SMALL CROWD SEES
GOOD SHOW HERE
SATURDAY NIGHT
The Tech Marionettes, in their
third annual appearance in Griffin,
presented “Dulcy” at the High
School Auditorium Saturday night
to a small audience.
The play was most admirably
suited for the Marionettes and
they handled it in a most delight
ful manner.
The story is concerned with the
activities of “Dulcy,” a beautiful
though dumb wife who has
planned, very craftily, to help
her husband in an important busi
ness . merger. Dulcy's plans work
out rather disastrously for her
husband until several odd twists
in the plot bring about an out
come that is satisfactory to every
body.

THEY COULD NOT SEE WITHIN THE
EMPEROR’S COURT
They could not realize the hold that ita daily round of lavish
revelry had- on those with whom it came in contact. Once it
had surrounded and saturated one’s soul with its indolent mag
nificence, it was almost impossible to be other than its slave!
See the reckless, riotous lives, the voluptuous existence, the
majestic glory and splendor of the Austrian emperor’s court—
beautiful, gorgeously gowned women; pompous, statuesque
officers. The picture sensation of the year! It’s love that
makes the world go round; it’s love that makes the “Merry
Go Round”! The most beautiful love story ever told! A
picture such as you have never seen before; a picture that you
will never forget!
