Home Talent Play

The play put on at the Ameri-
can Theatre Tuesday night by
local talent under the direction
of H. R, Snedeker and Marie
Fuller was favored with a packed
house and every one present was
well pleased with the play and
performers. Some of the locals
made a decided hit, among whom
was DR.. Ned Carlstead. From
the way he presented the part
of a justice.of the peace it is sus-
pected that at some time he had
filled such an Office, or had as
pirations for the future.
The receipts were about $50
and the net to the U. D. C's for
park purposes was about SIG.
If the roads had not been in
such bad condition there is little
doubt but that the house would
have been entirely too small to
accommodate the playgoers. Every
one was well satisfied with the
Trail of the Lonesome Pine as
presented and Director Snedeker
accomplished great things with
a lot of raw recruits in a very
short time.
