forced Twist king Chubby Checker
oti the list of performers for an
upcoming NAACP benefit show
here.
The fireworks came at a rock *n’
show emceed by Disc Jockey
George Woods at the Uptown
Theetpr.
Woods announced the benefit
show, set for March 15 at Conven
tion Hall, and was checking off the
names of the scheduled performers
for the audience of more than 2,-
000 teenagers, when he was sudden
ly interrupted by boos and catcalls.
So angrily did the kids react
that Weeds was famed to with
draw Checker’s name In order
to calm them. He said he fear
ed the demonstration would get

Teenagers, many of them former
Checker fans, hooted and shouted
and waved clenched fists when the

LATE HATTIE McDANIEL EN
SHRINED IN HOLLYWOOD'S
WAX MUSEUM
BT CALLA BCRIVNER
HOLLYWOOD (ANP) -1 have
made many trips to the famous
Movieland Wax Museum in Buena
Park, Calif., but was never so plea
santly surprised in my life as last
week when, during my stroll a
round the unique, red-carpeted in
terior, I suddenly came upon the
figure of the late Hattie McDaniel.
There she stood, life-like, ih a
crisp, white apron, holding a tray
of drinks in her hands. She stood
in a garden, and nearby, in an al
cove, stood beautiful Scarlett O’-
Hara (Vivien Leigh) and the hand
some Rhett Butler (Clark Bable) of
the famous Academy Award ell
time record money maker, "Gone
With the Wind.”
Hattie, the first and only Nefcro
woman to date to win an Academy
Oscar, had captured the best sup
porting actress trophy for her role
in that film. Everyone will recall
the dramatic role she played in the
civil war film. Her acting all but
overshadowed the splendid perfor
mances of the leading stars of the
picture.
Hattie, who began her career as

ter in the day, Woods tried his luck
with another, more mature audi
ence but got virtually the same re
action.
Fortunately, Checker was not
present.
Commenting on the demon
stration at the earlier show, one ob
server remarked. “The kids are
mad as hell with Checker." The
man, who reportedly asked not to
be quoted, suggested that they are
angry because Checker ia passing
up "The colored chicks to marry
that white gal.”
The white girl referred to It
21-year-eld Catherine Ladders
of Harlem, Holland, Mss World
of 1963. Checker. 21, wheee reel
name Se Ernest Evans, met her
during e show In Manila, Phil
ippines. He announced their en
gagement on Dec. 12, 1962, ot a
highly pre-publicised news con
ference.
Apparently, there were many
young Negro girls in the theater
audience here last week who were
just plain jealous of Miss Lodders
for landing the young millionaire
a singer and night club entertainer,
earned SISOO-a-week salary as a
star of the “Beulah Show,” in her
latter years.
I' vou ever have a chance to viiit
the museum, you, too, will be thrill
ed by the realistic figure of Miss
Hattie that seems about to speak
to you. In fact, it was so vivid, that
I rushed up to the set and said, “Hi,
Hattie,” without thinking. It was
the same Hattie whom I last saw
on a visit with Madam Sul-te-Wan:
the same broad pleasant counten
ance, the exact physical measure
ments and characteristic pose.
Hattie was an important “first”
in Hollywood. Although the was
sometimes criticized for the menial
roles she played, no one can doubt
that she was truly a great and tal
entei netrerr c.v.* s£rvc£ Jic*
pose in that she paved the way
for the higher type roles for Ne

As teenagers stood in their seats,
cupped their hands before their
mouths and shouted unprintable
names at every mention of Check

calm the crowd. He pleased for
them to show "good taste”, but fi
nally threw up his hands and de
clared: V)

Data IT Chatter
BY DARCY DEMILLE
CHICAGO (ANP)—From Holly
wood to Harlem . .
An open letter to Bill Doggett
and Etta James:
Dear Bill and Etta,
For quite awhile now, you have
been bouncing around the country
meeting and playing to your fane
in packed houses, I might add.
It has been hard work, appearing
in Kansas one day, Ttxas the next
But It has all been worthwhile, es
pecially when you trotted over to
the bank. It surely has been re
warding too, to hear the crowds
screaming praise, clamoring for
more of your particular brand of
talent.
But something is rotten in Den
mark, as the man said. The blame
might not be yours. And if It isn’t,
now is the time for you to speak
up and let your fans know just
where you stand.
A few days ago, you were sched
uled to appear tn a small Michigan
town. I happened to have been on
the scene and I tell you a near riot
occurred when angry fans were
turned back at the door with the
indifferent words: “The Stars didn’t
show!”
The ’Stars’ didn’t show! That’s
what the public was told! That’s
all they were told! There must have
been a good reason for the Can
cellation of the show—but the
Ciuvtu UU4J kiiutta Hull Bill Doggott
and Etta James ’didn’t show up’ ...
This isn’t the first time this sort
of thing has happened. I have sjgcks
of mail on my desk from angry’ and
disappointed fans (small “f") _in
tnls case because the tone of tlieir
letters reveal they are no longer
fans.
You must remember, oh favored
ones, that to the teenager in a small
town, the appearance of a guest
celebrity U a big thing! Plans are
made weeks ahead to attend the
show; Oldsters too, welcome a night
out, make plans to see their favor
ite ‘name’ in person. After all, you
can take just so much of television.
In one particular midwestern
town, six ‘stars’ have cancelled
shows within the past five months
No explanation given. Just no show.
If the promoters are using you,
Bill, Etta, Ruth, and the rest of you
who have cancelled ou{, it is high
time you made It known that you
are not at fault”

tween North Carolina and the West

In recent weeks, the gossip mills
