DUNGAN In the tour bill that Professor Fred erick, Koch, and Hubert Heffner have chosen three of the strongest plays that their organization has ever pro duced, "will be used for their second annual northern tour bilk,' .The Chapel Hill performances of the play' .will be given Tuesday .and Wednesday ' eve nings. '" '' ' -.' 'y':'-Vf -' -f V V ' Paul Green's Quare Medicines" and "The 'Man -Who-' Died - at- Twelve O'clock", are considered by his critics to. be two of his, best, plays, and sin cere. . , ; - - , i In -"Quare Medicine" the' local' fem inists will probably have a piece. hat they can take issue with,, as Paul Green, a very masculine man, him self, delineates in comic fashion how a husband1 and' his';' father ' conspire with an itinerant medicine vendor to regain the . control of their household from arch cleanliness and .the ltfcal foreign mission society. In this as in all of Green's plays you will find no moralizing,' no obtruding philos ophy, but straight . story telling The negro play, "The Man Who Died at Twelve 0 'Clock," which is the first attempt of the Playmakers to stage an all colored play, has to-do with the schemes of a young colored man and his fiancee, which result in their ob taining the young woman's dowry and the reformation of the old man, who is a confirmed inebriate. The final play of the 'bill, which is by Loretto Carroll Bailey, , is "Job's Kinf oiks." It was presented to Play makers audiences last spring and was taken by, the' organization when they made their western North Carolina tour. In "Job's Kinf oiks" the thrusts of Mrs. Bailey's pen are as poignant as the poinards of the knight-errant of old. - The play is the heart throb from mill life in Winston-Salem and has to do with the struggle of a mother to keep her,-daughter from being taken into custody, by correc tion authorities. . : Will Meet Tonight The Elisha; Mitchell' Scientific Sor ciety will offer its first meeting of year, and its 30.7th one of its exist ence in .the lecture room -of Phillips Hall tonight at sevn-thirty o'clock.
