The County Fair scone in “The Punkin Husker” is about, as i the real thing as can possibly be gotten, one can almost imagine they taste the red lemonade and peanuts Not since “The Fair” was produced has there been such a decided' hit made by a rural comedy as has' been scored by Lawrence Russell's new comedy "The Punkin Husker” bearing an odd title filled with quaint characters, unique original situations the play is calculated to ' impress the average Americanjaudi once ever on the alert for novelties, i and quick to see and appreciate them when they materialize. The County Fair and its great race scenes, with its array of rustics, I grafters, sight sders, and lace t rackfollowers is but one of the many attractions that abound in this excellent play. Notice.
