Tells Students
Gullah Tales
By KATHERINE BRUNSON
"Every time-I get on my feet be
fore an audience, I "trembt4"for
fear that they won't understand
what I am talking about," said Mr.
Harold S. (Dick) Reeves, noted
humorist and teller of "Gullah"
tales, at the second in a series of
monthly assembly programs in the
Field house last Friday.
"Because 'Gullah' is the only lan
guage of its kind, it is extremely
difficult to understand because of
its dialect," said Reeves.
His most interesting experience
came when the Society of Preserva
tion of Spirituals, of which he iE
a member, went to the White
House during the Roosevelt regime.
There he miet the late president
Roosevelt and entertained him with
a number of "Gullah" stories.
One of Mr. Reeves's favorite
tales told in "Gullah" style was the
one about an old colored womar
during the earthquake in Charles
ton in August, 1886.
The earth was trembling and the
old darkie was scared to death. She
dropped to her knees and started
praying. "Dear God, please hell
us. Oh, dear God, be with us. God
plae on e dmrn and atop thb
terrible thing that is with us. An<
please, Gqd, come yourself. Don'
send your son as this is no job foi
chill'un,"
' "I have enjoyed my visit her<
this morning. The audience was
most cordial. I hope it won't be to<
long before I will be able to re
turn," added Mr. Reeves before
leaving his Alma Mater.

Blithe Spirit'
fo Be Given
By Players
By PAT DAVIS
Shades of Elvira's ghost!
The Noel Coward stage hit
Blithe Spirit" is coming to the
Jniversity theater on November 1
nd 2. This improbable farce in
hree acts will open the season for
he Players. Performances will be
rin at 8:15 p. m. each evening at
)rayton hall.
"Blithe Spirit" is a comedy with
he emphasis on the spirit. Fast
noving, unusual, and often sur
)rising, it combines those two dra
natic enjoyables, comedy and sus
pense, masterfully.
Imagine the predicament of a
happily married man whose dead
wife returns to haunt him. This
happens to Charles Concomine
(Jim Sitgreaves) with delightful
results. He is torn between loyalty
to the calm, charming Ruth (Pat
Jones) and the mischievous sp!rit
of his first wife, Elvira (Pat
Davis).
The quandry is not improved
any by the appearance of Madame
Arcati (Barbara Cloyd), the mys
tic who tries innumerable artifices
to get rid of Elvira. The Brad
mans (Flora Jefferies and Bob
Holmes) and Edith (Estar La
Bruce) add more confusion to an
already involved situation.
Miller Lide, president of the
Players and Alpha Psi Omega, is
lirecting "Blithe Spirit." Profes
ior Adger Brown is the faculty ad
risor. He can boast of much ex
)erience in amateur theatrical
)roductions, not the least of which
was the lead in "Blithe Spirit" in
Town theater production some
;ime ago.
