DEVEREUX AND
GRAF PLAY FOR
SUMMER SCHOOL
Company of Two Portray Poetic
Spanish Drama by the
? Quinteros.
"The Romance of Youth," a
charming play that delt with the
love of Berto Cellini, the scrape
grace son of a village innkeep
er, 'for Aurea, the daughter of
the Duke de la Fontana, was
given for the Summer School
student body in Memorial Hall
last Friday evening by, the Dev
ereux Players of New York.
The play was an adaptation
of "La Flor de la Vida," by Sera
fin" and Joaquin Alvarez-Quin-tero.
In the play the Quinteros
never for a moment lost sight
of their true object the paint
ing of manners, illustrating
character, and the welding to
gether of both by means of emo
tion. - i
As the play was interpreted
by Clifford Devereux and Zinita
Graf it became a brilliant thing
depicting with rare fidelity the
manners and customs of Old
Spain.
The play was unusual in that
the whole thing was done by Mr.
Devereux and Miss Graf a cast
of two. It was well handled at
that, and only when they had
to talk to some character off
stage did the audience remember
that most plays used more than
one man and one woman. This
silence off stage when the char
acters were "listening to some
body talk" was the only flaw in
the otherwise smooths perform
ance. .
The three acts of the play
were 15 and 30 years apart, and
the characters in their make-up,

On Thursday and Friday of
this week the Summer School
student body' will have their
first and only opportunity . of
seeing the widely known local
organization known as the Car
olina Playmakers.
Summer Piaymaker work has
been in. the hands of Prof. Hu
bert Heffner. Prof. Koch, the
founder and director, is at Berk
ley, California, where he is
teaching in the University of
California Summer School.
Classes have been running
through both terms in playwrit
ing and play production, with
Mr. Heffner in charge of both.
It is the group studying pro
duction that has been responsi
ble for the staging of the two
plays selected . for the summer
program. This program, con
sisting of two plays, is said to
be typical of the type of work
done by this group. It has been
planned and executed for the
sole reason of allowing summer
students an opportunity of see
ing something of the work this
organization is doing.
The plays will be presented in
the Piaymaker Theatre, the first
state owned theatre devoted to
the development of a native
drama.
For the past two weeks Wil
liam Norment Cox and Shep
perd Strudwick have been tak
ing a large part of the work of

M'INTOSH WILL
COME HERE AS
ASSISTANT DEAN
Takes Place of S. G. Chappell
Who Goes to Shelby.
C. R. Mcintosh, who for the
last five years has been principal
of the Rock Springs High School,
will come to the University this
fall, in the capacity of assistant
to Dean N. W. Walker, head of
the School of Education.
Mr. Mcintosh is a graduate of
the University, having received
his degree in 1911. Since that
time he has been engaged in edu
cational work in the State. For
the first two years following his
graduation he was head of the
department of history in the
Durham high school, and then
spent four years as Chief Clerk
and Secretary to the State Board
of Examiners in the State De
partment of Public Instruction.
He afterwards served as super
intendent of the schools of Hick
ory. . ;. 'v .: '
While connected with the
Durham high school, Mr. Mcin
tosh conceived the idea of the
state high school debating union,
which has been a remarkable
success since its , organization,
and has created more interest in
the high schools of the state
than any other agency.
Mr. Mcintosh will assume his
new duties August 15. He re
lieves Mr. S. G. Chappell who
will go to Shelby to become prin
cipal of the high school there.
In order to bring the students
and faculty of the Law School
into a co-operative relationship
with the members of the bench
and bar, and to lessen the gap
between class room and library,
and the court room and law of
fice, the Law School Association
announces a series St lectures by
prominent members of the bench
and bar of North Carolina on
the various phases of the prac
tice of law. A number of these
lectures will center about the
steps in a trial from its origin to
its conclusion, involving: estab
lishment of a law practice ; prep
aration of a case for trial; ex
amination of. witnesses ; argu
ment of a case before court and
jury; and preparation of brief
and argument of case before Ap
pellate Court.
Office Practice Studied ;
In addition to these lectures
on trial practice, the Law School
Association announces for the
year 1927-28 a series of lectures
by prominent members of the
bench and bar on various phases
of office practice including an
extensive study of the drawing
of contracts, deeds, wills, the
formation of corporations, and
the preparation of the various
instruments a lawyer has to pre
pare in the, course of his prac
tice. 0'
These lectures will be incor
porated into a course in office
practice for which credit will be
given by the Law School.
Course in Trial Practice
The Trial Practice course, to
be offered in the Law School
this fall will seek to bring the
trial court into the class-room.
The case-book method will be
used to conduct the student
through the various 'stages of
the actual trial of causes from
the issuance of summons by the
clerk of the court, to the final
entry on the "judge's docket.
Beginning with the jurisdic
tion of the court over person or
res, the student proceeds to the
issuance of summons, the inser
tion of publication for construc
tive service, to the return day.
Proceeding to the day of trial,
the student will watch the for
mation of a jury panel, make his
own challenges, and see the jury
sworn. Then he will make an
opening statement, and criticise
the conduct of opposing counsel
from opening statement to clos
ing argument ; he will allege and
save exceptions to the admis
sion of evidence, and move for
dismissal, non-suit, or directed
