'Call Back
By Mark Sumner
Pioneering has never been
easy, as the American people well
know, but the Carolina Play
ful makers are faced, with a new
fwiiu ui pioneering piujicm m
connection with their production
of "Call Back Yesterday," their
fourth major play this season.
' Call Back Yesterday," by 26-year-old
Gene McLain, will be
the 22nd annual premiere produc
tion of a new full length play to
lc staged by the Playmakers in
their theatre. here March 10, 11,
12, at 8:30.
Harry E. Davis, associate pro-f-ssor
who has the job of direct
i ing the experimental production,
summed up the problems this
v.-ay: "Presenting an untried
play by a new author- is like
building a house without a blue
print. The cast and scene crews
have to test every idea to make
sure it works."
Davis pointed out that "Call
Back Yesterday" is not only ex
perimental in giving student
writer McLain a chance to test
his writing, but it is highly ex
perimental in the scenery prob
lems it presents
James Riley, 20-year-old senior

Concert Are
after convincing his former boss
who he really is. The rest of the
show involves his winning of the
fight and regaining the title.
A sound feature of the pro
duction is handled by Les Thorn
bury who by using a filter on
piano strings, causes the effect
of mysterious music in Darrow's
semi-conscious mind.
Other members of the cast are
Bill Skarlsky, Bob Barr, Morty
Schaap, Tommy Thomas and
Merv Lenz.

cer for the show; John Young,
control engineer; Hut Craig, Bob
Hall and John Stanfield, sound
technicians; and Avery Gibson,

ADPi ALUMNI
There will be a meeting of the
Alpha Delta Pi alumnae at the
ADPi house on Wednesday night
at 8 o'clock. All alumnae are
urged to attend.
Yesterday'
from Palm Beach, Fla., has the
job of designing a setting for the
intricate production. Riley, who
was given a special award last
year for his technical work with
the Playmakers, was scene de
signer for the Artillery Lane
Playhouse in Florida, and the
New London Playhouse in New
Hampshire, before he came to
the University to study with the
Playmakers.
Riley explained that his prob
lem was "designing the setting
so that the scenes in the action
of the play could be shifted from
house to office, to lake-side, and
back to the house by changing
the lighting."
Author McLain has written the
scenes so that the changes from
location to location by the actors
are almost immediate. There is
no time to pull the curtain and
change the settings as is usual
in scene shifting.
The problem on the 19-foot
Playmaker Theatre stage is
greater than a standard size stage
because there is no room on the
sides of the stage to hide scenery
and furniture before it is used.
Rilev has tried to overcome
the scenery shifting and lack of

TOrchestra Leaders
Thomas, Wilcox Use
Style of Lunceford
By Bebop MacDonald
"Real-gone" is the word for
Memorial hall tonight, when the
Jimmie Lunceford jazz group of
seven bebopsters, Dixieianders,
boot-whipsters, scatmen or what
have you take over at 7:30
o'clock for "Jazz- at the
Memorial."
The two-hour concert is spon
sored by the senior class. Accord
ing to class president Benson
McCutcheon, tickets at $1.25 each
are still available, and these will
go on sale at the door tonight.
Led by Saxman Joe Thomas
and 88-fingered Eddie Wilcox,
the group features Jock Carru
thers, Mustapha Hashim, Russell
Green, Joe Marshall and Al
Grey all artists of the Jimmie
Lunceford school of jazz who are
continuing the ''rhythm style of
their late maestro.
Sam Beard, the Rateigh disc
jockey whose program "Moon-
glow" was heard last year by
collegians who sometimes turn
ed deaf ears to his "sour grapes"
sarcasm, will be on hand to
emcee the concert. Beard's pres
ent morning program is "Break
fast with Beard", a record show
over radio .station WPTF.
Proceeds from the program will
go to the graduating class as one
of two big events sponsored by
the seniors before graduation.
Sometime during the final quar
ter, as yet unannounced, the
seniors plan to secure a name
band for their annual junior-
senior dance. . , . .
According to Bill Tate, presi
dent of the German club, to
night's concert is being under
written by that organization.
The Lunceford group is con
sidered by music critics as. a first
rate jazz group. Eddie Wilcox, a
native of Raleigh, and Joe Thom
as, of Uniontown, Pennsylvania,
are two members of the original
Lunceford band who have led
in the band's reorganization as a
memorial to the prominent Negro
artist. Wilcox has been associated
with Lunceford and Luncefordian
jazz since he met the popular
bandleader at Fiske university,
in Memphis. Wilcox, as pianist and
arranger, worked with Lunceford
and Sy Oliver in setting the tem
po for such JL-favorites as "Out
skirts of Town," "Rhythm Is Our
Business," "Sophisticated Lady,"
'Solitude" and "Walking Through
Heaven."
As tenor sax player and vocal
ist, Joe Thomas hitched his wa-

