Beautiful Slides Will Feature Passion Play Lecture By Miss Rutz > Miss Anny Rutz’s story of the Passion Play and of its leading ac tors, which will be given in the audi torium of the Edenton High School Wednesday evening, November 18, at 8 o’clock, will be illustrated by 100 beautiful slides and will be told in excellent English, with dramatic quality, full of intimate details which take the audience “behind the scenes.” Miss Kutz, who has been a student in Rollins College during the past year and this year has been giving the story of the great play to Amer ican audiences, is a native of Bava ria. Her family has lived in Ober ammergau for four hundred years. k The first “Christus,” Jacob Rutz, playing that part in 1634 was her ancestor. Critical comments of her work are full of praise, E. Rodman Shipper j having this to say:. “I have had the privilege of seeing Anny Rutz in the difficult part of ‘The Virgin Mary’ at Oberammergau. Utter simplicity, deep sincerity and religious feeling were the qualities that moved us. One felt that she lived the part. Her talk, illustrated by slides, vividly brought the Passion Play back to mind. She succeeded in communicating to her audience the very spirit of Oberammergau. Inci dentally, her excellent English and clear enunciation made it easy to follow her.” The Florida Times Union of Jack sonville, makes this comment: “Seldom has an audience here been pleased and captivated by a speaker as quickly as it was last night when Miss Anny Rutz, wearing native Bavarian clothes, vividly described the Passion Play.” • * .

C., week-end guest of Mr. ' and Mrs. S. W. Taylor. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Hector Lupton, Mr. and Mrs. W- S. Privott, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Goodwin, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Blow, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Jones, Miss Helen Goodwin, Guy Hobbs, John Richard White and Stuart Blow. / ' | HEARD ' and ! SEEN ' * Raleigh Hollowell took yours truly ( down in the Rocky Hock section as- 1 ter some squirrels last week, but like 1 the farmers in that neck of the 1 woods, those bloomin’ squirrels are c mighty shrewd —in fact so shrewd 1 that I could get up with only one 1 each time. I’m not telling how many t Raleigh shot because we didn’t agree < on the number before leaving each c other. At any rate while out on one of these trips Harvey Thomas drop- i ped the following letter on my desk: < Dear Buff: I know your early < morning squirrel hunting exploits of * late have made you neglect more lm- 1 portant things, so, perhaps, like all t editors, you have fallen behind in 1 your reading. But Ido hope you’ve i been following this good scamp, s King Edward, and his Baltimore ladye friend. It’s a case of Dußarry and Pompadour busting in again, '• and I’m surprised The Chowan Her- i aid hasn’t featured it weekly on the 1 front page. Just look and see what this boy King has done! He has i given Mrs. Simpson a $125,000 emer ald necklace! Besides, he has bought '• her a beautiful black sedan automo bile. And there may be many other such little trinkets that haven’t 1 crashed the papers yet. Not a bit like lovers in other countries. In < Ireland, so they say, men give their,i wives or sweethearts a black eye. In I Italy it’s an opera ticket. In Spain I it’s a serenade. In Eskimo land it’s 1 i the skin of a bird’s foot filled with lard. In middle Africa it’s a nifty carved skewer to stick through the belle’s lip, maybe so nobody else can kiss her. In Mexico it’s a shawl. And in Edenton, so Bill Everett tells me, it’s a string of smoked herring. But in England, oh my, love comes high! Certainly we can be happy we have a President who hasn’t started off any such crazy ideas as a $125,000 emerald necklace or a de luxe Hispano Suiza automobile. However, what of it? I’m glad I’m not sweethearting in 1936—1 know I couldn’t buy a string for the necklace nor even a change of oil for the auto. But then I’m not a King, though I did hold three Queens the other night and they didn’t do me a bit of good. o Parson Ashby has a pet duck and knows something about them. He, Good Second-Hand Peanut Bags For Sale These bags are of the same quality that proved so satisfactory to the many farmers who used them last year. They are not per fect, but we consider them better and more uniform in size than most of the so-called “re-built” bags. Stop by and look them over ... and get our prices. It may result in a considerable saving to you. The Edenton Peanut Co. PHONE 34 EDENTON, N. C. Chevrolet’s fully-enclosed Knee-Action is furnished at no extra cost on the Master De Luxe models; and new Syncro-Mesh transmission, and safety plate glass all around at no extra cost, feature all models of both series. I therefore, clipped the following from the “Country Gentleman”, by Leon W. Dean, which is passed on to Her ald readers. As for me I like the last sentence of the piece best. Here ’tis s QUACK! QUACK! Take the duck. “As funny as a duck,” or a “queer duck,” we say. A bird that can give rise to a house hold expression is more than a bird; he’s a national figure. Maybe the duck knows it. Perhaps that’s why he tries to be solemn and dignified. He’s like a lot of human beings in this respect; the more solemn and dignified he becomes, the more ludi crous he is. Take a hen, now, and there’s noth ing dignified about her. She’s just an ordinary farmyard citizen like the rest of us, and if she wants to stop and scratch her back in the middle of the street, no one is going to think much about it; but when a portly duck goes waddling down the road and stops to scratch his back, someone is going to let out a laugh. That’s what he gets for being a duck. A duck starts being funny right after he cracks the shell, and never recovers. Like a lot of other folks he doesn’t know how funny he is. When a duck is one day and six minutes old he takes careful aim at the nearest fly on a blade of grass and makes a stab. He misses the fly and goes on his nose. He’s al ways trying to do too much. In his own puddle he’s graceful as a pen nant in the breeze, but get him on dry land and Pop-eye, the sailorman, : never misbehaved like one of these. ! His only salvation is not to hurry; but unless he hurries his legs never Iget him anywhere. The duck’s vocabulary is limited to one word. The one word is so ex pressive, however, that some people have been called quacks. The duck expresses his feelings, makes love, announces his decisions, talks over family affairs, transacts business, greets his friends, is ribald to his enemies, proclaims his advent into the world and utters his final fare well with that one word. Only the accent and rate of speech are varied. It’s his medium of ad vice and complaint on the march, his manner of request, command, warn ing and entreaty. Man, with one syllable at his dis posal, could do worse than emulate the duck. As it is, the average citi zen often talks too much and says too little. So go ahead and take the duck—l’ll take mine either roast or fried. MRS. LINDSEY EVANS HOSTESS Mrs. Lindsey Evans gave a lovely dinner party Saturday evening at her home at Cross Roads in honor of Miss Orene Hollowell and her guest, Miss Frances Raleigh, of Reidsville. Mrs. Evans’ guests were Miss Orene Hollowell, Miss Frances Raleigh, Miss Frances Evans, Miss Marian Fiske, Miss Marjorie Hefren, and Norman and Bertram Hollowell. A delicious four course dinner was served.
