Neil Twomeys masterpiece, when
the Harvest Days are Over" was pre-
scented at the Coliseum last evening
before fair-sized audience. The play
is along the lines of the rural comedy
dramas and was full of interesting sit

a musical specially. Dan Malloy told
some funny stories in droll manner
and Hazel Corrine gave a pleasing
speciality. The orchestra was excellent
and rendered several fine selections
and the band concert in front of the

minds that the winner is to receive Is
