Supt. Crumpton
Addresses P. T. A
The subject discussed before the
Red Springs Parent Teacher Asso
ciation at .the monthly meeting Fri
day afternoon in the high school
building was relation of the teach-
and the eonjEytoty to each other.
Mrs. J. 0 .McClelland, of Maxton,
made' a very forceful address on the
topic “What Should the Community
Expect of a Teacher?” Superinten
dent W. B. Crumpton, of the Lum
berton schools, spoke from the teach
er’s • standpoint, enumerating the
things that a teacher expects
from a community. The sincerity
of the speakers and the careful pre

Reich, students of Flora MacdopeJd,

Preaching Mission
At Episcopal Church
Here This Week
A Preaching Mission is being con
ducted at the Episcopal church this
week by three young members of the
Church Army. The Church Army is
an organization that was started in
England fifty years ago and is sim
ilar to the Salvation Army except
hhat their services are only conducted
in churches. This is a new organi
zation in America and is eager to
gain the support of the people.
The people of Red Springs should
get to know these splendid young
men and catch some of their radiant
spirit. Captain Fred Turner of the
English Church Army, is the leader,
and is assisted by Captain William
Davey Bence and Cadet Wiliam Hos
king, both of the American Church
Army. Here is Youth with a real
Gospel of the living Christ, their
messages ring with sincerity and au
thority and every young person
should hear them.
The services are very informal and
last but one hour commencing each
night at 8 o’clock. Everybody is giv-

Mrs. Loretto Bailey, the author
of “Job’s _ Kinfolks” and “Black
Water,” will again play the part of
Kizzie, the old grandmother, which,
has, won exceptional praise from
critics wherever she has played. The
Billboard says of her work: “Mrs.
Bailey is a splendid actress, playing
the role of the grandmother in her
own play. It was amazing to wit
ness such apparently seasoned tech- —
nique in one so young. Indeed, her-
performance would have done credit
to a veteran.”
Muriel Wolff essays three parts
on The Playmaker bill. She plays
the Old Woman in the negro comedy
by Paul Green; Kate, the mother, in
“Job’s Kinfolks,”, and “Black Wa
ter;” and Magnolia in Mrs. Coffin’s
hilarious comedy, “Magnolia’s Man.”
Miss Wolff is a fine addition to the
Playmaker group. Last year" she re
ceived training at the American
Academy off Dramatic Art and has
been with the Playmakers through
out the present year.
With Mrs. Gertrude Coffinsin the
leading role of her own play, “Mag

two playwrights playing leading-
roles in their own plays o n this
tour. Mrs. Coffin is well, known for
her inimitable portrayals of comic
mountain women. In one of her for

evening, repeating the same hilar

South Carolina and Tennessee.
