FOR LOCAL SHOW
"The Runaways" Produced BY
Bennington Cast
TO BE REPEATED TONIGHT
Welfare Players Scored Another IN
Their All Success Enter
tainment Series

One of the largest and most en-
thusiastic audiences ever gathered in
the opera house last night saw, en-
joyed and approved the presentation
of THE Runaways," given by the
Welfare Players, Bennington's popu-
lar and successful home talent dra-
matte club.
Every seat was taken and only a
few seats remain unsold for tonight
when the presentation will be repeat
ed 1t was only by giving the enter
tainment two nights that the Wei
fare Players could accommodate the
friends and patrons won by their re-
peated successes.
It would be easy to crticise any
dramatic and musical production,
whether amateur or professional but
when home people, busy and interest
ed in their regular work and with
nightly little time to spare take the
trouble and go through the hard train
ing and sacrific OF convenience and
comfort necessary to put on as good
an entertainment as The Run
aways", each and every one of them
deserves the warmest commentator

ing to extend to the. following cast;

Some of them did a little better
than the others but all deserve more
than generous credit This particular
reporter of The Banner thinks that
the men in the cast averaged up a 1T
tie better than the women which is
unusual, as the men generally have
to confess that the women outdo
them in amateur theatrcals.
The songs and dances were especi-
ally good in every detail The dance

as was ever seen on the local stage.
