Walnut Cove Seniors
( To Present Play
(Walnut Cove School Reporter)
The senior play, enfilkd "N'o
Bride For The Groom," will be
liven in the Walnut Cove hi g n
school auditorium, Wednesday
r.ight, April I's, at 8:00 o'clock.
J It is with peals of laughter
that the audience will . njoy tho
'ii-titoi entanglements that
the characters become involved i'i.
In the setting of Willowcreek,
Missouri. we see the concocted
romance of a widow and widow
er in order that their children
might marry whom they desir-,
instead of marrying each >th.T.
Tlie comje courtship between tlu;
old Squire Prindel, the widower,
and Sophia Selby, the widow, is
really of the olden days. The ad
ditional humor added by the no
j.ro characters, SalamandyJ tlv*
voodoo girl, and Boots, with hn
slow, shuffling gait and huge
foot is quite effective. Suspense
is held until the end. when th>j
unique entanglements are unfold
ed.
