Paul Green -will read his lat
est play "Johnny Johnson" from
the stage of the Playmakers
theater Sunday night at 8:30.
"Johnny Johnson," Green's!
satirical anti-war drama, was '
recently produced in New York -
by the Group theater, where it ';
i j i i '. i
was acciaimea Dy critics as
"'something' new in modern
drama."
In Review
Speaking of the play, Richard
Watts, Jr., leading critic of the
New York Herald Tribune, says,
"It is a disturbing and often
hilarious medley of satire, cari
cature, musical comedy, melo
drama, farce, and parable. . . .
A sardonic fable of the World
War, half burlesque and half
bitterness."
Green began nis career as a
playwright here at the Univer
sity when the Playmakers pro
duced many of his plays. In
1928 his negro drama, f'la. Abra
ham's Bosom," was awarded the
Pulitzer Prize, and since then
Chapel Hill has seen the pre
miere of two of his plays,
"Shroud My Body Down," and
"The Enchanted Maze." This
year he returned to the Univer
sity as a lecturer and consultant
for the newly-formed depart
ment of dramatic arts.

Student -Faculty
Weekly Tea Plan
Will Start soon
Kattsoff Emphasizes That In
formal Gatherings Will
Not Be "Booting"
The plan for holding a weekly
student-faculty day over tea
cups in Graham Memorial, ori
ginated -by Dr. L. O. Kattsoff,
philosophy professor, and re
cently passed by the Graham
Memorial board directors, will
go into effect in about 2 weeks.
One hundred and fifty dollars
has been granted by the union
for this purpose.
"We should- have student-fac
ulty day here every day," com
mented Dr. Kattsoff, "but since
that isn't probable, these weekly
teas will help. The gatherings
will be entirely informal, any
student or faculty member may
drop in for a chat and a cup of
tea and everything will be done
to cu the formality."
"It should be emphasized;
Dr. Kattsoff continued, "that
tne question of so-called 'boot
ing will be in no way consider
ed. The purpose of the gather
ings is to bring students and
faculty members closer together
and no student need think that
he is 'booting' if he attends."
