--cast is headed by the celebrated Charles Timlinb, Broadway star, who plays the elderly, shiffthess and philodocious Jeeper Lester, central figure in the story. Jeeter Lester and his strangely curious father, the children, Dude, Pearl, and Ellie May give the portrait of life among the pennille tenant farmers of the back country of Georgia. These amazing and amusing people, living along a tobacco road, are shown knowing little but sex, with the odd lot because they have experienced no other. Their greatest love is for the land on which they live and which they have inherited from generations of ancestors. "Tobacco Road" has been pronounced by such literary celebrities as Theodore Dieser, Alexander Woolcott and George Jean Nathan the most significant American dramatist in the last 25 years.

Broadway Success Will Be Presented For One Night Only
For One Night Only
When "Tobacco Road" is seen at the Dickinson theater next Friday night at 8 o'clock, Lawrence theater-goers will be able to watch the show on tour. Produced first on December 4, 1933, in New York, "Tobacco Road" is run for two solid years on Broadway, a record exceeded in the theater by only one other production. "Lightning" and "Able's Irish Rose."
Written by Jack Kirkland and based on Erskine Caldwell's celebrated novel of the same name, "Tobacco Road" has stirred up more discussion than any other play produced in the American theater in the last twenty-five years.
"It is not only an honest and deeply moving play," said Marc Connolly, author of "Green Pastures," that is "alive to America" that corner of America it chronicles.

"Writing Is Difficult," Stephen V. Benet Warns Prospective Authors
AKER PRESIDENT TO RETIRE AT THE END OF 1936-37 TERM
New. Haven, Conn.—(UP)—Prospective authors should not underestimate the difficulty of a writing career, cautions Stephen St. Vincent Benet, outstanding American poet and author of "John Brown's Body."
Dr. Wallace B. Fleming, 63, president of f Baker University for 14 years, plans a retire at the end of the 1956-37 term, has been announced.
"Although writing is really a difficult process, most people think they are potential novelists," the author said.
Dr. Fleming declared that he has always wanted to retire when he reached 65. He wishes to be relieved of his duties and to work harder work. His plans are still indelible.
Where Maniac Killed Professors
Dr. Fleming came to Baker from West Virginia Wesleyan College, Buckhannon, W. Va. Has increased his direction, Baker University has under its endowment fund $700,000 and constructed several new buildings.
"There are many who believe in the inspirational or untraught songbird theory about authors. According to this the author is a kind of wires, and if you write a song you will turn on a light. The reaction of an author to a situation is like that of a slot machine. Actually, inspiration is the molten metal of literature, but unless there is a mold for the metal in the writings it is glitched about and wasted."
When Victor S. Kosowau was discharged from Columbia College of
Missouri, Dr. Arthur F. Kowe, deputy dean and Dr. Arthur F. Kowe, associate dean, and Dr. Paul Wilberg,
were appointed as full-time faculty.
Bnet, who was chairman of the Yale Literary magazine when a Yale undergraduate, said the greatest necessity for him was to be able to understand the personality of everyone with whom he comes into contact. But he also must have time to find out in what fields he can write to help others. What he could do was to write Yale letters and writing about knights and troubadours.
"The author is fortunate to realize $700, a year from his writing," Benet assured "On the other hand, one successful book might make as much as $70,000."
