there is not an instant that does not
hold ones attention.
Dudley Murphy, the director, and
DuBose Hayward, the author Of the
script, have attacked their respective
tasks without any idea of catering to
the box office. They realized the
power of the O'Neill drama and have
put forth a picture which retains the
strength of the stage production. The
telling of the story is just what one
might expect from such competent
and experienced persons. 1t is salts
flying and absorbing, and even the
beating of the drums, which one
might anticipate would be done some
what extravangantly, IS accomplished
with the same effectiveness it was
when the play first appeared in 1920
in Greenwich Village.
The interest of the drama is cent
cred, natural on Brutus Jones's act
ivities on the island where he chooses
to rule rel the blacks and be known
as Emperor Jones. The Introductory
passages, however, are not without
their stirring moments, particularly
the amorous episodes and those de-
picting the gradual transition in the
Negroes character. But when the
m on the island-to which Bru-
tus Jones swims after having made
his escape from the chain gang and
shipped as a stoker on a tramp
come to the screen, it is then that the
picture is most stirring.
Robson, who has the title role,
had a distinguished career and is con-
coded to be one of the most renowned
Negroes of this day. He was born in
Princeton OF April 9, 1898, the son of
William Robson, a minister, In 1915
he entered Rutgers College, being
the third Negro ever to attend that
institutio. When he was graduated in
1919 he had won his letters in foot
ball, basketball, track and baseball,
had qualified for two years as end on
Walter Camps All American football
team, had been elected to Caps and
Skulls as one Of the four most meri-
%torious seniors. and was a member of
Phi Beta Kappa, tn scholastic fra
ternity. Two years later he was gra-
duated from Columbia Law School
and obtained a position in a promin-
ent law firm, but was forced to with
draw because of ace prejudice. He
turned to the stage, serving his ap-
premiership with the Provincetown
Players. He first attracted general
notice in "Taboo," which later be-
came "Voodoo," with Mrs Pat
Campbell. The play was produced
here and toured Scotland and Eng
land for two years. Then came o.
Neill's Emperor Jones" and "All
Gods Chillun." In 1925 he gave a
concert at the Greenwich Village
Theatre and awoke to find himself
acclaimed as one of Americas lead
ing baritones. Mr.. Robson has pre-
ferred living in England, finding less
racial prejudice there. He has sung
before the King and Queen Of Eng
land, the Prince of Wales and the
Duke and Duchess of York, and has
been the guest Of Ramsay Mcdonald.

Does Not Spoil
Hounds Nose
By DIR. J. S. JOHNSON
M. r. H., the Antietdnl Hunt


Recognized fox hunting in
western Maryland is compare
lively new. The first hunt, the
Antietam, was established in 1925.
The country is ideal and no
difficulty has been had obtaining
permission from landowners to
hunt over their property. Small
coverts abound, and while red
fox are not numerous, is have
been put down in the last three
years and they and their progeny
have done much to improve
sport.
The Antietam Hounds, is couple
in all, are mostly half-bred. The
original stock came from the
Elkridge Kennels, through the
kindness of Mr.. Howard Bruce,
Master Of Elkridge.
Hounds hunt drag on Wednes-
days and fox on Saturdays. holi-
days and bye days.
Our rag is unique and does
not spoil a hounds nose for fox.
A red dog fox is kept in con-
finement and on the day drag
is to be run a small piece of
jute sacking. on which the fox
has slept, is placed in a covered
tin pail and the kennel hunts
man is told what covert is to be
drawn. The huntsman leaves
the kennel about one hour before
hounds go out and on arriving at
the designated covert takes a
piece of the sacking and ties it
to a length Of sash cord having
lead weight at the end. This
he drags after him Stimulating as
near as possible the way a fox
would run.
The drag is lifted at intervals
SO the pace is not a modified
steeplechase usual to anise drags
and the end is at some point
where a fox could go to ground.
The huntsman has a plentiful
supply of high" beef for hounds
to worry so they are "blooded"
every run and are as keen as
though they had been following
the little red 'un.
Although the Antietam is listed
as a private hunt, the master is
always glad to have any true
sportsman who really likes hound
work on his star guests and can
usually mount three or four.
The kennels are at Stone Court,
one Of the oldest estates in Wash
ington county, having been built
in 1882 by Vandervost Lawrence
and carefully restored by it's pres
ent owners.

Hated Wire Fence

The farmers named bove, and
others, resisted the effects Of the
coming of the wire fence and the
passing of the riding horse as
long as possible but after their
deaths Riding to Hounds in Mont
gomery county became dormant
until its revival by the Riding
and Hunt Club in 1880.
For a number of years after
Chevy Chase ceased to be hunt
club, there was no organized
hunt in the immediate vicinity
Of Washington. However, as the
automobile began to change from
a means of pleasure to an article
of necessity, the interest in hunt
ing revived, and pack OF
hounds was acquired by the Rid
ing and Hunt Club of Washing
ton. Several years ago this pack
was maintained at e stables
Of the Riding and Hunt Club,
and was vanned out to hunt in
various sections north of Wash
ington.
The suburban developments in
the vicinity of Washington began
to cramp the hunting at the
same time that interest in hunt
ing in washington began to eX-
pand. AS the result. the Riding
and Hunt Club a few years ago
established its kennels at the Ma
tional Capital Horse Show grounds
near the village of Potomac in
the western part of Montgomery
county. This move having proven
successful, application was made
in 1881 to the Masters of Fox
hounds Association for the exclu-
sive rights to hunt the territory
lying between Rockville and the
Potomac River and this territory
was duly recorded in the name
Of the Riding and Hunt Club of
Washington. This is exactly SIM
liar to the expansion of the
Green Spring Valley Hunt, whose
clubhouse is now country club
with the kennels and stables To-
Gated about 10 miles further out.
The development Of a hunting
country takes considerable time
and must necessarily progress
slowly, particularly during these
times of distress. However, due
to the enthusiasm of few ar
dent sportsmen, and by dint of
careful management, the Riding
and Hunt Club is firmly estab-
lisiled as fixture in Montg omery
county with about % square
miles of we'll panelled country
and an abundance of foxes.
Realizing the part that fox
hunting played in the develop
ment of Northern Virginia, the
Maryland legislature only last
year passed another law for the
protection of foxes. making it
illegal to trap them at any time.
incidentally, trappers are the
greatest nuisance the fox hunters
have to contend with, but for
tunately they are few.
The Washington times., 1933-09-20
Red Fox Gave More
Thrills, DR.. PAGE Said

DR.. Thomas Nelson Page, in
one OF his sketches of Virginia
life, compared the gray fox with
the red. He said the gray fur
nished more fun, the red more
excitement. The grays, he said,
did not run so far, but usually
kept nearer home, going in a cir
cult Of six or eight miles, while
a red might lead hounds all day
and end by losing them as night
fell after taking them a dead
stretch for 80 miles.

The Crandest Sport, p"
ohn Carroll Said

John Carroll, Of Carrollton,
once remarked to General Light
horse Harry" Lee that "fox hunt
ing is the grandest sport ever
invented, taken part in by man
or ctioned by an all-wise
Providence" Lee responded that
such was true but that "it is
hell if your nag is slow and your
hounds poor" To which Carroll
came back:

During the Stevenson regime two
