NEW YORK, Apr. CAMP For
the 48th consecutive year, Harry
Thacker Burleigh, noted compos-
er and arranger Of hundreds Of

Faure last Sunday at st. Georges
Protestant Episcopal Church in
Stuyvesant square here.
The rs year old grandson of al
Maryland slave left his seat in the
choir loft toward the end Of the
morning services and sang tine
anthem in a way that brought
tears to the eyes Of the congrega-
ton.
Many were the congratulations
given him for his rendition at the
close of services. q. Lewis Elmer.
registrar OF American Guild of
Organlsts, remarked, Ellis rich and
resonant voice showed that he was
putting his whole soul in the mu-
sic. He has not failed in the least
because Of his age. I would even
say that have never heard him
sing better"
The choir-master and organiSt
of the church for 10 years, George
w. Kemmer, declared THAT man
is remarkable. Every year think
he does a better job than before"
The aged composer, who helped
Antonin Dvorak write s'Goin'

want to retire but the church
won't let me. You see, I think
man ought to quit while he can
still sing instead of waiting until
people tell him he is too old Or his
voice is no good. need more time
to compose, but the church won't
listen to me when I tell them I am
going to quit +"
Mr.. Burleigh first sang s'The
Palms" in 1894, after having been
selected from so applicants to be-
come soloist of the church. Com
ing from Erie, Pa, he does not re-
member when he began singing.
put recalls that he sang as he help
ed his mother dust desks in an
Erie school. AS a young man. he
won a scholarship at National
conservatory of Music where he
met Dvorak, the Czech composer

ton by recognizing Negro talent, by
having this talent represent the cor

making possible larger opportunities

OF America was sent to New York
with the Sons of the South. The
Nehi corporation got in touch with
its white advertising firm of Bat
ton, Durstin and Osborne of New
York City, informed this firm that
Mr.. S. J. Phillips and the Sons of
the South would be in New York
and asked them to use their influ-
ence TO have opportunities opened to
this singing group.
The white national ADVERTISING
firm responded graciously to Nehi
request, using their influence for
the Sons of the South" to come be-
fore the major recording campaign
having them appear on radio pro-
grams, etc. During this time the
"Sons of the South" remained on
the payroll Of the Nehi corpora

Negro musical talent has been
given another boost by the Nehi
corporation, makers of Royal Crown
Cola. For the past three years the
Nehi corporation through an adj
vertising contract with the Booker
T. Washington Sales Agency, has
made contribution to the popu-
lation of Negro music by making it
possible for the Sons of the South
to appear on many of the leading
radio stations of the country and
from the concert stage to sing for
audiences all over America.
In February of this year, war con-
ditions by making drastic cuts on
sugar, made it necessary for all
beverage companies to curtail their
activities. When the Nehi corpora
ton realized that it would have to
cut its advertising program, it i'm
mediately took steps to open other
advantages for the Sons of the
South. Mr.. S. j. Phillips, special ma
