The Southland's
Own Play.
" Hie Clansman" Thomis Dix
on's greatdr.iuui, has been aptly
called the Southland's own play.
It is a story of Southern people,
for Southern people, *and was
written by a Southern man. It
is the champion of the South,
having successfully and forcibly
answered "Uncle Tom's cabin,"
which favored the North. 'The
Clansman" has served a far
g e ter purpose* and has accom-
plished much more than the
other play, however, for it has
attained success and popularity
in every part of the United States
while Uncle Tom's Cabin" has
always been confi .ed to limited
territory.
Of course this does not mean
That "The Clansman" never met
with protest or adverse criticism,
for it has often encountered both
but was strong enough to sur
mount these obstacles because
the theme set forth embodies
truths which cannot be debated
"The Clansma as Is gener
ally known, Is a dramatisation
of Mr. Dixon's two most famous
find widely read books, "The
"lansman" and "The Leopard's
"'pots." The drama has long
since been declared one of the
greatest in t1 e history of the
stage and it still holds the recort
of being the most widely discuss
ed play that has ever been pro-

The Woman's Missionary So-
ciety of the Methodist chorda
had a prayer service and free-

noon at the home Mrs. Matejkn.
The program which was in-
structive and interesting was a
brief study of the schools in our-
home land, which we by our dues,

ed upon the minds of Southerner
to need repetition. The sincer-
ity with which it tells of incidents
in the South during the memor-
able Reconstruction period is
well known throughout ihe whole
country. The action of the play
takes place in a little town among
the South Carolina foot hills.
A potent element of "'The Clans
man" is the charm of the South-
ern country it so faithfully re-
produces. It inculates Southern
country it so faithfully repro-
duces. It inculcates Southern
patriotism and all of its charac-
ters are true types of the people
of this section as they were forty
years ago and as they are today.
