AMERICANISM!

II was proud to be an American"
said Parker Warkins, newly discovered
WPA Tenor, "in the midst of the
grand American enthusiasm and sports
manship." S. Hurok, Marian Ander-
sons manage. had just offered Watkins
a 100000 contract after he had drawn,
by accident of circumstances, daily
crowds of several thousand by his
singing at Penn Station with RKO
organist Banks Kennedy during the
Christmas holidays. Watkins break
gives us one more heave upward.
True, the incident was typical Amer
ican, which is often lavish with its re-
ward for talent and merit, especially
under dramatic circumstances. But
with the Negro, much depends upon a
happy combination of mood, place and
circumstance-added to the fact that
we must be always twice as good"
Negroes are keenly aware that
Americanism has different definitions
in different parts of America.

nation to aid the great work of carry

where his two missions were supposed
to have been located.
He evidently came in contact with
hard headed philanthrophist on his
latest tour, for someone made inquiry
through the Better Business Bureau,
and they in turn investigated.
One inquiry was made through the
Negro Ministers Alliance, and the

What we can't find out is how they
got rid of him without any fus or fan

whether or not the men of peace took
that frock coat as spoils of war, or
