TICKETS FOR
HOME TALENT
SELLING WELL
Quite q Rush for Advance Tickets for
"katcha.KOO" - Reserya.
tons Start Tuesday At
Usual Place.

Tickets for "Katcha-Koo" are SELL
Ing like hot cakes on cold day-who
has not heard of this brilliant spec
tacular and above all-unique produc-
tion which is to be given January 26
and 27 at Washington Opera House as
benefit for American Legion. AS the
name implies "Katcha-Koo" brings
with 1t the atmosphere of the far East.
1t carries the audience from the pal
ace Of the Maharajah of Hunga, an
East Indian potentate, back to New
York City. There is something doing
every minute, those who have seen the
rehearsals declare that such a thing
as "dull-spot" is positively unknown
In addition to the story itself, an hi
larious farce-comedy, by the way, the
pageantry, tableaux and scenic effects
will leave nothing to be desired. And
II is said by those who have had a
peep behind scenes the costuming is
really superb.
Mr.. F. Diener and Mr.. J. D. Keith,
at the head of the local committee, are
working hard. That the play, enlist
ing as it does, the services of the best
talent in the city, and with an expert
professional director in charge, will
be an artistic success goes without
saying, but there are other considera-
tions of Importance. 1t is the inten-
ton of the committee to sell every
seat in the house for each perform
ance. This means hard work on the
part of all, but from present indica-
tions their desire will be realized and
the American Legion will receive a
nice sum as The proceeds from the
play will be turned over to that
worthy cause.
The cast for extravaganza is COM
plete. Mr. Duane Rogers will be the
flirtatious and love-making "Katcha-
Koo," transformed by a magical gar
ment from a Hindoo Fakir to this
state of amorous sublimity.
Tickets may be reserved at Shaffer
& Watkins after 10 a. m. Tuesday.
Especially interesting is the an
nouncement that Miss Annabelle Hall
will be seen in the role of solo dancer
for the Veil Dancers.

County in 1776 - Visit Of La
Fayette and Death Of Choctaw

The following interesting references
to the early history Of Maysville and

In the year 1776, what is now Mason
county fairly swarmed with visitors

Pennsylvania, in most cases of the
latter class, many who came to select
their future homes, while others "im-
proved for friends or for speculation.
These improvements varied greatly,
from deadening few trees and mark
ing initials upon them, up to log
cabin, sometimes covered with bark,
but generally uncovered, clearing a
patch of ground and planting corn.

Meditando en- Ia historic

tigar los fen6menos que Sc suceden en-
ell mundo moral y cientifco, ha sido uno
de los mayores males en- todas las seda-
des. Las masas que habian de formar
la tripulacion de las naves tenian i'm
buidas en- sus mentes ideas superticio-
sas, como las tinieblas impenetrables
que cubrfan ell oceano los monstruos
marinos que pululaban por esas regio-
nes inexploradas. Por esta razon vemos
uno de los obstaculos casi insuperables
para recIltsr hombres que estuviesen
dispuestos emprender un viaje tan lle-
no de peligros.
Los sabios de su epoca consideration
a Colon como un pobre visionario digno
de lastima. La autoridad suprema en- e.
campo filos6fico cientifco era Aristo
teles. Sus escritos y todo 10 que el ha-
bia ensefiado eran materia que no admi
tia discussion. De aeuerdo con las teorias
de Aristoteles, la terra tenia una figura
plana. Tomando como punto de psrtida
este dogma cientifico, los grandes doc
torres reunidos en- Salamanca, demostra-
ron Colon que su viaje era un impo-
sible, que sus proyectos los consideraba1
como una quimera hija de una imagina-
ci6n calenturienta
iDescartando una recommendation de
los eruditos era casi seguro Que ningdn
monarca sc aventurase a proteger una
enpresa semejante. Pcro aquel hoinbre
al recibir los dardos punzantes de tan
tas decepciones, no pierie su fc. Mi
ra hacia adelante. La estrella de la es-
peranza lie guia. Cuando agotadas sus
fuerzas fisicas, pero llono todavia su
corazon de ilusiones sublimes llega al
convento de la Rabida y es recomen-
dado por aquel sacerdote generoso a
la Reina Isabel, seguramente debe haber
experimentado en- medic de sus peregri-
naciones la dicha inefable del que CO.
Iumbra ell puerto salvador en- medic de
la horrfsona tormenta.
Y cuando Colon surc6 las virgenes on
6as del Atlantico, afpontando ell fragor
de las tenpestades las miles vicisitu-
des de su viaje, y llega a las tierras deg
conocidas, realizo una empresa mas gran
de que la que habia FORBADE su fantasia,
pues eA solamente buscaba un canine
mas corto para llegar a la India.
Per este medic fue como la civiliza-
ci6n de Oriente extendi6 sus fulgores
hacia ell occidente, colonizando las tie
rras del Nuevo Mundo.
Y despu6s de mas de cuatro siglos,
cuando ell viejo continente estaba pun
to de perecer en- la horrorosa hecatombe
de la guerra mundial, la joven America
acude con sus energias y sus entusias-
mos para salvar la vieja civilization
que lie dio la vida.
Por ESQ, en- la fecha del doce de octu-
bre, el nombre de Cristobal Colon debe
tener una sagrada resonancia en- los am
bitos de los dos continentes.
