Comedy Presented By Dramaties Club
Is Highlight Of High School Finals
A hiehlieht of fho finoio
THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carft»"n
A highlight of the finals of the+-
Southern Pines High school was
the three-act comedy, “Two’s A
Crowd,” given Monday night by
the school’s Dramatics Club.
A large audience at Weaver Au
ditorium gave ample evidence of
their enjoyment of the play, and
of the characterizations presented
in high-comedy style by an ex
cellently chosen cast.
The plot, concerning an incon
gruous collection of persons
thrown together byl a supposed
measles quarantine, permitted the
development of many ludicrous
situations, of whi !h the teen-age
actors took full advantage.
The play was presented against
a handsome background—the new
stage scenery bought and given to
the school by the Dramatics Club,
from its dues and admission fees.
Mrs. Mary Ann LaAins, of the
school faculty, directed the show
with a light touch, humo" and
skill.
Performing before the footlights
were Maxann Kerr, Dorothy New
ton, Patsy DuPree, Charles Bow
man, Geraldine Bethea, Barbara
Pearce, Jimmy McDonald, Jimmy
Barber, George Patterson, George
Colton, Shirley Garner, Barbara
Ann Hackney, Claude Reams,
James Primm.
The behind-the-scenes contin-'
gent, so necessary to any play,
was composed of Joan Howarth,
as student assistant and prompt-
er; Jean Haney, Lillian Clark, Jo
F. J. McMahon

Mrs. Georgia Hackney of South
ern Pines received $3,200 for acci
dent injuries, with the defendant,
Bradford Ritter, paying costs, in
a settlement of her damage suit
approved at the civil term held at
Carthage last week. Judge Frank
M. Armstrong of Troy presided.
In another case arising from an
accident, Ruth Oliver, suing
through her next friend S. H.
Oliver, settled for $500 from de
fendant John A. Matson and
$1,500 from A. P. Flinchum, ad
ministrator of the deceased, Vir
ginia E. Oliver. Miss Virginia
Oliver lost her life in the accident
in which her young sister Ruth
was seriously injured, when the
car she was driving was in colli
sion with one driven by Matson.
The $5,000 suit of Spence and
Boyette against Leroy Lee for
payment alleged due to the legal
firm, for services against the
Town of Southern Pines, was re
ported settled, and retired from
the docket.
A jury awarded Dr. J. S. Milli-
ken of Southern Pines judgment
of $196 against Virgil Johnston,
formerly of Southern Pines, and
his wife Elizabeth.
L. G. Myrick, a defendant party
in an action instituted by Isaac
Williamson six years ago, was “re
strained and enjoined” from inter
fering with, molesting, threaten
ing or doing anything to hinder
W. M. McLauchlin, surveyor, in
making a survey ordered by the
court. McLauchlin is to complete
the survey, make the plats and
return them to the clerk’s office
in time to be ready for the Sep
tember term.
Two reports already made by
the referee, W. D. Sabiston, in the
case, J. K. Mason, Jr., vs. L. H.
Cherry, Jr., doing business as
Cherry Motor Sales, were ordered
vacated and the referee was di
rected to prepare a third report
“only on evidence taken by bim
from the parties in his hearing,
permitting no further evidence on
the issues arising.” The case con
cerns commissions allegedly earn
ed by Mason during the period of
his employment by Cherry, which
he says were never paid. The ref
eree is adjudicating differences
between the parties concerning
the original agreement, and is to
present his report “on findings of
fact and conclusions of law” at
the August term.
Divorces were granted as fol
lows: Juliet Vale McMullen vs.
Ray V. McMullen; Stephen J.
Sanders vs. Vestoria Sanders; Ed
win C. Palmer vs. Joyce Wiseman
Palmer; Sallie Odessa Gre'en vs.
Samuel Green. All were on two
years’ separation.
Bridges Speaks
To Rotarians
Rotarians learned about the
mysteries of the dye trade, this
week.
Friday’s luncheon meeting, held
at the Country Club, heard Karl
Bridges of Kncllwood, describe
the intricacies of this industry in
an address called “unusually in
teresting,” by many present.
Mr. Bridges, who travels for the
industry as consultant on formu
lae, traced the development of
dyeing from early times. He fol
lowed the growth of the industry
in the United States since the
German monopoly on dyes and
dyeing was broken at the time of
World War 1. The speaker ex
plained the different processes
used for different materials and
situations, and showed samples to
illustrate his remarks.
Mr. and Mrs. Bridges are the
owners of Carolina Orchids, Inc.
Friday’s Rotary meeting was
presided over by Rev. Charles V.
Coveil, president of the club.
