search Coach Mrs. II. c. Beebe has
secured the best amateur talent In
these diggings, consisting of few
old timers who have achieved success
before the footlights and several
new faces of equal calibre. As a

aggregation ever before assembled
together and after the appearance on
the evening of the 18th, the members
of the Amateur Club will hold a
prominent place in the eyes of our

every effort to present a play that
will be one continual scream Of
laughter from beginning to end. AfIil-
lated with the company is the ANA
teur Orchestra Of seven pieces COM
posed of players who can play in a
way your daddy did fifty years ago.
The NEWS correspondent doesn't
want to get in the limelight as
