Dario Shindell Stars in Race
Drama, Supported by an
Able Cast
(Rv Marjorie Brockman)


In a struggle for the supremacy
of Truth, the plot Of appearances,
played last evening at the auditor
Jun, was woven about the ancient
'bar sinister"
A spiritual note ran through the
play from the prolog to the final
scene. The colored youth, whose
creed was Truth, was the victim Of
a white mans hatred. Carl Sander
son, the colored bellhop, believed
that "a man can be what be believes
he can"
His ambition was to write play
to have the work of q colored man
produced. In the epilog, we learn
that the case and we, the audience,
have become real because he has
dreamed and produced US as real
characters.
The idea Of the play is new and
interesting. The "color line" has
been approached again and again,
but not always as gracefully handled
~ in Garland Anderson'a play.
Comedy in the play ran rampant,
and somewhat reduced the serious.
ness Of the piece.
The court scene was weak, but
was saved in its purpose Of protect
ing the colored boy from unjust i'm
prisonment.
Dario Shindell played Carl San
derson, the colored bellhop. He was
the young idealist, pathetic and ad-
mirable in his dreams and struggle.
Shindell is brilliant young actor
with a remarkable speaking voice.
In the supporting cast, splendid
work was done by Ben Legere as
Fred Kellard, a western miner. Mr..
Legere puts over the jovial spirit
and western sincerity of a Will
Rogers. Elizabeth Wilbur's acting
as Mrs. Thompson, whose husband
was proprietor Of the hotel where
two Of the scenes were laid, was
commendable.
Doe Doe Green was Rufus Jones
colored porter. His comedy was
the only genuine comedy in the
piece. 1t smacked of early vaude.
vile training, but his ability ir
emotional drama is equally as ap.
parent. Sam Hayes played the vii.
lain, Jack Wilson, and if he made
himself thoroughly hated by the
audience, he proved his point.
Ben Sager Dean, playing Judge
Thornton, did especially good work
in the court room scene. Lenore
Everett as Ella Buford, colored maid
and sweetheart of the bellhop, did
justice to the few dramatic mo.
ments in the play which were hers.
Norvell Thompson as Frank
Thompson, proprietor of the hotel
and Geraldine Palmer, playing the
judges daughter, offered generous
support. Stanley Rutland and
Harry Davis, witnesses in the court
scene, aroused more laughs than the
play needed.
Appearances" will be discussed.

2,943, 1893 TRUCKS
REPLACING HORSES
More Intensive Use Expected With
Construction Of Roads for
Heavy Vehicles.

Motor trucks are invading the last
stronghold of the horse. At the end
of 1927, 2.943,898 trucks were carting
goods In practically every nook and
corner of the United States, an increase
of slightly more than one-sixteenth over
1925, according to e. E. Duffy, highway
economic writer.
Gasoline trucks are today hauling
n per cent Of Chicago's products and
supplies, according to a study by an
Illinois truck association. Only a
decade ago Dobbin was doing about 80
per cent of Chicago's hauling business,
while the motor truck was piddling
along with measly per cent.
In 1904. when the phrase mass pro-
duction" had not yet been coined, motor
trucks first appeared In the registra-
tons OF automotive vehicles. Four hun
dred and ten Of them were sold that
year.
Motor trucking, despite It's rapid
growth, still may be considered In Its
infancy. for only 7 out of 100 trucks
