"Marriage or Mortgage!" Which
Will If Be! See II Tonight
Tonight is the night!,.Which
will if be, “Marriage or Moil
gage”?
This “Very Mellow Drama”,
a play in three acts wilh var
iety numbers, is the annual
production by the Newton
Community Theater and the
Band Boosters Club for the
benefit of the Newton High
Blue Rambler Band, Basil
Rigney, Director.
Curtain time is 8 p. m at the
Newton High Auditorium to
night, Thursday, Nov. 15th.
Tickets are one dollar tor adults
and fifty cents for students.
“Marriage or Mortgage”,
directed by Eddie Najjar and
Mary Lucy Callaway, is an ori
ginal script by Eddie Najjar,
which speaks for itself. It is a
modern twist of the old melo
drama, but it is full of sur-
I prises. and what is expected to
happen never happens.
By popular demand the lad
ies chorus and the m“n’« ballet
of “Snowdrift and the Seven
Flakes” fame, will do a repeat
performance, with new rout
ines. Temple Ellis plays the
part of “Miss Kitty” and Joe
Guillebeau the part of “Paw
Moonbeam”, a real switch from
their parts in “Snowdrift”.
Take a look at the fine cast
below, which features home
town talent, and immediately
these questions pop into mind.
Who is the “Man in Red” and
who is “The Chief’” “Victor”
and “Pureheart” both want the
heroine—who will get her?
From the following cast one
gets an idea of the treat in
store: Maw Moonbeam: Belly
