IsIand''
At National
Saturday

The fascinating tale Of pirates
and buccaneers told by Robert
Louis Stevenson in his immortal
classic, Treasure Island" will be
played here at the National The
ater as an "after-event" of the
regular Children's Theater sea-
son, sponsored by the Women's
International League, Saturday
morning, May 26, at 1890, by the
Washington Community Players,
whose phenomenal success in
Alice in wonderland" is a mat
ter of local theatrical history.
Played by a group of the Cap
ital City's most experienced &C.
tors, the story is unraveled in
three acts and nine quickly mov-
ing scenes, opening in the famous
Admiral Benbow Inn in Black
Hill Cove, the rendezvous Of the
pirate crew that sailed with
Cap'n Flint" and found the fabu-
lous treasure trove, and setting
forth the vengeance wreaked
upon one Bill Bones for defraud-
ing the crew of their share Of
the gold.
The quay at Bristol with the
good ship Hispaniola starting off
on her cruise to Treasure Island,
the mutiny aboard the ship; Jim
Hawkins adventure alone near
Ben Gums cave on the island;
the fight in the stockade; the
discovery on Spy Glass Noun
tain and the Treasure Cave itself
are the high points in the story
as told in dramatic form by the
players of this beloved story.
Maud Howell Smith, local &C
tress par excellence, will play the
role Of Jim's mother, Mrs. Haw-
kins, and Jim" himself will be
played by 15-year-old Andrew
Dent, Washington's outstanding
boy-actor. Hilmer Baukhage, Ar
thur Bradley White, Kent Dyer,
George harrington and a score
of other players will appear in
leading piratical roles.

the while he shoves another
through a convenient door.
Despite what should be this
ideal background for one of Mr..
Lukas' finest performances, these
affairs are a bit lacking in
vivacity and luster. Love without
the usual formalities are the order
of the day until a sweet little
artist comes along. Then Fate
takes a hand just in time to save
her from her predecessors pit
falls and awakes her to real love.
The plan of the telling is a bit
out of the ordinary. Lukas is an
author, who takes on these af-
fairs that he may make them the
characters in his best sellers. A
last chapter is about to be written
and suicide or murder is the pre-.
scribed climax. Opening with the
death of the author. the picture
turns back to explain the reasons
for the unhappy ending.

The more see of life, the

me there is something wholesome
about a man who swings a pick,

manuel work. For one thing,
he earns his living for another
thing he is using the sinewe

given him for use and exercise.
The man toiling all day long
with his hands is not the man
who gets this nation into diff
culties. He is not the man who
plots against public welfare in
back offices of political bosses,
in directors rooms Of banks and
corporations and in hotel suites

national capital.
The man in overalls and jump
er may not have the peculiar
kind of genius that is required in
planning wide enterprises and in
directing extensive forces but he
has the kind of genius that gives
him the courage and the strength
to carry out enterprises that are
laid before him. The gap be-
tween the man who can plan and
the man who can carry out a

there should be no gap. There
should be cooperation and fell

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
ONE REASON THE POOR WILL BE WITH US
ALWAYS


While the grand jury and other forces that make
for law and order in the community are peeklns
beneath the lid of the underworld to see what
makes it click, the New York newspapers give US
a glimpse of the lottery racket there--a racket
that has sorey beset August for several years and
which has robbed the poor of the actual necessities
of life. a. ~ -
Just the other day the New York police raided
the headquarters Of lottery which they estimate
employed 5000 distributing agents and branches
and which had weekly turnover between $780,
600 and 81, 100000 Seven eight persons, IN
Guiding four women, were arrested.
"This is by no means the only lottery that has
been operating in the United States, comments
the Charleston Is. c. News and Courier. ''They
take the money of the poor. They get CONSIDER
able part of that which in the forty-elght states
the government distributes in relief The lrsn
SweepstakeS' and similar concerns sell thousands
of tickets and take millions on millions of dollars
out of this country. American gambling is not
confined to games of contract in the drawing rooms

ties it is highly probable that the poor spend much
more in gambling than do the weli-to-do and the
wealthy. Whatever their faults, the people who
have much money rather more careful IN mold
ing to it than are those whose earnings are small
EVERYWHERE South, East and West
there is being created strong public sentiment
apaipst lotteries that rob the unfortunates among
our ctizenry and against slot machines, which are
referred to by the mayor of New York as me
chanicaI thieves" that rob the unsuspecting and
the gullible and teach children to gamble.
Decent citizens everywhere are lining up in OPP
position to this type of promoters who live by their
wits and are devoid entirely of any compunctions
in their greed to amass wealth.
We are glad to note that the city court author'-
ties, along with the sheriff, police and other law
enforcement agencies, have decreed that slot ma
chimes and lotteries in this city and county will not
be tolerated in the future.
We agree with these authoritise that continu-
Gus and relentless campaign must be waged against
such rackets and that the Georgia legislature should
pass a law permitting the police and county au-
thorities to destroy devices used in promoting this
character of gambling.
A good beginning has been made and it remains
to he seen just how effective this campaign is TO
be- One might logically contend that it is impossi-
BILE to stamp out bootlegging altogether, but it is
conceded by the authorities and citizens alike that
the lottery and the slot machine raekets are vul-
nerable to the extent that they can be completely
eliminated.
If these rackets can be wiped out then Augusta
will have at least made definite step toward
choking off what many believe to be strong grip
of the underworld upon our communty-Augusta
