CHARLOTTE. -The story of one of America’s best known narrow galtge trains is being told in n new book published July 29. “Tweetsie, The Blue Ridge Stem winder" by Julian Scheer and Eliz abeth McDonald Black will be pub lished by Heritage House. The book is illustrated with 30 pen and ink sketches by Lee Kolbe and also contains a 16 page photo graphic album. Tweetsie is now a tourist attrac tion at Blowing Rock, N. C., but was a part of the landscape and spirit of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina for near ly a half century. The colorful lit tle narrow gauge was the first train to span the mighty Blue Ridge mountains and served the mountain people for more than half a century from Johnson City, Tenn,. to Boone, N. C. BEHIND THE SCENES with CLARA CRAWFORD at The Silo Circle Playhouse In our last article we told you how Glenn B. Hill, technical director, has to work closely with the scenic designer. I his week our interview is with Jim Hopkins, who is scenic designer for the Silo Circle Playhouse company. Jim, a native l’rineetonian and graduate of Princeton, is that dis tinguished-looking man with the very distinguished looking Van Dyke beard who reminds you of what you think a university pro fessor should be like. Quiet, un assuming, Jim is a man of re markable talent and versatility, as evidenced all through this summer season. He works closely not only with the technical director but al so with Jerry B. Rumley, the di rector of the company, and Thom as Bentley, costume designer, to create the atmosphere and mood for each successive show. To his knowledge, Jim is the first scenic designer to use ceil ings for stage sets. He said that last week’s show “'The Bride's Lament,” which was held over from the previous week, challenged ln iinagination more than any of the others. He more than met this challenge, as those of you who were there well know. The old-fashioned meller-iran. mer required numerous changes o; scene and costume. Jim designed a unique book-type ceiling whii included four ceiling change; dis guised as pages in a book. The turning of these “ceiling pages” between scenes was a production in itself and held the audience so spell-bound that intermissions were often by-passed. Jim. as sisted by Glenn B. Hill with the aid of a tall, be-ribboned ladder and a long-handled hook, made the ceiling changes to the accompani ment of music. Jim said that the designing of this unique, chang able ceiling was his most difficult problem of the season and the eas iest to hang. And he liked this one the best. He enjoyed doing the the set for “The Rainmaker,” which was the most basic of all. Everything was simple and plain and all of one color, to bring out an effect of dryness, starkness, and drought. He emphasized that color is im portant in keying a mood and also helps to fit the style and period of the play. For "The Rainmaker,” you may recall, Jim designed an effect of a beamed ceiling in west ern style. Each show has had its own par ticular challenge for Jim. In “The Glass Menagerie” he had to simu late walls. He achieved an effect of brick walls remarkably well, and the effect of a fire escape. In this same show, he also had to design a suggestion of French doors. In designing furniture he has to remember such things as the fact that chairs must be the open type and a fireplace has to be open because, in a circle theater, an audience has to see through these. His fireplace in "See How They Run” was a real master piece. He said that the sofa in Prescription Service CITY-WIDE PRESCRIPTION PICKUP AND DELIVERY You may depend on us for prompt, efficient Pre scription Service.

