Everybody Goes When the Wagon Comes, p. 13
Description
"Here’s hoping that you had a glorious FOURTH of July….. In Chicago’s Bronzeville, everybody had a grand time….night clubs and drink places were packed to capacity and the three-day holiday will linger long with those who made merry during the days.
We have reason to know that those who attended the AMBASSADOR CLUB picnic will remember the KNOCKDOWN DRAG OUT incident which featured a STABBING and the beating up of a policeman….. The less we say about it, the better…
And now for the GOSSIP: They’ll deny it but CHARLES (I sell Buicks) GLENN and HOBART HOLLOWAY have struck oil on their property in Dixie….. ELIZABETH and TOYE got whipped by what well known to playboys?.... All of which reminds us to as, why do the fellas always give TOYE spankings?... SAVANNAH CHURCHILL is doing all right for herself here at Dave’s café and JOHNNY (Playboy) SEWELL enjoys her singing EVERY NIGHT….. When you get a chance do drop in Provident hospital and see LILLIAN HAMILTON, WHO underwent an operation….. Looks like WALTER FLEMING is in the middle and MUSETTE BROOKS says he’ll have to make up his mind very soon and decide whether he wants her or MARTINI…..
JACK McGRUDER is still playing as hard as ever and skipped to the country to his two kiddies….. PERCY(I’m the boss of the lowlands) MALLORY was sipping cocktails and riding lovely THELMA WILBURN around in his new streamline car t’other day.
Spotted in the Brass Rail were the following out-of-towers: ALVIN WILSON, Milwaukee; OPHELIA RENTIE, Detroit; CLEO CURRY, ALVA BRYANT, also of Detroit…..
FLASH! FLASH! The biggest FIGHT news of the week occurred out of a Fifty-eigth and CALUMET avenue when MRS. C--- BUR --- packs a punch like the one JOW LOUIS gave CONN….
ROY SMITH was brought down at the “308” club by what MARRIED chic t’other night?... BESSIE DOCHEE is down in Covington, Tenn., on her vacation…. You might tell CHARLES ANDERson that he would have a better chance with JEAN SAUNDERS if he didn’t spend so much time in the taverns…. FLASH! FLASH! When you read this DR. METZ LOCHARD, Chicago Defender foreign editor will have taken unto himself a bride….
Maybe you can tell us why WALTRICE KENNEDY walked out on ROBERT B---. Was it because of SAMUEL WILLIAMS?... Ask GRACE MARSHALL to tell you which one she likes best OSCAR (Killer) GREEN or JIMMY PAYNE…. And did JIMMY say he’d punch killer’s jaw?...
And IRENE SIMPSON finally caught up with JOHNNY (55th street) DOVE…. Checking reports that J--- DELANEY will take a bride soon…. Wonder if LUCILLE knows that her heartbeat JOSEPH BOUGERE is giving all of his attention to a flychic out on Fifty-fifth street…. A certain man who operates a grocery store on Calumet I the Fifty-third block had better be careful otherwise wifie will catch on… We’re tossing SCALLONS to the DOCTOR on Indiana avenue near Forty-third street who refused to aid 16-year-old BOOKER WASHINGTON who was painfully injured…. The youth had no money, so the doctor put a bandage around the wound and said SCAT…. Another physician did the job which required EIGHT stitches…. The next time DOC we’re going to call your name which will do you no good….
When it comes to giving smart parties, the RITZY ROCKETS will give them as was evidenced Sunday at Joe’s…. Congratulate these girls LEUVIRGIA PARKER, president; ALBERTINE WILLIAMS, FANNIE KINDS, CLARA MARKHAM, VALADA EVANS, MILDRED EVANS and EVA BEARD. An apology to Dr. LE COUNT TEFFNER whose name was omitted from the testimonial honoring Dr. John Lawlah…. DR. TEFFNER made a presentation and his speech was much too much….
So GEORGE THOMAS took HATTE for an auto ride and now mama said she would appreciate it if he wouldn’t come back any more…. Now that KELLY HALL has a job, the fellas want to know when are you going to get your HAIR CUT…. Did GEORGE HENTON jilt KITTY SMITH?... and T. (taxicab) SCOTT apologized for overcharging the passengers and it won’t be done again, so you can give the cab a break…. IRENE (Supreme Liberty Life) HANCOCK is from Jericho, Ark…. When you see her ask her to tell you how the train takes water on fly when it passes by her former home….
… Checking rumor that ELSIE DUNN is planning to marry WILLIAM COLEMAN at Ft. Custer…. On second thought somebody said she might top down the aisle with BILL LUSE…. Of course you know that Private MARK J--- of the 184th had to slow down when wifie moved to Battle Creek…. Just doing a little checking….
Somebody said tell the president and members of the CHARMING HOSTESS club not to make so much noise on Fifty-fifth street…. Too bad MARTY McGHEE dropped JUNE SEAY…. and now the girls over at the Supreme Liberty Life will tell you that CHRISTIME NICHOLSON talks entirely too much…. Wonder why RUTH THOMAS came to work minus her stocking t’other day?...
ALFRED BEALS and ALMA SMITH would like for all of you nosey people to keep out of their business. They love each other and that settles that…. WILLIAM BROWN is suing his wifie for a divorce…. And while we’re on the subject let’s look at some more UNHAPPY homes because of divorces SALLY COOPER and JACK N. COOPER, LOUISE WALKER, and JOHN WALKER, LELAH BAILEY and JOHN W. BAILE, PAULINE FORD and EDWARD FORD, CURTIS ROBINSON and HATTIE ROBINSON, ALICE KENNEDY and THEODORE KENNEDY…. Who was the flychic who caused a bad man to punch LEROY (playboy) JOLIVET in the jaw at the DeLisa t’other morning?... Then why did POWERS (railroad) LEWIS hit the bad man?...
JUANITA CALDWELL is very sick… Is JUANITA KING all set to give JAMES (Skip) TITTLES the run around?... Name the prominent club woman in WOODLAWN who got a good whipping when hubby came home and found her seated in parked car in front of the house…. FLASH! Hubby left the post office two hours ahead of schedule, which proves dear ladies, one just can’t be too sure….
SPENCER THOMPSON is tops as a bartender at the Keyhole and VERA SOBRIAN and EVA COPELAND are fine people…. Who was DORA (Aristtocratic Steppers) HODO in Square’s with?...
You might add the name of BENJO (I’m a cleaner) JOHNSON to your list of fashionably dressed men also EDDIE PLICQUE and BILL (Real Estate) SEWELL…. The girls will miss HAROLD KIRKLAND who leaves the Windy City for New York….. MUSETTE (Interior Decorator) HOLLAND is floy floying in New York…. Can it be that wedding bells wil lring soon for JOHNNY GEORGIA of East Chicago or is this just another one of THEM things?... Looks like the minds of WODDY WILLIAMS and EVERETTE WASHINGTON ran together last week…. While she was floy floying in St. Louis he was knocking himself out with an old flame in Robbins….

And BEA TURPEAU is scared because she thinks we’re going to put her in the WAGON…. Wonder what has happened we never see ESTHER P— out any more? Maybe hubby has laid down the law… All former residents of Vicksburg, Miss., will gather at Good Shepard Center Sunday to witness the coronation of the queen…. NELLIE WHITLOW will tell you the rest…
All of that noise you heard Monday morning at the Royal Box was caused by members of the Breakfast club celebrating at their first meeting…. In order to become a member you must be able to drink Scotch, rum, and bourbon without a chaser….
