Two one-act dramas, specialties and musical feat- tires are only a portion of the things that are to be given the public, but the big hit of the season will be the ay tho stage Is set during the acts. The average theatergoer Is accustomed to have the curtain dropped and what takes place between the acts kept from the public . Here will be a case here the curtain stays up and the ork of setting the stage will be done In the open. Local boys are behind the movement and something good Is ure to be given the public.
