Fate Repeats Cruel Attack of
Two Centuries Ago and
People of Evangeline and
Gabriel Once More Bid
Homes GOod-Bye - Refu-
gees Complain But Little
(BY BRUCE CATTON)

New Orleans, May 2-(NEA)-The
exile of the Acadians. has been re-
enacted. Fate has repeated its cruel
trick of two centuries ago. The peo-
pie Of Evangeline and Gabriel once
more have had to bid their homes
goodby and taken up the heart
breaking trail to the land of strang-
ers.
When q nightly charge of dyna-
mite ripped open the great levee be-
miles south Of New Orleans, and sent
the flooded Mississippi boiling and
swirling over the green fields and
Plaquemine parishes, the Acadians
were made homeless again.
For those two parishes were peo-
pied largely by French speaking de-
scendants Of the Nova Scotians whom
the British removed by force from
their northern homeland more than
200 years ago-the people about
whom Longfellow wrote his immortal
poem, "Evangeline.'
History has repeated itself.
But whereas the first migration
was caused by the wars Of British
against French, the second came as
result of the war of man against
mature. The levee was dynamited so
that New Orleans might be saved.
The Acadians were in the way. They
had to go-and leave toDthe dcstruc-
ton Of the flood the homes they and
their fathers had inhabited for many
generations.
Prior to the destruction Of the
levee the exodus Of the Acadians
went on. 1t was tragic sight; a
sight to be compared with the
frightened flight Of Frcnch peasants
in 1914 before the advance Of the
field gray armies Of Won Moltke.
The Modern Acadia
a' Five thousand people lived in this
modern Acadia. The two parishes
they occupied were well worthy of
the name, Acadia. Homes were
banked with bright flowers Of blue
and gold and crimson and creamy
white. such as Louisiana spring
brings forth in abundance. Their
fields were green with sprouting corn.
The orderly little gardens Of the
truck farmers were prolific with ear
" vegetables for the big cities to
the north. On the horizon was the
flat. sodded line Of the levee--the
great earthen wall that held hack
the Miasissippi and enabled the
Aeadians "a Hive in peace.

God, the Enemy
Paul Green's Revolts Against the Tyrant of the
Southern Farmer
Reviewed By HARBOR ALLEN


For one and half acts "The
Field God" by Paul Green, at the
Greenwich Village Theatre, is
beautiful and honest play. Then
softness creeps in, the same watery,
poetic mysticism that married 'Tn
Abraham's Bosom" by this young
Southerner. Paul Green seems un-
able to face his characters when they
hit the core of their tragedies. He
turns their eyes heavenward and
shoves few lyrics in their mouths.
Still, of the newer American play
wrights he's as good as the best;
and there are scenes in "The Field
God" which glow as nothing / have
seen this year in New York.
Fight God.
Sitting on his porch step in North
Carolina, Hardy Gilchrist and Neill
Sykes are waiting for the arrival of
Rhonda Campbell from Durham.
Hardy is a titan of a man, rugged.
fearless, afraid of neither God nor
man. His wife, Eta, weak, old, God
ridden, is lead around his neck. Eta
comes, young, alive, loving the soil,
strong like Hardy, like him scornful
of the "just" God who has created
the IDIOTS of the neighborhood, burned
the farmers crops, killed their cat
tie, ground them spiritless, feeble.
Idiots, drudges, burned-out farmers,
gossips, preachers, slaves; gallery
of characters worthy of Chekov or
a Dostoyevsky drift across the stage,
all sprung from the soil, speaking
an earthly language. Theirs is real
poetry. The glossy words Paul Green
pulls out of the mouths Of his leading
characters in the final scenes is fake
poetry.
Hardy, in love with Rhoda, frozen
by the withered piety of his wife,
sets out to fight the greedy God of
his fellowmen. Eta dies cursing
him. Neill goes bad and kills him
self. Hardy's hogs die of cholera.
His neighbors shun him. His barn is
burned by lightning. When he
marries Rhoda, new miseries rip at
him: puny baby, church folk who
call him murderer, who beg him to
save them from the boil weavel and
the cholera by "repenting." At last
Hardy is broken. He rushes out in
a storm to meet God face to face, to
learn which is the stronger man.
God wants revenge-blood for blood.
A Daring SOutherner.
While he is gone, the baby dies.
So that's the kind of God he is, afraid
of the strong, avenging himself on
the weak, the innocentl Hardy's
faith in himself is restored. He and
Rhoda will go on fighting this God
and whipping him.
To a radical this may seem old
stuff. But you mustn't belittle it's
