for 1t that they felt. The mere
physical toughness Of the dictator
President of the United States" is
obviously in for rough go with the
moral toughness which Calista in
herited from those earlier Rowleys.
Miss Calkins' play is divided into
three acts and seven scenes. 1t
never leaves the Rowley mansion,
but the historic old place is well
adopted to action. In addition to
the family quarters with their trick
wall panels leading to an under
ground passage once used for slave
running, the upper floors have been
converted into some kind OF school.
The school is tricked up with enough
radio equipment, sending and re-
ceiving, to upset a whole succession
OF despotic governments much less
the one for which the Rowley dinner
party is given.
It remains the weakness of state
Occasion" however, that it never
achieves compatibility between the
outward poise and inner violence OF
those who move across its elegant
scene. First the poise and then the
violence seems to be overdone, exag-
geration which Is not altogether
attributable to the writing. but
which surely begins there. The OUT
come of this, naturally, is that the
mood of the play and the mood OF
the audience are as far apart as
moods can get, as for instance, in a
body hiding scene which has some
of the effects of comedy when 1t
should be heart-breaking.
As a production problem. Estate
Occasion" is one of the most COM
plex that the university theater has
ever tackled. 1t has been handled
with imagination and technical skill,
though it has not been solved to the
point that the plays idea and its
stage were matched in dimensions.
The truly violent phases of the ac-
ton take place beyond the Rowley
walls, although the effects are piped
into the home via radio.
That is kind Of substitute, but
hardly good enough kind.
X
The Interpretation of -State oc-
casion'' is scarcely up to the stand
ard that the university theater has
established in the past. Director
Alan Schneider and many of his
players seem to be reaching for
something that either is not there or
is too elusive for them. The best
individual performances are those OF
Margaret Mary Edmonston as
Calista Rowley and John Easley as
the patriotic Rowley Butler.

numerous passages of highly listen
able speech cannot keep it from
running more to incredibility than
to suspense and excitement. Thus,
instead of being warning against

In inducing the apathy which it

For a play that offers as much
polished and poetic speech, and sol
little of action, ventures into q plot
that, is really quite intricate.
It's central figure is a spirited,
aristocratic spinster, Calista Rowley.
After two years of watching America
writhe under the tyranny of ruth,
less White House usurper, she de-
cides to give dinner party for the
upstart strong man. In so doing,
she is collaborating with an appar-
emily defaulting young patrician,

flnement of the Rowleys who fought

BISHOPS TO BURN $125,0o0

WHEREFORE, O., Mar. 12-
Bishops R. C. Ransom, of Wilber-
force, Ohio, J. A. Gregg of Kansas
City and D. H. Sims of Philadel-
phia, met in Columbus, Ohio, to ar
range to pay the balance of the
$125,OOO mortgage on Wilberforce
University. These three bishops
preside over the three Episcopal
districts of the A. M. E. Church
which support Wilberforce Univer-
sity and have considerably reduced
the mortgage. June 1, 1916, is the
date set for paying the mortgage
and the mortgage burning will be
during the University commence
ment, the second week in June. Bis
hop Ransom, chairman of the
board, said, "This mortgage has
been over twenty years the chief
headache of Wilberforce. We had to
pay eight percent and then seven
percent on $125,000 and in recent
years six percent interest. We have
already paid off more than $685.

and Bishop Sims and | will take the
matter to our churches and | have
every confidence that every penny
of the balance will be paid by June
1st as we plan." The mortgage was

MEMORIAL FUND

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Mar. IL
(ANP) - Postmaster Joseph F.
Gallaher approved the setting up of
welfare fund in the Philadelphia
post office to be known as the Will
lis D. Polk Memorial fund.
The fund, planned as a perman-
ent memorial to honor Maj. Willis

the postmaster with the assistance
of a board of directors selected by
the employees.
