AT A GREAT SACRIFICE FOR
THE NEXT TEN DAYS
TRAMEL’S
“THE MICROBE OF LOVE.”
It is a mistake that Friday the 13th
is unlucky, for on the evening of this
date was given one of the most pre-
tentious and best entertainments
ever given in Sulphur Springs.
Promptly on time the curtain rose,
showing a picturesque view of sev-
enty little Indian warriors. Each lit-
tle tot sang in perfect unison, making
the opening chorus, “Moon Bird,” a
pleasing and unique number.
The first act was the Spinsters’
Club, composed of our most charming
young ladies, costumed in beautiful
evening gowns and. picture hats. The
president of the club, Miss Jessie But-
ler, gave a most earnest discourse on
the untiring efforts of the member^
to secure husbands. All means hav-
ing failed, Miss Ida Oliver as Wanta
Mann, gave the encouraging informa-
tion that she had catalogues from
Sears-Roebuck and Montgomery-jWard
showing, they were giving husbands
for trading stamps. However, these
premiums proved a disappointment.
Misses Baber, James and Oliver gave
reports of their efforts in behalf of
the club, but even these had failed.
Miss Della Dean, as Sophia Sweetgum,
made one of the hits of the program.
She saw a life of lonliness iq store for
the spinsters and endeavored to de-
vise some new plan to avert the en-
croaching danger. The hopeless pros-
pects proved too much for her and
she began to cry. The audience
smiled—Sophia began to sob and
moan—her pent up feelings at last at
the limit; then the audience laughed
and screamed, but the future looked
dark to Sophia and she refused to be
comforted. The spinsters were in sin-
cere sympathy with her and all were
broken-hearted. The louder they
cried, the louder the immense audi-
ence laughed and screamed. At this
critical moment, the president in-
formed them that she had secured the
services of Madam Hymen-Cupid, who
would inoculate the bachelors with a
“IfOvq Microbe.” Madam Hymen-Cu-
pid seemed the silver lining to the
dark cloud and was immediately en-
gaged. The club closed very happily
with the chorus, “I’m Looking for a
Nice Young Fellow.” This was fea-
tured by Miss Grace James in her
sweet, modest style and proved a hit.
Reports of the Spinsters’ plans
reached the Bachelors and the second
act showed them prepared to resist
the wily schemers. Dan Junell, as
Billy Bachelor, gave an impressive ad-
dress on the economy and joys of
Single blessedness. Other members
of this club, Bascom Thomas, Jim
Butler, Reid barren and Osborn Con-
nor were pledged to give their sup-
port. . Malcolm Bailey, as Henpeck,
had slipped off from home and was
giving a fiery harangue on the tyranny
of woman. He was soaring high in
his eloquence, when . Mrs. Henpeck,
Miss Laura Garrett, appeared. The
audience broke forth in storms Of
laughter when she led Henpeck home
in no gentle manner. However, he
Escaped and came running back for
safety. He was singing “Don’t Take
Me Home,” when the crafty wife rush-
ed in again, armed with a broom. She
gave vent to her fury by thrashing out
the entire Bachelor Club, and last, but
not least, was the punishment admin-
istered to the now subdued husband.
When Miss Garrett entered the second
time the audience went wild and gales
of laughter swept through the build-
ing.
The garden party in the third act,
revealed the cunning schemes of the
mysterious Madam Cupid. Miss Maude
Cain played this part and was easily
one of the brilliant stars of the cast.
Each girl enticed her bachelor to the
garden and Madam Cupid injected the
^‘Love Microbe” in the necks of the
hard hearted creatures. These .Mi-
crobes took effect immediately, and to
the Spinsters’ delight each Bachelor
became a fond and wooing lover.
Miss Jennie Searls and Grover Sel-
lers took everyone by surprise when
they entered costumed in ridiculous
Irish costumes, as Bridgett and Pat.
This started the crowd laughing again
and they gave lengthy applause. Pat
featured that pretty song, “Where the
River Shannon Flows,” in a way that
would prove creditable to any artist.
The repeated encore showed the ap-
preciation.
Mr. Haynie and Miss Jessie James,
as Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed, sang “Just
Love.” This was one of the sweetest
songs of the evening.
The play closed with the Spinsters
successful and the Bachelors willing-
ly kidnapped by use of the "Love Mi-
crobe.’
The specialties between the acts
were fine and were void of the hab-
itual “ameteur air.” “Phoebe Jane,”
given by eighteen girls and boys of
the High School, was one of the catchy
tuneful Bongs that sets your feet to
moving. Miss Jean Henderson and
Dan Magrill, costumed as a dear old
fashioned grandmother and, grand-
father, sang “Silver Threads Among
the Gold.” The quiet home scene im-
pressed everyone; as the sweet words
floated out to the audience, an intense
quiet possessed the crowd. There was
not a stir; all were spell-bound; at the
last word, long and appreciative ap-
plause was given.
The Swing Song showed a beautiful

novel picture. Misses Ticer, Yantis,
Murrie, James and Cummings were
seated in the flower-covered swings;
five lucky young men swung the girls
making a unique and rythmic chorus.
Each participant on the program
proved a star. Space forbids giving
mention individually.
This program required one hundred
of our home talent and was judged by
everyone to he the best ever given
here. Miss Goldie Green of Dallas di-
rected the rehearsals and the young
lady fully sustained her reputation for
capability in her line of work. Miss
Green is a thorough business young
woman and has had several years’
experience as expression teacher in
Hgw«£$ P,gyne College, besides sev-
eral years in this work. She is en
thusiastic and puts her whole mind
and heart into her/rehearsals, thereby
making her optimism contagious. She
is,a refined modest lady, and won the
confidence of our entire citizenship.
This play was given for the bene-
fit of the Carnegie Library and is the
first attempt to secure funds for its
maintenance/ To the untiring efforts
of Mrs. J. M. Melson is due much cre-
dit for the phenominal success, in se-
curing Miss Green to direct the pro-
gram. Mrs. Melson is always wide-
awake to the needs of our city, and is
regarded by young and old as a woman
who has the interest and welfare of
our people at heart. She realizes the
serious duty that confronts the Execu-
tive Board of the Library, as well as
every thinking man and woman to di-
rect and iniiuence the minds of the
young to the habit of reading good
literature. It is the duty of every cit-
izen of Sulphur Springs to give their
sincere interest and support to our
Library.
The editor is confident c t similar
success in the future.
