TOBEI In PLAY
Harrington Dramatists
Plan Horror Play
To Get Funds
Especial to The HeraIdl

HARLINGEN, May 9.-The best
geological, dramatic, and literary tai
ent in Harlingen has been drafted
into service to write the lines, ar
range settings, and settle other de-
tails Of the three-act play which is
TO be staged at the Fair grounds here
the night Of Tuesday, May %, with
wild animals taking the leading part.
Indians, a tenderfoot, and an auto
mobile also are TO figure in the
drama. which will be a thriller, with
lots of horror in il, according to A.
d. Holmes, commissioner Of the parks
and zoo, who is arranging it.
The play is Il be for the zoo fund.
and tickets, accompanied by tags, arc
being sold now. New animals are
needed to liven up Zootown, accord
ing to Mr.. Holmes, and this method
of securing them has been decided
upon.
The play opens with an ordinary
scene in which hunters are camped by
the roadside, when 10, an automobile
from Chicago approaches with a ten
derfoot in il. He asks the way TO
Harlingen, and after some discussion
accompanies the hunters. And 10,
again.
The tenderfoot is found out in the
wild wood, of the Limberlost variety,
all by himself and scared, in the sec
ond act. The story does not tell how
he got there, but there he is. And
some horrors are thrown in at this
point. Animals and snakes rush at
him. and more horrors are thrown in,
to be adjusted later TO fit the audi
ence. Scene shutters and gag men are
working hardest on this part at the
present time. as they want TO gee
the real life touch 10 il, they declare.
Then the tenderfoot is found tied
TO a stake out in the wild woods.
Then the animals rush at him in q
body. Snakes, wildcats, bobcats, ana
any other new animals, If the ZOO
happens TO get any more by that
time.
The catch in the play will be what
happens 10 the tenderfoot. The scene
shifters believe they will make the
audience believe he is eaten up. but
there is some difference OF opinion
on this point, as some unbelieving
declare that he won't be eas-
Mystery which wells this may re-
unsolved through the age.

assistant to DR. Cummings OF the

talk to the high school students
Thursday morning which graphically
covered the story of some OF the
archaeological expeditions which he
and DR.. Cummings have made in
parts of Arizona
Stressing the richness of the field,
Mr.. Hand invoked the interest OF his
hearers in an effort locally to explore
the mountains near here with ne
reasonable certainty Of unearthing
material which would be o great aid
to science and add to the historical
Importance of the locality.
Alluding to the certain evidences
which have been found o. Two types
of prehistoric dwellerS in the canyons
and plateaus of the southwest the
speaker said that there were many
evidences OF ancient homes of the
pit dwellers within Icw miles Of
Tombstone, some Of which he had
found and explored.
He. described the fin0ing CT num-
mics in the northern part OF the
state which belonged TO this first
race who inhabited this region, one
of which, contrary to the usual sup
position, was of an athletic individual
more than six feet tall and net the
! generally accepted pignny. He told OF
the finding of numerous sandals OF
these people made OF fibre and with
crescent shaped toes, so fashioned in
order To make walking on steep places
safer; Of cotton cloth. specimen OF

suggestion that the people Oh ToTro-
stone ought to foster explorations in
the vicinity and found a museum
here, saying that the same would be
instructive and major attraction for
tourists.
