Life of Concert Pianist Hazel Scott
Reveals Long Musical Career
I Hazel Scott, whose piano pro
gram will ha heard Apr. HH in Me
Arthur Court under the auspices
of the .Student Union Board, was
born on the Inland of Trinidad, the
Caribbean inland of legend which
contributes so inany patterns to
her original and imaginative com
positions.
Hazel Scott spent her fourth
birthday aboard the small vessel
carrying her and her mother to
the United States. Her mother,
Alma Scott, was a gifted musician
who could play the piano, clarinet,
and alto and tenor saxophone, and
shortly afler their arrival here she
organized a gills’ band which she
called "American Crcolians.”
As a child. Miss Scott traveled
all over the country with her
mother's orchestra and had her
first piano lessons on a hundred
different pianos in as many cities.
She developed a facility for the
classics und at the age of eight was
offered a scholarship for her per
forma net; of I lie Rachmaninoff
‘Prelude in C Sharp Minor." When
nhr w.lk 12 rfhe became a full-f (edg
'd salaried member of her mother's
'American Creolians."
Wiule working her way through
high action], she joined the band
whenever there wan an opportun
ity* Then one day in 1936, while
;lie was still in high school, she
walked into the offices of the
Mutual Broadcasting System
wimeone iiad dared her to make a
radio audition. There were 97 other
aspirants, hut Hazel Srott made
Lhe grade, winning a contract for
dx months of sustaining pro
grams. Jt was during this period
that she obtained her first job in 1
i night club.
During her series with Mutual. '
Miss Scott would select classical
numbers and play them straight,
nut gradually she found herself in- >
Conducing II n u ;s u a 1 rhythmic !
Lunches into the music. The radio
listeners seemed to like it and the
fan mail arrived like a tidal wave.
Hazel ficott is also a vocalist.
Her fringing voice was brought to
the public attention in the Broad
way revue, ".Sing Out the News."
But the keyboard has always come
first with her.
The turning point in Miss Scott's
career came when Barney Joseph
son, New York showman, booked
her for hi.s Cafe Society Downtown,
a smart New York night club. A
year later he opened Cafe Society
Uptown as a showcase for the ris
ing star. Pearsonal appearances,
movies, tadio, and television have
followed. During the war she sang
for American forces and began re
cording for Columbia and Decca
records.
This season brings for Miss Scott
her second transcontinental tour
of the United States and Canada,
embracing more than 60 concerts.
It also included a return to her
native Trinidad in her first con
cert tour of the Caribbean.

Next Door to the Heilig Theatre
Maya Deren to Speak Thursday;
Topic to be "The Art of Film"
"The Art of Film" will be the
theme of the lecture demonstration
presented by Maya Deren at 8 p.m.
Thursday in the Student Union
Ballroom.
Miss Deren. whose work con
cerns the film as creative art, will
speak as part of the University
Lecture-Forum Series. Her visit
to the University is sandwiched in
between committments at the Uni
versities of Washington and Cali
fornia.
"We are moved by what we see,
according to how we see it," says
Miss Deren in explaining her work.
"1 he creative effort should be di
rected not at making a thing look
! like itself, but at using the capac
ity of the camera to make it look
like what the audience should feel
about it.”
Speaking of the motion picture
she says, "Here was a medium
Which could project in real terms
the inner realities by which people
truly live. For we act and suffer
and love according to what wc ima
?ino to be true, whether it is really
:nie or not."
Impatient with what she con
sidered "criminal neglect of a pot
:r.t magic power.” Miss Deren set
nit to correct this in her own films.
While in such a mood of impa
iencc, she met Alexander Hacken
schmied, who agreed with her on
:ho direction that films should
:ake.
Their friendship grew and final
y ended in marriage. Two years
ater they acquired a small, 16-ram.
■amera and began making their
>wn films.
From their efforts came such
:ilms as "Meshes of the Afternoon,”
ivhich concerns the relationship
between imaginative and objective
reality; "At Land." which presents
i relativistic universe—a mytholo
gical voyage of the Twentieth
Century; “Ritual in Transfigured
rime," which is in a sense a dance;
ind “Meditation on Violence," the
'irst film in which Miss Deren
nakes use of music, a Chinese flute
end Haitian drums.
