Strings Along", with direction by

and Daily Frederick, of Roxboro,
probably because their roles requir
ed them to appear as persons of
mature age.

ice Rimmer, Eloisc Rimmer, Betsy
Taylor, r. O. Whitt, Bobby Boothe,
George Wilson. Nancy Wilson, John
H. Blanks and Nell Pulliam, and
members of the technical staff were:

H. Blanks, Lena Dunn, Dorothy
