Spinsters Shafts — Little Cu

Lifted out of the mediocrity which
usually surrounds home talent pro
ductions by the superb portrayal of
“Madam Hymen Cupid" by Miss
Gladys Davenport and the excellent
rendition of the comedy role of
"Mrs. Jeremiah Henpcck” by Miae
Mattie Bell Godwin, “The Microbe of
Love.” presented here Friday night
under the auspices of the Dunn Post
of the American Legion pleased •
capacity crowd at the Metropolitan
and wnt them home convinced that
they had seen the best show ever
staged in Dunn.
It was levsly and laughable vehicle
the legion had chosen to exhibit the
dramatic talent of the town. And it
was admirably staged. Jokes at the
expense of some of the town's chron
ic bachelors were many and they
were much appreciated. Parson An
gus McQueen, Charley Baker, Dr. H.
C. Turlington and otbora cams in fsr
.hafts from the comic spinsters, but
lha lins that really brought down the
bouse wki that in which Mrs. Hen
psek deplored the fact that she had
passed up Hugh Lane for Dick Tay
lor. who very creditably filled the
role of Mr. Heapeek.
In costuming, lyrics and scenic ef
fects the offering had all the ear
marks of a professional attraction.
Even the chorus men appeared to be
regular he-vamps, and the little la
dies who formed the chorus—while
fa< flrotn looking professional—
wore there with the grace, charm and
beauty of any musical comedy cbor
Madam Cupid To Hamas
The play is woven around a doses
or so of spinsters who have about
love bug idea. She contracts to land
a husband for each if they will stags
a laws party for the Bachelor's Club
They hold the party. Madam Cupid
gives each of tha poor fallows a mot
of lova microbes and then they are
helpless. Madam Cupid cops the pres
ident of the club for her very own
and the thing ends with everybody
happy.

seas to roods the battle line* to
maintain nationality and pnserved
civilisation. Tha service flag — -h-c

were common to all home* in the con
sciousness of service to country.

and malar devotion hath no man
than mia. Ha diod unquestioning, un
complaining, with faith in hia heart
and nop* on hie lip*, that hit country
should triumph and its civilisation
survive. As a typical soldier of this
representative democracy, he fought
and died, believing in the indisputable
justice of his country's cause. Con
scious of the world's upheaval, ap
praising tho magnitude of a war the
'ike of which had never horrified hu

bis to be a service destined to change

less if ha craved more than triumph
of country; rather. It was greater if
he hoped for a victory for all human

whoso confidence in the rigfatoousnem
of his country inspired belief that its
triumph i* the victory of humanity.
