...stage, movies and TV. Then, while touring with the road company of The Best Man two years ago, playing the role of an ex-President who dies of cancer, Gargan himself began to complain of a continually sore throat. Doctors discovered he had cancer of the larynx. His voice box was removed, and what was left of his windpipe now ends at a collar-button-level hole in his neck.

Dorothy Dandridge and Sammy Davis in summer stock can be accounted for by their great box office appeal. But for the journeyman Negro actor-and even for such established Negro stars as Sidney Poitier, Claudia McNeil and Diahann Carroll-there is a disconcerting scarcity of parts. "It's very discouraging," says Miss Dandridge. "Sometimes they'll hire actresses and shade them with makeup until they...
