White CARGO At
PARSONS THEATER
New York Cast Superb in Pre-.
Sentin6 Unique Drama
(By Herald Reviewer)


II Is easy 10 understand Why
White Cargo" is acclaimed as the
greatest dramatic achievement OF
the day. The New York company
which began q weeks engagement at
Parsons thcater, Hartford, last night
paves way for that understanding.
white Cargo" is not a play
which will be enjoyed by fastidious
souls who shudder when strong eX-
pletives ararnsed. They will cringe
in their seats. But -blooded hui
mans who have ceased to believe In
fairies and who see life as 1t Is will
drink this hot dramatic vine and
smack their lips, because it is so dit
ferent from the silly milk and water
balderdash which Pollyannas Of the
pen serve up and ask the race TO
accept as a true picture Of exist
enCe.
The tale deals with rubber camp
on the west coast Of Africa and the
few white men who comprise the
only representatives OF the race in
that desolate country. It Is handled
without gloves. superbly handled by
a cast which defes improvement.
There IS convincing atmosphere
about the play, atmosphere bring
ing from the stage gusts OF Africa's
fotid air which rots vegetation and
mems souls
Conway Wingheld appears as the
doctor in the camp a kindly. geninl.
reminiscent gentleman who has not
allowed his isolation to destroy his
pathetic optimism. Wingheld Is
splendid and well deserved the
plaudits Of an audience which was
large for Monday night.
But even Wingfeld's talent could
rot obscure the truly remarkable
characteristics OF "Witzcl" by Car.
Brickert. Here is a voluntary exile
into whose being has crnpt IRONY
hatred of himself and his fellow
whites, bitterness and abandonment
Of faith In heaven and earth, and
yet who in the end provides the so
lutton TO the problem around which
the story is woven. Brickert Is great

HURRY
REMAINS UNABATED

SACRAMENTO-Despite the ap
parent indifference of Arizona, it is
considered here that, should the Cali
fornia legislature adopt the resolu-
ton of Representative A. c. Fnneg
Of Imperial county for ratification Of
the six-state treaty in regard to Colo
RADIO river, the provisions of the orr
ginal pact drafted at Santa F'e, II. NJ,
in 1922, under the supervision Of Sec
retary Of Commerce Hoover, at once
would become operative. Colorado
and Wyoming already have adopted
the six-state compact, and the other
states in tie two basins OF the river
with the exception of Arizona, are be-
lieved willing to do so.
"Should six states out of q total
of seven enter into an agreement

BISHOP, ATWOOD WILL
RESIGN, is REPORTED

Though official announcement has
not been made, the Rt.-Rev, Julius w.
Atwood is reported TO have resigned
as bishop Of the Episcopal missionary
diocese of Arizona. This action is said
to be due wholly to the weight of
years and desire to be with his daugh-
ters in the east
Bishop Atwood, native Of Yer
mont, born in 1857, was ordained to
the priesthood in 1883, serving as
rector Of churches in Ipswich, Mass,
Providence, r. l., and Columbus, Ohio,
before coming to Arizona in 1906, to
be archdeacon of the local diocese ana
rector Of Trinity church in Phoenix
January II, 1911, he was ordained
bishop, succeeding John Mills Ken
dficl, who then took especial charge
in New Mexico, which had been em-
braced with Arizona in a single
charge.
The administration of Bishop At
wood has been marked by notable
church growth, with strong organiza-
tions now known in more than a
dozen Arizona cities, beside number
OF missions. In 1921 was completed
the cathedral in Phoenix. He has
been deeply interested in st. Luke,s
home, q tubarcular sanitariuln, found
ed by him in Phoenix, with branches
on the desert, near Tucson, and IN the
pines, near Prescott. He also has car
fied on the work of a church hos
pitai established by Bishop Kendrick
at Fort Defiance on the Navajo In
dian reservation in northeastern Ari-
zona.
II is considered possible that Bishop
Atwood's successor will be William
Scarlet, dean of Christ church cathe-
dral, St. Louis. Dean Scaflett, a Har-
ward graduate, ordained to the priest
hood in 1910, was an assistant IN St.
Georges church, New York, till ne
came to Phoenix in 1911 to be dean Of
the local cathedral, place held by
him till he went to st. Louis in 1927.

leading into Yuma from the north

CONGRESS AUTHORIZES
EHRENBURG TOLL BRIDGE

The lower house Of congress has
passed the bill calling for the con-
struction Of a high class highway
bridge across the Colorado river con-
Meeting Ehrenburg and Blythe, accord
ing to a wire received from Cor gress-
man Carl Hayden.
The bill in question was intre duccd
by Representative Swing of California
and is similar to the Senator Short
ridge bill which had already beer
passed by the senate. An amendment
to the Shortridge bill provides for
prior approval of plans by the Arizona
and California highway depart mants
as to safety and sufficiency for traf-
fic
The bridge is to be constructed by
the Harrington, Howard and Ash conn
pany of Kansas City as an estimated
cost of 100000 under the supervision
of the war department. The cost
will be betrayed by q toll charge esti-
mated not to exceed 81 per vehicle, a.
compared to $3.50 per car now charg-
ed for ferrying 1t is also provided
that the states of California and AYi-
zona may purchase the bridge at any
time at price to be set by the war
deDartment.
The construction of the bridge, it is
authoratively stated, is in no wise
contingent upon the improvement OF
the road between Phoenix and Pres
colt to Ehrenburg, though it is as
sumed that such improvement will fol-
lew as matter OF course.
