12—The Indianapolis Recorder, May 28,1960

Capacity Crowd Expected for Big Show at Fairgrounds Coliseum Tues.. May 31

IS THIS TRUE ? ? One of the reasons cited (in Tues.) Indianapolis News for turning down the reapplication of Club 11, for a beer and wine license was “racial mixing.” . . . We don't dig this . . . Just what is meant by ‘'racial mixing”? ... If the tavern is owned by whites — then WHAT? Then suppose it is owned by a white woman or women — isn’t that mixing? Is it possible for whites to operate a tavern for Negro patronage without fraternizing with the Negro Patrons? . . . Somebody has GOOFED, if what we read in the News is true. What law says that Negroes and whites can’t drink together in public places? or does the Alcoholic Beverage Commission or its enforcement department make its own laws for the people of the great state of Indiana to abide by? This is a situation that should be cleared up pronto! Then who determines who is white or who is colored? Does the color of one’s skin determine his or her race? Let’s stop this nonsense

NOW!

AFRICA . . . According to news reports South Africa has 18,000 Negroes in Jail . . . But latest reports say that most of them will be released soon . . . The Transport Workers Union Express carries an article by its president, Michael J. Quill in its May issue, on the African situation. It lists South African Race 'crimes’ . . . Here are just a few: If an African sits on-a bench in a public park (the bench being set apart for the exclusive use of white persons) by way of protest against the apartheid laws, he commits a criminal offense. Any person who conducts a hospital which was established in a town after 1937, and, without having obtained the permission of the authorities, (except in the event of an emergency) admits an African to it, commits a criminal

offense.

No African, lawfully residing in

with him. It is unlawful for a white person and non-white person to drink a cup of tea together in a tearoom anywhere in South Africa, unless they have obtained a special permit to do so. If there is only one waiting-room on a railway station, it is lawful for the station-master to reserve that waiting room for the exclusive use of white persons, and any nonwhite person wilfully entering it commits a criminal offense, etc. PRESIDENT EISENHOWER . . . The big reception accorded the President Friday on his return from across the big deep . . proves that citizens of this country (irrespective of party) are 100 percent behind him . . . and have the utmost confidence in his ability to deal with Mr. Khrushchev and company. The country is fortunate in having General Eishenhower at the helm during these crucial days . . . and . . . those ahead. ON THE NATIONAL SCENE . . . Movie Star Harry Belafonte addressed a crowd of 10,000 recently in New York City, marking the sixth anni ersary of the Supreme Court’s recision on school desegregation, Ironically. 94 percent of the South’s Negro children are still attending segregated clas-

ses.

ENTERTAINER JOSEPHINE BAKER recently received the George Washington Carver Award in Los Angeles from Dr. Vern O. Knudson, chancellor of UCLA. The award was given for “outstanding contributions to the arts, better race relations and human welfare.” Other notables who have received the award include President Eisen-how-er and the late Pope Pius XJ1. THE URBAN LEAGUE is fighting to get Negro electricians jobs with construction firms that have government contracts. News dispatches from Washington indicate two Negroes may be hired by electrical subcontractors on a *tiew $15,600,000 federal office building.

DeMHIe's 'Samson and Delilah' Opens Sunday at Walker Theater

“Samson and Delilah,” the renowned Cecil B. DeMille’s spectacular dramatization of Judges 13-16 of the Holy Bible, opens Sunday at the Walker Theater. It still rates as. one of the greatest motion pictures of all time. THE PARAMOUNT production, in Technicolor, stars Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr in the title roles. Both give incomparable performances. As the bewitching Delilah whose voluptuous charms enslaved a man where mighty armies had failed, Miss Lamarr is unbelievably beautiful and a dramatic actress of fire and persuasion. Manure keeps Samson always within the bounds of credibility, never once succumbing to what would have been an excusable urge to overplay the strong man of Gaza. Whether falling prey to Delilah’s seductive charms or performing prodigious feats of strength, Mature makes Samson live. Other starring roles are brilliantly filled: George Sanders as the suave Saran of Gaza; Angela Lansbury as Delilah’s beautiful sister; and Henry Wilcoxon as leader of

the Philistine armies.

As everyone who has read the Bible knows, the story concerns a man’s fight to free his enslaved people, his betrayal and his ulti-

mate retribution.

BUT WORDS cannot accurately describe the color, pageantry and pulse-pounding excitement which

SAMSON DISPLAYS his pheromonal strennth! Victor Mature as the Biblical hero in Cecil B. DeMHIe's Paramount production, "Samson and Delilah," bests the giant Philistine wrestler. The Technicolor spectacle co-starring Hedy Lamarr, George Sanders, Angela Lansbury, Henry Wilcoxon starts Sunday at the Walker theater. build to the tremendous climactic already seen the picture will surescene of Samson’s destruction of ly want to sec it again, and those the Philistine Temple. So stirring who for some strange reason and memorable are this and many might have missed the film, cerother scenes that anyone who has tainly will want to see it now.
