Dramatic Art Head Extends
The Carolina Folk Plays To
Include Whole United States
By GLADYS BEST TRIPP
Proff Kqch had a great idea 20
years ago when he first used "Caro
lina Folk Plays" on the playbill of
the initial production but he had a
still better one when he decided to
extend the Carolina folk plays to in
clude the whole United States, Can
ada and Mexico in the last volume of
clays he has edited, "American Folk
Plays."
Students in Profit's playwriting
classes here at the University, and in
other colleges where he has taught
summer courses, wrote the plays as
class work, and each play represents
the region native to the playwright.
From the gentle Mormon, people toi
fisher-folk of the Carolina coast, to
the prairie farmers of North Dakota
and cowpunchers of the southwest,
the 20 plays find their settings.
Bob Koch designed the cover and
also the end papers which trace the
play settings on a map of the United
States, beginning with the; Smoky
Mountains of North Carolina down
through the southern states across to
Texas and up by Calif ornia to Canada
wun a uip aown 10 missuun uu
way back through New York to the
cbast of North Carolina. Bob is
Proff's son, and an outstanding stu
dent in the University art depart
ment. Archibald Henderson wrote the
foreword for the book. He says: "The
book is an imposing demonstration
that Koch has succeeded in his fan
tastic plan of trying to induce Ameri
cans to write their own drama. This
is no mere collection of piffling play
lets from the backwoods, represent
ing revolting aspects of sex, feral
perversities, or tragic degeneration.
Here is a volume of folk plays con
tinental in scope, almost equally
divided between joy and sorrow. In
it is to be found Koch's rich and
happy harvest."
Four volumes of Carolina Folk
Plays with one volume of Mexican
Folk Plays have .. appeared under
Profits direction before. In the ap
pendix of each book is a list of the
productions the Playmakers have pub
lished. In "American Folk Plays" the
time covered is from September, 1931,
to September, 1938. Articles in the
Carolina Play Book, references in
books and periodical references to the
Carolina Playmakers are also listed
A complete record is given of the
productions and tours of the Play
makers.
As Proff leaned on the desk in ms
office telling about the book, he point-
ed out: "Folk drama is not neces-
sarily tragic as so many people be-
lieve, but also represents xne wnoie-
hearted joy that these people find m
life." ,
"Every play in this , book, selected
from hundreds turned in, nas Deeu
. . t t
successfully produced and is emi-
nently actable. The students who
wrote the plays receive the royalties
paid for their production, which gives
an added incentive to student piay-
writing."
In the general introduction Proli
gives his methods of teaching play -
writing but emphasizes: "l am
aware that playwriting cannot bejShepard, assistant athletic director;
taught but can be wisely directed. In
our wav of nlaywriting we try to
cherish the creative spark' in the stu
dent. "We encourage him to examine,
with understanding and imagination,
the eventful happening of his own
the characters of hi3
own neighborhood. Then, with patient
practice, we guide him in shaping his
material in an appropriate and inter
esting pattern for the stage."
The book will be on sale in book
stores tomorrow, and was published
bv D. Appleton-Century Company,
New York.

In regard to freshmen rooming with
upperclassmeri, the rules provide that
the new man cannot be pledged by
the fraternity with which his room
mate is affiliated until the , second
week of the winter quarter. Fresh

quarters up to and through Septem
ber 20 without incurring , the penalty,
should they fmd themselves rooming

wishes.

In the case that a member of any
fraternity Elates any way the
rules regulating rushing as defined
in the by-laws during the periods of
silence, a penalty of not being al
lowed to pledge or initiate a person

placed on the fraternity.
Also, for violation - of the rushing

ceeding ?100f which shall, previously
to bidding of freshman, have
been placed in the hands of the treas-
urer of the Interfraternity council at

Penalties for violation of the by-laws

mittee of the Interfraternity council

The rules in complete form will, be
published on posters early next fall

ternity houses and other conspicuous
places on the campus.

