''Strut Miss Lizzie''

The word Spiritual" as used in the
program Of "strut Miss Lizzie" is a
comparatively new one in the musical
world. Only few years ago it was
almost unknown to the general public.
Oscar Seagle, concert singer, was
perhaps the first to give popularity
to the term for his singing of deep
River" and other negro spirituals
which delighted thousands of concert
goers and many more thousands of
photograph record buyers. Before long
an enterprising publisher had several
spirituals set up in printed form and
sold Is sheet music. Now the spiritual
has reached Broadway, for the entire
cast Of STRUT Miss Lizzie" sings spir-
ituals at every performance.
AS musical form of composition
the spiritual resembles the folk song.
It is quite independent in its growth
Of all formal and technical purposes
and is the work Of group Of persons
rather than single composer. The
folk songs, for instance, were the emo
tional outbursts Of entire communities.
When, during the Middle Ages. a man
performed heroic deed, his towns
people celebrated his exploits with an
appropriate folk song. One chief
singer would recount the history of his
heroism. while the others would Join
in with appropriate choruses also i'm
provised.
Though bulk composition Of this sort
was apparently unorganized the re-
suits were always surprisingly unified
AS result many of these folk songs
live to-day as superb specimens of
group spirit that was at once sponta-
neous and inspired. "Sir Patrick
spens," for instance, is an example Of
such folk song, for it recounts with
dramatic effectiveness the thrilling ex.
ploits Of famous sea captain.
For long time the United States
had no folk songs of it's own. The
civilization Of the Old World had been
brought here in it's entirety, and the
folk song hardly originates in a highly
organized community. This form of
song story comes from a naive, unas.
suming singing group, not from fora
mslly educated people who are too re-
served to let their imaginings be heard
by others. For long time, therefore,
the only folk songs Americans knew
were those Of England, Ireland and
Scotland and an occasional one from
the Continent.
With the growth Of a negro popu-
lation, however, there came,a new and
unsophisticated race influence. The
negroes were chi,dlike in their SIM
piicity, highly emotional and fond Of
melody. When they were happy they
sang, when they were sad they sang
and when they got religion they SANG.
Singing, as matter Of fact, was their
only form of artistic expression. They
were too ignorant to write, to paint
or to seulp.
6ut their songs were beautiful snd
came to be known as spirituals. Some
OF them were composed by whole groups
and included verses and choruses. while
others were single compositions like

high rates "souud productive" but
that the fact remains that they are
becoming increasingly ineffective and
are yielding less and less revenue
each year.
Then bluntly he tells Congress the
time has come TO "face the facts
squarely" and to correct the artificial
conditions which now prevail and
which, he asserts, are not wholesome
from the point of view of business or
industrial development. and, at the
same time, are impairing the revenues

The moro important of the methods
used by taxpayers to redbee the

crty and securities so rs to avoid tax

securities, and division of property,
creation of trusts and the like.

continued, ''and most of them lead to
