STROLLER PLAYERS TO

ONJHORT TOUR

Play to Be Taken to Pineville,
Middlesboro and Harlan in
May.
"Lady
Fan," the
Widermere's
Stroller production for this season, is
being rehearsed nightly and is being
whipped into shape for presentation in
Lexington on the nights of April 26
and 27.
The cast having been selected some
weeks ago is especially capable and
strenuous rehearsals are being held every night in the armory where the set
to be used in the presentation has been
set up.
Gilbert Smith, stage manager for the
Strollers, visited Pineville, Middlesboro and Harlan last week in the interest of taking the Strollers to the
mountain cities for the production of
the play. The dates sot for the performances in these towns are April
30, May 1; 2 and 3.
The setting and lighting effects to be
used in the production this season are
more elaborate than have ever been
used before by the Strollers and their
production promises to be the most
finished and more nearly professional
of anything attempted heretofore.

discus hrow and second in the 220
yard dash. Hall, the Freshman who
captured the cross country run last fall,
came across in the distance events
taking first in the mile and two mile
runs.
The Sophs presented a team com
posed largely of varsity men who were
training for Louisville meet and for a
time gave the Freshman a hard race,
Bown and Wfolfe doing most of
their work. Dewhurst was the main
and almost the only cog in the Junior
machinery While the Senior colors
were upheld by Davidson.
Brown and Hall, in the two mile
run furnished the most thrilling race of
the meet. Brown set the pace thru-othe race with Hall trailing a foot
behind. On the last lap both men
sprinted one being ahead and then
