Plan Details for
Armistice Day at
Legion Meeting

Inc regular meeting of George N.
Bouraue Post, American Legion, was
held last night in their hall on Sill
YER street. Very few matters of bust
ness were taken up, and this included
mostly details of the Armistice Day
celebration.
The meeting was of short duration
and the remainder of the evening was
given over to rehearsal of the play
Leave 1t to Jane which will be pro-
duced Armistice night at the City OPP
era House.
Tickets will go on sale this mora
Ing at Choate's music store, and it
may be well to mention that no tickets
VIII be checked off prior to the OPEN
ing of the sale. This statement is
made because Of a rumor current that
the checking off of seats has been
done before, but this has been most
emphatically denied by the committee
in charge.
The play Is Broadway success, the
plot Is clever, the numbers snappy,
and the chorus is there with big mu-
steal bang.
Bernard Mclean is coaching the act
ing parts, DR.. Fred Hill has charge of
the music, and Juliette Breton is
coaching the dancers.
