The second was "Pitch a Bopgie Woogie" and starred Herman Forbes and Tom Foreman, a longtime Greenville community leader who died in 1977. The two portrayed chums who muse about opening a nightclub and then dream of the good times they would have there. "The film has that dream of being a star, of making great movies or books ? a dream that so many people have," Albright i said. / Much of the film consists of singing, tap-dancing, soft-shoe and mildly exotic dance routines by scantily dressed women, "The type of dance depicted was the kind of thing we saw in the traveling minstrel shows," said Forbes, now a retired elementary school teacher from High Point who was chosen North Carolina teacher of the year in 1975. Before "Pitch a Boogie Woogie" could be released to black theaters around the country, Warner had a quarrel with a distributor, and the film never got outside North Carolina j|Qd South Carolina.
