TUSKEGEE GROUP TO RETURN TO TOWER
Atlanta's Tower Theatre, early in January, will again be the magnet for a rather unusual group from Tuskegee.
Several weeks ago, members of the Reviewers and the Junior Reviewers, having been refused admittance to a performance of "Mary Stuart" in Birmingham, made the 7-hour round trip journey to Atlanta and back to see the play here at the invitation of the producers.
This time the play will be the dramatization of the battle of wills between Helen Keller and her teacher which electrified Broadway a couple of seasons ago.
Dr. S. E. Walker, guiding spirit of The Reviewers, informed Inquirer Editor Holman that on their return visit, the Tuskegee playgoers hope to find more Negro Atlantans in the audience.
Mrs. Adella R. Shields of the Tuskegee Faculty and Holman collaborated in a joint review of Carson McCullers' "Clock Without Hands" at a Reviewers' dinner in mid-December.
