“GOOD GRACIOUS, ANNABELLE,” BY
LITTLE THEATRE LEAGUE, NOVEMBER 18
All-Star Local Talent Cast
With Excellent Vehicle, to
Entertain for Benefit of
U. D. C.s.
"Good Gracious. Annabel!*." one
of the most spectacular successes
ever presented on the American
stage, will be eeen at Tubman
Auditorium, one night, Tuesday
evening, November 18th. This great
corking comical comedy has made
the whole world laugh and will
certainly win its way Into the
hearts of the Augusta theatre
goers- It is the one play that will
take any mar. a mind off his busi
ness and make him enjoy a good
night's laughter.
“Good Gracious. Annabelle" was
written by Clare Kummer. consid
ered to b* one of America’s fore
most playwriters. Although she has
won undying fame in the world of
letters. It Is in no way disparaging
to the other shows she has written
by saying that "Good Gracious.
Annabelle" Is the greatest play ever
to come from her pen.
Nothing will tell the success of
“Good Gracious. Annabelle” better
than the actual number of perform
ances it played in New York, Chi
cago. Cincinnati, 8L Louts and
other Urge cities.
The presentation of “Good
Gracious, Annabelle" here Is a dis
tinct treat for theatre-goers. Those
who are willing to take a word
of advice will be prompt in securing
tickets. They are on sale by the
members of the United Daughters
of Confederacy. Little Theatre
League and at the following stores:
Goetchius', Gardelle's and Home
Folks.
The Little Theatre League Is
sparing no expense in making this
production the very best of ths local
theatrical reason. Ths league has
already won the hearts of the Au
gusta public by their last two per
formances. "Hurry, Hurry, Hurry,”
was considered by critics to be
thoroughly enjoyable. One critic re
marked. "The Little Theatre
League has won a permanent home
In Augusta.” The second produc
tion was "Seven Keys to Baldpate."
A tourist saw the latter and re
marked that if be did not know
that amateurs were staging ths
play, be would think that he was
witnessing a New York production.
All this speaks for itself.
The show is for the benefit of
the United Daughters of the Con
federacy, and this cause alone
should pack the auditorium.

now about back to pre-war volume
with the former Russian supply re.
uplaced by butter from these other
and newer producing countries, and
Russia beginning to export in con

Dairymen feel that production

JUST THINK of having good
health for many, many years
and reaching the age of 102, and
not being dependent upon anybody
—still working at your favorite
work because you like to work,
even though you didn’t have to!
Mrs. Leu Thacker, of near Spray,
North Carolina, does not have to
work, although she does, despite
the protests of six families of de
voted sons and daughters. They
all want Mrs. Thacker to quit
working, quit boarding, and to
come and live with them, and
probably she will, later on, but
not yet!
You are bound to admire Mrs.
Thacker as the maternal* head of
a large family of well-established
North Carolinians and Virginians.
You would adore the immaculate,
motherly old lady that she is. But
the physical and mental courage
of this hundred-and-two-year-old
womaa will pull at your heart
strings.
Mrs. Thacker is a needle-worker.
She makes tufted bedspreads and

Mrs. Thacker’s Statement
. LeaksviDe, N. C, April 22, 1924.
D LACK-DRAUGHT is a grand medicine. I have been using it for
years and years. My health has always been good, and I have
never had occasion to use much medicine. Every now and then a
little BLACK-DRAUGHT for constipation and biliousness. I almost
always keep a box of it by me—have done this for the past forty
years. Wherever I move to (I travel around a lot from one child to
another), I always take my package of BLACK-DRAUGHT, as I have
found it to be the best remedy I have ever run across, for digestive
disorders. It is made of pure herbs, and for that reason I recommend
it It is satisfactory and there are no bad after-effects.

; to do this kind of
work, and does it beautifully. The
money she makes this way is
supplemented by a North Carolina
state pension for the Confederate
army services of her husband, the
late Chesley Thacker.
In the accompanying statement,
in which she tells of having taken
Black-Draught, when needed, dur
ing a period of forty years, Mrs,
Thacker refers to her many years
of good health, but she suffered a
badly crushed hip in an accident,
about six years ago. To sustain a
broken hip at the age of 96 is a se
vere experience. She says that her
hip was broken “all to pieces.” By
the best of surgical skill, the frac
tures were set, and she was placed
in a plaster cast
She lay in bed eleven weeks.
Then she insisted on being taken
out of bed, and got her daughters
and nurse to walk, supporting her,
one on each side, a few minutes
daily, while she swung the limb
that had been so badly injured.
Gradually she began to recover
control over it Valiantly she
stroVe to imitate the motion of
walking. Lovingly and tenderly
her daughters helped her, and tried
to match her optimism.
Finally, after months of painful
effort she could walk! And now
she’s “walking everywhere,” she

cane only because the Hmh that
TO LIVE to be 100 years old is a very
unusual thing, and for one to retain
good health and activity at such an age
is a little more than remarkable. Here
is a story, portrait and statement of a very
beautiful old lady of 102, who, for the most
part, makes her own living!
! was injured seems a little
shorter than the other. It
doesn’t hurt a bit!
Mrs. Thacker is a devout church
woman, and attends divine services
twice a week. She is much inter
ested in modern life and every
thing that is going on, except aha
doesn’t care for movies.
She looked so pretty and lively
that I was determined to get a
perfect picture of her, and for fear
my kodak portraits might not be
large enough to reproduce well in
the Cardui Fashion Magazine, I
began to plan to get a professional
photographer.
So I suggested a trip to a pho
tographer in a nearby town—an
adventure which dear old Mrs.
Thacker approved, and we set off
together. My car was comfort
able and she enjoyed the ride. We
didn’t find the photographer at his
studio, but learned that he was
“over at the playground,” so we
drove over and found him super
vising the plowing-off of one side
of a creek to make a swimming
pool, where he made the picture of
Mrs. Thacker that is reproduced
herewith.
Mrs. Thacker travels around oc
casionally. She was expecting soon
to visit an auopted son in Danville,
and then maybe she would go to
see her son in Salisbury.
Leaksville. the postoffice at
which Mrs. Thacker receives her
mail, was the site of her birth on
August 6th, 102 years ago.
