TORN DOWN

CLARENDON, Va, April l..
Arlington county's road closing
fight, which brought several dozen
indignant citizens to the court
house yesterday to protest directly
to the county commissioners, is
expected to end peacefully Thurs
day, when r. w. Gaines, the real
estate dealer who closed the road,
meets informally with members of
the board to discuss the problem.
Meanwhile, citizens scored a
point yesterday by having the bar

ed discussion in which the de-
velopers were scored by several
citizens, Commonwealth Attorney
Lawrence w. Douglas informed
County Manager Roy S. Braden
that it would be legally right to
remove the barriers. 1t took less
than 30 minutes to remove them
and patch the post holes in the
road.
The portion Of road involved

"GREEN PASTURES" NOW
AT THE METROPOLITAN
Screen Version Maintains as Fea-
ture, Fine Spirit of the
Original Fable.

IN ADAPTING to the screen Marc
Connellys THE Green Pastures" :"
which yesterday opened at the Metro
politan for a second week downtown.
the Warner Bros. film people have
turned the fable into a simple, rever-
ent and dignified photoplay.
Mr.. Connolly himself, on hand to
transform his Pulitzer prize winning
play into a screen drama, saw to it
that the celluloid version maintained
with integrity the spirit, the move
ment and the fact of his original
adulteration which would have turned
against the cinema version the hordes
to whom the play is memorable ex-
perience.
The Green Pastures" the mental
picture of the story of the Old Testa-
ment as seen in the imaginings and
childlike faith of the Negroes of the
South, is at times gay and alive with
good humor, at times solemn and full
of wisdom. Always 1t is reverent and
extremely human.
1t may lack some of the warmth
that human performers and footlights
gave it, and one or two of the items
Mr.. Connolly himself saw fit 10 add
for the cameras may not seem keyed
to the same feeling as the original but
the screen version of The Green Pas
lures is a highly effective cinema
entertainment.
There is, for instance, the very last
scene, where De Lawd, who has
been a God of wrath and vengeance.
becomes God Of love by diAcover-
ing mercy in the tragedy Of Calvary.
That is moment you Will remem-
Der. And it is the intelligent con-
trast Of scenes in that vein with those
of rich humor-for instance, Noah's
pleading for 1.-TWO kegs, Lawd; 40 days
and 40 nights is mighty long time
that makes The Green Pastures" the
enjoyable photoplay experience it is.
Rex Ingram is effective, intelligent
and completely respectful in his por-
trayal of De Lawd and the all
colored cast which supports him is to-
tally satisfactory. The Hall johnson
Choir contributes an excellent musi-
cal background. H. M.
