@'Mr- Bomberling's Wax DOLL" the
first grade offering, is a clever play
let written and staged by Miss leila

most wOndrously lifelike "wax dolls,"

ley was most perfect, and not at all
Sleepy"

9hat one did not blame her for being
optimistic about her sheep.

z6ons as "Mr. Mccormick.

sidy as 1.-THE Dancing Doll"

Williams as "Jack and Jill' spoke as
vyne, and did that speaking well.
Like dainty doll just out of toy
shop was Lois Undertake as Little
Betty Blue"

lowing '1Mary" everywhere if she was
half as sweet as Grace Mccormick. |
Jack Hopper proved himself an eff
ficianf "soiler" and Lloyd Thompson
vVsas careful to see that all the "dolls"
were busted and wound up.
