WEDDING OF MISS SNODCRASS
HIGH SPOT OF SOCIAL SEASON
70 MEN OF COMMUNITY BARE
THEIR BACKS TO THE
SOCIAL GLARE

The Womanlegs Wedding, pre-
sented by home talent, at the Lib
erty Monday and Tuesday was a
novel and spectacular entertain
ment feature that surprised and
convulsed large houses. 1t was a
burlesque that included numerous
phases of American life. It's bid
for popularity as we'll as it's power
to entertain springs from the
ability of most any populous com
munity to reproduce in miniature
the drama of American life includ-
ing examples of normalcy and of
the famous as we'll as the ludicrous
Woman's Club Enterprise
The large undertaking of putting
on the Womanless Wedding was
sponsored by the local Women's
club which is to be congratulated
on the fine success achieved in
spite of decidedly adverse condi-
tions in the matter of severe
weather and the influenza epidem-
ic Miss Gage, representing a
company which holds a copyright
on the play and furnishes some of
the costumes, ably assisted in ar
ranging for the entertainment and
coaching the actors. Miss Gage
was taken sick soon after her ar
rival, and was greatly hampered
in her work. The undertaking was
a financial success despite the
sensational drop in temperature
Monday evening which deferred
large numbers from coming from
distance to see the show, espec-
tally Tuesday evening.
