o Need For A New Playmaker Theatre
Ten years ago Phillips Russell, University professor of
Journalism, went to England. He went to Manchester, the
seat of a very active theatre movement. When it was discov
ered that he came from Chapel Hill, the first question asked
was a request for news of the Carolina Playmakers. And from
London yesterday came a letter announcing that Carolina's
Beverly Hamer has won in the International One-Act Play
competition with her mountain comedy, "Funeral Flowers
for the Bride."
In contrast with these international plaudits, listen to Lee
Simonson, scenic director of the Theatre Guild in New York,
"I cannot understand why, in the light of your unique and
tremendous accomplishment, the authorities will not give you,
do not see the necessity of giving you and the University, a
well-equipped playhouse." He was writing to Professor Koch
after his first visit to Chapel Hill.
The facts seem to bear out the truth of Simonson's assump
tions. Last year five performances of "Boy Meets Girl" were
given instead of the three planned; Johnny Johnson was re
peated once by popular demand. People were turned away
from the Playmaker theatre at five out of the six experi
' mental bills given last year. A few figures:
1. The total number of persons attending performances last
? year was 14,025. This did not include the 4300 people who at-
tendedthe 15th Annual Dramatic Festival. The theatre is not
large enough to hold the audiences.
2. 189 different players and technicians had an active part
in the 41 public performances. These 41 included 435 roles,
33 new one-act. plays written here and four full-length plays,
one, of which was an original production. BUT with as many
as ten cf these dramas being produced at'the same time, only
-V -one spot, the Playmaker stage itself, was available at all times
for rehearsals. More rehearsal space is needed.
3. The 18 feet which comprises the width of this stage is
vastly too small for the type of productions which the Play
makers are capable of producing. Further, the stage is too
small for the real technical training which the University
tries to give but cannot until better facilities are provided..
This is an almost insurmountable obstacle to aspiring tech
nicians and experimenters.
The concensus of opinion among theatrical experts is that
good scenery is necessary for good drama. But the Play
makers are handicapped in this regard also. They have no
place to store their scenery, properties, and costumes. The
stage is too small for large, elaborate sets; so they must get
along as best they can with inadequate settings for the very
adequate plays produced.
The plans for a new theatre to relieve the situation have
been ready for over a year, and a site between the Bell Tower
and the Tin Can has been approved. $350,000 is the sum
needed for a real theatre-building on this campus.
Public notice of the work of the Playmakers is legion.
Montrose Moses, the leading historian of the American thea
tre, several times has acclaimed the work being done here; 6
new volumes dealing with the American theatre and drama
gave favorable mention to our playhouse. Countless numbers
of periodicals attest the further wide reputation of the Play
makers. ' Maxwell Anderson, too, saw the Playmakers in action. The
famous critic said not long ago in the N. Y. World, "Professor
Koch has lifted an independent banner fn what New York
condescendingly refers to as the provinces, and his work is
more likely to be of more moment in the history of American
drama than all the manufacturers and importers of theatrical
novelties who are famous as producers in this city." v
Why not keep the banner flying? Why not make the money

Charles Paddock (Puddin')
Wales is a member of Sigma Nu
fraternity, but his field of great
est extra-curricular achievement
is the Interdormitory council, of
which he is now president after
having succeeded Tom Fry, who
resigned due to a heavy sched
ule of scholastic work this year.
He is beginning his fourth
year as a resident of 311 Old
East dormitory and has served
on the Interdormitory council as
many years. Last year he joined
the fraternity, but he retained
his dormitory residence and in
terests. He was elected vice
president of the council last
spring, succeeding himself.
Wales soars six feet three
inches. Though he is an active
intramural athlete and varsity
baseballer he maintains he is no
track man, despite the name he
bears Charles Paddock, a great
runner of more than a decade
ago.
And incidentally, the question
of his name digs up what might
be a skeleton in his closet, judg
ing from the secrecy with which
he guards the story of the origin
of his monicker "Puddin'."
"I joined the Society of Not
Revealing Origin of Nicknames,"
he advised, and would speak no
more on the subject.
"But my baseball I'll tell you
about that," he continued. All
his action last season was seen
during batting practice, "and
Coach Bunn Hearn can tell you
about my nothing-ball pitch."
"How many games were you
in last year?" he was asked.
"None," he grinned, "but I'll
be back out there next spring
tossing 'em up for batting prac
tice." -
' Also sharing his time all year
will be scholastic work in the
School of Commerce, plus the job
of presiding over the Interdormi
tory council.

