Negroes In Highlands
Present 'Heaven Bound'
Amid a setting of tall hydran
gea sprays, baskets of dahlias,
and lighted candles, the Negroes
of Highlands, who are here with
white families for the summer,
put on an excellent perform
ance Sunday night at the Meth
odist church in "Heaven Bound",
a musical play.
Almost two-thirds of the small
church was reserved for white
persons, and long before the :
opening hour ever seat and all |
available standing room was
taken, with many late-comers
left outside. The invocation was
given by the Rev. R. B. Dupree,
pastor of Highlands Presbyter
ian church, and the opening re
marks were made by Morton S.
Hodgson, who said the play was
the result of the colored people's
desire to do their bit toward the
building of the Highlands Com
munity hospital. To this end,
the director of the play asked
Mrs. Monro B. Lanier, Mrs.
George W. Woodruff and Mrs.
Glenn Ryman to take up a col
lection, the total amount of
Mrs. W. T. Medlin, Jr., and
small son, Billy. j
Visiting Mrs. E. L. Billsteln
and Mrs. Rockwell Nail recent
ly were Mr. and Mrs. Stanford
Hilton and daughter, of Phli- 1
delphia, Pa. Mrs. HUton is Mrs. i
Nail's sister.
which was $228. From this the
Negroes will deduct the ex
penses of their summer church
services, and give the balance to
the hospital building fund.
Following the opening solo, the
white-robed choir marched in
with palms waving in time to
the music and singing "Palms
of Victory". Entering heaven,
they were each given a golden
crown. In the play, the devil
was much In evidence with his
temptations to entice the 'Heav
en Bound' from the straight and
narrow path, some falling by
the wayside, and resounding ap
plause from the audience ac
companying each victory over
the wiles of the devil. "Swing
Low, Sweet Chairot" was a part
of the program, sung as only
the Negro knows how to sing it.
The play, with its moral on
the side of right, was so well
given that a request was im
mediately made for a repeat
performance later in the season.
