Of more than two hundred col- ored periodicals published in the United States less than half a score are as firmly established in their various communities as the TATLER. Indeed we are in a fair way of becoming an institution and the importance of our position is giving us no little con- | cern. We look back on some of our jejune frivolities with a feeling akin to regret, not to say remorse, and are half resoived to lead a more sober and dignified life in the future. Wwe have a haunting that, having had our fling of youth and having sewn our wild oats we ought to settle aown and take the world and our- selves ‘more seriously. But not till after Christmas. ; To the publishing racket, as well as to the depart- ment store game, the bootiegging business and the Post QAffice, the approach of Christmas means a lot of extra work sweetened with visions of bills to be met in January. Nevertheless when the DAY rolis around we are going to forget the work behind and the bills ahead and take the pleasures of the season in stride. We are going to get on the outside of as much fowl as our tummy will hold, pour all the Christmas spirits our friends will buy down our guz- let, cut up generally and wish the world and_ his brother a MERRY CHRISTMAS. If our pocketbooks were strong enough we would buy the world’s sister a Christmas present. . In behaving in this giddy fashion we believe we will be celebrating the holiday in a spirit so pleasing to the Great Pagan whose birth the DAY commemor- ates. Christ, as we read his life and mission, gave less thought to teaching people to be good than to teaching them how to have a good time. For one day at least we are going to be a good Christian. ; MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MANY OF THEM.

Reber is (or was) the co-partner of the Davis-Reber Corporation, with Oflices at 1776 Broadway. The corporation was formed, it is alleged, specifically for the purpose of promoting 28 night club in Harlem which would rival the fx:med and substantially operated Cotton Club at J42nd St. and Lenox Avenue. The money for the venture was supposed to have been supplied by a .Mr. Davis, while the “brains” was declared to be possessed by Mr. Reber. According to the ideas mentioned to a Tattler reporter be- fore the venture took definite shape, the chief attraction for the new night club would be a sensa- tional reyne.

Anyhow, by hook or crook, the doctor arrived at the place, check- ed his hat and coat and walked: over to an unattended lady to en- gage a dance. She accepted him without question. They danced a second time; and a third. In the midst of the festivities the lady’s escort found it necessary to ex-. cuse himself for the evening “on urgent and important’? business.

D. ae ea ee ee ee ee eee ee eee ew S OME four years ago there ap- peared in the TATTLER a series of articles from my pen upon the then popular fad of reducing weight. If anything, there is even more interest extent now, in cheat- ing the scales than at that time. The Hollywood diet in the mean- time has put in its appearance; it has drawn up its chair to approxi- mately every table in the land. Thousands of plump Americans have become so adept with the grape fruit that they can predict with reasonable certainty the direc- tion in which one will squirt. The hives (an itching distraction due to acid in the blood) has spread to pandemic propensities. Car loads of epsom salts have been con- sumed. Millions of cattle have been sacrificed to obtaiin precious —though dangerous — thyroid sub- stance. Turkish baths have opened and closed; expensive receiving sets have tumbled myriads of fair, fat, forty optomists out of com:- fortable beds to their dynamic daily lozens. And to what end? Many rortly dowagers have dwindled in to slim princesses; not a few am- bitious butter and eggers have metamorphized into agile middle- aged sheiks, but the great major- ity have watched the unrelenting balances in vain; or worse, no small percentage of the ever-anxi- ous. have landed in hospitals or ended in asylums; and indeed some extremists have in despair em- braced the Great Adventure lead- ing to other reals where angels are traditionally sylph-like and thin. The opulent are between tbe devil and the deep blue sea. They are advised on one hand that re- ducing is harmful, while common sense tells them that layers of fat over flabby abdomens and around hearts are condusive neither to sound health nor long life. Over- weight is over-weight and the fault of a return to normalcy lies not in reducing, but in the manner in which it is done. No man or wom- an should risk the rigors of reduc- tion without a check up of his or her physical condition. ‘Your fam- ily physician is the man to do this. Urinalysis must be made, blood pressure must be taken and the most careful doctor will want a metabolism test. Go have these things done and be all set to start out after next week’s article on THE ROAD BACK TO WEIGHT NORMALCY. Republican section, but there was none from the Democratic side. Representative Garner (Tex.), min- ority Jeader, contended that if all the commissions of the President desired were to be created, “we might as well appoint them and go home.” Declaring he favored the Porter reso- lution for the Haitian commission, Fish said the dictatorship set up in Haiti by the United States marines was one of the worst in the history of the world. “I don’t want the marines withdrawn, but to be used to help the Haitians,” he hsouted. 7 rage nw.

