NEW YORK, Feb. 3. (ANP)— Unlike some Southern audiences and censors who violently object to white and colored together .on what they call "terms of social equality,” a crowd of 1,500 persons etormed the Paramount theatre I Wednesday to hail the return of 1 Benny Goodman and his band featuring Teddy Wilson and Lionel Hampton, and see the new Mae West comedy film, “Every Day’s a Holiday,” in which Louis Armstrong plays his trumpet. Last week the Memphis board of censors cut out all scenes from a new film showing the Goodman quartet because Wilson and Hampton were present, but this same quartet was one of the reasons for the unprecedented Paramount crowd. Lines started forming outside the theatre at F» a. m., and the management had to call special police to care for the throng of 1,600 on hand when doors were opened at 7:30, a half-hour before i scheduled time. The box office was forced to close at 10:30 with a line extending a block away, and Ihe entire house of 3,664 seats had been sold out by nine. When the Goodman band appeared on the stage the audience roared a hearty greeting and couples began dancing in the aisles, with some of the more venturesome even going up on the Stage. As a precautionary measure doors were scheduled to open a half*hour earlier during the band’s engagement there.

COLORED LAD FEATURED IN “PENROD AND HIS TWIN BROTHER”

HOLLYWOOD. Reb. 3.— (ANP) When the Warner Bros.’ picture. “Penrod and His Twin Brother, ’ I* released all over the country within a few weeks a talented young Negro lad will be seen in a leading part. This youngster's name is Philip Hurlic and he will support the fa mous twins, Billy and Bobby Mnmh. in this latest in the series or beloved Booth Tarkington stories about that adventuresome boy, Penrod. Philip will play the part of “Ver man.” inseparable chum of Penrod. In the story, which is an exciting one of murder, kidnapping and mistaken identity, young Philip

es a new cult of “Shadism over the objection of Sister Peaceful and her holy-rolling congregations. At an origental party, there is a battle between Shadism. holy-roll-ing. and science with Sadu Siberand, head of the cult, finally jailed for insulting the American Flag. Extra entertainment is intro- ! duced into the comedy through several of Heywood’s original songs, a male quartet in the Mills Brothers fashion, two tap dancers, three singers, an accordion play-er-vocalist and five oriental dancers. The cast is large and well dressed, with the males appearing mainly in tails and tuxedos and the women changing many times to beautiful evening gowns and street dresses.

Armstrong received a unanimous first vote of 3f> points is proof both of his unquestioned domination of the field and that there are so many other sensational players the selection of one above the other is purely personal preference. Most popular after Armstrong were 'tommy Dorsey, with 33 out of u possible 35, and Johnny Hodges

with 3U points.

These theatrical writers did not limit themselves to their own race but gave credit where they felt credit was due. The majority rules, so Beany Goodman wins me title of Ifest Swing Band of 1037 with 24 votes while Duke Ellington has to he content with second place at 16. Goodman, incidentally, was the only white band named and won three first place votes and three

•econds.

Incidentally, Ellington placed seven men on both bands with Arm,trong and Goodman four a piece. Duke got two seconds and two thirds, while Lunceford polled tw.>

irsts.

This interracial attitude carried over into individual selections where six white stars were named to the first regular band and four to the second. Ofay swingsters were runners-up for both special soloist and vocalist honors. Since only those musicians active in America during 1937 were eligible, several internationally fa mous aces were omitted. Coleman Hawkins could play tenor for anybody, and Benny Carter is Johnny Hodges’ only alto rival, but both Coleman and Hawkins have been in Europe for several years. Eddie Lang, considered the greatest guitarist, is dead and Django Reinhardt, his successor, is a French-i-ian who remains in Europe. There is no doubt but that either aggregation of torrid aces could swing from here to yonder and send the gates like nobody’s business. Even grandma would throw away her cane and teach a fewnew steps to the Lindy Hoppers if either group got together for an all-night jam session and gave out on such immortal jazz numbers as • Tiger Rag,” “St. Louis Blues,” or “Honeysuckle Rose” with each eat getting a chance to improvise until his lungs or hands gave out. It is hardly necessary to go into the individual qualifications of the chosen ones. You’ve heard them all either in person or on the radio. But from now on, keep them in mind when next you hear the band with which each plays. They are the l>est you can listen to, whether you are a rugcutter or one who takes his swing sitting down.

3R 9 s at Butler: Readiri, Ritin’, an’ Razziri By Marian Holiman

So you’ve be£u wondering just whut the colored student does at Butler to pass his time? is nil his life taken up by classes? If so, why don’t we hear more about those students who rate high scholastically? What does he do after classes? What are his clubs, and his other extra -curricula activities? In short, what does the colored student do at Butler? (And for your benefit we might add that we ary refen.ng to both the male and female student.) All these questions. my impatient reader, shall be answered in due time, for be-

ing a student at this university, w*believe that the life of the aver age college student is very interesting. (Or is that the word for it?) And this belief shall prompt us to bring to you each week, an account of the activities, scholastic and social, and religious activities, of the Butlerite. Should we strav to mentioning what certain alum ni, or people associated with people who go to Butler, or even people of the Northside in general who are interested in the people who are interested in people who go to Butler are doing, don’t hold it

against me, it’s all in a day’s work. This week, however, we shall not begin this column but rather let you wait in happy (?) anticipation until next week. If you want tc know who the ten smartest students at Butler were last semester; v/ho has been most actively engaged in inter racial relations; who was the most prominent football star and why : who met who in the Campus Club; and why so-and-so won't speak to so-and-so, and in short, who stole the ring from the bathtub.

RACIAL PERSECUTION ABHORRENT—F. D. R. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Strangely 1 analogous to the repression of Ne- ! groes by white Americans in some sections of the country, is the present condition of Jewry abroad | and the oppressive measures being adopted against Jews by Germany, Roumania, Austria, Following an interview last Saturday with President Roosevelt, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Zionist of international fame and president of the American Jewish Congress, said as he left the White House: “It is not necessary to secure from the President any reaffirmation of his own faith that persecution of racial and religious mino:ities is abhorrent to his own soul. He profoundly regrets the renewed oppression — political and economic — of Jewish populations in central and east3rn European lands, and indeed everywhere.”

NEW YORK, Feb. 3—(ANP)— Completion of a new American opera, with libretto by Langston Hughes, noted poet and playwright, and music by William Grant. Still, famous composer, Is < agerly awaited in New York music circles. “Troubled Island” is the intended name, j Hughes has based ihe story on I that of his own prose play. “Drums | of Haiti,” staged several times ; during 1936, which tells the brief I glory of Emperor Dessalines of | Haiti and his downfall. Some of j the poetry with which Hughes has ! embellished the plot is understood ; to be among the best he has ever written. The libretto was finished before he went to Madrid some i months ago. That part of the music already j composed by Still is considered fine and imaginative and promises to he one of his most effective works for the stage. He has created his own musical idiom using, on the whole ,a harmonic scheme different from any of his other compostfions.

Harold was only four and Fayard slightly older when they found they had danced their way back to the Lafayette Theatre in Har lem, the section from which they had come. It was while they were, perform ing on this stage that a scout for the Cotton Club caught their act and engaged them for a week's en gagement—the boys remained two

years. During the last live year the brothers have won acclaim for their nimble and'dynamic lancing in New York, Hollywood and London. They have appeared in th? picture, "The Big Broadcast of 1936,” and "Kid Millions,” with Eddie Cantor; were seen in the “Follies” last year, in the London pro duction of “The Blackbirds,” and most recently in the musical pro duction, “Babies in Arms." * * * This listiqg is in effect for the wee c Feb.
