Dallas Has Negro
Little Theater

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 24.-P-The
first negro Little Theater in the
United States, recently organized
here. soon will present three one-aet
plays under direction Of Louis j.
Hexter, pioneer Of the Dallas Little
Theater movement. Rehearsals have
been underway for three weeks on
Eugene O'Neill's The Dreamy Kid
That there is inherent in the negro
race enough of artistry to build a
negro theater is Hexter's belief.
Many Of the players are college and
high school graduates.
1.-THE negro has a richer voice than
most white people" Hexter said.
1T is capable Of intonations, depths
and range beyond the scope of the
Anglo-SaXon. Moreover. the negro
has an instructive h%istrionic ability
and a natural tendency toward pan
tomine.'

Art Nourished BY Nature

now understand why the Greeks
were such great poets; and above
all, can account, it seems to me,
for the harmony, the unity, the
perfection, the uniform excellence
of all their works of art. They
lived In perpetual commerce
with external nature, and nourished
themselves upon the spirit Of it's
forms. Their theaters were all
open to the mountains or the sky.
Their columns, the ideal type of a
sacred forest, with its roof Of inter-
woven tracery, admitted the light
and wind. The odor and the fresh
ness Of the country penetrated the
cities. Their temples were mostly
unparthaic; and the flying clouds,
the stars and the deep sky were
seen above-Shelley, in letter to
Peacock.

The Thinker

Beware when the great God lets
loose q thinker on this planet.
Then all things are at risk. 1t is as
when a conflagration has broken
out in a great city, and no man
knows what is safe or where Ii will
end. There is not piece of SCI
ence but its flank may be turned to-
morrow; there is not any literary
reputation, not the so-called eternal
names of fame, that may not be re-
vised and condemned. The very
hopes Of man, the thought Of his
heart, the religion of nations. the
manner and morals of mankind, are
all at the mercy Of a new generali-
zation.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

TWO STATE ORGANIZATIONS
PLAN WASHINGTON WEEK

Following plans for a five year
campaign under the title of Awak-
enlng of Washington, the Washing
ton Press Association and Wash
lngton State Chamber of Commerce
will observe the week of George
Washingbon's birthday, February
POPS, 1929. Fellowship" will be
used as the keynote
Believing that fellowship is es-
sential to accomplishment this was
chosen to head the work to be
done, for after all little can be
done until the people of the state
learn to know each other more in
tinately; solve the problems of a
particular section; develop a spirit
of understanding that sectionalism
may be wiped out and all the peo-
pie enter a friendly relationship
to make the state all it deserves.
Once fellowship has been estab-
lished, other plans bordering on
the same idea will be developed
that may still further advance the
cause Of the commonwealth for the
good of all rather than each sec
ton. No group can possibly ever
hope to outgrow the state, but as
the state grows each unit will
prosper according to participation.
During this, the third annual
Washington Week, all organiza-
tions will join a movement to elm
mate factions. Commercial and
service organizations, clubs, SO
cieties, schools, railroads, manu-
facturers and individuals will aid
in this program. The first two OBJ
servances were highly satisfactory
and as the time approaches for the
third Awakening the interest is
more pronounced.

Long-Buried Treasure
Still Lures Seekers

Pacicma canyon, in the noun
tains east of San Fernando mission
in California, contains, according
to tradition, a great chest Of gold
beaten into the form of plates and
platters for altar and dining serv-
ice. Some estimates place the
value of the treasure at $1,00O,0OO.
Pacioma canyon is wild and rugged
but men have time and again tried
to find the treasure. Aided by q
map on tanned sheepskin.
sketcbed with a hot metal point by
a San Fernando padre himself, the
seekers have been unable to find
the chest. If tradition is true his
tory, the chest contains the largest
assortment of gold plates and plat
tiers ever beaten into form by In
dian smiths of any of the missions
in the CALIFORNIA;, either below or
above the Mexican boundary line.
Rojerio Rocha, gold and silver
smith at the San Fernando mission,
not only helped beat the plates and
platters, but he was one OF the
trusted party that hid the golden
utensils when word came that
United States soldiers were march
ing down the San Fernando valley.
A few weeks before Bocha died he
took from his old wooden chest q
piece OF tanned sheepskin, bear
ing traces of a hot metal point, and
told one Of his Indian friends 1t
was a man showing the location OF
the buried gold. However, Ell
forts to follow the map to the chest
Of gold have been futile.-Lannes
