musical comedy laugh show, with a
cast of over 100 of Pocomoke's best
selected singers, dancers, and dramat-
ic entertainers, is to be presented at
the Marva Theatre on next Wednes-
day and Thursday nights, June 1918,
and judging from the interest shown
about town, and the many flattering
remarks heard about the production,
''Mixed Pickels" will be the outstand-
ing local entertainment presented in
Pocomoke in many years.
The show is being sponsored by the
local Lions Club, the funds to be used
for correcting defective eyesight of
the grammar school children. Many
children of our schools need eye at
tention, the parents being financially
unable to have their eyes examined
and treated, and the Lions Club are
to be commended in this most worthy
undertaking and the people should
give them their hearty cooperation.
"Mixed Pickels" is being staged by
the Wheeler Producing Company. Mr..
and Mrs. Wheeler who are well known
in Pocomoke and have many friends
here, are personally coaching the pro-
duction, which is sufficient guarantee
of a high class entertainment. They
staged several big successes here in
1924-25-26-27-28, which will be re-
membered as the best local entertain
ment Pocomoke has ever had. Their
shows are always high class, most
entertaining, bordering on the pro-
fessional, properly staged, both as to
costumes and scenery, and every de-
tail for a finished performance thor
oughly carried out. These facts
stamp them as artists in their line of
work, and our people welcome them
back for another Of their always pop
ular and we'll liked entertainments.
"Mixed Pickels", written for laugh
ing purposes only, is big scream
from start to finish in three hilarious
ly funny acts. Bright and witty dia-
logue, prettily costumed singing and
dancing chorus numbers, solos and en-
sembles, set in background of bright
and colorful scenery, all combine in
making mixed Pickels" an entertain
ment that pleases all classes.
AS an added attraction to the musi-
cal comedy large number of child
rem are to take part in beautifully
costumed pageant, entitled, "The
Bouquet" Those who recall the
Wheeler Productions Of past seasons
will remember with pleasure the es-
pecially featured children's acts, and
"The Bouquet" number by the kiddies
promise to be one of the hits of the
performances.
"Mixed Pickels" has to do with a
train wreck in the mountains in the
dead of winter, the marooned passen-
gers being put up at the White Noun
tain Inn, an exclusive mountain re-
sort, with it's winter visitors and
sport followers. Among the passen-
gers and guests are two eloping
couples, also a big vaudeville act, en-
route to Montreal to open an engage
ment, and the comedy situations that
arise form the basis of one of the
funniest comedies on the stage today.
Prominent in the speaking parts
are the following well known
local people:-Sally Corbitt as the
dashing young widow; Miss Mildred
Hayman as Dorothy Pickles, the ro-
mantle young school girl, who elopes
with the millionaire father, played by
Mr. William Farmer; Mrs. David Wilt
bank, as the landlady of the White

one in which Mrs. Wiltbank will be
seen at her best; William Hardester
as the young and ambitious attorney
who elopes with the widow, Mrs.
William Hayman as Jonathan
Stout the chore boy at the Inn, who

and funny actions.
