...synthetic sunburst explodes in the auditorium of Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall, world's biggest theatre. Sometimes the 75-piece Music Hall Symphony Orchestra plays almost prayerfully. Sometimes it lashes and groans through a hot, new delirium. The 46 young ladies in the Rockette troupe are equal to either occasion. They can move shyly and demurely in ballet tulle.

His hearers, being Southerners, supposed at once that he was referring to the color line. Only two years ago his Legislature passed and he proudly signed a law giving Negroes equal rights with whites in all Pennsylvania's hotels, shops, restaurants, theatres (TIME, Aug. 12, 1935).