BAIN, Theatrical Editor CHRISTMAS At The Alhambra Theatre CHRISTMAS GREEK TINGS "Christmas Pudding" is the week's fun-feast at the Alhambra Theatre. It is stuffed with all sorts of good things. It starts with "Diga Diga Do," that haunting orgy of wild dance and song done in remarkable featured costumes. Manda Randolph sings it, and Mary Clemons leads the girls in the wild dance. An eccentric comedian, who is new to the East, calls himself just "Grasshopper." At times his grotesqueries suggest the style of jazzlips Richardson, and he registers a big hit. Shelton Brooks and Dusty Fletcher are right on the job with comedy, supported by Monte Hawley, Ted Blackman and others. Tillie Marshall has some pretty songs, and "Lanky Jim" Lancaster now has a partner in his clowning dances, one Francis Jacobs. "Little Orphan," the comedydrama, is the romance of a modern Cinderella. Artie Cain is a neglected orphan girl who, after many adventures and much cruel treatment on the farm where she is the family drudge, has an unexpected turn of good luck, and Ted Blackman, a farm hand, finally proves to be her "Prince Charming." Thomas Mosely is the farmer, Bessie Wrightson is his cruel wife, and Bebe Townsend is their daughter. Monte Hawley is a swell from New York and Al F. Watts is an ex-convict. The feature picture of the triple program is the first showing uptown of "The Heroic Lover," in whlch Stuart Holmes and Barbara Bedford have made their greatest success.

The following letter from the pen of William Jones is published for whatever interest same may hold for our readers, but under no circumstances should the views expressed be regarded as those of the Theatrncal Editor's. ALTHOUGH I admit that I am what Mr. Dougherty of the Amsterdam News would call "a minnow," never-the-less, I must congratulate you upon the intelligent way in which you are treating the current controversy anent Paul Robeson. To save my life, I really can't see "what all the shooting is for." I happen not to be a Robeson fan. I despise "Jubilee songs." It is my opinion that these songs tend to cause us to be looked upon as an inferior people. I am positive that the wailing of "way down on de ole plantation" and "Marssa's in de cold cold ground, down by the Swannee 'ribber'," cannot possibly contribute to our civic standing. LEARN TAPPING LEARN TO DANCE STAGE AND SOCIAL DANCES PROF DARLING MACKS STUDIOS 104 WEST 130th ST. Phone Brad. 6459 Editors' Note— Mr. Wilfred R. Bain; Christmas comes but once a year and it is then of all times we long for that home cooking. Well, to make a long story short, if you want a real Christmas Dinner visit the cozy little Modernistic Dining dinner with a guarantee that you will feel as if you were at home True to the promise contained in its "advance notices," the stage and screen shows being presented at the Lafayette Theatre this week are of the kind to make the Yuletide happier for all who see the program. Freddie Johnson and Dewey Weinglass collaborated to produce the stage show, which is entitled "Harlem After Dark." Sandy Burns, who has just closed a long engagement as the chief comedian of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds," is the chief funster of this show, ably assisted by funny little Freddie Robinson. The work of these two and the Therefore I actually would not spend a dime to hear Roxmond Johnson, Taylor Gordon, Paul Kobeson, and Lawrence Brown all on the same bill. Please don't think that I am a profound low-brow. I like good music, having recently seen each of the operetta revivals at Johnson's Theatre. But, if I had to take my choice between "an evening with Paul Kobeson" and "an evening with Bessie Smith and Company," I most naturally would select the latter. "Your contemporary, Mr. Dougherty, is certainly not the Mr. Dougherty of ten years ago. I am sure that old age is getting him. Do you recall his column "Down the Avenue" and many other weekly gems of his? You certainly don't see them now. Formerly a good old gander, but he's lost his strut now. Instead of all that bunk about "Wilful Wilfred," Mr. Dougherty could have given his readers some real theatrical news rather than satisfy his personal grievances via the press. Miller and Lyles are reported to have separated after a score of years as a team; our own Jimmy Marshall is now manager of the Lafayette; also numerous other things have happened of theatrical interest—things that our so-called "dean" missed, but is common knowledge up and down Seventh Avenue. "In conclusion allow me to state that one of the most astonishing of our "dean's" tricks, was to publish that Vere E. Johns' article. For the past few weeks, Mr. Dougherty has certainly filled his columns with praise for the same Vere E. Johns, then don't you think it only fair for Mr. Johns to now come forward and return the compliment? One good turn certainly deserves another. "There are two questions I have for you to ask 'the dean.' which I'm sure will get his 'nanny' 'when can the public expect that long-promised history of the Lafayette Theatre? Have you lately done any special work (as Mr. Shiffman once claimed) for said theatre? If so, does that account for your use of the manager's prepared reviews of his own shows? "Well, Mr. Bain, I won't ramble on any longer, but kindly permit me to hereby pledge $5 which must go for railroad or boat fare to the Cole Please's farm—to be used by any 'Jubilee Singer' who is longing to see 'ole Marissa on de ole Plantation.' Everytime I hear one of these songs, my mind automatically recalls those THE INTER-STATE TATTLER horrid days my ancestors endured. I can see them lashed, burned, and sold as cattle. All of this happened 'on de ole Plantation,' then pray tell me, why should we sing, still long for that same Plantation? I really think Jules Mledsoe has seen the light, as I recently read in the daily 'World' where one writer was scolding him for not singing the Plantation songs during his recent Palace engagement. "I don't give a darn if all the 'Race Leaders' champion the above mentioned type of songs, here's one insignificant Race man who does not. Have you forgotten that Colored Show of a few years ago, 'How Come?' An actor spoke a line that has ever remained with me and should emblazon every avenue in Harlem. The line I speak of is: 'Ye you are our Race Leader, but you are not leading us right.' The more I see of our 'big' Race men, the more I think of the above line. Pardon my intrusion cordially.

