HOME TALENT PLAY TO BE GIVEN NEXT TUESDAY EVENING A Prairie Rose Mingles Comedy With Heavy Drama; Auspices of Episcopal Church. The play, "A Prairie Rose," which is to be given for the benefit of the Episcopal church in the high school auditorium next Tuesday evening, is about ready for presentation. Although the parts are well bal anced, and there Is no distinctive lead, the burden of the story rests upon DeLoris Pearson as Prairie Rose, and Paul Gemmell at Dr. Raymond. The character of Prairie Rose, and Paul Gemmell as Dr. play is a harum-scarum cow-girl of the Kansas plains and later devel ops into a refined young woman, Is cleverly depicted by Miss Pearson. Paul Gemmell -Hivetihe part of young Dr. Raymond in the story of his love for Prairie Rose, and car ries his audience with him in his great disappointment and still greater triumph. Martha Wilson plays the part of Agnes Raymond, the Doctor's di vorced wife, who is the obstacle in the way of Rost's love for the doc tor and causes her deep heartache. Pat Mollahan touches the heart of all as Bill Briggs, the disappointed cowboy lover and pal of Rose's childhood days, when he, under false impressions, defends Rose and makes trouble for Dr. Ray mond. Dignity Is' added to the play by Philip von Lubken as Ralph Wil der, the wealthy father of Rose, who left her with his brother Silos in the time of her Infancy and at the time of the play returns to claim her. With this thrilling drama is min gled a comedy, which is furnished by the remainder of the cast Ar chie Featherhead, the English dude, attempts the dramatic and achieves the ridiculous. Crocket Sprouls in this role will bring down' the, house with laughter. F. B. Nickerson in the character of Mose, the negro servant in his by-play with other comedians adds a touch of negro dialect and humor which is bound to bring a hearty response from the audience. The public will miss the treat of their lives if they fail to see Ann Murray as Lizy Jane, the old maid, who is bound to got a man in spite of Helen High Tide. The first vic tim is Archie, the last, Silas, who is the uncle of Prairie Rose. C. J. Walker as Silas, the deaf old rancher, who is crude and uneducat ed, Is comical, yet pathetic in his fatherly love for Rose. Phillip Bryant, a young lawyer, and Dorothy, his sweetheart and wife, are characterizations por trayed by Jim Thomson and Mary Patterson and give a pleasing touch to the drama in a love story of their own. Jlmmie Thomson takes the part of Phillip Bryant to perfection He shows himself a good comrade of Dr. Raymond and the ideal lov er, while Mary Patterson supports him well as his sweetheart, a sweet adorable girl. The whole cast has been well cho sen and has worked very diligently and the play is an assured success. It has already been presented twice in the county with great success, and those attending may look for ward to one of the best entertain ments of the year. The price of ad mission Is 25 cents for children, 50 cents for adults and 75 cents for re served seats. Reserved seats arc now on sale at Humphreys Drug Co. CARD OF THANKS.

BOOSTER EDITION POSSIBLE ISSUE ' FEBRUARY 16TH If it happens that the big boost er edition of the Gazette Times is delayed a week it will only mean that it will be so much larger, better and more accurate. In this work we have suffered many set backs and among the least of these we are glad to say were machinery breakdowns. Power sometimes was not avail able as all of our readers know, and It surely does take "power" both ways from Sunday to run a .printing office and a newspaper bi the same office on a business ba sis. We know that every man, woman and child in this county Is looking for copy of THAT BIG BOOSTER EDITION. And we well know also that If a vote of the people of this county were taken today and that if we could have It counted correctly before the issuance of this edition, that "YOU" as tax payers and voters of this county would in this In stance be ONE HUNDRED PER CENTERS.. If one single small part of this county Is worth sell ing it is worth advertising. If one part Is worth advertising to the outside world it Is worth while for us to advertise the whole.
