No Hesitance
In Acclaim OF
Performance
Applause Greets
Her Entrance;
Holds Audience
By MARJORIE E. GREENE

NEW YORK-(A N p - New
York's reaction to tine play Anna
Lucasta," which reached Broad
way by way of Harlem's American
Negro theater, is colored by It's
enthusiastic reception of Hilda
Simms, who plays the title role.
The play, by Philip Yordan, has
been called everything from very
bad" to having possibilities" by
New York critics, who have been
extremely hesitant in endorsing
the earthly, melodrematic offering.
But there has been anything but
hesitance in their attitude toward
Hilda Simms as Anna. Miss Slmms
Is a beautiful, vivid, dark-haired
girl with a warm smile. Her acting
leaves the audience with a sense
of a job well done. There is no
suuirmy, uncomfortable feeling at
any time that she may not measure
up to the Interpretation necessary
for the action of the play.
She quite obviously belongs" on
the stage from the moment she
makes here entrance-which, by
the way, is signal for generous
applause. Actually, she is the
drawing card for the play, for
without her there is serious
doubt that Anna Iucasta would
have had Broadway opening
She, somehow, in the Harlem pro-
duction of the play, brought out
the appeal of Philip Yordan's writ
ing.
HOLDS MANS LOVE
The play itself is about not
very-upstanding family In Penn
sylvania named Lucasta, appon-
daged by daughter Anna, prosti-
tute. In spite of her character
handicap, Anna manages to find
and keep the love of "fine young
man" from the south who has
graduated from agricultural col
Iege, has $500, and a future" be-
fore him. Mr.. Yordan wrote 1t first
with the characters Polish fami- !
ly, but the play was never spon-
sored as such.
1t was hit upon by the American
Negro theatre, which Immediately |
made the family Negro. So it is
actually a story about people"
with the places savoy" Harlem" |
and other connotations thrown in
to make it seem essentially Negro. |
There is no race problem men
toned, not even a hint of one in |
the life of the family as it goes |
about it's problems. The family is
just poor, struggling, misguided
cluster of people.
GOOD FOR PART
Hilda Sifnms was good for Anna |
Lucasta. She brought it to Broad |
way. 1T might have rested quietly
forever among the heaping vol
umes of unproduced manuscripts;
or if produced might have passed
out a neat little flop were it not
for Hilda's "Anna." For Anna Luz
casta was also good for Hilda.
It was a wonderful vehicle for
a demonstration Of her acting
ability. She needed nothing less
than the grittiness and pathos of
Philip Yordan's Anna to prove that
she had the unmistakable possi-
bilities for what she wants most
to be: a good, dramatic actress.
Being a Negro, it might have taken
her years to get chance to prove
that-on Broadway.

BY WILLARD MOORE
For the Associated Negro Presss

An eminent peer of the arts
stated recently, Jazz is a weapon
against fascism; it is an instru-
ment for building interracial Soh-
darity; it is a tool that Yields peo-
plies together.
Let us examine this statement,
carefully probing and weighing
the evidence. We go into a ball
room or theatre where entertain
ment is lavishly waxed with the
music of good hot jazz. AS we en-
ter, the loud steady gutbucket
tempo reaches out and warmly
greets us.
RACES MINGLE
There are supple dancers, ntm-
BILE jitterbugs hustiing, scurrying
about. A shrieking congregation of
people who, being merry, whirl in
thump-mad happinesS.If you will
look close you will see harmonious
fluids of races intermingling-
black, white, red. brown, all color
ed, all creeds, some standing to
listen, others densely packed
shoulder to shoulder, breathing
with intense hunger the air of true
music.
There is much frecom here. Inn
mense freedom for jazz. Plain.
simple folks dancing and listen
ing to a simple art. A folks art,
a peoples music. What prejudice
there may be in the person ebbS
swiftly. All diabolical thoughts are
miserably crushed. No thoughts Of
hate reign. No battering Of super
iority or inferiority against one
another. There is just Jazz. Pure
hot music pouring out, which
swells and boosts all hearts into
unification of goodness. There Ii

Food Line Kept Open
Despite Invasion
BY the Associated Press.


Despite the competition with pre-
invasion war materiel for shipping
space, lease-lend food flowed in a
steady stream to our Allies during
the first five months of this year.
Reporting on operation of the
program, Leo r, Crowley, foreign
economic administrator, disclosed
today that the totals of some foods
sent abroad were smaller than dur
ing the corresponding months of
l943 and others were larger, but the
net effect on domestic supplies
changed only slightly.
Most of the lease-lend food went
to the United Kingdom and the
Soviet Union. the United States con-
tinuing to supply about 10 per cent
of British food needs.
In the five months ended May 81,
Mr.. Crowley said, the United States
shipped as lease-lend 9.3 per cent
of our supply of meats. a slight
reduction from the 1943 average.
The major share of the shipments
consisted of pork. about 1876 per
cent of United States domestic sup
ply being sent abroad. Beef and
veal shipments amounted to IL per
cent OF national supply.
The War Food Administration re-
ported today that May deliveries for
shipment were 857.87O,924 pounds,
compared with 654 301 900 mounds
put down at shipside during April.

instructed under a bill signed by
President Roosevelt today to in
vestigate the problem of multiple
taxation of air commerce and re-
port within 180 days on what leeis-
lation, if any, is needed to improve
the situation.
The bill, introduced by Repre-
sentative Bulwinkle, Democrat, of
North Carolina, was enacted after
the Supreme Court on May Is up
held the right of Minnesota to assess
personal property taxes against the
entire airplane fleet of Northwest
Airlines, Inc.
The decision, on which the high
court divided, to 4, held out the
possibility, it was said, that multiple
taxation will unnecessarily burden
and impede the development" of air
commerce in the United States, her
Territories and possessions.
The CAB was directed under the
new act to consult with States, Ter
ritories and possessions and return
recommendations for any remedy
deemed advisable.
