-GARRICK-"A Clean Town y

The theme for "a Clean Town" the
Eew comedy by J. C. Nugent and Ell
siott Nugent. which is to be seen at

Christopher Columbus. The veteran
j. C. Nugent points out that when
Columbus sighted America he called
1t dry land" And" Mr.. Nugent con-
cludes, cit took 500 years to confirm
Ct, but We now know that Columbus
was right"
"A Clean Town" is the story of a
emaN town where the people were
divided as to whe ther the town should
be dry without regard to Mr. VOL
stead and his justly celebrated law
or not.
Richard G.. Herndon is the producer.

place on the stage for her.
