'WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1927. THE DAILY INDEPENDENT, MURPHYSBbaO. ILLINOIS "Sunshine Comes With Spring" Given By Dramatic Club The play, "Sunshine Comes with Spring" will be presented by the Dramatic Club of the Murphysboro Township High School at the High School Monday night, March 28 Reserved seats -are on sale at the High School and at Shaw's drug store. Following are some of the con versations heard among people about the Dramatic Club plays. "A date on Monday night? You're crazy." "There's a Dramatic Club play I thought that you would like to see." "A Dramatic Club play! I'll be ready at any time you call.

I do so like to see their plays." Summing it up, "Sunshine" is really a good play. It is three acts of laughter and fun with a few tears between. "Sunshine" takes place in a san itarium near New York City. The plot centers around a baseball player a girl by the name of Mary. IE you have any aches or pains, drive them away.

If yon don't like to laugh I don't believe you would like the play. Amelia is gone! Maudelia is gone! what ever will happen. Just come and see. Few people wear suspenders DO YOU WEAR THEM? This simple sentence causes a great deal of trouble. Music will be furnished by the Orchestra under the direction of Miss Longbons.

The money received from this play is to go to get equipment that is needed in this department. Plays could be given with better success if the needed background were handy. Don't forget that "Sunshine" is a perfect gloom chaser. Egyptian Club To Meet In Chicago The annual' banquet of the Egyptian Club will be held at the High Noon Club at 18 S.

Obligation, "I must woi-k." Specification, "The works of Him that, sent me." Limitation, "While it is day." He said that there are seasons of the soul just as evident as seasons in harvest, quoting from Jeremiah, who said, "The summer is ended the harvest is past and I am not saved. Also 1 Kings 20'40 in which Ahab I was busy here and there he was gone." Rev.
