Canceled Engagement With The Floating Theatre Co.

Edwin Robinson and Ray Laßue arrived home Sunday afternoon from Louisville, Ky., where they had severed their engagement in the band of the Sunny South floating theatre company. They Were out only about two weeks and had considerable experience, some of which was not very enjoyable. The .daily street parade required a hike of about two hours’ length, which almost put Ed on the hummer. There was no decent drinking water on the boat and every one of the band members and all of the theatrical bunch /carried revolvers and this didn’t look good to the 1913 high school grads. There was a cutting scrape one night ■feat didn’t look a. bit like the way disputes are settled in Indiana and everythink combined to make Ed and Ray long tor fee hash and fee soft beds of home.
