HIGDONVILLE SPECIAL Last Saturday night the Higdon ville school, under the able direction of the principal, Mr. Ed Carpenter staged a very interesting .and well rendered play for the benefit of the school library. It was played to a capacity house and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. All the characters were well chosen and acted their parts so well that they .received great praise from the audience. ' i The play, Poor Father, consists of thirteen characters and the scene is the home of a small town politician who has led a fast life in some ways with the usual reckoning at the last. There are triple misunderstandings and cross information going the rounds " all thru. Fred Corbin, as the negro butler came in for a large part of the "cussing" for everybody's wrongs. Fred .-acted the part extra well. Probably the two best natural actors were Frank Dowdle who took the part of Sidney Dummel, the gen tleman with a defected memory upon whom everybody imposed, and Maude Keener who was a very studious young gentleman that had notes on every emergency and was very insis tent on doing things acording to Hoyle. Anne Mae Higdon, the exacting wife of Mr. Thompkins, was very good. In fact, the whole show was well rendered and the community are looking forward to another in the not distant future. Here is the cast: Mr. Thompkins, Fred Corbin; George W. Brown, Furman Corbin ; Clifford Tompkins, Jessie Higdon ;' Sidney Dummel, Frank Dowdle; Harold Cald well, Ben Bolick; Sergeant 0' Connor, Paul Higdon, Policeman O'Brian, T. B.
