a week.

have returned home after
spending several weeks in
Chicago, 111. with Their
father, Elder Robert

Mr. and Mrs. Luther
Leary of Atlanta, Georgia
spent Saturday p.m. with
his aunt, Mrs. Arthur
Tharpe.
Mrs. Cora Chapman
spent several days in
Atlanta with her son end
his wife, Mr. and Mrs.
Willie B. Chapman. Mrs.
Chapman had undergone
surgery.
Thought for the week:
Every relation to mankind,
of hate or scorn or neglect,
is full of vexation and
torment. There is nothing
to do with men but to love
them; to contemplate their
virtues and admiration,
their faults with pity and
forbearence, and th»ir
injuries with forgiveness.
Mr. and Mrs. Mark
Jackson and girls of
Kathleen visited Mrs. A.
Tharpe last Saturday
night.
Mr. Anthony Loving of
Miami, Fla. was here for
several days with Mr. and
Mrs. Connie Jones.
Mrs. Fannie R. Leary of
Atlanta, Ga. is visiting her
father, Mr. S.B. Rountree
on Arena Road.
Mr. Madison Holmes, Jr.
of Florida was in the city
last Wednesday and
Thursday on business. He
also spent time visiting

play so enjoyable. Gary
Warren, a graduate of
Perry High School, had the
title role and he was
remarkably good In his
acting performance. His
vocal performance was nos
quite as effective but this
was more a problem of
projection than caliber.
The songs that Meredith
Wilson wrote for this play
require that each lyric be
clearly understood and
when you are in an
auditorium which is poor
acoustically then you have
a problem.
The other Perryan in
volved was Gary Diebert.
He was in charge of the set
design and he beautifully
recreated the town of
River City. The set showed
the downtown area of the
city and then parted to
show the home of the
Widow Paroo. It is difficult
to describe but It worked
very effectively.
The female lead, Marian
the librarian, was acted by
the very pretty and multi
talented Jill Beshears. I
have been hearing about
what a talented performer
she is ever since I have
been in the middle Georgia
area but this was the first
time that I had seen her
perform. She was so
proper for the role and
when she started to sing
you could have heard a pin
drop. She had no trouble
being heard for her clear
voice carried up to the last
row. I hope that you got a
chance to see her, and if
not I hope that she will
soon be performing In
another play.
Mrs. Nancy Fluellen
spent last Wednesday
night in Warner Robins
with her son and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie
Fluellen.
Rev. and Mrs. Harold
Ross celebrated their 25th

There were so many
good performances in this
play that it is difficult to
mention them all but the
quartet of Fred Hardin,
John Savage, Mike Taylor
and Bruce Blakemore
must be singled out. They
added so much talent in
their vocal numbers. In
dividually they added
warmth and humor to the
play. Their singing of she
harmonious "Lida Rose"
in counterpoint with Jill
Beshears' "Sweet and
Low" was the single best
moment of the show.
Marqulne Goss directed
the play and she did a
masterful job of moving
the proceedings. The play
is one that has many,
many scenes and these
entail set changes. This
made the play seem a little
long but this is a small
discomfort for the total
pleasure presented. Also I
longed for a big finale but
Mr. Wilson did not provide
one when he wrote the
play. I guess that he thou
ght that any play that had
already had numbers such
as "Till There Was You",
"Trouble In River City"
and "Gary, Indiana" had
enough music.
For this Bicentennial
year, a better choice could
not have been made. I hope
that all of you saw it and
enjoyed it as I did. It was
one of the better offerings
of the year and one that
can be warmly remem
bered. It was a show where
talent, enthusiasm and
dedication melted together
to give us good en
tertainment.
