uncompromisingly story on how
back-country people must suffer
from poverty at the hands of
loan sharks and exploiters. It
proves that the story Of the poor
white sharecropper about which
the book was originally written,
and the conditions of the Negro
sharecroppers are about the same.
1t is proof that people react the
same regardless to race under the
same environment and circum-
stances.
The supporting actress in this
cast is Evelyn Ellis who has for a
long time been a favorite on
Broadway. Miss Ellis not only
stars inthe play as Ada Lester,
the wife of the shiftless Jeeter,
but is also director.
Ada is a pathetic character, too
pathetic to want anything more
than a "stylisb dress" to be
buried in. The only two of the
II Jeeter children remaining at
home were Dude and Ellie Mae.
The hair-lipped, sex-hungry Ellie
Mae was played by Baby Joyce
! who has been seen in several
Broadway stage successes a n d
Hollywood film productions as
a feature dancer in the great
, Cotton Club shows.
The 16-year-old moronic, ball
bouncing son, known as Dude
Lester was portrayed by Jimmy
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1950-02-11

Wright who has also played i'm
portant roles in "Mamba's Daugh-
ters," Macbeth, "Long Way
Home," "Haiti," walk Together
Little Children and other Broad
way hits.
One Of the most spectacular
characters was the frightened,
Grandma Lester, which was play
ed by Estelle Hemsley. Creeping
silently around the old, broken
down Lester homestead, grandma
finally drifted into the woods in
search of firewood but never re-
turned. 1t was suspected that the
poor, old hungry soul died there,
but nobody bothered to investi-
gate.
Another prominent member of
the Lester family was the pretty,
long-haired "Pearl" who was play
ed by Dolores Mack, a newcomer
to Broadway. This supposedly 12-
|year-old girl was the bride Of a
rough, uncouth, but hard working
and good providing Low Bensey.
Pearl ran away from her de-
voted husband because she was
not willing to sleep in the bed
with him, and took refuge with
her Mother Ada. Low. played by
John Tate, made every effort to
get his pretty child-wife back,
even by bribing his father-in-law
with a slab of fat-back. After
Pearl refused to return to him, he
finally compromised by accepting
her young, sexy sister, Ellie May.
Helen Dowdy made a big hit as
Sister Bessie Rice, the middle
aged gospel-singing, lustful evan.
gelist, who was so desperate fo1
a husband that she persuaded the
teen-aged Dude to marry her by
promising to buy him an auto.
mobile with a horn.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1950-02-11

Dude, who was more interested
in an automobile-ride than he
was in a honeymoon with Sister
Bessie, finally ended with RUM
ing over his own mother in his
automobile causing her death.
The only white man in the play
was John Mark who played the
role of Captain Tim, the son of
the once owner of the Lester land
who finally lost the cotton farm
through bad investments, which
necessitated the Jeeter Lester
family to have to leave the only
home which they ever knew.
Other characters in the play
were John Bouie who played the
part of George Payne, the repre-
sentative of the Augusta bank
and insurance company who made
the loan on the farm and found
it necessary to foreclose and eva
cuate Jeeter; and Cherokee Thorn
