Actress Dea St. Lamont was offered several film offers
while she was vacationing recently in the Carribean. Those
stories that the beai^ifijl actress married a Saudi Arabian
shiek are untrue.'but she did date a long time friend, who
just happens to be a No. African shiek.
Celebrity clothing designer Jerome Lavender finally
made up his mind and left Manhattan for a plush apart
ment and salon in Hollywood. Jerome, who has designed
for most of the top names in show business, including
Sammy and AHovtse Davis, tells me that he is considering
an offer to launch a retail line of his custom designs. While
chatting in the salon with Jerome we were joined by
former Dawn member Joyce Vincent Wilson who came by
to select a few items for her Radiovision appearance in
Dallas, Texas. Joyce hopes that the musical will be as hot
as that Dawn recording about yellow ribbons being tied
around old oak trees.

smiles worn by the SOS group was more than enough. (

more different news events in each
five-minute broadcast.
This traditional network radio
format, however, does not permit a
probing look at how the event of the

Mr. jacKson said uiai, axe nun.
the new network will broadcast
five-minute newscasts every hour
from 6 p.m. to midnight. Initially,
the American Black Information
Network hopes to have 50 affiliated
stations across the country that'
will carry these broadcasts.
“In broadcast journalism, Mr
Jackson said, “the limitations of
time make it necessary for news
broadcasts to cover a story in two
or three sentences, rather than in
tvvopr three columns of newspaper
space. ..iot
"Nonetheless, we recognize that
it is essential that certain stories
