By BETTY RAMSAY

That enterprising and popular
organization, the Key West
Players, are opening their fall
season with an early fall pro-
duction on October goth, with a
presentation of THE Drunkard, :
oldtime melodrama with cheers
for the hero and Kisses for the viii
lain), and oleos (songs, skits and
dances between acts and scenes).
1t is highly amusing entertain
ment, this moral domestic
drama" and has been staged over
most of the country at various
times for the past hundred years.
1t had long runs in Hollywood,
Calf, New York City, Chicago.
and other metropolitan centers
as well as the leading commun-
tiles in all states. Its first pre-
'sentation, in the Boston Museum,
in 1874, was greeted with such
acclaim that its presentation was
demanded in the American Mu-
scum in New York in 1850.
Having as a background her
experiences as either director or
member of the cast of many
productions, Mazda (Mrs. Joseph)
Lazarovici with her talent directs.
the Players, while George Mills
White, well known, as both di-'
rector and actor of the Players
at various times, with his op-
cratic ability, is directing and
staging the "oleos' in which will
be included the old heart4rend-
ing songs, skits and acts of the
18th century (that Daddy Used
to Know. .
To revert to the serious, after
the sublimely ridiculous, a bust
mess meeting of the players was
held last Monday evening and
it was announced that the annual
election of officers would be held
on the first Monday in Novem-
Der with a nominating commit
tee appointed to prepare a slate
for consideration at the meeting.

and l knew l vas in for trouble,
SO I pulled my gun"
Before he could question the

the car. He then sat on the run

an ambulance arrived.

'HEXED" MAN HAS
LITTLE HOPE NOW
Once Husky Young Negro
Spurns Offers OF Help;
Waiting To Die

LOUISBURG, March II. -U,H-
ALI sorts of folks were promising
to cure Stephen Richardson today
but the once-husky young Negro,
now thin and wasted because OF 3
witch doctors hex" didn't be-
lieve they could help.
Richardson lay in bed, nervous
and belching, when reporters told
him Marsh Rabbit, a New York
magician, had offered to cure him
free of charge.
He said people had tried it be-
fore and they hadn't been able to
help. He was going to die, he said.
And he didn't seem to car
The 24~-year-old Negro said he
got the hex IL months ago from
Adam Aston, a 70-year-old Negro
witch doctor.
Aston died last month in a blast
of birdshot. Willie Mitchell, a
, Negro farmer who feared Richard
sons fate, is charged with killing
Aston with a shotgun because the
voodoo doctor put roots and bones
IN the Mitchell mailbox.
Richardson said that's part OF
the trouble.
Took His Money
He told reporteds he went to a
white witchdoctor, who promised to
cure him. The white man took his
81 but then told him only Aston
could lift the hex. Now Aston is
dead and Richardson believes his
chances died with him.
Later he tried a white woman
witch doctor. She wouldn't take his
money but she couldn't help him.
Then his father, Bum Richard
son, took him to hospitals at Duke
University in Durham, and at Roa-
noke Rapids and Rocky Mount.
Maybelle Richardson, Stephens
mother, said the doctors couldn't
do anything for him or even tell
what was wrong with him."
Other offers Of assistance have
poured in.
Deputy Sheriff G. S. Gillian re-
ceived one call from Chattanooga,
Tenn. The caller knew Of a big
witch doctor" down in Georgia who
could fix Stephen up. But he
wouldn't give Gillian the informa-
ton and the Richardson's weren't
handy to the telephone.
Richardson said he once con-
fronted Aston but the hex doctor
denied casting the spell on him.
Typical Case
Rabbit said in New York that
Richardson's was "a typical case
of a person responding to mega
tive suggestion. It'll be fatal unless
he is helped immediately"
Rabbit said he could snap Rich
ardson out of it through hypnotlsm.
Maybelle Richardson said she
never believed in %Witchcraft until
they put the hex on my boy. That's
what it is, a hex
"Most of the folks around here
believe in voodooism, she admit
ted.
Young Richardson said he got
the hex at his girl friends home
during the Christmas holidays in
1915. He felt funny" he said,
when he drank from a bucket OF
water.
81 got sick on the way home and
got sick again at home, and I amt
been right since" he declared.
Richardson gets up occasional
Nv and droops around the plain little
tenant farmers shack where he
lives with his parents.
But most of the time he lies
In bed, waiting to die.
