Nellie Lutcher and her rhythm
along with Bumps Blackwell's
local orchestra will appear in per-
son at the Seattle Armory this
Friday night. This win be her only
appearance In this state. We are
indeed fortunate to have such a

Americas foremost opponents OF
vocal and instrumental jazz was
born in the heart of Louisiana, a
state which can riy1tfully claim
to have begotten "jazz' itself.
But coincidental or otherwise,
one frosty morning of October Is,
1915 a daughter was born to Isaac
and Susie Lutcher. She was their
first child, and thay called her
Nellie.
Young Nellie's interest in piano
became evident as soon as she
was able to reach the keyboard.
Nellie's interest in jazz grew ra-
pidly and she never missed an
opportunity to attend rehearsals OF
the band in which her father play
ed. Finally she joined the band
stayed with it for six years. Then
she joined the Southern Rhythm
Boys, playing piano of course, but

Rev. Chappelle of LIST A M. e.
Church.
The members of the Daughter
Elk Family were also present re-
called in their white purple, and
black, and rendere the Last Serv-
ice to a beloved Daughter. This
organization was one of Mrs. Halls
favorites as she was never alb
sent from a meeting or function
until confined to her bed.
After renditions by the Church
Choir solo by Mrs. Bessie Rat
cliff, Rev. Davis read the obituary
and offered the last service to
Mrs. Hall, one that not only served
as last service to this faithful
Sister but one that touched the
hearts of all present. lesson in
Preparedness, as this passing
member was.
Many resolutions were read by
members of lodges conveying a
last message of honor to one that
had been faithful, and shall be
dong remembered.
The Daughters of Elks proceed
ed to the cemetery where the
members of the P. d. Rulers Coun-
Gil gave the last honors to this
never to be forgotten Daughter
of the Order.
Abundance of floral displays
covered the ground and lined the
walk as tokens of respect from
friends and relatives.
Mrs. Hall leaves to mourn her
loss a host of friends and relat-
ives who indeed has our deepest
sympathy.
The Daughters of Elks wish to
contribute this poem to departed
Daughter.
Our road through life, however
straight,
Will always turn, at last
And now beyond that final turn
Someone We love has passed,
But there is comfort in the thought
OF our reunion there
Beyond the turning in the road
Where life is bright and fair!

the group for Hollywood and the
West Coast She has played prac-
tically all the spots in Hollywood.
Nellie did a March of Dimes
show and there met up with the
great 10 Alexander, a s'ar in his
own right. Nellie impressed Joe
SO much that he insisted on Cap
itol Records talent man hearing
her. Evidntly Dave Dexter's en-
thusiasm was equal to Joe's. for
an addition followed, and soon she
signed a long term contrat with
Capitol Records.
Immediately upon release of
these records, Nellie's popularity
began to increase by leaps and
bounds. The disc-jockeys heard
them and began to plug them with
never-ending fervour. And of
course. through the medium of
records. her popularity became
nation wide.
AT this point she took unto hor-
self a personal manager, Carlos
Gastel, who handles King Cole,
Peggy Lee & Stan Kenton. Gastel
arranged to handle her personal
appearances in such manner
that the entire country was able
to see her right when her records
were the hottest.
Possessing contagious laugh
and a winning personality, in addi-
ton to her inexhaustible flow of
talent, Nellie will always be one
of Americas great jazz artists.
Her masterpieces of honest and
sincere jazz include: Hurry on
on Down. "The Lady's in Love
With You, Hes a Real Gone
and "You Better Watch Yourself,
Guy. LET Me Love You Tonight,
Bub."
She's a real gone gal in any
body's league!

new FRATERNITY
AT WASHINGTON

The University Of washington

According to Robert d. Addison
Public Housing Manager, Bremen
ton, Washington, the fraternities'
Provincial Polermarch of oregon,

the first Chapter of a national
Greek letter fraternity ever estab-

of a Greek letter fraternity on
the campus of the University OF
Washington with Negro members.

University of Washington recent
ruling relating to Notwithstanding
alton in student organizations

and is first Greek letter frater-
nifty on the campus to break the
barrier and include members of
both races into it's membership.
Keppe Alpha Psi differs from
other college fraternities in that
it is more than an ordinary frat
ernity. 1t is an organization for
the purpose of achievement. 1t is
designed to enrich the lives of
its members and to awaken with
in them high ideals and honor
able ambitions. Each Chapter
stands for progress and true
manliness and has proves a val

atmosphere in the college, by
maintaining a high standard of
scholarship. and by Kidding the
college of all that is dishonorable
