Me" is going to be the biggest thing
ever produced in Winnemucca. The
date, you will remember, is tomorrow
evening, at the Nixon. Anna Held is
said to be the sole owner of the pro-
duction. and it is therefore not sur
prising that it should score as a fash
ion show also. The French star has
ideas of dress and scenic creations
which have always been factor in
the success of attractions in which
she has appeared. The press agent
declares Miss Held designed all the
scenery as we'll as the gowns which
will be exhibited tomorrow night, and
that the result is IAN amazing har-
mony of color, which runs riot with
clean fun and numerous song hits
throughout the three acts, the scenes
of which are laid in Paris, and in
which chorus girls of exceptional
beauty and ravishing Establishments
disport themselves in an almost end
less procession of unique and bizarre
creations"
