BOUNCING ALL AROUND
Taken as a whole, the platters
received these days are better than
those obtained before the recent
government order cutting produc-
ton to 80 percent of the 1941
total. Of course, it could be that
this reviewer is exercising more
care in selecting records, but it's
also a fact that the companies
can't afford to waste shellac on
as much trash as formerly.
Among the good new discs is
a Bluebird pairing by Erskine
Hawkins of JUMPIN' IN A JU-
LEP JOINT and BICYCLE
BOUNCE, both guilty and in the
groove. Ida James sings cutely on
the first but the second is the
better side. ;. One of the best
hot tunes ever waxed by Jimmy
Dorsey is SORGHUM SWITCH,
Decca, an even more torrid YER
sion of Doc Wheeler's recent opus.
Dig that weird and sending guitar
start and the leaders alto sax.
Arrangement is topnoteh and the
bays swing solidly. Other face is
MY DEVOTION, paShy sweetness
with Bob Eberle out TO make femi-
nine hearts flutter.
Quite a bit of commotion was
created over Les Hites Hit record
ing of JERSEY BOUNCE. It's
good, but Goodman remains tops
However, Hite does have piano
and guitar percolating with a
freakish and somewhat exciting
trumpet heard Flipover is
REMEMBER YOU, a pop tune
dressed up with good piano be-
hind the vocal. -.
Strictly for the jitbugs is ST
LOUIS BLUES as played by John
Kirby on Victor. Shavers' muted
trumpet, Kyle's chording piano
stand out and Bailey holds a LONG
note as the boys riff out a couple
of choruses behind him :. /. Other
side is NO BLUES AT ALL, fast
ride tune with everybody getting
off On the Elite label are some

And Eddie South can tell you
a lot of interesting things. You
would know he had been abroad.
But just watching him and listen
ing to his conversation, you
wouldn't believe that he was one
of the races greatest swing violin
lists.
Mr.. South had just come back
from a plane trip to Chicago to
appear at the Negro Festival July
IL. He is currently on an extended
contract at Cafe Society Uptown
and has been for the past two
years.
81 YEARS OLD
Even though born in Louisiana,
Missouri, Eddie probably knows
every nook and crook in Chicago
because he lived there since he
was very young. Incidentally, he
didn't mind telling his age as 81
and proudly talked Of his l6-year-
old son.
THE Dark Angel of the Violin"
first started in 1923 at the Green
land in the Windy City with
Charlie Elgor In 1929 he toured
eleven countries in five months,
studying particularly in Paris
and Budapest. While abroad he
performed at the famous EXPOSE
ton.
Later, after returning to Ameri-
ca, he played the French Casino
and was the only Negro ever to
play Ben Marden'S Riviera, across
the river in New Jersey. Marden,
who recently celebrated his forty
first birthday, made much of his
success through the Negro and is
known as the Fox on Broadway.
QUIET HOME LIFE
Eddie has a quiet home life, and
his charming wife, Catherine
South, intends to keep it that
way. They have been married
nineteen years and whenever he
travels, she goes along. Although
he has not had vacation in
three years, they do have Sundays
together. The fiddler loves base
ball, horses, golf and swimming.
IA his favorite songstress, Eddie
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1942-08-01

chose Ella Fitzgerald, our First
Lady of Swing, and Billy Eckstein
of Earl Hines band for the male
vocals. But his number one Or
chestra belongs to Duke Filing
ton. Classics is another question,
but Eddie said tops meant Marian
Anderson and Paul Robson and
he was very hurt over Roland
Hayes recent misfortune in
Georgia.
Eddie writes original compost
tons too, the most famous prob
ably being BLACK Gypsy, which
along with others is published by
Robbins Music Publishers. On file
at Columbia, is one Of his record
ed albums. More recently, however,
Eddie has been studying with Ro-
land Murat of the Julliard Insti-
tute of Musical Art. He doesn't
play anything but the violin and
doesn't have to. He's been fiddllng
since 1928
Eddie is very worried about the
war too. Although he's a ga man.
he thinks he can be called any
minute to serve his country And
he's willing to go.
So if anyone should ever re-
mark that Missourians don't
amount to much, Eddie South can
proudly say. TIN from Missouri"

a "Bess" that really knows her
way around. She smiles gayly,
steps sprigthly and switches with
certainty.
Of course, if there were ever
any rough edges on the perfor-
nance turned in by Mr.. Duncan,
they've disappeared by now. Tho
roughly conditioned to the stage
floor and environs, he huns the
gamut of emotions as though he
enjoyed the extra assurance, that
comes from standing on ones
foot while delivering.
Yes, "Porgy and Bess' is on
Broadway ''mornin' time and
ev'nin' time, and summertime" and
to all intents and purposes will
probably be there this wintertime.

touch in her voice, only to break

suitable testimony to the personal

RESPONSIBILITY,
OPPORTUNITY

In introducing the honored
guests, Walter H. Wanger, presi-
dent of the Academy of motion
picture arts and sciences, said,
This IS one of the greatest NOM
ents this industry has ever had for
doing the job we have all dreamed
of doing for our country and the
world We have q great response
bility and opportunity in using the
most valuable means for commune
cation the world has ever known
for spreading the American way
of life"
In introducing Walter White,
Wanger said, 1.-THE new day is here.
One of the great representatives of
the new day is Walter White, one
of the first citizens Of this coun-
try"
In his speech the leader of the
NAACP told those assembled Of
''the part you can play, the part
you have played in forming the
attitude of the people of this coun-
try and throughout the world by
using this great medium which
reaches the eyes and minds as no
other medium in the history of the
world has done.
WHITE SPEAKS
"You car make a magnificent
| contribution, which you have al
ready started to make, by correct
inc the misinfor!nation which is
the basis of the entire problem of
! the Negro race BY avoiding the
perpetuation of the stereotypes and
broadening the treatment, you can
lessen the load of misunderstanding
from which the Negro is suffering.
''I want you to know the tremen-
dous eagerness of the Negro SOL
der to win this war for the preSer-
walton of the democratic way of
life. 1t is my earnest hope that
with your great skill and with this
great medium yours will be one
of the greatest contributions made
to raise the morale of the Negroes
of this country and throughout the
world"
Wendell L. Willkie paid high tri-
| kute to White as zone of the most
effective American citizens of this
dag who, at great personal sacri-
flee, has devoted his life for years
| to the advancement of his race.
URGES PRACTICE OF
DEMOCRACY
He urgeo the complete practice
of true democracy in this nation
which now is fighting to preserve
democracy, and stressed the nee
essity of unity Of all our peoples
to assure the victory which must
be won. He told stirringly of the
mobile contribution this industry
can make to democracy"
Both speakers were given an
ovation.
In closing the meeting Colonel
Zanuck voiced his confident belief
that the motion picture industry
will do its part to further DEM
ocracy and to improve the morale
of all peoples of this nation and
our allied nations.