UZZELL'S REXALL Member Western North Carolina Drug Club ft COMPLETE PHOTO-FILM SERVICE ft • HALLMARK CARDS • WHITMAN CANDY • REVLON f "A Murder Has lteen Arranged proved to be his main problem be cause a body had to be hidden on it for half the show. This meant the soft must have a back. At the same time the back would have to be low enough for an audience to see over. Well, the sofa turned out perfectly. Jim’s window ef fects have always been realistic even though they could never have full window frames and they, too, like the ceilings, have had to be suspended. Otherwise, Jim ex plained. they would block the audi ence’s view and cast shado,.s. Jim's job of designing included selection of slip cover materials, curtains and other hangings. He and Tom Bentley conferred so these and the actors’ costumes would be not only harmonious but effectively in keeping with the period of the play and refecting the personalities of the charac ter-. For example, such a detail as the coverlet on the couch in "1 Am a Camera” had to be the type that Fraulein Schneider would have in the furnished rooms she "rented out.” Detail is important in good stage settings. For this reason, the scenic designer has to read and know well each play. He has to know what particular references are made to anything that is im portant in the play. For exam ple, that fire escape in "The Glass Menagerie,” previously mentioned as one of Jim’s achievements. In the beginning of this article, we said that Jim Hopkins is a man of remarkable talent and ver satility. We have discussed his talent for set design and we would like to state now, at the close of the season, that this summer has been his first experience as a scenic designer, an extremely suc cessful experience. As a back ground for this, he is an actor and an artist. As an artist he prefers to paint in the medium of oils, and landscapes are his favorite subject. In 1950 and 1951 Jim came down from Princeton, N. J.. and taught art in two summers for the Cone Mills in Greensboro, N. C. Jim has demonstrated his act ing ability this summer in three varied roles. He appdeared as Fe lix Ducotel, the father in "My Three Angels,” Mister Humphrey, one of several ministers running around in “See How They Run,” and as the laconic sheriff in “The Rainmaker.” This week he is ap pearing as Professor Damon in "The Male Animal.” Last week Jhn charmed us with his singing and dancing between acts of "The Bride’s Lament” when he did num bers with Elaine Hunter and Vicki Greene. But there is even more! Jim is responsible for some of the charming hair-do’s of the company members. He has had, we discov ered, two years’ experience as a professional hair stylist. This was put to use in his work with the Princeton University players and the Princeton Community Players (where he also acted an-! painted scenery). It is interesting to know that Princeton is where Co-Produce: Tinka Crawford met Jim. Sh", too, acted with these theater groups in Princeton, N. J. When she played the Lynn Fontaine role of Alkmen t in “Amphytrion 38” with the Princeton Community Players, Jim designed and did her stunning Greek coiffeur. Last but not least another talent of Jim’s has been demonstrated this summer. He is a professional puppeteer. He toured with Tinka, presenting the Evans Webb Mar ionettes under sponsorship of the University of Wisconsin through out the state of Wisconsin, parts of Northern Michigan and Min nesota. This summer he and Tin ka have presented the Wednesday matinees of “The Wizard of Oz” for children and the young-in heart adults who have attended. It is no wonder that when Tinka Crawford became a producer of , professional theater she thought of Jim immediately. Jim has con tributed greatly to the success of the Silo Circle playhouse, both on stage and behind the scenes. He has made many friends in the com munity, and everyone, company members and theater goers look forward to having him back next summer. Sen. Erwin Says: WASHINGTON’ The second session of the 85th Congress should be able to adjourn soon. If the world situation becomes more tense, Congress can be called back on short notice. The Record The record of the second session is good-. There have been bills enacted that I could not support, and some defeated or not acted up on that I supported. We have had to deal with such pressing problems as defense and the recession, along with a long list of other important matters, in cluding the extension of the Recip rocal Trade Agreements act. Trade Kill Passed The Senate made some improve ments in the trade bill from its original provisions as sent down by the President. There were changes which were made by the Senate Finance committee that I supported but were defeated by votes in the Senate. It is my conviction that the value of any reciprocal trade act depends in large measure on the way it is administered. The President can do much good un der the new act if he insists on the proper administration of its provisions in a manner to give more consideration than in the past to the damage some coun tries are doing to some of our domestic industries. Although there are changes which I preferred that were not in the bill. I voted for the extension of the aet for a three year period, the provision that was enacted by the Senate. The House passed a bill to provide for a five-year ex tension. Conferees are now work ing out differences between the two bills. My view is that three years is entirely sufficient. Con gress ought not to extend the act beyond the terms of any present members of Congress or of the present administration. Amendment The Senate approved an amend ment to the hill which I offered to minimize the number of escape clause proceedings. It provides that in conducting point proceed ings, the Tariff commission shall ascertain from the invoice the ex pert price in a foreign country of an article scheduled for exporta tion to the United States. Tin commission shall also ascertain the wholesale price at the end of the preceding calendar year on the domestic market in the United States of the competition article produced^ by American producers. The Tariff commission, in con ducting these proceedings, is also required to estimate the annual amount of imports which can be made with respect to such ar ticles without injury to the do mestic producers. The purpose of my amendment is to direct the commission to get all the inform ation as a guide to help them reach a decision in the peril point proceedings. The majority and minority lead ers and Senator Byrd, Finance Committee chairman, accepted the amendment and it was adopted by the Senate and is now in confer ence. Two-Way Street In order to be effective, recip rocal trade must have reciprocity It is to be hoped that the admin 1strators of the Act will insist tha reciprocal trade is a two-way stree and that no great damage he don to the people of this country by continuation of what 1 believe to b a perversion of the original ides the Cordell Hull concept, of recin rocal trade.
