"STRANGE INTERLUDE" COMING TO WINSTON-SALEM OCT. 27 One of the most successful tours of the country ever made by a me tropolitan company is that of thej Theatre Cuild's production of Eu gene O'Neill's Pulitzer prize play, 1 "Strange Interlude", which will come to the State Theatre, Winston-1 Salem, on Monday, October 27. Notwithstanding the wide publi-! city that this -sensational nine-act drama has had, it may be that there are still some playgoers who are not familiar with its story. "Strang* Interlude" concerns a young woman Who has lost her sweetheart in the war. She seeks consolation in dif ferent entanglements until marriage seems about to solve the problems and bring her the happiness she covets. However, the approaching! birth of a child leads her mother-in j law to reveal a hidden secret in her; proposal, which is used by O'Neill i as the basis for one of the most | novel, audacious and intriguing J plays ever produced in America.

And why hast thou come here?" The man, Abashed, shrank back: with lowly bow And heart less brave still he be gan: "Sir, I am come for my reward; A "icrown of life and harp of gold, A gift for all who know the Lord And keep his law, as I am told. "I am His friend and know Hipi well I heard His teachings ytear on year: Sir, may I enter now? pray tell**— "Nay, nay, ye cannot enter here!"

And oft kept back the widow's , fear— Come, Sir, I must enter in"— "Nay, nay, ye cannot enter here!" The mn stood awed, and dropped his bead; "And thus shut out from this my prize." At last he plead, with tearful cries: "The Righteous One of Ood was slain; By brutes upon a felon's tree; He calmly bore Golgotha's stains To pay the shameful debt for me— « "On Him was laid my load of sin— — My Lord; Oh may I see His face?"
