POLL CAST SCORES
IN jungle DRAMA
white Cargo Ably Presented
at Palace Theater in Hartford
(By Herald Reviewer)


The Poll Players gave everything
they had last night when White
Cargo" opened for weeks run at
the Palace theater. Hartford. Force
full acting, unique stage settings and
powerful drama of the African
West Coast make this one Of the best
plays of the season by the company.
1t is a tragedy of a terrific sun
which beats down the resistance OF
man in a country sodden with fever.
a sun which eats into mans soul.
cracks his brain and degrades him
to Nanny Pallaver." Such is the
sun which shines numerically upon
the only four white men In 400
miles of African West Coast and re-
duces them to snarling beasts, fight
ing an unsuccessful battle with the
odds of the jungle.
Vincent Coleman as Allen Lang
ford who comes out" gives play
goers a new angle on his ability. He
is confident on conquering the coun-
try to which he chose to come. Yet
as others before him he is reduced
to a sovenly life with a native wom-
an until he too cracks and goes
out" as white Cargo" He sur
prised his audience by warming up
in his love making scenes and gave
an exhibition of real cave man stuff.
Marion Grant as Todeleyo, the ma
tive woman, who desired and en-
shared Langford while the latter was
suffering from sex starvation" was
splendid in her role. Miss Grant may
be hailed as an actress of rare ablll-
ty as last nights production proved.
Walter Scott Weeks as Harry
Witzel, "who stays" Numbered him
self hoarse in a part that knew no
restraint in action or words. His
forceful acting brought long ap-
pIause at the end of one scene which
he thoroughly earned.
Edmund Abbey. as doctor, con-
tinues to give his usual fine acting.
Once successful physician, a
blunder sentenced him to 20 years in
that hole in the jungle with no liber-
ty in sight He lives a life of wait
ing for the mail boat which comes
|
every three months. He has taken
this part and lives it so thoroughly
throughout the play that the theater
! fades away and the audience is
transplanted to the bungalow in
Africa, thinking as the doctor thinks
doing as the doctor does. while the
dry rot crumbles and eats out the
very timbers and furnishings around
him.
/ Bernard Steele as Fred Ashly, the
man who is going back. gives bit
of realistic acting as does Harry j.
Fischer. the missionary. Others in
the cast were John Burns. a skip
per: Jay Ray. an engineer: Robert
Perry as Worthing, and Dwight Ly-
man as Jim Fish. a native.
I Next week the Poll Players will
present THE Ghost Train" a come
dy melodrama in three acts.

men in favor of Egyptians.

were trying to convert the Egyptian
army into a political weapon at the
ulsposal OF one political party.
Great Britain, he declared, would
not permit the full play of subver-
sive Influences which would compli-
cate her vital interests and obli-
cations in Egypt. notably the de-
Tense Of the Suez canal. She was
ready, however, TO open negotiations
for settlement of the problem.
Sir Lee Stack, predecessor of the
present Sirdar, was assassinated in
Cairo in November. 1924 the crime
coming as the elimination OF pro-
nounced agitation in extreme ma

of the British from Egypt and the
