It is delightful little comedy, full
of mirth and music from beginning
to end, and is called "Ma Sweet and
Her Gearls".
Two good instructors, Mrs. Fitz-
Gerald and Miss Newman from At
lanta, are coaching the play and the !
rehearsals promise a hearty laugh for
young and old, which one needs in !,
these strenuous times.
It will be given for the benefit of
the National Special Aid society,
which means every penny cleared
goes to buy material for hospital gar
ments, surgical dressings, bandages
and comforts of all kinds for our
! soldiers when sick and wounded in
the foreign hospitals, for warm knit
ted articles with which to keep our
sailors from freezing on the ocean
during the cold months and for can.
, ned goods for our poor and needy in
l case of scarcity next winter.
