Goodlow I left the doctor’s office in a dark mood; Because he had forbidden my fa votite food. I recall as I hurried down the hall That 1 muttered "he just ain't no good”. Messing wTTn my potatoes, gravy and meat. And all the sweets I love to eat, For a few days I followed the diet And then said I’ll eat the foods I like— And knocked myself outright, And when the pains became a fright I said, the doctor must be right. And again went on my diet. If you think it is easy to follow a diet— Dear reader you just try it! Go on a liquid diet all week. And on Sunday eat plenty of meat. And feel like you swallowed Pikes Peak! If we could read the doctor’s mind His thoughts are often like the fol lowing lines— The doctor said you're five foot one— And almost weigh a ton! Something surely must be done For your health's sake you must lose weight! I'm sure the shape you’re in is like old broken down over-stufefd furn iture— A bulge here and a bigger one there, That badly needs repair. And madam if you please. Even a horse never pants or breath es like you unltss it has a case of heaves. The doctor said inhale and exhale Poke out your chest hm! hm! you are No Mae West! Your figure is a perfect mess. Exactly like the letter S. I trust the gals aren't envious— Of my figure so unlike the lovely Venus. That really made the doctor stare. He'd never seen the like before —Anywhere! At the end of the month, I went to see the doctor again— And all he could do was grunt. Instead of looking like a grey hound, I had gained many a pound. Said he as he took his fee— It is very well understood. Folks like you make our practice good! Keep doing the gorging and stuff ing act— And continue to grow fat. And someday a bouquet will be across your breast! And you will be at rest— Because you liked rich foods the best. P.S.—Call WE. 1742— And invite me to a meal or two, It will be a very safe bet, You know I can't accept, But you better not try it— For I might be off my diet, And be feeling just right— To eat all food in sight!

By John Chapman—Daily News T jo often, a play which looks good in semi-pro or neighborhood surround ings—say the Blackfriars or the Pro vincetown—looks bad in a Broadway theatre. No so with "Anna Lucasta" which, after an early summer tryout in Harlem, iame last week to the Mansfield. "Anna Lucasta” is«a first rate drama, acted by a company of Negro players who are a joy to watch. I did not see the Harlem version, I but have been told that some changes, like the elimination of a prologue, have been made.

It has been written with honesty, sympathy, humor and often, more than ordinary grace by Philip Yordan It just happens to be played by Ne groes, but it isn’t about Negroes, it's about people. FOR ALL THEY'RE WORTH The actors of the American Negro Theatre play these people for all they are worth, which is considerable; — and they do so with imagination and restraint. Hilda Simms, an extraor dinary pretty girl with a splendid voice, is admirably right as Anna Lu casta, the prostitute. “Anna Lucasta” in sum, is a hit. It had the first nighters cheering. The Mansfield’s sturdy walls may need bracing in the future, after vibrating to barrages of the most enthusiastic applause heard in a playhouse in many a month.
