presented Ed Sullivan, N. Y. Daily

The producers, j. j. Sllubert
gave no reason why it should close.
They had just agreed to keep it
going at least until the 18th Of this
month. It stayed just 3 weeks.
Stars included Noble Sissle, Una
Mae Carlisle, Delta Rhythm Boys.
Peters Sisters, Eddie Green, VIM
and Bob johnson and comedian
Tim Moore. With a $2.75 top price,
and running three weeks, Caval-
cade will still be considered great
vaudeville show.
Although there was nothing new
in the entertainment, everybody
doing his same old acts, the
novelty was in the combination Of
the different acts to make one
grand show And that's just what
it was. just last week, the Delta
Rhythm Boys, singers, were an
added attraction.

NEW YORK-(A N P)-Our
America, sad to say, is rampant
with race prejudice. Some of it Is
obvious, most of it is snake-like,
insidious, all but perceptible.
Comforting, therefore, to say the
least, was the latest concert Civ

young American artists were pre-
sented, including one Negro: Mau-
rice Wilk, violinist; Virginia Lewis,
Negro znezzo-soprano; Emanuel
Vardi. violinist: ard Vivian Pivkia,
pianist, all ably accompanied By
the New York Chamber orchestra.
The program was typicaily Dig
on, that is to say, unassaible in
point of quality. Mr.. Wilk was
heard in the Mendelssohn con-
certo, conceded by some as the
greatest in violin literature. Miss
Lewis offered the Polissena aria
from Handel's "Radamisto,"
Brahms "Von ewiger Liebe," Rich
ard Strauss "Allerseelen" and
"Zuignung' and Verdi's 90 don
fatale" from "Don Carlo" Mr..
Vardi, gave the first New York
concert performance of Thor Ser
ly's concerto for viola, work that
in the years TO come may be con-
sidered classic. And the gifted
Miss Rifkin crowned the evenings
pleasure with the last of the
Beethoven works in piano concerto
