Hilda is very proud of her
'firsts." She was the first Negro
girl to be admitted-and on a schol-
arship-to st. Margaret's Academy
in Minneapolis and, while still an
undergraduate at the University of
Minnesota, she was the first to be
offered a teaching fellowship at
Hampton Institute in Virginia.
Hilda got her BIS. at Hampton.
Her first "acting" job came when
Frank Buck brought his Bring EN-
Back Alive show to town. Buck
needed two people to pose as Ma
layan natives. 81 was Is then.
Everyone said 'Hilda's natural for
the job / took my brother with
me and we were hired. No one was
supposed to know we weren't Ma
layan so we made up our own Ian

out laughing all the time. People

Hilda came to New York a year
and half ago, working first fol-
owl, later for Artkino, which dis
tributes Russian films in this coun-

American Negro Theater. But il

public attention.

And to anyone who suggests that
her attitude may make her a starv-

! Hilda was thrilled that her hus-
band, M/Sgt. William Simms, was
in New York for Wednesdays pre-.

when Hilda was Is, and got mar.

81. After the war Hilda is looking

''J0HNNY COME LATELY" N0W,AT
 CAPITOL SHOW

Just a few years ago, Louis Brom- field. famous novelist, wrote a maga- zine serial that was so widely acclaimed by critics it had to be reprinted in anthology.
 Further proof of the novels ex- cellence was shown when William Cagney Productions purchased the screen rights to the story for their initial United Artists release, star ring Academy Award winner, James Cagney, and retitled it Johnny Come Lately now playing at the Capitol Theatre.
 Like most Bromfield novels, the plot is woven around a woman character. In this instance the woman is Winnie Mcleod (played by Grace George), gallant, kindly woman who is the publisher of a fast-waning newspaper. She be- friends a vagabond newspaperman (played by James Cagney), and, as her devoted reporter and editor, he fights her battles to clean up small town. The story has all the warmth and emotional excitement of a. Bromfield ,best-seller, and rates high among the authors many books and plays.
