Lest readers confuse the play
with the movie of the same
name, they are assured the two
interpretations Of the same
theme are vastly different from
one another. Each retains a
reverent air about it, true, but
the play is rich with warm hui
mour which the scripters, Jean
and Walter Kerr, of Catholic
University in Washington, have
injected without destroying the
central theme as set forth in the
book by the late Franz Werfel.
One will meet brats, pouts,
fretters, stumblebums, frustrated
officials, out-spoken ladies, indi-
vidualists and nagging wives,
along with priests, nuns, a doc
tor, a police commissioner, a
miller and the Mayor Of the
town. The lady seen by Berna-
dette never once appears on the
stage. She is alluded to thru
the medium of light arrange
ment to carry out fully the idea
that Bernadette alone saw the
vision. The problems confront-
ing Bernadette after the an
nouncement of her visions has
leaked out are many. She must
convince her friends, her family,
her priest :. and finally the
stern, but pious, Sister Vauzous.
The scene in which the Mother
Superior admits the genulness of
Bernadette's claim to having seen
the lady is one of extreme
beauty. The play sweeps to
swift finish shortly after Sister
Vauzous acknowledges she had
been wrong.
/
''The Song Of Bernadette" is a
warm, tender. treatment of a
theme well known by now. 1t is
never preachy, there are no long
speeches, no sermons. 1t is pure
entertainment from beginning to
end.
Curtain for both performances
is at 800 in the evening.
The Guild cordially invites all
of Dorchester to patronize its
first production.

Dover officials to comply with the
terms Of the new 1850 state law
which makes unconstitutional all
Massachusetts Town bylaws that
prohibit any religious educational
institution Of any denomination
from establishing in any city or
town in Massachusetts.
Attorney General Kelly has
been commended by spiritual
leaders Of all religions for his
courageous and sincere efforts to
stamp out such intolerance.
The Dover officials have until
June 26 to answer Attorney Cen
eral Kelly's petition in the courts.
It is expected that they will fight
the Attorney General and the new
State Law and will not remove
this discriminatory bylaw until
compelled to do so by the court.

Baseball Gome
Big Feature Of
Mayors Field Day

New England's greatest comedy
baseball attraction will be staged
on Tuesday night, July II, in
Boston at Fenway Park where
Leroy 'Satchep Paige, legendary
Negro pitcher and his Colored All
Stars will play against the New
England Hoboes in the feature Of
the annual Mayors Charity Field
Day.
Considered by many fans to
have been the greatest pitcher of
his era, the Satchel joined the
Cleveland Indians in what was
considered the twilight of Mis-
effectiveness.
In performances this year in
independent baseball throughout
the West the tall and taciturn
Negro finger has proven that
there is plenty Of truth to the
Paige legend Of mound mastery
Pages appearance in Boston will
be in the form Of reception to
a great player who did so much to
pave the way for the entrance
Of Negro players into the major
leagues.
Paige is one of the most-pub-
licized athletes in the history Of
the national game, and his age
has been the subject of as much
controversy as has Mae Vests
Over the period Of the last tire,
years, the sports feature Of tn,
Field Days has always brough
together top baseball personalities
and organizations. In 1s4S, thu

JAMES A. BLAND
COMPOSER OF SONGS
lI854-191D


Our EBONY WINDOWS would
be incomplete without mention
of James A. Bland. His name is
not familiar to most of us little
wonder for he was forgotten for
twenty five years. We have often
heard the name of Stephen
Foster. Some Of us enjoy his
music. Yet next to Stephen Foster
as a composer of plantation songs
ranks James A. Bland.
Our color-blind America too
often has had short memory
where her dark-skinned sons
have enriched her cultural life.
And we brown Americans have
been too hurried and rushed maxi
ing a living in our highly COM
petitive society to honor those to
whom honor is due. Bland
knew not first hand plantation
life for ne was free and northern
born. Flushing, L. l. was his
birthplace. Being possessed of a
lively imagination and quick in
telligence he sensed the taste OF
America for plantation music,
and composed songs that would
take with the public. Although
one Of the early graduates Of col
lege at Howard he resisted the
strong pressure brought to beal
on the graduates going forth t,
either teach or preach. He showed

Atty. Gen. Kelly Files Equity Bill
Against Dover Town SeIectmen

The petition of Attorney Cen
eral Francis E. Kelly to compel
the three selectmen Of the town
of Dover to grant the Dominican
Fathers the right to establish a
religious education school in the
town Of Dover, was returned on
Monday, June 5, in Suffolk SUI
perior Equity Court.
Attorney General Kelly was
forced to take this court action
when the Dover officials defied
the provisions of the Kelly-LobeI
bill, enacted recently by the Mass.
Legislature and signed April II
by Gov. Dever.
An emergency preamble was at
tached to this bill which made
it effective on April IL, instead
of waiting the customary 80 days.
The effect Of Attorney General
Kelly and Representative Lobers
bill was to make unconstitutional
a Dover bylaw passed in 1916
at Dover town meeting and APP
proved by a former Attorney
General in 1916, which barred all
religious educational institutions
of any description or denomina-
ton establishing in Dover.
On September 20, 1o49, the
Dover Selectnen went to the ex-
tent of refusing the Dominican
Fathers the right to open a chapel
and rectory. Their action at that
time was publicly condemned by
Attorney General Kelly as in
tolerant and un-American.
AS a result Of Attorney Gem
eral Kelly interceding in his off
cial capacity as chief law enforce
ment officer of the State, the
Dover officials reluctantly re-
versed their stand and permitted
the Dominican Fathers the right
to have a chapel and rectory.
However they continue to refuse
the Dominican Fathers the right
to teach religion.
Inasmuch as the Dominican
Fathers are teaching missionary
order, the property purchased
more than a year ago is abso-
lutely useless to them until they
have the right to use their vacant
building in Dover for religious
educational purposes.

seeks court order to compel the
