1: A' Psja Tea In The Realm Of MUSIC By EDWARD BOATNEB It to pity that well thinking Negroes have to be considered a part of those who are ashamed of everything that appears to be Negroid. This type of person is prevalent in our musical circles. All stager of color who say they do not like Spirituals and cannot sing them disgust me and every telf respecting Negro. There are many of these people In New York from the South who were reared in the hotbed of the Spirituals, having heard their mothers, grandmothers and kindreds singing these beautiful songs which the world considers the real American folk tunes, ard who re fuse to sing them as soon as they are taught one song in a foreign tongue. And mind you, this train, lag to usually administered "parrot fashion." Soma years ago agreed to roach a singer in German lieder of this same calibre.

After she had nerfected the songs by Schu mann, Schubert and Brahms I disrated, in making up her pro mo. that she include at least three Spirituals. She performed like an accomplished, tem Btramental artist, saying: "Oh, ust cant sing spirituals. They don't interest me." Kind you, she ha was from Mississippi Never Lhaleis. after some argument I mum able to convince her that ev err Negro singer has a right to appreciate these songs just as much as the Italian, German and the ITench appreciate their folksongs.

Bfae agreed to do one spiritual, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," but aha would not ting it in dialect aVhen she came to the phrase, "i ain't got long to stay here," she persisted in saying, "I haven't got long to remain here." This she did on the night of the concert, and, of course, the critics tore I that part of the program to piec e. Such a position about spirituals to not only utter ingratitude but shows disrespect in the vilest way to our forefathers who tang these songs in the days of the black man's oppression. They an Just as important to the life of a real Negro as Che Emancipation Proclamation. Lavrecce Wtiscnant Of Critics Fcr WASHINGTON. D.

C. Out standing music critics are unanimous In their decision that Law rence wnuonani, youuuui can tone and June graduate of the Music School at Howard University, is one of the most promising discoveries of the current season. Whlsonant who won both popularity and esteem on the Howard University campus during his undergraduate dayt at the university, was lauded recently in New York City by musio critics for his solo In the new Negro opera, "Ounga." Bailed As ilsfTahleent Henry Simon, music critic of New York City's PM newspaper, aid of the performers: What was really impressive was the work of the soloists. Since "Porgy and Bets" everyone has known that Anna Wiggins Brown not only has a beautiful voice, but can sing with dramatic Intel ligence and feeling. But Law ranee Whlsonant to a new name (at least to me) and he has a magnificent high baritone.

He is also a true musician and hu a bearing and figure that would mak him a first rate Amonasro in "Keleey Pharr.

This attitude towara music is very discoursging to a race teacher who knows how far be hind we are musically. It is al so ridiculous to note how rapidly Negro singers and instrumentalists go abroad for a few months and mostly without the correct preparation, acquire an af fected forein accent There is no reason whatsoever for any Amer ican Negro or white man, for that matter, who lives in Europe for ten or more years, to return to America speaking like a foreigner who hopes to speak correct Eng lish some day. Such people make themselves a nuisance and a laughing stock before the eyes of those who know better.

One of the greatest accomplishments for any American to to be able to speak his own language well even if he spends part of his life on the planet Mars. I know Negro singers who come back to Amer lea "putting on airs" and forever gloating over others who are much better teaisatd nd who wisely thought that it was not necessary for them to go to Europe. The tise is gone when people have to go abroad to be recognized, for the best maestro In the world are in America at our back tors. As I writo I am reminded of one singer particular who positively refuses to ride on the subway trains since she has been back. She cannot afford a car; therefore, she would rather ride on a bus.

I am sorry to say that this person to not recognized, by people who know her. as a sing er of the first magnitude. People who have accomplished much in an artistic way are usually simple in manner and never "show out" Simplicity to one of the attributes of a great artist We can well get along without musical four flushers who impair and hinder rather than help inspire the young musicians.

He sang the part of "Christ" in Coleridge Tay lor's "Atonement" on two occasions and travelled three seasons with the Eva Jessye choir through Eastern and mid western United States and into Canada. After singing the role of Jac ques Dessalines in "Ounga," he, under the advice of the well known Georgette Harvey, was auditioned for "The Glamour Girl of Troy," starring Anne Wiggins Brown, Ham tree Harrington and Kelsey Pharr, and was accepted for the role of "Agamemmon."

Then his frantic efforts to prove he isn't crszy make him appear all the crazier: Amid divers, bughouse complications he, finally extricates himself from his web of deceit after getting caught in an elevator, chewing up a phonograph record, and even Impersonating a woman.

NICHOLS The mainstay of the nifcht life world Is the night club For the most part these are tinsel palaces that glitter and hold forth with much seeming gayety.

From the quaint glass stirrers to the quaint inhabitants, these Institutions belie their real purpose that of making money. Some old timers impressed me very much with one statement: "In the night club racket they said, the ends and the means are never coif used as in the case of other businesses." Here's a situa tion where the salesmanship is so all inclusive and so much remain! at stake that only a hawk a nigth' hawk, a hardboiled one at that; can reap a profit and stay in' business for any length of time. Night club operators had their neyaay aunng uie ousuwg iwen ties" and "thirties." This was the period that witnessed prohibition! with Its speakeasies and bath tub gin. Money flowed freely and was made all up and down the line How it was made is another matter. Earnings came under the' heading of various fees.

How else i bootleggers owned speakeasiei and supplied these with their own liquor. This was an illegal but highly profitable and effective example of the vertical combination. On looking back on all this you wonder how it all came to pass. There are two ways that a night club may take in money: by means of a cover charge and by! selling various services. A nieht! club is allowed to charge you its' own fixed price for service ren dered.

This is legal. The govern ment does not control retail prices, except in cases of emergency. To start a night club you get in it wuca wiu ucense commissioner i Mom. Right away you're fingerprinted and mugged (photo tak en). You'll have to take out cabaret and liquor licenses.

Bear In mind that we have only cited the licenses that must begot, ten, which also call for periodic renewals. It 'is no wonder that some' clubs blackball roustabouts and other ne'er do wells. They simply aim to Insure a good night's receipts Many cliques are formed in this business Because of the higher rents that are expected of night clubs and the seasonal rise and fall of business, a dependable ell entele must be assured.

Whatever is made during a good season which in some instances lasts for several weeks or months, may have to be depended upon to tide one over a slack period which msy last several times as long. The night club visitor looks for ward to the floor show as the climax of the night's entertainment To the manager, this comes as an anti climax. He depends on eagle eyed, sure footed waiters with a gift of gab to bring in large or ders between those periods of loud entertainment All that he seeks in a floor show is brevity, bounce and balance. A successful operator strives for individuality in his club From the tableware to the way the band stand is set up, nothing is overlooked. This calls for a versatile person who msy be called upon at times to play the role of interior decorator and stage hand, ac countant and efficiency expert, chorus director and dancer, and who, moreover expected to be the social glad hander on all oc casions.

Night club operation is a singular vocation. The main commodi ties are glamour and gayety. Fash, ion and style changes are first seen in the niterles. Ther are tha show places of the nation the social marts. It is the night club operator's business to supply the fanfare and to reap any and all possible profits I jli Just reached the Goodman accolade? Well.
