Real Southern Hospitality Being Extended Negro Soldiers And Sailors By Harlemites Harlem may be a far cry from the South, but its hospitality to servicemen cannot be beat in any clime. In the best southern style the hand of welcome has been extended to the soldiers and sailors.
Far from empty has been that hand. In it have been tickets to all sorts of amusements, social affairs, all totally free of charge. Mrs. Bessie Buchanan, wife of the manager of the Savoy Ballroom, has been made chairman of a committee to bring theatrical entertainment, stage and screen stars to entertain the men at the Harlem Defense Recreation Center on each Tuesday night of the week. Already she has enlisted the vices of such famous folk as Sister Thorpe, Bon-Bon and others.
Not to be outdone in showing the servicemen the red carpet of welcome, the Hotel Theresa, Old Colony Inn, Smalls, Dick Wheatons and other restaurants and clubs have been regularly dining a number of service men each week. The Savoy has been particularly generous in issuing 175 passes to their dance hall each week. There have been free passes to the Y. M. C.
A. Physical Department and also Saturday night dances for the servicemen in their Little Theatre. The Nicheithes have given over forty chicken dinners and Friendship House has invited the boys over too. Mrs. Margaret McRobinson is sponsoring a house party and the Lambda Chapter of the A.
K. A. has promised to entertain a group the boys. The Entertainers Club is giving a dance in honor of the boys in service at the Witoka at which quartette of servicemen will entertain. On last Saturday night the Myscrettes Pokens Girls lavishly entertained the boys at the Harlem Center with a spaghetti supper.
The members of this generous group are; Helen Kellar, president; Abernathy, secretary; Juanita Andrews, treasurer; Mayme Robinson, Louise Simms, Alberta Greer, Evelyn Sloan, Mary Rochester, Ethel Penney and Agnes Evans. Really the community has done itself proud in adopting the servicemen and the directors of the center are quite pleased with the quantity and quality of the diver- An Old Favorite -By Frances Lee Barton may come and desserts may gO, but some of the old favorites still get more than their share of attention by cooks who de mand something delicious as well nutritious. Of course the recipe has been changed to make the dessert even more delicious than the one grandmother served but it's still that "old favorite."
