The theater opened on February 12, 1786, with George Farquhar's play, m? Recruiting Officer." Repeat performances of this play, and several Other popular plays were produced in the ensuing year. May 21, 1787 brought the first recorded presentation of a Shakespearean production on this continent. The "Song of Mad Tom,"presumably an excerpt from "Kinp Lear" was the play, accompanying the fourth performance of the "Recruiting Officer."

The battle of labor groups for leadership of the Negro working man is on. Two weeks ago, a right wing segment of organized labor met at the Theresa Hotel to set up a National Negro Labor Committee. A week later, last Saturday, a "Job Action Conference," sponsored by the National Negro Laboj Council, a so-called left-wing group, was held in the same hotel, in the same room. Rf^presentatives of at least 35 tabor organizations, both CIO and AFL, attended th? meeting which lasted all afternoon. The conference made plans t* intensify the Greater N. Y Negro Labor Council's campaign for 10,000 new jobs, upgrading and apprenticeship training in tho buildng trades, printing, food, and railroad utilities. ^ The main speaker at the conference was Ewart Guinier, international secretary of the United Public Workers Union, vice president of th< National Negro Labor Council and chairman of the Ford Local 000, CIO, Detroit, Is national president of N Guinier.

ATER, CHARLESTON was built on the site, and later, in 1835, the hotel was-remodeled to s include the theater. This last theater was restored by the Federal Government in the 1930's, faithfully following the original model. The theater has the prescribed thirteen boxes, each ac comodating eight people. In the pit, arms' and backs have been added to traditional benches for comfort. The interior is panelled in cypress, and all around the walls are electrical fixtures resembling the original candelabra. The third Dock Street Theater was reopened on November 2G, 1937, *wvth the performance of the initial play, 'The Recruiting Officer." The Dock Street Players has become one of South Carolina's leading little theater organizations, giving performances in their home theater, and occasionally offering excellent road productions for the' rest of the state. cauahrt ?wr rtadM whk South Car alios Avery P-TA Honors Duet By (Mrs.) E.
