 Macbeth" presented at the Jefferson theatre last night by the Ben Greet play ers,in the Elizabethan manner, was an interesting and very impressive perform ance The mechanism of the modern +I,Ie f, the simplicity of the setting used through out only heightened the effect of tragedy, not detracting from it In any particu- ar. A systSn of eS&ts and entrances and a green curtain, drawn or withdrawn, as the occasion demanded, a silent page who placed chair and removed it and the introduction of the banquet was all of the stage business" except that a painted drop was used in the witches scene The close attention given by the audience through the entire performance, which was without intermssions, was a testimonial to the ability of the players and the vividness of the presentation.
 The honors of the evening fell in large measure to Miss Keith Wakeman, whose splendid stage appearance, musical voice and fine delivery made her portrayal of Lady Macbeth potent and convincing. She not only spoke her lines well, but seemed to be every inch the queen and yet womanly with all her blood-stained ambitions. Stanley Drewitt as Macbeth was very good. although his enunciation was faulty at times and he sometimes lost the correct emphasis of his lines. Probably his best scene was that in which he say Banquos ghost at the banquet

PRISONER PICKS
 WAY TO LIBERTY

Atlanta, April 16.-A. L. Frierson, white, sentenced in 1905 to 10 years for man. slaughter. has picked" his way to liberty in a most unusual manner. No saws, no "jimmies," no nitro-glycerin, no tools or explosives of any kind were used. No shackles were broken, no steel bars tam pered with. no apertures made in prison walls.
 But with his banjo Frierson literally picked his way to liberty. The convict s banjo picking attracted the attention of pr. J. W. Lee, pastor of the Trinity Methodist church, Atlanta, on a recent visit to the convict camp at valdosta "No man with that much music in his soul,' said Dr. Lee, "could be crim- inal," and forthwith he circulated pe- titon for Friersons release.
 Today Governor Smith signed F'rierson' s parole, and within 24 hours the banjo picking convict will cast aside the stripes and begin life anew in an effort to live up to his pledges of reformation.
