P[AYMAKERS HAVE
!. GREAT RECEPTION
Carolina Folk Plays Please
Big Audience; Women
Bring Them Here

For the first time in years Hen
derson audience Friday night had the
opportunity and pleasure of sitting in
on a program of three one-act plays
given by the Carolina Playmakers or
ganization, and the 500 or so in at
tendance were more than pleased.
The Playmakers came here as one
of the attractions in the series of
monthly features offered by the Lee
ture Club, an organization composed
of members of the Students Club and
the Alma Club, two of the leading
womens literary groups of the city.
Henderson was given an engagement
on the thirty-fourth tour as part of
the nineteenth season of the organi-
cation.
The three one-act plays given were
"Quare Medicine" by Paul Green,
North Cardinals most famous play
wright being a country comedy OF a
quack doctor; New Niger" by Fred
Howard, a tragedy of the tobacco
country, and Tooth or Shave" by
Josephine Niggli, of Monterey, Mexico
it being a Mexican folk comedy
The first two were depicting scenes
and conditions with which an au-
dience in this part of the country is
more or less familiar, but the third
was intensely interesting also for its
portrayal of Mexican life.
During one intermission Prof.
friedrich Fl. Koch, founder and direc-
tor of the Carolina Playmakers, spoke
briefly on the work of the Playmak-
ers. The group started with an humble
beginning nearly two decades ago and
has won a reputation throughout the
country not only for the high quality
of their stage work but also the type
of plays presented. Most of the plots
are products of Playmaker students,
and most of them come out of their
own experiences or observations. In
other words, the plays presented are
virtually all original. Because of that,
there is a flavor of intense freshness
and newness to them. They are of
great interest, too, to North Carolina
audiences by reason of the fact that
the plots are taken from the folk lore
Of this State, written by North Caro-
lima students in the University, or at
least in many instances that is true,
and not few include the richness of
the quaint character of the old-time
Southern Negro. That was true of
New Niger one of the trio of
plays given here Friday night.
Coming of the Playmakers here
served to increase the interest of
those people locally who are dramati-
cally inclined in this type of work
The hand and genius of DR.. Koch was
everywhere evident. The audience
welcomed him here with his organ1za-
ton. He sat obviously in the far
corner of the high school auditorium,
where the plays were given, to get the
full effect of the performances and
