Big Military Play
Local Actors Please Large Ar
mory Audience Monday
Evening
MRS. SHOWALIER COACHES
Musical and Dance Specialities
Between Acts Enjoyed by
Audience

Marching Through Georgia,
a military play was presented
at the Armory Monday evening
under the auspices of Company
L. The cast was made up en-
tirely of local talent, carefully
coached by Mrs. Showalter. The
presentation was given before
a fair sized audience which
seemed most appreciative of the
work done.
The cast was made up of boys
from the Company assisted by
Misses Adah Tenney, and Grayce
McAllister and Mrs. Brand.
While all parts were well played,
several of the actors displayed
a finish not usually found in
amateur work. Frank Theiringas
the heavy william" in the part
of Amos Mobberly did some ex-
cellent character work as an
overseer Of the Uncle Toms Ca
bin type. While it is not compile
mentary to say that Mr.. Their
ing looked the part, his costume
and general appearance, aided by
a very good speaking voice,
helped him greatly in properly
reading his lines. Mrs. Brand as
Mrs. Gilroy did a clever persona
ton ofaquick witted Irish wom-
an, which was probably the most
professional bit of acting done
and was charming all through
the play. Mrs. Brands opposite,
1 Major Wilson, the flower of
Scott's Army in Mexica," was
splendidly played by Oliver
Steele, who put. ginger plus into
his character sketch of the pep
perry old Southern major. Glenn
Gold as Colonel Warren made a
gallant and soldierly Yankee Of
, fficer although he failed to grow
wildly enthusiastic about his
love-making. The garden scene
with Miss Tenney and Mr.. Their
ing, was a good piece of work
: en- the part of all three actors,
Mr.. Colds fall after the shoot
ing and his supposed-to-be-death
speech to his sweetheart being
especially well done. Miss Ten
ney as a southern belle with the
! usual Yankee lover, and Miss
McAllister, the spicy little Texas
nurse. did good character work.
The part of the black imp,
Amos, was played by John Glas-
SEQ with his usual dash and snap,
his dialect and make I'D being
: most realistic. Arthur REYNOLDS
: took rather difficult rart well.
and Arthur Hassenstab and Ar
chic Horn as southern officer and
physician were both pleasing.
! Minor parts were we'll taken by
Ernest Gallea, Edwin Bollum
!, and Selmer Veldey.
While the plot Of the play is
ordinary and lacking many of
: the essentials Of reel drama, it
J has some good lines and permits
of realistic ch aracterization m
der war conditions. Mrs. Sho-
walter is to be commended in
> directing her cast in so credit
able performance with so few
rehearsals.
u Between the acts several spe-
cialities were put on among
them a whistling solo by Miss
Ellen Horn, a vocal solo by John
Glassco, and a chorus and dance
! by several members Of the cast

Fine Farm House
Destroyed By Fire
Modern House of Casper Green
Near Morgan Scene of Thurs
days Confagration
CAUSED BY GAS FUMES
Loss of $4,000 Partially Covered
by Insurance; To be Rebuilt
at Once

There was considerable excite
ment in Morgan Thursday morn
ing at seven o'clock, when the
fire bell sounded and the alarm
was sent in that the Casper
Green farm residence was on
fire. A large crowd was soon at
the scene of the fire to lend their
assistance in extinguishing the
flames, but it was seen from the
first that all efforts were useless,
and the fire department could
do nothing as there was no hose
long enough to reach, the house
being a quarter of a mile east
of Morgan.
Gas Caused Explosion
The fire originated in the base
ment. Mrs. Green had just re-
turned from the cellar where she
had replenished the fire with
some wood and fresh coal; then
closing the drafts to the furnace,
she joined the family at break
fast in the dining room. Almost
Immediately there was a slight
noise as of an explosion in the
basement. Upon investigation it
was found that the accumula-
tion of coal gas had exploded,
tearing the whole top of the fur
mace off and setting fire to the
ceiling of the basement. Mrs.
Green attempted to extinguish
the flames with a few pals of
water which were standing near,
but she was unable to endure
the smoke and the gas fumes,
so Selling can of kerosene near
the door, she made her escape.
The heating plant was hot
air furnace and soft coal was
used, so that the smoke and gas
assembled through the register in
every room in the building, max
ing it impossible for any one tc
; enter to save any of the furni.
ture or clothing, except those
worn by the family. Mr.. Green

hold effects and the clothing Of
the family, which consist OF
the father, mother, daughter
: and two sons, and also that Of
, Joe Welter, high school stu
dent, who boarded at the Greer
home, were entirely destroyed.
; The loss in the basement wa:
unusually large, including cleo
trio washer, canned fruits, vege
tables and fuel. Some valuable
papers were also burned, includ
ing a deed to farm Mr.. Greer
had purchased recently. also ;
quantity of old coins which n
has been collecting for years.
A Big Loss
The loss is estimated as beini
nearly $4,000. The building wa
insured for $500 by the St
Paul Fire and Marine Insuranc
Co. Fortunately the wind car
ried the flames away from tn
other farm buildings and the ha,
and strawstacks surroundin,
them.
