After Dark
By Harry Macarthur

Diplomacy is what you need to
get along as an orchestra leader
It's one of the things you need
at any rate. Take now the case OF
Barnee, Of the Shoreham Blue
Room, who was being nightly
pestered the other night by q
woman slightly awash in the
grape, or maybe it was the ripe
golden grain that had her. Any
how. she kept heckling him and
trying to drag him over to the
table to meet all her dear friends
Il guess you don't remember
me-" she said at last. Il used to
come in here, but I haven't been
here for Is years. I guess you
don't remember me-"
Barnee did not say, as a man
We know surely would have
you're darned we'll right I don't
remember you and I hope I don't
see you for another IS years. -
He did not, as any of us might,
stutter for an answer and NUT
ter something in effectual about
the ravageS of time. Instead he
looked her straight in the eye.
You're wearing different
hat" he said blandly. The thing

that startled this onlooker was
that she fell for it. Giggled that
she certainly was wearing a new
hat and swept it off so Barnee
could have a better look. If he
ever saw her Is years ago, he
would have quit orchestra lead
ing for a nice spot in the hermit
business.
The Latin Quarter of the Old
New Orleans has come up with
its most extensive show yet, with
Daryl Harpa's orchestra, Marina
Paige and Los Chicanos holding
over and Dean Murphy arriving
as the guest star. Mr.. Murphy's
talents ought to be fairly we'll
known around here by this time
Che used to be a regular at the
Earle before it became the War
ner and the Capitol and has
turned up at several dozen private
entertainments), so there's not
much point in going too deeply
into what he does.
He has a great knack for carl
cature infection and movement
and his Hildegarde borders on
the ruthless. He is less ruthless
in his portrait of other we'll
knowns, from Clark Gable to Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, and he is
anything but ruthless in his i'm
personation of the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt. This latter item
isn't as funny as it used to be
when it's subject was among the
first to laugh at it. In fact, 1t
isn't funny at all, its broad bur-
lesque having been replaced by
solemnity, undoubtedly in Mr..
Murphy's own tribute to a man
he greatly admired who. by ap-
proval. brought the PEI ormer
something like fame. Mr.. Murphy
handily gets away with being
solemn at the conclusion Of an
otherwise comic act, though.
The Murphy style is one which
never appealed particularly to
this department, being a too OBJ

and the ringsiders on opening

Altogether this show is quite a

Mrs. Nellie James, soloist.
Mrs. Thelma Gordon, the charm
ing wife of Bishop Gordon, was
presented with a beautiful "bon

Gordon gracious1y acknowledged
the gift and thanked the mis-
sionaries for the kindness ex-
tended to the Bishop and herself

Gordon) with the Bishops infant
granddaughter, were seated at
the guest table with their illus

SIX THOUSAND HEAR
BISHOP WALLS ON
BROTHERHOOD"

NEW YORK-An audience of
5000 gathered in st. John the
Divine Cathedral here Sunday
afternoon, Feb. II at a service
designed by the New York Inter
racial Fellowship for better race
relations in the state and ma
ton.
Bishop w. ]. Walls delivered
the sermon. His subject was Tbs
Age of Brotherhood"
He said in part:
Brotherhood is religious pro-
duct. AT the dawn of history,
God was thought Of as natures
force, asserting itself in myriad
ways. Then man knew no law
but the rights of the strong, with
the weaker their slaves. Jesus
was as orthodox as his race on
the doctrine of God. 1t was
when He turned to human re-
lations that he got into trouble.
Stalking His life on the duty of
men to love one another, Jesus
went to Calvary.
Trapped with barriers Of race,
class, SectarianiSm and obstruc-
tions, economic and political,
that estrange and infuriate, we
must either Shatter or Surmount
them. Differing ideologies stand
groups against one another like
fighting cocks with feathers
briStled and spurs waiting for
a bloody plunge. We are told,
for instance that should zionism
favor Russia, the fires Of Anti
Semitism would fame In Am
erica. Must our Christianity be
practiced under the threat of
Communism? Or shall we have
Christian brotherhood.
Pity the man who says IT have
love for mankind, but in my
heart I cannot use it to help in
