The Randolph Library club, which is composed of young attractive wo men, with their usual wayyof put ting things over well are sponsor ing this play to improve the li brary of Asheboro; and from *all indications it looks as if “Glad Rags” is going to be a big success. The interesting plot is being handled by a most capable cast of people gwho have been in produc tions of this kind before and are particularly talented. There are several peppy choruses composed of eight attractive high school girls that carry the dance routines for the show, also a chorus of about twenty-five wee little tots. There is a most colorful fashion show in the play, with ten of Asheboro’s most charming girls attired in sa tin costumes that makes a beauti ful setting. There are two contests in con nection with the play that are crea ting quite a lot of interest. In purely a sense of good sportsman ship there is a contest called the “Ugliest Man Contest,” that is be ing handled by the ladies of the club. The winner will receive a box of cigars at the play Tuesday night. On Wednesday night there will be a baby contest, the winner will receive the loving cup that is on display at the Carolina Power and Light company. Each baby is sonsored by a Junior sponsor, and a prize is to be given to the win ner. The cast is as follows: Mrs. J. Frank McCrary, Mrs. Jos. D. Ross, Jr., Miss Madge Hobgood, Miss Cornelia Hedrick, Mrs. Everett Boling, Mrs. Harris Coffin, Mrs. Lawrence Sours, Miss Carrie Brit tain, T. Linwood Smith, Wm. A. Underwood. Murray Field, Henry Redding. The models are: Miss Betsy Armfield, Miss Dee Armfield, Miss Florence Brittain, Mrs. Tif fany Barnes, Mrs. John Taylor, Miss Catherine Cranford, Miss Hayworth, Miss Ruth Wicker, and Miss Patty Knott. The chorus is as follows: Doris Cranford, Lorene Wood, Dorothy York, Maxine Cole, Mary Frances Betts, Annie Gail Ridge, Frances Ridge, and Clar ence Cagle. The smaller chorus will be announced later. The musical numbers for tihs play are very lyrical and the cos tumes very different and combined with the talent of the above mem bers, “Glad Rags” should be a mo3t successful play.
