Three Negro Red
Cross Girls Bring
Music and Fun
New York N. Y.—According to
an announcement this week, ‘‘Pa
cific Sabbath” , the overseas story
of the USO-CAMP
SHOWS
“Porgy and Bess”, has been tran
scribed by a Negro cast for broad
cast to millions of radio listeners
in the United States, Alaska,
Hawaii, and Porto Rico during
the National War Fund campaign
this Fall. Over 800 stations will
carry the “Porgy and Bess” tran
scription.
The proram reveals how the
cast which presented George
Gershwin’s great American folk
opera during their tour of New
Caledonia, the New Hebrides,
Guadalcanal, and other South Pa
cific islands found themselves
entwined in the spiritual lives of
our men in military bases, out
posts, and hospitals.
“Some of the men said they
came to see Porgy and Bess eight
and ten times” , explains Dick
Campbell, coordinator of Negro
talent of USO Camp Shows who
acts as program narrator. “But” ,
he continues, “they wanted some
thing else too. Especially when
the Sabbath came around they
wanted something else.
They
wanted to hear the hymns of
their faiths.”
Members of the Porgy and
Bess cast who helped unfold the
program story are Miss Cather
Septem ber 21. 1945
ine Van Buren, Miss Eloise Ug-
gams, Miss Gladys Goode, and
Mr. William Veasey.
Other transcripions planned for
the National War Fund campaign
include "Artist To The Wound
ed”, a program dramatizing an
important USO activity in hos
pitals. Messages are scheduled
from General Dwight D Eisen
hower, John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
Pat O’Brien, Dr. Lindsley F. Kim
ball, National President of USO,
and Philip Murray, President of
CIO.
