One of the feature local talent
events of the season will be Cupid
in Posterland," to be presented by
the Woodmen of the World May 8.
Over co people will make up the
cast and there is every indication
the production will be one of highest
merit. Rehearsals are being held at
the Business college, and from work
done in the early stages of rehearsing
there can be no doubt the play will
be a decided success. The entertain
ment will be lively with comedy and
excellent music will be the strongest
feature. Every line is sparkling
while the tuneful melodies are
catching and will no doubt be
whistled here for weeks after the
night of production. James w. Evans,
connected with the entertainment,
has arrived in the city.
On Wednesday. May 6, the Wood
men of the World will come for
ward in the role of amusement pur-
veyors and offer for public favor
Cupid in Posterland." the big must
eau show which is now in rehearsal
by local amateur singers and come
dams.
Geo. NJ. Cohan was the originator
of the idea to present nondescript
fun and music in a form that would
appeal only to the amusement-loying
portion of the public. and Cupid in
Posterland' is nothing more. 1t is
far from being classical and the mu-
sic and characters are presented
with but the one purpose. that is, to
give the biggest possible evening OF
enjoyment to be found in any one
similar presentation.
The characters are interesting, the
songs and music of the cleverest and
newest variety, and success" is
stamped all over this proposed pro-
duction.
Posterland people will be offered
in the personages of Old King Cole,
Lady Bountiful Foxy Grandpa. Pas-
ter Brown. Boy Blue. Miss Muffit.
Bo-Peep, JILL Jack. Mary Jane. A.
Piker Franklin, Laughing Jim, Hap
py Hooligan. Policeman. Mrs. Korz-
enjammer. Pretending Parcy and
Cupid.
