NO SHADOW TO
PUT GROUNDING
OUT OF HUMOR
Don't Trust WoodChuCk Too
Far, Weather Bureau
Aids Caution.

The grounding made his 1882 de-
but today under overcast skies, sup
ported by hopes of Indianapolis
that his coming out party will be
significant.
According to tradition, if the an
imaIs whiskers are touched by sun
light, and he takes a look at his
shadow, he'll return to his winter
home for another six weeks, and for
that period cold weather will pre-
vail.
But If there is neither sun nor
shadow, he stretches and makes
himself at home IN the wide open
spaces, thereby assuring early ar
rival of spring.
Today, apparently the grounding
is strolling. The chances of any
sun breaking through the clouds be-
fore nightfall was as remote as the
sudden return of prosperity.
While Indianapolis and the world
paid hostage to the grounding, there
was group in Indianapolis that
thought nothing Of the days event
as far as weather concerned.
The personnel of the group is
made up of ]. H. Arlington and his
staff of aids at the local branch of
the United States weather bureau.
Their business is to forecast the
weather and the groundhog's visit
meant naught to them. Although
they have devoted years to study OF
the weather, they won't predict more
than thirty-six hours ahead, let
alone six weeks.
They also cast aside the race

out of his system, Pollard snapped
into the fun and gave a corking
good performance. This man is
showing more Showmanship and
ability each week. And he carries
the farce tempo through at the
right place during the entire &C
ton of the play. The regular cast
is increased by eight dancing girls,
who sing and dance in a rather
pleasing manner. There is also a
saxophone quartet, which rather
slows up the action. In the second
act, Pollard and the girls score with
Jessie James"
The role of Jessie Jameson is not
the best for Margery Williams. She
has to act wise and cute. That's
all.
Others in the cast are Virginia
Stevens, Beatrice Leiblee, Janice
Sherley, Philip Brandon, Bob Fay,
William Maloney, James Leroy and
Milton Byron.

At night, massage the throat and

with some Of the men smoking a
good 10-cent cigar.
There are several tremendous &C
complishments in 1.-THE Green Pas
lures" but the outstanding one is
the Lawd of Richard B. Harrison,
66-year-old player. Here is more
than acting. Here is more than a
Characterization but a tremendous
and overwhelming power.
In all of my years of play going
never have 1 seen such a gigan-
tic accomplishment as Harrison
achieves in this play. One does not
laugh at his "the Lawd," but you
study this man who orders Gabriel
(strongly and dumbly played by
Samuel Davis to order the Lawd's
thunderbolts to be put away, be-
cause they we're not effective in
frightening mortals on earth. And
Cab replies to the Lawd-"OK."
Harrison is the light and the
power that makes this play the
marvellous study o. a living con-
ception of the Lawd and characters
in the Old Testament. Here is one
of the grandest achievements upon
the American stage because the
artistry and sincerity of Harrison
never offends.
I actually felt the soul sickness
of the Lawd as played by Harrison
when he reckoned that he had done
bumb job making earth and man.
I felt that even the Lawd was a
little at sea when he ordered good
old preacher Noah $50 beautifully
and effectively played by Tut
Whitney, to build an ark and take
his good wife with him along with
the animals.
A scene of irony is when Noah
argues with the Lawd that he
should be allowed to put two large
kegs of whisky on the ark. Noah
is just naturally afraid of snakes
and he argues that two kegs we're
necessary but the Lawd is the law.
Before 1 forget it, want to call
attention to the work of George
Randol as Pharaoh; the Moses of
Alonzo Henderson and the Hezdrel
of Daniel L. Hayns, tremendous in
his scene with the Lawd as he is
defending the temple.
To get the right picture of the
method of presentation one must
know certain facts. A treadmill
makes possible some startling eff
fects, especially when the Lawd
starts his journey on foot to see how
man is getting along and more SO
when Moses leads his people out of
Egypt.
Then there is the heavenly choir,
directed by Hall Johnson and
Ulysses Chambre, which is on the
stage part of the time and then
singing those marvellous old and
new Negro spirituals in the orches-
ira pit. No orchestra is used nor
is one needed. Here is singing that
gives great atmospheric back
ground to this play. 1t requires two
acts and eighteen scenes to present
"The Green Pastures" and cast of
more than a hundred.
Here is the outstanding achieve
ment of the dramatic stage in the
last twenty years.

"RANK PORTILLO. at the age Of

with a boyhood ambition ths:
first circus.
Portillo carried water for the ele-

home TO learn trade.
He became an apprentice. then a
printer and now, as for the past eight
years, gets in steady time at the Gov
ernmsnt Printing Office, although the
pull of the circus is strong as ever.
But Portiilo felt the life of a trouper
was too preca!ious for a married man
with a sense of responsibility, so he re-
manned a printer by trade and became
a circus clown by hobby and inclination.
