NEGRO MUSIC FESTIVAL
IN ST. LOUIS, WITH HIS
BLUE TRUMPET
(Continued from page 1)
Schmaltz, ft was telling an old story,
chanting an old spell.
The smoke-moated light streamed
down hard, flat on the brown anti
green diamond. Soda bottles clinked
down concrete steps and vendors mov
ing through the stands shouted “It’s
gotta be cold! It's packed in ice! It’s
gotta be cold!” But you forgot it.
A million insects, more or less,
buzzed softly, and the echoes splatted
back from the circling reaches of
seats, but you forgot that, too, watch
ing this little man, seeming even
smaller because of his roundness,
sway a little with the music’s pulse.
He is 70, after falling off a sub
way platform, he no longer is able
to walk so well; he hardly can see.
But he is W. C. Handy, and he once
wrote a song that still paints pictur
es.
Penniless in 1893.
The cobblestoned levees of the
Mississippi at the foot of Market st.
where Handy, penniless, had to sleep
in 1893, was in the picture, and the
work song of the roustabouts.
The smoke-filled parlors of a hun
dred bordellos from New Orleans to
St. Louis, birthplaces of jazz, were
there, too, and Saturday nights on the
old St. aul, “shouts” in Memphis and
rent parties in Harlem.
Three hundred years of oppression,
discrimination, prejudice, as well, if
you listened closely, for that’s what
made the blues.

Some Clap, Shout.
There were 13,000 persons in the
Sportsman’s ark stands, by official
count, and everyone was out there
with Handy. A few started to clap
ryhmically as he set the slow wailing
beat, but they stepped. A few mark
ed his breaks with a shouted "Yeah,
man!" But most of them listened,
and swayed a little, and tapped their
feet, and knew that this was their
music, the music the Negro gave the
world.
They went wild when Noble Sisslc
and his orchestra picked up the tune,
set the joint jumping with a modern
arrangement of the timeless blues.
They whistled and stomped when Ed
ythe Williams riffed it with a hot
trumpet after dealing the riverfront
words to the lament. But their
hearts were with Handy, who wrote
better than he knew when he knocked
out his blues for cakes and coffee
money,
Handy WAS the Fifth Annual A
merican Negro Music Festival in its
first visit to St. Louis.
Started Late.
He wasn’t all of it, by any mean ,
Getting under way at 8:45 o’clock,
three-quarters o fan hour off sched
ule, it wound a music-packed way
until just a few minutes before mid
night.
There was Richard Bonclli, bari
tone of the Metropolitan Opera with
his rich, beautifully controlled voice,
lifting through Handel’s “Where Ere
You Are,” Alec Templeton's “Gifts”
and Verdi’s “Di-Provenza" from La
Traviata.
There w'ere the finalists of the fes
tval’s “search for talent”, Pauline
Winbus of Chicago, Gladys Keys of
Indianapolis, Gertrude Wilson of De
troit, all 17 years old, all suffering
from lack of training, yet all possess
ed of fine natural voices, especially
Miss Keys.
The Southernaires did four of their
remarkable quartet arrangements,
markng one with a remarkably con
trolled plea for an end to racial pre
judice and a pledge to unity. Muriel
Smith in the Hammerstein—trans
cribed Habanefa from Carmen, be
come “That’s Love,” showed why
Carmen Jones” is a roadway hit.
Fine Contralto.
Portia White, who should become
one of the greatest stars in the world
within a few years, displayed the fin
est natural contralto to hit the con
cert stage since Marian Anderson
Easily, effortlessly, richly she sang,
“My Heart, at Thy Sweet Voice,”
“Think of Me” and “One More Riv
er :o Cross.”
Lillian Evanti, her voice a little
past the prime but still remarkably
sweet, did several ariaa-frorn operas
she has sung in making herself the,
first lady of Negro opera.
There was even Don Ameche,
flown in from Hollywood, land of
tie, to make a few scattering remarks
on the general ideal of unity and the
need for an end to discrimination and
disharmony.
But most of all there was Handy,
more than a man, almost a legend.
And his trumpet licking up through
the night, singing its own slow song
of heartbreak :
Got the St. Louis blues, just
as blue as I can be, *,
'Cause that mans gat a heart
like a rock cast in the sea.
Or else he wouldn't gone so
far from me.

that these workers were proving sat-.

ter the war. Walter Hardin of De-j

while most automobile executives ad
mitted Negroes were good workers,.
they were slow in committing their.- j
selves to a policy of post-war em
ployment.
Leslie S. Perry, administrative as- •
sistant in the NAACP Washington
bureau, advised the conference that j
Negroes should defeat congressmen
of any party whose vote on vital soc- j
ial legislation and the so-called Negro
issues was not right. A congress

One of the interesting sidelights of
the conference was the presentation
of the Spingarn Medal to Dr. Chari

accomplishments in blood plasma. The
award was made by Dr. Ernest R.

pledged an anti-iynching law to safe
guard our lives against lynchers.
They pledged to do away with the
•:! tax limitation on voting. They
remised a permanent FF.PC to help
s get and kt‘’p jobs and they pledg
d to end discrimination in the arm
ed forces.
“When has Mr. White ever heard
of any party making more direct spec
if ic and important pledges?” asked
Randolph. "No party platform ever
has offered us so much. We who
took part in the convention are pleas
ed with what we were able to accom
plish and from the comment I heard
on my way home and since I reached
here, the Negro public is well pleased
also. ”
"But while general Negro comment
has been most favorable to the Negro
planks,” continued the Republican del-'
egate, "Waiter White and Drew Pear
son, daily paper columnist, have crit
icized our efforts.
"The Republican party made the
flat statement in its platform that:—
‘The payment of any poll tax
shonld not be a condition of voting in
feedral elections and we favor im
mediate submission of a constitution
al amendment for its abolition.’
“Mr. White and Mr. Pearson arg
| ue that this does not mean anything
I because there are sufficient poll tax
states to block the passage of such an
amendment. Let's look at the facts.
There are only eight poll tax states
and one of them, Tennessee, already
has tried to get riu of the undemocrat
ic levy on voters.
‘ There are 4S states in the union.
An amendment to the federal consti
tution requires ratification by two
thirds of them, or 32 states. Forty
states have no poll tax and it is logic
al to assume that thev would favor
amendment. They favor on a
mendment and already Republicans
senators in the present congress have
taken the first steps toward such an
amendment.”
“Surely,” Randolph continued, ‘the
great Walter White is not little e
nough to want his people saved 1ror
disfranchisement only if he makes
the plans. With only 8 poll tax stal
es, constitutional amendment seems
the short way of correcting the nat
ional suffrage scandal.”
Continuing his comments on Mr.
White’s criticism of the Republican
platform, Randolph said, “White also
belittles the Republican pledge for
an ai:ii-!yt'ching law. The Republic
