Well Balanced Play
The committee from the Moro
Woman’s Club who selected the play
“ Adam and Eva” which is to be pre
sented at the Moro Legion Hall May
3rd, chose it from a couple of dozen
other plays under their consideration
because it had what the eminent
author and playwright John Gals
worthy says is essential to a good
play; what he terms “a spire of mean
ing” or outstanding motive. You
will readily recognize thia motive as
you watch the development of the
play. You will note also the appeal
it has for different types of people.
The men of the audience will enjoy
Mr. King in his efforts to deal with
his difficult family. The club ladies
will find Miss Abby Rocker full of
zest for their cause. The girls will
