The Incident In Sweden Increases Popularity In all the countries she visited Little Esther has had the biggest success in Sweden, not because of her talent alone, but because the owner of a restaurant, one liranada Tomtom, who had lived in America, refused to serve her.

The Swedish papers made it. hot for Tomtom, while Little Esther, her mother, and her manager, received invitation from some of the highest persons, socially, to visit them in their homes, just to show how strongly they disapproved of Tomtom's conduct. The Blad called the incident "the greatest scandal Stockholm has ever and asked: "Has the owner of a restaurant the right to behave the way lie likes to the customers who visit his place? That was the question asked in Stockholm yesterday. The glass of milk that was refused Little Esther has caused as much indignation as a real crime. "As regards serving colored people I don't think that the reason is that the owner, himself, has a personal aversion to colored people.

It is more likely that lie thinks it smart to be American. Or does Tie think, perhaps, that his other guests would object to be served in the same restaurant with a Negro? If he does he shows very bad judgment." The Stockholm Dagblad also made an inquiry at all the leading restaurants and hotels regarding their atti-ude toward receiving colored people, anil it said: "Our Inquiry shows that in all our leading restaurants and hotels Little Esther or any other Negro would be recciv-d with pleasure, except at Branda Tomtom's. Little Esther, especially would be welcomed because of her popularity." Such a shower of ridicule poured in on Tomtom that he was forced to PI chili guests were Miss Thelma Le-lande, I)rs. Julian B.
