shower. Testing titles or no, the
fact remains that Mr.. BrisSon is
one of the finest entertainers
around, a man who can fill the
customers of a hotel supper club
with a great enthusiasm for be-
ing there.
Mr.. Brisson has, as everybody
knows, a sort of secondary fame
in addition to his own as a
singer-as the father-in-law of
Rosalind Russell. This, obviously,
puts him in an age bracket where
he could pass himself off as a
grandfather. He is,~ however, any,
thing but a grandfatherly type.
His figure is athletic and his vigor
is that of half-dozen young men.
When he bounds out on the floor,
clad in impeccable evening dress.
a song bursting out, the girls at
the ringside go ga-ga to a degree
of ga-ga-ness inspired by none of
these young boy crooners.
This new relaxed style, launched
by Bing Crosby and followed by
numerous others, is not for Mr..
Brissen. He's all over the place
when he sings a song, greeting
friends at the near tables, whirl-
ing around the room, leaping on
chairs and the piano. A song
worth singing is to Mr.. Brisson,
a song worth singing well. which,
in his case, means a dramatic
production. "A Pink Cocktail for
a Blue Lady" takes on a drama
somewhat at the level of Hamlet
at the very least.
If everybody did it, this might
become a little tiring, but when
Mr.. Brisson goes to work on an
hours worth of songs, it Is fine
entertainment.
This leaves scant space to take
up the merits of Carlos Ramirez,
but he belongs in this company
He is not so well known in nigh
club circles, perhaps. though you
may remember him from any of
"a number of MGM musicals which
have had need for a Latin singer
of considerable talent. He is a
somewhat cherubic young man

The problem this week Is not
one of finding some place to go
but one of selection. There are.
to narrow it down a little bit. three
places where you can be royalty
entertained. There are, in fact,
three places it would be almost
foolish to stay away from right
now, unless, of course. it would
mean the kiddies must do without
milk. in which case you can stay
home and watch television secure
In the knowledge that Ed Wynn
will be on again Saturday night.
Usually it is curvaceous feminine
people, for some reason or other,
who seem to this department more
entertaining, but right now there
is q lot of male singing around
here that is fine. At the Shore
ham Blue Room you will find Les
Compagnons de la Chanson, or the
Nine Frenchmen, if trying to say
INV" in your nose when confronted
with "gn" in a word makes you
uncomfortable. At the Statler
Embassy Room it is Carl Brisson.
At the New Orleans young man
named Carlos Ramirez is tossing
voice across the Latin Quarter
that would fill Constitution Hall
and should and will.
Les Compagnons, at the Shore
ham, are superb, as you have been
told before on their two previous
visits to the Blue Room. They
probably are no better this time
than before, since they hardly
could be improved on. but they do
seem to be. This feeling no doubt
stems from a certain familiarity;
knowing some of the things they're
going to do adds anticipation to
the JOY of watching and listening
to them.
Their hilarious slapstick imper-
sonation of symphony orchestra,
apparently done with abandon but
actually masterpiece of timing,
remains a high point in the rep
ertoire of the Nine Frenchmen.
They also have a knack that
amounts to genius for switching
from one of these wildly comic
moods to a serious one and tax
ing their audience with them in
an instant.
The language barrier never was
less an obstacle in communica-
tion's path than when Les Com
pagnons are singing of the things
that are part of life. Their tall
ent is such that they even can
include among their new num-
bers a fine version of Lucky Old
Sun" that makes that sound like
a classic rather than an over
worked Tin Pan Alley lament.
They could even make Mule

 .. It is our hope that Alaska will be able to take it's proper place in the National Conference along with other states and ter ritories. How fully we realize that hope will depend upon the cooperation of all its citizens.
 Ernest Gruening
 Governor of Alaska
 The seven objectives for the 1850 Conference are as follows:

 2. To assemble in usable form our present knowledge about the status of children;
 3. To define the needs of par ents in providing adequately for their children;
 A. To Study the physical, so- cial, economic, and moral en- vironment in which children are growing up, and recommend ways of improving it;
 5. To size up present services for children and youth, and map the direction in which services should develop;
 6. To examine into the ways people are now working together for children, and develop ideas for more effective team work; 2. To initiate steps for the achievement of the Conference recommendations in the coming decade.

