SEWARD COUNTY WILL
RAISE BOND QUOTA
Work Proceeding Slowly But Indica-
tions Point to Successful
Completion.

The Victory Bond campaign is not
creating much stir, but work is 60
ing quietly on and results so far have
been very satisfactory.
AS weather conditions have been
bad it is impossible to secure the
results, as few reports have been
turned in as complete.
There is going to have to be some
digging along toward the close, but
the workers feel confident that the
people of the county will not fail
them.
The quota this time is light and
should be raised easily. And it would
not hurt anything to oversubscribe.
This is to be the last call and it would
look good to the outside world for
Seward county to go over few
thousand.
Now is the time to do your buying
if you want the bonds for the V
loan is the last, and you cannot "help
next time"

MAJESTIC HAD A BIG
HOUSE TUESDAY NIGHT

Liberal folks are fast discovering
that the Majestic is putting on the
class of pictures they want to see,
and last Tuesday night a record
crowd saw Nazimova in "Eye for
Eye" Every seat was taken for the
first performance and the sidewalk
was crowded with those waiting to
get in.
And everyone got their moneys
worth. The play was of absorbing
interest, and Mile. Nazimova was
fully up to previous efforts. These
plays are altogether different from
the usual, and Nazimova is also diff
ferent.
4 While it is impossible to get plays
of this class for every night, for the
reason that they are not made that
fast, Manager LeMonnier is getting
as near their equal as possible, and
you can always see good show at
the Majestic.

HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS MADE
A HIT WITH OPERETTA
A Packed House Greeted Local Tai
ent Who Presented "The
Bo'sn's Bride"

The much talked of operetta "The
Bo'sn's Bride" was given at the Ma
jestic Theatre Wednesday evening to
packed house.
The play was given by the Chorus
of Liberal High School, and was di-
rected by Miss Irene Myer, instruc-
tor in music in the high school.
The play embodied very pretty
little romance, and excellent judg-
ment was used in selecting the cast.
Miss Lucille Skinner in the role
of Kitty Adair was admirably adapt
ed to the part. She sings exception
ally well, and carried difficult part
thru in manner to win her audience.
Miss Sarah Snow, charming little
lady with a sweet voice, appeared as
Dorothy, as friend of Kitty Adair,
and she too made hit.
Barbara, high school girl, was
played by Dorotha Farmer, and she
was very popular little girl, and a
very winsome one.
Mrs. Brown, an admirable chaper-
on, was played to perfection by Miss
Virginia Grimwood. She possesses a
clear, musical voice, but she just
couldn't look old.
Clifford Leete as Dick Erne, Bo'sn
of the U. S. S. Barnacle, could not
have been improved upon. He has
good voice and played his part ex-
ceptionally well.
William Edison as Tom Tupper,
Bo'sn's Mate, was right there both
in singing and acting, and was a
favorite with the audience from the
start.
George Spradling was a scream as
Tim Shannon, an old sailor. Mighty
few professionals who have visited
Liberal have anything on George.
He can sing some and act lot.
T. ]. Smith Jr., coxswain of the
captains gig, looked the part, and
the ease with which he navigated the
deck, of the Barnicle one would have
imagined him seasoned seaman.
One of the pleasing "stunts" of tht
evening was the "Sailor's Hornpipe'
danced by Vernon Engle and Frank
Highland.
The principals were assisted by q
chorus composed of: Gertrude Ma
lone, Mary Jackson, lila Hill, Vera
Knisley, Leta Nickle, Ruth Cure,
Ethel Davis, Winifred Evans, Dessia
Miller, Mary Wilkinson, Ralph Bane,
Vernon Engle, Dale Nichols, Robert
Ellis, Clifford Sawyer, Leo Miller,
Frank Highland, Rhylow Cott, Fran
els Harnden, and everyone filled their
particular place admirably. There
are some mighty good voices among
the pupils of Liberal high school,
and such entertainments help to de-
velop them.
Miss Meyer is to be congratulated
upon the success Of her effort in this
direction. She has expended lot
of energy that the presentation of the
play might be successful and we are
pleased to say that it was complete
success.
