gether for years. They have fallen
into rut, in the matter of living.
Existence has become matter or
routine until they are even older
than they seem to be. All of them,
in their youth, have been in love
with the same girl. For the first
time in years they receive a mes
sage, written just before her death,
asking them to take care of her
child. They make plans for the ar
rival of baby boy. Then to. their
utter astonishment in walks an att
tractive young girl of 18 or 90.
From that instant on this marvellous
play of laughter and tears moves
rapidly towards its finish.
Three Wise Fools" is brilliant
blending of laughter and tears. 1t
has those moments when audiences
rock back and forth in their chairs
overcome with laughter. Then it is
followed by those instants when a
lump rises in the throat and tear
trembles on the eyelid.
To miss the performance of
Three Wise Fools" at che Twin
City Opera House on Friday even
ing, Aug. 18, will be to lose one of
the most delightful entertainments
that has ever been offered local
theatre goers.
Vaudeville will be introduced be-
tween acts and continuous per-
formance will be given, thereby
avoiding any long tiresome waits.
Those that desire choice seat
reservations should secure their
tickets well in advance

was going about his work. he no.
ticed several machines parked over
there, and asked his wife what was
going on, but she gave him an
evasiveS answer, so he decided to in
vestigate for himself, and see what
they were doing. He found quite a
number at the hall, and asked sew
eral what was going on, but no one
seemed to know. Finally he asked
Will Tannehill if he knew what it
meant, and his reply was, How old
are you, today?" Then "Pete"
Caught on" and hurried home to
tell his wife about it, and found her
laughing at his expense. In short
time. he was back at the hall, face
washed, hair combed, all dressed up,
ready to greet his friends.
The Reinersville band was there
in full force. Years ago, "Pete"
had instructed band at that place,
and three of the same members
were there, together with younger
set. some of them sons of the for
mer band boys, and now being in
structed by Ernest, oldest son of S.
Thorla, and who is right at home as
band leader.
First on the program, was music
by the band, followed by few we'll
chosen remarks by the pastor, Rev.
C. E. Bulen. Among the many good
things he said, was how much cas-
ier it was to talk on an occasion
like this, when every one was hap
py, than at a funeral, and how much
better to show your appreciation,
love, and respect for folks while liv-
ing, instead of waiting until they
were gone. to bring flowers And
while he had not known Mr.. Thorla
very long, he loved him, and felt
that his life had not been failure
in this community where he has
spent the greater part of his life.
He then introduced Mr.. Thorla, or
"Pete Silas," to the crowd, and as
usual, he was equal to the occasion.
Before beginning, he had his aged

mother come to the front of the hall,
so she might hear what he had to
say. 1t is beautiful to see the love
and respect these two have for each
other. She is "a years old, and with
the exception of her hearing, her
faculties are alert, and she is ex-
years. He spoke first of the sur
prise they had for his father 30
years ago. Then he expressed his
band boys from Reinersville. He
help and encourage him in the diff
ficult places of life, and cause him
to do more for the benefit of hui
manity. And that to get the most
out of life, we should cultivate the
spiritual side of our natures, or in
other words, fear God and keep His
commandments, this being the
whole duty of man.
Then came the dinner, served in
the basement of the hall, and such a
pickles, pies of all kinds, cakes, hot
coffee, etc., also plenty of ice cream,
furnished by his children. The
IOVclIcSL SlSAl was the I'LL HucuoC,
four-tier birthday cake, with 63
candles, baked and presented by
Mary Upton, of the Star Bakery,
Caldwell, who is cousin of Mr..
Thorlas. and she certainly can bake
cakes, for it tasted just as good as
it looked
After dinner, we enjoyed more
splendid music by the band, then a
cornet and trombone duet by the
Smith brothers of Marietta, aged IL
and 13 years, sons of Frank Smith,
formerly of Reinersyille. They GER
tainly are born musicians, and they
transposed the music, or played in a
different key from which the music
was written. They were accompa-
MED on the piano by Norma Tilden.
Prof. E. N. Dye of Caldwell, life
long friend, made fine talk. He
eulogized Thorla's speech, and said
that as "Pete" had not had time to
prepare a speech, we heard real,
right-from-the-hea talk, which was
more interesting than if he had
gathered thoughts from others. He
said that in ths' many years that
they were associated in church
work, especially when he was Sun
day school superintendent, and Mr..
Thorla, chorister, that he could al
ways depend on "Pete." And when
he asked him to look after the mu-
sic for special occasions, he was al
ways "Johnny-on-the-sp He
hoped that he would continue to
work. and not think he was too old,
and that man of his age and ex-
perience was far more capable of
doing things than younger man.
Best of all was the song, "The
Vale Where My Home Lies" COM
posed by S. Thorla, sung by Ernest
Thorla and wife, Leura Dye and
Ray Tilden, with Norma Tilden at
the piano. Ernest and Forest Thor
la and Ray Tilden sang a few songs
that pleased the audience. Lastly,
few remarks by Mr.. Thorla, thank
ing the friends for their presence,
and for the honor and respect shown
him.
All went home wishing him many
more years of happiness and use
