^ T Observer Praises Cleveland Springs Charloite Observer. The Observer has been a stout contender that there Is a fine fu ture ahead of the Cleveland Springs hotel- -ever since the days of Pos toh and Miller, who catered to the wants of the people before the au tomobile was known—and repeated ly since the Institution was mod ernized and gilt-edge with the com inft’of good roads and fast travel. 1 he-opportunity has now been real ir^d .by the long-anticipated outside talent, and the hotel goes under management of Beauregard, of New Yjjrk. and Martin, of New Jersey, the latter having been connected v.fth the Marlborough, at Asbury Park. These lessees will establish the Cleveland Springs hotel as both a summer and winter resort and are starting out on a program that gives inspiration to the people of Shelby.

Chapel Hill.—North Carolina has had a remarkable renaissance in drama in the last 10 years, accord ing to Frederich H. Koch, director of the Carolina Playmakers, who ; summarizes the work of the Play makers in that renaissance in an article in the current issue of The Carolina Play Book just off the press. The Carolina Play Book, begun last March, is. published quarterly by the Carolina Playmakers and the Carolina Dramatic association. Its purpose is to bring about closer fellowship among Playmakers and a continuing participation in the mak ing of a people’s theater in North Carolina. Professor Koch is editor of The Play Book. “Ten years ago.” Professor Koch Writes, “Barrett Clark tells us that North Carolina was stricken from the mailing list of Samuel French. Inc., publishers of plays, aS a dead state. It was so dead, in fact, in its dramatic interest as not to warrant the postage- necessary for mailing their catalogues! Organized. “Ten years ago the Carolina Play makers was formed and our bureau of community drama was organized Five years ago our Carolina Drama tic festival and state tournament or- j ganized. “In this decade the Carolina ' Playmakers have produced 59 of their original folk-plays by 42 dif- j ferent authors. Eight of these are I early plays by Paul Green, winner of! the Pulitzer prize in 1927., for his ! epic tragedy of the negro, "In Abra- i ham’s Bosom.” The highest lecogni- i tion that can come to playwright in America has come to one of our i own Playmakers. And today, since ' the simple beginnings of the Caro lina Playmakers, three other native North Carolinians—Lula Volmer, Hatcher Hughes and Anne Bridges j —have made an important contri- i button to American folk drama on j Broadway. I 21 Tours. "Our Playmakers have made 21 tours, playing in every nook and corner of North Carolina. Tennes see. Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania and New York. We have played in 53 dif ferent towns in North Carolina and j in 27 of the leading cities in other states. We have played to 347 dif-! ferent audiences, numbering in all more than 150.000. “Two volumes of our Carolina Folk-Plays have been published by Henry Holt and company, and a third volume is now in the press. These plays have been widely read and produced in towns and cities all over the United States. "We now have our own . well equipped building on the campus— the Playmakers theater, the first state-owned theater in America to be devoted to the making of its own native drama. “Far Irom being dead today in North Carolina, we are very much alive to the drama in this year of grace—and our state-wide Carolina Dramatic association ’’ NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND By virtue of authority invested in me as Administrator with the will annexed of the estate of E.

