HOME TALENT PLAY
SCORES SUCCESS

Under auspices of the local
Danish Brotherhood lodge and
with c. l.. Wosgaard as director
the Danish one act play "Faste-
lavnsgildet" was staged at the D..
! B. S. hall Monday evening by
local talent in an able manner.
The play purports to represent
conditions at the home of fairly
wealthy farmer in Denmark
about half a century or so ago.
Much work has been done in the
way of getting costumes and
stage settings to correspond with
the origin of the play and many
of the old timers who saw it said
it was very realistic.
There were seventeen charac-
tiers in the play, the bulk of
whom, however, had only minor,
yet very essential parts. The ma
jority of those taking part had
never been on the stage before,
yet the able manner in which the
play was staged, proves again
that Askov has an abundance of
unknown talent in this particular
line. Mrs. Chr. Sandahl and
Fritz Holm had the leading parts
and not having been seen on a
stage here before they surprised
the audience immensely, so did
some of the other players but it
will be impossible to make indi-
vidual mention.
The complete list of those TAX
ing part follows: Mrs. Chr. San
dahl, Anna Laursen, Mrs. Svend
Petersen, Gudrun Andersen,
Agnete Simonsgaard, Fritz Holm,
Axel A. Jensen, Ed Gudmondsen.
Peter Bovbjerg, Jens c. Jensen,
Otto Madsen, Henry Larsen,
Henry Simonsgaard, Hans Mos
back, Mr.. Back, John H. Sorensen,
Jens Henriksen; Arthur Ellingson
played accompaniment to the
songs on violin; Mrs. c. L. Wos-
gard acted as prompter; and c.
L. Wosgaard as director.
After the play was over ut
only takes an hour) coffee was
served and then dancing enjoyed
till o'clock. 1t was very evil

camp 2 miles from the Canadian
border, 160 miles from the near

camp he says a man must anti
cipate his sickness a week ahead
of time in order to reach a doctor
by the time he gets real sick. Mr..
Jensen says there is plenty of
timber to cut but you must wade
around in four feet of snow to
