Proposed Stage Presentation.
4"I proposed a stage presentation
of, songs sung as the unlettered
Negroes sing them. But even Hall
Johnson said, 'Nobody wants to hear
raw music.'
"I argued at length with Alain
Iicke and Langston Hughes," Miss
3.rston continued. Dr. Locke is pro-
ef litraturo at Howard uni-
trsity; Latgston Hughes is an out-
standing Negro poet and writer of
fiction. "Langston Hughes said that
unarranged Negro folk songs are
merely wild flowers. I answered,
'There are still people who like to
look at wild flowers-I do. And the
tame flowers haven't begun to equal

author, who is here to pr-
sent her "Singing Steel," mue
sical sketch of Negro song&
unretouchedd" at the Southl
Park Y. W. C. A. Nov. 23
and 24.

'Singing Steel' an audition. We pre-
sented it in New York and in Flori-
da and the audiences were thrilled,
because it was simply a faithful
representation of a working day in
a Negro's life, with the songs a
cries he uses."

"When musicians arrange ti
songs," said Miss Hurston, '(h
make anthems out of them. 'rv9o
a rainbow wrapped and tied aro..d
my shoulder,' becomes 'Rain, rai
rain' and 'bow, bow, bow,' as
conductor manipulates his hands,
a way that would make the otigin
Negro singer listen as curiously as
you do. But sing a song as they
'sing it anf everybody joins in.
Robeson Best-and Untaught.
Robeson sings Negro songs better
than tnost because, thank God, he
lacks Uiical education. But,;
ta iyt If youa

"It would be a tremendous ~s'
to the Negro race and to Afierfca ifl
we should lose the folklore and!
folk music, for the unlettered Neg*!*
has given the Negro's best,contri-.
ibution to America's culture."
