Heath) An appreciative audience rose from their sea-ts at the closing curtain of "Double Door," the dramatic offering of Camdon's Playmakera' Guild at the high school auditorium Friday evening to extend a veritable ovation to a superlative group of amateurs, who had just completed a genuine artistic triumph. It was a stage offering that was so excellently presented that it was deserving of a capacity house. The characters were Interpreted In a most finished manner and I can say with all frankness and candor, It was quite the best amateur show I have ever witnessed. The only matter of regret to my mind was the absence of one person from the stage at the series of curlain demands following the final act. I refer to Mrs. Donald Morrison, director of the play and whom I feel deserves the greatest share of the credit. That was one character, a power behind the scenes, who should have been forced to appear and take her bow. Not only was the offering well ta ken care of from the standpoint of character interpretation, but It was also well staged. Here again we step from the list of characters to name Mrs. John Mullen, who did a masterful bit of work as stage manager. Joe Machado, electrician, performed a miracle of stage lighting effects with a minimum of equipment The costuming was quite in keeping with the period in wlfich the action Is laid and credit for these ideas must be given to Miss 'Sarah Steedman and Mrs. Reuben Pitts. The stage settings had to. be constructed and for a faithful and efficient bit of work we want to pass the plaudits to George; Griswold, G. K. McGrew and the manual training i lass. Now for the cast. As we said in our preview writeup, the character thai drew the words of praise from the New York critics, was Victoria Van Bret and we want to say Miss Celeste Mumford gave this character a most finished interpretation. In fact, it was professionally perfect. Mrs. \V. H. Harris, as Caroline Van Bret, had a most difficult role to fill and she acquitted herself capably. Basil Bruce as Rip Van Bret and MrB. Alexander Clarkson, Jr., as Anna Darrow, later wife of Rip, certainly put over an appealing and dramatic series of scenes. Bryce Herbert as Dr. John Sully has a fine stage voice and also showed himself? to be at home before the footlights. Mrs. John Rauch as Avery; E. L. Stalyey, as Telson; Miss Maggie Trantham as Louise and Herbert Hecht as William, all servants in the Bret house, carried off their characters exceedingly well. George Rhame, as Mr. Chase, G. H. Baum. as Attorney Mortimer. Neff and Frank Riggins as Lambert, an operative, were all splendid. The play was in three acts and four scenes. The sequence was well presented and carried through with dispatch and accuracy. I think the finest work on the part of the characters came in the closing minutes of the last act. All seemed to be pointing to the dramatic finish and if I may use a slang expression, said climax was a "wow." No wonder the audience came up applauding vigorously and demanding several curtain appearances.

The House of David Teatn to Play Here Auulher game has been added to tbo already fine schedule of the Syrucuso Chiefs training t amp period. The House of David team, a really splendid baseball machine and capable of giving the Chiefs a healthy argument will play against the Corbett clan on Friday, April 14. lMans for the dedicatory game on April 11, when the Chiefs meet Augusta are progressing and indications are that all of this part of the Palmetto state will be represented In the several thousand fans anticipated on this "der tag." The new Camden ball park is looking like a professional league layout more and more. Jack Corbett and Manager Dick Porter are enthusiastic over the layout. In fact, Camden, the Court Iun and the people of Camdeu have been given a real endorsement by the visiting baseball magnate and personnel. Monday evening Mr. Corbett, Manager Porter and six of the players who had already reported hero, were guests of the American Legion at legion Hall. There were some sixty Legion members and others on halul to extend a big welcome to the visiting baseballers. Mayor F. N. McCorkle was called upon by Post Commander Carl West to speak and the mayor responded in his usual fine style, bespeaking the j ' cordial attitude of everybody in Camden toward Mr. Corbett and his ball players. Ho^expreased the hope thut the training aeaaou would be so pleasant and successful that the team would return to