ALL THE REAL NEWS AND SPECIAL FEATURES CAREFULLY EDITED BEAD BY BRIGHT PEOPLE IT SHINES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN NORTHERN STARK COUNTY READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE An Independent Newspaper That Plays No Favorites Among Advertisers or Subscribers, .and With One Price To AH VOL. 4—NO. 19. NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1926. 2.00 PER YEAR. "THE GYPSY ROYER" CAPTIVATES CROWD Acting, Singing, Dancing and Costumes In Operetta Wins Well Deserved Praise For Smooth Presentation. MUSIC, TOO, GETS HONORS The proof, of the pudding is in the eating, and by the same token the proof of an operetta is in the singing and the acting. On Saturday evening the Girls' Glee Club of the North Canton high school seived a pudding up ' and it-proved tasty indeed. An overflowing- audience—including as aurh- ' ences always do in. North Canton— plavgoes of all degrees of sphisticn- tioii and ingeniousness, devoured it with no uncertain gusto, and the reaciy applause of the house bespoke an ■'.'-alert and pleased public quite capti- ' Vated by the stage work of Mrs. Cora Rea's. pupils, and every bouquet hancl- cd out was well earned by faithful, capable service. . Plots Don't Count Plots in operettas, like bridegrooms at weddings, are necessary to the success of the performance, but they are never expected to overstep good form" by making themselves conspicuous. A mere hint of what the play is about and the singing and music carries the piece to a successful conclusion. ' .. T , , So "The Gypsy Rover." Lost when • a child, he was adopted by a roving band of gypsies and reaches manhood firm in the belief that he is to the Manner born. The curtain ascends ■upon a camp of gypsies sound asleep. Daylight brings wakefulness and there is singing, good singing.be it noted, by the entire group. They disperse and then Meg (Ruth Wise) sitting before a fire and kettle discusses with her husband Margo (Dorothy Stone) the probability of their foster son, Rob, "the Rover" (Naomi Martin) securing the money and lands which rightfully belong to him. Meg and Margo were letter perfect in their respective roles and they carried the "parts of 'foster parents in a way to win deserved applause. As Rob the Rober, Naomi Martin, went through an exacting ordeal creditably and well, and her singing hit the mark in a way to delight the crowd—one of the largest ever seen in the Community Building. . Of course there is a belle m the camp and her name is Zara (Marie Bouchie) and she is in love with the dashing Sinfo (Marjorie Manchester) and they make "eyes"at each other in true gypsy style. These girls sang, danced, glided and kept step m the way it ought to be dorie and the audience wasn't at all backward in bringing palhis together in loud applause. Enter Lady Constance (Thelma Sonnhalter) daughter of Sir George Martendale, and Lord Craven (Ruth Mohler). In riding garb they stroll around the deserted camp, having lost their way. Fog a few minutes Lady Constance steps out of the picture leaving Lord Craven, her betrothed, to his own meditations. He announces, with a flourish of his monocle, that he is a brave man, when suddenly he .becomes conscious that he is not alone, and drops to his knees when Marto, the gypsy, touches him on the back -with a dagger. It was Ruth Mohler's fate to be cast as the molly-coddle Craven,,and right royally did. she accept the role, "don't yer know." The vagabonds take his watch and cause him much perturbation of spirit while in his presence, greatly to the amuse- . ment of the audience. It is here the Rover meets for the first time Lady Constance, and the outcome is a heightening of both the dramatic and the musical values of the piece, with irresistible impression upon the audience. Sir George Martendale (Kathryn McCamant) father cf Lady Constance, stormed as becomes an English gentleman when-he learns that his daughter is enamored of a gypsy. Kathryn's exhibition of the smartly tongued and the smartly mannered in the upper circles of Britain deserves the compliments it ■received OBLIVION WORK DAY AND NIGHT Advertising is the greatest force used to fight the ignominy of oblivion. Oblivion, is at work, whether you like it o. not, day and night. Like the leaves of autumn or the snows of winter, it soon piles a mound of fprgetfulness over the name of the non-advertiser. What are you doing to fight oblivion? The wise business man uses the keen-edged tool of advertising. Advertising in The Sun is the surest way to keep your name before the people of North Canton and nearby villages. It is an active, aggressive power that gets real returns. LOCAL TALENT TO ASSIST CHALMERS Noted Harpist Will Be Heard In the Community Building On Wednesday Evening, Mach 17, In Some Excellent Numbers. SOLOS, DUETS AND DANCES TRUTHFUL ADVERTISEMENTS Since the first day of its publication "Reliability" lias been one of the chief requirements for admittance to .