Nancy to Madse.

Well, here am again with my chat
ter about McDonough in general and
the II. l.. S. in particular. Well, well {,
the Hiawathans have been doing some
wonderful work this year, according
to the pleasing comments we have
heard. The progress last week re-
minded all OF us Of the Thanksgiving
holidays. The stage was appropriate
liz decorated and as for the program,
self,-well, time and space forbid me
giving you all the details. 1t is suffi-
cient to say that all members carried
their parts with credit. But you know
that anyhow. They always do.
By the way, Madge, l don't believe
you have met our new matron, Mrs.
Gaines. I want you to come and meet
her; she is just the dearest thing imag-
Unable,
This holiday feeling is great. What
in the world is that surprise you have
planned for me p? / need a surprise
and srealh time after all this hard
work. ] don't care If 1t lasts until A
O'Clock in the morning.
No more society activities until after
Christmas. But as we all know what
happened to Pat when he steered be-
tween the two eyes, | guess we just
must be content with thinking of the
Juicy gobbler."
Write early and often is the com
mand of
Your true friend,
NANCY.

A Scenic Product a.

The average amateur production as
given on the average small town stage
Is apt to have the action fitted to the
stage and to the existing, usually un-
appropriate scenery with the result
that the effect IS spoiled.
! tits said that for The Elopemept OF
Elem, which is TO he produced in the
Town Hallon bee ii, special scenery
Is being CONSTRUCTED, end so far as pos
sible on a stage ~ that size, the scenic
and elertrinai effects will equal pro-
fessional performance.
The story porsrayed is said to be ex-
crutiatingly furry. The character OF
the nervous rector as portrayed by one
OF our gifted local performers requires
particular ability and so well has the
part been studied that 1t is reported
that even the recipient OF the proposal
is unable to keep a straight face. This
however may be only a habit con-
tracted from previous experiences.
If The hilarity heard at McDonough,
where the play is rehearsing is any cri
terion, the audience will enjoy many
good laughs during the performance.
The sale of reserved seats Is exceed
ing expectations and those not already
provided with them should see that
their reservations are made at once.
