Actress Webster Talks On Negroes

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.

Miss Webster, whose company was among the first to employ Negroes together with whites in major roles, also cautioned against using members of minorities in parts artificially in conflict with the author's conception of the role. She also warned that attempts to suppress productions which showed individual members of minorities in an unfavorable light can be carried to an extreme which could make all theatre ridiculous.
