I'm AUNT MAHALY'S CABIN
By Paul Green. Published by
Samuel French, Publisher, rs West
45th Street, New York City. Price
Fifty Cent.
I'm Aunt Mahaly's Cabin" is a
gruesome, vivid picture Of two
Negro criminals escaping from JUS
tice and seeking refuge IN the cabin
of an old conjure woman. Each mis-
trusts the other, and still more they
distrust the ghosts that they know
must be about the place. Murder is
committed and then the survivor be
gins to see supernatural things. AS
he turns one way, a black dog with
terrible eyes confronts him. In an
other corner appears a little child
with long, yellow hair, dressed in
white, and third ghost is jack-mah-
lantern. His body is hairy like a
dog, he leaps like a grasshopper, and
his face is terrible to look upon"
Then comes "Raw-Head and Bloody
Boras" and 1.-THE Iron-Faced- Man.
who wears the uniform of a Yankee
soldier. ut is interesting in this con-
nection to note that Yankee soldier,
who once was the sign of protection
and safety to the black man, is used
as a DOGGY today. Aunt Mahaly, the
old witch, appears at the last with
her COLLINS, and the criminal is
frightened to death. 1t would be a
most entertaining play to stage, with
it's queer lights and it's uncanny
creatures, but it would take Gilpin
to do the chief part.
l have reviewed I'm Aunt Mahaly's
Cabin" partly to speak of this play
wright, Paul Green, a white man of
North Carolina, who has been for
some time writing of the Negro. His
play, THE No Count Boy" which
won first prize at the Belasco Little
Theatre tournament last year, is per-
haps his best piece of work. 1t de-
picts the dreamy, lovable country
boy, who longs to see something be-
yond his every day life, and who
finds kindred spirit in young col
ored girl he chances to meet. In
contrast to the two is an up-and-com-
ing prosperous young colored farm
er. The play was acted by the
Houston, Texas, players and no col
ored people could have performed it
with more sympathetic insight.
French also publishes this play,
though not in a volume by itself. A
third play is THE Man who Died at
Four O'clock" a bright bit of COM
edy, also in one of French's volumes.

THE URBAN LEAGUE DRIVE

During the past week. local branch of the National Urban
league has been undertaking membership drive with the aim of
increasing its colored subscribers to $50.
In the light of the fact that the Urban league responsible
large for the webeng of St. Paul residents and
indirectly responsible for the prospective industrial bettement of
the whole group the quota set seems very low.
Carrying does, diplomatic for the opening of
industry to the Negro worker acting incidentally of

say to him that I do not think that the disforestation of our country has really had anything to do with the disappearance of the wood pigeon, be- cause for all practical purposes a large portion of the United States is just as densely wooded today as it ever was. Take, for instance, the re- zion in Southern Virginia, of which l have been speaking, where those flights of pigeons were so frequently brought to my attention. That region is just about as abundantly afforested today as 1t ever was. The oak is just about as common a tree there as it ever was. The yield of acorns is just about as profuse there as it ever was, and yet the passenger pigeon is clean gone therefrom.
 Of course, mboundt admit that the wild pigeon must have suceumbed not so much to human agencies of de- struction as to some sort of epidemic disease. It does not seem to me that human influence alone could have worked it's destruction so speedily. But l know that the Senator from Montana must have had called to his attention, too, in his boyhood the countless numbers of wild pigeons that then existed Turning, for in- stance, to Audubon and his descrip- tion of the wild pigeon and its habits, it will be found that not only did wild pigeons at time darken the very face of the sky with their hosts and break down the very branches of the forests with their weight, but that in their wake followed great fiocks of preda- tory birds and all sorts of wild car niyorous things of the woods.
 As some Senators know, the Chesa peake bay has always been one of the peculiar homes of aquatic birds in this country Possibly in some of the western regions of the United States wild fowl may have been or may be more abundant than in it's waters. But a few years ago it looked as if the wild fowl on the on the Chesapeake bay would all soon perish. All along the reaches of that wonderful bay there were shooting lodges, or "shores," as they were called, and it was no uncommon thing for very large bags of geese and ducks of. al- most every species to be bagged at them in the course of a day. Then came the time when, as have said, it looked as if the wild fowl of the Chesapeake bay were about to be to- tally destroyed. Just think what thas would have meant not only to the manly spirit of the sportsman but to the luxurious side of the food supply of our great cities. But along came this migratory-bird treaty law, and, indeed, if some other members of the Senate had had the same opportunity that I have had to know it's effects they simply would be astonished at it's stimulating and salutary results. Wild fcwl have come back to our waters. During the last few years it may almost be said that ducks and geese and brant and swans have been almost as abundant on the waters of
