Courier Journal) Snakes and hymn singers rock in’ and rollin’ on the stage, and Governor Frank G. Clement, of Tennessee smiling in the aud ience— Any way you look at it, last night was an exciting one at the Playhouse on the University ot Louisville campus. It was the opening night of the Little Theatre company’s produc tion of “Strangers In This World" Bralnard Cheney’s study of a snake cult in a remote Tennessee valley. , The snakes—they ^were 'harm less bull snakes—obeyed the rules at dramatic suspense and waited rintll the end of the second act to appear. Governor Clement had good rea son to be present. Playwright Che ney. who sat beside him in the fifth row, is on the Governor’s public relations staff. Flashes Youthful Smile v Asked If the play accurately de picted Tennesseans. Clement flashed his youthful smile and said. "We Tennesseans are very much like Kentuckians." He noted that he had spent half his life In Kentucky—in plac es like Bowling Green, Scottsville and Kyrock. "I sure hope those snakes don’t get loose." the handsome chief executive added. "If they do you can check with me at the hotel." Clement declined to pass crit ical judgment on his aide’s play, but said: "I’m here out of respect for Mr. Cheney. 1 get credit for a lot of things he does, so I wanted to come here and give him credit for something be had done." Praises Playhouse Clement described the Play house as "a beautiful theatre." expressed appreciation that Mayor Broaddus had a limousine t o greet him at Standiford Field, and expresed regret that he would be unable to visit Gov. Chandler. Doctors were in the big aud ience for both business and pleas ure. They were prepared to ad minister aid in case anyone fainted at the sight of the snakes. Actually the women spectators seemed to shudder more at the rats allegedly being fed to the snakes than at the snakes. In fact, most of them seemed rather amused at the serpents. The whole production was en tertaining. Along with the snake rituals, the play has a love trian gle involving the snake-wielding preacher, an I-want-a-scoop news paperman from Chattanooga and a beautiful girl in the preacher’s flock. John Caldwell, the play’s direc tor, was the preacher, and turn ed in a vibrant, soulful perform ance. Skillful, too, were Miss Eli zabeth Hill as the pretty girl and Andy Chappell as the newspaper man. The leads and the supporting cast played with an esprit de corps that gave the production genuine folk flavor. They were aided by attractive sets, designed by Lowell Roberts, and good tunes. There were moments of real intensity, as when the cultist, conscious of the disdain in which they are held, sing about being "strangers in this world" and go into a St. Vitus dance on the floor. Mrs. Blease Dies In Columbia Mrs. Carolina Floyd Knott Blease, 59, died at the Baptist Hos pital, where she was seriously ill the past ten weeks. Mrs. Blease was a native of Sil- verstreet.

I was behind first base tossing a few easy ones to Ed Stone when Roger came up to me. “Got the dark one working today, Barney?*’ he drawled. “Hi Roger! Sure hope so. Say, where’ve you been for the last couple ol weeks? The old Eagles don’t play the same when you’re not around. That was a heart- breaker we lost last Sunday " “Going to honor your old team mates by being in the dug-out to day?" asked Ed Stone shuttling up. "If Grandpa’ll have me," said Roger with a grin. "Grandpa" was Phil Norris, manager of the Eagles. Roger had always been Grandpa’s favorite ball player. The old man hadn t spoken tor a week after Roger had hurt his arm in the automobile ac cident. That was almost two years ago. The Eagles had dug up many pitchers since then, myself in cluded. but none as good as Roger Hackett. “Poor guy’s still eating his heart out,” Ed said as we watched Roger approach Grandpa I nodded agreement. “He’s got no business selling insurance. He belongs in baseball; it’s in his blood.” . “Doesn’t look too prosperous either," Ed observed. Then he turned to me with a sparkle in his eye. "Say Barney. I got an idea. Your fast one’s got a good hop on it today. How’d you like to do Roger a real favor?" "Sure.” I replied, "but what’s the catch?” "Never mind. I’ll let you know when I get some of the wrinkles ironed out. One thing though— we’ve got to beat the Sparrows