In regard to the Daily Tar Heel,
Fairley said that the policy of the cam
pus daily since the end of the World
War, has been, one of unjustified op
position and criticism toward several
campus organizations.
The former president reviewed the
past history of the University club, or
eanized in 1933 to revive sunnort in
athletic activities, and urged its mem
Ders continue to give their active
support to all sports with special em-
phasis ,on the minor ones.

concerning the University Dance com

Theater
(Continued front page two) '
at least taken the - first important
step in a delayed process.
"Texas Forever," by Emily Crow,
is a very unfortunate attempt at pa
triotic and historical drama. It is
possible that this vehicle would have
met with more success if it were
played before a provincially minded
Texan audience. But Chapel Hill, with
only a passing and indifferent inter
est in the saga of Texan indepen
dence, looked for good theater first;
And it looked in vain. The play lacked
smoothness, was unable to sustain its
ambitiously melodramatic mood, was
trite, and could not sufficiently build
up to the. several dramatic entrances
which are its action-substance. Miss
Crow has picked a terribly difficult
subject which 'is more interesting to
her than it was to her, audience. There
are spots in the piece which manage
to break with chauvinism and stand
convincingly on their own feet. But
they are, only ccasional, and are
marred by a directing hand hat was
far too heavy arid self-conscious,
Those performers most admired
were: Mary Wood, a sympathetic and
sincere actress whose work has stead
ily improved; Wieder Sievers, a com
edy character man with a finished and
intelligent understanding; and Janet
Pendleton, easily the best female
comedienne in the local brigade.

Devil country. Hal Bissett at first was
as sharp as ever in the field and hit
over .300 for the first time in his three
years as a varsity performer. Matty
Topkins and Stirnweiss, co-captains
next year, formed a ring of steel around
second, clicked off nine double-plays
and allowed very few balls to get away
from them. Charlie Rich and Jimmy
Howard divided third. Rich was flash
ier than Howard, but Jimmy was a
steadier player.
OUTFIELDING WEAK
Over most of the season, the outfield
ers were the hitting weak-sisters of Nisbet Mangum; Chamberlain, Man

while Jim Mallory, after getting start- BVPi ooVqt, BVP; Mitten, Ruf-
ed early in the race, turned his ankle
and did not really begin hitting thei
ball until the Duke series. Hal Jen-
nings snowea tne greatest development
of any of the outfielders. He started
the year in right-field because no one
else was available but by mid-season I
was as sure a hitter and fielder as there
was on the club. He hit .323 for the
year after getting as high as .370 in
one push and made but two errors all

Only five men graduate : Hudson,
Nethercutt, Bissett, Cox and Davis, i
Hearn will have most trouble filling
Nethercutt's shoes. He has either El
mer Sensenbach and Red Benton

stick in school, should at last giye

SPORTSMAN V
Having given up golf a few years
ago, he likes fishing, any kind of fish
ing, deep sea, rod and reel, and "cork
and worms." "But Mrs. Bankhead can
fish me out of the boat. Two weeks
ago, up in Maryland, she caught two
six-pound large mouth bass ... I
didn't catch any."
Sixty-five years" old, the Speaker's
appearance belies his age. Though his
hair is thinning, his bushy eyebrows
make up for the difference.
RECORD
. Mrs. Bankhead, and he will break a
record set for days spent away from
Washington this week-end. This will
be the first time in six years he has
spent more than one day away. After
arriving yesterday afternoon, they are
with the Taul White's in Gimghoul
through Sunday morning.
Mrs. Bankhead and he are "down
for an easy week-end with our kin-
folks." Mrs. Bankhead is Mrs. White's
sister. ,
During their visit, they will "relax
chiefly." They'll probably fish at Uni
versity lake this afternoon . . . and
the Speaker wants to hook some big
ones to get even with Mrs. Bankhead's
recent catch.
