The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1936-05-16


self l will be forced to expose
your little secrets. So trillie along
now and be good little boys and
girls, while l break the news to you
because ole man gloom is bound TO
lose. Now get on board that Har-
lem Express and follow me down
TO the Chocolate Bar. That is
where you can wine and dine and
take your time and truck on down.
There you will find the hottest
show in town. Well, hush my
mouth, who's that sitting over
there? | do believe that's sister
Sue-Oh no faint, it's Margaret
Lou, well when l knew her, she
was Margaret Drew, better known
as Margaret Watkins.
All quit your jiving and mug "a
while, and let me take this show
on down. Presenting TO you DAVE
(Smiling) Wilborn in Hold That
Tiger" produced by the sweetheart
OF the mite clubs, Miss Margaret
lovely Watkins, who rates as
one OF Detroit most popular Sc
PLANS OF the mite club goers.
Miss Watkins secured some OF
Detroit's well konWn artists for
her latest creation; such as jim
ME Barbar, the boy with the talk
alive feet, who has a personality
that is a real sender. DO not for
get that Flo Madison is also team
ing with Jimmie. They break up
the house when the grace the floor
together.
To pick one as a star, would be
injustice to the entire show, be-
cause the entire ensemble is a
sender, even sam Simpson the dru-
norman in the band. ~ wonder
why Willie (Playboy) Patterson
wasn't ON the JOB the other PM
when the first show was called?
Be careful Willie or l will tell....
! just found out where the sweet
est girl in town can be found, and
the reason that l call her sweet is
that she has a mellow sweet shop
on the Vernon Highway. Her name
is Bee Martin, the sweet singer OF
sweet songs. Now don't get me
wrong, didn't say that she wasn't
an entertainer anymore, because
she is still swinging every night
at Walters Bar.
UTbot eat,taip uOnnp man ic scan
quite often around the Silver Cafe
1t appears TO me that the charm
ing Tommie Dee has something to
do with the young mans presence.
Okay X. H., she is a swell kid.
If youse guys and gals have a
radio at home, and would like to
hear one OF the Odd timers, swing
out, tune in on station w. j. b. X
and listen 10 AL GONE and his
Hollywood Merrymaker's beat out
some righteous riffs any night al
1880 L. M. AIS aggregation is
running second to Johnnie Traitor
who has been holding down long
time Job at The Eldorado. Jimmy
Hicks and his Nighthawks are still
swinging at the Nighthawk on the
Westside. The boys have been on
the job a long time, but it seems
as il some change is going to be
made. WARNING to all perform
ers: It's about time that you woke
up to the fact that you are only
kidding yourself about being tops
some day, and the reason why you
won't is because you are afraid to
ask the white booking agents for
the same price that the white per-
formers get. Now is the time to
join one of the strongest organi-
cations going, which would protect
you from chiselers. The A. +. A.
will fight for you the same as
they would for the white perform
ers. Every time there is a benefit,
the sepia talent is called upon to
do their share, but what do they
get out of it? Nothing but prom
lSeS.. .......
FLASH. 1t seems that Mary
Hubert's marriage didn't pan out
so well, because l saw her the other
day drowning her troubles at the
well-known Silver Cafe. After
having a talk with Mary, she told
me that she wasn't going to worry
anymore, because she was going to
NU-Yawk to visit her brother, Boil
ly Smith, the big one.
In case you change you mind,
Mary, about going TO the Big City,
forward your present address to
me, as l have some good news for
you. George Weaver, and his Har-
lem Syncopators are solid senders
at the Silver Cafe, especially when
Emery (Skinman) the only liver in
town, gets blowing his top. The
manager Of the place has secured
for the patrons entertainment, the
female Bill Robinson, the one and
only Nehi. Clara Johnson, the
young lady that made Dallas Man"
one of the popular tunes Of the
year is also at this lovely sepia
mite spot.
Put on the spot because he didn't
get the right costume was the case
with Joe Lewis Saturday night;
nevertheless the show went on
without the girls, nd was as big
a hit without them as it was with
them. which COS to prove that it
doesn't take a ballpark to turn
around in.
Wade Boykin really sent Joe on
his way with his house wrecking
music that only the SilYerline
