j Am te.ur Show
j Draws Bia Crowd
[.at Now Strand.
The seemingly impossible Is always
happening in Tryon. The large
audit uce which packed the Strand theatre
last Friday night hadn't the faintest
ilea under what conditions the
program was staged. Talk about lo
cal r'.irt order talent. On Monday
of lr. * week (just five days before
the night of "The Show) it wu
learned that Mr. Early, the movie
man, had an open date on the Friday
following. The president and secretary
of the local Chamber of Commerce
had been on the lookout for
some sort of an evening's entertainment,
whereby Lhey could get the
Community to help make up the still
remaining deficit incidental to the
staging of the horse show. Here an
opportunity offered itself, but was it
too late to take advantage of? That
was the question. Several Tryonltes,
to whom no little credit belongs for
the season's success of , the Fortnightly
Drama Club, augmented by a few i
"raw amateurs" uninitiated to the ;
"glare of the footlights," weiie pressed i
into emergency service. Doubting i
Thomases were plentiful?some even ]
ridiculed?fcut the movement, once i
under way, averse criticism injected
into that little determined group a 1
spirit before all obstacles were as I
nothing. Work against time was s
frantically begun. i
Friday night the curtain rose with i
Dwight Smith giving a humorous t
reading, which missed fire in spots <
because the audience became restless i
and tired of waiting for the curtain, 1
to rise?finally thirty minutes late. <
Warm applause was generously given c
when Mr. Smith completed his reel- t
tation.

tette?Miss Pratt and Messrs, Massa- ?

canaries had stage fright or some- e

affair, and the audience, to n

Weigel, as the "Nutty Prospect," made 11
a bigger hit than in any character 11

Act number four, "The Highway- c,

and acted by Miss Babe Marsch, Pur- t)

covered and cultivated by his master.
He is an exceptionally intelligent
dog and appears to understand
everything that is said to him.
t When scientists, interested in his
unique talejit, come to visit him, he
puts on a wise and comradely air as
tie goes through his paces. When he
has finished a selection for them he
?
looks at them as if to say, "Well,
now, do you know how I do it?" Jack
gets fan letters from all over
the country. Children often write to
him, telling him about their own dogs
and invariably ending up, "I wish he
were as smart as you." ,
Jack has several favorite tunes, but
i new one called "After I Say l^m
Sorry" is thought to be his favorite
because of the vivacity and energy he
puts into the rendition of it.
