...Faithful Service of the Good Darkies of Louisiana. Donated by J. L. Bryan, 1927. Mr. Bryan, cotton planter and banker, had been lulled to sleep in his babyhood by Negro spirituals, and had played with little slave boys on his father's old plantation, so he recently felt the urge to do something big for the Negro. The bronze statue of "The Good Darky," completed last week by Hans Schuler, Baltimore sculptor, was the result.

Buck Merritt gets his pardon just then and comes back for Angel and Little Buck. The primitive feelings of mountain people are conscientiously concentrated, but drama is not felt, as it was in Poet Heyward's other story, Porgy (1925), about a purple-black beggar of Charleston. He has let the beauty of his new locale run away with him. What he should have written was an idyl. What he has written is a poetic scenario...
