A puppet show has come to
Charles Town. Many will remem-
Der the Punch and Judy shows of
their childhood or will have heard
of the charming performance being
given by Tony Saargs marionettes.
Mrs. Edwards puppet shows are like
both, as direct as Punch and Judy,
yet given with the charm and varie-
ty of the more modern shows. This
is probably the oldest form of the
drama and it is hoped that the revival
of it which is taking place all over
the country will take permanent root
in Charles Town. See these anus
ing tales and be inspired to make
some for ourselves

missed-Frank Bacon's ''Lightniu'."
Bacon at that time was playing char
acter parts in one of Morosco's Los
Angeles companies. He had written
his play and urged a fellow member
of the cast to submit it to Morosco,
Bacon's own modesty preventing him
from making the overture himself.
The actor read the play and SO thor
oughly discouraged Bacon that the
manuscript was placed back in his
trunk.
Only few years ago Douglas Mac
Lean. now one of the film stars, was
filing Juvenile rolls for Morosco in
Los Angeles when he heard the call
of the picture lot. William Desmond,
for years leading man in one of the
Morosco stock companies, became
nationally known in The Bird of
Paradise" which also introduced Bes-
sic Barriscale and Lenore Uric to
stardom.
David Butler, David Hartford and
Charlie Giblyn graduated from the
Morosco company to motion picture
directors and producers.
There is hardly cast on Broadway
today. it is claimed, without one or
more old Morosco favorites in the
lineup. 1t is predicted that the latest
Morosco production, .Abie's Irish
Rose" will add to the quota

He is reported to be one of the most
alert discoverers and developers of

Here are the names, it is said, of
