THE PLAY
IN HAPPINESS
THE ELUAS DAT PLAYERS
On Tuesday Night The Wornaaa'
Club Will Spenser the Beat Play
of the Season.
The Womana' Club, ever on the
alert for amuiing and entertaining
:he people of Roxboro and surround,
ing section, will aponser the play, "In
Soppiness." Among the many good
ihings which have been presented to
>y msny to be the very beat. It haa
>>een played in Richmond, Norfolk
?nd other large citiea and' haa receivid
the highest praise.
THE PLAY* "Happiness" has nev;r
before been produced in Lyceum,
tt was written by Hartley Manners,
author of "Peg O' My Heart" and
numerous other successful plays.
Laurette Taylor, the famous aciress
used it for two years in New
i'ork and Oh imago besides touring
die country.
The play itself is on the order of
'Peg O' My Heart" and has in it a
fine lesson. Jennie, the little shop
firi, is one of the best characters seen
n any play in the last twenty years
ind the story is interwoven around
;he lives of "just human beings." The
>lot shows how a yodhg New York
ihcp girl, uneducated, but intelligent
ind with an ambition to be "somcK>dy,"
enters the lives of a wealthy
<ew York man and woman, tired of
iheir selfish existence and through
he ijoree of her example changes
hem into purposeful, philanthropic
dtizens.
Happiness abounds with laughs,
vdth here and there a tragic touch
10 that it is closer to the old saying
'you laugh one minute and weep the
text" than any other play of recent
rears. Mr. Day has produced it with
h* same attention to detail as was
lisplayed in the original production.
There are three acts and an epilogue
tnd in the epilogue much cause for
rejoicing with little Jennie in the fulfillment
of her ambitions.
It has a universal appeal to people
in every walk of life.
Don't for fret the time, Tuesday
night, December 11th, at School auiitorium.
The indications are they
frill play to a fall house and it will
ne advisable for you to secure tickets ,
sarly.
