vAsnoN Is IN DARKNESS

Like the old adage concerning miss
ing the water after the well runs dry
the village Of vashon is finding that
It isn't so much fun to go without
lights. Several weeks ago Burton and
vashon were notified that the bill for
their lights must be paid by the 18th
of this month, or out the lights would
go. The Burton Improvement Club
he'd, like the wise virgin, saved enough
of their carnival money and paid out
of It for the lights long before the finol
date. The vashon Business Mems
Club had spent oil Of their carnival
money for fire fighting equipment,
new high schools, ETC., so the amount
for lights had to be paid Ivy individuals
benefited. Some OF these failed To
bring their contribution by the 18th, SO
the whole village is In darkness, as a
result. 1t isn't SO bad, now that there
is q moon, but even so, It's bit
darker than normal.
The local manager of the light
company informs us that the follow
ing have paid their assessment: F. A.

SENIOR PLAY AN
ALL-STAR COMEDY

+
The Senior Glass will present Gam 1
Intruding," three act mystery
comedy play to be given at the Island
Club House April IS and 26. The
genera admission will be 35c for adults
and 25c for children. There is a
limited number Of reserved seats to be
he'd at soc. These tickets may be
secured at the high school or through
high school students.
'Am Intruding2" gives promise of
upholding the already established repu-
tation Of the school for presenting
good plays.
"Am I Intruding?" is a thoroughly
modern comedy causing laughter ga
lore and comes out quite differently
from what anyone in the audience is
expecting. There is really no big star
part, all the people in the cast having
an unusual opportunity to shine as
individuals.
The action hinges around the ef-
forts of Horace Ware, wealthy busi-
ness man, to keep from being frozen
out of the Bluebird Motor Corpor-
alton, in which he is a heavy stock
holder. Blair Hoover. an adveEturer
acquires some notes Of Wares when
the latter is short of cash, and threat
ems to ruin him unless he will sell his
Bluebird stock at low figure.
Ware has been orced into tight
corner financially when Jerry, eccen-
trio son of his comrade of years ago
appears on the scene. Jerry is .
regular rustic tornado, and sets GU,
not only to save the stock for Ware
but to win Wares daughter or him.
self. Jerry arrives fresh from Sage
Creek, by heck, and is about as much
at home in the palatial Ware house
hold as a bull in a china shop.
Besides his whirlwind courtship O
Margie, Jerry furnishes much amuse
ment for Margie's slangy young sister
vi, and the latter's bosom friend
Dora, who is tho dithcouraged owe
her love asfairth." And he upsets TIL
stately demeanor Of Wares studiou
niece, Jane, and her serious minded
secretary, Earnest. Meanwhile h
wins the admiration of Dickie waldror
who is busy raising mustache, and o
Peter, Wis schcolboy sweetheart. H

the expert French maid, and keeps hi
eagle eye on Mrs. Hastings, the mys
terious woman in black.
Throughout the three acts of Ear
Intrudingev the rapid action bring
about one situation after another 1
which are mingled thrills aud laugh
The interest is well sustained to tn
final curtain.
