Little Theatie
Play Praised
By Reviewei
By Dr. P. G. Padgett
The audience saw and heard
a sermon Tuesday night as they
attended the Kings Mountain
Little Theatre's presentation of
"The Robe."
This performance was further
evidence of the capabilities of
our Little Theatre group which
during the past three years has
given the people of this area
arama which the public has
proclaimed far above that wfoich
is ordinarily rated amateur- This
group has come of age now for
sure, and if the past sterling
presentations have not been suf
ficient to convince you ? surely
this one will.
"The Robe," as presented by
the Kings Mountain Little Thea
tre definitely asserts that this
group has passed from its infan
cy into adulthood.
If you like drama you will be
moved by "The Robe." There was
: at least one pair of wet eyes in
the audience as the death scene
of the martyred Stephen was
portrayed. Whether you are
Christian or non-Christian, you
would have been inspired with
the evidence of the power of
Christ to change the lives of
men as portrayed by the Greek
slave, Domerius, and his master,
the Tribune Marcellus. Also you
would have been impressed with
the beauty of the tntire presen
tation. The music, the lighting,
the staging, and the costuming,
as well as the character por
trayals must share equally in
this professionally presented
' drama. You would have to see
it to believe it. It is a play for
, all ? old or young, serious
t minded and light hearted alike
will enjoy "The liobe" as pre
sented by the Kings Mountain
Little Theatre. The next perfor
mance will be Saturday night,
March 28th, at 8:00 o'clock at
the high school auditorium. Af
ter that it will go an the road to
Bessemer City for presentation
at the high school auditorium
there on Tuesday, March 31st of
Holy Week ? an appropriate
date as "The Robe" portrays
some events which followed the
crucifixion of Christ.
Charleston Azaleas
Now In Full Bloom
CHARLESTON, S. C. ? Aza
leas in Charleston's famous gar
dens are in full and glorious
bloom. .
Spokesmen for Cypress, Mag
nolia and Middleton Gardens say
the period of full bloom can be
expected to last another two
weeks or more, depending on the
weather.
Unusually warm temperature
is gringing the flowers out much
faster than had been expected.
The Wisteria and the Banksia
roses, which usually bloom at dif
ferent times, are both opening
now. The lavender, purple and
white of the Wisteria blend beau
tifully with the yellow of the
roses.
P'or some strange reason, the
Fairy Lilies ar? also coming into
bloom now. These are the "Naked
Ladies", so called by Charleston's
negro flower women because of
the nakedness of the leafless
stem; there is only the lily-like
bloom at the top.
