Aulger Bros. Open En-
gagement Sunday Night
Company Has Many New Faces
Every Bill a Broadway
Success

Armed with an imposing array
of plays and talent, the Aulger
Bros. Stock Co., will once more
spend week entertaining and
amusing their many friends here.
While it seems almost impossible to
improve on the performances this
company has given on previous
visits, their plays this year are of
a much higher calibre than those
usually offered by repertoire COM
panies. In fact, it would be diff
ficult to secure and produce finer
plays than those they have on
their list. The repertoire includes
Mothers Millions, " Strange Bed
fellows" "Mary's Ankle" Lilac
Time" tsWhat Anne Brought
Home" "The Little Spitfre." and
"What is Love-"
Some managers spend their
time and money on plays and neg
lect the quality of his players.
Other managers carry good COM
pany and produce cheap, inferior
plays, but Aulger Bros. have hit on
a happy combination of both which
insures their patrons of maximum
of entertainment. They carry
vaudeville to brighten the dull
moments between acts. While
many Stock Companies have dis
|pensed with their orchestra Aulger
Brothers still carry theirs as they
know any audience enjoys good
music and wish to cater to that
taste.
The opening play will be "Moth-
er's Millions" comedy in which
May Robson starred for two sea-
sons and in which Myra Jefferson,
the new character woman with the
Aulger Brothers Company played
on tour for a season of forty
weeks. Miss jefferson will be seen
as the eccentric old woman, the
character said to be founded on
the famous >Hetty Green. All the
characters of the play are good and
there is an excellent role fer
Louise Sherwood, the company's
popular leading lady.

ROBERT SWIFT POST
PLANS BIG YEAR
Annual Dinner at Commun-
ity Club Last Evening
Attended by 100
CONVENTION In JULY
Cooperation for Civic De-
yelopment Pledged by
Commander Krohm

Robert Swift Post, American
Legion, Sank Centre, have an ac-
tive program in mind for 1928.
At the annual banquet of the
Post at the Community Club
rooms last evening Commander
Herman Krohm gave skeleton
outline of some of the things the
local post hopes to accomplish next
year. The big event will be the
entering of the Sixth District
American Legion convention which
will bring a thousand or twelve
hundred delegates to the city. The
dates have not been definitely set
but if the wishes of the local
post are carried out the conven-
tion will be held the early part of
third.
Mr.. Krohm announced that the
baseball project which the local
post had been considering had been
abandoned for the coming year at
least because it was impossible to
sign the nuecules for a winning
team-that is semi professional
players of merit who were known
to the baseball fans of this section.
The salesman who sold over
SIS. 90 worth of tickets in the au-
tomobile campaign last fall were
the special guests of the Legion at
the banquet last evening. This
campaign netted Robert Swift Post
about $1480. The dinner was
Served by the Woman's Auxiliary.
Wives Of the Service men and
teachers in the Public Schools as
sisted in the serving. The. base Ct
the dinner was fowl, quite uncom-
mon in this section of the country.
1t was as delicious as it was rare.
One hundred attended the dinner.
Mayor l.. w. Whitson COM
menied the Post on their activities
and the support they were giving
to every Civic development. He
informally discussed plans for
street decorations during the
Yuletide season and asked the
Service men to cooperate with the
City authorities to make the dec
orations unique andin keeping with
the season.
Capt. Roy Scott of the National
Guard complimented the Legion
upon their ability as entertainers
and said that every agency at the
disposal of the National Guard will
be at their disposal to make the
next June meeting a success.

THE WILL TO WORK

Herald Playground Sub.
scription Campaign Is En-
tering Final Stage
HELP RURAL STUDENTS
Parents Should Cooperate
Prizes Pre- Well
Worth While

What one of the Rural Schools
of Western Stearns county will
win the major prize in the Herald
playground appliance subscription
campaign which ends promptly al
1900 o'clock noon, Tuesday, Dec
20?.
While only about three weeks
remains there is ample opportun
ity for the workers to come under
the wire winners.
The published percentages d.
not represent the full strength OF
any of the schools.
There is not a district entered
which has not many potential vot-
ers in sight if the parents and
teachers will cooperate with the
children.
The Herald wishes to call atten-
ton again to the fact that the sub
scription price win not be reduced
to $1.50 per year for a short per-
iod as has been the practice for
the past several years.
In the ordinary subscription
campaign large leeway is given in
preference for new subscriptions
This newspaper values the renew
ais of the old subscriber just as
much as new ones.
Over 80 per sent of the farm.
ers in~the territory in which the
contending schools are located are
Herald subscribers at present. II
these farmers will pay arrearages
and not more than two years in adj
vance the lowest school in the
standing today will be well out in
front before the campaign ends.
The child in the Rural School
should be encouraged to keep ur
his interest in his educational adj.
vancement. The playground appli-
ances which the Herald will give
away at the close of the cam
paign will furnish wholesome
healthful amusement at not cent
of expense to the district.
In promoting this subscription
campaign the Herald had in mind
building up the goodwill of the
Riddles of the Rural School for fu-
ture development. Before the
campaign was started it was fully
explained to County Superintend-
ent Boerger who gave the plan his
unqualified Endorsement as he well
realizes the dire lack Of playground
appliances in tn Rural Schools of
the county.
Time is fileeting. The will tc.
work will win.

GREAT pictures have an intangible
something that makes them out
standing. Sometimes that something
that lifts a production from medioc-
rity into fame is love. Sometimes it
Is war. Often it is both, combined
with insidious elements of humor and
drama.
All these taken together seem to be
reflected in the photoplay, "The
Rough Riders" which opened local
engagement yesterday.
It pictures primarily q nation
thrown into a fever of patriotism by
the sinking of the Maine-many re-
member it. 1t also visualizes man
of dynamic instincts, picturesque lead
ership, and acute intelligence-things
that appeal to men of all races and all
classes-springing to the forefront of
an epic campaign in behalf of human
liberty. Such a man was Theodore
Roosevelt. And thus he is portrayed
in Paramount's production.
In this picture of war and sacrifice
also are pictured deeds of daring and
a love theme centralized in two brave
boys and a girl of rare sweetness and
loveliness, It would be despoiling ro-
nance itself to divulge which one wins
