“AUNT MA” TO BE
(h.];
STAGED IlTr^W
FAMOUS COLLEGIATE COMEDY
TO BE PLAYED NOV. 13-14.
HUNDRED AND FIFTY LOCAL
PEOPLE APPEAR IN CAST.
On next Thursday and Friday
nights, Nov. 18 and 14, the famous
collegiate comedy will be staged in
Forsyth under the auspices of the
Woman's Club. It promises to be one
of the biggest home talent shows ev
er staged in this community and in
cludes a cast of over one hundred
local people. It is a burlesque com
edy of American college life and has
a number of hilarious comedy spots.
The opening of the show is feat
ured by a curtain raiser, the big
Baby Pageant, with over one hundred
children. A apetial dramatic reader
gives readings and the children fur
nish a very effective background.
The play proper deals with the sto
ry of the home coming of Bula Bula
college. The setting of the show is
a fraternity drawing room. The whole
story revolves around the school’s
anxiously awaiting the arrival of an
old maid, Lucia Wakefield, who is
worth fifty million dollars. She is
to be the honor guest of Bula Bula
college and is an aunt of Betsy, one
of the college girls.
Jerry Watson, one of the college
boys, with the help of his roommates,
George and Dick, dresses himself as
an old lady for the entertainment of
his fraternity brothers. While in this
outfit he is mistaken by Prof. Gaddis
and Dean Howard for the real Lucia
Wakefield. He is immediately intro
duced around the college and every
one thinks he is the real Aunt Lucia.
He finds no opportunity to explain
his identify and masquerades all
through the play as Aunt Lucia.
Around this character all the fun
and comical situations develop. Prof.
Gaddis, Mr. Collins and the Butter
and Egg man fall in love with Aunt
Lucia and propose to her in flowery
and eloquent language. Jerry in turn
makes love to all the girls on the
campus and adds to the comedy of
the play. Dean Howard, who is a
lover of Prof. Gaddis, is almost heart
broken over the state of affairs and
her anxiety is relieved only by a
wire from the real Aunt Lucia. In
addition to these characters there are
three college girls, Betsy, Ethelyn
and Molly, sweethearts of the boys.
The college professor and his wife
add dignity to‘the cast while the two
college freshmen furnish much wit
and humor. Other characters of the
main cast include the fraternity pres
ident, glee club leader and the college
sheik.

AT BESSIE TIFT
Miss Dorothy West, head of the
Violin Department at the college, hag
engaged Mr. Roy Young, violinist for
a concert, Tuesday, November 11, at
8:00 p. m. Mr. Young is a noted vio
linist and composer and not only does
his music from the violin grip the soul
but his personality is very pleasing

feeling as if in hearing the concert
and listening to him, you have gained
something of lasting value.
In addition to a number of classi
cal selections from the best known
composers, Mr. Young will give a
short talk on birds and will play the
songs and calls of the well-known
birds. These are included in his sym
phonic poem which he composed him
self.

Tift is glad to be able to engage and
the people in the town are cordially
invited to come to the Concert. The
tickets are fifty cents and will be on
sale Tuesday by the students of the
violin department, and at the door,
the night of the concert.
POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS
REFLECT BETTER TIMES
There are too many people, per
haps, who are of the opinion that the
times have drifted to a remarkably
low financial ebb. This opinion, how
ever, is not unanimous, as is evi
denced by the November report of
the Forsyth postoffice. The office
had the best November business that
it has had in three years, with in
creases of revenue in all departments.

MRS. W. K. RHODES PASSES
AFTER LINGERING ILLNESS
A death which brought sorrow to a
large circle of friends was that of
Mrs. W. K. Rhodes, which occurred
early Saturday morning after an ill
ness of several months. Mrs. Rhodes
was 51 years of age and before her
marriage thirty years ago was Miss
Lucy White Zellner, daughter of the
late Mr. Simeon H. and Elizabeth
White Zellner, well known and prom
inent citizens of Monroe county. Her
life was an epistle in which all who
knew her might read of an unwaver
ing faith in and an inspiring devo
tion to the worthwhile things of life,
and throughout the years of her
earthly pilgrimage she was a living
and helpful example of the abiding
power of the quiet and invincible
forces which are unseen and eternal.
The beauty of her character shone
brightly in the benediction which she
bestowed upon the home, the devout
ness of her church relationship which
began early in life at Shiloh, and the
winsomeness and helpfulness of her
contact with friends and neighbors.
Mrs. Rhodes is survived by her
husband; two daughters, Miss Louise
Rhodes, Forsyth, and Miss Elizabeth
Rhodes, teacher in the Estill High
School, Estill, S. C.; three sons, W.
W., Jr., James W. and Simeon Z.
Rhodes, all of Forsyth; three broth
ers, J. K., Dave P. and Clyde Zellner,
of Forsyth.
The funeral was conducted Sunday
afternoon at 3:00 o’clock at the For
syth Baptist chureh, Rev. R. L. Bivins
of Macon and Rev. H. D. Waimock,
pastor of the church, officiating. The
pallbearers were Messrs. E. W. Banks,
B. T. Banks, J. J. Rhodes, J. K. Zell
ner, C. 11. Zellner and Dave P. Zell
ner. Beautiful music was rendered
by a quartet composed of Mrs. John
T. Stephens, Mrs. Jas. A. Tribble,
Mr. J. G. Strickland and Dr. R. L.
Brantley, and a solo entitled “Face
to Face” was sung by Dr. Brantley.
The church was filled with friends
and relatives of the family who came
in sorrow to pay a last tribute of
respect and affection to the deceased,
while the wealth of floral offerings
further attested the esteem in which
she was held. Both of the ministers
paid touching and eloquent tributes
to the life of Mrs. Rhodes, after
whjch the body was laid to rest in the
Forsyth cemetery.
