LEGION PLAY GOOD

Mr.. Bob, the home talent play,
was staged Tuesday night at the Gar
den Theatre to a large and well
pleased audience. The cast of char
acters were well adapted and each
individual presented their part
in a very creditable manner. The
work done by Director J. 81. Hickman
and his caste consisting of Misses Del
ia Keyer, Grace Hancock, Goldie Cor
rell, Virginia Oldham, and Messrs.
Schuyler Gibson, Pat Lynch and Juli-
us Harries were highly appreciated by
the American Legion Post. They at
SO desire to publicly thank the orches-
ira and the good people of this vi
cinity for doing their part in helping
make the play success. The proceeds
which were about $3.50 viii be used
for the benefit of Moore Post. The
people of the west end of the county
have asked that the comedy be given
at Colfyer and Quinter in the near

The plays and other forms of
amusements put on by the Legion are
not merely to create funds but to
keep the members and public interest
ed in their organization.
