A NRA THI SS “THE GIRLS OVER HERE" BE i By Marie Doran This is an intensely patriotic play more than a piece of dramatic writ- ting—it is a call to National service. Written in stromg descriptive style, it tells the story of the wonderful re. sponse of the women of Amerca 19 their part in the world war. It is right up to the minute in telling of women's work, which has hrought them gratitude from fighting men everywhere. There is need nnd de mand for an appeal in dramatic form, and the publishers of this beautiful little play, feel that it meets all re quirements. The cast calls for eight young women, each doing her bit in a simple, cheerful manner, full of es- thusiasm, and love of home and coun. try. Into the aidlogue, the author has neatly woven a summary of results stories of real deeds “over there” It is an inspiring story, always dignified and cheerful. Rehearsals for this play are well ‘under wuy and it will be given by today announced that he would with. local talent in the very near future under the direction of Mrs. Ray E Brown.
