Lionel Hampton played night
at the Savoy ballroom recently, he
was told of an unusual compliment
paid him by ''Razz" Mitchell,

Mitchell had become the proud

saw Hampton, and was happy to
tell "Hamp" that he had named
the infant after his favorite drum

Payk Based On
Conn. Black Act

HARTFORD, Conn. - CAMP -
One of the most interesting devel-
opments of Negro History Week
here was the production of a play
based on the life of Prudence
Crandall. The play was written in
1941 by Helen Smith, white author
and actress. It was presented at
st. Joseph College auditorium by
the Queens Company of st. Jo.-
seph College.
The play called Has the Harvest
Gomez" follows closely the true
story Of Prudence Crandall, who, in
1881, opened a private school for
girls in Canterbury, Conn. The
school prospered until the begin
ming of it's second year when a.
Negro girl. Sarah Harris, applied
for admission.
She was accepted as a pupil for
she had attended public school with
white girls and had shown scholas-
&c ability. The white students
LIT the school and Miss Crandall
despite repeated violent protests
from the toWnspeople advertised
for and opened her school to about
20 colored pupils in April, 1893.
The people of the town tried
every trick they could think of to
get young ladies and little misses
o. color out of Canterbury. FL
nally the state legislature passed a
law, through the efforts of the
townspeople, which made it illegal
to open a school for colored chill
dren from out-of-state without the
approval of the town. This law
was known as "The Black Act of
1882
Prudence Crsndall was imprison-
ed and though she was finally re-
leased, she was forced to close her
school. In 1886 the state of Con-
necticut granted her pension of

MIR. Still also revealed that the
same day he quit the film, he re-
ceived word from his publishers in
New York that the Office of War
Information had microfilmed the
score and parts of his Afro
can Symphony to be sent to Russia
and other parts of Europe for per-
formances for official government
propaganda purposes. Rudolph
Dunbar, noted musician and Lon
don correspondent for the Associat-
ed Negro Press has conducted the
work in England for the past six
months.
His resignation as Stormy
Weather music supervisor was the
result of the attitude toward Negro
music and dancing held by Al New
man, the music director Mr.. Still
said that Mr.. Newman discarded
all his work and ignored his sug-
gestions, insisting that Negro music
had to be crude and dancing had
to be Secy to be authentic" And
others in the music department
gave him fine cooperation, said the
famous composer.
Il felt that after having worked
for SO many years to build up a
reputation, it would be suicide to
let my name go out on the screen
credits as taking the responsibility
for music about which Norman had
let me have nothing to say" he
declared.
II decided that I would not ac-
cept the studios money any longer
under such circumstances, and al
though it meant a considerable fl
nancial loss, I resigned after six
weeks of work on January 30"

Al Sa!maggi In
Third Try At !
PopuIar0pera
Packed House
Greets Former
Howard Teacher
BY CARL DIT0N

NEW YORK - CAMP - Negro
<Aida'S" can in no wise complain
for lack of opportunity for display
ing their gifts in these parts, Tor
no less than four have been pre-
scented III New York City within re-
cent years, credit for three or
which goes to Alfredo Salmaggl,
who seems determined that people
of moderate income shall have pop
llar opera.
Maestro Salmaggi's first success
was attended with amazement and
glamor when Caterina Jarboro,
fresh from her European appearan-
ces became the vogue years ago
at the numerous Aida perform
ances of the Chicago (not Civic
Opera Company. Then Mimic Cato,
experienced vaudevillian and star
of one of Lew Leslie's "Blackbird
companies, tried out her operate
wings at the some Hippodrome,
which is now no more.
Now Signor Salmaggi, curtalllng
little bit, has taken his noW-
called Popular Opera company out
of Manhattan to Brooklyn, where
he can once again enjoy packed
houses. Friday night he presented
Edith Sewell, formerly of the How
ard University conservatory, in
Aida" at the Brooklyn Academy
of Music.
APPLAUSE CONSERVATIVE
The packed house recalled the
artists many times, but there was
noticeable conservatism in the APP
plause. However, there were dis
tinctive traits in the performance
that were decidedly evident, wheth-
er those in the audience were aware
of them or not. The chorus, tho
trimmed down numerically, blend
ed effectively both on and off stage.
Of course, choriSterS seem to have
lost the art of adhering to pitch.
So we need not dwell upon that.
The scenic effects and lighting
were agreeable to the eye, and the
orchestra provided good tone quail
ity under the guidance and, we
presume, selection of conductor
Simeoni. Maestro Salmaggi has
not always been able to- boast of
good instrumentaliStS The ballet
was enthusiastic and every one on
the stage seemed happy in making
the performance smooth one.
Even the stage hands contributed
in cutting down the waits" be-
tween the scenes.
CAST NOT UNIFORM
The cast, tho acceptable, was not
uniform and could easily be divided
into two types of voices: large and
small. Maria Powers worked hard
dramatically with her Amneris,
singing, perhaps, little strident in
the opening phrases of her scenes.
Probably the best singing was done
by Cozzi as Amonasro, and NOBLE
i and Carbone as II re and Ramfis.
Arald Lindi as RadameS seems to
have been a wise choice so as not
stoo greatly have to overpoWer the
beautiful voice OF Miss Sewe1l,
which is yet rather small for grand
opera, although she possesses nat
ural gifts for acting, more especial
ly for amorous episodes. She very
deity and wisely saved her high
notes, even whole passages in the
upper register, for more important
momentS that were coming. AS a
matter of fact, no one was too Law
sish with top tones the entire even
8ing. And it must be remembered
that the title role of this Verdi
masterpiece is child's play for no
.soprano!
