"In Abraham's Bosom," Leading

YEAR'S BEST PLAY

CRITICS PRAISE GREEN
Fhilosophy Professor Has Un-
' usual Success With His 1st
Broadway Production.
Paul Green's play In Abra
ham's Bosom was moved from
the Vrovincetown Theatre to the
Garrick Theatre, which is in the
heart of the theatrical district,
last Monday, and is now playing
to capacity houses.
In his review of In Abraham's
Bosom at its opening at the Gar
rick Theatre, Percy Hammand,
dramatic critic for the New
York Herald Tribune, says: "In
Abraham's Bosom moved up
from the Village last night ac
companied by a report that it
is the leading suitor for the Pul
itzer Prize. Whispers from the
juryroom Mnt that Professor
Green's negro drams' precedes
Mr. Anderson's Saturday's Chil
dren by an eyelash in the com
petition and that the umpires
are t about to crown it as the
year's most improving play. . It
would be quite an upset if this
barefoot from the netherlands
should walk away with the re
ward of merit, leaving its more
urban rivals Broadway, The
Barker, Chicago, and others - to
console themselves in prosperous
disappointment. A delicate sense
of ethics forbids a lay judge to
intrude on the deliberations with
his own casual beliefs ; and this
one will be content with opin
ing that "In Abraham's Bosom
is worthy enough todeserve, if
not the Pulitzer riband, a chap
let similarly azure."

its second dance of the quarter

of A. T. 0., Zeta Psi and Kappa
Alpha are giving atwilight hop
at the Carolina Inn.
At its dance tonight the Or
der of the Grail will innovate a
new policy concerning its social
affairs and the function is being
heralded as a gratifying de
parture from the usual custom.
The new policy has been adopted
by the order with a view of im
proving the general tone of its
dances and thereby making them
more enjoyable. Out of respect
to the girls attending, it was de
cided to eliminate crowded con
ditions as much as possible by
imiting the number of stags.
Hereafter the first arrivals will
be admitted until a certain hour
after which no unescorted boys
will be allowed to go on the floor.
t is hoped that this rule will also
help get the dance under way
earlier. There will be solo
waltzes which are intended to
allow the girls . a few dances
without breaking. Special fea
ture acts of entertainment have
been planned to break the mo
notony of intermission. The
Carolina Buccaneers have been
engaged to make the music.

Hybrid Visits Hill and Attracts Stu
dents by Unusualness of .Construction.
Composed of Chrysler wheels
and radiator, Oldsmobile engine,
Franklin windshield, queer, flat
headlights and a body of un
known antecedents, an automo
tive monstrosity created quite
a bit of interest on Chapel Hill
streets yesterday morning. The
strange-appearing vehicle was
parked n front of the Metho
dist church on Franklin street
for several hours.
The interior of the car, arrang
ed with only a small driver's seat
in front, allowing a good deal of
space for baggage, was as freak
ish as the exterior. A large cab
inet radio and several sample
cases were included in-" the heter
ogenous assortment of fittings
discernible through the windows.
Low and "rakish, the hybrid
auto presented an appearance
that was unusual in the extreme.
Investigation revealed, that
the car was the property of E. A.
Harris, Trenton, New Jersey,
salesman. ...
The decisive game of the Car
olina-Maryland basketball series
is scheduled foe tonight at the
Tin Can. ItSvill be the third
meeting of the contestants, as
they previously faced one anoth
er when the Tar Heels made
their annual northern invasion
of Washington and vicinity a
week ago.
The first meeting of the Old
Liners and Carolina resulted in
a 28 to 23 victory for the for
mer. They met the following
afternoon in a suddenly arrang
ed game, and the Tar Heels
avenged their defeat of the pre
vious night by the score of 32
to 23. With the count standing
one victory each, both teams are
pointed for the clash as the final
means of determining which is
superior. ? . -
An odd feature of the game
or rather the setting' of the
game is that neither team has
as yet suffered another confer
ence defeat besides the one re
ceived at the hands of the other.
The game tonight will also be
the final conference, game fo,r
both institutions before their de
parture for the Conference tour
nament at Atlanta next week.

proved quint since their north
