other people's faults and if people
are big enough to live on a high
plane.
Attractive do orations in the Val
entine motif were arranged on the
tables and thn ughnut the lower hull
and class room in which the ban
quet was held. The red d white
color scheme dominated the decora
tions.
Mrs. M. B. Garrett was toastmis

singing. The welcome was extended
by the president of tin' P.-T.A.,

A MACBETH PROIM ( TION,
by Johni MasrfirUI. lit pages.
New York, Macmillan Company.
SI.75.
It is rather auspicious Ihal. at the
time Maurice Evan ’ (I. I. produc
tion of "Hamlet" is receiving in
terest and applause on Broadway.
“A Macbeth Production" 1 pubii-hc.l
by England's poet laureate— that the
turn from 1he aetital horrors and
bloodshed of war should take an Ho
ward swing in the production of a
great utterance deman iing that jus
tice be done for the perpetration of
horror and bloodshed is promising.
To Masefield, the poet and dra
matist, come a group ol young men.
actors, musicians, cratlsmcn. just re
leased from war. solicitous for atlvic
on the production of a repetoir of
plays to be given throughout Eng
land on their specially built port
able stage. This short hook of sixly
four pages contains Masefield's sug
gestions for a Macbeth production,
't is divided into two parts: sug
gestions for the performance as .1
whole, and notes on the production
by scenes.
In Part I Masefield places before
hem the means of fulfilling the great
iramati.st's theme 111 truly great
ooetry. "How glad I am." ho says,
that you are going to bring poetry
o the thousands who are starved ol
it, by long years of war and some
generations of stupidity. You have
■omradeship; and the power of a
omradeship in art is almost the
treatest power: it may become the
freatest power." He discusses the
listorical background and sources
if the plot. He suggests an adaptation
T the modern stage to resemble the
Elizabethean, with a fore-stage, mid
stage. and full stage to correspond to
the outer, inner and upper ol
-hakespeare's day. Properties, light
ng. costuming, music are so ade
luatelv suggested that the presenta
ion is actually before you. He sug
gests the division into three group
ngs of scenes or acts. Throughout
here must be ‘suspense of an agon
zing kind; suspense, first, lest Mac
jet h shall fling away his soul: sus
jense, in all the rest, lest he should
je left in triumph, with justice not
lone upon the shedder of blood."
In Part II the production notes
.'or each scene are definite, sug
testive, and adaptable. They form
in invaluable aid to professional an 1
nnateur producers and students of
Shakespeare. To all who remember
'Macbeth” (and most of us who has
ompleted even a high school English
•ourse can ewer forget it'.’), the story
ives again in vivid portrayal, earn
:eene clearly visualized. Without the
lappings of technical phra-oology,
he text is a living, readable produc
ion. To tiie mind's eye. il is verit
ible television.—Shannon Morton.

WRITTEN ON THE WIND,
by Robert Wilder, 338 pises.
New York. O. I’. Putnams
Sons. S’.73.
Andrew Whitfield built the ''hu
gest. by God, house in North t aro
lina" and accumulated a forum- in
the making of cigarettes so large
that spendthrifts of three generation
could not dispose of it. “Written tin
the Wind" i tin- story of hi grand
children, Cary and Ann-Charlottc.
and their dose friend, iice-e Benton,
who was boi n a r ha re-cropper but
alter his lfith year lived a a mem
ber of the Whitfield family
Cassius Whitfield, son of old An
drew. respected the m’Ticy In
father made, but he and Baura. m
wife, had no control over the wild,
irresponsible children who r esca
pades rc-ultcd m Cary's habitual
drunkenness and Ann-Charlottc
loose behavior. Lillith I’ayn -. Broad
way singer, married Cary lor low
hut found herself wife to a drunken
man-child fearful of all that might
happen and sensitive to the brutal
frankness of his calculating sister.
Intricately involved in the revolting
lives of the two people, basically
decent Benton found it impossible to
live a normal respectable life.
Although it is immensely in
teresting. We wouid like to think
there are not such people as this,
but the characterizations are so pow
erful and forceful that we know they
could exist. As "Tobacco Road
pictured the share-cropper in all
their distastefulness, so “Written < in
'I lie Wind" gives all the sordines
of the wealthy cigarette family.
Robert Wilder placed his story
in Winton. N. C. There is such a
town, which is the county scat of
northeastern Hertford county. In;'
Winton i.- a c itton town and we feel
that Mr. Wilder should have pieke..
an altogether fictitious town or else
one located in the tobacco section
of the state.
North Carolinians will hardly take
pleasure in such a novel written
about their beloved state but fair
minded individuals will recognize
that such tilings could happen an
such people could live, even in North
Carolina. It is a stirring, tragic !i->
vel. revealing anew the depths b
which human beings can fall when
burdened with too much money an ;
no incentive for decent living.
