GABRIEL
OF Prize PLAY
LAID TO REST
Negro Actor Is Honored at
Funeral Services in
Harlem.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-The body
of the Angel Gabriel OF ''The Green
Pastures was to be consigned to-
day to Mt. Olivet cemetery.
Charles Wesley Hill, who as
Gabe in Marc Connelly's Pulitz-
er prize play endeared himself to
theater-goers. was honored Sunday
by more than 1000 persons at serv-
ices in a plain, little brown-stone
church in the heart of Harlem.
The eulogy was delivered by the
Lord God Jehovah Of the play, for
whom Gabe nightly rang the
clarion call Of "Gangway for de
Lawd! Gangway for de Lawdl"
Hill died Wednesday. He was
struck by a careening taxicab.
He stood there in the shadows
OF the elevated railway" said the
Rev. Jonn w. Robinson, and
neither to the right, nor to the
lett was there any gangway for
Gabriel"
Eulogized by Pastor
On the altar sat De Iawd. In
the person of Richard Harrison. In
the front pews we're Adam and Eve.
Moses, Abraham, Cain, Shem,
Ham, Japheth, Isaac, Pharaoh and
even the king of Babylon were there.
Gabe was friend to every man."
said Harrison in his eulogy, and
even if he did finger his golden
trumpet impatiently at times, he
never did blow blast on it."
Then spoke Daniel Haynes,
adam" of the play and Wesley
Hills closest friend. He traced
Hills career from the early days in
vaudeville, medicine shows and
MINISTRIES to his most recent sue
cesSeS.
"And now said Haynes, upon
the'further shore stands the voyager
at last. =" He bent forward
and looked into the simple, brown
casket. His voice throbbed as he
finished ''-good-by, old man, good
by! Gangwayl Gangway, for
GABRIEL"
Never Blew the Trumpet
Inc cry spread over the little
auditorium.
ooh Gabe! Oh Gabel Gangway
for Gabriel"
Long, dusky hands were raised
toward the heavens and bodies
Swayed as the cry was repeated in
full-throated lament. These Ne
groes were Wesley Hills friends.
They had come to regard him as
Gabe, as he himself tried to live
his part.
In the play Gabe says to the
Lord: rs de time come to blow it
yit?" and de Lawd" says: mot.
yet, Gabe, not yet"
Sometimes Gabe wondered, his
friends said, what would happen if
II was to blow on this trumpet by
accident" So wrapped up was he
in the character he portrayed.
Adam" called on the Hall
Johnson choir to sing Eve Heard .
Of a City Called Heaven and I'm 81
Striving to Make It My Own" IT
was Gabe's favorite song. While it
was sung mufled sobs could be
heard.

SPANISH REVOLT
MAY HINGE ON
EVENT OF 1875
Uprising's Origin May Go
Back to Bourbon
Restoration.
BY JOHN DEGANDT
United Press STAFF Correspondent

MADRID, Dec. 15.-The present
revolutionary strike movement in
Spain finds its origin in events of
many years ago. 1t may go back
as far as the restoration of the
house of Bourbon in 1875.
Other possible contributory events
we're the revolutionary strike of
1917, the parliamentary assembly in
Barcelona, and Prime de Rivera
coup d'etat in 1923.
All plots against the De Rivera
dictatorship failed. Most important
among these were: First, the So
called night of st. John plot of
June, 1926, involving monarchical
politicians and army officers, and
second, the Valencia movement of
January, 1880, prepared in Paris by
the former leader of the Mon
archical-Conservative party, Jose
Sanchez Guerra.
Collapsed at Last Minute
It collapsed because at the last
minute certain military units failed
to respond.
Another movement did not re-
ceive publicity because it did not
crystalline, but many politicians
now recognize it as most effective
in ending Primo De Riyera's regime.
Leaders were former president of
the chamber of deputies, Miguel
Vilanueva, liberal monarchical lead
er, aided by Melquiades Alvarez, and
former Minister of War Alcala
Zamora, who was arrested Sunday
in Madrid.
It was believed that the military
was represented by General Manuel
Coded, military governor of Cadiz
and former chief of staff in Moroe-
co, who was destined to become
undersecretary of war in the
Berenguer government.
Refused All Proposals
Coded refused all proposals to
IIldkS OllS IllOFC1llSIlO IStOlU0lOIldIy y,
but worked for the establishment
of constitutional governmen
through the converting of the con-
stitutional cortes, or parliament.
The Villanueva revolt movement
was featured by the activity of
Commander Ramon Franco, SPANS
most famous f1ier, who, accom-
panied by Artillery Captain Jose
ReXach, flew small plane to Cadiz
carrying an order from the revolu-
tionary committee.
At the same time King Alfonso
forced the resignation of Premier
Primo de Rivera and replaced him
with General Damaso Berenguer,
chief of his military household, and
the Villanueva movement then died
out.
The change of government found
all republican parties disorganized
due to the six years of prohibition
of meetings.
