Famous Dance Group

Tropics and lie Jazz Hot"

fail to stop the show cold In the
dance production that Katherine
Durham and her group are bring
ing to the Moore Theatre for three
performances. two evenings and
a matinee on June s and 6 under
the direction of Cecilia Schultz.
There are primitive dances from
the West Indies and one from the
Yoruba tribe in Trinidad that Dun

stay there but lie Jazz Hot" Is
uproarious low down barrel house
from New Orleans and Florida
and shows to excellent advantage
some unrestrained shimmying, jit-
terbugging and "boogie-woogie."
Yet, Miss Dunham's technique ele-
Yates the subject to the classifi-
cation Of rough folk dancing.
In fact, Miss Dunham's whole
show Is purely racial in character
and offers no imitation of white
folks, but reveals the Negro dance
as an independent medium. SO
authentic are her dances that crit
les have labeled her The Marian
Anderson of the Dance" A gradu-
ate Of the University Of Chicago,
she went direct to voodoo head
quarters in the Haitian jungles for
many Of her dances. She spent
two years in the West Indies and
South America on a Rosenwald
scholarship.
Durham has woven her primi-
tive rhythms and jazz idioms into
a fast moving concoction of vaude-
vile skits, character sketches, etc.
that has had all the critics of
New York, Hollywood, Los Angel
es an San Francisco hunting for
new adjectives. For one solid year
her show ran successfully on
Broadway featured In the musical
comedy Cabin in the Sky" The
whole show Is a riot of color and
motion that rocks an audience
into frenzied applause. Tickets are
on sale now at the Moore Theatre
box-office. Prices are SIC. $1.15,
$1.73 and $3.50.

We Fight Slavery



Shorn of all high-sounding
phrases, the war in which we are
now engaged is a war against
slavery.
In their propaganda the totali-
tartan nations stress every act of
discrimination on the part OF the
Unied Nations. They infer that
their own motives are to bring
freedom to the oppressed. yet-at
the same time, and out of the
corners of their mouths, they prod
their own people to back-brealxing
tasks with their plans to enslave
the rest of the world for the bene-
fit of he German 'overlords" or
"Herrenvolk."
Japan, so sympathetic in Its
propaganda with the hardships of
the Negro, says to the Japanese
that all the world is Asia, and
it all belongs or should belong, to
Japan. Germany, in the midst of
strife, trains its youth for polit-
ical leadership, teaching them that
Germany Is the rightful ruler of
the world, that they are the cho-
sen people, the amounted of God,
that all other races are inferior.
We fight slavery today. If we
lose We will all be slaves, Negro
and white alike. It will be a slay-
cry which will not only enslave
the body. but which will stultify
the soul. There will be no "spir-
ituals" to raise US from the mis-
cry Of our bondage. All religions,
save the blasphemy Of National
Socialism, will be not merely bar
red, but banned from our lives.
Even in slavery though, the whites
will have the greater advantage.
To them will be vouchsafed the
mercy Of a fairly speedy death.
The Negroes, however. according
to Hitleris plans, are to be care
fully guarded and preserved. They
are to be the bearers of burdens,
the hewers of wood and the draw
ers of water to the neo-Aryans
Of eternity.
We fight slavery. Let us not
to turn back the clock to the
Dark Ages, for the Nazi plan Of
Germanic domination depends for
its existence upon a world Of
slaves, too terrified to revolt
against their brutal masters.
We figh slavery. Let us not
be led astray by enemy propa-
ganda designed to disrupt and d.
vide. We must not follow the
false gods Of ephemeral freedom.
We must remember the records
Of those who seek to flatter us
now. We must remember the
rape of Marking. We must rem
ember the fate of Ethiopia. We
must remember the massacres in
the days of German East Africa.
We fight slavery-and as we
fight let us so work and pray that
Victory when it comes will be COM
plete and that all forms of man.
imposed slavery will be banished
from the earth forever. This is
the goal to be sought. This is the
goal toward which this country
has made faster progress than any
where else on earth. This is the
goal which Is will attain with the
help Of all of ls.