That was the beginning of nightly calls at the theatre, which lasted throughout the run of the show and through additional shows, in which the lady starred. Eventually they were secretly married and went to Los Angeles to live, apparently quite happy. Now, according to daily newspaper reports the couple have had a rather stormy experience, due largely to the green-eyed monster, jealousy; but friends of the doctor will most emphatically differ with this view point. They recall his lurid tales about "love- conquests" and they point to his divorced first wife, because of "another woman." They mention, discreetly, several broken hearts he left behind him in Harlem, when he took his blonde beauty to Los Angeles and they remind you that this one is not the first 'public spat' the couple has experienced. All of which summed up almost answers the question that Dr. Nelson is a modern Don Juan, in sepia tint; merely resting preparatory to another adventure into the hearts of beautiful blondes, or maybe brunettes — a la Peggy Hopkins Joyce.

I take keen exception to a recent magazine article entled "Dark Lover." I, too, am married to a man whom the world considers colored. I find certain lines in this article particularly offensive and revolting. My attitude in marriage is the direct antithesis of that taken by the author of the article. I do not call such unions "an inter-racial sex experience," as does the auothor. Wanted "Respectability" I did not marry to escape "the dull lump of respectability," as the author views such a union. To me respectability is not dull. I left Broadway and the show business because I was not happy in that environment. I wanted to be a respectable married woman. It was almost a complex. On Broadway I met many desirable men of my own race, but I chose my husband because of his mental depth and his understand- ... Oh Boy!

I did not classify him; do not think of him as a thrill, strange and new. Thinks Only of Man I was not drawn to my husband because he is colored, but because he is a man. If these marriages are the result of shallow, cheap and vulgar motives, then they are, indeed, anathema, and women participating in them deserve ostracism not only by their white sisters but by all respectable men and women of the colored race, as well. Los Angeles, Dec. 21.—Happy in their reconciliation after a five-day separation, Helen Lee Worthing, former "Follies" girl, and her "colored" husband, Dr. Eugene C. Nelson, are planning a second honeymoon. They are going to Palm Springs for a week, motoring from there, perhaps, to the lake region in the San Bernardino Mountains. From there they will go to Tijuana, Mexico for the opening of the racing season. At Tia Juana they were married in June, 1927. The Louisville, Ky., girl and Dr. Nelson breakfasted together in amity in the garden of their residence. It was the first food Miss Worthing had eaten in five days, she said. Since Saturday, when she left her husband and went to the home of relatives, she had been under such a nervous strain that she had been unable to eat.

But the revue was entirely too large for the size of the club or the patronage that might be squeezed in. And the two and three-dollar cover charge was far beyond the means of the average Harlemite.

