Lecture Speaker
On Friday Might
PIym outh Church
Scene Of Meet
BY GLADYS MILLS

Very, very unique is what we
would say Of the presentation of
Zelma Watson Duke by the Lecture
Series Committee of Plymouth
Congregational church last Friday
night.
Mrs. Duke is a very charming
personality. has the sweetest count
enance. and delivers a most charm
ing and interesting lecture recital.
Mrs. Duke. who is Californian. is
at present studying toward doc
Sorate at Columbia this year In her
recital she pointed out wildly in
song and story. that Negro folk
music has contributed 10 the great
classics and 10 opera in a substan-
tial way. She discussed. with au-
thority. the ways in which inter-
cultural music can contribute to
world peace. She illustrated her
various themes by singing numbers
which bore out her pointed para
graphs, in her strong and rich
soprano voice.
Mrs. Duke told us that she is also
the wife and daughter OF minister.
which may or may not account for
her pleasing way OF meeting and
greeting her public, She commands
the attention from the time she
enters until her final sweet note
dies away on the ear
For her recital al Plymouth. she
was stately in black. with JET pail
cites sparkling about it. She wore
one red poppy al her breast. her
hair in an upsweep.
We might give here an orchid
which is due. Mr.. Robert Nolan.
for his superb accompaniment
Mrs. Dukes program included
four groups, the frs. spirituals and
pioneer Negro composers. Among
these she listed w. c. Handy. Hall
Johnson, Harry T Burleigh. VIII
Marion Cook. J. Rosamond john
son and S. Coleridge Taylor. The
second group included songs sbo1t
Negroes by white composers, and
among them she included David
Guion. Robert McGimsey and
George Gerskwin. The third group
was musical settings for poems by
Langston Hughes. Composers in
cluded Margaret Bonds. whom we
ell know from Chicago. William
Gran, Still. Hall Johnson and Flor
ence B. Price. The latter Is also
known by us for her composition
OF a complete symphony recently
played by the Chicago Symphony
orchestra. The fourth and final
group included music with social
significance and compositions by
Lewis Allan. Sibyl Croly Schneider
Jean Sior and Harry T. Burleigh.
Mrs. Duke is a soror OF Alpha
Kappa Alpha sorority and her De-
troit sorors were there en- masse

tive group OF Detroit music lovers
We hope Mrs Duke Will come again
soon and enjoy an even larger
aud ence.

much of the bean itself still re-

It's bean plus sprout which is
cooked and eaten. Quick cooking,
that's the thing. Ten to 20 min
utes, just long enough to remove
the raw taste. Sprouts are chevy
in texture, crisp and waxy like
the peanut. Good sauteed, tasty
when steamed and served with a
sour sauce. Combine them with
various vegetables in casseroles
and stews. The crispy texture
makes the sprout welcome and

Crits may be used TO fortify

grits gives you as much protein
