mere. well-known Broadway and
Hollywood actor. acclaimed Huck
Finn as one of the finest student
shows he has seen.
Those who know the novel
will enjoy meeting again in the
musical the familiar, well-loved
characters; Huck, Jim, Tom Saw
yer and his gang, Widow Doug
lass, the King and the Duke, and
Pap. Much of the musical is built
around Huck and Jim'S adventures
on their raft (the Mississippi is
scenically depicted right on
stageD and the wiley machina-
tions of those two neal do-wellS,
the King and the Duke and the
methods they use to hoodwink an
entire town and steal a fortune.
The show contains a dozen
songs, ranging from h e haunt
ing and melodious River Song,
to the amusing novelty number
King Sol He Warn't So Wise, and
the lifting love ballad Miss Mary
Jane.
With a cast of thirty. la"re
chorus, and many colorful cos
tunes and sets, Huck Finn is a
clean, delightful evenir5 of en-
tertainment for audiences of all
ages.

"The fish were that strong that
before 1 could land 'em I had to

been made by the company since
it opened at its present location
in 1915: the company having its
own saWmill operations. Sometime
ago, an addition was built to the
office building and complete
line of farmers and builders hard
