Third Play Being
Readied For Stage

The third play, The Importance
of Being Earnest" finds the Gar
rctt County Playhouse reaching
the halfway point in its production
schedule. 1t will be presented next
week starting Tuesday, July 10, and
will be given nightly through July
%.
Audiences from the first two
plays may be surprised at some of
the casting. Helen Camp, who is
remembered for her weird cos
tunes and mad characterizations,
will play a leading lady role and
will appear for change in her
own face and figure.
Dick Higgins, the Playhousc's
technical director, will be seen in
front of the audiences for the first
time this summer in the role of
Lane.
Leonard Drum and d. G.. Buck
les will play the two young men
about town. Buckles is recreating
the same rolc-Algernon-that he
originally played in the University
of New Mexico production of Earn
est Most of the costumes in the
play are from that original produc-
ton, loaned to the Playhouse by
the drama department of the uni
versity. They are being altered for
the actors by Mrs Marvin Jones
and Mrs Jack Grimes, of Mt. Lake
Park
Included in the cast next week
is Miss Indie Sue Thomasson, of
Mt. Lake Park and harrington, Ill,
who plays the maid.
Earnest" is considered hilari-
Gus comedy of high society and mis-
taken identity, and general foolish
ness, distinct change from the
brooding mystery of the current
show, Night Must Fall"
Almost five hundred people
turned out for the first weeks pro-
duction, "Blithe Spirit" and there
were indications that the attend
ance was increasing during the
present weeks performances.
Others participating in next
weeks performance are Miss Bon
ME Barton as Lady Bracknell Miss
Rosetta Flippin as Miss Prism;
Miss Suzanne Oglesby as Cecily;
Tom CalkinS as DR.. Chausable.
Curtain time at all performances
is 8:15. Subscribers are urged to
make reservations early

Many and varied have been the
requests upon Sheriff Paul w
Fisher but this week is the first
time he was called upon to aid in
consummating wedding.
Quite a bit was involved before
the wedding took place but finally
it was performed Monday after
noon at 2 o'clock.
Donald Noslik. of Baltimore, and
Dolly Patton, II, of near Accident,
applied for a marriage license last
Wednesday, Mrs. Curtis Patton,
mother of the girl, agreed to give
her consent to the marriage since
the girl was under the legal age of
Is.
After preliminary arrangements
had been completed Mrs. Patton
returned to Baltimore with the
couple for the weekend. They re-
turned to this county early Monday
morning but when the mother dis
covered that her daughter planned
to return to Baltimore following
the ceremony instead of spending
several weeks at the Patton home,
she decided she wouldn't give her
consent.
That's where the sheriff entered
the picture, for the couple went to
him and sought his help. The
sheriff was sympathetic but had no
solution to offer but things began
to pop soon thereafter.

survey, was made to the Mayor and

Mace, district soil conservationiSt

three weeks ago, and readings have
been gathered from the mouth of
the Little Youghiogheny to point
east of Oakland. Charts are now
being made of the work already
done. Temporary sites have been
selected where conservation engi-
neerS feel would be good spots to
slow up the flow of water in case
of flash floods such as hit this
section last Saturday night
A committee was named to make
close study of flood control
which included Maurice Brookhart
as member of the town council;
Lewis r. Jones as city attorney,
r. c. McComas as representative
from the County Commissioners,
w. Dwight Slower, attorney to the
County Commissioners, and repre-
sentatives from the Soil Conserva-
ton service.
