was almost cold enough to freeze the

Gibson Family Reunion.

For the benefit of the Aid Socitey
of Grace Methodist church.
The home talent musical comedy
Gibson Reunion, to be given January
1917, for the benefit of the Aid So
ciety will be the finest amateur per-
formance ever given in Union.
The production is given in two acts
the first act showing the Gibson fam
lily busily engaged in their prepara-
tions for the reunion. Mrs. Gibson,
who is suffragette, rules the situa-
tion with high hand, and especially
sways her meek and dutiful husband
into quiet submission in every turn.
Carolina, Mrs. Gibson's favorite
daughter, with her dignified polished
college manners, makes an interest
ing contrast with her sisters happy
go-lucky, don't-care personality. The
plot of the comedy brings out many
interesting situations, yet the real
fun in the production is brought
about through the henpecking by
Mrs. Gibson and the ludicrous stupid
ity of Irish Molly and stammering
Billy.
In the second act of the produc-
ton, Mrs. Gibson entertains her rel
atives and guests with an elaborate
program of musical numbers. This
program makes up, also the greatest
feature of the entertainment. 1t will
consist of thre large children's cho-
ruses and about eight choruses with
young people. All the music is
among the latest and catchiest, and
the dances as given by the instructor,
Miss Anna L. Paul, to be sent by

are amongst the most artistic seen
on the professional stage.
