GIVE BIBLE PLAY
Audience Enjoys "The Book Of job
Saturday Night.

Everyone of the audience that wit
messed Stuart Walkers pontmanteau
play. "The Book of Job" at the Brack-
enridge high school auditorium Sat
urday night came away with the
thought that those who maintain that
the Bible is the greatest piece of
literature OF all ages are right. The
presentation was a revelation, even
to those close students of the Scrip
lures who composed large part of
the audience to see the stage version
of the trials of the famous. Biblical
character.
The play was presented under the
auspices of the Business and Profess
sional Women's Club of San Antonio.
The Sir David group was given Sat
urday afternoon.
George Sommes took the leading
role. The splendor of the lighting
system and the Hebrew music were
special features to be commended.
In spite of the actionless character
of the play, Mr.. Sommes through his
pantomine and gestures made the role
a living thing.

found on the McEntire ranch in Ster-

On the ranch that has been in the
possession of the McEntire family 40
years, large cannon ball, apparent

was unearthed last week. The ball
is rusty and SCARED, showing its age,
but there is no fort or battle ground

The little magical boat flew right up into the front yard of the pretty place where the little Cap tain's mamma lived.
 And when the love- ly lady saw who were in the boat, she gave a glad. cry and ran and hugged both her sons, the little brown man and the little Captain.
 "Mamma," the lit tie Captain said, q have brought the two Grannys home to live with us! They have a magic cloak which tells fairy tales every fifteen minutes and a magic frying pan to make doughnuts and a lot of o t h CT magical things ]"
 ''Isn't that nice '" the Captains man. ma said as she kiss ed Mrs. Granny and shook hands with Mir. Gram n y. T know we shall all have a lot of fun living here !"
 So she took them all into the house and in a few minutes

when they saw the others laughing and having fun, they began 50 smile, too, and when they had finished eating their dinner, Witch Wiggle turned to the Captains mamma and said, "I do not believe I shall ever be mean and stingy and selfish again"
 "Why not?" Witch Grundy asked.
 "Because!" Witch Wiggle replied, i've always get hard knocks and bumps by trying to take things away from peo- pie! I shall turn over a new leaf and be good after this!"
 "We are glad to hear it" Raggedy Ann said. "For 1t is lots of fun being cheerful and generous"
 And I shall turn over a new leaf, tool" Witch Grundy said. ''If you will let us," she said to the Captains nice mamma, "Witch Wiggle and I will be your hired girls and work for you. Won't we, Witch Wiggle?"
 Indeed! We shall" Witch Wiggle laughed. So the Captains mamma gave each of the Witches a clean apron

 Finally Raggedy Ann jumped up and exclaimed, "Oh, my! We have forgot ten the two Witches!"
 "The two Witches!" the Captains mamma cried. What about the two Witches, Raggedy Ann?"
 "whyw Raggedy Ann replied, switch Wiggle and Witch Grundy are two very mean old selfish Witches who bothered the Grannys and even took their house from them. They also cap tured the Captain, Raggedy Andy ana me; but we all were rescued by the llt- tie brown man. Then the Witches cap tured the magic boat two or three times, but we managed to get it back again. The last time they captured our magic boat, the hobby horse made the little boat loop the loop and this sent the Witches flying from the boat to the ground. Now the Witches are tied hand and foot and are in the cabin on couches. I was just thinking how hun gry the Witches must be. And," Rag gedy Ann continued, "even if they are mean and selfish and ill-mannered, 1t is not right for us to leave them lying there so hungry"
 "Oh! My no" the Captains man. ma said, I've must unite them and bring them in to have something to eat t!'
 So everyone went to the little boat and united Witch Wiggle and Witch Grundy. Then the Witches were taken into the house and given everything they wanted to eat.
