PAOX EIGHT THE CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, MAY 6th, 1950 HOME BOY^S REPORT FROM HOME BY LIN HOLLOWAY Norfley Whitted. DurliHin’s Dean of Joiks, played a number reeoriletl by a kn'al artist that may hit tlie top rungs in sales on his slu»w Tnesilay A. M. The tnnf “Hull t ity Boogie. " ia the brain-‘hild of pianist lonuny Xlunford iuhI Ti'fts recorded in t'harlotte recently on a ( apitol label, Ther«’s a story behind Munford’s waxing. The gang ling, playful youth hadn’t the slightest idea what he’d record, nor who he’d record withj until he was closeted in a recording studio with five young white musicians and told “Play.” — And play he did, with “Bull City Boogie” being the result. Munford is tentatively sched uled for another Capitol recording date during June. L1TT1-*E ESTHER, the 14-year-old siiifrer who is to ap- p«ar %\>th all-star sliow at the local Armory Sat-day nite, had ’em dancintf in tlv^ aisles at the Apollo tiieater durin(? lier n-cent week stand then-. Fans had been sayiiiR that the bhies- belk>winp younfrster “sounded like Dinah Washinffton, but Ajwllo Theater theater owner Frank Seiiiffman had them eatinp their words Avhen he pres‘nted Little KHther and Dinah on the same eard for the Saturday midiiite show from the Apollo stage. Because of her ii^^e, Esther was prevented from nmkinp the la.st show, fuul Dinah subbed. The fans went home with the opinion that Little Esther is in a class all her own— and ditto Dinah. ■ u a And Redd Lyte, singer with the Johnny Otis band, showed himself to be one of the most versatile lyric-lasso- crs in the business, whether he*s doing his singing from an upright position or from and upside down one. You read that right — Lyte stands on his head, does con tortions, or might even jump off the the stage while sing ing about the “gal that done him wrong.” LOCAL BAND GREATEST It’s high time that local citizens woke up to the fact that in the Hillside HipH School band they have one thp trreat- est high school bands in the country. I’hilmore Shoi^y Hall is to be complimented for the wonderful work he has done since taking over the band frotn the busy liands of ex director W. H. (Lanky) Cole. Prof. Hall, who taught Be Bop King Dizzie Gillespie tlie A, B, C-s of music while band master at Jjaurinburg Institute, is still the man most revered by the Great Diz. who told this writer in a hit-and-run con fab recently “Prof. Hall is gone, ilan. Coming from Dizzy, that's the greatest compliment a man can receive. A new rash of musicians has broken out on the local scene with young Bernard Tate being about the best bet in the lot. Young, talented and full of rhythm, Tate car ries on back of the tubs in the manner that made Joe Jones (formerly of the Basie group) one of the best drum mers in the bizz-ness. NOO YAWK NOTES That classy lassie in town last week-end was Kicky Ijee (Ijeaster Luster) who worked with ye .scribe on his last Xoo Yawk show. -Mi.ss Luster was visiting relatives on Glenn Street. And the former iliss Johnnie Mae Williams is still in town vacationing froni her Seventlv Avenue dry cleaning busi ness. Charles Steele, who made friends and maybe a fortune ~ as the genial manager of.the Florsheim shoe store at 125th Street and Eighth Avenue, is planning to open a business here. Here’s hoping it’s shoes. A milestone in thle history of Durham was marked last week when the Ea.st End Park was dedicated in impressive cere monies last Sat-day. The actual dedication was a feather in the caps of Ellis Jones, William Cooke and the many many other citizens and busine.s.smen of that section who for years have been attempting to “sell” the North Durham-East End area as one of th& best residential sections in Durham. Is the new hliir style here on the Mary Martin “South Pacific” kick or is it “natural”?? The Calvacade of Talent being projected by a committee working with the CAIIOLIXA TiSlES Scholarship fund is scheduled to be the greatest event staged in Durham in many a moon. Already members of the calvacade committee have begun to lay foundation for a maiiterful presentation. And like the rain said when it fell in the dust “That settles it.” I Bethune— Aggies— (Continued from Page Four) first inning sending fifteen men to bat and scoring ten runs. Smith wais the big gun for the Aggies against the Bears. He drove in three runs with a smashing triple. Brown li^mered for Shaw with the bases empty.

The equality that the iN'egro is entitled to is the equal ity of opportunity. How high he will reachl given the same level to stand on, is something else. Some will reach high; st»me will grovel in the dirt. It has been so with othera, and it will be so with him.
