The story was written in a manner that should satisfy the most rapid Pro-Race thinking anywhere in the county and was superior to any thing we’ve seen in print about Negro soldiers.

Other talented “Sweethearts” include Pauline Braddy, “Queen of the Drums,” and pretty Helen Saene, “Saxo phone Star.” First formed as an amateur dance band at the Piney Woods School, Piney Woods, Mississippi, this outstanding talented group was long jumps ahead of the aver age orchestra in discipline at the offset.
