Drama Staged By Alcorn
Group Is Real Treat
Those of us who braved the rain
and chilly winds to see The “At
torney for the Defense” were well
paid for our trouble. The young
people from Alcorn certainly put
on a real drama.
Mrs. Lawson and Mr. James
had thoroughly trained their
stars; and between the acts our
boys scored high with their Swing
Bands. Mr. and Mrs. Jones of
Clarksdale who are the parents of
Mr. Robert Jones, who played the
title role, motored to Mound
Bayou to witness the plav. Quite
a number of Mound Bayou social
ites attended the performance. The
Alcornites were entertained at
Ouida’s Grill after the performance.
Thursday night’s pleasures will
live in our memories a long time.

sick attack early Monday morning.

has been for the past three weeks
in attendance at the sick bed and
funeral services of her mother.
