this show will be the Singers from Vincent Youman’s “Great Day.” Elinor Glyn’s “The Man and the Moment” will be the feature talk- ing picture attraction. Beautiful Billie Dove and handsome Rod La Rocque are the featured players. “Hallelujah” Panned : at Atlantic City To the Editor: The Capitol Theatre, white, in this city which jim-crows the Negro regu- lurly, advertised last Friday a mid- night show for colored people ex- clusively. The picture shown was “Hallelujah.” The picture was adver- tised extensively, and of course the house was pa. ked, with a sprinkling of white peope here and there. The picture is undoubtedly the worst burlesque on the Negro race that ‘was cver written, It pictures the Negro as the lowest and most ignorant being on God's green earth and it puts the Negro to shame in the eyes of the world and it was designed for that Pu lpose, .« burlesques our preachers to the vety lowest and also our religion. It is a shame on the race and I think such great papers as the Tattler, as well as the intelligent ministers of the country, should condemn it vigorously. When the show was over. I know that 90 per cent of the Negroes bowed their heads in shame as they filed out of the theatre and all you could hear was that it was “rotten,” and “ain’t that a crime.” I canno. write you and describe it as it ought to be. but I aim telling you the best I can. CHARLES W. MOSELY. Atlantie City. Porgy Company Honors Black Patti TT New York Theatre Guild's first perennial is also its first Negro pro- duction—"Porgy.” a play that has been called on two continents one of the most dramatic productions in the world. During their first extensive tour last season, the members of the cast considered themselves fortunate in hav- ing the opportunity of paying a tribute to the memory of two great members of their race while visiting in the cities where these men spent some of the most important years of their lives. These men were Paul Lawrence Dunbar and Frederick Douglass. This season, the Porgyites have start- ed their deeds of good will carly. The first three days of the week of Novem- ber 4th they played in Providence. R. I. In this hilly New England town lives Siseretta Tones, known to the world not many years ago as Black Patti. She toured America and Europe for many years witih her company. “The Black Patti Troubadours.” She is the first race stage star. Few members of the company had ever heard her sing. All of them know who she is. While traveling South some Years ago, she stopped at the home of a young man who is now a member of the cast. He was then a baby. Mme. Patti thrilled the writer three times when he was a boy, but he received a greater thrill when he was able to feel the warmth of her personality with a firm handshake. At the matinee performance on Wed- nesday afternoon, November 6th, this distinguished Negro woman was in the audience as the guest of the company, through the courtesy of the Theatre Guild. Following the performance, Mme, Patti was escorted backstage by Edna Lewis Thomas, and in the pres- ence of the company was presented with a huge bouquet of chrysanthemums and roses by Leigh Wipper. This expres- sion of the company’s respect for a pioneer on the stage for Negroes was graciously received with three words— “T thank you.” But those three words were said with an earnestness that made the hearts of those present very happy. Black Patti—Siserretta Tones—is now a woman of many years, but she looks extremely young, walking with a stride and beariing of the aristocrat she is. Wer personality is distinetly charming. In a lovely little white cottage on a hill she lives in the midst of a garden of flowers. Her neighbors speak with xreat admiration and respect of the kindnes she bestows upon the children (Continued on Page 9) THE INTER-STATE TATTLER ® ANOS PN yl s}iva Vital Drama of the Lawless Feud Country of Old Kentucky, .with | BEBE TOWNSEND. | as TIGER LIL SILKS and Gorgeous Novelty Revue “UKE” BOB WILLIAMS PAULIS AND DARRELL DUSTY FLETCHER “LANKY JIM” LANCASTER OLA WRIGHT and many others Next Week, Starting Monday “NOT WITH MY MONEY” Comedy-drama of the Meanest Man in the World and How His Wife Outwits Him “WINTER SPORTS” Fun in the Snow MIDNITE SHOW EVERY WEDNESDAY SS ee W.C.HANDY‘ e eo ee HARLEM BLUES oe and Cae BEALE STREET ats BLUES ae be Columbia Record a 3 el No. 148547 coe: ae Sung by ne F} Willard EKobison ea r YM FEELIN ey DEVILISH | oie a (Red-Hot) Played by The Dixie Stompers ~ Columbia Record No. 145977 THE GHOST OF THE 8ST.

Last October, while in Dayton, Ohio, the Porgyites made a pilgrimage to the home of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Here his mother, a delightfully charming old lady, still resides. They presented Mrs. Dunbar with a token of fifty dollars. While in the home they were shown the famous poet's room. Here his furniture is placed in the same position it occupied while he lived. In this room one can also see the original manuscript of "America," a gift to Dunbar. In Rochester last winter, the City's officials offered their aid to the Theatre Guild and the Porgy company in paying respect to the memory of Frederick Douglass. The city of Rochester has the only monument to this great Negro statesman. They have placed it in a square named after its occupant, by the tracks of incoming trains. Here, they say, visitors may see what honor the city has paid to its most distinguished former citizen. Some of the members of the company, accompanied by citizens of both races, made a pilgrimage to this monument. All of the newspapers featured this tribute to an eminent American, some of them speaking of it editorially. Those who have been leaders in making these tributes to which all the members of the cast have responded heartily, are: Leigh Whipper, Rose McClendon, Frank Wilson, Georgette Harvey and Edna Thomas.

