Successful Run

For ‘Deep Harlem*' Critic Says Show Was Forced

To Open Without Rehearsal

Dress

(Reviewed Wednesday evening. Jan. 9th, at. Riltmore theatre). Regardless of tjie rotten opening of “Deep Harlem,” at the Biitmore theatre last Monday night, and the poor criticisms of the white dailies and also our own papers, with a little time, I think that “Deep Harlem” will fool them and have a successful Broadrun. was unable to attend the dway premiere on the opening night because of being confined in Wiley Wilson's Sanitarium with the flu, but after persuading my doctor to let me go, along with my nurse 1 attended the Wednesday evening performance. After reading the rptten criticlsms, seeing Wednesday’s performance and later talking with Salem Whitney, who, with his brother Homer, is responsible for the book, l am convinced that this production’s only obstacle is mon-

ey.

Some people may be under the impression that my alibi for “Deep Harlem” is because of my former connection with this production, but personally I should knock it. but am giving my honest and frank opinion for the benefit of my readers and the Negro as a whole. No Dress Rehearsal First, they were forceu to open without a dress rehearsal which Is always necessary even with a small tab show. This came about because they had no money for the rental of costumes and weVe unable to raise same until almost an hour before curtain time. Second, their scenery was not ready until time for the curtain to rise and with only one week’s rehearsal doing a two and one-half hour ■how, thay were lucky to open at

all.

The average Broadway show rehearses four straight weeks in a legitimate theatre, having

eluding electricians, carpenters, property and flymen. These men are studying what we call cues, as to lighting effects, changing scenery and raising and lowering curtains on the second required, all of which amounts into the thousands of dollars before one cent pomes into the box office. Then they take the road for several weeks and then return to New York and rehearse in the theatre where they are to have their run, for several days. David Blasco spent more than $300,000 on “Mima" and the critics say that it will not be a hit. Phillip Goodman spent $200,000 on “Rainbow” before it opened and it only lasted two weeks, so how could "Deep Harlem” open a hit after only playing tab houses for four weeks where you can only do an hour show, spend what money they receive for salaries and transportation, rehearse here in a lodge 'hull for one week, don costumes and the next minute go into a two and one-half hour show? As 1 said before, with little time and patrona^, “Deep Harlem” will put another stamp on Broadway for colored shows. P. S.—After the many, changes of which this production is going thru at present, I will tell you who is who add what they are doing. oOo Elvira In East Elvira Johnson is singing this week at the Roadside Grill, Philadelphia, Pa. Elvira is one of the best known entertainers from the middle west having sung in night clubs and cabarets of the Windy City for a number of years. Geo. W. Robinson, owner and Charles S. Johnson, manager, are to be congratulated for securing the services of Elvira. The Roadside has inaugurated a new policy whereby there will be a change of entertainers each week. oOo VETERAN JOE CLARK Joe Cark, well-known showman, is with Butterbearo? and Susie’s

Record Artists Appear Here Indianapolis is being honored with the presence of two of our most impressive singers this week at The Walker. Jesse Cryor, record artist has been received very highly by each audience which Jias heard his wonderful voice this week. His renditions of “Blue Heaven” and “Mud dy Waters” have proven a hit with the patrons. Miss Lena Curry, refined star, is deserving of the applause she received from the huge audience Monday night. Her rendition of “Sonny Boy,” with little Sammy Davis, two and one-half year old actor, won for her the plaudits of the audience and stamped her in their memories, never to be forgotten. The versatile Miss Curry, supported by the chorus, was able to supplement to a satisfying degree, whatever was lacking in quality, in the song |“Creola.” t She has some of the qualities which remind you of our dear Florence Mills in voice and personality and poise.
