'They Called It Paradise' The Russian school teacher asked a pupil "Who were the first human beings?" "Adam and Eve," the young boy replied. "W h a t nationality were they?" "Russian, of course." "Fine, fine," the teacher com- mented. "And how did you know they were Russians?" "Easy," said the boy. "They had no roof over their heads, no clothes to wear, and only one apple for the two of them— and they called it paradise." in the Most Promising Comedy Hit of the 1964-5 Season "Absence of a Cello by IRA WALLACH with Charles Grodin Carol Byron See it before Broadway — opens in N.Y. at the Am- bassador Theatre on Sep- tember 21.

Considered one of the best films of 1964, the film received the ex- hibitor's "gold ticket" award at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival, as well as best director and best actor awards. Pictured above is Stefania San- drelli, who plays a young Sicilian girl in "Seduced and Abandoned." `Golden Boy' Opens at Fisher with Davis on Tuesday Sammy Davis begins a four week engagement in the title role of "Golden Boy" at the Fisher Theater Tuesday, in a musical version of the famous Clifford Odets play. It is exactly three years since producer Hillard Elkins convinced Mr. Odets that his play would make a good, modern musical and cinching factor was that Sammy Davis would give up the weekly fortune he earns in night clubs to play the leading role. During the three years the play- wright died but composer Charles Strouse and lyricist Lee Adams— they did "By Bye Birdie"—worked with the director Peter Coe—he staged "Oliver" with Davis and Elkins and the results won critical acclaim in Philadelphia and Boston. To tell the tale of the young Negro concert pianist who wanted out from the slums in which he was raised and who found it easier to punch his way out via the prize ring, the producers have surround- ed Davis with an exceptional cast. Heading the supporting players is the one only "Old Black Magic" man himself—Billie Daniels—who plays a smooth, sophisticated sin- ister representative of the "syn- dicate." Paula Wayne, who scored in New York last season in "Best Foot Forward", plays manager Ken- neth Tobey's girl friend, lost be- tween the manager's need for her and her more-than-platonic-interest in the young Negro fighter. Ted Beniades plays a small time box- ing promoter; Roy Glenn—remem- ber Amos and Andy—plays the father who believes "there's music in that boy." A pulchritudinous Jeanette Du- Bois plays Davis' sister, and John- ny Brown, who jumped from under- study into the lead role of brother- in-law, nightly steals the show when he duets "Don't forget 127th Street" with the star. Jaime Rog- ers does the sensational fight on stage with Davis. Charles Welch as the trainer and Don Crabtree as a sports writer round out the principals in the cast. "Golden Boy" will be at the Fisher until Sept. 19 and there will be a Sunday matinee and evening performance on the 13th.
