Finidn's RainboW
Highly Praised
By Helen Smith
By HELEN SMITH

Take a tip from me and rush
right up to the Lyceum Theater
and buy a ticket for one of the
remaining performances Of Fin
ian's Rainbow"
You'll never regret it!
All the trouble began when
Finian MeLonergan CJoe Yule)
took the mythical Leprechaun's
pot of gold from Dublin Island
and planted it in Rainbow Valley,
Missitucky, UsA.
Finian had heard that million
aires were numerous in America.
Wasn't all the gold buried at Ft.
Knox?
So, he reasoned, the same thing
could happen to him in Missi-
lucky.
In Rainbow Valley, the Negro
and white sharecroppers were
working, dancing and living to-
gether in perfect harmony. Ev-
erybody was happy but Missi-
tucky's wealthy Senator Bill
board Hawkins Robert Pitlxin)
who was stiIl fighting the Civil
War.
When the Senator's property is
surveyed, 1t is revealed that there
is gold on the one strip, Rainbow
Valley, not owned by the Senator.
Now, the Leprechaun's pot of
gold carried with 1t three wishes,
that il made nearby, would come
true.
When the Senator came sput-
tkring and threatening to Rain
bow Valley. Finian's daughter,
Sharon, stood over the hidden
gold and wished Hawkins to turn
black.
He fees into the woods.
The rest Of the musical con-
Germs the granting of the other
wishes, one that Susan MahonaY
Carmen Gutierrez, beautiful slov-
eyed dancing mute. be given her
speech, and that the no-Ionger-
bigoted Senator be made white
again. The rest Of the play is bet
ter seen than read.
Some Of the highlights were
Sharon McLOnergan's singing Of
How Are Things in Glocca Nor
ra"; FinIan's hilarious mugging
all over the show This son Mickey
Rooney gets 1t naturally; q scene
where the Senator's new Negro
butler, Howard, played by Jerry
Laws, is shown how a colored ser
want Is expected to act; Henry
flames GrimesD Interpretation Of
Susan's dancing: and Necessity"
which is sung by Bernice Hall
There arc 10 Negroes In this
musical triumph, all appearing
without the usual steFeOtyPed
roles.
The singing. dancing and speak,

on the stage, and should give the

on Negro ability.
