The American Legion and auxil iary fave their play "The Sky Riders" on Saturday night at the school aud itorium. For some reason, possibly because there have been so many en tertainments of late there was only a small audience. Those who stayed away missed an evening of laughter and pleasure. The cast all played their parts very well. It would be difficult to say just who was best but Mrs. Clyde Carr as Helen Brown played her part in so realistic a man ner that it left nothing to be desired. Algernon Gordon Brown, an aviator by necessity, was played by Nate Ma comber. Nate has been in a great many of the home talent plays and is always good. Mrs. Macomber played the part of his wife, Mrs. Brown, in a very capable manner. Juliana Brown, the other daughter, was play ed by Flossie Officer. She was in league with Teddy Nixon (Opplc Wag ponor), wireless operator, and Horia Saunders (Clyde Carr), a pseudo avi ator. Koma, the Japanese valet, was acted by Olive Mefford, whose "Yes. Mees" brought some humorous mo ments. A home talent play is always en joyed and gives an evening of good wholesome fun. A dance followed with music by the Columbians of Ar lington. A.
