BEST SHOW IN YEARS
FORECAST FOR MARCH
22nd MINSTREL SHOW
I
Rehearsals have progressed to the point where Pirate
Gold, the 5th annual Minstrel-Revue, has been set down
by critics as being the best of the five shows which have
entertained local audiences during preceding years.
This Minstrel-Revue, with almost 100 local stars, will
be staged here at the Roanoke Rapids High School auditor
ium. on Friday night week, March 22nd.
Trunk loads of special costumes,
scenery and properties will arrive
this week from the most recent
showing- of this Pirate Gold at Bos"
ton, Mass. Director John Hutch
ings is more than pleased at the
progress made to date. The lar
gest dance groups and girl num
bers in five years will be attempted
on the 22nd while the Minstrel
Second Part, reversing the order
of the past, is full of fun and fro
lic which will leave the audience
fully satisfied.
The public should understand that
all proceeds of this show go to a
fund which is used for work among
the underprivileged children of the
community and for other charity
work. A ticket not only insures a
night’s entertainment for the fam
ily but it also provides funds for
carrying on a worthy cause.
Expenses are heavier than most
shows of this kind because of add
ed number, special direction, scen
ery, costumes, royalties, and all
else it takes to make a real Broad
way show.
In order to guarantee the stand
ing cost of the show, 150 seats in
the school auditorium have been
priced at one dollar.
The balance of the house is at
the usual prices of 75 cents for
adults and 35 cents for children.
The dollar tickets may be purchas
ed from any member of the local
Kiwanis Club and are not reser
c
ved except as to the section of 150
seats. The other 1,750 seats are
the usual prices, many of them as
good or better than the dollar seats
the only advantage of which is
that a purchaser can wait a little
longer before going in.
However, the curtain goes up at
8 p. m. on Friday night, March
22. And for two ho,_
