Friday and Saturday, is the larg* est stage production to tour the South in the past two years, and " ' ClU'rit'X itture prudUctlun than any unit show to tour this section in the past five years. A representative of the Caro- J lina theatre, made a special trip to Atlanta last week to see this I attraction, and says, "With the JC exception of one principal, Helen Honah, the show is intact and we are getting the same show that p hat? played all erf the principal cit- f ies. The show has the most ela- ( borate state settings of any unit ( show we have ever played and. in c this respect, is highly meritori- t OU8." In Richmond, Virginia, the show s received more, praise than any '] show that has appeared there this t season. C |So large is "Hollywood Hotel Revue" there are only a few the- r atres in South Carolina, that have j stages large enough to hang all 1 the scenery and stage settings, 1 therefore, "Hollywood Hotel Re- 1 vue" will only appear ~Tn four < South Carolina?townej- namely. 1 Greenville, Spartanburg, -Charles- i ton and Columbia. ji ?? - ? fi Presei State Baptist Sh Annual Session Rock Hill, S.
