ANNOUNCE CAST FOR CLASS PLAY Monroe Seniors To Give “Oliver Twist” Monday Night At Berne Charles Dicken's famous classic "Oliver Twist” wil’ be presented by the senior class of Monroe high school on Thursday night, March 17. at the Berne Auditorium. This unusual and very dramatic play is being produced by special arrangement with the Northwestern Press of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The play will portray the filth and rowdyism of the slum class during the "workhouse'' days in the city of London. Early Victorian period costumes will be used. All of Dicken's best known characters take part in the play, including the villainous "Fagin.” whom everyone will hate wholeheartedly because of his (helving and his destruction of hnman lives. Then there is the lovable Oliver Twist whose joys and sorrows you will love to share. When "Oliver Twist” first ap- : peared as a novel, the good people lof England were quite horrified. Dickens had delved into the slums of London in order to point out a great moral and there were certain people who were greatly offended. Mr. Dickens, hearing of the criticism raised i>y his novel, answered them with the following words: ”1 confess that I have yet to learn that a lesson of the purest good may not be drawti from the vilest evil. I saw no reason when I wrote this book, why the very dregs of life should not serve the purpose of a moral. In this spirit I created in little Oliver the principal of good surviving through every adverse circumstance and triumphing at last.” People began to see “Oliver” in a new light and the hook became a sensation everywhere. The cast for the play is as follows: Fagin. —a notorious London “fence” —Gerhart Schwartz. The old woman in rags —Ester Evelyn Diehl.. Oliver Twist—a poor orphan — Anna Barbara Liechty. i Bill Sikes —a member of Fagin's gang—Leroy Schwartz. Nancy Sikes—his wife —Estella Ttuery. Mr. Monks—a mysterious visitor .- Loren Burkhead. t Mr. Grimes—a brave (?) plain clothes man —Willis Taylor. Mr. Brownlow—a wealthy barrister—Loris Neuensch wander. Rose Maley—as beautiful as she is good—Esther Steiner. Mrs. Maley —her aunt by adoption—Christine Andrews. Mrs. Bumble— scheming matron of the orphanage Helen Habegber. Mrs. Bedwin — housekeeper — Ruth Nussbaum. John Dawkins—the “artful lifter”— Elmer Nussbaum. Betsy—“that kind of a girl——Betty Burkhart. Anna —a maid —Inez Birch. o Trnde In A Cinod Town — Oerntiir AWMttHEIEKtBIIL CUCCTC SOLVING 9 HEALTH, happiness and economy BROTHERS problem, its fun to SOLVE tROS-TItS.RE-A Os EACH LINE TO FORM A 15EVEN WORD SENTENCE, ew |( ’ | roserte pain orli < sew ensn orclo ot star gmen "Men's garments are correctly shaped in pressing.” • a — -r- ,ai ceu- ■ e oulMMcq unoi »» a- a- " - J - - fc. • » Ellen Mailand. 723 N.

DEMANDS DEATH PENALTY FOR 19 Death Demanded For 19 Os Russian Defendants On Trial Moscow, Mar. 11. — (U.R> Death for 19 of the 21 prominent bolshe- ' viks charged with treason and murder wus demanded today by Attorney General Andrew Vlshinsky while movie cameras ground out the climatic scenes of Russia’s greatest mass political trial. The prosecutor demanded the firing squad for all but Christian Rakovsky. t former ambassador to Great Britain and France, and Ser- , gel A. Bessonov, former counselor of the embassy at Berlin, for whom he demanded 25 years in prison. “These gentlemen must be exterminated,” the prosecutor shouted to the audience In the hall of nobles, where powerful movie flood lights had been installed. Under the bluish brilliance the defendant*, some of whom for years had enjoyed almost unlimited power over many millions of people, sat shame faced as camera men swung their lenses about the ball recording the bizarre scene. "The historical significance of this band is that it established that the rightists. Trotskyists, nationalists and Zinovievists, are an unscrupulous band of spies, murder ers and wreckers.” Vishinsky declared. “There is nothing of principle, no ideas, nothing spiritual about this bloc. Some of the defendants, particularly Bukharin, tried to give and ideological and philosophical aspect,” , Like actors in the nightmarish

drums, defendant*, prosecutor* and spectator* played their part for the cameramen, who trained their camera now on Vishinsky, now on tlie prisoners' box, where Nikolai Bukharin, lender of the plot, sat making note*, now on the lmllet-i headed Vassily I’lrich, president of the military collegium. All phases of tlie trial were reviewed by Vishinsky. who took tip the crimes of each defendant sep arately and particularly flayed Bukharin, who lie suid maintained the “blackest role of a traitor and sold Ids fatherland." • “He was one of the super ban dits of the Trotsgy gag. They were the branch of the Japanese and German police slaves of for elgn espionage,” Vishinsky said. He then traced the connections of the espionage, denouncing Bukharin as an "accursed mixture of fox and swine.” Citing Faysulla Khodjalev, whose rich and influential family wus close to the empire of Vokhara. and Akmal Ikrainov, also a high official* of Hie (-astern province of I’zbekestan.