$he Sun's advertising columns;)',so the publishers feel safe iji" saying- that advertising in this newspaper is 100 per cent, dependable.. If, however, you find an advertisement that is not strictly truthful, please report it to The Sun. dash and culture, the whole scene blending harmoniously. Weeks ago we heard that the girls and their coach, Mrs. Rea, were hard at work on the operetta, and they have the satisfaction of knowing that rot ji solitary flaw was perceptible from the beginning until the end. It was a great night for the entire membership o," the Glee Club, and those who are to follow in the years to come will rea':. .2 that it requires something- more li.-in labor to equal the work seen cv: the Community Building stage on £;...Lirday night. It requires talent with u capital T, and this Mrs. Rea's pu;..-.s had in abundance. ' o Music lovers in North Canton and in all parts of The Sun's territory are expressing pleasure over the an nouncement that local talent will take part in the musical program in the Community Building on Wednesday night, March 17, when Harry J. j' Chalmers, noted harpist of"Akron and ■Cleveland, appears in concert here. North Canton established its' reputation several years ago as the home of several excellent singers and musicians, and since that time the list has been growing and the town's fame spreading until it is known far and wide for its vocal and instrumental music. Other Features The orchestra selected for the occasion is composed of local, players, and those in the "know" declare that Mr. Chalmers will smile his appreciation when he hears it. Solos and duets also by residents of this town will be heard, and an additional treat is the statement that several dance THANKS OF GLEE CLUB i he Girls' Glee Club of the North numbers will be given by the pupil Canton high school wish, through the columns of The Sun, to thank Lewis & Greenho for the use of the furniture on the stage during the operetta they gave on Saturday evening. -o ARRIVED TOO LATE Copy For The Sun Should Be Sent In Early. This week The Sun is compelled to go to press without a number of items sent in" this Wednesday morning. We like to oblige our friends, but when their news reaches this office a few hours before press time we find it impossible to use it. Don't wait until the last minute. Much of it should have reached The Sun on Monday- , > A GREAT PREACHER Dr. Burris -A. Jenkins Occupied Pulpit In the Community Christian Church. the Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, former president of- Kentucky University, Lexington, Ky., spoke' in the Community Christian church, morning and evening on Sunday, and all who heard him did not wonder at the statement that he. preaches two sermons to several thousand persons eaqh Sunday morn ing in the Linwood Boulevard Chris tian church, Kansas City, Mo., of which he is pastor. As a public speaker Dr. . Jenkins ranks with the best in America. He is eloquent, orderly in arranging his words and convincing without,any apparent effort. He is broad-minded to a remarkable degree, and ."the community spirit" is his creed morning, noon and night. He is such a man Charles Dickens, William M. Thackeray, John Stuart Mill or Macaulay would have found delight in meeting, and even the cynical Bernard Shaw would acknowledge that "here's a man without froth." As an eye-witness of the World War, with.sons in the army, he discusses peace from a practical standpoint without any of the "sob-sister hysterics," and he proves conclusively tiiat the nations must get together and stay together if the world is to be something more than a slaughter house. Dr. Jenkins possesses that rarest Othwactive participants were Nina ! of. .a» ^alities, sound judgement by (Florence Roberts), Captain Jerome which he is able to winnow the wljeat (Clara Cossaboom), Sir Toby Lyon (Helen Nelius), McCorkle (Eleanore Mansfield), Lackey (Mary Youtz). The-work of these five girls was good, very good, and the swaggering captain- and Sir Toby looked as if they ■were waiting for Charles Dickens to give, them a chapter in one of his novels. A Well-Rounded Cast The singing of the individual players and of the Glee club as a whole ■was smooth and "catchy," and they missed no opportunity to heighten the pleasure of the audience. Vocally and dramatically each member in the cast surprised and delighted friends and .strangers alike. At