CLASS PLAY TWO NIGHTS THIS WEEK

“Adventures of Braggs” a Comedy of Clever Misunderstandings— Other H. S. Events.

The senior class play, which is to be -produced on Wednesday and Thursday, May 20 and 21, at the Ellis Theatre, is a comedy of three acts. The story presented shows how an enterprising newspaper reporter, in order to get a sensational article concerning Col. Braggs, candidate for judge, induces a college friend to impersonate the colonel ata military ball given in the to#n where the Colonel is spending a few days gathering votes. The actions of the “Colonel” at the ball are rather strange for a man of his age and dignity and of course are accurately chronicled by the morning paper. The results of the escapade involve the real Colonel Braggs in many embarrassments, including a duel, but wins for the reporter the daughter of the editor. The cast presenting the play has been well trained and the production threatens to be received with even more favor than “The Private Secretary, which was so successful two years ago.
