“MRS. TEMPLE’S TELEGRAM”
the play this year at the Rockford Grange
Hall on April 28th is rapidly rounding
into shape.
It has developed far enough for the wise
ones to safely predict that this comedy will
be the biggest fun producer put on at
the Grange up to the present time. If you
enjoyed last year’s show, be sure and see
