CHICAGO. 111.?Eleanor Roose- (
velt and Lena Home top the lict i
of the most exciting women he
has known, says Duke Ellington (
in a daring and revealing article
' in the April ^ Ebony. 1
Altogether, the famous orches- j
tra leader and composer includ- 1
es nine women on his list of e Jt 1
' citing women and then goes on ,
to define an exciting woman as ,
"on who ia, spiritually, prettier
inside than the glitter and ve- '
neer of her attractive face and ,
form. A woman whose legs, hips, j
ankles, the lines of her face are <
pleasant to - the sight Her <
' words are - believable' to the j
Ksouhd. She is a fuzzy piece -of i
fluff gratifying to the touch. The
delicate, delightful, flower-like ,
% ' fPagrance of her is enchanting,
Ths ta*te of her lips is the nec
jr~- tar which can make every man
Kfe-> god." .. : \
Ellington grows even more ly
rical when he comes to describ- (
P '' ing Lena Home as one of the
most exciting women? he ,
-v known. "Lena is beauty and . the
ItV, beast, because she is the good
in us all and the animal in us
W.''. all," sings Ellington. "And her
beauty?inside and out?makes
the beast she represents?physL
cal warmth?beautiful. Lena is

There is Lena who maker, every

tion, incisive, determined and

, The Lena1 who can sechxe the
mind, who can advertise to -the
E world that her people can be
P beautiful, inside and out^ She
L really is the combination of all
. the mysterious things which
make up excitement in a woman."
!
Mrs. Roosevelt is just as exciting
but for entirely different
reasons, says the Duke. "She is
i exciting because she is so gentle.
8L : You can read her gentleness In
very cJear-cut. : noble word of
P* her speech, in every uncompll^
oated, sifnple line of her writ .
ing. She is exciting not only here^'
cause she speaks of what vio-_
TenciTih Cicero means to coolies
in China or what bombings in
Florida tell the natives of Formosa,
but because of HOW' she
r apeaks it. She is exciting because
in our troubled times, she

MARIAN ANDERSON. "Think;
3f the easg^ith which Miss Ah-! .
: in
derson tilts her magnificent t0
lead, arches her priceless throat per
and sends forth richness and pe,
warmth Think of her com- goi
manding manner which has all tjC]

Think of the Anderson excitenent
which made a whole nation
? HFC
bow its head in shame when
Lho?e who called themselves real pic
Americans denied the world the 1 1
right to see her in the nation's ?r
rapitol. Marian Anderson Is an \
jxciting woman, who sounds as ln
y a5""h?Toolci untl who car- ^
ries beauty with authority."
He
POPPY CANNON (Mrs. Wal-, j
ter White)? "She is more than .j,
just a woman. She is an influ- CO)
ence. Spo her ln her home, read uo
iier work in a national magazine,'
notice her quiet, tireless effort* ?
to accomplish quietly and with
competence miracles ol good
will among people and you will ?
undersand how she could inspire _
"8
and impress a leader who has ^
upon his slim shoulders a weight .
which almost seems impossible. '
A beautiful, gracious woman!" ,
JOSEPHINE BAKER?"She mj
always seems to be going some- t,1(
where. She is intriguing and sa,
wonderfully exhausting. She sj]
breaks every rule of show busi- i
ness?and rio one ever minds her
lal
doing it. You see her primp one
minute, pout the next. You feel ..pg
the warmth of her sunny per- er
sonality now and in a flash she Qr
storms about something which
displeases her. She 1s completely
the stnr?Josephin'e. She is. so
like a bolt of lightning wrapped
in many sensuous contour^, ex* .
ploding her comedy, tragedy,'
ballet and-jitterbug in five lan-,.
guages?or is it seven? She is f '
an inestimable quantity of quality."

KATHERINE DUNHAM?"She wi
is exciting because she has
spread the warm ray of her th

aced the Imagination, fire;! the] st
blood and tingled the pulses of Tl

Dr. Stevens quotes several ad
