“SWEET LAVENDER” BY H. S. TONIGHT

High School Had Final Rehearsal and All is in Readiness for Presentation. The high school, always good In amateur dramatics,' have spent a long preparing for presentation the beautiful English drama, “Sweet Lavender,” and it will be given at the opera house this evening. x The demand- for seats for high school plays is always large among school patrons and it is quite certain that when the curtain goes up on the first act every bit of available space in Ellis Theatre will be taken. The reserved sale began Tuesday evening, following the first announcement in The Republican, and they went so fast that many who had hoped for good seats were disappointed. The community Is right in giving the high school pupils this sort of patronage and in lending support to this feature of school life. The schools should be very near to the hearts of all and whenever an entertainment is given to which the public is invited there is benefit to both the schools and the public in consequence. .Aside from this fact is the certainty that all who witness the high school plays will get their money’s worth, and frdm all advance statements this is especially true of “Sweet Lavender.”
