■white schools?’ "Mr. Wesley also
aa^s the question as to whether
we believe ‘it is easier to force
Texas to admit Negroes into cur.
reent white sohools than it is to
fight and force them to equalize
the separate schools? the answer
is apprently ‘No’. However, when
you realize that Negroes have
been fighting for equality in sep
arate school for mere than eighty
years and have not obtained a
semblance of equality, a question
as to which is the easier method
is not the question before us, and
I have little faith in opportunists
who look for the easy way out.
There is no easy answer to seg
regation and discrimination. We
have to decide whether we want
separate schools or the end of seg
regation.
"It should be pointed out that
the NAACP and its legal staff
can 'moVes no faster than the
poeple themselves and no suits
are filed until after we have been
requested to do so by the aggriev
ed parties. Perhaps one of the
reasons more action has not been
taken in educational cases in Tex
as has been that the NAACP has
not been requested to act in more
caess.
“Mr. Wesley then asks the ques
tion: ‘Isn’t it true that separation
in the South is used primarily to
discriminate against Negroes?’ I
did’nt know that was a question
anymore in anyone# mind. The
reason that we are fighting again
segregation is because segregation
and discrimination are so tied up
together that you can’t tell one
from the other.
"And hen Mr. Wesley asks the
question as to whether or not we
could not proceed by enforcing
the Constitution of the southern
states instead «f proceeding un
der the Un‘ted States Constitu
tion. The answer to this is that
the record will show that on the
one hand, nothing is gained under
the Constitution of southern states
and that of the legal benefits
we have obtained for Negroes in
the South have been through the
use of the Federal Constitution.-’

Archie Lewis Leading
Singefr* of England
CHICAGO—Most popular male
vocalist in the British Empire is
Archie Lewis, young Negro from
Kingston, Jamaica, featured in
October Ebony as the Bing Cros
by of Britain who is solist with
a top-notch whie band and star
of a weekly BBC radio network
hookup.
Lewis is 28 years eld and the
only Negro member of a BBC
mixedquartet, the Ebony feature
says, well-liked by radio audi
ences as well as by the white
male and female singers in the
combination. Engaged ti a boy
hood sweetheart in Jamaica, he
has made 14 recordings that are
currently leading the hit parade
in England and in the West Indies
The crooner dislikes his “Bing
Crosby of Britain ’ title which ad
I miring fans of all races have
given him because of his style
that closely resembles that of ,
“The Groaner.” And he is now |
embarking on a campaign to
make a name on his own. How
ever, the Ebony story reveals that
his recording of a Bing Crisby
favorite “The Bells Of St. Mary’s’
has reached the accepted high in
England.
i
Lewis came to England as an
unskilled war worker in 1940. In
j eluded in factory broadcasts be
cause of his rich voice, Geraldo,
a white orchestra leader signed
Archie up as vocalist with his
band and the singing Jamaican
has climbed continually higher
ever since. His plans for this fall
include a trip to the U. S. in an 1
effort to land broadcast work
| here.

