THE INDEX-JOURNAL, GREENWOOD, S. C. MAYOR MARSHALL ENDORSES LITTLE THEATRE HERE Mayor J. M. Marshall today" sued an endorsement of The Little Theatre, an crganization growing out of the Theatre Guild which was.

begun last year, and recommended it to the public as a movement worthy of support. The mayor's endorsement was issued as follows: The Little Theatre of Greenwood has my endorsement because 1 believe from a civic point of view, this can bring to our city wholesome entertainment and will give an opportunity to develop local talent. It will mean that interested persons of this area will have an opportunity for self expression in the art of acting or some kindred phase of drama. Again' our citizens will have the privilege of seeing productions that offer truth and beauty, aside from the fact that a great deal of pleasure can be derived from productions given by this group. I believe that there are enough people in Greenwood of broad vision and confidence in an enterprise that is of real civic value to launch this project.

The Little Theatre will entail a lot of work for those who have active management fit but with the backing of the public. I feel this group will be willing to sacrifice their time and talent to make it a success.
