Were Great
Land of Dolls" Is Accredited the
Best Home Talent Production in
Failon's History

little tots and carrying out senti-
ment characteristic of the juvenile
period, was portrayed in declama-
tion and song by the children of the
primary grades of the Fallon ele-
mentary schools at the Rex theater
Friday evening. More than TOO
people who love little folks were on
hand to give a welcome that was as
genuine as were the efforts put for
ward to entertain them by the chill
dren. "The best home talent pro-
duction in Fallon's history" was
the verdict acclaimed and the ver-
dict was roundly earned.
From the opening dialogue by
Fredda Bingham and Pauline Will
liams to the goodnight cong" two
hours of riotous laughter inter-
vened.
Clever little comedians and COM
Medicines held the footboards and
the sincerity of childhood ran strong
throughout the entire course of
Land of Dolls" The play is really
a clever conception of childhood
viewpoint and the caste that pro-
duced it was splendidly trained by
the Misses Jessie Van. Hester Mills,
Ada Samson and Florence Mills,
primary grade teachers. Costuming
was elaborate and the beauty and
viyaciousness of Fallon's childhood
amazed those in the audience.
I'VE really have a great wealth in
our children" said many a person,
and appreciation was expressed on
all sides. Fairies and dolls of every
sort and description were character
lied. Melba Hursh. queen of fairies
and Veneta Beatty. queen of dolls,
sang cleverly. Eskimo dolls, Ind
ian dolls, baby dolls, paper dolls,
negro dolls, Japanese dolls. Chi
nese dolls, colonial dolls. Dutch
dolls. soldier dolls and sailor dolls
came on the stage in rapid success
sion and solo parts were numerous.
Ii would be difficult indeed to re-
cite in merited detail the cleverness
of the little performers. But COM
ment is INDUCED and credit given

tunate to see this performance. In
the minds of these Land or Dolls, .
