NORMAL FACULTY
 WILL STAGE PLAY

TEMPE. Mar. 6.-Under the direction of Miss Ethyl Hartman of the depart ment of expression a cast picked from the normal school faculty will put on a play at the Goodwin Opera House on Thursday night. March IA.
 The drama chosen for this presenta- tion is one of proven success,-the high class. comparatively recent production by Booth Harrington and Harry Leon Wilson entitled, "The Man From Home" It is a play crowded with in- struction, sustaining 8 deep and un- fagging interest and permeated Wlth the spirit of Americanism. A selec- ton could scarcely have been made more appropriate for the times and more suited to the character of the actors.
 Miss Hartman has contemplated for some time utilizing the latent theatrical talent to be found in the cosmopolitan normal faculty, and it is believed she has rare treat in store for Tempe and community. Her very successful class plays in the past have shown that she can do remarkable things with the material at. hand. and ones curiosity is aroused, hot as to how much, but as to just what she will be able to do with a group of staid faculty folk.
 As the auditorium is yet unrepaired, the Goodwin theater offers the best available stage in Tempe, but it is feared that the theater will be heavily taxed to accommodate the audience that will wish to see this performance.
 Announcement regarding ticket sale and reserving seats will be made later
