Er,skine Hawkins
Guest On Tommy
Dorsey Radio Show

NEW YORK-Between an ag-
gregation Of one nighters and
theatre dates, bandleader Frs
kline Hawkins made a uest APP
pearance on the Tommy Dorsey
disc jockey show. Because both
orchestra maestros were laden
with day and night commit
ments, the radio interview took
place in a small studio in 1919.
Broadway where the music giants
sat down in ront of microphones
and had their comments pre-
served on a tape recording ma
chine.
In the meantime, the Twen-
tieth Century Gabriel has been
signed to co.'s rtawith Ella Fitz-
gerald in hr first Amrican
theatre date since her return
from London at the Paradise
Theatre, in Detroit. Ella and the
Hawk have worked togther be-
fore and from past experience
find that they coordinate well
as an entertainment unit.
In records the Hawk has a
new hit in his latest RCA Victor
release, "Big Fat>~Sam" which
got a tremendous boost from
jockey Tommy Dorsey, who doff-
ed his cap to the tune at the in
terview session. Dorsey herald
ed the Hawks simple story of
how the Tuxedo Junction" or
chestra was formed as one of the
most unusual stories he had ever
heard.

+ aimed Composer
Urges Negro Youth
Into Serious Music

Negroes can still be pioneers
in serious music" says William
Grant Still in December Negro
Digest, "and with the proper
training and attitude can achieve
hitherto unheard of successes.
Mr.. Still insists, however, that
he does not urge young colored
people to adopt music as a pro-
fesSiOn unless tneS are meant
for that work and for none
other. And he continues in the
Negro Digest feature:
"The first question an asplr-
ing musician should ask himself
is, do | want to make music or
do | want to make money" For
you can make money in the en-
tertainment world with a very
small amount of preparation and
a great amount of personal mag
netism."
In serious music, enough, Mr..
Still continues in the article es-
pecially written for Negro Di-
gest's Future Of Negro Youth"
series, a Negro can can contri-
butte to racial advancement and
to interracial understanding as
we'll as to wealth Of great mu-
sic. The door has already been
opened to colOred singers, con-
ductors, and composers. Instru-
mentalists, too, now ar welcome
in some symphonies, Mr.. Still
declares.
mo one should adopt music
as a profession" Mr.. Still con-
cludes, unless he enjoys it, I'M
less it comes from his heart and
unless he loves it so much he
can't be happy doing anything
else.
"Given these basic qualities,
the technical side Of music can
be mastered by anyone with a
good mind. If he also has a
Questing mind ne will go on to
experiment over and above what
he has learned in school and add
his own unique style to his mu-
sic. He will be a pioneer.
SLOWLY but surely opporluni-
ties are here fortunately for the
alert. So come on along. There's
! always room at the top"

Negro Singers TO
Try For Metropolitan
Opera Company

1t is. high time that Negroes
become members Of the Metro
politan opera Company, the ma
TONS greatest musical organi-
cation. The circumstance of
colo. prejudice should rapidly
be ended which, until now, has
kept the golden tones of some
of the worlds finest singers
from ringing through the mighty
halls Of the Metropolitan Opera
House. Even as te barriers
against Negroes playing profess
sional basketball, football, ten
MIS-. golf, being heavyweight
champion of the world have been
torn down-so must Negro
America now grid itself for an
all out fight to see to it that
our men and women of vocal,
histrionic and artistic might,
get their chance to gain fame
and fortune in the opera houses
on the United States.
There is no question but that
Marian Anderson, Dorothy May
nor, Carol tBrice, Ellabelle Davis,
Larry Winters, and other gift
ed Negro artists, if given the in
centive and the opportunity to
appear in Americas major OPP
era houses, they would more
than hold their own. Each of
the artists named above has
widespread following among
music lovers who hundreds of
thousands Of dollars each year
to hear their golden voices, and
thrill to their artistry. Yet, none
fthese artists are members Of
the Metropolitan Opera Associa-
ton. No Negro has trod the
No.the stage of the Metropoli-
tan, singing an operate role.
Certainly Marian Anderson and
Carol Brice could match the vo-
cal proves of any two other
4, contraltos presently members Of
; the Met; the same holds true
for Miss Davis and Miss May
nor, as regards sopranos.

Hard Won Success
Of Negro Family

In recognition of the outstand-
ing achievements of one Negro
family, only two generations re-
moved from slavery, CORONET
applauds Mother and Father
Julian and their talented flock of
six children.
The Julian family started out in
Montgomery, Alabama, where the
Confederacy was launched and
where the eighth grade was the
limit of public school education
for Negro youngsters. Yet today
the Julian children have IA aca-
domic degrees between them, in
Columbia.
Father" Julian, then u. S
Guiding several from Harvard and
mail clerk, and his wife managed
to bring up their accomplished
brood on $l25 month. The Jul
IAN determination which has been
the basis for such exceptional at
tainments reverts back to Grand
father Julian who insisted that
his children learn all they could.
He implanted in them deep
sense of honesty, plus a determi-
nation to win an education and
this was passed on by Father"
Julian.
BY toiling and scheming, the Ju-
lians got their children through
grade school. But always before
them was the lure for higher edu-
cation. The high-school hurdle was
taken. But it meant the children
had to work they ways through
by doing odd pobs, Father" Jul
ian going without lunches and
Mother" Julian taking in laun.