RESERVATIONS HARLEM 8281 1929 89/100/100 Gus Moore Is Leading Cross-Country Star “Going West’—With The-“Old Master” OME chupters of the interesting career of Joe Gans, illustrious Baltimorean, recall Don Marquis's famous verse—‘Fate and the’ Skillet,” in which the poet stresses the peculiar and uncommon feeling one undergoes when fate happens to vend a “Skillet” o'er one’s dome,—read his verse verbatim:— Beyond Arcturus, in an poevish wind, ¥ met a rumpled devil beating home... . 4 “And whence, poor Fiend,” £ challenged, “hast thou come? What fate hath bent « skillet o'er thy dome?” There is a soothing bromide, handmaid to the gentle Bavbitt, which teaches us that we are the masters of our fate—captains of our souls. Yet after all fate is not so casily put aside. It is one thing to have a career all ironed out nice and smooth, but it is something else to have an expert diaynostician put a crimp in it by saying that to keep some slight hold on a distinctly uncertain health, it will be necessary to go to the mountains of Colorado. After the inimitable Joe had contracted the dreaded ‘White Playuc’ Fate—bent a wicked skillet over his head by compelling him to carry on in the ring in order to keep heart and soul together. As a ragyed little shaver, we remember distinctly perus- iny the newspapers and especially the columns of the late “Tad,” for account of Guns battle ayainst Spike Robson, and Jabez White. Writers of that day described Joe thusly as he pulled his life-weary limbs through the ropes to battle the Englishman Robson:—‘The marvellously clever Negro Champion, looked like a wraith from the nether realms, as he clambered through the hempen strands to face the ruddy faced Cockney —Spike Robson, It was apparent to all gathered, that the only thing that allowed for such an exhibition on the part of the pasty colored, sunken cheeked Bultimorean, was a heart as sturdy as that of an oak.” Robson, having been told beforehand that Gans was nothing more than a mere shell of his Jormer self, cut out a rapid fire attack for the tired Joe. For taco rounds Gans moved about making few false moves, and studying the Englishman out of sunken eye sockets that gave his rather shary Arabic features a Gargoylian aspect. Noticing that “Spike” carried his guard unusually high and fought out of «@ protection of elbows and gloves, Joe decided to stake every- thingy on one smart move—similiar to the one that brought to him a World’s Championship over the great Frank Erne, in the shortest light- weight title change in the entire history of Fistiana. Feinting Robson tnto position for the plan he had stored in the back of his brain, Gans suddenly shot his right glove directly at Robson's left mitt that was covering his faw, with everything in the world he had left behind it. The Englishman fell to the canvas as if felled by an axeman, and Joc— despite the fact that tuberculosis had already gotten in its deadly work, crawled lazily out of the ring, victor by a knockout in three rounds— achat a Paragon of ring yreatness was this race immortal. Eyre Saitch Possesses Everything Li” most basketball fans and scribes who profess to know what at is “all about” in the sportive realm—all of us like to PICK WINNERS. Two stasons ayo we were among the many who predicted that Eyre Saitch, popular with tennis devotees all over the country, would rise to just as dizzy heights in the basketball world playing with Bob Douglass’ sensational Renatssance quintet. Anyone who saw this good lookiny young giant in action against the great Visitation Five of the American Basketball League, will agree with the writer that Saitch 4s the most improved player (regardless of color) we Easterners have seen all season. He has first, a clever noodle that allows him to be up on every play and his speed stamina appear well nigh inexhaustible. They call him “Bruiser’—and well... he's all of that and more. Now that he has learned the art of body-checking ala Nat Holman, Willie Scrill, “Dutch” Dehnert, Barlow, et al, trying to stop him is like intro- ducing your nose to the walking beam of a steamship. Saitch fits mar- velously well into the 1929-20 edition of Renaissance, and last year his work against the crack Savoy Club of Chicago who were claimants of the “world's Colored Professional Basketvall title,’ will never be for- yotten by Chicayouns. Jenkins—perrenial ace of the court who has succeeded the Cum Posey’s, Gayle’s, Gilmore’s, et al, knows even as we do that his star is set. Sheer wizardry and matchless intuition plus a dynamic force that may carry him on five years longer at dazzling speed, keeps “Fats” abreast of the field. But Saitch cannot be denied. Youth must be served its full measure, and the name of Eyre Saitch 4s Glready a basketball household word, Jess McMahon’s Shows At The Coliseum Te former matchmaker of Madison Square Garden is holding regular weekly shows now at the Bronx Coliseum—177th Street and Tre- mont Avenue, Local fans who have patronized the Commonwealth, Harlem, and now known az the Olympia Club in East 135th Street, are well versient with the type of matchmaking Jess is capable of putting across.

