What am I doing wrong - error fixes problem?

Here's the deal... this following page won't load. However, if I force an error - say setting a text color to a variable that doesn't exist, the page loads. What am I doing wrong? I just get a blank screen with no errors when transitioning to this screen.

Thanks for your help!!

module(..., package.seeall)
print("Running ----------> addDecks.lua")
 
local localGroup = display.newGroup()
local ui = require("ui")
local database = require ("database")
 
local backgrnd = display.newImage( "background_570_380.png", true )
local pagename = display.newText("addDecks.lua", 0, 0, native.systemFontBold, 16)
local nameprompt = display.newText("Enter New Deck Name:", 0, 0, native.systemFontBold, 20)
local pictureprompt = display.newText("Select New Deck Image:", 0, 0, native.systemFontBold, 20)
 
 
local function initVars()
        print("addDecks ... initVars")
 
        localGroup:insert(backgrnd)
        localGroup:insert(pagename)
        localGroup:insert(nameprompt)
        localGroup:insert(pictureprompt)
        
        backgrnd.x      = display.contentWidth / 2
        backgrnd.y      = display.contentHeight / 2
        pagename.x      = display.contentWidth / 2
        pagename.y      = 20
        nameprompt.x    = display.contentWidth / 2
        nameprompt.y    = 60
        pictureprompt.x = display.contentWidth / 2
        pictureprompt.y = 100
        
        pagename:setTextColor( 255,255,255)
        nameprompt:setTextColor( 255,255,255)
        pictureprompt:setTextColor( 255,255,255)
        
end
 
 
 
function clean ( event )
        print("addDecks ... clean")     
end
 
 
function new()
        print("addDecks... Im in the new function!")
 
        
        initVars()
 
        
        return localGroup
        
end

Here's some prints I added to various files to show the flow. Notice that I have no errors in the console...however, I end up with a blank screen with just my background image.
