SHRINERS WILL PUT
 ON PRODUCTION TO
 yCHASE AWAY BLUES

When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote the lines about laugh and the world laughs with you" she expressed a great truth Laughter and cheerful ness always attracts while the long faced crepe hangers have just the opposite effect. This idea is espe cially true of theatrical entertain ments. Appreciating this fact, the Southeastern Alaska Shrine Club is planning for their forthcoming state production and will present the com edy, Are You Mason?" rather than put on anything serious at this time
 The history of the stage shows that the merry-makers justly achieve success and riches while the sad faced, long haired tragedian reaps only poverty and failure Comedy attractions meet with popular ap- proval everywhere as is shown by such plays as Are You a Mason?", the bright musical comedies, and in the movies by the huge salaries paid Charlie Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle, Douglas Fairbanks and others in that class People need cheerfulness now more than ever and all who attend the production of Are You Ma son?" are sure to have that spirit re- vived. The presentation of this ex- ce1ient comedy will be witnessed at the Coliseum Thursday and Friday. August II and 12, with special matinee at 3 p, m, Thursday.
