^|fO L U M E II I » >— ■' — » — CHOTEAU, TETON COUNTY^ MONTANA, APRIL 2, 193 ? NUMBER 40 A Cheerful Liar Choteau people will not need to go to Great Falls to see a good play. In the “ Cheerful Liar” the opportunity will be given to witness one o f the best comedies ever produced before a Choteau audience. Unlike most light pieces, this play has a capital plot, full of entanglements, and in some re spects it resembles the world idmous play, “ Charley’s Aunt.” The idea of the last act was taken from the same identical source. So if you enjoyed “ Charley’s Aunt,” you will enjoy a “ Cheer ful Liar” all the more. ' Martin Reed will.make the hit of his life in “ Cheerful Liar.” Those who have seen him before will wish to see him again. Miss Rogers will captivate her audi ence with her charming voice, and pleasing appearance. Choteau has a very fine reader in Miss Cara- dine, and she will„ appear as Birdie Sweetlove who is Rev. Ezra Stiggins’ housekeeper at a gold cure establishment. Miss Caradine has a difficult part to r''¿carry, but she twill have the house with her in her work. Miss Hazel Brown who did so well at the commencement play last June, will take the very amusing part of a'Hoosier Schoolma’arn. Miss Brown makes a graceful appear ance on the stage, and has many accomplishments for this work. Then, there is John Hall, who takes the part of Gen. Boomer, a Chicago real estate agent. Mr. 'H a ll is good in anything he under takes. Guy McGuffin appears in every * act, and opens the play. He is the one who is never guilty, but always assists the judge in telling lies. Roger Burrell who has had considerable amateur experience ^vill take the part of Guy. He will make you laugh many times. Mr. Dietrich who is staging the performance appears as Randolph Dearborn. Randolph has lots of acting, and is mixed up in every part of the play. Mr. Dietrich made a very decided success in the part of the country boy in ‘Home Ties” last spring, so he is not new to the stage. He wili carry his work with acceptability to all. Other towns have put on home talent plays this winter but it re- •mains for Choteau to carry off the [“-'blue ribbons in amatuer perform ances. The people are proud of Choteau’s home talent. You will all wish to see this play. If it is your last dollar, it will be well ’ spent if you get a seat for “ Cheer ful Liar.” Only once in a life time do you have the opportunity to see your own boys and girls appear in such a decidedly pleas ing and high class comedy as ^ ‘Cheerful Liar.” Miss Sigfrid Lier will entertain the audience with a piano solo between acts one and two. Miss Lier will also play the accompani ment for an orchestra selection by John Holland. Belleview Items Mrs. Gray and daughters had an exciting runaway Saturday while driving up Lane’s hill.

Farmers Co-operative Co. O. S. Forseth, Se<;y. îr- ba till for Palm Sunday, March 28, 1915, was a red letter clay for thejpeople of Dutton, for on that day, for the first time the Catholics held service in their new church. For several months they have worked zealously to complete the finest church building in Teton county. In addition to the blessing and distribution of palm leaves there was the reading of the passion of Christ and the reception o f a con vert into the fold. / The citizens of Dutton appre ciate this new advantage to their villiage, and are worthy of it, for they showed a few weeks ago that they believe in keeping the village free from contagion of | immortality, which is connived at , in so many villages, much to the disgust of respectable people and worse to the scandalizing of school hildren. Many eyes of settlers with families to raise will now be turned toward Dutton, where a good, moral, and religious atmos phere surround their wives and children.
