Playwright Kermit Hunter To Speak At Campbell Folk School On May 5 The success of Kermit .Hunter's Cherokee Indian drama, "Unto These Hills", has made him one of the most sought-after playwrights in the country, Cherokee County people will have an opportunity to hear an address by him on May 5, when he has accepted an invitation to speak at the 25th anniversary celebration of John C. Campbell Folk School. With the nation becoming more and more outdoor-drema-con srious, the University of North Car olina English instructor has been contacted by at least five commu nities in the South and East to write regional folk plays. And now he has been commis sioned to write a play around the life of James Rutledge for the state of Illinois by the New Salem Lin coln League of Petersburg. The production will open July 1 In an outdoor theatre in the restored village of New Salem. Hunter, a native of Welch, West Virginia, is presently in Spring field, HI., where he la bard at work completing the script and writing the musical score for the drama which is yet untitled. He plans to be here for the sec ond season opening of "Unto These Hills" at Mountainside Theatre, June 23, and then will fly bade to HUnois tor the premiere of hie new show. Before beginning wortt on the Illinois play, Hunter completed rewriting the final scene in "Unte These Hills", giving a new twist to the end. He also brought some of the earlier scenes into closer relation with the Tsall story. Hunter said that in writing the Illinois play he had found many lelationships between its theme and the Cherokee history in the Great Smokies "I am happy to find the relation ships," he said "There were white men begging Andrew Jackson to use a policy of tolerance and un derstanding toward the Indians, as happened In the Cherokee history. "Here are North and South Car olina residents packing their be longings and setting out In prairie schooners for the plains of Hlinois. even the forbears of Lincoln and Ann Rutledge. "Here are the people, good and bad, in despair and triumph, all of them richly characteristic 01 the great panorama of America". Hunter explained that the task was not one of finding material but of selecting incidents out of a great mass of history and legend. "Here are Jefferson Davis and Albert Sydney Johnson as lieuten ants in the same outfit with Rob ert Anderson, who later comman ded Fort Sumter. "Here an Abe Lin coin, a private in the same group with Col. Zach ory Taylor U command; Black Hawk and Keokuk, tan great In dian leaders of the Sac and Foot, the ant Indian Nattoo which la ter produeed Jim Thorpe, famous inaian ioocoaii piayer; /vim nui | ledge, one of the great formative influences in the life of Lincoln, j "And most significant of all," | he said, "here is again the strug j g!e of men for the land, the strug gle to build and develop, the whole tragedy and trmmph of the Amer ican past." Hunter, a graduate of the Uni versity off North Carolina, is a poet, musician and tgacher as well as a playwright whose first com mercial production, "Unto These Hills", was seen by more than 100,000 persons in Mountainside Theatre. He has lived in North Carolina since immediately after World War II when he became the first bus : in ess manager of the North Caro ! lina Symphony Orchestra. | He won the Vanderwater Poetry .Prize at Ohio State University in [ 1931, and in 1933 he won the West Virginia Young Artists' contest in . piano after studying at Julliard I in New York. Several communities in the i South and the Bast ire now inter I tsted in producing outdoor dramas rnd their representatives have dis cussed the pojeots with Hunter, it it more than likely be will write one or more when these pieces get HgaiSmi and raise funds for production. he wlH be buy this Caw on both ?'Unto Then Hills" the Now Salem -hrist Is The Answer For All The World" Is The Revival Theme April Court Term Begins Monday Superior Court will convene April 2 with Judge J.
