Where The Focus Is On You
Gordon Offers
Dinner-Theater
On April 21
A dinner-theater featuring
the Alpha-Omega Players is
being hosted by Gordon
Junior College on April 21st.
A national theater reper
tory group, the Players will
perform ‘‘Hackberry Cava
lier" following the dinner at
6:30 p.m. General admission
is $5.00 per person and SB.OO
per couple. Tickets will be on
sale at the door.
“Hackberry Cavalier” is a
new musical comedy adapt
ed from stories by George
Sessions Perry that appeared
in the Saturday Evening Post
in the late 1930’5. The central
character is Edgar Selfridge.
Edgar is always on the prowl
for romance and adventure
JIMMY B. HARDY
Yes, the assassinations
should be investigated be
cause I think more than one
person was probably involv
ed.
and delights in finding a
maiden in distress or a wrong
that needs righting. A true
cavalier like Don Quixote,
Edgar doesn’t seem to mind
that he lives in the Texas hill
country instead of feudal
Spain;
The four cast members,
Bob Evans, Phil Dorr, Pam
Smith and Valerie Tullous,
each play several different
roles in the play. Audiences
will enjoy the original songs
and music and unique
staging.
CARD OF THANKS
I would like to take this
opportunity to say “thank

calls while I was in Sylvan
Grove Hospital and the
Medical Center in Macon and
