Comedians Score
Success in Farce

Brunk S Comedians are scoring
another success this week with
" Mica Minute Kendall, one Of
the funniest farces that the Ameri
,s,n sstage 5tas known in the last
decade. The Characters in the play
are unusually well portrayed, and
they make the most of the oppor-
tunitieS presented by tie lines and
the plot TO keep the audience laugh
ing from beginning 20 end. One Of
the funniest situations in the play
arises when a tight-fsted New Eng
land Yankee farmer tthey don t
make them amy tighter is forced
to subscribe TO $1,000 worth of stock.
The program viii bc changed Sun
day night when the Comedians Will
present "2f Hours Of Truth an
other well known stage success,
that is guaranteed 10 drive away
every vestigc Of blues or troubles.
BRINK = Comedians are making Il
hit with Imperial Valley folks and
they deserve the support which is
being accorded them.
