1964 Cast autographed boxed set of two records with booklet and order form, along with two Showcards for the Langston Hughes musical play Jerico-Jim Crow.  If you look at the Showcards, cast members Micki Grant and William Cain weren’t in the play when the autographs were obtained (late 1964), but Barney Hodges and Ethel Ragin were.  William Cain was white, not African American, and he played Jim Crow early on before Barney Hodges replaced him.  Ethel Ragin replaced Micki Grant and played the Young Woman. Of great historical importance are the contents of the Showcards as they give biographical info on certain actors and this info is not readily available on the net. The only main African American character signature that’s not present is that of Rosalie King, who played Old Woman.  I know that she had a stroke in the mid 1960’s (per Wikipedia), so I assume she just wasn’t able to autograph this item.  But, instead of her signature, we get 3 others including that of female Northern Soul singer Metrogene Myles.  I wonder if she was acting the part of Old Woman at the time? The item is autographed to “Sandy”, who I thought might be Civil Rights activist Sandra Feldman (?).  The autographs are; Gilbert Price, Brock Williams, Joseph Attles, Ethel Ragin, Metrogene Myles, William Coleman, and Dorothy Drake.  Gil Price was Langston Hughes’ protégé and love interest (see the NYPL Gilbert Price Collection for more info on him).  Brock Williams, William Coleman and Metrogene Myles were members of The Hugh Porter Gospel Singers. Joseph Attles was a very important actor who played Sportin’ Life in Porgy And Bess.  Attles was more of Jazz Age or Harlem Renaissance performer, singing songs by Cotton Club writers.  He played 2nd lead to Paul Robeson in John Henry in the parts of Bad Stacker Lee and Man Named Sam.  Attles worked with Bill Robinson, and he died in South Carolina.    Ethel Ragin studied voice at Fisk University and performed with the Randolph Masterwork Chorus, St. James AME Church, etc. Dorothy Drake was a member of Tambourines To Glory (Hughes play), toured the USA with the Raspberry Gospel Singers and had performed at the National Baptist Convention.
