The Thespians play Tuesday evening,
Jan IS, at Valley House Hall. The popu-
larity which has followed the Thespians
since their organization, "a years ago, has
been well deserved It is safe to say that
no country club has ever had greater sue
cess. A few years ago, Thos. LandOn was
chosen president and D. W. HiIdreth stage
manager. The Thespians for several years
have used Mr.. Hildreth's plays almost en-
tirely. This winter the Thespians will
play his new Western play, ''The Lone

the scenery are laid at Ward, Georgetown
