ANY expression OF ecstasy you
see on the faces of people COM
ing out of the Capitol Theater
this week probably can be traced
to the presence there of Georgia
Gibbs. Her Nibs is headlining the
stage show which accompanies
"Pony Express" a fairly STAN
dard action film starring Charl-
ton Heston.
Miss Gibbs is something pretty
special among singers, tiny gill
with a large and lifting voice and
a great deal of style. She is no
singer confined to single type
Of song. either. A woman Of in
finite variety. this one.
She can go from a romantic
ballad to the foot-tapping tilt
OF Seven Lonely Days" her cur
rent record hit. She can turn
blues singer for Birth of the
Blues" and get torchy for kiss
of Fire" She does all equally
well. which is very we'll indeed
Before Miss Gibbs appears on
the Capitol stage. the accent is
largely on the comedy of joey
Adams, CHS radio star, racon-
teur and author. Early in the
proceedings Mr.. Adams remarks
that he has not been in America
long, he's been in Alexandria, but
he gets funnier later.
The Adams contribution in
cludes jokes. singing limitations
of Eddie Cantor and Johnny Ray
with the Four Lads and comic
dialogue with Al Kelly. Mr..
Kelly is a past master of double
talk and this is the high point
of the Adams act. A great deal
Of the rest of it is highly funny
business, too.
Before the comic gets into the
act the Four Lads do some rous-
ing singing and before they get
on there's some dancing by Jor-
dan and Parvis. Vaudeville's do
ing all right here this week.

Heston plays Buffalo Bill Cody

factual or fictional one doesn't

The villains this time are a
stage line owner and a foreign

The Technicolor photography

THE CAST
gist who doffed his French na-

gist who doffed his French ma
tionalism to aid the Riffs cause.
BY becoming a thorn in the
flesh of the governing French
armed forces. he not only got
some decent treatment for the
oppressed natives but won the
generals daughter.
In a world as grim as this one,
and in a period Of realistic musi-
Gals, it all seems too painfully
like an inspired fairy tale.
Bruce Humberstone's direction
Of THE Desert Song" has
the embarrassing n tt m t o n
throughout that he might be be-
lieving in it. He goes to great
pains to find Something-that
isn't therein the political i'm
plication of the story.
His picture eludes this plan to
hit its best moments when it
lets Miss Grayson look and sing
very prettily. MacRae also does
a creditable job with the score
Of "The Desert Song" which is
lot more than he does trying
to act like a philosopher -strate-
giSt redeeming the Riffs from
the French yoke.
The comedy of the musical is
generally on the stale side, but
there is one unwittingly funny
touch that keeps bobbing up.
This is when the characters drop
into French to say such things
as eau revoir" and "merci" to
show that they are not entirely
at a loss for what is supposed to
be their native language.
This can get very funny. And
does.

Dear Sir:
Your June lead editorial AT
ter the Supreme Court Decision
Then What" is one to be highly
commended.
1t is well that you challenge
the attitude of few job holders
and, or their benefieiaries who
feel that an end to discrimination
in the educational system will
hurt them: 1t is its continuation
that is fatal to us all.
Generally the Negro. in what
you have called the "upper-braek-
ets", does view the end of dis
elimination as restricting his
market, or job security, or chances
for advancement Is that not
however. due to a false and dan
gerous concept of democracy? Such
individuals have detached h M
selves from their people. They
have created for themselves the
myth of special interests. A re-
fusal to see clearly or align ONE
self unqualifiedly with the fight
to end all discrimination based
on color, creed. national origin,
Or political belief must inevitably
lead to such fatal reasoning as ie
theirs. The interests of the Negro
in the fight against racism are
Joint regardless of differing eco
homie positions. Yet the Negro
who views a blow at segregation
as unfortunate for him or her
is taking a narrow class position
at the expense Of the Negro peo-
pie as whole, in fact at the ex-
pense of our country's future and
its rightful place in world society

iust-a-tittle-raeism The whole civ
iltzed world Is eursing the raeist
attitude of the rulers Of America,
Ii penalties can be placed on the
vast majority of a people III the
interests of minority, most of
that minority will soon begin to
lose its seeming security. Such
minorities are inevitably reduced

Hitler's Germany they constitute

some equally foolish segment.
The issue with which the SUI
preme Court is confronted is
whether it will speak out against
violations of the Constitution Jim
crow runs in the interests of a
small minority of Americans the
ruling clique who owns the coun-
try's natural resources and whose
exploitation of them demands that
the pitting of white against black,
to say nothing of other violations
of human needs and dignity it
demands. The Negro upper braek-
cts" are aligning themselves, even
seeking Identification with these
exploitative and oppressive ele-
ments. They have learned nothing
from history. There were Jews in
Germany who tried this fatal
course.
The administrative and legisla-
tive branches of government con-
front the same issue of raeism and
also decide in favor of the social
group whose interests are now
paramount. Thus, as Woodrow
Wilson once said. the government
does not speak in the interests of
the majority because it does not
represent the interests of the ma
jority. When as Abe Lincoln,
who was no Communist, admon-
ished us: we have a govern
