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.

I The meeting at The McCormick
High School building Saturday was
a very pleasantly one. 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

too feel proud of our record, but

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.
