Let's Livelj * I On November 2 ?i 8:20 p. m, tho Palmetto Players will present, Tlioruton Wilder's farce, "The Merchant of Yonkers". This is a hllarioua hit In four acta, well producod, well caat. which you Juat inuat aoe! You'll enJoy the way the characters buatle mound tho Little Chapel Stage at Converse College, Spartanburg, S. C. Juat think! for 50 and 75 centa you get comedy, tragedy, and the latest slant on faahioua. Below la a feature from the "Farley Voo" of Converse college written about this swell production. Head It for yourself and see If you don't want to come. "Never let It be said that Spartanburg Is behind In the fashions. No siree?and moBt certainly not. This statement will soon be backed up by oonclualve proof and evidence that though we may be a wee bit backward In some of the Emily Post and Adrian Ideas, we are not behind In current sty^y^, and fashions. We aren't behind the times?we're Just behind with the buBtle, which Is definitely the correct note so far as feminine apparel goes for '39 and '40. At Converse College a veritable style center in Itself (plug Dr. B. Owathmey) youTwill soon see "The Merchant of Yonkers", a farce by Thornton Wilder, depicting the life, mannerisms and dress of the Eighteen Eighties. Maybe you have wondered If the new '39 bustle will prove to be a fad or a trend. Here Is your chance to see for yourself problems the real bustle would present. Just imagine the adjustments that would have to be made. Bustles would have to ride up practically alone In elevators. Bustles would have to go through insidious revolving doors somehow, and wedge their way into modern kitchenettes and Into telescoped breakfast nooks. Ladles just Imagine going to a picture show with a bustle on. Why don't look now but you'd probably be almost to the gallery level! "You think it would be easy, eh? Well, Just bear in mind that the real bustle didn't consist of bowe and puffs, frills, and gatherings at the back. No siree?it was not a garment thaF could be run up on a mass production basis to retail at $3.95. It was trimmed with yards of galloon, passementerie, bugles, buttons, lace and anything else that came in handy. Imagine bopnclng in and out of taxicabs and sitting down with a twelve Inch bird cage and several yaida OT heavy drapery?attached. "Converse leads In this key-note In fashions. As the chief characters in "The Merchant of Yonkers" bustle about the stage, they almost seem to be followed by some midgets! So don't fall to see this production on November 2, 8:30 p. m. and decide for yourself If Spartanburg and modern life can convert this age into one of baste and bustles Instead of paste and bustle."

For twenty-nine years he has boen trapping the deadly reptiles as a hobby, and hi that time he's captured at least 10,000. Lundin catcheB the snakes for a Tampa rattlesnake cannery. He receives from $2 to |5 a snake, and in one day he made a record haul of eighteen. The cannery conYeflb 'tftf to a table v'deficacy* " that is- sold throughout the' Wbfl<frv Lundin's equipment is a forked stick, a shovel, a few burlap bags, and a vast amount of courage. He refuses to wear gloves, and his only protection is a penknife for quick incision in case of a bite and a venom pump. Ho says catching rattlers is a "cinch" after a little experience. "It's easy to keep out of harm's way," he declares. "A rattler is unable to strike more than a third of its length. A Arm grip at the base of the head renders the snake powerless. Bagging him is not difficult or dangerous if you let go of him the instant he's in the bag." Returns After Forty Years W.
