Lillian Smith Coes To Harlem CHI (’AGO “The blighted wasteland of New York City’s black ghet to is as dirty and dist‘ase-rid- den as any you will find in the r. S.,” says Southfrn lib eral white writer Lillian smith ill the June EBONY, “but tiie bi^' difference in Harlem is thiit everyone there is given a human being’s chlance to outgrow the filth and spialor” Miss Smith, author of the best sellers “Strange Fruit” and “Killers of The Dream,” visited Harlem because the very word in itself has a thousand different meanings. “The white Southern le- niagogue made Harlem st‘em a sinful word like Sodom and (foinorrah, ” Jliss Smith siiys in the article she wrote espe cially for EBONY. “To the Xegro in tl^(* snuUI Southern towihs and on the farms Har lem means hope — escape.” But there is hope in Harlem, Miss Smith insists because there is a lack of both the vis ible and invisible signs of revial pressure which kill hope. She says of the poverty and rubble and waste in Har lem: “These troubles are eau.sed by the invisible pressures of j)overty or tllwt ghostly pow er we call culture. And each l)('rson has that human right to outgrow it.

But you can have your jet propulsion, your celophane wrappings, your aluminum elevators with down-draft carburetors, and your freezer lockers in the basement. To me the most wonderful things in the world are peo ple .. . how they think, feel and react. I recently met a fellow named Frankie who ii.sed to be a peddler of evergreens from dMir to door in thew swank new developments. Frankie would have called himself a young ‘punk,’ ami probably he would have been right . . . but Frankie hail an aim ileep down in.^ide of hint Born of poor parents, Frankie always lived in the slum section of a little Jersey town. Frankie saw how ‘the other side’ lived, for he was one of them. He didn’t have to go slumming. He lived in the slums all the time. But Frankie had an ambition. He ilecided that by the time he was 30 he wanted to have a thousand dollars for every year of his life. In other words . . . by thi‘ time he \\as thirty. And he worki*i towards that i-nd. Frankie knew that he wasn’t getting the $30,000 ped dling evergreens, so he put his mind to work, and finally he came up with a gimmick. . .an idea. Frankie’s idea was a good one. It was one ihat really worked. I won’t tell you what it was, for that’s anotlser story . . . but within two years Frankie’s business has grossed over a million dollars, and I kind of think Frankie has that 30,000 clams. Frankie hius the lx>t and he’s still shy about twelve mon ths of being thirty. His aim has been reaclu'd. So now the logical question is . . . whjy does Frankie want $30,000 on his 30th birthday? Does he want to buy a home? I can answer ‘no’ to that one because Frankie has bought an old farm house for his o\yn family and his parents. Does he want a yellow convertible? I don’t think so. Frankie doesn’t own a car, but then he likes his farm house and he doesn’t want to go anyplace. This fonid go on indefeinitely, so 1 asked him. “Frankie, why do you want that $30,(KM)? What are you finally going to tlo with it?” “Cab,” he said. “I come from poor folks and I always lived in poor neighborhoods. I never had enough, clothes and I knew a lot of kids that never had enough food to eat. We didn’t always eat so good ourselves. “You know, there are a lot of kids today who don’t have clothes to wear and don't eat so gooil, either. What I'd like to do is to start off next Christmas and give a bang up party for all of the poor kids in this town witlv food and fun. and clowns and all . . . and then give them clothes tii wear and food to eat. I been poor mys«‘lf. I know how they’d like that . . . and I don’t need the dough !' ’ And that’s why I like people better than an3rthing! NCC Thespians Play To Packed House At Livingstone SALI8HrUY — The SRO sign was hung out early here Fritlay night when the North (’arolina College Thespians, un- diT the dircctitm of Miss Mary Hohanon, were presented in “Wutbering Heights” by Uic local Livingstone College Thes pians. Th(‘ new Julia H, Dun can Little Theater really lived up to ts name and then stune, for it was a little bit too little for the ovei-flow crowd many of whom stood in chairs in the liaJIway or sneaked backstage to watch the Durham players iv(> a mastx'i'^y performance of the |)(>rennial melodrama. It is difficult to say just who tui-ned out to be the master ac tor or acti'css here Friilay night. All were able performers in their njlcs. Simeon Ht^IIoway was superb in his portrayal of Hindley Earnshaw and seemed never to be out of character in his lush l»ieee; even the British accent was not wanting.

Some L'ave tjie visitors a slight edge, but none said that the Im-als were better. However, it is diffi cult to ai'rive at iuiy conclusions .since most of the opinions were ba.sed upon the local players’ rendition of “The Silver Cord” and the visitors’ performance of “Wutbering Heights.” Xouctheless, the visitors were more than they were cracked up to be in their exchange appear ance for the local Thespians ren dition of “The Silver (,’ord” at the Durham College a week earlier.
