condemned the reactionary trends
of the state department at the

CLAYTON, Ga (SNS) - Jose

ITO all of us involved" says Lii

than Just another Broadway pro-
duction. We want everybody in it
white and colored to be the kind
of folks who can forget color, and
remember only that they are hu-
man beings. So many Negroes hate
whites, so many whites hate Ne
groes that it is not easy to find
among these millions IF color-con-
Scious people even a few who re-
member in their minds and hearts
that they are human"

can be a profound experience in
human relations as we'll as a sue
cessful play" she continues. eve
must have skilled actors and ac-
tresses who have technical ability
to project drama across the foot
lights, but we must have also sem
Sitive, imaginative human beings
playing these roles. 1t would be a
wonderful thing if the cast of
STRANGE FRUIT can prove to
the world that thirty or forty hui
man beings Wit happen to be of
different color can work together
discarding color an old WORKOUT
costume.
MUST UNDERSTAND
'The actress who plays Nonnie
must be profoundly sensitive and
understanding. She must know how
it feels to be a Negro and how it
feels to be white person, and
how it feels to be a human.
1--WE think If all our cast can
understand, or can get a glimpse
OF this dream of ours, that we can
put in thrilling play.
You see, we feel the play must
be done in such a way that our
audience will forget their color as
they look at it; that they will
have the feeling that it happened
long ago before folks knew bet
ter tn at t h e Y will see it
with objectivity and hence not
let their passions, their hate. and
their fear respond to the happen
1ngs on the stage. 1t is not going
TO be easy to play STRANGE

and Negroes, for they will not
leave their prejudiceS in the
