SQUARE CROOKS" AT
WORKERS HALL ON
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT

The junior class play of the Carbon
County High school, which was to
have been given in the Workers hall
/ last Friday evening and which was
postponed until Friday night of this
week, promises to have plenty of
competition. However, the work that
has been given to the production of
this play is deserving of recognition
and it is hoped that everyone will
make an endeavor to attend it.
We have given the play mention
several different times and our pub
licity ideas have about run out as to
this particular show In order to
give it proper recognition this week
we received unexpected help in the
form of Robert Clark, business man
ager of the play. Here is his write
up;
Again the juniors wish to an
nounee that their three-aet mystery
comedy play, Square Crooks" is one
that will appeal to the eye of the pub
lie. 1t is one that will make the peo-
pie hold their breath and then again
make them burst out with laughter.
1t is one that will make them shudder
with fear and then again sit back in
their seats at ease. A murder A
robbery! See the mystery solved. See
the Square Crooks prove their in
nocence.
IF you desire comedy, come and see
Elizabeth Barret act out the role of
the negro maid. See Phil Pollard and
Harry Edwards display their stage
talent in the role of the Square
Crooks. See Elmer Bowlen put fear
into you as the detective. We must
not forget the vallain, acted by
Bruno Bartoy. He will make you
shudder
Much time has been spent in get
ting this play down to perfection and
we hope it viii please the audience
as much as it has pleased us in be-
ing able to give the people this op-
portunity.
1--WE wish to thank those who were
kind enough to furnish us with
scenery and costumes. We wish to
thank Miss Hassell for the time and
work she has put in making the play
a success. We wish to thank the cast
for the time and work they have put
in, in order that they might please the
people.
