Fats Gives Cues On Stage AS

Harmful Little
ArmfuI Fronts
White Musicians
By DOLORES CALVIN

NEW YORK = Regardless OF the
fact that the band playing belonged
to Muggsy Spanier, white musician,
Thomas Fats" Waller played the
piano and organ giving the boys
their cues to come in as if every
thing was okey dokey and it was
his own band. Waller gave up his
boys TO go to Hollywood just after
Canadian tour, and is supposed
to be planning now revue here in
New York.
But. back to those notes flying
here and there an the Apollo Thea
tire stage, we find that MuggSy is
sick III the hospital and left the
band to be confronted by Buck
Scott, his trombone player. At
least that's what M c. Buddy Bow
ser stated. Buddy, all dolled up in
beaut of tux, practically ran the
book of humorous la jokes in the
ground, physical and all.
Another feature, the Harlem
Highlanders, were on the disap-
pointing side. First of all, Negroes
just don't wear Scottish costumes.
bagpipes, short skirts, white boots
and caps. But their songs and voices
sort put their appeal in the shade
When Claudia Newell began to sing,
this reporter could hardly believe
the voice went with the girl. It's
practically a bass register and as
she crooned Begin the Beguine,"
it was terribly annoying to have
your ears aching for the noise.
Sinclair and Leroy reminded us
of Patterson and Jackson, when
one of them tried to initiate the Ink
Spots. He didn't do it SO well, but
his partner could really ilnpersonate
Louis Armstrong on the trumpet,
while Sinclair yelled Don't pour
any water on me, just let me burnt"
Fats" Waller played his beauti-
full little Jitterbug Waltz on the
organ and the audience sat back

er, Lester Young, who formerly
footed for Count Basic. He also has
a find" in his new male singer,
Kenneth Preston, who won the
Harlem Amateur Contest at the
Apollo and was chosen by Sears
then. Of course, Kenneth needs a
great deal more experience and
could even stand watching the way
famous singers put their songs over,
but pretty soon, he'll be right up
there for he has the voice.
The rest Of the boys all seem to
be ''old hands" In the field, each
one supporting AIS sax notes like

LOS ANGELES, Cal. - (ANP)-
Hattie Mcdaniel, the movie star,
is listed as one of the Is sponsors
of a new book, 1T Was Not My
World" written and published here
by Deaderick F. jenkins. The
book attacks false democracy" and

and depicts the white mans world
as crunbling and passing, and
that of the Negro as yet to come,
its sponsors say.
Jenkins, 80, graduated from Rust

came to Los Angeles II years ago
seeking chance as a Negro which

age musical composition in the
Negro vein, the New York Philhar-

FORM IRREGULAR

1.-THE Symphony in G Minor has
been performed several times. Mr.
Stokowski introduced it in New
York and Philadelphia several years
ago, and DR.. Hanson has played it
since then in Rochester, N. Y. and
over the radio, and / have conduct
ed excerpts from it on several &C.
casions. / also conducted the entire
Symphony in San Diego a few years
ago.
1.-THE form of La GuiablesSe' took
shape according to the stage re-
quirements of the scenario: the
form of the 'Afro-American SYM
phony' is decidedly irregular, be-
ing unified through the use of a
single original theme in the Blues
idiom. In the Perisphere at the New
York Worlds Fair they played my
Theme Music continuously from be-
ginning to end of the Fair during
1889 and 1910. This consisted of a
tone poem called Song Of a City,
which ended with a choral episode
Rising Tide. This has recently
been re-tIJled Victory Tide and
has been played on many radio
programs by army bands and by
the March Of Time chorus and or
chestras as new War song. At a
special ASCAP concert at the
Worlds Fair, I conducted some
dances from 'La Guiablesse" and
two movements of the Symphony

MARTINIQUE BACKGROUND

81 can't say exactly what inspir-
ed me to write both of those works.
As always, was in the mood to
create music and it just happened
that it took that form"
Then MFR. Still talked about the
character of his music: La Guia-
blesse" is a ballet based en- leg
end of the island of Martinique. Tt
was first suggested to me as SUBJ
ject by Adolph Bolm, but it was
Ruth Page who actually wrote the
scenario around which I built the
music.
''The Afro American symphony
was, like the @ minor Symphony
first written as abstract music.
That is, there was no story behind
it. However, I later added a pro-
gram, that is, described it as be-
ing musical picture Of the Ameri-
can Negro of the days around the
Civil War. The Symphony in @
Minor Is a sort of extension of that
idea, since the theme of the first
movement of the Symphony in G
Minor is allied to the theme of the
last movement Of the Afro-Ameri-
can Symphony.
