The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1939-08-19

The good old summer season at this
hour is doing alright at least to
your reporter who gets the opportu-
nifty to enjoy Boston Better beaches
such as City Point, Carson and Malibu
Beaches. This Atlantic ocean of
ours is mighty nice if it can be APP
preached from down the Cape way.
but at the beaches mentioned above
one has to dodge and duck strange
obstacles that bob about as you swim
and above all things ones mouth must
be shut tight all in all it's refresh
ing to be able to reach some cool spot
even Frog Pond on the Common or
Mass. Ave Park when the old sun
rays beat out hot degree About
Town o.. the Jenkins Orphanage crew
impress this writer very much with
their talented voices as they render
spirituals through Boston Streets
it would be nice if some group or
organization offered these orphans the
opportunity to sing in various church
es, community houses, etc. The
Boy Scout Troop of Harold Frye of
st. Marks are off for a few weeks
encampment at New England's lead
ing Scout Camp, Loon Pond it
would be nice if more colored Scout
Troops could vacation at this particu-
lar camp in Lakeville, Mass, where
every scout has the opportunity to
really learn something. >. Congratula-
tions to Harold Wheaton and Muriel
West who were married last Saturday
. we wish Harold and Muriel, two
swell kids all the happiness and sue
cess in the world. . For shame. YOU
guys. Someone wanted to call out
the riot squad to capture some odd
looking creatures running and jump
ing about the Columbus Ave. tennis
courts . can't men wear shorts if
they want to? =. after all some men
have lovely limbs and you wouldn't
want them hidden by long pants.
dear me E. Well, alright your
dancing promoter, Herbert Jaxon, is
at your service again and this time
with Ella Fitzgerald and the late
Chick Webb's Band at the Revere
Plaza, August %. Herbie, you're
doing fine, fellow, but we think you
should have brought Ella and the boys
to Mechanics Building e. Judging by
the town gossip all New England will
be there Matte Wynn is doing
alright behind the wheel of her nice
looking car the Fleets in
mean Fleet Taylor is in town after a
very successful baseball tour with
Berlin White and the lads Z. . many a
fair maiden whose heart was aching
for a glimpse Of the handsome lover
will now be taken care of :. but Fleet
is a mans man, real lover of the
great out-of-doors e. yeh, providing
a chick is out there who was the
charming young lady who found her
self in tears on the steps of a popular
chinatown restaurant in town for
no real reason at all? who was
the gallant knight who so graciously
scooped up the tear soaked Lii and
rushed her into waiting cab?
Frank Venable says, could be?
1.-The King Is Dead, Long Live the
King" =. thus is the story of Glenn
ent 0. Thorne and Herbert Jackson.
Mr.. Thorne the popular dancing
instructor and promoter passed away
last week after a long illness. Mr..
Thorne was nationally known and will
always be remembered as a popular
public figure and friend of the people
we deeply regret his departure
the new promoter, Herbert Jack
son, has already made a good start in
filling the shoes of Clement o. Thorne.
49,. Dudley Theatre g.. on strike
the Dudley Theatre in the Roxbury
District on Washington st. facing
Ruggles is on strike or was
we noticed the line up of the strikers
as they paraded in front of the theatre
and we got yet to see a colored face
.. the reason being the Dudley Thea
tire in the heart of the colored district
has refused time and time again to
hire colored ushers, etc. yet the col
ored people still continue to support
such a business establishment that
would collapse in New York or Chi
cago where the colored people of those
progressive cities stick together
in comparison the Roxbury Theatre,
a much smaller emporium, has no
cause for strike the Roxbury
Theatre under the management of Leo
Leiberman not only pays their employ
ees a living wage but they recognize
and show their appreciation to their
colored patrons by employing colored
help it has been told to this writer
that it will be only a matter of few
short months that Leo Leiberman, a
CONSTANT foe of segregation, will
have employees on a fifty-ffty score,
half white and half colored . r.. a move
you have to be cheering for what
are you going to do about the Dudley
Theatre 2. here's hoping that Ansel-
mo Krigger, consulting civil engineer
is chosen the Director of Civil Service
for Massachusetts his qualifca-
ton is "tops" Clarence G.. Scott
noted fraternity head is preparing a
very timely program and reception
