JLm Dallas Players Will Present "The Great Catastrophe" at Wag ner's Hall Tonight. The comedy, "The Great Catastro phe," given for the benefit of the library last week, was such a success here that the manngement has decided to take the production to Falls City tonight A special train wilt be run from Dallas, leaving at 6 :30 o'clock this evening, and returning after the play. The players will be the same as appeared here, except that Mrs. Louis Gerlinger, Jr., who was originally cast for the leading part, wjll appear at Falls City as Violet Drew, instead of Miss Georgia Martin, who played the part here. George Bennett will give his mono logues, songs and magio fctunta, and some excellent music will be fur nished by a young ladies' quartette from Dallas. The young people give an enjoyable entertainment, and the amusement- loving folk of our neighbor town will not miss it when they buy their tickets for "The Great Catastrophe." The play, as presented by these amateurs, is far more entertaining than the per formances usually given by the pro fessional companies that visit the valley towns, and the people of Falls City may rest assured that no effort will be spared to give them a pleasant evening. Pleasant Graduating Exercises. Enjoyable graduating exercises were held In Bailston last Friday night, when eight bright boys and girls received their diplomas, certify ing that they had satisfactorily com pleted the six grades in the public school course. The Woodman Hall, which had been handsomely decorated for the occasion, was crowded by the relatives and friends of the class. The graduating essays were of a high order of excellence, and showed the careful training the young people had received at the hands of the teach ers, Mrs. H. is. Blough and Miss Olive Williams. The members of the class were Zalma Butler, Gladys Chandler, Eunice Ottinger, Mattle Garrett, Hilda Clark and Richard Ottinger. The address to the class was delivered by Professor H. B. Blough, a former principal of the school. Splendid work has been done by the teachers and pupils this year, as is eloquently attested by the fact that the graduating class received the highest grades in the county in the eighth grade examinations. The peo ple of Bailston have good reason to be proud of their public school. DRAMA AT FALLS CITY The Obsebveb office wants the print ing you are particular about.
