THRILLING FEATS
SCHEDULED FOR NEXT SHOW BY
MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.
A Western Drama Entitled "Ousting
Bice and His Gang" , a Fea
tureAlso a Perilous
Parachute Leap.
John Sauer, theatrical manager
pleasant calLat this office last "night
and favored ns with . the program
for the next production to be stag
ed by the league. The league is re
peating by request the production
"The Nomination of a Commission
er and Members 'of the Board of
Education for the City of Abilene"
and under the direction of Mr. Sauer
will present something stirring in
the line of specialties between acts.
As a starter Mr. Sauer has prom
ised a perilous paraqhute leap in
which the, reporter for the Reflector
Is to do the leap from the - top of
Andreeon Hall. Mr. Sauer promises
that the parachute will be, conspic
uously absent.
. Following close Iry the proximity
of this feat is another entitled
"Ousting Rice and His Gang." This
feature promises to be one of the
big attractions of the evening. In
explaining the gist of the little fea
ture Mr. Sauer said that "Rice and
his gang" want's to run the municipal
league for private gain and ' that
they had packed the meeting. All
of the members who Joined at the
last meeting are to be ousted bodily
and with them the whole "gang.
Hereafter, says Mr. Sauer, only men
will be admitted to membership who
earn their bread by the sweat of
their brow. Incidentally, Mr. Sauer
thought that the Reflector had not
given the last production a square
deal aand he is staging an act for
the special benefit of opppeition
papers. . ,
The manager of the company is
losing none of bis ability ias an
orator and if the other members of
the cast improve with practice as
has Mr. Saner there will be a great
improvement in the play. -
