Presents “Cornzapoppin” At Joanna School Auditorium November 7-8. An enthusiastic and talented cast is at work daily on the forthcoming production of “Cornzapoppin,” the elaborate musical show which the Goldville chapter of Veterans of For eign Wars will sponsor Friday and Saturday, November 7 and 8, at 8 pun. as a benefit for a war memorial, at the Joanna school auditorium. “Cornzapoppin” is under the direc tion of Edith Hampton Koontz, rep resenting the Empire Producing com pany, Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Koontz has had considerable experience in this type of work, also special train ing for “Cornzapoppin,” and in an interview stated that she was greatly pleased with the cast and the cooperation of the organization, and anticipates one of the finest shows that she has ever directed. The show opens with the farmer ettes singing “1 Like Mountain Mu sic.” Cousin Lniney Pearl, played by Lavinia Cooley, is always busy col lecting rocks and mountain music. This song will go right down in her) book. Mary Simpson plays the part of Elviry Judkins, who “rules the roost” in the Judkins household. Her husband, Henry, played by Verlyn Davenport, is widely known. He is always having new ideas and finan cial failures. Elviry has her heart set on daughter Sue, played by Mary Francis, marrying Squire Hicks, played by James Fulmer, who is the town sheriff and lawyer combined. Sue, however, is much more inter ested in the young man who lives down the road. Roy Hawkins plays the part of Bob Sandrock. Sue has a brother Elmer, Squat Brock, who does not like girls, but does enjoy playing marbles. Mazie Mae, the girl from Frog Patch, thinks Elmer is wonder ful. The Judkins family live in the Skunlc Crik community, and Maw is the treasurer of the Skunk Crik Community club. For three days the water from Skunk Crik has smelled like lilac perfume. Juanita Daven port plays the part of Aunt Bessie, and she thinks Perfume from Skunk Crik is silly. And Aunt Bessie wor ried when her pet bear cub, Buster, disappears. Miss Twitty, played by Noami Sample, is also worried. Shei can’t make any headway with "that! man” Squire TTicks. ^ But all’s well that ends well, and; “Cornzapoppin” has a happy ending. According to advance reports from towns that have staged the show, ‘Cornzapoppin” is a- riot of comedy and entertainment, and it promises to be just that in Goldville. You will enjoy this three-act com edy-drama, the V. F. W. will greatly appreciate your patronage, as the profits will be used directly for the memorial project being planned in the Goldville community.