Wills At Coliseum The New York Coliseum in the Bronx inaugurates its winter campaign of boxing shows tonight (Wednesday) with a triple event of ten-rounders fea- turing Harry Wills, in a comeback against Andrea Castano, Mexican heavy- weight, in the final bout. Harry Smith, who won the Negro middleweight cham- pjonship from Jack McVey two weeks ago, meets Billy Kohut of Mitchell Field in the semi-final while the first ten brings together Black Bill, recent conqueror of Eugene Huat, and Frankie Lattanzio, Bronx filyweight. Wills has had only one bout since his K. 0, at the hands of Paulino Uzcudun and oddly enough it was with this same Castano, who won on a foul in two rounds in Mexico City two months ago. The latter saw great pos- sibilities after that victory, which he claims was not a fluke. He sank his right hand into the pit of Will's stomach and avers that this time he will knock out the Negro with a punch that will leave no doubt that he will have to be reckoned with in the heavyweight division. The policy of the new Board of Di- rectors of the Bronx Amphitheatre calls for a weekly series of popular priced bouts interspersed with an occasional stand-out attraction. Young Men’s Russian Ass’n Five Easy for Renaissance —Syracuse Next Sunday gen with seven field baskets and one shot from the fifteen foot marker, proved high scorer of the night in a ame that saw the “Rens’ run away with the Young Men's Russian Asso- ciation quintet last Sunday nite at Renaissance Casino. The speedy World’s Colored champions were su- perior to the Russians at every depart- ment of the game, and the score of G1 ‘to 42 falls to tell the true story of the exact difference in class of the two ensembles. For the Association Five, Malicks and Wolf starred with ten points each, the result of five fleld baskets apiece. Clarence (Fat) Jenkins was his usual brilliant self, chalking up ten points, Slocum made cleven, while Cooper and Mayers added seven and six respectively to their season’s total. In a preliminary tilt, the Scho- lasties who seem to be going some- where this season—and how, trounced the Camerons in a League game 49— 35. For next Sunday night’s attraction, Bob Douglas has arranged for Syra- cuse of the American Basketball League to face his cohorts. With the recent purchase of Nat Hol- man, ace of the World’s Champion Celties of other years, the Upstate ag- gregation will present a mighty formid- able lineup for the Colored titleholders to surmount.

The hal€ ended with the score 16-14. The “x” defense tightened in the second Period while their basket shooting in- creased. During this period the losers were out-scored 16-9, Reese, veteran “Y¥” forward, was high point scorer with 12 points.

CARLISLE. --- Despite the inclement weather of Tuesday night, a rather representative crowd attended the dance at Footguard Hall, where the much advertised "Billy Butler and and his twelve Chicagoans" were booked to play. Although eight musicians put in their appearance and tried to entertain the dance enthusiasts, nevertheless there seemed to exist a general feeling of dissatisfaction among the patrons, who openly registered their disappointment at the type of entertainment afforded them. Venturing an inquiry from the dance promoters, we were informed that: On Nov. 7, one "Billy Butler" penned a letter to the "XI O'clock Klub," soliciting their cooperation in staging a dance on Dec. 3. Assuming that they were dealing with the same Billy Butler who, a few years ago made quite a hit in Hartford, elaborate plans were perfected for the event. In other words, the promoters were unconsciously dealing with the wrong orchestra. The Klub boys meant well, but got a bad break. The orchestra did its best, maybe, although it is the concensus of opinion that they could have played a whole lot better. * * * An outstanding character of the dance was the charming Mrs. Flo McWilly, who wore a gorgeous blue satin gown. "Flo" is as popular in our society as she was in Harlem society just a few years ago. * * * We chanced upon an out of town guest in the person of Mrs. Augustine Nelson Van Allen, formerly of this city, now residing at 105 Wilson Street, Bridgeport, Conn.

In this game, the A.'s hailed from Lincoln University while the Omegas were of Quakertown. Perhaps the living in the wide-open spaces of Chester County had given the Lincoln boys a quickness, alertness and coordination that the sleepy air of Philadelphia could not produce or perhaps the Omegas were just missing like that—at any rate, each player carried his correct chip on his shoulder and the would-be excellently played basketball game became a struggle or fight which certainly was thrilling, if nothing more.

Dent : Cawthorne popped a goal in the first minute of play, and was soon seconded by Hunt. For the next ten minutes the two teams played nip and tuck, the score being 5-6 in favor of Miner. At this juncture Cotton, Williams, Alexander, and McGowan, all experienced men, went in. With everybody scoring the half whistle sounded on a 20-7 game. Hunt scored 8 points in about 10 minutes and was relieved by Cotton, while Alexander moved into the place of Gray, a substitute for Morton, who early in the half had gone in for Clay. For a real fighting game this one can easily qualify, for it was replete with thrills even though the score indicates an uneven match. Lineup :
