Calvacade
By Gypsy Payton
Thought for the week:—He is
a friend wHo, in dubious circum
stances, aids in deeds when deeds
are necessary.—Plautus.
Never let it be said that this
•writer was the only person in or
near Los Angeles who has not
aeon ‘Tiun Little Chillun’ ” which
has been the talk of the t> wn for
tha past six months. On Wednes
day nights of last week, I hied
■myself over to the Mayan Theatre
to see this gr«»at Federal attrac
tion. And was I impressed beyond
words with the clever acting, the
-cones and the soul-stirring. And
re. dily comprehended why it has
won acclaim for its appeal to per
sons of all classes, nati- ms, and
languages.
Many persons have seen it twice
and some as much as three or four
times The person responsible for
my playing truant from classes,*
a Hollywood high school teacher.
ha8 seen it five times—believe it,
o.' not.
This play has ar used the in
terest of the Los Angeles people
in he historical ability of the Ne
gro. It opened for three weeks,
was continually extended and
now has been extended for an in
definite length of iime. Three of
the players have been rewarded
with screen roles for their fine
portrayals.

HOW IT HAPPENED
“Kun Little ChilluH' ” is the
brain child of Hall Jehn,s©n na- 1
tionally famous choir leader, now
residing in Los Angeles. It was
p. feeling of altruism that promp
<ed Mr. Johv^on to write this
play. In 1932, many pers#ns in
Harlem attracted by the glamour
of his W,,*k and driven by pre
vailing lack of employment came
to rehearsals and asked for trials.
He divided them in groups under
older members of the choir. And
soon found himself with a choir
training school on his hands. T<,
defray expenses, he formed a male
sextet that appeared oiT the radio.
Ho purchased a book for self
instruction and taught himself to
play well enough at the end of
a year to play second violin in «
I, cal dance oichestra. At 20, he
had his first violin lesson at the
Hahn school of Music in Philadel
phia In 1909 he entered the theory
classes at the University of Penn
slyvania, and because of bis
knowledge learned through self
instruction completed a four years
course in a summer and a full
year.
A tall lanky man with light
brown skin, Mr. JohnS'Vi is a typi
cal artist in every sense of the
word. He is unassuming, modest
and nonchalant. His conservation
is incoherent—his mind so wrap
ped up in his word. His mode of
living is typical A La Greenwich
Vaillge. He resides in a bungalow
court which reminds one vaguely
,sf the artists’ conoly in New York.
As one approaches the court, mu
sic emanating from his cottage
catches one’s hear. Upon entering
one is reminded more of Green
wich Village. Evejji’ chair and
table is filled with music and
books. A chair is cleared for you
to sit upon. If y.*U ask for some
thing, he reaches over, and like
a magician who pulls a rabbit
out of his hat, puts his hands on
what you want Out of somewhere
or other, members of his choir,
appear. They aro just a jolly set
of typical artists. They regard
Mr. hnson as a colleague rather
than as a boss, they work with
rather than for him.
HIS NAME WILL GO DOWN
In addition to having his name
go down in posterity as choir di
rector, composer, and arranger,
the ch> fr for which Hall Johnson’s
will always be in the memory of
future generations will be his
“Run Little Chillun.’ ”
