SEPTEMBER MORN
A DECIDED SUCCESS

In September Morn as the open
ing of the season for the road shows,
the Auditorium made an excellent Sc
lection A house, the biggest that has
greeted musical comedy in Hatties-
burg for many months, attested this
fact on Saturday night, when for more
than two and a half hours, an appre-
ciative audience applauded and laughed
at the rapid fire comedy.
September Morn is girl, song,
farce, and dance show throughout
constructed purely to entertain. 1t
did. An extraordinarily good company
or principals, and a good chorus, in
all nearly so persons, composed the
cast.
Carl George, as Rudolph Plastic, the
principal comedian, was far above the
average comedian seen in musical
comedy. He also possessed good
voice. John Patten, as Willie Bunken,
another of the principals, received
much applause from his singing.
Joe Taylor, as Argentina" the
worlds greatest tango dancer, was a
diminutive bit of humanity, graceful
in the extreme. The singing of Curt
Vance also was we'll received, as was
that of Vera LaVere.
The story of September Morn" is
woven about the famous painting. TWO
impostors claim to be origfnators, one
Rudolph Plastic, owner of an art stu
dio who knows nothing of art, insists
that he is the originator and painted
the famous picture, while Immediately
upon the scene arrives an actress who
boasts she is the originator an engages
a press agent to circulate broadcast
that she is the painter. The compli-
cations provoke world of mirth while
the two imposters are lodging each
other, and to make the situation more
ludicious an army officer by chance
meets and becomes infatuated with
the actress He discovers the fact
that she is a good friend of his wife
which goes to- entangle the situation
and produce world of laughter
The scenic production is beyond all
expectations and the costumes were a
riot of color The company numbered
nearly fifty people and the large beau
ty chorus appeared to advantage in
many dashing song numbers and en-
sembles.

made for stoves. This metal not only

and sheep may have access to husked-
out cornfields. In certain sections
where losses of cattle have been ex-
perienced in the past from the social
ed cornstalk disease farmers should
consider this fact before turning the
cattle into such cornfields. AS the
winter advances, open the bars to
shelters, feed racks, and grain
troughs.
Corn silage will be invaluable at
this time, especially for cattle and
sheep. Keep the feed racks filled
with corn stover, hay and straw, but
do not be wasteful in the feeding.
The amount of grain to put in the
trough can not definitely be given.
The same should vary in accordance
with severeness of winter and condi-
tion of stock. This is a point that
can only be decided in the feed lot.
To permit the stock to go entirely
without concentrates at this time
would be grave mistake, and in all
probability make impossible the task