ESQIRE ROFILES DIZZY
GILLESPIE AND HIS BEPOP
Although many had a hand in ’
Its origin, the person generally
credited to be the father of the
modem bebop is Dizzy Gillespie,
profiled in the October Esquirej
article, The Diz and the Bebop,'
and pictured in a full-color photo. ■
graph, aptly titled, Bobba Doddle!
Dee Bebop.
Dizzy’s bebop is another leg in
the long journey from the New
Orleans folk music called jazz.
Jazz, like any other music worthy t
of the name, changes with the
impact of new personalities, new
ideas. Its mutations tend toward
an intellectual and finished form
as opposed to the sensuous ap
peal of the more primitiVg jazz.
"Bebop has had a greater effect
on musicians than any jazz inno
vation since Kid Ory decided to
leave the tail gate open and ex
ercise his elbow more.’*
Gillespie, delcares the Esquire
piece, is the outstanding exponent
of this bebop form. As ‘‘leader of
this new Revolution,” he ‘‘holds
in his hands a shiny trumpet—in
stead of a bomb—and the Revo
lution is largely what conies out
of that trumpet, ” for th# Diz i
plays the trumpet like nobody
ever played before.
Born John Birks Gillespie, the
Negro boy hails from Cheraw, i
South Carolina. His father was
a brick-mason, who, as a hooby,
had a band of his own. He owned
the instruments and kept them
around the house. Dizzy grew up
surroanded by piano, guitar and
bass fiddle—but no trumpet. He
started off on the piano but learn
ed trumpet on a borrowed instru
ment. Just twelve short years ago
he played his first big-time en
gagement with Charlie Shavers.
By the time the Diz was four
teen, hg was fronting his own
high-school combi. He played brief
stints with Calloway. Ellington,
Barnett, Hines and Elia Fitz
gerald. and at nineteen became
the rage of England and France,
which he toured with Teddy Hill's
band. After returning to this coun
try he realized that fhere was
much more in music than the
people were getting, he develop
ed his bebop style in a Harlem
club called Minton's Little by
little bebop became a national fad j
and madg a name for itself and
its chief exponent. j
Although today Dizzy Gillespie |
has been elevated to a place be- j
side Bunk Johnson and Arm
strong, selling bebop to the public
has been a rather rough proposi
tion. As late as July, 1946, recalls
the October Esquire article. Gill,
espielaid an egg inf Detroit. But
in that same city last February
they had to call out the police
and fire brigades to control the
I crowds assaulting the theater to
’ buy tickets to hear The Diz And
The Bebop.

Sepia...
Hollywood
By Vin Archer
Now that “Sepia Cinderella’’ has
made its formal debut at khe New
York Apollo Theatre, the boys up
at Herald Pictures can wipe that
worried look off their faces. For
a time when "Cinderella’’ was be
ing filmed, it looked like the piq£.
ure would never be complete. A.
side from the usual headaches
that come during a film produc.
tion, Sheila Guyse. who is Cind
erella herself, announced that
she was "expecting”. Married to
the noted Shelby Miller, Sheila
had kept the maternal news quiet.
So Jack Goldberg, prexy of Her
aid Pictures, grabbed the scrip,
writers and directors and worekd
up an emergency 'rush-order’
soript—in fact the "Sepia Cind
erella" set looked like the night
shift at Lockeed for a while—so,
now. "Cinderella" has been assur
ed of a long successful run, and
the Shelby Millers and baby Shei
la Ann, who is blissfully una
ware of her role in the film, are
taking it easy at their Brooklyn
home.
Ella Fitzgerald, whose new disc,

to wish her newdisc success_A
handsome man taok her hand and
said. “Miss Fitzgerald, the people
in my office wish you the best af
luck. We hope your record makes
lots and lots of money.”
Ella turned to a friend and ask
ed, “Who was that very nice man?
“That Ella”, her friend gulped,

1 WINGS OVER JORDAN CHOIR
TOURING THE COUNTRY
NEW YORK—-Wings Over Jor
dan, the world's greatest Negro
choir, continuing on its present
tour of the country, is thrilling
Texas audiences. When it returns
to Dallas on Sept. 22, it will be
singing a concert in the city
which contributed one of the
greatest triumphs of the career
of the celebrated choral ensemble.
Last year, the huge audience at
Fair Park Auditqrium included
the largest white audience ever to
attend a similar event in Dallas.
The date was without local spon
sorship and had the support of
the various denominational and
racial churches and organizations.
Rev. Glynn T. Settle, originator
and director of Wings Over Jor
dan. will continue to give the
weekly itinerary of the choir
every Sunday during the coast-to
coast radio network broadcast
over the facilities of the Columbia
Broadcasting System at 11:45a.m.
Eastern Daylight Saving Time.
Wings Over Jordan will play a
series of dates throughout the
mid-west at he conclusion of the
Texas tour. However, they will re
turn to Texas in November to ap.
Pear in o special concert with the
San Symphony Orchestra.
The vitality and spontaneity of
the choir, which has recently
been more obvious to radio and
concert audiences, is not without
reason. Several of the original
membsre of the choir, including
the very popular Oilve Thompson,
have recently been returned to
the organization.
