'|NICROBE OF LOVE"
DRAWS BIC CROWD

Bright and sparkling was "The Mi
crobe of Live" musical comedy
given at the School Auditorium last
Wednesday night under the auspices
of the American Legion. Some scicn-
lists maintain that there are friendly
germs as well as deadly ones, but the
author of this clever reduction,
Molie Moore Godbold, went the scien-
fists one better and wove a charming
comdy about microbe which was
more than friendly--a real love pro-
duccr. Miss Caryl Brigham of the
Wayne p. Sewell Lyceum & Produc-
ing Company of Atlanta, Ga, who
ably directed the comedy, and starred
as Madam Hymen Cupid, injects a
love virus into the most chronic
bachelors and spins,crs with rapid
sentimental results that lead straight
to the matrimonial altar.
The performance was remarkably
lacking in amatcurishness and it
moved in merry quick step, one
amusing scene following another, in
terspersed with catchy melodies and
choruseS which were pleasing alike to
the ear and eye.
The local hits added greatly 20 the
merriment of the evening and the lead
ing characters all we'll sustained their
parts. The leader of the Spinstcrs'
Club, Miss Corrnne Barfield as Pris-
ella Prunes, the head of the bachelors
hosts, Billy Bachelor, and the gifted
Miss Brigham, dispenser Of the love
mlcrobc, were excellent.
