At the Opera House Saturday Night---
Scored a Hit at Clinton.
One of the prettiest attractions seen
in Clinton for some time was that of
the Parish Players, who furnished the
first of four numbers on Clinton's
entertainment course. The company
consisted of three gentlemen and one
.lady and the character of the entertainment was thr,ee one-act plays.
The first was a pretty little romance, in which a millionaire sought
a wife. The love -story Drought into
play some clever acting and convert
sation full of sparkling repartee.
The-second sketch was a-story of
the European war, the scene being
laid in a cottage on French soil. The
plot -brought to the cottage of the
French soldier and his wife the latter's brother, a German student compelled to leave his studies and fight
for what he knew- not. The brother
comes to the cottage exhausted when his sister is alone: She feeds
him and hides him when her husband
and an officer enter the cottage to kill
him in revenge, because the officer
was in charge of the execution of his
brother. A tragic scene followed, in
which the wife persuaded her husband to spare the officer for the good
of France, she having first secured a
promise from the officer to let her
brother depart free. It was a clever
piece of emotional -acting on the
lady's part, and the sketch kept the
audience intensely interested.
The closing sketch was a farce portraying, the troubles of a bridegroom
and his best man on the night before
the wedding. The bridegroom, a literary, man, failed to receive an expected check to pay for his proposed
honeymoon. He sought' the help of
his brother-in-law, and persuaded
him to steal some of his sister's silver
wedding presents. In the effort to
transfer the silver to the bridegroom
without the house, many laugh-provoking situations' arose, which placed
the audience in the best of humor.
It is really remarkable what these
people accomplished on the small and
incconvenient stage, hut they used
genius and overcame some troublesome obstacles for presenting the
'plays.—Clinton Local.
Saline Welcomes
University Inspector
Mr*. Bdmondson, official inspector of
the TJ. of M., dropped into the school
on Friday, a most welcome visitor.
School and village have heen waiting
impatiently for the opinion of the university, inspector, since it was through
the recommendation of the university
that the present plan -was adopted and
the present^ corps of teachers selected.
Inspectors are not talkative men and
many schools wait anxiously their de-,
cision. Mr. Edmonds^n, however, reversed the order and, taken off his
feet by the hearty songs and cheers
of.the junior high, said to them, "You
may feel proud of the fact that you
helong to this junior high school since
Saline is leading the state in the inauguration of the new movement in
education and is the first small school
in Michigan to successfully have
worked the six-six plan. It is a wonderful thing to he loyal- to a.group.
One thing we need most right now is
loyalty and I trust when you get into
the senior high you will be just as
loyal' to that group. I am not supposed to make speeches in the schools,
but "when I see this splendid demonstration I cannot refrain from commending this organization and the
ones who have perfected it here."
Later "he made very special mention
of the work done in the English department, the most difficult in the
school, and the care with which the
consecutive course has been worked
out by the head of the  department.
Mr. Edmondson took with him two
copies of the complete ."plans of the
school, one for the University of Michigan and one for the University of
Wisconsin, which is now especially
interested In workable six-six plans.
He stated in leaving that the eyes of
the university will be upon the Saline
school ijrith the hope that when it was
necessary to again inspect the school,
it might find conditions as prosperous
and -present standards .maintained.
