Dixon Discusses
Formation OF A
Youth Orchestra
Youth OF All I
CoIors To Play
In New Symphony

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Plans
for the American Youth orchestra
were announced to the press Thurs
day by Dean Dixon, noted con-
ductor and director of this new or
ganization, at a nress conference
held at the Hotter McAlpin-
To show youth a new field for
their imaginative and emotional
energies, through the introduction
to the classics, is the goal. AS a
weapon against fantic "jitterbug-
ISM and delinquent activities, the
music of the concert hall will be
presented. Thus, youngsters will
find entertainment and education
in what has here before often been
thought of as music for the intel
Iectually mature.
Specifically, the plan calls for an
orchestra of high calibre musicians
ranging in age from Is to 38, which
will perform for young people
throughout New York City.
With the aid of DR.. Irving Lorge,
professor of psychology at Column
bia university, musical programs
will be prepared which will reach
children as young as three years
of age. Music lectures, pageants
and games will be offered with the
idea of breaking down the tradi-
tional age categories previously
used in the musical training of
youth. Most important the orches-
ira will go to the children, rather
than wait for the audiences to ap-
pear in a specific music hall.
The orchestra works on COM
pletely democratic basis. Prospec-
tive players are auditioned by Mr.
Dixon from behind a screen, and
are judged solely on playing ability
rather than on the basis of race,
color, creed or sex.
At present the string section of
the orchestra is being developed
with an eye toward playing the
abundant string literature avail
able for chamber groups. The
| works of lesser known great COM
posers are also on the agenda. AS
for other material, it is hoped that
new works of young composers will
be commissioned when the orches-
ira is financially able to undertake
such program.
Sponsored by the American
Youth for Democracy, the orches-
ira is working zealously for the ad-
vancement of a rich cultural pro-
gram for young people Pull the
! energies of youth together, and
they can be emotionally stimulated
as much by the classics as by jazz"
states Mr.. Dixon The classics offer
colorations and rhythmic patterns
more enticing than those of jazz
We have but to make the correct
musical approach to children and
good music will become their Ian
guage."
Inquiries should be addressed to
| Miss Ruth H. Saslow, secretary of
the orchestra, at 291 Broadway.

At Memphis House

NEW YORK-(ANP) Another
sort of southern Jim crow was re-
vealed last week when it was
brought to the attention of goth
Century Fox officials, movie
producers, that theater houses in
the south are cutting Negro scenes
out of films. Such scenes, south
erners claim, place the Negro on a
basis of social equality with tine
whites
In Memphis last week, at the
showing of United Artists" SEN
sations of 1945," Cab Galloway and
his band were cut out of the film;
Lena Horne's scene in Broad
wav Rhythm, was banned. Also
in other southern cities such
scenes were ousted from certain
motion nictureS. The picture,
STORMY Weather" was held up
months before Memphis theaters
were permitted to show it.
Newsreels alike censor such
scenes which glorify the Negro in
anv respect. Reviewers claim that
these scenes have been eliminated
from certain motion pictures re-
gardless to the effect on the arts
tic side or to the continuity OF
the film.
Southern censors have indica-
ted that such scenes WILL go on

Dorothy Dix
Says

The other day a middle aged
woman, wearing a sloppy house
dress and bearing upon her lined
face and work-knotted hands the
signs of hard struggle with life,
walked into a swanky hat shop
and purchased three befiowered
and beribboned confections at S45
each. So pleased was she with
her bargain that she returned
the next day with her daughter
and bought her three fancy hats
at the same price.
This story, which I know to be
absolutely true, can be duplicated
in every luxury shop in the whole
country, for the women who work
in the war plants and who are
getting fantastic wages have gone
on an orgy of extravagant buying
that makes the merchants think
that the millennium has arrived.
1t is not the millionairesses
now who are buying mink coats
and ermine capes and evening
gowns that run up into the hun
dreds of dollars. 1t is the lady
welders and riveters who are
throwing their money around and
loading themselves down with
the incongruous finery for which
they have no possible use. And
there is something pathetic, as
we'll as grotesque and appalling,
in this spending spree that these
women have gone on, because it
represents so much Wishful
thinking, so many longings that
they had never really hoped to
have gratifled.

There will be no folding money
