"Double Door" Was
Artistic Triumph
By F. H. 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.

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
