November meeting of the Woman's Club was held Thursday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock at the home of Mrs. J. F. Alexander, with the following joint hostesses: Mes dames M. P. Bodie, W. C. Bostic, Sr., W. C. Bostiic, Jr., Wrenn Cham bers, U. S. Courtney, J. W. Dalton and G. D. Dalton. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. F. R. Wilkins and the busi ness attended to. Honorable men tion was made of the fact that one of our members, Mrs. A. W. Falvey, was elected first vice - chairman of fourth district at the meeting held in Bessemer City, October 25, also regrets at loss of Mrs. M. F. Moores who goes to Winston-Salem soon to reside.

Story: "The Diamond Ring," by Julia Peterkin, Mrs. Carl Huntley. Quartette: "May Magic", by Mes dames A. M. Glickman, Arval Al cock, Broadus Moore and R. E. Big gerstaff. Miss Frances Bray, of the Na tional Producing Co., who is here to coach the play "West of Broad way", being sponsored by the club was then presented and gave a very interesting sketch of the play. Mrs. Broadus Moore, chairman of ticket sale, then distributed tickets to be sold by the club women. The meeting adjourned and a so cial hour was enjoyed at which the hostesses served a lovely salad course with hot coffee. "West Of Broadway" Wednesday and Thurs. Of course you have heard a great deal about "West of Broadway". This is the play which is sponsored by the Forest City Woman's Club and directed by Miss Irma Frances Bray, of the National Producing: Company of Kansas City, Mo. "West of Broadway" makes its initial bow tonight at 8:15 in the Forest City High school auditorium. The play runs both Wednesday and Thurs day, November 19th and 20th. "West of Broadway" is a comedy drama in three acts, a play within a play. It opens with a pageant of our local grammar school children. Between each act are choruses of high school boys and girls, and these dances enjoy the reputation of being the prettiest on the road this season. The play itself is unique in that it pleases all types of drama tic tasts, for in it we find every thing from the most rollicking com edy to serious and beautiful drama. As to the play itself: a troupe of Broadway actors are stranded in Hamilton Junction "the bridge up north is washed out" so Jim Twy man, the station agent tells them: as he talks to the actors Twyman gets a happy idea. His niece Lida Bannister is stage-struck. Why not have these actors try her out —tell her she can't act, and then she will marry Joe Blake the village ban ker, as he has planned, and every body will be happy. John Buskin, manager of the company agrees to do this the following day at the Junction House, local hotel. Josh and the Hawkins run the Junction House, and are responsible for a lot of clever lines and fun.' The excitement .vat noon when everybody in town comes to the Junction House to see Leily Bannister get tried out, yes, they all come, cousin Sally the "village newspaper", Mrs. Allen the up-stage wife of the new druggist, Henry Wood, the village dumb-bell, the dear oU village gossip, came en masse. Has Leila talent? Will she make good? You do just what the villagers did, all come and see for yourselves. The last act, a play which the John Buskin Repertory company puts on for the villagers. This is where we find our very good drama our moments of laughter, these and thrilling scenes which hold us, our pathos, but any more would be tell ing. Come and see. Forest City literally runs riot with dramatic talent, to quote Miss Bray. Imagine John Lester Duncan the important manager of the Re pertory company "Weenie" Brown who "aims he runs the Junction House, Miss Connie Frye, who play; adual role in a most competent mar • ner, A. C. Finch, the fiery ma, 1 who asn t allowed a show in forty >ears, R. C. Alexander, the up and awake comedian, Mrs. Hewitt, as jSalley, who "tells the mayor a thing: .or two and space forbids more, but | You find the cast complete on j another page of this issue.

Much has been said and written this season about cottons for fall and winter, but one needs only to see the ac companying photographs to realize how completely all this has come true. The costume photographed at the left ahows a charming combina tion of a new cotton tweed with short velveteen jacket which is the essence of youth. The colorful plaid design of the tweed make® it particularly appropriate as a jumper frock for general daytime or school wear. j The other model shows a new tweed-printed cotton corduroy which combines rich shades ot brown with bud green in a smart ly tailored sports suit. One of its new features is the collarless neck line with separate scarf favored by so many of the smartly dresaed younger set this season. PAGE FIVE
