14 THE INDEX, Saturday, June 30, 1928
T H E S T A G E A N D S C R E E N
T H E Nixon Players will
present during the week
commencing Monday,
July 2, with matinees on Wednesday
(Fourth of July) and
Saturday, Sam H. Harris' New
York and Chicago big success,
"The Nervous Wreck," by Owen
Davis. This adventure in the far
West originally played with the
two others, Taylor Holmes and
Vivian Tobin.
ANN HARDING
A member of The Nixon Players.
The story, written in a spirit
of fun, has to do with an Easterner
who, suffering from a long
list of imaginary ailments, seeks
health by making a flivver tour
of the West. He finds adventure,
becomes involved in a hundred
and one complications,
meets the girl of girls, regains
his health and discovers romance
and happiness. Katherine Wilson
will play Sally Morgan,
originally played by Vivian
Tobin, and Harry Bannister
plays the part of Henry Williams,
originally played by Taylor
Holmes. Other members of
The Nixon Players have prominent
parts including Josephine
Whittell, Louise Quinn, Kathryn
Card, Fred Sullivan, Joseph
Thayer, Clifford Dunstan, Howard
Freeman, Clifford Edge and
Frank Reyman.
STANLEY
Pirates of the old days will
relive in the Stanley stage presentation
"Eight Bells," which
will open Monday. Stars galore
will be found in this atmospheric
presentation of song, dance and
syncopation. Olivette, well
known eccentric dancer; Paul
Howard, who believes in making
himself into a pretzel; the Lime
Trio, "Golliwog" dancers; Elsie
Gilbert, "The Sweetheart of the
Blues" and Georgie Tapps, who
does a buck dance on his toes,
will all contribute to the gaiety.
In "The Hawk's Nest," the
Wagner's Big Side Show is the
biggest show of its kind on
earth and it will be brought intact
to the stage of the Davis
Theatre next week. Everybody
likes a circus, and here is a congress
of living freaks. They are
not merely a group of Nature's
mistakes, they are a lot of clever
people. The Fat Woman, for instance,
is a dancer; and the little
lady no higher than your knee
is a prima donna. Wagner's
Side Show has all the atmosphere
of the lot. The first scene
is the Circus Grounds with its
flaring banners. There is Billy
Inman, the barker, the silver
tongued orator doing his ballyhooing,
stimulating the crowd to
"step up" to the ticket booth.
Then the scene changes to the
arena, with the world's tallest
man; the head hunter; the perfect
doll lady; the Caucasian
Dagger Dancer; the six hundred
and thirty pound Roly Poly
girl; the King of Albinos and
Jean Eugene, half man and half
woman on display.

SCHOLARSHIP AT MOUNT
UNION
The class of 1917 of Mount
Union College, Alliance, Ohio,
has established a scholarship
which has been named for one
of the members of the class, Ray
McLean, who died in France
during the world war. The
scholarship, which now amounts
to $150, will be awarded each
year to that sophomore who as
a freshman had the highest
scholastic standing among those
who participated in some form
of athletics.
