HOME TALENT PLAY TO BE GIVEN NEXT WEEK

Rehearsals have been under way for the past several days at the Ellis theatre for the staging of the play, “The Giri In the Attic,” which is to be shown Friday and Saturday evenings of next week. The cast is made up of local people, and is being directed by Miss Hughes, a professional actress who played here recently with the King players. ,The play is .to be given under the auspices of the War Mothers and the money derived by the play will be applied to the fund which is ultimately to provide the county with a community building. In the cast will be found six ex-sol-dier boys and three young ladies, the sisters of soldiers. The names of those in the cast will not .be published- at this time, but will be published some time next week. However,/ the War Mothers state that all are very clever performers and that the play is bound to please as home talent plays have pleased in the past. ■ Tickets will be placed on sale early next week and the undertaking should receive the hearty support of our citizens, as the proceeds are to help fill a long felt want.