The amount of money spent by the Negroes in Harlem as consumers is considerable but the volume of business done by them as enterprises or principal is negligible. This condition would not be so distressing if Negroes were engaged in a variety of business enterprises. Time would solve the problem, then. Their enterprises are so limited in scope however, that there is no need for statistics. Apart from the professions of min- istry medicine, law and teachings when we mention barber, beauty spec- tist undertaker, cloister and present power dagger, lunch room show re- power maintenance agent rental agent, mechanic lumber, be just about cover the field of business as engaged in be- come in Hudem. And at that is practically all but the first three been beauty specialist undertaker the fields just mentioned no larger sued with business men of other It is now necessary the following a new test of the degree of any be a relevant group of people: It is then necessary to make any initial contribution to the production output of the community or of the country? If the desire to the property about them or the the at least control the concern question in their community? If you object to them and person of other use or nationality to the way you argue and it is quite likely that the will qualify, however great the obstacle to be overcome. "It is not an untruth to say that the Negroes in Harlem do not control or even substantially influence the production of supply of any of the necessities that they themselves require to say nothing of serving the other people about them. If capable, experienced producers should appear on the scene tomorrow, however, there are no financial institutions in Harlem controlled by Negroes to encourage their undertaking. Negroes are not even handling the mortgage situation which is the key to their very existence. There is a very unusual opportunity in Harlem for the Negro to engage in business. Because of the geographical condition, he has the most favorable ecological conditions under which to develop. Race prejudice is present in Harlem along with every other place under the sun but it is passive rather than active. Other races control all of the businesses in Harlem but it is the Negro privilege to compete with any business agency about him. Let it be understood that he will find the competition naturally keen. He will find it difficult of ever think. But he could really expect other races to make it easy for him to do business. Business in the nature of science. It is not a charitable institution. It is hardly limited to the expectation business men of other races to furnish money, credit and knowledge to the Negro to enable him to compete with them unless there is some attractive inducement. To find a way to get money, credit and knowledge of business for the use of the Negro in Harlem is the standing challenge that any Negro may accept. It is the big opportunity.

Practically everybody is for himself, the devil take the bindermost. There is no group consciousness—consequently no group action. Ten years ago the leaders in Harlem foresaw that mortgage money would be needed today to keep Negroes in control of the property that they had purchased. There isn't a real financial institution doing business in Harlem yet controlled by Negroes—not the simplest kind authorized by the banking department or the insurance department of New York unless it be a foreign organization. Such condition gives some idea of the opportunities in Harlem for men and women of vision, determination, ability and integrity. There are no fabulous riches in Harlem but there is quite a large population and there is some plastic, workable material. "The potential power in Harlem is great. A hundred thousand adult Negro population is not an overstatement. In fact, that is a fair average for the last ten years. Just one dollar per capital each year from such a population would have made possible one million to steady the mortgage situation in Harlem by this time. The privilege of assembling and utilizing that money still awaits any Negro that will accept it. "The opportunities are unlimited in the field of cooperative endeavor. Skyscraper office buildings, mammoth industrial plants, factories of various kinds, transportation facilities, department stores, chain stores, hotels, banks, savings and loan institutions, investment trusts, chambers of commerce merchants' associations, all phases of business endeavor are possible through cooperative effort. The absence of such enterprises in Harlem is a challenge to every Negro who professs any ability whatever. Apart from a few experiments in cooperative housing there are not over a half dozen cooperative efforts in the field of economic in Harlem. "The Pullman porters, under the leadership of Mr. A. Philip Randolph, are developing a labor organization. The Colored Merchants Association has been organized by Mr. Albon Holsey, Secretary of the National Navy League, primarily for cooperative buys so that the small merchant may be able to meet the selling price of the chain store. The organization of the People's Credit Union under the direction of Mr. C. Benjamin Cutley has just this month been approved by the Banking Department of New York State. It is a financial institution permitted to accept deposits from its members, sell shares to them and make loans to be repaid on the weekly or monthly basis very much like the industrial banks such as the Morris Plan. The movement is cooperative, however, being organized on the mutual plan and belonging to the members. It is the first of its kind in the state to be controlled and managed by Negroes. Interesting reading matter on any of these movements will be mailed upon request addressed to station WGBS. "At present the Negro's specialty is common labor. He enjoys that previlage through suffrage since his own group cannot employ him.

Am looking for a kind, reliable, serious, respectable gentleman, 2330, with good business, not over 170 lbs., height not over 6 ft., someone that is looking forward to a happy, comfortable home with a sweet, loving wife."

JOY AND HAPPINESS FOR YOU The last day of December, twelve o'clock midnight, will pass a tiny twelve month into the colossal sea of man's existence. To some its import will be only the beginning of another year lived in the very same fashion as the other just passed, with ill health, disappointment, loss of position, the dying affection of "those who cared," trial and error methods in business, and the myriad what-nots that build the mighty pyramids of destruction, with never a thought for the cause. To a few—a very few—it will offer a glorious opportunity for the correction of "stupid performances" that have brought ugly sorrow, sickness and poverty into their lives. To a lesser group, growing majestic with the years, it will mean a re-dedication of self to a service that reaches out a kindly hand to those less fortunate; a building of constructive habits which tend to bring sunny days, and a sincere effort to preserve health, home, business and friends.
