He was gone. Clark and the

whose pale, strained face be-
trayed her utterly. For a mo-

Clark crossed the room and
said quietly:

There was something, savage

seen him look like this before.

to him, had never felt so
strongly the need of his
strength and championship. A
dizzying weakness, a desire to
tell him everything. q longing

cheek pressed against her tear

Fiasco Similar To
Affair In Chicago

Chicago had its Negro Day fiasco
and now Detroit can step forward
and announce that II has had It's
talent Discovery Beauty Show"
fiasco.
This latest fiasco, which came to
n close Sunday night at the Schu--
bert-Detroit theatre, was held un-
Der the auspices of Raymond We'll,
suave and smooth talking pro-
moter. It was advertised as a COM
munity promotion. We'll giving out
copy to the daily papers that the
show. which he claimed was for
the discovery of latent talent In
Detroit.
In addition, the promoters said
that a new automobile would be
given away to some ticket pur-
chaser.
Prizes Promised
To the contestants In the show
were to be given the following
prizes: first beauty prize, new
wardrobe. overnight bag, silver
trophy and q trip to the Worlds
Fair In Chicago with all expenses
paid; second prize: silver trophy
and overnight bag: third prize: sill
yer trophy: and various Other
y y. i..es ,.,,.ar |. the bast dancers, bes
acts, and many others.
In addition to this. the promoter
advertised that the organization
rendering the greatest assistance
TO the show would receive $4,000
in cash and a silver trophy. The
person selling the most tickets
would receive $500 in cash. The
check room was also to be operat-
ed by one of the women's organi-
cations and the proceeds from this
was to be donated to a scholarship
fund.
The money for these prizes, ac-
cording to the promoter. was on
deposit in one of the large banks.
But has any ticket purchaser
received the automobile? Have any
Of the prizes been given to any OF
the contestants? Or has any money
been turned over to a scholarship
fund!
None of these things has hap
pened. Instead the show has closed
after running more than a week
and the promoter has disappeared
after declaring that he had been
double-crossed by some of his
workers.
We'll, who claims to have been
connected with the late Florenz
Zeigfield. said that he only entered
the project at the solicitation of
Clement Mills. who supplied him
with the names of the various or
CARNATIONS and the executives.
Well would not explain just what
the double-crossing was.
In the meantime contestants are
clamoring for their prizes and
