WHAT'S NEW
in TOWN
by Observer

tell about something good that's
going to happen before it is an ac-
tuality but we're casting this su-
perstition aside to tell you there is
3, movement afoot, barely per-
ceptible as yet, to start a Little
Theatre in Smyrna. 1t began with
an editorial in this paper three
weeks ago but has advanced quite
a bit since then. In fact, a most
wonderful place has been located
that would be ideal for the theatre
| We are not saying where it is
since we are not sure yet that it
can be had, but it has atmosphere
galore. The plans are somewhat
hazy but the idea is to get an in
terested nucleus of people, who will
work together to build stage, act
on it, get subscriptions and the
like. Fifty members, to subscribe
for the season would easily carry
it. If this place can be secured,
it's going to be great fun fixing it
UP. The floor is packed dirt and
rough benches will be used for
seats. Naturally nobody is going
to tackle Hamlet the first season.
The idea is to give about one play
month during the Spring, Sum-
mer and Fall and occasionally in
vite the Drama League of Will
mington down for performance.
If you are interested in this idea
I please communicate with Observ-
er, care Of this paper.
Don't miss the free movie and
demonstration that will be present
