IS ENTIRE SUCCESS
High School Play Is One of the Best
Local Talent Numbers Ever seeu
In PendlctOn.

A good sized audience last night
witnessed the high school glee clubs
production of polished Pebbles" The
play was one of the best local talent
numbers seen here in years, the music
being of good quality and the comedy
being far above amateur standing.
Some of the people even thought that
Charlie Chaplin was loose on the
stage and were greatly surprised to
find that it was only Zoe Carney. a
real, genuine, high school student
He displayed such originality in his
parts that Chaplin himself would
have been almost ashamed to have
played alongside him and he had the
audience in continual roar of laugh

alongside Carney and Fleta Hail play
