COLLEGE WRITER
PUTS OVER FAST
ONE ON JIMMIE
While a crowd of two. thou
sand fretted and fumed, pushed
and shoved outside, a corre
spondent of the Stanford Daily,
credentialless as the day he was
born, walked past prominent
lawyers and public men into the
courtroom in Los Angeles where
Mayor Jimmie Walker was pre
paring to plead the case of Tom
Mooney.
The college newsman got the
greatest thrill of the day, how
ever, when he sat down between
Mayor, Walker and Governor
Jimmie Rolph of California,
asked the New York Herald
correspondent for three sheets
of paper and said, in a very pro
fessional tone of voice, "Which
one of these guys is Walker
A grim, bare-toothed glance
from one of the men beside him
was answer enough.
PRESS BOOKS ON
. DISPLAY IN STATE
Practically the entire publica
tion of the University of North
Carolina Press has been on dis
play this week in prominent
book shops of Greensboro and
Winston-Salem under the per
sonal supervision of members
of the staff of the press. Cir
cular letters have been mailed to
all alumni in the two cities in
forming them of the special dis
play. W. T. Couch, assistant di
rector of the University Press,
is personally in charge of the
books exhibited at the Book
Shop in Greensboro. Mr. I. C.
Griffith, of the staff , is directing
the display at Watkins Book
Store in Winston-Salem. Both
displays will be continued
throughout the remainder of
the week, and the directors of
the exhibits will be with them
daily.
Although the entire publish
ed work of the University
Press will be displayed, volumes
especially exhibited and offered
for sale are Stories of the
South, edited by Addison Hib
bard; Julia Collier Harris bio
graphy of her father, Joel
Chandler Harris: Editor and
Essayist; Nonnulla, by Bishop
Cheshire, in both editions ; and
The Virginia Plutarch, by Rob
ert Bruce.
Smith's Gift
E. C. Smith, manager of
the Carolina theatre, presents
as his Christmas gift to the
parents of Chapel Hill a ten
cent rate on movies at any
hour for such persons of the
village as are under fifteen
years of age. r
This has been planned to
offset the much discussed ten
percent cut in salaries put
into effect this fall.
Will Attend Conference
Dr. A. W. Hobbs, dean of the
college of liberal arts ; Charles
T. Woollen, business manager of
the University; and Robert W.
Fetzer, athletic director of the
University, have accepted an in
vitation to attend the annual
meeting of the Southern Confer
ence at Tulane university, Wed
nesday, December16. The meet
ing this year, at New Orleans,
will take up the important ques
tion of the proposed split in the
conference. It will be in session
until Saturday.

Brothers, was slightly miscast.
Lily May had lines and action
that indicated a more sharp,
flat-voiced, ascetic woman. She
should have been passionate and
nasal. It is to Muriel's credit
that she handled the role con
vincingly in spite of its unsuit
ability. That cannot be said of
Aileen Ewart, as Mary Broth
ers. She, too, wras miscast,
much more horribly than was
Muriel. , She was too well
dressed, too mannerly, too pol
ished to be the mill worker
daughter of Lily May Brothers.
Hugh Wilson, as Lije Benson,
gave the proper stolidity to his
part." Marion Tatum was accept
able as Aver Benson, his wife.
Loretto Bailey, contrary to
the hopes of the audience, and
the notes on the program, did
not re-create her Kizzie, of
Job's Kinfolks. She handled her
Mammy King with freshness,
and with the understanding she
felt for her brain-child.
Closs Peace was a pert Annie
King. Edgar Broadhurst made
his Lance Tillet a bit too light.
Tom Follin, as Uncle Jake, was
one of the first convincing old
men we have ever seen on the
Playmaker stage. George Field
man made Peel, the organizer,
interesting, but Philip Markley,
as his successor, fell down with
an audible thud.
Probably the best of the even
ing, though unintentionally,
was William Clifford, as the
"not-quite-briglit" Henry Mor
ris. The character was crisply
delineated by the authors, and
Clifford gave it the breath of
life it needed. He had the sort
of folk twang that makes folk
plays bearable. Charles Elledge
was his usual self as the store
keeper. He was back in his own
element, and comfortable. Ken
neth Reardon made an accept
able German printer, if you
overlooked his abortive attempt
at broken English, which only
extended to the occasional arti
culation of " Ja !". Henry Ander
son, out of the three "quality"
folks in Act II, came closest to
the feeling achieved by the folk
characters in the other acts.
Whitner-Bissell, as Stephen
Baird, made the young man es
sentially believable. Whitnes
success still lies in his stage-presence-of-mind.
Hejs at ease
in his roles. Forney. Rankin,
remembered from his chauffeur
bit in Saturday's Children, was
quite convincing as Red Thomp
son, the foreman. George Stone,
though the lights were such that
he could not be seen, made some
thing painfully realistic out of
Preacher McChristian. It was
this scene that seemed so awk
ward from the standpoint of
staging. The actors seemed un
certain about how to finish the
scene, apart from their feigned
uncertainty over which of the
two leaders to follow. Stone car
ried off his difficult part with
ease.
So the play ended on a sus
pended note, after the deaths of
several strikers, the arrival c
the militia, and the convert
scene would have been a smasC
but for the walk-out of the
strikers. The tone, the susp.
sion, the tension were carried
until the entrance of the siEg
ing crowd. Two of the women
(you know who you are) spoi
ed the entire effect, tore down
the dramatic structure that had
been erected so carefully bv
actors and authors, by over",
doing their parts in the march
out of the mill. For the sake of
the play, they should be sab
dued or taken out.
Markets Inspected
E. P. Carruthers, district san
itary s inspector m of the State
Board of Health, was in Chapel
Hill last week inspecting the sea
foods on sale at local markets.