David Clark Scores Conditions In Greenville Hotels While The Textile Exposition Was There Declares Decent Women Were Ill Suited On Floors Of Hotel; Liquor Run Like Water. David Clark, editor of The Tex tile Bulletin of Charlotte, recently attended the Southern Textile Ex position in Greenville. Mr Clark was much disgusted with conditions in the hotel in Greenville m which he was a guest. He writes editorially in The Bulletin: “The editor of this journal has often spent a night in a hotel, on the we of a big footba'l game, when it appeared that about 90 per cent of those present had imbibed freely and wanted to make all the noise possible. “We have witnessed single nights of that kind but never un til the Southern Textile exposition of last week have we witnessed an entire week of continuous drinking and carousing. "The hotel in which we stayed in Greenville was wide open both as to Liquor and women. "While seated on Monday night in a friend's room with six other men, the door opened and two girls walked in. unexpected and uninvit ed. but left soon because ‘the crowd was too large,' and when we tried to sleep on Friday night we could hear the loud voices of women vis itors in the next room. “Theer were so many fast wo men in the hotel that a decent wo man could seldom go from the ele vator to her room without being in sulted by men. There were so many fast wo everywhere and apparently not the slightest effort to control it On Wednesday morning a man was fast asleep on the floor in one of the halls and on Friday night in the main lobby, with ladies seated nearby, a man removed his coat and shoes and stockings and was stop ped just when he arose from his seat for the purpose of removing his pants. “We do not expect men who at tend a convention or an exposition to behave as they would at home, but there is a limit to the extent to which they should go and many certainly exceeded that limit at Greenville. “The only explanation, that we ' can see, is that the representatives j of seme firms secured considerable ■ sums for the ‘entertainment of cus tomers,’ and then spent practically the entire amount on liquor and women for themselves and their as sociates. “If some firms who made ap propriations for 'entertainment’ would call for the details of the en teitainment and the names of the customers entertained we believe they would have an awekning "We say that the behavior of many men during the Southern Textile exposition went far beyond moderation and decency and we care not who these remarks hit.” Page Resigns As Highway Leader To Ask Legislature For Part Time Job,. Built Road Systems. Raleigh.—State Highway Commis sioner Frank Page, director of North Carolina $126,000,000 road program, announced his intention of taking up other work at the first of the year, at a meeting of the state highway commlssoners ihere. The commissioners expect to bring a measure before the next legisla ture seeking to make it possible for Mr. Page to continue as chairman without salary on a part time basis on which the nine district commis sioners are appointed. Asked if he would continue as chairman of the commission on this new basis. Mr. Page stated following the meeting that this would "depend on the action of the legislature and the wishes of the next governor." On account of the diminshlng pro gram of construction on state high ways, it is advisable to curtail the expenses of the organization, Mr. Page stated, and that after January 1, his services as full time commis sioner would not be necessary. Although Mr, Page refused to an nounce what work he would be en gaged in after the first of the year, It was learned and confirmed by Col. H. F. Friess, of Winston-Salem, that negotiations for Mr. Page’s services with the Wachovia Bank and Trust company’s branch here are under way. The board of managers of the Ra leigh branch will meet here Novem ber 8, and the general board of di rectors in Winston-Salem November 16, at which time the matter is ex pected to be definitely settled. An expansion of the Raleigh bank ap pears to be contemplated. Announcement wfas made that on January 1, N. S. Calhoun, one of the vice presidents of the Wachovia, will be promoted and transferred from the Raleigh office to the Win ston-Salem office of the bank. ..---- % ALEXANDER SPOTS WOOD Consulting Mining Engineer Member of the A.

Paris.— Beauty out of a bottle made a large fortune for Helena Rubenstein. Now part of her profits from the beauty business are being devoted to art which is more than skin deep. She is going to build an English Lit tle Theatre in the heart of Mont parnasse, foreign artist's quarter. She calls it an investment, but she does not expect it to pay dividends for many years, she says. Madame Rubenstein. in private life Mrs. Edward Titus, has been in vesting in art movements and as sisting struggling artists for years. A development of this assistance which will materialize in finished form about the same time as the English Little Theatre, a year from now. is the erection of a studio apartment house in Montparnasse She intends to rent a hundred apartments at minimum rates. On that investment also she expect,, her profits to be long in showing. “Paris is full of talented artists who live in a pitiable fashion” Ma dame Rubenstein explained. "I can help them a little in a practical wav. Undernourishment and discom fort do not aid art:' She is not lavishing her fortune to keep mediocre artists at work, however. ‘T think mediocrity: should be made to work at something useful,” is her ultimatum. She applies the principle to her own life, for her two sons are to be fitted for pro fessions and not . the arts, "because I'm sure they would be bad artists,' their mother says. The Rubenstein Little Theatre in Montparnasse, w'hich she hopes will prove the outlet in English for some of Europe's contemporary dramas, will have a seating capacity of 400. Madame Rubenstein's husband, pub lisher in Paris of books in English, TRUSTEE S SALE, Bv virtue of the power vested in me as trustee in a certain deed of trust, executed 30th day of July, 1927. 1.0 secure an indebtedness to Cleveland Building and Loan as sociation, in the sum of $2000.00. the payment of which was assumed by L.
