In short, whether you did or didn It,
you I'll know what the foregoing all
means II you see 'Tangled in Texas
the Friars' Club play at the l. o. o. F.
opera house on the evening of Friday,
July 2. There Is all OF this and more
in "Tangled in Texas The play is
not one of cowboys and ranchmen in
their characteristically rough and un-
cultured life of the southwest, but is
the direct reyerse-a play of today that
is uproariously funny from beginning to
end and which abounds in witty lines
and ludicrous situations of the highest,
cleanest order.
All the action of the piece takes place
in the living room of Max Juniper g
home at the Tau Cross ranch near Hous-
ton, Texas. 1t is there where the
tangles occur. To relate here just what
occurs would be like telling tales out
of school and the story of the play will
be told best by the members of the cast
themselves in their delineation of their
various roles week from Friday night.
Rev. Bush has the part of Jim
Larrabee, sheriff, and his effort to land
couple of .diamond theives'' bring
him prominently into the plot and en-
tangles the corpulent minion of the
law ere he becomes aware of the COM
plications and pitfalls which lurk about
him. Jim works in and out of the deal
all right and of course in the end the
the law is unheld and Jim is in a fine
way to be reelected at the next cleo
tion by handsome majority. Those
who have seen Rev. Bush in previous
plays, especially where ne assumed
comedy role, should not fail to attend
the performance of "Tangled in
Texas for in this bill Rev. Bush has
the best part he has ever essayed here.
If Walter Ben Hare, the author of
: the piece, could see Gilbert Eimers as
"Alonzo Willing,o when the play is
produced next week he would undoubt-