the piano Leota Le Beau was exceptionally fine and her support by the high school orchestra under the direction of Mr. Cordier left nothing undone. This part of the program itself was well worth the price of a ticket,- and the compliments passed tipon the music were thick as bees around a favorite flower in June. The .',scenery and costumes ■were elaborate.:' The hoop skirts, the wigs and the silks and satins represented a small fortune in actual cash and in them the girls looked beautiful and stunning. A pretty picture made Lady Constance (Thelma Sonnhalter), capable actress, sweet of voice, as she sung of the man (The" Rover)-she was determined to marry, and she was surrounded by cavaliers and ladies of from the chaff. He is not carried away by fads and fancies, and he has a kindly smile and sense of humor one expects to find in a man master of himself. His visit to North .Canton was a real treat to many people and The Sun enjoyed his addresses to the limit. CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS of Mrs. Irene Converse of Canton. These dances are really classics and are seldom seen in the smaller cities. As was stated in The Sun last week, the program is under the auspices of the Music Committee of The Woman's Club of North Canton, and the primary purpose of the concert is to more fully acquaint people with the high quality of-musical ability of our local talent. Another object is to raise funds to assist The Woman's Club in promoting local worth-while projects. Newspaper Prises Chalmers Of Mr. Chalmer's ability, the Pittsburg Post comments as follows: "He is an artist of ability and has toured the country several times with some of the best organizations on the road. One of the best entertainers on the road today. Having the advantage of superior instruction and a natural love for his art, he has won universal popularity."

ZION REFORMED-CHURCH [By the Pastor] "Go»to church" efforts and "go to church" Sundays are in evidence here and there, and why should such a tiling be necessary? The Church ought to make herself felt, and she ought to have attractive power. Such who constitute the membership of the Church out not to need any urging. If only all had the spirit of Paul or the spirit of ^ Christ,.- church-going would be the most natural thing in the world. "For as many as are led (impelled) by the spirit of God, these are the sons of God," Rom. 8:14. We are glad to report a real-good attend- a; ce, 428 in Sunday-school, and a real attentive and inspiring^ audience in church service. .'■'■'* The young people, some twenty of them, met on Sunday evening for organization into a Christian Endeavor society.

Don't forget the len- The Woman's Missionary society ten service. n:eets in the church on Thursday evening of this week. A cordial welcome is extended to all who come to all our regular appointments next Sunday, and so far the hours remain unchanged. 0 THE COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN CHURCH [By the Pastor] Everybody who heard Dr. Jenkins enjoyed his fine sermons. He preached a quiet, spiritual message at the morning worship and delivered a strong address on international relations at the night service. Dr. Jenkins is a strong, original and independent thinker and has built up a great church on entirely new and liberal methods. He fills his church five times each Sunday. He left an inquiring taste in his hearers' minds on Sunday night when he told briefly of his methods. Mi-. Jenkins uses the movie and speaks most enthusiastically of the results. We were glad of his visit and will welcome him back any time he has the time and inclination. We propose to discuss his methods in the sermon on Sunday night under the caption, "If not the Movie, What?".. Shall we be content with partial success or shall we insist on undertaking the full task? Let's see. The members of the Clover Leaf class and their husbands are planning to attend the evening service in a body. The class will be entertained at the home of Mrs. Fred Keifer on Friday night of this week. March the 28th has been decided upon for the celebration of Decision day. We hope the whole membership will keep this in mind and help make it a real celebration. The class taught by H. W. Hoover is meeting at the church tonight at six o'clock for a pot-luck supper in honor of Mrs. Quimby, who is changing her residence to Medina. The mid-week prayer services will ithe first six weeks of .the second be on Thursday night next week on I semester were given out on Tuesday, account of the program given in the i March 9., The high school cards were Community Building,- by The Woman's I given out on Wednesday, March 10 Club.

