LEGION PLAY
BIC SUCCESS
"Stop Thief" Enjoyed by Big
Crowd at the High School
Auditorium; Dance Follows

The Perth Amboy Post. 45, Amer
lean Legion, scored a great social
success last night when the comedy
farce. stop Thief" was presented
by the Navy Players of New York
and was followed by a dance, which,
in itself, was a o enjoyable fea-
ture. The Navy Players, consisting
of Legionaires who served in the
navy, supplemented in the female
role by girls who have done war
work in some capacity did thorough
justice to the rich comedy which has
had a long and successful run on
Broadway. The numerous humor-
GUS complications evoked much
laughter from the appreciative au-
dience and the many difficult situa-
tons were cleverly acted by the
cast which worked together with de-
cided skill.
The auditorium was well filled
through the concerted efforts of the
Legionaires and their many friends
and while the affair did not, per-
haps, net the post a very great sur
plus, the evening was conceded to
have been thoroughly worth while,
socially. The dance that followed
the play attracted a large part of
the audience and the Majestic Play
ers of New York, who furnished the
music, were one of the big features
Of the evening.
