Show SCOTS WOULD BAN 'MACBETH' Shakespeare's Play Libel to King, Is Claim of League of Veterans of World War. New York. A resolution demanding the elimination of Shakespeare's "Macbeth" "Mac-beth" from school curriculums on the ground that It was a libel on the Scotch in its "misinterpretation In presenting pre-senting King Macbeth as a traitor and murderer," was adopted here by the League of Scottish veterans of the world war. The resolution was addressed to the Newark (N. J.) board of education, which recently barred "The Merchant of Venice" from the schools because of the alleged slander to the Jewish race. "If they have banned Shylock, I see no reason why they should not ban Macbeth," said .Ca.pt. Ian McTavish. "If the Jewish gaberdine is to be cleaned they should also remove the stain from the Scottish kilt." |
