TOMORROW NIGHT
You viii Have a Delightful
Evening and Also Help
the Red Cross

Tomorrow night the big Red Cross
revival of the Elks recent smashing
hit, "Get Rich.Quick Wallingford
will be staged at the Grand with all
its former pristine glory. If such a
thing is posslule tomorrow night s per
Torrance will be even better than the
original production. 1t is hard to mag
inc anything more perfect than per
! fection. But the all-star east is all
puffed up with patriotism, and they
expect to play to big patriotic audi
ence. The psychological effect of this
combination has been to turn the bril-
liant bunch of Elk commedans into
veritable laugh producing demons, and
it is quite possible that the impossible
may happen.
For several days, now, the modest
jpress agent has been raving about
what whale of a show Walling
| ford is, and what an onslaught of
merriment tomorrow night s presenta-
ton of the great comedy will bring
with it. You can It "call" the press
agent. The Elks production of "Wall-
! ingford' is part of the history of the
town-the brightest, gladdest, happicst
page in our local theatrical lore. Pick
out any of your friends who were pres
ent when Wallingford played to
the two biggest audiences that ever
packed the Grand, and they will tell
Iyou that you must accept the state
ments of the Red Cross pen pusher at
their face value There is no come back.
Walhngford is "there!'' And
that S where you ought to be tomor-
row evening when the curtain rises.
You will be doing your country an
actual service by seeing "Get-Rich-
Quick Wallingford tomorrow. No
body but the Red Cross gets a nickle
out of the play All expenses and ser
vices connected with the production
have been donated. The whole thing is
a present to the society, and the full
one hundred per cent of the price OF
your ticket will 30 to the local Rec
Cross treasurer,
BY actual count the Elks production
of :" Walhngford" three weeks age
played to more than two thirds of tho
theater going population of Salem. TC
get full house for the Red Cross to
morrow night we have to count partly
of course, on the other one third, bur
mostly on the great bulk Of citizen;

see this play, and who, we feel, vii
take advantage of the opportunity q
seeing it for nothing-by contributing
