I used my car, sitopping at each address. I simply left the papers there and then continued until the papers were all gone." 0 A.

GREET PLAYERS EXCELLENT IN "MACBETH" Before a large local audience Sat urday, the Ben Greet Players staged at Stuart Hall a hitrhlv sue cessful adaptation of Shakespeare's "Macbeth."

The players have appeared with the original Ben Greet Players, under the direction of the late Sir Philip Ben Greet, authority on English drama. Saturday, Henry Joyner as Macbeth, Daisy Vivian as Lady Macbeth, and Peter Monks as both Banquo and the Doctor gave a magnificent performance. It was interesting to note how few properties they needed, and yet how effective and well rounded was the result.
