THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
"The Devil And Daniel Webster” Given
Thursday Night In University Chapel
University Chapel filled to
overflowing last night in spite of
overpowering heat as summer
school students and Athenians at
tended a sterling performance of
Stephen Vincent Benet's “The
Devil and Daniel Webster”; which
was the last of this session’s Mus
ic Appreciation Hours.
Staged and produced by Byron
H. Warner, of the University Mus~
ic faculty, the folk opera featured
members of the Summer Chorus
and voice students at the Univer
sity. Attendants at the opera were
obviously pleased with the music,
the dramatics, and the technical
improvisations—if applause may
be considered to serve as a guage
cf their appreciation.
The star of the show—musically
and dramatically—was Louis Grif
fith, who portrayed Daniel Webs
ter, New Hampshire orator, in all
his dignity and fiery eloquence.
That Mr. Griffith starred, none
of the over 300 attendants will
deny. He helM complete control
over the stage and his audience
from the time he emerged from
the wings till the minute the ama
teur production ended.
Byron Warner, director, fore
warned the capacity audience that
his was an ‘“amateur group but
that the term comes from the word
Amato (which means to love) and
we do love our work.”
In that sense, only, may last
night’s presentation of the Benet
classic be termed an amateur pro
duction as much was done with all
aspects of the opera under Mr.
Warner’s - competent direction.
Lighting, considered difficult in
the Chapel, was engineered care
fully and with taste to provide
maximum effect.
“Old Scratch”
Although Louis Griffith, cast as
lovable and admirable Daniel
Webster, attained the steller spot,
much may be said for the per
formances of other characters in
the opera. Carlton English, an
earthly personification of “Old
Scratch”, executed his lines (both
spoken and sung) with a finesse
beyond his years and experience,
Made-up enough but not too much,
Mr, English managed to keep in
hisg devilish character throughout
the opera with a gleefully malig
nant expression at hopes of getting
Jabez Stone’s soul.
That brings us to another char
acter who is deserving of praise,
Paul Kea, playing Jabez Stone
who sold his soul to the Devil
for money and for the woman he
loved, mastered his music admir
ably and did nearly as well with
his spoken lines. Criticism, if any
is deserved, would fall on Mr.
Kea for a little over-dramatiza
tion.
This difficulity, of which several

. THE STORY: Jack Duggan, a
private detective, was murdered
while masquerading under Basil
Willing’s name. The same night
Miss Katherine Shaw, who appar
ently was to meet Duggan, dies.
Dr. Zimmer, who is a psychiatrist
as is Basil Willing, had enter
tained Miss Shaw, her nephew
Brinsley and her secretary Char
lotte Dean, and a number of other
guests the night the deaths oc
curred. Basil calls on Charlotte
Dean and finds that Brinsley has
planned to sell all of his aunt’s
things at auction. Basil asks Miss
Dean if anything were found that
would throw light on the case.

Charlotte Dean closed her eyes |
a few moments. Then she opened
them with a helpless expression.
*1 found nothing. Nothing at all.”
“Miss Shaw was not only lame.
IShe was blind. She eouldn’t write
a letter or read one. She couldn’t
even dial a telephone by herself.
How was it possible for her to get
in touch with Duggan without
anyone, even you, her daily com
panion, knowing anything about
it?”
“I've been thinking about that.
There's only one way it could have
happened. Some friend must have
recommended him to her casually
and given her his telephone num
ber. She could memorize that.
Then, when I was out on one of
my regular afternoon walks she
could ask the maid to dial the
number and send her out of the
room while she talked. Mary
wouldn’t remember a number she
dialed after a week or so.”
Basil nodded. ‘“And Duggan
could come here to see her while
you were out on another of those
regular afetrnoon walks. We know
he actually saw Miss Shaw be
cause, just before he died, he hap
pened to mention to me the way
she—his client—had looked when
she talked to him.” ; ]
“I wish she had confided in me
instead of a stranger like Dug
gan,” said Charlofte. “I hate to
think of her troubled and helpless,
imprisoned by lameness and
lb]indness, with no one near she '
felt she could trust.”
‘Perhaps she knew that she was
doing something dangerous and
didn’t want you to share the dan
ger.”
“Oh/ thank you, Dr. Willing! I
hadn’t thought of that and I'm so
glad you did. It makes me feel
better.”
Basil set down his fragile tea
cup carefully. His voice was at its
most casual when he remarked:
“By the way, do the letters ‘W. S.
mean anything to you?”
“W. S.’” She repeated the let
ters slowly. “No. Are they ini
tials?” |
“Perhaps.” |

