prayer meetings and Sunday ser¬
vices.
Bishop Grace’s last visit to
the city was during September
for the annual convocation. Sev¬
eral thousand Savannahians, as
usual, lined the streets to wit¬
ness the annual parade. Bish¬
op Grace rode in his spectacu¬
lar Cadillac, waving his hands
with long fingernails painted in
red, white and blue. His long
curly hair was shoulder length.
Many out-of-town followers
ioined the marching units of
the mile-long parade.
A visit to the city by Bishop
Grace meant a shower of cash
gifts from his followers. Upon
reaching the sawdust-filled al¬
tar in The House of Prayer fol¬
lowers were so thrilled by the
Bishop’s presence that they fell
to the ground or danced and
shrieked with joy. They
never failed to put money in
his hand first.
Mrs. Omie Bradley, the secre¬
tary of the Savannah House of
Prayer states that Bishop
Grace represented a spirit that
will live with his followers for¬
ever.
The local leader, Elder P. A.
Lawson, left immediately by
plane for Los Angeles upon re¬
ceipt of the news of Bishop
Grace’s death.

Richards directed the produc¬

Sidney and Lee J. Cobb, and
thereby became the first Negro
director in commercial televis¬

Richards, considered one of
the brightest young directors
(32) in the theater today as a
result of his success with the
Broadway hit, “A Raisin in the
Sun,” was ‘fascinated” toy his
first television assignment. He
admits that he learned a great
deal, the only way he knows
how—by making' mistakes and
finding out what the mistakes
were and how he happened to
make them.
But for his family’s moving
to Detroit when he was still in
grammar school, Richards
would probably now be active
in Canadian instead of Ameri¬
can television. He was born in
Toronto tout grew up in Detroit,
where he attended Wayne Uni¬

Festival and at the Noitn an,

when he came to New York,

Actors’ Workshop. In fact,

It was at the Workshop that
Richards’ biggest break came,
although at the time he did not
know it. He met Sidney Poitier
there. That was years ago when
Poitier himself was still strug¬
gling for success. He impressed
Poitier so much that, when
Poiter took the main role in “A
Raisin in the Sun,” he immed¬
iately thought of Lloyd Rich¬
ards. That’s how Richards got
the directorial assignment for
the hit shew.
Since his success in “Raisin,”
Richards’ services have been in
great demand. He is cu. rently
in the middle of rehearsals for
the Cheryl Crawford product¬
ion of “The Long Dream,”
starring Larry Winters, which
will open on Broadway in Feb¬
ruary. Soon after that, he will
go on to Hollywood to do “Daf¬
fy” for Marlon. Brando.
A quiet, almost reticent man
with a round face and large
innocent eyes, Lloyd Richards
was an immediate hit on the
set of “The Committeeman.”
Everybody liked him; his obvi¬
ous talent, plus his desire to
learn what he did not know
about the medium, endeared
him to Let J. Cobb.
What will he do next in tele¬
vision? Richjjrds doesn’t know.
“I’m looking at some proper¬
ties about which I’m not at
liberty to talk right now.” he
said, “but what I need more
than anything else is time.”

NEW YORK, N. Y. — The;

Writing in the current issue

Jr„ said he found during a re¬
cent visit to Poplarville that {
people were u iryins desperately
to force the ugly matter from
their conscious minds.”
“The people of Poplarville
were obvlou.Jy trying to
themselves. Some of the less
educated already has woven a
web of fantasy to protect them
from their own feelings,” Leo¬
nard wrote.
He said he was told by one
man that “most people” in
and interned at
Hospital during 1943 and
Dr. Watts served as surgical
resident of Freedmen’s