On Saturday, March 20, many young ladies in North Canton will be selling Forget-Me-Nots to aid disabled World War Veterans. Wonder if the reader will recognize the girls in the picture? ATHLETE IN TOWN Glen Eugene Wehl Is Ready To Meet All Comers On Their Terms. The North Canton high school boys created a surprise by defeating Central Hi on Friday night. Central'led 18 to 11 at the half and maintained a slight lead until near the end of the third period when North Canton tied at 17. Thereafter Central could not gain the lead. Ames scored well for Central, while Stickel led for North Canton, with Williams eight points behind. The line-up: N. Canton fid Stickel, f 5 Williams, f ,4 J. Swope, c 1 Bishop, g 0 Evans, g 0 R. Swope, g 0 fi. 3 0 0 0 0 0 pts. 13 8 2 0 OI 0! A new athlete has arrived in town, and his manager, who happens to bo the handsome and well-groomed Albert Allison, is authority for the statement that "Glen Eugene bars none." Glen has already demonstrated that he won't stand for any non.«ensp, and his dad, Clark Wehl, some- athletic gent himself by the way, watches him closely, never knowing at what moment lie may get a ko. "The arrival of Glen has caused me to resign as president of the Post Hole Company, ltd.," said Bert, "and frqm now on it will keep me busy instructing him. Of course his father and mother have what they call a prior claim on Glen, but as his grandad watch my speed." The Sun extends its congratulations to Glen Eugene. He showed excellent judgment in becoming a member of the families of Wehl and Allison. VALENTINE HALTER His Condition Was Critical When The Sun Went To Press. The Sun has many times expressed its belief that the residents of its territory are all loyal to the Community Building- in appreciation of the many pleasures they derive from its use. Tho large audience assembled to see the good work of the Gills' Glee Club on Saturday night was but one of the many instances of tlie year that express the need of such a place as the Community Building and the advantages of having it with no other effort than the payment of a small yearly fee. Check Up and See If those who avail themselves of the pleasures offered by this big building will do a little checking up they will find that it is truly "the heart of North Canton." As a meeting place for committee meetings, club meetings, Scout meetings, Hi-Y gatherings, athletic games and on down the list of profitable and pleasurable opportunity, few large cities are so well served as North Canton. To Entertain Guests Since the day the Community Building opened its doors .North Canton has never been ashamed to invite the greatest speakers or the best entertainers to this town because of this splendid home in which to receive them, and as a result North Canton frequently has opportunity to see and hear the best that would otherwise pass them by. Renew Your Membership The time is close at hand when memberships must be renewed and it is safe to say that our residents will speak in ''no uncertain tones by promptly and enthusiastically send-> ing their renewal cards back to the Community Building signed up for another year.

It was a great night for the entire membership o," the Glee Club, and those who are to follow in the years to come will rea':. .2 that it requires something- more li.-in labor to equal the work seen cv: the Community Building stage on £;...Lirday night. It requires talent with u capital T, and this Mrs. Rea's pu;..-.s had in abundance. ' o Music lovers in North Canton and in all parts of The Sun's territory are expressing pleasure over the an nouncement that local talent will take part in the musical program in the Community Building on Wednesday night, March 17, when Harry J. j' Chalmers, noted harpist of"Akron and ■Cleveland, appears in concert here.

