...triteness of Jim Tally's plot, exaggerated coarseness of language, superficiality of dialogue, are more than offset by two redeeming features: the authentic note (struck most poignantly when Actor Robeson sings the spiritual, "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child") of the Negro's inability to find himself in complicated mazes of the white world; and Mr. Robeson's personality. His organ-like voice croons, booms in husky, mellow tones filled with all the languor and ebullience of his naive race. In the third act he appears stripped to the buff-an Apollo in black marble...

Contemplation of this beauty lifted the worshipper to such raptures of desire and abortion that mere words could not express the feelings, and motion was the natural outlet, however feel, for the pent-up emotions.

He stayed at the University of Chicago only a few weeks, "because I saw it was not the place for me. I had to learn things for myself- feel 'em out." He did some news- gathering, but small jobs, quite simply, did not appeal to him. He sold and wrote advertising as an executive for the Boston Store, then for Bloomingdale's in Manhattan. When Editor Bernarr ("Body Love") Macfadden started the Daily Graphic, Mr. Cohen promoted...
