DIETING MAKING BUSINESS
GIRLS CRANKY

One reason why so many business
girls and women develop case OF
NERVES" before closing time is be-
cause the fad for reducing has taken
hold of them when they know little
or nothing about the dangers OF
wrong dieting.
Dieting is a good thing for many,
provided it is undertaken under
Skilled physician or dietitian, or after
lengthy study of foods and their val
ue. Hit and miss dieting, however,
is a dangerous practice.
The elimination of needed energy
foods-sugars and starches-is re-
garded by many as one of the reasons
| for these tattered tempers possessed
| by girls and women in business. the
head of a large employment agency
said, my theory is that excessive
dietinr weakens girls resistance 10
the petty trials and annoyances tnal
are inseparable from business. Shes
too prone to fly off the handle or 70
break down and weep If anyone finds
the slightest fault with her work.
A quick energy food is often needed
before lunch or late in the afternoon
particularly If the business girl Is
attempting to deprive herself OF need

culinary organizations Of great cir
cuses and carnivals, nor the lonely
cook that. feeds the smaller touring
outfits. At that, each and all OF the
several thousand of these would re-
sent in vigorous terms the implica-
ton that they are NOT show people.
Now that the occupational divisions
have been established, let us give at
tention to the social aspects OF the
amusement world. 1t is to the in
door elements that most interest at
taches, hence they shall be given the
principal consideration.
Some illustrations will best indi-
cate the ramifications OF character
revelations possible to those who sur
yey the field. There are two big re-
ligious activities in show circles. One
is the Actors Church Alliance, a
Protestant organization that numbers
more than twenty thousand OF the
before mentioned two hundred thou
sand people in the show business.
Many of these are people OF the
darker hueS.

trades and professions are active
members of a religious organization?
Adhering strictly to our own, here
after, may we ask: Do you know that
an organization called the Deacons'
Club of Prince Hall Masons with 81
branches called "Amen Corners" SUI
stains contacts with a minister of the
gospel, a doctor and an attorney in
each of that many key towns for
such travelling MaSons as may be in
show business and in need of pro-
fessional advice and counsel while
away from their home lodges? Do
you know that the Masonic teachings
are fabricated upon the Holy Bible?
The connection is obvious.
You may not know that the Grace
Congregational Church of Harlem is
the largest and most active, yet one
of the youngest churches of that de-
nomination in the United States,
and you may not be aware that Rev,
Alexander Garner numbers more
than three hundred show people and
their families on the membership

That Sort of People are Show Folks?
register of that church.

register of that church.
Several other churches have &C
tor memberships Of somewhat less
numerical strength. Some concrete
examples of the religious scruples OF
show folk are here submitted.
Sarah Martin, the amiable blues
singer, whose records may be found
in many homes, so thoroughly hates
what she regards as an irreverence
that she absolutely refused to work
on program with the act Of Hooten
and Hooten who do comedy turn
based upon the rantings of an old
time ignorant minister, in which Mr..
Hooten, made up to character, re-
cities the alphabet-A, B, B, etc., in
sonorous and melodic imitation OF
the emotional preacher.
Miss Martin sacrificed, not only a
weeks work at $500, but lost more
time to have the agents alter her
route to avoid this act for the season.
Just to show the eternal similarity
of mankind and how divergent peo-
pies views may be upon the subject
of religion; it is a bit of irony to re-
late that Hooten and Hooten are
both sustaining members Of a big
Baltimore Baptist Church. They
own their home in that city and both
ere fraternally connected. He is a
Mason and his wife is a member OF
the Order of Eastern Star.
Hooten insists that his act does
not reflect upon religion, but helps
materially to crystalline public opin-
ion against the mountebank who
may be found preying upon our peo-
pie in the name of religion. He is
opposed to ignorance in the pulpit
and is trying to have it laughed out
of the holy places.
Now, don't those show people diff
fer with the same right to do so as
all other people enjoy where their
religious views are involved?
1t may interest you to recall that
Noble Sissle is the son of minister
of the Methodist church, long sta
toned in Cleveland and Indianapo-
lis. and that Noble himself has spent
many Sundays in the choir lott OF
those and other churches.
Rev. Moses, New YORK Baptist
divine, has two daughters in the
chorus. Miss Boyd, the leading lady
in a Norman Company picture but
RECENTLY showed in colored theatres,
