Miss Chivers left Minneapolis
this past September to join the
staff of the Phyllis Wheatley
House in Cleveland and this was
her first appearance in a Karamu

bigoted preacher and his demented
wife and neurotic daughter, Alma,
who is played by Miss Chivers.
Doris O'Donnell, drama critic
for the Cleveland NEWS said:
"Connee L. Chivers, as Alma,
has developed an annoyingly high
pitched giggle for her part and
between the treble and stage-hy-
sterics it's a wonder DR.. John ever
cast an eye at her. However, Miss
Chivers does an admirable job
through Is scenes, alternatingly
having love affairs and sounding
off with sel-righteous sermons.
In the Cleveland PLAIN DEAL
Err, critic Glenn c. Pullen wrote:
"Connee L. Chivers plays the
lead role with an emotional fervor
that does draw your sympathy"
Jack Warfel wrote in the Cleve-
land PRESS:
There are moments when the
bleak, pathetic existence Of Alma,
the minister's daughter. comes to
the surface in the acting Of Con-
nee L. Chivers."
Miss Chivers is the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis c. Chivers,

against racism In the Union Of

ment TO deprive Colored voters In
the Cape Province Of their voting
rights, TO cease enforcing Its new
segregation laws until the COM
