"FATS" WALLER IN PERSON.
COMING TO CAROLINA THEATRE.
?"Fats"?
W'a Her. famous radio
and recording star, will be on hand
with his noted Columbia Broadcast
ing Orchestra next " Tuesday- at
the Carolina Theatre. Songwriter,
virtuoso'of thtrAiottny Piano, and
organ and master=of-ceremonies ex
traordinary, "Fats" during the
course of his performance, will
demonstrate the amazing range of
accomplishments which has earned
for him the sobriquet of radio's
"Jack-oT-all Music."
Thomas ('Fats") Waller was
born in New York on May 21st,
1004, the son-of a-minister. "Fats'1
played the organ and sang in the
choir of the Abyssianian Baptist
Church in Harlem, -where his father
preached, until his fifteenth
year. Then over parental protests
fRTSccepfed an otfer to sing and
play at LeRoy Wilkins' cabaret.
Here/he remained until 1924, doubling
occassinally as a theati'e organist
and making "piano rolls"
for the Q-R-S Company.
The next year Waller appeared
in vaudeville with the famous
blues singer, Bessie Smith; later,
wrote the music for the show,
"Keep ShuffVng;" and next toured
the Publlx thoatres organist. Tn
1930 he wrote the lyifes for the
rhusical comedy, "Hot Chocolates"

1 Many know English but will'not
L4_?peak it unless presM?eb -4 had an
1. amusing inedent. I was buying
"J a small galvanized iron building
I for a brurch. I was told I could
! get it for 42 pounds ($210). When
' I arrived the ;Native lady said she
' wanted 44 Jpo^pjids and would not
yield. . She'Wpoke a PortUgueseLAfriaan
dialect which was relayed
' to m? through two interpreters." I
1 sa d in English to Dr. Tantsi, my
[superintendent: "I don't want to"
argue with this woman. Give her
144 pounds i? she insists; thougr I
!was told specifically that it was
'I only 42 pound." The woman got
1 the 44 pounds. A few weeks lat*
'er I met her at" Wilberforce tnstitute.
Running up to me she said:
rfHow are you Bishop?", and 1
rattled pff as good English as I
- could.?I sa;d: "Yuu old fi'5tt4,~T
thought yo- couldn't speak Englisr."
She said laughingly that
she spoke six languages; but, she
added, "I love my own language
t best and I only speak the others
i when I have "to."
I This is but one illustration of
I the fine mental calibre of the
' South African Native which I have.
' seen In all parts of the country.
' And it makes me enthusiastic in
'helping to give him his opportunity.
There is no doubt he has fine
native ability?he just does not
have many opportunities for
training.
