At The Theatre
"A Lady Takes A Chance" Is 1
an RKO Radio production with
the reviewer's rating as good;
a comedy with music and the
great open spaces. It is the
story of a bus trip with John
Wayne's fancy riding and fight
ing in the old Western tradi
tion. Jean Arthur is the heroine
whose strong point is her naive
charm.
"The Jungle Book," by Alex
ander Korda, continues his ex
plorations in the realm of mys
terious India. It is a Kipling
legend? the story of Mowgli, a
child stolen by wolves, who lives
among them and the other wild
animals of the jungles, and
then joins the tribe of men.
Through his superior knowledge
the village is saved from great
disaster. m

PTA PLAT
GREAT SUCCESS
The play put on at the court
house last Friday and Saurday
evenings by the pupils of the
Franklin school was a great
success. Funds raised for the
benefit of the school by the
PTA committee amounted to
$128.90. This substantial sum
will go a long way to supply
needs and improvements.
Little Sarah Lee Bryson, four
months-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Dan Bryson, won the prize
In the Tiny Tots contest. Her
box contained over $23.00 to be
devoted to the good work of the
Parent-Teacher Association.
The young people deserve not
only commendation for the per
formance, but thanks of the
PTA for giving their time and
efforts to help raise this mon
ey. They cooperated with their
elders who undertook the pro
ject in a fine, sportsmanlike
way, and the result was an
amusing and enjoyable enter
tainment.
