Redd Foxx should be a lawyer. He’s got more law
suits than he can handle, the latest by a very pretty 15-
year-old Las Vegas busgirl who claims that Redd
propositioned her. When she refused, she claims, he
hurled obscenities at her. When you have money, says
Redd, everybody wants a piece.
The hottest New Orleans action was not in the Ali-
Spinks ring. It was at a $250 per ticket stag where the
innocent date of a Detroit based player turned up cen
ter stage to perform with another female. Her Mr.
Cool stared in disbelief and exited promptly . . .
Meanwhile, Ali is movin’ to keep a date with Kris Kris
tofferson to do a TV special based on Howard Fast’s
best seller, Freedom Road. The Champ will portray a
former slave who claws his way to the U.S. Senate with
the help of a reformed red-neck bigot.
Suppose you were given a chance to pick your own
stepmother. Who would you choose? Alex Haley was
given such a choice and proved he is no fool. He
picked beautiful Diahann Carroll to portray his step
mother in Roots—The Next Generation.

Black Festival opens series
with the ‘Sounds in Motion 9
The Augusta Black Festival,
Inc. will open its 1978-1979
Cultural Affairs Series with a
concert by Dianne Mclntyre
and “Sounds in Motion,” a
company of dancers and
musicians from New York
City.
The program will be held
Oct. 29 at 8 p.m. in the
Augusta College Performing
Arts Theatre.
“Sounds in Motion”
performs modern dance works
focusing on both Black and
abstract themes. Their fresh
and inventive choreography is
combined with energy,
communicative power, and
ingenious spatial designs.
The group is committed to
the exploration of new and
vital avenues of artistic
expression. Based on a concept
of uniting the arts, the
company celebrates this union
through dance, live music,
design, and the spoken word.
Dianne Mclntyre,
choreographer and founder of
“Sounds in Motion,” is one of
the few Black female
choreographers. After receiving
her B.A. dgree in dance from
Ohio State University, Ms.
Mclntyre studied with major
dance figures before forming
her own company. Her 'works
have also been performed by
other companies, such as the
Karamu Theatre Dancers in
Cleveland, the Alvin Ailey
Repertory Ensemble, the Alvin
Ailey American Dance Theatre,
and the Negro Ensemble
Company, which is planning to
revive “The Great Mac Daddy,”
a musical choreographed by
Ms. Mclntyre. She is also
choreographer for Kool and
the Gang.
Among the highlights of the
concert scheduled for
Augusta’s audience will be the
performance of the “Deep
South Suite,” a jazzy piece
choreographed by Ms.
Mclntyre to the music of Duke
Ellington for the Alvin Ailey
American Dance Theatre.

musicians and the use of
