"Hie Green Pa Visits C To Have Original Cast " Winner Of Pulitzer Prize In Drama Opens Monday At Oolumbia Auditorium , Opening Monday, October 23, for a two nights engagement at the Co lumbia Township auditorium, "The Green Pastures", celebrated drama by Marc Connelly, will visit Columbia with the original cast which for the past three years has been playing in 1 New York and Chicago. Headed by Richard B. Harrison in 1 the role of the "Lawd" the cast num- 1 bers over 100 negroes with a picked chorus rendering negro spirituals. The 1 cast is the same that opened in New t York with the exception of the Angle { Gabriel who has twice had to be re- ' casted because of death. Awarded the Pulitzer prize in drama * this play is adopted from the book ' "OP Man Adam and His Chullun" by Roark Bradford. It depicts the reli- j gion of the negro of the deep South 1 and by its utter simplicity removes all i taint of sacrilige from a theme that t might well be completely ruined by i less expert handling. It dcpicts a gentle, kindly "Lawd" who ncverthe- ; less knows how to be firm when too j much provoked. Heaven is a place of < continual fishfries and jollification , looked over by the benign "Lawd". < The play itself is written in a series ! of short sketches, the action beginning 1 with creation and coming down to the i destruction of Jerusalem. At first i there is a feeling of jumbled up bits but later a feeling comes of absolute 1 unity around the general theme of the simple religious beliefs of the oldfashioned negro. Although the play itself is a superb ( piece of work and the whole cast has j been picked chief credit for the phc- 1 nomenal success which "The Green Pastures" has enjoyed can be given to ] Harrison in the role of the "Lawd". , Perfectly fitted physically for this dif- < ficult role he makes a perfect prcsenta- , tion of a god who is more of a kindly ; and wise overseer than a distant and t a: wrathful spiritual being. '3 V = Doubts have been expressed if this t play will be produced again within the < Lj next decade or two if ever again be- s cause of .the difficulty of casting the -3 leading role. This will probably be * ^ the only time that Columbians will have a chance to sec this play as it is ^ > probable that the cast will disband at . the end of the present tour. * v. m. a. s Announce Issue Of Carolinian The first issue of The Carolinian will appear on October 20 it was announced this week by W. F. Simpson, business manager of the publication. This year it will be entirely humerous with the literary features of past years eliminated. The change from the old form to the form used this year was decided upon after the publication was dropped from the student activity fee by the Board of Trustees. This year The Carolinian is depending entirely upon student subscriptions and an extended drive is being made to obtain as many as possible before the first issue. Subscriptions can be made through Mrs. Moon at the postofficc or through F. W. Simpson at the Alpha Beta Lodge. James M. Black of Columbia is the editor for the first semester and Fred Youngblood of Savannah, Georgia, is art editor. Eastern Sports Writer Comments On Birds Stan Baumgartner, the Philadelphia Inquirer: "South Carolina's one sixpointer was a combination of a thrilling 42 yard pass, which was followed a moment later with a snaky dash of 20 yards through the Cherry and White line." (Then followed an account of the first two Temple touchdowns.) "For a moment the battle took on the appearance of a rout, but the gallant sandlappers from the South pulled themselves together and sent the fans into a frenzy by crossing the Temple goal-line. "The score came with the suddenness of a bolt of lightning and was spectacularly brilliant. It came only a moment after the kickolT which followed Temple's second touchdown. "Mauney, the Gamecocks' brifilit star of the night, ran Zukas' kick back to his 20 yard line. And then after one play at the Cherry and White line failed to gain,' this doughty field general faded back to his own 20 and hurled a 42 yard pass to Craig. For a moment it seemed as if the Gamecocks, his spurs ripping chalk markafter chalk mark to pieces, would X JH JE u A Dean Heads Drama School Is Helped By Mrs. Dear Theatre At Blowing1 Rock Bum Down, But Dean Plans To Return Next Year After his successful season las winter with the Palmetto Players Wi liam Dean, professor of dramatics i the University, conducted a successfi , school of dramatics at.
