Sykesville is to be regarded on
Thursday evening, December 80, at
the Lyceum by very laughable
comedy called Whats Next given by
the well-known Dramatic Club, which
like it's beneficiary the Baseball Club
has made several hits in this town.
The scene opens with our versatile,
Mr.. Warfield teaching school and the
scholars include Sykesville's young set,
dressed appropriately in costumes
ranging from six to sixteen. 1t would
be we'll to state here that the young
est and loudest baby in the bunch will
be our well-known actor, Mr.. Hill,
who heretofore has only eSsayed the
role of English lords. The scene in
the second act is laid in New York
where our teacher and his brightest
pupil, Miss Gombel, of Baltimore, are
surrounded by the best dramatic tai
ent in Sykesville, all interested in the
making of Poke's Pine Potion. The
stage in the third act will be divided
in half, one side to be +Poke's Pine
Potion Laboratory and the other, Mr..
Madder's studio. The great feature
in this act is to see how the stage can
be divided and still leave a visible
sign of the halves. 1t is here that we
call upon our many patrons Of this
vicinity to stretch their imaginations
and help with applause those over the
footlights who will probably be walk
ing on air. Put all joking aside the
management has gotten together
great cast and the low comedy of the
many parts insures many laughs that
go with this holiday season.
