the De Soto public schools for several
years. Prof. Bliss is now at his home
in Chicago and expects to leave in q

Bliss is a young man of high attain

large audience. Every seat was taken.
''Old Glory is an original play. writ
ten by our fellow townsman, Theo. +.
Mayor. Esq, and was given under his
supervision. The REGISTER has had
more than one occasion to refer to his
literary ability and his superiority as
a playwright. This, his latest produc-
ton, while essentially differing in mat
ter and tanner from those preceding
it, marks in no less degree the genius
of the outhor, and attests his versatil-
ity. s.Old Glory" was well received
and frequently applauded-the cast as
well as the text deserving it. Orches-
trail selections and vaudeville special
ties, songs and instrumental selections,
served to pleasantly fill the waste pla-
ces between acts. The whole enter
tainment was a success from every
point of view.
