X Play Was Success “Miss Blue Bonnett,” staged in McCormick High School Audi- torium, March 18th, was tremend ous success. Expert coaching de veloped a well-trained cast, not excepting the pretty costumed chorus girls who marked each step in perfect harmony. In spite of the fact that inclement weather conditions kept many away who had planned to attend, the pro ceeds totalled $58.50. We must praise the Wayne P. Sewell Co., of Atlanta, Ga., in rec ognition of his numerous high class plays, almost all of which we have used in .McCormick, also, ’on all of which the proceeds realized have been of special benefit in buying the beautiful high school curtain, books for the high school library and of benefit in beautify ing the high school grounds. —X.

The at tendance was near 200, a full dele gation from each club. The 4-H club girls acted as pages, and very- obliging and kind. At the entrance each one registered, and was tag ged. That made it very easy to get acquainted. We were highly entertained by excellent talks from Mrs. Williams, our district leader, and Miss Landrum, our state agent. The, object of the meeting was to elect officers for the Coun ty Council. This was done in a business like manner. The lunch was furnished by all the clubs, and most daintily served by the host ess club. The class rooms were used as dining rooms, where plates with pineapple, and pimento sand wiches, crackers, pickle, chicken salad on lettuce leaves, was served with iced tea with lemon and mint, also cake. Our agent offered a five dollar bill to the club who had ’ the most members present at this meeting. Mt. Carmel won the prize. Three cheers for Mt. Car mel. Rehoboth came second.

Hold Your Man” Very Laughable LAURA La PLANTE’S NEW FORCE COMEDY NOW AT THE DIXIE THEATRE A wife who wanted a career—a •husband who wanted to teach her a lesson—a romantic “nobleman” and “the other woman”—this quartette in “Hold Your Man,” which will open at the Dixie The atre Friday and Saturday, supplies more hearty entertainment than the screen has seen in many a moon. Laura La Plante has the stair* ing role in this hilarious Universal farce-comedy. It is an ideal part for the* blonde comedienne, 'and she gives one of the mpst polished performances of her distinguished career. Miss La Plante plays the role of the girl wife who is afflicted by de sire for an artistic career and more romance than her hard-working lawyer husband is willing or able to provide. She hies herself to Paris, leaving her husband at tho mercy of an old flame. In the colorful French capital she lends a willing ear to the flowery words of her model, the “Count de Rastignac.” Then come her husband and* the girl he in tends to marry as soon as a Paris divorce clears the way. A rdiny night imprisons the principals in one apartment—and affairs are ironed out to the tune of some of the fastest-moving and funniest action the camera has ever record ed. Opposite Miss La Plante appears Walter Scott, who performs like a veteran despite his comparatively recent introduction to the screen. Youthful and handsome, Scott, who already has made a reputa tion in stock and musical comedy, appears assured of a highly suc cessful film carer. Eugene Borden and Mildred Van Dorn also must bb credited with highly successful renditions of their parts. Action in “Hol& Your Man” shifts from New York to Paris. Most of the action takes place in the French capitol.* Emmett Flynn merits highest praise for his work in directing “Hold Your Man.” He has achiev ed a rapidly moving production, with no weak spots, and has util ized to the fullest extent the rich humorous opportunities afforded by the plot. The film is based on a story written by Maxine Alton.
