February 15, 1979 Crusaders F olio w ‘Star’ By Stanley M. Egerson Panther Staff Writer We All Have a Star (AA-1109 ABC) is another solo venture from the Crusaders’ jazz dynasty. Wilton Felder, Wizard of the Woodwinds, makes his solo debut in grand style, just as Crusader, Joe Sample did a few months ago with his Rainbow Seeker (AA- 1050 ABC) L.P. Felder does vocals, plays bass guitar, and he plays woodwinds on every selection. The smooth jazz that gets surprisingly better with each new album by the Crusaders has been retained, but “Felderized.” Felder pours himself onto the vinyl in the performance of, in my opinion, the best slow jazz cut of the year, My Name is Love. The fresh vibrant voice of featured vocalist brother Khabir Ghani colors the music with delightful shades of sound. Joe Sample; drummer, James Gadson; Roland Bautis ta; percussionist supreme, Paulinho da costa; and Felder come together to produce eight songs of excellent calibre, that are We all Have a Star. Disco - Jazz bursts loose at the hands of this versatile music unit. Let’s Dance Together is a sho-nuff thumper, with a definite resemblance to the Brothers Johnson’s style of music. Six of the seven remaining cuts are of a laid - back, dimmed lights and champaign style. The title track, You and Me and Ecstacy, I Know Who I Am and Why Believe set the at mosphere for an evening of inspiring listening, and whatever . . . Among the participants in this year’s event were the Morehouse Jazz Ensemble, Morris Brown College Choir and many other Atlantans in cluding Clark College’s former chairman of the board of trustees, E. L. Simon. “Bronze Jubilee Awards” produced by Spelman College graduate Sheryl Riley, purpose is “to honor metropolitan Atlanta area citizens who have made significant con tributions to the development of Black culture.” The Panther Page 3 Movie, Movie is Funny, Funny TITLE CONTENDER — A one-time delivery boy turned prize fighter, HARRY HAMLIN gets instruc tions from his second, RED BUTTONS (right), and his manager, GEORGE C. SCOTT. By Gloria Johnson PANTHER Reporter “MOVIE, MOVIE” is a hilarious double feature that depicts the familiar films of the 30’s as seen through the eyes of the 70’s. Heading the cast of the uni que film, constructed in the form of a classic double feature, is George C. Scott, who plays different roles in each of the “features” as well as appearing in the previews of coming attractions which separates “Dynamite Hand,” a seriously funny boxing story and “Baxter’s Beauties of 1933,” a heart - warming backstage musical. “Dynamite Hands” is about an upcoming law student, Joey Popchick (Harry Hamlim), who is discovered at having a talent for knocking out in nocent bullies by Gloves Malloy (George C. Scott), a “tough - tender” veteran fight game manager. Though Joey refuses the job at becoming a boxer at first, he later changes his mind when he discovers that his sister Angie Popchick (Kathleen Beller) needs money for an operation to save her eyesight. Joey begins to lose his patience after six months of successfully winning all ofhis matches and unsuccessfully gathering enough money for Angie’s operation. Joey insists upon changing managers to speed up the process. He changes to Vince Marlowe (Eli Wallach), an evil manager whose sole purpose seems to be using and destroying successful boxers, but insists that Gloves stays at his corner during every fight. His incredibly bad choice of managers ends in an ironic tragedy that leaves the audience in tears of laughter. The laugh continues during the second feature “Baster’s Beauties of 1933.” “Baxter’s Beauties of 1933” is a toe - tap ping tale of a little show business hopeful, Kitty Simpson (Rebecca York), who shot her way into stardom. Spats Baxter (George C. Scott), a broadway producer, is due to die in six months from an incurable disease that some performers catch. He produces Baxter’s Beauties as his last show for his anonymous daughter so she can obtain the money from the show. Isobel Stuart (Trish Van Devere) becomes a stumbling block in the production of the show. She begins by refusing to sing the music that was written for the show. But who comes to the rescue Dick Cum mings. Dick was hired to take care of the business side of the production, but when he was discovered at having the art of writing music, he wrote a broadway musical that pleased Isabel. Isabel’s con tinuous spending of the funds such as those to buy costumes on liquor and a last minute sprained ankle, left doubts that the show would ever go on, but it did and it became a hit. All turned out well for a little orphan chorus girl named Kitty who got a break when some drunk sprained her an kle. She simultaneously found stardom, true love and her long lost father all in one Dazzling Broadway opening night. So if you’re looking for top entertainment this movie is highly recommended for viewing. “Movie, Movie” can be seen soon in selected theatres throughout Atlanta. * * * * * * * * have now.

Chapter of the Year, Display of the Year and Brother of the Year were the awards that the Alphas brought back to show ■everyone what can be done with a little perserverance. According Sto Alpha vice president, Greg Daniels, one award for his chapter J took more time to capture than the others. “The display of the lyea” award took a year’s worth of work to develop.” Chapter of the Year was bestowed upon Alpha Phi because | they upheld the fraternity’s obligation for scholarship, love for | mankind and other deeds. Alpha Phi did a total of 25 community | affairs projects in 1978, including an easter egg hunt for orphans ■ and visits to senior citizens hospitals and homes. Murray Davis, corresponding secretary, gave some insight on "how the chapter organized this effort to win in Augusta. I We -really started in February (1978) and began keeping all J documents and pictures on file. Finally a week before the meet in ■ Augusta, we put everything together.” I Among the display included a slide presentation showing the | work Alpha Phi contributed in the last year. A total of ten I chapters competed, and Davis is eyeing another chapter award ■ in their regional meet where competition involves other 8 southeastern states. ■ Yet the highlight of the chapter’s visit to Augusta was the S award of Alpha Phi president, Michael Hightower as Brother of 1 the Year. He competed with ten other Alpha brothers of other J chapters in the state. A member of the Clark board of trustees, 2 Hightower’s win received support from the various activities he I is involved with while at Clark. He won, according to Daniels, (because of his academic leadership. “He also has a dynamic 9 personality,” Daniels added. Hightower himself was hesitant to give all the credit to his own | individual merit. “My chapter contributed a lotto me winning... | they are very instrumental in my involvement at Clark.” When | asked about his confidence in winning this year’s award, ■ Hightower responded, “I sure did not know I was going to win.” CSB Integrates Plan * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * By Jack Jenkins Panther Staff Writer CSB stands for College Students in Broadcasting which is an organization con sisting of students from colleges and universities all over the nation. The Atlanta University Chapter of CSB was started in 1974 under the name of College Women in Broadcasting (CWB). The name was changed in January of 1978 because the CWB chapter at the University of Georgia in Athens was charged with dis crimination of men; so to avoid a hassle the name was changed to College Students in Broadcasting, allowing men to join. When asked about the progress of the club since males were allowed to enter compared to last year when it was all female, Janice Ward, co - president from Clark College, replied: “It’s definitely improving, you get more done when you have more people. There should be an organization where everybody can benefit, not just women.” The purpose of CSB is to promote knowledge of careers in all phases of the com munications field and in troduce the members to people associated within that field. One of the organization’s major projects this semester will be to sponsor a career day on March 3 which will enable club members to visit either WAGA-TV or WSB-Radio. They will see and learn what the area of their choice is all about. CSB elects co - presidents from all the schools in the Atlanta University Center. The only school in the center that is not represented by a co - president at the present time is Morris Brown College. This year’s officers are Cassandra Johnson, co - president, Spelman College; Miss Ward; and William Layton Haynes, co - president, Morehouse College.
