CATCHY COMEDY TO BE 4 REAL TREAT
 FUR LOCAL FOLk
ION TO FAIRBANKS" TO BE PRE- SENTED AT GREENLAND ON
 SATURDAY EVENING

Just two more days to wait before the initial curtain rises on the funni- est, cleanest and most clever farci- cal comedy ever produced on the Sc ward stage. Imagine wealthy and reckless youth who writes ardent love letters to designing Anchorage flap per. an attorney brother-in-law who steals the letters and then gets his handbag mixed up with the handbag of member of the light-fngered gen. try, who has just lifted the valuable necklace from the mother of the in discrete youth; the finding of these jewels by the wife of the promising young lawyer and the family troubles begin. But along comes Susie a bell of Fairbanks, who only needs S28.05 to return to the golden heart of Alas ka-mercenary being. She also gets tangled up in the fracas; the crook returns and his efforts to regain the plunder are halted by the entrance of the police, but finally the owner comes and bringing the reward with her meets the notorious chap; as these incidents of the story unfold with a swiftness of action that never halts for an instant.
 No only are the situations scream ingly funny, but the lines themselves hold fund of humor at all times. This newest and cleverest of all far ces was written by a very popular short story writer and is backed up by the prestige of an impressive New York success. This is no slapstick comedy, with vulsarism or immodist situations, but play with moral. A cleaner, cleverer farce with the promise of unlimited fun presented in the most attractive form has not been seen for many long day.

Forestville, Md.
According to the local prohibi-
ton office, when agents discov-
cred two huge stills in the woods
near Forestville. the moOnshiners
fled from the place, scattering
fire in the dry brushwood and
causing the blaze which spread
over more than 1000 acres in that
section, and which threatened to
join the large fire to the north

Blame Dry Agents
The story told by several resi-
dents of the vicinity Of Forestville,
is that the dry agents from Wash

explosion set the Forestville woods
afire.
The agents admit having dyna-
mited the stills, one Of 6OO-gallon

to fight through fire and smoke to
place the dynamite charges.
