Miss Sproul Receives
Art Awards At College
Miss Polly Sproul of Pinebluff
has won both second and fourth
places in the watercolor section
of the College Division in the
Student Art Contest at Pembroke
State College, Pembroke, accord
ing to an announcement from the
college.
Miss Sproul, who moved
from Pinehm’st to Pembroke
to live while attending college,
was formerly office manager at
the North Carolina Sanatorium,
McCain.
She is a niece of Mrs. A. M. Gra
ham of Pinebluff and a cousin of
Mrs. C. Benedict of Southern
Pines.
Veterans who are drawing re
tirement pay can request the
branch of the service with which
they are connected to make out
an allotment from their retire
ment pay to cover their GI in
surance payment. This saves
time and expense and guards
against a lapsed-policy.
NOW AT PINEHURST PLAYHOUSE
‘Tunnel Of Love’ Is Well Done But
Wears Thin As ‘Joke In Poor Taste’
“Tunnel of Love” is a joke in
poor taste, excellently told but
wearing rather thin as it is spun
out over three acts at the Pine-
hurst Playhouse.
No matter how witty the lines,
there is something oddly repel
lent about a comedy based on in
fidelity and illegitimacy, and it is
hard to believe life is lived like
this even in Westport, Conn.
Tuesday night’s opening drew
the largest first-night audience
in the current 10-week drama
series. This consistently fine and
professional company is building
up its fame week by week, draw
ing from a widening area to fill
up the seats of the Playhouse.
Producer Donald Filipelli is giv
ing the Sandhills a real slice of
Broadway, and perhaps it takes
one “Tunnel of Love” to make
the atmosphere authentic.
The oh, so gay exurbanites who
people the play, which had a fair
but undistinguished run on the
Main Stem a couple of years ago,
are headed by Bruce Hall, a
splendid actor of versatility and
talent, starring as Augie Poole, a
cartoonist beset by fear of fail
ure in his professional and fam
ily life. The fear is aggravated
by childlessness and the mater
nal yearnings of his pretty and
petulant wife, played by Holly
Hill.
Neighbors Dick and Alice Pep
per are played by handsome
John Hallow and Dean Delk as
his ever-piegnant spouse. Mar
garet Braidwood has the thank
less role of a spinster sociologist
visiting the cartoonist’s home in
behalf of an adoption agency.
Catherine Aldridge, a Pinehurst
resident who is a former stage
professional, doss a jolly bit as
head of the agency.
It’s all real cute and the audi
ence, including this reviewer,
found it entertaining much of
the time, but it strains the cred
ulity, sense of humor and acting
arts. It’s hard, for example, to
see as funny a scene in which a
wife finds out that the adopted
child is actually her husband’s.
All Holly Hill can do is flounce,
which she does prettily, while
Bruce Hall wears his bewildered-
hamster look.
The spoof is played out against
a charming set, complete, of
course, with well-used beir, also
a garden glimpsed through a
window which changes as the
year rolls round through five
scenes. Again the curtain is left
unused as the players wander
naturally in and out, with transi
tions of scenes effected through
tricks of lighting.
“Tunnel of Love”—a title
which, incidentally, never gets
explained—runs through Sunday
night, with Saturday matinee.

and her staid husband. He has
timed his appearance to coincide
with the wedding of a daughter
he hasn’t seen since her infancy.
Pogo sets out to prove that the
sober existence of the respec
table people is deadly dull in
contrast to his world-wide wan
derings. He succeeds in irritating
his ex-wife’s husband and his
daughter’s intended husband,
and the wit and fur fly fast as
he carries off a surprise coup that
jolts them all.
John Hallow (Pogo) will play
the irrepressible bon vivant, and
Margaret Braidwood (Katherine)
will be seen as his comfortably
settled club-woman ex-wife.
Bruce Hall (Jim Dougherty)
has the role of Katherine’s de
pendable husband, and Holly Hill
will play the daughter, Jessica
Poole. As his irate fiance, Pine
hurst Playhouse is pleased to
welcome a new member of the
troupe, Lin Thurmond. Guest
star William Jackson will appear
.as Mackenzie Savage, the hu
morous maternal grandfather.
Robert Paine Grose is staging
the play, in settings by Scott Un
derwood Adam.
Officers Seize
9 Cases Whiskey;
Woman Arrested
Nine cases, less three jars, of il
licit whiskey, sitting openly on
the floor of two bedrooms of a
house near the Moore-Montgom-
ery line, were seized by ABC
raiders Saturday evening.
Arrested for illegal possession
for sale was a 45-year-old Negro
woman, Willie Mae Diggs, who
lives alone in the house on Can
dor RFD, some 300 yards on the
Moore side of the line. She made
$100 bond at a JP hearing for her
appearance in Moore County Re
corder’s Court.
The woman was entertaining
guests, with both the front and
back doors locked, when the of
ficers arrived at 6:15 p. m. She
let them in and submitted peace
ably to arrest. The guests, a half-
dozen Negro men and one wom
an, were grouped about a card
table and said they were there
only to play “whiz.” None were
arrested.
Taking part in the raid were
ABC Officers C. A. McCallum
and Edward Floyd, assisted by
Deputy Sheriffs June Cockman
and I. D. Marley.
