PAYTON SISTERS THIS WEEK
AT MAJESTIC AIRDOME.
The Payton Sisters began a week's
engagement at the Majestic Alrdome
last night and their offering, "La Bell?
Marie," proved to be one of the pret-
tiest plays seen In Shawnee for a long
time. The acting people were at
their best and each seemed especially
suited for the part they portrayed.
Local theatergoers have grown to
expect nothing but the best from the
Payton company and there was an un-
usually large audience out last night
to enjoy the production.
The vaudeville between act, four
numbers in all, were a pleasing fea-
ture.
The play tonight will be "A Louis-
iana Romance," with a change of vau-
deville acts likewise.
The Payton Sls'ers give away a
diamond ring after the show Satur-
day night to the person holding tho
lucky number.
