DEVIL'S ISLAND SETTING
FOR "CONDEMNED!" AT

-Of Polk's Letters

.TEABl PICKED BY
r DAHiY TAR HEEL
The University library has
recently been made the recipi-i
i-
ent of an interesting old let-
tery written to James K. Polki
presidentof the United States
and a member of the class of
1818. This letter was written
by. 'Alfred O. P. -Nicholson,,
; class of .1827, to the president
recommending the appoint-
ment of a young Tennesseean
to the U. S. navy as a midship-?
man.
Alexander B. Andrews,
class of 93, of Raleigh pre
sented the letter to the Uni
versity. Mr. Andrews saw: the
letter advertised in a collec
. tor's list and purchased it.
On the back of the letter
appears an indorsement of the
application written by J lY.
Mason, class of 1816 and Sec
retary of .the Navy in Polk's
cabinet:; .The indorsement or
ders the proper officials to
."prepare an appointment."
Nicholson, the author of the
letter, was a lawyer and an
editor! ; From. 1833 to; 1839
he served Tennessee as a mem
ber of the house of represen
tatives, and served in the U.
S. senate 1941-43, and again
in 1859-61. ' He was Chief
Justice of the Tennessee Su
preme court from 1870 to
1876.
The letter was written as
follows :
No one can deny that the local
color is authentic in "Con
demned!", the story of the
French penal colonies in South
America,' which has been made
into Ronald Colman's latest
starring picture and comes to
the Carolina theatre today. It
was adapted from "Condemned
to Devil's Island," last year's
best-selling novel by Blair Niles.
In order to gather authentic
material for this book, most of
which has been incoroprated in
the photoplay, Mrs. Niles se
cured the official permission of
the French government to visit
the famous Devil's Island prison
in French Guiana, permission
which has scarcely ever before
been granted to any journalist.
She was the . first white woman
ever to land on the shore of the
famous Devil's Island itself , and
the first individual io follow the
paths taken by escaping con
victs through the fever-infected
jungles which hem in the prison.
Born on a plantation near
Lynchburg, Ya., Mrs. Niles has,
traveled widely, and become one
of the most noted writers on
travel subjects in the English
speaking world. Her books in
clude masterly descriptions of
Ecuador, Colombia and Haiti, as
well as numerous contributions
to the best magazines. She has
been honored by election to the
English Royal Geographic Soci
ety and was one of the founders
of the Society of Women Geog
raphers. "Condemned to Devil's Isl
and," with its descriptions of
life in the most famous prison in
the world has been recognized
as her masterpiece. Brought
into international notice at the
time of the Dreyfqs scandal in
France, thirty years ago, Devil's
Island's peculiar horrors have
earned it the universal name of
"The Island of Living Death."
Her story of the attempted es
cape of the frenzied convict was
seized upon at once by Samuel
Goldwyn as an ideal vehicle for
Ronald Colman.

The fullback hole was harder to
fill. Two of the strongest can

STEINER THINKS THAT

Grinnell, la., Feb. 28 (IP)
Dr. Edawrd A. Steiner, of Grin

greatest menace to America is
"the tired business who wants
to get a kick out of life."
Dr. Steiner says that the
young people ought to bring
about a "revolt against the
morals of their fathers and
mothers." This procedure, he
says, may bring about the only
salvation for America.
