When in 1922 I was finally mus
tered out of the Army, I was at
a loose end until 1 found myself
working in the Birmingham Roper
tory Company.
After l had played a variety
of parts there for two seasons, 1t
was decided a company should De
sent on tour to carry the theater S
work to other centers and volun-
teered to go with it. The director,
H. K. Ayliff, refused to permit TINS.
That was the luckiest thing that
happened to me. For my third
season at Birmingham was the
turning point of my career. 1t IS
curious to reflect that had I gone
on the tour I should have missed
all the great chances that came
my way that third season with the
home company.
For the first thing did that
third season was to play in Eden
Phillpotts' play, The Farmers
Wife" My part, character job
in which few actors could possibly
fail, was that of Churdles Ash, a
sharp-tongued old misogynist farm
laborer.
Churdles was to prove very
good friend to me-in fact the
best theatrical friend l ever had.
we played it in Birmingham only
two weeks, but then later we took
it to London, where it was sort
of Tobacco Road and ran on
and on for 1900 performances.
One of the biggest highlights OF
my last season in Birmingham was
our production of Shaw's Back
to Methuselah, the first one that
had been given in England. 1t
was an enormous undertakings
cycle requiring five evenings to
perform.

MYTH Exploded

demonstrate how a part should

Shaw is meticulous author,
coming to every rehearsal with a
notebook in which he writes out
the most observing comments to
give the players later. His let
tiers are marvellous, too.
After the opening of 1.-THE Ap-

but devastating missive from him,
starting out: "You have had such
a splendid press that I must

Freddie EGmonds to HurI
for the Resort Team;
Wants Revenge

Across the RIVER tine TeXaco Beach
ball players are getting set to give
the Elizabeth City Jays a few
shocks when they meet again on
the resort diamond at 800 o'clock
Sunday. the fou.th of July. The
fourth is noted for its bangs and
excitement and there will be
plenty of excitement and noise in
Camden County Sunday when
these two North Carolina mines
go into action.
The Pirates cut the throatS of
a scrapping team from Bay View
last Sunday to the tune of 5 to
l. While the Camden lads were
putting their baseball talent to
work last week, the city nine rar-
ed back in their easy chairs, TAX
ing a vacation from the loved
game. The Pirates have been
playing each Sunday now for
about two months and have won
way over half of these engage
mentS. Their rivals from Elizabeth
City have played only three con-
tests since the current season got
underway. The fans that cry fer
the TeXaco Beach gang figure
that their team VII be set to take
Captain Pratt Fearing'S diamond
men on the fourth. because of
more experience and more play
during this season.
The Jaybirds followers come
back at the BeacherS with the re-
suits of the three games series
that was played between the two
tcanS-Elizabeth City winning
two out of the three. Right back
without minute pause, the
Camden fans yell that that was
only little slice of luck that
happened along for the Jays and
that the Beach ball club is ready
to beat old man luck with the
Jays thrown in Sunday.
In spite of what the fans and
managers and players predict for
the fourth meeting of these two
teams it is going to be a cracker
jack of a bail game and it isn't
gong to be a easy one to win for
either club.
Here are a few facts that are
not talk or hear-say:
Curtis OWnley has gotten his
hitting eye back after a long per-
iod of swing and hope. Ownley
was held to one lone hit in the
first game between the Jays and
Pirates, in the second game he
didn't secure a single base knock
and in the third he was marked
up with one crack only. From
these figures it looked as if Own
ley has fallen from his swatting
thrown that he held While a STU
dent at Central High school. The
change in Curtis hitting came
last Sunday when the Pirates
were playing the Bay View nine
OWnley hit a triple and a single!
So again it looks like the old dia-
mond star is at It with a new and
better swing. One more thing in
favor of the Pirates, Edmonds
seemed to be back in good hurting
form last week end. Bernice For
bes was reported sweeping the
outfield like big leaguer. On
lockers think that on a whole the
Camden team showed real base
ball stuff last Sunday. Can they
produce that same lot of goods
Sunday against their dreaded OPP
ponents?
