“FI-FI” WILL BE PRESENTED TONIGHT

Charity Play at Opera House Will Be Given This Evening By Local Talent—Friday Eve Also. “Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop” ’s the name of the play to be given this evening at the opera house under the auspices of the local charity board. Local talent will be used in the production of this play, which will be given both tonight and again Friday evening. For the past two or three weeks the amateur actors and’ actresses have been rehearsing under the direction of Mr. Cooper of the Rogers Producing Co. An extremely large cast is required for this play, as well as elaborate costuming and much scenjc equipment. “Fi-Fi” is something a littleout of the ordinary and those witnessing this production will be agreeably surprised. The musical numbers, of which there will be a great many, promise all lovers of music a rare treat. Since this play is given in the interest of the poor of the community, no one should fail to attend at least one of the two nights that it is given. Home talent plays never fail to attract a large audience and this one should be no exception.