Camden every spring for years to come. Jack Nettles, who has done a fine Job in getting the baseball park in condition for the training period was next introduced and in turn gave a most pleasing introduction of Mr. Corbett. The visiting baseball magnate spAke for about thirty minutes and his remarks were of much Interest to his listeners. It was all baseball and that is Just what the audience wanted and absorbed with smiles of satisfaction. Mr. Corbett took occasion to introduce Dick Porter and other members of the squad who were present. He then held a fifteen nilnute quiz, during which he answered many questions propounded by the fans present. Gene Lawing, Charlotte sport writer, is in Cauiueu to handle the training camp chatter for four Syraouse papers. Local papers and the press of the mid-south will receive their Camden baseball releases from the Camden News Service., Action pictures* during the training period will be handled by Jake Houston of the Charlotte Observer. A new bYldge to be erected to take the place of the destroyed "Honeymoon Bridge" at Niagara Falls, is to be named the "Rainbow Bridge/' Skipper Sees Test; Takes Nice Disking (By The Skipper) Yhb slr-e-o-e, we Joined (ho Are department last week ?Thursday and had the thrill of riding beside Buck Laney, pilot of the uew flro pumper, helping Chief Fire Marshal Brevard Boykiu boss the Are laddies with the hose and Incidentally Joined Henry Clyburn In taking a beautiful bath when an old six-Inch suotlou hose lot go and tossed several hundred gallons of water over a group surrounding . the pumper. Believe you mo, It was sure funny , and we excuse assistant tire chief Beckham Russell for having a hysterical outburst which put him on the Ital outburst. The fire boys had boots, rubber coats and hats on and did not mind the cloudburst, but Henry and 1, well, the laundry got a job the next day. Seriously however, the Are drill, staged on Mill street midway Between I^aurens and Chesnut, was an Interesting and well offered presentation of lire department efficiency and demonstrated to us all that the new| pumper is a valuable asset to Oam1 den. Imagine four poworful streams of water mounting skyward and over the tops of the towering trees, all being i forced at an 80 to 100 pound pressure 1 through the system on the pumper. ( When we arrived at the hydrant j selected for the hose drill. Driver Daney brought the big machine to f? stop at Just the right distance from the fire plug. In Just one minute and twenty seconds tho crew of firemen had two lines of hose coupled to the outlets on the pumper and powerful streams of water were soaring up into the tree tops. Under the direction of Fire Chief Roykin, the firemen applied a modern hose clamp on one of the lines andt when the flow of water had been halt-1 ed, (wo firemen uncoupled tho hose I and with ends free, applied a Coper I hose jacket. The clamp was releas-f ed and the powerful stream surged | through the jacket and roared out of J the nozzle held ,by two struggling! firemen some hundred feet away. This demonstration was made for the j purpose of showing how, In the event i of a broken or damaged coupling, the j hose jacket can be applied and water; service resumed. Then In rapid succession came the) coupling of two more lines of hosej until four nozzles were shooting pow-: erful streams of water down the j thoroughfare. We want to say right | here that the pumper becomes a demon of power when It Is turning around 200 pounds pressure, four men being required to hold a hose nozzle. Then came the test of tl\e booster j tank. A hose resembling a type used, for garden or lawn purposes and at- j t&ched to a reel can be- unwound some 150 feet. The nozzle emits a pencil like stream which rises high enough to shower over any building lit Camden. This pencil of water la emitted at a high pressure and appears to fan out when It reaches some thirty to forty feet upward. The booster tank lino can be used In combatting at least 85 per cent of tho fl res. Well, friends and fellow mh?omo It was an Interesting afternoon and we wish to extend thanks to Fire Commissioner Vllleplgue for the invitation extended. Included in the afI ternoon session on Mill street were Commissioner Vllleplgue, Fire Chief Boykin, Assltant Fire Chief Russell, Driver I^aney and gremen A1 Alford, Ed Williams, Marlon Bailey and Jake Haynes. t Twenty-two states In the United States have no definite speed limit for automobiles.
