Sidney Potter
oted Actor At
Southern Univ.

Baton Rouge, La, Feb. 5. =
Southern University is still ringing
in the news this week in Holly
wood setting as Sidney Potter,
veteran Negro actor flew in from
London via New York Monday to
be housed on the campus.
Potter will play the much con-
tended role of Rau Ru, in Band of
Angels, a civil war saga, now be-
ing filmed in Baton Rouge.
The announcement this week by
Director Roaul Walsh, brought to
a close the anticipation of Louis
lana citizens and general specula-
ton as to who would land the
choice spot.
Two Southern University stu
dents, Willie Bailey and William
Lloyd, both juniors, had been cast
for the role. The youngsters read
over parts of the script with Clark
Gable, the main star of the movie.
Even though neither of the two
contending students was chosen a
third youngster, James Thomas,
19-year- old sophomore and speech
major from Lake Charles, has been
chosen as the stand-in for Potter.
The stand-in for the role has been
working with several swamp scenes
over the past few days.
Thomas was chosen over the
ether two students because of his
close physical resemblance to Poi
tier. This bit playing, which has
extended to a rather difficult job
requiring acting ability, will land
for Thomas a listing among the
professional stand-ins.
He is a graduate of w. 0. Bos-
ton High School, Lake Charles and
is the son of Mrs. Jennie Doyle.
Potter Port tee yay) is prob
ably best remembered for his role
in Blackboard Jungle. However,
he has starred in several other
films. Edge of the City, which is
now being shown in New York
City is one with a message in which
Potter starred. It is an adapta-
ton of A Man Is Ten Feet Tall.
The young veteran actor stated
that he has no particular reserva-
tons in playing movie character
izations of the Negro. He has this
to say about plaving the "Uncle
TON roles" The Uncle Tom is al
ways an opportunist and when |
can get across true picture OF
him to the point of where the
Negroes who see the picture can
saw. az could never be an Uncle
Tom. then I feel that 7 have COM
municated and they have gotten
the message"
He said. "This TYNE has a moon
ing. l can't stand the narts which
show NEGRO inst hning there
scratching his head. There is no
meaning and I can't play this type
character"
Potter stated that the host az
+rnss that he has evnr had the on
rortunity to plav with is ono OF tho

Former London Resident Wins
Acclaim For Poetry Publications

Concerning her latest contribu-
ton, the publishers had this to
say: THE subject matter con-
tanned in this new collection of
Madge Acton Mansfield is varied
and is a reflection of her sincerity
and can come only from the
heart, and must, therefor, find a
response in the hearts of others.
1t is seldom we find a collection
of poems with a more pleasing ap-
peal. Her nature poems show a
keen appreciation of beauty. A
lover of dogs, her dog poems re-
veal, sometimes with sadness,
sometimes with humor, her devo-
ton to the pets she has known.
Mrs. Mansfield's sense of rhythm
is distinctly brought out in her
poems and the many portrayals
of life and character are inspiring
and intensely interesting. A book
you will wish to read and own"
An unsolicited compliment came
recently to the poetess from a
reviewer in Chattanooga, Tenn,
which says in part: II heard
John Mccormack singing. I heard
Geraldine Farrar Anne Case :
Margaret Speaks Richard Crooks
: Allen Jones! and thrilled with
all New York to Lily Pons!
Madge Acton Mansfield's Il Heard
a Bird Singing" however, is one
of my favorites of all the beauti-
full music I know.
Literary Music, singing a song
of simple every day delights, un,
complicated and sincere. Sincere

extending a helping hand to any
thing or anyone in distress, be
it tiny bird, puppy or lonely

The officers, guild leaders and
program chairmen of the Women's
Association of the Presbyterian

treat on the banks of Madison

The group started the day with
meditation and a study of the
book of Galatians, each one shar-
ing in the developing of the
theme.
A luncheon, also in the open,
was an interlude for fellowship
between the morning and after
noon sessions when the leaders
were given an introduction to the
falls program of the foreign mis-
sion study of Japan. Reports of
the Leadership Training School
and Synodical at Wooster this
summer, were presented by those
who had attended the sessions.
Guild leaders were also given
their Overseas Sewing Assign
ments for the year.
The group acted favorably on
a new project THE Fellowship
on the Least Coin," and will join
with Christian women from all
over the world in this Fellowship
of Prayer, which originated in the
Far East in the interest of help
ing relieve the great pressures
that assail the women of that part
of the world. That all may have
a share in this great Christian
Movement, Christian women are
asked to save one penny month
to go into an international Fund
for the benefit of Asiatic womer
which will be administered through
