High School Play BIS pm. Tonight

A good laugh is good for the soul. And there are at least hun dred good laughs in the three-act comedy, He Couldn't Marry Five Wh,ch is to be given by the Nome High School tonight at SIS pm. The title of this clever play alone !S enough to make one chuckle be- cause it brings to mind all sorts Of complications.
 Well, He Couldn't Marry Five more than lives up to it's title--it is at the same time laughable and charming, crazy and enjoyable. This is because t is so gay and Wcil-Written - its, characters so true 10 life. Yes, He Couldn't Mary Five" is very human play one that amuseS people while Scc4ng 1t, and they remember for q long time afterward.
 l. is different from the run-of- ;le-miil face comedies 10 whic:l we are used because it is not ex- a2Gerated or oVerdone -i it could happen, and who knows but what it has? He Couldn't Marry Eve" is the type of play that appeals to men, women, and children alike, so bring the whole family-they'll be grateful to you for having given them one of the most enjoyable evenings of the year when they see He Couldn't Marry Five"
