tomorrow. Mr. Whalen and his World's Fair committee have no "say" of what or vrho will be em­ployed in the sub-projects — other than set a precedent of su­periority, magnificence and elo­quence in keeping with the scheme of things - in an intellectual and superlative manner.

If your country, state, city or town has an exhibition at the Fair or if you know of any concern, group or organization or people who have space at the Fair, it is up to them and their personal dis­cretion to decide who will be em­ployed there, or who will get the jobs in their particular sphere at the World's Fair. The Federal Government and the State of New York and probably your state or city-h*s likewise a btritdtug at .he Fair •- and it is under the man­agement of an especially designed committee. They are the people who do the hiring for positions.

Harlem today is just as whole-somt and law-abiding as ever be­fore, all that is needed is a fair chante. Its good name is beyond reproach. The present economic conditions must be ameliorated..

It is deplored that so much un­usual publicity has been given by the local press of the terrible un­timely situation. WORLDS FAIR STUFF

Bill A^ The Apollo The Apollo Theatre will present a

three-in-one revue on its stage next week as a gala preEaster at­traction. Teddy Hill and hia NBC Band, the Three Dandridge Sisters, stars of the recent Cotton Club Pa­rade, and Tip Tap and Toe, danc­ing aces, constitute the three at­tractions.

the various departments according to their requirements in manage­ment, supervision, architecture, de­sign and numerous branches of ar­tistry. They too have the power to place certain competents who are needed in their program. These places have long been filled m order of the progress of the Fair.

MY ADVICE: Get in touch with yonf Senator, Congressman, or Mayor and have them direct you fo the official in whose charge the World's Fair program has been placed and then apply to them.

This is the version of a news­paperman who has-had consider­able ccnsultition wi'h the World's Fair committee*. If i m wrong I'll gladly rectify same* in this col­umn, t VETERAN HABLEMITE

The first time I came to Har­lem, there; were only a dozen col­ored families rn the sector (1906); I say that to say this: I think I know my Harlem. All this crime stuff that is supposed to be cur­rent here is a myth. It is true that Harlem is undergoing a heart­rending depression, that is sot o-ily prevalent here but in all cit-J» -- especially where there is a arge colored population. The :olored brother is the last one hired and the first one fired. Ev­er? city in the United States has «"*P̂ i#nced * t t hardship. Now New Wk h menanced by the European minorities and refugees that make things wnne;, still. . -

It is natural that the economic *tatus of a people usually governs their normal conditions? and crime a the fore-runner of the Mltc i and the outcome.

When the Irish invasion came to New York in the leWs they *ere the underdog and were placed •n the same status of the Negro but they have partially outlived it. Destitution, disease,; crime and whatnot were rampant. This is 'Jnder similar circumstances. * • predicament of all peoples

"Swing Mikado", Swing By BILLY KINO

Dusky fantastic rhythm repre­sents Gilbert and Sullivan's oper etta, down on Broadway, where colored constitutents loom highly potent.

"To be or not to be" is the question, that is, whether two dif­ferent colored shows, each repre­senting "Mikado," can endure such rivalry? Whether the Federal The-arfre's "Swing Mikado" will leid on singing and swinging the musi­cal opera, or will Bill Robinson, in "Hot Mikado" be able to over­take them on feet?

An advance sale of $3,500 at $1.10 top for "Swing Mikado's opening in 54th street cannot go unnoticed. It makes a high target for "Hot Mikado," at the Broad-hurst, to shoot at, with $3.30 guns.

Many people know so little about the possible effect of these things that we disagree as to which is preferable, the "Swing Mikadi" with South Sea Island singers and dancers, or "Hot Mikado"' with Harlem's plan to convey the sterr of the miniature opera with danc­ing feet. The former may be hirb-tv enjoyed with eyes closed, for dress is quite unimportant to th» Wanders? Wlule the latter displavn elaborate scenes and costumes. And both companies deliberately disre­garded talented Negro musicians. They employed whiten.

Colored actors ia New York and elsewhere should return sincere thanks to Harry Minturn, producer of the Federal "Swing Mikado." for making a place for them in the theatre in these times. It is hia belief that the Negro actor is cap­able of doing much more than just merely "walk-on-and.off" the stage in mob scenes. Not only are "Swing Mikado" and also "Hot Mikado" from hk effort*, but there are some vaudeville units prepar­ing to troupe with prefixes to "Mi­kado," and the "Mikado" may reach the sight spate.

When Nsrsr York producers tried persistently to purchase the orig­inal "Swing Mikado" show from the Chicago Federal Theatre for New York, "Uncle Sam" cried No! Mikado being a Federal pro. joefc-r-it belongs to the American people, but if New York desires to see the show,, the Government will send it there. And the Govern­ment did just'that.

Only the theatre-going public tells the better shows. Watch them.

Negr o Actors Prominent In Four Federal Theatre Hits of Season

The Mwalimu Festival, conducted by Manet Harrison Fowler, will present a program of African i sic, drawn from many sources sung in diverse languages^ and lects, at Town Hall ning, March 31.

Manet Harrison Fowler, a native of Fort Worth, Texas, is the found­er of the Mwalimu School for the development of African music and creative art in New York City. It was organized six years ago, made its New York debut at Steinway Hall in March, 1934.

Mrs. Fowler was born Manet Har­rison, was graduated nom Tuskegee Institute in 1913, returned to her na­tive state to teach music and art in the public schools. Later she studied painting at the Chicago Art Institute.

