Here we were gr~eted by his secretary, Mrs. Allee Cunningham Wren a former San Antonian. '

SINIAIP WIISilli"S SAMIMI'W ID>AWIIS Jill. Snap is very grateful to Mrs. Alice Cunningham Wren a former San Antonian, who is now employed as Sa:0my Davis1 secretary. For it was she who made possible our visit to Davis1 office, located in the Cross Roads of The World in Hollywood, and to the Samuel Goldwyn Movie Studio lot to visit Sammy Davis Jr. Here Davis wasbeingshotinhis newest movie, "Sold­ iers Three." In the picture are, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Peter Lawford. Eugene Coleman Sr.,Snap Publisher, Mrs. Sterling Houston of the Sterling Travel Service and Mrs. Hayes a former San Antonian, now living in Los Angeles, made the tour of the movie lot. Snap never dreamed that so many good things could happen to one on a Snap Bus Tour. Here are more "EXCLUSIVE" shots made by a Snap photographer during the Sammy Davis Visit. We were met at the office of the Samuel Goldwyn Studios by Frank Sinatra Jr., then escorted to Sammy Davis jr., (L-R),Mrs. Houston, Sinatra jr., and Mrs. INTRODUCTION Hayes. by Frank Sinatra I have known Sammy Davis Jr. for several year s. Long befor e he became a star, I considered h im a great • and good f r iend- as I do today. When I first met the young man, he. was a struggling per­ former. The vast American public had not discovered him and only a few people in the trade knew anything about his ability. But even then, I recognized in him one remarkable gift: he has artistic talent to spare. I was once qu_oted as saying, "Sammy can do everything but cook spaghetti." Whether I said it or not, it is very, verv. very clcse to the truth · Sammy the singer-dancer-musician- is the most versa- ti'c performer this performer ever sa\\. I ha,·e seen him perform on a nightcl'lh tloor. I have seen him perform in theaters.

From Las Vegas' El Rancho to Bill Mill r's Riviera in Fort Lee, New Jersey, it was the same story over and over: one record-breaking date after another. In between the nightclub triumphs, the trio did some T\' shots on the national shows (among them Ed Sullivan's, Jackie Glea­ son's and Eddie Cantor's) where they brought a new sheen to the cathode tube. With the tr10 drawing steady booking on the circuits, Sammy cast about for new ways to parlay his many tal­ ents.

If a man say I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar for h~ that loveth not his brother w;,om he hath see'n, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? Here is a scripture, which.needs no interpr~tation. It speaks for itself. ltsayswhatitmeans,and 1t means what it says. All men are brothers,regardless of race, creed or color. God said, let us make man, nota multitude of races, but MAN. Over a period of time, men 1s skins have changed but this did not change the status of brother­ hood. Acts 17:26, says, And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitations. The skepticsand the unbelievers can not deny this. Whether a man is accepted or rejected, because of the color of his skin, men are all still brothers; whe­ ther men are loved or hated, because of their race, we are a II sti II brothers. We are living in a time of fear, a time of uncer­ tainity a time of indecision, among men, because man ha~ transgressed God 1s law of love. Men are do­ ing what seem right 1 instead of doing what, thus saith the Lord. Menare becoming more wiser, and weaker day by day, because they have forgot God. When men lean on their own understanding; when they live by their own strength; when they boast of probing the mysteries of the Atom, the depths of the sea, or the secrets of outer space, they are claiming to be their own master. Men are doing what seemeth right. But, the pro­ phet Isaiah was inspired to write these words: For my thoughts are not your thoughts; Neither are your ways my ways. (lsa. 55:8-9). In short, God is saying to man, I am still on the throne; I still have all power in heaven and earth in my hand. So we see man has limitations. Men are seeking a peaceful solution of the worlds problems, around conference tables, yet they are still preparing for war as they seek peace. Men wi II never find peace around peace tables, be­ cause of the facts, they fai I to recognize the prince of peace.
