Twin Cities for over four years
and this looked liked the place to
start.
They left June Richmond in
Europe and headed for Minnesota
and started bringing name bands
to the Twin Cities that have ad-
ded many hours of pleasure to
jazz and dance fans in the Twin
Towns.
About six months ago she and
her partner dissolved their part
nership and since then she has
been on her own.
This weekend she is sponsoring
Weekend of Jazz" something
that has never been done before in
this area.
She's bringing two top bands
on successive nights. Anna Mae
Winburn and her Sweethearts of
Rhythm will play on Friday night
and Saturday Lowell Fulsom and
Lloyd Glenn will make their first
appearance in this area.
Show business has always fas-
cinated her, Miss Black said, and
since she lacked the necessary
talent to become performer she
chose the business side.
In addition to promoting dances,
Miss Black is attending school,
learning tailoring and is planning
to go to New York to school as
soon as he application is accepted.
Upon completion of her studies
there she plans to come back to
Minneapolis and open her fashion
salon
After she has completed her
girlhood ambitions. it's almost a
cinch bet that new ambitions will
appear on the HORIZONS.
No, she doesn't plan TO give up
her entertainment promoting, This

up a good promotion business and
intends to keep growing in that
field also.

she has had a burning desire to
travel in Europe crack the en-
tertainment field and own what
would be the equivalent of
Paris dress salon.
Two of these dreams came true.
She spent over year touring
Europe with June Richmond the
singer, as her secretary. And has
been on the business side of show
Minneapolis for the past three
years. She is sole owner of the
ID. p. Black Presentations.
The chance to tour Europe came
when she took what she thought
was going to be a two week job,
She was in Cincinnati at the time
attending school, studying fashion
designing of course, and was hop
ing her application to Trapen-
hagen would be accepted. Trapen-
hagen is probably the top fashion
designing school in the nation and
as a result always has more APP
plicants than it can accommodate.
When Miss Richmond's secre-
tary became i'll IL was thought
that she would be i'll for only
about two weeks Miss Black never
thought she would wind up in
Europe.
While with Miss Richmond, Miss
Blacks application had been ac-
cepted by the school and two or
three days later the chance to
tour Europe developed,
To tour Europe with all expens-
es paid and a salary was too
great an offer to turn down and
school would just have to wait
awhile
II was while in Europe, that
Miss Black and her former bust
ness partner. Rufus Webster. the
pianist for Miss Richmond
thought up the idea OF promoting
dances.

The Western States Golf Tour

This time the Twin City Golf

leave these two towns singing
our praises. We're hospitable peo-
pie and no organized group should
come here, and go away feeling
we are not.
