THE COUNTY PAPER—Established 1376
FIFTY-FIFTH YEAH
P. T. A. SPONSORS
ANOTHER MUSICAL COMEDY
FRIDAY NIGHT, NOV. 14
FAIRFIELD, FREEKTONE COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, NOV. 13, i930.
UnUsual interest centers around
the production of “H ere Comes
Arabella,” the local talent musicul
comedy presented under the aus-
pices of the Parent Teacher Asso-
ciation.
Miss Margaret Pittman of the
•Sdwell Producing Company is direct-
ing the ploy. It will be remembered
that Miss 1 ittman coached the
‘‘Flappei Grandmother” here two
years ago for the same organization
and it was an outstanding success
from both a financial and artistic
standpoint.
Miss Pittman has had five years
coaching experience with the same
company, and together with the
splendid local talent afforded her,
she promises the coming entertain-
ment will be even better than the
‘‘Flapper Grandmother.”
Mary Vernon Huckahy takes the
leading part as “Arabella” the little
gypBy girl who wins her way into
the hearts of every one. She is sup-
ported by Son Lott as the youing
artist. These two young people have
played parts together often and
ere beginning to show some real
histrionic ability. They have several
song and dance numbers together.
D. L. DuPuy has the part of a
successful young play-wright while
E. G. Miles and Van Elliott have
excellent parts as college chums.
Misses Bess Manahan, Carolyn
Vincent and Juliette Beauchamp act
the parts of gay young flappers, and
carry the parts admirably.
Mrs. Otis Utley and Evelyn Hard-
ing as the two old nutids furnish
plenty of comedy. These two charac-
ters with Sambo Walker as Uncle
Josh are “well worth the price of
admission.
If you want to see a real ‘‘Ladies
Aid," see Mrs. Turner Robertson,
Mrs. Frank McDonald and Modena
Vincent members who meet at the
home of the two old maids to pack
a barrel to rend to the “heathens.”
Purney Glazener plays the part of
Levenski, a New York Theatrical
Producer.
One of the outstanding features
ci the play is the chorus numbers
including little ‘tots from six years
up to the pretty girls of high school
age.
The costumes for the play are
furnished and are said to be very
beautiful and elaborate.
The Parent Teachers are working
hind for Fairfield schools and the
cooperation of the entire district
will be appreciated.
The play will be given in the
new auditorium of the school build-
ing and will begin at 8 p. m.

If present plans work out it isj ^County was present. Our deepest
expected that work of paving witfi
concrete the road from Palestine to
Tucker, eight and one-half miles,
will get under way early next year.
At a meeting of the county commis-
sioners Saturday afternoon an or-
dei was passed and signed putting
in escrow by the county the sum of
$52,000 as the county’s one-fourth
of the cost of this new paving. This
will give highway forty-three a pav-
ed surface all the way through the
county. The State Highway Com-
mission proposed sometime ago to
pay three-fourths of the cost of this
stretch of paving if the county
would come in for the other one-
fourth. It is expected the highway
department will ask for bids on this
construction at its next meeting.—
