Another simple solution Is to
place the subject where there is no

posture as you would for the same

Now for the other side OF the
question. 1t is not always advisable
to soften shadows or avoid them

tinctively a feature Of early morn

at these times their inclusion in a
snapshot adds a quality Of depth

Always study the shadows before

composition and will improve your

NEW YORK-S N S)-Threatre
goers who are making of the late
George Gershwin's "Porgy and
Bess" just about the most success
full revival OF recent times have
shown an immediate and spon-
taneous appreciation for the comic
artistry of Avon Long, the Sport
in Life" of the piece still drawing
packed houses at the Majestic.
Just the other day standing in
the lobby of the Hotel Theresa
with a small group OF out-of- town
playgoers, this writer heard the
warmest of praise heaped upon the
performance of Mr.. Long.
Cheryl Crawford's production of
"Porgy and Bess' is fortunate in
deed in having Mr.. Long in its
cast. A program note says that he
was in the Pacific Coast production
of the opera several seasons ago;
that he has been seen at the Cot
ton Club in New York; and that
he appeared in the leading role in
LA Belle Helene the swing YER
sion of the Offenbach opera early
last summer at Westport.
Mr.. Long has style. His per-
Torrance is both glowing and sus-
tanned. He is highly professional:
and it is no small tribute to his
acting to say that it is brilliant
and inventive, yet disciplined by
a comic sense. which however mis-
chievously projected, however play
ed in the spirit of the very devil
himself, never gets out of hand
or takes on the appearance of being

knew his Saroyan. The other actors
did as they we're told.
In the first play, Across The
Board on Tomorrow Morning"
Tomorrow Morning" is race
horse which seems fantastic right
there for race horses names are
never that long. The setting is in
a large Fifty-Second Street Res
taurant where the Saroyan play
ers loaf and talk. Lee is waiter.
Both he and cab driver played
across the board
The second is distinctly drama.
Lee, as Blackstone Boulevard, is
a prizefighter who cannot hurt
those in the ring whom he knows
are good. Blackstone is so kind
and so in need of affection, he
adopts a little deaf white boy as
his brother. Finally, he's tricked in
to fighting a midget dressed in the
Hitler regalia. To end it all, Black
stone is left on the stage, dead,
beaten by those he refused to
hurt.
Mr.. Lee gives, as he did in
Richard Wright's play, sincere
winning and surperb performance
but it just couldn't surpass Native
Son."

Entertainers
Are Re-United
AT Fort Dix
Privates johnson
And Boxwill Team
Up Once Again

FORT DIX N. J.-(SNS)- IN
civilian life, Private st. Elmo
Johnson and Private James Thom-
as Boxwill were well known, per-
sonalities in the entertainment
field. Their paths crossed many
times along the great white way.
They worked together in Lew
Leslie's 'Blackbirds" and "Rhap-
sody in Black" and later when
Private Boxwill appeared on the
Paul Whiteman Hour as featured
singer in Cecil Mack's Choir. Pri-
vate johnson arranged the score
for the choir. Now they are back
together again as soldiers in the
service of Uncle Sam at Fort Dix,
N. J.
Although Private Johnson and
Private Boxwill have been in the
army only few short weeks, they
have already appeared on the
''This is Fort Dix" radio program,
which is heard every Sunday after
noon over the Mutual network.
They have also been heard on the
Fort Dix Passes In Review radio
program and were assigned import
ant roles in a movie filmed at this
Pest recently.
Both men were glad to be back
working together again and Private
Johnson commented, 1.-The Army
does everything to treat all men
as individuals"
After they were asked if they
would appear in movie based on
the This is Fort Dix radio pro-
gram, Private Boxwill expressed
the opinion, ''if a man has ability
in the army he gets chance
whether his face is white or
black"
Private BoxWill was awarded a
two thousand dollar scholarship by
the Barnes Foundation after grad
uating from high school. This
enabled him to continue voice
study under Maestro Emilio Roxas,
former coach of Martinelh and
Gigli.
Judging from the applause he
received, the soldiers are apparently
in accord with Private Boxwill's
choice of Songs. His favorite songs
are, cold Man River" Stout
Hearted Men, and Figaro" from
the Barber of Seville
Private st. Elmo Johnson has
studied music since early child
hood, but he is best known for or
ganizing the ST. Elmo Johnson

Christmas Giving

There are diSpiriting currents OF thought
concerning the celebration of Christmas this
year, and particularly the exchange of gifts,
as the custom has been for so many years.
So many good people are manufacturing
excuses to discontinue the habit. So many
are heard saying that, what with the country
at war and taxes mounting Christmas should
be observed only as a religious holiday and
all other features abandoned. This is no
time, they say, to spend penny except for
the necessities of life, no time to give thought
to anything not directly associated with the
war effort. Christmas, as we have known
it, can be postponed until the victory is won
they argue.
Maybe there is way of justifying this
reasoning but we are not able to find it.
On the contrary, we feel that of all Christ
masses in our national history this is the
one to celebrate most fully in all ways
For one thing Christmas shopping will Of

important reason, merchants must have holi.
day trade for the business stability of the
country.
To be sure, we are at war. But we will
win. Certainly We'll have big tax bills, but
we can pay them. There is more money on
payrolls now than even during the flushest
times of our history. To plead lack OF cash
as an excuse for cutting out Christmas Civ
ing is to dodge real obligation.
