American Legion Plans National Essay Contest The Luttringer Company at the Park Theatre will present.the last three days .of this week "The Girl and the Outlaw.'"' It is a melo-drama filled with thrills and in its qualities for holding the interest of the sud-ience cannot be excelled. There is a lot of good wholesome comedy in the price that cannot fail to send the a udience into paro-xysms of laughter. A synopsis of the story is as follows: Colo-nel Cfayton, n southern gentleman, lias been blind for years, but , unaware of the identity of his benefactor, he has been restored to sight by Case Marcum; the sole survivor of a Family whom the Claytons had been at feud for years. Gabe Stetson, leader of a band of night riders, has not heard of the Colonel's good fortune. He enters the Clayton home and is confronted by the old southerner whom he supposed blind. With loaded revolver in hand and bent on having his revenge on Bella Clayton who has rejected his advances, Gabe sees the old colonel advancing toward him, and allows him to walk right to the muzzle of the revolver, even laughing at what might happen if he pulled the trigger. It is then Colonel Clayton acts. With one leap, he is on the renegrade, wrests the revolver from him and in the struggle Stetson is killed. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 26, 27 and 28, a comedy-drama, entitled "Another Man's Wife. " A beautiful story is revealed in the unfolding of this play, a story in which is sprinkled a generous pro'tion of bright comedy. There is also an element of mystery in the story that will keep the audience guessing until the final curtain. The play is splendid in every respect and will surely please. • "An Enemy in the Dark" will be played the latter half of next week. This is a comedy melo-drama with a well arranged plot in which is mingled roars of laughter, many surprises, and powerful scenes. This is a play with a punch and will keep everybody wondering as to who is the enemy in the dark.

The Luttringer Company at the Park
Theatre will present.the last three days .of
this week "The Girl and the Outlaw.'"' It
is a melo-drama filled with thrills and in its
qualities for holding the interest of the sud-ience
cannot be excelled. There is a lot of
good wholesome comedy in the price that
cannot fail to send the a udience into paro-xysms
of laughter.
A synopsis of the story is as follows: Colo-nel
Cfayton, n southern gentleman, lias been
blind for years, but , unaware of the identity
of his benefactor, he has been restored to
sight by Case Marcum; the sole survivor of
a Family whom the Claytons had been at
feud for years.
Gabe Stetson, leader of a band of night
riders, has not heard of the Colonel's good
fortune. He enters the Clayton home and
is confronted by the old southerner whom he
supposed blind. With loaded revolver in
hand and bent on having his revenge on Bella
Clayton who has rejected his advances, Gabe
sees the old colonel advancing toward him,
and allows him to walk right to the muzzle of
the revolver, even laughing at what might
happen if he pulled the trigger. It is then
Colonel Clayton acts. With one leap, he is
on the renegrade, wrests the revolver from
him and in the struggle Stetson is killed.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
June 26, 27 and 28, a comedy-drama, entitled
"Another Man's Wife. " A beautiful story
is revealed in the unfolding of this play, a
story in which is sprinkled a generous pro'tion
of bright comedy. There is also an element
of mystery in the story that will keep the
audience guessing until the final curtain.
The play is splendid in every respect and will
surely please.
• "An Enemy in the Dark" will be played
the latter half of next week. This is a comedy
melo-drama with a well arranged plot in
which is mingled roars of laughter, many
surprises, and powerful scenes. This is a
play with a punch and will keep everybody
wondering as to who is the enemy in the dark.
