THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Figures Revealed Covering Business in First November Week. I!!i Time* Special DETROIT. Nov. 14.—Sales of Terraplanes and Hudson cars for the first week in November were higher than for the corresponding period of this month in any year since 1929, according to a statement issued by the Hudson Motor Car Company. Retail deliveries for the first week in November totaled well in excess of one thousand cars, with final figures from some territories still missing, it was stated. October is said to have shown the biggest gain over September in Lwelve years, and the November retail demand bids fair to send Hudson into the 1935 season with a very low stock of cars in dealers’ hands. The first week in November of this year is reported as 56 per cent better than the same period in 1933, lrom a retail standpoint.

hand is directly traceable to the swiftly moving new Oldsmobile which the company handles, he said. Demand for new cars has continued at such a pace for the last several months that it was difficult to keep used car stocks from piling up, Mr. Hickman said, and with prospects for another banner year ahead he desires to clean house so as to be able to start off with full speed in 1935. Standardization Cuts Cost Standardization of automobile parts in France, begun in 1926, has resulted in price reductions, in some cases of 86 to 95 per cent.

EUROPE TODAY SHOWS TREND TO PROSPERITY Marmon-Herrington Head. Back From Trip, Talks With Optimism. Considerably improved European business conditions, particularly in England where automotive plants are on an active production basis, are reported by W. A. Herrington, president of the Mar-mon-Herrington. Cos., Inc., who has just returned from a trip abroad. Back at his desk at the MarmonHerrington factory, where all-wheel drive truck manuTacturing is progressing at a rapid rate, Mr. Herrington has many interesting observations to make in contrasting what he learned in his 1934 European journey with those obtained in his 1933 trip. In Great Britain, at the present time, there is a definite air of both optimism and prosperity. There has been a great improvement in the activity of the British automotive industry, both sales and manufacturing.

‘Green Pastures’ Back Greater Each Season BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

RIGHT now "The Green Pastures' is one of the two mast commanding plays on the American stage. The other is “Ah. Wilderness.” "The Green Pastures’’ is the most

inspirational play we have had in many years. It was "born Feb. 26. 1930, at the Mansfield theater in New York City, with Richard B. Harrison, then an unknown actor, as "De Lawd.” Last night, when Mr. Harrison walked on the stage at English's for the heavenly fish fry of the angels and accepted a 10-cent cigar from one of the angels, he was playing the role of "De Lawd" for the 1,549 th time. He never has missed a performance. I am convinced that Mr. Harrison's acting is as much insiprational as it is art. There is more •soul'’ in his actions, greater stress upon the real meaning of the teachings of "De Lawd” and a greater compassion and even a greater hate for sinners. One of the greatest and most sincere dramatic and emotional moments I ever have experienced in the theater happened last night at English's when Mr. Harrison as “de Lawd,” in the last scene, realized what the people on the earth meant when they thought of God as a God of mercy and love instead of wrath and damnation. The work in this scene, as well as the scene in which Moses dies just before his people enter thp Promised Land, stamps Mr. Harrison as one of the leading actors on the American stage. There is no doubt about that verdict. Mr. Harrison has worked at the job of being “de Lawd” until he has reached acting perfection. Doe Doe Green as Gabriel, also ! has grown since he stepped into the role of de Lawd's right hand angel ' and trumpet blower whenever nec- | essary. Here is a sparkling performance which is a gem in this type of characterization. Other outstanding performances were given by Charles H. Moore as Mr. Deshee. Daniel L. Hayes as Adam, Morris McKinney as Noah. Emory Richardson as Moses, George Randol as Pharaoh and. of course, the great singing chorus which ! takes the place of an orchestra. I found many new things in last i night's performance at English's. This was my fourth time seeing this show. And this is the only show in my life played by the same star that satisfied me more at the fourth showing than the first. Capacity and standing room only was the rule last night, i The engagement closes with a

matinee and night performance today at English s. Lecturer on Program MISS JANE HAMPSON, pianist and lecturer who recently returned from Paris, will give a lecture in French on Wagner’s "Parsifal’ before the Alliance Francaise d'lndianapolis at 8:15 tomorrow night on the sixteenth floor of the Washington, following a dinner at 6:30. Following Miss Hampson, the pupils of Miss Elizabeth Davis, French teacher at Manual Training high school, will give a puppet show, "Au Clair de la Lune." The dolls will be handled by Gertrude Berman, Constance Glazer, Ella Weiland, Max Stein and Stephen Tilson. Eugene Zukerman will be in charge of properties. City Men to Speak FREDERICK BURLEIGH of the Indianapolis Civic Theater and Norman Green of the Sutherland Players will be on the program for the third annual drama conference and demonstration to be held at Indiana university next Friday and Saturday at Bloomington. Mr. Burleigh will speak Friday night on "Styles of Interpretation” and on Saturday morning Mr. Green will speak on the work of religious play groups. Play Director Named THE Brookside Players announce the appointment of Ronald Van Arsdale as their new director in charge of play productions for this season. Mr. Arsdale is well known in dramatic circles here. He has been identified with the Civic Theater
