DRAMA IS BASED ON
FAMED PIRATE KING
Fredric March Takes the
Role of Jean Lafitte
At Maryland

A crucial but little-known chap
ter of American history IS brought
to life by Cecil B. DeMille in The
Buccaneer. opening next Thurs
day at the Maryland Theatre. 1t
is the story of famous pirate
king who was so notorious that
the government put price on his
head, but who became one of the
nations outstanding heroes when
he came to Americas rescue in
her darkest hour and helped
Jackson turn the British away
from the gates of New Orleans.
Frederic March is seen in the
role of the pirate chief, Jean La
fitte, one of the most colorful
characters who ever walked acros
the pages of American history.
Lafitte was born in Bordeaux,
France, at some unknown date be-
fore the French Revolution. His
birthday has never been estab-
lished, although the late Huey
Long of Louisiana declared one
for him and made it state holi-
day.
After serving for a time in Ma
poleon's armies, Lafitte moved to
the new world to try his fortune.
Gathering about him a band of fe-
rocious outlaws from every cor
ner of the world, he set up pir-
ate kingdom on the shores of the
Gulf of Mexico not far from the
thriving city of New Orleans.
From his port of 'Barataria' he
carried on piracy in a gentleman
ly manner, preying mostly upon
Spanish vessels and establishing
a set rule that American ships
go unmolested at all times.
Although the customs officials
of the United States, irked by the
superior bargains he offered New
Orleans shoppers, put a price on
his head, Lafitte, as can be so
clearly seen in ''The Buccaneer"
always maintained deep affec-
ton for this, his adopted country.
In the closing year of the war
of 1872, the prospects of the Unit
ed States in its struggle with
England looked black as pitch.
Washington was burned, Napol-
con defeated. New England about
to withdraw from the Union. Al.
though the British made Lafitte
an attractive offer for his services
the pirate, obeying his loyaIties.
went to General Jackson and
placed himself and his resources
at the disposal of the American
Army. He helped Jackson win
the great Battle of New Orleans
and thus remove forever the
spectre of a British capture of the
American West

conversation between the census TAX

Her name proved to be Mary Anne

girls.
The second part was skit: What
To Do When You Get Your Dates
Mixed. The Belle was Ruth Baker.
The Beaux were Mack Forest, Bill
Cameron, Charles Strickland, and
Arthur Baggett. The Maid was
Verne Nelson. The reason that I men

skit was judged the best of all. One
beau had called, bringing bouquet
If flowers, when another knocked at
the door. The first one was deity
converted into a solid mahogany
table with a silk spread. The second
beau entered with a box of candy.
In a moment there was another
knock at the door. The second beau
was quickly turned into a beautiful
oak hall rack with an overcoat hang
ing upon it.
When the next knock was heard,
the third beau was magically chang
ed into a most comfortable-looking
easy chair. When the fourth beau
entered, he was invited to sit in the
chair, which tumbled, knocking over
the hat rack, which overturned the
table.
The judges were Mrs. Maurice Par