This week The Sun is compelled to go to press without a number of items sent in" this Wednesday morning. We like to oblige our friends, but when their news reaches this office a few hours before press time we find it impossible to use it. Don't wait until the last minute. Much of it should have reached The Sun on Monday- , > A GREAT PREACHER Dr. Burris -A. Jenkins Occupied Pulpit In the Community Christian Church. the Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, former president of- Kentucky University, Lexington, Ky., spoke' in the Community Christian church, morning and evening on Sunday, and all who heard him did not wonder at the statement that he. preaches two sermons to several thousand persons eaqh Sunday morn ing in the Linwood Boulevard Chris tian church, Kansas City, Mo., of which he is pastor. As a public speaker Dr. . Jenkins ranks with the best in America. He is eloquent, orderly in arranging his words and convincing without,any apparent effort. He is broad-minded to a remarkable degree, and ."the community spirit" is his creed morning, noon and night. He is such a man Charles Dickens, William M. Thackeray, John Stuart Mill or Macaulay would have found delight in meeting, and even the cynical Bernard Shaw would acknowledge that "here's a man without froth." As an eye-witness of the World War, with.sons in the army, he discusses peace from a practical standpoint without any of the "sob-sister hysterics," and he proves conclusively tiiat the nations must get together and stay together if the world is to be something more than a slaughter house. Dr. Jenkins possesses that rarest Othwactive participants were Nina ! of. .a» ^alities, sound judgement by (Florence Roberts), Captain Jerome which he is able to winnow the wljeat (Clara Cossaboom), Sir Toby Lyon (Helen Nelius), McCorkle (Eleanore Mansfield), Lackey (Mary Youtz). The-work of these five girls was good, very good, and the swaggering captain- and Sir Toby looked as if they ■were waiting for Charles Dickens to give, them a chapter in one of his novels. A Well-Rounded Cast The singing of the individual players and of the Glee club as a whole ■was smooth and "catchy," and they missed no opportunity to heighten the pleasure of the audience. Vocally and dramatically each member in the cast surprised and delighted friends and .strangers alike. At the piano Leota Le Beau was exceptionally fine and her support by the high school orchestra under the direction of Mr. Cordier left nothing undone. This part of the program itself was well worth the price of a ticket,- and the compliments passed tipon the music were thick as bees around a favorite flower in June. The .',scenery and costumes ■were elaborate.:' The hoop skirts, the wigs and the silks and satins represented a small fortune in actual cash and in them the girls looked beautiful and stunning. A pretty picture made Lady Constance (Thelma Sonnhalter), capable actress, sweet of voice, as she sung of the man (The" Rover)-she was determined to marry, and she was surrounded by cavaliers and ladies of from the chaff. He is not carried away by fads and fancies, and he has a kindly smile and sense of humor one expects to find in a man master of himself. His visit to North .Canton was a real treat to many people and The Sun enjoyed his addresses to the limit. CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS of Mrs. Irene Converse of Canton. These dances are really classics and are seldom seen in the smaller cities.

ZION REFORMED-CHURCH [By the Pastor] "Go»to church" efforts and "go to church" Sundays are in evidence here and there, and why should such a tiling be necessary? The Church ought to make herself felt, and she ought to have attractive power. Such who constitute the membership of the Church out not to need any urging. If only all had the spirit of Paul or the spirit of ^ Christ,.- church-going would be the most natural thing in the world.

He preached a quiet, spiritual message at the morning worship and delivered a strong address on international relations at the night service. Dr. Jenkins is a strong, original and independent thinker and has built up a great church on entirely new and liberal methods. He fills his church five times each Sunday. He left an inquiring taste in his hearers' minds on Sunday night when he told briefly of his methods. Mi-. Jenkins uses the movie and speaks most enthusiastically of the results. We were glad of his visit and will welcome him back any time he has the time and inclination. We propose to discuss his methods in the sermon on Sunday night under the caption, "If not the Movie, What?".. Shall we be content with partial success or shall we insist on undertaking the full task? Let's see.

The Sun has many times expressed its belief that the residents of its territory are all loyal to the Community Building- in appreciation of the many pleasures they derive from its use. Tho large audience assembled to see the good work of the Gills' Glee Club on Saturday night was but one of the many instances of tlie year that express the need of such a place as the Community Building and the advantages of having it with no other effort than the payment of a small yearly fee. Check Up and See If those who avail themselves of the pleasures offered by this big building will do a little checking up they will find that it is truly "the heart of North Canton." As a meeting place for committee meetings, club meetings, Scout meetings, Hi-Y gatherings, athletic games and on down the list of profitable and pleasurable opportunity, few large cities are so well served as North Canton.
