Askov American., 1943-05-13
ASKOV
To Present Programs.

Two programs Well Worthwhile
attending are being presented by the
Askov high school within the next
fews days, the first being the senior
class play in the school auditorium
tomorrow evening, and the other
movie and lecture by Stanley Os-
borne under the sponsorship of the
extension division of the University
of Minnesota.
An old time melodrama, the high
school play, Pure as the Driven
Snow; or a Working Girls Secret"
will have all the characters of the
old opera house days, including a
beautiful heroine, noble hero and
a black-bearded william. The play is
in three acts and the cast has spent
a good deal of time and thought in
gathering costumes and rehearsing
the parts. With many humorous sit
uations and screamingly funny lines
the audience is promised full eve
ming of fun and entertainment. Miss
Emily McSherry is the director.
Presenting the Dutch East Indies
in movies and lecture Monday night,
Stanley Osborne will show the drama,
the adventure and romance that
made up the strange life in those
islands, now under Japanese con-
troll. American interest in that part
part of the world is mounting, for it
is obvious that the major part of the
invading force that General Mac
Arthur will some day send against
the japanese in Java will be Amer
ican.
Mr. Osborne, trained observer,
will take his audience into Java,
Borneo, Sumatra, Bali and New
Guinea. In color and motion pic
lures he will show the natives and
their handicrafts, the antics of the
jungle animals, the beautifully cos
tuned dancers of Bali, and cannibals
of New Guinea.
