THE LOWDOWN By Masco Young New York— (ANP)— In the world of bright light* the most exciting news of the week and perhaps the year is originating in Philadelphia where an inter racial musical comedy starring Lena Home and white actor Ricardo Montalban bowed at the historic Shubert Theatre. A calypso comedy sprinkled with some of the season's most clever music, "Jamaica” is an ex citing love story which finds the great I-ena pitched in a turbulent romantic battle with Ricardo, who plays the part of a happy and carefree fisherman. Already in ternationally known as a top art ist on the nitery circuit, Miss Horne literally throws every ounce of her unquestionable talent into her vocalizing chores, effectively winning the audience applause by singing three of the first four numbers of the show. Playing the part of the only dressmaker on the Pigeon Is land*. Lena’s dally dream I* to transfer her designing profes sion to another, bigger and rich er island, Manhattan, (New York City.) Judging from audience reaction. Lena's best performance comes when she delivers the charactisti cally sultry “Take It Slow Joe" number. Employing the manners and expressions she has learned through the years of cafe work. Miss Home. In th* style of a typi cal bistro chanteuse, puts consid erable emotion and telling facial expression in her songs. While "Jamaica" Is easily a top drawer stage production, In addi tion to being Lena Home's first Broadway starring vehicle, the spectator couldn't help but think that it's recognition of the calyp so music and dance craze has come a bit too late —inasmuch as calypso Is a dying fad. But with the principal roles of "Jamaica" in the capable hands of two vet erans like Lena Horne and Ricardo Montalban it is probably that a successful Broadway run is forth coming. despite the cooling nation al interest in calypso. • • • PEOPIJC AND PI-ACES: John ny Mathis, that fast-rising new comer. whose recording of "It's Not For Me To Say." and "Won derful.

The southern contingent pleaded that further discussion should be had on the merging, that while they believed integration possible, the 51,000-member federation was harming itself by setting a dead line for the merger. The Jan. 1 date for merger was set at the organization's 1956 December 1, 1.855 members of the Atlanta local withdrew in pro test against the ultimatum. At last week’s convention, however, the executive council, though giv ing thoughtful consideration to the southern contingent's appeal, remained adamant in the stand taken at its 40th convention. Earlier In the week, at a "Democratic Human Relations" luncheon session, the teachers lis tened to an address by Edwin C. Berry, executive director of the Chicago Urban League, who, among other things, declared that Chicago is “the most segregated city, residentially speaking,” In the nation. He said that "this causes us to have segregation in all the institutions within the segregated areas: churches, schools, playgrounds and busi nesses.” Here'* How It Works “Here is how it works,” Berry said. "When we deny a man a job for which he is qualified, we keep that man so poor he cannot buy the goods the rest of us pro duce. We force him to take his family to live in the slums. By products of unemployment dis crimination are poverty, disease, crime, delinquency and personal ity disintegration." "We must learn and understand the importance of developing a society of brotherhood, and we must become interracitlly mature and sophisticated.
