Ukibwi' an '* community nairus to draw Rowe out of the
*1 barn I Ilk'- a n. . m whisking a rabbit out ot a
| h.it
wW ll' "' i arm- int. pa lure thusly:
■BMHL MB "The names columnist Rowe and photogra-
Nrll Kiuv ll ph' r Chick Solo. >n were enterr-d in the race, th'-
Amsterdam Neu-, bamed. when one of the May
' or s campaign supporters suggest* .1 that a Negro newspaperman b>
named in the hop. that the Police Department's public relations in
I Harlem would be improved.
The Amsterdam, still keeping a straight face, reported further
", . . When supporters of the various candidates voiced surprise
that the columnist was being considered, one member of the
Mayor Impejlit. rri's unofficial family brought in the name of Mr.
•Solomon "
The quote from the member of the Mayor’s unofficial family"
was stated in the news story as being:
“I have obwned this fellow. Solomon, for years, and I am
convinced tie'll make a far better leader for the colored people
I than any of the others we’ve talked about.’*
(May I interrupt at this point to say that although I don't hold
much brief for the majority of the politicals luminaries of Harlem. I
think the member of the Mayor’s brood was guilty of a slight over
statement 71
Continue with the Amsterdam News saga:
"When other administration advisors persisted in laughing off
Mr. Solomon as Seventh Deputy Commissioner, the name of prize
fighter Ray 'Sugar Ray’ Robinson was mentioned as a possibility.
He was one of the Mayor’s few personal friends uptown, it was
reasoned, and was far more popular than either Rowe or Solomon.
"Then came the compromise, friends of the pugilist say. The
mayor summoned both Robinson and Rowe to his office Tuesday and
placed his problem before them.
"And to the surprise of all concerned, Robinson withdrew as a
possible candidate and threw his support to Rowe. The Mayor, it is
said, promptly gave the Rowe candidacy his official blessing and
called in Mr. Tierney to make the announcement.
"Inquiries as to why Mayor Impelliterri had accepted Mr.
Robinson's recommendation so readily brought the information
that the former middleweight champion of the world had been
one of the few Harlemites to contribute financially to the cam
paign of ’lmpy’".
End of Amsterdam quotes. The Amsterdam Is Republican-minded
and isn't always the most factually correct sheet in the business, but
the version given makes about as much sense as any of the others
wafting around town. It also makes for more subdued reprinting than
the word-of-mouth rumors passed along like wild-fire.
The whole situation is pregnant with enough dynamite to blow
the political top off City Hall when the next election rolls around—if
not before.
The New York dally newspapers, with the exception of the
New York Post, have been suspiciously quiet. The Hearst papers
In particular. If Impellitteri had appointed a white theatrical
columnist to a police commissioner’s job, the dallies here would
have seized hold of It tike a hungry mastiff going for a juicy
steak bone. The quiet disturbs me. These daily press boys don’t
ordinarily slip up a chance for a blast. Something's cooking.
Something may simmer along for awhile until the downtown
laddies get a chance to clock the deal.
If I were Billy Rowe, I'd tell Mr. Impellitteri thanks for every
thing, but NO THANKS! If Billy takes the post, he’s going to be
under the hammer from so many different directions he’ll never
know where the last rabbit punch came from. The anti-Impellitteri
forces uptown afid downtown will dig up and go into every aspect
of his personal life, his newspaper career. The hatchet boys will be
out in full pack.

FILM REVIEW: “David and Bathsheba” opened at the Rivoli
theatre on Broadway with one of the biggest premiere ballyhoos
ever given a film here. It is drawing standees and block-long
lines. Is it that good?
If you’re expecting a super opus in the DeMille tradition, you’ll
be disappointed. “David and Bathsheba” is a biblical picture. It is too
deep for children and most teen-agers. It is probably too serious for
many adults. The most significant thing about the picture is Gregory
Peck’s amazingly mature portrayal of David, the king who lost
faith and found It again. Unfortunately. Susan Hayward, who for
my money is one of the top members of Hollywood's cold potato
league, freezes over the role of Bathsheba. She just isn’t pliant enough
to make the part believable. It is Peck who carries the picture.
There is one scene which makes the audience restive. The prayer
acene. Peck, trying desperately to find God again, prays before the
Ark of the Covenant. Henry King, who directed "David and Bath
sheba" should have known better. It is well nigh impossible for the
camera to sustain a mood as long as the prayer Jbene lasts. There is
always a point at which audience Interest, having reached a peak,
drops off satiated. The prayer scene goes on and on. If this scene had
been attempted by one of the Hollywood Hams, it would have drawn
audible comments. It is a tribute to Gregory Peck’s interpretation of
David that people merely squirm and twist in their seats.
Adultery is classified under Great Love in “David and Bathsheba”.
For less sophisticated minds, the film may be a go-signal for knocking
off unwanted husbands. A warmer actress taking the role of Bath
sheba would have made Peck’s tremendous passion and confused soul
seem worth the sacrifice. Hayward, in spite of the red hair, is a
Hollywood star, acting a star role. As far as I can recall, Miss Hay
ward hasn’t changed expression in any one of her frequent film en
deavors. There is a difference between restrained acting and complete
lack of mobility.
"David and Bathsheba" misses true film greatness by a
margin, mostly because Hayward can’t keep pace with Peck and
because director Henry King got carried away on occasion, with
the sweep of It all.
