August 27 is the anniversary OF
a notable incident in connection
with dramatic censorship in the
United States.
All over the land this month local
groups are arranging dramatic per-
formances for Army selectees. In
many of the camps the selectees
themselves are being encouraged, to
give theatrical performances. Com
munity centers and cross roads the
aters are in many instances serving
as feeders for metropolitan perform
ances or for Hollywood. In every
instance these groups are free to
perform nightly without legal inter-
ference
Yet, on August 81 1865. the au-
thor and performers in Americas
first recorded dramatic perform
ance, Eye Bear and Ye Cubb," pre-
sented in Pungoteague, Accomack
County, Va, were arrested and
jailed for their connection with this
history-making event.
This performance 276 years ago
was given almost century before
the date once accepted as the be-
ginning of dramatic history in
America and more than a century
before the first theater was built
in historic Williamsburg. Numerous
historians have mentioned the play
and made various statements about
its author, the cast and the fate
of the author and of the actors.
All Records Restored.
The facts about Americas first
recorded Thespian performance are
available today in the newly restored
court records of Accomack County.
These records, with those at East
vile, in the adjoining county of
Northampton, are the oldest con-
tinuous courthouse records in the
Unuited States, those In Accomack
dating back to 1888 and those at
Eastville to 1882.
No clue is given to the plot of the
play, but its aftermath. clearly set
forth, is a drama in itself, as is the
record of the first effort at dramatic
censorship in the New World.
"Ye Bear and Ye Cubb' was writ
ten by William Darby, a landowner
in Accomack County, Va. With
Northampton County, Accomack
County comprises the narrow penin-
sula lying between the Chesapeake
Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, known
as the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Geographically it would undoubtedly
have been part of Maryland, if
the charter issued to the London
Co. had not stipulated that all the
land south of the south bank of the
Potomac River should belong to
Virginia.
The plays first performance was
given at Pungoteague, on the bay
side of Accomack County at 8
o'clock in the afternoon on August
q, 1865, this being the prevailing
hour in England for audiences to
assemble. This presentation was
out of doors on the spot which sub

Home for IncurabIes
To Open Fourth Glass
In Nurse Training
Practical Instruction
Will Be Offered
In Many Subjects

The Training School of Practical
Nursing at the Washington Home
for Incurables will open its fourth
class September Is, according to an
announcement yesterday The school
is located on Upton street, east Of
Wisconsin avenue NV.
With many registered nurses being
the Importance of such training
schools has increased, said Miss
Flora Treut, director. She pointed
out that a trained practical nurse
is prepared to handle many calls,
thereby releasing the fully trained
nurse for more technical work.
The school offers courses in prac-
tical nursing, cooking and dietetics,
bandaging, anatomy and physiology,
medical diseases, history of nursing
and nursing ethics. The student
also is given some knowledge of rou-
tine laboratory procedure and bac-
teriology.
The Washington Home for Incur
ables has about 185 patients, in
cluding children and men and wom-
en- of all ages, and the students are
given an opportunity for training
and experience in the treatment of
many different kinds of diseases.
In addition to maintenance, pu-
pills are given an allowance to cover
the cost Of uniforms, laundry, etc,
so that they earn while they learn"
Miss Treut said.
The director pointed out that the
school has not been able to fill all
the demands for its graduates, and
she anticipates the demand for
practical nurses will increase.

Anniversary of First Attempt

Old Records at Accomock County, Va,
Reveal Curious Incident ZIG Years Ago

sequently became the courtyard of
Coles Tavern, opened the following
year and only recently destroyed by
fire.
1t was presented by its author with
the help of Cornelius Watkinson, an
other Accomack landowner, and a
servant named Phillip Howard.
Among the spectators, the court
house records at Accomack show,
was a settler named Edward Martin,
who had hitherto furnished evidence
to the court concerning sundry other
high crimes and misdemeanors. AS
we scan these nearly 300-year -old
records of the long ago, the suspi-
cion comes to us that Martin was
the county's buSybody and general
Paul Prye. AS result of this Ed
ward Martins testimony and oath
to the kings attorney, that "Ye
Play of 'Ye Bear and Ye Cubb' 3"
was sinful and indecent" warrants
were served on the author and ac-
tors to appear before the next term
of court on November 16, 1865, when
the culprits were questioned and the
evidence against them examined.
The court. apparently in some
thing of a dilemma, took refuge in
postponement of the case until the
next session" with the provision
that the said actors" we're then ito
appear in costume and with the
lines and verses used on August 27,"
and give the court an opportunity
to judge for itself as to the sinful
ness and indecency of "Ye Play of
Ye Bear and Ye Cubb."
Vindicated in Court.
In the meantime the sheriff was
ordered to permit the actors, Will
kinson and Howard. to have bail
furnished them, but to hold we
body of Darby" for being the author
of the play. Today in the State
of Virginia the crime of murder
holds no greater legal restriction
of personal liberty.
One month later the author and
the original cast presented "Ye Play
of Ye Bear and Ye Cubb" in the
COuI tIlUuSc.
The records do not show whether
the author and his co-actors had
stage fright or presented their lines
we'll or poorly. Neither do they
specify the reaction of those who
f1ocked to the scene for the gratis
performance.
But we do know from their careful
and exact phraseology that the
applause of His Majesty's Court
came in the form of a prompt
acquittal. Nor does the story end
there. Not only we're the author
and the actors vindicated and the
first attempt at dramatic censorship
in the New World thus defeated.
but the justice of the crown was
also swift and disciplinary.
Said Martin" was ordered sum-
marily to pay all "ye costs of We
prosecution" and "a months board
for Darby" while he was in Jail. And
thus ended the first recorded at
tempt in America to restrain free
dom of expression in a dramatic
performance.

CHAPTER 81.


Lee Gray. That girl no one had
ever seen, or knew, or even heard
Of. The police, for all their un-
limited facilities. could find no trace
of her And yet she was in New
York; she must eat somewhere and
sleep somewhere. and somewhere in
these seven million people must be
those who were her friends.
She had slipped into the Colony
Theater two nights ago and left a
note for Carol Blanton, and at five
minutes before l o'clock today
she had entered a drugstore at
Madison avenue and Fifty-fourth
and telephoned to Greeley Morris.
How had she managed to elude
the nets thrown out for her by
the police and why, if, as they be-
lieved, she had known of Carols
danger and had even tried to warn
her Of it, hadn't she come forward
OF her own accord?
And the Lee Gray enigma was
only one Of many. Two short days
ago we had been, ostensibly at least,
a normal group of people working
together toward one objective, the
success of Green Apples. Then sud-
denly the once affable Philip Ashley
was quarreling with Eve North and
snarling at me when I ventured into
his dressing room. The once gay,
irresponsible Tommy Nelson now
scoWled and swore and drank too
much. Carol had lost her voice
and miraculously regained it. Alice
Mcdonald, almost madly ambitious
for success. ran away from it and
refused to tell why.
{ Another Guard.
If Carol had not been poisoned,
II Eve had not been killed. might
all these mysteries have passed un-
not1ced before our unsuspecting
eyes? Or could they be in some
inexplicabie way, as jeff seemed to
think, all links in this chain of mur-
der that was tightening around poor
Carol?

q tall hawk-nosed man stepped out
of the shadows at the end of the
corridor.

JEFF was amused. What were

They was sweatin' me about
