Cast Is Announced for Playmaker Show
In his review of the first pro
duction of “The Rainmaker,’’
Brooks Atkinson, dean of Amer

duction of the season, anil will
follow its appearance in Chupel
Hill, November 9 through 13,

The story takes place during
a paralyzing drought in the
West, and revolves about a plain
girl whose futher and iwo
brothers are as worried about
her becoming an old maid as they
are about their dying cattle.
When the glib, refreshing con
man, Btarbuck, suddenly ap
pears, he not only convinces the
family that for SIOO he can
bring rain, but convinces the
plain girl that every woman is
pretty—if she is a real woman.
The role of Lizzie, the plain
girl whose father and two
brothers are trying to marry her
off, is played by Louise Fletcher,
of Birmingham, Ala., who is
entering ber second year as a
Playmaker. Her two brother*,
one a dreamer, the other too
practical, are played by veteran
Playmakers James .Hechrest, of
Thomasville, and Charles Bar
rett, of Hickory. Lizzie's father,
who is equally concerned over
his daughter’s situation, is por
trayed by William Casstevens,
of Yadkinville,

The other day an attract
ive, vivacious, and pregnant
young woman came in the
office and said she was con
ducting a survey in Chapel
Hill and would we mind an
swering three simple ques
tions. Somehow, without
saying so, she gave the im
pression that she was a loc
al woman working for a loc
al organization.
She rattled gaily on for
four or five minutes before
she gave herself away by
asking the first question. It
was, ‘‘What features do you
like best in the Saturday
Evening Post and News
week ?”
We didn’t let her waste
enough of our time to ask
the next question, which
certainly would have been,
“How would you like to sub
scribe to these magazine* ?’*
On the way out she paus
ed in the front office to try
her luck with Mrs. Harden,
our bookkeeper, who asked
to see her card. This she
readily produced. It gave
her headquarters as Fort
Worth, Texas.
We were reminded of the
young woman’s visit by the
following letter received to
day from a Weekly reader
in Glen Lennox:
“We think you might want
to let people know there is
a new twist to the hard-to
get-rid-of door-to-door sales

herself into my living room
without knocking. The door
was open since the weather
was warm. She was so nice
ly dressed and refined look
ing that 1 thought surely she
was somebody I was sup
posed to know |>aying u so

“By the time she unwound
and told me her business I
had lost a good hit of time
and most of my patience.
She was selling an inferior
looking (at least to me)
