|W$f'Corpor*l Eager.," a laughable Play
,?j of Soldier Life Will Be Presented
1 Monday aud T?j?tday ?v cmztg;*.
Cact of Ouc Hundred and Fifty
Local People. Mimtrel Al*o a Big
Feature. t
On next Monday and Tuesday the
Boone Civitan Club will stage the
sensational comedy drama of the
American Tookie, "Corporal Eagen."
It is a rolilcking comedy of rookie
life and is a scream from start to
finish. It is nut only comedy, but also
h*is a great deal of patriotism and is
staged in a very spectacular manner.
It is, without a doubt, the greatest
si ow ever offered by ao amateur ..
cast. It is put on under the direction ?
of the Universal Producing Company, 1
and everywhere the show L? acclaimed *
an unusual success. The scene is laid
in the comjjkny street of Camp Shove
Off, with an army, barracks as background.
Special scenery and costurne3
for this production are being shipped
I here by the company. It is unique and
a sensational production. ?
The story of "Corporal Eageri"
centers around Red Eagen, an Irish
doughboy, played by G. G. Page., and'
his screamingly funny Jewish buddy,
lisy Goldstein, played by J. 0. McCbnncii.
Eagen and Goldstein have
been in the army only thirty days,
just long enough to think that they ^
knew it all and know nothing. They n
pretend to be verv brave ??d ir. fart
(arc very scared; when anyone is j,
around. Red Eagen is looking for a u
big promotion because Ke toid bis
girl. Sally O'Neii, played by Louise
Critchor, that be was going to be a E
captain. However, instead of getting
h captains* commission, he gets in
bad with the top sergeant, played by ,,
Frank Moore, and is put en K. P. l*
duty. His buddy, fzzy. is thrown on
K. P v.itlj him far laughing ut him.
After Red and Irzy are thrown on ^
K. P., Red's gir!, Solly, comes to see j,
him in his new uniform and Red has
to hide to keep her from knowing
he is on K. P. Around this potato'
pile a lot of the copiedy revolves. ^
Red manages to hide from his girl
for awhile and then news comes of j
a spy being in camp and Sally-is m'sC
taken for the spy .The guard, a very jr
hard-boiled character, played by Hnbert
Coffey, finds Sally and sends!
her to the guard house to be shot at 1
' five hells Then Red and Isav start
out to save her and while walking (
Ac guard, Red through an accident cap- tures
the spy, saves his girl and is g
R promoted to a corporal. He then (rets
j| to drill the famous awkward squad.
St About this time the Armistice is
? signed and Red gets to go back to
Ji Four Corners and marry Sally.
M There ure a lot of funny situations
33c AA? '-xi , ? .*? ?
ini i-iic oriov*. ivt u riiij ' /.i.y Uill L' up ,
the nurses and this way Ued gets in
bad with his girl Sally. The nurses
i arc played by Mildred Stott and Mrs. .
Joe Crawford. Two old men, the !r- 1
; ishman and the Jew, father., of Ked
: and Is.zy, played by J. I). Stee}e and
' Joe Crawford, also fall in love with
i the' nurses and spend all their time
[. rnak'ng love to them. The oid maid
war worker is trying to find a bus (
band and finally nabs the 5/ M. C.
A. worker, played by Erie Greer and
T. B. Moore, and elopes with him.
Therg are a number of army scenes
sensationally staged. A reveille scene I
in the opening of the first act is true a
to life. Many of the scenes will bring g
back memories, such as capturing the s
spy, being on guard duty. etc. Also a
there is the scone of Sally hiding un- tJ
der the potato sacks to keep the n
guard from catching her, with many 1
vub other such scenes which are true to
army life, especially to service men. h
Not only the story and plot of the v
JH play is funny and sensational, but v
SmB the show opens with a patriotic pag- d
SB eant that includes approximately 75 b
gg local youngsters as well as the grown
<M people of the cast. . In the specfAl h
ij$ pageant, "My Dream of the Big Pa- p
M lade," the lines will be road by Prof,
I. G. Greer, dressed in uniform. The f
pageant, is finished by all singing a
9 "Over There" and waving a mass of s
St flags. t
Another specialty is the men's j
sailor chorus, the participants being
dressed in naval uniforms and sing- j
ing a number of-old time army songs.
The soldiers making up the reveille
&./j ana the squad scenes also lend a lot
Ifi of color to the show. \
B The big laugh feature of the per- .
W . formance is the awkward squad, com- a
pjf posed of eighteen business men ?
Inlaying me part oi eighteen ggwtg s
rookies. They represent soldiers who
hare been in the army only thirty t
days, and everyone portrays a par- t
ticnlar type of character such as t
Private Sammy, Mammas' Boy. Pri- t
vate Hungry lfank, Whistlin' Bill
Spivis, etc. Everyone is dressed in a j
particular way to represent these fa- j
mous characters and they are bossed r
hy the hard-boiled army sergeant, s
who has a lot of trouble mak:ng sol- [
diers out of them. The awkward j
squad opens the show with a big
reveille scene, which is a big hit. l
They also take part in several other (
high spots of the show, such as drill- .

JUDGE JOHNSON J J
MASTERFUL ADDR
Honorable Johnson J. Hayes, judge;
)f the Federal Court, Middle District
)f North Carolina, addressed the B.:
if. P. U. Conference of Three Forks!
Association Sunday at Cove Creek
Baptist Church and his masterful dislourse
was well received by the large
audience present. Every word spoken
oy the eminent jurist was filled with
oropelling power. The brief history
of his own experience with relation
to his travels through poverty's vale,
struggling to secure an education and
to totally and permanently eclipse
any and every thought of the use of
intoxicants from his life, as well as'
every weight that might tend to hin-j
V.:n~ from renohine the goal;
sought, was looked on as a lesson
which should be permanently fixed
in the minds of the young men and
women pesent, and result in the conformation
of each into straight, upright
citizens.
In commenting on Judge Hayes'
iddress, a resident of the Sugar Grove
section has the following to say:
'Men accustomed to making addresses
should remember that he who
goes to the letter goes hut skin deep;
but that he who goes as did this great
judge?to the spirit?reaches the
paradistical, and there communes
with the absolutely pure in thought,
and is for the time being fed by the
Great Spirit on that bread and water,

have existed in the past, wiU send :<
1 member of their party to the White

at a crucial period; and that the way
lejis clear for Democratic victory. Xle
he! sets as a goal a 120.000 majority

prediction is based on a safe miniatliriuni.
The Senator speaks of the next