to day." “We’ll beat em," 1 said confi dently. It was easier to say than do My pitching held up bu’ tr.? S~ o-vs had a new man calico oill ^panwle who was as flashy as hi* name. Our batters swung so much they were getting dizzy; our diet hit came in the fifth inning. Ed Stone was cooking up some thing. Between innings he’d trot over to Roger’s end of the dugout. I didn’t catch onto his scheme un- **e game eras algflt over. In the first half of Die eighth the Sparrows’ first baseman whacked my let-up pitch tor a double With the score still 0-0 we were in trou ble. Ed strolled out to the mound, e “Ease up. Barney," he said softly "Keep your low one on the Inside —he’ll swing away. Two outs you know." "This could go on ail mght un less we get some hits." I growled *TU get s hit for you next time he . promised “Now please simmer down—for Roger’s sake 1 was beginning to catch on A tew minutes later ’ saw Ed talking earnestly to Grandpa Hog er. unheeding and drekmy eyed was staring out at the plgy^ig field When he leaped to his feet I shifted gate: a tap that sho*M have been an easy bbt bounced over the Sparrows’ first baseman’s head Because we had a man on third at the time we went into the lead 1-6 A few minutes later the game waa over. We had won! The world is a beautiful place to a winning pitcher I walked slowly back to the dug-out with my hand on Ed’s shoulder. "Thank Roger," Ed said m, an undertone. “What'*" “Go ahead—thank lim." When we reached the dug-out I faced Roger. Grandpa, and the I other smiling players. “Thank you Roger." 1 stammered, with- | out knowing just why Roger couldn’t talk. He was all ; choked up and I thought he was going to cry He held out his hand. “Roger s going to be with us again." Grandpa announced proud ly “He’ «ig « nn as tue Eagles new p.tCt.Jig coach." • Good Breakfast Helps Athletes >lf young Johnny aspires to be another ^Red" G iraage, J« Owene, or Ted Lyons—-or if he just wants to be a good all- around athlete and student— he'd better look to his breakfast habits. While everybody needs a good breakfast, nutritionists say, this is particularly true of teen-agers who for mental alertness and general good health must start the dav with a good meal. Ath letic directors agree. * K. L. “Tug” Wilson, president of the U. S. Olympic Association and commissioner of the Big Ten, credits improved nutrition, of which breakfast is a vital part, as an important factor in better performances of athletes today. M A record in a single event made by an individual in 1925 or 1935 and still standing doesn’t mean much when you look at the whole picture of athletics from high school to Olympics today,” Wilson said. ”We may not pro duce another Owens for ton or twenty years, but it’s the average boy you’ve got to consider. And there are thousands of average boys out-running, out-swimming and out-jumping their counter parts of a generation ago.” Charles Omstoin, who has sup ervised the feeding of America’s inter-national athletic teams for 28 years, stresses good break fasts, light lunches and big din ners as a dietary pattern for his Olympic stars. A. H. Pritolaff, director of tho* Division of Health and Physical Education for Chicago’s Board of Education, believes in teach ing athletes the value of three well-balanced meals a day. u We do not advocate a ’training sched ule’ diet as such today,” he said. There has been a "vast im provement” in the physical con dition of the average sports par ticipant over the last 15 or 20 years, according to Pritolaff, and much of this improvement is due to good diet and a greater knowl edge of nutrition. For teen-agers not so athlet ically inclined, breakfast is still a very im meal. Dr. r important mea R. Wilson, former secre tary, Council on Foods and Nu trition, American Medical Asso ciation, says a good breakfast does this: “It helps an adolescent, who needs more of most foods than his or her parents, get enough calories and essential nutrients for growth and to withstand the Teenagers need not only more calories but also more protein such as they can gat in bread and milk, meat and eggs.” And for everybody. Dr. Wilson and other nutritionists say that a good breakfast should include fruit or fruit juices, cereal, eggs and meat, enriched bread or toast, butter or margarine bt * a beverage.