To Tell The Truth
By Adrian Spies
Woollen Funeral
To Be Held Today
(Continued from first page)
Anderson and Susan Caroline
Woollen, was born in Guilford
county November 18, 1878. He
attended the University and was
an outstanding scholar and ath-'
lete.
"A dreamer, Mr. Woollen, lived
to see one of his foremost dreams
fulfilled. For many years the
University needed a larger physi
cal education plant. Mr. Woollen
set the obtaining of the plant as
one of his most important
objectives. And he lived to see
his dream made a reality.
Today and for generations to
come the Woollen gymnasium
will stand as a useful and effect
ive memorial to the tireless ef
forts of a man who devoted his
life to the service of the University.
to be used in the renovation of
the old theatre the start of a

lina cannot afford to lose one of
her most treasured assets her
position as the center of native
American drama, W. K.
Wednesday was September 21.
Weathermen call the day the
Fall equinox, or the beginning
of Autumn. Ordinary men call it
the end of a summer's rest and
the virtual beginning of the chill
and cold of international strife.
And it is interesting to ob
serve where this day found three
very significant nations in Eu
rope : Russia, Germany and
Czechoslovakia. All of these na
tions as they now exist have not
seen many Fall equinoxes. All of
them were born out of the last
war; the step-children of folly
and ignorance. One of them,
Czechoslavakia, was created by
an ' American idealist. One of
them, Germany, is a gangling de
formity of the dreams of that
same idealist. The last of them,
Russia, grew up despite an
American idealist.
Now these three infants are
drawn and bristling, and snarl
ing at each other. Germany has
growing pains. Russia fears
Germany. Czechoslovakia is in
the middle, and only wants to
be itself. But all of them, born
of the same disaster and stupidy,
have been arming against each
other. It is Germany into Czecho
slovakia, and Russia growling in
the background. Like an ill-fated
family that never should have
been born they may set about to
exterminate each other. For the
present Czech defeat is a super
ficial thing. The new cabinet
may decide to renew the issue.
It certainly will remember. And
like the sins of the fathers being
transferred to the sons, innocent
men may still retrace the years
from 1918 to 1914 with the red
sear of blood. Perhaps when
they are finished, if they still
decide to fight, and when their
war is done, they will be pre
cisely where each was. in 1914.
That is, all may be the same ex
cept for one unfortunate Ameri
can idealist. He is happily dead.
He is dead without having
learned the lesson that men born
of blood die in blood, and that
ideals in Europere non gratia.
9
There are other men in Eu
rope who were never idealists.
They learned early that man
fights to preserve himself, and
they acted accordingly. Some of
these men live in England, some
of them live in France.
They have, in the last few
years, seen the children of the
Great World War grow up. They
were horrified when the children
began to sit up and take notice,
and when they began to reach
out for alluring objects. They
pulled themselves together and
stepped back out of reach. They
didn't want to be soiled by the
sticky fingers of the dirty chil
dren. They, after all, had the
wisdom and tradition of years.
They had been born out of other
wars, long years ago.
And then a strange thing hap
pened. The three waifs their
mother was buried in the glori
ous Versailles Treaty began to
snarl at each other. That was
fine, the undesirables would
claw each other up. They might
even kill each other. And if they
did then the other wise men
who long ago learned that
preservation was the only way
could divide the pickings among
themselves.
Thus those wise old people
the English and French are sit
ting back with ringside seats.
Let ideals fall, what matter it
to them! They've been laughing
at ideals for years, and look how
far it's gotten them. What is a
country more or less in Europe?
AS LONG AS THE COUN
TRY MORE OR LESS IS NOT

having begun at 14 months, she
spent four or five months being
trained under the direction of
Mr. Humphries, chief master at
the Morristown Seeing Eye
School. After that, Dr. Alexan
