The WAY I SEE IT
★ BY NELL DODSON RUSSELL
NEW YORK —"He put me to bed at the hotel and then he went
to the Stork Club for lunch,” fighter Jackie Graves said, nodding
towards columnist Percy Villa.
The three of us were sitting at a table in
Sugar Ray Robinson's uptown bistro. Jackie was
sowing his Manhattan wild oats by drinking a
bottle of Seven-Up through a straw.
"That was a nasty, mean trick,” I told Percy,
looking him straight in the eye. Mr. Villa didn't
even blush.
"He did it,” Jackie stated flatly and re
turned his attention to the Milton Berle pro
gram on the television set in the front of the
bar. He seemed to be much more interested in
Nll R 11 what Uncle Miltie was doing on video and how
Sugar Kay had furnished his well-appointed
drinking establishment than in having missed a junket to the
Stork Club.
In order to give Mr. Villa the benefit of the doubt, I’ll admit
Jackie had a bad cold and that it was probably better tor him to have
sought the seclusion of a hotel bed than spread cold germs all over
the Stork Club —not that I am worried about the state of health of
the customers of Mr. Sherman Billingsley’s plush nitery.
Percy did explain he’d gone to the Stork with Merle Jones, for
merly of WCCO and now some kind of big rumble in the radio in
dustry here. He also explained he’d gone to the Stork Club for lunch,
but he probably couldn't have made it for supper. There’s a difference
y’know. After dark the Stork becomes off-limits for everyone ex
cept VlP’s, Veddy, Veddy Important People. Or someone smuggled in
by Veddy, Veddy Important People.
Mr. V. and Mr. G. had picked me up downtown after night school
classes and we'd streaked up Fifth Avenue in Mr. G's yellow Cadillac.
I am not using the word "streaked” loosely. Jackie wasn't used to
traffic signs suspended in mid-air above intersections as they are on
some thoroughfares here. As a result, we missed most of 'em. When
we weren’t missing traffic signs, taxicabs and buses were missing us
—a rare tribute to the split-second dexterity of Manhattan cab and
bus drivers.
All the way uptown Percy was complaining about the lack of
great open spaces in this man's town. No bathing beaches, no
parks except Central Park. Jackie broke in with the observation
that he lived practically right on a lake but he didn’t make like a
fish.
“Do YOU ever go swimming?” I inquired of Mr. Villa.
"He doesn't even get his feet wet,” Jackie commented before Mr.
V. could think up a fast answer.
We arrived at Mr. Ray Robinson's place of business by making a
left U-turn on 125th Street and Seventh Avenue, the heart of Har
lem's main stem. I've never seen it done before so I’m not quite sure
whether or not it's according to custom. We did it. A gendarme
crossing the intersection on the other side was looking somewhere
else. I was hoping that if he did put his peepers on us, we were either
legal or the Minnesota license would save us from saying ’’Good
Morning, Judge”, came the dawn's early light.
Sugar Ray was sitting in the office of Ray Robinson Enter
prises next door to his bar. Jackie walked in and the two talked
briefly. The conversation was apparently mutually satisfactory
because Jackie came out with a pleased look on his face. Inside
the bar business wasn't any better than It Is in other bars these
days. The cash customers don't exactly fight each other for stand
ing room at most of the drinkeries here. Of course on fight
nights, the business booms at Sugar’s place—particularly when
he’s the guy In the ring.
We stayed about an hour during which time Mr. Graves didn't
change bottles of Seven-Up. That was the longest bottle of Seven-Up
I've ever seen. If Mr. G. hasn't put his endorsement on the product,
somebody handling his public relations is slipping.
Jackie was impressed with the Champ's place and he didn't
try to hide the fact. Ray Robinson is the kind of fighter who
symbolizes Champion right down to the last letter. He’s good
looking. nattily-groomed, sure of himself. He's a successful busi
ness man and he's married to a beautiful wife. He's the antithesis
of the ring-scarred illiterate doomed to wind up punchy and broke.
Sugar Ray's main danger now is letting the fact that the power
ful Walter Winchell has smiled on him go to his head. If he’s
smart enough to quit while the quitting's good, Robinson should
wind up his old age in comfort and security.
I asked Jackie Graves how he felt about fighting.
“I like to fight," Mr. G. said. He isnt’ exactly the garrulous type.
Out of the ring he is quiet and likeable, or at least he appears to be
from what I saw of him during our brief encounter. I can’t say I’ve
always appreciated his antics inside the ring but whether that was
partly due to a peculiar brand of ring officiating the like of which
I’ve never seen outside of Minneapolis, I don’t know.
Jackie is planning some fights in the east. He told me he'd
like the championship even if he didn't hold it for more than one
fight. For his own sake. I hope that If he gets his noodle knocked
off too badly in the process ot trying, he’U hang up his gloves
and retire to the quiet life.
It was interesting meeting Mr. J. G. cold, Cadillac and all. I
wish him the best of luck.
* * ★
One thing I learned years ago. If you snitch items from other
sources without giving credit, you can’t blame anybody but yourself
if the stuff bounces right back on your haid.
