I Just another week in New York,
I but I’ve had a very little time to
I get out and see very much. In the
I very first place, I have been able
j after all to see some Pasture, and
even “Green Pastures”, and I’m
sure it would equal both beauty
or value of any of Mr. I. B.’s per..
I manent ones.
Thursday afternoon I went down
to Radio City Music Hail, the
‘‘show place of the nation” at
Rockefeller Center and saw tho
picture in its preview showing as
a motion in New York. To describe
the picture would take but one
word, wonderful. But there is
something about it that makes
something run up and down your
spine. “De Lawd” was portraytd
by Rex Ingram. When this picture
comes south be sure you see it.
There is something about it that
makes you think—Yes, think Lord.
Now about the Music Hall—Its
the largest Theatre in the world,
and you can’t take it all in at once
I spent an hour in the lobbied, one
of which is located 50 feet below
the street level. Each of these
(five in all) look like a mansion in
themselves.
After emtering the main hall (I
was up on the third floor) you
marvel at its size, the wonderful
control^ sound and the lighting ef
fects, which are said to be the most
wonderful in the world.
Just a word about the program.
All you men would like to
see the Rockettes, the 24 most
perfectly trained dancers in the
world—and the only good lookmg
girls in New York so far as I’ve
been able to see. (We all should
be proud of the beauty of oui
southland). They went through
their dance with perfect precisioii
as if only one was dancing. Then,
suddenly a 50 piece orchestra
comes from out of the floor, plays
its part, and disappears with the
same ease. Well I could go cn
ail day. You come and see it. I’ll
be looking for Cecil, Wiley and
Oppie next week to see the Rock-
ettes.
Last night I saw, “Dead End’S
the most famous play now in Broad
way, and the greatest children’s
play that has been produced.
Its setting was based in East
Side Neiw York at the Piers and
there it shows the slum and gang
life of boys and the past that
adults could have upon them, es
pecially for the worse. Every
mother and father should see this
play. But be sure and visit East
Side New York before you see it.
Another note—(Don’t sit in the
third balcony in the Belasco Thea..
tre if you want to see the stafc-e.
X had to stand up for 2 and one
half hours — Pity I couldn’t sit
down in the $2.50 seats).
By the way—“On Your Toes”, a
musical comedy and it cost me
$1.65 too, was fine. I know C. T.
and 0. B-. would enjoy seeing it,
not to mention Hobart, Edgar,
Alfred, and Zeb. Then to, it had an
appeal for the ladies, for the cos
tumes were beautiful, simply
beautiful. Some of the prettiest
