•Miss Larch-Miller is coaching the
play, "The Foreign Cent." which will
be put on for the benefit of the Yeo-
men Lodge next Tuesddy night at the
high school auditorium. Miss Larch-
Miller is very popular as a coach, and
her plays receive the patronage of the
many who know her.
The leading characters in this cele-
brated farce are a retired Kansas
City pork packer, who brings his fam-
ily to New York to "get 'em in so-
ciety," his son, who has a penchant
for breaking plate glass windows, and
u barber who has read "The Light of
Asia" and makes a hobby of theoso-
phy. The son, to got himself out of
a scrape, introduces the barber to his
father as an old friend from India
and a leanysd pundit. The old gentle-
man welcomes "The Foreign Gent"
with open arms, and starts advertis-
ing the fact that he lias as his guest
one of the leading lights of theosophy
—and the fun then begins and contin-
ues through three acts of clear joy-
ousness.
Mr. Hal Johnson will be seen as
the pork-packer from Kansas. Mr. A.
U. Chat burn will play the foreign
gent. John Lydlck, who fras diatlnj
The ladies served delicious refresh-
