"TAMING OF THE
SHREW" GIVEN
BY PLAYMAKERS
Big Crowd Sees the First Pro
duction of the Year Given
in Forest Theatre
DIRECTION IS VERY GOOD
By Winsiow Mclver
Before a large and interested aud
ience, including many out-of-town
people, "The Taming of the Shrew,"
the opening performance of the Car
olina Playmakers, was presented with
booming success in the Forest Thea
tre Monday afternoon at four
o'clock. "The Taming of the Shrew,"
or "Katherine and Petruchio," is the
fifth play that has been produced in
the sylvan playhouse by the Caro
lina Playmakers, and bears a special
significance in that it commemorates
the tercentenary year of the publica
tion of "The First Folio of the Works
of William Shakespeare."
As a whole, the Playmaker'a first
production of the season was all that
-could be asked. It showed very able
direction, and went off with snap and
precision. At times there was a
lapse, which is characteristic of most
plays, and the players were often in
audible, though that may have been
due to the acoustics of the Forest
Theatre and not to their enuncia
tion. The cast was well chosen, and
all of them showed some degree of
ability on the stage.

STORMY SESSION
OF PHI SOCIETY
W. D. White Attacks the Ways
and Means Committee for
Negligence
Able defenses by J. O. Bailey and
Z. T. Fortesque in answer to an at
tack launched by W. D. White against
the Ways and Means Committee of
the Phi Assembly, Saturday night
brought oi't the most eloquent pleas
of the whole meeting.
Mr. White criticized the committee
for what he alleged to be negligence
of duty in not presenting more bills
and resolutions for the Assembly to
discuss. Mr. Bailey, the only mem
ber of the committee present, very
ably defended the actions of the com
mittee and called attention to the fact
that two bills framed by it will be
up for discussion next Saturday
night. He also gave statistics show
ing that the Committee has drawn up
more resolutions and bills than it is
possible for the Assembly to discuss.
Mr. Fortesque, although not a mem
ber of the Committee, likewise rose
to its defense.
A resolution introduced by the
Ways and Means Committee, endors
ing Governor Walton's action in the
recent Ku Klux Klan trouble in Ok
lahoma, was passed by a large ma
jority. The resolution called forth a
large amount, of discussion, the Ku
Klux and Governor Walton both com
ing in for some criticism before t.
vote was taken.
Resolutions seeking the Assembly
to go on record as approving the ac
tions of the Fetzers in taking the
second football team to Yale and to
record the Assembly as favoring a
severance of all. athletic relations
with Trinity college, were tabled in
definitely without any discussion.
In the absence of Speaker George
Hampton, Speaker-pro-tem F. P.

DELIGHTFUL PLAY
(By J. Osier Bailey)
Frankly, there is a good deal of
readable material in the October Car
olina Magazine, but we cannot say
there are more than two works of any
literary excellence. We are think
ing of Hsiung's play, The Thrice
Promised Bride, and of two little
quatrains masquing under the unin
spired name of "Curtain," signed by
"Spencer Gilliam."
Perhaps the chief charm of
Hsiung's lies in its exquisite delicacy
of word-music; and hardly less in the
native humor of the Chinese writer's
stage-craft. One of the local "liter
ati" recently said that his chief en
joyment in reading Shaw came from
the chuckles in his stage directions.
Hsiung glimpsed the value of such
off-stage comment by the author, and
used it to a delightful advantage!
"Curtain" is distinctly Art, and
smacks of Greenwich Town. It must
be read to be appreciated. If for no
other cause than this the play and
the poem the October issue of the
Magazine is worth-while.
There is a little bit of gospel in the
editorial page, but nothing very start
ling. Now let us wash the dishes!
If E iitor Feltor. of the Boll Wee
vil had reserved his "Mr. and Mrs.
Ha ) Hazard" to grace the pages of
thft much censured comic sheet, it
is our humble opinion that the Boll
Weevil circulation would have jump
ed. Apparently, the story is intend
ed to be humorous, but not funny. It
is funny! The funniest thing we
have come across in a coon's age was
the paragraph describing Mrs. Hap's
mental controversy as she was about
to enter her husband's supposedly
polluted bed-chamber. It is a good
story.
W. J. Cocke's book review is well
done, but does not scintillate.
Let us skip this business about
Student Government. Garland Porter

the Student Council, and the less the

Coming out in favor of cancella
tion of the Inter-Allied war debt and
stating that President Coolidge will
be nominated in 1924 by the Repub
licans on a platform asking entrance
of the United States into the World
Court, Judge Robert W. Winston,
long identified with the University,
a lawyer and jurist of national note,
and a Tar Heel ranks in the forefront
as a man of letters, Sunday night de
livered his impression of the Wil
liamston conference in a special
sermon delivered at the Chapel Hill
Presbyterian church.
Cancellation of the war debt Judge
Winston stamped as the only meth
od, the easiest method, and the simp
lest method of settling the perplex
ing problems arising from the World
War.

