These attractive young ladies smile at you' from every page. They are inj prominence just now sb an important part of the much talked of Juniorl League Revue which takes place in the Columbia Theatre this week.1 Camden indeed has a treat in store for April the 17th judging by the write ups which have appeared in papers following a performance of these amazing amateurs. I say] amazing for while the girls arej amateurs one could most certainly, not call their performance amateurish.' In fact, Ben Ressler, theatrical critic' for one of the Spartanburg papers,' | said, of them after their performance in that city?-The University of S.: C. Co-Ed Follies has it all over many, of the professional turns of its typo, which play through dut the country.' Whoever trained that chorus suro knew their business. "And from the Columbia State?"The program is so complete and so excellently presented that it is hard to pick out any one of-' | fering and declare it to be the best' of all but each of the various chorus dances, with their intricate move-! | ments, is presented in such a man-! ner that it would be hard to improve upon them. The brilliant costumes, (a now one tn each dance, surpass* in beauty uny costumes ever seen here [ in an amateur production. They were | designed from the latest theatrical models and are all that could be desired^1? ? - 1 Then hear this from Winston-Salem ?"Often an act that has its origin on a college campus is amateurish and most of the time extremely rotten. But such is not true of The Co-Ed Follies, a troupe composed of girl.s from the University of South Carolina who are playing at the Auditorium Theater thid week. These little lassies certainly know their way about, especially when it comes to hoofing. The whole act is good. In fact a good deal above the average Keith act.", ! ? To Present Play gt Bl&ney The Midway High School faculty will present a <,play entitled "Poor Father," at the Blaney High School Friday evening, April 6, at 8:16 o'clock. A small admission fee will be charged. ?? i '> -Beath of A* J. Twitty Westville, S. C.," April 2.?Mr. Andrew J.
