In these modern days of pub
LEFTY and high pressure a modest
public figure is rarity indeed, but
we found one the other day, one
whom we've had under observation
for some time but are just getting
around to write about.
jeanette Carolyn Dorsey, who
halls from Cuthbert, Georgia, and
who has for the past three years
been quietly building up a fine
music department at Phyllis
Wheatley Settlement House, is one
of the most retiring musicians we
have ever Interviewed. She'll tell
you plenty about how she likes to
work with the boys, girls and
grown-ups who enter her music
classes but she closes up just like
a clam when you suggest that the
public is beginning to realize that
she mas done a grand job.
During her directorship of the
music department at Wheatley
House many improvements have
been made under her guidance. A
15-piece popular dance band, "The
Down Beats" has been developed;
a string ensemble constantly in
demand and a 24-voice chorus
which is one of the best groups of
its type in the Twin Cities, Dur
ing the appearance here of the
link Spots" recording artists, a
quartet, the "Four Notes." trained
and coached by her, won the Twin
City wide contest which the "Spots'
judged. Since that time the "Notes"
have played several engagements
in entertainment places in Mime
apolis and st. Paul.
An accomplished pianist she has

Stepin Fetchit
At Princess
Theatre Mar. 5-6-7

Stepin Fetchit, the laugh pro-
voker and lazy comedian of the
screen, will again make a personal
appearance in Minneapolis at the

N. E. (4th Street near Hennepin) i,

Bill to Halt
Race Bias on
Jobs Gets @. k.

The subcommittee of the House
of Representatives Committee on
Labor, this week, made a favorable
report on a bill proposed by Rep.
John M. Drexler to end racial dis
elimination in the employment of
labor by persons doing contract
work for the state.
Action by the committee as a
whole is expected within the next
week. Another measure designed
to eliminate discrimination in the
sale of liability insurance to Ne
groes is still in committee, but ac-
ton on it is expected during the
coming week also.
Measures similar to these were
introduced at the last session of
the legislature, but did not pass.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-02-28

made herself popular by always
being willing to help the various
local singers as an accompanist.
Neutral music observers have said
her music department is the out
standing one in this section in COM
munity house circles, and the best
ever at Phyllis Wheatley House.
Miss Dorsey received her high
school training in her native state
of Georgia. From Georgia State
College at Savannah in 1885 she
earned her ABB. She taught in
Georgia for two years and then dea
cided to come to Minnesota to
study at our great state university.
In Minnesota since 1887 she says
she likes the state "better every
day."
Questioned about her hobbies she
admitted that her work is her chief
hobby, however, she collects phono-
graph records ranging from the
finest classic music recordings to
spirituals and popular music also.
In December she graduated from
the University of Minnesota where
she majored in music education.
Tuesday when we talked to her she
was happy because she had just
received her treasured sheep skin,
official notice Of her BIS, degree
in music,
It's nice to have people doing
things in the Twin Cities who are
modest about them. It's nice be-
cause it's so different, Miss Dor
sey possibly never heard that one
shouldn't hide ones light under a
bushel basket.-C. E. N,
