Three: Paul Green's Lonesome Roa,

Three: Paul Green's Lonesome Road"
Paul Green, professor Of philosophy
Of North Carolina University, has es-
sayed to depict, through a stage We
hicle entitled Lonesome Road" the
Negro and his relations to the domi-
nant white population. As one of the
playwright professors critics says:
He has tried to make US see more
clearly the inner tragedy of the black
race, of the Negro who dreams and
aspires and never attains, as he treads
his lonely way from birth to death on
a road which he can share with no
other man." It is said, further, by R.
Dana Skinner (white) that the Lone
some Road" plays show the double
edge fate which seems to strike all
those Negroes Of the South who try
seriously to elevate themselves above
their fellows, either through motives
Of personal advancement, or through a
more altruistic desire to be helpful to
their race.
Whether the Lonesome Road"
plays will ever reach New York, Chi
cago, Boston, or some other place
where the influences of the truths they
depict may be stimulating to public
sentiment, is question. One thing is
certain, however, and that is that Paul
Green's stage lore Of the Negro, as he
sees it in North Carolina, will never
reach the footlights of Atlanta, New
Orleans, Jacksonville, or any other
southern metropolis, because, as has
been said by unbiased critics, the plays
are based upon the truth-the truth
that they inhere rather in the condi-
tons of the South itself, where the
numerically inferior whites resent any
efforts Of the blacks to encroach on
their own fields of education and COM
merce.
Prof. Green has performed notable
service, however, if his plays are alb
sorbed and appreciated by one single
white man, woman, or child; for to
create a scintilla Of earnest thought Of
the mixed truths Of the relations Of
whites and blacks in the South is to
have performed Christian act and a
duty. White audiences, not black
ones, are what are needed to have
their consciences pricked; for since
the days of Uncle Toms Cabin"
there has been but little done on the
stage to have the South see itself as
the Negroes Of America see it. AS
Prof. Green infers, their road has been
a lonesome one, before and since the
sixties; and that there is a southern
white man who is willing to throw the
light of truth upon it is a reminder
that good Samaritans are found, now
and then, even in the land which can
but will not see.
