EVERYBODY BOOST LOUISBURG* The Franklin Times SELL YOUR Cotton and Tobacco IN LOUISBURG A. Z. JOHNSON^ Editor and Manager THE COUNTY, THE STATE, THE UNION ' SUBSCRIPTION $L50 Per Year ? If ? an- mi ? ? ?' VOLUMN LV. LOUISBURG, N. a, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5,1926 ? 1 (10 Pages) NUMBER 37 COMING! "THE PASSING SHOW OP TWENTY-SIX" A Triumphant Musical Revue Directed Bjr Miss Babble Turner; Sponsored By the Loulsburg "We Build" Club; Benefitting the Mills High School Athletic Association There's a world of difference In a home talent show and a "home brew* show. Those who doubt this . state ment want to see the coming "Home Brew" concoction ot theatrical talent that wUl soon be presented under the name of the '"Passing Show of Twen S-Slx." After the passing of long. tless, lasy days of the summer and early fall, and the coming of pleasur able, peppy, perfect days ot late fall, it Is natural that we look forward to a prefty, peppy show. "The Passing Show of Twenty-Six" Is all of this and more?It Is a dizzy display ot merry music and dashing dancing costumed In brilliant colors and set In staye settings of rlotious gayety. This superb and sparkling musical revue is being directed by Miss Babbie Turner, and Is sponsored by the Ki wanls Club of Loulsburg. Certainly with such directorship and backing, Loulsburg can look forward to an.en tertainment of real enjoyment and thrills. The best thing about the show is the fact that it has no plot, and a lot of spoken parts. It's Just a merry, . jsteal show, displaying pretty Hon - Bottles In flashy costumes, assist ed a multitude of masterful sheiks. ber, It will be Just the thing to make the tired business man forget the 10 .*? price of cotton and overdue notes, and fnake us realize that as long as our girls can sing like lasks, sou look like Ziegflelds first nine, this old world aint-sech a bad place after all. The Mystic Maids In a daring bal let dance, present an act that borders on the risque, but if musical comedies can get away with it, why shouldn't home talents? We will 'mention the names ot the cast as soon as we know exactly who zoo. Some of them, will-drap out and we are Just waiting to see who Is and who Aint gonna be actors In this stupendous spectacle. Watch the Franklin Times foa . further inside dope. The Franklin Times has a the atrical feature writer covering the re hearsals and will keep Its friends ful ly informed concerning the theatrical treat of-the century. Oh yd. The object of the Show Is to buy foot ball uniforms for oui high school boys. You can't expect our boys to play toot ball during these frosty days in their B. V. D's., can you. I mean the boys and not the days. Some wise crack sed that If our team was gonoa continue the same game that they played against Wendell, we had better buy 'em track suits and track shoes, bqt we aint lost faith In them boys yet; they aint never had a fair chance. Remember that it takes several years to develop foot ball In any school. If said wise crack thinks that the Loulsburg team can't play foot ball, Just let him Join the Nashville team and play against our fellows. P. 8. If Harry Johnson wears his famous pants, we guarantee that the "Passing Show of Twenty-Six" will be a ripping good show. MBS. KATE B.
