W0MANLESS WEDDING

Tie first rehearsal of the Woman.
less Wedding was held in the Court
House Thursday night. Miss Annie
Miller. of Mississippi. who is N
charge of the play has arrived and has
begun her work Of directing. Miss
Miller has been giving the play for
FIVE years in various towns in the
South and with invariable success.
From press accounts the play is Il
matchless burlesque. coming hand il
hand with laughter holding both her
sides. Nothing appeals to the Ameri-
can sense of humor more than view
ing friends in unusual situations and
the Womanless Wedding is full CT
such situations and the parts are all
taken by local players. To see stail
business men. professional men, play
ing in the roles of wedding principals
and attendants is most amusing.
The play will be held in the Opera
House Wednesday, May 7. The money
that will be raised is to go to the Lii
brary.
