On ThE By Doi Listening to a three-hour James Brown concert can be an exhaust ing experience. The amazing part of it, however, is that Brown him self, who was on stage for more than half of the show, was still wide-awake enough to give us an intelligent interview. Despite his frantic calisthenics on the stage, we discovered that there is nothing frantic about Brown, the individual. He sports the calm self-assurance of a man with a lot of shekels in a big bank somewhere. Brown is one of the few people In the business who don't play col lege concerts for the simple reason that there just isn't enough money In it. Of course, Brown doesn't collect all of that $15,000 he gets for an average concert. A big portion of it goes to the 50-odd people he car A ries with his show. In refreshing contrast to a lot of performers, James doesn't con sider himself the last word on global problems, or even the racial situation. He does have some opin ions, though. Says Brown, "This Orangeburg thing could be the key to South Carolina's race relations for the next ten years. . . . If it is handled right, things will be to gether. If they let those guys get away with shooting those kids. something is going to break." He is also startlingly down to earth. "Let's face it. In life, people have got to give something if they want to get something. The fact is that a lot of us (Negroes) just haven't given. This young group of kids who are growing up now are giving . . . they're working. And they've got a right to collect some of the rewards."

And because I'm an American, I have the re sponsibility to support my country. I'm too old to go as a soldier, bqpt I'm going this month as an enter tainer to let those boys-the black ones and the white ones-know I'm behind them." ON STAGE: Due to deadline difficulties, we had to take in the current produc tion of West Side Story while it was still in the rehearsal stages. We w e r e pleasantly surprised, however, to discover that the story is being handled in a very profes sional way. Unfortunately, t h e romantic leads left something to be desired in the way of credibility, but, for the most part, they handled their ballads sympathetically, if not with technical precision. Some of the brightest moments in the production come when Karen Deas, as Anita, is on stage. Her performance would credit any cast. Brian Thorpe is also outstanding in his role as warlord of the Puerto Ricans, as is his opposite number, Jeff Bailey as Riff. The entire presentation has been done with imagination, and the staging, particularly in the "Rum ble" scene, is excellent. A specific mention should be made of Terry Lamb's handling of the non-principal role of "Doc." The personality of the kindly old pill-roller comes through with a real impact, and acts as an effec tive contrast to the comic material. Capsule opinion: Facing the whole bagfull of inevitable college pro duction problems, West Side Story comes up with a lot of bright spots. Plan to see it. best seller - h hit movie fIicIsae1 ~aine!
