The play will be James Barrie’s subtle comedy, “Alicq-Sit -;by - the - Fire.” Played by the West Georgia The spians it ought to be everything but subtle. Sharing the lead will be Marge Bowen, of Atlanta, and Nelle Clegg, of Villa Rica. Marge in the role of Alice Grey, an English lady returning from India to her children whom she hasn’t seen in fifteen years, is a coquettish old gal and quite the cream of the Indian society. Nelle, her charm ing daughter, is a moon struck lassie who has never had a date.
