as songs from the hit parade,
tenor frankie Connors continues
for a third week at Saks Show
Bar.
Also holding over are those
|easy-on-the-eyes Novak Sisters,
acrobatic artists whose tricks are
as daring as they are difficult.
A triple handbalancing sequence
is one of their many speciality
numbers.

company. opened last night as the
star of new revue.

won him coolies of followers, and
IL was at this time that he was
known as "Victor's greatest re-
lcording artist"
In this engagement, which is his
first local appearance in quite a
number of years, Austin sings in
a whispering, soft-voieed manner

Barton
Best in
Cass Play
BY CHARLES GENTRY

WE FIND ourselves back in the
deep South filled with 'likker.'
lethargy and lynching in the new
John Golden production, Free
and Equal" which had its premiere
at the Cass Theater last night.
Playwright George O'Neal has
been moved to discuss the Jim
Grow" problem in dramatic terms
which are interesting enough
though over-lengthy. The formula
is pretty much the same which we
faced in "Mulatto." Native Son.
and hundreds of other plays. al
though the solution to the argu-
ment presented here is a happier
one.
Principal interest, we found. was
in the central character. one Luke
Quincy, an easy-going. likable do
nothing. who suddenly finds him
self sheriff of small Southern
community.
An alcoholic philosopher, he Is
content 10 put his feet on the desk
and let his prisoners use the Jail
as a hotel.
His young daughter, however.
sees 10 IL that father stays on the
right path and when trouble comes|
she is a source OF great comfort.
TROUBLE AT LAST
The trouble comes at the end OF
an unnecessarily long first act.
during which time the audience Isl
almost overcome with atmosphere.
In fact you can smell the magnolia
and hogs from the last row.
Luke's little daughter Is mauled
by the town bully and when his
friend and devoted Negro servant,
Marsh. demonstrates with sthe boy,
he Is shot.
The boy then says II was to-
revenge an attack made on his
cousin. Essie. a silly old maid who
suffers from sex alterations.
THE OLD STORY
Then the hue and cry starts
Despite all Luke can do TO save
his friend. there follows the farci-
cal trial, the death sentence, the
denial of appeal and the SOLDERING
howl OF the bigoted, blood-bentl
mob.
On the eve set for the execution.
Luke breaks his vow TO stay onl
the wagon, and the jug Of corn
'likker" becomes the instrument,
not only for the Negroes escape.
but Also for splendid second-act
curtain.
The third act departs from the
plausible in order 10 prevent a.
tragic ending. but ONeal manages
TO tie up all OF the loose ends.
even il the knots won't hold close
inspection.
NEEDS EDITING
The play needs considerable re-
writing and editing. but even then
liz would not be much were IL not
for James Barton's superb per-
Torrance as the equivocating Luke
It's strong portrayal and
Barton gives it lot of color.
A CHARMING GIRL
We also liked little BeatrieeI
Pearson as his daughter. Her at
tack Is simple and direct and quite
without affectation.
John Marriott as the stoicalI
Marsh and Pauline Myers as the
Negro cook, are both excellent and
John Harvey as the boy is
splendid.
We couldn't quite make up our
mind about Paula Trueman as the
.hysterical female who causes all
the row. Sometimes she seemed
10 be playing the role for comedy,
again for sort OF weird and
psychopathic impression. Her
portrayal. we found, lacked an
even conference.
The rest of the characters be-
long 10 that tobacco-chewing.
raucouS-laughing group you find
in all Southern plays, 1 reckon.

there when he fled this country in 1888.
 He spoke of the hcrrifying experi- ence in Copenhagen during April, 1940, when the Germans moved in and took over the country.
 He said he had not had good cup of coffee for two years until the time the Drottningholm docked - and the cigaret he smoked was the "best in lifetime"
 Borgnaes explained that he at. tempted to come home on the Gripsholm in April Delay in clear ance of papers made 1t impossible for him to sail at that time, how ever.
 The German authorities were very cooperative perhaps for propa- ganda purposes-in assisting him to reach Portugal with his family, he said.
 Resent Nazis
 But ke noted in his passage through France that French people appeared to resent the presence of their Nazi conquerors, although they were careful not to show their feel ings too openly.
 He spoke of the scenes in Rostock as result of the English bombings, and of the Frenchnen who raised their fingers in the well-known "V- or-Victory" sign.
 The trip over was uneventful, he said, and he did not recall having seen g fish-and certainly he saw no submarines.
