This week we doff our hats to
the present administration of the
Jackson Negro Chamber of Com
merce, group of energetic, dynatic
and progressive men who have in
few short months, to our idea,
done more good than all other SINH
lar organizations put together. An
administration that has shown it's
elf vitality interested in Negro
business-whether it was a big
thousand dollar concern or the lit
tie soup joint around the :orn,r
AN administration that has given
hopes to and developed a spirit of
cooperation" in the little Negro
business. An administration that
has not only encouraged the Ne
gro public to trade with Negros
whenever possible, but has gone
about constructively critizing and
helping Negro businesses, so that
they will see fit to improve their
establishments and services to the
point that they will favorably ccn-
pare with any other business in
the city.
We sincerely wish for the pres
ent administration of the Jackson
Negro Chamber of Commerce con-
tinued success and to the hun
dreds of businesses that have be-

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
Abbreviation of a phrase in mill
tary slang, Situation normal; all
fouled up" has resulted in the title
"Snafu" for the new comedy by
Louis Solomon and Harold Buchanan,
presented by George Abbott at the
Hudson Theater. For the record, the
situation is far from normal. But
otherwise the title fits as closely as
plug fits bunghole.
I would not say that George
Abbott has presented the fellow to
his comedy hit, Kiss and Tell" But
there is lot of fun in it and also
what f1rst-night audience settled
for fun, and to the mirth and
pseudomirth is added a rather seri-
Gus complication that provides seri-
Gus suspense.
1t seems that Ronald Stevens, of
California family, ran away at the
age of Is, joined the Army by falsi-
flying his age, saw all sorts of fight
ing in the South Pacific, whereupon
fate caught up with him. His COM
manding officer summons him to
his presence and tells him to go
home to his mamma. So with his
sergeant's stripes, his exact knowl-
edge of judo and many other things
that a combat soldier learns, he
returns to his home. Shortly there
after private, first class, one of his
buddies, turns up on furlough. The
pair, with the assistance of Ronald's
boyhood sweetheart and a romantic
miss from a nearby girls school,

HOLLYWOOD.
Hollywood, like all of America,
has had its baby crop. and a bumper
one, the last two years. If things
happen again as they have hap
pened before, those petted darlings
with real lace on their pillows and
famous mamas and papas helping
them to say mama" and papa
will be taking their turn in front of
the cameras in the next Is years.
Hollywood has been in the film
business long enough to have nu-
merous second-generation players of
prominence, even a few third
generation ones. And there doesn't
seem to be much of record of fall
ureS in pictures among young folks
whose parents come from stage or
screen.
The recent arrival in films of
Hazel Dawn II may signal another
chapter in the history of a distin-
guished dynasty. Hazel Dawn I was
famous in light opera nearly sc
years ago, is perhaps best remem-
bered for her role as The Pink
Lady" Hazel II is under contract at
Twentieth Century-Fox, awaiting
her first film assignment.
Miss De Haven Was Logical.
Another recent conner is Joy Ann

rise during the past year; Two Girls

tage.

ago in Hollywood was that of Lea

career of their daughter, Leatrice
Joy Gilbert, has been interrupted
