TWO__ THALIAN PLAY WELL RECEIVED The Thalian association got ofi to a good start for the season last night when Wm. B. Campbell, Jr., directed a performance of Philip Barry’s ’‘Holiday” with a cast of twelve new and old Thalians old In the sense of having been in Thalian plays before. Apart from the fact that the var ious members of the cast occas ionally would keep their lines a secret from some of the audience in the rear of Thalian Hall, and 8 few lapses in the lines which v/ere heard, the performance was on a par with the usual high standard the association has of fered through the years. The program was a little con fusing as the cast listed on the program did not appear in t h e proper order. It may be that the order of their importance in the play was what was intended. There was no doubt but that the outstanding character in the au hor’s mind was that of Linda Se , , j_3 _ T7'„ ~ ~ XUii, Ctuiy - --- Thompson, while playing opposite her as her sister Julia, was Shir ley Jean Beasley who handled that difficult and somewhat selfish part most convincingly. Sandwiched between them was yenjamin M. Jones, Jr., as John ny Case, a role of which he made the most. Richard J. Cassidy, as the girls’ brothei, had the burden of corned”, and carry it he did, and that right nobly. The success ful and wealthy domineering papa was undertaken by E. E. Erb in a somewhat restrained manner. Norma Green and Pvt. Bill Jack as a chatty married couple light-: ened things up a bit with their bieeziness, as did Margaret T. Heilig a.nd Charles R. Keane as another married couple of slightly different type. There were three characters who removed coats left on chairs, brought in liquor, and all that sort of thing, and they were done smoothly by Lester Preston, Guer-, ®rd Simkins, and Sally Herring. The program listed 39 people Who assisted in some way or other With the show, but special mention! should be made of the scenery and the general stags setting under the chairmanship of Lewis Ormond end Claude Howell, as it was ex cellent, particularly the setting of the second act. when a nursery was shown to perfection.

Rowland wrote a letter to Joseph Johnson today, informing the 65 year-old farmer that “wildcat or no wildcat,”- his three children must return to school not later than November 29. During the additional week of grace granted by the superinten dent, he said he hoped the natives; of the Queens district, a mountain ous area 10 miles west of here,: would cash in on a $100 reward of fered for the animal. Johnson had pleaded that his children, 10 to 16 years old, had | been absent from classes since; mid-October because of the animal i whose yowls, he said, were so fear some that they made his hair stand ‘•plumb straight up on his head.” The farmer added that until the big cat set up housekeping in his district, he had “never been; afeared of man ner beast.” Rowland said that he had listen-1 ed to Johnson’s petition, "not be cause I doubted the authenticity of the story, but because I wanted to see the color of the eyes of a Lewis countian who would hesitate to fight a wildcat.” The natives of the district sub stantiated Johnson’s story of the animal, which the farmer said was ‘big as a policedog.” Children awoke and cried at night on hearing it, they added, and it had every dog in the neighborhood cowed. Whether there was more than one or a pair of the wildcats was a question for debate in cabins and at meeting places. Some asserted there also was a litter of kittens The reward was announced yes terday by county Judge Taft Stone after a meeting with county of ficials.

All engine combustion creates corrosive acids. They’re bad enough even when "exhaled” fairly well, but from now on they won’t be! Winter’s extra-low mileage and cool operation mean acids at their worst. Patented Conoco Nfh oil, however —thanks to costly pioneer research—brings the special ingredient whose magnet-like effect oil plates your engine’s fine inner finish, to cone with corrosion. Attached as closely as protective chrome plating could be, the internal oil-flatting keeps up its steadiest possible hindrance to direct contact between adds and engine parts....' rhen down go the chances of corrosion, just as soon aa you change to popular-priced Nth oil for Winter, at Your Mileage Merchant’s Conoco station.