Mrs. Russell Tells of Call She Made at
The Hume House Before 1t Had That Name

In the issue of June 2, writing
about the Hume house, on the
school grounds, l said: mo
body now living remembers
when Rev. Needham Cobb,
grandfather of our present Col
lier Cobb, Jr., lived in it." If /
had said nobody now living in
Chapel Hill" ! might have been
on safe ground.
Mrs. Lucy Phillips Russell of
Rockingham, Phillips Russell's
mother, who was born and
brought up in Chapel Hill,
writes me:
Il called on Mrs. Needham
Cobb one warm afternoon in
July. She met me at the door
with a baby on her left arm, her
left hand holding a German
grammar, her right hand clasp
ing a big wooden spoon, redolent
i of blackberry jam. She cordially
invited me into the kitchen that
she might finish the jam while
she explained that it was only
in such leisure moments that
she could learn German and so
help the older children to attain
at least a reading knowledge of
that language while they were
young.
MRS. Cobb was like that-a
tiny woman who carried her
head on one side from some Bit
ter pain in early life, but who
could spend a hot summer after
noon in doing four things at the
same time-nursing baby,
learning German, making black
berry jam, and entertaining a
visitor. One sees plainly why
the Cobb family is one of intelli-
gence, ambition, and grit.

called The Baudeyt House for
several years. He taught French

fore the approaching storm of

niscent heart to see these old
homes torn from their ancient
setting, the century-old trees

KEEP THE VIRGIN ISLANDS FREE
by Oliver Cecil Hall

Hats off to the Virgin Is
lands Legislative Assembly
and its native governor for
their courage in placing upon
the statutes Of the Virgin Is
lands an Anti-D iscrimination
Act.
The Virgin Islands Negroes
won their freedom through
courage, bloodshed, and death,
and for several score years Of
Danish rule thereafter remain
ed free and unaware of pre-
JUDGE or racial discrimination.
They lived, socialized, at
tended the same churches,
schools, recreation centers and
intermarried with the Dutch
and Danish whites who resid-
ed in the Islands, without be-
ing made conscious of their
fermentation. It was not until
1917 after the transfer of the
Islands from Denmark to The
United States and the subse-
quent arrival of the first US
Marines that the natives were
confronted with racial dis
elimination. After. several
skirmishes between them and
the Marines it became appar-
ent that, unlike their unfortu-
nate southern brothers, the
native would not stand abuse
and a quick end came to the
term "Niggers," to which they
were unaccustomed, and to the.
violation of their rights as
men.
The Marines learned quick
~ and adapted themselves to
the custom Of non-segregation
and all went well. The CONT
mental whites who came to
the Islands, either in an Off
cial or private capacity, adj
hered to the Islands customs.
However, in recent years a
large number of white Ameri-
cans, both tourists and perma-
, 1950-12-30

nent residents, have been ar
irving in the Islands to take
advantage Of their sunny
skies, inviting climate, pic
turesque landscapes, and natu
raj beaches. Many of them
who come from Florida and
other places in the United
States where racial discrimi-
nation is prevalent have been
trying to establish this prac-
tice in the Virgin Islands. The
Act passed by the Legislative
Assembly and the governor
will put an end for all time to
such practices in the Islands
and keep the natives free. The
courage exhibited, the blood
shed, and the lives lost
through the "Fireburn," which
made free men of slaves, must
forever live in the hearts and
memories of all Virgin Island
ers and move them to act with
firmness according to demo-
cratic principles in order to re-
tain their rights as free men
and Americans.
Of course, the Virgin Is
lands welcome white CONT
nentals, either as tourists or
as residents. The money they
spend helps to bolster the eco
nomy. But they must come
free Of prejudice. Only then
will they find the people toler-
ant, hospitable, kind, and law
abiding. They will not offend
or will they be offended.

of uneducated poor in the Is
lands, the same as IN any other.
