"Katcha-Koo", the spectacular local talent play given under the auspices of the Dusiness Women's Club, drew two large audiences to the local thea tre Monday and Tuesday night and pleased cn both occasions. Generous applause during the two presentations and complimcntary criticisms after the performances conilrmed the ad vance notices that the play described as "An Oriental-American Fantas tigue," would be one of unusual merit. Visitors from several surrouniding towns were In the audiences. While all of tle participants in the Play rendered their parts excellently, exception work on the part of some made the real success that it was. W. M'. Meng, the old reliable, lived uip to and possibly excelled his past reputa tion, taking the title role. Miss Gladys Roper, as Selajah, and Miss Martha Franks, as Mrs. Chattle Gaddin, were unusually effective in their parts, their associates, however, not having the same opportunity to display their talents. The song "Tell Me 'Why You [ove Me," by Messrs. William (Giray and Margaret Wright, proved one of the delightful features of the evenling, while the solo dancing of liss larlan Crows was beautiful in its grace and charm. Many others were hardly less worthy of special mention, but to enumerate all of the deserving would be to print the entire caste, the Grand Finale at the close, however, being a v(ry effective scene. The success of the entertainment is (dule to the combined efforts of the (i rector, .Iliss Grace Wandel, repre.sent ing the John. It. Rogers Producing Company, and the Caste itself. Miss Wn111del proved herself a director of tact and ability, putting on the play in a reimarkably short .time. Mrs. Harry Paulsen, accompanist, was of great help in staging the performance. being a -willing and talented musician. The program was made more enjoy able by the special musical program rendered by the local orchestra before the performance. hILLIN( AT ('LIN'T'ON Negro hills Another Near Main Street in Clinton.
