these people and although l have
high regard for her husband, feel
that it would be best for her to re-
main with me until her husband
returns and they can make a home.
My daughter is also undecided. She
is working, making her own way
in life and enjoys her work. Help
US to decide.
Ans: War brides are forced to
make many adjustments to pre-
serve their marriages. Your daugh-
ter is working, saving her money
and apparently as happy as she can
be under the circumstances and
there is no reason for her to make
a permanent change of residence.
Since her husbands people do not
live but a few hundred miles from
you, it would be very thoughtful
of her to visit his parents for
weekend and get acquainted with
them. She will probably want to
know them better as time goes on
and occasional visits in their home
will help her and also make her
husband appreciate her more. His
people are fine, else they would not
have extended an invitation to
your daughter to make her home
with them while their son is at war.
Encourage her to spend some of
her time with them.

THE Able WALLACE SERVICE

+. N. r.: Here Is my problem. l
am married, husband is in the serv-
ice. The boy that was my sweet
heart before l married is in the
service overseas and is not married.
1 haven't seen him during these
three years l have been married.
He writes me and sends me very
nice presents. He tells me that he
loves me but he never did ask me
to marry him until he found out
l was married. AS sweetheart he
was very nice. Bought me a car
for my birthday. In all his letters
ne tells me to wait for him. When
his boy comes back to the States
10 you think he will cause my mar.
ried life to be unhappy?
Ans: You have given him every
reason to believe that you are wait
'ng to share your future with him.
You write him regularly and ac-
;ept his presents. Why do you in
list on building this soldiers hopes
md dreams up to a high level of
expectations when you have not the
,lightest idea of breaking up your
marriage? You might have re-
opened this old love affair uninten-
tionally but it is certainly your duty
and your place to close It if you
want to save your marriage. At the
present you are deceiving your
husband, this friend and your own
elf as well, and eventually all
three of you will be made to suffer
if you do not clear up the situation
Immediately.
J. T.: My grandson is in the
Navy and he wants to get out. He
writes and says ne just can't go on
and / am so downhearted and wor-
ried and can't get myself together.
So many people got counsel and
guidance from your column. Help

You never got a chance to tell us all
goodbye
And yet you knew, you like the rest

work was not in vain
We never called you Grandpa, twas just
plain "old Pop
To have you as a Granddad we all
thought you were 'tops"
Dear Pop, you labOred earnestly, your
labor not in vain
Those you left behind will not forget
your aim
So rest dear Pop you're we'll rid Of the
abuse Of this cruel world
These times of war. strife, hatred,
ungodliness and turmoil

Ans: The majority of young
boys away from home for the first
time experience a feeling of lOneli-
ness and dissatisfaction. But for
tunately, this feeling is only tenn
pOrary and soon wears off. When
your grandson completes his boot
training he viii feel like an old
veteran and will take on the air of
seasoned seaman. At which time
he will be very proud of his ac-
complishments and his place in
service. Don't you worry any more,
Grandmother you will see
real man when you see him again.
L. G.: Since my boy friend has
been in service / fell in with an
old man. He is 80 jealous of me
can't go any place or talk to any
one. My friend in service says he
will be home soon. Should I give
up this old man?
Ans: Indeed you should. Your
boy friend would not want you If
he came back and found you with
another man. Get q job and 60 to
work and become self supporting.
With your spare time occupied, you
would not feel the necessity of q
companion during yottr friends
absence.
N. C. B.: Your Guide has helped
me more this year than anything
l have read. Now / need your coun-
sci. My daughter recently married
a soldier with whom she appears
to be very much in love. He has
been shipped overseas. Before
leaving, he suggested that he
would like for her to visit his peo-
pie and live with them if she liked,
while he was gone. They invited
her too. Ny daughter doesn't know

LEIGHBUR TELLS WHY FOLKS
FLOCK TO HEAR KING COLE
BY DON DeLEIGHBUR

When the King Cole Trio was
playing Harlem's famous Apollo
Theatre a few weeks ago and set
ing an all-time attendance record,
somebody wanted to know just
what was it about these three boys
that led people to stand for hours
in the rain and cold to get in to
see and hear them. Of course, it is
factual that recordings which be-
come nationally popular are the
springboards from which musicians
and singers can jump into the "in
person" leadership when they play
theatre and night club engage
ments. 1t is also a fact that radio
and movie engagements contribute
to the popularity of attractions to
the point where they draw huge
crowds at the box offices.
Why Common Man Likes Trio
However, in the case of the King
Cole Trio, something else played
a contributing if not a major role
in the tremendous success the three
boys have attained since they left
Hollywood on a nationwide swing.
1t was best expressed by waiter
in one of the Harlem restaurants
who had just come from the Apollo
Theatre. Said he:
Man, I'd stand in line to hear
them fellers any time and any
place because they don't bring me
down like some of the other colored
entertainers. There amt no whole
lot of showing their teeth, GRIMM
scrapin' n bowin' an talkin' bout
pork chops, watermelons n yas-
sab boss 1--WE bout them. They just
sits up there an plays that music
like it should be played. They
make you feel good you're colored.
Yes they do"

his regalia and march with the
Elks Lodge, and support everything
Negro which he thinks is worth
while, was probably expressing a
point of view shared by thousands
of colored showgoers all over the
nation. The exploits of Joe Louis,
the acclaim by the nation of theatre
and movie stars of the new genera
ton of Negroes like Lena Horne,
Miner Brothers and Lois, the Mills
Brothers, Hilda Simms, Pearl
Primus, Hazel Scott, the Nicholas
Brothers, the Delta Rhythm Boys,
and so on, are a constant source
of pride to the little Negro" as
typifed by the waiter. They don't,
on the whole, really care for the
old-fashioned "darky" act or per-
former in which pork chops, water
melon and chicken are the main
means of getting a laugh. In
stead, they worship dignity as ex-
pressed by the King Cole Trio, The
Duke Ellington, Jimmy Launceford
and Noble Sissle orchestras.
Trio Display Artistry
In addition to the great dignity
displayed in their first Harlem ap-
pearance by the King Cole Trio was
the consummate artistry of their
work. Versatility seems to be a
watchword with this threesome,
but through all their performances
of various kinds of music, torch,
swing, comedy, ballad and blues,
a dominating style is present,
identifying the music as strictly
King Cole. The people like that.
Imitators don't get too far. Box
office attractions are built today on
originality. That's why the King
! Cole Trio is so far out in front.
