Newspaper editors are some-
times peculiar brutes, and they
like to know things in advance
of when other people find out.
With this end in view this
writer called the editor of the
Mexia News today to get a real
first hand check-up on the
"Passton Play" which was pre-
sented there earlier in the week
—and, that gentleman con-
firmed practically every good
thing that has been said about
the play.
It was stated that the play
in every detail had lived up to
every expectation and that he
was sure the people of Cle-
burne would not be disappoint-
ed if they attended the show.
Editors may not be theatri-
cal critics in the true sense of
the word, but we are willing
to shoot a couple of dollart on
the word of the average scribe
when he recommends an at-
traction. —“
Ergo: On the recommends-.
tion of our fellow scribe we
base our prediction that the
people of Cleburne are going
to be glad they have been af-
forded the opportunity to see
this classic production.
