The Painters OF
Ethiopia Cadets
BY DON WILLUBY

EDITORS Note: InlS is the 4Cn
and last in series of articles which
have appeared in the SUN, dealing
with the past activities of the Phoe-
nix younger set, who have made
good.
The Rotary Club of Glendale, Ari-
zona, spring of 1884, was giving
their formal annual banquet. They
wanted something special for the
evening entertainment. A special
committee contacted the club just
one week before the event. The
Painter kiddies were alerted and
made ready for the program.
The best club dancers were called,
Spring Time Girls" In their re-
pertoire, were such numbers as the
"Blue Danube" "The Skater S
Waltz" "Spring Beautiful Spring" ="
and feature solos.
One hundred and fifty beautiful
ly dressed white women with their
escorts were seated at tables dec
grated in yellow and red flowers,
bunting in giant bell shape run
ming from the center overhead to
all sides and then down by the win
dows of the Hi School auditorium.
Mr.. Grover Dobbs, stepped into
the banquet hall and announced,
from then on the guests would be
under complete charge of the kids.
Little Cappie Taylor, in white
slacks, blue and red cape, dashed
out center to emcee. She was
beautiful there with those beauti-
. full eyes and hair neatly done wait
ing for the applause to stop; she
like it, the applause grew louder
and louder, the kid was tremen-
dous hit, from then on as she an
nounced each number in her own
style and manner, unrehearsed.
The room at the head of the au-
ditorium was the dressing room.
And from that room Cappie brought
out her surprises. The Skaters
Waltz, The Blue Danube Waltz,
and the Rotary Club songs, Spring
Beautiful Spring, and climaxed with
the world famous Mozart Minuet
Dance. The whole house arose and
cheered the kids when they took
their final bow there was an extra
applause for Cappie too.
Cappie had come a long ways in
three years, once she was awk-
ward, bashful, 1ist-tongued, almost
too slim but she had good nerves
and didn't mind trying. This was
a victory for Cappie and for the
club. Mrs. Eilyard, who was as
sisted at the piano by Mildred Phil
lips, said, that was the kids most
heartfelt and beautiful perform
ance. Earline, Moo Moo, Poky,
Clara Lee, Ella Louise, Callie Ludia
Gooch and all were tops.
Where Did the Money Come From?
Over the eight years about $4,000
were spent on the club. Four hun
dred fifty-seven came from public
programs, $125 from Josephine
Baker, and $4,418 came directly out
of Grover c. Dobbs pocket at the
rate of about five hundred dollars
per year.
Two hundred and fifty-seven
yards of voil silk alone were re-
quired for the kiddies Spring Time
Dance, and Skaters Waltz.
What has become Of this fellow
Dobbs anyway; this we are not
able to tell you. He is an old man
for sure. Perhaps his head is white
or turning gray. If he is living his
steps may be little slower. But
we are sure that he walks down

Some Don'ts

Do not pick your teeth in public.
Do not chew gum in public.
Do not talk loudly when on bus
or train. Speak softly, it portrays
well breeding.
Do not whistle at anyone when
on the street.
Do not talk too long when asked
to make remarks. You might in
fringe, upon the time of others who
will follow you; that is impolite.
Do not fail to write "thank you"
letters or cards, having visited some
one from out of town. It is di-
rect insult to your host not to do
so.
Do not fail to answer your cor
respondence. So many persons are
guilty of this. But you do owe it
to your correspondent.
Do not walk down the street with
woman between two men. Her
place is on the inside of the street.

resa suite, Jimmy gets on the
phone, planning busy day ahead.
His calls have so pammed the
switchboards, operators tell the
caller what number The is in the
line waiting. It's convenient that
Jimmy never eats breakfast for he
woul not have the time anyway.
About 2 pm. he'll get kinda hungry
and his first thought is for sweet
milk or buttermilk, which he gulps
by the quarts.
Jimmy, who sandwiched in our
interview between big deal confer
ences, wore a blue lounging robe
and a worried look. He had so
many details on his mind. One was
what time of morning he'd have to
leave, with allowances for all the
commitments The had made, for the
six hour drive to Washington. He
wanted to arrive a day before the
opening for rehearsalS at the How
ard Theatre.
He smoked a Pail Mall every
other minute. He already walks up
and down a room while talking,
Like a Hollywood producer. And he
talked of many things; mostly
about acting.
CAREER COMES FIRST
The life of Jimmy Edwards is
built around acting. He lives for
the stage, the crowds and the ap-
plause. But he detests glamour. He
can spot a phoney blindfold. For
Jimmy'S simple guy who loves
simple people. There's nothing Hol-
lywoodish about him. He's genuine
and sincere. He even loves corn
bread and chitterlings. Out in Los
Angeles, where he has Broom
bachelor apartment and drives a
40 greenish blue Buick, the girls
had the same trouble as those
everywhere. He's charming to ev-
erybody and calls everybody "darl-
ing" But his career, one in which
he has poured struggle, sacrifice
and heart-that is the only dear
thing to him. And he nouriShes it
with loving care.
Jimmy's fight as Negro actor
is much like Jackie Robinson's as
Negro ball player. They both
were "firsts" to break into the "big
leagues" For his part as an Ameri-
can soldier in Home of the Brace"
will always be remembered. The
public should feel proud and honor
ed that there are such intelligent,
capable young men to break bar
riers and carry through.
But to Jimmy, being a sought
after celebrity is wonderful tri-
butte to that fight. He can't even
leave the theatre for a sandwich
without a mob of fans blocking his
passage. And he never passes them
UP. He feels, he says, "very humble
that they sand there and wait that
long for him. The least he can do
is give them an autograph-and a
smile

The men on the outside of the
street.
Do not walk down the street with
a man between two women. His
place is on the outside, and the
women on the inside of the street.
Do not use the word mice" to
describe everything. Use some other
word.

GLOBE REFUSES u. S.
CASH FOR HOUSING

The city council and the mayor
of Globe has decided that it is one
city that can get along without low
cost housing.
Mayor David H. Campbell, at
tending a housing meeting in Phoe-
nix last week said that he and the
Globe city fathers would not accept
federal funds to build low-cost units
because it would "put the city of
Globe in the real estate business" /"
and would be "socialistic."
