Hold your Breath Here It Comes
Hold your breath and grab firmly to your chair, the "skele¬ ton Walks" this Sunday and Mon¬ day evenings at 8 p.nr: at the grrade sehool auditorium. If you want to experience the unusual, this is definitly your finest oppor¬ tunity.
Strange, ethereal noises are heard. A skeleton walks through the dim shadows of the house, ca'.^ying the beautiful, sweet Elaine from where she was sleep¬ ing to a chamber of death. Will Bill be able to rescue her? Will the sinister Dr. Fersig accomplish his evil plan?
If you want the answers to these important questions, you will have to witness for yourself 'The Skele¬ ton Walks' 'and its startling out¬ come.
The cast, though willing to per¬ form their art without gratuity, acknowledges sadly that a dona¬ tion will be requested, a mere pit- ance of fl per adult and 50c per child.
