for T0night's 4
Egyptian Cabaret

AS you are planning to attend the
Augusta Girls Community club pro-
duction of Brian II. Jewetts Egypt
ian Cabaret this Friday evening at
the CITY hall, you really should do
one of two things. If you are plan
ning TO sit at table, you should
call the Girls club and engage your
table. Then when you go TO City hall
this evening you can obtain the num-
Der to your table by inquiring for it
at the ticket Office where it will be
saved for you. If you are planning to
sit up stairs then you will want to
be on hand early to get a good seat.
There are still a few tables left
downstairs which have not yet been
reserved. Just call ll66W il you
want one of them. Contrary to wild
stories which have been circulating
about. there will be plenty of room
for everyone and nobody who has a
ticket will have to stand, either up
stairs or down stairs.
A dress rehearsal was held Thurs
day evening at the City hall, SO that
everyone could get the lay of the
land. Old City hall looked for all
the world like reincarnated Tut
harem, with the array of gay colors,
silks and satins and fine velvcts, to
say nothing of earrings and brace

to go TO Dover. \. II. He replied that
he felt that that assignment would
be too far from home as Miss Doro-

Jessie is year younger than that.

located IN Waterville, he could give
them more of his support and coun-

Lawrence Thursday that arrange
ments for their detail there would
be made within a week or so.
