"She thought people would rush to
the theater because of Connie Bennett
Presents" Israel Field says. "You can't
fool people. You must give them shows
of quality with important people and
fine music. They don't want limitations"
The Field Brothers got their chance
the following year. They brought with
them a far-flung "shOw-biz" corpora
ton, still headquartered at their old
Seventh street office. By this time they
had expanded from drugs and sundrieS
to the record business to the produc-
ton business; had put on Negro spiri-
tuals at Griffith Stadium and Uline
Arena and Vaughan Monroe at Con-
stitutiOn Hall, and had sent packaged
shows GIVE had the top 20 artists from
the Hit Parade'O on tours throughout
the country.
So they brought into the Carter
Barron operation a combination of
"shOw-biz" know-how and the bark.
mans pitch, pinning their hopes on the
conviction that variety would prove to
be the spice of the amphitheater's life
and that people would come ifyou gave
them value at bargain prices.
The Field Brothers have never
raised their prices which range be-
tween SITS and $685. and as a special
inducement offer the value book"
seasons book Of tickets that includes
everything from free admissions to
reductions in prices on record albums
at the Super Music Stores.
If their operation lacks the dignity
Of a Constitution Hall production,
there is no arguing with its success.

But the Field Brothers, Israel and
Irwin, who run the Carter Barron Am
phitheater, would appreciate it if the
weather people would leave out of
their predictions such words as rain"

the period extending from tomorrow to
September l, which happens to be the
season for their operations in Wash

Weather predictions we don't

Tomorrow the Field Brothers will
open their 10th consecutive season in
what once was one of Washingtons
most controversial public enterprises
with a concert by Pianist Roger
williams.
There are still those who object to
the Field Brothers as operators of a
GOvernment-built, GOvernment-owned
project. They have not been heard
from lately because the Field Brothers
have made success ofwhat almost be-
came an $500, 900 fiascO.
The FIELDS may have a crassly CON-
mercial ring about them, with their
Super Music Stores, Super Attractions,
Inc, their tie-up with National record
ing concerns and the Ringing Brothers
Circus, but they have cut the weeds out
from around the amphitheater that at
one time was looking like a white ele-
plant with red face.
Show production even by experts
is risky business = note the number of
Broadway flops sand the Government
perhaps should have known better.
Nonetheless, taxpayer dollars were
appropriated by Congress to construct
the outdoor arena and the whole bust
ness originally hung on the success ola
patriotic pageant, Faith of our Fa-
TIERS" by Pulitzer Prize playwright
Paul Green. Arena and pageant were
dreamed up to help celebrate this

the dreaming saw the pageant as pack

At this point the Field Brothers,
sons Of a Hagerstown (Md.) clothing
store owner who began their spread

drug store on Seventh street, stepped
in to reactivate the arena for nine

ONE YEAR TO LIVE!

The train was speeding at 70
miles an hour across northern In
diana. Two women passengers
were engaged in animated conver-
sation. The one had just finished
recounting the terrible experiences
of her husband in the South Pac-
ific.
Finally she was heard to say:
The doctors give him only one
more year to live; so he's working
almost night and day on his in
Vention."
One year to live! What would
YOU do II you knew that this year
was your last? No matter what
other plans you make, none could
be more important than getting
right with God.
Getting right with God involves
two things. The first Is an honest
acknowledgment Of our unworth-
iness in His sight, a frank con-
fession Of our sins.
And the second Is a firm reli-
ance upon the atoning death Of
Jesus Christ not only for the
sins of the world In general but
for our sins in particular.
Whether we have one year to
live or so, there still is nothing
more important for us right now
than getting right with God. Life
knows no greater purpose.

Looking back on the 194s-62

The decision was the combIna-

with its history and history Of our

From this decision has flowed
a series of court decisions making
it clear that segregation is a dead
letter in every area of public ac-

"Implementation Of school de-

it become a reality.

It is not always easy to apologize

To admit error, To be unselfish

To forgive and forget, To shoulder
a deserved blame,
But it always pays.

PILGRIM BAPTIST

Worshippers at Pilgrim Baptist
Church on Sunday, Feb. oath heard
DR.. Floyd Massey, Jr., preach
from the topic "As The Hypo-
critics Are. The text was taken
from Matthew 6:5.
The minister defined the term
"Hypocrite" as one who wears a
mask. DR.. Massey continued by
explaining that there are two
kinds of hypocrites (1) the
type that may tend to be better
than he is or the type that may
tend to be worse than he Is.
Examining further the types, the
minister told the worshippers that
one of the greatest sins Of a
Christian was pride; pride over
goodness is the worst kind Of
pride. The radical hypocrite {.
those who pretend to be worse
than they are. They also have
their pride as does the self r1ghte-
GUS hypocrite. Why does one as
sumo this role? The minister an
swered by pointing out that wrong
was more up to date than right.
Wrong is more exciting than right
or cooperation. Some of us feel
that we can only maintain our
individuality as long as we are
non-conformist.
In conclusion the minister told
the worshippers that the Christian
faith helps us to live above pre-
tense. When we have the deep abid-
ing faith, we realize that we are
ali sinners. We will realize that our
goodness is not to be compared
with the goodness of others but
only with the goodness Of God.
Once we are awakened unto these
realities; it is then and only then
that we can rid ourselves Of the
bonds of pretense.
Uniting with the Church was

guests included Miss Carolyn v.

Dawson about the meeting. II did
not agree to meeting until Daw-
son told me that as a minister I
did not have to be afraid to talk
to anybody" Hylton said. So he
agreed to the coffee shop meeting.
Hylton said that at the meeting
Cain told him that the sheriff was
tired "of all this newspaper pub
ncity" and would leave the minis
ters and their aides alone If they
would conduct themselves with
dignity" He also said Cain pre-
dicted that Sheriff OgilWe, a Re-
publican, would run for governor
and wanted some help" against
the Democrats. The bishop said he
told Cain II am not a stool pige-
on"
Hylton said that at the end Of
the meeting, Cain pushed his soup
aside, stood up, and both men
grabbed him and said he was under
arrest. Moran then produced an
envelope containing $3.50 and said
I had offered it to him as a bribe,"
the bishop declared.
In connection with the shake
down attempt, Bishop Hylton said
he kept a tape recorder going dur
ing his conversation with Krauss.
Police said Krauss did not have
any official credentials from the
sheriff's office.
