The People I Meet

By BARON HARRIS

HOLLYWOOD — A walk down fabulous Sunset Boulevard in the Vine Street area can be a most pleasant experience if one knows what to look for. As you walk if you look toward the sidewalk you’ll notice a star of brass embedded in the cement and inside the star the name of some show business personality emblazoned within the confines of the star. The great ERROLL GARNER has been ao honored and no doubt, many other sepia stars. We didn’t walk too far so we don’t know how many of the greats are honored there. Someday we hope to count them for you. During your walk you pass the world-fam-ed MOULIN ROUGE where emcee JACK BAILEY holds sway on the popular QUEEN FOR A DAY show and to thfe show the public is welcome. Farther on you pass radio station KOOP which has a lilywhite policy, where hiring is concerned, 1 and the deejays and announcers are picketing for higher wages. Even the ofays get disgruntled sometimes. If, It is rumored that FRANK S SINATRA’S famous “Rat Pack” is disbanding in order to get rid of SAMMY DAVIS, JR. without hurting his feelings. It seems that the members of the “pack” are not exactly pleased with SAMMY'S marriage choice. SAMMY was interviewed on PAUL COATES’ program and said he has learned who his real friends are, since he married. He said visitors arc few and invitations to their former friends’ homes are very scarce. The Hollywood ‘man in the street’ con- [ stantly accuses SAMMY of ‘wanting to be white’. We wonder if that is

true.

The SUMMIT CLUB, which is a Hollywood coffee house with band and show, is about to close its doors • for a two-week period. Comic 1 SLAPPY WHITE is the attraction 5 now having followed REDD FOXX into that bistro. After the two week ■ suspension is over we will open ' there for a two week period. Our representative seems to be in our ? comer and we’re glad. LEONARD CHESS, of Chess Records is wingJ ing out to L.A. to see what we have

• to offer recordwise.

We’re glad that the new PINK i POODLE got off to a good start. We must agree with the SAINT when he said, ‘If you want top t entertainment you have to pay for f it.* He is also right when he says • that a lot of you think nothing of ^ going to Chi town and spending a bundle for the same entertaini ment that yoU squawk about paying r* for in Naptown. Better be glad that there’s a place in Naptown that ■ welcomes you and where the en-

tertainment is high class.

H stormy JACQUE DURHAM could move his place, lock, stock ' and barrel, to L.A. he would make 1 a fortune in no time as the folks out here have after hour spots which aiw legal and respectable. There’s

as we have been to the Orient before and we love it. The LEONARD BROTHERS were terrific over there. If we go we hope to do as well. By that time we also hope that our new album has been released. More about that later. When good friend HIAWATHA GRAY left town he promised we would hear from him in 72 hour?. We have received no word from him yet. How come, Hi? If you do not write soon we will. When actress ETHEL WATERS, actors JUANO HERNANDEZ and FREDRICK O’NEAL and musicians COLEMAN HAWKINS, JO JO JONES, and ROY ‘LITTLE JAZZ’ ELDRIDGE appeared tm Route 66 last Friday night the trade papers out here had a field day. The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, a trade paper, paid high tribute to MISS WATERS and canned about thirty-five small pictures of LA WATERS. She’ll probably get an award for her stellar performance.

Umelri^T^AuTGAYTEN' 0 ^ * west coast representative ol CHBCQ RECORDS, said he was in NAPTOWN a short while ago and fvtfcri a good time at the CAPITOL HOTEL which is operated by I sportsman ERNIE P. He also said the hotel is very clean. That fact f we already knew. We’re glad that MrJKrTy could get the LEONARD . BROTHERS going. Now what about ; the FOUR SOUNDS? , SAMMY GOLDBERG IS ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN * FRONT. Out here you really have » to be ‘into something’ tji order to ]' make any noise. L.A. is a cold town if you don’t ha^fe contacts and know your way^around. However * SAMMY GOLDBERG has contacts t and~Xribws his way around. We’ll » bet that he will be making some

: noise soon.

Joe Screws is operating barbecue establishment formerly known as Betty’s on 24th just off Northwestern . . . We were by there Tuesday . . . We also visited E. J. Kyser’s Tally-Ho tavern on 34th St. and Hecschel Buckner’s Mr. “B’s” Pomp Room on 30th St. which was holding its grand opening that nite . . . and the place looked real pretty. MR. “B’S” grand opening was a huge success . . . The exquisitely dressed gals added beauty to surroundings already enhanced by beautiful bouquets of flowers and fine dressed handsome men in their silk and mohair suits and sports attire. It was a good crowd . . . | and they were coming and going right un to closing time . . . We cannot publish the names of the many fine dahlings, because we don’t know from nuthin’ who was who. But we did notice a few of the well dressed men . . . Owner Herschel Buckner . . . Howard (Hobo) Ellis . . . John Lane . . . . . . Brice Owens . . . Leroy (sporty) Johnson and many others. It was a grand and glorious nite for the owner, the staff, and the patrons. If you weren’t there —then you missed a lot of enjoyment . . . and that’s for sure.

Devils’ touchdown. When that has to go as a moral victory, it might be time for the Shorbridge schedulemakers to lower their standards a little. Cathedral was to meet Sacred Heart on Thursday, Oct. 12, after this page went to press. The game was set for CYO Field at 7:30 p.m. FLOUNDERING TECH, which hit a new low with a 34-0 loss at Kokomo, hoped to start the road back when it hosted Marion on Friday. North Central beat Tipton 21-7. Dave Clutter raced 85 yards for a Panther touchdown. Denny Walters scored from 20 yards out and nassed 40 yards to Kurt Stevens for another. Walters got two extra points and Chuck Gale one. North Central was to host Warren Central at 7:30 Friday.

own time catching up, though it wasn’t fo^ lack of runnel's. Fullback Richard Allen was sidelined with an injury suffered the week before, but plenty of yardage was ripped off by William Townsend <149 yards in 13 carries), Bennie Parker, Isadore Robinson, David Bridgeforth and Herman Sheffield, a hard-running sophomore. THE TROUBLE WAS DOUBLE. In the first place fast-starting Ford kept dashing for yards himself, and in the second place penalties kept reversing Attucks. It seemed almost like a race, with the Tigers running the ball forward vs. the officials walking it back. Before we forget it, there ought to be a spectacular missile duel Friday between Wood’s Ledale Johnson and A 11 u c k s’ Parker. Southpaw Ledale is the city’s top long-passer. Bennie’s specialty is that he fades back practically to the goal line, and then generally prefers to run instead of throwing. Give the boy credit, he usually makes it. He is an exciting player to watch. Parker also played a whale of a defensive game, several times throwing Giant runners for sizeable losses. ON THE FINAL PLAY of the opening quarter, fullback Billy Taylor plunged for the first of his three touchdowns to get Attucks into the scoring column. A 2nd quarter drive was climaxed by a beautiful twisting, dodging ramble by Townsend that tied the score at 12-all Homecoming queen Joyce Trice was crowned by Athletic Director Ray Crowe in halftime ceremonies. After the intermission, Townsend had to make the tie-breaking touchdown twice. William’s 42-yard jaunt was called back on a clipping penalty, but three plays later he did it again. Parker ran the point J and it was 19-12. Leroy Patton recovered the ensuing kickoff for Attucks when the ball hit a Ben Davis lineman and bounced straight up in the air. End Allen Bridgeforth brought a thrill in reverse when he stood all alone in the end zone and dropped a perfect 65-yard pass from Parker. Maybe that’s why Bennie doesn’t throw ’em more often! Tackle Jeffrey Jones really racked up the Ben Davis carriers
