Description

"200 at program by colored club. Two hundred people attended the "hotcha" entertainment presented the evening of May 12 in the hall over the J.C. Penney Co. store by the S.S. club, a group of young colored people headed by George Booker. High points of the evening's entertainment of song and dance were a trio's presentation of "underneath the Harlem Moon" and an imitation of Kate Smith by Mary Kinney. Members of the trio were Agnes Reynolds, Ruth Ella Payne and Helen Payne. Proceeds of this entertainment will be used to provide a tennis court and other social centers for the colored people of Mt. Vernon." Article appeared in the From Our Files column of the Mt. Vernon News on May 12, 2008.