DI SOCIETY IS
AGAINST FARMER
Vote 33 to 48 That the Govern
ment Should Not Guarantee
the Wheat Farmer a
Fair Price
At the regular meeting Saturday
night, October 13, the Di Society vot
ed 33 to 48 after a sh ort discussion
that the federal government should
not guarantee the farmer a fair
price for his wheat. The affirma
tive was represented by Mr. Shep.
hard, and Messrs. Klingenschmitt,
Qroce, and Knowles spoke for the
negative.
Under new business, Mr. C. L.
H:.ney suggested that committee be
appointed by the president to have
the seats in the hall repaired. The
following committee was appointed:
Messrs. C. L. Haney, A. E. Mcln-
tyre, and Kennett.
Several members spoke in regard
to the seeming lack of interest of the
society members in the discussions.
One purpose of the society is to give
its members practice in public speak
ing and therefore every member
should speak and express his opinion
on the question up for discussion at
every opportunity. Freshmen were
urged especially to start right in the
beginning and get in the habit of
speaking.
Two new men were taken into the
society and initiated. They were G
H. Norton of Albemarle and T. C
Quickel Jr., Gastonia.
W. J. Cocke was acting secretary
in the absence fo the regular secre
tary, A. L. Groce.

PLANS PAGEANT
High Point Pageant Will Have
Three Governors and Carolina
Playmakers as Attractions
High Point's "Pageant of Prog
ress," occurring October 25, and cel
ebrating the good roads work in
North Carolina, has the distinction
of being one of the most elaborate
occasions of its kind that has ever
been staged in this State. High
Point has been extravagant in an at
tempt to make "The Pageant" a suc
cess, as is clearly shown in her care
ful selection of attractions.
Chief among the many attractions
will be the governors of three states,
a cabinet member and the Carolina
Playmakers. Governor Morrison of
North Carolina, Governor McLeon of
South Carolina, and Governor Trin
kle of Virginia will be the three state
officials, while Mr. Work, Secretary
of the Interior, will be the other no
table. In addition, there will be nu
merous visitors of prominence.
The University plays an import
ant part in the "Pageant," being well
represented by the Carolina Playmak
ers, of State-wide fame. On the eve
ning of October 25, the Playmakers
present two original folk plays in
the new municipal theatre, which
ranks with the best in the State.
The two plays to be given are ones
that have attracted considerable at
tention within the past two years,
and are readily regarded as two of
the best ever produced. They are to
be supported with the original casts
that appeared here.
The two plays to be presented are:
"Wilbur's Cousin," a comedy of col
lege life, by Ernest Thompson, and
"When Witches Ride," a play of folk
superstition, by Elizabeth Lay.
"Wilbur's Cousin," by Ernest
Thompson, attracted immediate at
tention and was an instant hit where
pver it was. played. The cast is as
follows:
Wilbur Atkins Spencer Murphy
Jelly Bean Jones II. W. Barber, Mr.
Blake Hoyt Boone, Mrs. Blake
Kitty Lee Frazier, Stella Sue Byrd
Thompson, George Williams Ernest
Thompson.
"When Witches Ride," by Eliza
beth Lay is a powerful drama that
gained recognition on its presenta
tion. The cast is as follows:
Uncle Benny Russell Potter, Ed,
his Son Bob Pickens, Jake, railroad
engineer George Denny, Phoebe
Ward, a Witch Pearl Setzer.

Chief Casey is planning on letting
the Raleigh folks and State College
Students take a peek in on his mar
vellous one ring, four act exhibition,
guaranteed to be the greatest and
most stupendous in the State. It has
been confidentially announced to the
University Student Body that he is
planning to show how to stave off
the simultaneous attack of eleven
famished and ferocious wolves with
his company composed of "Monk,"
"Rabbit," "Goat" and some eight
other trained sensations.
Carolina should win the game. Her
line is better, her backfield is super
ior. Wake Forest and Trinity have
been beaten, and in both cases with
comparative ease. Both of the van
quished team were heralded as won
ders, mysteries and sure winners.
Both have discovered that 'twas all
in vain.
State's team suffered more from
the loss of men than did Carolina.

the band was one of the finest things
that he had seen on the Hill. At the
Trinity game it brought forth much
favorable comment. On next Thurs
