10th Anniversary
NEGRO ACTOR-PILOT VIRGIL
RICHARDSON SPREADS WINGS Surprise Given
Patterson
This play, in which Virgil acted
the role o f the comic, bombastic
Prog. Hennypest, became a hit
and ran several months—a new
record for little theatres. It gave
the company a good start which
has carried it through the produc­
tion of such hits as “Anna Lu-
casta” and "Walk Hard,” and
brought it this year to a large
new theattre in Harlem for its
sixth consecutive season.
'I got so busy with all the early
doings of ANT I almost overlook­
ed Pearl Harbor,” Virgil says. “I
had married a company member,
Aida Harrison, we had a son
Charles, and everything was going
just fine. Then the draft board
sent me a letter. It was a shock,
but it opened up a period of
my life I’ll never regret.”
Following basic training, Virgil
was assigned to quartermaster’s
corps but soon after applied for
AAF pilot training because he had
heard this offered a colored man
a better chance to do a respected
job in the war. There were dif­
ficulties with a tough adjutant
and Virgil got sent to England
with the quartermasters although
he had already passed his initial
examination for entrance into the
air forces and was scheduled to
begin flight training a m o n t h
later. But fortunately Washing­
ton officials caught up with the
situation. They saw to it that
Virgil was brought back to this
country.
‘All the bitterness I had toward
the army left me when I got in
the air forces,” Virgil says now^
‘For the first time I was treated
like a good American soldier. It
seems everybody has respect for
any individual, white or black,
who can fly a plane.”
Virgil got his wings at Tuskegee
and took tactical training at
Selfridge Field, Mich. He left the
U. S. in January, 1944, arriving
in Italy shortly thereafter, and
became a bomber escort pilot in
the 15th Air force, 01st Sq., 332d
Fighter group, under Col. Ben­
jamin O. Davis. These men made
themselves a great name in the
European theater. With them,
Virgil piled up 300 combat hours
and won the Air medal with four
oak leaf clusters.
He and his plane came through
the war unscathed, although they
had many brushes with N a z i
craft and pilots. But they did
experience a few mishaps of an
unusual nature.
Once when Virgil was bringing
hip planp-in fur a la d in g behind
the flight leader, a ^lock of sheep
suddenly invaded the runway. He
was too far in his approach to
go around. Sheep and plane col­
lided. The belly tank exploded,
but Virgil came through with only
a minor injury. He says actors

NEW YORK—(ANP)—On late
Sunday afternoons, when Har­

actors put on plays over New
York’s radio station KNEW, lis­
teners have been sitting up t<

terminal leave from the air forces
and back once more in his civil­
ian profession of acting.
A serious-minded six-footer
Virgil recalls with pride the part
he and his fellow Negro pilots
played in the war. He is equally
proud of the rapid advance and
achievements of the American Ne­
gro theatre group that he helped
to start five years ago.
When he was 2, in 1937, he
first came to New York from his
native Texarkana, Tex., a f t e r
graduating from Wiley college,
where he majored in science and
biology and acted in school plays.
“Of course I took a two-foot
room at the Y ”, he recalls with a
laugh, “and was pretty broke and
lonely at first.
But once I’d
landed a job as shipping clerk in
a hosiery mill, I was able to get
my bearings and look New York
square in the face."
Evenings he studied law at City
college, then was persuaded by
friends to try out his good looks,
full-bodied voice and likeable
personality in theatrical work. He
entered into amateur stage activi­
ties at the Y, and drew so much
favorable notice that soon he had
a part as Canada Lee’s under­
study in “Big White Fog.” The
play was running at Harlem’s old
Lincoln theatre, and during its
last few weeks Virgil took over
the lead.
This successful first stab at pro­
fessional acting was followed by
a period of no jobs. The usual
reason: not enough stage parts to
go around for Negroes. But Vir­
gil caught wind of a movement
under way to help remedy the
siuation. The American Negro
theatre, headed by playwright
Abram Hill and actor Frederick
O’Neal, was being born. Its aim
was to give Negroes an acting-
producing company of their own
with opportunity for work and
recognition opened to hundreds of
Negro actors, playwrights, direct­
ors, and stage technicians. Virgil
joined forces with ANT, and was
on<*jpf its right original founders.
The pioneer ANT group h^d
more ideas than money, but fin­
ally, through persistence, they got
launched in 1940 with A b r a m
Hill’s farce “On Striver’s Row.

TUSKEGEE— (ANP)—In a sur­
prise sponsored by a committee
of faculty and students. President
F. D. Patterson was appropri 'te-
ly reminded Sunday of the 10th
anniversary of his election as
Presidetn of Tuskegee institute.
By pre-arrangement with As­
sistant Chaplain Raymond F. Har­
vey who presided, the evening
vesper service was interrupted
and Capt. Alvin J. Neely with
two trustees: J. R. Wingfield of
Mt. Meigs, Ala., and Henry Neill
Segrest of Tuskegee, came to the
platform as President Patterson,
awaiting his turn to deliver his
Sunday evening talk, looked on
with genuine surprise at the un­
expected appearance of trustees.
After briefly reviewing Tuske-
gee’s progress during the 10-year
period of Dr. Patterson’s admin­
istration, Capt. Neely presented
$775 in victory bonds represent­
ing total gifts from trustees, fa­
culty and students.
Other features of the surprise
included messages from the two
trustees who were acting as emis­
saries of good will from the board
of trustees; presentation of flow­
ers to Mrs. Patterson by “ Miss
Tuskegee” and reading of letters
of greetings by A..L. Holsey.
Letters came from Presidents
of colleges participating in the
United Negro College fund, trus­
tees of the institute and many
others including President Harry
S. Truman, Henry A. Wallace,
Gov. Chauncey Sparks o ' Ala­
bama, C .C. Spaulding, Walter
Hoving, 1944 chairman of the Col­
lege Fund drive, Dr. J. W. Stude-
baker, United States Commission­
er of Education and Dr. Ambrose
Caliver, specialist in Negro edu­
cation.
President Patterson was deep­
ly moved by the demonstration
of appreciation and d e v o t i o n
which voluntarily came from
friends and the Tuskegee family.
In his acceptance of the gift, he
re-stated the tributes to Dr.
Washington and Dr. Moton so
beautifully expressed in his in­
augural address 10 years ago and
with becoming modesty renewed
his pledge to carry on in the
spirit of of his distinguished ped-
ecessors. He also referred to the
recent selection of Booker T.
Washington for the Hall of Fame.
At the close of the surprise
feature, President Patterson an­
nounced that he^ would purchase
Additional victory bonds to add
to those presented to him so that
at maturity they would constitute
a student loan fund of $1000.

ing and is hoping some day to
have a full-time job w i t h the
American Negro theatre, which
he believes has a big future.
"See what this group has done
already," he said. “It has made
tremendous advances during the
war. The American p u b l i c
thinks 'Anna Lucasta' is one of
the best shows they’ve had in a
long time. And there's m o r e
where that came from.”
The evening he talked with us
he was still wearing his lieu­
tenant’s uniform.
"Look at this,” he said. "We
Negroes did a mighty fine job
when wearing this suit. When we
all get going in civilian life again,
we’ll work harder than ever on
big things.”
