sonally acquainted until the play "Roseanne" had been examined and accepted on it's merits.
 It was an interesting fact to Miss Kirkpatrick that the first serious, and genuinely emotional full length play about negroes should have been written by a former Agnes Scott stu dent. But aside from that it was the sort of play she had been seeking for long time. She had been so inn. pressed with the dramatic possibil- ities of such a theme that she had several times discussed with Harris Dickson the idea of making play from his famous Coffin Club" stories. But nothing had ever come of it.
 In casting "Roseanne." Miss Kirk patrick refused to consider any of the actors who didn't possess nat ural. or who couldn't assume the rich. vocal infections of the negro. As a result of this possibility the cast is almost entirel va southern cast is almost entirely a southern personally acquainted with the set ting and the soil from which Miss Stephens derived her story. Four of the players are from Georgia.
 Miss Tracy L'Engle, formerly of Atlanta. and a sister of Phil L'Engle has leading comedy relief role. Miss l. Engle mas appeared In other New York plays and operated for sea- son in a little theatre in Jackson vile, Fla. Murray Bonnet, the juve- nile. is from Decatur; Sydney Hollo- way is from Cedartown, and Rosa Powell, one of the choir leaders, from Atlanta. Other former southerAers in the play are Chapel Cory, Jr, Birmingham; Kathleen Comegys, Baton Rouge, La.; Marie Taylor, Texas; Conway Sawyer and Mary Van Deren, Virginia; Robert Strauss, Tennessee. The scenery was designed by Robert Peter Davis, formerly of South Carolina, and the spiritual singing is being directed by William Reddick, a Kentuckian.
 'Roseanne" is not a propaganda play, and make no attempt to solve the race question. It is 8 sympa- thetic treatment of the negro's emo tional and religious life.
 Both Nan Stephens and Mary Kirk patrick are well known in this city. the latter having visited here a num- Der of times Miss Stephens, as head of the Atlanta Music club, has many friends in the musical life of the south, and is well known personally. Friends here are pleased to know of her success

President Harding Appeals to Nation
BRITAIN VERY DIFFER AGAINST STAYD
 BY FRANCE:
BELIEVE FRANCE WOULD KEEP GERMANY IN STATE OF
 PERPETUAL BONDAGE

LONDON, May 25.-England be- lieves that the question of reparation by Germany is now definitely subordi- mated to the idea of keeping Germany in a state of perpetual servitude.
 Opinion here in England is unanimous that the separations question should be Te-opened and given to a commits sion to determine what Germany can really pay. England expected that when France realized the economic failure of the Ruhr invasion it would government, but H now realizes that Poincare has committed himself so deeply that he cannot turn back If he fails to maintain his policy his own fall is certain.
 Both Italy and Belgium are dis qujeted over the stalemate in the Ruhr. Moreover, while the chief con- sequence of the economic holdup ot the Ruhr falls on Germany France is sustaining heavy loss. The mere cost of the occupation is enormous. The Lorraine iron industry is coilaps- ing because of lack Of coal from the Runr
 Finally the military position pre- sents a serious problem with 100000 armed men in the midst of six million people, far from their base and de- pendent on supplies on communica ton through hostile country.
 France is unable to strengthen her military position on account Of the tremendous demand for man power, ! which would bring about revolt ii drawn by conscription from French ciizenry.
