foremost Colored Musician
To Sin.? Famous Negro
Spirituals
An hour of folk songs and spiri
tuals of the negro rare, with
Harry Burleigh, foremost colored
musician of the world, singing
them with orchestral, band and
rhoral accompaniment, will fea
mr: tie Fripidaire program In the
series of General Motors family
pirties on Monday evening, Feb.
Hurleish if one of the outstand
i.m leaders who has brought dig
nity and distinction to his race.
For thirty-five years he has been
the principal soloist of St. George's
Kpisiopal chnreh In New York
City, retained over that long pe
riod by a white congregation be
cause of the beautiful quality of
hij baritone voire and his devotion
to religious music. Not only In
the rocal field, however, has he at
tained ret-orniiion. He is given
full credit in the world of music
for havinr saved the now famous
negro folk songs and spirituals
from oblivion. Years of research
and, study of the music of his own
people have resulted in the com
position and arrangement by him
of one hundred and thirty-five of
these songs, whose beginnings go
back to days of antiquity among
the black tribes of Africa, His
best known composition of this na
ture is "Deep River."
Burleigh wa? a poor boy, born
of obscure parents in Erie, Peon..
61 years ago, and grandson of a
slave. Hie success in music has
been co-incident with a long strug
gle for livelihood in a restricted
field of endeavor, varying from
deck hand to bookkeeper. In apite
of these limitations he managed to
work his way through school and
to graduate from Howard Univer
sity in Washington, D. C. During
later years bis path ha been
smoother, a his great roice and
his compositions have brought him
substantial remuneration.
The spirituals of the American
i negro to be sung Monday evening,
are said to constitute the most ex
tensive and varied body of folk
song that is ftill alire and grow
ing in any civilized country today.
The tyre itself is a hybrid.with
almost infinite variety. As a ba
sis ihe negro used the hymns of
white people, more or less uncon
sciously, taking them apart and
ildinir them with additions
from many sources. He Incorpor
ated a little of everything from
the Bible down to popular stage
songs of his day, and unified an
hv instilllnit into it hi own pe
culiar psychology, pathos and hu
mor. The results were aomelimes
crude, but not infrequently he hit
upon a literary effectiveness great
er than the studied artistry of
more learned composers.
Unique in their imagery, style
and creative effort these songs
defy Imitation. With the singing
of the old folk songs, the Negro
can banifch all feeling, and project
himself beyond the reaches of hu
man limitations Into the land of
the sDlrlt.
The religious songs, with their
weird intonations, produce a mys
tical effect that is generally touch
ing the pathetic. Never since man
first lived and suffered was . his
lnneine and suffering uttered
more Dlaintlvely.
There is no parallel instance of
an oppressed race thus sustained
bv relieiouF sentiment. Its songs
are but the real expression of the
KimnilHtv of its faith and the sun
liniity of its long resignation. The
wild sad stories tell, a the suf
ferers themselves could, of
crushed hopee, keen sorrow and a
dull daily misery, which cover
them. On the other hand the
words breathe a faith in rest for
the future to which their eyes
seem constantly turned.
Assisting artists in the Frigid
aire hour will be the Hall-Johnson
Jubilee singers, a chorus of negro
vocalists almost as famous in
their field as Burleigh in his. As

SEE LITTLE HOPE

Desire of Some Broadcasting
Stations Not To Be
Realized Soon
WASHINGTON (AP) The
hope of many radio station own
ers of obtaining long term broad
casting licenses probably will not

radio observers here believe,. '
In addition to the attitude of the
Federal Radio Commission In op
posing the extension of license pe
riods until the broadcasting situa
tion has been satisfactorily cleared
up, opposition has developed in
Congress to "freezing" the radio
spectrum. Judge Eugene O. Sy-
kes, acting chairman of the com
mission, aeciares it would be un
wise to grant long term licensee
until reception has been greatly
improved. The commission has
been granting licenses for only 60
days so that It could make neces
sary changes In the Interest of the
listening public.
Representative Ewln L. Davis,
democrat, of Tennessee, haa sug
gested to the committee on Marine
and Fisheries which has charge of
radio legislation in the House, that
the law be amended to limit the
life of broadcasting licenses to 90
days. The radio law authorizes
the Issuance of licenses up ftp
three years. Mr. Davla said he did
not propose to strike out the three
year clause but would hold it in
suspension a year.
Paul W. Morency. field repre
sentative of the National Associa
tion of Broadcasters, declares the
desire of every station, which in
tends to remain In the broadcast
ing business, is for stabilization
of the industry.
There are two factors which will
Uses AC Tubes
constructed for alternating; current
By C. K. Bntterfleid -(Associated
Press Radio Editor)
NEW YORK (AP) Alternat
ing current tubes, when placed in
the audio end of a receiver, per
form as satisfactorily as storage
battery valves.
A few precautions are necessary
in construction, with a slight
change in the filament circuit wlr
ing. Otherwise an AC amplifier is
no different from one using direct
current tubes.
Filament wires of lampcord or
other twisted cable should be kept
as far away as possible from the
other parts of the set. Filament
current Is obtained through a step-
down transformer connected to the
house lighting lines.
Several models of AC tubes,
with varying voltages, are avail
able. Those selected for this am
plifier are of the heater type, hav
ing five connections. Filament
wires come out at the tops of the
tubes. The base has four prongs
but only three of them are used.
To facilitate wiring, filament
posts on the sockets should be
wired together as a single unit, to
which grid returns are fastened.
In selecting apparatus for the
amplifier, quality should be the
governing factor. An output trans
former is almost a necessity. It
keeps the high plate voltage out of
the loud speaker windings and
aids in production.
Volume may be controlled by a
variable resistance of 200,000
ohms or so shunted across the
secondary of the first transform
er-. A C battery la necessary, the
voltage for the first tube being
smaller than for the second, de
pending upon the B voltage. The
heater tube will take up to 190
volts on the plate.
The filament voltage Is three
In placing the filament wires, the
tube should act as their support.
Attached to a tuner having s
step of radio frequency and a re
generative detector, the AC ampli
fier will deliver without distortion.
While there will be a slight AC
hum when tuned off a station. It is
not disagreeable.
bring this about, Mr. Morency
says, the granting of longer term
licenses by the commission and
the finding of men of ability to
place in managerial and sales
men's positions.
"The first factor Is vital to the
industry in order that the second
may be given a fair opportunity of
accomplishment" said Mr. Mor
ency.
"With license granted in the
near future for six or nine months
it would be possible for the prin
cipal stations to proceed vigorous

tlons. the placing of well spon
sored hours and the production of
sxcellent programs.''