cumstances. Staging was effective
but a little crude, The full pos=-
sibilities of the Chapel were, in
deed, utilized but were not ade
guate enough to allow for full
ramatic effect,
* All action of the opera took
place in the home of Jabez Stone
in Cross Corners, New Hampshire.
The proceedings of the play began
with the wedding celebration of
Jabez and Mary Stone. Andl
there, too, is an example of whatl
students and members of so-called
amateur groups may do,
Ethel Skelton played Mary
Stone, indirect cause of Jabez's
bargain with the devil, and played '
it well, Dressed in her wedding
gown throughout the production,
Miss Skelton was lovely to look
at and beautiful to hear, Musically
she was perfection, and blended
her music and her lines with un
usual ability,
Other cast members displayed
- great ability and.carried the opera
along at a pleasing tempo and'
natural pace. |
| Memorable Scenes
The devil's arrival at the wed
~ding celebration and the trial at
‘which Daniel Webster defended
Jabez against Scratch are scenes
that music lovers will long remem
ber.
The beautiful lines from Step
‘hen Vincent Benet’s pen set to
-music by contemporary composer,
'Douglas Moore, were made to
‘order for Louis Griffith and his
co-players, Eloquence and fiery
sweetness seemed to emmanate
from Mr. Griffith in his address to
the ghostly jury of malefactors
which Scratch summoned to sit in
judgment on Jabez.
‘ Bertram Kelso sang the role of
Miser Stephens who had fallen
prey to Scratch. Cleverly executed,
lhis soul was seen rising from the
devil’s tin box and soaring about
‘the chapel. The use of a bright
light was employed for the flying
soul and Mr. Kelso's voice was
heard from the wings pleading for
help and enjoining that someone
help Jabez Stone before he, too,
lose his soul to the devil.
Bob Flanders was Justice Ha
thorne; W. C. Owen, at his comical
best was the fidder and clerk of
court; Nat Frazer was Walter But
ler; Savier Lenoir was the old
man; and Juanita Tucker was
magnificent was the old woman.
Ernest Edwards was at the piano
and Miss Nolee Mary Dunaway at
the organ.
Tribute goes to the University
music department, Mr. Warner
and his entire cast for one of the
most enjoyable hours spent by
this reviewer-in many a day.
iis, anyone Miss Shaw knew"
Basil sighed. “If anyone — or
tanything — with those initials
comes back to you later, I hope
'you will let me gmow. And now
'may I see Miss Shaw’s own liv
ing quarters?” 5
, “Certainly.”
* * *
’ There was little trace of Miss
| Shaw now in the long room over
looking the street. It was just as
[ifnno one had ever lived there at
all.
Charlotte opened the door of a
closet, empty even of coatracks.
“Dresses have gone to the Salva
tion Army. Furs and laces and one
brooch were left to me. Other
jewels went to Brinsley Shaw,
with the hope that he would some
day have a wife to wear them.”
Basil thought of Isolda Canning
and smiled a little. If ever Brins
ley had a wife she wouldn't want
“those ugly old things of your
aunt’s.” But there was one thing
of Katherine Shaw's that she
would appreciate —the fortune
that Brinsley Shaw had just in-’
herited.
Charlotte looked slowly around
the room, so still and empty in
the sunlight. “It’s hard to be
lieve she’s gone. I can’'t look at
this armchair without seeing her
there as I found her that last
@itemoon when I came in from
my work, in her violet dress,
holding her favorite book on her
lap, the blue-and-gold Keats.”
The thrill of a shock passed
through Basil almost electrically,
but he spoke softy. “Miss Shaw,
who was blind and could not
read?”
Charlotte, looked at him with
frightened eyes. “I — I never
thought of that.”
“What did you think?”
“That she was tracing the leaves
and flowers tooled on the cover

with her fingertips. The design is
beautiful.”
“What do you do with a book
if you can’t read it?” demanded
Basil.
“Well,” Charlotte floundered.
“Sometimes you press a faded
flower or fern leaf between the
pages.”
“And sometimes you leave a
slip of paper there for safe keep
ing,” added Basil. “If you were
blind and wanted to keep a slip
of paper without letting anyone
else see it, what better hiding
place than a book that was kept
under lock and key? Especially if
it were a book you could always

The books were in boxes in the
cellar. Charlotte’'s hand trembled
as she held a flashlight for Basil.
In the third box he searched he
found the Keats.
He slid his fingertips under the
spine at either end and shook the
book, letting the pages flutter. A
slip of paper slithered out and
coasted zigzag to the floor. Basil
held it close to the flashlight
beam.
It was a grimy piece of paper
and someone had scrawled across
it hastily in an unlettered hand.

“But what can those letters and

lotte. “If only Miss Shaw had
trusted me!”
Basil looked at Charlotte
thoughtfully. “How can you be
sure Miss Shaw herself knew
what they meant? She couldn’t
read this slip of paper. She was
blind.”

Idea To Film Lon a;ancy Story
Wins Approval Of His Family
By ERSKINE JOHNSON
NEA Staff Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD —(NEA)— Be
hind the Screen: Interest in a
movie biography of the late Lon
Chaney—the screen’'s man of 1000
faces—is beginning to mount on
flicker row. One independent pro
ducer has already approached
Lon’s son, who's carried his
father’s name through 190 films,
on the idea.
There will be no family objec~
tion to putting the story on the
screen, Lon Chaney told me on
Warners’ “Springfield Rifle” set.
“My mother objected to some
articles written about my father
after his death,” Lon said, “so
we've avoided any talk about a
movie until now.”
Lon on the subject of an actor
who could play his father: “Paul
Muni in his heyday would have
been perfect. I wouldn't insist on
playing it myself. I couldn’t do
it unless they’d let me act like my
old man did instead of directing
me.”
L * *
Richard Burton, the sensational
British actor who will play the
young hero opposite Olivia de
Haviland in “My Cousin Rachel,”
flunked the screen test he made
for Fox with a scene from the
best-seller. But George Cukor
showed Ddrryl Zanuck a print of
a British movie that Burton made,
“Woman of Dolwyn.” and the
actor was signed pronto.
# * &
Reports from Europe say that
Joan Fontaine’s movie. “Decam
eron Night,” is so torrid in con=-
tent—it's taken from Boccacio’s
spicy tales—that it should be re
titled, “The Candid Decameron
Nights.”
NEVER FEAR
THERE will be no love scenes
between Ethel Merman and Don
ald O’Connor in the movie version
of “Call Me Madame”— just in
case you're worrying about how
Ethel and Donald would look in
a clinch.
