Last year when the u. s.
Supreme Court decided that racial
segregation in public education
violated the Constitution, Negroes
throughout the country were
elated.
Few realized that this decision
came about only after years and
years of hard work by many, in
Guiding large groups Of volun-
teer lawyers and social scientists.
Few realized the several humid
red thousands spent on expenses
in these cases.
Hardly anyone ever paused TO
consider the threats and intimida-
tons against the parents of the
school children involved. Most
Americans simply took all Of this
for granted.
Now after the last decision in
these cases, the deep South IS
again showing its hand.
AT least Negroes in Mississippi
have been killed for insisting on
the right 70 vote.
White Citizens Councils are

At the same time, Stewart
points out that the studios
have derived many benefits
from these same deals.
Aside from the money,
Hollywood executives like them

With a grin, he added:

THE PASSING SHOW
We Gamble, Win
On Our Musicals

ron Amphitheater, the big
bowl of debonair culture in
Rock Greek Park. is a quality
product that represents the sp-
proximately opposite pole Of
musical entertainment.
It is a revue. an astonish-
ing exhibit to find in an am
phitheater and the more as
tonishing for retaining its
smart, sophisticated flavor
there. The production, a
Broadway hit, is dominated by
a tumultuously comic perform
ance by Nancy Walker, but it
also is timely in its observa-
ton of life.
Behind the hilarious genius
of Miss Walker, Harvey Lem
beck, Joshua Shelley and the
others is a contagiously anus
ing report on how we live,
with which the spectator has
no trouble identifying his own
existence. The inspiration of
this musicalized commentary
could not be stranger. 1t was

AS Miss Walker and the

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. T.
Changing public tastes during
and since the war has played
hob, Jimmy Stewart says. with
the type of role he always liked
to play on the screen-the one
that has met loudest fan ap-
plause.
Stewart. who describes his
favorite character as "the
boob'-the naive fellow blund-
ering safely through a naughty
world-says war and its after
math killed off the boob.
However. now that our war
filters have subsidized consid-
erably, it might be safe to try
him again. But he never could
be quite the same old foolish
innocent. To a degree, world
unrest has changed all that
forever.
He Was Alarmed
II admit I have specialized
in the dope type during my ca
reer. I like to play a fellow
who gets yanked into some
thing he can't really handle, a
guy who gets pushed and put
upon by other people but
finally manages to muddle
through.

Ours is the casual or Off
hand approach to the popular
music festival idea.
Other cities spend an en-
tire year making plans to en-
terrain their natives, and the
tourists, during the summer
months or a considerable part
thereof.
Not us. Come summer and
quite by the chanciest Of
bookings, we find ourselves
possessed of a period in which

vues are local attractions.
Still. 1t Works
This may not be the way
such things should be man
aged but show us another
center of population, larger
or smaller. where such a glossy
variety Of top-flight popular
musical entertainment is to
be found.
Theater. which is supposed
10 be for the delight of man
kind despite the impression
created by certain dolefu
thinkers in it, could not be
more delightful than in this
sizzling stretch of August. It
gives people something to get
their minds of the transit
strike and the heat If only
they can find ways to get
thier bodies to the National
or Carter Barron Amphithea-
ter.
1.-THE King and l." at the
former, is a musical to cherish
because, among other reasons,
its producers and authors, the
Messrs. Rodgers and Hammer
stein, cherish their high stand
ards. They do not permit their
productions to sag with age,
or to grow weary and become
marred with travel.
This was once again the de-
lightful surprise of those see
ing the musical for more than
the first time last Monday
night. And especially of the
critics. creatures who have
learned that the shabby is
never to be unexpected in the
theater. Well, with the excep-
ton of Rodgers and Hammer
stein shows headed by a star
of such quality as Miss Pa
tricia Morrison.
Its Charm Remains
After almost five years, the
charm of "The King and 7" is
intact and its freshness -- If
comparisons were not so odious
notably above that Of last
summers creditable South
Pacific"
It is true that time and
events have dealt kindly with
the basic story Margaret Lam
don provided for the musical
at the National. Never again
will the peoples Of the East
and West be allowed unaware
ness that they live in the same
world. The broad point Of THE
King and I" is that while their
customs, manners and attitudes
differ, it is possible for these
people to achieve understand
ing. tolerance and even affec-
ton.
Fun in the Park
A musical could not ask for
o more timely theme, nor one
more amusingly, melodically
and touchingly expressed than
in this version of Mrs. Lam
don's story Of an incident
nearly 100 years ago. It's ex-
cellence as a piece of musi-
cal entertainment for theater-
goers of all ages is the pre-
dominantly appealing quality
Of THE King and l." of course.
Nevertheless, the immediacy Of
its theme is also important.
