Actress Webster Talks On Negroes

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Margaret Webster, who is currently contribute in "The Three States" at the Brattle Theatre, yesterday told a group of Harvard and Radcliffe members of the Society for Minority Rights that minority groups are finding more and more employment in the theatre. The society held a reception for the actress-producer in Adams House last night.
