Bringing il Up Father y I { y.

Bringing up Father, !" a musical
comedy based on; George McManls's
cartoons now running In over rye
hundred daily and Sunday news eWs.2
papers throughout the United States State
and Canada, will be the next attrac-
tion at the Opera House Tonight.
The best recommendation that can
possibly be given Bringing UP
Fathern IS the fact that Mr.. Gus Hill,
is the producer: If the cartoon dids' Z
not show pronounced assurance te'1.a o1
success as a. play, Mr.. Hill iI never nyf' S
would have considered the PROPOSE
ton to. produce it for the stage
Theatrical history gives reason for s
the assertion that a Gus Hill play y
a success before the first curtain rises.
So much for experience and judg-
ment as to what the public demands
in the. shape of musical entertaln- :
ment. r. -
Mr.. Hill is the first producer to In.
troduce Vaudeville cast into q mu-
sical comedy. In fact Bringing up
Fathern is a high class Vaudeville
show with comedy plot, inter
spread with specialties and ginger
ed" by the inevitable chorus OF fpretty
girls, who sing and prance about 10
connect the various Vaudeville acts.
A good idea, isn't it? Bringing up
Father" was designed to succeed and
it will. 1t is a new incentive Tor
hilarious comedy, laugh from start
to finish, and never was intended 1or
any other purpose. There's mag
nificent scenic equipment with me-
chanical and electrical effects, an al
most endless variety of pretty cos
tunes, a new one to each musical
number for the twenty-five choris-
ters. If the cartoons have ever made
you laugh, it is quite probable that
the same characters in real flesh and
blood will make you "roar". The
opportunities offered for good comedy
bv the cartoon creation, have been
taken advantage of to the fullest ex-
tent. 1t is hoped that you will never
have the trouble bringing up
Father that "Maw" and daughter"
have in McManus's clever conceit.
Secure seats now and avoid disap-
pointment. ,@..

County Attorney

Ross McLaughlin is serving
his first term in this office, Civ
ing TO it faithful service, and
the work of this ffice has been
conducted at all times with an
eye to economy and to keeping
the expenses we'll under bounds.
The law allows such latitude to
an Attorney in this office, and
if he is inclined to be reckless
with the public money he csn
be a very expensive luxury to
the taxpayers. Also, if this
Office is crooked or inclined to
make terms with criminals or
those charged with wrong do
ing, he can do great injury to
the interests of justice. Ross
Mclaughlin is square and
straight, and gives his best ef-
forts faithfully at all times to
the interests of the people of
this county. To be sure, he
doesn't always distribute pat
ronage so as to meet the ap.
pro al of all those seeking it,
but that cuts no ice with the
taxpayers, while it explains
some opposition to him. Dun

just groaning under the weight
of fried chicken, roast beef,

things too numerous to mem

till they could eat no more.
Elwin was presented with q
