It’s not a matter of being proper. It’s
unnecessary. For when most Englishmen
ask for gin, they expect to get Gordon’s.

“The Blacks”
In 1,000th
Performance
History was made Wednesday
night in the New York theatre.
At the St. Marks Playhouse “The
Blacks,” the Jean Genet drama!
j-which opened here on May 4,
1961, gave its 1.000th perform
ance.
Only 13 other straight plays in
the entire record of the metro
politan stage have been able to
achieve this mark, and all of
them were Broadway productions.
Thus. “The Blacks” becomes
1 the 14th non - musical produc
tion in New York to hit the 1,000-
' performance barrier, and the
1 first one off - Broadway to ac-
' camplish this.
Great impetus was added to the
Jean Genet play recently* when
almost the entire original cast re
turned to assume again the roles
they created. Among them were
James Earl Jones, Cicely Tyson,
. Cynthia Belcrave, Brunetta Bar
nett. Roxie Rokcr and Lex Mon
on. They left better paying as-
I signments to return to “The
I Blacks” because they felt that the
. Genet play is important to an
i understanding of the racial ten-}
. sions of our time and they want-j
ed to focus additional attention!
! upon it.
