Cab Calloway at Tomlinson Hall Sunday, March 23
LOU SWARZ Jottings... NEW YORK CITY—Today this column ucknowledgts two Artists from the Mid-Wes whose Broadway Recitals brought most favorable Reviews . . and receptive audb nces' response . . . on?, our own Jennie Rowland from the ‘-ShoMe" city: and the other - Theodore Charles Stone from the Windy City. . . Appearing at Town Hall on Saturday afternoon before an audience of music lovers Miss Rowland gave a program which will long be remembered. . . not only because it was her Debut Recital, but because sh * sang her w’ay into the hearts of her listeners with that b autiful contralto voice which has been ailed “a voice of phenomenal beauty" . . Gowned in an exquisite black marquisette, the artist was a true picture of beauty as well. . . . Her program included songs hy Scarlatti, Torelli. Gluck. Schubert,
Faure, Verdi, La Forge, Kurstiner, Spross, ajid Spirituals arranged by J. R. Johnson, Hall Johnson, H. T. Burleigh, and E. Boatner. Each group of songs was presented with ease, and in the full resonant voice which we know Jennie to have. Throughout her program she was gracious in answering what we all enjoy—curtain calls. . . and “Danny Boy" was among her encore numb rs. . . Her accompanist for the Town Hall Debut was Arpad Sandor who has accompanied Dorothy Maynor. And now, St. Louis can take its hat off to another who has been r ceived most favorable by Broadway—NYC. . . * * • The second artist to have a Broadway Debut — Theodore Charles Stone, Baritone from Chicago sang for a group of music lov< rs on Sunday evening at Times Ha l, and proved himself ready for th? occasion. . . His program included airs by Lully, Purcell and Handel, German lied r by Schu bert, songs by Church, Grecthaninoff. and a Group of Spirituals. . . . Carl R. Diton was his accompanist. . . . Stone’s interpretation, diction, and full resonant voice were indeed noted by those who heard him. . . . So, we might easily add the other — to the list of artists (Theodore Charles Stone) well on the way to success. . .
Hi De Hi, Ho De Ho Jive Man All Set for Lively Session Sunday
In speaking of tributes, from all that’s being heard one is in order for the Cafe Sup rior in Newark, New r Jersey, where even Operatic Singers can make the Patrons happy. . . J. M. G. Fay seems well on the road to having Cafe Superior’s Talent line filled with the best singers available when he placed Rose Palmer. Brooklyn diva of the Opera set, there and those who heard her were thri’led. . . Soon Betty Voorhees, William Davis-
Tenor, and Mary Love another Classical Singer will be on the Cafe Sup rior Bill — Might easily congratu ate A1 Graham, owner of the swank spot for desiring to put his Club on a par with other exj elusive elite spots elsewhere. . .. | That little seven-year-old wizard of ths ivories - Miriam Duquesnay [ is scoring wherever she appears. *. . . Only rtcently she thrilled an audience at the New Idea Hall. . . 1 * * * Larry Steel is busy with his new I show at th^ newest Harlem spot , —up on 145th Street. . . Nick La j Tour is headlining a Vocalists in I jazz program to be presented at I the Club Cobra in Brooklyn. . . . Mona and her Group of Afro Cuban Rhythm Boys are wowing ’em at the Howard in D. C. . . just as | Wazira Shoaregued and her Group did at the Hamilton last Tuesday night. . . , The New Zanzibar is featuring I those MiTs Brothers along with other top names. . . Must mention Gus Ivory of Flash magazine who was in NYC last week setting up his Eastern Branch. . . Time says —sign off, so it’s still Lou (Hotel Theresa) Swarz. . .

CAB CALLOWAY and his Hi De Ho dance orchestra will give out with those jive numbers Sunday nite, March 23 at Tomlinson Hall. This will mark the first time the
great Calloway has shown his. jive talents here in many moons and a capacity crowd is expected. Advance tickets are now on sale. Make table reservations at the Sunset Cafe.
Of the hundreds of songs Cab Calloway has made popular, music and dance fans will always identify him with the first lady of his theatrical life, “Minnie the Moocher." Calloway, who comes to Tomlinson Hall Sunday nite, March 23, has made ’■Minnie” one of the most famous girls in the world. Record sales r; ports prove that ‘*Minnifc/’ is truly international in scope. Calloway’s recordings of Minnie’s activities have sold widely in such remote places as Bangkok, Sydm y, Shanghai, London, Paris, etc. Minnie was born one night in New York’s famous Cotton Club. Calloway had just open d there and was an overnight sensation. Shor ly afterward, Cab and his manager, Irving Mills sat down to discuss a song which could become permanently identified with Cab’s distinctive stvJ-* of singing. After a fruitless search for a composer, the two sat down early one morning wh< n the Cotton Club had emptied, and with Cab at the piano, banging out the notes with one finger, "Minnie the Moocher” was cradled in the murky atmospher > of a night club. Other songs featured by Cab are: i “Are You All Reet”, “Kickin’ the Gong Around”, “St. Louis Blues’’, “You Rascal You", I Got a Right to Sing ’he Blu* s" and many others. Advance tickets are now on sale in your neighborhood. I
