But his "Human Life of Jesus" while not satisfying the test of evangelical orthodoxy was tender dynamic and - wor- - shipful Now this educator author and musician comes forward with a classic little brochure on "Why I Am Not Afraid to Die" Written for "Guideposts" it blows a trumpet for hope and faith across our darkened time He writes "A doctrine of courage rooted in faith is the essence and the most precious gift of true religion I believe that our existence did not begin when we were born or begotten nor does it end when we die but I believe also that the world most important for us is the one in which we find ourselves—this world now some other world later" That of course must be the intelligent conclusion of any person who believes in the soul's im- mortality for immortality must include the past as well as the future Aye and the present too for we are immortal now Stating the principle which John Erskine brilliantly restates Jesus said: "Whosoever liveth and bellevethin me shall never die" Copyright N Y Post SENATOR FROM ' SANDPIT By HAM PARK The play's the thing—Hamlet The Press-Radi- o Roast Salt Lake's own gridiron banquet and show staged by the Jaycees is over but the memory will linger on And whether the memory blesses or burns will depend upon whether one was a or a victim spectator It iB common knowledge among professional performers that an audience will applaud because of politeness or loyalty but it cannot and will not laugh unless it is genuinely amused The spontaneous roars of laughter that rocked Thursday night's crowd spoke volumes for the broad humor and scintillating sparkle of the situations and lines Master of ceremonies Fielding (Smat) Smith set the pace which was a fast one There were a few spots in which the action lagged but the redoubtable Smat quickly picked up the tempo and the show moved on From the opening chorus -Twelve Candidates" which poked fun at the aspirants to the gubernatorial seat to the finale "Life Can Be Beautiful" a clever satire on local radio broadcasts there were few dull moments Few persons holding political offices or prominent in the public eye escaped a thorough drubbing While everyone connected with the production did nobly there were of necessity certain members of the cast who were assigned the more important role- s- and who gave excellent performances They were Al Thomas John Kay Richins Johannesson (he wrote the Steve script) Joel Shapiro James and Michael Martin Reminiscent of last year's "roast" Little $1 Soft Drinks The once quiet little holes in the 'walls now have neon signs and barkers extolling the charms of the dozen—count 'em—goosepimpled dames who writhe bump and grind inside A coke a beer and watered Scotch costs the same—one solid buck—and aren't careful one of the frenzied ladies will nudge it out of your hand with a hip You used to be able to sit down in New Orleans and nibble at a 40c drink and listen to a spate of sorrowful blues If a lady started to disrobe in your vicinity she was apt to be an irrepressed customer Nobody grabbed you by the nape as you walked along and hurled you into a floor show But now they have the fat comedians from the Bronx—the kind of doleful comic who turns his hat up in front and rewrites Milton Berle material with a chalk They have one chardirty acter pridefully billed as an imitator of Al Jolson which sets some sort of record in fruitless scavenging They peddle worn-oacts from the cheaper gin mills in the larger northern cities and the shopworn spirit of New Orleans itself is hawked on the streets much as a county fair pitchman sells his combination potato peeler-bicycpump The quarter today looks more like 42nd and Broadway than the old Vieux Carre If-yo- 1 I ix NieNaught cts:)' NS 1"---- 048aertfl evu‘y tyttripii t' -
