Roland E. Chase Dies At
His Home Here Tuesday

its most illustrious citizens when
Roland E. Chase died early Tues
day of a heart attack at t h
age of 81.
Although declining in bodily
strength for some time, his pass
ing was unexpected to his family
and to those who knew him best
and were accustomed to seeing
him walk to the post office two
or three times daily.
Mr.. Chase was born here Au-
gust IA, 1867, while this was a
part of Wise County and the settl
ment here was known as Holly
Creek. He was son Of Capt. John
P. and Mamie L. Chase. He at
tended the rural schools, such as
they were at that time, and later
Gladeville Academy. He complet-
ed his education and law
course at the National Normal
University at Lebanon, Ohio,
graduating when he was twenty
years old. He was admitted to the
bar soon after and practiced law
continuously until death. He was
the Oldest attorney at the Clint
wood bar, both in age and length
of practice.
He married Miss Mary Chase
of Tennessee while young man
and started housekeeping at
Clintwood. He lived here his en-
tire life with the exception of a
year or two that he practiced law
in Richmond. Mrs. Chase died in
November, 1929. Later he mar
ried Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, of
Lebanon, Ohio, who was an &C
quaintance while he was attend
ing school there.
He was elected to the Virginia
State Senate in 1907 from the dis
trict then composed of Buchanan,
Dickinson, Russell and Tazewell
He was again elected to the Sem
ate in 1881 to represent Dicken-
son and Wise. Between his two
terms in the senate, he was elect
ed to the House of Delegates for
two terms for the district then
composed of Dickinson and Wise.
His greatest work while serv-
ing in the senate and the house,
or SO he considered, was his Ia
bors for more and better high.
ways for his district. He was ono
of the best known men in either
house OF the legislature, and no
man ever worked harder for the
uplIft of his district than he did.
MIR. Chase was the Republican
nominee for Congress in this dis
trict in 1882, but that was a bad
year Tor the Republicans and he
went down in the great Demo-
cratic landslide that elected Roose
welt President, along with a Dem
ocratic Congress.
He was instrumental in found
ing the first Odd Fellow lodges
here and remained a member I'm
til death, He served one term as
grand master of the lodges in this
state.
Burial will be in the Clint
wood Cemetery in the east end

vices at 2 p. m. at the Methodist
of which he was a life
long member. Rev. l.. D. Perkins
of Jonesville, a former pastor OF
the church here, and Rev. D. G.

He is survived by the widow
and by the following sons and

and relighted in the third, leaving
Mr.. Hart and another theater full
of customers still captivated by the
wayward charm of the theater.
This lovers quarrel, between Mr..
Hart and the theater, differs from
most of its type only in that 1t is
conducted in public and that the
participants are more explosively
expressive than their counterparts
elsewhere.
It is part of the spectacular splash
of Light Up The Sky" in its home
town that every one identifies the
authors characters with well known
personalities along Broadway Yet,
the stranger who does not know
that this so-and-so is that par
ticular so-and-so, will find them
quite as ridiculously laughable. This
rather guarantees the play a stay
we'll beyond any implied in the
audiences intimate knowledge OF
whom the playwright Is gossipine
about with such enthusiastic malice
As his own director, Mr.. Hart has
cast his play with a glib brilliance
which leaves little doubt that star
actresses, producers, directors, and
their relatives by blood or marriage
are a repulsive lot of megalo-
maniacs crying for moral exposure.
He wants to make certain, how
ever, that in revealing their ab-
rsurdity they are always kept
amusing. He has.

The living room of Boston hotel
suite is the scene Of Mr.. Hart's
surgery on the ills of the theater.
Here in the late afternoon before
new play has its first road per-
formance, he introduces everybody
concerned. The star Is present, a
glamorous egomaniac with a wild
futtering heart with which she
thinks to enguf mankind. So are
the producer, a rich self-made
Broadway phoney trying to capsule
the beauty Of art in Broadwayese; /;
the director is one Of those iissome
products Of unbalanced glands; the
producers gaudy, brassy wife: the
stars elderly, hoydenish mother
and her prim Wall Street, Harvard
ish husband.
There are also a couple of play
wrights, the neophyte who wrote

tured, battle-scarred veteran, who
might be Moss Hart, himself. The
former is along for the ride, the
kind gangsters give one another.
The latter came to be in on the fun.
Before the play opens, these peo-
pie are full Of hope. Their eccen-
tricities cascade all over the set.
The star "dahlings" every one. The
director Is so excited he could cry"
The excited producer Is about to
give the world something it has
been lacking since Shakespeare.
They gave Mr.. Hart the material
for lively, roistering burlesque of a
first act.
It is midnight when they return
for the second. BY this time their
play In their minds, is q flop. The
charm has gone out of them, they
are down to their own spiritual raw
ness. Their true natures are re-
vealed, expressed in high pitched
snarls, accusations Of betrayal and
the most acute pangs of exclusive
self-love.
Mr.. Hart Is slick, knowing and
amusing here. He Is equally so in the
third act when the morning paper
reviews appear and the Boston critics
see the play, for all its fiagrant
faults, as potentially great. Now 1t is
up to everybody to begin all over
again the process Of redemption
which will put them back in the
mood of the first act. The skeptics
might be completely unconvinced by
this routine, but Mr.. Hart Is not OF
that category. Like the members OF
his cast, he believes 1t too, which is
certainly not the least amusing
thing about Light Up the Sky"

It is q fascinatingly lacquered group
which represents MIR. Harris glamour

the polished facade; Sam Levine,
the producer whose idealism is dol
lar deep; Glen Anders the effemi-
nate director; Phyllis Povah as the
blowsy mother Of the actress; Philip
Ober as the immaculate older play
wright and Barry Nelson as the har-
rassed younger one: and Audrey
Christie as the fiamboyantly earthy