After her marriage to Stephen Hamilton Fowler, a teacher in the Fort Worth Public Schools for sev­enteen years, Mrs. Fowler continued her musical studies at the Chicago Musical College, returning to Fort Worth to become supervisor of music in the colored schoors. She became deeply interested in Negro music, or­ganized choruses and pageants, and in 1924 founded the Texas Associa­tion of Negro Musicians. For some years she continued teaching, gave concerts, and eventually established the nucleus of a school to be named "Mwalimu" or "The Teacher."

In 1932, after her daughter had come to New York to study journal­ism, Mrs. Fowler started her school here, first in the Bronx, later in its present Harlem headquarters, at 76 Edgecombe avenue. Mrs. Fowler is­sued a call for singers who, if they passed auditions, would receive free tuition and become part of a large chorus trained to give professional concerts of African folk music, Spir­ituals, and compositions of Negro composers.

The Mwalimu Festival Chorus is a "model group" of the Mwalimu School During the current season the Mwalimu School curriculum includes an "African Education" series—with courses utilizing African and Negro data in the teaching of a "socially utility arithmetic, reading, writing and spelling--for students whose for-

The WPA Federal Theatre Proj­ect's 1939 season seems almost to have been planned especially for the Negro actor, for out of its five cm-rent productions Negro actors appear in all but one—"Awake and Sing," which is done in Yiddish.

"Androcles and the Lion," now in its fourth month at tne Latayette Theatre in Harlem, is an all-Negro production witfi a cast of 75. The Shavian drama probably has the larg­est number of outstanding Negro ac­tors ever to be assembled in any one Federal Theatre production. Edna Thomas, who played Lady Macbeth in the VVPA's sensational "Macbeth" three seasons ago. portrays the role of Lavinia. Daniel Haynes, well-known stage, radio and screen artist, plays Ferrovius, Arthur Wilson, a popular Negro actor since 1915, por­trays the meek, animal-loving An­drocles. His wife, Megaera, is play­ed by Hilda Orfley, an onginal mem­ber of the famous Lafayette Players. Thomas Moseley, acclaimed one of the best character actors on the Ameri­can stage, takes the part of a Cen­turion. Other well-known names among this large cast are Lionel Monagas. Percy Verwayne, Add Bates, Marie Young, Anita Bush, J. Louis Johnson, Frances Smith, War-dell Saunders and Walter Robinson.

"Big Blow" at the Maxine Elliott Theatre employs only one Negro ac­tor. Doe Doe Green, who plays the part of Clay. During the six-month* run of "Big Blow" Green's perform­ances have been witnessed by more than 87,1)00 personi. Broadway will remember Doe Doe Green as Gabriel on "The Green Pastures-

Twelve Negro actors are appear

Theatre Project's "Pinocchio" at the Ritz Theatre. Four of these are the popular team of Archie Savage, Fred­die Gibson, Arnold Wiley and Ollie Simmons. Four more make up the Calliope Quartet—Ralph Northern, loseph Northern, lames Reilly and Herbert Brown. Sherman Dirkson and Waddel Thompson are in the Philharmonic Orchestra. The remain­ing, two are Rita Christian!, who plays the part of a S^'D F'fwe-head, and Francina Scott, a hegger woman.

The Federal Theatre's Chicago production of "The Swing Mikado" at the New Yorker Theatre employs approximately 110 Negro actors. Since its New York opening on March 1st, it has played to more than 24,000 persons.

In.addition, 42 Negro actors are now rehearsing in the WPA Fed­eral Theatre Project's forthcoming production of "Sing for Your Sup­per", a musical revue scheduled for the Addphi Theatre.

mal education had been previously limited." The African language se­lected for study was Kru, and was taught by Thorgues Sie. of Liberia. Voice, piano, and writing (for pleas­ure and for profit) courses are of­fered, as are French and German conversation, and body-building and* technique. Free "Culture Classes" are held for neigborhood children, and the classes in Mental Hygiene and Comparative Religions are conducted through Family Forums, whose pur­pose is to help individual families, as individual members and as a unit, resolve their culture patterns and market their often latent talents.

In the building at 76 Edgecombe avenue, New York, there is a health kitchen, also a small library of books by and about people of African de­scent, in which is centered the Charles E. Mitchell Memorial Exhib­it, placed, at the school in honor of the former minister to Liberia by his wife, Elizabeth M. Mitchell, for­merly a teacher of piano and Afri­can folklore at Mwalimu. The exnib-it is 0fle of the teatures of the school quarters; it. is most extensive, and is composed of striking examples of the wood-carvings, sculpture, brass and clay work, with weavings, and tapestries, of the Via, Kru, Kpellc, and Grebo Liberian natives.

The program of the school is de­signed lor "Self Help", and upon the celebration of the Tenth Anni­versary in 1938, the first public cam­paign was announced: to endow the professorships, to help build the in­dustries which may be established during the process of the develop­ment of African art in America; and for maintenance of quarters for the model project—was announced. It is the plan of Mrs. Fowler to achieve the goal through "Sponsored Con­certs" (not begging!) given by the Mwalimu Festival Chorus, the first of which will be presented in the New York Town Hall on March 31. These concerts will offer opportunity for all to hear, and to pay for the admission ticket in proportion to financial abili­ty and appreciation of the work. A smail African orchestra will accom­pany the chorus, with instruments made by Africans in New York and abroad.
