Of THE Drunkard". melodrama
Of the gaslight era that has been
running steadily in one theater or
another in this country for 103
years. N
This production, a product of
the days when actors were re-
auired to ''emote" with all they
had and the audience Kissed the
villain; and cheered the hero, was
carefully preserved in its tradi-
u>nals style laid down by thespi-
ans ola 'by-gone day.
The cast of the Players were
called upon to display exagger-
ateds histrionics that are entirely
unfamiliar to present day modes
Of acting. 1t is this overriding Of
stage business" that makes the
play so screamingly funny.
MAZDA Lazorovichi, who direct.
ed. the play, deserves a great
amount of credit for the coaching

The Garden Scheme" was ;
boon during the war in stimulat
ling interest in increasing the
food supply, Lady Graham said
Most Of the big estates were
) short number of gardeners"
she said. AT first we thought
that we'd have to abandon the
whole scheme because there
just weren't enough people to
keep the gardens weed-free.
Then we decided to go ahead
with the scheme anyway be-
J. cause if a garden had been in
perfect condition it would have
looked very unpatriotic."
Among the most popular gar
dens are, of course, Balmoral
which was one of Queen Vic
toria's favorite castles. and CLAIMS
pronounced "Glams") which was
started in the 18th Century, has
a tradition-laden history, and was
the family home of Queen Eliza
beth before her marriage. Auch-
incruive and its hanging gardens
originally belonged to the Oswald
family, and was once the home. of
Richard Oswald who as minister
plenipotentiary negotiated the
1882 treaty with the United
States. Inverewe on Loeb Eve
is a great garden showplace with
hundreds of species of South Afri-
can, Chinese and South American
plants.

According to the Rev. Mr..
Frank, who spent "a years and
eight months in Japan, the Jap
anese, minus the influence of a
minority of ''war- lords, are a
peace-loving people, highly edu-
Gated and trained down through
the ages to be humble"
The Rev. Mr.. Frank is a ma
tive of Davidson county, being
born there on May s, 1871. He
graduated from Western Mary
land college in June, 189, and
shortly after accepted his first
pastorate at what is now the
First Methodist church in Win
ston-Salem.
While in Japan, Rev. Frank
said he was occupied by three
primary interests. First was his
preaching, which was done in
the japanese language. Another
was his teaching of the English
tongue in the schools, and that
of auditing.
Re. and Mrs. Frank are very
active today despite their i'm
posed retirement. While Rev.
Frank has no regular pastorate,
