Excellent Cast
Chosen For Play
Rehearsals Progress On
Firemen's Production
|
The muttered threats, anguished |
screams and revolver shots which
drift from the auditorium of Dallas
Borough High School these evenings
are really no cause for serious alarm.
It’s merely the cast of “West of
the Rio”, the play to be given by
Laing Fire Company on March 7
and 8, busy rehearsing its Western
melodrama.
With completion of her cast, Mrs.
Rood began working in earnest on
the production this week, and last
night she expressed delight with
the progress the amateur actors and
actresses are making. “It's one of
the finest casts I ever worked with,”
Mrs. Rood said. Others who dropped
in to watch rehearsals agreed that
Dallas has a surprising abundance
of dramatic talent.
There are only four feminine
speaking roles in the play, although
there will be more than a score of
young women in the singing and
dancing choruses. Mrs. Thomas Rob-
inson has been cast for the role of
Kate, a typical Western girl who
operates the Silver Dollar Hotel in
Sundown, Texas. “Queenie”, the
pretty biscuit-shooter in the Silver
Dollar restaurant, will be Mrs. John
Durbin. Mrs. Howard Caperoon
has a humorous role, that of Ma-
dame LaBelle, the slightly tipsy
mind reader who comes to Sun-
down with a traveling theatrical
troupe. One of the most difficult
parts, the tragic role of Lupe, the
wife of an ill-fated Mexican sheep-
herder, will be played by Miss Betty
Niemeyer.
The staff of the Silver Dollar in-
cludes Oscar, the clerk, played by
Harold Mayer, and Smokie, the lazy,
colored handyman, played by Arth-
ur Franklin. Addison Woolbert is
“Lucky”, the wandering gambler
who drifts into Sundown and runs
afoul of the law, in the person of
the Sheriff, played by Charles Jones,
and his brave deputy, enacted by
Clyde Lapp. James O’Boyle does an
excellent job as the Parson and
Dean Ide fits the role of manager
of the “Broadway Ladies” like a
glove, William Baker, Jr., James La-
Barr and Grover Jones will be mem-
bers of the gang of the Rio Kid.
There will be two choruses, in-
jected as a musical relief from the
tense action of the play. The open-
ing chorus will be composed of cow-
girls. The “Broadway Ladies”, a
group of prominent young women
of Dallas and its vicinity, will appear
in the second act, during a number
which will be Seglured by a unique
singing ack-DY . and Mrs=&kerman
ern.
One role, already filled and being
rehearsed, will remain a mystery
until the night of the production.
Even on the program there will be
no character listed opposite that
name—only a question mark. Who
will play the part of the villainous
Rio Kid will remain a secret with
the director and
March 7!

23 0f 43 Killed Lost
Lives On Rural Roads
Twenty of the 43 persons whe
lost their lives in automobile acci-
dents on Luzerne County highways
during the first 10 months of 1939
were killed in the rural area, ac-
cording to the Pennsylvania State
Motor Police.
Pedestrian accidents made up the
greatest single percentage of any
type of accidents. Seventeen pedes-
trians lost their lives because of
carelessness and three were killed
while intoxicated.
Most of the accidents occurred in
clear weather, on straight, level
stretches after darkness had fallen.
U. S. Route 309, which connects
Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton, claimed
the greatest number of lives. Nine
persons were killed on that highway.
Four were killed on Route 11, which
parallels the river; four on county
roads; two on Pennsylvania Route
No. 115, which comes from Wil-
liamsport and cuts through Hunts-
ville; one on No. 315 and one on No.
