SEEIN'STARS....
By DELORES CALVIN
NEW YORK—Sidney Poitlcr rcmlniscine about his life, remem
bers when it wasn't too long ago that he was Just a nobody . . . Just
recently celebrating his 32nd birthday, Sidney has come a long way
. and seems like he'll be going to even greater glories when he's
finished with "Raisin In 'Fhe Sun”- (he's due to leave the case in June
for another film) . . . Always a race-conscious boy, he has had his
share of ugly prejudices .... Bom in Miami, he finally found his
career in New York . . . Once, while m Johannesburg, South Africa,
on location with the late Canada Lee in “Cry The Beloved Country,”
Sidney and the cast were forbidden first class accommodations and
were guests of a plantation where tney were virtually prisoners, un
able to travel around or even venture out after dark. In Africa, Sid
ney feels he ran against the worst prejudices—but in Hollywood he’s
became good friends with so many of the young stars—Tony Curtis
especially (he starred with him in “The Defiant Ones" which won them
both an Oscar Nomination; — that many times he forgets he's a
Negro—it's wonderful to feel so integrated, he says ....

The "rums” are still flying that Lena Horne and Ricardo Montal-
ban aren’t on such good terms but if so, there’s no evidence of it in
“Jamaica,” their hit musical . . . Now in its 17th month on Broad
way, "Jamaica” has made a lasting success for such stars as Ossie
Davis, "Cicero” — who thought he was Governor after the hurricane
struck . . . Josephine Premice, who may not be beautiful but she’s
certainly got a lovely pair of legs—and as “Ginger” she spices the
play perfectly ... the 10-year-old boy who plays Lena's brother pals
around with Montalban and lovingly calls Lena “my crazy sister” . . .
As Savannah, Lena has managed to portray a zestful, effervescent
character out to get her man—but wanting it all HER way . . . and
we wonder how it will all come out when filmland gets ahold of it
and starts casting . we wish they’d keep the original cast as they
did in "Auntie Mame” and others—as this cast couldn’t be beat!
Geoffrey Holder, bald giant of a danccr who resembles Yul Bryn-
ner and whose appearance attracts Just as much attention, brought
his dance group to their favorite Village hangout, The Village Gate,
where they Just do it mostly for the art . . . Dizzie Gillespie’s mother,
a lovely old lady in her seventy’s, was given the keys to the city in
his hometown in Mass. when he played a recent engagement there

In an effort to prove that Negro players can work successfully
blended with white ones, there's a two hour show coming up at the
.Majestic Theatre this April 20th—where players of both races will
perform without any color references . . . It's an experiment which
wc are hoping will prove highly adaptable and result in many of
uur good Negro artists getting better and meatier roles. . . The idea
is to see how the public will react—and it's a good angle to first
invite the actors themselves, the press and members of the industry
for criticism lifore trying out before a paid audience ... Titled “In
tegration Showcase,” the show, sponsored by Actors Equity and the
League of N. Y. Theatres, scenes will be from: “The Madwoman of
Ohalllot'’, “The Caine Mutiny Court Martial,” “Room Service,” “Vol-
pone," “Leonard SiHman’s New Faces” and others ... This covers
drama, comedy, musical comedy and ballet . . .
Deep lUver Boys at the Barclay Hotel in Toronto and turning,
away customers . . . The owner A1 Siegal hasn’t made such a mint I
since he took over in June . . . Sarah Vaughn spent Holy Week in|
Chicago playing Mister Kelly’s and wliereas most places were hurt by i
this slow season, Sarah did good business for her boss . . . Cab Cal-'
loway getting set for a South American tour this month . . . Eartha
Kitt rehearsing for her first rucord under Kapp label this week . . .
Langston Hughes, whose “Simply Heavenly,” an off-Broadway
production, was the last time the great poet was represented down
town, was in. the limelight again when his operatic version of “Street
Scene” by Elmer Rice was revived at City Center ... It was such a
success the backers wish for a chance to bring it to Broadway . . .
Mahalia Jackson warbling at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, a
treat fur New Yorkers . . . Juanita Moore, who has the heavy part
played by Louise Beavers years ago in “Imitation of Life” here with
Lana Turner to make personal appearances for the New York opening
of the film at the Roxy April 17th . . .

T(roger Official R^ie^
Trade CommissHNi's Charge
Paxton C. Judge, Division Vice
President of The Kroger Co.
Roanoke, when asked to comment
on the Federal Trade Commission
complaint against The Kroger Co.
replied by quoting Kroger’s Pre
sident, Joseph B. Hall:
“We are shocked by the astound
ing charges that Kroger’s acquisi
tions dating back 51 years are now
deeftied to be in violation of law.
When Kroger has expanded by the
purchase of food stores as it has
from time to time, such acquisi
tions have been made a matter of
public record.”
Certainly the Federal Trade
Commission Staff has known of
these transactions for many, years.
Now to charge that' they are illegal
years, and in most instances de
cades later, is completely at var
iance with the principles of Ameri
can Justice and fair play. Kroger’s
growth has always followed lawful
patterns.
“This complaint appears to us
unwarranted experimentation with
the ahtitrust laws. Moreover it
seems to be completely incon
sistent with the basic tenets of
our free enterprise system.”
We are confident that the final
