Barter Players
Score Hit With
Wilde's Comedy

Inc DdFteT FidyeTS VI the Oldte
Theater of Virginia presented the
Importance of Being Earnest
before an appreciative audience
at the Pascagoula high school on
Wednesday night.
The Barter Players who are
on a national tour appeared here
under the auspices of the Pas
point Little Theater, Booked this
year into metropolitan and small
Ter communities alike, Barter
presents to the cities the finest
technical productions of out
standing plays and to the small
towns an example of what the
Legitimate theater can offer as
part of Americas cultural heri-
tage.
Oscar Wilde's whimsical play,
"The Importance of Being Earn
est" was cleverly interpreted by
a cast of outstanding professional
players.
Charles Durand appearing as
Lane, a man servant, is stage
manager and doubling as an &C.
tor. He was Mickey Rooney's
stage manager for his soldier
show in Europe. AS Lane he gave
a creditable performance.
Herbert Nelson, who shared the
male lead with Owen Phillips,
came to Barter for two-week en-
gagement and has stayed on ever
since except for the time spent
in the services. He was a regular
in such radio networks as Ma
Perkins" and Stella" AS the play
boy Algernon, in this amusing
comedy of manners he was excel
lent.
Owen Phillips, appearing as
John Worthing, il both director
and actor. His creditable per-
as John Worthing veri-
his ability as an actor and
his reputation as a director was
established by his outstanding
work last year directing "Blithe
Spirit" and Estate of The Union"
Experienced Players
Carol McComas who came
out of retirement to be with the
Barter Theater was excellent in
her portrayal of the character of
Bracknell. On Broadway she
played the Pulitzer Prize title
role in Miss Lula Bett." Her in
depreciation of Lady Bracknell's
character vas most amusing.
Judith Jeffrey joined Barter
Players after fifteen months tour
ing Europe in soldier shows in
1.-The Voice of the Turtle" APP
pearing in Oscar Wilde's comedy
the capricious but determined
Hon. Gwendoline'Fairfax she was
charming.
Marion Wilson cast as Cecily
Cardew, a sophisticated ingenue,
was captivating and definitely
showed the talent for which
Miss Helen Hays chose her from
500 candidates for a years work
with Barter Theater.
Miss Prism was cleverly acted
by Virginia Maths who has had
experience in such radio shows
as "The Aldrich Family" and
others.
The Rev. Canon Chasuble, the
rather bewildered but affable rec
tor, was played by James Reese
who has been active on the stage
and the air.
Jack Taylor as Merriman, the
man servant of Mr.. Worbington,
completed the cast. Although a
bit part, he invested it with a
distinct personality.
The scenery and costumes add
ed much to the production giving
an aura of eighteenth century
England and a convincing back
ground for Oscar Wilde's clever
comedy of manners.
A large and appreciative audi
ence of local theater goers en-
joyed the evenings performance.
During intermission coffee was
served by a committee of Pas
point Little Theater members to
the patrons.

Illinois rose. Mr. Chairman, are

The delegates sprang to their feet.

of applause died down, the roll of the

chairman announced:
Gentlemen of the convention, you

wet affair and Carter sold them
the whisky.
The savages were not SO bad and
were smarter than lot OF white
persons. Knowing they were going
to get pretty drunk, they handed
over all their tomahawks and other
weapons to the squaws to hide from
them. They called on Carter for
whisky time after time and as they
got drunken the more water he add
ed to the liquor.
Eventually they drank themselves
sober on the weakened whisky and
learning about the trick, nine of
them went over to Carter's to settle
the matter. Since they had no
weapons they were not so dangerous.
Carter. ran the whole nine out of
his cabin with an iron poker.
The squaws were sent to Cleve-
land to make peace with Carter, who
later was regarded as somewhat of
magician by the savages. They
said he could shoot holes through
them with a rife without leaving
any hole in their skin.
Indians Object To Hanging
On June 26, 1912, an Indian named
20 Mic" was hanged for murder in
Cleveland. 1t was the first legal
execution in the place. Fearing that
the savages might try to rescue the
convicted Indian and prevent his
execution, many armed citizens of
the settlements around Cleveland
were there to repulse any such at
tempt. However, none came-no-
body objected to the hanging but
the victim himself. He did not want
to walk up on the gallows to get
hanged
Still declining to take the last 13
steps, the Indian was promised a
pint of whisky if he would climb up
and let them hang him. He hesitat-
ed a moment, then looked at the
whisky and reached out for it.
O'Mic drank the liquor, climbed up
on the scaffold and was launched
into the land of spirits.
So goes the true story of a century

Presidents MESSAGE
Puts Prop Under
Metals Market
Dy the Asseeiafsd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 20.-President
Truman's message to Congress on
the critical need for national de-
fense put a prop this week under
the long-term structure Of the nom
ferrous metals market.
The short-term prospects con-
tinued strong. Domestic consumers
of copper. lead and zinc pressed for
deliveries.
Trade sources who previously had
expressed doubts over the price
structure in the second half of the
year felt that the Presidents speech
indicated that increased military
needs and government stockpiling
would keep demand in excess OF
supply for the rest of the year.
Copper fabricators actively sought
substantial tonnages for April ship
ment. Orders on producers books
for March delivery now aggregate
10000 tons. Prices were firm al

Foreign copper buying was active
Most sales were booked at 2lh cents

Assorted Rails Gain
Moderately in Quiet
Bond Dealings
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 2o.-A hand
picked group Of railroad issues
advanced in bond trading today
but the market generally Jagged far
behind fast-moving stock prices.
Gains ran to more than a point
but for the most part fractional
improvement was the rule. Buying
focused on issues in the low and
medium price brackets.
Several bonds in the foreign loan
section made a good showing, in

been under pressure. I

Possibly rejecting news Of pro-
posal that Trieste be returned to
Italy, italian bonds rose smartly in
comparatively brisk dealings. The

On the week the market didn't do
much better than hold its own. Rails
and industrials were, on the aver
age, a trifle higher. Foreign dollar
loans, under pressure off and on as
concern over the international situa-
ton mounted, showed a fairsized
loss.
Low Yield Group Rises.
An outstanding performance was
turned in by high-priced or low
yield bonds. This group has tended
higher for weeks after having been
pushed lower for months. The high

after starting the week lower and
