NEW YORK CITY-(Calvin's
News Service)-Even for a mis-
cradle storm outside, Miss Mimic
Cato, al, Arkansas born lady
with a rich voice we'll remem-
bered in such operas as aida, "
LA Traviata" and al Trova-
tore" nestled up her cozy apart
ment on st. Nicholas Avenue and
burst forth with her exhuberant
personality.
She's excited about the first
affair of the National Negro
Opera Company's New York
Chapter of which she is Chair
man. It's an all-star concert fea-
turines4 scenes from three operas.
Aida, Faust and LA Ira
viata.'' And she's proud of the
chorus which has been trained
by her.
TAUGHT AT ATHENS
Miss Cato, born La Minta, is
of a musical family and started
to entertain as early as six years
old. She taught for three years
at Athens, Georgia where she
produced school plays, directed
and wrote dialogue. She was the
second and last Negro woman to
sing the title role. in "Aida" at
the N. Y. Hppodrome Theatre
with an all-white company.
1t has been said that there
is no substitute for hard work
and this is foremost in the mind
of Mimic Cato. After graduating
from Knoxville (Tennessee) Col
lege, she studied at Howard Uni
versity. Nine, Gerta Gerdini, an
Italian, is her coach now and
Miss Cato still runs to take her
lessons, believing that mo matter
how learned, a singer still needs
few pointers. f
QUITE A JOKER
She's quite a joker, and what's
better, tells some pretty funny
ones on herself. Expressing her
love of Chinese food, she laugh

Perry and Angott set a new Dis
trict indoor box ONCE record at
Uline Arena few months ago when
Angott won on a split decision be-
fore a crowd that paid over $50, 900.
The fact that Sammy today appears
IN the best physical shape of his
recent career and that Perry has
added ring experience badly needed
since that last meeting seems to
have sold Washingtonians on the
idea that the fight may prove to be
one Of the best Of the summer.
Angott admittedly will be out to
please local fans, who will judge
for themselves whether they want
to see Sammy in bout with Henry
Armstrong at the ball park on Sep
tember in the event that the for
mer champ repeats over Perry.
Perry. who may go to the Army
any day now. is determined to make
this the finest effort he has turned
in locally. If he upsets Angott the
local boy will be awarded the Sep
tember date with Hammerin' Hank
provided he is given the necessary
permission by Uncle Sam.
