matic scene, remove the remnants of
a hearty meal from his lips with his
shirt-sleeve, even though these su
perior persons have only recently
had it upon the authority of Emily
Post and The Book of Etiquette that
people who wish to get on in tho so
cial world utilize only the folded
square of linen beside the plate for
this purpose. And it is an amusing
anomaly that the one audience from
which one would expect sympathetic
silence, if not rapt attention, is the
first to spoil the climax of a Green
opus by inanely laughing at the ef
forts of a peculiarly gifted girl in a
most difficult passage, the hysteri
cal moments. Someone has said the
American people have as good gov
ernment as they deserve. Yet some
people have the temerity to reprove
me because I find myself unable to
warm up to this Frank Crane balder
dash anent brotherly love, etc.
Now to leap the footlights. If one
person in the ensemble were to be
singled out for contributing most to
the success of the evening, that per
son would be Frances Gray. She is
the find of the year, and so rarely
does the opportunity come for unal
loyed praise that it is difficult to re
frain from the adjectivial usage and
verbal pyrotechnics of the Kochopho-
biac who maunders around in the Wil
derness of the Tar Heel and the jun
gle of the Magazine. Fancy Fanny
writing the only character study of
civilized woman that the Playmakers
have had as yet; a study character
ized by a subtlety that rivals some
of the woefully weak plays that
Mrs. Fiske has made successful. Miss
Majette's role was admirably suited
to "Miss Nelly's" creator. The com
parison is not invidious from the
point of view of either the author
or the interpreter of "Mrs. Agnes
Miller," the central character of the
"Beaded Buckle." Miss Majette eame
up to all expectations and gave the
most finished performance of the eve
ning. Our bow made to the Indies,
we turn to bestow the laurel upon
Messrs. Hawkins, Pritchert, and
Shackell for executing the most me
ritorious work among the n:ala con
tingent. There were other3, of
course, in minor roles, who were com
mendable. Claudius Mintz and Char
les Dees were portraits from life, and
Miss Vinton Liddell did much in a
few deft strokes in the opening of
the "Beaded Buckle" to definitely
identify the play. With her first
speeches came the assurance that the
piece was going over in fini fashion.
Servants of God
Playmakers always seem to have
difficulty in bringing the curtain
raiser around to top form "Cob's"
play was one of the best of a serious
nature put on of late. But it had
suffered from cutting, and perhaps
the psychology at times is open to
criticism. I refer to Jackson's out
burst in the last lines, his condem
nation of the minister as a thief. The
preceding tragic event, I hold, would
temper even such a deep-dyed villain
as Jackson. What makes the play
notable is the incisiveness of the
character portrayal, the remarkable
economy with which he secures his
effects. The dialogue ha- a bice to
it, and the narrative a provocative
kinship with the affairs of every
day, small-town life. Jim Hawkins,
the most promising actor in the fold'
to my way of thinking, carried off
the leading role in excellent fashion.
His passionate outburst which
brought the climax was certainly ev
erything that could be asked for.
Beyond the rather commonptoee crit
icism that he was made up rather
after the juvenile fashion, there is
only the suggestion that the deep
worry and perturbation might have
been tinged with more of a brooding
despair and melancholy. But I be
lieve that most of the small -town
sky-pilots, and this is infinitely more
tragic, bow their heads to the Jack
son's and sink into submissive
apathy. Spencer Murphy's voice is
admirably adapted to the villainous
role of Jackson, but he did r.ot leave
the idea, for all of this, that he was
the domineering master of the town.

He is not at his best in this sort of
part. Martha Royster, as the child,
was another bright spot in this piay.
All of the stewards parts were well
taken, but Duckworth and Dees seem
ed especially good.
"Servants of God" did not have the
care taken with it on the direction
and, evidently, that the others did,
but it possessed striking merits of
its own that were supplemerted by
excellent acting from Hawkins.
"The Beaded Buckle"'
Miss Gray's play is the nearest ap
proach to high comedy seen lately on
the Playmaker stage. There has been
so much hokum, so much slap-stick
comedy bordering on the farcical. The
"Buckle" felt the touch of woman's
hand; it was deftly sketched, and ur
bane and altogether delightful.

ding suffreed complete losses, since
neither had a bit of insurance. O'
Kelly was probably the heavier loos
er, since the Mayor lost little more
than the projection machines. Of
course Brockwell, being the owner of
he building lost more than either of
them, since he had nothing to cover
his loss either. A short time ago,
he was offered thirty thousand dol
ars for his building, but he refused
;he offer.
However, the cost of replacing the
building will be considerably less
han the cost of building one all over,
since the walls are unhurt and the
and is already graded properly.
New Building Soon
Mr. Brockwell stated that work on
he new building will begin Monday
morning, if possible. He says that
the work will be pushed as fast as
iossib!e and after it is once under
way, it should not take over about
,wo months to complete the build
ng. The new building will be much
more modern and more comfortable
than the old one was. It will be
well ventilated and, what is most im
ortant, it will have a good screen
-nd efficient projection machines, S3
that tue pi.ture can be seen with
out any strain on the eyes from any
joat in the house.
Movie Bus to Durham
Meanwhile the student body as a
whole will save some two hours tnd
two bits each night. The professors
)f the university should join in with
the students in the feeling of joy
that the old "Pic" is gone, since they
:an feel more sure now that the
iaily assignments will be better, pre
pared. Never the less, those v. ho
;iave been severely bitten by the
movie bug can still find solace in
Durham. With that in view, Pender-
jraft has put on a Movie Special,
which is to run every night to Dur
ham and back. It will leave at six
hirty and return at ten thirty. A

Gerrard Hall Movies
Last Saturday night, the picture
scheduled to be shown at the Pick
was shown free in Gerrard Hall. The
screen was poor and the machine
poorer than the one in the Pick one
)f those that you crank by hand,
but the house was nearly full at both
shows. It is doubtless the first time
'hat a free picture show hai ever
been given in Chapel Hill. It was
also accompanied by music just as
if it had been in the Pick itself. The
only thing absent was the usual bom
bardment of peanuts. This show was
given through the courtesy of Mayor
Roberson. It is rumored that there
may be another show Monday night,
but there is nothing definitely plan
ned yet.
The Old Pickwick is gone, with all
its pleasant hours of amusement and
its picturesque atmosphere. All chat
remains unhurt and unchanged it. the

bigger and better Pickwick of the

break and the light is good.
