Theatre GUILD
TO give LOCAL
PLAY SOON here
MerIing Selects Big Cast
to Present New
Comedy. $i;.IAo

The premier staging az q nkw
farce comedy written by an INDIAN
apolis author, Augusta Stevenson,
will be achieved on Thursday night,
April Is, at the Masonic Temple,
North and Illinois SITS, by the Indi.
annapolis Theatre Guild.
Bert Merling is rapidly whipping
the play into a smooth, finish. The
play is named From a Clear Sky"
One of the major mirth producing
situations which will touch the risi.
bilities Of not only the general pub
lie, but particularly the ex-service
men, is an intelligence test which
Amos Maybe, the principal character
comedy.role of Miss Stevenson's
farce, is entrapped in as the result
of his infatuation for a beautiful,
but constituencies adventures.
Hitherto, he has journeyed
through life with the fatuous belief
that he is a dominant parsonage and
at 60 years OF age Is caught in the
meshes Of two amorous entangle-
ments, one to his employer and the
other, a secret engagement to the
charming gold-digger, who Is forty
years his Junior.
When his daughter Jane learns OF
this state Of affairs she summons n
psychiatrist and the mental test
pinions Amos to a predicamenr
which he would give his right arm to
escape. Gales OF laughter will result
in Amos hectic answers and his few
erish attempts to bluff through the
intelligence test with some modicum
Of self-respect. Geraldine Cobbs, the
gold digger, invades Amos fireside
and battles to win the elderly Don
Juan, whom she believes rich as
Croesus, in the very teeth OF his
estranged fiancee, his daughter Jane
and his entire household.
Next to the principal character
comedy role Of Amos Maybe" this
part OF Geraldine ranks second in
importance.
1t proved so difficult to cast that
Mr.. Merling conducted an eIimina-
ton procedure in which Miss Helen
Morton was chosen.
The cast is as follows:
Jane Jaybe .............. Helen Foley
Charles Long. ......... Phillip Colgrove
A Ma1dy Maybe K hettv z! ssdes

Where We Agree

What we want is prosperity
in this Territory for natives and
white alike. What we want in
this community is peace and
friendliness, with JUSTICE
and EQUALITY for ALL"
These are great words, JUS
tice and equality.
Your school board would not
admit Henry Sing because 1--WE
have decided not to admit any
person of Indian BLOOD as
Mrs. Peterson said. Adding,
1--WE have room for only one
more child, and we are holding
that for some white child who
might come"
Do you call this EQUAL
TYP"
Do you call this JUSTICE"
considering the fact that the
child's father pays a tax to
support the school from which
his son is excluded?
