RIOS ALIND RUSSELL,
whose exciting clothes in
"Auntie Name" have created
quite a stir, didn't disappoint
her admirers last night at the
after-theater party given by
the Danish Ambassador and
Nine. de Kaufman.
Wearing a SumptuouS Dior
Of pale mauve satin, with
matching bag and shoes, the
delightful actress arrived after
the Smith College benefit per-
Torrance of her new hit at
the National Theater.
The de KauffmannS had a

Kaufman is a Smith gradu-
ate herself. Also, Miss Russell
is married to the son of Carl
Brisson, famous Danish enter
tainer.
Most of the guests, Smith
alumnae and their husbands,
were ecstatic over Miss Rus
sells gowns in "Auntie Name"
Designed by Travis Banton, the
gowns were meant to be dra-
matte yet not overdone, Miss
Russell explained.
That is why wanted them
done by a couturier, rather
than a costume designer" she
added.
And according to Producers
Robert Fryer and Lawrence
Carr and Director Morton Da-
Costa. who accompanied the
star to the party, Miss Russell
is just like the clothes she
described. They say she's got a
wonderful sense of glamor and
the dramatic, but none of the
temperament and other trap
pings of prima donnaS.
Among those attending the
party were the Netherlands

ballot and in this has the key TO
the situation. In the last analysis
the issues that are today vex-
ing must and will be settled at
the ballot box. Much of the ado
and rancor currently tearing at
the vitalS of the South are matters
Of politics and very few of the
Negrophobes' ailments cannot be
cured at the ballot box. 1t is true
that for the most part the South's
rural Negroes are voteless; but
more and more the South, like the
nation is becoming urban and can
become powerful balances OF
power if rightly led by Negroes
who care more about the welfare
of Negroes than they care about
newspaper headlines and popu-
larity in general.
There was never a time when
selfessness among Negro leaders
would pay greater dividends. For
instance, we have a potential vote
here in Virginia of over 100000
which is used as a balance Of
power vote could influence any
election. If Negroes could muster
a hundred thousand votes Senator
Byrd would never dare to enunci-
ate his massive resistance" ap-
peal to the South in an attempt to
circumvent the Supreme Courts
decision.
If Negroes can be taught to
utilized their limited votes as
balance of power weapons, 1t
will become more and more dan
gerous politically for our poll
ticians to make anti-Negro pro-
nouncements from press and
platform. It is up to Negro leader
ship to train the Negroes to vote
for their own protection! The bal
lot protest is more effective.

SAGA OF
HARLEM PARISH

A PLACE OF ADVENTURE, by
John n. johnson. The seabury
Press, 1855. IA pages. $2.25
This story OF the more than
four thousand church members
and various other souls who have
been influenced by st. Martins
Church in the Harlem section OF
New York City is saga well
worth the reading for anyone in
terested in dynamic Christianity.
The Rev. DR.. John II. Johnson
has rendered a great service in
the writing of "a Place of Ad-
venture" he has shown how a
church can nurture Christian life
in its community, regardless of
the problems that community may
be facing.
The author gives truly inspir-
ing description of life in the most
complex area of this country's
m o I complex city. His con-
trast between the views of Harlem
as seen through the eyes of in
terested spectators and as seen
by participants in its life throws
new light on the situation.
DR.. Johnson's brief sermons,
which form a large portion OF his
book, are typical of the direct,
simple manner in which he ap-
plies sound Christian philosophy
to complex and difficult problems.
Another section of the book con-
tains numerous sam2les of let
tiers received by DR.. Johnson
from residents of Harlem. The
warmth of these letters is in
dicative of the Pensioners re-
lance upon their rector's SYM
pathetic understanding, inspira-
ton, and ability to help them
know more of the ways of God
and man.
Major events in the life of St.
Martins are dramatically re-
corded-the visits of the Queen
Mother of England, and the
Queen of Holland; the congrega-
TONS purchase of a fine carlton
from Holland; the two great fires
that destroyed the edifice, and the
phoenix-like rise of a renewed
church within the Quilted walls.
DR.. Johnson, in a kindly vein,
has analysed the Harlem COM
munity and has wisely found the
places where st. Martins Church
could do fine work for God and
for His children who re clustered
there. He has brought all the
teaching, tradition, liturgy, music,
architecture, and inspiration OF
an ancient Church to meet
modern problem in a complex
situation. The book is indeed well
named-"A Place of Adventure"
