Text transcribed from caption: RECREATES NEW TESTAMENT PERSONALITIES #s-3195 CLEVELAND -- The Rev. Franklin D. Butchart believes that the best way to bring the Bible to his audiences is through a recreation of its great personalities. Garbed in costumes of the Biblical ages he gives vivid impersonations of John, Peter or Paul. Mr. Butchart, who is minister of the Glenville Christian church here, delivers his readings in many churches of Greater Cleveland. He credits his wife with much of the success of his presentations as she supervises his makeup and stage technique. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (JT-CLEVE-MES-4B-6-W-B)
