1t is rare that an entire company

This is true of the production of

its place among those unusual
studies of human impulses which
have been recognized as Offering
possibilities for actors with the ca
pacity TO- the display of personality.
The record of the Arts Club is one
which naturally led up to last eve
ning's commendable performance.

presented the names of Miss Anne

Determine Merit of Dr..

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 23.-Ac-
ton on a proposed heresy trial for DR..
Charles E. Diehl, president of South
western Denominational College at
Memphis, was postponed by his preSby-
terry here yesterday. At the same time 1t
was disclosed that two of his Memphis
opponents had launched another attack
on his orthodoxy in letters to the synods
of four States.
The Nashville Presbytery of the
Southern Presbyterian Church yesterday
voted to wait until its Fall meeting,
September 20, before deciding whether
to try DR.. Diehl Eugene T. Hollins,
Nashville, member of the presbytery,
asked Tuesday that DR.. Diehl be tried
after charging that he did not believe
in the full inspiration of the Scriptures.
To Study Question.
Between now and the Fall meeting a
special committee will study the ques-
ton and prepare a recommendation as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of a trial.
Meanwhile, Rev. J. P. Robertson IN
Memphis and DR.. w. S. Lacy, director
of the church's educational activities in
Mississippi, disclosed that they had re-
newed an attack on DR.. Diehl which
has already resulted in an expression
of his views.
Charges Maye by IL.
Mr. Robertson and 10 other Memphis
pastors charged Dr. DiehI with hereSy.
He was subsequently examined by the
colleges Board of Directors and given
a vote of confidence in February.
Mr.. Robertson yesterday said he had
more recently criticized DR.. Diehls be-
liefs and administration in circular let
tiers to members of the Tennessee, Mis-
SisSippi, Alabama and Louisiana Synods,
which support the school Memphis
pastors said the synods, through their
power to elect the colleges directors,
could GUST DR.. Diehl if the proposed
presbytery trial does not develop or re-
suits in acquittal.
Dr. Diehl has denied all the charges
and has asserted his faith in the essen
tial tenetS of the church.
