Great Shou

Gorgeous costumes, pleasing melo-
dies and comedy to crack even the
hardest face were the most brilliant
features of last nights performance
Of "Samarkand," a comic opera in
two acts presented at the Murat by
the Triangle Club of Princeton Uni
versity.
Excellently staged and mounted
this offering by the Triangle Club is
a fine example Of what can be done
by group of university men sim
cerely interested in providing an en-
tertaining musical show.
Perhaps we have a different opin-
that a production such as this
makes a much better appeal to the
audience it is arranged for than some
serious attempts at heavy drama or
play uplift. These men seemed to
enter into the thing with a spirit
that is lacking entirely in a pro-
fessional offering. Entertainment
and fun was the sole reason for their
being upon the stage and in our
opinion they succeeded in master
full way. Everyone works together
in this sort Of Offering and the
natural result is something that will
please.
OF the musical numbers there was
one particularly that caught the
attention, it was the song 1.-THE Road
to Samarkand." This number done
several times throughout the show
by different members of the COM
pany has a melody that sets you to
humming when you think of it. The
quintette was at it's best with this
song.
So, to sum it up, we think the Tri-
angle Club has a fine show in
"Samarkand," and we wish them a
prosperous and happy new year and
many more productions of this cal
liber.
Presented Friday night, Dec. 81,
1926, at the Murat by the Triangle
Club of Princeton University.

concerning the Bible memory con-
test and thought that every school
would have children participating
therein.
Another objective is to have more
than 500 registered delegates from
Marion County at the State conven-
ton which is to be held at Martins
vile June 14-17, 1927.
The young people of the county,
under the leadership of Thos. F.
Jett, who is also pastor of the Gar
den City Christian Church, are plan
ming a great young peoples confer
ence to be held Jan. 21-22-23. They
will have among their speakers such
outstanding characters as Prof. e. K,
Bartlett of De Paw University, and
Miss Jane Farmer, teacher of Bible
at the Greencastle High School.
The children's division, under the
leadership of Miss Martha E. Ben
nett, director of Religious Education
of First Friends Church, is planning
to continue the regular monthly
meetings of the children's council on
the second Tuesday of each month.
These meetings are expected to
reach more children's workers each
month as all are invited to attend
An adult Bible class rally prior
to the State convention is being
planned by F. w. Waldkoetter, the
county adult superintendent.
A better equipped school at James
whitcomb Riley Hospital Sunday
School is among the 1927 plans and
expected by Miss Katherine Mcclure,
superintendent of the school. Similar
schools in other hospitals DESTROYS OF
having them are not among the i'm
possibilities.
The Community Training Schools
are expecting a much larger enroll
ment beginning Jan. and s, 1927
at which time the three schools now
operating will open for the second
semester this year.
These schools and churches in
which they are held are as follows:
North Side School. Northwood

NEW YEAR WILL
SEE RELIGIOUS
PROGRESS HERE
Marion County Council OF
Religious Education Has
Big Program.

At this time in the year when men
in all walks of life are looking for
ward to the possibilities of 1927,
should we not look to some of the
contemplated activities of the Marion
County Council of Religious Educa-
ton otherwise more commonly
known as Marion County Sunday
School Association.
The president, Samuel e. Garrison,
an attorney, with offices in the State
Life Bldg, and Mrs. E. T. Albertson,
executive secretary, are much
pleased with the New Year outlook
and wish everyone as prosperous
and happy a 1927 as they expect for
the Council of Religious Education.
Within the past month a promo
tional committee has been organ
lied and at the meetings already held
it is planning to hold district meet
ing in each of the twenty Sunday
School districts before the middle of
March. The Bible memory contest
is to be a part of the program.
This will include children between
the age of 10 and Is years in every
school in the county. There will be
the contest to see who represents
the class, then the inter-class con-
test to get the representative for
each school at the district meeting.
Recognition will be given to each of
the two children in each district who
are declared in the district meeting
to be their representative at the
county meeting will receive a coun-
ty recognition and will go to the
State convention at Martinsville in
June.
The promotional committee. Of
which F. NJ. Dickerman, Indiana
State Senator; P. A. Wood. president
of Meigs Publishing. Company; w.
II. Knierim, director of Religious
Education Central Region Reformed

Since 1909, Spain though not yet out Of the

a succession of governments too weak to cope
with such problems. Thus we came 10 the

The cure many ills has now begun to
