V3 th., 1950 Story" Is Better "The Duplin Story" opened last night with a bang. A small crowd saw the opening performance. Some placed the number of paid attendance from 500 to 1000; one man said there were at least 2,000. At this writing the ticket booths had not been checked but it seem ed a general average of opinion as to the attendance would be placed at somewhere between 1500 and 2000. Considering the weather officials were well pleased with the crowd. At one time yesterday there was a question as to whether or not the show would attempt to open. Throughout Thursday the skies continued to threaten. In mid-afternoon a light misty rain set in but just before dusk it stopped. Winds picked up late in the evening but died down considerably before curtain time. As the show progres sed the weather progressed. About intermission time the stars came out. It was neither cold nor hot. No bugs or flies to disturb the audi ence. The wind quieted to the point where there was no fear about the curtains or props being disturbed. The wind interfered with the sound system some throughout the play. Weather pre-' dictions are that the skies will clear during Friday and perfect weather will prevail for the re maining four showings. The cast took the job in stride. In spite of the fact that the weath er has permitted no full dress re hearsal the show was said to be better than any performance last year. Sam Byrd. 4flough tired and worried, was at: his eak. Pat Bo lam and "Timmy'Uu law were both definitely Vbetter 'ban last year JotAAMttHtoit JoSinson a ,fl Helen Brown, ' in '""the WWfnaw scene, were exceptionally good, as was "Dusty" Walker in the battle field scene. Rev. L. C. Prater, playing Henry McCulloch, stood out again this year. The square dancers were on the job as were the British Red Coats The Duplin Rifles, acted out this year by Du plin County high school boys, did their job like veterans. The James Sprunt Institute scene showed more life and interest. Edith Hln nant Dickerson again captivated the audience with "Yes, Indeed." All in all the entire cast did a much finer job than at any show ing last year. The choir was not up to par. A large part of the trouble was in the organ and the wind was disturbing the sound system. At intermission Governor Scott, Congressman Graham A. Barden and Willie Clark of Tarboro were recognized by Vance Gavin and Editor Bob Grady called on Edit-, ors Jonathan Daniels and Carl Goerch of Raleigh and Henry Belk ' of Goldsboro who said a few words, each complimenting "The Duplin Story." Workers behind the scene are busy today getting things set for tonight's show. From all reports tonight should bring out a large crowd. . m , .tnMAN MRS- GOLDIE ALDERMAN 01 HUI who Mt Ml" Naomi Wood in rehearsals of the Duplin County -Choir which tints In "The Duplin Story. this year.
