1.-The White Slave. /"

BARLEY Campbelrs The White
Slave" a play that has fascinated au-
diences for over three decades. will be
presented this week at Polls Theater.
beginning Sunday night.
Robert Campbell. son of the author,
has given the piece a new production
and a company of capable players. with
Rita Knight, d talented southern girl,
In the role of Lisa.
The story concerns white girl whose
grandfather has made the world believe
she is his slave. when. in fact. she ia
the child of his own daughter, in order
to avoid stigma OH the family name.
Upon the death of the grandfather the
girl is sold as one of the negro slaves
of the estate and becomes the property
of William Lacy. d.sreputable Mis-
sissippf planter. Around these facts
the author has woven an intensely drA-
matte story with a vein of delightful
romance.
The scenes are laid in the south and
the costuming and atmosphere Of ante
bellum days have been faithfully re-
produced. Plantation scenes introduce
a number of clever negroes in the
melodies and dances characteristic of
the race before the civil war.
