Now that "Sepia Cinderella" has

worried look off their faces. For
a time when Cinderella was be-

ure would never be complete. A.
side from the usual headaches
that come during a film produc-
ton, Sheila Guyse, who is Cind-
erella herself, announced that
she was expecting. Married to
the noted Shelby Miller, Sheila
had kept the maternal news quiet.
So Jack Goldberg, prexy of Her
aid Pictures, grabbed the scrip
writers and directors and worekd
up an emergency 'rush-order'
soript-in fact the "Sepia Cind
erella' set looked like the night
shift at locked for a while-so.
now, Cinderella has been assur-
ed of a long successful run. and
the Shelby Millers and baby Shei-
la Ann, who is blissfully una
ware of her role in the film. are
taking it easy at their Brooklyn
home.
Ella Fitzgerald, whose new disc.

to wish her newdisc success-A
handsome man took her hand and

white schools?' Mr.. Wesley also
asks the question as to whether
we believe it is easier to force
Texas to admit Negroes into cur
reent white schools than it is to
fight and force them to equalize
the separate schools? the answer
is APPARENTLY No However, when
you realize that Negroes have
been fighting for equality in sep
arate school for mere than eighty
years and have not obtained a
semblance of equality, a question
as to which is the easier method
is not the question before us, and
I have little faith in opportunists
who look for the easy way out.
There is no easy answer to seq
regation and discrimination. We
have to decide whether we want
separate schools or the end of seq
regation.
1T should be pointed out that
the NAACP and its legal staff
al move no Easter than the
people themselves and no suits
are filed until after We have been
requested to do so by the aggriev-
cd parties. Perhaps one of the
reasons more action has not been
taken in educational cases in Tex
as has been that the NAACP has
not been requested to act in more
caess.
Mr.. Wesley then asks the ques-
ton: Isn't it true that separation
in the South is used primarily to
discriminate against Negroes?' 7
didn't know that was a question
anymore in anyones mind. The
reason that We are fighting again
segregation is because segregation
and discrimination are so tied up
together that you can't tell one
from the other.
And hen Mr.. Wesley asks the
question as to whether or not we
could not proceed by enforcing
the Constitution of the southern
states instead Of proceeding un-
der the United States Constitu-
ton. The answer to this is that
the record will show that on the
one hand, nothing is gained under
the Constitution of southern states
and that of the legal benefits
we have obtained for Negroes in
the South have been through the
use of the Federal Constitution"

The Chariot was chosen as the
subject of our ministers Sunday
morning address Sept. Z, to his
spiritual filled congregation. He
used as text 16 chapter oath verse
of Mathews, and his thoughts for
the day was as follows: there
is a corresponding amount of
sacrific by a man; if that man
expects to walk with God, it cost
a man something to stand by the
principles Of righteousness against
all odds, and there is but one
security, and that security is in
Jesus Christ.

ESQIRE ROFlLES DIZZY
GILLESPIE AND HIS BEPOP

credited to be the father of the
modern bebop is Dizzy Gillespie
profiled in the October Esquire
article, The Dir and the Bebop,
and pictured in a full-color photo.
graph, aptly titled, Bobba Doodle
Dee Bebop.
Dizzy's bebop is another leg in
the long journey from the New
Orleans folk music called jazz.
Jazz, like any other music worthy
of the name, changes with the
impact of new personalities, new
ideas. It's mutations tend toward
an intellectual and finished form
as opposed to the sensuous ap-
peal of the more primitive jazz.
"Bebop has had a greater effect
on musicians than any jazz inno-
walton since Kid Dry decided to
leave the tail gate open and ex-
ercise his elbow more.'
Gillespie, declares the Esquire
piece, is the outstanding exponer@
Of this bebop form. AS leader of
this new Revolution" he holds
in his hands a shiny trumpet-in-
stead of a bomb-and the Revo-
luton is largely what comes out
of that trumpet, for tho Dig
plays the trumpet like nobody
ever played before.
Born John Birks Gillespie, the
Negro boy halls from Cheraw,
South Carolina. His father was
a brick-mason, who, as a hooby,
had a band of his own. He owned
the instruments and kept them
around the house. Dizzy grew up
surrounded by piano, guitar and
bass fiddle-but no trumpet. He
started off on the piano but learn
ed trumpet on a borrowed instru-
ment. Just twelve short years ago
he played his first big-time en-
gagement with Charlie Shavers.
BY the time the Dir was four.
teen, he vas fronting his own
high-school comb. He played brief
stints with Galloway, Ellington,
Barnett, Hines and Ella Fitz-
gerald, and at nineteen became
the rage of England and France,
which he toured with Teddy Hills
band. After returning to this coun-
try he realized that there was
much more in music than the
people were getting, he develop
ed his bebop style in a Harlem
club called Minton's Little by
little bebop became a national fad
and made a name for itself and
its chief exponent.
Although today Dizzy Gillespie
has been elevated to a place De-
side Bunk Johnson and Arm
strong, selling bebop to the public
has been a rather rough PROPOSE
ton. AS late as July, 1916, recalls
the October Esquire article, Gill

in that same city last February

and fire brigades to control the
crowds assaulting the theater to
