eating a ham sandwich loaded

putting out the fire with a

Billy Dee Williams who
became a sensation as Diana
Ross’ costar in “Lady Sings the

frious negotiations to star in
le long talked about movie
biography of the late Nat King
Cole. Meanwhile, MGM has
been hot on Billy Dee’s heels
to star in at least one updated,
Black oriented remake of the
old Clark Gable screen classics.
The first Gable flick the studio
is trying to sell Williams on is a
remake of “Any Number Can
Play”...

COASTERS REVIVE THE
’FIFTIES IN NEW
COLUMBIA FILM MUSICAL
The Coasters, one of the
featured groups in “Let The
Good Times Roll,” the
Metromedia Producers
Corporation film for Columbia
Pictures, vividly re-create the
1950 s with stirring renditions
of their universal hits,
“Yackity Yack,” “Charlie
Brown,” and “Along Came
Jones,” among others.
Situation comedy is The
Coasters forte, and time and
again in the multiscreen
musical filmed with Richard
Nader as concert producer, The
Coasters display clever and
colorful playlets on everyday
themes.
Named for their west coast
origin, The Coasters were
originally known as The
Robins. Their first record
“Down In Mexico”, recorded
in the Spring of 1957,
exploded the group into fame.
Their songs, their parodies and
the tunes that became million
sellers included “Searchin,”
‘‘Poison Ivy”, the
aforementioned ‘‘Charlie
Brown,” “Along Came Jones,”
and “Yackity Yack.”
Joining The Coasters in
“Let The Good Times Roll”,
which was filmed in the
unheard-of-time of three days,
are such rock ‘n roll superstars
as Chubby Checker, Chuck
Berry, Little Richard, Billy
Haley and the Comets, Fats
Domino,, The Shirelies, Bo
Diddley, The Five Satins,
among others.

“SHOULD YOU GO FIRST”
Should you go first and 1 remain
To walk the road alone,
I’ll live in memory’s garden dear
with happy days we’ve known.
In Spring I’ll wait for roses red,
when fades the violets blue,
In early Fall when brown leaves call
I’ll Catch a glimpse of you.
Should you go first and I remain
For battles to be fought,
Each thing you’ve touched along the way
will be a hallowed spot.
I’ll hear your voice, I’ll see your smile,
Though blindly I may grope,
The memory of your helping hand
Will bouy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain
To finish with the scroll,
No length’ning shadows shall creep in
To make this life seem droll.
We’ve known so much of happiness,
We’ve had our cup of joy,
And memory is one gift of God
That death cannot destroy.
Should you go first and 1 remain
One thing I’ll have to do:
Walk slowly down the path of death
And soon I’ll follow you.
I’ll want to know each step you take
That I may walk the same,
For some day down the lonely road
You’ll hear me call your name.

A MISTRIAL WAS
DECLARED IN SUPERIOR
COURT WEDNESDAY IN
THE GARY L. JONES
TRINITY CASE
By R. L. Oliver
The case of Gary L. Jones,
19, of 2758 Royal Street,
accused of the rape and
robbery of a woman behind
the Trinity on The Hill
Methodist Church.
Informed sources said,
“Information received through
state channels necessitated a
mistrial.”
Further information as of
this writing is unavailable,
however, it was pointed out a
date for a new trial will be set
at the earliest possible time,
but not during this current
session of Superior Court.
The case stemmed out of an
incident last February when a
mother, daughter, friend trio
were ordered from the church
to the rear, where the mother
was raped while the other two
were made to hide in a trash
bin by a man with a gun. The
mother’s purse was taken after
the assault.
Jones, also accused of
another rape of a West
Wrightsboro Road woman has
been held in the Richmond
County Jail without bond since
last February.
