It's a Great One.

The Hickman Bros, with superb
company, will produce ''Down and Up"
at the Reynolds opera house Nov. 2. If
the old adage, Laugh and grow fat"
counts for anything at all, it will be
safe to predict that anyone who has the
pleasure of witnessing this performance
will increase In avoirdupois. From the
rise Of the curtain until its final fall the
spirit Of mirth and fun prevails, calling
forth prolonged laughter. Down and
up is an acrobatic farce comedy con-
structed on scale differing in many
ways from the average farce comedy
and 1t is refreshing to know that the
art Of genuine fun making on the stage,
with comedy gymnastics and humor
coupled with novel scenic effect is not a
thing of the past.
