KIWANIS FEATURES DURING
PROGRAM TODAY
Rev. Charie Curry, pastor of the
First Methodist church, was the clief
speaker at the Kiwanis luncheon to
day and a fine Kiwanis message was
the result. He talked fellowship and
cooperation -and service like a veteran
in the ranks. He has been over four
vears a member of the club and has
many of its finer principles well plac
'd in his talking category. He’ was
given enthusiastic reception as a new
member of the local club.
Kiwanian R. B. Combs of Rome,
here because of Dr. Bradley’s illness,
lgave beautiful tribute to the people
of the community in their friendship
!tor Dr. Bradley. 1
i Miss Mamie Milner, teacher in the
public schools, gave two readings
‘which brought abundance of laughter
land applause. Kiwanis Sparling of Al
‘bany, was a visitor.
~ All officers nominated two weeks
ago were formally elected today. This
included T. J. Durrett, vice president,
Dr. T. J. McArthur, trustee; and di
rectors as follows: W. E. Pridgen, An
‘drew Caraker, W. A. Thompson, R.
‘L. Dekle. J. K. Luck, A. C. Towns,
and 8. J. Hill. No president is yet
chosen.
Plans were made for a ladies night
seeasion on January sth when the
new officers will be installed. It is
hichly probable that the eclub will
hold an election at the luncheon next
Wednesday at which time those pres
ent will decide on the 1928 leader by
their ballots |

comedy, “Listen Lady” presented at
the auditorium last evening. 'This

by Miss Margaret Easterling, of the

The play was a rollicking musi
cal comedy in three acts, and was a
continuous whirlwind of laughter,
tuneful music and lively action and
excellent chorus mumbers.
The cast of characters included
twelve young women and men of
Cordele, and the work of each and
every one showed marked histrionic
ability. The “Fiapper Chorus” com
posed of fifteen lovely and graceful
girls presented musical numbers in
highly creditable manner. The Jit
tle girls of the “Uncle Sam” and
“Kitty Kat” choruses were fine in
their numbers and were warmly re
ceived,
The song and dance specialites
were excellent, and each was given
‘an encore.
Withal, it was an evening of real
entertainment for all who attended,;
an da meat sum was vealized by the .
U. D. C. Chapter which will be apJ
plied to the Chapter House building
fund. %
