Suba/diary of The Ameries Chariest FOR S4 R. L. GR AY, GI R. V. IRBY, "SAND" DELIGIGTS LAfV-MAKEIlS' Play Writtn by Miss Rebecca Dial Well Received in Columbia. The.-following account of the first perform'ance of -"Sand," the play writ ten by Aiss Rebecca Dial, daughter of Senator N. 1. 'Dial, of this city, ap Ilieared, 'In The -State Friday morning and is an Indication of the success swith which tilre play w-as received in Colum bia: "Sand," played last night before a goodly nuiber of legislators and their friends at the Town theater, 'proved to be both a laughable and thought-pro voking play. The story has to do with a neighborhood of backward illiterates who because of the teaching of two girls from Winthrop college learn to read 'and write and to Mve better and fuller lives. It was the sort of "larn ing that even -helped rumatiz,," accord ing to Sam Anderson, admirably played 'by, Palmer McMaster, the old father who strongly opposed "larnin" at first. The parts were well chosen and played 'with an understanding surpris ing in amateurs. Miss Frances Sylvan, as Mrs. San Anderson or "Ma" was amusing and brought roars of laughter from the interested audience. Miss le becca Ilial, author and yproducer of the play, as Minnie Ndagara Jones, was particularly good, showing a real un derstanding of the silly, vain back woods girl with no ambition nor op liortunity. She nade the lawmakers laugh a-plenty. W. C. Seagle as Jim nile Anderson was a real boy and add ed a great part to the life of the play. The school teacher, Miss Irene Warter, as Miss Gary, played her part well, as did I. M0. Halford as Warren Anderson, the soldier son of, Sam An dorson. Miss llise Currell as Mary Ferguson, Mrs. 1. L. Parkinson as Mrs. loeck,'lorick lornsby as Liza Anne loebuclN, S. 'B. Estes 'as Buck Upshaw; A. 0. V. I loIfman as Sandy Lawton, C. M. 10leazer as H. A. Hiarrington and McBride Dabbs as Mr. Peyton, are worthy of praise. The play was given in four acts, the first show-ing the wpoorly arranged home of tho Andersons and the fami ly with a mortgage banging over its head at the time of the appearance of the school teacher. The final act shows the home very much improved, thingH tastefully arranged, 'Mr. and Mrs. An 'derson neatly dressed, Jimmie bothered over having to wash so muclh, the mort 'gage .paid, and Warren Anderson, n college gradulate and engaged to marry the school teacher, Miss Gary. The play was human and appealing in its understanding of the adult il literate., It was given for the benefit of the illitertacy commission, of which .Dr. Patterson Wardlaw is chairman. Dr. Wardlaw made a short talk be tween theacts telling of the 'good ac complished duning the year by this work and said that 15,000 adults had enrolled in the schools.. Mose Manini, a Greek of Colum'bia. and Hug'h Ousley of Darlington, both students in adult schools, told of the good done for them.
