JUBILEE IS CONTINUING TODAY
Another Great Crowd Was Expected
This Morning as Second Day Of Gel

Will Be Feature Today.

(From Saturdays Daily Hera.d)
Lewis county's big two day cele-
bration following the completion OF
the splendid new highway between
Hohenwald, the county seat, and Sum
mertown, on the Jackson Military
Highway, opened Friday with an enor-
nous crowd in attendance.
Although an early morning rain
threatened to mar the festivities of
the day, Skies cleared before noon and
left the atmosphere crisp and fresh
People drove in in buggies, in wagons
and in automobiles, they walked in
rodeshorseback, muleback or any other
way they could find to get to the CAPT
tai OF the county.
There was nothing commercial
about the big jubilation-ev everything
was free--the barbecue was gratis
the airplane flights were free to the
spectators-it was just a general jul
bilee and jolification and expression
of delight that the new road had been
completed This road has reduced
the distance between Columbia and
Hohenwald many miles, and will nc
doubt largely increase traffic between
the two counties.
The auction sales which had been
scheduled for yesterday We're postpon
ed by Auctioneer Britt Davis, who, an
nounced that they would be held to-
day. Last night large party of Co
lumbians drove through to Hohenwald
to attend the big dance, part of the
program of entertainment.
1t was believed this morning that
the crowd in Hohenwald would be
even larger than on yesterday, as many
were kept away on Friday by threat
ening weather

MACBETH DELIGHTS
COLUMBIA AUDIENCE
FRITZ LElRER PRESENTS TWO OF
IMMORTAL sHAkEspEARE's
GREATEST DRAMAS.

Fritz Leiber delighted two splendid
Columbia audiences here yesterday
with his Interpretation of two of the
immortal Shakespeare's greatest
plays, Romeo and Juliet, matinee, and
Macbeth in the evening. Lovers OF
these great old plays who knew Fritz
Leibor fiocked to Columbia from every
section of the county, and from ad Join,
ing counties, for Maury countians
knew Leiber and his ability as a
Shakespearean interpreter. Among
both audiences were many students
from the Columbia schools, both the
public and private institutions, and to
say that they enjoyed every line is no
oxageration.
Those who love the legitiamte stage
and the cid order of things were de-
lighted both with Leiber's portrayal of
Romeon in the afternoon and Macbeth
at night.
Not only is Leiber one of the great
est Shakespearean interpreters, but
his support is excellent The presen-
tation OF Macbeth could never be a
success without strong Lady Mac
beth and that character contributed
greatly to the success of the evening
performance. Leiber has presented
four of the famous plays of Shakes
peare during the past two years, and
each of them has proven a delight.
Leiber has warm place in the hearts
of Columbia showgoers.
Manager Jackson is to be congrat
ulated upon bringing to Columbia such
high class attractions and he is de-
serving Of the most liberal patronage
when such performances are staged.
