The Confessions Of A Ham Singer BT CHARLES JACOB HARRIS (Continued from last week) Q GREAT ARTISTS (Continued) It was my pleasure to meet and hear the then famous tencn*, Sidney Woodward along about this time. Lillian Nordica had said some things of his singing which gave him a big boost in the music world. Sidney had a voice of adequate range and eloquent beauty. He was of ro bust constitution, a marvelous asset to any artist. There was a new satellite who moved into Atlanta about this time; Professor Broadnax, form er voice teacher at Tuskegee In stitute in Alabama. He had a vibrant baritone of rich quality. I have never heard a baritone who surpasses him in power. Titta Ruff a (the Italian bari tone) had a wider range, but no more potency. I heard Mr. Broadnax a few years ago, after a lapse of 30 or more years. He was then a mem ber of the Eva Jessye Choral group. To hear him sing “Hold On” with the choir was an all- moving and otherwise dynamic performance. I took voice culture from Professor Broadnax during the time I was in Atlanta. I am positive he must have said to himself, “What have I got here?" when I made such a feel^le effort at vocalizing. Once in a while he would let go with a voluminous tone in order to drown out the “sounds” with which I was crucifying him. It reminded me of a friend of mine in a vocal recital at Steinert Hall in Boston. This friend had a par- lor-sized voice, not one for the concert hall. While he sang, a woman in the audience said with a sigh, “If I could hear someone ‘holler’ Just once." Sad Experience Before leaving Atlanta, I had a few experiences which are pe culiar to most musicians. I directed a choral group for four months in one of the city’s churches. We gave two perform ances of the Cantata, “Ruth The Moabitess,” which we labored on for a long time. Musically, we had a flattering success, but financially, nothing to rouse the envy of a Croesus. I got exactly seventy-five cents for all that labor.

We prepared the cantata, .“Queen Esther” for the public, and gave two perform ances of It. The second appear ance came near being a calam ity for the tenor soloist did not show. The group said, “Harris, you must sing it.” Reluctantly, I took the part. I knew nothing of covered or dark tones. I sang open tones in every register of the voice. Kind readers, if you have ever heard “Esther,” you know the tenor sings the words, “Woe is me, for the devices of the wicked pros per." Woe, it was! I doubt any tenor has ever sung that parti cular number any more lament ably than I did that night in ’05. My days in Atlanta ended and my thoughts turned toward Bos ton. I was organist of Mount Olive Baptist Church. I was paid $8 a month for playing the organ at church services, and $1.50 a month for playing the piano in Sunday School. You may think this scant pay, but wait! Suspend judgment ‘til I record another incident. Be fore going to Atlanta, I had been organist of my church in Au gusta. My monthly stipend there was twenty-five cents a month. It happened altogether too often that when they attempted to raise this amount, they got no further -than 16 cents. I put away $60 for my cash on Boston. The amount should have been $85. A good ‘brother of the cloth’ borrowed $25 for; a rally in his church and never got a- round to refunding me. Hence, I consoled myself in the thought that it was bread cast upon mighty waters. (Continued next Week) NEW UUNDRY And DRY CLEANERS Qwdiiy • Service 405 Roxboro Street DIAL 6959 II H T.

McCoy, the col lege’s director of religious acti vities, in cooperation with an interdenominational advisory committee. Those attending the advisory committee meeting were: Rev. M. P.

Whon Biggor is Not Bottar “It’s a boy!” (or girl, as the case may be) —“seven pounds, thrM ounces.” That’s the way babies are usually announced. Weight is given even mora im^rtance than the child’a nama. And then, as tha months go by, the proud parents boast of each new pound gained, and enjoy hearing visitors exclaim “My, how ha has grown!” A Paitlbl* HuMi Problem Everyone lovea a fat, cuddly baby. Everyone, that is, except the pediatricians who are concerned with infant health. Many of these specialists believa that parents often tend to over-feed their babies in their mistaken belief that a- fat babyla neeesBariiy • healthy baby. This has worried soma doctors so seriously that it waa discussed at a recent Conference on Fnt Metabo lism held at tha Johns Hopkins Hospital under tha aponsorship of M & R Laboratories, manufacturer of infant fooda. IlMiioas for failar Walglil Oala Children actually gain weight much faster today then they used to. Dr. Harry A. Gordon, Associate Professor of Pediatrica at Johna Hopkins Medical School stated at the Conference. In six months, many infanta weigh three times aa much as when they were tiom. The rule used to ba that a baby should take a year to triple its weight. Of course, soma infanta appear to ba naturally heafy eaters, but there are other reasons for this increased growth rate. Many mothers today tend to feed the baby whenever ha expresses hunger —^ or, rather, whenever she thinkt ha is express* ing hunger. And then there is tha present-day tendency to start in fants on solid foods at toe early an age. Orow ratter, laam SlawarT “Park-i>ench padiatrioians”—Dr. Gordon’s term for non-medical ad visers on baby car* — often ioI amnly pronounce that it’s a sign oi intelligence if a baby can take in large amounts of food. Possibly this notion comes from the idea that if A baby can eat solid, "adult” foods At an early age, he must be maturing rapidly. In actaal fact, phyaicians have found that A fat baby will be slower than other infants in learning to crawl, walk and sit. Thia has led some pedi atricians to be wary of too rapid weight gains. "Bigger is not better,” -is Dr. Gordon’s conclusion. Being over weight is no health asset for a child or adult. A fat baby may be cute, but habits of overeating developed in infancy are apt to carry over into QUeHifa. Then, excess weight ia no l6Mer \"cute,” but apt to 1m a phyUcAf^bw^en And social handicap.
