The Ely miner., 1923-04-20

iphtful comedy in three acts. is the
play chosen by the Senior Class of
1928 as their representative produc-
ton. The play will be given at the
Washington Auditorium, Friday ev-
ening, May a. "Come Out of the
Kitchen" is taken from the story of
the same name by Alice Duer Miller.
The play has its setting in the old
Southern mansion of the aristocratic
Daingerfields. The children of the
family, finding themselves financially
embarrassed, and with the father in
a strange land ill, decide to lease
their home, for certain period, to a
Northern millionaire, Burton Crane.
The terms of the lease demand white
servants and the Daingerfield's with
only negro servants, find themselves
in a difficult position. The ingenuity
Of Olivia Daingerfield, who conceives
the idea of the children themselves
acting as servants during the Yank-
ee's stay in their home, saves the day.
Delightful and amusing compiica-
tions result from this point on tc the
end of the story, which turns out
happily for all concerned.
"Come Out of the Kitchen" with
Ruth Chatterton in the leading role
made notable success on its pro-
duction by Henry Miller at the Cohan
Theatre, Ney York. 1t is a most in
genius and entertaining comedy.

SUNDAYS FIRE
LUCKY AFFAIR.
CHURCH FILLED WITH CHILD.
REM WHEN ALARM WAS
TURNED IN.

& Sunday morning during the pro-
gress of the Sunday School a. the
Presbyterian church, smoke began
pouring from the hot air registers
and the children were hustled to
safety. This was not accomplished
however, without utilizing the new
doorway cut into the side of the
building. The new door had Just
been finished and it was lucky
move as the flames from the lower
floor where the heating plant had
become overheated and had ignited
the woodwork, were shooting up
through the registers and had cut
off all exit from the front of the
building. Had this exit at the back
not been usable, the pupils would
have been compelled to get out
through the windows.
The fire department soon had the
affair under control. The damages
to the church building are estimat
ed at $500, partly. covered by lnsur
ance. The floors, heating plant ano
some of the pews were ruined. The
edifiee has been placed in condition
and services will be conducted a!
usual next Sunday as can be seer
by the announcement of Rev
Browne in another column.
