ClefClub
Music
Notes
(By BILLY ROACH)

With the close of the National
Convention of Negro Musicians
Inc, the Clef Club concentrates on
their Premier Fall Concert Oct.
25th on which date w. c. Handy,
composer-publisher will conduct n
chorus of 100 voices selected from
the several church choirs by Sam
Ratliffe, and the Clef Club Con-
cert Orchestra, now rehearsing un-
der the direction Of John Lain. Mr..
Handy will play solo of his i'm
mortal "St. Louis Blues" in its
original form, Flutes Morton ad-
ding variety and color by render
ing two flute solos.
With The Orchestras-
Tod Rhodes and Buddy Lee may
join Don Redman when he arrives
here enroute to Flint. Opportuni-
ties come from time to time, when
given the ability, arm yourselves
with a union card so that you may
be able to take advantage of these
openings.
Larry Douglas in some serious
rehearsals preparing for his first
concert Sept. 9Th, at Bethel A. M.
Il. Church. 1t is happy to note that
we have been able to inspire the
youngsters into doing something
worthwhile by setting an example
with the promotion of three con-
certs. Encourage them with your
presence.
What is your sentiment toward
a mixed Orchestra, (Black and
white)? Personally / am in favor
900. Much has been argued pro
and con, and to get first hand info,
l have written Fletcher Henderson
asking him to send us his view
points on mixed Orchestras. 1t has
been unofficially reported that
Ethel Waters has such a band in
New York, and it is going over
big.
Buckles and his Rhythm kings
are still holding forth at the b e. C.
Newboy augmenting the aggrega-
ton to five.
1t has been confidentially re-
ported to me that a certain band
leader now working on Wood
ward avenue, (who has been hold
ing said job for quite some time)
has made some successful at
attempts at wrestling the job from
Chuck Stevens at the Subway Grill.
When are we going to stop cheap
ening ourselves? That this parti-
cular bandsman should stoop to
such low degrading trick is hard
to believe. 1t is regrettable that the
morals in the rank and file of the
musicians are not higher. We cam
not rise very high when we are
morally impoverished.
Louis Armstrong
Louis Russell and his Orchestra
making their debut at Graystone
Gardens, played to more than a
capacity house. The orchestra de-
parting from the customary one
man feature, played strictly "en-
semble," and with much precision.

know when to make a wager?

a grand card, although the wealth

At Detroit, Shoeless Joe ran
back to his good New York race
and won easily. Lunsford became a
two time winner. Everything
points to a banner meeting and the
State Fair in September should
bring out tremendous crowds. APP

 Capara makes but one picture a year and during the past three years his every effort has turned out to be a box office sensation. ''Mr. Deeds Goes To Town" tops them all to date, if audience reaction at the State during the past two days may be adjudged criterion. It's 8 gay romantic comedy and offers new Gary Cooper with winsome Jean Ar thur fresh from her triumph with Herbert Marshall in "If You Could Only Cook"
 The companion feature presents Lew Ayrea and Florence Rice in Panic On The Air." a mystery mel- odrama, with the broadcasting stu dios of big radio station for it's background. It's interesting screen fare and most entertaining.
 Wednesday brings another gala show to the State to include "Too Many Parents, Paramount's trea- tise of the divorce problem and what happens to the kiddies after their parents love has waned.
 A cast of new faces, for whom a great future in pictures must be promised. is to be found in this pie ture. Included is Frances Farmer, Lester Mathews, the old reliable Henry Travers and @ darling little boy actor, Billy Lee, who caused a sensation when this picture had its Hollywood premier.
 The companion feature will be Laughing Irish Eyes" starring Phil Began, screendom's new singing star with Evelyn Knapp and Walter O. Kelly.
 Romance blooms by the hedges on the road to County Cork,s fair in this love story, set to music amid the folks on the Emerald Isle.
 It's a great show. folks, 50 plan now to see it.

Editor, Tall Tower Topics: Some time ago noticed that your column commented about the possibilities of the triangular plot of land at Cooke street and Moran streets being made into parket think the street Park Department did do work here, for it looked fairly nice for time All that was needed to complete the picture removal of of the thou sand and bouders that litter the spot However, if the city doesn't do something pretty it'll be back to it's former wild state. Driving by the other day saw where somebody had emptied along the Cooke street side of the land load of ashes When person starts doing this it's usually the signal for dozen more to follow example That's what will happen here as I've seen the thing in my neigh borhood know the people of Overlook would make every effort to keep the parklet looking nice if they shown good example It sort of seems if the city would have to give the example, don't you think SO?

There 1900 cars to go under the painters brush starting today That recalls the time Waterbury tried the same stunt when city cars detected touring the White Mountains :. A lot of city streets, particularly in the outskirts could stand a few new signs. There are many streets without any markers; others can't be read or are twisted to point the wrong direction new type of sign might aid the situation.

TRAILING ARBUTUS

I wandered lonely where the pine trees made Against the bitter east their barricade And, guided by its sweet Perfume, I found within dell The trailing spring flower tinted like a shell Amid dry leaves and moses at my feet. From under dead boughs, for whose loss the pines Moaned ceaseless overhead, the blossoming vines Lifted their glad surprise, While yet the buebird smoothcd in leaflcss trees His feathers ruffled by the chill breeze And snow drifts fingered under April skies. As passing OCT the lonely flower bent, I thought of lives thus lowy, clogged and pent Which yet find room Through and cumber c0dness and decay, To lend q sweetness to the ungeniai day, And make the sad earth happier for their bloom.
