2 'A——'IO GUARDSMEN SAVE TWO FROM MOB Disguise Colored Men in Army Uniforms and Takes Them to Atlanta. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., May 19—Two col eored men, charged with attacking white girl, were spirited away from a | mob at Elberton this morning disguised in uniforms and lodged in Fulton | Tower by National Guardsmen. ‘They were hidden in trees surround- ing the Elberton Jail for an hour and » half, militiamen said, before they were | put in an automobile and hurried to| Atlanta. Shortly after, the 200 Guardsmen ‘who had stood off a mob variously ec- | timated at from 2,500 to 5,000 mounted | their trucks and busses and ceparted | for their homes at Elberton, Monroe and Atlanta. At Fulton Tower the two! colored men were booked as Hizak Mc- | Corley, 17, and John Dower, 25. | They joined four others hurried out of Elberton yesterday by Sheriff S. C.| Seymour. Two white men, E. A, Edwards, 28, and Glenn Crowder, 25, are in the EI- bert County Hospital suffering from | gunshot wounds as the result of lttacks upon the jail, Machine gun fire, tear grennde& smoke bombs and fire hose were used by city and county officers and Guards- | ‘men in repulsing repeated attacks, two | of which penetrated the cell house doors of the colored men. ‘The prisoners were removed from the jail, militiamen said, when the mob luned to blow up the building with Deaths Re rted.

Fruitfully displayed during the Winter in Manhattan, it was brought last night to the National Theater by the emerprislng National Players, and given its initial hearing before a large and Ffosperous au- ence. Like all Cra- ven theatrical { vlends this com- edy achieves distinction through its homespun hu- mor and the drawing of character _with a_homely brush. Withno thought of anything save to amuse, it holds fast to its purpose through a cheerful eve- nicg, each act ending on an upnote hich the eudience can take out Info tre lobby and enicker over while quaffing its nocturnal Coca Cola. The kind of entertainment that sits well cn th> pre-meliing Sum- mer reason, the National Players, with 1o foifalls apparent, give it a splendid boost. Punctuated by con- sistent snorts of approval from the balcony down, they unravel the fable of the Western business men who meets a “friend” in an Icwan hotel over a stomach-ache and brings him home after it and <eveu1 quarts of rye have been absor] and presents him to his famil in the motto “He saved my life!” Un- fortunately the life-saver proves to to be an impecunious merchant of perishable theatrical prcductions, who, finding a home to his liking and a wardrobe he can borrow from, stays far beyond his welcome and throws the household into consider- able confusion. Eventually he lures cne of the daughters of the family to New York, freeing her from the arms of her chilly local lover, plants her successfully among the Broad- way flowers and then finds her run- ning off with a grease-paint hus- band who sines “me-me’s” and “ba-ba’s” like a bleeting lamb before the breakfast hour. The drawing of character in all this has been well attended to, es- pecially since Director Brcoke has juggled up his cast so nicely. Nancy Sheridan appears as the ugly duckling who sings her way right onto Broadway. She allows herself to be a first-class wallflower, at the came time displaying an honest-to-goodness voice which rings forth clearly and sweetly—and which, more cr less, catapulted her audience out of its seat in surprise. Burke Clarke is excellent in the long and hagardous role of the father of the family who can’t get to Raymond Bramley. closet too often; Raymond Bramley is smocth and more capable as the assuager of stomach ilis, and Ade- laide Hibbard romps through the “‘mother” role as though she had played it every evening of her life. Of the others, there is Daphne Warren-Wilson waiting to be mar- ried to John Warburton, after a splendid crying siege; Roberta Beatty carrying cff one of the best bits of the evening—and when, incidentally, is this talented lady going to be al- lowed to come cut and do something? -—nnd Stanlev Ridges =inging his “‘me-me's” with an air of prosperity which is belied only by the barren- the wine ness of cermn portlnm of his trou- sers.
