Roadside Theatre To
Present sherlock Holmes

That most famous of all thrillers,
Sherlock Holmes, will open a two
week engagement at the Roadside
Theatre beginning Monday, August
10. Director Harold A. Weinberger,
Designer-technician Edith I. Allen,
and Costume Designer Dorothy Gro
issant have all combined their talents
to faithfully reproduce that exciting
play that first thrilled audiences in
1899.
Three of A. Conan Doyle's stories
form the basis of William Gillette's
dramatization, "a Scandal in Bo-
hemia," ''The Final Problem" and
"a Study in Scarlet" A young girl,
Alice Faulkner, has certain letters
and photographs that prove a man
of one of the royal families of
Europe betrayed her sister.
On one side are ranged Holmes,
Watson, and Holmes aides; opposite
are the most desperate band of GRIM
inals in London, Moriarty and his
gang. Plot and counterpart, daring
schemes, thrilling escapes, and all
with the lovely Alice Faulker as the
focal point, pack the four acts of
the play with thrilling action and
suspense. How Holmes outwits his
adversaries, and finds romance in
the end make thoroughly enjoyable
and satisfying drama.
In the cast will be George Earring
ton as Holmes, Adele Gusack as
Alice, Frederick ]. Haskin, Jr., as
Moriarty, Carleton Ayes as DIR. Wat
son, Betty Gray as Madge Larrabee,
Harold A. Weinberger as Jim Lar
rabee, Milton Freedman, Harrison
Libbey, Frank Koonce, Jean Smith,
Joanna Adams, Edward Stevlingson,
John Rapport, and John Mcknight.

Washington Grove To
'BibIe" Base Ball

Under the auspices of the Com
mittee on Religious Activities of the
Washington Grove Association, SER
les of Bible Baseball games is be-
ing promoted during the month of
August. Players from the 9-to116
years of age group have been organ
lied into teams, with Doris Hastings
and Bob Griffith as managers. Il
Team members are given weeks
opportunity for preparation on each
of three sets of questions covering
~ important facts about the Bible,
(2) Old Testament Books and charac-
tiers, and (3) the Life and Parallels
of Jesus. The rules of baseball are
followed out, the pitcher sending a
question over the "plate" instead of
a ball. The first game was played on
August 4th and was not so hot, ow-
ing to the greenness of most of the
players. There was but one two-base
hit, while number of possible home
runs were spoiled by good fielding
when the batter went out on a fly.
Twice when bases were full, the pitch
er's strategy retired the side without
a score. The score was held down
to one to one, with no time to play
off the tie. The next game on Tues
day, Aug. 18th promises some hard
playing.
A selected team of the Juniors
will challenge any impromptu team
of the Elders at the final game on
August 25th. Announcement will be
made later.

Parents need to watch carefully
the posture of children. Any ten
dency to stopped shoulders, to hip
curvature, or slouchiness, should
be corrected. Boys who carry
papers are ap to have one Shout

on one hip and thus one hip

School Day At The Fair
Brings Best Crowds Yet
All White School Children Given Half Holiday; Merry
Throngs Jostle About Tu esday Night; High Dive
and Other Free Acts Offer Real Thrills

School day today brought the big
gest attendance of the week at the
Golden Belt Fair, and the grounds
were we'll filled this afternoon with
both young people and adults.
All white schools of the city and
county dismissed classes shortly after
the noon hour for the remainder of
the day to afford the young people an
opportunity to be on hand for the aft
ernoon and evening. And many OF
them were accompanied to the fair by
their parents and others.
The children had opportunity to OBJ
serve in the main exhibit hall the
best displays the fair has offered in
several seasons, and these were OF
especial interest because several
schools had booths we'll prepared and
displayed showing the work of the
pupils.
The free acts and the high dive
were given this afternoon and will
be repeated tonight for the benefit OF
the crowds in attendance.
Usually school day brings the lar
gest crowds of the week to the fair,
although Thursday and Friday have
their full quota of attendance by old
and young.
Visitors today found the greatest
array of Midway attractions since the
depression to add amusement to edu-
cation afforded in the exhibit hall
All corners found no difficulty in To-
eating instructive and entertaining
features prepared for their benefit.
In the exhibit hall are displays by
the Perry library, home demonstra-
tion clubs, soil erosion, WPA &C
tivities, farm homes, business estab-
lishments, canning activities and the
like.
On the Midway are some ~ to Is
shows and about dozen rides, to say
nothing of the concessions and eating
establishments.
The Tuesday night crowd was much
larger than that of Monday night, and
the free acts drew a large crowd

dive exhibition Of fair week. dropping
