Three Days Of Grace
P1eases Large Audience

An enthusiastic audience was not
disappointed Friday evening at the
Junior High auditorium when local
talent gave an unusually good per-
Torrance of Three Days of Grace"
The play, directed by Miss Mar
garet Hellweg, was of humorous
nature and although the spectators
didn't find misunderstanding in the
aisle there was considerable litter
ing and guffawing through the en-
tire evening
Naturally the one thing that made
the affair unusually interesting was
the fact that audience and actors
were acquainted and folks are al
ways interested in seeing neigh
Dor exhibit his talent.
The three acts revolved around
Grace Darling, the country cousin,
who, in reality, was muscular sort
of a hay-hand but was putting on
her best feminine airs to attract
big, handsome William Thorwald.
The story involved the entire cast
in a competitive battle for the at
tentions of one person and then an
other until old Ma HaWson took a
hand and quieted down the whole
dang bunch by flourishing her hill
billy saWed-off shot gun.
All in all the play was very good.
The actors, in general, knew their
lines very well and all voices car
ried to the rear of the auditorium
with great ease. Scenery and prop
critics under the capable manage
ment of Mrs. Albert Hart and Miss
Mildred Buck were excellent
The cast was as follows.

The fact that the Negro
Democrats are having a, Jack
son Day dinner is indeed signi-
ficant, for it will be recalled
that Andrew Jackson was the
father of the American spoils
system. Old Hickory was a
common man, in fact, he was the
most common man who has ever
bean president. He drank his
liquor straight and history
tells that sometimes he drank
a little too much, he fought his
due!s when the occasion arose,
he chewed his tobacco and was
not particular whether the
juice went into the cuspidor to-
ward which he spat or not. He
, was dOmineering, restless, and
lived by constant excitement.
When Andy became president
he moved the common people in
to the capitol to take the jobs
which the aristocrats had held
from the beginning of the 60
vernment. He cleaned house and
| put his friends and supporters
in the saddle. incidentally, VIC
might mentions the fact that
Andy held many slaves and UNI
like Jefferson was not believer
in emancipation.
Now, today again the cry
i that the common man ha
won victory and deserves the
sroiIs. Kick the ms out and pu
us in is the loud cry going Ip
from original Nicely men. La
Dor won the victory and labor
will get the jobs seems to be
the opirion of many leaders
who are on the inside. So we are
guessing that this Jackson Day
dinner will reach its climax
when the slate of new officials
is pulled from the pockets of
the county Negro Chairman and
read to the assembled party.
