Du Bose Heyward's "Angel" is an
unconventional story of the Great
Smoky Mountains--of moonshipers
and revenue officers, illegitimacy, hell
fire preaching and revivals, convict
highway gangs, real estate booms.
and great deal of personal freedom
for the individual--unless he is
caught. Angel is the daughter of a re-
ligious fanatic in "old time religion -
and the beloved of a moonshiner of
the third generation in a family of
moonshiners. Naturally her life be-
comes one in which the dangerous
principle of conflict has a prominent
place. She is represented as a rebel,
yet she seems to yield to some one
at every crisis-to her lover Buck; to
her father, the Rev. Mr.. Thornley,, or
to her husband. Stan Galloway.
