PAGE SIX THE CAROLINIAN Wfj;k ending sati'koav, oct. 13, ini„ New York Showfronts BT DON DE LEIGUBLD NEW ^ORK — Making the Har lem rounds these nights and days is a woman of the theatre whose background is uniQue in thut she has made a national reputation as being a one woman thcatie. Her talents are not confined solely to the stoRe: she is also adept with a typewriter and when she has no en gagements to fulfill one can find her busily writing plays, skiw, sketches, and feature articles for a national news service and also do ing publicity for such odd caracters as prixe fighters. Swarz's b»:kground has prepared her for her venture from her hometown. St. Lrouis dnto New York. A student of Harry R. Mark- land, known throughout the mid west as one of the most able teach ers and directors, as well as Thomas Wood Stevens, director of the Iowa University Little Theatre, Miss Swarz has had many aramatic re citals. She has appeared at Town Hall here in New York, and at such widely different points in the coun try ns the Wiley College in Texas. Xavier University In Dillard at New Orleans, the Junior High School in Wichita. Kansas, a High School in Tulsa. Oklahoma, and the Little Theatre at the Chicago Musica. College. She played a Lit tle Theatre season at Icwn Univer sity, has appeared at Stowe College in St. Louis, Mo., City Auditorium In Texas County. Texas City Audi torium in Savannah, Ga., and others in and in the mid-west. Miss 'Swarz came to Harlem last March and remained for a while, but had to leave in July on account of the death of her father in St. Louis. She Is Qow back in town. Since being in New York, her ver satility has been shown in her work in some movie comedies filmed here in which she is co-starred with Stepin Fetchit, the name of one of which is the “Big Timers." She has also done constructive picture ap pearances for the OPA and appear ed as one of the three Haitian maids in a mixed cast m vie “Voodcu Drums." Lou Swarz has definite ambitions in her inva'-lon of New York. She has intentions of Retting into a Broadway production wheth er musical comedy or drama, and then doing radio and television work. Toward that end, she has successfully auditkmed for radio and may be heard very soon on a coast to coast network show. Always restless and anxious to I be doing something. Miss Swarz could be a capable newspaper wom- and should she so desire. She work ed extensively for the Assiciatcid Negro Pres.s while in St. Louis and now she is writing for the Calvin I New.s Service and doing publicity I for the middleweight championship j contender. Archie Moore. She can write a fight story with the same objectivity of an experienced sports- writer and can also endure the give and take that occurs In a press box full of hard boiled reporters cover ing a fight, ball game, or a tennis ' match. However, as rhe told me. I these things arc only sidelines to keep her busy while waiting for her ! big break to come, j In the summer of l94t she loured , army camps through the courtesy ! of the Salvation Army Chicago Headquarters and was acclaim^ wherever she appeared. Right now. Leu Swarz is taking a co'i.se in jive talk, planning U utilize this Harlem fad in some of her forth coming monologues.
