serious in nature. 1t will be presented
with an entire local cast of sixty
people, and rehearsals will begin TINS

of those who have appeared in the 1or-

"The Spatans." a musical comedy by
MIR. Denni. which was successfully pro-

sional production. Mr.. Denni estao-
Nshed a country wide reputation when
he published the now famous rag.
"Oceana Roll He has since written
and produced two musical comedies.

ployed as a cabaret entertainer at

in the city and has taken charge OF the
chorus work. He will have supervision
over the entire production.