Last week I reprinted something from Variety Magazine, ’’The
Bible" of show business, to the effect that movie star Ginger Rogers
had been nixed out of a Constitution Day celebration sponsored by the
National Association of Manufacturers because she was, Variety said,
too chummy with extreme right-wing elements on the West Coast.
Comedian Henry Morgan, in spite of a listing in "Red Channels",
emceed the show. This was a big departure from former NAM policy.
The September 26 edition of Variety carried a letter from
Harry Buck, manager of the New York Regional Office of NAM,
which stated Miss Rogers didn't appear became she had previous
commitments. Mr. Buck wrote Henry Morgan wasn’t “employed”
to appear by NAM, but did "kindly act as master of ceremonies.”
Well, anyhoo, Brother Morgan headed up the show as M.C. even
though he appears in "Red Channels." Whether he was "employed"
or "kindly acted”, he was there. This proves something-or-other, but
goodness knows what.
There’s no such thing as an "infallible source" these days and
even the oldie about a "usually reliable source" gets a kicking around.
MOVIE REVIEW— “The Well,” a film that starts out with some
rather obviously contrived race relations gimmicks, boils to a climax
midway and then levels off to straight drama. Critics here have gone
all-out for the picture.
The plot, the dramatic part, Is based on the Kathy .Fiscus
case of awhile back but gets off to a start on a race relations kick.
A little Negro girl disappears on her way' home from schooL She
falls down an old well in a meadow, but because she has been
seen with a white stranger before her disappearance, the rumor
gets started she has been kidnapped. The nimor Is exaggerated
until is becomes a series of wild stories that erupt into mob vio
lence. Negroes and whites who have lived together In harmony
for years in a small town suddenly find themselves divided Into
two hostile, murderous camps. Harmony is restored for a peace
ful solution and a happy ending. Before the finale there Is sus
pense and tension enough for everyone from Junior to Grandpa.
The applause from the audience at the end of the picture when I
saw it opening day at Loew’s State Theatre on Broadway proved the
film got its message across. The message? Tragedy brings human
beings together and shows us we’re all made of the same mold.
There is no attempt to make the Negroes in the picture either
too noble or too humble. There is no attempt to make the whites
too understanding or too bigoted. Madie Norman and Ernest
Anderson turn in sincere and touching acting jobs at the parents
of little Gwendolyn Lester who plays the lost Caroline.
Dan Rober as the sheriff makes the role of a law enforcement
officer buckihg forces almost out of control, a convincing portrayal.
The whole cast of comparatively unknowm actors makes "The Well" a
Must See film. Your eyes may fill with tears once or twice and your
heart will tug at your conscience.

THE PUPPY: Last Friday morning when Mr. Russell came home
from work at 3 a. m. (He works on the night crew at Ward's Baking
Company in case some eyebrows should be lifted), he told me a tiny
puppy was wandering forlornly on the sidewalk outside the house
Our landlord is very strict and I can't imagine what he would do
about a puppy disrupting the early ayem peace of the house. Little
puppies do cry and whine sometimes. I was all for going back out and
getting the little thing even if it meant we'd probably be decorating
the sidewalk at dawn. Mr. Russell said even if what we have isn’t very
much, it’s better than sleeping on concrete or in Central Park now
that it's breezy outside.
Until six a. m., I tossed restlessly worrying about the puppy.
At six a. m., which is the earliest respectable time one can appear
on the sidewalk In his nightshirt, I dashed downstairs. There
huddled against a corner of the front door was a tiny, white
bundle of shherlng pooch. Someone, not caring for female dogs,
had put her out to starve. I picked her up and her tall began to
wag a thank-you. Upstairs, I gave her warm milk. She lapped It
up gratefully and then trotted off on short, furious spurts of ex
ploration.
When I started for the bathroom, Mr. Russell said to take the
pooch along or maybe she’d start to howl at my desertion and wake
up everybody in the jemt. I took her along. That was a mistake.
The cold tile made her pick her tiny paws up gingerly. She stalled
to wail. I have never heard so much noise from such a little dog. I
was in the bathtub covered with soap so all that I could do was go
"Shhhhhh!” like a leaky stem valve. She's stop howling for a second,
look at me, then start in again louder than before.
I finally got her back to the bedroom where she showed her ap
preciation by making a dime-sized puddle on the rug. The next hour
she alternated in trying to chase her tail and carry off Mr. Russell's
socks. Neither endeavor was very successful. The tail was too
elusive and the socks were too large.
When time came for me to leave for the office, I took her along
with me. I was going to see that she got a home somewhere even if
I had to stand at the subway entrance and auction her off. Just as I
left the house, a young man came up the street with a white dog who
looked like an exact replica of the little one. His dog was a female but
he was certain she didn’t have any offspring of recent vintage. Dogs
are kept on a leash here, so they can’t slip off for domantic rendez
vous. When I explained my predicament, the young man sighed and
said.
"Well, my wife will probably kill me, but I’ll take her home with
me. I'm sure we can find someone who'll be good to her. He went off
down the street with the puppy, talking in soothing tone as a poppa
would to a child.
A plague on people who leave small, defenseless puppies to
starve, and God bless the young man who was willing to risk
domestic upheaval for a tiny canine babe.
