thing is all set for "Bimbo," the seem
cry has been hung. the actors and ac-
tresses have received their costumes,
the last dress rehearsal has been held.
and tonight opens the big attraction.
Director 'Brim" .Jewett put the
troupe through n strenuous rehearsal
yesterday. giving them their last bit
OF polishing. Every one knows their
parts, the chorus and dance artists
know their cues. and nothing remains
but the rising Of the curtain.
The opening chorus brings the en-
tire group Of tourists" on the stage
there being over so people in this num-
Der. and in their colorful costumes they
make very pretty sight. From this
time on. things progress at breaknecl
speed. the love affairs of the governor
OF Aunt Portia, and of Sylvia and Jack
keep things active, while the lovely
Princess Lil!ikoza and her threats OF
keel are the cause of much laughter

ever attempted by Augusta amateurs

scription. the song numbers are catchy,

may feel assured that everything Is
up to a very high standard.
One OF the hardest working men in
connection with the show has been Ex-
allied Ruler j. Francis McNichold.
Mac" has been laboring day and
night for "Bimbo." Aside from look
ing after business details he has play
ed for rehearsals and will lead the
orchestra on the nights of the produc-
tion. Very popular as a lodge officer.
No. 9G4 has enjoyed one of the best
years in its career and Mr.. MacNichol
is responsible for this more than any
one man.
Director "Brim" Jewett has shown
wonderful ability in his development
of the "Bimbo" cast. His untiring zeal
and patience as won him the admira-
ton of all Who have seen him work.
and the audiences which see the show
tonight and tomorrow night will be
unstinted in their praise.
"Bimbo' is a show that you can not
afford to miss. It is romance of JOY
and laughter, Of the South Seas where
love is ardent, where revolutions
thrive over night, where all are happy
and gay. 1t is show for the blue and
down-hearted. for with it's tinkling
melodies and mirthful situations 1t
drives away the cares OF the everyday
world and transports one to that lovely
,, island meath the equator where there
is joy in living and loving.
While the scat sale has been large.
there still remain some good\reserva-
tions. but it is earnestly advised that
those who have not already secured
their pasteboards make haste and do SO
now. Remember. Limbo" is present
cd tonight and tomorrow night at the
Augusta Opera House.-Adv.
