Lawhorn Recital .
Draws Praise
The Catholic Youth Center, St.
Paul, was filled to capacity last
Thursday night; the audience
thrilled with the performance of
Geraldine Lawhorn, famed blind
and deaf dramatic reader, in a re
cital sponsored by the Credjafawn
Club.
The program was considered by
some “the most unusual and en
joyable because of its rareness ever
presented in the Twin Cities.” We
Music Lovers, written by Miss Law
horn; the 121 Psalm and Christ, My
Refuge by Mary Baker G. Eddy
were most noteworthy of her read
ings. The “Juba Dance,” a piano
solo, added to the phenomenal
achievements of this 24-year-old
girl who was robbed by illness of
her hearing and sight, early in
childhood.
Miss Lawhorn, whose dog, Blon
die, was trained in the Twin Cities,
attracted the attention of national
ly known musicians when she ap
peared on the USO Swing Parade
Concert Program last Sunday af
ternoon at the Nicollet Hotel, Min
neapolis. Glenn Gray, Fats Waller,
the Military Band from the Naval
Base at World Chamberlain Field,
and Ozie Dial were among the par
ticipants.
Other Twin City public appear
ances were made by the artist on
the Darragh Aldrich program over
radio station WCCO November 5;
Rev. E. Randall’s Church of the Air
on WLOL Sunday morning; the
Country Church at Hopkins, Minn.,
Sunday morning; radio station
WTCN November 5. She visited
Cab Calloway and his company at
the Orpheum theatre, stayed
through and enjoyed an entire per
formance.
Mrs. Michael D. Himmelman, ac
tive in Minneapolis civic affairs,
made the initial contact responsible
for the public appearances of Miss
Lawhorn.
Patrons at the recital were:
Messrs, and Mmes. J. W. Crump,
S. E. Ware, Earl S. Weber, D. M.

NAACP Scores
DAR Stand On
Anderson Concert
Washington, D. C.—Scoring the
DAR for its lack of courage and
Americanism displayed by its re
fusal to accept the “very modest
conditions Miss Anderson in self
respect established for the accept
ance of the DAR’s invitation that
she sing a benefit concert in Con
stitution Hall” the NAACP this
week told the President General
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution:
“Americans would have respected
the D.A.R. more, even though they
might not have agreed with the
D.A.R.’s decision to reject Miss
Anderson’s terms, had the D.A.R.
not made the casuist and ridiculous
excuse that other artists invited to
sing in the series had not imposed l
any conditions.
“There is no analogy in that, as
far as we are able to learn, all of
the other artists who were invited
are white, and there has been no
ban on the appearance of white ar
tists whether they be Americans
or foreign born. Only Negro artists
have been banned by the DJL.R.
from use of Constitution Hall.
“It is very certain that the
D.A.R. and not Miss Anderson will
suffer in public esteem by this de
cision of the D.A.R. at a time when
the democratic process itself is in
peril.”
Detroiters Picket
Manpower Comm,
for Woman Job Bar
Detroit, Mich. Belittling the
Detroit NAACP’S claim that the
fact that less than three per cent
of the women employed here in
war industries are Negroes as evi
dence of discrimination Mayor
Jeffries refused this week to issue
any statement against the anti-
Negro policies of local war plants.
The conference with the Mayor
took place while a picket line of
150 encircled the Boulevard build
ing which houses the War Produc
tion Board and the War Manpower
Commission. Regional director
Cushman of the WMC informed an
NAACP committee that making of
policy and the forcing of the em
ployment of Negroes was not with
in the power of regional heads.
The Detroit branch has declared
its disapproval of the appointment
of a former discriminating person
nel manager of U. S. Rubber Com
pany as new regional head of the
War Manpower Commission in this
area.
