Promoters
Have Been Unable
to Obtain Theater for
December 6
The entertainment planned to take place
December 6 to aid the Home for the Blind has been indefinitely postponed
because no theater could be obtained for the occasion. S. V. D. fraternity will
give a benefit entertainment for the institution December 17, and it would not
have been feasible to hold a second entertainment for the same cause any later
in December.
Those who had the entertainment in
charge wish to thank Charles E. Sheldon, Jr., who volunteered to arrange a
musical program, and Lamar Hill, who expressed a willingness to look after the
dramatic feature. Thanks are also due to Mrs. William Lawson Peel and Mrs.
Thomas B. Felder, who, with their usual kindness, were ready to lend their
assistance.
All the public
and private schools and colleges were ready to take part in the recitation
contest, and several prominent citizens were willing to give their assistance.
As the entertainment would have been a most unique and interesting one, its
postponement is greatly regretted and it is hoped it will be given some time
early next spring.
