BEN GREET PLAYERS

The ladies of Deming certainly are
IL be- congratulated on securing the
Ben Greet Player, for last Friday
evenings attraction at the Crystal
Theater. The artists have been be-
fore the public for some time and
their success has been uniform
among the lovers of the classic
drama. Perhaps the interpretation
of Shakespeare Comedy of Err
rors' was never more enjoyed than
by those who attended the perform
ance, and those who failed to attend
missed the play of the season.
Ralph Bingham, the well known
entertainer, will appear April % m-
der the same auspices. This attrac-
ton will be the equal of any that
has appeared in the course thus far.
