Gray Play for the Opening

A play by Miss Frances Gray
has been chosen for the opening
of the Playmaker Theatre, and
it is hoped that the opening may
take place in May. The first
scene of Miss Gray's play is set
on the portico of the theatre
itself at the outbreak of the
Civil War, At that period the
building was the University's
ballroom; and dancing goes on
inside while the moon shines
down on the characters of the
drama.

Chapel Hill Chaf

One of Mark Twain's eccen-
tricities was bright dress. He
was always inveighing against
the solemnity of mems clothes,
and, himself, wore white flan-
nels in the winter time-rein-
forced, of course, by ample un-
derclothing. l like to see men
we'll along in years with a gen.
erous touch of color about them
just as l like to see Robert
L. Strowd putting cigarettes be-
cause it gives him a youthful
appearance. Sunday morning
my eye was caught, and pleased,
by the aspect of DR.. Minor of
Asheville as he passed by the
post-office. He had on a red
tie, and a red-bound book that
he carried in his hand was in
harmony with it. Upon reach

DIR. Minor was born in 1865. I
was inclined to write to the edi-
tor of the book and tell him he
had put a 6 where another 8

This has been puzzling to me
Why is it that John Lasley

but is not accompanied by one

World Flight Pictures
Remarkable Exhibition to Be Given
Here Monday, March %

The young man whose photo
graph appears here is Lieuten-
ant John Harding, one of the
American Army officers who
made the around-the-world air
plane flight. He will be in
Chapel Hill Monday, March
23,-week after next-and will
accompany, with a story of his
and his brother officers adven-
lures, what is said to be one Of
the most remarkable moving
pictures ever seen on the screen.
The movie will be shown in
Memorial Hall under the auspi-
ces of the Carolina Playmakers.
Now and then during the per-
formance Lieutenant Harding
gives way to Lowell Thomas who
describes the scenes before and
after the flight.
The planes are seen flying
over jagged mountains and a.
cross seas and deserts. The pic
lures show them leaving Seat
tie on their first hop to the
Kamchatkan peninsula One
scene is the mountain against
which Maj. Frederick Martin,
flight commander, crashed. He
remained lost for five days, and
dog teams and natives are shown
in their search for him.
Siberia, Japan, China, Siam,
and India all flow beneath the
planes. On the fliers go to
Paris, London, and across the
Arctic ocean to Greenland.
Then comes the arrival in A
merica, and the trans-continen-
tai flight to Seattle.
After the pictures were shown
in Nashville, Tennessee, not long
ago, R. E. McGill wrote in the
Nashville Banner:
"There was a spirit about the
thing, there was something, an
intangible something, that
brought one along as they left
Sand Point field at Seattle. The
very simplicity of the story,
the very magnitude of the feat,
made it vivid, made it live as
nothing else has lived for those
who bear in their hearts a pride
in their country and a love for
brave hearts.
"This lecture and these pic
lures constitute the spirit of
American achievement. The
achievement was greater than
any that had gone before, and
the story was without boast
or heraldry. Those who seek
for the American spirit find it
in these pictures and the story
told by the men who went on
the great adventure"

BUSES MAY STOP
AT R. R. STATION
Nothing in New Ordinance tC
Prevent Their Landing
Passengers There
RAILWAY co. HAS SPACE

Both Mayor Manning and
City Manager Rigsby told a
representative of the Weekly
yesterday that Durham's new
bus ordinance did not prevent
the Chapel Hill-Durham cars
from leaving passengers off at
the door of the railway station.
But it does forbid their parking
on the street nearest the station
to wait for incoming passen-
gers.
Incoming passengers bound
for Chapel Hill must walk a
block to the east to the place
where the busses are parked on
private property.
The new ordinance, which
went into effect a week or so a.
go, was aimed primarily at the
huge cars plying between Dur
ham and Raleigh and Durham
and Greensboro. These were
cOngesting the streets, and
their drivers, frequently strug-
Cling for preferred positions,
were a nuisance to the public.
The ordinance intended to regu-
late them applies also to the
much smaller and less trouble
some Chapel Hill-Durham cars
and has caused serious incon-
venience to people going to and
from Chapel Hill.
The railway company owns
the space several feet out from
the station at the main entrance,
and it also owns the big open
space to the west. If the COM
pany is willing to allow this
space to be used, for the accom-
mediation of it's passengers, it
may do so-there is nothing a.
bout the ordinance that pre-
vents it. The company is at en-
tire liberty to make what regu-
lations it pleases' for parking
on it's own property.
The bus drivers are now seek
ing an interview with the re-
sponsible railway authorities
in order to obtain reasonable
parking rights.
Instructions have been given
to the Durham police not to in
terfere with any driver letting
passengers off at the station
entrance. If they are prohibited
from doing this the prohibition
must come from the railway
company.

OPPOSE REMOVING
DURHAM'S BODY
Relatives Of the Founder of the
City Are Not Friendly
to the Idea
CANNOT IDENTIFY GRAVE

The kinfolks of DR.. Bartlett
Durham, who founded the city
of Durham and at his death 65
years ago was buried in a metal
casket in the Antioch church
section, are not friendly to the
proposal to remove his body to
Durham.
This removal was first sug-
gested a few years ago. The
matter was dropped, but last
week the suggestion was re-
vived, and it was said that a
committee of Durhamites want
ed to come over to the burying
ground west of Chapel Hill, dis
inter the body, carry it to the
city for reburial. and erect a
monument over it.
Three quarters of a century
ago, when a farmer in the path
of the North Carolina Railroad
would not let the railroad pass
through his property, DR.. Bart
lett Durham paid him $500 for
a strip of land and gave the
land to the company for a right
of way. That is where the
railroad passes through the city
of Durham today. And when
he died, the doctor, who was
childless, bequeathed more land
to the city-which had not be-
come a city then but was moth
ing more than a few frame
houses struggling along the
railroad.
In Chapel Hill and in the
country roundabout there are
today scores of kinsmen and
kinswomen of DR.. Bartlett Dur
ham. He was the uncle of the
grandfather of Carl Durham,
assistant in the Eubanks drug
store. Moody Durham and nu-
merous other Durhams are of
the tribe; and Mrs. S. J. Brock
well, and the Paul Lloyds out
at Sunnyside, and many others.
II don't know that any offic-
ial kick has been made a.
gainst the removal of the body"
said one of DR.. Durham's hns-
men yesterday, "but we don't
care for the idea. All of the
kin with whom I have talked
seem to be against it. If the
city wants to erect a monument
to it's founder, all right; but
there doesn't seem to be any
good reason for taking his body
away from the family burying
ground.
Zone reason for not trying to
do it is that nobody knows ex-
actly which one of the graves
is his. 1t has no tablet over it
and it is one of a row of graves
all of which are unmarked. I
talked this thing over with Cen
Julian S. Carr a year or so be-
fore he died, and we agreed that
there was no way of being sure
which was DR.. Bartlett Dur
hams grave.

OF the asylum were warned to make
no outcry and told not to report
