First Christian Plans Tableau A tableau of the Last Supper will be presented again this year in the sanctuary of The First Christian Church on Maundy Thursday of this week, at 7:30 p.m. The tableau will be directed by Miss Blanche Williams, assisted by Mrs. Earle Boyd and members of the Worship Commission of the church.

Frazier, Joe Liechty, Frank McKeehan, Walter Jeffries, Charles Poe and Willis Clodfelter. The men will represent modern-day disciples of Jesus Christ, and anyone of the congregation might identify himself as a present-day Christian having this “Upper Room’’ experience. The tableau was first presented in the local church last year. The script and setting is similar to the one written and used by Dr. Wales E.