storage space by usipg a series
of curved platforms, almost like
steps, and by setting the furni
ture on tracks. The furniture and
heavy scenery pieces are design
ed to move into position without
the stage hands being seen, and
while the action of the play is
going on.
Technical director Lynn Gault
commented: "We don't know
whether it is going to work or
not, but we do - experimental
plays to let students like Riley
have a chance to try new ideas
in front of an audience.
Samuel Selden, director of the
Playmakers, explained it this
way: "One of the drawbacks of
the modern professional theatre
is its inability to give young and
beginning theatre people a
chance to test their work, so for
30 years the Playmakers have
tried to give new voices a chance
to be heard by the public."
There is plenty of proof that
the Playmaker policy of allow
ing new writers to try out their
full length plays. Paul Green,
Josephina Niggli, . Betty Smith,
Noel Houston, and Walter Carroll
are all products of the Playmaker
organization.
Democratic Split
Will Be Healed
Declares Official
Washington, March 6 -(UP)
An unidentified source close to
the. White House said tonight
that the split between Southern
Democrats and the administra
tion will be patched before the
Democratic national convention.
,The source, a high administra
tion official who refused to per
mit the use of his name, declared
that he was hopeful that time
and cooler tempers would heal
the breach caused by Truman's
civil rights speech. His predic
tion was that both sides would
move to restore party harmony
before the July convention.
However, Senator Scott Lucas
(D-II1.) was not so hopeful. In
fact, he admitted yesterday,
speaking from the non-Southern
point of view, that the revolt
looks "fairly serious."
Although he apparently did not
feel that the revolt would be
quickly quelled, Lucas predicted
that the President would be
"back on top" within the next
thirty days.
Democrats generally have been
much worried by , the party
quarrel which began when the
President brought his civil rights
program before Congress and
was accentuated by Southern
protests which fell on deaf ears.
Since that time, throughout the
South, conventions, state assem
blies, and high officials have ad
vocated a second secession-this
time from the Democratic party.

versity. Harden, whom he replaces, has

senator William B. Umstead who

Peron Faces Test
In Argentine Vote
Buenos Aires, March 6 (UP)
-JuanPeron, .Ithe strong -man
president of Argentina, will face
a major test when Argentine
voters go to the polls to elect
Chamber of Deputies.
.Although Peron himself is not
running, some political observers
say that the election will de
termine whether or not the peo
ple want Peron re-elected in 1952
to another six year term.
They point out that by giving
the Peron ist party a two-thirds
majority in the chamber, the
electorate would make it possible
for Peron 's followers to change
the constitutional provision which
prevents the re-election of an
Argentine president.
Peron, who has been in bed
since undergoing an emergency
appendectomy on Monday, has
announced that he will vote to
morrow. The president spent his
first time out of bed today.
The election is being watched
carefully by North Americans
who arc interested in the progress
of Peron's strange career.

To Handle Solicitation
By Gordon Huffines
A campus Red Cross drive to
raise 2,000 by Carolina student
as a part of the $75,000,000 na
tional goal will start here Tues
day according to Graham Memor
ial director Bill Shuford, chair
man of the student drive.
In planning the campus cam
paign, which will take place from
March 9th through the 11th,
every effort has been made to
work so that students will not
be contacted for solicitations
more than once, Shuford assert
ed.. "We definitely do not want to
annoy students in view of the
close proximity of examinations;
however, we do want to see each
individual that one important
time," Shuford stated at the
campus campaign headquarters
in Graham Memorial.
Assistants Named
Assisting Shuford in the cam
pus drive are Joe Ferguson and
Bob Ormand, who will help su
pervise the organization of the
drive and maintain contact with
campus organizations which are
assuming responsibility for soli
citation of funds.
Actual solicitations will be
handled through the heads of
these organizations: Men and
Women's Interdormitory eoun
councils, Pan Hellenic council,
Interfraternity council, and the
Co-ed senate. Students and their
families living in Victory Village
will be contacted by an indepen
dent group acting under the di
rection of Mrs. Dorothy Cooke.
Funds collected in the national
drive, which started March 1,
will be used to finance the Red
Cross program for the 1948-49
fiscal year, which includes dis
aster relief, home services (espec
ially for veterans), first aid, wa
ter safety programs, accident
prevention, and nursing.
2 Million Cases
Last year more thtm 2,000,000
cases involving aid to veterans
were handled by the Red Cross.
Services rendered included fin
ancial assistance to veterans and
their families and hospital work.
The Chapel Hill home office,
Room 106, Alumni building, aid
ed veterans in countless ways
connected with CI insurance,
hospitalization, filing of claims,
and general counseling. The local
office expressed the hope that
any veterans hitherto unaware
of this service, will avail them
selves of it whenever needed.
Student leaders have called on
dormitories, fraternities, and
sororities for cooperation in
making the drive a success. Shu
ford announced that organizations
making outstanding contributions,
or whose membership contribute
100 percent, will be given re
cognition for their work.
