the temptations cast before an attractive woman with time on her hands in the flourishing unrestrained atmosphere of the Negro quarter of a Southern town are enough to sway her loyalties. "Sharpclothed" gamblers and pimps with peg-top trousers, long watch chains and sky-bonnet hats rub shoulders with muscular loggers in town with their "spending change," their brightly decorated shirts open to reveal bared brown chests. Saloons and barrelhouses rock to the music from the peacock-hued juke boxes and the crap-shooters on the pavement pause to admire the legs of the passing brownskin girl with the side-slit "Mary Jane" skirt. When her man tracks her down on the street corner she laughs in his face.
