TO PRESENT ‘PORGY’
AS A MUSICAL SHOW
NEW YORK CITY November 9—
Plans for a musical version of “Por

Negroes by DuBose and Dorothy
Heyward which the Theatre Guild
presented in 1927 have been an
nouncd by the Guild. George Ger
shwin will provide the score Mr..
Heyward will supply the libretto and
Ira Gershwin and 'Mr.. Heyward will
collaborate on the lyrics. No date
for proruction or casting plans have
been revealed. It is unlikely however
that tlje new version will be ready
this season.
There had been repeated rumors
that Jerome Kern and Oscar Ham
merstein would fashon a musical
show from “Porgy” in which A1 Jol
son would appear. Last week Messrs..
Kern and Hammerstein abandoned
the plan. It had long been the de
sire of Mr.. Gershwin to make an
opera from “Porgy” even before the
novel by that name had been adapt
ed as a play. The Gershwin brothers
are well known for their music and
lyrics for the political satire “Of
Thee I Sing” and the current “Let
‘Em Eat Cake..”

HOUSTON Texas November 8—
(CNS)—The United Daughters of
the Confederacy ever active in stir
ring up strife about any incident of
the ‘late unpleasantness that does not
suit their fancy are claiming victory
in their recent attempt to force Un
cle Tom and his cabin off the fall
calendar of the Rice Institute Drama
tic Club.
Institute thespians had already
broken the ice for Little Eva’s flight
when Mrs. W.. W.. Turner of Web
ster State president of the U.. D . C..
announced the 10000 members of the
State organization would oppose pre
sentation of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”
“They won’t give it” said Mrs.
Turner. “I sent an emissary to school
authorities today and got back the
assurance the play will not be pre
sented as scheduled.
Dean H.. B.. Wheeler of the Rice
Institute said however he had not
been advised of any devitation from
the program.
“I do not know wha'c will be done”
said the dean “but I have an idea
final disposition will be left entirely
to the players most of whom are
Southern born.”
U.. D.. C.. members held the play
was an affront to the South.

ST. THOMAS, V.. I.. November 8—
(CNS)—Dry officials in the Virgin
Islands are expected to soon take
their departure from their island
posts with thp prospective end of
national prohibition and the resump
tion of run making in the near fu
ture.
Comment in a recent issue of The
Bulletin of St. Thomas, says: “With °
the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment confidently expected on Dec
ember 6, it is also expected that all
persons who have come into public
positions in consequence of their sym
pathy with prohibition will now feel
bound to resign.
“It must be expected that their
conscience will not permit them to
remain in office and assist the ad
ministration in its efforts to facili
tate the dealings in liquor; nor
should the administration be handi
capped by unwilling workers or peo
ple whose conscience prohibits them
to give full and free assistance when
the administration changes policy."
Prohibition was a stiff blow to the
rum industry cn many islands, and
particularly on the Virgin Islands
group which came under the Amer
ican flag almost simultaneously with
the banishing of the liquor traffic.
St. Croix rum had for a century been
one of the riiost famous brands.
