night but the show didn't go on as
scheduled; the weather prevented
it. The stage is definitely set for
this Friday, Dec. s. Curtain time:
8:15 pm.
DIR. Arnold Shaw, veteran di-
rector, told The Daily Express
that his cast shapes up as one of
the finest amateur groups ever
seen on a Dayton stage. And DR..

outstanding local director for a
number of years.
Under Shaw, Julian and Phillip

seasons ago promises to bring
three full acts of great comedy,
excellent direction and, at least, a
we~ll-trained cast.
Vashti Taylor and Herman Mo-
ten have the lead roles. Mrs. Tay.
